Coping with collegeblues
Freshman transition often leads to depression for students who must quickly adjust; social life centered on a substance that only worsens the condition makes it one difficult to escape
BY COURTNEY

Katie Cox recalls sitting in a geology class freshman year when she was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. She started crying, and couldn't stop, which was embarrassing for Cox, a St. Louis sophomore.
Cox wasn't
Cox wasn't motivated to do anything, didn't feel like socializing, ate and slept poorly and cried so frequently she began wearing sunglasses to class to hide her tears.
Cox had joined an increasing number of college students who suffer from depression so severe that they can't manage everyday tasks. According to the American College Health Association (ACHA), the percentage
of college students diagnosed with depression has increased 56 percent in the last six years. That depression is often triggered by leaving a structured home life, high school friends and relationships for a college life where students have to make their own decisions. Psychological problems such as depression often first surface
and they begin to isolate themselves from friends. However, students like Cox can reach out to get the help they need, whether it's therapy, anti-depressant medication or natural mood-boosters, and the University of Kansas has made these options available for students.
during early adulthood and late adolescence. In addition, the college social scene is centered on the powerful depressant alcohol, which can make these feelings even worse.
DEFINING DEPRESSION
Stephen Ilardi, associate professor of psychology at the University, said students often feel sad and homesick when they left for college freshman year, but depression goes beyond these feelings. He said there was more public misunderstanding of depression than of any other illness.
Melissa Farr, Leavenworth senior, has suffered from depression periodically since freshman year. Farr had a tough time settling in with roommates, broke up with her boyfriend of three years and was experiencing hormone problems. She began to withdraw from friends, and her grades plummetted. She turned to alcohol to escape it all, not realizing it was a depressant that would only worsen her condition.
Farr had to force herself to care about school or even shower. She didn't care whether she ate, and she lived for weekend nights. Instead of attending class, Farr spent her time lying alone in bed, in the darkness and silence of her dorm room, while her roommate was in class or socializing.
"Everyone has sadness," Ilardi said. "Depression is not just moodiness and sadness. It profoundly impairs your ability to function, ability to stay asleep, quality of sleep, robs you of energy and the ability to concentrate."
Depression can manifest itself in different ways. Students may feel like they never want to get out of bed or don't want to shower,
"For the longest time I was just kind of naive and sugarcoating everything and not wanting to say 'Look, cut the crap; there's something wrong,'" Farr said.
"There was a part of me that knew I had to get up and shower and eat and stuff like that, but I didn't care."
MELISSA FARR Leavenworth senior
"I if I was asleep all the time, that was less time awake to experience reality and having to deal with things," Farr said. "My bed was a safe place to be."
H a r a
Morano, editor at large
of Psychology Today,
has extensively studied
depression in college
students and said a lack
of engagement was the
main cause of depression.
H a r a
"That's how you define it. Kids who are not engaged intellectually have no flow, no real deep meaningful exchange. They think about themselves all the time. When you are engaged with something on the outside, you grow and are forced to reflect on that experience." Morano said.
Ihardi called depression a neurological runaway stress response in the brain with a set of physical reactions to it, similar to the flu.
"They have no energy, feel like they just want to crawl in a hole and don't want any interaction," Ilardi said.
Ihardi said depression could negatively impact memory and appetite and make those who suffer from it lethargic. Depression stimulates the parts of the brain that register physical pain, and some people say depression can hurt worse than natural childbirth or a kidnave stone, he said.
Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence, said depression could look like anger and aggression, not just like tears and withdrawal. She said feelings of depression didn't necessarily diminish over time regardless of support and self-care. She said that if people could just decide to feel better, they would, but that "it's just not that easy"
This often causes depressed students to drop out of school, and those who don't drop out have to force themselves to keep at it.
Morano said, "They can perform sort of like robots, going through the motions of current and extracurricular life, but there's no soul there. It is really hard to study if your mind has been hijacked by stress or anxiety."
Farr said she struggled to carry on.
Farl and she struggled to carry on.
"It was almost like I was forcing myself.
There was a part of me that knew I had to get up and shower and eat and stuff like that, but I didn't care," she said.
Cox said she didn't feel like herself.
"I was just kind of flat." Cox said. "I felt like I was alone trying to handle this by myself. A lot hit me all at once."
EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM
According to an ACHA survey of 23,863 students from 34 colleges, including the University, 35 percent said they felt so depressed that was difficult to function one to 10 times in the past year. If that percentage held true for the 28,000 KU students, almost 10,000 of them would have felt depressed in the past year.
Illardi called depression on college campuses an "epidemic." He estimated that around one in five of the 600 students in his classes were currently depressed or had taken antidepressants. Illardi said that because he taught classes such as abnormal psychology, the percentage of depressed students in his classes may be higher than the total number at the University because students who suffered from psychological problems were more interested in the subject.
"The proportion of students who have told me directly about their own experience
with depression is really pretty staggering," lardi said.
Morano, a Psychology Today editor, said the increasing rates of depression were "astronomically high on college campuses these days, no matter what sources you look at."
Morano said depression was common in young people because of the stress that college can cause, their lack of coping skills to effectively deal with internal pain and because their parents hovered over them and prevented them from developing a healthy sense of self.
Before students went off to college, they had structure in their homes, Morano said. They wake up at the same time each day, go to school and have parents who make them meals and tell them what to do.
"Then you get to college on your own and have to decide when you go to sleep, when to get up and when to study. There's more room to not be self-organized and fall apart," Morano said.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@ku.edu
Flying Club
The sky is the limit for members of the KU Students Flying Club.
The Flying Club is a new organization to the KU community, Victor Jara-Olivares, Vina Del Mar, Chile, graduate student and president, began the club last summer.
"I came up with the idea and sent out an e-mail," Jara-Olivares said. "Even students who were not pilots were interested in the club."
The club focuses on encouraging aviation interest in the KU community, while providing a lower cost per hour to fly. It is open to anyone affiliated with KU and is a nonprofit organization.
"This is our hobby," Jara-Olivares
said. "It's not a business."
To help the organization start smoothly, Jara-Olivares, William Blake, Olathe graduate student and vice president, Cameron Lewis, Olathe graduate student and treasurer, and several other students spent the semester creating a constitution, dealing with insurance costs and performing other introductory responsibilities.
Although it took a lot of work to start the group, the members are excited about the progress the club has made.
"We love to fly," Blake said.
Blake and Jara-Olivares both have their Private Pilot License, PPL. Lewis is in the process of getting his license.
In order to obtain a PPL, a pro
spective pilot must attend ground school, take a knowledge exam and obtain a minimum of 40 hours of total flying time to qualify and request the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, flight examination.
The expenses can add up. It can often cost $120 to fly an airplane for one hour, plus a $30 instructor fee at local airports. The flying club hopes to reduce the airtime price to $80 when it buys its own airplane next semester. This would help pilots reach their required number of hours at a cheaper rate and would allow members to fly for their own enjoyment.
The club follows all of the FAA rules and is in the process of collecting donations and talking with affiliates through the aerospace engineering program to raise money for the
airplane. The airplane would not be used for commercial purposes or as an alternative source of transportation, but would be used only by the members of the club.
"The club gives the community the opportunity to fly at very low rates," Blake said. "There is no other non-profit flight club around the area that is open to everybody."
The club consists of about 16 members and meets once a month, depending on members' schedules.
For more information or to send donations to the organization, call 785-864-7819 or e-mail Jara-Olivares, Blake or Lewis at kusf@ku.edu. The group's Web site is http://groups.ku.edu/-kusfc.

ODD NEWS Cat survives 19 days with head stuck in a jar
BARTLETT, Tenn. — Tabitha Cain fed a feral cat she called Wild Oats for several years, but now she's thinking of changing the feline's name to Survivor.
That's because she said the cat survived for 19 days with a peanut butter jar stuck on its head.
"We tried to get her, but being the type of cat you can't catch, she kept running and hiding," said Doretha Cain, Tabitha's mother.
The family saw the cat several times with the jar on its head and tried in vain to catch it. But after not seeing the cat for a week, the Cains feared the worst
"I thought she was going to die with that jar on her head," Tabitha, 25, said.
They found the once chubby cat on Wednesday, too thin and weak to flee. They caught her with a fishing net and used some oil to get the jar off her head.
They gave her water and treated her wounds. On Friday she began to eat again.
"I've heard of cats having nine lives but I think this one has 19 because she survived 19 days," Doretha said.
Memphis veterinarian Gerald Blackburn said he heard similar stories of pets getting trapped for days or even weeks at a time and surviving. Blackburn said the cat may have lived off of its excess fat.
Husband's wedding band deflects bullet, saves life
JACKSON, Miss. — Donnie Register has a new reason to be thankful he's married — police said his wedding band deflected a bullet and probably saved his life.
Two men walked into Register's shop at The Antique Market on Saturday and asked to see a coin collection, police Sgt. Jeffery Scott, said.
"The bullet managed to go through two of his fingers without severing the bone;" said his wife, Darlene Register. "A part of the bullet broke off and is in his middle finger. The other part is in his neck, lodged in the muscle tissue. But it's not life-threatening."
She said she gave God all of the credit.
Police were searching for the robbers, who Scott said "stole a substantial amount of cash."

Scholarship honors fire victim
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
Nicole Bingham was a Wichita senior at the University of Kansas when she died on October 7, 2005, in a fire at the Boardwalk apartment complex. Six days later, on what would have been her 22nd birthday, Nicole's mother, Nancy Bingham, established the Nicole Bingham Memorial Scholarship Fund in her memory.
The scholarship will be offered to students for the first time next fall.
It is for history majors, and students who apply must have a GPA no higher than a 3.5, which Nancy said reflected Nicole's coursework. The scholarship will be given on a need basis.
The scholarship will be offered for
the first time next fall. Last month, the fund for the scholarship reached $30,000, which is the minimum requirement for an endowment fund. Nancy Bingham said that each year, the scholarship would be awarded in the amount of interest that has grown from the $30,000. She said she expects this to be about $1,300 per year.
Nancy Bingham said that funds for the scholarship came from money she had saved for the rest of Nicole's education, friends and relatives of Nicole, and the Boeing Company, for which Nancy worked.
Lisa Scheller, senior editor of the KU Endowment Association, said history majors would receive an e-mail during the spring semester with information about how they could apply for the scholarship.
Nancy Bingham said she hoped the scholarship went to someone with interests similar to Nicole's.
Nicole planned to work in museum management after graduation. Nancy said Nicole was a happy person and her friends were the most important part of her life.
Nicole had a congenital heart defect, and Nancy said she was very careful about her health because of it. Nancy said that because of her heart problems, there was a 9-percent chance that her heart could stop at any moment. Nicole told her that if anything happened, it was important to her that she have a large memorial for her friends. Nancy said that this scholarship partly fulfilled that wish.
"She had been through a lot of things in her life. Really, a lot of trauma," Nancy Bingham said. "She
learned how to overcome them."
Nancy Bingham said she was grateful to the KU Endowment Association for its help with the scholarship fund.
"She was the love of my life," Nancy Bingham said.
Nicole was Nancy Bingham's only child.
"They dropped everything that they were doing so that they could put it together that day and let me sign on her birthday," Nancy Bingham said.
Nicole was one of three people who died in the 2005 fire at the Boardwalk apartment complex. Complex resident Jason Rose is serving a 10-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter, aggravated arson and aggratated battery.

Putin wins amidst voting manipulation claims
LYNN BERRY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin's party won a crushing victory in parliamentary elections Sunday, paving the way for the authoritarian leader to remain in control even after he steps down as president.
The vote followed a tense Kremlin campaign that relied on a combination of persuasion and intimidation to ensure victory for the United Russia party and for Putin, who has used a flood of oil revenues to move his country onto a more assertive position on the global stage.
"The vote affirmed the main idea: that Vladimir Putin is the national leader, that the people support his course, and this course will continue," party leader and parliament speaker Boris Gryzlov said after exit polls were announced.
Several opposition leaders accused the Kremlin of rigging the vote, and
the Bush administration called for a probe into voting irregularities. Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov called the election "the most irresponsible and dirty" in the post-Soviet era.
With ballots from 54.7 percent of precincts counted, United Russia was leading with 62.9 percent, while the Communists — the only opposition party to win seats — trailed with 11.7 percent, the Central Election Commission said. Exit polls seemed to corroborate the partial results.
The Kremlin portrayed the election as a plebiscite on Putin's nearly eight years as president — with the promise that a major victory would allow him somehow to remain leader after his second term ends next year.
Putin is constitutionally prohibited from running for a third consecutive term, but he clearly wants to stay in power. A movement has sprung up in recent weeks to urge
him to become a "national leader," though what duties and powers that would entail are unclear.
Pollsters said United Russia's performance would give it an overwhelming majority of 306 seats in the 450-seat State Duma, or lower house. The Communists would have 57 seats.
Two other pro-Kremlin parties — the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party and populist Just Russia — also appeared to have made it into parliament, with 9 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, in the early count.
One Liberal Democratic Party deputy will be Andrei Lugovoi, a former KGB officer and chief suspect in the poisoning death of Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in London last year. Russia has refused to hand Lugovoi over to Britain, and the Duma seat provides him with immunity from prosecution.
No other parties passed the 7 percent threshold for gaining seats in
the legislature. Both opposition liberal parties were shut out, predicted to win no more than 2 or 3 percent of the vote each.
Many Russians complained Sunday about being pressured to cast their ballots, with teachers, doctors and others saying they had been ordered by their bosses to vote at their workplaces.
Turnout was about 62 percent Sunday, the Central Elections Commission said, up from 56 percent in the last parliamentary elections four years ago.
The Bush administration Sunday called on Russia to investigate claims the vote was manipulated.
All seats will be awarded according to the percentage of the vote each party receives; in previous elections, half the seats were chosen among candidates contesting a specific district, allowing a few mavericks to get in. About 109 million people are eligible to vote.

DEPRESSION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
ALCOHOL AND DEPRESSION
The college atmosphere can be detrimental to someone dealing with depression because social life revolves around keeggers, parties and goes to bars. Because alcohol is a depressant, it only deepens the depression and hides its symptoms.
When Farr first became depressed, she spent her weekends drinking. That's all she would think about. When Sunday evenings came around and the weekend was over, it would depress her even more.
"When I was out getting drunk, it was the best thing that was," Farr said. "I thought if I can still go out and have a good time, then I can't be
depressed."
However, it only masked her problems and worsened them. She used alcohol to cover up against suspicions her friends had about her depression.
According to a study done in 2003 by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, alcohol-dependent individuals are almost four times more likely to have a major depressive disorder than those who are not dependent. The study also found that alcohol abuse was more common among students who had been diagnosed with depression than among those who had not.
Hardi said that alcohol could seem desirable for those who were

Depression has increased 56 percent in college students in the last six years. Depression profoundly impairs a person's ability to function, stay asleep, sleep well and concentrate.
depressed, because of the substance's anti-anxiety effect.
"Ultimately, though, it is a disastrous choice for someone fighting depression, as it tends to make depressive symptoms worse," he said.
Farr said that only after she had stopped drinking and isolated herself from her friends was she able to understand her depression and seek help.
"The alcohol was masking everything all along, and once I stopped partying and stopped drinking, it was a huge slap in the face that wow, there is a problem," Farr said. "You definitely can't drink and be depressed. I've learned that now."
TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION
In March of Farr's freshman year, after an extremely difficult start for her, Farr realized she was close to rock bottom. She was sitting in her dorm room looking out her window that overlooked campus, which had always been a source of strength for her. It was a beautiful Sunday, and Farr finally picked up the phone and called her mom to ask for help.
"I can't do this on my own anymore," Farr told her. "It was definitively a huge weight off my chest; I could finally take a deep breath," she said of the phone call.
Farr began seeing a therapist and started taking Lexapro, an antidepressant. Her depression began to lift. Unlike others who take antidepressants, she suffered no side effects and slowly built herself back up. She was eventually able to stop taking the medication and going to therapy.
During the summer before her senior year, she began to relapse. She was irritated frequently and again withdrawn from others. She started to give up on school. She went back on Lexapro, but this time suffered side effects such as insomnia and headaches.
"If anything, I felt worse," Farr
said. "I wish I wouldn't have even gotten back on the medication, because it was terrible, but now I'm over that hurdle and don't really have any of the side effects."
Medication is a controversial treatment for depression among younger people. Not all psychologists and psychiatrists agree that antidepressants are effective or the best answer for college-age patients. Some studies suggested younger depression patients who took antidepressant drugs were more likely to consider suicide.
Also, medications such as Xanax, Lexapro and Effexor that psychiatrists commonly prescribe for depression, can cause sleep problems, nausea, fatigue and decreased libido.
"There's a bizarre irony for antidepressants," said Ihlardi, the associate professor of psychology. He said that the use of such medication "has increased exponentially over the last couple of decades and despite this, the rate of depression just keeps going up and up and up. It's not like we have a widely effective treatment."
Morano said she didn't think anti-depressants alone were the answer.
Depression and Alcohol
Binge drinking is more common among college students who report being depressed, those who have felt suicidal in the past year and those who have attempted suicide than among those who have not.
Alcohol use is more common among those who have been diagnosed in the past school year than among those who have not.
"You don't learn the coping skills, and I personally don't think it is all that effective," Morano said.
Cox treated her depression with Lexapro, and she said she felt better within two weeks. After about four months she stopped taking the medication.

John Wade, outreach coordinator of KU Clinical and Psychological Services (CAPS), said that at times medicine was very helpful, but that treatment had to be decided on a student-by-student basis. He said working with a therapist always helped people make progress more quickly.
"It's like trying to become a better tennis player without a coach." Wade said about taking antidepressants without seeing a therapist.
Epstein, of Headquarters Counseling Center, said that whatever the treatment, it was most important for people to seek it.
"We need to feel just as comfortable getting help for a mental health problem as we do for physical health problems," Epstein said.
Iliardi said depression left untreated could lead to brain damage and shrinkage of key areas in the brain.
Other than medication and therapy, treatments for depression include exercise, sunlight and Omega-3 supplements. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol and nicotine helps, and Epstein said that expressing yourself through art, journals or simple conversation with others could ease the pain of depression.
Psychology Today's Morano said, "Just doing things that are pleasurable helps. Working out, sex, being with other people, doing something for other people are all mood boosters and take pressure off of yourself and are all important."
Morano said universities needed to take a larger role in helping students deal with such a common problem.
"Even if the universities didn't cause the problem, I think they have a job to help solve it, because they're part of the business, and part of the
job is making people whole socially, emotionally and cognitively," Morano said.
CAPS, Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Headquarters Counseling Center all offer therapy and other services for students with depression. CAPS offers individual counseling and group therapy and has a psychiatrist to prescribe medications. It also has a free online screening for depression, anxiety and alcohol use that students can use to determine whether they need help and how severe their problems are.
Cox is grateful she received help for her depression. She said she thought about how her friend who committed suicide might not have done so had he gotten help. Farr still battles depression and worries she will suffer relapses for the rest of her life. She is currently in a two-year-long relationship and rarely drinks anymore, but said her medication made her emotionally numb.
"I definitely have my good days and bad days," Farr said. "I mean, you just have to carry on. You have to find it somewhere in you, no matter how bad you are, to just carry on."

'Enchanted' again tops box office
BY DAVID GERMAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The fairy-tale romance "Enchanted" maintained its magic at the box office, pulling in $17 million to remain the top movie amid a sleepy weekend at theater.
Disney's "Enchanted," starring Amy Adams as a cartoon princess banished by her fiance's wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon) to live-action Manhattan, raised its total to $70.6 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
After a solid Thanksgiving holiday in which revenues compared to the same period last year, Hollywood's business sank back into a box-office funk that has persisted most of the fall.
The top 12 movies took in $76.6 million, down 6 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Happy Feet" led the box office with $17.5 million and "Casino Royale" was No. 2 with $15.1 million.
Because of record summer revenue, business for the year is up, with Hollywood taking in $8.7 billion domestically so far, a 4.7 percent increase from 2006. Factoring in higher ticket prices, though, actual movie attendance is just a small fraction ahead of last year's.
"After the strength of the summer, we expected the fall would follow suit, and it just hasn't done that," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "It's a good crop of films, but the marketplace just has
The weekend's only new wide release, the Weinstein Co. and MGM thriller "Awake," opened in fourth-place with $6 million. "Awake" stars Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba and Terrence Howard in a tale about a man who is conscious during heart surgery and overhears his wife's plot to kill him.
not been able to rise above the levels we were hitting last year at this time."
In limited release, the acclaimed comic drama "The Savages" debuted strongly with $153,121 in four New York City and Los Angeles theaters, averaging $38,280 a cinema, compared to a $3,002 average in 2,002 theaters for "Awake."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Student Senate makes progress; needs better communication
United Students has made headway into passing its platforms, but stalled proposals and lack of dialogue pose problems for the next election.
When United Students emerged as the top coalition in last spring's Student Senate elections, the student body trusted that it would make progress in bringing its various platforms to fruition. Halfway through the year, United Students has made admirable progress in some areas, but there is still room for improvement before elections in the spring.
The most immediate praise for Senate is in its successful campaign to increase student parking access to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. The proposal, drafted and presented by Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, allows students without yellow permits to park in the SRFC lot for a period of up to three hours
at a time. As of next semester, when the proposal will go into effect, students should be able to utilize the SRFC more during the day without worrying about parking.
Another target of Senate's this past semester is the University's zero-tolerance policy on illegal downloading. Senate has suggested to administrators that the policy isn't being adequately enforced, and has set up a task force to investigate the issue.
Two of United Students' platforms, implementation of a dead week and improving technological access for students on campus, are currently in the middle of their proposal periods.
Regarding a dead week, the University Governance's calendar committee is debating the feasibility of even allowing a single stop day, leading Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, to realistically expect opposition. While Senate's proposal, written months ago, is ready to go, administrative decisions beyond Senate's control may prevent it from getting passed.
Love is also polling students at the University in order to convince administrators that technological access on campus is necessary for a well-rounded learning experience. Once this polling is complete, Senate will begin work on a formal proposal, which in the original platform included less expensive software costs and more technology in classrooms.
In addition to progress, Senate also faces several uphill battles in the next few months.
University Governance failed to pass legislation that would change the grading system of credit/no credit courses. Under the current system, passing constitutes having a grade of A-C. The legislation would have allowed students to pass with a grade of A-D. This setback forced Love to place a proposed "A" Guarantee' plan on hold for fear that it wouldn't pass.
United Students also placed emphasis on sustaining a more environmentally friendly campus in their election platform. Recycling was the keystone goal here, including adding permanent recycling bins to Park and Ride lots. Love delegated this
issue to the Environmental Advisory Board and has yet to see if they have made progress with it.
This general lack of communication, more than the success or failure of any one platform, is United Students' largest flaw. It is imperative that Love and Wittinger each know exactly where their coalition stands regarding the progress of their platforms.
The most disappointing action that Senate has undertaken this year is the $20 fee increase due to inflation. $20 is not an outrageous sum, but is still important considering the coalition's attempts to stave off fee increases and the general rising cost of University attendance.

Overall, United Students has
What's important is not that these proposals are stalled now, but that they come to completion within the next few months, and that coalition leaders successfully communicate amongst themselves and keep the University abreast of progress. The only obstacle keeping United Students from another successful campaign season is itself.

GARDENING TIPS
Paying for a family is a daunting, consuming task Having children incurs costs beyond financial support
TOM HOFFMAN
BRANDON T. MINSTER
My kids can't agree on the gender of the baby in my wife's tummy. My daughter insists it's a girl, while my son is adamant it's a boy. They're both wrong: What this baby is is expensive.
This is our third kid, but our first without insurance, and as every American knows, things purchased through insurance are "free." After our son was born, a nurse tried to help us loot the hospital before checking out, offering us handfuls of $45 bags of chemical ice that she swore were complimentary. I told her a bag of frozen water from our freezer at home would do the same job. "But these are "ee," she repeated.
Let me set the record straight: Nothing involved with having a baby is free. But when I had to give up full-time employment because my degree program is not available at night, we ended up with, "If you've severed a limb, this coverage will make sure you don't die on the sidewalk outside the emergency room doors" insurance, and that type of insurance doesn't cover 'luxuries' like babies.
It was okay, though, because we were so poor we would qualify for government help. Except that program counts gross income, not net, and that put us just barely out of the program. But they miscalculated my hours, ignoring that I don't work full weeks during finals, which put us just barely out.
So I voluntarily restricted my hours to put us just barely in. But we're a family of three for their purposes, ignoring our two other children, which put us just
barely out. But the program has a $200-per-month allowance, which put us just barely in. But then my company gave us a small bonus, which put us just barely out.
I told my wife she had to get used to being poor and start acting like poor people do: Take her two kids to the
program office in Topeka and let them scream in the reception area while she insisted on service. In a war of attrition there's a whole lot of government that has to be worn down. She, however, was born too uppity to that way. It wasn't like I asked her to let the kids grow mullets while she rode a scooter around Wal-Mart. But she still refused.
Meanwhile, our baby's sex made itself outwardly recognizable. People began demanding to know what we were having. Answers of, "Uh, a baby?" appeased no one. With our other two children we had sonograms, going in with a boy name and a girl name and coming out knowing the name of the baby inside my wife. But that was when the state was picking up the tab. Now that we would foot the bill, it didn't seem so important to know.
So we tried to give our baby a general nickname, but our kids can't even agree on that. Our son prefers "Baby X," while our daughter uses the name "Mystery Baby." When we say prayers at night we have to say thank you for both or there is a protest.
We've taken two loans, one from the Bank of Mom and Dad and another from In-Laws Savings and Loans, and that should help us keep the wolves from the door, as it were. My fears of springing our baby from hock or dodging a guy from Jersey in a track suit who's come to "repo" the baby are allayed for now. But if we default to my in-laws I'm worried for my knees.
Minster is a Lawrence senior in economics.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2007
FRIENDS
Gift-giving options abound
BY MOLLY STANLEY
Editor@kansan.com
For those students who did not competitively participate in "Black Friday" and have not finished all of their holiday shopping already, the pressure to start making their list and checking it twice is increasing. Deciding whom to buy for, outside of family members, can be a difficult decision — especially for college students who are often on restricted budgets. So how do students decide whom to buy for and how much to spend?
Erin Solis, Wichita sophomore, said that, outside of her family members, she would buy a gift only for her best friend, and she would probably spend about $15 on the present. Denae Oberdring,
Seneca freshman,
said she was
also buying
solely for her
best friend.
"She is
the only one
that will probably
give something back;
Oberdring said.
GANDER
Olberding said she would be willing to spend up to $50 on a gift for her best friend.
Caitlin Brigham, Bonner Springs freshman, said
Caitlin Bridg freshman, said that she would buy a present for her best friend, who is also her roommate
"I'm cheap. I'm a college student, I'll just give my love to my friends," said Jackie Koester, Hoisington freshman, Isaiah Bruce, Andover junior, said that the only people he planned on buying for were "me, myself, and 1." Many other students, however, are finding ways to include as many friends as possible in their holiday shopping without having to consequently eat nothing but ramen noodles for two months.
"I'm buying her a poster-sized photo of the two of us so I can admire myself every time I'm in our living room." Brigham said.
But not all students can narrow their shopping lists down to just one best friend. Amy Nye, McLean, Va., freshman, said that she was going to buy gifts for her 10 closest friends and was willing to spend about $20 on each. Emily Bergman, St. Benedict freshman, also plans on buying gifts for about four of her closest friends, she said. Bergman said she would be able to spend only about $10 on each of her friends' gifts.
"I'm hela poor," Bergman said.
But many students do not plan on buying gifts for anyone outside of their family.
ally have a gift exchange, but we agreed not to exchange gifts this year because now we are poor college students," Caldwell said. She said she did, however, plan on buying a gift of about $50 for her boyfriend. But even if students don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, there still may be a "significant other" they can buy for.
Groff said that she planned on buying her dogs something fun, and Sigler had someone else in mind.
"I may even get White Owl something."

"I want to somehow let all of them know that I'm thinking of them this holiday season," Groff added. Many students, like Meredith Caldwell, Plano, Texas, freshman, have made agreements with their closest friends
"I'll give a beer to everyone on my floor," said Andrew Sigler, Lawrence freshman. After spending $10 or $15 on his five closest friends, Sigler still wanted to find a way to include the rest of his friends without spending a large amount of money. Brandy Groff, loa freshman, said that she, too, planned on buying fun gifts for her closest friends, and that then, because she can't afford big gifts for everyone, she would buy cards for the people on her dorm floor.

Significant others stress meaning, cost in presents
BY BROOKE HEATH
Editor@kansan.com
》RELATIONSHIPS
With the gift-giving season getting closer, people worry what to get their significant other. Many college students wonder how to show their significant other that they care, without spending all of the money they set aside for spring tuition. At the same time, students do not want to look cheap by purchasing gifts such as 25-cent vending machine rings. Ariel Alexandrou, Dallas freshman, is dating her boyfriend of about one month, Karthik Bonam, Overland park sophomore. She said in new relationships, it was more acceptable and appropriate to spend less money.
David Richart, Overland Park sophomore, also plans to spend at least $100 on his girlfriend of three months, Kristin Werp, Huntsville, Ala., freshman.
"I definitely don't want to spend more than $200, but I want to get him some nice clothes," she said. "I've already spent $80, and I still want to get him some more things."
"I want to get her something that has value, like a necklace," he said. "I also want it to be more personalized, because it will have more meaning coming from the heart, and I think she will appreciate it more."
Werp said she was still throwing around ideas such as clothes, shoes and watches.
"She really likes jewelry, especially rings, so I'd really like to get her something like that." he said. "Or maybe just a season of her favorite TV show, 'America's Next Ton Model.'"
Bonam, on the other hand, plans to spend between $100 and $200 on Alexandrou.
"I think I'll try and stick to the $20 price range," she said. "If I do see something that's a little more and it's perfect for him, I'd get it."
"I used to get him gifts he liked, but it gets harder each year," she said.
While Bonam, Richart and Werp are trying hard to impress their partners with nice gifts, Sherry Her, Peoria, Ill., junior, and her boyfriend of more than three years, Michael Hegeman, Shawnee junior, said they were going to buy each other gifts that they use practically.
"So now I get him stuff he needs. It's just the thought that counts because you want to show you care by getting them something, but not something that's meaningful."
Hegeman purchased her lotion, perfume and a stereo in the past, but isn't sure what to get her this year.
"I want to find an equilibrium between something she'll like and something that's extravagant, because I'm just ballin' like that," he said.
In the past, Ladini Jayarnthe, Olathe freshman, purchased her boyfriend of more than two and a
half years KU basketball tickets and videos.
"For a guy, it's hard to get a really creative gift, most of the time," Jayarante said. "It's easy to get a DVD or video game, but if you got him his favorite football jersey with a signature would be impressive — too bad I can't find a gift like that for him."
Think cheap — unless they are a close friend
"I try not to spend more than $20, unless it's for a really good friend."
Jayaratne also agreed with Richart and said that she tried to personalize her gifts because she thought they were more meaningful.

James McClinton, dressed for the occasion in a black suit, was asked his reaction after Kansas was selected by the Orange Bowl to face ACC representative Virginia Tech on Sunday night.
"Want me to show you?"

McClinton then threw an orange in the air, palmed it and took a big bite, juice spilling onto the press conference podium.
N.Y.
After a college football season that was wacky, up-and-down and wholly unpredictable, maybe it was fitting that Kansas was thrown a curveball. Most projections had the Jayhawks in the Fiesta Bowl after their post-Thanksgiving loss to Missouri. Now Kansas will travel to Miami for the January 3 game against the Hokies.
Kansas fell from fifth in last week's BCS poll to eighth despite not playing a game. The drop did not prevent the Orange Bowl selection committee from picking Kansas over sixth-ranked Missouri.
Missouri's loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference Championship sent the Tigers on a freefall from the No. 1 ranked team in the nation on Saturday to being locked out of the BCS. Missouri will play Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl on January 1.
Not everyone agreed with the decision to place Kansas in a higher bowl game. During the Fox Selection Show, former college coaches Barry Switzer and Jimmie Johnson expressed concern that Kansas was chosen over Missouri after the Tigers won the Border War.
"Mangino, you did a great job, but the other team deserved to go," Switzer said.

The Tigers grabbed the final spot in the national championship game. They will meet the Ohio State Buckeyes, a team that is playing for a national championship for the second consecutive year.

The speedy Mountaineer offense faces the speedy Sooner defense.

Many college football experts have coined the Trojans as the best team in the nation right now. To prove it, they'll have to beat the Illini, a team that snacks its way into a BCS bowl despite losing only three games. Illinois quarterback Juice Williams has transformed into a dual-threat quarterback and running back Rashard Mendenhall ranks eighth in the nation in rushing. But the Trojan defense, led by senior end Lawrence Jackson, has shut down high-octane offenses all season.

If any team has a complaint about how the BCS shook out, it's the Bulldogs. Georgia was ranked ahead of LSU a day ago and ended the season with six consecutive victories. In that span, the Buckeyes and the Tigers combined to lose three games. Instead of visiting New Orleans for the National Championship, the Bulldogs will play the undefeated Warriors in the Super Dome. Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, the NCAA's all-time leading passer, faces off against a strong Georgia secondary.

Wild finish proves it's playoff time
BY SHAWN SHROYER
SSHROYER@KANSAN.COM
So you still don't think college football needs a playoff, huh?
Hawaii, the only undefeated team in the country, had to sneak into the BCS Illinois leapfrogged three higher-ranked teams to get into the Rose Bowl. Oklahoma just beat Missouri, the former No. 1 team in the country, into submission for a second time, but won't be playing for the national championship. And Missouri was snubbed by the BCS completely. If you listen closely, you can hear four-letter words coming in from the east. Stay classy, Columbia.
Instead, two teams riding one-game winning streaks will meet in the BCS Championship Game. One's only claim to fame this season is a down pillow-soft non-conference schedule and a loss against the only good conference foe it played. Sound familiar? The other, which is the first two-loss team to play in the national championship game, has allowed at least 24 points in six games this season, including a total of 93 points in its two losses.
In case you missed it, the final regular season BCS standings were released last night and Ohio State and Louisiana State will play for the national championship. Other worthy teams, though, were relegated to lesser BCS bowls or left out of the BCS altogether.
But wouldn't a playoff cost the student-athletes valuable class time?
What further proof is needed to convince the NCAA that it needs a playoff My solution: A playoff involving the top eight teams at the end of the regular season.
First of all, that's the lavest excuse for balking at a playoff. Give the teams two weeks off to get finals out of the way. If the playoff were intact this year, it would begin Dec. 22-23, the second round would be played Dec. 29-30, and the National Championship would be played Jan. 7 as scheduled.
C
I say make the bowls a part of the playoff.
In the first round, the No. 1 vs. No. 8 game would be the Orange Bowl; the No. 2 vs.
No. 7 game would be the Fiesta Bowl; the No. 3 vs. No. 6 game would be the Cotton Bowl; the No. 4 vs. No. 5 game would be the Capital One Bowl.
What about the bowl games? Only the best teams should get to play in the Orange, Fiesta, Sugar and Rose bowls.
In the second round, the winners of the Orange and Capital One Bowls would play in the Rose Bowl and the winners of the Fiesta and Cotton Bowls would play in the Sugar Bowl. The BCS Championship Game would still decide the national championship to make the computers feel important.
God forbid a few 6-7 teams with four victories against non-conference cream-puffs get left out in the cold during bowl season. This would only benefit college football. The bowl season would no longer be watered down by mediocre teams that have no business playing in bowl games and, instead, would involve more competitive and meaningful bowl games.
But that would make fewer bowl games for the other bowl-eligible teams to fight over.
However, if there really was an outrage over the teams that weren't going bowling, I'm sure college football could find more sponsors and sites to host bowl games. I can see it now: The Victoria's Secret Bowl, the GoDaddy.com Bowl, the Under Armour Bowl, the Freedom Bowl, the Vegan Bowl, and the Pizza Street Bowl.
V
It's no secret college football is all about the bottom line. Otherwise, a playoff system would have been implemented long ago. However, I don't see how my scenario would take money out of anyone's pocket - except for the fans.
College football wouldn't have to lose any bowls and the playoff bowls would

CRIME
Fourth man denied bond
Four in man defined bond
in death of Redskin's Taylor
MIAMI — A fourth man charged in the shooting death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor appeared in court Sunday and, like his co-defendants, was denied bond.
Jason Mitchell, 19, appeared briefly via videoconference in a Fort
Myers courtroom, about 100 miles from here. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, he responded quietly when asked if he understood the charges.
"He looks like he's in shock," said Sawyer Smith, one of his attorneys.
All four have been charged with unpremeditated murder, armed burglary and home invasion with a firearm or another deadly weapon.
Three others — Eric Rivera, 17;
Charles Wardlow, 18; and Venjah
Hunte, 20 — made their first court
appearance Saturday.

Russell Robinson and Darrell Arthur defend USC's star freshman O.J. Mayo in the first half. Mayo scored 19 points and had three steals but couldn't carry the Trojans to victory. He turned the ball over five times and missed 15 shots.
basketball notes
THE GREAT
GALEN CENTER
If or when Allen Fieldhouse has to go, the University needs to seriously consider building a venue similar to the Galen Center, USC's sparkling new arena across the street from its campus.
The outside of the building is made of the same brick as nearly every building on campus, allowing it to blend in with the surroundings. Inside, there is a glass window behind the fans on one side of the court that features a view of downtown Los Angeles. The only negative was the lukewarm fan support. At game time, more than a thousand seats were unfilled.
NBA GAME
Twenty-nine NBA scouts viewed Sunday's game. That means every NBA team except one had a representative to watch both Kansas and USC. Both teams are full of pro prospects, USC's OJ. Mayo, Davon Jefferson, TaJ Gibson and Daniel Hackett all have a good chance to play in the NBA. For Kansas, the scouts are looking at Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers.
STEWART'S HOMECOMING
The USC fans booed Stewart when his name was announced for the starting lineup and continued to serenade him with the chant "Lodrick's Better" during the first half. Stewart said he didn't mind. He got the victory and had the most important assist of the game.
"I take it as I'm on the opposite team, it's not a big deal. I almost thought you were Stewart said."

Jayhawks survive challenge from USC
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
LOS ANGELES — The only thought on Rodrick Stewart's mind was to not turn the ball over.
Junior guard Mario Chalmers had just passed him the ball as the shot clock ticked down with less than 30 seconds to go and Kansas nursing a 55-53 lead. Stewart, a senior guard who transferred from Southern California, had already been called for two travels and a charge during his homecoming game. He couldn't mess up again.
ANSA

Sure enough, Stewart found Chalmers open, and Chalmers made a shot from several feet behind the three-point line as the shot clock expired. The basket sealed Kansas' 59-55 victory against Southern California.
"I knew we had a little time on the clock, but I didn't want to look at it again because the last time I did, a guy jumped in front of me and I charged," Stewart said. "But I knew the shot was going to go in. It felt like it was going to go in after it left his hands."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It wasn't the first time Chalmers showed a knack for being the go-to guy. Last week against Arizona, he scored eight straight points down the stretch of regulation to help push the game into overtime. He made a three-pointer against Texas in the Big 12 Championship to send that game to overtime last year.
for Jackson, he had no problem letting Chalmers make the clutch three-pointer.
Chalmers was supposed to take the last shot back then. That wasn't the case Sunday. Kansas coach Bill Self designed a play that should've ended with senior forward Darnell Jackson shooting the ball down low. Chalmers said he passed the ball to Stewart because he thought Stewart had a better angle to throw the ball to Jackson. Stewart instead passed the ball immediately to Chalmers, who scored 17 of his 20 points in the second half.
Although the play was designed
"I think Mario's the big-shot guy for us," Jackson said. "If Mario not out there, it's Brandon. One of those two is always going to make big shots for us."
The shot was pretty; the rest of the game wasn't. For the second Sunday in a row, the Jayhawks won an ugly game against a quality opponent.
Rodrick Stewart, front, passes around a Southern California player to Darnell Jackson in the second half of Kansas 59-55 victory. Jackson led all players in rebounding with 13, four of those coming on the offensive glass.
In the first half, USC looked like it might run away. They went on a 14-2 run to take a 10-point lead midway through the first half. Kansas' players looked lost when they tried to run the half-court offense.
"Offensively we were very poor." Self said. "We were so stagnant, and we lost our poise. Their pressure had us sped up pretty good."
Kansas' ability to rebound the ball kept the Trojans from pulling too far ahead. The Jayhawks couldn't clean the glass with a gallon of Windex the first few games of the year. Arizona outbounded them last week and lowly Pittsburg State outbounded them in an exhibition game.
USC brought a backcourt featuring three 6-foot-5 guards and two powerful post players in Davon Jefferson and Taj Gibson. This should've been an easy rebounding day for the Trojans. It wasn't. The Jayhawks won the rebounds battle 42-30.
They bounced back from the scoring drought in the first half by getting offensive rebounds that led to easy baskets. Kansas had 14 offensive rebounds compared with USC's six.
"That was the difference in the game." Self said. "Darnell was a beast on the glass. Shady did a good job rebounding the ball. I was proud of how we rebounded the ball because we hadn't done that up until this point."
Kansas's presence on the boards also helped because USC missed a
lot of shots, especially star freshman O.J. Mayo. Senior guard Russell Robinson pestered Mayo for most of the game. Self said he gave Robinson the nod because he was the best perimeter defender on the team. Mayo missed 15 of 21 shots and turned the ball over five times.
"He's a pretty good player. He can get his shot whenever," Robinson said. "He kind of settled for a lot of shots and that made my job a lot easier."
The victory certainly wasn't easy for Kansas. The Jayhawks shot only 38 percent from the field, but their defense, rebounding and clutch
shooting helped them win. Kansas is now two-for-two against quality opponents this season. Self said that USC would probably be the best team the Jayhawks would face until conference play and that his team needed this test.
"You have to win games where you don't play great, especially on the road," Self said. "That was one of those grind-it-out games where we competed hard. We didn't execute worth a flip, but we competed hard."

Sade Morris, sophomore guard, makes a lay-up early in the first half of last night game against St. Louis University. Morris, along with Danielle McCray, sophomore guard, led the team in scoring with a total of 16 points. The Jawhaves billiards the Billikens 81-55.
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
In the middle of a five-game home stand with Big East foe Marquette coming to town on Thursday, it would have been easy for Kansas to look past St. Louis Sunday afternoon.
The Jayhawks ended that thought quickly, opening up a 27-7 lead before gliding to an 81-55 victory.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson's team played a nearly perfect game in last Tuesday night's 91-56 win over Creighton, which made it easier to poke holes in Sunday's seemingly ideal win.
"We hit the gas pedal hard in the first half, but unfortunately, we didn't stay on the gas pedal like we did (Tuesday) night," Henrickson said. "I thought we played 30 minutes or 28 minutes, and we've got to be a team that understands how to play 40 minutes every night."
The Kansas offense shot a deadly 57 percent from the field in the first half and settled in at 51 percent for the game.
Sophomores Sade Morris and Danielle McCray were as consistent as ever, turning in a combined 32 points and 15 rebounds. Adding to that offensive output was freshman Nicollette Smith who poured in 13 points.
"We share the ball, we get uncontested shots, and we get high percentage shots," Henrickson said.
The Jayhaws' defense had an up-and-down afternoon.
"When her feet are set and she's in a rhythm, she's going to make most of those," said Hendrickson of Smith's 3-for-6 night from beyond the arc.
St. Louis shot only 27 percent from the field, including 0-for-7 from long range, but it still grabbed 17 offensive rebounds - a fact that didn't get past McCray.
"We do good in our half court defense, pressuring the ball and making them take bad shots, but we don't reward ourselves," McCray said.
She also noted that an opponent Kansas has down will try and get back into the game with second-chance points, making it even more important to secure defensive rebounds off the first miss.
Overall, the rebounding battle was a 52-38 blowout in favor of Kansas, yet Henrickson and her team understand that a squad like the Golden Eagles will probably take better advantage of almost 20 second-chance shots.
Krysten Boogaard, freshman center, fights off Billiken defenders while trying to shoot during last night's game at Alm Field house. Boogaard scored nine points in the 81-55 victory at St. Louis.
Keeping Marquette off the glass is the challenge for post players like
senior Taylor McIntosh, sophomore Porscha Weddington and freshman Krysten Boogaard
Keeping the ball in the Jayhawks' possession is the job waiting for junior Ivana Catic. If she continues to play up to her current level, though, that won't be much of a challenge.
On Sunday, Catic set new season highs with 32 minutes played, eight points and eight assists.
KANSAS 13 10 24

With all that has gone right for Kansas thus far this season, she still understands that her team has a long way to go.
"We know who we want to be, and I think that every night we're making baby steps towards becoming that team," Catic said.
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Individual defensive statistics were hard to come by for Kansas on Sunday afternoon against St. Louis. The lajahays didn't steal the ball 17 times like they did on Tuesday against Creighton. They didn't even block a shot.
Despite the lack of individual accolades in the box score, Kansas used solid team defense to smother St. Louis and cruise to a second straight blowout victory. The lavhawks won 81-55.
Sophomore guard Sade Morris said the team was concentrating on keeping teams from getting good looks without sacrificing defensive aggressiveness.
"I just think we put a lot of pressure on people." Morris said. "If they can't get what they want, then that's when we force bad shots."
The Jayhawks stitched the Billikens' half-court offense using pressure defense that forced the Billikens to make costly errors. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was happy with her team's defensive play, but stressed the need to maintain focus for 40 minutes.
Part of sustaining that focus is sustaining defensive aggressiveness without fouling. Kansas sent St. Louis to the charity stripe 36 times.
"We've got to be able to pull our hands back, trust that our help is there and stop plowing at the rim," Henrickson said.
St. Louis shot only 27 percent from the field, and its leading scorer, Katie Paganelli, missed 15 of 19 shots. The Billikens made only 16 of 59 field goals, missing all seven three-point attempts. They also turned the ball over 17 times.
Sophomore guard Danielle McCray guarded the talented Paganelli for much of the game. She said Kansas

Nevertheless, Kansas showed it has the defensive potential to keep itself in games even if it struggles to score. Henrickson said the team would improve as they begin to become more confident in each other on the defensive end.
coaches told the team in practice to force the guard to put the ball on the floor and make decisions under pressure.
Even though she shot poorly, Paganelli finished with 17 points to lead St. Louis. She took advantage of Kansas' fouling tendencies by hitting nine of her 10 free throws.
They will have to. Both major-conference opponents who come next week to Allen Fieldhouse could threaten the Jayhawks' unblemished home record. Although St. Louis couldn't capitalize on a 13-shot free throw advantage, Marquette and Indiana easily could.

CONTROLLING THE ROCK
Junior Ivana Catic has handled her point guard duties this season better than even she had imagined.
"I wanted to be here for my teammates this year," Catic said. "I knew it was going to be expected of me to step up and be the point guard that's going to start everybody off."
On Sunday, Catic dished out eight assists and turned the ball over just twice, bumping her season assist-to-turnover ratio up to 3.625. That's the second best ratio in the Big 12, behind only Susie Powers of Colorado.

Ruling the pool
BY SCOTT TOLAND
Kansas beat out seven other teams to win the Nike Cup this weekend, accumulating a total of 1,090.5 points on the way to victory and rewriting the record books for the Kenyon Athletic Center Natatorium in Gambier, Ohio.
The meet, which ran Thursday
The meet, wi-
through Saturday, comprised four Division I teams and four Division III teams, including host Kenyon College, a perennial power in the Division III National Championships.
Robinson
Kenyon College placed second as a team, with 894 points.
"We were incredibly pleased with how we did," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. "The competition was really good because everyone was really prepared for this meet."
Juniors Maria Mayrovich and Danielle Herrmann turned in strong performances for the Jayhawks. Both won individual events and were part of winning relay teams.
Mayrovich won the 50-yard, 100-yard, and 200-yard freestyle events while setting pool records for each race and being named the swimmer of the meet. Herrmann won the 200-yard individual medley and also set a record for the natatorium in the 100-yard breaststroke. Kansas swimmers set a total of 11 records for the natatorium.
"Maria swam very well," Campbell said. "Her time in the 100 freestyle (49.56) is a time that was invited to the NCAA Championships last year."
Sophomore Ashley Robinson set a new mark for the pool in the 1,650-yard freestyle, clocking a time of 16:44.83. Junior Ashley Leidigh was victorious in the 202-yard butterfly and now holds a pool record for the event.
Kansas athletes set five new relay records during the competition. Seniors Lauren Bonfe and Terri Schramka and sophomores Emily Lanteigne and Carrah Haley were all part of winning relay teams for the Javhawks.
Campbell said he was pleased with the team's progress this season and was confident that the team would continue to improve.
"We want them at a certain point," Campbell said. "About 80 percent are there already and the other 20 percent are not far behind."
The team will now have a break from competition before traveling to Puerto Rico for a winter training trip on Jan. 4.

Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
The KU club hockey team played its last two home games of the semester Friday and Saturday at Pepsi Ice Midwest in Overland Park.
Kansas entered the weekend series boasting a six-game unbeaten streak, with its last loss coming in an overtime showdown in mid-October. The team wanted to continue its success Friday night.
As the puck dropped to signal the beginning of the first period, it was clear that the Jayhawks were in for a fight. St. Cloud State dominated the possession throughout the opening minutes and was rewarded with a goal just five minutes into the game.
Daniel Guilfoil, senior forward, races for the puck during Friday night's game at Pepsi Ice Midwest. Kansas, which had been fighting for a top 10 ranking, lost both Friday and Saturday's games against St. Cloud University.
Students kept cheering on their Jayhawks, despite the numbers on the scoreboard and Kansas finally gave them something to cheer about when Matt Zellner, Inver Grove Heights, Minn., scored the first Jayhawk goal and the team some momentum. That momentum
The first period continued in a similar fashion, dictated by penalties and power plays. After scoring a short-handed goal in the eighth minute, St. Cloud State was awarded a penalty shot. They converted on the relatively rare occurrence, bringing the score to 3-0 in its favor.
The fajhwaks came out in the second period and stepped up their performance on defense. They fought through penalties and managed to keep the Huskers from scoring for the first 10 minutes. St. Cloud did break through though, notching two second-period goals to Kansas' zero. The crowd, sure that the game was over, began to leave the arena.
would be halted as the first period came to a close.
That was a mistake. Kansas came out as a different team from the one it had shown fans in the first two periods. Within the first two minutes Kansas' leading scorer, Erik Bredesen, Crystal, Minn. junior, was able to take advantage of a powerplay opportunity. His work in front of the net resulted in the second goal of the game for Kansas. A few minutes later, Zellmer recorded his second goal, narrowing the gap to 3-5. But St. Cloud would not let up, and scored a goal off a deflected shot with just more than 11 minutes left to play.
The goal would only help Kansas prove its resiliency. In the remaining minutes, Kansas put on an offensive show. The stats reflected this, as the Jayhawks recorded 13 shots to St. Cloud State's two. Nick Hantage, Hutchinson, Minn., senior and team captain, scored next. His goal was
tottowed by one from Glenn Brandt, Arlington Heights, III. sophomore. The two goals resulted in Kansas trailing by a single goal with just more than two minutes left to play.
The remaining crowd showed their support with raucous cheering, standing for the final moments. Kansas was able to get a few chances, but its efforts tell just short and the game ended 5-6 in favor of St. Cloud State.
The team's refusal to give up, even when trailing by four goals, was the key factor in the Jayhawks' near comeback. Head coach Tom Prendergast said he could not take credit for the team's determination.
"I didn't say too much, not too much. They know. They're old enough now to know what to do
Obviously, we wanted to limit the number of scoring opportunities they got, and in that (final) period we did well". Prendergast said. "Maybe I should have said that after the first period."
Kansas played its final home game on Saturday against the same St. Cloud State team. The result was a 6-2 defeat. The Jayhawks' first half of the season ends with the current semester, and many players will be going home for the break.
"A lot of our guys are going back to Minnesota, so I'd assume they will be on the ice up there, and the rest of our guys will jump into some men's league stuff," Prendergast said. "I think they all stay pretty active."

Chiefs drop fifth consecutive game

Kansas City Chiefs defense end Jared Allen celebrates after catching a touchdown pass during the second quarter of the Chiefs' game against the San Diego Chargers Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. The score was the Chiefs' lone touchdown on the day, and they lost 24-10.
San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson catches a 38-yard pass for a touchdown under pressure from Kansas City Chiefs safety Greg Wesley during the second half of the Chargers' 24-10 victory. The catch was Jackson's only reception in the game.
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Norv Turner finally found a team that could handle the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, his San Diego Chargers could be ready to run away with the AFC West.
With LaDainian Tomlinson rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns and the defense getting eight sacks and four turnovers, the Chargers beat Kansas City 24-10 Sunday for their sixth win in eight games. They're beginning to flash the form that made them 14-2 in the 2006 regular season before Marty Schottenheimer got fired after the playoffs.
"I think we have improved as a football team all the way through," said Turner, who beat the Chiefs for the first time in seven tries as a head coach. "I know there were some weeks that it didn't show up."
It was just the second victory in 11 games in Kansas City for San Diego and put the Chargers (7-5) $1\frac{1}{2}$ games ahead in the AFC West, pending Denver's game at Oakland.
The Chiefs (4-8) lost their fifth in a row and could be headed for their worst season in about 20 years.
"It is flat-out embarrassing," said tight end Tony Gonzalez, who had 10 catches for 140 yards, "I don't think I've lost five games in a row as a Chief. It's frustrating, because I feel like we're a lot better team than what we're playing right now."
Since the Chiefs beat the Chargers 30-16 and plunged them to 1-3 on Sept. 30 and triggered an outcry against Turner, the Chargers have turned it around.
"We know we control our own destiny, but I wouldn't say we're breathing easier," said quarterback Philip Rivers, who had a 38-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson. "We're not pleased at being 7-5. It is certainly better to be where we are than looking up at someone."
By the middle of the fourth quarter, normally loud and packed Arrowhead Stadium was quiet and about half-empty.
"We just can't seem to score any points in the fourth quarter coming down the stretch," said Chiefs coach Herm Edwards.
Tomlinson had only 60 yards on 13 carries in the first half, but came on after intermission with scoring runs of 31 and 28 yards. Tomlinson's second touchdown was No. 11 in his career and moved him past Walter Payton for third on the all-time list for touchdowns rushing.
"You've got to understand, the whole reason I wanted to even play football was seeing him," Tomlinson said. "I remember watching everything he did, even off the field, the way he talked to kids, the way he talked to people, the way he carried himself.
"It's definitely an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath with, in my opinion, the greatest running back that has ever played the game."
Shawne Merriman had three of the eight sacks, which broke the Chiefs record of seven allowed in a game. The Chargers also had three interceptions, two off Damon Huard and one off Tyler Thigpen, the third team quarterback who entered late in the fourth quarter when Huard injured his hand.
Hounded and hurried throughout the cold, windy afternoon by an unrelenting pass rush. Huard was 19-of-34 for 186 yards, with a lost fumble — recovered by Merriman — to go with his two picks.
"We just kept applying pressure the whole game and we didn't let up," said Merriman. "Tony Gonzalez had a good game, but he's going to do that. He's one of the best tight ends in the game. It's hard to contain him."
He was starting for Brodie Croyle. For much of the second half, the Chiefs also had two other starters sidelined, linebacker Donnie Edwards with a hamstring injury and left tackle Damion McLntosh with a knee sprain.
On San Diego's third touchdown drive, Tomlinson got loose for a 34-yard gain on third down. Then on third-and-1 from the 28, he dashed through a hole on the left side and sped into the end zone for a 24-10 lead with 10:15 to go.
The Chiefs had one bright spot besides Gonzalez. Defensive end Jared Allen, after getting two sacks, shocked the crowd and the Chargers by catching a touchdown pass.
Gonzalez beat triple coverage and made a leaping grab for a 31-yard gain to the 4. On third-and-goal from the 2, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound defensive end ran onto the field and lined up on the left side. The Chargers appeared unsure what to make of him.
When the ball was snapped, he took off for the left corner of the end zone with safety Clinton Hart chasing. Allen made an over-the-shoulder basket catch for the touchdown and a short-lived 10-3 lead.
"The key was to sell the block," he said. "I probably should have sold it a little longer."

The jayhawks will be making their first appearance in the Bowl
In response to frequent rumors during the last week that the Jayhawks would be paired with Big 12 counterpart Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, Mangino said he preferred playing a non-conference opponent in the postseason.
The Hokies finished 11-2 and defeated Boston College, 30-16, in the ACC Championship on Saturday. Virginia Tech closed the season on a five-game winning streak after losing its first meeting against the Eagles on Oct. 25.
In a season when 11 No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams have lost since Oct. 1 and top-five ranked teams lost 13 times to unranked opponents, Kansas finished as one of only two BCS-conference teams with one loss. The other Ohio State, will face two-loss Louisiana State University in the BCS National Championship
Championship Series, but third appearance in the Orange Bowl. Kansas has also never faced Virginia Tech.
"We worked hard to become one of the best teams in America. We earned it" Mortensen said.
"Dreaming is a passive state. You can dream, or you can pursue. This is a product of our players and coaches pursuing it."
Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said he was "rather ecstatic" after learning the jayhawks' fate — which was announced when Athletics Director Lew Perkins entered the room with a bag of oranges and began tossing them to players shortly before Fox's show.
Mangino's first jayhawk team finished 2-5 five years ago. Last year, the team went 6-6 and was not selected into the postseason. Mangino was asked whether the selection was a dream.

Wealthy students acknowledge benefits disadvantages of lavish lifestyles

After the grueling days of final exams are done, Andy McDowell takes time off for winter break. For McDowell, this means hopping aboard the 90 King Air, one of his family's three planes, and jet-setting to the turquoise waters of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, off the coast of Cancun. McDowell enjoys scuba diving and soaking up the sun on the "tizzer", his family's 68-foot yacht. A captain, employed by the McDowells, takes care of the lizzer when the family isn't spending time on it.
The campus may not be home to any Vanderbilt, Gateses or Buffetts, but McDowell, Mission Hills sophomore, is among the 41 percent of University students from Johnson County, the 46th richest county in the nation based on per capita income. Many of these students have never worried about budgeting,

ture have never been steamed for cash
college tuition or car payments. They know what it's like to drive nice cars and take amazing trips. Thanks to their families financial support, they can focus on academics, athletics and hobbies instead of working part-time jobs. While some may fit the spoiled rich-kid stereotype many have a strong word ethic and desire to succeed after watching their par
ents make their money. Still others think their good fortune imposes an obligation on them to use their money wisely and to give back to society. As other students clip coupons, eat ramen noodles and struggle to pay for college, they can be both envious and entertained by watching their wealthier counterparts on TV or reading about them in stories like this.
"There aren't any maids butlers. We shovel our driveways. You'll see George Brett taking out his trash. There's still very Midwestern values there."
FASCINATION WITH WEALTH
ANNIE THOMPSON Mission Hills junior
Wealth is also a popular theme on TV shows, such as the rich Californians on MTV's "The Hills" or the extravagant parties of "My Super Sweet Sixteen." A Pew Research Center poll published in January reported that 81 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds said that being rich was one of their most important life goals.
that the nation had a fascination with wealth and that today's youth were following a trend in wanting to achieve it. Meyer said entrepreneurship was one of the fastest growing subjects on campuses.
Wallace Meyer Jr., director of entrepreneurship programs in the School of Business, said
America seems to be obeseed with acquiring wealth and scrutinizing the lives of those who have it. In September, The Wall Street Journal announced it would launch a new magazine, "Pursuits," within the next year. The magazine will capture an intimate view of the world of wealth.
Some wealthy students at the University described their families as "well-off," grew up in homes with appraised values of more than a $1 million, attended private preparatory schools and said they had often been referred to as "rich kids."
THE GOOD LIFE
McDowell said most of his spending splurges were on hunting, an activity he said he and his father enjoyed. He admitted the clothing, equipment and traveling made it an expensive hobby.
McDowell said he was fortunate to have the means to support his lifestyle. He has traveled to Belize, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Argentina, Mexico and Alaska. His favorite trips were to the uninhabited Galapagos Islands and bow hunting in Africa.
"I've been able to not look at price tags and say 'That looks cool, and throw it in the cart,' McDowell said. "But I try not to take things for granted."
His walk-in dooset is filled with "untold" amounts of hunting clothes. He said he had spent about $400 on hunting jackets, $1,000 on his bow and about $2,000 on his bow and its equipment. He said the trips could also
be price, especially when he traveled to Africa and brought some friends along. McDowell said the enjoyment he got from hunting was well worth the expense.
"Every cool, crisp morning that I spend up in a tree, I feel so fortunate to be able to do the one thing that I love most in life." McDowell said. "How many people can say that?"
Annie Thompson, Mission Hills junior, said she never gave much thought to her prosperous lifestyle. Mission Hills, a neighborhood of seven figure dwellings, is home to prominent families and local celebrities, such as former Royals baseball player George Brett, the Ward family, who owns Russell Stover Candies, the Kauffman family of Kauffman Stadium, and the Halls of Hallmark cards. Thompson said that she lived in a fairly normal house but that it might be a little larger than an average family's. She said that Mission Hills had some "really huge, crazy houses" but that it also had a strong sense of neighborhood.
"There aren't any maids or butlers," Thompson said. "We shovel our driveways. You'll see George Brett taking his trash.

Q&A
with Professor Curtis Hall
BY DANNY NORDSTROM
What courses do you teach? I teach introductory meteorology courses, "Dynamic Meteorology" and "Synoptic Meteorology".
Where did you go to college? I did my undergraduate and graduate at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
What are your fondest college memories? I was a nerd, so I always enjoyed learning, but I did also enjoy doing things that college students like to do. To this day I enjoy learning. College was such an eye-opening experience for me.
What inspired you to become a teacher? It was more that I became a teacher and then became inspired, I guess. I was an Air Force weather officer. I was sent here to teach Air Force ROTC, and when I got here, the KU board asked me to teach meteorology as well because I was a meteorologist for the Air Force. And to make a long story short, I've been teaching ever since.
PETER E. MIDDLETON
Where you from originally?
Northwest Arkansas.
What kind of music do you listen to? I like a lot of different kinds. I like most old rock and country from the '50s and '60s. I also listen to quite a bit of classical music.
Is there a particular sport you enjoy playing or watching? Growing up, my sports were always individual sports. 1
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I like to run, bird-hunt and work with my hands.
liked to play tennis and run track.
Do you have a favorite film? "The Graduate" comes to mind, but that may be because it's in the news.
What is your favorite season? The fall. From a weather point of view, it's the most pleasing weather. It's no longer
hot, and it's not brutally cold.
Do you have a favorite book? My favorite short stories are "Two Soldiers" by Faulkner and "Blood on the ice" by a Scandinavian author. For a favorite book, I'd have to say "Don Quixote."

17 tons of meat stolen from Australian factory
SYDNEY, Australia — Thieves stole 17.6 tons of ham and bacon from a warehouse and left behind a message busting the owners' chops, police said Monday.
"Thanks," the crooks daubed on a wall of the Zammit Ham and Bacon curers warehouse in suburban Sydney, sometime overnight Saturday. "Merry Christmas."
Owner Anthony Zammit said that when he arrived for work Monday he found a hole in a wall of the building where the thieves appeared to have entered. The stolen meat was worth up to $88,000, he said.
Zammit said that he was offering a $4,420 reward for anyone who helped to recover the meat, and that his company would work overtime to make sure all its Christmas orders were filled.
"We're working 24 hours a day, seven days a week and put on extra staff," he said. "We won't let anyone down."
Two Florida cities agree to share 'beautiful' nickname
ORLANDO, Fla. — Officials from Coral Gables and Orlando have averted a potentially ugly fight over the right to the nickname "The City Beautiful."
Coral Gables applied last year for a federal trademark seeking exclusive rights. Orlando filed an objection blocking the application, and the two sides reached a deal last week.
Orlando can use the nickname in promotional materials in 22 nearby counties, and Coral Gables, near Miami, can use it in 10 South Florida counties.
Orlando has used the name since 1908, Coral Gables since 1933. The slogan has also been used by such places as Storm Lake, Iowa, and Kansas City, Mo.
Orlando and Coral Gables did not, however, agree on which city was more beautiful.
NYC puts vintage train back in service for a day

Connect coalition wants more student involvement in government

A group of student senators has decided to take action against apathy in and toward Student Senate by creating a new coalition based on student advocacy, diversity and accountability.
PAIR
BRD ST.
Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior and student body treasurer, said he would run for Student Senate president representing the new Student Senate coalition, Connect. He said he wanted to give a voice to University students by running a grassroots campaign and involving the student body in the process.
"There is a general lack of confidence in the Senate, and there is a desire for change." Kelly said.
Kelly said there was a general
disconnect between the students and the Student Senate, and also within the Senate itself. He said that after about 20 of the 70 original senators dropped out of the Senate this semester, there was obviously something wrong.
Jack Connor, Overland Park senior and currently a student senator, said he looked forward to change and supported the approach Connect was taking.
"I don't think you could find more than a couple student senators that think things are OK right now," Connor said.
Connor, who ran with Delta Force last year, said he wanted to build better relationships with students to get a variety of viewpoints to bring into Student Senate.
Riley Dutton, Pittsburgh senior and chairman of the Student Senate finance committee, said he supported the coalition and had helped to create a Web site, Facebook group and Facebook application. Dutton was not previously connected to any coalition. He said the Web site had a pre-campaign survey so students could give Connect their input and ideas for the campaign.
Kelly said the coalition was

Kelly said Connect was going to use the input from the students to decide on its platform, rather than just coming up with a platform it could sell to students.

ELECTION
Clinton knocks Obama's presidential ambitions Obama continued campaigning rather than voting on terrorist resolution
BY TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Monday that Barack Obama has too little experience and perhaps too much ambition, pressing an increasingly aggressive campaign against her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Both candidates were in Iowa one month before the nation's leadoff caucuses, with new polls showing Obama had whitted away her early lead and they were virtually tied among Democrats in the state.
"So you decide which makes more sense: Entrust our country to someone who is ready on day one ... or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience, who started running for president the day he arrived in the U.S. Senate," Clinton said.
Her rhetoric underscored the tightness of a race in which polls show a dead heat between them in Iowa, with former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina also in strong contention. Many Iowa caucus-goers say they still haven't made up their minds or could still change them.
Clinton accused Obama of a "rush to campaign" in not returning to Washington this fall to vote on a resolution naming an Iranian military unit a terrorist organization. The Bush administration supported the measure, as did Clinton — and Obama has criticized her for it.
"Presidents can't dodge the tough political fights," she said.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton retorted, "The truth is, Barack

On the contrary, the Clinton folks said, hed made his plans clear to law school friends and even wrote an essay as a young child saying that was his ambition.
After an event in Iowa on Monday, Obama was asked to comment and said, "No."
Over the weekend, the Clinton camp sent reporters a memo taking Obama to task for saying he hadn't been planning for years to run for president — unlike "some of the other candidates."
Obama doesn't need lectures in political courage from someone who followed George Bush to war in Iraq, gave him the benefit of the doubt on Iran, supported NAFTA and opposed ethanol until she decided to run for president."
But then he said, "It's silly season. I understand she's been quoting my kindergarten teacher in Indonesia." He then walked out of the room without responding to additional shouted questions.
As for when Obama decided to run, there was a lot of back-and-forth about that.
Elsewhere in Iowa, Edwards mocked the Clinton campaign for sniping at Obama about his presidential ambitions.

grade I wanted to be two things: I wanted to be a cowboy and I wanted to be Superman."
A new AP-Pew poll showed Clinton essentially tied with Obama in Iowa, 31 percent to 26 percent, with Edwards at 19 percent and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at 10 percent.
Clinton's campaign events on Monday were all based encouraging voters to go to the Jan. 3 caucuses and to bring a buddy.
She held a campaign event at the Surf Ballroom at Clear Lake, the same hall where three Rock'n Roll legends performed before their death in a plane crash in February 1959.
"I am old enough to remember Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper," Clinton told her audience. She said she felt like hearing Valens" "La Bamba."
She was late for the Clear Lake event after a campaign plane carrying reporters ahead of her remained on the runway after landing when the cabin began filling with smoke. The plane had to be towed off the runway before Clinton's plane could land. The source of the smoke was not immediately apparent, the pilot and campaign aides said.
"We were circling and circling and circling," Clinton said.

The Iowa caucuses are Jan. 3, and New Hampshire votes Jan. 8. Several other states quickly follow, culminating in races on Feb. 5 when two dozen states hold contests.
She pledged to be "a president who wakes up every morning ready to fight for our families ... and the
Clinton assailed the Illinois senator on Sunday for a political action committee he controls that has contributed money to elected officials in early voting states. Obama has brushed off the criticism.
Clinton is fighting to nurture a sense of inevitability and to stop Obama or Edwards from undercutting it with an Iowa victory.
Later, in another campaign appearance in Sioux City, Clinton did not mention Obama or the tight competition among Democrats, instead appealing to members of the audience to show up at the caucuses.
"Caucusing, if you've never done it before, can seem a little daunting," she said.
Even later, wrapping up her campaign day with an early evening event in an aircraft hangar in Council Bluffs, Clinton said: "The eyes of the world are going to be on Iowa."
"I wish I was an lowan" so she could participate herself in a caucs, she added.

Calendar changes would feature stop day demise
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
The calendar committee, part of University Governance, is looking into whether to eliminate stop day from the University's calendar.
As University of Kansas students look forward to stop day, a group of KU faculty members and students is looking into whether the day should exist at all.
Barbara Phipps, associate professor in the School of Education and chairwoman of the calendar committee, said that the issue had come up a lot during the past several years.
Phipps said that the calendar committee would consider the vote and make a recommendation in the
In the e-mail, Phipps said that she would like the committee members to consider the change as part of a larger issue of making the University's calendar more flexible, including possibly starting class a few days later.
Mark Pacey, Manhattan graduate student and student senator, is another member of the committee. He said some faculty were concerned with the amount of binge drinking that happened among students the night before stop day.
On Sept.18, the calendar committee voted via e-mail on whether to recommend to University Governance to eliminate the extra day.
spring. She said that if it decided to recommend that stop day be eliminated, the committee would present options of an "acceptable trade-off" to Student Senate. The committee must finish a report with a recommendation by April 1, 2008.
"It wouldn't be done without a careful consideration." Phipps said.
Phipps also said that more student input would be garnered before making a recommendation.
Pacey said that he voted against eliminating stop day because he worked as a resident assistant for Student Housing for two years and saw students use the day productively. He said that binge drinking would happen with or without stop day.
"Students are going to make bad decisions whether they do it on a Thursday night or a Friday night," Pacey said.
The vote happened in the same semester that Hannah Love; Dodge City senior and student body president, asked the KU administration to look into implementing a "dead week" the week before finals. During a dead week, professors would be prohibited from giving assignments or tests to students.
Phipps said that looking into dead week was not something the calendar committee had been asked to do. She also said that if any changes were made to stop day, they would not go into effect until 2012 because the University sets its calendar several years in advance.

Family sues railroads for injuries from crash
John and Marcia Hamstra of Grandville, Mich., along with their daughter-in-law and grandchildren, are seeking damages from the railroads in a lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
CHICAGO — A Michigan family sued Amtrak and Norfolk Southern on Monday, three days after being injured when a passenger train rammed a freight train sitting on the same track on Chicago's South Side.
"The element of damage has yet to be determined," said their attorney, Thomas Prindable.
The Hamstras contend the railroads were negligent during the Friday accident, which injured dozens aboard the train traveling to Chicago from Grand Rapids, Mich.
John Hamstra, 63, fractured his shoulder and suffered a concussion in the crash. The rest of the family was treated and released for various minor injuries.
Spokesmen for Amtrak and Norfolk Southern Corporation declined to comment Monday.
Federal investigators say the train was speeding moments before it hit the stationary freight train.
Most of the 187 passengers on board the Amtrak train walked away without major injuries from the impact, which catanulled people from their seats.
The accident sent 71 people to hospitals. Three people — one Amtrak crew member and two passengers — were hospitalized overnight. The two workers aboard the Norfolk Southern freight train, which was headed to Chicago from Elizabeth, N.J., were unhurt.

Group says government miscalculates AIDS cases
BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Advocacy groups say new government estimates will show at least 35 percent more Americans are infected with the AIDS virus each year than the government has been reporting.
Government officials acknowledge they are revising the estimate, which they say is not yet complete.
But advocates are pushing for the government to release the number now. They say the delay may be partly political, and that it's hurting prevention funding.
"Across the AIDS community, there is an incredible amount of suspicion," said Julie Davids, executive director of the advocacy group Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP).
U. S. health officials have been estimating about 40,000 new HIV cases occur in the nation each year. However, at a national HIV prevention conference in Atlanta this week, advocates claimed the new estimate was 55,000 or higher.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the numbers were being reviewed for accuracy and wouldn't be released until early next year.
The new estimate is based on new testing technology, said Dr. Kevin Fenton, who oversees CDC's prevention operations for AIDS and several other diseases.
The data have been submitted to a scientific journal for more rigorous review to ensure accuracy. They are expected to be released early next year, CDC officials said.
Estimates on new infections help health officials decide how much to spend on prevention programs. Although the estimated number of new infections has held steady at 40,000 for more than a decade, federal funding for HIV prevention in
recent years has declined. Advocates say the trend has severely weakened community organizations that provide prevention and other services to people with HIV.
Although CDC hasn't released any number, the estimate of 55,000 has been circulating among various experts as part of the peer-review process, said Walt Senterffit, a Los Angeles County epidemiologist who chairs CHAMP's governing board.
It's not clear if the rate of HIV infection has been rising, or whether previous estimates were simply wrong. Davids said.
"But either way, this shows that prevention efforts are insufficient," she said.
CHAMP officials say they believe the CDC is concerned about getting the new estimate right. But they added that advocates have been pushing for a better estimate for years, and that the Bush administration has suppressed important public health information before.
This would not be the first time AIDS statistics have been dramatically revised. Globally, the estimated number of people with HIV fell from 40 million to 33 million last month after the United Nations AIDS agency cited new analysis.
Landing an accurate number has been difficult, for several reasons, CDC officials say. HIV can take several years to develop into visible illness, so new infections are not spotted easily. Blood tests can reveal the virus, but most people don't get tested each year. HIV tests traditionally have not been able to pinpoint when a person was infected. A new test can show if infection occurred within the previous six months.
"It's difficult for us in the United States, and no surveillance system in the world is as sophisticated as ours," said Dr. Rob lanssen, director of the CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention.

Are you smarter than a chimp?
Monkey bests humans in memory test; scientists say skills decrease with age
BY MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
A chimpanzee named Ayumu performs the second stage of a memory test in which he must recall the location on a touch-sensitive monitor of numerals that have changed to squares at the Primate Research Institute in Kyoto, Japan. Ayumu scored better than college students on the test, but scientists next want to compare Ayumu's skills with those of younger humans.
NEW YORK — Think you're smarter than a fifth-grader? How about a 5-year-old chimp? Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
That challenges the belief of many people, including many scientists, that "humans are superior to chimpanzees in all cognitive functions," said researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University.
"No one can imagine that chimpanzees — young chimpanzees at the age of 5 — have a better performance in a memory task than humans," he said in a statement.
Matsuzawa, a pioneer in studying the mental abilities of chimps, said even he was surprised. He and colleague Sana Inoue report the results in Tuesday's issue of the journal Current Biology.
One memory test included three 5-year-old chimps whod been taught the order of Arabic numerals 1 through 9, and a dozen human volunteers.
They saw nine numbers displayed on a computer screen. When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there.
Results showed that the chimps, while no more accurate than the people, could do this faster.
One chimp, Ayumu, did the best. Researchers included him and nine college students in a second test.
This time, five numbers flashed on the screen only briefly before they were replaced by white squares. The challenge, again, was to touch these squares in the proper sequence.
When the numbers were displayed for about seven-tenths of a
second. Ayumu and the college students were both able to do this correctly about 80 percent of the time.
But when the numbers were displayed for just four-tenths or two-tenths of a second, the chimp was the champ. The briefer of those times is too short to allow a look around the screen, and in those tests Ayumu still scored about 80 percent, while humans plunged to 40 percent.
That indicates Ayumu was better at taking in the whole pattern of numbers at a glance, the researchers wrote.
"It's amazing what this chimpanzee is able to do," said Elizabeth Lonsdorf, director of the Lester E.
Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. The center studies the mental abilities of apes, but Lonsdorf didn't participate in the new study.
She admired Ayumu's performance when the numbers flashed only briefly on the screen.
"I just watched the video of that, and I can tell you right now, there's no way I can do it," she said. "It's unbelievable. I can't even get the first two (squares)."
What's going on here? Even with six months of training, three students failed to catch up to the three young chips, Matsuzawa said in an e-mail.
He thinks two factors gave his chimps the edge. For one thing, he believes human ancestors gave up much of this skill over evolutionary time to make room in the brain for gaining language abilities.
The other factor is the youth of Ayumu and his peers. The memory for images that's needed for the tests resembles a skill found in children, but which dissipates with age. In fact, the young chimpms performed better than older chimps in the new study. (Ayumu's mom did even worse than the college students).
So the next logical step, Lonsdorf said, is to fix up Ayumu with some real competition on these tests: little kids.

RICH KIDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
There's still very Midwestern values there."
Thompson said that she wasn't embarrassed by her family's economic status but that she tried not to wear it on her sleeve. She attended Pembroke Hill, a private preparatory school in Kansas City, Mo., before moving to Kansas in 1994. Only when she began public school did she realize she didn't have the same financial worries as some of her classmates.
"I didn't know we were well-off!"
Thompson said. "I would ask my mom, 'Why don't I have to worry about money?' "
Eileen Gallo, co-author of "Silver Spoon Kids: How Successful Parents Raise Responsible Children", said this "age of affluence" could offer children positive experiences if used and thought of in the right way. Gallo said money could allow students to focus on activities they enjoyed and expose them to cultural and educational experiences.
Thompson said she was fortunate for the opportunities wealth had provided her because she never had to worry about a job or student loans in college. Thompson said everything in her life had been balanced, despite what people might think. She said money allowed her to travel to Europe, but that she visited her god sister for spring break instead of an extravagant destination.
"I haven't grown up with a silver spoon in my mouth," Thompson said. "I've staved in crappy hotels too."
Thompson did participate in the annual Jewel Ball sponsored by the Kansas City Symphony and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art.
Lisa Schellhorn, Jewel Ball Chair, said the ball was a 54-year-old event that recognized young women and men in their freshman year of college whose families had made significant contributions to the Kansas City Symphony or Nelson Atkins. The Jewel Ball is similar to a debutante ball, a tradition that pairs upper-class young women and young men, eligible for marriage, to each other. Schellhorn said the families involved had been very supportive of the arts community, some for several generations. She said the event was meant to encourage the young men and women to continue contributing to the symphony and museum.
All the young women wear white ball gowns and tiars to the event. "You feel like a princess," Thompson said. She said she often got defensive when talking about the lavish jewel Ball because people didn't understand what an it was it and that it wasn't just a showy party.
Phil Linville, Mission Hills junior, said his family's wealth had let him focus on education and swimming competitively without distractions. He said his parents paid his tuition and would until he graduated, allowing him to make a career in the finance industry his top priority.
Nick Barnthouse, Leaward senior, said the most beneficial aspect of his family's wealth was the ability to concentrate on his education and his goal of becoming a doctor. In high school, he was never pressured to hold a job and instead focused on tennis and academics. However, Barnthouse said he understood the stereotypes about Johnson County.
"I think some people from that area may live up to the stereotype," Barnhouse said. "But a lot come from families that are successful and have an expectation of success with hard work."
In high school, Barnhouse dedicated much of his time to tennis, spending as many as eight hours a day on the sport in the summer, competing in regional and national tournaments. He trained at the John Newcombe Tennis Academy in Texas and joined the academy's team, which traveled to tournaments in England and Scotland and met professional players at Wimbledon. Barnhouse worked as an assistant coach at the Indian Hills Country Club in Mission Hills during the summers.
THE RICH KID
Alex Little, Overland Park sophomore, said his high school, Blue Valley North, had a parking lot full of fancy SUVs and Porsche. In fact, Little drives a BMW. He said he had classmates who fit the rich-kid stereotype, with unnecessarily extravagant cars, bad work ethics and spoiled behaviors.
"People's assumptions are that we don't worry about anything and we're selfish," Little said.
Linville said another part of the rich-kid stereotype was that they were sheltered in a "Johnson County bubble"
and didn't work hard. However, Linville worked a minimum-wage job at a toy store his freshman and sophomore years in high school and then focused on swimming his junior and senior years.
Thompson said people might be surprised at how carefully she spent her money. She said her purchases were all typical for a college student:food, alcohol and clothes. She said Target was one of her favorite stores. Thompson said that she enjoyed buying little gifts for friends but that big purchases weren't a priority.
"I don't splurge," Thompson said. "I don't have any Louis Vuitton purses. I have four fakes."
Thompson has worked every summer since she was 16 as a lifeguard and swim coach and also at the local Cold Stone Creamery. At the end of her sophomore year in college, she started working at The Wheel as a waitress. Thompson said that although she had always received financial help from her parents, college was expensive for any student and that living on her own was the greatest reality check.
FRIENDS WITH MONEY
Glenn Adams, professor of social psychology, said wealth could affect relationships. He said studies had shown that people with more money had more friends. Adams said wealthy people tended to have more friends because they had the time, opportunities and money to meet others and cultivate friendships, although their friendships might not be as deep as those of people with smaller incomes. He said they participated in activities that required time and money, such as weekend trips.
McDowell often pays for friends to come along on trips,
He and close friend Jason Stull, Overland Park sophomore, went to the Bahamas in 2005, and because of the family plane and yacht, there were few expenses. Stull said the trip was low-key, and that it didn't strike him as extravagant. He said they spent time on the family yacht and entered a Marlin fishing tournament in which McDowell won first place.
go on a rafting trip in Colorado was quite different from flying friends to a lavish Italian getaway.
Gallo, author of "Silver Spoon Kids," said bringing friends along on trips could be a positive component of a friendship, if it was the right situation. Gallo said paying for a few friends to
CAN'T BUY ME LOVE
"I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel all right. I'll get you anything, my friend, if it makes you feel all right." Cause I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love." The Beatles sang a hit song about it, but for Johnson County money, money can be an issue when trying to find a significant other who is interested in them and not their wallets.
Chris Hammond, Overland Park sophomore and friend of McDowell's, said that wealth affected relationships but that many Johnson County students avoided the situation by dating someone who also was from Johnson County.
"It's easier when they're from the same lifestyle," Hammond said. "People judge us and think we're wealthy brats. I've seen my friends date a person who will stay in it just because they think they can buy them anything."
Hammond said that when he lived in Naismith Hall with McDowell his freshman year, he could tell that some women had McDowell's money on their minds. Stull said he could recall instances when McDowell's money was a negative factor in relationships. He said that in high school he and McDowell were hanging out with another friend who once said to Stull, "Isn't it great we get to use Andy for his money?" Stull also recalled a girl who turned out to be a disrespectful date for McDowell. He said she only asked McDowell out because of his money.
"There are people who try to use his money once they find out what he's got," Stull said. "It ticks me off."
ALL IN THE FAMILY
Stull said he remembered the first time he went to McDowell's mansion like home in Mission Hills.
"Have you ever seen "The Beverly Hillbillies"? Because that's pretty much what I thought," Stull said.
However, Stull said the McDowells were very laid-back and approachable.
McDowell, an only child, said he had been raised by parents who expected him to work hard and who
"Fortunately my parents are the same way about it as I am," McDowell said. "They realize that just because someone has a hefty bank account, it does not make them better than the next person."
understood wealthy, families had the same issues as others.
Stull the McDowell home and extravagid vacations might support the rich-kid stereotype, but McDowell and his family were far from it. "The whole nob thing, they're the farthest thing from a snob I can think of". Stull said.
Gallo, author of "Silver Spoon Kids," said that choices wealthy parents made when raising their children could have positive and negative effects on their children. She said the best things parents could do was talk about their financial situations. Parents shouldn't tell children they can't afford something when it was obvious they could. She said parents should simply state their values and live by them.
Linville said his parents were hard workers who made their own money. His father works in the financial industry, and his mother worked for years with the Federal Reserve. Linville said his parents fostered an environment for achievement and stressed a strong work ethic. Little said he appreciated that his parents paid for his car and tuition during the school year. He said his parents had worked hard to make their money and paid their way through college, so they understood the financial stretch of being a student.
"My parents are a big reason I'm like this," Little said. "Being well off doesn't make me different. My dad's always telling me, 'Hard work pays off.'
Barnthouse said he admired his father for his hard work and success. Barnthouse's father helped found the Kansas City Orthopedic Institute, and he is a team physician for the Kansas City Chiefs. Barnthouse credited his motivation to watching how his parents lived.
"They said find something that is worth doing, and work as hard as you can," Barnthouse said. "My dad went through medical school, and it was a long, hard path. Now he has a nice life. I don't think it's as glamorous as people think, though."
Barnthouse has done his best to
live up to his parent's example. He is president of KU Mortar Board and was recently nominated by the University as a Rhodes scholar. Last summer, he was an intern with the National Institute of Health in Washington D.C., and plans to attend medical school next year.
"I've always had something I was passionate about," Barnthouse said. "I've had privileges from being well off. It's helped me in athletics and in life in general. But I've never really taken that for granted. I earn my keep."
Gallo said it was important to understand that money was a neutral item and shouldn't be labeled as "the root of all evil" Gallo dedicated an entire chapter in her book to the importance of charity work when raising wealthy children. She said that when children grew up in an affluent environment, they could become materialistic and focused on things more than people but that the values and examples set by their parents could change that trend. She said philanthropic work was one way wealthy parents could raise grounded children.
Thompson said her family instilled strong values in her and her brother and stressed the importance of helping others. Thomson's grandfather served as development director of the Kansas City Symphony, mayor of Mission Hills and president of the Kansas City Country Club. Thompson said that although her mother didn't work outside the home, she did charitable work for Children's Mercy Hospital. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City Symphony, YMCA, United Way and Pets For Life.
"Sometimes the upper class gets a bad rep," Thompson said. "But they may have just given a million dollars back to the community. It's a huge catch-22."
Thompson said that living her mom's life would be great but that she was fine with not marrying into money and excited about establishing a career in public relations. She knows she can turn to her parents in a dire situation, but she knows she's not set for the future.
"Who wants everything when they're young?" Thompson said. "There would be nothing to aspire to. I wouldn't want to know I'm set. There no million-dollar check waiting. I'm prepared to go out and do a day's work."

Don Imus returns to radio after eight-month layoff
NEW YORK — Don Imus returned to the airwaves Monday, eight months after he was fired for a racially charged remark about the Rutgers women's basketball team, and he introduced a new cast that included two black comedians.
Imus' lineup of guests featured two presidential hopefuls, Democrat Chris Dodd and Republican John McCain. As he did several times in the days after the episode, Imus condemned his controversial remark last spring and said he had learned his lesson.
"I didn't see any point in going on some sort of 'Larry King' tour to offer a bunch of lame excuses for making an essentially reprehensi-
le bremark about innocent people who did not deserve to be made fun of,' he said Monday during his debut on WABC-AM.
Imus apologized to the basketball players and called the ensuing furor a "life-changing experience."
"I will never say anything in my lifetime that will make any of these young women at Rutgers regret or feel foolish that they accepted my apology and forgave me," he said. "And no one else will say anything else on my program that will make anyone think that I didn't deserve a second chance."
His debut Monday completed a comeback that seemed improbable at the height of the uproar last spring over his calling the players "nappy-headed hos." CBS Radio fired him on April 12, pulling the plug on his "Imus in the Morning" program, which had aired on more
than 70 stations and the MSNBC cable network.
McCain, who called the show, answered questions about gays in the military (he said he would continue the "don't ask, don't tell" policy unless military leaders said it wasn't working), the recent surge in Iraq (he said it was doing the job), and the 2008 presidential election.
Shortly after the program began, Imus introduced his new cast, including two black comedians, Kaitlin Foster and Tony Powell. Returning was Bernard McGuirk, the producer who instigated the Rutgers comment and was fired as well.
"Thanks for having me on"
McCain said upon signing off.
"Welcome back, old friend."

Student involvement increases during 2008 election season
Exciting candidates and campus groups contribute to a strong political atmosphere
BEN COHEN
It was 10:30 at night, in the middle of September. A large group of KU students were in front of a hotel in Kansas City. Most people had classes early the next morning for which to be up. The event that was scheduled to happen was being delayed. So why were we all there, waiting patiently? Because Barack Obama was coming, that is why. The young, eloquent senator from Illinois with aspirations for the Oval Office was on his way to meet us out by his hotel, after a long day of traveling and speaking to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, who were having a convention in town that day. There was electricity in the air just from waiting for him, and when the senator arrived, it was like people had gathered to meet their favorite rock star, albeit without people throwing their underwear at him.
Something occurred to me that night, as I stood among the throng of Obama supporters. The people I met up with at that last-minute rally were not just interested in a political candidate, they were excited. A generation that seemed like it was doomed to choose between apathy and cynicism has chosen something else altogether: Passion.
On campus, more and more groups are springing up to promote one aspiring U.S. president or another. There are a few supporting Obama, one for Hillary Clinton has just started becoming active, and I envy anyone who can go a few hours on campus without spotting yet another flier or chalking for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul in particular seems to have captured the interest of many students. That obnoxious chalking of his face on Wesco Beach didn't come out of nowhere, after all. Now, I myself am
not the biggest fan of Paul, but I do find it encouraging that so many people are so moved by their passion for the man that they are willing to put as much time and energy as they have into supporting him. It would be nice, though, if they would stop putting chalk on places where people usually sit. Generally, it doesn't help a candidate's chances if their
a candidate's chances if their advertisements end up smeared all over the bottom of someone's jeans.
This recent surge in involvement is encouraging. After the 2004 election cycle, it seemed like the enthusiasm of students had been for nothing. Howard Dean, the Democrat who had based his campaign on the energy and support of young people, had been soundly defeated in the primaries by John Kerry. Many people attempted to transfer their enthusiasm to Kerry after Dean's defeat, but it, in the end, rang hollow, as he was unsuccessful at inspiring them in the same way. When Kerry was defeated by George W. Bush, it appeared that what air was left in the sails of most active students had finally died down.
A funny thing has happened since then. More and more students have become supporters of the newest crop of candidates, and they have not been ignored. "The Daily Show" has become as standard a stop for politicians on the talk-show circuit as "Meet the Press." CNN has utilized YouTube during debates. Soon enough, we may see MTV host a dance-off between the Republican candidates. By the way, if that last one actually happens, my money is on Mike Huckabee. He's got some sweet moves.
Back here at KU, you can expect to see all the current groups, and probably some ones that will spring up in the next few weeks, pulling double-duty to help their preferred Future Savior of America do well in the primaries. Hopefully, all of the enthusiasm they have now will last longer than next November.

Major league baseball fails to inspire diversity Decades after Jackie Robinson, the MLB abandons its populist roots, racial integration
SHAWN SHROYER
Help! I fell in love with a language major!
I'm a freshman and I have a 4.0 thank you.
Reesing, show 'em what you're made of!
Yesterday marked the first day of the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings, but the hot stove has been searing since the final out of the World Series.
Alex Rodriguez kick started the offseason announcing his intent to opt out of his contract with the New York Yankees soon after the Boston Red Sox clinched their second World Series in four years, but my attention shifted to another free agent three weeks ago.
That's when I read a story in The Kansas City Star by Bob Dutton, reporting that the Kansas City Royals were interested in signing free agent center fielder Torii Hunter, despite the long odds against the club.
Any other time, the main disadvantage facing Kansas City would involve its low payroll. But this time, Dutton, citing a story on MLB.com, wrote that the Royals might be unable to sign Hunter because of the team's low African-American fan base.
"I always talk to my wife about being interested in playing in front of the African-American fans and trying to get the African-American back to playing the game," Hunter told MLB.com. "If I go to Atlanta or D.C. and make a difference that way, I would love it. Trust me — D.C. is very interesting to me, as well as Atlanta."
While I was initially disappointed to read yet another reason players might dodge Kansas City and although Hunter ultimately signed with the Los Angeles Angels, I found the quote refreshing. It made me think back to this spring when MLB celebrated the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier.
MLB put on a wonderful ceremony to remember Robinson and, considering one survey showed that more than 40 percent of the players in MLB were nonwhite, the anniversary was all the more special. However, the event wasn't as joyous as it could have been because of another percentage. The same survey revealed that merely 8.4 percent of the players in MLB were African-American.
According to the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, African-Americans comprised 27 percent of MLB in 1975. What happened? As far as I can tell, Major League Baseball simply had the rug snatched out from under its feet by the National Basketball Association and the National Football League in the '90s before it even realized what happened.
In the early '90s, MLB seemed preoccupied with marketing its game, rather than its players, globally. This was apparent with the expansion of four new franchises in six years: The Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins in 1993 and the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1998. MLB then made a concerted effort at the turn of the century to bring in more players from Latin American countries and Japan. Its global outreach culminated in 2006 with the World Baseball Classic.
Meanwhile, MLB forgot
about inner city America. Despite having two phenomenal African-American athletes in their prime in Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds in the '90s, MLB failed to market itself to the blacks youths in its backyard. If not for Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa's home run chase in 1998, MLB might have lost touch with American youths altogether. But even that chase probably appealed more to white and Latino youths than it did young blacks.
By the time Bonds set the single season home run record in 2001, it was too late. The NBA and NFL had already taken over the inner cities.
On cost alone, basketball is a more appealing sport. Basketball shoes are no more expensive than baseball spikes and can be worn off the court, too. It makes more sense to buy a basketball for a group of boys to play with than a baseball bat. Figure in the additional equipment and bodies needed to play baseball compared to a pickup game of basketball and suddenly baseball isn't an option.
Capitalizing on America's short attention span and attraction to controlled violence, the NFL has catapulted its way to the top of the American sports hierarchy. Everything about the NFL is larger than life, from the Super Bowl to the NFL Draft to fantasy football. With African-Americans becoming more prevalent on the gridiron, it is easier for black youths to find an NFL player to idolize.
Football also offers African-Americans a better opportunity to attain a college education, compared to baseball. Division 1 football programs have 85 scholarships to offer. Division 1 baseball programs are allotted only 11.7 scholarships and, according to Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price, many programs don't have enough funding to offer that many. As a result, Price said the best high school athletes choose to play sports that give them a chance to earn full rides, whereas books and tuition is about the most college baseball players can expect to have paid for.
Price said MLB could help college baseball by setting up a scholarship fund for minority athletes, which in turn would offer African-American ballplayers a better opportunity to play professional baseball.
To MLB's credit, it has amped up its RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program. In the last couple of seasons, MLB has actively publicized the program with commercials featuring such African-American baseball players as Ryan Howard and Dontrelle Willis. MLB needs to continue to reseed America's inner cities. It can start by marketing young, African-American ballplayers such as Howard, Willis, Prince Fielder, Carl Crawford, B.J. Upton and Lastings Milledge better than it did Griffey and Bonds in the '90s.
Fortunately, at least one big leaguer is taking it upon himself to bring African-American youths back to baseball: Torii Hunter.
It's encouraging to see a highprofile player make it a priority to connect with the AfricanAmerican population during a time when so many athletes are chasing dollar signs. Howard, Willis, Fielder, Crawford, Upton and Milledge should follow Hunter's lead. This issue shouldn't only enter the nation's consciousness when we pay tribute to Jackie Robinson.

8A HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2007
STUDENT LIFE
Spending the holidays with a significant other
Students brave stress of meeting parents, being away from home
BY ALISON CUMBOW editor@kansan.com
The holidays are coming, and we've seen most of it before: being delayed in airports getting home or being stuck in winter traffic, posing with Santa for the best picture ever or waiting in line so our nieces or nephews could, and drinking way too much eggnog, or way, way too much.
Against the odds though, some brave boyfriends and girlfriends will take that risk this holiday season. Many will be bringing home their significant others, hoping to get through the family dinners and the gift openings and make it out alive to the new year. Three couples were willing to share their experiences.
But one scenario many college students haven't experienced before is bringing home a significant other to join the fun. For some, it could seem that adding a stranger to the mix of oddball, rather eccentric aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents could be a feat not worth battling.
Carlos Perez Beltran, Caracas, Venezuela, junior, is a veteran when it comes to spending the holidays with his girlfriend's sister, Sylvia Niccum, Olathe senior, and her family have invited Beltran into their home for the past two years to celebrate Thanksgiving. Niccum said she wasn't worried about what her family was going to think about Beltran when they first met him.
"My family is very easygoing," she said, "but I was glad when they said they liked him."
Beltran said the way his family and her family celebrated Christmas wasn't very different, except for one thing.
"In Latin America, family comes first," he said. "Not that it's not the same case in the U.S., but back home one would not consider spending Christmas away from home. Hence, I have never spent Christmas in the U.S., but my girlfriend has spent several away from her family."
Nicum has accompanied Beltran to Venezuela twice for Christmas, and the turnout was very successful — Beltran said his family would love to have her back.
Although the previous holidays went smoothly, Beltran said he was going to do one thing differently this year.
"Last year I bought her family one present, and I ended up getting gifts from each one of her family members, so I felt really bad," he said.
Although Niccum and Beltran will not spend Christmas together this season, he is planning for better present etiquette this year and said he was going to buy small gifts for each of her family members.
Unlike Beltran and Nicum,
Megan McClure, Manhattan
sophomore, will be spending the
holidays with her girlfriend's family
for the first time this year.
McClure and her girlfriend,
Lindsay Tippett, Tempe, Ariz.
senior, have met each other's families
only briefly before.
"She's going to introduce me to her brothers, family lifestyle and old friends," McClure said. "I'm wav excited."
Because McClure met Tippett's family earlier this year while moving Tippett into her Lawrence
apartment, McClure said she thought she had already made a good impression with her girlfriend's parents.
"They can see how happy Lindsay is with me," she said.
McClure said that her parents wouldn't have a reason not to like Lindsay and that she wasn't too nervous about them meeting her, although it wouldn't be for the holidays. McClure, who was confident going into the chaotic season of the holidays at a new family's house, had advice for others in the same situation.
"Help out if you see the opportunity," she said. "Being friendly is key, and having a sense of humor doesn't hurt."
Michael Beam, Shawnee sophmore, will also spend the holidays with his significant other. His family has invited his girlfriend of five months, Jennifer Macan, Kansas City resident, to its home for the first time.
"I am excited to have her at one of our family gatherings." Beam said.
Another addition to his parent's house this season will be Macan's 15-month-old son, which thrills Beam's parents, who both love kids. Because the house will already be full of grandchildren, Beam said everyone would mesh really well.
>> LAWRENCE
"The only thing I'm worried about is my Dad's talking," he said.
"He talks a lot, and sometimes it is inappropriate."
Other than that, Beam said his girlfriend was looking forward to spending time with his family, and they with her.

Top 10 options for students who can't go home for the holidays
1 Instead of relying on frozen dinners and ramen noodles for nourishment, make a home-cooked meal for yourself and a few friends or neighbors. Record a cookbook show on the Food Network, go grocery shopping for the ingredients and prepare the entire meal yourself.
2
2. Avoid daylong marathons of reality TV shows by tackling a few difficult books. Check out a number of classics from the library, cozy up with a mug of hot chocolate and start reading.
3. Volunteer to aid those less fortunate in the Lawrence community. Soup kitchens such as Jubilee Café, 946 Vermont St., will allow you to help the needy by giving your time — not your money.
4. Brace yourself for a semester of hard work by spending a day relaxing. Pick your three favorite holiday movies, prepare snacks and watch each movie back-to-back.
5. Start the new year with a productive attitude by taking on a new project. Rearrange your furniture to make your bedroom more livable, buy a houseplant, create a photo album or learn how to build a chair or a coffee table.
7. Spend your money wisely by

6. Use your free time to get organized. Go through your closet to identify clothes you no longer wear, and choose a worthy charity to donate them to. Are there any cans of green beans or jars of spaghetti sauce in your cupboard that you know you will never eat? Put them in a box and donate them to the Harvesters Community Food Network, 3801 Topping Ave., Kansas City, Mo.

8. Add a bit of greenery to your room. Buy a packet or two of seeds and a pair of flowerpots. Follow directions on how to plant the seeds and how much to water them. Keep them in your study area or give them as gifts for the holidays.

9. As an alternative to sappy holiday cards, send letters to grandparents, cousins or your old high school
classmates. Letters may be some-what old-fashioned, but taking the time to write and mail them will show your friends and family how much you care.
10. It is easy to lose touch of current events when your days consist mostly of relaxation, but make sure to stay informed about global and local news. Read your favorite newspaper online, and make an effort to watch the news on television every day.

TALKIN' ABOUT PRACTICE
Kansas players have received a major respite from the rigors of practice since their final regular season game on Nov. 24. The Jayhawks took part in their first

weekend but has not worked anything out beyond Sunday. Coach Mark Mangino said he would sit down with Director of Football Operations George Matsakis to lay out a practice schedule for the rest of the month.
17,500 TICKETS TO KU

bid and that the Orange Bowl generally reserves about 17,500 seats for each team.
EXTENDED VISIT
Mangino and his Jayhawks officially received their invitation to the Orange Bowl on Monday. Vance Carlton of the Orange Bowl committee visited the University to extend the formal invite and is staying for the rest of the week. Carlton said he could feel the excitement and anticipation in his first day at Kansas Athletics' facilities and that he thought the Jayhawks were a good fit for the Orange Bowl because they lost only one game.
MORE TICKET INFO
Carlton confirmed that Kansas and Virginia Tech had each been allotted 17,500 of the 75,000 seats in Dolphin Stadium. Including the tickets given to each school, the Orange Bowl has sold 70,000 tickets as of Monday. Of the tickets remaining after the schools take their share, previous Orange Bowl ticket holders receive 35,000, and 5,000 are made available for public sale. Bowl officials said the South Florida area has enjoyed a more than $200 million economic boost during the past four years because of the event.

FOOTBALL REPORT CARD
Subject
Todd Reesing flourished in his first full season as a starter. Only a sophomore, Reesing broke school passing records left and right and finished the regular season with the nation's 12th-best passing efficiency mark. Reesing was the subject of a segment on ESPN's "College GameDay" and was squarely in the Heisman hunt before Kansas' loss to Missouri put a damper on his momentum. His improvisational skills outside the pocket and uncanny ability to evade tacklers made for some SportsCenter-worthy highlights, and his 32-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio earned him a spot on the All-Big 12 second team.
One of the reasons Kansas' undersized, gun-slinging quarterback put up such staggering numbers was the quality of the receivers. Senior Marc Henry emerged as one of the Big 12 conference's most dangerous deep threats, junior Dexton Fields became a sure-handed master of the screen pass and freshman Dezmian Boeisco caught seven touchdown passes and hinted at a bright future. Senior tight end Derek Fine played the role of sturdy tight end, never playing with flash but always playing well, and sophomore Kerry Meier became the Jayhawks' most consistent receiver, snaring 24 receptions.

Heading into the season, one of the Jayhawks' most glaring areas of concern was replacing star running back Jon Cornish. Though senior Brandon McAnderson rarely showed the ability to serve as a feature back in his first three seasons, he broke out for 1,050 rushing yards in 2007 and stepped into Cornish's role with ease. Sophomore Jake Sharp averaged 5.7 yards per carry and provided a nice change-of-pace option, and sophomore Angus Quigley displayed potential in several late-game auditions.

The offensive line, which lost three starters to graduation in the offseason, turned from a question mark to one of the team's strongest units. Junior tackle Anthony Collins is a finalist for the Outland Trophy and senior tackle Cesar Rodriguez earned All-Big 12 honorable mention status. The interior linemen — all first-year starters — proved themselves worthy of starting spots and helped the Jayhawks average five yards per carry and nearly 200 yards per game on the ground.
A
Until injuries tempered his production late in the season, senior defensive tackle James McClinton was consistently the best performer on the Kansas defense. The All-Big 12 first team selection made 38 tackles and had 2.5 sacks, all while drawing double teams that made life easier for the rest of the Jayhawk defensive linemen. Despite McClinton's dominance, Kansas defensive ends John Larson and Russell Brorsen struggled to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks — most notably against Missouri. Because of McClinton's ability to squeeze his way through double teams to find the ballcarrier, the Jayhawks have allowed just 91 rushing yards per game.
Aa4n
The Jayhawks had all the right pieces at linebacker in 2006 but rarely displayed consistency at the position. Turns out the trick was putting those pieces in the right places to be productive. Junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera swapped positions before the season and benefited immediately from the shift. Mortensen is about to break the 100-tackle mark and Rivera became one of the Big 12's most feared heavy-hitters. Junior outside linebacker James Holt could be the least-hyped of the bunch, but he proved his worth as a fleet-footed tackling machine by the end of the season.
49
Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is a special player. But Kansas' 119th-place 2006 pass defense proved one special player do secondary make. Kansas added a few steady players around Talib in 2007 and enjoyed a much more productive season in pass coverage. Freshman cornerback Chris Harris earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors for his tackling skills, junior cornerback Kendrick Harper played well when he was healthy and sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey returned from an injury last season to become one of the Big 12's most consistent defenders. The Jayhawks most improved player may be sophomore safety Justin Thornton. Thornton had trouble as a starter last year but tied Talib for the team lead in interceptions with four this season.
A
Junior kick returner Marcus Herford enjoyed an outstanding season, winning the All- Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year award and finishing eighth in the nation in yards per kick return. Unfortunately for Kansas, the rest of the special teams play wasn't nearly as strong. Senior kicker Scott Webb showed decent accuracy most of the season (71 percent) but wilted under the pressure of the national spotlight, missing two field goals against Missouri. Senior punter Kyle Tucker's performance was uneven at best; backup quarterback and wide receiver Kerry Meier replaced him as punter on four occasions. Punt returns were nightmarish for the Jayhawks in 2007. After sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton inexplicably forgot how to field punts at midseason, sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb took his job and didn't fare any better, averaging less than one yard per return.

in his five years with the Jayhawks, and 2007 was no different. Young made the necessary adjustments to vault his defense into the upper echelon of the conference and the nation.
ansas coach Mark Mangino has done wonders for his resume during the last four months: In August, the there were whispers in the media about his lack of job security. At the end of November he was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. Mangino has done an excellent job keeping his players grounded despite their meteoric rise to the top of the college football ranks. He kept the team focused on "saving wood" all season. Along with Mangino, Kansas' coordinators deserve quite a bit of credit for the 11-1 regular season. Offensive coordinator Ed Warner put together a banner year in his first at Kansas, designing and running the sixth-best offense in the country. Defensive coordinator Bill Young has never fielded a poor defensive unit years with the Jayhaws, and 2007 was no different. Young made the necessary personnel and scheme

Teahan brings style to traditionally ugly mop-up minutes
The last few minutes of a blowout can often be a tedious, sloppy display of floor burns, bobbled rebounds and hurried shots that zoom several feet away from the rim.
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
Not when Conner Teahan plays for your team.
Teahan, a walk-on freshman guard, has added flavor to mop-up time this season with his sweet outside stroke. He's made an absurd eight for 10 three-pointers in limited minutes and has made three in a game on two occasions.
Freshman center Cole Aldrich is never surprised when he sees a Teahan shot rotate perfectly out of his hands and into the net.
"He's a real pure shooter," Aldrich said. "We know that if we get the ball inside and his guy digs on us, we can kick it out and he's going to hit it. It's real fun playing with him because we know he's going to hit that shot."
Years and years of practice helped that shot develop. Whenever Teahan felt stressed
from school or just wanted to escape for awhile, hed step outside to the half-court in the backyard of his Leawood home. There, he spent many nights homing his shot and playing against his older brother, Kyle.
The shot made him a good high school player, but he didn't become a big Division I prospect until later in his career when he added more to his game. Teahan started to use his 6-foot-5, hardened-by-four-years-of-football frame to back down opponents and develop inside moves. He became a legitimate inside and outside threat.
"I always liked shooting the three just because it becomes a huge deal in games to make three-pointers, so I always used to work on it," Teahan said. "I feel like I can shoot it from anywhere."
Kyle was four years older and several inches taller than Teahan. Teahan's best way to challenge his brother? Shoot from the outside.
During his senior year at Rockhurst High School, Teahan averaged 25 points and eight rebounds per game while leading his team to a state runner-up in Missouri. He was named the Missouri Gatorade Player of the
Year for the second straight season and won the DiRenna Award, an award given to the top basketball player in Kansas City.
Area schools such as Wichita State, Kansas State and Missouri showed interest in Teahan, but Teahan had been a KU fan all his life. The choice was easy. He wanted to walk on at Kansas.
"I've always watched KU and loved KU since I was a little kid" he said shortly after he made his decision. "They made me feel like I was welcome and could be a contributor down the road."
Teahan said he worked on his shot 10 times harder than he ever had while preparing for his freshman season. As well as he's been shooting the ball this year, Teahan has only been playing toward the end of blow-outs. He didn't play a minute in big games against Arizona and Southern California.
To get consistent playing time, Teahan said he needed to add more to his all-around game. He said he had been working hard on his defense and ballhandling. Even if Teahan's game improves significantly, Kansas coach Bill Self said it was unlikely Teahan's role will
Teahan's time will likely come in the future. Self said Teahan would almost definitely be in the rotation in the coming years.
For now, fans will have to settle with enjoying the beauty of Teahan's shot during the end of blowouts.
“it's one of those things where I want to do what's best for the team and that probably means playing those guys,” Teahan said.
increase too much because of the depth at the guard position. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart, junior guard Mario Chalmers, junior guard Brandon Rush, sophomore guard Sherron Collins and freshman guard Tyrel Reed, when they're healthy, all play ahead of him. That's fine with Teahan.
"When the ball leaves his hand," Self said, "it looks as good as anybody in our program."
Conner Teahan's smooth shot garnered attention from a few Division schools, but he only wanted to show it off at Kansas. The guard, regulated to cleanup duty so far this season, has hit eight of 10 three-point shots.

Denver running back Hall plans to return to practice
That's good enough for him. Hall plans to return to practice this week in hopes of playing
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncs running back Andre Hall can walk on his sprained ankle without pain or a limp.
Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hall suffered a high ankle sprain on the first play against Chicago but played on, gaining 98 vards and scoring a touchdown.
"I'm feeling pretty good. I'm going to give it a go," he said.
However, Hall hobbled around on the gimpy ankle all last week and was inactive for Denver's 34-20 loss to Oakland on Sunday.
The Broncos could certainly use even a quasi-healthy Hall. Denver was thin at running back against the Raiders after Selvin Young left the game with a bruised arm.
Denver was forced to give more carries to Travis Henry, who was back after missing three games with a torn ligament in his left knee.

things you should know about VIRGINIA TECH
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
The Orange Bowl features No. 5 Virginia Tech, an unfamiliar opponent for Kansas, which has a month to learn the Hokies' strengths and weaknesses.

Junior Sean Glennon is a pure pocket passer.
possessions throughout the game. Taylor is one of the nation's most athletic quarterbacks and is comparable with former Virginia Tech quarterback standouts Michael and Marcus Vick. He has rushed for more than four yards per carry and six touchdowns this season.
The two quarterbacks
completing only two of 10 passes.
But Glennon has won the starting job back, and he threw for 174 yards and three touchdowns in last week's ACC Championship Game. Glennon is a pure pocket-passer who could be dangerous if he gets into a rhythm. Freshman Tyrod Taylor relieves him on select
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer
For the first time this season, Kansas will be forced to prepare for two different quarterbacks on the same team. Junior Sean Glennon starts for the Hokies, but his play has been as unpredictable as a winter thunderstorm in Kansas. He was benched during the second game of the year after
The losses
Virginia Tech won the ACC with an 11-2 record. But most of the nation remembers the Hokies' two defeats much more than any of the victories. Their first loss came in Baton Rouge, La., when LSU thrashed them 48-7. The LSU running game demolished the Hokies' heralded defense, and Virginia Tech gained only 149 yards of total offense.
Virginia Tech won five straight after the fiasco, until it suffered a fourth-quarter melted against Boston College at the end of October. The Hokies shut out the Eagles for the first 57 minutes of the game, but Boston College's Matt Ryan engineered two late touchdown drives to put away Virginia Tech 14-10.

Its special teams
alone, the Hokies returned an interception for a touchdown and blocked two kicks, as well as an extra point, which they returned for two points. They rank ninth in the nation this season with a plus-13 turnover margin and are always a threat to block opponents' kicks. The one area of concern for the Jayhawks all season has been their woful special teams production. And if they don't fix it by Jan. 3, the Hokies will surely exploit it.

Adibi leads the Hokies with 108 tackles on the season and was named an All-American this week. Hall has missed four games this season because of an injury but is still the team's second leading tackler and a lethal blitzing weapon. Virginia Tech also has a strong secondary featuring All-American cornerback Brandon Flowers and cornerback Kam Chancellor. They both serve as enforcers and hammer wide receivers over the middle.
Kansas might need a few extra bottles of Advil in its medicine kit in Miami because the Virginia Tech defense prides itself on serving headache-inducing tackles. It all starts with senior linebackers Xavier Adibi and Vince Hall. Adibi

A funny thing happened to coach Ray Bechard after his volleyball team closed out its season with a 3-0 victory against Texas Tech on Nov. 21. Bechard watched as Iowa State, Michigan State, Oregon, Nebraska and Texas advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
Those teams accounted for eight of Kansas' 17 losses, and Kansas was three points away from taking a 3-2 victory against Iowa State on Nov. 17. Yep, Bechard started to feel pretty good about his team.
"I think sometimes it looks like there is a big gap when really we're not that far away," Bechard said. "Bottom line is we had some matches we really needed to close that we didn't."
But Bechard said he was excited about the way his team finished the season.
Bechard said his team would now be focused on offseason workouts. Volleyball players can practice individually eight hours a week with the Kansas coaching staff.
Kansas won three of its last six matches, including victories against No. 18 Oklahoma, at Colorado and at Texas Tech.
"Now we can really break some things down individually," Bechard said.
One thing Kansas will need to work on is its team offense. The Jayhawks were second to last in the Big 12 with a .184 team hitting percentage. Beachard said the key to improving was getting in the gym and getting repetitions.
BRITTANY WILLIAMS'
RETURN
Those six weeks will be crucial for a team that loses two seniors, Emily Brown
Beginning in March and April, the team has a six-week training session, where the players can be together for 20 hours a week.
Bechard said no timetable existed for the return of sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams.
"Bottom line is we had some crucial matches that we really needed to close that we didn't."

Behind a prolific career is an inexhaustible athlete. Cast in a shadow of accolades stands senior cross country runner Colby Wissel.
A. M. P. A. S. S.
In his tenure at Kansas, Wissel has accomplished feats that have not been touched since the 1950s. One of those was becoming an All-American for the second straight year. But despite becoming the fifth runner in lajayh history to be christened a back-to-back All-American, Wissel has remained the same down-to-earth Nebraska native who loves read
Wissel
ing and David Bowie.
"I am a big reader and spend a lot of time reading." Wissel said. "I also like hanging out with my dogs and relaxing with my friends."
When most athletes reach the height of their success, they credit the most influential person in their life. Wissel's rattles off his response almost as fast as the times he posted.
"My dad," Wissel said. "I was always around him as a kid because he was a high school coach. He has had such an influence on my life, while not just helping me in sports but also growing as a person. I owe him a lot."
So, for the seemingly average student-athlete, the seemingly Herculean course times and numerous awards are the reasons he'll be remembered.
Wissel's career
— Two-year All-American
— Big 12 Champion
— All-Region (3 times)
— All-Conference (3 times)
— Kansas State Invitational champion (3 times)
— Bob Timmons Invitational champion (3 times)
— Academic All-Big 12 sec-
Academic All-Big 12 second team
"I can't whistle," he said.
Wissel shredded the KU record book and his future is bright. He said he would like to continue running and following his dreams, but he has a backup plan. For Wissel, an accounting major, if the future does not hold a running career, it does hold a future in athletics.
But with all the things Wissel can do, one of his flaws may surprise people.
"I would like to get an athletics job." Wissel said. "Whether that is with the Athletics Department or not, I would like to stay involved and active with athletics."
For students and fans who haven't had the opportunity to watch Wissel compete, there is still time. This spring, Wissel will run indoor track and then track and field, and his opportunity to wear red, white and blue for his country on the world's biggest stage may be approaching.

Baltimore Ravens defender Chris McAlister, right, breaks up a pass intended for New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss during the first half midnight on July 15. The Patriots struggled against Baltimore for much of the game, but a late touchdown drive clinched the game for New England.
Patriots stay undefeated after tough 27-24 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — The New England Patriots are still perfect, but looking mighty vulnerable.
New England pulled off its greatest escape thus far to become the sixth team in NFL history to start a season with 12 victories. For the second straight week, it was a struggle against a losing team, but the incredibly resourceful Patriots got Tom Brady's 8-yard touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds.
left to beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-24 Monday night.
The winning drive in the final minutes covered 73 yards and required two fourth-down conversions, one on a defensive holding penalty 6 seconds before Gaffney beat Dawan Landry in the left corner of the end zone.
Driven to distraction by a Baltimore defense at times reminiscent of the 2000 unit that led the Ravens (4-8) to a Super Bowl victory, Brady came through late — as he always seems to.
. . .
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Eight days after edging Philadelphia 31-28, the Patriots barely kept alive their pursuit of the only unblemished record in NFL history. Miami's 17-0 in 1972.
With Pittsburgh (9-3) up next, the Patriots must recapture some of their record-setting ways from earlier in the season to keep their flawless record intact.

As the biggest road favorite in a non-replacement game (19 points), the Patriots nearly laid a dud in swirling winds and occasional snow flurries. They trailed for much of the game, but Brady relentlessly guided them downfield for the winning score and his 41st touchdown pass of the season. He's eight short of Peyton Manning's record with four games left.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Drew Darling stiff arms the New England Patriots' Brandon Merion after catching a pass during the first half Baltimore in.
And New England is four wins shy of the only 16-0 regular season ever. Remaining after the Steelers are the weak Dolphins and Jets, and a Saturday-night visit to the New York Giants.
That the Ravens, losers of five straight, would test the Patriots so severely was stunning. Indeed, if not for intuitely penalties and a fumble of an interception return by Ed Reed, the Ravens might have pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NFL history.
Baltimore got a brilliant effort from Willis McGaehe, who rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown. Boller threw for two scores, and the Ravens managed three sacks.
But they couldnt manage to hang on.
Take a break.

Near-campus bar has rich history
Locale has served soldiers, hippies, students
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
A beer-pong table sat in the corner, unused Tuesday night at the Crossing. The dart board was left alone, too. Out back, two KU students and two of their friends sat on a leather couch drinking beers and smoking cigarettes. The only sign of life inside came from the two bartenders watching the Kansas State, Notre Dame basketball game on TV.
Soon, the bar will be emptier than it was early Tuesday night. The Crossing is scheduled to close forever Dec. 20, although management said there was a possibility it could remain open in the spring, and would likely be demolished soon after.
The look and name have changed throughout the years, but the building now known as the Crossing has been a part of Lawrence since the 1920s. From a cafeteria for soldiers in the 1930s and 40s to a hangout for hippies in the '60s and '70s to a lad-back, pre-game drinking establishment today, the Crossing is a major part of the University's history.

A PLACE FOR THE SOLDIERS
"You had fraternity guys with the left-wingers, and everybody got along just fine."
The Rock Chalk Café was open most
The earliest map on which a building is listed at the property of the Crossing comes from 1927. The name and use of the structure was unknown, but Zach Ingalls, a Lansing sophomore, works at the Watkins Museum at 1047 Massachusetts St., and has researched the history of the building, said it was used for commercial purposes.
By the 1930s, its use and name were clear. The building was called the Rock Chalk Cafe, and its primary business was serving food.
"It was kind of like a cafeteria for students." Ingalls said.
of the day and served delicacies such as the tomato and mayonnaise sandwich, 35-cent T-bone dinners, waffles and even 25-cent banana splits.
The Rock Chalk Café also catered to soldiers who lived in nearby military barracks shortly before and after World War II. Menus were specially designed to feed them. One menu from 1937 includes the caption "Troops Still on Garrison Ration" at the top. Then, it fists a pork and beans dinner made for 100 men.
As the years went by, Rock Chalk Café transformed from a place for the soldiers to a place for those who would burn draft cards so they would never become soldiers.

HIPPIE HAPPENINGS
The year of 1970 brought more turmoil to the KU campus than any year had before or has since. Protests calling for black rights and the end of war in Vietnam led to shooting deaths, the burning of the Kansas Union and fire bombings. Chancellor Laurence Chalmers gave students the option of finishing the spring
semester early to join a political activity.
Gabriel Casner,
a Kansas City, Kan',
graduate student,
said the crowds who
incited those protests
often hung out at The
Rock Chalk Café and
the original Gaslight
Tavern, which was
located where the
Kansas Union parking garage stands today. Two of the biggest "hippie groups" were the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers and the Lawrence Liberation Front. They ate, drank and smoked marijuana at the Rock Chalk Café.
According to the book "This is America? The Sixties in Lawrence, Kansas," a large protest took place outside of the Rock Chalk Café in July of 1970 after Tiger Dowdell, a member of the Black Student Union, was shot and killed by police. Another KU student, Nick Rice, was shot and killed during the protest.
"That's a period of time the University doesn't look too kindly on," Casner said. "It's kind of a black eye."
The Rock Chalk Café wasn't just a hangout for hippies in the 60s and 70s. Other students went there to enjoy $1 pitchers, 25-cent draughts and free popcorn.
John Geer, a 1970 Kansas graduate, lived next door to The Crossing at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house (Hawk's Pointe III is there now). After study hours every night, Geer said his fraternity

Hate crime pushes vote
Student Senate will vote tonight on whether to pass legislation in which it will formally take a stand against hate crimes.
The legislation is in response to a recent incident at Alpha Epsilon Pi, a fraternity comprised of Jewish men.
On the morning of Nov. 10, several fraternity members left the house to find that the fraternity letters in their front lawn had been vandalized overnight with anti-Semitic terms.
Jason Oruch, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi and a student senator, wrote the legislation. He said he hoped it would bring awareness to the incident and other hate crimes on campus.

Saralyn Reece Hardy
PETER J. BROWN
Hardy
BY ALLISON WILLIS
Saralyn Reece Hardy, an alumna of the University of Kansas, enjoys sharing her love of art with others as the director of the Spencer Museum of Art. As director ,Hardy is responsible for the overall direction of the museum, which includes exhibitions of collections, research activities and overseeing programs.
Hardy graduated from the University with a bachelor's and master's degree. The director position was not Hardy's first job at the museum. After graduating
she worked on a grant designed to explore human values in an art museum. It was that experience that led her to pursue work with art museums to establish connections between art and what people care about.
Hardy said it was important for art museums to be located on university campuses because museums have educational potential.
"I love the idea that students are wandering through the building and all the possibilities that come with working with students," she said.
Hardy said being an art director offered intriguing experiences and the element of surprise that kept her life interesting.
"I don't think of myself as an artist," she said. "I think of myself someone who likes to bring things together. I especially enjoy drawing that creative impulse out in others, and although I am not an artist I do believe the core of my work is very creative."
She said she considered the new
20/21 gallery in the museum as one of her favorites.
"It is experimental and we think of it as a kind of studio, lab, or testing ground for new ideas," she said.
She said her ultimate goal for the future of the museum was for every student to view the museum as a place to come for inspiration and reflection.
After first working for the Spencer Art Museum, Hardy moved to Salina to develop its contemporary art center. She also worked for the National Endowment for the Arts, NEA, in Washington, D.C. as the director of museums and visual arts before returning to the University.
Hardy received several awards throughout her professional career. These awards include the Kansas Governor's Art Award for arts advocates in 1995, and the NEAs Distinguished Service Award in 2001.

FLAG POND, Tenn. — Authorities are on the lookout for a Grinch who stole the tops off more than two dozen Christmas trees from Danny Tipton's farm.
The thief or thieves raided the farm in eastern Tennessee sometime between Nov. 24 and last
week and top the top off the Fraser firs that were 10 to 12 feet tall.
Tipton grows the taller trees for use in businesses, churches and homes with high ceilings and they usually sell for about $100 each.
"It's like the Grinch stealing Christmas trees," Sheriff Kent Harris said.
The culprit sawed the top six feet off about 28 trees and hauled them off the property, probably to sell off for use in smaller homes.
Tipton estimates they would get about $15 to $20 each.
"It's a very low person who commits such a crime as this at Christmastime," Sheriff's Maj. Ronnie Adkins said.
Tipton still has about 6,000 trees growing on his farm near the North Carolina border, but they are in various stages of maturity. The pilfered firs were ready for sale when they were taken sometime last week.
"I had gone to harvest the trees," Tipton said. "That's when I noticed there had been somebody in there cutting them. (It was) sort of disbelief. I couldn't believe anybody would go to the extremes they went to get them."
Authorities have a description of a vehicle, but a lack of evidence may hinder catching the Grinch.

odd news
Cartoon characters called into Italian court
ROME — Tweety may get a chance to take the witness stand and sing like a canary.
An Italian court ordered the animated bird, along with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and his girlfriend Daisy, to testify in a counterfeiting case.
In what lawyers believe was a clerical error worthy of a Looney Tunes cartoon, a court in Naples sent a summons to the characters ordering them to appear Friday in a trial in the southern Italian city. officials said.
Instead of naming only the companies and their legal representatives, clerks also wrote in the witness list the names of the cartoons that decorated the toys and gadgets the man had reproduced, said Fiorenza Sorotto, vice president of Disney Company Italia.
The court summons cites Titti, Paperino, Paperina, Topolino — the Italian names for the characters — as damaged parties in the criminal trial of a Chinese man accused of counterfeiting products of Disney and Warner Bros.
"Unfortunately they cannot show up, as they are residents of Disneyland," Sorotto joked in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It certainly pleased us that the characters were considered real, because that's what we try to do."
The Naples court will have to rewrite the summons, although this will probably delay the trial, said Disney lawyer Cristina Ravelli.
"Let's hope the characters will not be prosecuted for failing to appear." Ravelli quipped.
Calls seeking comment from Warner Bros. in Milan were not immediately returned. Phones at the Naples court were not answered Tuesday.

Deadweek, grades among issues for next semester
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
As University students prepare for finals, Student Senate is ready for midterms. Student Body President Hannah Love and Vice-president Ray Wittlinger won elections last spring as part of the United Students coalition and have worked this semester with a Delta Force majority in the Student Senate. Below is a summary of where Love and Wittlinger are on their platform issues, including academic policies, parking issues, campus safety, technology and a green campus, as well as other large tasks that Student Senate has dealt with thus far in during their administration.
DEADWEEK
---
In the spring, Love and Wittlinger said that they would work to implement a real "dead week," during which professors would be prohibited from giving assignments or tests, into the University's calendar. Love completed the research necessary for this issue and wrote a proposal several months ago, but said that she had not presented it because the calendar committee was deciding whether even having a single stop day was necessary. She said she would wait until the calendar
committee, a group under University Governance, made a decision about stop day before they presented legislation about dead week.
Barbara Phipps, associate professor in the School of Education and chair of the calendar committee, said that she had not been presented with information about implementing a dead week.
"A"GUARANTEE
Another academic issue under Love and Wittlinger's platform is allowing an "A" guarantee for students who take classes pass/fail but earn an "A"
Love said that she had not presented this legislation because University Governance did not pass legislation that would have changed the pass/fail system from making an "A" - "C" passing to an "A" - "D" passing.
She said that she would work on this more next semester.
赞
CAMPUS SAFETY
Wittlinger said that he and Love worked to restructure the Campus Safety Advisory Board to allow for
more people and more representation of female safety issues. This included adding representatives from the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and Panhellenic. He said that he charged the board with looking into putting more cameras and lighting on campus and said he and Love would meet with them either before the end of the semester or at the beginning of next semester.
Wittlinger said that if the board wasn't in the process of putting more cameras and lights on campus during their meeting, he and Love would take the issue to full Senate next semester.
RECREATION CENTER
PARKING
+
Love and Wittinger promised to open parking spots at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center to students who did not have yellow permits. The plan will be implanted by the time KU students come back to school in January.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said earlier this semester that Wittlinger had communicated several times with her and the Parking Commission, and the two will continue to oversee and deal
Hultine and Wittlinger are currently in the process of buying signs to put in the front of the Center where the parking spots will be. Hultine said that after this happens, the spots would be open.
with any problems once the parking permits are in place.
TECHNOLOGY
Love said that she was especially excited about this issue because she felt that if the administration was convinced more technology — such as projectors and computers — was necessary, then it will be provided to students.
Love spoke at the Technology Convocation earlier this semester and said that she was questioned by several administrators whether technology is necessary to enhance education at the University. She said that in order to prove to educators that it was necessary, she is putting together a poll to ask students whether it's something that they want.
She said that she would poll students next semester and would deliver the results to administrators.
不满意
GREEN CAMPUS
Love and Wittlinger said that they
would work to improve campus environmental issues, including adding recycling bins in the Park and Ride lot. Both Love and Wittlinger said that they delegated this issue to the Campus Environmental Advisory Board and were unsure what the board was doing about the issue.
ZERO-TOLERANCE FILE
thumbs up
SHARING
Although this issue is not one of Love and Wittinger's platforms, it was an issue that Student Senate as a whole has worked on this semester.
Executive Committee Chair Adam McGonigle wrote legislation at the beginning of the semester that, if it had passed, would have asked KU administration to re-evaluate the policy. McGonigle pulled the bill because Vice Provost of Student Success Marlesa Roney said she would work with the Student Senate to examine the policy.
On Oct. 24, the student rights committee presented similar legislation and, after Love said she would veto the bill, created a task force to
look at the issue.
Student Senate has also followed through on issues that started in previous administrations, including the unveiling of the new Multicultural Resource Center and doing publicity for the four-year tuition compact and the advising survey.
The Kansan has reported throughout the semester that more than a dozen senators have either been dismissed for lack of attendance or resigned from Senate, but Wittlinger said that this is a trend in Senate every year.
"It would be irresponsible for anyone to say this is because of our leadership." Wittlinger said.
Jack Connor, holdover senator,
said that he would like to see more
accountability within Senate and
hoped for more communication.
Connor said that he thought Austin Kelly and Alex Porte, student body treasurer and assistant treasurer, respectively, were doing a good job of fiscal responsibility.
Student Senate ran out of money last year.
Love said that she planned to increase communication between Senate and students next semester.
Wittlinger said that Student Senate would continue to work towards its platforms throughout next semester.
"A lot of them are bold and they're challenging, but we're putting in a lot of work," Wittlinger said.

Former Democratic fundraiser indicted in phony investment scheme
BY LARRY NEUMEISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a top Democratic fundraiser accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the money for illegal donations to political candidates such as Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In the 15-count indictment, the government accused Norman Hsu, a 56-year-old clothing-industry entrepreneur, of duping investors nationwide with a massive Ponzi scheme.
The government said Hsu also violated federal campaign-finance laws by making contributions to various political candidates in the names of others. A message left with a lawyer for Hsu was not immediately
returned.
Hsu was once a valued supporter of Clinton, raising more than $1.2 million for her and other Democratic candidates in recent years. He turned into a scandal when it was revealed he had been hiding from the law in plain sight.
He had been wanted in California since 1992, when he fled after pleading no contest to grand theft charges
in a fraudulent clothing import business. He posted $2 million bail in August, and his lawyer said his fugitive status was just a misunderstanding. But Hsu missed a court date Sept. 5, fled by train and was arrested at a Colorado hospital after attempting suicide.
more than $800,000 to donors whose contributions were linked to him.
Hsu's work on Clinton's behalf has been an embarrassment for her presidential campaign, which has returned
The indictment said Hsu from 2000 through August 2007 convinced his victims to invest at least $60 million in companies that supposedly extended short-term financing to businesses.
Hsu faces six counts of mail fraud, six counts of wire fraud and three counts of violating the Federal
Election Campaign Act.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison on each of the fraud charges, and five years on each of the federal campaign-finance charges. He also could face millions of dollars in fines.
Hsu is in custody in California on unrelated charges and was expected to appear in federal court in Manhattan in several weeks, prosecutors said.

CAMPUS LIFE
Crossing draws to close
BY SARAH NEFF
sneff@kansan.com
sneff@kansan.com
The Crossing plans to close its doors Dec. 20, maybe forever, depending on a decision that is scheduled to be made by the Lawrence City Commission in January.
Carly Louison, Sharon, Mass. sophomore, said she remembered going to The Crossing with her new friends from her residence hall the first week of school her freshman year. She said her roommate had been pledging for a sorority. When she dropped out of sorority recruitment, she went to The Crossing with Louison to defy the "no bars, no booze, no boys" rule she had to follow as a pledge.
Louison said she and her roommate had become best friends after that, and they are still roommates.
"I mostly like The Crossing because you can meet up with friends after class. It's convenient and it has a laid-back atmosphere,"
Louison said. "I think it really sucks that it's closing."
Louison said she and her friends would have to find another place to spend their free time. She said her sister was thinking of attending the University of Kansas, and Louison said she was sad that she wouldn't be able to take her to the favorie hangout.
Keri Lightle, former KU student, said she frequented The Crossing when she was a student at the University.
"It was one of my favorite places to go." Lightte said, "especially when it was nice outside, because you got to sit outside and have an amazing view of campus."
She said she and her friends enjoyed being able to drink so close to campus, and usually started there on Thursday nights because The Crossing had a pitcher special. Lightle, who works in Shawnee now, said she visited The Crossing at the last home football game.
"I loved that bar and am very
disappointed to hear about it closing" Lightle said.

brothers would run to Rock Chalk Cafe to drink a beer and order a cheeseburger or dump truck, a platter of fried ground beef, onions, hashbrowns and cheese mixed together.
HISTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Although Geer said his fraternity was usually the only Greek organization that ever joined the hippies at the Rock Chalk, the two groups blended together like the ingredients of the dump truck.
ROCK CHALK CARE
Civil Rights and Vietnam War protests were held at the Crossing, which used to be called the Rock Chalk Cafe. Some of the protests turned violent and ended in students' deaths.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"There wasn't ever any tension between the two groups." Geer said. "You had the fraternity guys with the left-wingers, and everybody got along just fine."
A MODERN ERA
According to the Oread Daily, an underground daily newspaper in Lawrence in the 70s, Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller ordered Rock Chalk Café to be closed in the mid-'70s because of all the protests associated with the bar. During the next few years, the building changed owners several times and continued to be a bar and restaurant. In the 1980s, it became Hawk's Crossing and finally the Crossing as its known today.
The Crossing is best known for its Stop Day eve parties and as a place to drink, hang out and play beer pong before going to other bars. Paige Crosswhite, Louisburg sophomore, Mo Primdahl, Chicago freshman, and their two friends James Korgie and Taylor Thorup were the only four people there
Tuesday night at about 8. They go to the Crossing to "pre-game" on weekends and because of its location.
"It's available," Crosswhite said,
"You can easily walk to it."
Thomas Fritzel, a Lawrence developer, recently purchased the Crossing and has planned to tear it down to build Oread Inn, a seven-story hotel. The proposal for Oread Inn still needs to be approved by the City Commission, but city commissioners expressed approval for the idea and wanted to study it more before making a decision.
"It just has the true college atmosphere," Ingalls said. "It's something college students would remember when they graduated. If you take that away, what are they going to reminisce about?"
If and when that happens, it will mark the end of a building that has been a part of Lawrence for more than 75 years. Hippies, soldiers and today's students have all enjoyed the establishment, either as the Rock Chalk Café or the Crossing, and it will be missed.

Campus hate crime leads to legislation
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
On Saturday, Nov. 10, Jason Oruch left his fraternity house with friends to camp for an upcoming basketball game. While leaving the house, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Oruch and his friends noticed that the fraternity letters on the lawn outside of the house had been vandalized.
"Fuck you, Jew!"
"Ass!"
"It was pretty shocking," Oruch said. "I was kind of in disbelief. It was upsetting."
Oruch said that he and other fraternity members called the Lawrence police, which took a report and told the members it was a hate crime.
Oruch, Plano, Texas, junior, said that he and his friends worked to paint over the anti-semitic words
Barak Krengel, Dallas junior, said that he called a local Hillel organization and a Rabbi to inform them of the incident.

a stand against hate crimes on campus.
"I think Senate should come together to take a stance and say 'we're against this,' Oruch said.
Krengel said that at about 2 a.m., on Nov. 10, two freshman members of the fraternity were harrassed and followed by two people they did not know, who called them names such as "dumb Jew." Oruch and others later found the vandalized property. They said they did not know who followed the freshmen or who vandalized the letters.
Krengel said that there had never been a similar incident at the fraternity house.
"I was offended," Krengel said. "We were really pissed off. It's someone desecrating our property."
He also said that he thought the legislation was a good step toward overcoming the event.
Student Senate meets tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Dole Institute of Politics.
"I hope that it passes and people become aware of it."

Blogging leads to arrest
BY RYAN J. FOLEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Bloggers and free speech advocates are calling on prosecutors not to file charges against a teacher arrested for allegedly posting an anonymous comment online praising the Columbine shooters.
Some were disturbed by the post police say James Buss left on a conservative blog, but other observers said it was a sarcastic attempt to discredit critics of education spending.
The suburban Milwaukee high school chemistry teacher was arrested last week for the Nov. 16 comment left on www.bootsandsabers.com, a blog on Wisconsin politics. The comment, left under the name "Observer," came during a discussion over teacher salaries after some commenters complained teachers were underworked and overpaid.
Buss, a former president of the teacher's union, allegedly wrote that teacher salaries made him sick because they are lazy and work only five hours a day. He praised the teen gunmen who killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide in the April 1999 attack at Columbine High School.
"They knew how to deal with
the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time!" he wrote, adding they should be remembered as heroes.
The comment disturbed at least one teacher, who called police in West Bend, 40 miles north of Milwaukee and home of the blog's administrator. Police traveled to arrest Buss at his home in Cudahy, south of Milwaukee, last week after the blogger gave them the anonymous poster's IP address.
After his arrest, Buss spent an hour in the Washington County jail before he was released on $350 bail. He did not return phone messages and e-mails seeking comment, and it was unclear whether he had a lawyer.
Washington County District Attorney Todd Martens is considering whether to charge Buss with disorderly conduct and unlawful use of computerized communication systems.
"If you look at all the factors in this case, it's pretty clear it would be a mistake to charge," said Larry Dupuis, legal director of The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin. "At worst, it was somebody expressing admiration for somebody who did something reprehensible. But the more reasonable explanation is this is somebody who is trying to mock the conservative view of teacher salaries."
Police Capt. Toby Netko defended the arrest. He said the teacher who complained was disturbed by the reference to "one shot at a time" and other educators agreed it was a threat.
"What happens when you say bomb in an airport? That's free speech, isn't it?" he said. "And people are taken into custody for that all the time."
Donald Downs, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor and expert in free speech, said that "all sorts of unsavory, controversial speech" are protected by the First Amendment.
"It has to be intended to incite violence" to be illegal, Downs said. "If it's tongue-in-cheek, there's virtually no way they can claim that."
Downs added, however, that the school district might have legal grounds to discipline Buss. The teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave while his school district considers what action to take.
Sara Larsen, superintendent of the Oak Creek school district where Buss has worked since 1994, said she was "dismayed, disappointed and discouraged" by the posting. She had worked closely with Buss when he was president of the teacher's union for three years ending in 2006.

Poor refrigeration ruins vaccines
BY MELANIE S. WELTE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Every year, thousands of American children go through the tearful, teeth-grinding ordeal of getting their vaccinations, only to be forced to do it all over again. The vaccines were duds, ruined by poor refrigeration.
It is more than a source of distress for parent and child. It is a public health threat, because youngsters given understrength vaccines are unprotected against dangerous diseases. And it accounts for a big part of the $20 million in waste incurred by the federal Vaccines for Children program.
"This is a substantial problem that needs to be addressed through prevention, and when problems are discovered, often times through revaccinations," said Dr. Lance Rodewald, director of immunization services at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
By CDC estimates, hundreds of thousands of doses of vaccines against such diseases as flu, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox and the cervical cancer virus are thrown out each year because of poor refrigeration at clinics, hospitals and doctors' offices.
Iowa, more than 1,000 families were notified by letter and telephone that they needed to get their children revaccinated. State officials found that the refrigerator at the clinic that administered the shots repeatedly dropped below freezing over a 17-month period in 2005 and 2006, potentially ruining the vaccines stored there.
"We just didn't notice it," said Dr. Ray Sturdevant, president of the Prairie Pediatrics and Adolescent Clinic.
Poor refrigeration has been blamed for similar problems elsewhere around the country over the past 21/2 years:
— In St. Cloud, Minn., a clinic had to revaccinate 8,600 patients, most of them children.
— In Lane County, Ore., 500 children and adults had to get another shot.
— In western Florida, it happened to about 250 kids.
"We do everything we can to advise and to make people aware that this is very expensive vaccines they're dealing with and we really want to handle it properly and store it properly to prevent these things from happening — but they do," said Charles Alexander, chief of immunization with the Florida Health Department.
In Sioux City and other cases, the spoilage resulted from a combination of factors: The refrigerator malfunctioned or was not set or maintained at the proper temperature — a problem that can be caused simply by leaving the door open for a while — and the workers responsible for regularly logging the temperature did not seem to
recognize when the readings were off.
Inadequate refrigeration can cause vaccines to lose their potency, although experts say spoiled childhood vaccines are not dangerous in themselves if given to a youngster.
And there are no known cases of children contracting a disease because they had been given a vaccine rendered ineffective by poor refrigeration.

Three teens held for murder
BY MATT SEDENSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAYLOR SLAYING
MIAMI — Three men were held without bail Tuesday in the killing of Sean Taylor, placed on a suicide watch and described as extremely distraught a day after thousands mourned at the funeral of the Washington Redskins star.
Charles Wardlow, 18. Jason Mitchell, 19, and Venjah Hunte, 20. appeared briefly by videoconference from Miami-Dade County jail, where they will remain after Judge John Thornton Jr.'s ruling.
The three suspects and a fourth one, Eric Rivera, 17, all face charges of unpremeditated murder, home invasion with a firearm or another deadly weapon and armed burglary. Rivera is being processed at a juvenile detention center, jail officials said.
The three stood silently during the hearing. They were seen on video wearing special garments designed to keep them from using the clothes to make a noose.
Asked how he would defend his client, Smith said simply: "Stay tuned."
Attorneys said all the men were agitated and jail officials confirmed that those denied bail were under suicide watch.
occurred," said Rivera's attorney, Wilbur Smith. "His expression to me was that 'I can't believe this kind of thing happened.'"
"He's very distraught," said Hunte's attorney, Michael Hornung. "He's scared."
Hornung offered glimpse of his client's possible involvement. He said Hunte was the only one of the suspects with a valid driver's license and behind the wheel at least part of the time. He said Hunte did not have a gun and did not know his friends' plans.
"Just a bunch of friends that evening said they were going to the East Coast and he went along," Hornung said. "He had no idea whatsoever what was going on."
Hunte is cooperating with police.

Probable cause affidavits for Mitchell and Rivera said the two confessed to participating in armed burglary. According to the reports, Mitchell and Rivera admitted entering the home and said someone had a gun and shot Taylor, but they didn't identify who. Police and attorneys also have said some of the young men confessed, though they wouldn't elaborate.
The court proceedings came a day after Taylor's funeral, which was held at a university arena and drew about 3,000 mourners. Among those attending were NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, 300 members of the redskins organization, O.J. Simpson, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and actor Andy Garcia.

TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH
Language proficiency offers opportunities
Whether it's English, Spanish or Mandarin, everyone can benefit from mastering multiple tongues
JORDAN WILLIAMS
As I scribe this, I am completely obsessed with the issue of whether I can finagle my way into the coveted "excellent" category in the university grading system, also known as an "A."
The class which causes me such grief is intensive elementary Spanish 111, but why is this so? As an English major pursuing a Bachelor's Degree, the University of Kansas mandates that I must complete four semesters, or the equivalency, of a foreign language. I have deduced some basic and sensible reasons why B.A. pursuers need not balk at the idea of learning a tongue not called English. For example, China and Japan continue to rise in the world of business and technology, respectively. It shouldn't come as a surprise that business administration and computer related majors are among the most popular fields in America.
Learning Mandarin along the
way is pretty smart considering Wall Street aficionados and CNBC types already have begun penning editorials that predict a Chinese takeover of the global economy. To facilitate this process, and possibly make beau coup bucks in the future, undergrads are wise to adhere to collegiate conventional wisdom and
take up the foreign language of simplified and standardized Chinese that would bolster effectiveness in business transactions abroad.
Even more so, zealous engineering and computer science majors should like to consider a Japanese lifestyle. Honda, Sony, Fuji-film, Nintendo and Toshiba heavily influence the global market in electronics and cars, especially in America where companies have their products made or assembled in Japan, but sold in America, like Apple. Having a conversational or expert command of a language means more than just business deals abroad. These language skills can improve American social interaction as well.
According to the mid-decade census in 2005, Hispanics and Latinos now outnumber blacks 14 percent to 12 percent, and that's not even accounting for the undocumented workers. I
know in my past experiences, I've been able to whip out the Spanish tongue on numerous occasions in order to make a speaker of Spanish feel more at home. And this is in Lawrence, Kan., people! I strongly believe that students with strong backgrounds in Spanish would make superb teachers, social workers, lawyers and health care providers in a state that borders an ocean or Mexico.
Finally, I feel compelled to contest a slogan that many of my moderate-to-conservative leaning friends at KU believe they must incessantly parrot: "This is 'Merica, and we should speak English!" Whether this statement is said facetiously or seriously, I wholeheartedly agree. However, that little gem of wisdom should apply to all Americans, not just the brown ones from other countries. I'm sure that the Department of English empathizes with me when I lament that most newspapers across the country still print at fifth and sometimes third grade levels (I know my hometown Coffeville Journal does) because highly stylized or technical writing disorients and bores the average American reader.
Furthermore, I lament that some of my native English speaking friends probably could
not correctly identify a split infinitive, ambiguous pronoun, comma splice, run-on sentence or past perfect subjunctive verbal phrase to save their souls. I charge that to succeed in whatever endeavor a student should choose, it might be helpful to review the basic grammar and mechanics that were taught in ninth grade honors English, instead of attempting to scapegoat the Mexicans, Cubans and Puerto Ricans for a perceived deficiency in spoken and written American English.
Okay, so enough of the supercilious hissy-fitting about the American tendency to butcher English and then blame immigrants for its demise. I digress to the original point of foreign language being great for intellectual enrichment and increasing that yearly salary. Take comfort and joy not only in Christmas-related carols, but also in the fact that enduring four grueling semesters of Uyghur will help one look more attractive to Harvard Law School than the sucker who thought a no-foreign language Bachelor of General Studies Degree was the way to go.

This situation seems to happen to me too often. Waking up at 1:09 p.m. Sunday afternoon with a splitting headache, my clothes still on and no recollection of my actions between 10:42 p.m. the night before, when I sent my last semi-sober text message to my ex-girlfriend telling her how much I love to party and this morning, or should I say afternoon.

How many other sophomores find themselves in this situation?

Non-traditional students have the same concerns as young students, plus others
On top of graduation, job recruitment, older student have to maintain an edge in technology
GAIL MIROSTAW
The University Daily Kansan reported on Oct.16 the danger
reported on Oct. 16 the dangers of putting personal information on the Internet and Facebook. Security specialists told students the scary side to revealing too much personal information on line. How students are viewed and evaluated online can damage reputations forever.
Well, for me, a 50-plus student, who has never even looked at Facebook, it seems I haven't screwed that up. Perhaps my technical shortcomings have worked to my advantage in at least one area. But I have so many other worries about graduation and job searches and I know I am not alone. Everywhere I go on campus I see and hear young students worried about their résumés, internships, interviews and opportunities in this competitive world. On the Oct. 16, students flocked to the career booth in the Union for advice and résumé polishing.
The young graduates and I worry about some of the same things, such as what we want to be when we grow up, where we want to work, how to make big bucks or just enough bucks to live on, what to wear for interviews and how to write the résumé in the most eye-catching way.
What the young graduates don't worry about is the date on their birth certificates.
One of my concerns, when I think about looking for a job, is that my technical skills do not measure up to what might be required, even though I have worked for 23 years on a computer at my jobs. I am reminded daily how much faster younger people can be in the technical field. I just missed growing up with and being educated in the computer world. The computer is ingrained in young people. It is just part of everyday life. Then you throw in their expertise on other technological gadgets and I really feel I am in the dark.
I am a baby boomer. The first official baby boomer, Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, born Jan. 1, 1946, applied for Social Security a few days ago. And here I am, looking for my first job as a soon-to-be new graduate.
I worry about the physical issues of age, including eyesight loss, too much or too little weight, hearing loss, possible eyelifts and hair color use. These affections do not usually hit the young, at least not all at once when they graduate from college.
I think these concerns may start and end with the big C, confidence. Young students appear to have a lot of confidence, even though they may be scared to death as they approach graduation. As I get older, I find I know less and have less confidence, so I hope their bravado is catching. And, speaking of hope, I also want some of that youthful optimism to rub off on me.
Granted, I have a few pluses those just starting out can't claim. Most importantly I have experience. It is a tremendous teacher. CIO News reported in October that even though the baby boomer brain drain may be hype regarding technical skills, the loss of experience with the retirement of senior workers is real. The Westchester County Business Journal reported in a July 2006 issue that companies need to find ways of retaining baby boomers because of their wealth of experience.
So there is one more thing I hang onto. I keep gaining experience. It comes at me no matter what I do. I can't stop it and I can't screw it up. I just have to listen, learn and be open to it.

Students share Christmas traditions
Holiday traditions in the United States range from elaborately decorating Christmas trees to setting out milk and cookies for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. It is hard to imagine that other traditions exist outside of "Americanized" Christmas. However, the U.S. is filled with people of various cultures and each has its own rich holiday tradition. The University of Kansas alone is bursting with students from all over the world who each celebrate Christmas in their own, unique way.
Zharif Shariftudin, Assen, Holland, freshman, has noticed major differences between American Christmas traditions and the way he celebrates Christmas in Holland.
"In the U.S., Christmas is a huge deal. Back home, in Holland, it is not that big of a celebration," he said.
"It's a kind of combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas," Sharifudin said. "There is always a big parade, and it is a fun time to be together with family and friends."
He further explained that the holiday honored Sinter Klaas, a saint who freed slaves. He brings gifts to the children of Holland on Sinterklaas Eve, just as Santa does on Christmas Eve here.
"Even though I will miss my friends, I prefer American Christmas," he said. "I have spent a couple Christmases here, and there is just so much more to do and see. It's a lot more fun."
Josie Ho, a Macau, China, fresh
"Sure it is big, but not as big as it is here"
The Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas on Dec. 5.
In Holland, Sharifuddin said,
"There are no big mails for Christmas shopping and no Santa Claus."
"Turkey is not common, so we usually dine out on Christmas Eve and Christmas," she said. "Also, Christmas in Macau is just commercial. There is no real religious significance."
Ho said that at home, her family decorated the exterior of its house and exchanged gifts on Christmas, but it was nowhere near the extravagance of American decoration.
Monica Panayi, Cyprus sophmore, noticed one similarity between Christmas in Cypress and Christmas in America.
"I feel like my Christmas is the same as here because of the religion behind it," Panayi said. "Everyone back home is Orthodox Christian, so going to mass is a big part of our
"I really like Christmas in America.
It is different, but I like it," she said.
"We have turkey on Christmas Eve, and I know most people here don't do that," Panayi said. "Also, we don't get our presents on Christmas Eve, but instead on New Year's Eve. We don't have a Santa Claus exactly; instead it is San Vasilis. The legend is that he comes on New Year's Eve."
man, agrees with Sharifuddin, even though she is returning to her home in China for the holidays.
Panayi also noticed that Christmas in America was more hyped than it was in her native country.

But Christmas in America is not exactly familiar to Panky, either.
Hae Jung, Seoul, South Korea freshman, said that the traditions in South Korea were about the same as the traditions in the United States, including Santa Claus and Christmas trees. However, there is one different aspect that stands out in his mind.

Hawks appreciate well-earned bid
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
When the Kansas players addressed the media just minutes after receiving word of their invitation to the Orange Bowl, they swelled with pride as they approached the podium.
Senior defensive tackle James McClinton thanked the Lord for the postseason berth, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said he was "quite ecstatic" about the announcement, and coach Mark Mangino even shared a hearty laugh or two with his players.
But 165 miles east in Columbia, Mo., there were no excited players taking bites out of oranges and no talk of an upcoming trip to Miami. After losing in the Big 12 Championship game last weekend against Oklahoma, Missouri was not invited to a big-name, big-money BCS bowl. Instead, the Tigers are headed to the Cotton Bowl.
"Kansas is a one-loss team," Orange Bowl committee member Vance Carlton said. "When you play in a conference championship and you have a great

MANGINO FINALIST FOR COACH OF THE YEAR
football notes
Kansas coach Mark Mangino is one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. He helped author the Jayhawks' five-game turnaround from a 6-6 campaign in 2006 to this season's 11-1 regular season finish. When the Jayhawks travel to Miami for the Orange Bowl Jan. 3, it will mark the third time in Mangino's six seasons at Kansas that the team will play in a bowl game. Other coaches nominated include BCS-bound Mark Rich of Georgia, Jim Tressel of Ohio State and Ron Zook of Illinois. Mangino
is the only Big 12 Conference coach among the finalists. Fans can vote for the finalists at coachoftheyear.com

Bragging rights on the line
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
If Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 Conference Championship, the Sooners would play the Jayhawks in the Fiesta Bowl. At least that was the widespread rumor a week ago.
An all-Big 12 bowl game would have brought intriguing questions. Could Kansas beat Oklahoma, the team that beat Missouri by double digits twice? How would close friends and former colleagues Kansas coach Mark Mangino and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops handle playing each other on one of college football's biggest stages?
But when BCS Selection Sunday finally arrived, Kansas accepted an Orange Bowl bid against Virginia Tech more than 2,000 miles away from the Fiesta Bowl and Oklahoma. Mangino likes it that way.
FedEx
ORANGE BOWL
"When you go to play a bowl game, you like to play against another conference," Mangino said. "It's a conference pride versus their conference thing. That's what makes bowls a lot of fun."
Conference bragging rights will definitely
be on the line in Miami. The match-up between the Jayhawks and the Hokies is one of only two bowl games that pit the Big 12 against the Atlantic Coast Conference. The other will be held two days before the Orange Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., between Texas Tech and Virginia.
Further complicating the Orange Bowl plot is the fact that Kansas and Virginia Tech have never played each other. The Jayhawks and the Hokies also didn't share any common opponents this season. As Virginia Tech players celebrated the Orange Bowl announcement, they admitted their lack of knowledge on Kansas.

That was a pretty impactful game when you go into that championship game and lose by what Missouri lost by. It definitely weighed on our decision-making process."

Robinson steals defensive show
Opponents who have a size advantage don't bother the 6-foot-1 Russell Robinson. As long as the player is smaller than 6-foot-8, he's ready to defend the best player on the other team.
Robinson, a senior guard, has already guarded Southern California's O.J. Mayo. Now he wants to guard other top players such as Texas' D.J. Augustin and Missouri's Steffon Hannah. Kansas State's Michael Beasley, who listed at 6-foot-8, might also be a possibility, but he could be out of Robinson's range.
"That's a little bit too much right there," Robinson said. "You start getting into some power."
Last week, Kansas coach Bill Self said his team needed to find a lockdown defender until junior guard Brandon Rush could return to full strength. Robinson is ready to guard the top player for Eastern Washington when Kansas (6-0) faces the Eagles tonight at 7 in Allen Fieldhouse and for the rest of the season.
He sure looked like a lockdown defender Sunday against USC. Robinson stayed inside Mayo's jersey for all 33 minutes he played. Mayo, one of the top freshmen in the country and surefire lottery pick in next June's NBA Draft, shot just six of 21 from the field and turned the ball over five times because of Robinson's pressure. Mayo's miscues were a major reason the offensively challenged Jayhawks were able to escape with a four-point victory.
"That was the main thing, to wear him down," Robinson said about his job on Mayo. "We knew he'd take shots, but I wanted to make him work for it and think about it." Mayo, at 6-foot-5, had a four-inch size advantage on Robinson. Robinson said he could handle the bigger players by just fronting them in the post. He said his teammates could help if the ball gets thrown toward the basket behind him. Self is fine putting Robinson in that defensive role.
"To me," Self said, "if we have more than the other team and it's a big especially on the road, Russell's going to be a big reason why we won."
"I really believe it's much easier for a small

Self just wants to see more defensive effort from Robinson like he saw on Sunday.
guy to guard a big guy than a big guy to guard a small guy," Self said. "I think he can. Now when Brandon comes back and Rod gets better then I think we could have three guys that could lock you up pretty good."
The defensive side is where Self wants Robinson to help the most. He said he didn't even look to see how Robinson performed on the offensive end and said Robinson performed better offensively if he didn't think about doing too much.
injury report
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins can't practice yet, but he is riding on a stationery bike while the team practices. Coach Bill Self said he hoped Collins could be ready within the next few days. Before he got injured, Collins was the team leader in scoring with 16 points
per game.
Freshman guard Tyret Reed, who sprained his ankle last week, is close to 100 percent. Self said. He should be ready to play against Eastern Washington tonight.

"Come On In; You Be The Judge!"
Paterno, who led Penn State to an 8-4 record this season, was hoping to take his children back to his old neighborhood in Brooklyn while he was into town, but he's been too busy.
had to be put on hold because this time last year he was recovering from a broken leg which was the result of two players ran into him during a game.
The rest of the class of 13 new hall of famers, including 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie and former Oregon star Ahmad Rashad, were voted in earlier this year and inducted at a banquet Tuesday night at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in midtown Manhattan.
On Monday night, Penn State threw a reception at another Manhattan hotel for Paterno. About half of the 400 people who showed up were Paterno's former players, including Franco Harris, John Cappelletti and Lydell Mitchell and Todd Blackledge.
"So many of the kids came back," Paterno said. "It was very emotional. I didn't get to spend enough time with any of them. It was like holding court."
"I'll always be a New Yorker. It's great to come back," he said.
Paterno also found out at the reception that two of his friends, Patrick and Candace Malloy, of Key Largo, Fla., donated $5 million to Penn State to endow the position he has occupied for 42 seasons. It's the largest donation ever given to Penn State athletics.
Paterno will complete his 58th season at Penn State in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 19 against Texas A&M. No other major college coach has been at one school longer and his 371 career
victories ranks second only to Bobby Bowden (373).
Bowden and Paterno were supposed be inducted into the Hall of Fame together last year, but Paterno was still gimpy from surgery to repair a broken left shinbone and torn ligaments in his knee.
"I'm only sorry I wasn't here last year with Bobby Bowden, somebody I respect so much; somebody I think has done a magnificent job at his school," Paterno said. "We've been very fortunate. God's given us good health. Every once in a while you get a little sloppy on the sideline and let somebody run into you."
Paterno became the head coach at Penn State in 1966, before any of the 12 players in the latest hall of fame class started college.
Chris Zorich, who played defensive tackle for Notre Dame from 1988-90 and was the youngest member of the induction class, marveled at how Paterno's career has spanned generations of college football players.
The rest of the new Hall of Famers were: Oklahoma center Tom Brahaney; Michigan defensive back Dave Brown; Clemson linebacker Jeff Davis; Texas defensive back Johnnie Johnson; Ohio State quarterback Rex Kern; Indiana running back Anthony Thompson; Houston defensive tackle Wilson Whitley, Dartmouth linebacker Reggie Williams; and Southern California linebacker Richard Wood.
"He represents what college football is supposed to be about: Tradition and building character," Zorich said. "It's not about hiring a new guy every three, four years."

After months of anticipation, a construction company has been selected to build the Kansas baseball clubhouse. In mid-November, companies placed bids on the project and GLPM Architects Inc. came out on top. Above is an architectural drawing of the clubhouse. The two-story, 6,500 square foot clubhouse will be built behind the first base-side bleachers of Hoglund Ballpark. It will feature a locker room and lounge for players, game day offices for the coaches and a reception area for visitors. The clubhouse project, which will cost approximately $1.7 million, should be substantially completed by June 15.

Yankees' deadline passes on trade New York fails to make deal with Minnesota for Santana
BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hank Steinbrener's deadline for a Johan Santana trade with Minnesota passed without an agreement.
Minnesota came off its demand that the Yankees include pitcher Ian Kennedy along with pitcher Phil Hughes and center fielder Melky Cabrera, but the Twins still were asking for more than the Yankees were willing to offer.
"It's still something that we can't do," Steinbrenner said Tuesday morning. "As far as I'm concerned, it's probably off."
Steinbrenner, a senior vice president and son of owner George Steinbrenner, planned to speak with general manager Brian Cashman later Tuesday to assess the team's stance.
New Twins general manager Bill Smith didn't seem concerned about the deadline. Of course, baseball teams let deadlines pass all the time only to resume talks later.
"We've got good players. We have players that maybe other clubs
would like to acquire," he said. "We've had a lot of years where we keep going over and picking up the phone receiver to make sure the dial tone was still (there). We couldn't get the phone to ring."
Boston is thought to have offered Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz or Jacoby Ellsbury — but only one of them — as part of a deal.
Santana's agent, Peter Greenberg, said his client was angered by a report that he has told the Twins to only trade him to the Yankees or Red Sox. Santana has made no such request, Greenberg said, and also has ruled out returning to the Twins next season.
"He was very adamant about that. He wanted to make sure we clarified that. That upset him," Greenberg said. "He's been very clear all along that he wants Bill to make the best deal possible."
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein didn't express any time pressure. He said there was no expiration date on any of his trade talks.
"I think we've only done that when we thought it was in our best
interest," Epstein said. "We don't have current discussions ongoing for which I think that would be in our best interest. We're pretty content with where we are and we don't think anything major is getting held up."
New York did get a left-hander Monday; Andy Pettite decided to pitch for the Yankees next season rather than retire.
Pettitite's agent, Randy Hendricks, said Monday that the 35-year-old lefty had started telling teammates on Sunday. Hendricks then informed Cashman of the news.
Hendricks said Yankees captain Derek Jeter and catcher Jorge Posada had lobbied Pettitte to return, and the pitcher consulted his wife.
"Players such as Jeter and Posada told him how much they needed him back, as did Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi," Hendricks said. "Andy decided this weekend that he didn't want to keep the Yankees on hold as they sought to determine their team for next year."

Both teams want to end their season in a more pleasing fashion than last year. Kansas wasn't invited to a bowl game despite being bowl eligible at 6-6. Virginia Tech squandered an 18-point halftime lead and lost to Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Missouri lost to Oklahoma 38-17 in the Big 12 Championship, scoring less than 30 points for the first time all season. But the Tigers entered the championship game with an 11-1 record, a No.1 ranking
According to some analysts, the answer is a resounding "no."
ESPN's Lee Corso put it bluntly on a bowl selection show when he said of the situation, "It sucks." Mike Greenberg said Missouri's absence from the BCS was "ridiculous" on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show.
"Things will sort themselves out and this is where we are supposed to be."

GARY PINKEL Missouri head football coach
Kansas and Missouri both have compelling cases for their inclusion in a BCS bowl. The Jayhawks have only lost one game and have outscored their opponents 532-192 this season. The Tigers
nave defeated both Illinois (40-34)
and Kansas (36-28) — two BCS
qualifiers — and have twice lost
to the Big 12 champion Oklahoma
Sooners.
But the rules allow only one
at-large team from each conference into the BCS bowls. When Kansas slipped into the Orange Bowl as an at-large selection, Missouri dropped out of the picture. Although some Missouri players said they were not sure whether the system had treated them fairly, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said his team was excited for the opportunity to play in the Cotton Bowl.
"We had a great year," Pinkel said at a news conference Sunday. "You can never take away a division championship and playing in a championship game. Things will sort themselves out and this is where we are supposed to be."
At the Kansas news conference, each player fielded questions about the apparent snub Missouri endured. When asked whether Missouri deserved a BCS bid, junior linebacker Joe Mortensen offered a simple explanation.
"No comment," he said with a smile.

Talib was one of five finalists for the award, which went to LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey. The players attended a dinner Sunday night with former NFL player Bubba Smith before they spoke at a High School Leadership Forum on Monday morning Monday afternoon the players appeared on a local radio show and visited to a children's hospital. Monday night Dorsey received the award at a banquet. Talib has made 61 tackles and four interceptions and has broken up 13 passes this season. Dorsey, a senior, has recorded 64 tackles and six sacks.

Everyone knows the Sooner defense is fast. The question is whether it's fast enough to keep up with the Mountaineers' speed-addicted offense. West Virginia junior quarterback Pat White was injured in the Mountaineers' loss to Pittsburgh but is expected to make a full recovery by the Fiesta Bowl. White is the team's leading rusher and averaging 99 yards per game on the ground. West Virginia's other big name rusher, junior running back Steve Slaton, has slowed down considerably of late. Slaton has rushed for more than 100 yards only once in the Mountaineer's final five games and only gained 11 yards on nine carries in the season-ending loss to Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma defense embarrassed Missouri in their season-ending game. Sooner junior linebacker Curtis Lofton has emerged as one of the nation's best linebackers. Oklahoma freshman quarterback Sam Bradford ranks first in the nation in passing efficiency and could shred the West Virginia defense.

Both teams enter the Cotton Bowl under peculiar circumstances. The Tigers feel as if they should be playing in a Bowl Championship Series game because they beat both Kansas and Illinois, teams that are appearing in BCS games ahead of them. The Razorbacks lost their coach, Houston Nutt, after defeating then-No. 1 Louisiana State in triple overtime. Missouri has the superior team but must avoid falling into the trap of feeling sorry for itself and blowing a winnable game. Arkansas matches up well against Missouri. Sophomore defensive back Jerell Norton leads a strong pass defense that could irritate Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel. And Arkansas running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones are never fun for opponents. Most of the Razorbacks expressed overwhelming support for their departed coach. They certainly seem to have more momentum heading into Dallas.

The Hoosiers only beat one team with a winning record all season and didn't exactly stifle opposing offenses.

Or all the toweriier bowls, this one could be the most exciting. Texas hasn't played at quite the elite level the nation expected it to all season. Sophomore quarterback Colt McCoy has gone from a preseason Heisman candidate to a token example of a sophomore slump. McCoy has thrown 18 interceptions, more than twice as many as he did in his freshman season. In Tempe, Ariz., Dennis Erickson has made the Sundevils a 10-win team in his first season as the coach.

have been big factors in why New England is still undefeated this far into the season. Brady has thrown for 3,696 yards on the season with 41 touchdowns and only five interceptions. Brady will break the single season touchdown record easily this season, and if he's on your fantasy roster he might just lead your team to a fantasy football championship.
RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles — Westbrook is the only bright spot on this Eagles team, which is a big reason why he is able to rack up so many fantasy points. He is the top running back, and the top receiver, in all reality, on the Eagles' roster. Westbrook has 994 rushing yards, 604 receiving yards and 11 total touchdowns on the season. Westbrook gains a lot of yards in every game and is almost guaranteed at least one touchdown in every game. All of that adds up to a lot of fantasy points for a fantasy football all-star.
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers — Tomlinson had a slow start to the season, but he got going at the right time this season. He has put up some big numbers in the past few weeks, as the Chargers have taken control of the AFC West division. Tomlinson is always around the top of fantasy football draft boards for a good reason. Tomlinson has 1,049 rushing yards, 427 receiving yards and 12 total touchdowns. Tomlinson proved he was the quintessential fantasy running back over the past few years and this year was no different.
WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots — Talk about a bargain! The Patriots acquired Moss from the Raiders for a fourth round draft pick and that trade ignited the rebirth of one of the best receivers in the NFL. Moss has 1,129 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns this season. The fantasy football point system rewards touchdowns greatly and Moss has racked up both in big numbers this season.
WR Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys — Owens has had destructive tendencies in the past, and I thought they would start to show this season in Dallas. However, Owens provided a big-time weapon for emerging star quarterback Tony Romo and both benefited from having big seasons. Owens has 1,249 receiving yards this season and 14 touchdowns. Owens is a surefire fantasy superstar as well as a lock for the NFL Pro Bowl at the end of the season.
WR Braylon Edwards,
Cleveland Brown's — The Browns may be one of the biggest surprises this season. Edwards is a big part of what has become one of the NFL's most explosive pass offenses. Edwards was a top pick in the NFL draft just a few years ago, and has rapidly matured into a star receiver in the NFL. Edwards has 1,043 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns this season and has been a big part of Cleveland's success this season.
TE Kellen Winslow, Cleveland Browns — Winslow is also a big part of the Browns' explosive pass offense. He has 909 receiving yards and five touchdowns on the season. Everyone knew Winslow could be a star in the NFL before he was plagued by injuries in his first couple years in the league. Now we are seeing just how good Winslow is and how he compares to the other star tight ends in the league. This season, he has obviously proven that he will be a star tight end on the fantasy side for years to come.
K Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers — The Packers took arguably the best kicker out of college in the draft last spring after two kickers had already been drafted. Crosby is tied with fellow rookie Nick Folk for most fantasy points for a kicker, according to yahoosports.com. He has made all extra
points he has attempted and he has converted 24 of 30 field goal attempts, including eight field goals of 40 or more yards. Crosby has been a sure foot all year and he has earned a lot of fantasy points for his fantasy owners.
Minnesota defense — The Vikings are slowly creeping into the NFC playoff picture as a wild card, largely in part because of their defense. The Vikings boast
one of the best run defenses in the NFL and lead the NFL in defensive touchdowns. They also have forced 14 interceptions and recovered 11 fumbles on defense. The Vikings have a one-dimensional offense, but their defense is what wins games. You know how the old saying goes: defense wins fantasy football championships.

The 31-year-outfielder batted .290 with 23 homers and 99 RBIs for the Seattle Mariners this year. Seattle declined its $9 million option and Guillen turned down a $5 million player option, receiving a $500,000 buoyout.

"We have the obvious need of adding right-handed power to our lineup," new Royals manager Trey Hillman said.
Hillman said Guillen would slot into the middle of the order if the deal was finalized. He wasn't too concerned about which outfield spot Guillen would play.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported last month that Guillen bought nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and human growth hormone from 2003-05. Major League Baseball began testing for steroids in 2003, and penalties for first offenses began in 2005. HGH was banned in January 2005.

MOTOROLA
Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards argues a call during the fourth quarter of a NFL football game against the Oakland Raiders Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Oakland won the game 20-17.
Herm just wants to win
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The slumping Kansas City Chiefs are 4-8 and have four games left in a season that no longer holds any postseason promise. So wouldn't they be better off losing these last four and getting a high draft pick?
Coach Herm Edwards answers emphatically "no" to the question that naturally arises this time of year when NFL teams are for all practical purposes eliminated from the plaveffs.
The Chiefs have lost five in a row and are battered by injury, including a foot problem that's going to
keep Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson out for a fifth straight game and may sideline quarterback Brodie Croyle for Sunday's game in Denver.
But Edwards insists they'd be better off winning their next four and finishing 8-8 and picking in the middle of each round next April when the odds of getting an "impact" player are reduced.
"It's real simple. You want to win," Edwards said Tuesday. "Winning comes before anything."
But don't the Chiefs also want to win in 2010, 2011, etc., when this current rebuilding program begins to bear fruit? And wouldn't the chances of that be enhanced by getting a great player with the third or fourth pick in the first round next April?
"We'll be fine," Edwards said. "I want to win right now. I want these young players, I want this football
team to win a game. That's the most important thing. The draft, what we do in the draft, the players who are here who are not going to be here, all that stuff — people always want to talk about that.
"It's real simple. You want to win. Winning comes before anything."
when you have these kind of years," he said. "That's a good question because people wonder why. You want to win. That's why you do all this, the enjoyment of winning. It's a wonderful feeling if you have a plan

Besides, finishing strong in an otherwise dismal year could have a positive carry-over effect, Edwards said.
"I think it helps you, yeah. One thing that has to happen, you want to feel good about when the offseason starts. You've won some games. You've let a lot of young players participate in it.
Edwards said he is not offended by fans who are questioning the benefit of winning meaningless late-season games.
"You want the guys to win. You just want to win because you put in too much work not to. All the rest of this stuff takes care of itself."
New England Patriots on Monday night is how he wants his team to finish out the year, Edwards said.
The Ravens, like the Chiefs, had also lost five in a row before finally losing 27-24 on a last-minute touchdown.
"No, because that's what happens
"Players understand when you go out there on the field, and your name is on the back of that jersey, that represents you. It represents your legacy as a player, as a professional," he said.
"People always question when you have a record like this. Your record makes a difference of whether you're going to be in the playoffs. But what people miss the point of is the preparation that you put in regardless of your record, every week to try to win a game."
Henry appealed his suspension in early November. He earned the full support of Broncos coach Mike Shanahan after he passed a polygraph test and had a hair sample come back negative for marijuana.
League spokesman Greg Aiello said that had no bearing on the decision.
"I'm thrilled," Steinberg said. "I always thought we should prevail. I knew that if we got a fair shake, based on the evidence, wed win. Travis knows and he's absolutely thrilled and relieved and very happy."
The NFL informed Henry in September he had failed a test for marijuana. He disputed the results and sued the NFL to avoid a suspension. He contended the league violated its substance abuse policy by not allowing an expert of Henry's choosing to be present for the testing.
The Broncos issued a statement that said they were "pleased with this outcome and happy that Travis has been absolved of any wrongdoing with respect to this matter."
"The defense of hair samples and lie detector tests was irrelevant and unconvinced." Aiello said in a statement. "But our substance abuse program is based on meeting the highest standards and respecting player rights in all phases of its administration."
Henry's lawyer Harvey Steinberg told The Associated Press that he wasn't surprised by the decision.
The Broncos signed Henry to a five-year, $22.5 million free agent contract that included $12 million in guarantees this offseason after the Titans released him in a cost-cutting move.
Aiello said in a release that Henry will remain in the league's substance abuse program. Henry served a four-game drug-related suspension while with the Tennessee Titans in 2005.
Henry had missed the last three games with a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
But Steinberg wasn't sure if Henry would remain in the program or cycle out.

DENVER — Broncos running back Travis Henry won his appeal of a one-year suspension over a failed drug test Tuesday.
However, he returned to the backfield in a loss to Oakland on Sunday, carrying the ball 15 times for 49 yards and two touchdowns. He also had the ball stripped away on a hit, and had another bound away when he and Jay Cutler messed up a handoff exchange.

Their latest opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, is convinced the Patriots have more than destiny on their side.
Patriots trample Ravens despite call complaints
After losing to New England 27-24 Monday night, the Ravens complained bitterly about several calls that went against them during the Patriots' final drive, which ended with a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds left.

"As long as we have the ball and time on the clock, we feel confident that we can pull it out," Gaffney said.
Brady was stuffed on a fourth-down quarterback sneak at the Baltimore 30, but the Ravens had called a timeout. Then Baltimore stopped Heath Evans, but New England jumped offsides and got another chance, which Brady converted with a 12-yard run.
Brady made it happen, although there were several frightening moments for the Patriots during the 13-play drive.
New England (12-0) trailed 24-20 when Brady led the offense onto the field with 3:30 to go.

SAN FRANCISCO — Seven media companies, including The Associated Press, filed papers with a federal appeals court Tuesday in support of Hearst Corp.'s fight to get the names of Major League Baseball players implicated in a steroids investigation.
The players, whose names are blacked out on the affidavit, are alleged to have purchased steroids from Radomski, who pleaded guilty to drug distribution and is expected to be sentenced to prison early next year by the same federal judge handling the Barry Bonds perjury case and all related steroid cases.
The names of almost two dozen baseball players appear on a federal agent's application to raid the home of a former New York Mets clubhouse employee and admitted steroids dealer Kirk Radomski last year.
As part of his plea bargain,
R ad o m s k i agree to cooperate with federal authorities and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, who is investigating the use of performance-enhancing drugs for Major
publicly soon after the report is distributed to each MLB club.
"Particularly given the prior release of the names to Sen. Mitchell and MLB's right to further disseminate the names, a restriction on access to the court records cannot possibly be effective," states the brief submitted by Advance Publications Inc., the AP. Bloomberg News, CNN, the (New York) Daily News, The New York Times and the Tribune Co.
Prosecutors asked a judge to keep the names under seal to protect the ongoing investigation. The MLB players' union argued that the names should be kept confidential to protect the players' privacy.
"A restriction on access to the court records cannot possibly be effective."
The companies also argued that search warrant affidavits are usually publicly available "because they provide the factual justification for the exercise of significant governmental power — sending federal agents into an individual's house."
League Baseball. Radomski turned over the names to Mitchell, which the news organizations argue also entitles them and the public to the names.
MEDIA BRIEF

Mitchell is expected to release his report by year's end and to name drug-using players. Those names are expected to be released
The media companies in their filing Tuesday said the players have no right to protect their names because "illegal drug purchases are not protected by any right to privacy."

Barry Bonds testified before a federal grand jury investigating the suspected distribution of illegal performance-enhancing drugs by two men closely associated with the San Francisco Giants star in 2003. Bonds was charged Thursday with perjury and obstruction of justice, the culmination of a four-year federal probe into whether he lied under oath to a grand jury investigating steroid use by elite athletes.
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds' first date with a federal judge is Friday, when he is expected to plead not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges, but the slugger still has yet to assemble his full legal team.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bonds and longtime attorney Mike Rains began shopping around the Bay Area for another lawyer with federal experience even before Bonds was charged Nov. 15 with lying to a grand jury about his steroids use.
Rains has a small firm focused mostly on defending police officers accused of misconduct and he has limited experience in federal court. So Laura Enos, another lawyer who represents Bonds' business interests, said the slugger was looking to add another lawyer while also retaining Rains.
Negotiations between Bonds and John Keker, one of the country's top—and most expensive—criminal defense attorneys, fell through last week over his fees and disagreements over control of the case, two people with knowledge of the negotiations said on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly.
A grand jury indicted Bonds last month on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice.
Criminal law experts also said Keker may have faced conflict of interest issues because his firm represented the Major League Baseball players union in its unsuccessful lawsuit to prevent investigators from getting the names of some 100 players who tested positive for performance enhancing drug use in 2003.
So Bonds is still interviewing criminal defense lawyers, and is being advised by San Francisco civic leader Daniel Walter Sorenstein, and trial lawyer and deep-pocketed Democratic donor Joseph Cotchett, who was once the law partner of the judge presiding over Bond's case.
The career home run leader and former San Francisco outfielder likely faces a maximum of two years in prison if convicted.
Bonds' legal problems began with his testimony in December 2003 before a grand jury investigating a performance enhancing drug ring centered at the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative in Burlingame. Five men involved in the ring, including BALCO founder Victor Conte, Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson and track coach Remi Korchemy have pleaded guilty to drug charges.
George Walker, who represented Korchemny, said he's been interviewed by Bonds' representatives as a potential candidate. Walker said he had dinner with Bonds' business manager four months ago and has had several conversations since. But Walker said he hasn't heard anything from Bonds' camp lately.

COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF
KU TIP-OFF
AT AGLANCE
Kansas probably just played its best nonconference opponent of the season in USC and won despite playing an ugly game. That victory should give the Jayhawks confidence and let them know how good they can be when they do start playing better. Eastern Washington is not a very talented team. Kansas' only problem against the Eagles would be overlooking them because the game comes after a the victory against the Trojans and before a revenge game with DePaul on Saturday.

WHOTOWATCH
Tyrel Reed, Freshman guard.
Reed
Reed is almost back to full strength after spraining his ankle against Arizona 10 days ago. He's made seven of 13 three-pointers on the season, and has already
turned into a fan favorite in his limited role. If his ankle is OK, he should get plenty of minutes against the less-than-stellar Eagles and get an opportunity to add to his three-point-shooting totals.
TUNING UP FOR DEPAUL No freshman phenom in this game
QUESTION MARK
Why couldn't Kansas have scheduled this game last year? A game against Eastern Washington last season would have been much more interesting. The Eagles weren't NCAA-caliber team back then, but they did have Rodney Stuckey, a legitimate scoring threat who would have been first team all-conference in any league. Stuckey, who wasn't recruited by major programs out of high school because of his grades, left as a sophomore to enter the NBA Draft. He was picked 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons. If Stuckey was playing, the Eagles could have at least kept the game close.

"They ought to give him 4 points from where that guy shot that from. The kid made a big shot."
— Tim Floyd, USC coach, on Mario Chalmers' shot Sunday.
"We were supposed to put that game away. I think we turned it over twice during that stretch, and we and made it very entertaining for fans. That shouldn't happen with a veteran ball club, and hopefully it won't happen again"
-Bill Self on not being able to close out Sunday's game.

Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Russell Robinson, 8-0th, 7 senior guard Robinson's defensive performance on O.J. Mayo during the UC game was the main reason Kansas won that game. He's only made eight of his 27 three-pointers this season, but those numbers will improve.

Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
Eastern Washington 4-6
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Robinson upstaged Mayo defensively while Chalmers outdueled him offensively. Although Chalmers scored 17 points in the second half and made the most important shot of the game, he still needs to become more consistent.

Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard Stewart came through in the clutch with an important pass to Chalmers at the end of the USC game. Self wants him to improve defensively though.

The Eagles' leading scorer and rebounder is in his third season with Eastern Washington after transferring from Highline Community College. Williams lack of size could hurt him against Kansas' frontcourt.

Arthur really disappointed on Sunday against the Trojans' highly touted big man duo of Taj Gibson and Davon Jefferson. Part of the problem could be the guards' inability to get the ball down low, but Arthur needs to start getting open and demanding the ball.
BREWER
Darrell Arthur. 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
Matthew Brunell, 6-feet-8 sophomore forward Eastern Washington is seriously devoid of height. Brunell plays because he has it. But his 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game are not very encouraging.

marcus Hinton, 6-feet-3 senior guard
Hinton is fourth on the team in scoring with 7.0 points per game. But the Tacoma, Wash., native refuses to shoot from the outside. He only has six attempts in nine games.
Marcus Hinton, 6-feet-3 senior guard
Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward
★★★☆★★
Robinson may have been the MVP of the USC game, but Jackson deserves some special mention. He rebounded plenty of Mayo's missed shots on his way to a season-high 13 rebounds.
Gary Gibson, 6-feet-1 sophomore guard Gibson is a transfer from Miami Dade Junior College. In his first nine games, he has played 24.2 minutes, registering 5.7 points per game.

THE SIXTH MAN
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 guard.
Kansas looks pretty on offense. The ugliness needs to stop soon, Sure, the Jayhawks are winning games, but they need to start playing more fluidly on the offensive end to have true success. Part of the reason the offense has struggled can be traced to the absence of Sherron Collins. He made the offense go and took away some of the pressure from Russell Robinson. Eastern Washington likes to play a somewhat fast tempo so this could be a good game for Kansas to regain some offensive swagger.
CHEMISTRY
Rush had played well since coming back from ACL surgery until Sunday against USC. He missed three-pointers and
lay-ups. He played like the injury affected him for the first time this season.

PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF...
Kansas' rebounding regresses. The Jayhawks had their best rebounding game of the year against USC, and it was one of the main reasons they won. Darnell Jackson led the way with 13 rebounds, and he'll have to get at least eight rebounds per game for Kansas to be successful on the glass. Darrell Arthur also needs to step up because Sasha Kaun will likely continue to be inconsistent. Against a team like Eastern Washington, whose second-tallest starter is 6-foot-4, Kansas needs to win the rebounding battle by about 10 boards.
EWU TIP-OFF
ATAGLANCE
Give Bill Self credit. He's given his team a tune-up game for everyone of its big non-conference games. First, Kansas warmed up for Arizona with Northern Arizona. Then the Jayhawks feasted on Florida Atlantic before taking care of USC. The next big-name opponent? Depaul on Saturday. But first, Kansas gets Eastern Washington. The Eagles are 3-6, but are coming off a 65-54 victory on Monday. This game could have featured former Eagle Rodney Stuckey, an honorable-mention All-American last season as a sophomore. But Stuckey chose to enter the NBA draft and was picked 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons. Too bad, the Jayhawks probably could have used Stuckey to get jazzed about playing a team that finished 15-14 in the Big Sky conference last season.
WHO TO WATCH
Now that Stuckey is gone, the name fans need to know is junior forward Kellen Williams.
No, not Kelter Williams. He's the jam band magician. This is Keller Williams from Seattle, Wash just jams basketballs. He's leading Eastern

Williams
Washington with 10.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. The question is whether Williams will be effective when matched up with Kansas' big men, Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun.
Bill Self
QUESTION MARK
When will Kansas lose? With Arizona and USC behind them, the meat of Kansas' non-conference schedule is over. Road Trips to Georgia Tech on Dec. 18 and Boston College on Jan. 5 loom, but the Jayhawks might not be truly tested until their conference opening game at Nebraska on Jan. 12. And if the current Associated Press Top 25 holds true, Kansas won't face a ranked opponent until its Feb. 5 tussle with Texas.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"Just as we did against teams like Washington State, Washington and Michigan, we are going into that game trying to get better. We haven't deviated from that. From day one it's been about preparing for Saturday, Dec. 22 and our first conference game against Portland State. Nothing has changed. We took a step back in the right direction against Missouri-Kansas City, and I absolutely expect us to go in the right direction on Wednesday in Lawrence."
Eastern Washington coach Kirk Earlywine

But it's still a far cry from past seasons.
Most teams have improved in depth over the last few years. They've had more yards per punt and more field goals.
But they also have seen improvements in their defense. They've been able to block better passes than ever before.
In addition, the defense has improved in its ability to stop opposing players. They're now able to stop more passes than ever before.
The defense has improved in its ability to throw better defensives. They're now able to throw more punts than ever before.

Team rolls to 4-0 record
**PART ONE**
**SOLUTION FOR THE LINEAR EQUATION**
The linear equation is $2x + 3y = 10$. To solve it, we need to find the x and y coordinates of a point that lies on the line. This can be done by substituting different values for one variable into the other and solving the resulting system of equations.
Let's start with the value $x = 4$. Substituting $x = 4$ into the equation $2x + 3y = 10$, we get:
$$2(4) + 3y = 10$$
$$8 + 3y = 10$$
$$3y = 2$$
$$y = \frac{2}{3}$$
So the solution is $(4, \frac{2}{3})$. We can verify this by plugging these values back into the original equation.
$2(4) + 3(\frac{2}{3}) = 10$
$8 + 2 = 10$
This confirms that $(4, \frac{2}{3})$ is indeed a solution to the linear equation.
**PART TWO**
**SOLUTION FOR THE COTERNAL EQUATION**
The coternal equation is $2x - 3y = 5$. To solve it, we need to find the x and y coordinates of a point that lies on the coternal line.
Let's start with the value $x = 3$. Substituting $x = 3$ into the equation $2x - 3y = 5$, we get:
$$2(3) - 3y = 5$$
$$6 - 3y = 5$$
$$-3y = -1$$
$$y = \frac{1}{3}$$
So the solution is $(3, \frac{1}{3})$. We can verify this by plugging these values back into the original equation.
$2(3) - 3(\frac{1}{3}) = 5$
$6 - 1 = 5$
This confirms that $(3, \frac{1}{3})$ is indeed a solution to the coternal equation.
**PART THREE**
**SOLUTION FOR THE PERPENDICULAR EQUATION**
The perpendicular equation is $2x + 3y = 10$. To solve it, we need to find the x and y coordinates of a point that lies on the perpendicular line.
Let's start with the value $x = 6$. Substituting $x = 6$ into the equation $2x + 3y = 10$, we get:
$$2(6) + 3y = 10$$
$$12 + 3y = 10$$
$$3y = -2$$
$$y = -\frac{2}{3}$$
So the solution is $(6, -\frac{2}{3})$. We can verify this by plugging these values back into the original equation.
$2(6) + 3(-\frac{2}{3}) = 10$
$12 - 2 = 10$
This confirms that $(6, -\frac{2}{3})$ is indeed a solution to the perpendicular equation.

PART I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, we will discuss the concept of a binary tree and its properties. A binary tree is a hierarchical structure that consists of nodes (trees) linked in such a way that each node has at most two children. The nodes are represented as binary numbers, which form the basis of the binary tree.
The properties of a binary tree include:
- **Node ID**: Each node in the binary tree has a unique identifier.
- **Parent-child Relationship**: There is a parent-child relationship between any two nodes.
- **Breadth Order**: The nodes are arranged in a hierarchical order from left to right.
- **Height**: The height of a binary tree is the number of nodes it contains.
- **Depth**: The depth of a binary tree is the number of levels it has.
- **Order**: The order of the nodes in the binary tree is the same as the order they appear in.
Part II: BINARY TREE OBJECTS
A binary tree object is an instance of a binary tree class. It can be created using a constructor or a method that takes parameters.
class BinaryTree {
    private Node root;
    public BinaryTree() {
        root = null;
    }
    public BinaryTree(Node[] nodes) {
        root = new Node[nodes.length / 2];
        for (int i = 0; i < nodes.length / 2; i++) {
            root.insert(nodes[i]);
        }
    }
    public void insert(Node node) {
        if (!root.isRoot(node)) {
            root.add(node);
        } else {
            root.right.push(node);
            root.left.push(node);
        }
    }
    public void remove(Node node) {
        if (root.hasChild(node)) {
            root.remove(node);
        }
    }
}
Part III: PATTERNING
Patterning is a technique used to identify and manipulate patterns in text. In this chapter, we will explore pattern matching algorithms and their applications.
Pattern Matching Algorithms:
1. **Regex Patterns**: These are regular expressions used to match specific characters or sequences within strings.
2. **String Matchers**: These are functionally similar to regex but do not require special syntax.
3. **Regular Expressions**: They use a set of rules (patterns) to find matches in strings.
Applications of Pattern Matching:
- **Web开发**: For HTML parsing, where patterns help to identify specific HTML elements.
- **数据库查询**: For searching and filtering data based on specific criteria.
- **数据挖掘**: For analyzing patterns in large datasets to discover patterns and trends.

21. Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the diversity of life on Earth, encompassing a wide range of species and habitats. It includes the genetic variation among individuals within a species, as well as the geographic distribution of its populations.
Biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance and stability. It helps regulate climate change by stabilizing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Biodiversity also supports food webs, which are complex networks of interactions between species.
To preserve biodiversity, it is essential to adopt sustainable practices such as reducing pollution, conserving natural habitats, and promoting genetic diversity among species. Public awareness campaigns can also help raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and encourage people to take action to protect it.

Jayhawks break out in 2007
S. A. LEE
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Crazy, Inconceivable. Absurd. Pick any adjective you want, but nothing can accurately describe this 2007 college football season. It will go down as the wackiest ever, and possibly as the one that ruined the BCS.
Appalachian State won at Michigan. Stanford won at USC. Hawaii is the only undefeated team remaining, Nebraska and Notre Dame are big losers. A two-loss team will play in the national title game. And oh yeah, Kansas went 11-1 to clinch its best season ever. We should have known a season like this would boil over from Boise State's implausible, trick-play-aplenty upset against Oklahoma in last season's Fiesta Bowl.
Parity in college football is shining through the blinds and waking up the doubtters. After a different
top 2 almost every week, did anyone emerge from the regular season? Right now, at least eight teams could make an argument to play in New Orleans for the title.
The spread offense reigns supreme. A great quarterback could be found just about anywhere. Coaching is improving from coast to coast. And the Jayhawks have taken full advantage of the modern college football landscape. The two biggest differences between this season and last was the hiring offensive coordinator Ed Warriner and the emergence of stellar sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing.
Parity wrecked havoc on tradition, and there's no doubt it is great for college football — especially for Kansas fans.
Warriner's no-huddle, spread-out scheme complemented by timely play calling a breath of fresh air compared to former offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro's bubble screens, shovel passes and third-and-long draws that were drawn up from the dark ages. Kansas learned that the best teams score lots and lots of points and decided to try it out.
But a successful spread offense
needs to be run by a general, someone who can survey the field and almost always make the best decision. That's Todd Reesing, of course. Reesing is a lot like Bill Whittemore, Kansas' quarterback from 2002-2003 who pioneered Kansas football's greatness almost by himself — Kansas was 0-5 in games without Whittemore. The biggest difference between the two quarterbacks is the amount of talent they have to work with and how prone they are to injuries.
Whittemore was hurt every season he played college football, but Reesing hasn't shown any signs of slowing down after taking a big hit. Seriously, when was the last time a Kansas quarterback made it through every game of the season as the starter? It's never happened during the Mangino era until now. And Whittemore didn't have the plethora of receivers that Reesing has at his disposal, let alone a top-notch running game.
All the pieces fell into place for Kansas this season. The Jayhawks have been on the verge ever since the days of Whittemore, but never have they had such good luck: no Texas, no Oklahoma, no decent teams on
the nonconference schedule, a relatively injury free season, and most importantly no blown leads in the fourth quarter. Thank the Kansas defense for that one.
Against Kansas State, Colorado and Texas A&M, the defense came up with huge stops very late in each game to deliver three huge road victories. Last season, I remember Toledo, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Baylor and Oklahoma State driving down the field with ease when they needed to the most. That didn't happen this season.
Even if Kansas mostly beat a bunch of cupcakes, it won 11 games. If you remember the Terry Allen years, you can appreciate this level of success even more. If anything, Kansas was supposed to slowly crawl up the ladder to earn its place among the nation's best teams. The Alamo, Gator or Holiday Bowl would have been good enough for any Jayhawk fan before the season. But instead, these Jayhawks are BCS bound and not one person predicted it.

So take it all in and savor every moment, because college football is so unpredictable right now that you never know when Kansas' ride could end.
These players, moments shine through
KANSAS OFFENSIVE MVP
Junioroffensivetackle Anthony Collins — Todd Reeing may have received the lion's share of the attention for Kansas' offensive explosion this season, but there were other players who contributed to the sixth-best offense in the nation. Anthony Collins was the player responsible for protecting Reeing's blind side from oncoming pass-rushers and plowing downfield to open holes for running back Brandon McAnderson. He performed those tasks admirably and earned All-Big 12 First Team recognition for his efforts. When Collins was hampered by an injury late in the game against Missouri, it was painfully apparent how much he had helped Kansas all season: Without Collins at full-strength, Todd Reeing was often left unprotected and susceptible to big hits.
KANSAS DEFENSIVE MVP
Senior defensive tackle James McClinton — At first glance, there's nothing phenomenal about McClinton. The 285-pound defensive tackle is a bit undersized and he didn't finish as one of the team's top five tacklers. But the Garland, Texas, native dominated the line of scrimmage more often than any other defensive end in the conference and earned All-Big 12 First Team honors. With McClinton occupying two or more offensive linemen on nearly every play, junior defensive ends Russell Brorsen and John Larson were free to cause mayhem in opposing backfields. Though Aqib Talib was the defense's lone All-American this season, McClinton may have made a bigger impact on the game on a more consistent basis than any player.

4. THE ROCK CHALK CHANT IN MANHATTAN
For the first time since 1989, Kansas fans chanted Rock Chalk in Manhattan as Kansas defeated Kansas State for the second consecutive season. The Jayhawks went into the game as road underdogs but came away well-respected and earning votes in the Top 25 polls. The Wildcats entered the matchup as a Top 25 team coming off of a resounding victory at Texas and quickly became one of the Big 12's worst teams. Kansas finished the regular season 11-1 and Kansas State finished 5-7 and out of bowl contention. The Oct. 6 victory stood out as a feather in Kansas' cap and another strange chapter in a topsy-turvy college football season.

Punt returner Raimond Pendleton returned a Central Michigan punt 77 yards for a touchdown in the first game of the season. Coach Mark Mangino didn't have a problem with that. But Mangino did take issue with Pendleton's celebratory leap into the end zone. Upon returning to the sideline, Pendleton received the tongue-lashing of a lifetime from Mangino, who used some colorful language to illustrate his stance on players participating in individual celebrations. By the next day, the clip — audio and all — had been posted on YouTube, and Mangino's diatribe was the hottest thing to hit cyberspace since the heyday of "Star Wars Kid". Although some boosters expressed discontent about Mangino's choice language, the episode reinforced the coach's tough, team-first approach.

>> KANSAS 52, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 7
Offense shines in opener
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
It didn't take long. Three minutes into Saturday's season opener, Kansas coach Mark Mangino made one quick decision — to go for a first down on fourth-and-one. His choice set the tone for the Jayhawks' 52-7 victory against Central Michigan and helped to reinforce the confident mindset he said the team had carried over from preseason camp.
The Kansas offense had seemingly stalled on its second possession. After a five-yard run, a short pass and a failed third-down conversion, the Memorial Stadium air seemed as lifeless as it had for most of 2006. But Mangino strayted from the stale tendencies of Kansas teams in the past. Instead of bringing out the punt team on fourth down, Mangino left his offense in the hands of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing, who connected with senior tight end Derek Fine for a seven-yard gain and a first down.
Mangino said he had discussed fourth-down possibilities with offensive coordinator Ed Warinier earlier.
"We've taken on a whole new mentality here on offense," Mangino said. "I told Ed Warinner at the beginning of the week, 'You'd better have some fourth-and-shorts or fourth-and-medium ready, because we're going for it.' We're going all out — we're not holding anything back at any time."
Kansas overmatched Central Michigan in every aspect of the game
After Fine's first-down reception, Kansas marched 52 more yards for its first touchdown of the season — a three-yard pass to Fine — and the beginning of a game-long offensive explosion.
during the first quarter. In the first 15 minutes of play, the Chippewa was mastered only one first down, committed three penalties and punted three times. Kansas flourished. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson punished the Chippewa defense early and often. He tallied 66 rushing yards in the first quarter and finished the game with 110.
Kansas' newly established no-huddle offense never gave the Central Michigan defense a chance to catch its breath. Just three minutes after the first Kansas score, Reeing stretched the Kansas lead to 14-0 when he fired a bullet to freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe in the front corner of the end zone. Briscoe withstood a punishing hit from senior safety Curtis Catts but managed to maintain control of the ball. The 16-yard reception was Briscoe's first career catch.
"It was amazing. I just didn't know what to do because I was kind of shocked — I thought they were going to call me out of bounds," Briscoe said. "My adrenaline was pumping a little bit too much for it to hurt, but my chin-strap was unbuttoned a little bit."
"I carry myself at a high level, and I expect a lot from myself." Reeing said. "If I expect that high level out of myself and everyone else sees me doing that, they say, Hey, he's working hard, and he really wants this. There must be some reason — we must have something
The Reesing-to-Briscoe connection further illustrated Kansas football's ambitious philosophy. Reesing was making his debut as a starting quarterback, and Briscoe was playing his first collegiate game. Reesing played impressively in preseason practices, but his 20-of-29, 261-yard, four-touchdown performance was nearly flawless. Reesing was not too surprised by his final stat line.
special going here!"
On offense, Kansas called upon young players like Reeing, Briscoe, sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton and sophomore running back Jake Sharp to inject some energy into a team of low-key veterans.
It definitely worked. Pendleton returned a punt for a touchdown with 6:08 to play in the first half to stretch the Kansas lead to 28 points and further disarm Central Michigan. Sharp enjoyed his best performance as a Jayhawk, rushing 15 times for 106 yards and a third-quarter touchdown. And Reeing was unquestionably the offensive player of the game for Kansas.
Dexton Fields carries the ball in the game against Central Michigan. Fields rushed 49 yards during the game, and Kansas defeated Central Michigan 52-7.
Reesing showcased pinpoint accuracy on the first-quarter touchdown passes to Fine and Briscoe, flashed his deep-ball ability on a 49-yeard heave to junior cornerback Aqib Talib and showed the ability to escape pressure and take as few hard hits as possible, taking only one sack.
KANSAS 88 20
"His night was impressive. You wish your quarterback would be impressive every night like that — you hope that he will — but I can't say I'm totally shocked by it." Mangino said. "He has this competitive spirit about him that is hard to describe."
On defense, freshman cornerback Chris Harris did more than enough to bring life to Memorial Stadium. Harris drew what looked like an unfavorable matchup against Central Michigan's star wide receiver, sophomore Bryan Anderson. Despite giving up five inches and 25 pounds to Anderson, Harris held his own. Anderson never fell into rhythm with sophomore quarterback Dan LeFevour and finished the game with seven catchs and only 62 yards.
"I would say for a true freshman — based on what I saw from the sideline — it was a doggone good game

for a guy whose last game was in high school", Mangino said. "I'm pretty proud of him."
By halftime, the lajahaws had raced to a 35-0 lead. They did not pull any punches early in the second half. The Kansas defense brought heavier blitzes and ensured that Central Michigan would not inch any closer. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton was quick off of the line of scrimmage, and junior linebackers Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen hammered LeFevour on several occasions.
junior Patrick Resby and sophomore Darrrell Stuckey was airtight for the entire game, and the defense as a whole only allowed one sustained drive, which resulted in a Chippewa touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter.
"It was awesome. The secondary was locked down," Mortensen said. "They caught a touchdown late, and we were disappointed we couldn't get the shutout, but, along with the corners and safeties, we all played well as a team."
Kansas executed to near perfection on Saturday night. But it wasn't pure athleticism that earned the 45-point
margin of victory. It was the guile of a coaching staff who dared to insert untested players into a new system and the all-out mentality of those players that separated Kansas from Central Michigan.
"I tell our players all the time, 'Everybody's got a weight room. Everybody's big and strong.'" Mangino said. "The teams that win are the guys that have the mental edge. And on offense, defense and special teams, we had it tonight."

>> KANSAS 62, SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA 0
Jayhawks start slow, recover with easy victory
afusco@kansan.com
BY ASHER FUSCO
For nearly seven minutes, Kansas didn't dominate Southeastern Louisiana. For the remainder of Saturday's 62-0 victory, the Jayhawks ran roughshod over the Lions.
"I'm pleased with all three phases of the game," coach Mark Mangino said. "We stopped the run, we played the pass well, our special teams were sharp and our return and coverage teams were good. PAT's, field goals — all of it."
But it took a few minutes into the game for the Jayhawks'gears to start turning.
When Kansas took over on offense for the first time with 13:32 to play in the first quarter, it gained 12 yards and a new set of downs on its first play from scrimmage. A quick touchdown drive seemed inevitable, but Kansas only gained seven yards on the next three plays and punted the ball after burning only two minutes off of the game clock.
The next time the Jayhawks had the ball, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing forced another punt when he badly overthrew freshman wide receiver Tertavian Ingram. Five minutes into the game, the favorite had not yet begun dismantling the underdog and the crowd of 43,912 grew restless.
The Lions managed to keep their heads above water for the first quarter's first half, but it took just 11 seconds for the Jayhaws to assert their dominance with nine quick points — all scored on special teams plays.
The collapse happened with about 630 remaining on the clock in the first quarter. Southeastern Louisiana prepared to punt from its own 28-yard line after hanging in the game early and ceding only two first downs on Kansas' first two possessions. Junior long snapper Kyle Tutor launched the snap over the outstretched arms of junior punter Cody Samples. By the time Samples caught up to the errant ball, it was bouncing out of the end zone for a safety.
Kansas junior wide receiver Marcus Herford then returned the ensuing free kick 74 yards for a touchdown. Herford's teammates provided several good blocks, leaving Herford streaking down the east sideline with just one Lion to beat — freshman kicker Danny Hrapmann. Herford slowed his stride at the 20-yard line, then blew by the kicker on his way to the first
kick-return touchdown of his career.
"I knew I had to score because, if I didn't, I knew my teammates were going to let me have it," Herford said. "I was just excited to finally get into the end zone and help our team get extra points on the board."
With a bit of momentum in tow, the Kansas offense came alive. In the second quarter alone, senior running back Brandon McAnderson plowed into the end zone twice, and Reesing completed six passes for 156 yards. The Jayhawks followed Herford's touchdown with three scoring drives in as many chances and entered half-time nursing a substantial 29-0 lead.
The Lions received little relief in the second half. The Jayhawks marched 50 yards on the opening drive of the half and took a 32-0 lead on a 33-yard Scott Webb field goal. By the middle of the third quarter, Kansas had added another safety and a Dexton Fields touchdown reception to the deficit. With about five minutes to play in the third quarter, the Kansas second-stringers trotted into the game.
With sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier at the helm, the lajhawks moved the ball down the field with ease. Meire threw a touchdown pass to sophomore running back Jake Sharp.
Later in the fourth quarter, Sharp and freshman running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson each scored a rushing touchdown to put the finishing touches on the blowout victory. It Boyd-Anderson's first touchdown.
"I didn't think it was my personal best performance," Reeing said. "I didn't think I was real crisp throwing the ball tonight and a lot of passes didn't come off of my hand really well. That happens, and luckily we were able to do a great job defensively."
At times the Kansas offense did not look as smooth as it did against Central Michigan. Reeing failed to improve on his impressive season opener but still tallied an efficient 257 yards on 13-of-23 passing.
"I'm especially pleased with the defense," Mangino said. "I thought the defense was really impressive. We stopped the run, played the pass well
The Kansas defense did not exactly have its hands full with a Southeastern Louisiana offense that struggled earlier this season against New Mexico State, which finished near the bottom of the Western Athletic Conference in 2006. Despite the relative weakness of Kansas' opponent, the stifling defensive performance drew plenty of praise from Mangino.
and gave us great field position the whole night."
Impressive could be a bit of an understatement. The Lions managed only eight first downs and 75 total yards. Southeastern Louisiana's run game — the strength of its offense — totaled negative 31 yards on 29 carries. The Lions' offensive line looked overmatched on nearly every snap as Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton made five tackles, three of which resulted in lost yardage, and one sack.
When the defense stymied Southeastern Louisiana, the offense did not have too much trouble finding the end zone. Despite the Lions' aggressive defensive scheme, Kansas put together more than 500 yards of total offense for the second straight game. Mangino said it was hard for Kansas to get a feel for Southeastern Louisiana's blitzes early in the game, but he said Reeing did a good job making adjustments as the game progressed.
"It was a blitz-fest out there. They blitzed on every single down, just about," Mangino said. "it's been a long, long time since I coached in a game where a team blitzed as much as they did."
Senior running back Brandon McAnderson saw the majority of the playing time on Saturday because of his pass-blocking abilities. He finished the game with 60 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Sharp played for most of the third quarter and totaled 32 yards and one rushing touchdown on only eight carries.
Kansas' top two running backs combined for only 19 carries, which reinforced the strength of the defense and special teams. Handed a 9-0 lead that was never in question, the offense enjoyed a pressure-free evening.
"After getting some three-and-outs on offense, the special teams plays really helped us," senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said. "Getting points on special teams gave us more of a push — we just wanted to score more."
Score more was what the Kansas offense did. The 62-point outburst is the most any Kansas team has scored since 1994. In fact, Kansas had never scored more than 50 points in back-to-back games before this season. Though Kansas faced a lower-division opponent on Saturday, the Jayhawks played well enough to beat most any team.

Jayhawks aerial attack downs Rockets
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
On Saturday, junior Agib Talib was the high flyer. After a first-down passing play from the Kansas 42-yard line fell apart, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing rolled out to his right with a defender in hot pursuit. At the last possible moment, Reesing found Talib standing wide open at the 25-yard

receiver Marcus Henry dropped a near-touchdown pass in the first quarter, forcing Kansas to settle for a field goal with 6:01 to play in the first quarter. Several more drops by Kansas wide receivers kept the offense from putting many points on the scoreboard early, despite the lavahwaks' 373 first-half yards.
"It really shows a little bit about our team that we didn't start off strong and we were a little inconsistent in the beginning, but we were able to bounce back," Reesing said. "We made some big plays, guys stepped up, and I think we started the second half a little better and started clicking on offense."
"Aqib made a lot of plays, and when he gets the ball in his hands, he's a playmaker," Mangino said. "He's a guy that in practice makes plays and then brings it out here to the game field. He's an exciting player and a very, very talented young man."
Talib's touchdown reception gave the Jayhawks a 10-0 lead at the conclusion of the first quarter and helped spark the 45-13 Kansas victory. The Toledo Rockets, who faced a 17-point deficit at halftime, failed to crawl any closer and fell to 0-3 on the season. The win kept the Jayhawks undefeated in 2007 at 3-0.
Though Kansas enjoyed a healthy lead from the start of the second quarter, the Jayhawks got off to a slow start for the second consecutive game. Senior wide

Rockets did not score until the final two minutes of the first half, and their lone first-half touchdown was the result of a turnover deep in Kansas territory.
Pendleton misplayed a punt at the 21 yard line, and Toledo linebacker Terrell Willis recovered. On the next play, Toledo caught Kansas off guard when wide receiver Nick Moore caught a lateral screen pass, then threw it back to quarterback Aaron Opelt for a 21-yard touchdown. The role-reversal trick brought Toledo within 10 points, but the Jayhawks answered quickly with a five-play, 60-yard drive that finished with a Reesing touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe.
Once Kansas had a substantial lead, the Rockets never threatened. Kansas forced three turnovers on interceptions by Talib, sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey and junior
defensive end John Larson. Larson returned his interception 12 yards to the one-vard line.
"I was pretty excited when I realized I caught the ball, and I figured I should probably go for the end zone," Larson said. "It was pretty frustrating not getting in. I kind of put a move on the guy at the end — I guess I should have just powered my way in."
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, senior running back Brandon McAnderson finished what Larson started, scoring a touchdown just minute later. After McAnderson's touchdown run near the end of the third quarter, Kansas led 38-7. Once the fourth quarter began, the Kansas backups trickled in from the sidelines. The second-string players did not fare poorly against Toledo but did allow the Rockets a touchdown with five seconds remaining in the game. Kansas' game on Saturday was similar to its first two of 2007: the Jayhawks dominated their opponents in almost every statistical category and left little doubt as to which team was superior. But even in such a lopsided affair, Mangino said there was room for improvement.
"It thought early in the game we didn't take care of the ball well, and we had a couple of drops," Mangino said. "But I think we overcame that, and the kids persevered and kept at it."
The touchdown from Reesing to Talib served as a turning point and helped the Jayhawks overcome their early follies. Before Talib's touchdown, Reesing was 4-of-9 with 58 passing yards. After the catch, Reesing picked up his level of play, throwing for 255 yards and three more touchdowns. Talib appeared several more times on offense, reeling in two receptions for 62 total yards. He also stood out at cornerback, recording six tackles in addition to his interception.
"Playing offense is a lot of fun, but it just depends on how the defense is doing." Talib said. "We
weren't on the field a lot tonight so I had a little bit more energy, and coach figured I could play a little more offense."
In addition to Talib's wellrounded performance, Kansas received quality offensive contributions from McAnderson, sophomore running back Jake Sharp and junior wide receiver Dexton Fields. McAnderson scored two
touchdowns and tallied 52 rushing yards. Sharp ran the ball only 13 times but gained 9.8 yards per carry and finished with a career-high 127 yards. Fields caught only two passes but ran one of them 26 yards for a touchdown.
Kansas $ ^{c} $ convincing victory avenged a double-overtime loss at Toledo last season in which the Jayhawks collapsed repeatedly
under pressure from the Rockets. The 2007 Kansas team's positive response to last year's defeat underscored what Mangino said was the Jayhawks' mental edge. That mental edge served Kansas well on Saturday evening.
Aqib Talib's leaping ability didn't hurt either.

KANSAS 55, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 3
Talib's big return highlights blowout
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
JOUNGER 14 87
Junior defensive lineman Russell Brorsen puts pressure on Florida International quarterback Wayne Younger. The Jayhawks defense kept the Golden Panthers out of the end zone.
Patience paid off for the few thousand fans who stuck around for the duration of Kansas' 55-3 victory over Florida International.
Trailing by 38 points early in the fourth quarter, Florida International quarterback Wayne Younger heaved a
pass toward the end zone and into the waiting arms of Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib. Talib gathered the ball several yards deep in the end zone and sprinted forward without hesitation.
The Kansas defenders turned

into blockers and formed a wall as Talib raced down the left sideline. By the time he crossed midfield, he was heading diagonally toward the end zone with just a few offensive linemen to beat. Sophomore safeties Justin Thornton and Darrell Stuckey teamed up to bring down the last Golden Panther standing in the way as Talib sprinted into the corner of the end zone.
"That was one of the best plays I've seen from a defensive performer in my career," Kansas coach Mangino said. "I've had the good fortune to be
around a lot of quality defensive players - All-Americans, first-round draft picks - and that was one of the most impressive plays that I've seen. The people in the stadium tonight to see a real treat."
MARK MANGINO Kansas football coach
Though the
Though the game was well under control at the time of Talib's interception, the sensational play added fitting punctuation to a completely dominating performance from Kansas. The Jayhawks outgained the Golden Panthers 615 yards to 255 despite running only three more plays and holding the ball for five fewer minutes than their opponents. The Jayhawk victory moved Kansas to 4-0 on the season and dropped Florida International to 0-4.
Though the final score accurately depicted the imbalance on the field, matters could have been much worse for the Golden Panthers. Kansas senior running back Brandon McAnderson fumbled twice in the first half and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing misfired on a fourth-and-seven deep in Florida International territory early in the second quarter.
McAnderson finished the game with 105 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Reesing bounced back from some early-game incompletions and an interception in the third quarter by finding receivers all over the field and scrambling for positive yardage when the pocket collapsed. Reesing, in just his four game as a starting quarterback, completed
The Jayhawks only led 10-3 at the end of the first quarter, but picked up the pace of the offense in short order. Kansas scored 10 points on drives of 66 and 56 yards in the second quarter, relying on the arm of Reesing and the legs of McAnderson to move the ball down the field.
"We're winning the ones we are supposed to and there was a time when that didn't happen. Overall, progress was made."
"I felt like I needed to make up for some of the mistakes that I made," McAnderson said. "The best part about it was having my teammates' and coaches' support. They made my mistakes seem like our mistakes and I got back on track."
"He's doing a lot of positive things," Mangino said. "He seems to improve every week. When he sees an area that needs some work

he seems to get it rectified."
Reeing and the rest of the Kansas offense did not have to piece together many long drives because the defense stopped Florida International dead in its tracks on the majority of its possessions. The Jayhawk defense forced eight punts, five turnovers and one turnover on downs, giving the offense outstanding field position – the Jayhawks' average starting point was their own 37-yard line. The only time the Golden Panthers turned a possession into points was late in the first quarter when a 54-yard drive
resulted in a field goal by kicker Chris Abed.
"They played hard and we didn't execute," Florida International running, back Amod Ned said. "I don't get into rating teams, but I know they are a great team. They handed it to us in
every phase of the game."
The slow start of the lajayh offense was also taken out of focus by some spectacular work by the special teams unit. After losing seven yards on their first possession, the Golden Panthers lined up to punt the ball away from their own 8-yard line.
Junior wide receiver Raymond Brown broke through the line of
blockers and swatted the ball as it left the foot of punter Chris Cook. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis fell on the ball before it could sneak out of the end zone, giving Kansas a quick seven point advantage just two minutes into the game.
"It took all of the pressure off of the offense," McAnderson said. "We won the field position battle, came away with three-and-outs and scored on turnovers. The defense and special teams are actually part of our offense."
But the Jayhawk offense might not have needed the help on Saturday night. Eleven Jayhawks caught passes, four scored offensive touchdowns and three ran for over 40 yards.
Sophomore Kerry Meier was the most versatile Jayhawk of all. He lined up at wide-out, in the backfield and
as a slot receiver in the first half and returned to quarterback in the fourth quarter. Meier's final stat line was bizarre: 15 receiving yards, six rushing yards and 23 passing yards. But his appearance in the multi-dimensional role was about more than padding the stat book.
"Kerry is too good of an athlete to spend all of his time on the sideline," Mangino said. "He will continue to play and contribute to our program in a number of different ways."
The cushion afforded by the mismatch allowed the coaching staff to throw a number of new wrinkles into the offense. Senior tight end Derek Fine became the teams go-to receiver, catching seven passes, and sophomore running back Jake Sharp enjoyed an expanded role in the passing game, making three receptions.
For the fourth consecutive game, Kansas did not go head-to-head with a powerhouse program. Instead, the Jayhawks cut their teeth on lower-
level competition and emerged victorious with a generous number of points to spare.
"There are a lot of teams that were tested with games that they were supposed to win and ended up with a lower score, but we didn't," Mangino said. "We're winning the ones we are supposed to and there was a time here when that didn't happen. Overall, progress was made."

Kansas ends Manhattan losing streak,30-24
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com

Junior defensive end Russell Brorsen celebrates with junior defensive back Aqib Talib and sophomore defensive back Darrell Stuckey after a big play. The Kansas defense powered the Jayhawks to the team's first victory in Manhattan, Kan., since 1989.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
MANHATTAN. Kan. — It took all of eight seconds for Todd Reesing's impressive progress as a starting quarterback to come to a screeching halt. But 59 minutes and 52 seconds of football later, Reesing stood atop the world of Kansas football after engineering a 30-24 victory, the Jayhawks first at Kansas State (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) since 1989.
Kansas (5-0, 1-0) won the coin toss and elected to take possession of the ball in an attempt to silence the rowdy crowd of more than 50,000. After the opening kickoff sailed through the end zone for a touchback, Reesing and the Jayhawks took over at the 20-yard line with junior cornerback Aqib Talbil and sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier lined up at wide receiver.
The ensuing play was not quite as exciting as the KU formation. Placed under duress by the KSU pass rush, Reesing unleashed a medium-length pass that was adeptly snatched from the air by Kansas State sophomore free safety Chris Carney. At that moment, the optimism spurred by Kansas' 4-0 start seemed to evaporate. Fifteen minutes and only 38 yards of Kansas offense later, the Jayhawks trailed their in-state rivals, 7-0, after one disheartening quarter.
clinging quarters.
"Our first quarter was pretty poor," Reesing said. "We didn't get things clicking like we wanted to at the start of the game. I think we just had to get settled and used to playing on the road in a new environment."
Playing in a new and hostile environment certainly has not been Kansas' strong suit during coach Mark Mangino's tenure. Entering Saturday, Kansas had won only two of its 20
Big 12 road games. Mangino only had one road victory in the last year-and-a-half to his name — at Iowa State in 2006. After they walked off of the field Saturday, the Kansas players said they felt a new confidence surrounding the 2007 team.
"That was the kind of game we would've gave away last year with all of the immaturity we had on the field," Talib said. "This year we have more experience and we kept our confidence at the end of the game. The offense got first downs when last year we would have put the defense back on the field. As a team, it's a big win and a big step for us."
OVERCOMING EARLY ADVERSITY
The Jayhawks, still relatively inexperienced after playing their first four games of 2007 at home, had plenty to overcome Saturday afternoon.
Kansas State swung the momentum even further midway through the first quarter when sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman threw a perfect strike to senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who beat Talib down the sideline and raced 68 yards to the end zone. The touchdown, scored by Kansas State's most potent offensive weapon at the expense of Kansas' most acclaimed defender, brought the fans to fever pitch and buried the Jayhawks under a sea of noise and rotating power towels.
The Kansas offense punched back early in the second quarter with a quick 86-yard scoring drive. Reesing and sophomore running back Jake Sharp were the stars of the drive for Kansas. Reesing scrambled 10 yards to convert on third-and-four, and Sharp gained 40 yards on four carries, the last of which resulted in a touchdown and a 7-7 stalemate. Reesing and Sharp, the two smallest players on the field for much of the afternoon, often shouldered an enormous load. Reesing completed 22-of-35 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns and Sharp gained 77 yards on 17 carries, scoring once.
"Me and Todd have a certain element of swagger about us," Sharp said. "I guess we have little man syndrome — a chip on our shoulders. If somebody says that we can't do something, it's like, 'Well, watch this.'"
Kansas State did not stand by idly and watch Kansas take control of the game. The Wildcats traveled 80 yards on 11 plays on their next drive to take a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter. But the Jayhawks did not wait long to showcase their resilience, as junior defensive end Russell Brorsen intercepted a pass at the Kansas State 44-yard line, sparking a quick six-play drive that ended with Talib catching a five-yard touchdown that helped wash away the memory of Nelson's first-quarter score. Talib's score was his fourth receiving touchdown of the season and stretched his streak of games with a touchdown to six dating back to last year.
THE SECOND HALF
The Kansas defense and offense each buckled down in the third quarter. The defense held Freeman to 5-of-11 passing and forced the Kansas State offense to punt twice and settle for a field goal late in the period. The offense moved the ball with ease, as Reesing engineered an 80-yard scoring drive in fewer than four minutes. Beginning in the third quarter, the Wildcats brought blitzes of all varieties from their 3-4 defensive set, leaving open lanes for senior Brandon
McAnderson, who finished with a team-high 81 yards on 12 carries.
"They tried to bring pressure — they tried to man up and play some zone, and it worked." Mangino said. "They did some good things, but we had a good feel for the run game. They were giving us some opportunities in the run game because they were worried about some things in the pass game."
The Kansas defense was able to hold Kansas State to just seven points in the fourth quarter, providing all
the cushion Reeing and the Jayhawk offense would need. With 7:32 remaining in the game, Reeing completed two quick passes to push the Jayhawks to the Wildcat 30-yard line before firing a touchdown pass over the middle to junior wide receiver Dexton Fields. The Jayhawks would not relinquish their 27-24 lead over the final 6 1/2 minutes of the game, thanks to interceptions by Talib and junior cornerback Kendrick Harper.
Kansas displayed some of the
attributes it had obviously lacked in the past several years. The Jayhawks showed enough fight to overcome a slow start, enough heart to overcome a bevy of screaming fans and will allow to tame a Top-25 opponent.
"This was a hard fought game," Mangino said. "I'm especially proud of our players, who overcame some adversity. They never gave up and kept making plays on offense and defense."

KANSAS 58, BAYLOR 10
Rain or shine, Jayhawks storm past Baylor Bears
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe pulls in a pass against the Baylor secondary. Kansas rolled over Baylor and moved its conference record to 2-0.
For almost two hours, Mother Nature spared the Baylor Bears a resounding defeat. But the Kansas Jayhawks spent the rest of Saturday afternoon making up for lost time and delivering an emphatic blowout victory that extended the Kansas winning streak to six games, ensured bowl eligibility and helped push the team to No. 13 in the BCS standings.
After a 98-minute pregame rain delay and a 30-minute lightning delay in the first quarter, Kansas (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) defeated Baylor (3-4, 0-3) 58-10. Strong thunderstorms steadily pummed Memorial Stadium throughout the morning, soaking the turf and driving both teams' players to the shelter of the locker rooms. Kansas did not burst out of the gate when the game finally started, instead relying on special teams and defense to spark a slow, steady and convincing victory.
"It got to be kind of a long day" Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "I was just concerned about the kids wearing down in the second half a little bit, but they didn't. They were very focused, and I think they handled the delays very well because we didn't make a big deal about it."
Neither team emerged from the extensive pregame delay looking sharp. Kansas lost two yards on its first possession, and Baylor gained just four yards on its first drive before punting. Kansas' special teams gave the sleepwalking offense an early boost when Baylor junior wide receiver Joe Bennett misplaced a punt return with 10:54 remaining in the first quarter. Kansas senior tight end Derek Fine recovered the fumble at the Baylor 36-yard line.
Kansas only managed two first downs on the resulting possession, but senior kicker Scott Webb converted a 27-yard field goal to give the Jayhaws a 3-0 lead. Baylor hung in the game for the next four minutes, finishing a 50-yard drive with a game-tying field goal.
That field goal would be the last good fortune the Bears would stumble upon for quite some time. Kansas junior wide receiver Marcus Herford fielded the ensuing kickoff at the 12-yard line and followed his blocks perfectly up the middle of the field. By the time Herford shot past midfield, no Baylor defenders remained between him and the end zone. As he crossed the goal line, a bright yellow lightning bolt shot out of the clouds east of the stadium, prompting a half-hour delay.
Once the teams returned to the field, the Bears found themselves face to face with another flood: the Jayhawk offense. Baylor could not find a way to plug the holes in its defense or track down Kansas running backs. Kansas scored touchdowns on three
of its four second-quarter possessions. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp sparked the jayhawk offense, gaining
52 yards on nine carries in the second quarter alone. The bad weather seemed inconvenient for the jayhaws at the

time, but it allowed the coaching staff to evaluate and change its game plan.
"It was kind of nice that we were able to make some adjustments and things like that in the locker room," Mangino said. "Although our coaches couldn't come downstairs, we got information from them and presented it to the kids. It was kind of like hockey - we had two intermissions."
Baylor scored its lone touchdown when sophomore wide receiver David Gettis returned a kick 97 yards for a touchdown. Baylor's inability to score an offensive touchdown and failure to put together a drive longer than 50 yards reinforced Kansas' defensive dominance.
Junior linebackers Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen frequently found their way into the Baylor backfield, and the Kansas secondary intercepted four passes. Baylor's only measure of offensive success came from of senior running back Brandon Whitaker, who gained 54 yards rushing and 45 receiving.
Baylor's best asset — its versatile passing game — was hamstrung by Szymanski's inaccuracy and costly interceptions. The quarterback entered the game having thrown only nine interceptions in six games but threw three Saturday, thanks to pressure from the Jayhawks' defensive line. By the fourth quarter, Szymanski was standing on the sideline, replaced by junior quarterback Ryan Roberts.
“If you can rattle up the quarterback, then he'll know that you're coming,” senior defensive tackle James McClinton said. “He'll be noticeing the pressure coming from the defensive line when he's trying to throw the ball.”
Though Kansas recorded only one sack, by freshman defensive end Jake Laptad, the team's starting linebackers combined for 21 tackles.
The strong effort of the jayhawk defense simplified the game for the offense. The unit was charged with an easy task take over deep in Baylor territory and deposit the ball in the end zone against an overmatched defense. Kansas receivers struggled to separate from defenders and dropped a few passes, but sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing scrambled out of several potentially disastrous situations and the Kansas offense accumulated points quickly in the second half.
"In the pass game, we weren't very crisp," Reesing said. "We had some big plays and guys making catches, but we also dropped a few balls and I made some poor passes. But we're not going to press much. We're just going to look at film and make the adjustments that are necessary."

Also, the Jayhawks' sixth win secured bowl eligibility for the third consecutive season, an achievement that Kansas players and coaches barely acknowledged at a post-game press conference.

The win lifted Kansas to its best start since 1992 and moved the team into 13th in the BCS standings, just ahead of perennial powers USC and Florida. The Jayhawks' blowout win over especially well with the computer rankings that factor into the overall BCS ranking — Kansas earned the eighth-highest computer ranking in the nation.
Despite a miserable 2-for-10 passing performance in the first quarter, Reesing finished the game with 186 yards and two touchdowns and avoided throwing an interception.
"The kids don't care," Mangino said. "They've set their sights so high that I don't think it's even entered their minds."
The nonchalant reaction to the news of bowl eligibility, which the fans shared, illustrated a change in the attitude surrounding the football program. When Kansas won its sixth game in 2005, fans deposited the goalposts in Potter Lake. At the conclusion of Saturday's game, the fans who stuck around until the end of the rout made the sixth Rock Chalk chant of the season sound almost routine.

On third-and-four from his own 17-yard line, Kansas sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing dropped back to pass. As was often the case against the solid Colorado secondary, the quarterback could not locate an open receiver. Instead of forcing the ball to a covered teammate, Reesing doubled back toward the right sideline and took off running downfield.
The dropped passes, costly penalties and mental mistakes that played a large role in Saturday's game allowed the rare moments of eye-pleasing football to stand out even further. The game's most awe-inspiring offensive play, which came late in the first quarter, gave Kansas the upper hand early.
The quick quarterback scamper past the Colorado defensive linemen and the first-down marker.
Just when it appeared Reeing might head for the safety of the sideline, senior wide receiver Marcus
Henry and senior tight end Derek Fine each latched onto a Colorado defender and opened a wide path for their quarterback.
Reesing didn't beat the last Buffalo defender to the goal line, but he did advance the ball to the Colorado 30-yard线 — just close enough for the layawks to take a 3-0 lead on a
"It was either throw the ball away or try to make a play," Reesing said. "I'm going to try to make a play in any situation. Luckily we got some blocks, and things worked out."
48-yard field goal by senior kicker Scott Webb two minutes later.
Before Reeing broke the ice with his 53-yard dash, each team struggled
to fall into an offensive rhythm. On its first two drives combined, Kansas gained just 31 yards on 10 plays. Colorado enjoyed a bit more success on its first two possessions but turned the ball over deep in Kansas territory to set up Reesing's run and Kansas' first score.
"We did an awesome job to drive them into their territory." Colorado freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins said. "But we had a fumble and a couple of dropped passes and missed throws that killed drives. It was definitely a bummer."
DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL
The Jayhawk offense appeared short on solutions for Colorado's defense for most of the first half, but the defense forced two turnovers and allowed just 130 yards of offense before halftime. In addition to senior running back Hugh Charles' first-quarter fumble, Colorado missed an opportunity to tie the game heading into halftime when Hawkins threw an interception with five seconds remaining in the first half.
Before the pick, the Buffaloes sat at the Jayhawks' 27-yard line, safely within field goal range, with time running out in the first half. On third-and-one, Hawkins threw a pass but failed to loft the ball above the outstretched arms of a Jayhawk defensive lineman. The ball floated in space for a split-second before Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton snared it. McClinton made an awkward dash in the general direction of the Colorado goal line but quickly fumbled the ball in an unsuccessful attempt to lateral the ball. Unfortunately for the Buffaloes, McClinton's interception had taken them out of field goal range, and they returned to the locker room trailing
3-0 at halftime after a failed Hall Mary. After forcing one turnover in the first two games of the season, Kansas has forced eight in its last two contests.
"We're playing a little better as we go on," junior linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "We're getting a little more pressure on the quarterback and we always fly around to the ball, so that helps us force turnovers."
The lajahawks continued to use takeaways to their advantage in the second half. Nursing a scant 10-7 lead midway through the third quarter, Kansas needed to stop a Colorado offense that had driven 80 yards for a touchdown just two minutes earlier. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton provided that stop with an exceptional interception at the Colorado 37-yard line. The lajahawks capitalized on Thornton's third interception of the season with a quick field goal to take a more comfortable 13-7 lead.
After the Kansas defense lent the offense a hand in the first three quarters, the offense returned the favor in the final 15 minutes of the game. The lajayhaws built one of their most impressive scoring drives of the season early in the fourth quarter, marching 94 yards on 15 plays and draining more than seven minutes from the clock.
A vast cast of characters contributed to Kansas' touchdown drive, which put the team ahead 19-7 with 10 minutes 17 seconds to play. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson carried the ball twice for 17 yards, sophomore running back Jake Sharp ran five times for 20 yards and Reesing completed all seven of his pass attempts, including a four-yard touchdown toss to Fine.

"They came up to stop our quick
slants, so it opened up the run game," Sharp said. "Me and Mac were able to get some things done because the line blocked great and I think we won up front today."
Reeing finished the game 20-of-29 with 153 passing yards and a teamhigh 84 rushing yards. Sharp had 53 rushing yards, and McAnderson had 44 of his own.
GAME ON THE LINE
But Kansas' work was not finished after the impressive touchdown drive. Colorado answered seven minutes later with a touchdown of its own to cut the margin to five points, 19-14, and took control of the football with 2-16 remaining. The Kansas defense was faced with two options: hold its ground or lose the game.
It went above and beyond the call of duty, pushing Colorado back eight yards over the course of four plays. Hawkins could not connect with freshman wide receiver Josh Smith on fourth-15, turning the ball and the game over to the still-undefeated Javahawks.
"It was great," junior cornerback Aqb Talib said. "The defense stepped up in the fourth quarter and showed the world what we can do."
For the seventh consecutive game, Kansas displayed all the makings of a great football team. The offense endured more than 50,000 rampant Colorado fans, the coaching staff improvised masterfully and the defense stood up to intense late game pressure.
Saturday's game may have been ugly, but Kansas left Folsom Field with something pretty — an unblemished 7-0 record.

Hawks snap 7-game losing streak against Aggies
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - For the Texas A&M Aggies, few things are more simple than converting on fourth-and-short: put Jorvorskie Lane in the backfield, hand him the ball, and let the 274-pound wrecking ball of a running back do the rest. When Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione put the tactic to use late in the second quarter, he failed to account for Kansas defensive tackle James McClinton.
As was the case many times on Saturday night, McClinton and the Kansas defense came up with a big stop on a crucial play on the way to a 19-11 victory. Kansas (8-0, 4-0) cemented its best start to a season since 1909, snapped a seven-game losing streak to Texas A&M (6-3, 3-2) and defeated a Big 12 South opponent on the road for the first time in the Mark Mangino era. The win slid Kansas into eight in the AP and Coaches' Polls as well as the BCS rankings.
With just more than three minutes remaining in the first half and the score tied at zero, Texas A&M had finally found some offensive rhythm. The Aggies sat entrenched at the Jayhawks nine-yard line after pushing 71 yards on nine efficient plays. Facing fourth-and-one, many teams might have elected to attempt a chip-shot field goal to take the lead, but Texas A&M decided to hand the ball to Lane, their short-yardage weapon.
Lane took the handoff from quarterback Stephen McGee and leaned toward the left side of the offensive line. As the powerful back neared the first-down marker, McClinton managed to impede his progress just enough for his Jaihawk teammates
to bring Lane down short of the marker for a loss of two yards.
"He's a big boy, but we came as a unit and we brought him down," McClinton said. "I got him in the backfield, but he's so big that I just held onto his shirt and my teammates came and helped me."
The play served as a microcosm of Saturday night's game: the Kansas defense shut down Texas A&M's vaunted run game until sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and the Jayhawk offense could put points on the scoreboard. Texas A&M entered the game averaging 5.3 yards per carry but mustered just 2.7 against Kansas.
Lane gained just 23 yards as McClinton and sophomore defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley plugged the middle of the line. McGee, also a dangerous runner, struggled his way to a season-low 11 yards. Kansas junior linebackers James Holt and Mike Rivera held McGee in check, combining for 20 tackles.
"We really had to play the run well, and we did," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We felt like in order for them to beat us, they'd need to throw the ball, and that's not their comfort zone."
The Kansas offense picked up yardage with ease for much of the first half but repeatedly stuttered near the end zone. The layhawks entered the Aggies' 20-yard line twice in the first half, but senior kicker Scott Webb missed a field goal on both occasions, with the first try being blocked. The teams entered the half with the score balanced at 0-0, but Kansas raised its level of play in the third quarter. The Jayhawk offense scored on all three of its third-quarter possessions while the defense brought the Aggie rushing attack to a halt.
Reesing came out of halftime slinging the ball around the field, completing seven of eight passes on Kansas' first drive of the second half. The Jayhawks were able to exploit their opponents through the air because the Aggies made an exaggerated effort to stop senior running back Brandon McAnderson, who rushed for 100 yards in the first half alone and a career-high 183 yards total.
McAnderson, a bruising back who was cut from the same cloth as Lane, stood out as the most impressive runner on the field. He took advantage of great blocks from junior offensive linemen Anthony Collins and Adrian Mayes and repeatedly shot through the Aggie defense for impressive gains. McAnderson rumbled for gains of 20 and 33 yards in the second quarter and a career-long 40-yard rush in the fourth quarter.
"I just want to be a part of this offense and keep making plays here
and there," McAnderson said. "This is the kind of day that I could have or Jake (kind) could've had. The O-line played excellent and we had some success."
After Webb converted a 31-yard field goal to place Kansas on top, 3-0, the Jayhawk defense went to work, stopping the Aggies dead in their tracks on the ensuing possession. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib brought McGee down in the backfield on second down, and sophomore defensive end Jeff Wheeler forced McGee to commit an intentional grounding penalty on third down.
"On this defense we have a mind-set that we're not going to let up no matter what the score is or no matter
how much time is left," Holt said.
"I think we played well. We've been briefing all week and watching film on them so I think we had them down pretty good."
Kansas threw together an effective mix of running plays and passing plays on its next drive. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp ran three times for 19 yards, Reeing completed two passes for 29 yards and McAnderson rumbled into the end zone from six yards out to stretch the lead to 10-0 with 2.37 to play in the third quarter. The home team and its fans seemed thoroughly deflated after the third quarter, in which the Jayhawks outgained the Aggies 148 yards to nine and jumped to a commanding 13-0 lead.
But McGee and his teammates did not leave Kyle Field without putting a bit of a scare into Kansas. With their patented run-first style out of the question because of time constraints and the dominant Jaihawk defense, the Aggies defied convention and turned to the passing game for points.
"They make a living on running the ball and we knew we had to take that away, but McGee can throw the ball and I thought he did some good things throwing the football." Mangino said. "I wouldn't trade our guy for him, but I like him."
The first time the Kansas defense wavered on Saturday was in the fourth quarter. McGee completed 9 of 14 passes on a 70-yard, 16-play drive that ended with a Matt Szymanski field goal that finally put Texas A&M on the scoreboard with
7:20 remaining in the game.
After Scott Webb's third missed field goal of the evening with four minutes to play, Texas A&M again marched the length of the field and scored, this time on a 32-yard touchdown pass from McGee to wide receiver Roger Holland. The Aggies had trimmed the deficit to eight, 19-11, with just more than two minutes left, stirring the home fans into a frenzy and quieting the Kansas cheering section.
Kansas sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton fielded the onside kick adeptly, but the Jayhawk offense could not find its groove or even gain a first down, forcing a punt that sailed into the end zone for a touchback. Taking over with 52 seconds on the clock and 80 yards ahead of them, the Aggies flipped a switch and went into desperation mode. They advanced 28 yards to near midfield but could not convert McGee's last-ditch heaves into points.
As McGee's final pass fell incomplete and four zeroes stood still on the clock, Kansas held onto another zero for at least one more Saturday: the blank space in the loss column. At 8-0, the 2007 team stands as the best in the recent history of the program and the lone unscatted squad in the Big 12 Conference. In a college football season full of uncertainty and upsets, one of the biggest shocks in the nation has been the Jayhawks stability through their impressive undefeated run.

Blowout victory gains top-five ranking for Hawks
BY ASHER FUSCO 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.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
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," said senior wide receiver Marcus Henry. "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," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino. "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."
Sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing looks to make a pass. Reeing led the Jayhawks on a four-play, 61-1ard drive early in the second quarter, which extended the Jayhawks' lead to 14 points. Kansas defended Nebraska 76-39.
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 Purifoy, to crawl back into the game.
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.
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 and Kansas were tangled in a 28-21 shootout.
From that point on, Kansas patched up its imperfections and performed like the undefeated powerhouse the way it has all season.
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.
Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing led the jayhawks on a fourplay, 61-yard drive that lasted only one minute and seven seconds to extend his team's lead to 14 points.
Kansas single-game record with six touchdown passes. Briscoe caught three touchdowns, and Henry gained 101 yards on six receptions.

"We went right back to our fundamentals and focused on our responsibilities," said junior linebacker Mike Rivera. "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 things corrected."
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
"We have a lot of different things we can 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 left 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.
of the most disappointing teams in the nation, Kansas' decisive victory was impressive because the team did exactly what it needed to do: stay undefended 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 starts. In 2007, Kansas is that team.

>> KANSAS 43, OKLAHOMA STATE 28
Victory against OSU secures first10-0 record for Kansas since 1899
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 Jayhaws 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 their 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.
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 lajhayws, confronted with third-and-goal. Reeing took the snap from the shotgun formation, looked left to see senior tight end Derek Fine blanketed by two defenders and caught a glimpse of Henry streaking across the back of the end zone. Reeing's eye did not deceive him, and he delivered a perfect strike to the 6-foot-4 target.
"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 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 Agib Talib to seize. Talib returned the interception 17 yards and set up a 22-yard field goal by senior kicker Scott Webb that stretched the Kansas lead to 15 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."
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."
Talib made the game-altering 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, Reasing 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."
Reeing 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.
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
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."

KANSAS 45, IOWA STATE 7
Receivers shine at blocking
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 layhawks proved 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 Reesing added another brilliant chapter to an already-sparkling season.
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 for the sixth consecutive game, stretching his interception-less streak to 205 pass attempts.
"It it was 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."
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.
Freshman wide receiver, Eric Tyler, left, and junior linebacker Joe Mortensen, far right, try to stop an Iowa State player, center. The Jayhawks defeated Iowa State 45-7, extending their record to 11-0 for the season.
The lahayhaw's first score looked simple enough. Fields caught the ball near the line of scrimmage and jogged 17 vards 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 reed 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 afternoon. On several occasions, Fields 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.
"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."
The Kansas offense fired on all cylinders for the entire first half. After Iowa State 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 14-10 lead with 1:57 remaining in the first quarter.
After senior safety Sadiq Muhammed intercepted a pass from Iowa State quarterback Austin Arnaud, Reesing calmly led the offense on another long scoring drive. McAnderson and sophomore running back lake 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 Mortenzen to roam in the back-field. 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.
“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
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 43 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 in the final quarter, by which time the Jayhawks' starter had provided plenty of support

for his Heisman Trophy candidacy.
"He had another great night out," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He had good protection, and the receivers and tight ends ran good routes that gave him a chance to find holes in the coverage."
Kansas did what it was supposed to do on Saturday afternoon — roll over a helpless Iowa State squad. In the process, the layhawks did what no Kansas team ever has — win 11 games. All season long, Mangino has touted the teams' "one game at a time" approach. Turns out there might just be something to that mindset.

MISSOURI 36, KANSAS 28
Perfect regular-season record comes to an end at Arrowhead
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 Daniels' 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 that's 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 stands. Kansas left the stadium 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.
Jayhawks fall short against Tigers
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 line, but Missouri tight end Martin Rucker recovered the ball and scored on a oneyard pass three plays later. 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."
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.
Daniels' second touchdown pass
"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 down 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 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 wav the ball game went."
In the second half, the Tigers extended their lead by capitalizing on lajahawk 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 Jayhawks 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 Dezmir Briscoe's highlight-worthy catch was the key play of the drive.
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 undeafed 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 loudered 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."
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线.
Missouri kicker Jeff Wolfert made his second field goal of the game with 3:26 to play, leaving Kansas with little time to come back. Reeing and the Jayhawks responded with a 63-yard touchdown drive that took just 1:23. Reeing 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
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 Aqib Talib deep to return it. Without any blocking, Talib tried to shake away defenders but was quickly tackled.
touchdown.
Left with only 17 seconds to cover 89 yards, the Kansas offense could not muster any heroics. Missouri defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams sacked Reesing 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.

Eco-friendly holiday gifts can help save energy this season
Students should think green this holiday season as they participate in a time of increased consumerism and energy consumption.
Brian Rock, associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, said that it was difficult to remember to be environmentally friendly during the season but that there were little ways to include it in holiday festivities. Rock suggested using LEDs rather than incandescent holiday lights, regifting and using other materials, such as magazines, in place of wrapping paper.

LEGALLY TRIPPING
Some say salvia is a medicinal herb, yet seven states have outlawed it
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
Aurora Barker was looking for a quick high when her friend placed the olive-green dried leaves in the bottom of her funnel-shaped bong. She wasn't prepared for the ensuing high, which was unlike any other constant sweating, forgetting how to turn a doorknob and even forgetting how to speak English.

"It's like 10 hits of acid. You lose sense of reality, don't know where you are and forget everything. It's bad."
become the experimental drug of choice among some KU students looking for a new high. The herb has potential medical uses, including easing pain during medical operations, but students have used salvia for its quick-hitting hallucinogenic side effects, which include uncontrollable laughter, an inability to perform simple, everyday actions and continuous sweating. As a result, eight states, including Missouri, have made the herb illegal. Despite its ability to impair users, Lawrence Police can't prevent its use because salvia is legal in Kansas.
Topeka resident Cameron Carruthers, who graduated from the University in May 2006, said he had smoked salvia twice. The first time was at the Schwagstock music festival in southern Missouri, and the other was in his apartment. Carruthers, who was with his younger brother and a friend at the time, said he smoked the dried leaves of salvia in his two-foot bong. He had purchased one of the strongest types of the herb, and he said its side effects were a unique experience.
"It just hit instantly, I began profusely sweating, and I began rolling on the
ground." Carruthers said. "After five minutes, I began feeling really drained. It was a weird and intense feeling."
Prisinzano, an associate professor of medicinal chemistry who has been studying salvia for several years, said the herb could be best described as a hallucinogenic drug. He said it was not similar to marijuana. Unlike marijuana, the side effects of salvia typically last no longer than 15 minutes. Prisinzano said that although
definite side effects have not been documented, users report laughter and a sensation of motion — the sense of being pulled back by forces. He said the high could be a good or a bad experience.
"It's a mixed bag from what I've been told by people," Prisinzano said. "Some people say it's great, and they enjoy it, while others will say it was the worst experience in their entire lives." Carruthers said his experience was too insane to be

Bailey Hall has rich historical significance
In the basement of New Chemistry Hall. 102 years ago Friday, two KU chemistry professors discovered helium in natural gas. Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey, former professor of chemistry, helped oversee the historic discovery.
In 1938, Chemistry Hall was renamed Bailey Hall in honor of the popular teacher. Through the years, the hall has been home to many academic departments, including the School of Education.
Helium was discovered in the basement of New Chemistry Hall, shown here under construction in 1899. The building was later renamed Bailey Hall, in honor of a noted KU chemistry professor.
In 2000, it was designated a National Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society, and in 2001, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In the coming years, more than a million dollars' worth of repairs are planned to modernize the hall.

Odd NEWS Manhattan's Serendipity 3 back in business Tuesday
NEW YORK — The home of the $25,000 dessert is back in business after health officials concluded it was no longer home to mice and cockroaches.
Serendipity 3, a popular tourist destination on Manhattan's East Side, was allowed to reopen Tuesday, about three weeks after the restaurant was shuttered because of rodent infestation.
The famous sweet shop was closed Nov. 14 after it failed two inspections in a month. Inspectors spotted mouse droppings, fruit flies, house flies and more than 100 live cockroaches.
City Health Department spokeswoman Jessica Scaperotti said the restaurant had failed an inspection on Friday after mouse droppings were spotted. But it passed a followup inspection Monday night.
She said Wednesday that the agency would go back within 30 days for another inspection.
Serendipity's delectable menu items sometimes have patrons standing in line for hours to get inside. Its $25,000 Frrozen Haute Chocolate — featuring top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle — was declared the most expensive dessert by Guinness World Records. It also offers a $1,000 sundae named Golden Opulence, requiring 48-hour advance notice.
Detective requests rehire after failing drug test
NEW YORK — A counterterrorism detective who says his failed drug test came because his wife had spiked his meatballs with marijuana has filed a lawsuit to get
his job back.
Anthony Chiofo asked the court to declare that his firing in August from the New York Police Department was unreasonable and unconstitutional, to declare that a damning hair sample was improperly taken and to order his rehiring with back pay plus interest, seniority and all benefits.
Chiofalo, a 22-year veteran assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, was suspended without pay in November 2005 after a random drug test found marijuana in his system. He denied using drugs and demanded a hearing.
During an investigation, Chiofalo's wife, Catherine Chiofalo, said she secretly put enough marijuana for about six cigarettes in her meat ball recipe in July 2005, hoping a failed blood test would force him to retire, court papers say.
Catherine Chiofoalo, according to court papers, testified at the hearing that she"just wanted my husband not to die of a heart attack or get killed. I wanted him to be around to help raise my son."
The couple later took and passed lie-detector tests about how the marijuana was ingested, Anthony Chiofalo's court papers say.
Chiofalo says his wife had marijuana at home because she used it to relieve nausea caused by medications she took for back pain. He said he did not know where she got it.
An administrative judge recommended that Chiofalo be reinstated. But police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who has the last word on firings, rejected the recommendation and fired Chiofalo.
CINCINNATI — Two college students say the high cost of tuition led them to rob a bank.
Men blame bank robbery on high tuition costs
A police department spokesman, John Kelly, said in an e-mailed comment on Chiofalo's firing. "The officer's excuse was not credible."
The men pleaded guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery and six charges of kidnapping. They face 20 years in prison when sentenced Dec. 27.
Tuition at the University of Cincinnati runs about $9,400 a year; University of Toledo costs about $7,000 a year.
Andrew Butler, 20, a theater major at the University of Toledo, told Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Steve Martin on Monday that tuition increases outpaced his scholarships and financial aid.
Armed with guns and wearing masks, Butler and Avery made off with $130,000 from a crowded Valley Central Savings Bank in suburban Reading on July 17, said Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Brian Goodear.
Christopher Avery, 22, who was studying engineering at the University of Cincinnati, said he couldn't pay for summer classes after an internship at a grocery store fell through.
"I was strapped for cash," Avery said. "I thought I had nothing to lose."
The men were caught after trying to switch cars. A witness who thought they were acting suspiciously called police.
An attempt to rob a check-cashing business a day earlier was thwarted when the students couldn't get through the business security system despite firing four shots at the bullet-resistant glass, Goodyear said.
Both were being held in a county jail without bond.
Texas police catch escaped kangaroo after chase
LEWISVILLE, Texas — Lewisville police had to hop to it to catch a kangaroo who fled from a veterarian's vard.
"Maynard" the red kangaroo is back at an animal hospital after a frolicking chase that was video-taped by a patrol car's camera.
Police joined animal control officers Sunday after getting a call about a kangaroo dashing around a neighborhood.
Their footage shows Maynard bouncing around while people chase the 18-month-old, 3-foot-tall kangaroo.
Dr. Kyle Jones took Maynard home for the weekend so the animal could graze and run in the vet's back yard. A wooden gate blew open and Maynard got out.
The animal eventually will be placed with a zoo.

The three-minute clip, posted Friday, had been viewed almost 480,000 times on the video-sharing site as of late Tuesday.

Regifting, fake trees, adopting pets could save energy this holiday season
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
Elvis crooned about a "Blue Christmas" and Bing Crosby dreamed of a "White Christmas," but this year many students hope to have a green Christmas as they strive for more eco-friendly holidays.
Brian Rock, associate professor of civil architectural and environmental engineering, said it was easy to forget to be careful with resources during the holidays.
LEDs, light-emitting diodes, have become popular over the past few holiday seasons. Rock said the lights were more expensive but used 80 to 90 percent less energy than incandescent lights, which use only about 5 percent of their energy for light. Rock said LEDs would last longer, too.
Rock admitted that some eco-friendly gift ideas weren't romantic,
but said they would be beneficial in the long run. He said to refrain from giving electronics as gifts, because they were difficult to recycle and have short lives. Rock suggested buying "green gifts," such as a Kill-A-
big green gins, such as a turtle Watt, a power meter that measures
how much electricity a device is using. He said the meter also identified "electrical vampires," or items such as TVs, phone chargers and personal computers that use a lot of energy, even when they are in stand-by
wildlife-friendly items, adopting a pet from a humane society, or for that really special someone, a high MPG car, such as a gasoline-electric hybrid.
Whether to buy a live or fake Christmas tree has become a recent

or turned off. Also on Rock's list are multipacks of compact fluorescent lamps, low flow showerheads, homemade gifts, birdhouses or other
debate. Rock said he thought if someone took care of his or her artificial tree and kept it for many years, it might not use as many resources as a live tree does when it is grown, transported and turned into mulch. However,
many experts still say a live tree is the way to go, because artificial trees are petroleum-based and not biodegradable.
Eric Walther, owner of Strawberry Hills Christmas Tree Farm in Lawrence, said one acre of trees could replenish oxygen for about 18 people. He said a fake tree used several quarts of oil to be made. Walther also said the whole process of getting a real tree seemed more appealing.
"Think of the outdoor activity of going to get a real one, compared to going down to the basement to get a tree out of dusty old box," Walther said.
Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability, said many of the best ways to be eco-friendly were little things, such as being resourceful and using reuse bags to wrap gifts. He said when shopping, people should decide what they were buying and where they would shop beforehand to be an efficient shopper and use the most effective route of transportation.
"Just plan things out so you
simple ways to have a green Christmas
- Use LED lights
- Scale back on gift-giving
• Take your own shopping bag to the stores
• Carpool on shopping trips
• Use real dishware instead of paper plates and napkins at parties
- Make a holiday blog instead of sending Christmas cards
- Don't be ashamed — reg gift!
- Don't leave your holiday lights on continuously
- Don't use paper.
* Use other materials for wrapping paper.
don't become that mega-consumer" Severin said.
Severin said he enjoyed putting lights up outside his home, but used LEDs this year and had them on a timer that kept them on only from 5 p.m. to about midnight.
Megan Vaniman, environmental studies major and Kensal, N.D., senior, said students should use magazine ads instead for buying rolls of wrapping paper and should go gift shopping at vintage and used clothing stores for some great finds that also cut back on resources. She said
she planned to give some of her more interesting textbooks to friends she knew would enjoy them. This would cut out driving to the bookstore and spending money on new books.
Vaniman said she thought the "green revolution" was increasing in the U.S., and that the holidays were a good time to think about the concept.
"Consumerism, it's huge around the holidays," Vaniman said. "People go to the extremes."

SENATE TABLES
LEGISLATION TO STAND
AGAINST HATE CRIMES
Student Senate voted 25 to 24 to table a resolution to take an "active stance" against hate crimes at the University. The resolution was tabled indefinitely, meaning that Student Senate did not have an obligation to discuss the issue at future meetings.
Jason Orruch, a student senator who wrote the legislation after his fraternity house, Alpha Epsilon Pi, was vandalized with anti-Semitic phrases on Nov. 10, said he was offended that the resolution did not pass.
Max Schnepper, Glencoe, Ill.,
"Whether or not Senate is going to stand against hate crimes, action is going to be taken," Oruch said.
junior, and vice president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a fraternity comprised of Jewish men, said he felt the fact that Student Senate tabled the resolution was more racist than what happened to the fraternity house.
Student senators who were
Student senators who w against the resolution said that they were opposed to hate crimes, but felt that the bill did not have a real value in preventing future hate crimes.
Quinton Cheney, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said that he felt the resolution
"had no real purpose" because simply writing a resolution portrays a lack of ability to actually act against hate crimes.
Mason Heilman, residential senator, said he was against hate crimes, but he wanted to table the resolution indefinitely. He called it a "back-door" way to fail the bill without causing the negative media attention that might have been associated with

falling to pass something saying Student Senate was against hate crimes.
"It was more of a way to ward off the average person thinking that Student Senate was in any way, shape or form for a hate crime," Heilman said after the meeting.
Heilman said that a task force would have been a better way to respond to the incident.
Oruch said that he wished people
with ideas such as this had talked to him before the meeting about them, instead of tabling the bill.
"I would just wish that the people who had the opinion that it doesn't have an action had come up to me before hand, and we could have worked to include the actions they wanted," Oruch said.
Oruch said that Alpha Epsilon Pi would soon have a meeting to decide what the next step was in handling the incident.
CALENDAR COMMITTEE
In her officer report, Student Body President Hannah Love said that the calendar committee, a group under University Governance, passed legislation that would remove stop day from the 2012-2013 calendar.
Love, who ran last spring with calendar improvement as a platform issue, said that she was against this and had made several counterproposals to University Governance. One of them, she said, would break up finals week to allow students more time to study between finals.
She said that University Governance and the Provost's office said they were willing to work with Student Senate on the issue.
The University sets its calendar five years in advance.
ELECTIONS COMMISSION
Adam McGonigle, chair of the Student Executive Committee, presented six students for nomination to the election commission for the Spring 2008 election season.
The six students are:
Chairwoman - Adrienne
Colcher, senior in political science
Outreach Chairwoman - Emily
Outreach Chairwoman - Emily Williams. senior in education

SALVIA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
T
Andrew Wacker/KANSAN
Salvia is an herb that, when smoked, provides a short, intense high, which people often recalled causing them to forget where body parts were and giggle uncontrollably. Although it has been compared to marijuana, it is much different, providing a hallucinogenic effect lasting no longer than 15 minutes.
"It definitely shouldn't be legal anywhere," Carruthers said. "It's like 10 hits of acid. You lose sense of reality, don't know where you are and forget everything. It's bad."
One occasional user who defends salvia is Adrian Laurenzi, creator of SalviaSource.org, a Web site devoted to knowledge of the herb. Laurenzi, who has used salvia every few months for the past four years, said he recently volunteered to research salvia at the University of Arizona.
He said salvia could produce some unwanted side effects and some good ones.
"Mostly the experience itself is uncomfortable and often quite scary and unsettling." Laurenzi said. "But I mostly use it, to gain personal insights or explore consciousness."
Laurenzi said salvia gave users a sense of peace and a connection with their surroundings.
Despite her intense experience, Barker said salvia should remain legal. She
users quickly and intensely high has drawn a red flag, the herb also has potential medical benefits. Prisinzano said salvia could be used to help answer questions about some diseases.
"It's a unique plant in that it allows us to get insight into diseases such as Alzheimer's and develop antidotes," he said. Prisinzano said a lot of the body's central nervous system diseases are associated with hallucination. He said understanding how dementia was associated with Alzheimer's disease could allow Salvinorin A, a compound in salvia, to be used to get rid of those hallucinations.
said the high was more funny than scary.
"I'm glad it's legal because it's the funniest experience ever watching someone on it," Barker said. "But it's the craziest drug I've ever done, way crazier than any illegal drug I've tried."
"It's a unique plant in that it allows us to get insight into diseases such as Alzheimer's and develop antidotes."
Pristinzoa said salvia could also be used for treating drug abuse

Prisinzano said he was current-

a strong bitter taste and the side effects kicked in within ten seconds.
Saliva is illegal in Delaware, North Dakota, Tennessee and Missouri.
It can be possessed but not used in Oklahoma, Louisiana and Maine.
Salvia is legal in all other states.
Carruthers, who videotaped the experience, said he was profusely sweating, laughed a lot and thought he was Velcroed to an orange cube surrounded by faceless people.
he thought the risks of using salvia were too high. He compared salvia with hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Carruthers said that he used salvia multiple times and that the last time was his worst experience. He said he was at his brother's apartment when they smoked their newly purchased salvia out of a tall bong.
"I've done mushrooms, and salvia is an infinite amount of times stronger." Carruthers said. "If someone were to do this while driving a car, it would be a miracle to not crash the car."
"It was a very chill environment," Carruthers said of the night he and his brother smoked. He said when he inhaled the salvia leaves he got
"Judging by the video, I felt very agitated," he said.
Carruthers said.
H e said he remembered screaming, 'I'm going outside,' to the people inside the apartment with him.
"I felt like I wasn't in reality."
Possessing salvia is illegal in Delaware, North Dakota, Tennessee and neighboring Missouri. In Oklahoma and Louisiana, possession of salvia is legal, but using it is not. Maine has similar restrictions, allowing possession of the plant by people older than 18 years of age.

Laurenzi said that there wasn't enough evidence of its harmful effects for the federal government to ban salvia completely and that some politicians tried to ban salvia without having proper knowledge of it. Laurenzi cited U.S. Rep. Paul Ray, R-Utah, as an example. In 2006, Ray proposed a bill to Congress that outlawed salvia just days after a television news report about the herb aired in Utah. Similarly in 2002, U.S. Rep. Joe Baca, R-Calif., proposed a bill to Congress that called for salvia to be considered a controlled substance, which would make salvia illegal.
Kansas has yet to consider a ban on salvia. The legal herb can be bought in Lawrence at Persephone's Journey, 1103 Massachusetts St., a quaint, self-proclaimed emporium for unusual herbs and religious materials. The store sells a variety of incense, candles and herbs, including salvia for $12 per gram.
John Sloan, Persephone's Journey owner, said salvia's negative effects were exaggerated and no different from the side effects of drinking alcohol.
"They all just sensationalize it for publicity," Sloan said. He said the media began talking about salvia after ABC aired a news report about it.
The ABC report, "Salvia: Harmless Plant or Hazardous Drug?" aired after a 17-year-old Delaware student committed suicide by zipping himself inside a tent and lighting it on fire in 2006. The student had been using salvia for several months leading up to his suicide.
Laurenzi said he thought the student's parents blamed salvia for their son's suicide.
"At some level, it's conceivable because your child's suicide would be such an insane thing to deal with, but I think it was irresponsible to blame salvia with no physical evidence to back it up." Laurenzi said.
Yet the story still raised the question whether salvia should be legal for recreational use. Nick Raya, Hutchinson sophomore, said he started smoking salvia almost two years ago. He now smokes it "every now and then."
Raya said that he usually forgot what happened during his trips and that he had to be told what he did.
"It's the craziest thing I've ever done; most of my trips are very strong hallucinations," Raya said. "In the hallucinations, I see the walls moving and think people are talking to me."
Sgt. Troy Squire, director of the Lawrence Police Drug Enforcement Unit, said police were aware of salvia's use here but said they could do nothing about it.
Prisizano, the chemistry professor, said he thought salvia should be regulated, but that people would use it regardless of its status.
"People are ultimately going to do whatever they want to do," Prisinzano said.

HALLOWED HALLS OF HISTORY

One hundred and two years ago Friday in the basement of Bailey Hall, two KU chemistry professors made a scientific breakthrough that would change the world: the discovery of helium gas.
quire less of We're in the that's
pro should would
going do."
el Bock
Since its completion in 1900, Bailey Hall — then called New Chemistry Hall — has been a place of interest to students, teachers, scientists and historians alike. From the early days when its 32 chimneys puffed smoke because of the lab experiments inside, to when employees raised chickens on the top floor during World War II, Bailey Hall has housed numerous academic departments and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the coming years, the state is scheduled to allocate $1.8 million for building repairs to help preserve Bailey Hall's place in history.
A NEW DISCOVERY
In May 1903, a liquid air machine was installed in the building. The machine cooled air and turned it into liquid by using compression, which would later aid in the discovery of helium. Two hundred miles away in the town of Dexter, about 70 miles southeast of Wichita, a well emitted a strange new gas that
wouldn't burn. A hay bale was lit on fire and placed near the well. Townspepeople expected the entire bale to be Lit ablaze, but instead they were astonished when the flames were quickly extinguished by the eas come from the well.
This "Dexter gas" baffled Erasmus Haworth, state geologist and University geology professor for whom Haworth Hall is named. Haworth traveled to Dexter and returned to Lawrence with samples of the gas. Haworth and chemistry professor David McFarland studied the gas and found that it had only 15 percent combustible methane and contained a colorless, odorless residue.
The two reported their findings to the Geological Society of America and continued studying the gas McFarland and fellow chemistry professor Hamilton Cady continued studying the sample, but that process was delayed because they were busy with other experiments.
Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey, the building's nameake, grew up in Middletown, Conn., and came to the University in 1883 as the lone faculty member of the chemistry department. Caroline Bailey Bereneking, Bailey's 92-year-old granddaughter, recalled her grandfather, telling his fellow professors that while his cur-

patience with their lack of progress studying it was wearing thin.
"He told them two to get with it on that sawlite." Browbridge said.
Today, helium is mass-produced, and its many uses include filling balloons, and more.
On Dec. 7, 1905 in the basement of the hall, Mckairland and Cady discovered that the gas contained helium, an element previously thought to exist only on the sun and in rare mineral rock. Bailey then went before the American Chemical Society and made a nationwide announcement.
Helium wasn't widely produced in the years immediately following the discovery, but it played a decisive role in World War II. The U.S. Navy used helium-filled blimps ov

west edge of campus. The money came from the state legislature, and the idea for the building's design came from the East Coast.
After its completion, New Chemistry Hall became known on campus as "Bailey's Barn."

COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
"I just kind of floated by that building," she said.
In 1896, Chancellor Francis Snow noted that Chemistry Hall was overcrowded and dangerous. In 1899, the state allocated $5,500 for a new chemistry building. Bailey and architect John Haskell then traveled across the country looking at other chemistry facilities.
"I was too young to get much out of him." Berneking said.
Five years after Bailey's death in 1938, New Chemistry Hall was renamed Bailey Hall.
Bailey, a Yale graduate, taught chemistry, blowpipe analysis, pharmacy and other University courses. Bernickel said her grindfather had been interested in science even as a child. She described him as gentle and quiet and said she regretted that she didn't get to know him well. She was just 18 when he died.
Bernnecking attended KU as a piano major and graduated in 1937. She said that as a young girl, she didn't pay much attention to her grandfather's work.
EARLY YEARS
Professor of chemistry Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey works in his laboratory inside New Chemistry Hall in 1914. In 1938, five years after Bailey's death, the hall was renamed in his honor. Bailey Hall is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bailey helped design the building, and Haskell led the construction. The limestone came from a rock quarry near the building, which stood on what was then the
The roof featured 32 chimneys used to ventilate the labs inside, and it was deemed one of the most modern chemical facilities in the Midwest. But to Bailey, the building wasn't exactly eve candy.
"The building is plain and massive in construction," Bailey said in an undated University Archives document, "And while very little was expended for adornment, no expense was spared to secure the best practical conditions for chemical and pharmaceutical work, according to modern methods."
In 1954, the chemistry department and the School of Pharmacy moved to Maloit Hall. In 1956, the School of Education relocated to Bailey Hall. The inside of the building was remodeled, and airconditioning was installed. With no more chemical experiments in the building, the unneeded chimneys were removed.
CHANGING SCENERY
The original wooden door was replaced by the current glass, bubble-like entryway, giving students a covered place and more room to wait for the bus. Today, a gaggle of students gather inside the glass dome or wait on the sidewalk for the bus each hour.
Rowdy Wichman, Ellis sophomore, was waiting for a bus at Bailey Hall last week. Wichman said that he didn't know the building was a historical site but that the old buildings on campus added to his college
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
In 2000, the School of Education moved to Joseph R. Pearson Hall, and Bailey Hall became home to several academic departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. That same year, the American Chemical Society named Bailey Hall a National Chemical Landmark.
"You have to get your academics, but it's neat you get that culture around you," Wichman said.
experience.
Getting the hall added to the National Register of Historic Places was not an easy task, however. General criteria for properties to be added to the register list include the building being at least 50 years of age and a place where an important achievement took place.
Berneking said that in the mid-1990s, she met with Warren Corman, University architect and special assistant to the chancellor, and after years of wrangling; Berneking got her wish.
On Oct. 22, 2001, the hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its scientific and educational significance.
"I'm like a bulldog," she said. "I get my teeth in something, and I'm not gonna let it go."
In 2005, a microburst swept across campus and caused significant damage to the roof of the building. The root was replaced and a standing-seam metal roof, similar to the original one, was put on.
In the coming years, Bailey Hall is scheduled for more repairs. It doesn't have central air, and its heating, plumbing and electrical systems need upgrades.
Berneking said that she didn't make it to campus often but that when she looked at the building that bore her grandfather's name, she saw it unlike any other. She sees those gentle quiet eyes from long nea

Shoppers file out of the Von Maur store with their hands up after a shooting at Westbrooks Mall in Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday. A man opened fire with a rifle at the department store, killing eight people, while customers and employees hid in closes and dressing rooms on the store's second and third floors.
Gunman kills eight in mall
BY OSKAR GARCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — A man opened fire with a rifle at a busy department store Wednesday, killing eight people before taking his own life in an attack that made holiday shoppers run screaming through a mall and barricade themselves in dressing rooms. Five more people were wounded, two critically.
The gumman left a suicide note that was found at his home by his mother, said a law enforcement official who spoke under anonymity because he was not authorized to speak. TV station KETV reported that the note said he wanted to "go out in style."
The official identified the gunman as Robert A. Hawkins, age 20.
Witnesses said the gunman fired down on shoppers from a third-floor balcony of the Von Maur store. One witness told a TV station that he shot up a teddy bear as he sprayed fire on shoppers.
He was found dead on the third floor with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and his victims were discovered on the second and third floors, police said.
"My knees rocked. I didn't know what to do, so I just ran with everybody else," said Kevin Kleine, 29, who was shopping with her 4-year-old daughter at the Westroads Mall, in a prosperous neighborhood on the city's west side. She said she hid in a dressing room with four other shoppers and an employee.
Sgt. Teresa Negron said the gunman killed eight people, then apparently killed himself. Authorities gave no motive for the attack and said they did not know whether he said anything during the rampage.
Police received a 911 call from someone inside the mall, and shots could be heard in the background, Negron said. By the time officers arrived six minutes later, the shooting was over, she said.
The Omaha World-Herald reported that the gunman had a military-style haircut and a black backpack, and wore a camouflage vest.
"Everybody was scared, and we didn't know what was going on," said Belene Esaw-Kagbara, 31, a Von Maur employee. "We didn't know what to do. I was praying that God protect us."
Mickey Vickory, who worked at Von Maur's third-floor service department, said she heard shots at about 1:50 p.m.
She and her co-workers and
customers went into a back closet behind the wrapping room to hide, then emerged about a half-hour later when police shouted to come out with their hands up. As police took them to another part of the mall for safety, they saw the victims.
Keith Fidler, another Von Maur employee, said he heard a burst of five to six shots followed by 15 to 20 more rounds. Fidler said he huddled in the corner of the men's clothing department with about a dozen other employees until police yelled to get out of the store.
"We saw the bodies and we saw the blood," she said.

Travelers can get flu vaccinations while waiting at major U.S. airports
THE CITY OF LISBON
BY DANIEL YEE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — After taking off their shoes, emptying their pockets and passing through the security checkpoint, travelers at some major U.S. airports can now roll up a sleeve and get a flu shot.
"The convenience is great," Danny Manzon, a busy, 53-year-old restaurant consultant, said after getting vaccinated Tuesday at a kiosk in front of an AirTran gate at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He said he had wanted to get a flu shot for three months but never had the time.

For years, some airports have been offering flu shots to airline passengers before they cleared security. But many travelers were too afraid of missing their flights to stop.
So this year, airports in such cities as Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Newark, N.J., and San Francisco are setting up "airside" health stations close to the gates, past the security checkpoints.
The shots typically take just a few minutes and cost $15 to $35. So far, the airports in the five major cities have given out about 15,000 shots this season.
"It's helpful being on the airside because people don't know how long it's going to take get-
shots won't be protected right away. It takes about two weeks for a shot to offer full protection.
Airport health officials said
"They don't have time to go to the physician."
Getting vaccinated now offers plenty of time for the shot to take full effect before the peak flu season begins, typically after December.
DOMINIC MACK
Chief medical officer
Atlanta airport health station
Zampella, director of nursing and general operations manager of a service that is offering flu shots at the Newark airport.
The vaccinations are seen as particularly convenient for those who travel frequently on business.
"They don't have time to go to the physician," said Dominic Mack, chief medical officer of the service offering shots in Atlanta.
A outbreaks had eventually they may offer other vaccinations, too, as well as cholesterol tests and screening for high blood pressure.
"We're finding that's where people are," said Michelle Smith, spokewoman for
Airline passengers receiving the
Denver Health, which operates a clinic at the Denver airport.
Last year, Chicago's O'Hare Airport dispensed on 5,000 flu shots to passengers and employees from klosks next to gates.
"It itt over great," and the idea was expanded this year to Chicago's Midway, said John Zautke, medical director for the University of Illinois Medical Center at O'Hare.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Kill Bill' star's accused stalker refuses to plead
NEW YORK — A former mental patient accused of stalking Uma Thurman rejected a plea offer Wednesday that would have put him in a psychiatric facility and settled charges against him.
Jack Jordan, 35, refused to plead guilty to attempted coercion, a felony the court would have reduced to a misdemeanor once he completed at least a year of a mental health program.
Defense lawyer George Vomvolakis said Jordan would consider pleading guilty to a misdemeanor with commitment to a psychiatric program.
Jordan was arrested in October on charges of stalking the 37-year-old actress for two years, including trying unsuccessfully to get into her trailer on a Manhattan movie set and sending Thurman and her family members numerous e-mails.
He has been free on $10,000 bail.
He has been free on $10,000 bail. The coercion charge stems from Jordan allegedly saying in an e-mail that he might kill himself if he saw Thurman with another man, prosecutors said.
Jordan, a graduate student at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., lives with his parents in Massachusetts.

NEW YORK — Jenna Bush, phone home.
The first daughter appeared nervous when Elen DeGeneres asked her to call her parents during a taping of DeGeneres' talk show Tuesday. The show ailed Wednesday.
"No, they're going to be thrilled." DeGeneres said. "Why wouldn't they want to say 'hi' to everybody and say Merrv Christmas?"
"They're going to kill me," the 26-year-old told DeGeneres. "I'm going to be in so much trouble."
"They may have wanted some warning," responded Bush, who was

"Oh, she's great. She's scared she's going to get in trouble because I just said. Is it easy to just pick up the phone and call your dad anytime?" DeGeneres said. "And now she's scared she's not going to get any Christmas presents."
So the president got on the line: "How's my little girl doing?"
"I do want to say Merry Christmas to your audience, and I want to tell my little girl love her"; the president said.
"I love you too, Dad," Jenna responded.

Bush said he wasn't angry.

THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT
Special needs children deserve a chance
Women should consider all of the information when deciding to whether to raise a child with Down Syndrome
CASSIE GENTRY
My mom is a para-
professional, and she has worked with special needs children for as long as I can remember. When she got pregnant at 40, she was given an amniocentesis, the test which, among other things, looks for Down Syndrome in the baby. I was 12, and I remember asking what she would do if she found out the baby had Down Syndrome. She said, "I'd love it, the same way I love you and your brother." My mom wasn't concerned with the deficiencies her child might have; she just felt lucky to be able to have a baby so late in life.
Unfortunately, not all potential mothers feel the same way. In fact, according to the Lawrence Journal World, doctors estimate that as much as 80-to-90 percent of women terminate their pregnancies upon learning that their future child will have mental or physical disabilities, such as Down Syndrome.
This has prompted Kansas Republican Senator Sam
The bill, while a step in the right direction, is not a quick fix for this problem. Deciding to terminate your pregnancy is a serious decision, and if women are convinced to do it with little information, then more information will only impact a few women.
sas Republican Senator Sam Brownback and Massachusetts Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy to collaborate on the "Down Syndrome Bill," which, if passed, would obligate doctors to give patients more information when mothers learn their baby will be born with special needs.
EDITORIAL BOARD
I felt heartbroken when I saw the sky-high percentage of women that terminate pregnancies that will result in babies
with Down Syndrome, I have met so many happy and thriving children and adults with Down Syndrome, and I wish those other mothers had given their babies a chance.
Everyone wants their children to have the best chance at life, and learning that their child
My goal is not to turn this into a pro-life versus pro-choice discussion. Whether I am pro-choice or pro-life, I do not interfere with another person's right to do what they want with their body or their fetus. My problem lies with those who choose to terminate a pregnancy on the basis of a mental illness. I understand that a mother will initially be disappointed.
I'm sure some of the mothers felt they were being noble, denying themselves a child for the good of the baby. No life is better than a life with physical and mental hardship, right? Well, off-hand, I can think of very few people who, even on their worst day, would honestly rather choose death over living their life.
has Down Syndrome means that child will probably never be the doctor or lawyer they always wanted. However, the child will still be theirs. Down Syndrome is not an immediate prescription for an unhappy life. They will still giggle when you tickle them and smile when they see you. Most importantly, Down Syndrome does not mean a reliant life. Depending on the level of severity, they may even graduate from high school and go on to live relatively independent lives.
I hope the Down Syndrome Bill passes and is able to change mothers' minds about having a child with Down Syndrome, even if only a few. I hope that women can be brave enough to give their special needs child a chance at life. Most of all, I hope that they realize a baby with Down Syndrome is still a baby, and one that deserves a fair chance at life.

New Senate coalition runs on accountability Connect must avoid cynicism to have its goals achieved, platform accepted
This spring, a new Student Senate coalition, Connect, hopestomake gains in the election through a broad platform of transparency and accountability. Connect has a strong Senate pedigree and a very well-organized public relations campaign already underway. Its ideas are progressive, but it will be a feat if Connect's current goals are still intact by April.
Connect is led by Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior and current student body treasurer, and Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, junior and current off-campus senator. They will be the presidential and vice presidential candidates, respectively. Riley Dutton, Pittsburg senior and current Senate finance chair, and Jack Connor, Overland Park senior and current senator, are heading up the coalition's campaign work.
Connect first deserves consideration for the different coalitions from which its members come. Kelly formerly belonged to Ignite, as did Dutton, while Connor and Dutton have previous experience with Delta Force, and Oruch comes from United Students. The candidates said that they have gained support from members of multiple Senate coalitions.
All four men expressed a general discontent with the direction Student Senate has taken this semester. Kelly noted that roughly 20 of 70 senators have had to be replaced, and that senators in general "don't feel a sense of purpose."
Connect's main goals are general student advocacy, diversity and accountability.
In the area of student advocacy, the candidates mentioned such issues as the Oread Inn's development, parking and ticket mismanagement on the part of the athletics department. Diversity encompasses a varied body of ideas, ages, religions and ethnic groups. While acknowledging that accountability gets said a lot, the candidates said that the biggest obstacle was simply figuring out how to be accountable.
The biggest obstacle for any Senate coalition, especially a new one, is getting word out of its existence and rallying students to vote. Connect's method differs from most coalitions', however. In general, a coalition will decide its platforms with input from several of its higher-up members, and then present the ideas to the student body. Connect's mission is to seek out the platforms that students wish to see first, and form their own agenda based on what they hear. They also want to student engagement to stay high even after the elections.
"We want to give them a reason to go out and vote," Oruch said.
Students interested in finding out more about Connect can join the coalition's Facebook group, download its Facebook application or visit Connect's Web site. The site contains everything one would expect—biographies, a student survey and blogs.
When comparing their coalition to others, the candidates stress the over-arching differences of Connect's inclusive nature and a lack of rigid traditionalism (a tradition for KUnited and Ignite was to wear a white shirt over a black one on election day, for instance).
Other coalitions, the candidates say, don't appeal to nonorganizational students, and make too many decisions based on the opinions of their core members.
"This coalition is not going to be about the past," Kelly said.
The forward thinking of Connect is perhaps its best feature, and it may appear to be a breath of fresh air for those who are tired of business as usual in Student Senate.
Its aggressive early campaign can only help it, as it will be familiar to many students by the time campaign season gets into full swing; for this, Dutton and Connor deserve kudos.
If Connect stays true to its core values, which are sorely needed, then it can go far. If it abandons these goals when the campaign season is in full swing, then it will simply be another failed idea.

10A HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

THE UNIVERSITY OF DARIE KANSAN
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2007
SHOPPING
Consumers avoid crowds to eliminate stress; some say chaos is worth that extra discount
BY HELEN MUBARAK editor@kansan.com
This holiday season, Rachel Schieber is planning to avoid high-profile shopping days at all costs.
"I don't like to be stressed when I shop," Schieber, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said. "Although it's cheaper and there is a lot on sale, I would so much rather pay full price when there is absolutely no one else there."
According to the research company ShopperTrek, sales rose by 8.3 percent on the day after Thanksgiving compared with last year. In anticipation of the surge in customers during the holiday season, some retailers have increased their store hours and held rehearsals to prepare their employees for the crowds.
Megan McGillin, store manager at J.C. Penney, 3311 Iowa St., said
the Friday after Thanksgiving and the Saturday before Christmas were the busiest shopping days of the year. In order to prepare for such high-profile shopping days, McGill said she looked at sales figures from the previous year to see what times were most busy, and planned accordingly.
"We got an hour-by-hour sales read, so we knew when to have enough associates to help customers," McGinn said. "Basically everyone in the store, including people who usually have behind-the scenes jobs, was working on the day after Thanksgiving this year."
McGillin said this year's day after Thanksgiving sale brought in more sales for JC Penney than it had in the past few years. She said the sales on that day amounted to eight or nine times a regular Saturday.

Besides the stress of spending lots of money,waiting in long lines and dealing with congested traffic,answering the question of what to give people can make shopping less fun.
"I'm actually glad I came in so early," Foster said. "I had to close my first year – it was awful. I'm sure we stained an hour past closing."
Foster said JC Penney was constantly busy during the holidays. JC Penney and other department stores usually count on holiday sales to expand their yearly sales. While the season is profitable for retailers, Foster said it was often stressful for pro-

get out, before the line gets too long. So instead of talking to people and asking what they're looking for, they mostly just ask you where it is and then rush over and grab it."
"The store just becomes an enormous mess," she said. "There is a lot of folding and finding where things go."
Devin Sinha participated in holiday training two weeks ago. Sinha, Lenexa sophomore, is a wireless specialist for Best Buy, 2020 W. 31st St.
Sinha said the training was to ensure that all the employees knew what their departments were going to look like during the holiday season and how the employees were supposed to handle all the customers.

Sinha worked for Best Buy for more than two years and this will be his third holiday season working for the retail store.

Despite the crowds, Sinha said the deals were worth the
stress of shopping during the holidays.
"There are some amazing deals," he said. "In pretty much every department, you can find something on sale."
Electronics could be hot items this shopping season. Sony Corporation representatives said that strong demand for high definition televisions, digital cameras and laptops will deliver its best holiday sales to date.
Tom Hudson, Los Angeles sophomore, plans to brave the crowds in order to save money. He said he expected huge discounts because a majority of retailers used sales to unload their profits and boost their numbers near the end of the year.
"This is always a good time to shop," Hudson said. "I'm mainly buying gifts, but I always get something for myself, too."

The Holiday season can be a stressful time to shop in large department stores. Spending lots of money and waiting in long lines can make the giving experience less enjoyable.
Although Tyler Wills, Olathe freshman, is saving his holiday shopping for much later in the season, he said the women in his family were shopping extremists.
"My mom and my aunt are shopping by 5 a.m. on Friday morning," Wills said. "They pretty much spend the whole day shopping. There have been nights when my mom doesn't come home until 10 p.m."
Wills said they made a list, evalu
ated the importance of each item and planned a detailed route to stores in the Kansas City area. He said that sometimes they overbought and then had to return certain items.
Wills said he was brave but he was reluctant to face the holiday crowds.
"I definitely can't spend a whole day shopping," he said.

layhawks see 11th bowl berth against Hokies' first bowl in 21 years
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Kansas and Virginia Tech couldn't be more different in terms of football tradition. The Hokies are headed to a bowl game for the 21st time in the history of the program. Kansas' appearance in the Orange Bowl will be the school's 11th bowl berth. Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer won 167 games as the coach of the Hokies, trumping Kansas coach Mark Mangino's win total by 131.
But the teams have one thing in common: Each is seeking a shot at redemption after finishing its 2006 season in disappointing fashion.
"I think it's only fitting that last year we were bowl eligible and didn't get a call for a bowl," Mangino said. "This is fitting for our players and our University to get this opportunity."
Kansas finished last season with a devastating loss to Missouri that dropped the team to 6-6 and out of contention for a
bowl berth. Virginia Tech did enjoy a 10-2 regular season but fell short of an ACC title and lost to Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
The 2007 season treated each program more kindly. Kansas opened its season 11-0 before losing to Missouri in the final week of the regular season. Virginia Tech bounced back from an early-season obliteration at the hands of SEC champion LSU to capture the ACC championship and finish 11-2. The teams facing off in the Orange Bowl have two very different histories but are both seeking redemption.
Virginia Tech junior cornerback Brandon Flowers is the most feared playmaker on the team's defense. The 5-foot-10, 200-pound defensive back intercepted five passes and made 79 tackles this season. Junior cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris added five interceptions to help hold opposing quarterbacks to a 97.9 passing efficiency rating this season.
"We've worked hard and I think we're very deserving," Kansas sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "If anyone wants to doubt us, we proved them wrong all year and we'll continue to do that."
Reeing has his hands full against a talented Virginia Tech led by a star cornerback and a strong group of linebackers. The Hokies yielded just 15.5 points per game — second among FBS teams.
Kansas' defense is sturdy as well, clamping down on the run rather than the pass. Junior linebackers James Holt, Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen each made more than seven tackles per game and the Jayhawks allowed just 91 yards per contest on the ground.
Though the teams' outstanding defensive players helped them earn a chance at redemption and a BCS bowl victory, the Jayhawks pointed to less tangible factors to explain their improvement.
"We pursued our goals and put a lot of hard work in," senior tight end Derek Fine said. "We deserve this."

COMMENTARY
Third time's a charm: Orange Bowl victory can change Jayhawk history
For the third time in Jayhawk history, the football team will compete in the Orange Bowl. If the team wins, it will be Kansas' first victory ever in a January game. With this in mind, the Jayhawks should not just settle for a record-setting season; they should aim for their first Orange Bowl victory.

Before the start of the 2007 season, the Athletics Department began to use the slogan, "This is what Saturdays were made for," referring to Kansas football. To many, this sounded rather crazy and even presumptuous. After all, Kansas was 25-35 under coach Mark Mangino and coming off of a 6-6 season.
Twelve games later, Kansas is ranked No. 8 in the country with an 11-1 record and a spot in the Orange Bowl.
With this in mind, the Jayhawks should not settle for the record-setting season. They should go out and accomplish something they have never done before: win the Orange Bowl.
In 1948, the Kansas football team played Georgia Tech in front of more than 59,500 people in the 14th annual Orange Bowl. Kansas, ranked No. 13 in the AP poll, was an underdog to No. 10 Georgia Tech.
Kansas has played only two January games in its postseason history and both have been the Orange Bowl.

Big men inspire gigantic performance in the paint

Verbal warnings were no longer enough. Kansas coach Bill Self had to find another way to convince his guards to pass the ball inside to the post players more often.
So, he brought out the treadmill. At recent practices, the guards had to go for a run anytime they bypassed an open man in the paint. All the running must have worked. Kansas defeated Eastern Washington 85-47 Wednesday night, and the guards found the Jayhawk post players, who had no trouble handling
"We've emphasized it a lot." Self said. "I don't think we were more open tonight than we've been other nights. I think we just got it to them."
The PA announcer and crowd had barely finished shouting New York, New York before Kansas' inside game heated up. Jackson got fouled and made a free throw. Arthur followed with lay-up, then a baby hook. Jackson added an alley-oop and a couple free throws.

The game was tied 7-7 at halftime, but Georgia Tech scored 13 points in the third quarter. But Kansas answered with a touchdown and narrowed the margin to just six points. On the last drive of the game, Kansas got to Georgia Tech's 1-yard line and was looking to score, with a touchdown and an
extra point being all it needed for the victory. Quarterback Lynn McNutt snuck over the goal line but lost the ball to Georgia Tech's Rollo Phillips. The play was ruled a fumble, but Kansas

When the football team travels down to Miami, they should keep in mind what they have accomplished this year, but also realize the opportunity that lies ahead.
In 1969, Kansas played No. 3 Penn State in the 35th annual Orange Bowl in front of a crowd of more than 77,700. This game went down in Kansas' football history as the "12th Game."
The Jayhawks were leading the Nittany Lions 14-7 until Penn State's quarterback, Chuck Burkhart, scored a touchdown on a bootleg play, narrowing the lead to just one point. Rather than go for a tie — in those days there was no overtime — Penn State tried to go for a two-point conversion pass, which was broken up by Kansas' defenders. But Kansas was penalized for having 12 men on the field and allowed Penn State to redo the play. This time, Penn State came up big and made the two-point conversion, winning 15-14.

MEN'S BASKETBALL WRAP-UP
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Arthur made a turnaround shot.
All of a sudden, Kansas lead 15-3. Jackson and Arthur had scored all the points without leaving the paint.
"That sets the tone of the game," Jackson said. "Our main goal is to get Shady started. That's what we say in practice or in the locker room at halftime. We have to get the ball to Shady because the game is easier when he's down there scoring."
Arthur or Jackson couldn't have done it without the guards. Senior guards Rodrick Stewart and Russell Robinson and junior guard Mario Chalmers all picked up assists in the opening minutes. Self's pleas to throw the ball inside had finally been answered.
Robinson said the biggest reason they went inside early was because of his team's size advantage. Only one Eastern Washington starter stood taller than 6-foot-4 inches.
The inside-out dominance continued into the second half as senior center Sasha Kaun and freshman center Cole Aldrich helped the Jayhawks outscore the Eagles by 24. Kaun finished with seven points. Aldrich, whose 15 minutes were the second-most he's played all season, scored six points and grabbed six rebounds. Jackson continued his run of excellent games by coming one rebound short of a double double. Arthur bounced back from a poor performance against Southern California with 15 points and six
"We just wanted to get Shady into a rhythm and work inside-out," he said. "It's worked for us in the past and should not work for us in the future. So why not do it today?"
He had the guards to thank for the majority of his baskets. They still found the big men open down low in the second half. Kansas finished the game with 20 assists on 30 field goals and 44 points in the paint.
rebounds.
Brandon Rush, junior guard, leaps over Eastern Washington defenders to get a shot off during the second half of game. The rush finished with nine points and 12 rebounds in 22 minutes.
Self said the guards sometimes saw the game differently. If a big man was open, they might not have recognized it and would have taken the ball to the hoop instead.
Robinson said games where the guards continually fed the big guys should continue in the future, even against taller opponents. Earlier this season, the guards were slightly hesistant to throw the ball in the pain for fear of the post players not catching it or defenders swiping the ball away.
"They might think, 'Well, I could throw it in there and he may be open or he may not be open, but I know I can just drive it,'" Self said. We just have to get to where we have more confidence throwing it in there."
Now that the team has seven games under its belt, Robinson said they knew their roles and that the confidence to get the ball down low was coming. With a revenge game against DePaul on Saturday, Kansas is ready to build off Wednesday night's performance.
"We figure if you get it inside," Robinson said, "a lot of good things will happen."

Brandon Rush didn't have the game he would have liked to have against USC on Saturday. The junior guard missed — and missed more — making only two of 11 shots. None of Rush's five three-point attempts found the net either, as he finished with six points.
Rush, who played in his sixth game since returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, didn't produce eye-popping stats against Eastern Washington, either. Rush had nine points, but made only four of 11 from the field. But coach Bill Self saw something else in Rush's game Wednesday night. He said Rush did three things better than he's done all year.
"He got a dunk off one foot in transition, he grabbed a rebound off of two feet and he guarded number 10 (Eastern Washington's Adris Deleon), and number 10 couldn't get around him," Self said.
That was a welcome sight for Self, as he watched his junior All-American play in a game that was supposed to be one of his first this season. This week was supposed to be the week that Rush returned from his injury, but Rush, who suffered his knee injury in late May, beat that estimate by nearly three weeks. Rush said he knew the rust in his game was still wearing off and thought his old explosiveness was starting to come back.
"It'll just take some time," Rush said. "Just to get back in that flow and try to get back to my old self like I was like last year so I'll just be explosive and help my team out with rebounding."
Rush pulled down 10 rebounds against Eastern Washington in 22 minutes. But Rush, who has yet to start a game this season, said he might attribute his shooting woes to his new role as a bench player. Last season Rush shot 44.3 percent from the floor while in the starting line-up. This season, Rush is shooting 39.6 percent off the bench.
"I think it affects it a little bit, because I can't get in the flow like I used to," Rush said. "But I just got to play through it."
Rush conceded that his confidence in his shot was a little low after the USC game.
"I still ended up burying one, that's going to help me out a lot,"
So only one question remains. When will Rush return to the starting lineup? Self said it may be awhile.
Rush said about a three he hit with three minutes left.
"I still don't think he is where he needs to be yet," Self said on Tuesday.
Senior forward Darnell Jackson said having a talented player such as Rush coming off the bench was a luxury for the Jayhawks.
"It gives us a boost because when
he gets in the game and we throw him the ball and he shoots a three, the crowd goes crazy" jackson said.
But Jackson said Rush didn't quite embraced his role off the bench.
"He's just so anxious to go out there and play and make those big plays for us like he usually does. He just needs to calm down and play for us," Jackson said. "We just encourage him to keep shooting."

The defense the Jayhawks showed for most of the game last night was not complete full-court pressure. Self said they were just playing man-to-man and trying to get to the ball as quickly as possible.

Robinson said the defense forced Eastern Washington to play to Kansas's speed.
"We kind of wanted to create the tempo and create more minutes for the other guys," he said. "You do that with the press."

For those who didn't notice, Eastern Washington's Gary Gibson had to leave the game quite early after he picked up his fifth foul with 16:40 to go in the second half. He had two fouls before halftime and three in the 3:20 after break.

The whole game didn't go too well for the Eagles. Coach Kirk
"I think there are less than 20 teams that can look at San Antonio and the Final Four as a realistic goal," he said. "Kansas is one of those teams. We have played Washington State, and they are another team that realistically could make it. Kansas is a whole different animal in terms of length, athletic ability and style of play."

Pessimism, criticism of Jayhawks undeserved

CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM
Every Kansas basketball fan seems to be gripping about something this season
season.
They say the Jayhawks weren't dominant enough in an overtime victory against Arizona, they only beat Southern California because its superstar guard O.J. Mayo had an off day and senior center Sasha Kaun played like he belonged at Baker. OK, maybe everyone is justified in being fed up with Kaun.
Other than that, this grandfather-like cynicism needs to come to an end because we're missing the bigger picture. Kansas is 8-0 for only the second time in the Bill Self era, and these Hawks look like the coach's most promising team yet. It doesn't take Magnum P.I., however, to trace back to the origins of this negativity.
"No, 8-0 doesn't mean anything," senior forward Darnell Jackson said. "We have a long season we still have to play. We have to go out there and execute better before Big 12 play starts. There are a lot of good teams out there."
Players are trained to never be satisfied. If Jackson said that Kansas was right where they wanted to be, something would have been wrong. Yeah, there are some solid Big 12 Conference teams that are as hungry as wolves to take a bite out of the Jayhawks like Jackson said. That's why non-conference games exist.
Kansas has already passed two tests against high-caliber NCAA tournament teams despite fighting through injuries of two of its premier players. This year's team is already leaps and bounds beyond where last year's team was at this time.
In case you needed a refresher, Kansas had already dropped two games, against Oral Roberts and DePaul, exactly a year ago.
An 85-47 blowout victory against Eastern Washington isn't going to convince anyone that the streets are paved in gold for Kansas. The Eagles were really bad. Their best player, Kellen Williams, had a tattoo of the Space Needle on his leg and starting shooting guard Gary Gibson fouled out in less than 19 minutes of playing time.
Fans will undoubtedly be discouraged that the three Kansas starting guards shot below 30 percent and sophomore guard Brandon Rush's slump continued as he only went 4-for-11 from the field. But Rush did lead the team with ten rebounds and even Self sounded optimistic after the game.
"If he can rebound in traffic and he can finish in transition," Self said, "then his close to being back to the old Brandon."
Did you hear that? Self said his best player was almost back to his old self. He also said that he expected sophomore guard Sherron Collins to return from an injury before the allotted six-week time frame.
Keep your heads up during this winter break because there's no reason to be concerned about Kansas basketball. And don't complain incessantly just yet, there will be plenty of time to do that next semester when the Jayhawks lose in the Elite Eight again.

KU KICK-OFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas is set to play in a BCS bowl for the first time in school history. That alone speaks volumes about just how outstanding this season has been for the Jayhawks. Led by Todd "Sparky" Reesing and several under-recruited, undersized players, Kansas blew away every team in its path to pick up 11 consecutive victories before losing to then-No. 4 Missouri. Win or lose, come Jan. 3, the 2007 season will be one to remember for Kansas fans.

QUESTION MARKS
>>> How will Kansas overcome "Beamerball"?
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer is famous for his emphasis on strong special teams, and his squads always seem to block several kicks during the season. Senior punter Kyle Tucker must catch, plant and spin the football in time for Scott Webb to get a kick off before the Hokies find their way into the backfield.
Can the Jayhawks handle a 40-day layoff?
When Kansas takes the field Jan. 3, it will be for the first time since the team's Nov. 24 loss to Missouri. It could be tough for the Kansas players to jump back into the swing of things after sitting out of game action for longer than a month.

ORANGE BOWL: KANSAS VS. VIRGINIA TECH7 p.m. Jan. 3, Dolphin Stadium, Miami
Kansas 11-1 (7-1)
OFFENSE
In Kansas' loss to Missouri, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing looked mortal, throwing two interceptions and failing to lead a scoring drive in the first half. He will face another sturdy defense Jan. 3 — Virginia Tech is ranked in the top five in the nation in passing efficiency, rushing yards and total points allowed. It will be important for the Jayhawks to jump out to an early lead on the Hokies, who are ranked 99th in total offense and might not have the firepower to mount a comeback. Senior tight end Derek Fine could enjoy a big game if Virginia Tech's outstanding secondary shuts down Kansas senior wide receiver Marcus Henry.
★★★★★
DEFENSE
The strong Kansas defense matches well with Virginia Tech's tame offense. Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton should be able to keep Virginia Tech quarterbacks Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor on the run by dominating a Virginia Tech offensive line that has been overmatched for much of the season. Though Glennon isn't an outstanding quarterback, the Kansas secondary will need to work to pick off passes — Glennon has only thrown three interceptions this season.
Glennon has only thrown three interceptions this season.
★★★★
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Jayhawks' inconsistent special teams' play came back to bite them in the final game of the season. Senior kicker Scott Webb missed two field goals, and sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb lost 10 yards on one misguided attempt at a punt return. Missouri overcame Kansas' one special teams strength by kicking away from junior kick returer Marcus Herford. Considering Virginia Tech is notorious for fielding stellar special teams units, the Jayhawks will need to place more focus on special teams heading into the Orange Bowl.
★★★☆☆
MOMENTUM
On one hand, Kansas just wrapped up the best season in the history of the program. On the other hand, the team is coming off a frustrating win.
loss that could stick in the Jayhawks minds for the month of downtime between now and the Orange Bowl. If the Jayhawks are able to focus their energy after 40 days off and a week in beautiful Miami, they could leave their first BCS bowl with a victory. If they spend December dwelling on the
Nov. 24 loss that ruined their perfect season, the Hokies could jump all over the Jayhawks.
★★★★
COACHING
Kansas' Mark Mangino coached his team to an 11-1 regular season and a nomination for the Capital One Coach of the Year Award. A victory in the Orange Bowl would make Mangino the first Kansas coach since Glen Mason in 1995 to win two bowl games.
Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner, the mastermind behind the Jayhawks's sixth-ranked offense, should use the next four weeks to find more creative ways the team can utilize talented players such as junior cornerback Qaib Talb and sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier.

OFFENSE
Virginia Tech 11-2 (7-1)
★★★★
The Virginia Tech offense suffered through a chronic case of inconsistency this season. At times, it was as efficient as a toaster oven. But other times, it was as flawed as a unicycle. The Hokies have a quartet of talented senior wide receivers with Justin Harper, Josh Morgan, Eddie Royal and Josh Hyman. But getting the ball to them hasn't been easy. Junior quarterback Sean Glennon struggled with his accuracy earlier in the season and was benched. He won the starting job back but now splits time with dual-threat freshman Tyrod Taylor, who is a future standout but doesn't have the passing ability to run the Hokie offence to precision yet. Taylor is the team's leading rusher by average yards per carry because junior running back Brandon Ore endured a disappointing season. Ore was hyped as one of the best running backs in the nation before the season but only averaged 67 rushing yards per game. Ore's troubles may fall back on the offensive line, though, which failed to open running lanes all season.
DEFENSE
Yes, this is one of American's finest units. Yes, the Hokie defense can look a little frightening. It all starts up front for Virginia Tech with a pair of run-clogging but athletic defensive tackles, Barry Booker and Carlton Powell. The real playmakers, however, reside in the linebacking corps. Seniors Xavier Adibi and Vince Hall make plays from sideline to sideline and it could be legitimately argued that they serve as the best one-two punch of linebackers in the nation. Not much changes when talking about the secondary. Cornerbacks Brandon Flowers and Victor Harris combined to intercept 10 passes on the season. Flowers is an All-American and constant big-play threat.
★★★★
SPECIAL TEAMS
Year after year, Virginia Tech puts one of the nation's best special teams units on the field. This year is no different. Eddie Royal is ranked eighth in the nation in punt returns and has returned two punts for touchdowns. Brent Bowden has been a reliable punter for the Hokies. He has 18 punts of more than 50 yards and 27 punts inside the 20-yard line. But their kick-blocking ability is the most dangerous aspect of the Hokie special teams. They blocked two kicks in last week's game alone.

The Holkies avenged one of only two losses on the season last week and won the Atlantic Conference crown in the process. They can't be riding a bigger high when headed into the Orange Bowl. Plus, a number of important seniors will be playing in their last game in Miami. Flowers, Adibi, Hall and Royal all have meant a lot to the Virginia Tech in the last few years. Don't expect them to depart the program silently. The Orange Bowl crowd could also be tilted in Virginia Tech's favor as its fans are known for traveling well and more used to attending brow wrestling events.

COACHING
it's impossible to say anything negative about Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer. He served in the position for the past 20 years, guiding the Hokies to five conference championships and one national championship appearance. Beamer is not only the leader of the Virginia Tech football team but the Virginia Tech campus. After the tragedies of last April, students and parents looked toward Beamer to help them to get through the unexplainable events that occurred.

VT KICK-OFF
AT A GLANCE
As one of the six two-loss teams in the national championship picture last week, the Hokies thought they deserved an opportunity to play for college football supremacy. But the Bowl Championship Series computers disagreed and placed Virginia Tech third in the nation. The Hokies aren't complaining. They are ecstatic to play in Miami against the Jayhawks.

bake his name to fame. Hall is a top NFL prospect at linebacker and will be hunting down the likes of Tom Brady and/or Tony Romo on blitzes

at this time next year. He's been overshadowed by fellow senior linebacker Xavier Adibi this season because of injury. But make no mistake: Hall is a big, physical, quick force at middle linebacker.
>> Is the Virginia Tech defense overrated?
QUESTION MARKS
Going into last year's bowl game, the Hokies were ranked first in the nation in total defense. But they were unable to prove it and gave up 31 points to Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The defense suppressed a slew of undermanned ACC offenses again this season but could it be a fluke?
Will the offensive line finally coalesce?
The one glaring weakness for the Hokies all season has been their offensive line. They're 114th in the nation in sacks allowed and sometimes fail to get a push on defensive linemen on running plays. The offensive line needs to spend the extra month of practice time wisely and become a closer unit.

Will the Jayhawks box out?
A BATTLE OF THE BIRDS 5-1 Jayhawks face off against the 4-1 Golden Eagles KANSAS VS.MARQUETTE 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse
The unquestioned leader of the offense, McCray is the only Kansas player to score in double digits every game this year. She has the ability to score from the perimeter, mid-range and down on the block. McCray can take over the game when she needs to, and that skill should be on display tonight as the Jayhawks try and win their biggest game of the year thus far.
Will the Jayhawks box out?
Kansas has had a problem keeping its opponents off the glass, and that about the only thing that went wrong in the last two victories. If the Jayhawks hold the Golden Eagles to 10 offensive rebounds or fewer, they will win. Any more than 15 and Marquette will have the opportunity to get second-chance points and build a lead at the free-throw line.

KU
TIP-OFF
PLAYER TO WATCH
It should have been impossible for Kansas to match its performance from the 91-56 victory it rolled up over Creighton on Nov. 27, but coach Bonnie Hendrickson team found a way. Sunday afternoon the Jayhawks (5-1) shot 51 percent to put away St. Louis 81-55. Sophomores Danielle McCray and Sade Morris have lived up to every bit of hype, and freshman Nicollette Smith found her long-range stroke again, providing a nice third scoring option. Kansas still lacks a consistent inside post presence, but sophomore Porscha Weddington looked better against St. Louis after suffering an ankle injury in the middle of November. Junior point guard Ivana Catic has an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.63, and she'll need to be at or above that to ensure a productive offensive outing.
OFFENSE
★★★★★
DEFENSE
The only knock against Kansas in its two previous blowout games is that it has been allowing too many offensive rebounds to its opponents. St. Louis grabbed 17 offensive rebounds while Creighon came away with 24 caroms. That's the one thing that both Henrickson and her players have spoken about negatively after each game. Marquette comes into the game averaging almost 18 rebounds a game, a stat McCray rattled off right after the St. Louis victory, which makes it even more important for the Jayhawks to box out. Their overall defense has improved in the last few games, but this is the best team they will play to date. Kansas can't have any lapses, because the Golden Eagles won't need much time to put the game out of reach.
★★★☆☆
The Golden Eagles' offense revolves around dynamic junior guard Krystal Ellis. The junior was an All-America Honorable Mention and All-Big East selection last year. She returned from a three-game layoff with 21 points against Green Bay on Dec. 1. In that game she scored her 1,000th point for the team. Marquette's offense will revolve around getting Ellis into position to score whether from the outside or via dribble penetration. But the Golden Eagles are also turnover prone and over-reliant on the ability of Ellis to generate offense. If Kansas can stop Ellis, offense will come slowly for Marquette.
COACHING
It's time for Henrickson to find out what her team is really made of at this point in the year. Marquette has some potent scorers, and the last time Kansas played anyone close to the overall talent of Marquette was in the loss to SMU. In their two wins, the Jayhawks didn't have a let-down
like they did in every other victory. It's important that they keep that trend going, because it's doubtful that the Jayhawks will have a 15-point lead to work with like they do in most of their games. Kansas has never been down at halftime, which is a great thing, and this isn't the kind of game where it wants to start. A quick start
consistent defense will guide the Jayhawks to their 300th victory in Allen Fieldhouse.
21
★★★☆☆
★★☆☆
DEFENSE
Marquette is a physical Big East team that could give Kansas fits on the defensive end. The Golden Eagles limit their opponents to 60 points per game and force almost 24 turnovers a game. Senior forward Svetlana Kovalenko averages nearly a double-double with 10.8 points per game, 9.5 rebounds and almost three steals per game, providing an anchor in the middle. Marquette has a plus-eight rebounding margin and averages 14.2 steals per game. The Golden Eagles play a pressure defense that could disrupt the thriving Jayhawk offense.
★★★★☆
COACHING
Simply put, coach Terri Mitchell is Marquette women's basketball. She has the most wins, the best winning percentage and most postseason appearances than any other Marquette women's basketball coach. The Golden Eagles have made five straight trips to the postseason, including last years NCAA Tournament. Her team was 26-7 last year, the seventh time her teams won 20 games.
★★★★☆
MU
TIP-OFF
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior guard Krystal Ellis
Ellis will be the best player on the court tonight. She's averaging 21.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and almost four rebounds from the guard position. Against Wisconsin in Milwaukee, she scored 31 points to lead her team to a victory in the inter-state rivalry.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Golden Eagles find someone other than Ellis to score?
Without Ellis, Marquette lost two out of three games. With her, they are 4-1. The Golden Eagles must find another source of offense in order to be successful. They should get their chances as Kansas focuses on limiting Ellis offensively.

Attorney wants to resolve case
Accused gunman admits no wrongdoing in Taylor murder
BY MATT SEDENSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — An attorney for the 17-year-old accused gunman in the killing of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor wants to work with prosecutors to resolve the case.
Sawyer Smith, who along with his father Wilbur is representing Eric Rivera, said Wednesday his client was admitting no wrongdoing yet.
"When the State Attorney's Office is ready, we would like to sit down and begin discussion with them so we can move towards a resolution in the case that has the best interest of all parties in mind," Smith said. "We want to minimize the impact of case resolution on the Taylor family and find a result that's in the best interest of justice."
Smith added: "Plea negotiations are typical in criminal cases. However, we don't know when or if
that will occur."
Circuit Judge John Thornton Jr denied Rivera bail Wednesday in his brief appearance via videoconference in a Miami-Dade County courtroom. His three co-defendants were denied ball a dav earlier.
All four — Rivera; Charles Wardlow, 18; Jason Mitchell, 19; and Veniah Hunte, 20 — have been charged with first-degree felony murder and armed burglary. Their arraignments are Dec. 21.
Richard Sharpstein, Taylor's former lawyer, said he expected them all eventually to be "severely punished."
Taylor died Nov. 27, a day after he was shot in the bedroom of his home. Police have said the 24-year-old player was a victim of a botched burglary.
Smith said he was happy Rivera moved to Miami and had his first appearance in court. He said he understood it most likely would be
Wardlow's attorney, David Brener, distanced his client's actions from those of Rivera and said he expected to go to trial.
Smith said the defense attorneys in the case have a history of working together, but he said he understood the grand jury's identification of his client as the alleged gunman puts him in a unique position.

University of Colorado pays to settle sexual assault lawsuit
》 LEGAL DISPUTE
BY P. SOLOMON BANDA ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The University of Colorado agreed to pay two women $2.85 million to settle a lawsuit alleging they were sexually assaulted by football players and recruits, school officials said Wednesday.
He said the school faced years of litigation over the case, and fees for outside attorneys already reached $3 million.
The allegations sparked a football recruiting scandal at the school, prompted broad university reforms and led to a shake-up of its top leaders.
University President Hank Brown said agreeing to the settlement was "a difficult decision, painful in some ways, but it's my sense that it was in the interest of the university"
University spokesman Ken McConnellogue said the school also agreed to hire an adviser to monitor compliance with federal laws governing equal treatment of women and add a position in the university Office of Victim Assistance.
The agreement came two months after an appellate court revived the lawsuit.
One of the women, Lisa Simpson, will receive $2.5 million, McConnellogue said. The other woman, who did not wish
be identified publicly, will receive $350,000. The school did not admit fault or liability.
The Associated Press did not identify the victims of alleged sexual assault, but Simpson agreed to be identified in media reports.
The women said they were raped by football players and recruits at an off-campus party on Dec. 7, 2001. Their lawsuit alleged the university violated federal law by fostering an environment that allowed sexual assaults to occur.
A message left for Simpson's attorney, Baine Kerr, was not immediately returned. Simpson met with Brown at his office Wednesday but was not made available for comment.

In a statement released through the school, Simpson said she was pleased with steps the school has taken.
"I encourage other institutions of higher education throughout the nation to take similar steps," she said.
A separate inquiry, backed by the university's Board of Regents, concluded that drugs, alcohol and sex were used to entice blue chip recruits to the Boulder campus but said none of the activity was knowingly sanctioned by university officials.
Brown, CU's president, said the appeals court not only kept the lawsuit alive, but it "changed the law and it ended up rewriting" federal law or the application of it.
A federal judge dismissed the suit in 2005, saying the women failed to show evidence of deliberate indifference. In September, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revived the lawsuit, ruling there was evidence the alleged assaults were caused by the school's failure to adequately supervise players.
Simpson fought hard to make the school change, said Janine D'Annibale, director of Boulder's rape crisis center.
"She wanted change in the university. I think that's what she got. Even more important than money is change," D'Annibaille said.
The school responded by overhauling oversight of the athletics department and putting some of the most stringent policies in place for any football recruiting program.

The unquestioned leader of the offense, McCray is the only Kansas player to score in double digits every game this year. She has the ability to score from the perimeter, mid-range and down on the block. McCray can take over the game when she needs to, and that skill should be on display tonight as the Jayhawks try and win their biggest game of the year thus far.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Jayhawks box out?

Will the Jayhawks box out?
Kansas has had a problem keeping its opponents off the glass, and that's about the only thing that went wrong in the last two victories. If the Jayhawks hold the Golden Eagles to 10 offensive rebounds or fewer, they will win. Any more than 15 and Marquette will have the opportunity to get second-chance points and build a lead at the free-throw line.

KU
TIP-OFF
PLAYER TO WATCH
It should have been impossible for Kansas to match its performance from the 91-56 victory it rolled up over Creighton on Nov. 27, but coach Bonnie Henrickson's team found a way. Sunday afternoon the Jayhawks (5-1) shot 51 percent to put away St. Louis 81-55. Sophomores Danielle McCray and Sade Morris have lived up to every bit of hype, and freshman Nicollette Smith found her long-range stroke again, providing a nice third scoring option. Kansas still lacks a consistent inside post presence, but sophomore Porscha Weddington looked better against St. Louis after suffering an ankle injury in the middle of November. Junior point guard Ivana Catic has an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.63, and she'll need to be at or above that to ensure a productive offensive outing.
OFFENSE
DEFENSE
★★★★
The only knock against Kansas in its two previous blowout games is that it has been allowing too many offensive rebounds to its opponents. St. Louis grabbed 17 offensive rebounds while Creighen came away with 24 caroms. That's the one thing that both Henrickson and her players have spoken about negatively after each game. Marquette comes into the game averaging almost 18 rebounds a game, a stat McCray rattled off right after the St. Louis victory, which makes it even more important for the Jayhawks to box out. Their overall defense has improved in the last few games, but this is the best team they will play to date. Kansas can't have any lapses, because the Golden Eagles won't need much time to put the game out of reach.
The Golden Eagles' offense revolves around dynamic junior guard Krystal Ellis. The Junior was an All-America Honorable Mention and All-Big East selection last year. She returned from a three-game layoff with 21 points against Green Bay on Dec. 1. In that game she scored her 1,000th point for the team. Marquette's offense will revolve around getting Ellis into position to score whether from the outside or via dribble penetration. But the Golden Eagles are also turnover prone and over-reliant on the ability of Ellis to generate offense. If Kansas can stop Ellis, offense will come slowly for Marquette.
★★★☆☆
COACHING
It's time for Henrickson to find out what her team is really made of at this point in the year. Marquette has some potent scorers, and the last time Kansas played anyone close to the overall talent of Marquette was in the loss to SMU. In their last two wins, the Jayhawks didn't have a lewdown
like they did in every other victory, it's important that they keep that trend going, because it's doubtful that the Jayhawks will have a 15-point lead to work with like they do in most of their games. Kansas has never been down at halftime, which is a great thing, and this isn't the kind of game where it wants to start. A quick start
consistent defense will guide the Jawahir their 300th victory in Allen Fieldhouse.
★★★☆☆
21
★★★☆☆
DEFENSE
Marquette is a physical Big East team that could give Kansas fits on the defensive end. The Golden Eagles limit their opponents to 60 points per game and force almost 24 turnovers a game. Senior forward Svetlana Kovalenko averages nearly a double-double with 10.8 points per game,9.5 rebounds and almost three steals per game, providing an anchor in the middle. Marquette has a plus-eight rebounding margin and averages14.2 steals per game. The Golden Eagles play a pressure defense that could disrupt the thriving Jayhawk offense.
★★★★☆
COACHING
Simply put, coach Terri Mitchell is Marquette women's basketball. She has the most wins, the best winning percentage and most postseason appearances than any other Marquette women's basketball coach. The Golden Eagles have made five straight trips to the postseason, including last years NCAA Tournament. Her team was 26-7 last year, the seventh time her teams won 20 games.
★★★★☆
MU
TIP-OFF
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior guard Krystal Ellis
Ellis will be the best player on the court tonight. She's averaging 21.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and almost four rebounds from the guard position. Against Wisconsin in Milwaukee, she scored 31 points to lead her team to a victory in the inter-state rivalry.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Golden Eagles find someone other than Ellis to score?
Without Ellis, Marquette lost two out of three games. With her, they are 4-1. The Golden Eagles must find another source of offense in order to be successful. They should get their chances as Kansas focuses on limiting Ellis offensively.

Tigers add Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis to team
BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — One swift move, two new stars. The Detroit Tigers are loading up for another run at the World Series, this time with Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis.
Detroit reached a preliminary agreement Tuesday to acquire Cabrera and Willis from the Florida Marlins for a package of six players, an unexpected blockbuster trade that developed quickly at the winter meetings.
"I'm glad were in the other division," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "That lineup just got scary."
In a huge deal that took the spotlight away from Boston's pursuit of Johan Santana, Florida gets lefty Andrew Miller, outfielder Cameron Maybin and four other prospects from the Tigers, a baseball official with knowledge of the talks said on condition of anonymity because the trade had not yet been finalized.
"It's very serious, but nothing is finalized yet because some issues need to get worked out," Tigers manager Jim Leyland told The Associated Press.
The Marlins also receive catcher Mike Rabelo and right-handers Burke Badenhop, Eulogio De La Cruz and Dallas Trahern. The players involved must pass physicals for the deal to be completed.
Cabrera, an All-Star in each of the past four seasons, would join an
imposing line that already includes Maggiolio Ordonez, Gary Sheffield, Ivan Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Placido Polanco. The Tigers also acquired shortstop Edgar Renteria, a five-time All-Star, in a trade with Atlanta this offseason.
Willis, the 2003 NL Rookie of the Year and a two-time All-Star, is coming off a down year in which he went 10-15 with a 5.17 ERA. He would be part of a solid rotation with Justin Verlander, Kenny Rogers and Jeremy Bonderman as Detroit tries to reach the World Series again after losing to St. Louis in 2006.
Florida didn't even approach the Tigers until Tuesday morning. The Marlins told the Tigers they could have both stars for those six players, then Detroit called back about two hours later and agreed, the baseball official said.

Florida Marlins starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis, right, is congratulated by teammate Miguel Cabrera. The Detroit Tigers reached a preliminary agreement Tuesday to acquire Cabrera and Willis from the Marlins for a package of six players.
"It if does happen, obviously they're getting two very good players," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who managed the Marlins in 2006. "Miguel Cabrera is one of the finest hitters in the game. He can do so many things with a bat, whether you want him to hit a home run for you, you want to hit and run, work the count, get on base. And Donttrelle Willis has been one of the premier lefties in the National League."
Willis was on vacation when he heard the news.
secure a new ballpark, the Marlins keep shedding players when they are due to earn huge salaries. Cabrera made $7.4 million this year and Willis $6.45 million. Both were eligible for arbitration and likely to receive raises.
Detroit had not been considered a contender for Cabrera or Willis. Both can become free agents after the 2009 season.
"I'm in Mexico right now with my family. I'm kind of busy," he told the AP.
Cabrera and Willis were the last players left from Florida's 2003 championship队. Unable to
"I halfway expected one of them to get traded, but not both in the same deal. So it's a little bit of a shock." Marlins left fielder Josh Willingham said. "It's deflating."
In return, the Marlins get a pair of highly rated prospects. Maybin was the 10th pick in the 2005 amateur draft and Miller was selected sixth overall the following year.
The 24-year-old Cabrera made 23 errors this season at third base. To make room for him, it appears Detroit could trade third baseman Brandon Inge or left fielder Marcus Thames. Cabrera played the outfield in 2004 and 2005.
Boston, meanwhile, was focused on Santana, Minnesota's two-time Cy Young Award winner. Finding the price too high, the Yankees ended their efforts to acquire the 28-year-old left-hander.
"The deal they appear to have reached, they felt was a better fit for them." Angels general manager Tony Reagins told a pool reporter.
The Los Angeles Angels had pursued Cabrera for weeks. The Marlins didn't give the Angels a last chance.
Yankee senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner had set a Monday deadline for an agreement with the Twins.
"I know there's a lot of speculation that we're close to something big," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said. "Until we reach an agreement, then we're not that close."
"A deadline is a deadline. It was pretty much done as of this morning," he said Tuesday. "He's a fine pitcher, but there's a lot of things that go into this. This isn't fantasy baseball."
Boston had offered the Twins
packages built either around pitcher Jon Lester or outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, but not both.
"To tell you the tru'h toward the end, Minnesota negotiated in good faith. They really did," Steinbrenner said. "I have no problem with them."
New York had proposed pitcher Phil Hughes and center fielder Melky Cabrera. The Twins dropped their demand that pitcher Ian Kennedy be included, but the sides couldn't agree on a third player.
Twins general manager Bill Smith wouldn't discuss the talks specifically.

Family deaths take Terry Johnson out of play
KANAS CITY, Mo. — The injury-depleted Kansas City Chiefs were stretched even thinner Wednesday by family deaths that took away starting right tackle Chris Terry and linebacker Derrick Johnson.
Terry was making arrangements for the funeral on Saturday of his mother, coach Herm Edwards said, and Johnson hurried home Tuesday night when he got word that his father had died. Edwards said it was possible both would miss Sunday's game against Denver.

Starting left tackle Damion McIntosh could not practice because of a knee injury and might also be out this week. Another starting linebacker, Donnie Edwards, was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the second half of last week's 24-10 loss to San Diego.
In addition, the Chiefs (4-8) listed backup offensive tackle Kyle Turley as questionable with a foot injury and third-team quarterback Tyler Thigpen was scheduled for an MRI exam after hurting his knee in practice.
So besides being down to second- and third-teammers at tackle and linebacker, the Chiefs might have only two quarterbacks when they try to halt a six-game losing streak in Denver, where they haven't won since 2000.
"The plot thickens," Edwards said with a wry smile. "I know one thing — after the cloud leaves, there's a rainbow. When that comes, I don't know."
Quarterback Brodie Croyle, who missed last week's game against San Diego with a back injury, practiced for the first time on Wednesday and will probably start. But there was still no guarantee of that.
Backup Damon Huard was OK on Wednesday, Edwards said, after being roughed up in the loss to San Diego while the depleted offensive line gave up eight sacks.
Thigpen finished the last few minutes of the San Diego game, with Huard feeling wooxy on the bench.
If Thigpen is out, would the Chiefs take a chance on having only two quarterbacks for Denver?
"That wouldn't be wise, I don't think," Edwards said. "But we'll see. Unless we figure the third guy's going to be an option quarterback and just run the option. You can't just go to the grocery store and pick up a quarterback. It's not like buying a fresh tomato. But there are some out there. There's always a guy out there if you feel like you have to go get a guy.
"But if it's not possible, you cross your fingers and go with two."
The emergency quarterback is wide receiver Eddie Kennison, who played the position in high school.

Underclassman, top quarterbacks picked as Heisman trophy finalists
BY RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, trying to become the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, and Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, the runner-up for last year's award, were among the four finalists selected Wednesday.
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel and Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan were the other finalists. They will all be in New York on Saturday night when the award is given to the best player in college football.
"I think it's a good race," Brennan said at a news conference. "I think anybody can win it. It up to the voters. It will be interesting to see how it plays out."
The Heisman race took a white to develop this season and seemed wide open until the last month when Tebow, McFadden and Daniel emerged as front-runners.
Since the first Heisman was given to Chicago's Jay Berwanger in 1935, all 70 players who have won college football's most prestigious award have been juniors or seniors.
Tebow could break that trend. The ultimate dual-threat quarterback, the 235-pound Tebow ran for 838 yards and an South'eastern Conference-record 22 touchdowns.
He's also the nation's second-leading passer, having completed 68 percent of his throws for 3,132 yards, with 29 touchdowns and just six interceptions in his first season as a starter.
Tebow has already had a historic season, becoming the first major college player to run for 20 touchdowns and throw 20 touchdown passes in the same season.
"He has done things that no one else in college football has been able to do, and I hope people realize the magnitude of his accomplishments."
Florida coach Urban Meyer said in a statement.
McFadden was one of the preseason favorites after finishing second to Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith last year. His candidacy lagged with a mediocre October, but he gave himself a boost with a spectacular November. In the final month of the season, McFadden tied the SEC single-game record with 321 yards rushing against South Carolina, and ran for 206 yards and three touchdowns and also threw a touchdown pass to lead the Razorbacks to a 50-48 triple-overtime victory over No.1 LSU.
McFadden could become the fifth player to win the Heisman the year after being the runner-up, joining Tom Harmon of Michigan. Glenn Davis of Army, O.J. Simpson of USC and Herschel Walker of Georgia.
Daniel was one of six quarterbacks to pass for 4,000 yards this season. He threw for 4,170 yards and 33 touchdowns to get the surprising Tigers within a victory of reaching the BCS Championship Game.
"This shines a huge light, a shining light, on the University of Missouri and the state," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said in a conference call with the Mizzou Tiger Club of St. Louis on Wednesday.
This season, Brennan led Hawaii (12-0) to the only perfect regular season in major college football and its first Bowl Championship Series appearance, but his numbers were down from last year because he lost some time to injuries.
In the Warriors' run-and-shoot offense, Brennan passed for 4,174 yards and 38 touchdowns. He also set the major college record for career touchdown passes with 131.
"It's a great feeling because it's not like I'm the only one getting rewarded here; it's everybody who played with me getting rewarded," Brennan said.
The Heisman finalists are the top
vote-getters among mostly media members and former players.
McFadden and Brennan were among the players who received plenty of preseason Heisman hype, along with Southern California quarterback John David Booty, Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm, Rutgers running back Ray Rice and Michigan running back Mike Hart.
Booty missed time with injuries and never made a serious run. Injuries also held back Hart, Brohm and Rice had big numbers, but their teams slumped.
Midway through the season, Tebow and Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon started separating themselves from the pack in the Heisman race. A knee injury ended Dixon's season early and probably cost him a trip to New York for the award presentation.
Dixon and the Ducks were No. 2 in the country heading into their 10th game of the season. His left knee buckled early in a loss to Arizona, and he was lost for the season. Without him, the Ducks lost their final two games.
MIZZOU
10
Dixon finished the season with 2,136 yards passing and 20 touchdown passes and ran for 583 yards and nine touchdowns.
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel threw for 4,170 yards and 33 touchdowns as the leader of a Tiger team that nearly missed a shot at the national title. Daniel is one of four finalists for the Heisman trophy, which will be presented Saturday in New York.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow became the first major college player to run for 20 touchdowns and throw for 20 touchdowns in the same season. Tebow is one of four finalists for the Heisman trophy.
Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan led the Warriors to the only perfect regular season in major college football. He threw for more than 4,000 yards and 38 touchdowns, finishing his college career with 131 touchdown passes. Brennan is one of the four Heisman finalists announced Wednesday.
West Virginia quarterback Pat White was getting lots of Heisman consideration late in the season, when he had four straight 100-yard rushing games and had the Mountaineers a win away from playing for the national title.
But White and West Virginia fell flat in their season finale, losing 13-9 to Pittsburgh. White missed about half of the Pittsburgh game with a dislocated thumb on his right (non-throwing) hand and finished the regular season with 1,185 yards rushing and 1,548 yards passing.

DEMYSTIFYING the Male Member
The ups and downs of erectile functions By Nick Finnegan
PITCHING TENTS
Alright guys; take a long, hard look between your legs. See that? Nearly half of the KU student population comes equipped with similar gear. And no, I don't care if you happened to 'accidentally' glance at a friend in high school and see that his was marginally (read extremely) bigger than yours. Let's leave that for another time and another article.Today, kids, we're going to discuss some of the common things men experience downstairs and some potentially embarrassing social situations.
Guys get boners. We can't always help it, nor does it always mean that we're thinking about the hottie three seats in front of us. An occasionally erect penis is part of normal sexual health in an adult male and can happen for several reasons.
First and foremost among these erectile encounters is something every guy has woken up with at some point. Morning wood, or nocturnal
penise tumescence as the guys in white coats call it, can happen during normal REM sleep.
Dr. Robert L. Brown at Watkins Memorial Health Center says certain psychogenic processes during this REM sleep tend to stimulate spontaneous erections, but that it's also completely normal. These sunrise stiffies are usually most notable
when you're shocked out of sleep by an alarm clock, not giving your brain enough time to ease out of sleep.
"I fell asleep in class one time and woke up with morning wood," says Kunal Bisariya, Overland Park senior. "Shit like that can happen."
Finding yourself in class with a hard-on is definitely an embarrassing situation for any guy, but trying too hard to cover up just might end up having the reverse effect.
"It's not that apparent when another guy has an erection. I'd rather not know in the first place. But when they try and act too cool, you know something's up." Bisariya says. "It's a self-defeating thing."
The classroom conundrum of having an erection in a room with 200 people in it can be a dire situation indeed. Dustin Allen, Topeka senior, finds that the longer the class, the harder the circumstance.
"In long classes where you're shifting back in forth in your seat and there are lots of hot girls, it makes it more of a problem," he says. "And it always happens at the most inopportune times."
Other factors that contribute to an unwanted arousal can include a number of things, such as physical activities. Dr. Brown says that incidental contact while playing a sport or working out might become a factor. He also says certain things we ingest, such as alcohol, could play a part. Not that you all are drinking before class, right?
But no matter the cause, the fact is that most people don't pay enough attention or care to pay attention to what's happening under the protective canopy of your desk. Many girls aren't even really attuned to the fact that guys even have erections in public places.
If someone did happen to see a guy sporting wood in a clearly urban environment, likely some people would find it funny, but more people might just feel embarassment for the pour soul.
This statue has the only intact penis on display at the Wilcox Museum in Lippincott Hall, which houses collections of plaster casts of Greek and Roman statues.
The unfortunate nature of the beast is it can require years of practice to attain the mental fortitude required in taming your wang, and the older you get, the easier it becomes. But when you feel rigid and inflexible, just remember to take a deep breath and relax; don't just let it go. Seriously, you could poke somebody's eye out with that thing.
Here are some of the ways you can hide your erection while trying to escape a public situation. Note: some work and some just make the problem worse.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JON GOERING
Tuck and Cover: The most prevalent and widely used of all, the tuck and cover works by shifting your Johnson straight up into your waistband and covering any bits that might peek out with the bottom of your shirt. This works especially well with a jeans-and-belt combo because the zipper disguises the bulge while the belt secures you firmly in place.
Hoodie Hands: If you wear a hoodie (you know who you are) the front pocket is an excellent resource. No matter what kind of pants you're wearing, you can always reach down and grab a hold of your giblets through your hoodie and move them away from potential humiliation.
Two o'clock Pocket: This simple maneuver will help keep a distance from escalating if you can't manage to hide yourself
anywhere else. As the name implies, you position your shaft at two o'clock towards your left pocket and pretend like hell that you have an absurdly shaped hand that extends to your balls.
Book Worm: You're really not fooling anybody here but yourself at this point. The whole "I carry my book-bag at crotch level" ploy will only get you so far... but if it manages to get you out the door then that may be good enough.
Traffic Cop: Why bother hiding it anyway? Go ahead and show the world what you have and wave your boner proudly to all who can see. You might just impress somebody in the process. Or you might end up grossing out a whole room. Use your best judgement.

From your parents to your professors to your old preschool playmates, more than 55 million people have claimed their page of Facebook, and according to the Internet marketing research company comScore, each user is getting in an average of 20 minutes of Face-time per day.
"It can mess with your identity, especially at a stage in life when you're just starting to form an identity, like during college," says James Houran, a Dallas-based clinical psychologist who specializes in online relationships.
Here, a glimpse beyond Facebook's face value at the mental appeal and effects of what great minds have dubbed "Internet crack."
WHY YOU'RE HOOKED
Be it baseball cards or beer bottles, humans love collecting, and Facebook lets you collect what poets praise as priceless: friends. Mark McKinley, professor of psychology at Lorain County Community College in Ohio, says a collection of any kind represents a quest, and the collector is often in pursuit of security, a way
Onitsjourney from a procrastination tool exclusively for U.S. college students to a global socializing phenomenon, Facebook has raised some tough questions of privacy and ethics, and users' Facebook faux pas—disreputable photos, offensive wall posts have drawn national attention. Yet something that remains largely under the radar in this nirvana of networking is the mental effects of spending time in a vacuum of uninhibited communication and self-disclosure that's full of boundless information about the people around you.
A nationwide study published in February reported that today's college students are more narcissistic and self-centered than previous generations, and researchers partly attributed these new attitudes to sites like Facebook, where each of us can become the center of a simulated universe. Staples says, however, that adding a page to the Book points more toward a social expectation for college students than self-
to fill an emotional void, or even a way to achieve distinction, fame or notoriety. Collecting Facebook friends, like any other collection, is characterized by comparing your stock to others', and more always means better.
Tim Phillippe, Forth Worth, Texas freshman, says amassing Facebook friends is probably a way some students boost their self-esteem. "I've met people who instantly want to be Facebook friends when I've spoken one or two words to them," Phillippe says. "When I see these people have 800 friends, I think they may not have a lot of close friends, so they're trying to feel secure by having hundreds of Facebook friends."
Way back when (oh,four years ago), close interaction and time were usually necessary to find out someone's favorite books, his or her relationship status or political views. But with Facebook, you can now dig into all this and more without ever having to speak face-to-face.
John Grohol, a Boston-based psychologist and publisher of the online mental health network Psych Central, says this ability to instantly access someone's personal information without any effort to get to know him or her desensitizes our awareness of and response to valuable details about people. Instead, every behavior becomes a generic, bland fact with no relevance to your relationship with the person. "We feel like it's bringing us closer to the person, but this is an artificial connection," Grohol says. "Finding out that you're going to the airport or you're up all night studying—those are factual pieces of info about
Facebook also plays on our desire to disclose information about ourselves and also dig into what others are disclosing. "In today's culture, we like to see ourselves and see others—a combination of exhibitionism and voyeurism. Facebook is the perfect example of how these two come together," says Bill Staples, department chair and professor of sociology at KU. Staples, who researches the connections between technology and voyeurism, says the desire to broadcast information about ourselves is a significant departure from the attitudes of our parents, who are more guarded concerning their personal lives.
absorption. "We want to put ourselves out there because we want to participate. If you're not there, it's like you don't exist," he says."In a sense, you're seduced into being on it whether you want to or not, and it may turn out to be kind of oppressive."
Sarah Kirk, director of KU Psychological Services, says Facebook is appealing because it allows us to keep a tabloid-like eye on the people we know, while also living like our private lives are fascinating enough to merit page six coverage. "It matches our culture," Kirk says. "We all know everything that Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are doing, so then when our own privacy is taken away, we don't always think about that as negative."
YOU THINK YOU KNOW...
your life, but they're without context. You have all this information,but you're not able to validate it like you would if you were actually communicating with the person face-to-face."
And although Facebook seems an authentic paradise of knowledge, the site actually creates more questions than it gives answers. "You never get the whole story when you learn about something or someone through Facebook," says clinical psychologist James Houran. "You may feel you know a person online and you only know a part of them—not all of them—and that can be awkward then in person, because you don't know what part of them you know."
For self-proclaimed Facebook addict Caitlin Nowlin, Riverton junior, the site has led to some uncomfortable moments on campus. "I definitely have Facebook friends that I'm not friends with on campus," Nowlin says. "It's just like seeing someone you don't even know, but it's a little awkward because you feel like you should know them."
Not only are some things better left off Facebook for the sake of your own pride and privacy, but the well-being of an entire community can take a hit from too much information."The more info you have about people, the more it can promote negative behaviors like rumor-spreading that kill groups and communities," Houran says.
Being overloaded with info on how others are living their lives isn't good for your own mental well-being, either. "Knowing too much about people is never a good thing," Houran says. "It tends to increase peer pressure, and you tend to be a follower, not a leader." He also says that finding out on Facebook that

GETTIN' FRIENDLY
the Internet has introduced oodles of words into xenon, but give Facebook credit for morphing the "friend" into a verb. Along with becoming a new of speech, the term has also, thanks to Facebook, a shift in its meaning.
friend' can now mean anything from a real, true, in the traditional sense of the word to a complete怒ger you never met," Grohol says. "It's really a pointing misuse of the English language."
while Grohl says social networking sites have only used "friend" to draw people in, he says the shift annotation can actually lead to a distorted sense lendship, causing us to develop false feelings of ment and develop attachments quicker. Grohl these simulated friendships we have online can we us to spend less time with those friends who are available to us.
reg Hall, professor of psychology at Bentley age in Massachusetts, says being friends with one online can never truly capture the nuance the subtleties of a face-to-face relationship."When means of getting to know someone is through the interaction, you don't have the same cues
to draw upon—nothing like facial expression, eye contact or tone of voice to gauge the person's interest level, and these are what help people build genuine rapport and attachment."Hall says.
Most experts acknowledge that analyzing the psychology of Facebook is difficult because the site hasn't yet been the subject of much scientific research, though some curious minds have indeed started to investigate. Larry Rosen, professor of psychology in California State University Dominguez Hills and author of Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, studied how many of the friends people consider "online" friends they also consider to be their "real-life" friends. Rosen says the two numbers do overlap, though usually never 100 percent.
Rosen also conducted a study in 2006 in which participants were introduced to a "friend" on a social networking site and given the opportunity to get to know him or her and share information about themselves."There is a gut-level sense that you always have anonymity when communicating with someone online, even if you know the person," Rosen said. "We found that if people were told they'd have to interact with the person face-to-face later on, they were less self-revealing online."
MIND YOUR MANNERS
Meredith Tack, Oklahoma City senior, logged onto Facebook one morning to learn for the first time that she and her boyfriend were no longer "in a relationship." Any feelings of heartbreak quickly took a backseat to Tack's astonishment at this blunt break-up approach. "I was like, 'are you kidding me?'" Tack says.
"I thought it was a really rude, distant way of doing things, and I don't have much respect for people who can't talk to you face-to-face."
In defense of Tack's bad-mannered ex-boyfriend, Houran says too much time on Facebook can actually stunt your communication skills and emotional intelligence, so that you may very well think that breaking up via Facebook is the best way to handle the situation. After all, if a relationship isn't official until it's "Facebook official," perhaps it's only really over when it's over on Facebook.
Houran says Facebook interaction doesn't allow us to learn or perfect real-world social skills, and as a result, we may find ourselves more awkward and less articulate in unfamiliar social settings. "The flow of conversation online is not the same as it is offline." Houran says. "That time in between me responding allows me to think. We don't have that opportunity when we're in a job interview, in school."
Hall says that we follow established social norms in face-to-face communication, and we have a different set of norms for interacting with a professor than for interacting with our classmates, for example. These standards for behavior don't exist in online social settings, however, and we thus often lose the inhibitions that keep us from embarrassing ourselves in face-to-face conversation. "A lot of misunderstandings and embarrassments happen because of social networking sites," Hall says. "In face-to-face communication, comments might be more subtle. Online communication lacks expression and intonation, which convey a lot of how you mean to say something."
A MIXED BAG
The cultural cloud that is Facebook does have a silver lining.
For Kerri Kolzow, Chicago senior, the site is useful for staying in the loop with her friends back home. "I'm not a junkie, but I like being able to see what my friends in other towns are doing," Kolzow says. "I don't know if we could keep in touch as easily without Facebook."
Houran says that before sites like Facebook, we didn't have as much contact with people from other areas of the world, and when groups of people who couldn't meet before can meet and interact, we become more open-minded."Often times we are more comfortable with people familiar to us," Houran says. "But with Facebook, we don't rush to first impressions or judgments so quickly."
Gregson adds that, for the most part, people will be just as honest about themselves online as they are in person, and that even in face-to-face communication, most people present a persona that is different from their core identity. "People you meet face-to-face in a bar are not going to be 100 percent honest with you," Gregson says. "I think there's a lot more honesty and positive aspects of Facebook than people give it credit for."
Kim Gregson, assistant professor of communications at Ithaca College, says Facebook can help shy students better integrate into college environments and also give them an outlet to express themselves and eventually become more open to face-to-face interaction.

WILL GOLF FOR BEER
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Kyle Weinstein, Overland Park senior, takes down a Red Bull and Vodka at Jet Lag during a leg of bar golf. Weinstein is a veteran bar golfer.
Last spring, Natalie Durda received an invitation to a friend's birthday party that consisted of playing bar golf. Always up for a good time, Durda, Eden Prairie Minnesota senior, decided to attend, though she had no idea how to play.
"I was like, 'sure. Now what the hell is that?" Durda says.
Bar golf is a drinking game where individuals get together and play nine holes. However, unlike traditional golf, bar golf is not played on a golf course, but at nine bars.
Dan Hutchinson, co-owner of the website www.barnoneddrinks.com, says the game should be played in a central area with lots of drinking establishments. Massachusetts Street provides a good bar golf course, so if you are in the mood for something different this weekend, read on to organize your own game of golf.
Tye Zehner, Overland Park senior organized bar golf for friends last year. He says lots of planning is required to get ready for a night (or day) of bar golf. Nine establishments within the same vicinity
need to be chosen, teams need to be made and the scoring system needs to be decided.
First choose the nine bars that your group will visit. It will be helpful if all the bars are within walking distance. To save money,choose bars that have drink specials for that specific night. Traveling to nine bars and drinking at each one can get expensive.
Separate the teams so they are even in terms of drinking experience. Zehner advises not to put all the heavy drinkers on one team and the weak drinkers on another.Make the chance at winning fair for everyone.
Next, divide the attendees into teams. Bar golf can be played as every person for themselves, but lots of people playing in teams can make for great competition.
Then decide how to score the game.
Par, the number of strokes it takes to get the ball in the hole, should be set for each drinking establishment. Par can be set however your group decides. For example, you can decide that everyone will drink a beer at one place, a single
Making par means that each person drinks the set amount previously decided upon. If one person drinks two drinks at that same establishment, their score is then minus one, meaning they drank one more drink than everyone else. If another person doesn't drink at all, their score becomes plus one. The object is to meet par or to have the fewest amount of points at the end of the game.
Each team carries a score card during the game. Zehner says to have a person on a different team initial the score card when a drink is finished so there is no cheating.
drink at another, and a shot at a third place.
When Zehner played bar golf last year, par was set for one drink at each establishment. However, he said his friends set a zero tolerance policy on weak drinks. Participants had to drink beer or a single mixed drink of some kind.
"No foofoo drinks. You can't do half beer, half lemonade. You can't do a girly drink," Zehner says.
Remember to give an allotted time frame to remain at each bar. For example, Zehner gave each player 20 minutes at each establishment before moving to the next hole.
Bar golf can be played during the day or at night. Hutchinson says to play at night to avoid complete embarrassment while walking to each hole.
"The evening covers up the stumbling, swerving and other traits associated with being drunk," he says.
The attire of the game is part of what makes it so much fun. Each player can choose to dress in the goofiest golf clothes as possible. Imagine plaid shorts, popped polos, loafers and oversized pearl earrings.
Once you have finished the ninth hole a winner should be determined. Prizes for the winning team can be whatever you can conjure: a stuffed animal, a trophy or if you're really up for more drinking, a free round of drinks.
Hutchinson says to skip the material prize and give the winning team exactly what they will be needing the next day.
It ain't your grandpa's game: Plaid shorts and argyle socks are optional in this alcohol-soaked "sport" of bar golf.

"A bottle of aspirin, warm bed and a good night's sleep would be a great prize," he says.
Zehner enjoyed his evening of bar golf because it was a fun way to spend time at the bars. He says there's a lot of competition and bragging rights involved.
"Everyone has a common thing that they're doing at the bar and everyone looks ridiculous. You're not just going to the bar and sitting down; it's active," he says.

GLOVES
For many people, winter means moving their cardio workout indoors. For others, though, it just means strapping on some extra clothing and braving the elements. However, there is one extra piece you might want to subtract from your winter workout wardrobe: gloves.
A recent study at Stanford University has shown that there are special blood vessels located in the skull of the feet that release body heat much faster
Inford University has shown that there are special blood vessels located in the palms and on the sole of the foot that release body heat much faster than other areas.
1
"You actually get 10 times more heat extraction from your hand than your arm," says study author Craig Heller, Ph.D. When you trap the heat with gloves, you are limiting your exercise capacity. By shedding the gloves, you can increase the intensity and time you spend on your workout, or as Heller says, "get a much bigger bang for your buck."

Adventures in And how one Jayplayer learned to be courteous to every customer Green Polyester
I should have known the first day I donned the polyester green vest and tie that I was in for an experience, rather than just a new job. If I couldn't tell from the wardrobe I most certainly should have learned from the events of the first day of work at what we call a hotel-motel.
On my first shift, a man whose face was swallowed by his glasses—the kind that make hub caps out of eyesfurtely stopped by and threw his keycards on the front desk.
"Have a nice day, Mr. Smith," Theo, my trainer, said, not moving for the keys until the man and his hub caps rounded the corner. Instead of going straight for them, Theo reached for a pack of handi-wipes just out of site from the customers. He used the wipe to grab and dispose of the keys.
He explained to me that, unlike other customers, we throw out his keycards rather than re-use them because we simply can't trust the sanitation of anything that comes from his room.
Once a week, like clockwork, he comes in for the Jacuzzi suite and asks for two keys. One key goes in his wallet, the other, under his windshield wiper. Sometimes in the night, a woman (or sometimes a man) walks in with a key in hand, often asking where the room number scribbled on a piece of paper is, and isn't seen again for another hour.
It's people like these we set our clocks to. They are our usuals, our valued customers. It's the kinks in this routine we dread. I was trained on the kinks on my
first day, as well.
With one hour left to go on my first shift, I was told I should start answering the phones. On the second call I answered, a woman asked for rates on a certain date. I had already begun to memorize prices, so I quoted her what I thought to be true. After typing in more information I saw there was a ten-dollar difference, so I apologized and corrected myself.
The woman on the other end of the line, well-on in years judging by the sound of her voice, came completely unhinged. She ravaged me with curse after curse for nearly five minutes. She called me many things, most of which rhymed with "runt," "witch," and... "mass soul."
I stared at the phone and
wondered if this was a test. Was this a job I could honestly take for more than a week? How much should you put up with for a steady job?
Getting slapped, apparently.
H
.
I stuck with it and a few months into the job, a foreign exchange program put several students up in our hotel. One in particular was Natasha.She was in her 30s,and spoke little English. All conversations between us were lost in translation,which I found out when she tried to make a long distance phone call.
The first night she was there, she rushed to the counter and shoved a plastic card in my face.
Kyle Gray
"I call Kazakhstan!"
Withhandgestures
and pointing I tried to explain how to use the calling card, but all she would say was "i call Kazakhstan."
She finally walked away to the computers across the lobby to figure it out.Five minutes later I got a phone call.
"Good evening..."
"I CALL KAZAKHSTANI" she yelled into the phone, and began reading me
the number she wanted to call.
I kept trying to explain to her that it was me at the front desk, but she couldn't understand. Finally, I politely hung up. She called six more times! Every time I shouted louder so that she might hear me across the room.
Finally, on her
seventh try, I put the phone down on the counter and walked over to her. I tapped her on the shoulder, picked up the phone and said, "It's me!"
She turned back to her phone, "I call Kazakhstan!"
I hung up the phone and walked over to her to dial the card and number for her, but when I reached for the phone, she slapped me.
I was lost for words. I dug my heels into the carpet and turned around, went back to the desk and finished my shift, red in the face.
More than a year into working for the same hotel I'd grown accustomed to the wide variety of odd customers. Mr. Smith and his late night visitors were just the regulars, and no customer, no matter how crotchety, could dig under my skin. It had officially become just a day job.
In September, not 15 minutes into one of my shifts, the head housekeeper came in and told us to put a guest in for one more day because he had a do-not-disturb sign on his door, and she had peeked in to find him asleep.
I noticed we had extended his stay the day before, too, and jokingly said,
"Wouldn't it be funny if he were dead?
We could be on the news!"
Something about
my joke struck a chord with the housekeeper and she decided to get our maintenance man to check on the quest.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY
I had to run errands, deliver towels and go through the daily monotony that comes with my job.When I got back to the front desk, I heard sirens.I asked one of my co-workers what was going on and he said that the man I had joked about was, in fact, dead.
Immediately I ran outside to make sure the housekeeper was okay and to see if there was anything I needed to help out with. It wasn't until I saw the guy that I realized there was a dead man at work.
Work didn't stop. It couldn't. We went on checking guests in and out, and taking care of their every request, no matter how odd. I didn't think I was at all affected until we found him on our surveillance back-up video.
I watched the man I had seen dead in a bed only hours before walk up to the front desk, get a room, smile at the clerk. It was eerie. I had checked people in so many times and a week later I probably wouldn't be able to pick them out of a line-up. Had life at the front desk hardened my heart?
ILLUSTRATIONS BY BECKA CREMER
I went back to the front desk and resumed checking in guests.
"Driver's license and credit card, please."
"How many keys would you like?"
Then I remembered the man in the video.
"How are you doing today?"
The guest smiled, "Great actually, thanks for asking."
