Members of The Potter Lake Project purchased three aerators, which now lay on the bottom of the lake floor and add oxygen to water, in the hopes of preventing further fish deaths. Volunteers breathe life into lake Students install cleaning system in Potter Lake BY ALY VAN DYKE avandyke@kansan.com A student initiative is increasing efforts to save the fish in Potter Lake and restore the lake to its original beauty. Volunteers with The Potter Lake Project installed three aerators and a skimmer last week to increase oxygen levels and clear out plant material. The team purchased the systems with money donated from alumni. "I'm happy to be helping out with this," said Melissa Allen, St. Louis graduate student; and vice president of the project. "The lake is an asset to campus and students and the administration alike." The project's goal, she said, is to The project's go restore the lake by 2011 — the lake's 100th birthday. Members of project created a 35-page proposal, which they presented to the administration last spring. Allen said the administration was supportive, but needed more specific details before they would contribute financial support "A lot more people used to spend time there. Potter really in no way resembled what it looks like today." While members of the project update the proposal, Allen said, students and advisers are going down the project's list of 23 recommendations to restore the lake. As of Monday, the oxygen levels in the lake had increased significantly from levels recorded before SCOTT CAMPBELL Associate director for outreach and public service the aeration system was installed, said Scott Campbell, associate director for outreach and public said he had recorded oxygen levels that were too low for fish to survive. Though an actual estimate of the number of fish in the lake is difficult to determine, Campbell said several hundred fish had died since earlier this summer because of the low oxygen levels. service with the Kansas Biological Survey. He said the systems couldn't have come at a more crucial time, citing the vegetation that now covers 100 percent of the lake's surface. He said vegetation covered 70 percent of the surface last year. "I don't ever remember seeing it Campbell also as bad as it is this year," he said. And Campbell would know — he grew up two blocks from Potter Lake and remembered fishing at the lake as a boy.

The waters are covered with a thick layer of lime green vegetation, and the sewage smell emanating from the lake is enough to keep students from getting too close.

Simon, Omaha, Neb. junior, is recruiting fans of the horror genre to form a new student group, calling the group "Bleeding Kansas," a name taken from Lawrence's own gruesome past. Simon said he hoped to attract students from all fields of study who appreciated all forms of horror. "I want it to be for people that are interested in any sort of horror activity," Simon said. "Id really like it to be intermedia — movies, music, books, video games." He's only been working on the project for the past three weeks,putting up fliers on bulletin boards across campus and creating a Facebook group.In that time,the group has gained more than 30 members.Student interest aside,to gain recognition as a student group from the University the group needs one more thing — a faculty sponsor. "I imagine there is a faculty member somewhere who is a total horror freak but I haven't found them," Simon said. The University's film department has some. The department's main sound stage in Oldfather Studios is named after Herk Harvey, a former professor and director of cult horror classic, "Carnival of Souls," which was partially filmed in Lawrence. Liberty Hall will screen the film during its monthly "Midnight Movie Madness" Sept. 19. Simon said one of the reasons the group needed University recognition was to work with other student groups in an effort to explore the horror influence at the University and in Lawrence culture.

She said she thought the changes were unnecessary. 2009 when concerns were raised over existing policies. Next year, all two-wheeled vehicles, excluding bicycles, will be required to purchase a permit and be allowed to park only in designated "cycle" areas instead of at bicycle racks. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said that because mopeds had started becoming a more popular mode of transportation on campus, the Parking Commission thought it necessary to consider new on-campus regulations — in part to accommodate the overcrowded bike racks. "There's no point in having a moped if it's classified the same as a motorcycle," Flickinger said. "Mopeds were supposed to be nothing more than a bike." "It used to be very apparent what was a moped or motorcycle, but the lines are more blurred now," Hultine said. "It's time to make changes." Hultine said the parking department would implement the change over the course of two years by changing permit prices, deciding which places needed more cycle parking this year and prohibiting moped parking on campus during restricted hours next year.

Associated Press Who's Whoat KU Kelsie Lange BY KRISTEN VERMEIRE kvermeire@kansan.com This year, Lange joined the elite ranks of the three drum majors for the Marching Jayhawks. She will be conducting alongside Hannah Wagner, Ames junior, and Brian Fassold, Olathe senior. Kelsie Lange, Lawrence junior, remembers the time in the ninth grade when she told her grandmother that one day she was going to be a drum major at the University of Kansas. Years later, Lange has made that dream a reality. The beginning of football season means the kick off to the best time of the year for band members. "I am mostly looking forward to pregame. It caught my attention most as a member of the band," Lange said. "The whole thing is kind of overwhelming. It will take some getting used to." Lange said. The drum majors are responsible for leading the band out of the tunnels and onto the field to begin the pregame show. Although conducting a band of nearly 300 members in front of a packed Memorial Stadium can be nerve-racking, the adrenaline rush is immeasurable. Jennifer Kelsie Lange, Lawrence junior, is one of the three new drum majors for the KU Marching Jayhawks. Lange will help lead the band out of the tunnels before football games at Memorial Stadium. Lange has been in band since the sixth grade and plays bass clarinet for concert settings, as well as baritone for marching. She has also been involved in the Army Band Jerry Wang/KANSAN for the National Guard for three years, which has upped her repertoire as a player and allowed her to play with a varied group of musicians. The Army Band rehearses drills one weekend a month and performs at National Guard bases. "A lot of marching has a very militaristic feel to it, especially pregame." Lange said. sory committee and as a section leader, Lange is ready to take on the 2009 marching season. "The tradition would be the biggest expectation I have to live up to as a drum major.

Courtesy of University Archives, Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas **Students swim** and canoe in Potter Lake on a sunny afternoon in 1920. Potter Lake was built in 1911 and, until 1924, was used for swimming contests, rowing and ice-skating. Today, however, the lake is overrun with plant life, which has turned the lake a lime green color and suffocates the fish that live below. The lake also emanates a powerful odor that keeps students out of the water and the surrounding area. held thousands of pounds of plant material this year, which is one of the leading causes of oxygen depletion. The abundance of plant life increases oxygen levels during the day, he said. But once the sun goes down, no more oxygen is added to the water so plants, fish and decomposing material deplete what oxygen is left. Campbell said the process may become more severe this fall, as aquatic plants die off and leaves fall in the lake and decompose. Campbell said the other problem with the lake is that, like other lakes in Kansas, Potter Lake is man-made — the proper term is reservoir. Each lake in the state has a lifespan measuring how long the lake will last before it fills with sediment, he said. Allen said that the aerators and skimmers were short-term solutions, and that the group was trying to raise the $70,000 required to remove the sediment and essentially restart the lake as a long-term solution.

I will help you. Photo illustration by Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN Some think the group could help the reputation horror has recently taken on. John Tibbetts, professor of film who has taught horror classes, said he feared the trends in horror that had developed lately. A new group has formed to promote horror films on campus and is hoping to become an official University organization. The group is still looking for a faculty sponsor. "I love horror." Tibbetts said. "I love the whole subject. But recently it's all teenage pures. Before that it was goths. When horror becomes a fashion statement, I have a problem with it, because real horror cuts so much deeper." Claire Howard, Pittsburg freshman, said she thought contemporary horror could use the help. "I like being scared, but not disgusted," Howard said. "I'm not interested in seeing someone saw their own hand off." "I think horror movies that come out now are too into gore and really stupid plot lines," Bell said. "If you write horror it's just 'How can we make this person's death interesting?'" Clinton Bell, Pittsburg freshman, agreed and said there could be an overload of gore in newer films. No plans for any event have been made yet, pending the pursuit of official student group status. "My goal is to do something really cool for Halloween time," Simon said. "I thought, for sure, we had to have something in October or we would be a total failure." Edited by Abby Olcese Simon said he hoped to have the group ready to plan events as Halloween approached.

The price will remain the same next year. existing lots or that we have to take away from automobile parking," Steve Schrock, chair of the Parking Commission, said. Rebecca Beaulieu, Lawrence junior, said she thought that because motorcycle lots were so close to campus and the permits were so cheap, it was still convenient to ride to class. Both Schrock and Hultine said these changes were important to the University's well-being and were being made mainly for safety reasons. Their goal is to keep as much traffic off of Jayhawk Boulevard as possible. They said students rode their mopeds all the way up to the bike racks, creating the possibility for pedestrian collision, instead of stopping at the sidewalk and walking it to the bike rack. ped riders. Hultine said the Parking Commission was still considering ways to accommodate additional cycle parking. "Almost everyone who spoke up about the change has had a close call with moped riders on the sidewalk," Hultine said. "No one has been hurt yet, but we need to make sure that doesn't change." "Riding a moped on campus is no more dangerous than riding a bike," Flickinger said. "We respect people on the sidewalk and road as much as they do us." "Even with the changes," she said, "it's still a great alternative to walking and riding a bike." Hultine said the lots already designated as motorcycle parking areas could be expanded in order to accommodate the additional mo- Flickinger said she didn't think that changing the on-campus policy for moped parking would change much. Although moped riders on campus will have to adjust to the policy change, Schrock said the commission was doing its best to locate where the additional parking was needed. "It's possible that students who ride mopeds won't like the change," Schrock said. "But ultimately this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed." ADMINISTRATION Registrar's Office makes transcripts available online Students can request to get PDFs on Web site for higher fees Edited by Jacob Muselmann BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrechtkansan.com The days of having to make a trip to Lawrence or wait for the mail to receive a KU transcript have ended. Since July 1, the Office of the University Registrar has given students and graduates the option to order and access their college transcripts online. Joan Hahn, assistant registrar at the Registrar's office, said the growing demand for transcripts online had already become evident. "It didn't take long at all," Hahn said. "The online orders outdistanced the paper orders within the first couple of weeks." Hahn said that after Oct. 1, all former and current students wanting transcripts would have to order them online because the University would no longer accept paper transcript orders from anyone but employers. The new online ordering The price for priority requests, she said, has increased from $15 to $20. Ashley Thompson, Overland Park graduate student, said she thought the extra convenience of the online system would be worth the cost after she struggled to access her transcript last December. Thompson was living in Washington at the time and trying to apply for graduate school. She said she eventually ended up sending her younger sister into the Registrar's office system is not the only change the University made to the process for obtaining transcripts. to pick up her transcript. "We've done this for dozens of schools across the country." ASHLEY THOMPSON Graduate student Hahn said the added speed and accessibility would cost students an extra $2 on top of the $8 fee that already existed for regular requests. "Applying for grad schools is quite a process in and of itself," Thompson said. "I think if I could have just printed off my transcript myself, if I could have just scratched that off the list, that would have made it a lot RON HYMAN General manager, Avow systems He also said that one of the greatest benefits of the PDF transcripts, in addition to their easier accessibility for students, was their security. more pleasant. It would have most definitely simplified things." The University contracted with Avow Systems, a company that has set up similar systems with other universities, for the project. Avow Systems general manager, said KU students could receive a secure PDF version within minutes of completing the online priority request anywhere in the world. Ron Hyman, Hyman said. "The system that you've put in place certainly is the Cadillac of all systems. The way you are handling this is the most advanced that we've done." "We've done this for dozens of schools across the country." After students finished submitting their requests, he said, they would receive an e-mail with a link to a secure Web site. Hyman said there, they could either enter their online KUID and password or they could opt to answer a series of personal questions to verify their identity. Bill Myers, director of KU Information Services, said Information Services helped work behind the scenes to make the program both as secure and as convenient as possible for students. He compared the security of the new system to other secure Internet resources already implemented at the University, such as Enroll & Pay. "It's definitely as secure as anything." Myers said. "When things involve student, faculty and staff information, they have to meet government standards." Hahn said the University had the eventual goal of using programs for students to obtain other secure documents online, including enrollment certification forms and statements of degree.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: ASKED TO PICK HER PREFERRED APPAREL, THE FEMALE CARTOON MOUSE DECIDED UPON A MINNIE SKIRT. Today's Cryptouquin Clue: D equals P Brown says he still loves Rhianna despite beating ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown says he doesn't remember savagely beating Rihanna and claims he still loves his former girlfriend. In his first public interviews on the subject, the R&B singer told People magazine and CNN's Larry King that his feelings haven't changed for Rihanna since the February beating that left her bloody and bruised. Brown told King in an interview scheduled to air on Wednesday night that he was still in shock about his actions. Brown's mother, Joyce Hawkins, accompanied her son during both interviews. "When I look at it now, it's just like, wow, like, I can't believe that actually happened," Brown told King. "I never fell out of love with her," Brown told People. "That just wouldn't go away." Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault in June and last week was sentenced to five years of probation, a year of domestic violence counseling and six months of community labor. He will serve his sentence in his home state of Virginia. A police affidavit and probation report detail the beating, which included Brown hitting, biting and choking Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. The attack occurred in a car after the couple attended a pre-Grammy Awards party. STARRING Brown's interview with People will be published in an issue released on Friday. He told the magazine he called his mother, who was a domestic violence victim, the night of the attack. A judge also ordered Brown, 20, and Rihanna, 21, to stay away from each other. "I was distraught. I went to my mom on the same night and told (her) what happened and broke down." ASSOCIATED PRESS Chris Brown looks down during his sentencing for assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna, at Los Angeles County Superior Court in Los Angeles, Tuesday. Brown was sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor.

The problem lies with incoming students who are not fully prepared for college academic standards EDITORIAL BOARD Raising admission standards will benefit all students The Kansas Board of Regents should raise admission standards for incoming freshmen at the University to benefit all students. Raising admission standards would help to eventually raise national rankings as well as ensure that new students are fully prepared to enter collegiate academia. Gaining admission to the University is not seen as an achievement in the eyes of incoming students, but instead as a fallback choice. Even so, 20 percent of the freshman class drops out by the end of first semester. The parallel is clear: It is easy to get in, easy to drop out. Retention is key to raising graduation rates. And raising graduation rates is key to higher rankings among other public universities in the nation According to Marlesa Roney, Students who achieve just one of the University's admission standards can simply coast through the rest of their high school career, and right into the fall semester. These requirements are an ACT score of 21 or higher, rank in the top third of graduating class or a 2.0 GPA in the Qualified Admissions "I think they need to be changed." Roney said of admission standards. "I believe that it is important for students in Kansas to have a better understanding of what it takes to be successful." pre-college curriculum. However, an important distinction needs to be made between having higher rankings as a goal or as a result. Changing admission standards with students as the first priority will eventually result in higher rankings for the University, but the benefits for students along the way are endless. "When we admit students we are making a judgment that they can succeed." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a speech on May 30. "And, I think the process of admission is one in which we want to be deliberative, in which we look at students, at their preparation." KANSAN'S OPINION Roney agrees that changing admission standards is not to be taken lightly. She said that any changes would have to "assess students' willingness to work hard" and "readiness to be in a college environment." The Kaisai agrees with Rolley — that judging a student's ability to succeed is "not a college test score, but more or less a concept of academic maturity." In 1996, according to kansas-regents.org, Kansas changed its admission standards from an open policy to a qualified one. This means that just more than a decade has passed since Kansas has had any sort of admissions criteria for incoming students. Roney said another pivotal change was made during the spring semester. Previously, the state required legislative action to change any admission standards at public state universities. Now, admission requirement changes have been delegated to the Kansas Board of Regents. A task force has been set up to assess the effectiveness of current standards and to propose changes for the benefit of the University and students However, there is no quick fix in the business of changing admission requirements. Any changes approved by the Board of Regents cannot go into effect for four years to give high school students time to adjust to the new qualifications. Students need to be prepared to face a new challenge in coming to college. The University is foremost an academic institution concerned with student success in life after graduation. Admission requirements should be raised as a way to prepare incoming students, and to look forward to higher national rankings in the future. — Kara Walker for the Kansan Editorial Board THINK ADMISSION STANDARDS SHOULD BE RAISED? Contact The Kansas Board of Regents www.kansasregents.org/contactboard (785)296-3421 FROM MASSACHUSETTS The truth about Twitter Our generation has never really lived without the Internet. Online fads com MAGGIE LIU Massachusetts Institute of Technology The Tech internet Online fads come and go (remember MySpace?) but in recent years the Internet has seen an explosion of dynamic services. In fact, there seems to be so many means of connecting to people virtually that it has become overwhelming. What exactly sets Twitter apart from the dozens of other social networking systems out there? Aside from the obvious catchphrase name, I'm puzzled by Twitter's hype and popularity. . Twitter has received a great deal of media attention — and usage — due to its use as a publicity mechanism for both celebrities and politicians alike. President Obama used Twitter frequently during his 2008 presidential campaign, and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey boast more than two million followers. But as far as I can see, the only reason I would get it is to follow the tweets of the "Twilight" cast. It's not that we're becoming any less of social beings — it's merely that our socializing methods have transcended actual reality. And with these new methods come all forms of online etiquette that must be observed. While it is impossible for me to deride all forms of social networking websites, I admit that Twitter does reflect a lot about our generation's lifestyle. Twitters' popularity also underscores our decreasing attention span. Think about it. We went from blog entries to Facebook posts and now to two line messages? The heart of the matter is that Twitter exposes every moment of one's life to others. Although users can set Tweets private, the concept of Twitter is what irks me the most. Isn't it better to be living the moment, instead of twittering about it? Who are you living for? Yourself or your followers? To avoid these issues, I think my fall semester resolution will be to abstain from these "social networking" sites and revert to that primitive communication system we call "e-mail." — UWire No excuses for being uninformed STUDENT LIFE "What are you supposed to know then?" I asked in reply. I remember asking one of my Asian friends if she knew who the Kansas governor and University chancellor were last year. "Who would know that?" she asked. "It is a question for journalism students like you, and those who eat newspapers every day." I was stunned. Information circulates so fast that anyone can reach almost anything. However, people haven't paid enough attention to what's going on in society. In Macau, China, my hometown, I find this to be a common trend among teenagers. They even feel proud of their poor social awareness. What's the problem? INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE JOSIE HO "It's not my business to know about taxes, the fluctuation of housing prices, insurance and stuff like that," a 12-year-old boy once told me. "My parents will take care I believe it's a matter of the stability of life. Macau is a relatively stable society. Kids are materially rich and lack a global perspective. They truly believe that "no news is good news." of them." That reasoning might be right for a child, but not when that child grows old. I'm not saying everyone has to be a genius, but we cannot shut ourselves into our own worlds and forget about the larger society. To be honest, I'm not sensitive to current affairs. Reading newspapers and watching news reports were never part of my daily routine until last semester when it became part of my homework, which helped me with my coursework and enhanced my social awareness significantly. Last summer I realized the importance of being informed of global news while working in the publicity department of my dad's election campaign. On the first day of work my supervisor told me to go through our history of legislative elections and the background information of our organization. While doing this I realized my poor understanding of my father's work and our society as a whole. Because I paid more attention to international news in my first two years of college, I had a hard time adjusting to life in Macau. It was shameful to say that I am a Macanese. "This information is just common sense to us as they are what our work is based on," Jill Wong, a policy researcher for my father's campaign, said. "You can't be a kid all the time." When you step into the job market, you may miss the days of being a student. Learning is a life-long and endless process. Treasure your opportunity to be easily accessible to information. By the way, do you know who our new chancellor and Kansas governor are? Ho is a Macau, China, junior in journalism. EDITORIAL CARTOON MERCANT PATTERN 24 The flu scare: A good excuse to stay in your pj's all day. MARIAM SAIFAN LGBT Let's make a list of everyone God hates, shall we? God hates: Fags, Jews, Greeks, Feminists, Jayhawks, Liberals, Conservatives, America, you, me and everyone we know. Weapon of choice against God-fearing preachers Okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get my gist. God hates everyone, or so people such as Brother Jed preach. If you were on Wescoe Beach last Wednesday, you probably saw our recurring, fear-God-or-go-to-hell visitor preaching about loving Jesus while damning 99.9 percent of the world. You also would have seen the students standing near him holding up paper signs, occasionally shouting phrases such as "I heart vagina" and taking pictures with Brother jed to point out the ridiculousness of the situation. Since when has anyone ever ignored a yelling match? Never. You stay and watch. It's exciting! So, a big crowd of students holding crude signs and jeering at a man who is already making a spectacle of himself just brings him exactly what he wants: an audience. LEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN Though I'm clearly not a believer in this man's hateful way of preaching the word of God, nor do I believe that all of those listed "damnables" are going to hell. I'm also not a fan of how some of my fellow students responded. I'll admit that I have the urge to go up and yell at people who say such deplorable things and make God out to be some kind of being to be feared instead of loved, but that's exactly what they want. My fellow students, this is my plea to you as a gay person, as a Jew, as a flaming liberal, as a Jayhawk, as a living, caring, breathing, loving human being. The next time this man or someone else comes onto campus and launches into a puerile tirade, I beg of you, walk past in silence. Do not give them more than a glance. Our silence speaks volumes louder than our mixed cries. How erie would it feel to have this one man spewing his idiotic mumbo-jumbo with no one watching or with any other sound combining with his? Ask any professor who has lectured and received little response or a comedian who makes a bad joke: Silence is deafening. If you don't want to see this man or others like him return to campus, I ask you to consider silence as your reaction to his noise. I have spent four-plus years on this campus and 14 in this town. I've seen plenty of Brother Jed and others like him and have always walked by quietly. His message is not one I believe in. In my plea, I'm not asking you to defend me or my beliefs. I'm just asking if even a small part of you disagrees with the way this man abuses God and your fellow human beings to walk away from him. Just walk away.

SEPTEMBER1, 2009 Financial course reaches full enrollment two years after creation BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Like precious coins diligently saved in a piggy bank, enrollment in "Personal Finance" at the University continues to grow. This fall, enrollment in the course has grown to 145 students with others still on the waiting list, up from 100 students last semester, said Bill Lewis, who teaches the class. The course, first offered in 2007, gives students a look into topics such as loans, credit cards and personal investments. Lewis said the class offered a unique opportunity for students pursuing a degree in business or finance: learning how to take care of their own money. "We always teach people how to take care of other people's money," Lewis said. "In this course we're truly trying to teach you how you can take care of yourself and your own money." Lewis said the course had not changed to accommodate the economic downturn. Rather, he said he focused on financial fundamentals for his course. "The fundamentals are still the same for your finances," Lewis said. "What you need to do is understand them so you'll know exactly where you are in that mix. The basics that we're teaching, the fundamentals, work in whatever the economy is." Lewis said his class prepared students to know where their cash flows were coming from and where their expenses were going. He said students who could do that were "better able to miss out from some of the pain and anguish that people are experiencing" because of the economy. Scott Mitchell, Wichita graduate student and one of Lewis' teaching assistants, said the course helped students prepare for a wide range of financial issues. "This kind of gives students a leg up when they graduate, about the things they are going to face financially," Mitchell said. Ashley Clayton, Basehor freshman, said she enrolled in the course and put her money in a savings account to try to stay financially fit. "I don't think a lot of students know how to spend their money wisely going into college," Clayton said. "I'm saving a lot of my money. I worked a lot over the summer, and that's going toward school and books. I have a very little fund for my 'fun' money." The course is now open to students pursuing any major, Lewis said. He said having juniors and seniors offered a benefit to the course. Lewis said juniors and seniors who enrolled in a portion of "Finance" would also create a mock investment portfolio starting with $100,000. He said the class was important for any college student to get the most out of college. "They appreciate it," Lewis said. "The juniors and seniors have been through a lot of these problems that we bring up in class, and we're telling the freshmen/sophomores, they can add to the class." "You're going to school to give yourself a better standard of living, a better life," Lewis said. "And if you don't watch your own finances, or understand how to operate your own finances, you might not have a lot of benefit that you hoped to have." - Edited by Lauren Cunningham PERSONAL SAVINGS RATE RUNDOWN Earlier this month the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the Personal Savings rate for June 2009. Overall, Americans saved $504.8 billion in June, or 4.6 percent of disposable income. Compare this to 6.2 percent in May 2009, 4.9 percent in June 2008, 0.6 percent in 2007, and a negative — Americans spent more than they earned — 1.5 percent in June 2006. NATIONAL Fire threatens L.A. observatory ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Mount Wilson opened the heavens and then became a modern hub for communications on Earth. Now it is threatened by a force of nature that humans may be powerless to control. The wildfire ravaging the mountains north of Los Angeles drew within a half-mile of the revered Mount Wilson Observatory Monday, threatening the birthplace of modern astronomy as well as a virtual forest of communication towers that serve the region. Firefighters protecting Mount Wilson retreated Sunday but continued to dump flame retardant around the towers, transmitters and telescopes from the air. They said little could be done to stop the advancing flames, or predict how much damage would be done if the blaze ascends the 5,700-foot peak. "Whether it runs up to Mount Wilson and does intensive burning or just burns slowly around Mount Wilson, that's up to the fire. We have no control over that," said Los Angeles County fire Capt. Mark Whaling. Dozens of buildings are scattered around the complex, along with a trove of telescopes housed at the century-old observatory. Firefighters worked for the past two days cutting fire lines around the most vulnerable structures. The goal was to minimize damage to the buildings, most of which are made mainly of steel and concrete. Virtually all of Los Angeles' TV stations — more than 20 — broadcast from an "antenna farm" on the mountain. If the antennas, transmitters or generators are damaged by the fire, the city could lose nearly all over-the-air TV broadcasts. Viewers on satellite or cable, which is about 85 percent of the population, would be unaffected. Stations that still broadcast signals from the area might be able to transmit from other locations. John Holland, director of engineering at KABC-TV in Los Angeles, said it's possible the TV station could stay on the air even if the fire burns through the complex. The station's antenna is sturdily built, and the transmitter at its foot is housed in a concrete building. The generator that kicks in if power is cut has several days' worth of fuel. If the fire does enough damage to shut down the antenna, the station would be off the air for at least a few hours but KABC has a backup on the way that could provide a signal to at least part of the city, Holland said. Most of the city's FM radio stations also broadcast from Mt. Wilson. Of the five FM stations Clear Channel Communications Inc. owns in Los Angeles, four have their antennas on the mountain. There are backup transmitters that could provide full coverage of the city, spokeswoman Michelle Clarke said. Unlike TV and radio service, cell phone service is short-range, so any disruption from the fire would be local rather than city-wide. The telescopes at the 105-year-old Mount Wilson Observatory were the premier instruments in astronomy in the first half of the 20th Century, and the first to show earth its place in its universe. There are far more modern telescopes, but the observatory is still being used to make discoveries. Just a couple months ago, a Nobel Prize-winning astronomer used Mount Wilson to discover that the star Betelgeuse appears to be shrinking. In 1920, Betelgeuse was the first star to be measured — and it was done at Mount Wilson. Mount Wilson "literally revolutionized our perception of the universe after Copernicus," said famed astronomer Wendy Freedman, director of the Carnegie Observatories, which ran Mount Wilson until 1989 when it was turned over to the Mount Wilson Institute. "It's really hard to understate the significance of Mount Wilson. These telescopes achieved something monumental." Hubble in 1929 used Mount Wilson to confirm that the universe is expanding. That led to the Big Bang theory of the universe. Welcome Students From SCOOTER'S COFFEEHOUSE 9th & Iowa Bring This In For Buy One Get One Free Smoothies Bring Your New Roommate!

LONDON — Forty years after the body of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones was found floating in his swimming pool following a binge of drugs and drinking, police said Monday they are reviewing the case in light of new evidence turned over by a journalist. Sussex police to review Stones guitarist's death Jones' 1969 drowning was ruled an accident, though friends and fans have long insisted the 27-year-old rock star was murdered, and reports have swirled of a deathbed confession by a building contractor. ASSOCIATED PRESS MUSIC "It's too early to comment at this time as to what the outcome might be," the Sussex duty inspector said, reading a statement over the telephone. Sussex police in southeast England said they will examine the new documents and have not yet decided whether to officially re-open the case. Brian Jones was a founding member of the Rolling Stones and reportedly came up with the band's A. D. M. S. name, taking it from a song title on a Muddy Walters album cover. "In the beginning, Brian Jones was the real catalyst for the Rolling Stones, the smart, handsome, multi-instrumentalist leader who loved the blues and galvanized the band," jasen Emmons, the director of curatorial affairs at Seattle's Experience Music Project, said in an e-mail. Jones stood out even among his bandmates for his flashy clothes and prodigious appetite for drugs. But he was quickly eclipsed by swaggering lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, whose songwriting propelled the band's popularity. He left the band a month before his July 2, 1969, death and was replaced by Mick Taylor. ASSOCIATED PRESS Brian Jones, Rolling Stones guitarist, left, sits with Mick Jagger at a press interview in 1965 New York City duiring a U.S. tour. British police said Monday they would review the 1969 death of Jones Two 1994 books have claimed that Jones was murdered by a London building contractor hired to Increasingly marginalized and drawn to drugs and alcohol, Jones was convicted twice on narcotics charges, avoiding jail by promising to quit his habit. "It was me that did Brian. I just finally snapped," Thorogood was quoted as telling Stones road manager, Tom Keylock, in Rawlings' help renovate lones 11-acre Sussex estate. "Paint it Black: The Murder of Brian Jones" by Geoffrey Giuliano and "Who Killed Christopher Robin?" by Terry Rawlings, said the builder, Frank Thorogood, confessed on his deathbed in November 1993 to killing Jones. Journalist, Scott Jones interviewed the woman who discovered the guitarist's body, Janet Lawson, shortly before she died last year. book. Keylock died in July. Scott Jones also spoke to Bob Marshall, the chief investigating officer in the case. Marshall, who retired in 1974, said he still believed Jones' death was "a tragic accident, a simple drowning."

Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY DAILY LANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 NEWS 7A BUSINESS Disney purchases comics giant Marvel Entertainment ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES'—The Walt Disney Co. is punching its way into the universe of superheroes and their male fans with a deal announced Monday to acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion, bringing characters such as Iron Man and Spider-Man into the family of Mickey Mouse and "Tov Stor" The surprise cash-and-stock deal sent Spidey "I love both companies. From every point of view, this is a great match." senses tingling in the comic book world. It could lead to new rides, movies, action figures and other outlets for Marvel's 5,000 characters, although Marvel already was aggressively licensing its properties for such uses. Stan Lee, the 86-year-old cocreator of "Spider-Man" and many more of Marvel's most famous characters, said he was thrilled to be informed of the marriage Monday morning. Buying Marvel is meant to improve Disney's following among men and boys. Disney acknowled- "I love both companies," he said. "From every point of view, this is a great match." STAN LEE Former president, Marvel Entertainment Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, was bought by Warner Bros. — now part of Time Warner Inc. — in 1969. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year and marks Disney's biggest acquisition since it purchased Pixar Animation Studios Inc., the maker of "Up" and "Cars," for $7.4 billion in stock in 2006. Comic book creator Stan Lee stands beside some of his drawings in the Marvel Super Heroes Science Exhibition at the California Science Center in Los Angeles March 21, 2006.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Marvel TV shows already account for 20 hours per week of programming on Disney's recently rebranded, boy-focused cable network, Disney XD, and that looks likely to increase, Iger said. The shows are "right in the wheelhouse for boys," he said. There will be There will be some lag before Marvel's trove of characters are fully developed at Disney, because of licensing deals Marvel has with other studios. sequels, starting with "Spider-Man 4" set for a May 2011 release. News Corp's 20th Century Fox has the long-term movie rights to the "X-Men," "Fantastic Four," "Silver Surfer" and "Daredevil" franchises. Both studios maintain those rights in perpetuity unless they fail to make more movies. Separately, Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures has a five-picture distribution deal for Marvel-made movies, the first of which will be "Iron Man 2," set for release next May. Paramount said it expects to continue working with Marvel and Disney. For example, Sony Corp's Columbia Pictures is developing the next three "Spider-Man" "Disney will have something guys grew up with, and can experience with their kids..." General Electric Co.'s Universal Studios has an attraction called Marvel Super Hero Island in Orlando, Fla., that will stay in existence as long as Universal wants to keep it there and follows the contract terms, Universal said. GAREB SHAMUS Founder, Wizard Entertainment Despite beginning to make its own movies, starting with "Iron Man" last year, licensing remained a key driver of Marvel's $206 million and in profit and $676 million in revenue last year. Iger said Disney could give Marvel broader global distribution and better relationships with retailers to sell Marvel products. However, analyst David Joyce of Miller Tabak & Co. noted that the $4 billion offer was at "full price." Marvel shareholders will receive $30 per share in cash, plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share they own. That values each Marvel share at $50, a 29 percent premium over Friday's closing stock price. The final ratio of cash and stock will be adjusted to ensure Disney stock makes up at least 40 percent of the final offer. Marvel shares shot up $9.72, or 25 percent, to close at $48.37 on Monday. Disney shares fell 80 cents, or 3 percent, to $26.04. Disney investors were probably unhappy that the deal will reduce earnings per share in the short term and might not turn positive until its 2012 fiscal year. Disney's earnings per share will drop partly because the company will issue 59 million new shares, and partly because Marvel plans to release two costly blockbusters, "Thor" and "The First Avenger: Captain America" in 2011. DVD sales of those films likely won't roll in until fiscal 2012. Disney said the boards of both companies have approved the transaction, but it will require an antitrust review and the approval of Marvel shareholders. If it works out, Marvel's chief executive, Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter, will pocket a hefty payday. He snatched Marvel assets out of bankruptcy in 1998, outmaneuvering investors Carl Icahn and Ronald Perelman. His 37 percent stake in Marvel is now worth about $1.5 billion.

Give him the lead going into the final round of the major, and victory is no longer as certain as death, taxes and Woods wearing a red shirt on Sunday. Watch him hit a clutch shot to the 18th green, and there is no guarantee he'll make the putt. Y. E. Yang delivered a shocker two weeks ago at the PGA Championship when he became the first player to beat golf's best closer, rallying from two shots behind Woods for a three-shoot victory at Hazelline. Woods rarely looked so human. And then on Sunday at Liberty National, he bled a little more. He was on the cusp of contention for most of the final round at The Barclays until the bell rang for the final lap. Then, Woods made a 10-foot birdie on the 14th to move closer to the lead, a 15-foot par put in the next hole to stay there, and a deft chip-and-run to 3 feet for birdie on the 16th that pulled him within one shot. Needing a birdie on the final hole to post the clubhouse lead, he drilled a 6-iron from 189 yards to the back pin at the 18th and listened to those familiar roars as the ball settled 7 feet from the cut. Tiger Woods acknowledges the gallery after sinking a birdie put on the 14th hole during the final round of The Barclays golf tournament on Sunday at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J. J.Woods has 81 tournament victories worldwide, and has finished second 32 times. TIGER Heath Slocum and Steve Stricker, tied for the lead, were on the 18th tree, as Woods stood over his bird duttt. Even from 467 yards away, it was not difficult to figure out what was going on. If the cheers were enough, that red shirt is hard to miss. "I guess you can't make 'em all." The ball slid by on the left side of the cup, and they could hear the groans — twice. Because the large video boards and TVs in corporate chalets had about a 10-second delay, the big news reached some people later than others. had missed it." That wasn't the case for Slocum. Despite hitting a fairway bunker, playing short of the green and hitting a wedge to 20 feet, he rolled in the best HEATH SLOCUM Golfer par putt of his life for a one-shot victory. Stricker had a chance to tie, but missed from 10 feet. "I guess you can't make 'em all"; Slocum said. Yang was the first to see for himself when he took down the biggest name in golf. Slocum beat a bunch of stars. The group one shot behind featured Woods, Stricker, Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington, who have combined to win 20 majors. All of them have been at least No.3 in the world at some point. "That's the way it goes sometimes," he said. The common thread in both tournaments was Woods having a Along with his 81 victories world-wide, he has finished second 32 times in tournaments recognized by the world golf rankings. chance to win, and Woods finishing second. Even so, this was only the fifth time in his career that Woods has finished runner-up in consecutive tournaments. The last time it happened was at the end of his 2006 season, when he was second to Yang at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, then surrendered a lead on the back nine to Harrington and lost to him in a playoff at the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan. Go back to 2005 to Unlike the other four occasions, Woods had a realistic chance of winning both times as he stood on the 18th tee. And the reason failure stands out so much is that it rarely happened before. find the last time it happened in America. Woods was runner-up to Michael Campbell in the U.S. Open, then tied for second at the Western Open in Chicago. No other greens confounded Woods quite like the ones at Liberty National. It was only fitting that he missed a 7-foot putt at the end because he had done that all week. On his first hole of the tournament, Woods hit a pure 5-iron to 10 feet behind the hole at No.10 and looked perplexed when it broke away from the cup. Even as he tried to make a move Saturday, his 67 was slowed by missing an 8-foot eagle put at No. 6 that stunned even one his playing partners, Zach Johnson. He missed from 5 feet later in the third round on No. "It it happens," Woods said Sunday. "Not too many golf courses that you misread putts that badly. This golf course is one." 15 and was spewing expletives all the way to the next tee. This year, Woods won his first PGA Tour event since returning from reconstructive knee surgery by making a 15-foot birdie putt on Besides, his loss is golf's gain, for it now puts some doubt into the outcome — if not in Woods' head, then the people watching, and even those trying to beat him. the final hole at Bay Hill. It was the same green where he made a 25-foot birdie put a year earlier to win by one shot, where he made a 15-footer to beat Phil Mickelson in 2001.

According to Texas Athletics Web site, Texas took in $25 million from season tickets and seating at its stadiums but spent only $14 million of that on construction. Kansas Athletics is also experiencing growth despite the poor economy. Fans bought record numbers of tickets this season. As of last week, Kansas had sold out of its popular Family Zone season ticket package and had introduced several new ticket packages to entice fans. Coach Mark Mangino said that fan support was very important to the success of the program. He said he recognized the commitment and economic sacrifice that fans made. "I appreciate it," Mangino said.

But during her second practice as a jayhawk, she heard a pop in her knee and got a slew of bad news. Torn ACL. Medical redshirt. Season over. "Id never had an injury this bad, so I had never been through the disappointment of missing so many games," she said. A newcomer only in terms of ingame experience, Goodrich has fully rehabbed her knee and will begin the first of her four years of eligibility. Goodrich said she felt as though all the missed time would be a driving factor for her this season. "it's going to motivate me a lot," she said. "It makes me nervous a little because I haven't had a chance to play, but I'm really excited for the season to start." Goodrich wasn't about to sing her own praises though, saying she just Humble and soft-spoken, Goodrich downplayed mentions of her various accolades, but coach Henrickson offered up high praise for the Oklahoma native point guard. "She's a little bit like Sherron," Henrickson said. "A player with a smaller frame who can do some things down low to score underneath those longer players."

TANIA JACKSON But with strong influence from her father, who played basketball in college, and an uncle who played professionally in the ABA and NBA. her talent for the game was too much to ignore. Growing up in Lawrence with a basketball family, it only seems fitting that Tania Jackson will don the crimson and blue this season. But it almost didn't happen. "I didn't want to play basketball at first," she said. "I was a track girl" "I had no choice but to play basketball." she ioked. The Jayhawks will benefit from the Lawrence High product's decision, getting a forward who averaged 10 points and seven rebounds per game during her junior year. As a freshman in high school, Jackson once scored 47 points in one game, a Chesty Lions game record. Statistics aside, Jackson said she felt she could bring some intangibles to the team. "Tania's got length, a lot of athleticism." Henrickson said. "She can face up, she has that post ability but she has range too." adidas After growing up in Lawrence, freshman Tania Jackson calls the opportunity to finally play in Allen Fieldhouse a "dream come true." Jackson graduated from Lawrence High School, where she set a record with 47 points scored in a game. jackson sat out her senior season at L.H.S. with a knee injury of her own but is eager to finally play at Allen Fieldhouse. Check back later this week for Part Two, featuring Marisha Brown, Annette Davis, Carolyn Davis and Monica Engelman. "Probably my energy," she said. "That was a big impact on my high school team." "It's a dream come true," she said. "I grew up coming to the games."

Then, more noticeably, there's Kansas' decision to sell courtside seats in Allen Fieldhouse for $15,000 each. Perkins said the seats were already sold out and would generate $750,000. Perkins said. And we waited a long time. We talked about how we have some history and tradition and we wanted to keep that." "For us to come up for a new concept with those seats, it's huge," Perkins said the economy — and the added revenue source - factored into the department's decision. "People are worried about their retirement,about their future and about their kids." "Oh sure," he said. "We did that because we wanted to make sure we had enough revenue to pay our expenses." So what, then, is the economy's effect on Kansas Athletics? LEW PERKINS Athletics director For starters, Perkins said the department had seen a slight increase in the number of donors asking for payment-plan options instead of simply paying all at once. He also said there had been a small decrease in the amount of donations. But Kansas will also look to cut costs when possible. Instead of flying to certain places, for example, Perkins said the Jayhawks would take a bus. "We're careful how we spend our money." Perkins said. "As I told all of our coaches and administrators, we're going to move forward and we're going to continue to build and work hard. But let's make sure we're spending our dollars on important things." But it's perhaps the easiest time to market Kansas athletics. Many have picked the Jayhawks to win the Big 12 North in football, and the basketball team should open the season as the No.1 team in the country. "The timing for us has been really good because right now everyone is talking about Kansas athletics," Perkins said. "It's like And women's basketball is expected to make a splash in the loaded Big 12 this season. Perkins said it made dealing with the economy more manageable. we've really worked our way and now the pieces are beginning to fall into the puzzle pretty good." Still, the economy is something Kansas is keeping a close eye on. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that Kansas was always watching the economy, but that monitoring at this point in time was even more critical. "It's as important as it ever was right now to talk with our donors and make sure that we take care of them," Marchiony said. Last week, Kansas' athletic administrators met to begin discussing a new five-year plan to follow the current plan. Perkins said the discussions hit every topic — ticket prices, seating plans and facility upgrades. And the economy remained an important part of the discussions. "It's hard to raise money and it's hard to get people to commit," Perkins said. "People are worried about their retirement, about their future and about their kids. And then we go in and hypothetically ask for a million dollars; it's hard." "So we have to be sensitive to those types of things. We have to be careful that we don't be arrogant about it and that we do it the right way."

He will begin working with the Athletics Department in October. "I am thrilled and honored to welcome Gale back to the Kansas Athletics administration," Athletics Director PRESIDENT Sayers Lew Perkins said in a statement, "There is no one better suited to take on this role. Gale obviously distinguished himself on the gridiron as both a collegian and a professional, but the example he also set in his career after football serves as a model to our student athletes and to the general student body."

NFL Bruschi to announce retirement Monday BOSTON — Tedy Bruschi is retiring after a 13-year career marked by an inspiring return to the New England Patriots as a starting linebacker eight months after a stroke. A person familiar with his decision told The Associated Press on Sunday night that the 36-year-old Bruschi will announce his retirement at a news conference Monday morning. Bruschi, an inside linebacker, played on all three Super Bowl-winning Patriots teams. He was hospitalized after experiencing numbness in his left arm and left leg and blurry vision and was diagnosed with a mild stroke. Associated Press Couture fought a good fight in UFC 102 MORNING BREW one of the guys I watched UFC 102 with Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings remarked as patrons filed out following the main event that it looked like fans leaving a Royals game. I didn't even have to ask if it was a game they won or lost. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (32-5-1) put a considerably-sized clown suit on all of us who thought that his December 2008 knockout loss to Frank Mir was not a fluke attributed to a staph infection that had been ailing him. It took him 15 minutes to silence doubters who thought his style for enduring punishment had finally caught up with him and that the 46-year-old Randy Couture (16-10) would stop him. Instead we watched a stirring conclusion to a highly entertaining card and on more than one occasion got punished for getting our hopes up that Couture would score a miraculous knockout that we could talk about for a very long time. Couture escaped numerous and seemingly impossible — submission attempts from one of the sport's finest. Couture's survival of knockdowns that would have ended the fight early for many others to sleep also impressed. BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR STOPMOVING YOUR LIFE Alas, the Tom Watson comparisons continue as Couture bogeyed on his final hole, too. That said, the fight was entertaining enough for each of the two to earn $60,000 Fight of the Night bonuses and for Couture to land a six-fight contract extension. I don't see him seeing it through, but if he fights for the duration of the contract we'll see a 50-year-old headliner. But again, I don't see it happening. As for Nogueira, the 33-year-old effectively put himself next in line for a shot at the heavyweight title and should face the winner SECOND-STRING RUMINATIONS of the Nov. 21 Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carin bounce at UFC 106. Ironic and coincidental situations seem to follow Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel everywhere he goes. Recall that Cassel owes his $63 million contract with Kansas City to a ligament-shredding hit by Bernard Pollard on Tom Brady in the 2008 opener. Needless to say, the importance of having a quality backup quarterback was illustrated in one of the higher profile instances in recent NFL memory. Now Kansas City's getting a taste of its own medicine, albeit in a much smaller dosage. During Saturday's preseason game against Seattle, Cassel was dropped on his first pass attempt and is looking at a two-to-four week absence because of a leg injury that would keep him out of the season opener and possibly the second game of the season. sive line for that but now we're about to again see the importance of having a backup quarterback on any football roster that can do more than hold a clipboard and make secret hand signals on the sideline. Credit an embarrassing offen So how does Kansas stack up in that area? Heaven forbid Todd Reesing goes down — in his senior year, no less — but for the first time since 2007, Kerry Meier is not listed as Kansas' backup quarterback. That distinction now belongs to Kale Pick, the 6-foot-3, 221-pound sophomore who spent the spring being groomed for the No. 2 position. Once Reesing and Meier depart, he could possibly go beyond that. During the April 11 scrimmage, Pick started unimpressively with a three-and-out on his first drive and an interception on his second. But one could notice a considerable change in demeanor and poise as the game went on as Pick finished with 154 yards off 16-for-26 passing.

THE MORNING BREW Federer, Williams defend their titles ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Roger Federer and Serena Williams began their U.S. Open title defenses Monday with easy wins in matches that will probably stick only in the memories of the players they beat. "My goal was to not get crushed," Britton conceded, "and Federer defeated NCAA champion Devin Britton 6-1, 6-3, 7-5, and Williams rolled over wild card Alexa Glatch 6-4, 6-1 to fashion a predictable start to the last major championship of 2009. He did, even breaking Federer's serve in the second and third sets, though he was unable to follow either by winning his own serve in the ing for a little while." "I was thinking, 'I'm up a break.

With his coach from Ole Miss in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Britton lost three straight games at love after going up 3-1 in the second. Glatch was in the same boat, pushing the second-seeded Williams in the first set before losing quickly in the second. One of America's top juniors earlier in the decade, Glatch received a wild card for the U.S. Open, only to find she was playing one of the best Grand Slam players in history. Williams, who has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, is going for her second straight and fourth U.S. Open title.

American John Isner won a 16-14 second-set tiebreaker, the highlight of a 6-1, 7-6 (14), 7-6 (5) upset over 28th-seeded Victor "It might have been a blessing in disguise," Isner said.

It remains to be seen — and if all goes as planned will stay that way — how Kansas' backups compare to the rest of the Big 12.

He won both those titles this year, holds the record with 15 Grand Slam championships and isn't showing signs of tiring. "I know tennis is not everything, so it's not a problem," said Federer, the father of 5-week-old twin girls. "But if I enjoy playing tennis, why should I stop just because I've beaten the all-time Grand Slam record? That's not what tennis is all about." He is looking for his sixth straight U.S. Open title.

I recognize and understand that any state in close proximity to Texas or Virginia must engage in a love affair with football, but there is something to be appreciated in the noncontact game of tennis. JAYHAWKS, BULLS AND BEARS The game can essentially be traced back to the time of the Tudor Dynasty in 15th century England, but its association to refinement and exclusivity is seemingly more removed today. In other words, excepting housewives playing in the Hamptons, tennis is largely accepted by the middle class, although tennis, along with golf, still shares a close tie to the country club type. t Particularly here at the University, many students lament that there isn't more free court space on campus or in the city of Lawrence. Just passing by the courts today, I saw the women's tennis team was practicing on one side, and students filled up the other. Speaking of which, Kansas not only has a fantastic women's team but also a tennis club that boasts about 50 members. Not to mention intramural tennis in fall and spring for anybody else who wants an even more relaxed way to enjoy the sport. Edited by Jacob Muselmann Of course it must be mentioned that there are other clubs and intramural teams at Kansas whose mere existence belie the state's stereotype. Many small towns in my region of southeast Kansas offer and encourage high school students to try tennis as a noncontact alternative to the more popular, but more injury-prone, games of football and softball. What's interesting is that my alma mater of Field Kindley, in Coffeyville, didn't even embrace soccer until 2001 and the men's swim team membership was in a constant state of flux, but the men's and women's tennis teams remained popular and immune to players' lack of enthusiasm. But it seems that although the numbers of tennis fans may not be newsworthy itself, the passion of those players is what makes note worthy the tennis movement in the land of basketball and football. Don't believe me? If there's another Federer-Roddick final or all Williams sisters final at the US Open in New York, friends on Twitter or Facebook will let you know.

Plans call for a newer, larger video screen to replace the current one inside Memorial Stadium. 'These upgrades — the ones that continue to increase Kansas' facilities in the Big 12 hierarchy — come at a time when the lackluster economy is affecting all parts of the country. They come at a time when people are watching their dollars with a more cautious eye. But the Athletics Department isn't slowing down. Athletics director Lew Perkins said that, money permitting, Kansas would continue looking to upgrade and improve. "I think it's a mistake if you look at slowing down." Perkins said. "I think if you slow down, it's going to put you further and further behind and the prices are going to go up every day.

In May, the conference gave back a record $130 million of revenue from bowl games and sponsorships in an effort to t help its schools athletic programs. However, Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe still asked teams to cut back. Beebe said that the conference hoped to save money by not producing printed media guides, by cutting nontraditional and exhibition games from the season and by limiting foreign travel and all-star teams Follow Big 12 football writer Hallie Mann at twitter.com/ halliemann11 "We need to be cognizant of returning revenue to our schools so they can support their programs."

Oklahoma State is one Big 12 university that has dealt with economic losses. The university stopped plans for its new stadium after its endowment lost $288 million in the stock market crash.

Like you said, I'm from the East Coast, a city girl, so going from the fast life to Independence, which is the slow life, was a big adjustment," she said. The change off the court wasn't the only one she was forced to deal with. "My game there, when I first attended, was basically undisciplined," she said. With the help of what she called a great coaching staff at Independence, Codio matured on the court during her sophomore season, turning in a campaign in which she averaged 16 points and 7 assists per game. Coming to Lawrence as a junior transfer, Codio said she felt the previous two years prepared her well enough to play on the big stage. "I haven't played at the D1 level, but I've played junior college basketball" she said. "So I feel like I have some type of experience, I kind of know what to expect and what not to."

More than half of students with ADHD prescriptions say they have been asked to share their medications. Some students use the drugs as study aids. Photo Illustration by Adam Buhler/KANSAN ADHD medication abuse on rise BY BETH BEAVERS bbeavers@kansan.com Lydia Krassensky, Washington, D.C., junior, began taking Adderall to treat her attention deficit hyperactive disorder, or ADHD, halfway through her freshman year. With the help of her doctor, she found the right dosage to help treat her ADHD. “If I wake up late, I don't take it. Krassensky said. “I know I will have trouble sleeping if I do.” — from 318 to 581 among the students who were surveyed — from 1998 to 2005. The number of prescriptions rose 80 percent during the same period. But Krassensky seems to be part of the shrinking number of college students who try to use their prescriptions correctly. A study released in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics showed that abuse of ADHD prescriptions, including Adderall and Ritalin, rose nearly 83 percent "It's not medication to take casually in any way," said Linda Keller, a psychiatrist with Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Keller said that at CAPS students undergo an extensive evaluation process, which includes various testing and educational programs, before any medications are prescribed. "I think there is a casual, cavail use among people who have not had the education," Keller said. "Specifically in the academic community, use has become much more widespread." Krassensky said she gets asked by friends and other students once or twice a month for some of her Adderall. "When people find out I have it they are interested," Krassensky said. "Definitely around finals people hit me up for it. It's not up to me to be the one deciding who needs it and who doesn't." In an article in the September 2009 edition of the Journal of Attention Disorders, 56 percent of the 115 college dent, and 26 percent actually gave or sold medication to another student. "Students who receive medication without a prescription have no education that students on the prescription have," Keller said. "Definitely around finals people hit me up for it.

Keller said students who took ADHD prescriptions improperly ran the risk of increased heart rate, higher blood pressure and paranoia. Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St., said one way to curb abuse was to prescribe medicines that Dr. Julie Boyston, psychologist at Bert Nash Community were harder to use incorrectly. She points to drugs like Concerta, another ADHD medicine, which cannot be opened or crushed and then snorted. Boyston said research has shown that interventions, which can include instruction on time management and support from job coaches, family and friends, whether in conjunction with medications or by themselves, can also be beneficial to students with ADHD.

Some in the room, after a few minutes, then started demanding a discussion on health care. Jenkins started by saying she was labeled as being a member of the party of "no." She said she had chosen to embrace that. "Folks, I'm going to vote no on every piece of legislation that comes before the House that I believe takes this nation and the people of the great state of Kansas in the wrong direction," Jenkins said. She said Republicans had overspent when they were in power earlier this decade. Half of the room applauded. "I'll be the first to admit that this administration inherited a mess," Jenkins said. The other half of the room applauded.

Jimena, just short of Category 5 status with winds of near 155 mph, could rake the harsh desert region fringed with picturesque beaches and fishing villages as a major storm by Tuesday evening. Asked how many people were paying attention, he noted wryly, "not many." Police, firefighters and navy personnel drove through shantytowns, trying to persuade some 10,000 people to evacuate shacks made of plastic sheeting, wood, reeds and even blankets. 2.

Asteroid Head shows off art BY ZACH WHITE white@kansan.com For the next week and a half a group of local artists calling themselves Asteroid Head are displaying their works in the Wonder Fair: Art Gallery & How! at 803 Massachusetts, in the basement underneath The Casbah Market. The show, called "Asteroid Head Would Like To Have A Word With You," is a collection of 64 pieces — eight from each of the eight artists in the collective, two of whom are KU students. Each artist came up with one word, like "harsh" or "Kenneth," then all eight created something for each word. The styles and materials vary from artist to artist, including prints to pens to paints, and are bound together by nothing but the same starting point. The idea for the show came from one of the members' meditation sessions at sunset during an event the group held this past summer. The weekend event consisted of nearly 100 Lawrence area artists and friends gathering to recreate a summer camp experience. The group divided into teams and competed in various competitions such as tug-of-war. The closing night of "Asteroid Head Would Like To Have A Word With You" on Sept. 12 also brings a reunion of the participants in this summer camp retreat to release the summer camp yearbook. The yearbook will feature pictures of the event and art inspired by it. "I think it's going to be the best opening in Lawrence ever." JASON BARR Olathe senior and artist "We took pictures with everyone in their team shirts and face paint," said Eric Dobbins, a member of Asteroid Head, and operator of the Wonder Fair gallery. "And we are putting those into an elementary school-type yearbook with collages and stuff." The collective hopes this event can help boost interest in art in Lawrence, particularly with students. Jason Barr, Olathe senior and member of Alerhead Head, explained that he tried to make the sort of things he wished were around when he first came to Lawrence. "This town needs to have more sick stuff," Barr said. "I think art in Lawrence is okay, Ryan Schick, Warrensburg, Mo, sophomore, agreed that Lawrence needed something. but it could go a lot further," Schick said. "People don't want to experiment enough." The event will also feature live music by Lawrence band Fourth of July, the ceremonial presentation of art from the gallery to a person who found a golden ticket tied to a balloon released by the gallery earlier this summer and a reenactment of the summer camp's closing ceremony. "I think it's going to be the best opening in Lawrence ever," Barr said. "It's just some far-out family fun." Edited by Tim Burgess NATIONAL F In a pinch, plane lands on highway ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS MANSFIELD, Mass. — A small plane with engine trouble made an emergency landing on a Massachusetts highway late Tuesday morning, causing a traffic jam but no injuries. A firefighter applies fire retardant foam around a plane that made an emergency landing on Interstate 495 in Mansfield, Mass., on Tuesday. The two men aboard were uninjured, and the interstate was reopened before rush hour. The two men aboard had been practicing stalls — slowing down the airspeed to the point that the wings stopped giving the plane lift, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters. Around 11 a.m., the pilot called Norwood Memorial Airport to report that he was having engine trouble and would have to land the 35-year-old single-engine Piper Cherokee on Interstate 495 in Mansfield, about 25 miles southwest of Boston, Peters said. "But the engine just quit and didn't restart." said Peters. were evaluated by paramedics as a precaution. State police identified the pilot as Matthew Kleindienst, 24, of Stoughton, and the passenger as Brian Souza, 21, of Stoneham. The pilot and passenger were already out of the plane when Mansfield fire officials arrived soon after the landing. The two The plane wound up nose down and with a collapsed undercarriage, taking up nearly all three southbound lanes of the highway. Firefighters used foam and sand to soak up leaked fuel. State police temporarily closed the entire southbound side of Interstate 495 on Tuesday afternoon as authorities removed the plane. The lanes were reopened just before rush hour traffic. HEALTH Smokeout events help student smokers kick their habit BY ALY VAN DYKE avandyke@kansan.com Donnie Aaron, Wichita freshman, tried to quit smoking six months after he started. He lasted a week. Now he's been smoking for three years and is up to a pack a day, he said. "I started out smoking socially, and I still smoke socially," he said. "But now I find myself smoking by myself too." Aaron said he planned to quit after college because he knew smoking wasn't healthy for him. be so easy. But, said Ken Sarber, health educator with Student Health Services, quitting after graduation might not "The numbers show that students who don't quit before graduation become smokers for life," he said. To provide students with information about how to quit smoking, Sarber and his team of peer educators offer four Smokeouts a year. This year's first is today. Though Smokeouts in the past have targeted tobacco use, Sarber said, this year the KU Smokeouts will offer information on marijuana use too. Sarber said the main goal of the Smokeouts was to start conversations with tobacco users who needed help. a non-aggressive way", he said. "Snokers aren't used to people coming up to them to help them in Sarber said he scheduled four Smokeouts a year in the hope that students would retain what he said and remember him when they wanted to quit wanted to quit. He said he also hoped the Smokeouts would encourage students to ask for help. Marie Wilcox, Chicago sophomore and coordinator of peer health education, said a number of her friends smoked socially, but were too embarrassed to smoke on campus.

KanUQuit is an opportunity from Student Health Services for students to receive one-on-one assistance in the battle to quit smoking, Sarber said. Sarber and the peer educators also will be distributing information filers about a free service for University students known as KanUQuit. "When you see how difficult it can get to quit smoking, it makes you want to help people more and more," he said. He said he worked with students to cut down their craving times to get to a first quit date, after which the student stops smoking for a week. Then, he said, the students come back into his office to talk about the experience, make adjustments and prepare for a two-week smoking hiatus. He said students either graduated from the program after the two-week stopping period, or he continued to work with the student to help them quit. KanUQuit started in January 2008. Since then, Sarber said, he's helped 35 people quit smoking. He said he wanted students who want to quit using tobacco to remember not to be too proud to ask for help and not to become discouraged if they didn't successfully quit. He said the average person tried to quit smoking five or six times before they were successful.

EDITORIAL BOARD Band Day parade will be a missed tradition this year For 62 years, thousands of high school musicians have marched up Massachusetts Street for Band Day, drawing a multitude of spectators from across Kansas and the community. This year, however, the University has chosen to serve corporate interests before the Lawrence community and longstanding traditions. The KU Band Day Parade was canceled this year because Fox Sports Net is broadcasting the game. According to a According to a University of Kansas press release, Fox decided the game will start at 11 a.m., meaning there isn't enough time for bands to parade down Massachusetts Street before kickoff. "It's disappointing," said Amber Coffman, Ottawa sophomore. "The KU Band Day parade was always something I looked forward to in high school." Coffman marched in the parade in high school and in the KU Marching Band. She said she always thought the half time show was the bigger part of the experience but she thinks that losing the parade is disappointing. With the football team now receiving nationwide recognition, the University's games are getting wider television broadcasts. Unfortunately, this also means the University has less, if any, control The University is a victim of its own success it would seem. KANSAN'S OPINION over the time home names will be played Losing the parade and its thousands of spectators also means losing a hefty amount of visitors to Lawrence, visitors who might have shopmed downtown The loss of all these customers is hardly inconsequential to downtown businesses in the current economy. Bringing hundreds of prospective high school students to the University also served as a great recruiting opportunity for the University, a chance fewer students will get without a parade to march in. "It's kind of a bummer," said Mike Jones, director of bands at Lawrence High School. "Our kids love marching behind the KU Band. We can't go this year." "As long as there's been a Band Day, we've marched in it," Jones said. The Lawrence High School band traditionally performed only in the parade and will not be able to attend KU Band Day this year. The University is trying to spin the national broadcast as a plus for band students, noting in a recent press release that they'll be exposed to a "nationwide audience." This may in fact be a worthwhile trade off for some of the bands, and especially the Athletic department's wallet, from here it could only start a slippery slope How many more decade-old traditions could go the way of the KU Band Day parade if they aren't conducive to the whims of corporate partners? layhawk tradition and the fans should be remembered as University sports progress forward. — Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board RELIGION Questions of faith should be asked while in college live off campus this year, which requires a daily navigation up the hill, around the cigarette butts and plastic red cups, on my way to campus. Finally when I reach the top, I pass by Spooner Hall, the oldest building on the campus. She whispers to any passersby aware enough to pause, turn down their headphones and listen. The old inscription across the building reads, "Whoso findeth Wisdom findeth life" The quotation is a paraphrase of an old Jewish proverb in which personified Wisdom calls out to be found. Each semester, students come to the University from a myriad of places for a myriad of reasons to answer that call. In recent years, we have sought her in databases, PowerPoint projects and Blackboard documents. But more than a century ago, when Spooner Hall housed the University's first library and Naismith was off somewhere pinning up a peach basket, students may have approached the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge with a slightly different READ RELIGIOUSLY JOSH HAFNER understanding. Their search is ingrained across campus. Twente Hall's bas-relief features the ancient Saint George, the doorway to the Campanile is engraved with the word, "Faith," counseling all who walk beneath to "Look to the stars through difficulty," and in front of Smith Hall kneels Moses before a burning bush, the very seal stamped on graduate's diplomas every spring. For them, seeking wisdom meant wrestling with the possibility of an unseen truth and whether such a thing could exist just beyond our scientific methods and measurements, somewhere between the scholarly and the sacred. In the minds of many who first founded and attended the University, the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge went hand in hand with the idea that such a journey led not only forward, but upward. Academia often intersected with the divine in the search for what is true about ourselves and our world. So what does this all mean? There was a time in the University's history when big questions about truth, beauty and the divine were asked during the academic's pursuit of wisdom. Though students still purchase paperback copies of the Koran for western civilization courses and appreciate religious art at Spencer Art Museum, the conversation about faith and spirituality seems fairly hushed on the hill. Political discussion is no longer taboo, so what about discussion on faith? Certainly we are all going to answer and confront these questions about faith — or lack there of — differently, but perhaps the greatest tragedy would be to not ask these questions at all, and miss out on the life that finding wisdom might bring.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In health care debate pick facts over scare tactics In his column of Aug. 31, Chet Compton warns a public health insurance option will "inexorably" lead to a government takeover of health care. Never mind that nonpartisan projections suggest otherwise, and that a public option is essential to salvaging the health care system. Although Compton claims that a public option would drive private insurers out of the market, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that only 11 to 12 million Americans will enroll in a public plan — and that takes account of employers who would shift their employees to the cheaper government option. In a nation of some 300 million people, that's a long way from mandatory socialized medicine Send letters to opinion@kansan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

Because a government-run option would, by definition, be not-for-profit, its administrative and overhead costs would be substantially lower than those for private industry, making it easier to bend the cost curve. Offering Americans this less expensive choice would spur competition from private insurance companies.

Though the facts on the public option may be inconvenient for Mr. Compton's case, they remain facts.

EDITORIAL CARTOON It was at that moment, after he realized the event had indeed been canceled, that John decided to enact his own one-man band parade. JAMES FARMER STUDENT LIFE Early birds get the grades How sleeping boosts GPA It starts softly at first, but quickly my alarm becomes a wailing siren so annoying that I am forced to jump off the top bunk and walk over to my desk and turn it off. It's 5:30 a.m. on the first Monday of class, and I have only myself to blame — and maybe my roommate. In June, Time ran an article covering the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, which detailed new findings on college students and sleep. After all, college students are not commonly thought of as morning people. If the rooster crows some of us might shoot it. But it turns out my roommate is actually onto something. During Hawk Week he casually mentioned that he was planning on waking at 7 a.m. every morning. Yes, I had the same reaction: He's insane. Different studies were cited that show a student's sleep schedule has either a positive or negative impact on school performance, depending on when he or she sleeps. Researchers found that students who described themselves as night owls — go to bed late and sleep late — had lower GPAs than those who described themselves as larks — early to bed and early to rise. According to one study, night owls averaged a 2.84 GPA at the end of their freshman year. Meanwhile, larks averaged a 3.14 GPA. Now, if my roommate knows this intuitively, I figure other people do, too. Maybe some people wake even earlier than 7 a.m. Let's be clear. I'm not talking about people who have to wake up early for a job or other obligations. I'm talking about people who do it because they truly want to. I wanted to talk to those JONATHAN SHORMAN HAWK LIFE people to find out why they do it and if it comes naturally to them. So now, at 5:45 a.m. on a Monday, I'm walking down a very dark and silent Jayhawk Boulevard toward the only place that I know on campus where you can go to study at unholy hours: Anschutz Library. I arrive, and I'm amazed at what I see. Nobody is there. There are no backpacks. The sound of clattering keyboards is absent. The not-so-hushed collaborative library that is Anschutz is silent. So I sit down and wait. Maybe I'm just too early. I spot only one staffer behind the desk hunched next to a computer and wearing headphones. And I keep waiting. I wait for 40 minutes, actually. Frustrated that no one has either come or emerged from another floor, I leave. Maybe there are fewer voluntary early-riders than I thought. I love sleeping, but I wonder what we could accomplish as individuals if we set the alarm clocks earlier; I wonder what we could accomplish if some of us dragged ourselves to Anschutz at 6 a.m. It's only a baby step, but I'm going to try to not sleep past 9 a.m. during the week. Maybe I'll get more done and have more free time in the evenings. It can't hurt, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a nap.

Branham said his firm was using blueprints to visualize what it would be like for someone to walk around the building.

RICHARD BRANHAM KU professor Branham said his eight-person firm, which was made up of former students, applied the lessons taught in his design classes. He said his work focused on applying academic theories of environmental cognition to determine how people interact with places and things. He said his real-world projects like Masdar took the place of a laboratory for research. "The real world is my lab," "A big part of industrial design is interface design," Siebert said. "You have to think about how people will navigate the things you create." Branham and his firm will be working with the Masdar Headquarters for several years. The city's Web site said it expected the building to be fully functioning by 2016. The roof will be constructed first and will be covered by solar panels which will help power the construction and future operation of the building. Once completed, the building will feature retail outlets, a hospital, food courts, offices, prayer halls and direct access to the city's electric-rail underground transportation system. —Edited by Betsy Cutcliff CAMPUS Group kicks off new lecture series BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com H. George Frederickson is looking forward to his free chocolate chip cookie. As the honored guest speaker of the new Brown Bag Lecture Series, he'll earn it. The new lecture series was created to bring in a real-world perspective of urban planning and is produced by the Kansas Association of Planning Students. It will kick off its first event today at noon in Melvin Hall. "The series is still in its infant stage," he said. "But we hope it will bring diverse people together from across the University to talk about serious issues of the day." KAPS is an organization for students interested in urban planning, an occupation that assists civic leaders, residents and businesses John Elias, Atchison graduate student and KAPS student president, said the program had potential to stir important discussions among students. plan for community growth. The lecture series will cover a broad range of topics and themes. Ellias said KAPS purposely chose speakers from different fields, including architecture, design and law, to draw in a diverse audience. Another unique characteristic of the series is it's informal setting; attendees are encouraged to bring their own bag lunches and enjoy free drinks and dessert. "He's a wonderful professor and very distinguished in his field," she said. Caryn Woods, Lawrence graduate student and KAPS treasurer, said that while the informal format might make the lecture series more approachable, the real strength was in its speakers. She said she was the one who invited Frederickson to speak at the first lecture. Woods said several students in public administration and political science would be particularly drawn to the series, but the topics could relate to anyone. wear a lot of hats in their jobs and successful planners have varied interests in many areas," she said. Frederickson, an Edwin O.

Frederickson has authored and co-authored 12 books and 45 articles. Elias said Frederickson's topic was exceedingly important to public politics. Professor Steve Padget from the School of Architecture will head the next Brown Bag Lecture on Sept. 15.

Others asked Jenkins to support expanded universal health care, Jenkins said she wanted to join the health care debate, but could not because she was not in the major- "It came to us at 3 a.m., I think, and we were voting on it the next day" jenkins said. "I don't know that I have made myself clear here," Jenkins said. "Democrats have unfettered power in Washington. That means my vote is not needed on health care." After the meeting, Jenkins said the size of the crowd was about average for what she had seen across her district, which included the western part of Lawrence, Topeka and Manhattan. "I appreciate them coming out and letting their voices be heard," Jenkins said. Mary Geiger, Jenkins' spokeswoman, said the office didn't know what to expect in the town hall events. "Congresswoman wants to listen to the concerns of all constituents and that's what she has spent this month doing." Geiger said. "I think she's heard a lot of concerns, from constituents across the board." Derek Martin, Prairie Village junior, said he was interested in what the congresswoman had to say because he was a political science major and wanted to hear from the people who were representing Kansas on a national level. "I think it's not only important that I know what they think, but also it's interesting just to hear what they have to say, because they're a national official," Martin said. Jon Seldin, Boca Raton, Fla. junior, said he liked the town hall atmosphere as long as it was civil and not disruptive. He said he favored a public option in health care. "I think it's beneficial to the country." Seldin said. Students such as Dylan Smith, Lawrence junior, who supported universal health care protested the event both inside and outside the Dole Institute. "We are one of the only industrialized countries, probably the only one, without universal health care," Smith said. "It just makes me sad to see with the great wealth of this nation, I don't understand why we can't extend a little bit of that money toward people who are less fortunate." Lawrence Bush, director of facilities and events for the Dole Institute, said the room was booked at the beginning of August, and should have been held at a larger venue given the overflow attendance. "When this was originally planned, it was only supposed to be a very small gathering," Bush said. "Only in the last few days had it turned to this."

"Basically, next to school it was really hard, because I needed to wake up like at 6:30 a.m. and practice before school," Dorn said. "And then after school I practiced a lot. That was it. It was hard, but I'm glad my parents were kind of strict with me." In fact, it was an opponent from her busy teenage years that led her to Kansas in the first place. Edina Horvath was a rival of Dorn's throughout their junior tennis careers. Horvath, one of two seniors from last year's team, graduated in the spring. Strict as they may have been, it was just the push she needed to break into Division I athletics. "It was my freshman year and I knew that she was looking for some universities.

Horvath said, After talking with the coaches, Dorn decided that Kansas was the place for her.

Kellis Robinett graduated from Kansas in 2005. He was sports editor of this very paper. And last week, he accepted a job offer at the Wichita Eagle. He is their new Kansas STATE sports beat reporter. The K-State fans, at least the ones who read the Eagle's Wildcat blog, are upset. They've been plastering the blog's comment boards with rage-driven messages such as these: Comment by OP_Cat: ...Please leave before this gets too ugly. You will never be accepted in the K-State Nation and this is not a controversy that is going to go away any time soon. Comment by Catfan06: What a ioke. Bye-bve subscription. Both Robinett and the deputy editor for news made retaliatory posts to defend themselves. Comment by GrumpyCat: Wouldn't bother moving to Manhattan, Squawk blogger. Maybe you should re-consider this position before you pack up and move. Seriously. Some of the anger stems from the Eagle's claim that they shut down "The Jayhawk Lounge," a KU fan blog, because it doesn't allow its writers to maintain personal blogs. Wildcat fans claim Robinett rips on Kansas State in several articles on the site. But it's Robinett's work for the Kansas that Wildcat fans find most troubling. In the 2005 Homecoming issue, Robinett ranked the football and basketball venues in the Big 12. Kansas State finished eighth. The fans are enraged mostly by the start of one sentence in that article, one that's been copied and pasted all over the Kansas State message boards: The fans are the ones in the wrong here. It would be understandable if they disliked Robinett because he did a poor job covering Kansas State sports. But he hasn't had a chance to do poorly or well yet: He's covered the teams for a week. It's unfortunate that Robinett may lose his job because the fans he works for are either questioning every word he writes or abandoning The Eagle completely. It's a bad situation for both sides. "Yes, there's a lot to hate about Manhattan..." But the Wildcat fans should give him time to prove he can be an unbiased, in-depth Kansas State sports reporter before showing him the door. As an aspiring journalist, I think Robinett has the right to bash Manhattan if he provides his rationale. And he does, says the football stadium still had wooden seats and that the PowerCat is "the most generic logo in the country" But Robinett must realize that as a KU alum, he will have to work twice as hard to gain the respect of his Wildcat readers.

Manager Lou Piniella showcased a lineup with Alfonso Soriano, Aramis R美irez, Derrek Lee, Kosuke Fukudome, last year's NL Rookie of the Year Geovany Soto, and newly acquired Milton Bradley as the core. The Cubs looked primed for a much needed trip to the postseason. Now, as we head into the last month of the regular sea son, Soriano is hitting .243. Soto an abysmal .212, and Fukudome .274. Is Fukudome really supposed to be hitting .274? Ramirez's season was injury plagued and Bradley has been mediocre. Alas, the Cubs find themselves trailing the Cardinals in the division and the Rockies and Giants for the wild card.

During a visit to the Washington Redskins, Goodell was asked about the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose season-ticket base dropped from 42,000 to about 25,000 this season. The decline is such that the club might not even bother asking for extensions to avoid blackouts this year. Goodell said jacksonville, one of the smallest markets in the league, is "one of the markets where we're seeing some challenges from ticket sales coming into the 2009 season." "And we'll have other markets that'll have those challenges. It's all part of the challenges that we're seeing in the economy, and what our clubs ROGER GOODELL NFL Commissioner "I think the fans have seen that the quality of the games aren't up to NFL standards." lockout in 2011. are going through," Goodell said. "Our clubs have been working hard in the offseason to create other ways to try to get people in the stadiums and to have policies that are a little more flexible, and hopefully they're going to pay dividends for us." The San Diego Chargers had an exhibition game blacked out for the first time since 2006. Other teams that could have trouble selling out their home games include the Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders, which both had blackouts last season. Ethan Albright, the Redskins' interim player representative to the union, said he told his teammates to save their money because the word from Smith is "the owners are taking all the steps to set up for a lockout in 2011." The Cleveland Brown's almost had its first blackout since 1995 for a preseason game last month. Goodell said some of the August ticket sales could be attributed to the nature of exhibition football. Goodell planned a meeting in Washington with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith. Goodell said it was more of a get-together than a formal negotiation. The NFL and the union talked about a new labor agreement to avoid a Listen, I think everybody in "I think the fans have seen that the quality of the games aren't up to NFL standards, so I think that's a factor," said Goodell, who is looking at the possibility of reducing the preseason and expanding the regular season. "Anytime you're negotiating you take a step forward and maybe a step back," Goodell said. "We're communicating, we're trying to get information to the union leadership, make sure they understand the challenges we're facing as a system and as a business and make sure they understand that so we can design a system that addresses the issues for the players and the coaches and the game." the nFL wants to play," Goodell said. "The owners want to play, the players want to play. It's our job to get a deal done. That's why I keep saying a lockout is not a strategy, nor an objective. What we want to do is get an agreement that works for the players and the coaches and the game and allows to continue to grow it." Goodell said Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, is "making the right kind of progress." He will consider Vick for reinstatement no later than Week 6 of the regular season. Goodell heard questions from players about the league's steroids policy, rules changes, and possible lockout. Redskins rookie defensive lineman Jeremy Jarmon asked an unusual question. "A lot of those issues I'm focusing on are off the field. How is he dealing with the transition? Does he have his family relocated? Does he have the right people around him helping him make decisions?" Goodell said. "Tony Dungy's been incredibly helpful. Donovan McNabb's been helpful. I talk to Michael on a weekly basis, if not more. I'll be meeting with him again sometime in the near future. ... He's focused on the right things." "He was talking about how we have rules to protect the quarterbacks," Goodell said. "And that you need more rules to protect defensive ends." BASEBALL MLB game rescheduled to respect Yom Kippur WASHINGTON — ESPN and Major League Baseball have agreed to switch the starting time of a Yankees-Red Sox game to avoid conflicting with Yom Kippur, a Jewish day of fasting and atonement. ESPN told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Sept. 27 game was returning to its original start time of 1 p.m. EDT. It changed to 8 p.m. to accommodate ESPN's schedule; Yom Kippur begins at sundown that evening. "I am pleased we were able to resolve this sensitive issue that impacted many baseball fans and are able to move the game at Yankee Stadium to 1 p.m." Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement, crediting ESPN for helping to "solve this conflict." ESPN will still televiSE the game. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. sent a letter to Selig and ESPN President George Bodenheimer urging to return the game to its original afterWnoon start time.

The telltale signs of a broken relationship between the diver and the swimming and diving team began shortly after her arrival at Kansas. This mentality continued on "When I was a freshman I didn't really like how the training worked," Mertz said. "I didn't feel it was at the level that I needed it to be, personally." into Mertz's All-American sophomore season, where she struggled to find contentment despite all of her successes. Eventually her frustration with the circumstances proved to be too much to handle, and Mertz informed the coaching staff at the University that she wished to leave the team. "I was really disappointed in the way the swimming coach treated me after I told him was leaving." Mertz said. "I felt as if he didn't respect me." Despite these feelings, her wish was granted as the team made no moves to convince Mertz to stay. "We wanted her to be happy and if moving on and transferring was going to make her happy, that's what we wanted her to do," swimming coach Campbell said. "I didn't really like how the training worked. I didn't feel it was at the level that I needed it to be." Following her release from Kansas, Mertz moved on to Purdue. t "They have a great team at Purdue and a good balance of work and Follow Kansan sports writer Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrew_taylor11 fun," Mertz said. While Mertz may have departed Lawrence, she still holds Kansas in high regard. ERIN MERTZ Former KU diver Junior backstroker Julia Kuzhil, said she hoped Mertz would continue her success. "I love the athletic program at KU" Mertz said. "She's really focused on what she's doing," Kuzhil said, "t wish for her to achieve her goals." Despite losing Mertz, Campbell has extremely high hopes for the team. "Our diving program is definitely going in the right direction." Campbell said. He mentioned that numerous divers have the potential to become Kansas' next All-American. Among the many divers he cited was Meghan Proehl, senior team captain. "Meg. Proehl is going to have a great end to her career at KU," Campbell said. "She just missed going to nationals last year." He also pointed out the promising future of the team as freshman diver Erin Savas begins her Jayhawk diving career. KANSAS Diver Erin Mertz twists in the air at a meet against South Dakota and Northern Iowa Jan. 24. Jeff Jacobsen/KANSAS ATHLETICS BIG 12 FOOTBALL 11 ASSOCIATED PRESS Junior Carson Coffman was named starting quarterback Tuesday. Coach Bill Snyder chose Coffman over newcrew Grant Gregory. Kansas State picks starter after close competition BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder waited until nearly the last possible moment to name a starting quarterback, giving the nod to Carson Coffman over Grant Gregory four days before the season opener. It was such a close race, the competition still isn't over. Coffman, a junior, will start Saturday against Massachusetts, though Gregory will see plenty of playing time at quarterback as well. And the competition will continue after that. Coffin and Gregory waged a taut battle during preseason camp, neither able to pull ahead by much. Coffin's edge may have come in the spring. Coffman spent the past two seasons playing behind Josh Freeman, who's now in the NFL, and he knows his way around Kansas State's offense. After two years as Matt Grothe's backup at South Florida, Gregory transferred to Kansas State early in the summer and missed spring practice. "I think the spring helped me a lot." Coffman said. "It's still strong competition. Grant's an excellent player and he's just right behind me, right on my tail." That one week may have made all the difference. At 6-foot-3, Coffman is more of a standup, in-the-pocket quarterback than Gregory. Gregory, a sixth-year senior, is a little quicker than Coffman, more like former quarterbacks Ell Roberson and Michael Bishop, who ran the option style offense Snyder liked to run in his first stint as Kansas State's coach.

"I think she kind of expects me to be a leader this year." Dorn said of Hall-Holt. "But I'm not like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to be a senior, so I've got to be the leader.' I like to work with the girls and share my ideas. So we all work as a team." One goal Dorn ranks among the highest this year is to defeat Missouri. The Jayhawks have lost all three dual matches with the Tigers since Dorn joined the team in 2006, along with a first-round loss to the Tigers at last spring's Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla. Not only does the team hope to top its biggest foe, but it also hopes to finish higher in the conference. Last year, the Jayhawks finished ninth. Individually, Dorn is focused on winning a lot of matches. She recently spent time in physical therapy after suffering from an elbow injury, but she says that it's healed now and is ready to go. "Kunigunda has been working really hard on her strength and conditioning," Hall-Holt stated during an earlier interview. Since the injury cost her valuable training time, Dorn hopes to play a singles position somewhere in the middle of the lineup. When not on the court, Dorn spends the majority of her time studying for classes. She said it's difficult to have a social life during the season, especially since she's working toward a double-major in journalism and communications. Assistant tennis coach German Dalmagro thinks Dorn's work ethic will help encourage the younger players on the team. "She was an honor student last year," Dalmagro said. "I think our freshmen and sophomores can look up and say, 'Hey, I can play and I can study. And I can do well, too.' Some freshmen might think it's really tough to iuggle both." Dorn's attitude has not only impressed her coaches, but also her teammates. She was given the Most Improved Player Award in 2008 and the Hardest Worker Award in 2009. Persistence and hard work are recurring elements in this young student athlete's life. The lajawh tennis team will compete in its first fall event at UNC-Wilmington Sept. 11-13. Edited by Tim Burgess NFL 4 4 Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre avoids Houston Texans defenders Amiobie Moko and Mario Williams during the first quarter of a game Monday in Houston. Favre has only with the Vikings for 12 days but hopes to help the team to a Superbowl. Favre, despite flaws,may be worth the wait for Vikings BY TIM DAHLBERG Associated Press Chalk the first up to rust and age. Blame the second more on youthful exuberance. Brett Favre's senior moment came early, when some temporary indecision led to Mario Williams dropping him to the turf in Houston. His stupid moment came late, when he lined up wide left and threw an ill-advised — and illegal — crackback block. No wonder Favre has such a hard time trying to decide whether to retire. His body may sometimes scream yes, but his mind keeps thinking that, hey, this is way too much fun. Just 18 months ago he was crying as he announced his first retirement. On Monday night he was out on the field smiling even when things didn't go exactly as planned. He may not lead the Minnesota Vikings to the promised land. At his age, there's always the chance he may not even finish the season. But judging from his first real work of the preseason, the old guy with the aching ribs might have been well worth the wait for both the Vikings and their long suffering fans. As long as he doesn't try to block anyone, that is. Turns out there are some things you can't teach old quarterbacks. "I will be 40 years old in October and (was) weed-eating 13 days ago," Favre said. "I wasn't thinking about throwing blocks." Not thinking happens sometimes when you get old, though Vikings coach Brad Childress deserves some responsibility because he was the one who had Favre line up as a wide receiver in the wildcat set. The formation is the rage around the NFI, but there are some things even future Hall of Famers like Favre shouldn't be doing — and throwing blocks tops weed eating on the list. Behind center, though, Favre looked right at home. He wasn't always on the same page with his teammates, but that will come. He didn't always see his reads, but he's had only a dozen days to work on them. It won't be long before we begin to see just how far he can bring a Vikings team that was loaded to begin with toward a Super Bowl. But he brings the intangibles. He brings an undercurrent of energy a guy his age isn't supposed to have. "We've got to do it quickly," Favre said after helping lead the Vikings to a 17-10 win over the Texans. together quickly, Indeed, the clock is ticking for Favre, and not just because he turns 40 next month. His waffling over whether to play again got him in camp late, and his play in Houston will almost certainly be the last together quickly" time he takes a live snap until the Vikings open their season on the road in Cleveland. Any other quarterback wouldn't be making that start with so little work with a new team. But there aren't any other quarterbacks who hold NFL career records in almost every passing category, either. tainly be the last practicing his art in basically the same offense the Vikings run, and he will benefit from taking as few hits as possible in preseason. But it's probably going to take a few regular season games before everything begins clicking, so the Vikings are fortunate that they open against two weaker teams in the Browns and Detroit Lions. "I will be 40 years old in October and (was) weed-eating 13 days ago. I wasn't thinking about throwing blocks." Behind him will be the league's best running back in Adrian Peterson. Ahead of him will be rookie receiver Percy Harvin, who showed flashes of brilliance against the Texans. Still, make no mistake about it; This team is loaded, and Favre may be the final piece of the puzzle. Favre, of course, knew all of that before he finally put his name on a Backing it all up are Kevin and Pat Williams, leaders of one of the NFLs toughest defenses. BRETT FAVRE Vikings quarterback top shape. two-year $25 million contract to play for the team he made a career out of beating. The Vikings wanted him so badly they sent a private jet for him and Childress drove him to practice from the airport. They waited for him to make up his mind. Now they'll wait until he gets into The Vikings are convinced they did the right thing. Their quarterback seems pretty sure of himself, too. "I would not have come back if I didn't think I could play at a high enough level or if I didn't think I could help this team win," Favre said. foot on campus in the summer, I knew he had potential to play right away." On Saturday, McDougald will run onto Kivisto Field in front of 50,000-plus fans wearing blue. At one point, though, McDougald seemed set to play in one of college football's most storied venues: the Horseshoe at Ohio State. MCDOUGALD (CONTINUED FROM 1B) But McDougald, who played high school football just 20 miles from Ohio State's campus and was suspended for three games for disciplinary reasons during his senior season, rescinded his initial verbal commitment to the Buckeves. Instead, McDougald evaluated his remaining options with one desire: to stay on the offensive side of the ball. Many schools viewed McDougald as a better fit at defensive back. "Right now, if I could get playing time early, I felt that it was going to be on the offensive side McDougald started considering Kansas after a teammate from high school, redshirt freshman linebacker Josh Richardson, committed to the Jayhawks while McDougald was attending Dublin Scioto High School. of the ball," McDougald said. "That eliminated a lot of schools that were recruiting me early in the process." Two weeks after Richardson's commitment, McDougald received a scholarship offer from Kansas — one he eventually accepted. "Coach Ed Warriner, the offensive coordinator, is the person who recruited me out of high school," McDougald said. "He mentioned possible (early) playing time but I never thought it would be like it is now. I thought I would be rotating." Upon arriving at Kansas, McDougald was issued a "Big Brother," which is essentially a teammate assigned to help a new player adjust to college. McDougald was paired with Meier. Meier, along with Briscoe and quarterback Todd Reesing, guided McDougald through offseason practices. That preparation, McDougald said, was a big reason he adjusted so smoothly to the college level. And he'll get his first public showcase in a Kansas uniform Saturday against Northern Colorado. "He's a guy that I think everything comes very smoothly for him." "It's just his knack to play ball," Meier said. "Usually, with incoming freshmen, they have to worry about so much other than football. His ability to put that stuff behind when he's on the field has enabled him to be where he is. — Edited by Samantha Foster OPURUM (CONTINUED FROM 1B) powerhouse Plano East High School, Opurum served as the featured running back in the Panthers' spread offense. "The fact that I had the opportunity to come here and play running back was definitely big," Opurum said. Second, he had the opportunity to do so immediately after Kansas' depth at running back thinned during the offseason. "And I saw there was playing opportunity that was there." Opurum gives Kansas a different option at running back. Opurum, who is 6-feet-2-inches and 230 pounds, provides the jayhawks with a bigger back to complement the more diminutive combo of senior Lake Sharp and sophomore Rell Lewis. "A lot of times when it was third and short last year, we never got those." Meier said. "With what Toben brings to the table, we're going to get those." Opurum is currently listed as Kansas' second-string running back along with Lewis. But he has drawn praise this offseason from Mangino, who said Opurum will play immediately for Kansas. "He's a guy that I think, as we go along, is going to get better and better every week as he gets comfortable with what we're doing and realizes that things are a little faster-paced here than they are in high school," Mangino said. Edited by Samantha Foster NFL Teams change lineups, get rid of struggling players ASSOCIATED PRESS 49ERS RELEASE HUARD SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers have released quarterback Damon Huard. After the move Tuesday, Nate Davis is in line to be the team's No. 3 quarterback behind starter Shaun Hill and backup Alex Smith. The 36-year-old Huard is a 12-year pro best known for his lengthy backup stints behind Miami's Dan Marino and New England's Tom Brady. He started 13 games over the past two seasons with Kansas City, but never firmly claimed the Chiefs' starting job during five seasons with the club. 26 Kansas City released Huard in February and he signed with San Francisco on March 4. Interestingly, the Chiefs could be in the market for a quarterback after starter Matt Cassel sustained a knee injury last week that could sideline him two to four weeks. ASSOCIATED PRESS RAMS TRADE HILL St. Louis Rams cornerback Tye Hill is seen during Rams football training camp at Concordia University on July 31, 2009, in Mequon, Wis. ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams cut ties to their top two picks from the 2006 draft on Tuesday, trading cornerback Tye Hill to the Atlanta Falcons for an undisclosed draft pick and releasing tight end Joe Klopfenstein. Hill missed 20 games the past two seasons, including the last 12 games of 2008 with a knee injury. "We wish Tye all the best," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "It's not an easy part of the business. We do wish him well. We feel like we did what is in the best interest of the team." Hill started 10 games as a rookie and had three interceptions and a fumble recovery. Hed been working behind Jonathan Wade, a third-round pick in 2007, during the preseason. "News like that always shocks you," Wade said. "Because that happened, it doesn't necessarily change anything. It could very easily have been me. When things like this happen, you have to roll with the punches." In three seasons, Klopfenstein totaled 33 receptions for 386 yards and two touchdowns. He was behind Randy McMichael, Daniel Fells and Billy Baiema. "I'm not going to go into specifics of why," Spagnuolo said. "All those guys were evaluated, we make our decisions and move on." The Rams have only two players remaining from the 2006 draft, defensive end Victor Adeyanju (fourth round) and offensive lineman Mark Setterstrom (seventh round). That was Scott Linehan's first season as coach. The Rams also released three undrafted rookies; center Daniel Sanders, cornerback Marcus Brown and wide receiver Jarrett Byers, Rookie wide receiver Brooks Foster, a fifth-round pick who underwent ankle surgery on Aug. 21, was placed on injured reserve. BRONCOS CUT FOUR ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Veteran tight end Jeb Putzier was among four players released Tuesday by the Denver Broncos, reducing their roster to the 75-player limit. Also waived was rookie punter Britton Colquitt, who was edged out for the job by holdover punter Brett Kern. Center Blake Schlueter, a seventh-round pick out of Texas Christian, and third-year wide receiver C.J. Jones also were released. Meanwhile, the Broncos retook the practice field without quarterback Kyle Orton, who suffered a finger injury in Sunday's 27-17 exhibition loss to Chicago. Backup Chris Simms also has been sidelined by a high left ankle sprain, leaving rookie Tom Brandstater and journeyman Ingle Martin as the only healthy quarterbacks on the team's roster. Neither Brandstater nor Martin have had a meaningful snap in an NFL regular season game.

Dealing with a balky left knee and an opponent who didn't buy into the usual opening-night script, Williams needed 2 hours, 43 minutes to defeat Vera Dushevina of Russia. The third-seeded Williams, who had never been ousted from the Open before the fourth round, trailed by a set and a break in the second before rallying for a 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-3 victory Monday. She didn't want to talk much about the knee, which brought on a nine-minute injury timeout during the first set, but instead preferred to talk about the crowd — especially the reaction when she was down 5-4 in the second, serving to stay in the match. "One of those great New York moments" she said. Andy Roddick followed her onto the court. His match began at 11:08 p.m., and with blood dripping from a cut on his right ear, he made quick work of Germany's Bjorn Phau, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. He was still doing interviews at 1:15 a.m. The main topic: late matches at the U.S. Open. "It's all part of it," he said. "Kind of the crazies that stay 'til 1 in the morning — there's something fun about that." Buoyed — maybe saved — by that crowd, Williams was the only top contender to face serious trouble in a first round that was basically going to form. Others scheduled to play Tuesday were top-seeded Dinara Safina, 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic and 2006 U.S. Open champion Maria Sharapova on the women's side, along with second-seeded Andy Murray, fourth-seeded Novak Djokovic and America's next possible breakout star, Sam Querrey, on the men's side. Tuesday's play started with sixth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova cruising to a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Julia Goerges on Arthur Ashe Stadium, while on the grandstand court, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga routed American Chase Buchanan 6-0, 6-2, 6-1. On Monday, top-seeded Roger Federer began the quest for his sixth straight championship and third Grand Slam title of 2009 with a 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 victory over NCAA champion Devin Britton. "My goal was to not get crushed." Britton conceded, "and make it interesting for a little while." Alexa Glatch found herself in essentially the same boat against Serena Williams, pushing the No. 2 seed in the first set before falling quickly in the second of a 6-4, 6-1 loss. He was up a break in both the second and third sets, but couldn't capitalize against the world's top player. "One of those great New York moments." Kim Clijsters was the other headliner on day one. The 2005 U.S. Open champion, now with a 1-year-old daughter, returned to Grand Slam tennis after a $2 \frac{1}{2}$-year layoff with an impressive 6-1, 6-1 victory over Viktoria Kutuzova. "Now it's a matter of trying to keep this going." Clisters said. Roddick's match was played in front of a half-empty crowd thanks in part to a late start after an hourlong opening ceremony that featured Andre Agassi. VENUS WILLIAMS Tennis Player Roddick wasn't complaining, but did say he wouldn't mind seeing the women take the late slot sometime in the future. Hours earlier, Williams was in trouble from the start. Down a break at 2-1, she took an injury timeout to get her left knee worked on and taped up, though that didn't cure the problems with her serve. She finished with 10 double-faults and seven foot faults. Ahead 5-3 in the first-set tiebreak, she hit a great serve but got hit with a foot fault. After a brief discussion with the line judge — "Which foot, the front one or the back one?" — she stepped up and served the next ball into the net. She fell behind 6-5 and Dushevina answered Williams' angle volley with a running, cross-court backhand for the winner and the set. "I had 5-4 in the second set and it was maybe little chance" Dushevina said. "It was love-15, but the next few points, she played so great." It stayed uncomfortable for Venus through most of the second, as well. The third set wasn't a breeze,but went more to form,with Williams getting an early break and hanging on. Safina squeaks by Rogowska LITTLE BIT O' LUCK After a clumsy performance, top-seeded Safina narrowly escapes 18-year-old BY EDDIE PELLS Associated Press NEW YORK — Dinara Safina overcame a long, mistake-filled display of tennis Tuesday to barely avoid becoming the first top-seeded woman to lose in the first round of the U.S. Open. She defeated 167th-ranked Olivia Rogowska of Australia 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in a match that included 113 unforced errors, 24 double-faults and 15 service breaks over 2 hours, 35 minutes. "I didn't break any rackets and didn't get any warnings," Safina said, when asked if there were any over things. "That's already positive." adidas She overcame a 3-0 deficit in the third set to avoid becoming the first top-seeded player to be ousted in the first round of "I didn't break any rackets and didn't get any warnings. That's already positive." any Grand Slam since Martina Hingis lost 6-4, 6-2 to Virginia Ruano Pascual at Wimbledon in 2001. Safina served out her final game at love, forcing errors on Rogowska's ground strokes during one of the Russian's few sustained runs of consistency. almost certainly gather steam. Safina moves on, but all the questions about her worthiness as the world's No. 1 player will Safina's coach, Zeliko Krajan, was clearly having trouble watching it — slumping, scowling and shaking his head from his lonely seat in the stands. ASSOCIATED PRESS No. 2 Serena Williams has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year. Safina doesn't yet have a career Grand Slam victory, getting blown out in all three finals she's been in. Dinara Safina of Russia celebrates after defeating Olivia Rogowska of Australia (6-7S), 6-2, 6-4 during the first round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament on Tuesday. DINARA SAFINA Tennis Player "In the French Open, I won all the matches 6-love, 6-1. Did it help? Not really," she said. "It happens like this. You pull out the match somehow." It was the second big scare over the first two days on the U.S. Open show court. On Monday night, third-seeded Venus Williams overcame a balky knee and some shaky play for a 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-3 win over Russia's Vera Dushevina. That match looked like a Borg-McEnroe classic compared to Safina-Rogowska. The first set was filled with tentative play and ended when Safina double-faulted for a 7-5 loss in the tiebreaker — the first serve barely making it halfway up the net, the second a good 3 inches out. They slogged on and Rogowska, an 18-year-old with one win over a top-100 player, had chances to put a stranglehold on the match and put her name in the history books, even after she blew the 3-0 lead in the third. Serving at 4-all and deuce in the final set, she chipped a slicing backhand deep into the corner and Safina lobbed it back, but Rogowska hit a tentative overhead, then failed to put away a pair of ensuing floaters and eventually got passed. That set up break point, which Safina promptly lost with a forehand hit lock. Finally, Rogowska made two unforced errors in a row to give Safina the game on her fourth break point, fall behind 5-4 and set up the finish. "I felt like I kept up with her," Rogowska said. "Like, I didn't think she blew off the court. I'm disappointed I lost, and I didn't expect to say that after playing the No. 1 player in the world. It's a bit weird." Safina, whose brother, Marat Safina won the U.S. Open in 2000, accounted for 48 of the unforced errors and 11 of the double-faults. "Today, I was just sayinga 'Come on, play point by point,' Safina said. "I would not give up. I'd still give her a hard time trying to win the match" DRESSED TO IMPRESS P Maria Sharapova, of Russia, stretches to hit a return to Tsvetana Pironkova, of Bulgaria on Tuesday. Her strong second set, and her dress, were the focus of postmatch interviews. Sharapova reappears in limelight BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press NEW YORK - Maria Sharapova was right where she likes to be on the Grand Slam stage and in the spotlight. After missing last year's U.S. Open with a shoulder injury, the 2006 champion returned to the tournament Tuesday night with an impressive 6-3, 6-0 victory over Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria. Sharapova's game was as glittery as her black-and-silver dress and matching headwrap, an outfit she described as a tribute to New York's skyline. Several hours after Dinara Safina came perilously close to becoming the first No. 1-seeded woman to lose in this major tournament's first round, Sharapova gave a much stronger performance. The three-time Grand Slam title winner produced 29 winners — a whopping 23 more than her 98th-ranked opponent. And Sharapova's game was particularly clean in the second set, when she hit 16 winners and only five unforced errors. Apart from four double-faults, Sharapova showed no signs of the shoulder tear that forced her to have surgery in October and kept off the tour for nearly 10 months. "This is a Grand Slam. You've got to get going from the first match," Sharapova said. "After being gone, this is what it's all about." In addition to tennis skills and grit that once placed her No. 1 in the rankings, Sharapova always has placed an emphasis on fashion. On this night, her black dress carried bold, metallic accents that would gain her entry into even the trendiest of New York clubs. She paired it with a matching, '60s-style silver headband. As often has happened with Sharapova, the postmatch, on-court interview dealt as much Safina's coach certainly did not appear to like what he saw. with her getup as her game. "It's always 50-50: You never know when people are going to like it or not," Sharapova told the crowd. Sitting in the stands at the U.S. Open, hed cover his eyes with his hands or turn his head with a wince as Safina's 11 double-faults and all manner of other mistakes mounted — or put another way, as she looked less and less like a woman who is ranked No. 1. There's been some debate this season about whether Safina deserves that standing, one spot ahead of Serena Williams. The Russian did not bolster her case Tuesday. Nearly undone by her own poor play, Safina was a point away from a 4-0 deficit in the third set before coming back to beat 167th-ranked Olivia Rogowska of Australia 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. Safina, younger sister of 2000 U.S. Open champion Marat Safin, is used to faring well in the early stages of Grand Slam tournaments. Usually, it's later on that problems arise. She is 0-3 in major finals, all lopsided losses, and she managed to win only one game against Venus Williams in the Wimbledon semifinals in July. On Tuesday, Safina repeatedly glanced up at her coach, Zeljko Krajan, perhaps hoping for positive reinforcement. Instead, she rarely found anything but negative body language. "Well," Safina would say later, "I guess I had to think: 'What I'm doing wrong?' The answer: plenty. And she didn't merely miss, 48 unforced errors in all. She missed rather badly. Embarrassingly, even. "I was surprised that, you know, she was giving me free points," said Rogowska, an 18-year-old who never has defeated anyone ranked better than 47th. As Rogowska spoke, her eyes were red, and she fiddled with a well-worn tissue.

Ali was on a seminal journey to see his little-known Irish roots. Ten of thousands are awaiting the three-time world heavyweight champion's arrival in the western Irish town, the home of Ali's great-great-father Ade Grady. Ali visits Ireland to find roots BY SHAWN POGATCHNIK Associated Press DUBLIN — Boxing legend Muhammad Ali made a sentimental journey Tuesday to discover his Irish roots, and met distant relatives during celebrations at the local town hall and a nearby castle. Thousands lined the streets of Ennis, western Ireland, to cheer the motorcade carrying Ali as the three-time world heavyweight champion visited the home of his great-grandfather Abe Grady. Fans adorned streets with red, white and blue USA bunting and flags, while shop windows competed to display the most impressive posters honoring Ali — including one tongue-in-cheek portrait of him appearing ready to knock out an unpopular Irish politician. Ali, who is 67 and battling Parkinson's disease, offered a few playful jabs to cameras but made no public comments and steered clear of throngs of autograph-seekers, among them hundreds of kids whose schools closed early for the event. Police blocked off roads and kept crowds in line with railings. Grady settled in Kentucky in the 1860s and married a freed slave. One of their grandchildren, Odessa Lee Grady Clay, gave birth to Ali — then Cassius Clay — in 1942. Genealogists pinpointed Ali's Irish links in 2002, but Ali had never visited Ennis before. His visit to Ennis Town Hall was broadcast live on big-screen televisions outside, where locals also took in a live concert by Irish traditional musicians, including best-selling accordionist Sharon Shannon. Ali's wife, Yolanda, said her husband's Irish blood might help explain his legendary ability to bludgeon his opponents with blarnev as well as punches. She stayed close at Ali's side throughout the public events, talking to him and steadying him as he walked arm in arm. "When you look at Muhammad's pugilistic skills and his loquacious ways, I am sure if his great-grandfather was alive, he would swear it came from him. If he were alive today I bet he would be in every pub talking about it too," she said. Mayor Frankie Neylon presented Ali with a scroll as he proclaimed him Ennis' first "freeman," an honor conveying him special privileges in the County Clare town of 23,000. The mayor said the most valuable privilege would be free parking. Yolanda Ali said the couple would return to Ireland "now that we know that Muhammad is an Ennisman." People traveled hundreds of miles from across Ireland to see Ali, among them veteran Irish boxers who sparred with Ali in New York training decades ago. Former Irish national champ Jim O'Sullivan recalled sparring with Ali and his trainer Angelo Dundee during a U.S. tour by Irish boxers in 1978 — and wished hed known then that "The Greatest" was "just a Paddy like us."

The magazine, which will come out every Friday school is in session, features sports columns, statistics and predictions and will wrap around Friday's edition of The Kansan. The Wave gets its name from the Jayhawk tradition of waving the wheat any time the team scores. THE WAVE Scott Toland, Iola senior in journalism and political science, will serve as lead editor for The Wave. He said that the success of the football team during the last two seasons makes now a perfect time to produce the magazine. "There've never been a better time for KU football, so this is a great time to get The Wave going," he said. photos taken at Jayhawk sports games by e-mail to thewave@kansan.com. These photos can be published in the next week's edition of The Wave. Toland said that one section of the magazine, called Kick the Kansan, invites students to submit predictions of which teams will win in upcoming weeks. If their predictions are more accurate than those of Toland and other Kansan sports editors, they will win prizes. "Basically this section is as much football coverage as you could possibly want. Sports are so big here, it just makes sense," she said. Brenna Hawley, Salina senior and editor-in-chief of The Kansan, said The Wave came about after discussions between herself, Jon Schlitt, sales and marketing adviser, and Malcolm Gibson, faculty news adviser.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the University is upset by the idea because it doesn't want students thinking it is University sponsored. It's game week, and Anheuser-Busch's red and blue Bud Light "fan cans" have arrived in some Lawrence liquor stores. According to Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, University administrators have asked the brewer to pull the promotion, but said BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com The beer cans, launched last month in the school colors of several campuses nationwide, might give some the impression that the University endorses underage drinking, Jack Martin, deputy director of communications, said. "We have undertaken a number of steps to reduce excessive and underage drinking on campus," Martin said. "We just want to make it clear that this is not a University endorsed promotion that Anheuser-Busch is undertaking." Martin worked with the athletics department in drafting a letter to Anheuser-Busch three copyright infringement isn't their top concern. Marchiony said the department became aware of the promotion through the Collegiate Licensing Company, which handles the University's trademark. "This is not a trademark infringement case," Marchiony said. "Just because they use colors of particular schools does not mean there is trademark infringement. But the concern is that using the colors can confuse consumers into thinking that the school was weeks ago asking them to pull the fan cans from distribution in Lawrence. But Marchiony said the number one concern was the appeal to underage drinkers. "In marketing, that's one of the things, colors really pull people away." Fankhauser said.

Ali McGee, Overland Park sophomore, said she thought underage drinkers were going to do drink anyway, regardless of can marketing. going to go drink now," she said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMORIAL Veterans celebrate 64th anniversary at Pearl Harbor ASSOCIATED PRESS PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — The famous battleship where Japanese officials signed the surrender documents that officially ended World War II played host on Wednesday to about 20 ageing U.S. veterans and dozens of observers as they marked the 64th anniversary of the war's end. The USS Missouri, which was anchored in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945 for the surrender ceremonies, has since be decommissioned and moored in Pearl Harbor. U. S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie told those gathered it's fitting that the battleship — now known as the Battleship Missouri Memorial — is docked just a few hundred yards from the memorial for the USS Arizona. The Arizona sank when Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, an event that drew the U.S. into the war. "I can think of nothing more valuable of this complex here ... to enable generations to come to reflect and understand," said Abercrombie (D-Hawaii). The memorial welcomes more than 40,000 tourists each month to exhibits that highlight the Missouri's role in Japan's surrender. Walter Lassen, a 27-year-old first gunner's mate aboard the Missouri when the war ended, told The Associated Press in an interview last week his fellow sailors had "little love of the enemy" when Japanese officials came aboard to sign the documents. The Missouri, one of the most powerful U.S. warships at the time, fought-in in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa as American forces neared the Japanese main islands. For months, sailors focused on aggressively protecting their ship and other ships in the U.S. fleet. At one point, the Missouri came under the attack of 95 Japanese planes, Lassen said. A kamikaze pilot slammed into the Missouri's hull in April 1945, though the plane's bomb failed to detonate and only the pilot was killed. LEGAL "The mood at the time of the ceremony was the culmination of all this amount of fighting we had been doing and all this shooting that had been going on," said Lassen.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — National American University is no longer suing a California pornography company that used a name the school thought was too similar: Naughty American University. The school's parent company, Dlorah Inc., filed the federal lawsuit in South Dakota, against La Touraine Inc., a company based in San Diego. The suit sought financial damages and to prevent the use of the school's trademark. An attorney for the school said that La Touraine has agreed to stop using the school's trade mark. Associated Press PHARMACY Maker of Viagra fined record-breaking sum ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors hit Pfizer Inc. with a record-breaking $2.3 billion in fines Wednesday and called the world's largest drugmaker a repeating corporate cheat for illegal drug promotions that plied doctors with free golf, massages, and resort junkets. Announcing the penalty as a warning to all drug manufacturers, Justice Department officials said the overall settlement is the largest ever paid by a drug company for alleged violations of federal drug rules, and the $1.2 billion criminal fine is the largest ever in any U.S. criminal case. The total includes $1 billion in civil penalties and a $100 million criminal forfeiture. Authorities called Pfizer a repeat offender, noting it is the company's fourth such settlement of government charges in the last decade. The allegations surround the marketing of 13 different drugs, including big sellers such as Viagra, Zoloft, and Lipitor. As part of its illegal marketing, Pfizer invited doctors to consultant meetings at resort locations, paying their expenses and providing perks, prosecutors said. "They were entertained with golf, massages, and other activities," said Mike Loucks, the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts. Loucks said that even as Pfizer was negotiating deals on past misconduct, they were continuing to violate the very same laws with other drugs. To prevent backsliding this time, Pfizer's conduct will be specially monitored by the Health and Human Service Department inspector general for five years. In an unusual twist, the head of the Justice Department, Attorney General Eric Holder, did not participate in the record settlement, because he had represented Pfizer on these issues while in private practice. Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrell said the settlement illustrates ways the Justice Department "can help the American public at a time when budgets are tight and health care costs are rising." Perrelli announced the settlement terms at a news conference with federal prosecutors and FBI, and Health and Human Services Department officials. The settlement ends an investigation that also resulted in guilty pleas from two former Pfizer sales managers. Officials said the U.S. industry has paid out more than $11 billion in such settlements over the past decade, but one consumer advocate voiced hope that Wednesday's penalty was so big it would curb the abuses of Consumer Reports.

It's exciting to know that our May Davis, Clay Center senior and student body vice president. Gray-Little said the discussion of expanding seating at Memorial Stadium had taken place before her arrival to the University.

Noting a series of earlier extensions, U.S. District judge Marianne Battani said Dawn Hanna had "ample time ... to get her personal business in order." Hanna, 36, was convicted last year of breaking a U.S. trade embargo with Iraq by selling telecommunications equipment before the war started in 2003. The ruling means she must report to prison by Tuesday. In a court filing, Hanna offered several reasons for a two-week delay, including health issues, her poor personal finances and the care of a relative. "I wanted to take care of my female issues as well if possible because ... I'm a female," Hanna wrote. "Most have been done but there is one thing I wanted to do which is freeze my eggs due to my age and length of the sentence." prison date was in May. The U.S. attorney's office was not sympathetic. Hanna's original She has been "on notice for many months that a prison sentence was nearing, and that it would be necessary to make appropriate arrangements," wrote assistant U.S. attorneys Barbara McOuade and Michael Martin. A message seeking comment was left with Hanna's attorney, N.C. Deday LaRene. The judge already has been generous. Hanna's six-year sentence is about 10 years less than the minimum under federal guidelines. The guidelines are not mandatory. BUSINESS Companies using Twitter for sales ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — People around the world interact with Alecia Dantico all day. Usually, though, they don't know whether she's young or old, male or female. What her followers on Facebook and Twitter know is that she's a friendly, sometimes sassy, blue and gold tin of Garrett Popcorn. That's the icon of the popular Chicago-based snack food that has tourists and locals lining up around the block at locations here and in New York City. And when Dantico sends out a "virtual tin" of popcorn to a fan over Twitter, she's breaking new ground in the way companies market themselves, joining a growing number of social media experts hired to man Twitter, Facebook and similar sites. "My day starts on Twitter and it doesn't really end." Dantico says. She keeps her BlackBerry on at all hours to respond to followers in different time zones. Multinational corporations, such as Ford Motor Co. and CocaCola Co., are beginning to use social media to increase positive sentiment, build customer rapport and correct misinformation, says Adam Brown, Coca-Cola's Atlanta-based director of social media. "Having the world's most recognized brand, we feel like there's an obligation or a responsibility when people are talking about us, we have a duty to respond," Brown said. "Listen before diving in." Dantico said she responded every time someone mentioned her company on Twitter, whether it was positive or negative.

Red Masses are special religious ceremonies held for those in the fields of law and public office. While they are usually held in Catholic churches, these events welcome professionals of all religious faiths. The sermons focus on professionals in justice-related fields and the way their work overlaps with religious principles. The event is co-sponsored by the University's chapter of the St. Thomas More Society, a group for Catholic law students. Josh Goetting, law student and the group's president, said he thought those in public office or the law profession would respond to a Mass geared toward their work. "We are the kind of people that are trying to act for the greater good of others." Goetting said. "Because of that we ask for the help of God as we try to carry out our duties." The tradition of Red Masses in the Catholic Church dates to the 13th century. The event was named after the red vestments the leaders of the mass wear. One of the most popular Red Masses is held each October in Washington, D.C. the day before the Supreme Court convenes. Supreme Court justices, members of Congress and even the President of the United States often attend this event, sometimes sparking controversy over the relation between politics and religion. Echoing that sentiment, representatives from the School of Law said the school had no religious affiliation and felt it would be inappropriate to comment. However, Michael Davis, professor of law, said laws and religion often shared the same moral principles. Davis said he was impressed by the Red Masses he attended in the past, and hoped this event would help people understand how specific professions are connected with religious ideologies. The Rev. Steve Beseau, director of the St. Lawrence Center, will lead the Red Mass. Beseau said he hoped he could help those at the Mass see their occupation as more than simply everyday work. "What I hope to reaffirm in these law students, professors and those that practice law is a sense of nobility in what they do," Beseau said. Beseau said he hoped the words of God could help everyone make good decisions, but especially those who face ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. Goetting said everyone he spoke with that had attended other Red Masses praised the events. "We will ask the Holy Spirit to come upon us and give the wisdom and knowledge to make the right decisions in the next year," Beseau said. A Red Mass is held in Kansas City each year but both Goetting and Beseau said this was the first in Lawrence. "They all walked away with a lit- "We're pretty proud to say that we're bringing a big city thing like this to Lawrence," Goetting said. the bit different perspective so I'm hoping that we have something similar to that with this event," Goetting said. The Mass will begin at 5:15 p.m. tonight at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road, on the corner of 15th Street and Engel Road. Although the Red Mass is directed at those interested in certain professions, the event will occur during a regularly scheduled Mass and is open to anyone. Following the mass, a reception will be held at the St. Lawrence Rectory, across the street from the St. Lawrence Catholic Center on the other side of Crescent Road. Anyone planning to attend the reception should RSVP at 785-843-0357. Edited by Brenna M. T.

McGee Prosecutor says the wheelchair-bound white supremacist, 89, is still'dangerous' possible in the June 10 attack. WASHINGTON — An 89-year-old white supremacist charged with killing a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was ordered to remain in jail Wednesday after prosecutors said the frail man was still dangerous because he had "no true friends" and "nothing to lose." A judge also ordered James von Brunn to undergo a competency evaluation despite objections from the wheelchair-bound suspect. He was otherwise nonchalant and even smiled when a prosecutor said he wanted to kill as many people as The 30-minute hearing was von Brunn's first public appearance since the shooting.

He had been struck once near the right ear, but the wound has since healed, his attorney said. Von Brunn appeared to be wearing medical bracelets. Although he had no visible wounds or bandages, the injuries make it difficult for him to hear and speak, his attorney said. He wore a navy D.C. jail uniform and looked mostly at his lap, leaning over at times to speak with his lawyer. ASSOCIATED PRESS Von Brunn first shook his head and then called out "your honor" when the judge suggested he was going to order an evaluation. His attorney and the judge tried to advise him not to speak. "Your constitution guarantees me a speedy and fair trial," von Brunn finally said in a halting voice. In asking that von Brunn not be released, prosecutor Nicole Waid said von Brunn's actions were clear on videotape. "This isn't a case of whodunit, your honor," Waid said. She said that though von Brunn may appear frail, he is still a danger because he "has no true friends" and "nothing to lose." Waid said that von Brunn arranged his finances and funeral plans before his "suicide mission" at the museum, and that he wanted to kill as many people as possible. He shook his head when Waid recounted how he had once tried to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve board. He was caught outside a board meeting carrying a bag stuffed with weapons. He describes his attempt with apparent pride on his Web site. He was sentenced in 1983 to more than four years in prison for attempted armed kidnapping and other charges in his Fed assault. He was released in 1989. Von Brunn was indicted in July CRIME on charges including first-degree murder for the death of museum guard Stephen T. Johns, who was black. Four of the charges carry a possible death penalty if he's convicted. a racist, anti-Semitic Web site and wrote a book titled "Kill the Best Gentiles," alleging a Jewish conspiracy "to destroy the white gene pool."

WILDFIRE Feds neglected to burn flammable brush by L.A. The Forest Service says it did remove some brush by hand and that tricky weather patterns made it tough to do all the planned burns. —Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The AP has learned that the federal government did not burn away decades of brush on nearly 2,000 parched acres in the forest where the raging wildfire on the edge of Los Angeles broke out. Months before the huge wildfire broke out, federal authorities obtained permits to burn decades of highly flammable brush. The AP obtained records showing that fewer than 200 acres were cleared by the time the fire erupted. joe's loody art tattoo 714 vermont 785-840-9553 now available! PALLADIUM internet now available!

CELEBRITY Madonna performs for Israel after 16 years away TEL AVIV, Israel — Madonna brought her mix of provocative music and spirituality to the Holy Land with a concert Tuesday in front of 50,000 fans who had endured a 16-year wait since the pop icon's last gig in Israel. Madonna is wrapping up her worldwide "Sticky & Sweet" tour with two concerts this week in a country whose place at the heart of the Mideast conflict has made it more of a magnet for diplomats than big-name performers. "Every time I come here, I get so supercharged with energy," she said. "I truly believe that Israel is the energy center of the world. And I also believe that if we can all live together in harmony in this place, then we can live in peace all over the world." In Israel, some rabbis have criticized her involvement in Kabbalah. Madonna was raised a Roman Catholic. She wrote in an article for an Israeli newspaper last month that the study of Kabbalah helped her understand life better.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff authorized the current administrators of Jackson's estate to pay for Jackson's funeral and interment, which are scheduled for Thursday evening. Attorneys for Jackson's mother, Katherine, had asked the judge to sign off on the expenses, which have not been disclosed. No one contested who would pay the costs, but Beckloff said he had concerns about whether Jackson's estate could afford it. Jeryll Cohen, an attorney for the administrators of Jackson's estate, said the costs will be paid. She said the debt-ridden estate has enough cash to pay for the funeral. "The expenses are extraordinary; However, Michael Jackson was extraordinary."Cohen said. Few details about the service have been disclosed. Cohen said during the hearing that part of the reason it was so expensive was because 12 burial spaces were being bought. Jackson is scheduled to be intermed in a mausoleum at Forest Lawn Glendale, which is about eight miles north of downtown Los Angeles. He will be placed in the Great Mausoleum, where he'll join Hollywood legends such as Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, W.C. Fields and Red Skelton.

Finding value in trivial news MEDIA As I was struggling to come up with a correct Spanish conjugation during an activity in class one day, I asked myself a question: How is it that I know Hootie and the Blowfish is Tiger Woods' favorite band, but I can't remember if the "yo" form of "entender" is irregular? (It is.) Hootie and the Blowfish should personally thank me for exposing their biggest fan, but with the mainstream emergence of 24-hour news networks, they might not have to try as hard. I remember hearing that bit of "news" on Headline News a few years ago. Unless Tiger Woods himself needs my help to be his personal biographer, I will probably be left wondering why his musical preferences needed to be broadcast to me. More than ever we are currently being fed similar types of unimportant knowledge that qualifies as news. Unless the yet-to-be-formed million dollar Sporcel.com tournament comes knocking at my door, these important "news" bits probably won't garner me anything more prestigious than a pat on the back and one of the "That's cool?" stares people give whenever 1970 THATGUY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE On second thought, I don't know if anyone has brought that up in daily conversation. It is our job as consumers of media to filter through this constant bombardment of "news" to get what we want. During a final last semester, I had started on a new question that mentioned the phrase "under oath." After thinking about one of my favorite bands, I ultimately thought of Barry Bonds testifying under oath in front of Congress on banned substances in baseball (the initial story.) This reminded me that one of the substances in question was flaxseed oil (a much later Bonds story.) I'll fault myself for remembering the flaxseed oil, but is this really what media has come to? Much like the Bonds' story, the Michael Jackson story dominated and still continues to appear on — news networks throughout the world. The two stories started out simply as what had happened and what kind of impact it would have on their respective scenes. Eventually, the main story turned into sub-stories that made me question the quality of the stories themselves. As one of my journalism teachers says, "My game is to see which story is the top story on television: Michael Jackson's doctor or health care." As with any topic, there are always two sides. Some do not mind this excess of information, while others are appalled. The important thing to realize is that this form of "news" won't be going anywhere. If it's to the point where it's annoying, repetitive and irrelevant then all one has to do is realize its superficiality. After all, who doesn't appreciate the "story" a while back about Subway Jared's name floating through the "Casino Royale" auditions? Boultinghouse is a Girard sophomore in journalism and history. EDITORIAL CARTOON HEALTHCARE TODAY IS FLAWED. DEFINITELY. IT'S A BIG PROBLEM. So, YOU'LL SUPPORT THE HEALTHCARE REFORM PLAN? ... WHICH VERSION? NICHOLAS SAMBALUK POLITICS Kansas Republicans can learn from Obama: use teleprompters In the world of politics, it seems you can't get a job of any significance without being an expert in putting your foot in your mouth. Talk show hosts have made careers out of reminding us that our elected officials frequently say really stupid crap. The vice president, as much as I like him, is often good for a gem, and George W. Bush gave us eight years of hilarity. Lately, since President Obama insists on being lame and using a teleprompter (thereby cutting down on random flubs in front of the national press), it has become necessary to look closer to home for politically charged silliness. Just this summer, we had a few prominent Kansans generously provide material. Former Kansas Republican Party Chair Kris Kobach had his joke about Obama and God not having birth certificates, and state compress" Lately, one person has been in the spotlight for a particularly juicy snafu. Second District Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.) has gotten into a little trouble for a remark about the future of the Republican Party, in which she said that they were in need of a "great white and U.S. Senate hopeful Todd Tiarht (R-Goddard) made a public comment speculating what would have happened if President Obama's mother had had an abortion. But hey, there was a point to it, right? LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BING THE HEAT HAVE THE BEN COHEN It is entirely possible that Jenkins didn't know about the racist history of the phrase. Frankly, I didn't know the background until looking it up, after people first got mad at the congresswoman for her comment. Still, it isn't hard to guess some unpleasant undertones just from listening to "great white hope." There's really no place where the color "white" is directly associated with "hope," as far as I know. hope." What is the problem with that? Isn't that a fairly well-known phrase relating to the need for a savior of some sort? Well, kind of. Historically, the "great white hope" term came about in the early 1900s, as white boxing fans and promoters searched for a white fighter who could take down Jack Johnson, one of the first great African-American boxers. It's taken on a deeper meaning since, relating to white America's fear of minorities playing a larger part in society. Whether lenkins meant anything racist by her comment, and I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt on this, her comment was the latest in a recent string of ignorant quips by Kansas Republicans. The common thread? They're all supposedly offhand quips that the perpetrators think are harmless. Tiarl's statement about President Obama's mother having an abortion was the only one with any real malice behind it, but it was really just a poor attempt at a profound statement. Kobach's birth certificate joke was made at a luncheon of Republican supporters in western Kapsas. Lastly, Jenkins, in her statement about the Republican Party searching for a "great white hope," honestly thought she was making a positive statement. So what is the problem with all of this? These people are supposed to be our leaders. It's great sport to pick out their missteps and tease them for it, but the regularity of it is just depressing. President Obama has taken some flack for relying heavily on a teleprompter during speeches, but at least it's cut back on the now infamous Bushisms such as, "teach a child to read, and he or she will pass a literacy test." Maybe Jenkins should give it a shot. Cohen is a Topeka senior in political science. STUDENT LIFE Dorm life provides crucial experience for freshman In the first year a large university can be a little overwhelming. In addition to becoming acclimated to the atmosphere,first-year students must make decisions concerning classes, friendships and where to live.Many students might stress about deciding where to live,and though there are benefits for both on- and off-campus living,a firstyear student might find more opportunities living on campus than off. I spent my freshman year in a residence hall and enjoyed many benefits of on-campus living. I never had to worry about leaving lights on or water running for too long, as the electric and water bills were not directly paid by me. My meals were also not my responsibility, and I can honestly say I took Mrs. E's endless salad bar and vast choices of cereals for granted. I walked to my classes and never had to worry about driving, parking or buses running late. However, more importantly than any of these benefits were the connections I made with other people also living in the residence halls. Potential friends were always right across the hall or a short elevator ride away. Everybody was new and everybody was looking to meet new people. Though potential friendships are present in any living arrangement, someone new to the University of Kansas would have the chance to interact with several new people every day in a residence hall. I established my strongest connections as a freshman in Ellsworth Hall, and I'm not sure I would have had the same opportunities had I spent my first year off campus. Now. I am beginning my second year living off campus and I have enjoyed the benefits of apartment style living as well. I CAMPUS CONNECTION ERIN BROWN have welcomed the freedoms and privileges associated with living in my own apartment, and I have grown more responsible. I am free to have guests come and go without irritating check-ins and outs, and I can come home in the middle of the night without having to speak with anyone at the door. Off-campus living requires increased responsibility but is also enjoyable and beneficial. Of all the decisions a new student to the University is faced with, where to live should be the easiest to make. While both on- and off-campus living options provide benefits and opportunities, I am grateful I chose to spend my first year in a residence hall. The responsibilities of college life are difficult enough to adjust to without also worrying about cooking or electric bills. By living on campus I was able to establish relationships and become involved in activities that would have been more difficult to achieve otherwise. My experience living in a residence hall has affected my overall college experience and helped me adjust while meeting new people. My first year at the University would have been much more overwhelming and much less enjoyable had I not chosen to live on campus. FROM UTAH Brown is a Wichita junior in journalism and political science. Daily Utah Chronicle ALICIA WILLIAMS Raising grades means less time on Facebook The Bible there is a time for everything: a time to dance, a time to die, a time to weep, a time to love, but a time for homework is never mentioned. Frankly, time can be a student's worst enemy. The clock is always ticking, an ever-present reminder that we don't have enough time. We all do daily things that cannot be eliminated: commuting, getting cleaned up, eating and sleeping. If you want to eat or sleep, you have to work to financially support those times. But, you want to make more than $10 an hour, so you have to get an education. With education comes studying and homework. Heaven forbid you might meet someone you want to spend some quality time with. The million dollar question is: "How do we fit it all in?" According to an April 2009 pilot study at Ohio State University, one activity students shouldn't be wasting time on is the social networking site Facebook. The study found a relationship between students' use of Facebook and lower grades. Out of the 219 Ohio State graduate and undergraduate students, 148 had a Facebook account and GPAs that fell between 3.0 and 3.5, and reported studying on average one to five hours per week. In general, students without Facebook had GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0, and studied 11 to 15 hours a week. Although we can't blame Facebook as the ultimate culprit causing college students to get bad grades, it is a means by which many of us waste vast amounts of time. Add in other social sites such as MySpace, Twitter, our ever-growing e-mail accounts and news source sites, and we are definitely wasting valuable time that could be better spent studying. If we want to be successful students, we must exert the will to recognize and change worthless time-consuming habits. You only have this time of your life once. Choose to take control of how you spend your time and make each moment count.

V 8A NEWS --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 CRIME Couple charged in kidnapping ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Nancy Garrido spent years caring for her elderly, bedridden mother-in-law while a girl kidnapped in 1991 was allegedly held prisoner in the backyard of the home she shared with her husband. When Phillip Garrido went to prison for six weeks on a parole violation, the former nursing assistant watched over Jaycee Dugard, authorities said. "You can reasonably infer from the charging document that the wife was doing that," said former U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott, who is acting as a special spokesman for the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office. The emerging details paint a conflicting portrait of the 54-year-old woman charged with her husband in the kidnapping and rage of Dugard, who authorities say had two children with Garrido during her 18 years in the backyard in Antioch. Both have pleaded not guilty. Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn said Nancy Garrido fit the description "dead-on" of the woman who pulled his stepdaughter into a car in South Lake Tahoe nearly two decades ago. Nancy Garrido's attorney, Gilbert Maines, did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press seeking comment. But on CBS's "The Early Show" Wednesday, he said his client loves and misses the two girls her husband fathered with Dugard and said she saw them all as a family. It was unclear if the lawyer would claim Garrido was coerced into aiding her husband. But such a claim could be undermined by her silence about Dugard's captivity while her husband was held at a jail facility for six weeks in 1993 on a parole violation, said criminal defense attorney Michael Cardoza, a former San Francisco Bay area prosecutor. "There are too many facts in the case and too many opportunities for her to make it right that she did not take advantage of," Cardoza said. "No jury will believe that for those 18 years she was under duress that whole time." Garrido looked haggard when she appeared in court last week wearing an orange jail jump suit. She cried and put her head in her hands several times. Public records provided no clear picture of her life before she met Phillip Garrido, a divorced former musician who had worked odd jobs and had a history of drug abuse.

Guy Heinze Jr., 22, was taken into custody hours after police Saturday found the bodies of seven people inside the family's mobile home. An eighth person later died at a hospital and the lone survivor, a young child, remains in critical condition. Police have not called Heinze a suspect in the case, although the police chief said Sunday that he hadn't been ruled out either. Police have released little infor mation on the killings, including the cause of death, saying they do not want to jeopardize the investigation. A recording of the 12-minute 911 call has provided some of the only details of the crime. Heinze told the 911 operator his family members appeared to have been beaten to death. the mobile home where his relatives died. Under the judge's order, Heinze will be placed under house arrest with an ankle monitor once he makes bond. It was uncertain where Heinze would serve his house arrest since he was living at Ashley Strickland, a friend who attended high school with Heinze, was at the court hearing. "Knowing his whole family died, if he knew who did it, he would say something." Strickland said. "Guy's very sweet. Guy does not deserve this. His whole family did not deserve this, not at all." Heinze Jr.'s attorney has said his client is distraught over the slayings and was not involved. "My client believes the killer is still on the loose," attorney Ron Harrison said Tuesday, adding Heinze Jr. has been cooperating with police. KICK THE KANSAN!

Grieb is preparing for her final season, and is expected to be a leader on the team this year. Weston White/KANSAN Senior ready for final season Melissa Grieb hopes to nab more victories with her leadership skills ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team hasn't made it to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament since 2005. Senior defensive specialist Melissa Grieb wants to break that streak this year. But she knows that she won't be able to achieve her goal of making the tournament without her teammates. Grieb hopes to use her leadership experience on and off the court in order to get to the tournament. Follow Kansan volleyball writer Zach Getz at twitter.com/ zgetz t "Being a senior there is obviously the leadership role," Grieb said. "I feel like you have to earn respect of everyone on the team, but you also get a little bit of respect because you are a senior and people look up to you." Grieb has been playing volleyball since the 8th grade. She decided on going to Kansas after it went to three straight post-season appearances. But she said she would've probably chosen Kansas no matter what. Even though she was recruited by other schools in basketball, softball and volleyball. But she ultimately chose Kansas for its location and good reputation. "If there was any opportunity to go to Kansas I would've gone," Grieb said. "It wasn't a hard decision. I really feel like there would be no better place to go to be a student-athlete because all the support we get." Grieb was coming off her own success from her senior year in high school, leading her team to a Kansas Class 6A state championship her senior year at Olathe South. She still calls it the greatest moment in her volleyball career but hopes to change that this year. Grieb said she doesn't want to make the tournament just for herself, but also for her teammates. Only one player on the current roster has ever been to the tournament. Feeling the close bond between the team members is what might ultimately boost them to the elusive post-season berth. Junior outside hitter Karina Garlington said Grieb will be a great leader this season because of her mindset and her approach during practices. "She works really hard in the gym and demands a lot out of the team, which is something we "Our team this year is closer than has been in the past and it helps us play for each other more," Grieb said. She hopes her well-rounded skills will help the team in every aspect of the game. Forming stronger emotional ties with the team can propel them to a better outing this season. "When my hitters get a good kill, I want to be the first one jumping up and down and celebrating and making them feel like they did something good," said Grieb. "I think it's important for them and makes them play better." need," Garlington said. "We need our seniors to step up and be leaders that we've been missing the last few years." Coach Ray Bechard said Grieb has good work ethic and could be a key factor in the team's success because of her communication skills. "She comes to work every day ready to go and is very consistent with her efforts," Bechard said. "She's not one of those raw-raw leaders, but a leader in her own way behind the scenes communicates with everyone on how things ought to go." Kansas started the season 2-1. It's trust in Grieb and determination could push it to grab the opportunity of adding three more victories this weekend as it hosts the Jayhawk Invitational.

FOOTBALL Linebackers compete for starting roles veterans left BY JAYSON JENKS jijenks@kansan.com Freshman Huldon Tharp didn't grow up in Mulvane a Kansas football fan. Not when the Jayhawks consistently ended seasons with disappointment and losing records. But as coach Mark Mangino transformed Kansas' losing past with victories and bowl games, Tharp started following the Jayhawks more closely. It's at that same time when a gritty linebacker from western Kansas earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2005. Follow.Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at www.twitter.com/ Jayson Jenks "Success on the defense, especially at linebacker, was an eye opener for me." Tharp said. "I was just thinking that I could be in those guys' shoes and have the opportunity to be the next Nick Reid." t His name was Nick Reid. Bill Miller, first-year linebackers' coach and co-defensive coordinator has a different take. Miller has worked at perennially competitive schools Florida and Miami. He's tutored future pros Jason Gildon, Dan Morgan and Ray Lewis. So it's fair to say, then, that Miller understands the workings of the college linebacker—a point he reiterated with a hint of bluntness when discussing Kansas' current unit. "We really can't worry about where they were in the past," Miller said. "I mean, this is where we are right now. We're moving forward. Hey, players graduate. That's college football. Somebody After losing three veteran starters at linebacker, Kansas enters this season with plenty of questions surrounding its cast of unproven replacements. has to step up, come along and do the job" And that's exactly what Miller and the rest of Kansas' staff searched for this offseason. The linebacker position hasn't been a serious concern for Kansas in six years, a time before the starting days of Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman. PAGE 1B Now, the position finds its players under scrutiny entering Saturday's game against Northern Colorado. "Everyone has to start somewhere," junior linebacker Drew Dudley said. "And we start this Saturday. Hopefully we can prove that we're not incompetent in that area. We don't have a lot of game SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B COMMENTARY Memorial Stadium or H1N1 pool? BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@tapsan.com M of ways. Memorial Stadium, in all its 89-year-old glory, could be described in a number It could be called a bowl. A horse-shoe maybe. Heck, if you stood along 11th Street and distorted your depth perception a bit you might dare to be able to call its north facade coliseum-esque. Alas, this fall it may elicit another comparison: a Petri dish. With each day, the H1N1 virus — or "swine flu" — grows in prevalence. This college, largely in part because of the earlier start date of classes and relative openness of the University Relations, has been at the forefront of stories detailing the virus' impact on college campuses. CNN ran a story on its cable programming and online. For a moment, The Drudge Report linked that story at the top of its page. "We'll advise what we've been telling everybody all along and that is to follow your basic common sense procedures," Todd Cohen, director of university relations, said. "If you go to the game wash your hands, avoid touching your face and eyes and just be smart." The college's stance on the matter mostly echoes anyone overseeing the swine flu's spread. Of course, Cohen also advises those sick or those that suspect themselves to be sick to avoid going to the stadium altogether. And with the start of football season brings considerable risk of contracting a virus that has already taken advantage of lecture halls and communal living. Add a 50,000-plus seat stadium and the regularly scheduled flu season and the concern grows. In a nationally broadcasted interview Wednesday in which lanet Napolitano, homeland security secretary told the country to expect a "big influx" of H1N1 cases, washing one's hands and coughing into one's sleeves was the glut of her counsel. The simple things are all anyone can offer regarding preventative measures. It's all they really know what to do at the moment. The University's Web site, as of Wednesday, has 200 students — or less than one percent of the student body — reporting flu-like symptoms, which is a decrease from Monday, when the Kansan reported 313. That number will rise and it will happen far more rapidly if we don't take great care when taking in rames this year When the virus first spread across the headlines this spring, rash measures were taken. Schools closed and Latin American soccer stadiums were empty for the week's games. Cohen told me that such a stance is unnecessary and would actually do more harm than good. "Canceling events didn't necessarily help," Cohen said. "In doing so, you just have more people out and about which is not as effective. Isolating the cases is more effective and less disruptive." The thought of a Memorial Stadium filled with surgical-mask-clad spectators or a game conceived in an empty venue certainly provides plenty of fear-mongering fodder. Let's hope we can keep it a thought. — Edited by Alicia Banister t Follow Kansan sports editor Stephen Montemayor at www.twitter.com/smontemayor r 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 QUOTE OF THE DAY "When it comes to the football field, mind will always win over brute force."

Associated Press COMMENTARY Thursday night football games Keep your head up kid, we made it to the end of the week (sort of) This weekend entails the official start of college football season. While it will be another 48 hours before you can grill outside Memorial Stadium and watch Kansas kick off its 2009 campaign — don't forget hand sanitizer! — you can get things started tonight with a perfectly-timed slate of Thursday night football on ESPN. Among the nine games tonight, two will make it on ESPN: South Carolina at North Carolina State at 6 p.m. and No. 16 Oregon at No. 14 Boise State at 9:15 p.m. First up will be Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks entering the year on the heels of a three-game losing streak. "The old ball coach" has actually experienced three such streaks while at South Carolina each of the last three seasons. To put that in perspective, he only did that twice as head coach at Duke and Florida the 16 years before. I don't see the continuation of a tumultuous tenure with South Carolina getting off to any better of a start tonight as the Gamecocks will arrive in Raleigh as 3 1/2 point underdogs BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR BY GOVT and will face one of the ACC's top quarterbacks in sophomore russell Wilson. Wilson has thrown a school-record 249 consecutive passes without an interception — also good for the nation's longest streak. Later in the evening you'll want to catch the first marquee match of the college football season as the BCS-busting Boise State hosts an Oregon team being crowned as a sexy-pick to capture the Pac 10 championship during a year that finds Southern Cal reloading. If you or anyone you know is sensitive to harsh colors, however, you may want to throw on a pair of shades or watch from a distance as the already-obscenely blue field that the Broncos call home will be accompanied by another potentially dizzying sight. Boise State has constructed a seating chart in which fans in corresponding sections wear either blue, orange or white, thus creating a home-field advantage that may render its opponents epileptic or at least wildly nauseous. That's not to say Oregon can't roll out the unsightly scheme as well. Just check out its new (again) uniforms this season. The Ducks unveil a new uniform scheme every three years in an attempt to lure more recruits while also leaving us scratching our heads. This one's got wings! Appearances aside, there's a lot to love about this season-opening matchup. For starters, two of the nation's top sophomore quarterbacks will duel. Kellen Moore returns to a Boise State squad he helped lead to a 12-1 record with the only loss a one-point defeat against Texas Christian in the Poinsettia Bowl. Oregon has Jeremiah Masoli at the helm trying to avenge a home defeat against Boise State just last season. Despite the daunting color scheme, Oregon just may pull it off. Senior running back LeGarrette Blount may provide the spark that Boise State could have trouble matching. WINGS AND COACHSPEAK The only question left is where to watch the games. THE MORNING BREW Lawrence is not for want of venues to watch a game. That's a discussion for another day. But for tonight and Thursdays this fall, you may want to make a point to head to Buffalo Wild Wings and catch Mark Mangino's Hawk Talk show broadcast live at 6 p.m. on the Javhawk Radio Network. Pace yourself, though wings and refreshments can land you a hefty bill in a hurry. e — Edited by Jonathan Hermes Follow Kansan sports editor Stephen Montemayer at twitter.com/ smontemayer.

FOOTBALL New billboard criticizes coach ASSOCIATED PRESS Weis is well aware that Notre Dame fans have high expectations after the Irish went 3-9 and 7-6 the past two seasons — the most losses in a two-year span in the 120-year history of Irish football.

As president and leader of women's lacrosse, Katlyn Kraft, St. Louis junior, knows well the time needed to care for a team. Surprisingly, some students remain unclear as to exactly how much time is needed to ensure a club sport runs smoothly. Kraft is responsible for helping to set up the team's play schedule by attending a yearly league conference in October. She must stay in contact t Follow Kansan sports writer Jordan Williams at twitter.com/salvio_hexa. with other club sports presidents in the conference and plan travel for her team. Of course this doesn't include the time needed for practice, conditioning, and meetings with the vice president, treasurer or adviser. (both attack and defense), Kraft is not surprised if she runs several miles a game, which usually last one to two hours. When asked alongside last year's president Celie Wall, Greensboro, N.C., senior, about the team dynamics, Kraft and Wall expressed approval and satisfaction. "I feel that there were problems in the past and I had to tell them to let it go, but things are fine now." CELIE WALL Former team president Her interest in lacrosse stems from a manager position for her high school's lacrosse team. Kraft uses lacrosse to stay in shape and sharpen her time management skills. Physical fitness shouldn't be an issue because, as a mid-fielder "I trust my V.P. to handle her business and I trust my treasurer," Kraft said. Wall was happy that the teammates get along well. "I feel that there were problems in the past and I had to tell them to let it go, but things are fine now." Wall said. Although these problems were minor, teammates now avoid petitness and everyone gets a fair chance at playing if they've put in the time and effort. This formula appears to be paying off because women's lacrosse managed a superb 8-1 season for spring 2009. INTERESTED IN PLAYING LACROSSE? Prospective players with questions can go online to the club lacrosse Web Site at www.htosports.com/kulax or contact Kraft at kkraft@ku.edu. The team also hit a first time record by placing first in the west division, then went on to win the entire Central Plains Women's Lacrosse League. However, there remains a greater desire. "Nationals, which are in Phoenix, Arizona, this year, would be nice," said Kraft with a smile. While the team is without a coach for now, Kraft is undaunted by the prospect of guiding and supporting her team, as well as dealing with the day-to-day stress of presiding over a club. Since being mentored by Wall, Kraft has the advantage of having a transition period instead of what Wall said was usually an abrupt change. —Edited by Jonathan Hermes LAKES The KU women's lacrosse team competes in a scrimmage during practice.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO INTRAMURALS Greek opponents motivate players BY KRISTINA POLLARD knollard@kansan.com Though intramurals is a way to stay active for anyone who would like to participate, it is also an activity prevalent in the greek community. Sororites and fraternities across campus are fine-tuning their skills for their competition in flag football, which started play on Sunday. Intramurals get competitive in the Greek community, meaning extra effort is put into games against other fraternities and sororites. Wilinksy said there are no rivalries beforehand, but if friends from other houses are on a team, that makes it more competitive. Greek members are also interested in winning at intramurals because they hope to build a reputation as a winning house. As for playing other fraternities as opposed to a group of non-greek students, Drew Jarrett, Winston-Salem, N.C. freshman, said he is motivated to play harder if he is playing a fraternity on campus. "I heard Beta might be pretty good at intramural sports." Jarrett "You want to compete, you want your house to be the best, obviously. So winning against another fraternity is a lot bigger deal than just winning against a random group of guys." Ben Wilinsky, Overland Park sophomore said. "It's always more fun to play other organizations, there's always that competition in everything." t Follow Kansan sports writer Kristina Pollard at twitter.com/kristinapollard. said, referring to fraternity Beta Theta Pi. "I know our house hasn't been good in the past at flag foot-ball, so hopefully this year we will turn it around and make it pretty far." Alicia Ring, Marysville sophomore and Alpha Chi Omega flag football team member, said it was hard to determine who the team to beat would be this year. "Usually everyone is pretty even, pretty good," Ring said. "It just depends on the girls and who plays that year." Wilinsky said that the fraternity known for its athletics is Phi Delta Theta, the house of which he is a member. Playing on his house's team is mainly for fun and exercise, Wilinsky said. "I don't like to work out that much so I just like to go out and play football," Wilinsky said. "I think it's more about competition," Jarrett said. "Especially being in the Greek community. You want your fraternity to be the best. At everything; grades, sports, the best on the hill. I know it's like that with more guys, they want to win more than to have fun." Edited by Tim Burgess Jarrett shares in those feelings. An intramural basketball player soars for a layup.

Boone was back in a major league game five months after having open-heart surgery. Lilly (10-8) allowed only The Astros ended a nine-game road trip with only two victories, making it their worst multi-season trip this season. four hits in joining Mark Buehrle, CC Sabathia and Johan Santana as the only active left-handers with 10 or more wins in seven straight years. Carlos Marmol pitched the ninth inning for his eighth save. He walked Hunter Pence with one out and gave up Carlos Lee's single before retiring Miguel Tejada and Geoff Blum. Lilly, who is 7-1 with a 1.72 ERA at home, walked none, struck out five and didn't allow any Houston runners past second base. He has beaten Houston four times this season. Astros rookie Felipe Paulino (2-7) pitched almost as well, giving up only four hits in six innings. Though he often overpowered Chicago hitters with his nearly 100 mph fastball, striking out seven, he was done in by one bad inning. Andres Blanco led off the fourth with a double and Derrek Lee followed with his 27th homer of the year. Lee, who after a slow start is batting .322 with 24 homers in 92 games since May 19, reached the 90 RBI mark for the fifth time in his career. Boone played first base for Houston and went hitless in three at-bats. Best remembered for his 2003 AL pennant-winning homer for the New York Yankees against the Boston Red Sox, the 36-year-old robbed Jeff Baker of a double with a diving stop in the third. The Cubs went 11-7 against the Astros this year, matching their most victories over Houston in one season.

The Chiefs are looking for their first win of the year when they play on Thursday. Haley fired off defensive coordinator Chan Gailay on Monday leave playing calls up in the air. ASSOCIATED PRESS It'll be a little different for the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night in St. Louis against the Rams. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Here's how the final preseason game usually plays out: the starters hang around the sideline yukking it up in baseball caps while players most people have never heard of battle for the final roster spots. Coaches and the most diehard of fans love it. Might as well be a sandlot game for most everyone else. The Chiefs need to figure out wholl open the season at quarterback Starter Matt Cassel is out with an injury they won't talk about and neither Brodie Crowle nor Tyler Thippe has distinguished himself as a clear-cut favorite. sive coordinator Chan Gailey on Monday, 13 days before the season opener, and will take over an offense that's scored two touchdowns all preseason. That leaves one dress rehearsal before the juggling act becomes real. There's the issue of play-calling, Coach Todd Haley offer- And, even though it's just a pre-season game, the Chiefs could use a victory. They haven't won a game of any kind in nine months and have just six the past two years. "Every time you go out there,you go out there to prove something." A final tuneup? More like making the sure car can just get out of BRODIE CROYLE Chiefs quarterback the garage. "All of the pieces are pretty big right now as we get down to the wire," Haley said. "Every day is an evaluation. We've got to lean on everything we know and in the next couple of days we'll learn some more." The biggest piece is quarterback. An afterthought headed into the season, Croyle has been the Chiefs' most consistent quarterback through training camp and the preseason. His biggest problem? Kansas City still hasn't scored a touchdown with him under center. That leaves Croyle and Thigpen, who are a combined 1-18 as starting quarterbacks. Cassel injured his left knee against Seattle on Saturday and won't play against the Rams. Beyond that? No one's saying. He could be back for the season opener against Baltimore, could be out two more weeks maybe more. to completely retool the offense for him; he's not the prototypical drop-back style passer. Thippen had an uneven preseason, making a few careless mistakes but also leading the Chiefs on a late scoring drive against Houston in the second preseason game. Croyle opened last season as the starter, anointed by former coach Herm Edwards as the homegrown quarterback the Chiefs had been missing for years. He injured his shoulder in the season opener against New Thipken had some success last season, using his athleticism to create plays, though the Chiefs had England, then suffered a season ending knee injury his first game back in October. Croyle has a slight edge and gets the start against St. Louis, though Haley is going to play it by ear how long he plays. In other words, this final preseason game "Every time you go out there, you go out there to prove something." Croyle said. "This is no different." Haley will certainly experience something new. has a lot hanging on it. Frustrated with the play calling and maybe a little anny to be more involved with the offense — he was the offensive coordinator at Arizona — Haley fired Galley and took over his duties. He's still trying to learn all the nuances of being a head coach and now has another ball in the air. Haley has three assistants who have been offensive coordinators — Maurice Carthon, Bill Muir and Bill Bicknell — so no doubt he'll be leaning on them as he get his feet set.

LOUIS — Steve Spagnuolo knew what he was getting when strong safety James Butler signed with the St. Louis Rams: Both worked for the New York Giants the previous two seasons.

"James has an understanding of our defensive system and is a valuable addition to our team." The 6-iot-3, 215-pound Butler signed a four-year deal after four years with the Giants, reuniting with new Rams coach Spagnuolo — his defensive coordinator the last two seasons in New York.

He has played well in the three preseason games. The Rams play their preseason finale 'Thursday night when the Kansas City Chiefs come to St. Louis. The defense created four turnovers in a 24-21 victory over Cincinnati in the third preseason game. Butler even scored a touchdown in the win, scooping up a fumble and galloping 73 yards to the end zone. "I was a little worried Butler wasn't going to make it at the end," Spagnuolo joked. "I'll tell you what, that was a long drive; the offense had a good drive against us there," Butler said. "I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I got a lot of great blocks." Butler had a breakout year in 2008. He recorded a career-high 14 starts last season and played in 15 games while setting career highs with 76 tackles (45 solo) and three interceptions. Butler agreed.

"That means the guy before played well "well." COLUMBIA, Mo. — After four years with Brad Smith at quarterback and three with Chase Daniel, Missouri fans have grown accustomed to a lot of offense. So all eyes will be on sophmore Blaine Gabbert when the Tigers open the season against Illinois in St. Louis on Saturday. That's something of an understatement. 749-0055 • 704 Mass. • rudyspizzeria.com Dianel won 30 games over three seasons, led Missouri to two Big 12 championship game appearances and a brief stint at No.1 in the AP poll in November 2007. Being next in line is no easy task. But Pinkel has confidence in Gabbert, who was among the nation's most heavily recruited quarterbacks when he came out of Parkway West High School in suburban St. Louis. "Blaine's a very talented guy with a great work ethic," Pinkel said. "Youth or lack of experience to me is absolutely insignificant." Gabbert, though, will face a little more pressure on national television "My family is all coming in for the game," Gabbert said. "I just have to stay calm and relaxed." Associated Press experience but that's because we've had great backpackers in front of us. We hope to carry that on." The offseason, as it always does, served as the training ground for players to either prove or disprove they were capable of filling one of the starting holes. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) And both scenarios have played out on the practice field. The current starters on Kansas' depth chart are Dudley, junior Justin Springer and senior Arist Wright. It's a point reflected in Miller's announcement that Kansas will play a heavy rotation of linebackers, especially in the early portion of the season. "There been ups and downs," Miller said. "A couple of them have come further than I thought they would and some maybe have fallen short a step or two." "There's not a guy that's just head and shoulders above the others," Miller said. But, at the very least, there are plenty of interesting story lines. Dudley is returning to the defensive side of things after spending time at fullback. Springer is recovering from an injury. He only recently began practicing again. And Tharp is making a push for playing time as a freshman. Still, Mangino said, the unit as a whole has continued to progress from the start of practices. "We have made a lot of progress since day one," Mangino said. "There's no question about that. I think those kids are starting to develop some confidence in knowing their assignments, getting their reads and getting where they are supposed to be in both the run and pass game." All offseason, much attention has been given to the development and depth chart at linebacker. With the first game of the season quickly approaching, the speculation can cease. Now it's time to fill the shoes of Kansas' previously successful line-backers. "It's never been amazing athletes we've had at linebackers," Dudley said. "It's been a lot of hard workers who gave everything they had. And I think we have that."

"There's no discussions whatsoever taking place between the Denver Broncos and any team in the NFL regarding Brandon Marshall." ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Moving to quell rumors, Denver coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday the team had not held any talks involving a trade of suspended Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Marshall, who has participated in only a handful of practices during the offseason, has clashed with the organization since the team rebuffled his overtures for a new contract and did not act on his request for a trade. There were reports the New York Jets would be interested in trading for him. McDaniels suspended Marshall for the rest of the preseason last Friday for detrimental conduct stemming for insubordinate actions during a practice. The end of his suspension coincides with the Broncos' week of preparations for their Sept. 13 opener at Cincinnati.

Texas and Oklahoma vying for the number two spot, Oklahoma State ranked in the top ten and Kansas breaking into the top 25. The ranking and polling systems for college football generate heated discussions, but they will still determine who plays for the BCS Championship in January. With the season starting this weekend, fans will get their first look at the teams from around the conference to see how they measure up to their preseason rankings. A debate has raged about how accurately the rankings reflect the level of talent of the teams, and whether or not the BCS rankings correctly place the two best teams in the championship game. Coach Mark Mangino said he has faith in the polls and the people who vote in them. "The people that make those votes are students of the game," Mangino said. "They study every game and they're trusted with their votes." Mangino said he does not vote in polls because he feels it takes too much time. He said that the time he spends on voting could be spent on working with his team. Steve Spurrier, South Carolina coach, also thought it took too much time to vote when he handed off his all-SEC preseason ballot to his director of football operations. Spurrier's ballot had Jevan Snead, Mississippi quarterback, as first team all-SEC instead of Tim Tebow, Florida quarterback. The omission of Tebow on Spurrier's ballot caused an uproar among fans and media. With voting "mistakes" like these, many fans want to look at an open record of the final ballots from coaches. Currently, coaches' ballouts are one third of the equation for figuring out the BCS rankings. When some coaches requested that anonymous voting be brought back in 2010, Sports Illustrated claimed it would take a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against each of the schools that had a coach voting. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma coach, said that there's always an agenda when coaches vote so some of the top votes should be tossed out. At the same time, Stoops said that coaches' votes have to be part of the equation because they have the most invested in the bowl process because of their teams. For some coaches, the whole system of ranking and polling is flawed. Mike Leach, Texas Tech coach, said the polling system doesn't matter and he said he thinks the NCAA should move to a playoff system to determine the NCAA champion. While his comments on a playoff system have met backlash and gained him national attention, Leach said he would still want the bowl games in a playoff system. "I don't believe you get a more honest vote by making it public," Stoops said. "Until I get the memo saying the season's been cancelled I don't really care what the polls say" Leach said. 2009 AP RANKED BIG 12 TEAMS 2 Texas Longhorns 3 Oklahoma Sooners OU OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys N KU 24 Nebraska Cornhuskers 25 Kansas Jayhawks NFL NFL Pinkie to keep Bulger out of Governer's Cup game ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams plan to sit quarterback Marc Bulger in the preseason finale to lessen the chance of him aggrivating a broken right pinkie. Bulger got his arm warmed up for the second straight day Monday, throwing 25-30 passes with the pinkie and right ring finger taped together for stability. That's more throws than on Sunday, and the plan calls for even more on Tuesday in a gradual buildup. But he's yet to take a snap from center since being injured Aug. 17, routine for a healthy quarterback but potentially jarring for one with Bulger's injury. So backup Kyle Boller will get his third consecutive start on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in the annual Governor's Cup game in St. Louis.

Athletics knock around Bannister ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Landon Powell hit his first career grand slam to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals 10-4 Wednesday. Ryan Sweeney had two hits and drove in two runs, while Trevor Cahill won back-to-back starts for the first time in more than two months. Powell homered off Royals reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta as part of Oakland's five-run second inning after Kansas City starter Brian Bannister left the game with shoulder fatigue. Mike Jacobs homered for the Royals, who lost two of three against Oakland without manager Trey Hillman. Hillman left the team on Monday to be with his family following the death of his father-in-law. Cahill (8-12) gave up three runs and six hits in five innings. The As right-hander had not won consecutive starts since mid-June and is only 3-7 in his last 13 starts. He ran into trouble only once, in the third when Jacobs homered and David Dejesus and Alberto Callaspo added RBIs. Following Jacobs' solo home run, Cahill retired seven of the next nine to end his afternoon. Brad Kilby gave up one hit in two innings during his major league debut while Jerry Blevins and former Oakland starter Dana Eveland pitched the final two innings to complete the nine-hitter for Oakland. Bannister gave up three runs in the first innning then left after getting Cliff Pennington to pop out to second base leading off the second. Interim manager John Gibbons and assistant trainer Frank Kyte met with Bannister on the mound briefly before Gibbons signalled to the bullpen for Yabuta, ending the day for Bannister (7-12) after only 32 pitches. After Bannister left, the As batted around against Yabuta to break the game open. Rajai Davis' sacrifice飞 drove in Eric Patterson, then Powell followed with his first career grand slam three batters later to make it 8-0. Day one and you're in control You have plans.

Mark Mangino MLB Cardinal batter off disabled list; much playing time still unlikely ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Troy Glaus was a big bat in the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup last season. In the final month of 2009, he's likely to be a seldom used spare part. Glaus was activated from the 60-day disabled list Monday after finally being deemed ready to play following shoulder surgery in January. The Cardinals long ago moved on without Glaus, who had 27 homers and 99 RBIs last year, and he had zero stats with the clock ticking down on 2009 and free agency awaiting. "We've played five months without him. I can't guarantee him playing time." TONY LA RUSSA Cardinals manager In his first at-bat of the season, Glaus struck out as a pinch hitter against Chris Smith to end the sixth. June. Khalil Greene also worked there during his rehab stints for social anxiety disorder. Mark DeRosa took over at third base Glaus' old position after being acquired from the Indians in late Plus the Cardinals are driving for an NL Central title, and perhaps the best record in the NL, and manager Tony La Russa doesn't want to disrupt their second-half charge. La Russa said he made it clear to the 33-yearold Glaus that he'd be emphasizing the team in the final month. "He's coming in at a difficult time," La Russa said Tuesday. "We've played five months without him. I can't guarantee him playing time just." ready and if you get a call do the best you can." In addition to shoulder woes, Glaus' rehab was elongated by a bulging disk in his back. The original forecast called for Glaus to be at full strength in May, La Russa said there was no urgency to try to get Glaus up to speed in time for the postseason, and he hasn't been in the lineup either of two games since his belated arrival. "I mean, how do you do that?" La Russa said. "How is it possible to do that? So, who doesn't play?" Glaus wasn't impressive at Triple-A Memphis, either, batting 2.16 in 51 at-bats with three homers, eight RBIs and 17 strikeouts. The Cardinals weren't sure he could make the throws from third until watching him work out on Tuesday. Glaus said there's still some pain in the shoulder but insisted he would not be a defensive liability. He was willing to do whatever the Cardinals needed, and was on the on-deck circle preparing to pinch hit when the last out of the eighth inning was made on Tuesday. "I want to play and I want to help this team any way I can," Glaus said. "I don't know what that's going to be, and I think we'll all find out in the weeks to come." If it's pinch hitting, said Glaus will do his best to make the adjustments. Cardinals 8 St. Louis Cardinals' Troy Glaus walks back to the dugout after striking out during his first at-bat of the season during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday in St. Louis. Glaus was activated from the 60-day disabled list Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS BASEBALL Cardinals ahead of Brewers in series ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter won his 10th straight decision despite laboring at times, Skip Schumaker was 4 for 4 with two RBIs and the St. Louis Cardinals clobbered the Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 on Wednesday night. Yadier Molina had a pair of RBI doubles and finished with three hits for the NL Central leaders, whose $10\frac{1}{2}$-game lead is the best in baseball. Troy Glaus, activated from the 60-day disabled list from a shoulder injury Monday, struck out as a pinch hitter to end the sixth in his first at-bat of the season. The Brewers had runners in scoring position every inning except the sixth, the final inning for Carpenter (15-3), when he retired the side in order. The St. Louis offense made those struggles a moot point, finishing with 16 hits off Dave Bush (3-6) and the Brewers' bullpen. The Cardinals have scored 17 runs in the first two games of the three-game series. Associated Press PING PONG Chinese table tennis star finally allowed to date BEJING — As the reigning table tennis world champion with two Olympic silver medals under his belt, China's Wang Hao almost had it all — except a girlfriend. Strict control of athletes' personal lives is common in China's rigid state-run sporting system, which groomes young hopefuls in specialized sports schools around the country to become gold medalists, providing them with intensive training and free food clothes and shelter. "Both of them are old enough and it's normal," the newspaper quoted Peng's coach Qiao Yunping as saying. The 25-year-old was banned from dating until recently, when national team officials permitted his relationship with former national teammate, 23-year-old Peng Luyang, the government-owned Shijian Daily reported Wednesday. Under the watchful eye of team officials, star athletes are often banned from dating or marrying until a certain age, restricted in endorsement contracts and sometimes have a large percentage of their winnings taken away.

I almost always eat at home, and most meals revolve around brown rice or pasta, the staples of any cheap diet. But once a week, I can count on one treat: a delicious roasted-red-pepper pizza from Rudy's Pizzeria. I've been taking advantage of the Wednesday $3/$9/57 deal at Rudy's since before I was a KU student. I first went there in high school while visiting my sister, who was then a KU student, and ate there every week. Five years later, I'm continuing that tradition. Sure, the main reason I eat there every week is because it's a great deal. For about $6, I can get a medium pizza that makes for two or three meals. But I've come to look forward to Wednesdays for more than that. After three busy weekdays, the regularity of my Wednesday nights is comforting. I enjoy going downtown with my roommates and spending an hour drinking beer, eating pizza and catching up. The employees remember my name (although they always misspell it), and the din of the crowded restaurant drowns out any stressful thoughts on my mind. It's become a way for me to unwind.

College is a little late to learn to play tennis if you dream of playing in the U.S. Open. But instead of watching the pros this week, grab a friend and head out to the courts! In the past, tennis was seen by many as an elitist sport played only by card-carrying members of the local country club. Today, it's the fastest growing sport in the U.S. The Sporting Goods Manufactures Association says that last year alone, participation in the sport grew by 9.6 percent nationwide. Burn or enclosure the Photo by Francecsa Chambers What's all the racket? Tennis is currently the fastest growing sport in the United States. Rackets cost as little as $25 and a package of balls costs about $3. Once you have the necessities, you can either play for free on the University's courts. Scott Elwell, manager of First Serve Tennis, 5200 Clinton Pkwy., says the main goal when learning to play tennis is simply to keep the ball going back and forth over the net. "Most anyone can do that right off the bat," he says. But if you decide to take tennis to the next level, the city and First Serve offer private lessons for $15 to $30 an hour, or you can join the University's tennis club to play with other college students at First Serve for a reduced price. Mena Sanchez, 2009 graduate and tennis instructor, says the idea of starting the sport may be daunting, but that she enjoys playing because winning is based on individual ability, not the performance of a team of people.

Plus, according to Claudia Freaney, an Overland Park senior who has been driving a stick shift for the last year, you never know when you'll have to get behind the wheel of a car with a manual transmission. Get in gear: Driving a manual transmission allows you to have complete control over your car. Plus, it looks really cool. The secret to driving a stick shift is figuring out the clutch's sweet spot. To locate the sweet spot, make sure the car is in neutral before starting it, press the clutch down and turn the keys. Then, while holding the clutch down, shift to first. Now comes the tricky part: Slowly start releasing the clutch until the car begins to move, once that happens start giving it some gas (remember to keep releasing the clutch). This point where the car starts moving is the sweet spot, and if you don't balance the gas with releasing the clutch your car will start bucking and die. It's a delicate process, and perhaps the best way to explain it is through my dad's somewhat sexist analogy: "Handle it as you would handle a woman." Once you've gotten a hold of this process, shifting to higher gears is simple. It's the same "release gas pedal, step on clutch, shift gears, start releasing clutch, give gas, finish releasing clutch" process. "And don't wear sandals," Freaney says. // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA 4 MANUAL DOUBLE the pleasure, DOUBLE the fun Hand Where: Sylas and Maddy's What: Two-for-one ice cream cones When: Tuesday 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Price: about $3 for two A local favorite.

LOCAL BUSINESSES OFFER WEEKLY SPECIALS Most students are looking for a cheaper way to have fun after draining their bank accounts paying for tuition and books. Many local businesses offer specials during the week, making it easier to go out and have a good time without spending too much money. And because the deal is usually two-for-one, there's room to invite a friend or even a date to split the deal with. Plan your week accordingly, and if you work it right you could have a different deal for each day of the week Here are a few places to start with. // ANDREA OLSEN photos by Jerry Wang EMPLOYEE PICKS EMPLOYEE PICKS Where:The Jayhawker at the Eldridge Hotel What:Half-price martinis When:Thursday night Price:about $4 per martini If you're looking for a swankier place to go out for drinks, the Jayhawker is the place to do it. Thursday nights make it more affordable, when the establishment offers each of its martinis for half price. With more than 40 different martinis on the menu, there are plenty of options to choose from. Assistant manager Mike Pergande says Thursday nights are the business' busiest night for liquor sales, and it's a popular choice for a girl's night out. He says that while it would be a good option for couples, it often gets too crowded and noisy to have a date. And the swankier location doesn't make it any less of a party; Pergande says Thursday nights still brings BASILIA RIVERSIDE CITY COURT GARAGE party; Pergande says Thursday nights still brings in a lot of the college crowd. La Prima Tazza Two-for-one drinks Tuesday 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. about $3 for two Great for a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, La Prima Tazza offers tasty coffee and tea concoctions to suit everyone. Because of the popularity of their two-for-one deal and the rising costs of goods, the coffee shop had to shorten the hours for the special to be able to keep it going. Blake Ritter, an employee at La Prima Tazza, says that Tuesdays are especially busy because of the two-for-one deal at the Liberty Hall movie theater, located right next door. If you're looking for an all in one deal, find a friend to split with and grab some coffee before hitting up SPPESSO CAFE PUBLIC LIBRARY Where: Liberty Hall Video Rentals What: Two-for-one rentals When: Thursday night Price: $2 - $4 for two movies (depending on if it is a new release) Just in time for the weekend, stock up on movies to watch from Liberty Hall's varied selection. They have their share of new releases, but their best selection comes in the form of cult films, classic movies, foreign selections and independent flies. And with the two-for-one price, it's perfect for trying something new. The staff definitely knows their movies and are always willing to offer suggestions if you are stuck. There is a maximum of five rentals on Thursday nights which gives you plenty of material for a weekend movie marathon. Where: Jefferson's What: 40-cent buffalo wings When: Sunday and Wednesday nights (dine-in only) Price: 40 cents a wing A perfect spot for sports fans, Jefferson's offers the usual array of bar food. Sunday and Wednesday nights, Jefferson's offers its cheap deal with 40-cent Buffalo wings, but you can find $5 burger baskets on Monday and Thursday nights, too. Their fresh chicken wings come in mild, medium, hot and turbo, offering the perfect level of heat for everyone. Waitress Sarah Franklin says Wednesday night is one of the best nights to come because there is trivia from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., along with cheap wings. Bring your friends and test their movie and music knowledge, or see who can handle eating the most turbo hot wings before taking a drink of water. Jefferson's MEAT HOUSE staff members suggest their best-selling items to try out when you visit. Jefferson's: Medium or hot wings Both represent the middle of the range in hotness for Jefferson's wings. Franklin recommends trying the medium sauce, hot tends to be too much for some to handle. La Prima Tazza: Indonesian coffee drink Served either hot or iced, the Indonesian is a blend of double strong coffee with hints of cinnamon and vanilla for extra spice. Sylas and Maddy's: Da Bomb ice cream It's vanilla ice cream with Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate flakes, perfect for those who love a little bit of everything. Garman says that many of their other flavors are favorites as well, including Peanut Butter Freak and Rock Chocolate Jayhawk.

MANUAL 5 Hand FOODS to help you lose that butt and that gut // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS EATING HEALTHY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR·DOESN'T REQUIRE AS MUCH TIME OR MONEY AS STUDENTS THINK The arrival of summer is often accompanied by "summer break resolutions" — plans students make to eat healthier and exercise more rigorously while the weather is nice and the livin' is easy. But when school starts, the weather turns colder and outdoor sports are not as attractive. Resolutions are replaced by studying and previous unhealthy life styles return. Even though school has just begun, Samantha Ingram, Overland Park senior, says she's already concerned she will not be able to keep up with her diet. "I have 8 a.m. classes, so I don't want to get up and eat breakfast," she says. "But you have to force yourself." This school year students can stay fit and eat healthy for cheap by taking advice from nutritionists Staci Hendrickson, owner of Healthy Balance, Inc., 535 Gateway Drive, and Ann Chapman, a consultant at Watkins Memorial Health Center. 1. All-natural peanut butter about $2.30 per container Hendrickson says peanut butter is an inexpensive way for students to add protein, an important component of muscle and bone tissue repair, to their diet. Plus, a variety of tasty, healthy foods can be made better by adding peanut butter, including apples, waffles and bananas. Hendrickson says the worst eating habit students form during the school year is spacing meals five or more hours apart, which leads to overeating in the evening. Her advice to students is to keep easy-to-store snacks like peanut butter and crackers in their backpacks to reduce time between meals. However, Hendrickson says it's important for students to use portion control when snacking on this dish because peanut butter is also high in calories. Laura Peacock, Overland Park sophomore, says she prefers to buy organic products, such as all-natural peanut butter, but she has a difficult time doing so because organic foods are often more expensive. However, Hendrickson says this is not always the case, and all-natural peanut butter is an example of an organic food that is equally expensive as its processed and lesshealthy companion. 2. Canned chicken or tuna about $1.50 and $ .79 per can Chapman says as long as students use low-fat mayonnaise, chicken or tuna salad sandwiches and casseroles are healthy. She says making a casserole is extremely easy. She suggests combining a can of fat-free mushroom soup, peas and a can of tuna with whole-wheat noodles to make the meal as beneficial as possible. Chapman also suggests adding chicken, whether it is canned or off a rotisserie, to tacos and chicken noodle soup to add nutritional value. "The chicken in that soup is a joke," she says. Rustin's Illy Harvest Active Baby Terraced Farm APS Parisienne Carnot WERLAND Photo by Amanda Kistner Spending time back in the lab? You can still fight the flab. Nutritionists say students can stay healthy during the school year with convenient, inexpensive foods such as peanut butter, frozen fruits and vegetables and canned tuna and beans. 3. Low-fat,refried beans about $1.00 per can Hendrickson says all kinds of beans are good for the body, but cooking canned beans is less time consuming than cooking with dried beans. Beans are high in protein, yet are enriched with iron, which is important for the maintenance of red blood cells and B vitamins, which aid in increasing metabolism, energy and brain functioning. Chapman says beans can be added to canned soups to make them more nutritious, or they can be used to make quesadillas. Her recipe calls for fat-free refried beans, whole-wheat tortillas, salsa, low-fat graded cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Use the whole can of beans and freeze extra quesadillas, she says, for an easy-to-make meal to eat later. Peacock, who has been a vegetarian for two years, says students can also add black beans to their diet as an alternative to refried beans. She suggests buying frozen MorningStar black bean burgers. They're tasty, healthy and easy to make, she says. 4. Frozen fruit— mixed berries, about $2.84 per bag Hendrickson says fresh fruit is preferable to frozen fruit, but it is more expensive. Fruit is an important source of anti-oxidants, which help to prevent diseases, and fiber, which helps make your stomach feel full. "If you are watching your weight that's a really good option because you are looking for foods that fill you up," Hendrickson says of eating frozen blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. Frozen fruit can also be added to plain yogurt to make a delicious, healthy dessert. She says yogurt makes a great snack because it contains calcium, potassium and bacteria that are healthy for the gut, helping us digest our food better. Hendrickson advises students to add fruit to plain yogurt rather than buy flavored yogurt because flavored yogurt contains added sugars. 5. Frozen vegetables about $2.10 per bag Hendrickson suggests buying frozen vegetables because fresh veggies are often expensive and rot quickly. "There are more time savers for students now — especially if you are trying to eat healthy, and especially for produce," she says. "Take advantage of those ready-to-eat bagged mixtures." Hendrickson suggests tossing vegetables in pasta or rice-a-roni to make the veggies taste better. She says the more color a vegetable has the better. Green and orange vegetables are the most nutritious, she says, though potatoes are the exception to the color rule. If you must have tomatoes, Chapman offers a BLT made with turkey bacon and whole wheat bread as a healthy solution. Hendrickson says fruits and vegetables contain many of the same minerals, but vegetables contain more fiber than fruits. eating healthy on campus Chapman says the University began the program "Better Bites" several years ago to provide healthier eating options to students living on campus. Better Bites are foods on campus that are low in sodium and cholesterol and meet the American Heart Association requirements for healthy eating. They are marked with a little green man next to their label and are sold at most dining facilities on campus. Chapman says Better Bites are a great healthy food option because they are easily accessible and they are not any more expensive than other foods on campus. In fact, students are rewarded for eating healthy on campus. Anytime students buy a sandwich or a wrap that is marked as a Better Bite, they are eligible to receive a punch on a card. For every five punches students receive, they receive a free Better Bites sandwich and a special shirt and water bottle. 7 09 03 09 --- △ PLAY FOR SOME LOCAL BANDS, OPEN MIC NIGHTS PROVIDE A LAUNCHING PAD FOR BIGGER STAGES. AMATEUR HOUR》 // ZACH GETZ إنديكا Photo by Adam Buhler Getting their feet wet: Grizzly Adams members (from left to right) Tyler Lohman, sophomore drummer from Overland Park, Omar Hamahi, sophomore vocalist from Overland Park and Matt Batterson, junior guitarist from Lenexa, use open mic nights to help further the music. Grizzly Adams get ready to take the stage at the Bottleneck at 11:30 p.m. There are 23 people in the audience, mostly friends and other bands who had already played that night. While other bands may be disappointed with such a small crowd, the members of Grizzly Adams don't seem to mind. Tonight will be the band's first show. Before the show, they seem oddly confident. The band stands outside the Bottleneck talking about their set list and what to expect for the night. Some of the band members have been onstage before, but for others, like frontman Omar Ramahi, it will be their first time on a stage. Grizzly Adams, like many other local bands, try to use open mic nights to help promote their band and gain experience. Finally the time comes. The drum sticks tap, the guitar riffs start and the disco ball begins spinning. Grizzly Adams rip through their three songs, the only three songs they have down, and call it a night. While the band has hopes and dreams to move onto the next level and get signed, they know they must do smaller shows like open mic nights first. "If you do these shitty little gigs long enough then someone will take notice," says guitarist Jimi Myers. After the show it was obvious that the band had a lot of work to do. Ramahi said that he was winded after doing just three songs, and other band members discussed the various kinks the show had. But the band members say they plan to do future open mic nights to help sort out the kinks. Open mic nights are a great way for new bands and solo artists to get more exposure around a music scene. Open mic nights are also a good way for those who are tired of playing Guitar Hero in their living rooms to get out and see how it feels to play on a real stage in front of a real audience. "Any level player can do this," says Ryan Wise, who hosts open mic nights at the Jazzhaus on Wednesdays. "When you come in we take care of you. If your guitar doesn't plug in we have a mic. If it does, we have a cable. It's nothing really that difficult. It's a really laid back setting, which is the idea: Learn how to play guitar in front of a live audience." Wise says that it's good for artists because they get the experience as well as free exposure. Wise also says that open mic nights are important for a music scene because that's how many bands get their start, and it's how musicians meet new people. Wise says he likes hosting open mic nights because it gives a platform for musicians, both those who are established and those who just want to try to play in front of a live audience. He says it's also good for the venue because it brings people into the bar that normally wouldn't be there. OPEN MIC NIGHTS AROUND LAWRENCE Monday: The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Wednesday: The Jazzaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St. Friday: The Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave. Saturday: Duffy's 2222 W. Sixth St. This night at the Jazzhaus, Joseph Schreiner is playing in front of a small candlelit audience. He singles folky songs on his acoustic guitar. Schreiner: who has been doing open mics for about three years now, says one of the biggest reasons that he participates in open mic nights is because they are fun. He also says he does it because it's hard for solo artists to get exposure in Lawrence. "You need to tap every available market," says Schreiner. Schreiner warns artists who want to try open mic nights to be prepared. He says sometimes hecklers will harass the artists, and occasionally strange things will go awry. He says to judge the audience for their reaction to your songs to see which ones work and which ones don't. While open mic nights are a great way to help get your name into the local music scene, don't expect to become famous overnight. "Don't look at it as something that will make or break your career. Any band who should be playing music should be playing for the fun anyway," says Joe Wilson, who helps book bands for the Bottleneck's open mic night. Wilson says he believes open mic nights benefit the bands by allowing them to meet other bands and network. Wilson says the networking allows bands to look out for each other and help spread their love for music. "If we can't make the band a bunch of shows or a bunch of money,we might as well get them together with other bands that can hook them up with other shows in town and out of town," says Wilson. Wilson says that open mic nights shouldn't be used to get famous, but as a way to make music with those who love to make music and to be involved in the local music scene. 09 03 8 09 PLAY out & about // random people. random answers.

The four piece instrumental outfit fronted by the virtuosic guitars of Matt Gader relies on the careful melding of progressive rock, jazz fusion and funk. With roots firmly grounded in bands like Umphrey's McGee, Frank Zappa and Yes, The Cosmopolitics have carved out a nitch in the Lawrence music scene. The fan base they've built over their five years together shows that their audience doesn't seem to mind their lack of lyrics. However the band, which has been relentlessly touring, is finding it difficult to garner much attention without vocals. Lacking any major label support, the group tried to clear its own path by starting its own label. Stone Lab Records, Luke Stone, the band's drummer, primarily runs the label. The band has released one album on this label — Idio-Sin-Chronic — and are in the process of recording their latest album, Mental Hygiene. Fans can expect to hear keyboardist Ken Lovern play a larger role in the band's sound on the new album. The Cosmopolitics are playing at the Jazzhaus tomorrow and are slated for a west coast tour following a gig opening for The Steve Kimock Band on October 24th.

Those unfamiliar with the Troubles might consider the conflict a religious battle between Catholics and Protestants, and while religion does play an important role, the struggle also has roots in political matters, the main issue regarding the political status of Northern Ireland. The island of Ireland is split into two countries: the Republic of Ireland, which is an independent country, and Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom. Much of the fight revolves around the relationship between the mostly Protestant Unionists (in favor of remaining with the UK) and the mostly Catholic Nationalists (in favor of uniting all of Ireland). The small, picturesque city of Armagh is located in Northern Ireland, close to the border with the Republic. The town has two prominent cathedrals, both by the name of St. Patrick; one for the Church of Ireland and one for the Roman Catholic Church. Because of its proximity to the Republic and its strong Protestant and Catholic communities, a number of violent incidents regarding the Troubles have happened here. Although the Troubles officially ended with the Belfast Agreement in 1998, tension remains high and remnants of this violent period can still be seen around Armagh. Susan Melgren, 2009 graduate, spent time in Armagh this summer in a journalism study abroad program. These photos comprised part of her final project. - Above: Storm clouds pass over a graffiti-covered wall along a sidewalk in a Catholic neighborhood.

When Dajung Woo, South Korea senior and Mathew Brown, JCCC student and future KU student, hugged for the first time, Brown wrapped his arms around Woo, and she instantly became tense. She bent forward so her body wouldn't touch his, and she lightly patted him on the back. With a nervous smile and shaky laugh, she walked away thinking about why Brown readily hugged her. This was when Brown realized South Koreans never hug each other. Brown and Woo are just one couple that have experienced the cultural shock of international dating. It's not exactly easy to snag someone from a different country. With an enrollment of more than 30,000 students and about 2,000 of them being international students, a date with a person from a different country is quite unlikely. But there is always a chance that you may one day be sitting across a table from an exotic date when a bill is dropped between the two of you. Then the questions of culture set in, and you wonder about the proper and safe way to get the bill paid. In Korea, Singapore, Mexico and China, there are some definite rules to follow so that you can avoid embarrassment. Woo says that most Korean girls don't date at a young age because their parents will disapprove. If the girls go against their parents' wishes, they have to keep their boyfriends a secret. "Koreans hide their boyfriends and girlfriends from their parents. We never hang out with parents or at the house," says Woo. Usually the secret boyfriends are much older than the girls because of military recruitment. Every man is required to join the military when they are in their early 20s, leaving an age gap among the men. Luckily, Woo didn't have to spend too much time keeping a boyfriend a secret. She met Brown while they were both studying abroad in Japan, and now that they are both in the United States, Brown has the luxury of showing Woo a good time no matter what they decide to do. "An awesome thing about being able to date a girl from another culture is that everything is new to her. Dajung has never seen some of the animals here, not even a bunny running across the road," Brown says. "Dates are so easy to plan." According to Ray Sin, Singapore graduate student, dates in Singapore are so casual that planning isn't necessary. "We don't have a lot of rules governing dating propriety," says Sin. In fact, if the male picks up the girl at her house, which is a rare occurrence because cars are so expensive, he will text her to come to the car instead of knocking on the door and introducing himself. Sin has been on dates where reservations had been made and drinks were ordered for him. "We are very capable of ordering our own drinks. I thought that was weird," says Sin. In Singapore, the fertility rate is low, and the Singapore government is doing everything they can to promote marriage and procreation. The "campaign" is called Romancing Singapore. This event is like a festival, but lasts a year long so the people's behavior will be influenced. "The government is basically teaching us how to date. It's evil and it's hetero normative," Sin says. Sin strongly believes that the government is wrong to not consider single mothers and same sex couples. The dating scene in Mexico seems to be a bit more liberal. There isn't any specific age where boys and girls start dating, but at 18 they are legal to drink and therefore go to clubs to drink and dance. - Dancing is actually a plus if you want to attract a partner. Elizabeth Villalobos, Mexico Grad student, jokes about her current boyfriend's moves, "He tries to dance but he's bad. The man is supposed to lead, and usually you will expect a boyfriend to go out and dance with you all night." People in Mexico also like When the relationship goes from friendship to a more serious relationship, the boyfriend will ask the girlfriend's parents if it is OK to take her out. Villalobos says that Latin culture is extremely vocal, and there is no problem with communicating with the parents, quite unlike Korea and Singapore. to stretch their vocal chords by commenting frequently during movies. Even during conversation, if one person doesn't interrupt the other with short phrases, it is seen as a flaw in a person's ability to communicate. "We are more oral than visual. In Latin American culture if you don't say yes or no, this is proof that you are not engaged in the conversation; they will think you're bored," says Villalobos. Also, when dating a Mexican man, let him pay the bills. If you've ever heard of the machismo nature of a man, this is part of it. "Males pay for everything. Always. And if he doesn't, that means that he's not man enough," says Villalobos. "I always wanted to pay though, and if the girl does pay, they get really offended because you won't let them be a man fully." In China, paying for dates is different. "When we split bills, it's really uncomfortable to me as a Chinese (person) because we take turns in China," says Yinjie Li, China graduate student. The typical place for a date is KFC or McDonalds. Surprisingly, these fast food restaurants are on the expensive side for a date, and Pizza Hut is twice as expensive. Li says these places are considered exotic and welcoming for a date. Li is married to an American and she recalls an embarrassing story. The first time he met her parents he didn't bring gifts for them. In China, the man is expected to bring alcohol or cigarettes to the father and fruits or flowers to the mother. This goes for women meeting their boyfriend's parents for the first time as well. When Li's soon-to-be husband didn't bring gifts she was a bit embarrassed because this would usually be considered as disrespectful. All four of these international students have a significant other that is American. There might be barriers of cultural differences, but their relationships hold strong. According to Brown, dating a girl from a different culture is the best way to go. "An intercultural relationship is one of the best things ever. I never thought I could learn so much from one person. I'm learning about language, food and culture. Everything is new," says Brown. "I love every single moment I spend with her." What not to do on a date with a Korean. Photo illustration by Jerry Wang 米饭 To avoid freaking out your Asian girlfriend or boyfriend, never place the chopsticks sticking straight down in the rice you are eating. In Korea, Japan and China, this is a symbol for the dead. Woo says that on days that the dead are worshiped, families will symbolically offer a table of food to the spirits of the dead. In the center all of the delicious food is a bowl of rice with the chopsticks standing straight up. 09 12 03 09 --- SEND YOUR FRIENDS TO BED AT Campus Court at Naismith Rooms still available!

Jennifer Lopez has a very similar gaze with narrowed eyes; she's clearly leaning forward, smiling, preening, and has an unmistakable head tilt. I believe we can say Mr. Clooney is a good flirt. The aforementioned scene is from the movie Out of Sight. All of Clooney's moves are perfect examples of body language cues that people use consciously or unconsciously to attract a mate. These nonverbal cues are much tougher to control than verbal cues, and therefore are more likely to tell the real truth. Pay attention to the nonverbal cues if the verbal cues someone is giving are inconsistent. When trying to detect if someone is attracted to us, reading body language and someone's nonverbal cues is crucial, especially for males. Studies have consistently shown that men, much more than women, over- analyze a female's sexual interest. Men tend to attach the slightest of cues and displays of interest to be cues of sexual attraction. Here is a short list of body-language cues that will tell you if someone is truly interested. The key is to spot signs of interests used in clusters or for a longer period of time. Like in the Clooney/Lopez example, there was a clear cluster of body interests that come together to tell the whole story. Smiling is very powerful for increasing attraction. Research suggests that someone's smile is the first thing that people notice when forming an initial impression. A smile of interest is one that is a sensual one, one in which the person's eyes are narrowed, their mouth is slightly open, and their teeth are only partially seen (See Clooney for details; no one does it better). ALEXANDER BURNS Eye contact is important. It can really build connection. Someone who makes strong eye contact with eyes narrowed is showing interest. Mike Anderson, Dell- wood, Minn., graduate student, is the host of Kansas in That, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Wednesdays at 3 p.m. on KRK 90/100 and on kik.org. *THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP. Preening involves adjusting ourselves to look more attractive. This is a definite sign of interest. Females will often stroke their hair or check their jewelry. Loosening of anything should also be a dead giveaway of interest. Men will often fix their ties, collars, lapels or shirt sleeves. Pay attention to what they do with their drink. If someone lowers their drink, they are removing their barrier and showing interest. Also, if they play with objects, especially a drink, it is a sign they are interested. That extra energy has to travel somewhere and it usually manifests itself in a person playing with objects like glasses, silverware or jewelry. Mirroring is also a traditional body-language cue used to increase liking. If you find that someone is mirroring your body language it means they are trying to increase your liking of them. a tilted head means they are interested in you. In my opinion this is one of the easiest body cues to detect, and one of the surest signs of interest. If you are wondering about cues of disinterest, just think about the opposite of all of these above. A tense person with a closed posture who squeezes and taps objects while touching their face, leaning away, not smiling, having shifty eye contact and keeping their drink high. And when they say they are not interested, they mean it. In the end it takes practice and experience to be able to monitor your body language and pick up on the cues of others. But once you begin to see it, it will be clear as day. While some might argue for other cues of interest, it is my opinion that one will use and see the majority of these cues.

Seven years ago, Katie Hastings was known as the college girl who dated a sophomore in high school. Hastings, 26-year-old Dallas junior, started dating an acquaintance of Peter Lewis, 23-year-old Dallas senior, when she was a student at the University of North Texas and he went to a high school in Dallas. But when her boyfriend broke up with her, Hastings confided in Lewis, who had also been recently tossed aside by his girlfriend. TOMMY JOHNSON Contributed photo "Everyone was sick of hearing us complain, so they told us to go bitch to each other," Hastings says. The bitching and whining resulted in friendship and later led to something more. In 2005, Hastings started to have dreams about kissing Lewis. She didn't understand them at the time, but then everything started to make sense when Peter randomly kissed her at a friend's house. The rest is history. In 2006 they moved to Lawrence and have been together ever since. They say that they've never had any serious arguments, the Man of her dreams: Katie Hastings once dreamed of kissing Peter Lewis, now the two are engaged. only problem they have is accidentally wearing the same shirts on the same day. catch of the week // PETER LONGOFONO our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea. This summer, Lewis asked Hastings to marry him. The day he bought the ring, he took a picture of it and uploaded the picture to the background of Hastings' computer. "When I first saw it, it took me a second to figure out what was going on. Then I turned around, and I saw Peter standing there with the ring in his hand," Hastings says. With their broken hearts mended, Peter and Katie will tie the knot June 27, 2010. // HAILEY OSTERHAUS Contributed photo major: Creative writing interested in: Women "My ideal date would be to get in a hot air balloon, cut all the sand bags, and just go!" says Peter Longofono, Danbury, Conn., senior. But if that plan doesn't quite fit the itinerary, he might just try to impress a girl with exotic and organic foods. If the meal he cooks turns out to be a crispy burnt mess, he'd just joke about it and make you laugh away his embarrassment. When he's not cracking jokes, Longofono can be seen on the stage playing funk music on his bass guitar with his band Oh O.K. But rather than having a girl screaming for him in the front row with starry eyes, he'd want to see his girl playing music on her own stage instead. "I think Peter's extreme intelligence and humor matches his beautiful red hair," jokes Shane Lennon, Branson, Mo., senior. Lennon says that girls have dated Longofono in the past because of his artistic abilities to play music and write poetry. After his last year at the University he plans to apply to New York University to study poetry. He says the poetry department at this prestigious school takes 15 to 20 students every year. His alternate plan is to pursue his music. From the looks of it, Peter has a plan for the future that will take him far, hot air balloon or not. // HAILEY OSTERHAUS Half Off* T-shirts, Jeans Sweatshirts, *Buy one at regular price, get one 50% off.

"If you stare at the television too long you will go blind," or "if you cross your eyes too long they will get stuck that way." As outrageous as these statements sound, we believed them. But what if blue M&M's contained nutritional value, or that women are generationally getting hotter? Researchers across the globe have set out to prove many things that are weird but true, things that make people scratch there heads and say, "what?" Blue M&M's may have health benefits. M&M's are usually thought of as the delicious little morsels with the "hard candy shell." But what if I were to tell you that these treats do more than just "melt in your mouth." 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Germaine Reinhardt, associate director of public relations at the University of Rochester Medical Center, says that "Brilliant Blue G," the compound that has proven successful in reducing secondary injury after a spinal cord injury, is a close cousin to the commonly used blue food dye. The dye contains the component, Brilliant Blue G, which blocks a chemical set out to kill healthy spinal cord cells. According to a recent CNN article, when lab rats were given large quantities of Brilliant Blue G, their spinal problems eventually went away, but the dye temporarily turned them blue. A new study conducted by researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center in New York found that these savory morsels are good for people with spinal problems. Why? It's not the chocolate itself, but the dye contained in the candy. Sorry, men. Women are getting hotter. You are not Although this is kind of awesome,looking like a Smurf probably wouldn't be great for your social life. That's right, men are actually from Mars and women are from planet hotness. Beware that even though it seems like a brilliant idea to eat a ton of these candies, especially after breaking your back thanks to a heavily loaded backpack of books (or beer), there are still some kinks that need to be straightened out. Photo by Amanda Kistner Don't believe me? Ask the research team at the University of Helsinki, who found that women with traits associated with physical "attractiveness" are disproportionately more likely to have daughters than sons. The daughters then inherit the attractive traits, and so on. According to The Times of London, Markus Jokela, a researcher at the University of Helsinki, used data gathered in the United States by tracking 1,244 women and 997 men over four decades. Their attractiveness was gathered from photographs taken during the study, and rated on physical characters that most human beings would consider "attractive." The researchers then collected data on the number of children they had. The "beautiful" women had up to 16 percent more children than their plain-looking counterparts. Cory Kasten, Alton, Ill., senior, was not in the least bit upset by this news. In fact, he was relieved to know that he can get fat and old, while his wife remains good looking. I'll just take the ... uh ... French fries Thinking about ordering a salad? Even if you don't, you may feel like you did, giving you a reason to reward yourself with a side of fries. Confused? Allow me to explain. Gavan Fitzsimons and his team of researchers at Duke University recently discovered that the more healthy options there are on a menu, the more likely a person is to order junk food. Known as "vicarious goal fulfillment," only thinking about ordering a salad may make you feel like you did. Fitzsimons said that in the lab experiment, participants possessing high levels of self-control related to food choices avoided French fries, the least healthy item on a menu. But when a side salad was added to this menu, Time crunch: Not quite a case of the Mondays. A recent study conducted in Britain found that participants reported that Tuesday at about 11:45 a.m. was the most stressful time of the week because they wasted Monday. they became much more likely to want the unhealthy stuff. AH! IT'S 11:45 A.M. ON TUESDAY! For many students, Mondays are pretty average. Recovering from the weekend, you slowly move through your day with a small amount of motivation. Then all of a sudden, Tuesday comes around, it's almost noon and you realize, "Oh my God. I have four tests, a 10-page paper and a speech to give on nuclear biochemical engineering!" Sound familiar? A recent study conducted in Britain by Graham Waters and a team from Health Supplement Bimuno, polled 3,000 working British adults to find out when the most stressful time of the week was. According to Waters, more than 53 percent of those polled admitted not doing much on Mondays and one in 10 said they delayed their weekly work by checking Facebook to view photos from their weekend debauchery. After realizing that they had barely accomplished anything on Monday, and spending Tuesday morning spent dwelling on what should be done, the specific stressful time and day of the week becomes apparent: Tuesdays at 11:45 a.m. Dom Martinez, Dallas senior, said he not only agrees with this fact, but can attest to it. "I realize now how lazy I am on Mondays, and it really makes a lot of sense why I am so stressed the rest of the week," Martinez says. So, stop using Mondays to upload weekend photos of your friends, and start using it productively, before the dreaded 11:45 a.m. FIVE STUDIES THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT: - Having a Facebook will make you more inclined to stalk, dwell, and spy on past love interests, according to a study reported by CyberPsychology & Behavior. - Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica reported recently that pissing in the bathub will help to save the environment. That is, if you retain from flushing the toilet once a day, you will conserve 1,000 gallons of water annually. - People have a 75 percent chance of developing skin cancer when using tanning beds. According to the medical journal Lancet Oncology. - Men are just as afraid to swim with snarks as they are of getting married, according to a survey given to 3,000 British men by Vue Cinema. - Beer guts have a lot more to do with genetic makeup than with the actual consumed beverage, according to a study done by a German and Swedish Research team, recently published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 09 03 09 16 NOTICE WIFI celebritweets // LANCE ARMSTRONG Twitter musings of the rich and/or famous.

THE TV ON Photo illustration by Jerry Wang 100% After a long day at school and work, you're exhausted, but can't stop tossing and turning. You decide to grab the remote and turn on the TV. But could watching Letterman or Conan be contributing to your insomnia? Snooze tube. Leaving the TV on while you sleep could leave you restless Leaving the tube on while you fall asleep could be unhealthy for you. During the first few stages of sleep, you can be awakened very easily. "The flickering light or noise from the TV can disrupt your sleep," says Gary Carder, director of The Sleep Center at Pulmonary and Sleep Associates in Topeka. If you continue to lose sleep or repeatedly wake up while sleeping, you begin to accumulate sleep debt or lack of sleep. When sleep debt starts to build up you feel睡ier during the day and may have more difficulty concentrating on that Western Civ. lecture. If you still can't hit the sack without your late night TV fix, Carder suggests setting a timer for the TV to go off, so it doesn't stay on all night and interrupt your sleep. Just watching the tube before bed isn't necessarily unhealthy for you, but it could make it more difficult to fall asleep. Everyone should have a routine before going to bed, Carder says. If watching a little TV is part of your routine, it's OK, so long as you click it off before falling asleep. What TV show you're watching could contribute to insomnia, though. Watching an action film or horror movie that gets your adrenaline pumping isn't a good idea before bed. Try to watch something quiet and relaxing to get a good night's sleep. VERDICT: BAD FOR YOU // KIRSTEN HUDSON that's disgusting dude. gross. You might not let Rover cuddle up next to you before going to sleep if you knew what he was bringing into your bed. Fleas and ticks attached to your dog can spread to your bedding and to you. If you notice itchy, red bumps on your skin, it may be from fleas or ticks. Pets can also spread skin mites and ringworm. Ringworm will look like a little red circle on your skin, sometimes with fungus inside the circle. "Spreading infections is just a risk you take on if you're letting critters in your bed," says Dr. Robin Michael, a veterinarian at Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital in Lawrence. Unless you bathe your pet regularly, chances are Fido is pretty filthy. "If they've been outside running around, they're going to get any beds or furniture they get on dirty," Michael says. The amount of grime also depends on the pet. "An indoor cat probably isn't going to be as dirty as an outdoor dog," she says. If you're allergic, letting your pet into LETTING YOUR PET SLEEP ON THE BED your bed isn't a good idea. Pet fur and dander can accumulate in bedding. Also, according to the Mayo Clinic, if your loveable canine is a drooler, saliva may be sticking to your bedding and clothes.

With his unceremonious garage sound, fuzzed out vocals, and blitzkrieg style. Reatard brings back the same punk sensibilities that make him accessible and fun. This album, however, takes those punk sensibilities and tries to split them with the great pop sound that he has been growing into. It gives a more introspective listen, which makes sense, as Reatard is still growing up. Not yet 30, Reatard is still young, and this album shows that he's still learning. The previous Matador Singles Collections that he released don't quite have the fluidity that this album has. They don't delve into his personality as much, which gets more and more interesting the deeper the songs get. Songs like "Man of Steel" and "Before I Was Caught" are more like the Matador Collections, but then the album has songs like "Faking It," which show a different side. They still have the driving guitars, but the mood doesn't seem as youthful or carefree. The long and short of it is that this album contains all of the fantastic punk sounds that made Reatard what he is, but matures in that this album is a melding of his punk roots and pop future. Reatard,says that people look too much into his newer sound, stating "I think it's just noisy pop music." That's the basis of it, but what he apparently doesn't realize is that people grow up. Even noisy pop-music makers. // LOGAN NICKELS, kjhk station manager Tolstoy once wrote "happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." In some cases, the same thing could be said about movies. While one could very reasonably argue that good movies are good for a variety of different reasons, it can just as easily be said that bad movies can also be uniquely bad. movie review // 'THE INFORMERS' Hollywood hits, indie flicks, and everything in between. Such is the case with "The Informers" (out Aug. 25 on DVD), an amazingly dull movie about a group of beautiful people living in 1983 L.A. behaving vapidly and despicably. Now, this is a movie adapted by Bret Easton Ellis from his short story collection of the same name. Ellis has made a career for himself by crafting stories about beautiful people behaving despicably, and the movie adaptations of his books have usually managed to make this subject matter fairly interesting (see "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho"). But not so with "The Informers." This is a movie about rich, pampered Californians overflowing with ennui, and getting it out of their system by having lots of sex with each other, getting drunk and taking drugs. That's all. Not even the subplot, in which a bellboy (Brad Renfro, in his final big-screen role) has to put up with his degenerate uncle (Mickey Rourke) and his criminal exploits, can divert from the boredom. Perhaps what's really missing from "The Informers" is satire. At least "American Psycho" had the good sense not to take itself too seriously. Unfortunately nobody, not even Ellis, seemed to realize this with "The Informers." Every inch of the over-the-top plot and each unsympathetic character is taken so seriously that the audience is left with a character study of characters it is impossible to be interested in. 09 18 03 09 // ABBY OLCESE ★☆★★ SPEAK 1 SATURDAYS WITH BOB OK CHARLES How KU football brought my dad and me closer together // AMY JOHNSON Contributed photo Rock chalk: For writer Amy Johnson and her father, KU football continues to be a tradition of great importance — one that brought them together as father and daughter. Each year as August begins to flow into September and the air becomes a little bit cooler, I begin to dream about portable grills, an assortment of unidentifiable dips and towers of red Solo cups. Football season kicks off, and I realize why it's my favorite time of year. KU football has been a part of my life since I was negative nine months old. Being a Jayhawk was encoded in my DNA by my die-hard-fan father. Growing up in Lawrence my dad started going to KU football games with his buddies in junior high some 40-plus years ago, a tradition they carried on through high school, their college careers as Jayhawks and all the way to present day. We Johnsons have been going to basketball games equally as long, but there is nothing quite like a football game. This is probably because you don't just go to the game; you spend your entire day basking in it. Growing up I had to pretty much block out all day every Saturday from September through November from my social calendar. What, Susie's having a slumber party Friday night? Oh sorry, KU has Nebraska at home that Saturday so I need to be well rested. Because if KU was playing at 1 p.m., we needed to be in the parking lot at 8 a.m., which meant my dad wanted us in the car buckled-up at 7 a.m. The weather didn't matter either. Whether there was blistering heat, rain, shine, sleet, snow or hurricane, Drill Sergeant Dad had us in that car ready to go. Then some 12 hours later he would lead the troops home exhausted, cranky and with severe stomachaches from eating too much. Even though waking up that early on a Saturday during my prime sleeping-in years sometimes made me want to punch something, it was absolutely worth it once the tailgate started to get going. My dad's whole clan of high school buddies practice the exact same ritual with their families: Up at dawn, tailgate all day, don't leave until the clock runs out. Plus there would always be swarms of people who would come and go throughout the day grazing on our food. On warm days we'd consume mass quantities of chips in every variety, homemade seven-layer bean dip, what I can only assume was last year's Halloween candy, and assorted meats fresh off the grill. Soda and water filled the giant red cooler, and cases of Bud Light — Miller Light when we played MU (Anheuser-Busch has roots in St. Louis) — filled the blue cooler that I was banned from until recently. And on cold days we'd step away from the tiny space heater just long enough to eat a bowl of chili or fill a Styrofoam cup full of burn-your-tongue hot chocolate. Despite the food and festivities, I have to say the best part about my family's football Saturday tradition was logging all that quality father-daughter time, because I absolutely loved hanging out with my dad all day. To know game-day Bob is to know the true Bob, because only on game days is he truly in his element. He steps out of his suit and into his royal blue polo. He turns off the insurance sales pitch and reminisces on the shenanigans of his youth instead of buzzing on his blackberry. That man loves nothing more than some good daytime beer-drinking and joking around with his best pals. Five hours of running around the tailgate with my cousins later, we would weave our way through the herd of people heading into the stadium. I always tried to snag a seat next to him, throwing elbows at my sisters on the bleachers and yelling, "Dibs!" He'd put his arm around me and proudly but quietly (he's no American Idol) sing the alma mater. Then he'd talk to regulars around our seats about players, and what the team needed to do this season to finally come out of it's slump. I'd sit there nodding my head as he rattled off players' names and stats, thinking, "My God, my dad must be a friggen' genius." And with a kick, the game would start. When he yelled, I yelled. When he booed, I booed. As the clock ticked he'd teach me about the game, sometimes inadvertently while yelling at the referees. Memorial Stadium is where I first felt true disappointment, where I first felt a true state of ecstatic happiness, and where I learned the A-to-Z dictionary of swear words. As I've gotten older, the family aspect of our DESPITE THE FOOD AND FESTIVITIES, I HAVE TO SAY THE BEST PART ABOUT MY FAMILY'S FOOTBALL SATURDAY TRADITION WAS LOGGING ALL THAT QUALITY FATHER-DAUGHTER TIME... tailgate has started to thin out. One of my sisters moved after graduating from KU, the other went to K-State and was cut out of our lives (just kidding, we forgave her), and my mom decided she'd rather watch the games on television. But my dad has never left, and neither have I. Every Saturday I'm in the exact same spot, sitting around the tailgate with my dad and his friends begging to hear the one when they snuck flasks into the stadium in their tube socks one more time. As I embark on my final football season before I'm an official alum, I've become nostalgic about the past 21 years my dad and I have spent cheering on our favorite team together. I now know that during our times together at the stadium he did more than teach me about football; he passed a piece of himself onto me. KU football has been a huge part of his life and he wanted to share that with me. The Saturdays we've spent together have been some of the most defining moments of our relationship and my life. Come the first game day this year, I'll be right where I've always been: sitting by my dad, watching the game.

FOOTBALL | 10A FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 CULTURE VOLUME 121 ISSUE 13 Cousins with local ties start magazine BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com WWW.KANSAN.COM It was cousins Corban Goble and Marshall Rake's ambition to create a magazine that would combine their areas of study. While Rake's background is mostly in design, Goble's is in writing. Gobble graduated from the University of Kansas in 2008 with a degree in English and economics, and Rake grew up in Lawrence and graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. While Rake was living in Sweden, Goble came to visit, and the two developed the idea to start a magazine. Originally, their idea was to create a print magazine that primarily included short stories. However, the idea evolved into a Web magazine that instead includes interviews, artwork from various designers and selected contributed fiction. "The reality of the journalistic landscape at that point — which was winter 2008 and January 2009 when the site launched — it was just a lot easier to put the content up on a Web site," Goble said. "And went from there, been doing it for nine months now." Epilogue magazine was born. It serves those who are interested in design and content and will help readers get in touch with culture that the creators think is relevant. The magazine, which is based in New York and Los Angeles, is not opinionated or pretentious, said its creators. "We try to be a filter." Rake said. "We don't take any stances. We don't do any reviews. We only do interviews, and we only present information." Rake said the magazine's purpose was not to be offensive or exclusive, but to make readers aware of the cultural trends across the country, whether it's a band or an artist. Goble said he and Rake declared themselves best friends aside from being cousins, which helped the working process. Goble and Rake said they were constantly updating the site and were grateful to those who contributed to the magazine. "We have really good chemistry naturally, and it's kind of second nature the way we work," Goble said. "We both try to take on a little more." "We were very fortunate to have a group of friends both in Los Angeles and here in New York City and Brooklyn that are extremist of the people," Goble said.

The ingredients for the doughnuts are seen above. The recipe for Joe's doughnuts will be released on game day. Joe's Bakery was the revered place where many CONTRIBUTED PHOTO place where many students and locals would go to get fresh doughnuts and, through word of mouth, the tradition was passed through generations of KU students and Lawrence residents. After the Bakery's original owner Joe Smith died, his Ralph took over until the business closed two years ago Smith said students and the general population of Lawrence had treated him and his family well during the years. As a way to thank them, he said he's giving away the recipe as a piece of Lawrence and the bakery's history. "People seem to love Joe's Bakery" Smith said. "But you know, here's an opportunity to have a piece of, I think of history, right there as a giveaway, and they're welcome to go out and make these doughnuts." To honor the bakery his father created in 1952 as well as to promote his new business, Smith has decided to give away the doughnut recipe to anyone who shows up at the store before the KU football game on Saturday. Darwin Eakins has been a neighbor to Joe's Bakery for more than 30 years, a place he frequently visted when it was still open. "The first few years, I liked the doughnuts and at nine o'clock at night, they had the hot doughnuts, you know, that kind of thing," Eakins said. "Which is why I got a couple pounds on me." BAKERY Since the bakery closed, Eakins said he has lost about 60 pounds. Jenny Terrell/KANSAN Joe's Bakery provided Lawrence with baked goods from 1952-2007. Before the football game on Saturday, Ralph Smith, son of Joe Smith, founder of Joe's Bakery, will release Joe's Doughnut recipe.

Fritz Helbert, Topeka senior, lives in Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall and said he remembered midnight runs to Joe's Bakery with friends. He said it was a popular activity the scholarship hall students would participate in and was surprised to learn they had closed. Smith said the bakery's late-night business could have declined because of "Here's an opportunity to have a piece of, I think of history, right there as a giveaway." competition from restaurants around town that stay open well into the night and early morning. RALPH SMITH Business owner "The market changes," Smith said.

Ian Stanford, Fairway senior, said he, Huscher and one other student were involved in the construction and installation of the rain barrel. They designed the barrel, which features a flexible spout on top to collect water, a faucet on the side to dispense the water, and an overflow hose on the side. They also had to do some landscaping, which included building a brick foundation to prevent erosion and creating a trail that leads excess run-off water to the parking lot.

Edward M. Kennedy. Kennedy died last week of brain cancer at age 77. The 20-year prosecutor said she can continue to be "an effective voice for the people of Massachusetts." Cookey said at a news conference the state has had a "crisis of confidence" following Kennedy's death and she wants to pick up his mantle. "We've depended on him here in the Commonwealth and in Washington, and we will miss his strength and leadership and his sense of humor. As some have noted, no one can fill his shoes, but we must strive to follow in his footsteps," she told supporters at a downtown Boston hotel. Coakley sidestepped a question from reporters whether she favored the changing state law to allow the governor to appoint an interim senator, as Kennedy had requested in a letter before his death. Legislators hold a hearing on the matter next week. "For me, personally, I am fully focused on the race," she said, adding she trusted legislators "will make the right decision." The 56-year-old Coakley becomes the most prominent candidate to officially declare. Several others are waiting for Kennedy's nephew, former Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II to decide if he will run. Coakley said in response to a question she decided to commit to the race without waiting to see if a Kennedy family member would run because the senator had declared, in his letter seeking an interim appointment, the state needs strong and effective representation in Washington. Growing up in the Vietnam era has made her wary of President Barack Obama getting dragged into a protracted military engagement in Afghanistan, but "I trust him for now." In a follow-up interview with The Associated Press, she said: She has focused on health care cost containment as attorney general, since Massachusetts has the nation's first universal health insurance law, and is in favor of it being included any overhaul law the president signs. She also said a so-called "public option" for providing government-sponsored insurance should be considered. She dismissed as "trivolous" a Massachusetts Republican Party complaint that she used $24,000 in state campaign money to pay Washington-based consultants as she considered a federal campaign. She said all her actions have been in compliance with state and federal ethics laws. Coakley told her supporters she decided to run "because government should work well and it has to work for everyone," adding that the performance of government "has been in some ways disheartening and discouraging." Other potential Democratic candidates include U.S. Reps. Michael Capuano and Stephen Lynch. Potential Republican candidates include former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, state Sen. Scott Brown and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

Students have the Jr. Williams Fund benefits undergraduate students EDITORIAL BOARD 100 Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO The new Jr. Williams Fund is a practical, inexpensive way for interested students to earn rewards in the future for their current loyalty. Starting this year, students taking at least six credit hours can enroll in the Jr. Williams Fund for $25. Enrollment in this fund grants them 10 preferred seating points per year, for up to 40 points over four years. In addition, Jr. Williams Fund members can receive 20 points by donating at least $100 within a year of graduation and 20 points for buying season tickets all four years of their enrollment. This is a smart investment for students who know they'll want to attend games as alumni. Rewarding students for their current involvement, either by offering them points for season chance to gain a considerable head start in getting seats at Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse. It is possible to earn 80 points for about $800 dollars. Athletics has an opportunity to bring more alumni into their successful Williams Fund program. According to Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony, students will have the opportunity to learn about the fund during special Jr. Williams Fund only events, such According to documentation on the Jr. Williams Fund Web site, 10 points is equivalent to a $1,000 donation, meaning students are receiving a very sizable discount. Even more, they are receiving points for things numerous students have paid for already, such as season tickets. KANSAN'S OPINION At the same time, Kansas "We wanted to do something that would give them [students] a head start," Marchionny said. as tailgates. And having that head start, more alumni, who earned a sizable number of points as students, might be more willing to donate to the Williams Fund. And having that Kansas Athletics should be recognized for their continued fundraising prowess. They are offering students a valuable commodity and shrewdly building their donor base. At the same time, money can often be an invasive species in the ecosystem of college athletics. Though the Jr. Williams Fund does not exclude students who choose not to be involved from the game day experience, Kansas Athletics should make an effort to ensure this stays the same. The Jr. Williams Fund is a deserved reward for the diehard fan, however Kansas Athletics could also take this opportunity to bring more casual fans into the great world of Kansas football, basketball and athletics in general. The involvement of an entire student body is what makes for victories as thrilling as we've seen in past years and hopefully will witness soon again. — Alex Doherty for The Kansan Editorial Board DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE JR.

BUT WE CAN'T HIRE YOU TILL LATER. Mr. Smith NICHOLAS SAMBALUK No room for bikes on busy streets HUMOR Let me paint a little picture for you. It's a beautiful Saturday morning. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, the coffee is brewing and everything is as it should be. You fill a cup of coffee, grab your keys and head to your car. You jump in and start to head down Iowa Street toward our beloved Massachusetts Street when you hit your first roadblock of the day. A bicyclist is riding in front of you, and you cannot figure out for the life of you why. As you sit in your car, you keep asking yourself why the bicyclist is in the middle of the street instead of the sidewalk where bicyclists should be — when all of a sudden you spill your coffee. To make matters worse, it looks as if the incredible mass of the Lance Armstrong allegiance has turned in front of you while you're stuck at a stoplight. Traffic is WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS BRETT PHILLIPPE Now it looks as if you pissed yourself. grounded to a haul for the next 25 minutes. You grow frantic and start to throw things while yelling at the radio. Your once-perfect morning has now turned into what a severely obese yellow cat likes to call "the Mondays." Now, I know what you're thinking: This is a severe exaggeration and a waste of space to tell a long tall tale and get nothing done. In one sense you are right; this is a severe exaggeration. But I tell you this exaggeration to convey a specific point. Nothing grinds my gears as much as the bikers in this town who ride in the middle of the street, especially when there is a sidewalk or bike lane nearby. I can tolerate those riding their bikes on Jayhawk Boulevard, those on Massachusetts Street and even the ones on the back roads. But it really gets at me when bikers are on Iowa Street, one of the busiest streets in Lawrence. This is an annoyance to me and many other drivers in the community, especially when it slows down traffic. Where there are designated bike lanes, bikers should stay out of car lanes. When I have to go to class, work or a movie, a slow biker can really put a rain cloud over my day. My message to the bikers is simply this: Stay in the bike lane or on the sidewalk and think of others. It really grinds everyone's gears to be late for prior engagements they cannot be late for.

Certain elements of it are taboo in elements of it are taboo in our society, and yet it is an absolute necessity for the propagation of our civilization. Within the complexity of sexuality in general, the mystery of homosexuality remains controversial and misunderstood. The scientific research of homosexuality is scattered and difficult to interpret, but it weaves a picture that allows us to place homosexuality in a natural and biological context. Many more find the dichotomous distinction of heterosexuality and homosexuality arbitrary and oversimplifying, as most research demonstrates that sexual orientation itself exists as a spectrum. Homosexuality is an extraordinarily problematic phenomenon to research. It extends to many disciplines, including genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology and even evolutionary biology. Many scientists may have different definitions of homosexuality, making comparing research across fields very difficult. Many studies in fruit flies have clearly shown that sexual behavior is tightly connected to genetics, and it remains very likely that human sexuality is a function of the interactions of many genes. The genetic model as the basis for homosexuality is still in its infancy. There is almost certainly no single gene that creates the straight or gay sexual orientation; it is more likely a huge assortment of genes, potentially expressed at different times and levels, that creates the complex structure of homosexuality. The environment of the womb for the growing child may also play a role in shaping sexual behavior. Scientists have shown that with each male child a mother has, the newborn male has a greater chance of being gay. In simple terms, the mother develops an immunologic resistance to the male child, which may alter its neurological SAI THE SCIENCE GUY SAI FOLMSBEE MSBEE development and sexual orientation. In many ways, homosexuality may be ultimately determined before birth. But homosexuality in humans needs to be placed into the context of all life on the planet. In general, the brains of homosexual men tended to more closely fit the female anatomic model. Whether this is a result of genetic predisposition or plasticity over experience has yet to be determined. The brains of heterosexuals and homosexuals differ substantially. Certain clusters of specialized neurons show relatively consistent differences between those of straight men and those of gay men. A recent review of the scientific literature has shown that nearly every animal species on earth has been observed demonstrating homosexual behavior. Some albatrosses nest as two females because of shortages of males, and many social species, such as dolphins, demonstrate same-sex behavior as a form of bonding. Many scientists argue that the homosexuality displayed in these animals helps improve the survival of the species as a whole. Humans are not alone in displaying diverse sexual behaviors. The science of homosexuality is broad, complex and constantly evolving. But science cannot give an answer to the moral question of homosexuality. Science can inform these judgments, but these scientific findings cannot dictate moral decisions. By continuing to inquire into the nature of our homosexuality, we can learn to better understand the sexuality of ourselves and others. Folmsbee is a Topeka senior in neurobiology. New beer can design makes little difference LETTER TO THE EDITOR The University has asked Anheuser-Busch not to involve them with the project because it promotes underage drinking. This makes no sense. This isn't an attempt by the University to help with the underage drinking problem, but an attempt to show their rich, stuck-up alumni that they're trying to do something about it. Anheuser-Busch recently released a new style of Bud Light cans featuring the colors of 27 schools across the nation. The University of Kansas was chosen, and now thousands of cans are being lined with crimson and blue as part of this "Fan Cans" series. Underage drinkers at this University do not need some flashy and exciting Bud Light can as a reason to start drinking. If they want to drink, they'll drink. It's been mentioned that this situation has comparisons to Joe College on Massachusetts Street. It's exactly the same. The University doesn't actually care about the inappropriate, immature and often vulgar T-shirts sold by the store, but rather trying to show those same rich, stuck-up alumni that they are making at least an attempt to remain a decent and well-mannered University. I can guarantee you that many members of the administration will be buying those crimson and blue Bud Light cans this Saturday when they are tailgating before the football game. They could care less about the results of their requests to Joe College and Anheuser-Busch. They just care about looking good in the eyes of the alumni. Andrew Doughty is a junior from St. Paul, Minn. Editor's Note: The Athletics Department, not the University, has requested the promotion to be canceled.

The spectators may credit skill. The rowers may simply call it a "good day." The trained eye knows that comfort lies with a familiar face on the boat. Synchronization is the foundation to success in rowing. A standard race amounts to a lengthy 2,000 meters. A rower's stroke rate approximates to 38-40 strokes per minute at the start of a race, descends to 28-34 in the middle of the race and can then swiftly accelerate to 42 strokes-per-minute to cap it all off. If an entire boat of eight rowers can gracefully glide as one, the result is a punishing tempo. To regulate this tempo stems from a tool mastered with time: experience. "The whole team is more experienced than we have been in the last three or four years," coach Rob Catloth said. It is this widespread experience that presents Catloth with a good problem to have. How will he pick the first varsity eight to represent the team? "Competitiveness, determina t Follow writer Maxs Rothman at twitter.com/ maxrothman. tion and hard work — these are the things that get anyone a spot," Catlloth said. Following the essentials are the intangibles. After 1,800 meters of pounding muscles all across your body, who can reach down into the depths and find that extra burst when you need it most? "Everyone wants to be on that first boat," senior Stacy Rachow said. "You have to come out and give it your all." If one rower isn't keeping her pace with the rest, several other worthy suitors will be waiting. "It's not like anyone is thinking, 'That's how it's going to be for the rest of the year,'" Rachow said. "Competition will keep the first boat the best." Catloth said that depth is a dangerous weapon for this year's team. "We have a good, strong group of women that will be vying for that first and second eight," he said. the fiery desire to creep into the cream stirred with years of rowing experience has translated into practices that are far more productive than they used to be. What was once reviewing technicalities has turned into pushing for more meters every day. In adding the help of Catloth and his cronies, such as new assistant coach George Jenkins, to the concoction, the team looks poised for triumph. "[Jenkins] is going to be a real benefit for our team, bringing different ideas and vocabulary and different ways to get better," Rachow said. Catloth believes that this year he will find the components of a true team to beat. "Rowing is a team sport, not an individual sport," he said. "It's about finding twenty fast rowers." As the blades of eights oars hover over mysterious waters, sometimes knowing that your team is with you for the ride is that scarce something. "When you depend on each other every practice, there's no doubt in your mind that everyone else is giving it their all," Rachow said. Edited by Megan Morriss KANSAS KANSAS KANSAN FILE PHOTO This year's KU rowing team is more experienced that in the past, leading coach Rob Cattoth with a tougher-than-usual time picking the variety squad. The depth on the team leaves more time to focus on increasing speed and synchronization. MLB Former Red Sox pitcher won't rule out run for Senate Curt Schilling may campaign for Kennedy's seat BY GLEN JOHNSON Associated Press BOSTON — Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said Thursday the chances of him running to replace Democrat Edward M. Kennedy in the U.S. Senate are "slim to none" but he will not rule it out. The three-time World Series champion said he retired from baseball in March to spare his family the downside of the public spotlight. He has also invested millions in his fledgling videogaming business, 38 Studios. Yet the 42-year-old told a Boston radio station that Massachusetts is in "desperate" need of fresh political blood. "This state, next to Illinois, is probably looked on as one of the very hard to pick up the pieces most corrupt, laughable politi of debris and start to reform and cal scenes in the nation, and it should be just the opposite," he said during one of his regular appearances on WEEIAM, a sports radio station. "I think there's so much broke here, that the Penguins have "The chances of it happening are slim to none, but they ran with it I've been thinking about it', so it's gone nuts." CURT SCHILLING Former Red Sox pitcher don't think you'd have to look fix it. While Schilling has never run for or held political office, he said it was an asset because he was unencumbered by special interest connections. "My credentials are that I have no baggage." he said. The typically blunt Schilling also wasn't afraid of speaking in a politically incorrect manner. "The person that works 9-to-5 for crap dollars gets spat on, and it's becoming a state that's next to impossible to live and prosper in, and I think it was anything but when it was founded," he said at one point. At another, he proclaimed, "The status quo sucks. The status quo is not working. Kennedy died last week of brain cancer at age 77. A primary is scheduled for Dec.8 and the general election will be Jan.19. Schilling has campaigned for Republicans but would have to run as an independent because his voter status is "unenrolled." He said he would have to make a decision "in relatively short order" but gave no specific deadline. And he expressed surprise at the reaction after he told a cable television reporter he was considering a campaign. "The chances of it happening are slim to none, but they ran with 'I've been thinking about it,' so it's gone nuts," he said. ROOMMATES hogging your food?

Kansas will host the Jayhawk Invitational this weekend together three teams at the Hoshiji Family Athletics Center. KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 13 KANSAS 9 BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team will host the Jayhawk Invitational this weekend at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas will face Lipscomb (2-1) at noon and Florida International (2-1) at 7 p.m. on Friday and then face Creighton (2-1) at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Kansas is coming off of a 2-1 finish last weekend at the Middle Tennessee State, Tournament. They defeated Xavier and Murray State University but lost to Middle Tennessee State University. "We didn't let our one loss affect us into the next day, and I think we can take that into this weekend," freshman middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said. Tolefree said that she was nervous in her first weekend of matches, but that they taught her to be prepared and to focus on the game plan. "I'm ready to go in at any moment whenever they need me and no matter what the score is." Tolefree said. Kansas will need to be ready because all three teams placed in the top two of their respected divisions last year. Florida International went to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament and is returning six starters from last year. "If you overlook any of these teams this weekend, you're going to be in trouble," coach Ray Bechard said. "It'll be one of the stronger fields we've had." Bechard said the main goal was a first place finish, but he also wants the team to improve by playing tougher competition and to prepare for the strong Big 12 Conference [ ] Follow Kansan volleyball writer Zach Getz at twitter/zqetz competition. "The goal is to win our tournament, and we will probably have to beat all three to do that," Bechard said. "The main focus is to be in a better place statistically and execution-wise than you were before." Bechard said the team showed improvement in areas that the team has been working on such as passing and serving efficiency, but the team still needs to work on blocking Senior middle blocker Brittany Williams said she knows she needs to tighten up her game if the team is going to do well. and digging. "I think my hitting errors equaled the number of kills I had," Williams said. "So basically I hit 0 percent." Williams said she felt her high energy level helped the team over the weekend and said what many of her teammates have been saying, that the team has been really close this season and have been playing hard for each other. - Edited by Jonathan Hermes CROSS COUNTRY Runners to start season with mark of confidence BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON comma.com sanderson@kansan.com The cross country team will be starting its season with a home meet, the Bob Timmons Classic at Rim Rock Farm, on Saturday. "It's the first meet of the season to just get our feet back under us and to get in the mentality of racing again," junior Nick Caprario said. "We're trying to athe team, what kind of shape people are in and what times are different." This meet will signal what the season could be like. "There's going to be some people who are really going to step up because it's going to be a competition and not a workout," Michael Whittlesey, assistant coach, said. "And I'm very excited to see who those athletes are, and it is really going to give us a good indication of where we need to work on with our team." The women's team, however, will be starting without two of its top runners, senior Lauren Bonds and junior Amanda Miller. The absence of these two runners will give some of the other athletes time for people to become someone who can push the team," sophomore Kara Windisch said. "The freshmen, sophomores and juniors need to start pushing a little to step up and show what they can do and keep the team going, because Bonds won't be here next year and we are going to need someone to take her spot and move the team along." Sitting Bonds and Miller out during this first meet could strengthen the team for the rest of the season. "Hopefully they gain a lot of experience and gain a lot of confidence to be able to handle that pressure, because how well we compete as a team later on in the year is dependent on the strength of our three through eight runners." Whittlesey said. The women are very confident in their training and their ability so far this season. "It's the first meet of the season to just get our feet back under us and to get in the mentality of racing again." the opportunity to try to gain more leadership on the team. "Everyone should be a leader, and I think that this is a great "We've done packing running, KANSAS 248 Diane KANSAN FILE PHOTO where we set a time that we need to hit and maintain, and that's been seeming to work," Windisch said. "I think that we are going to be ready for this race." "It's always great to run at home; we only get one meet a year. It's nice to have some people come out and support us." The fact that it is a home meet also gives the Jayhawk runners a little more confidence. Sophomore Kara Windisch sprints to the finish line for a fourth place finish in the women's 5k last season. The cross country team will have its first meet of the season at Rim Rock Farm on Saturday. Caprio said "We're going to have a little bit of an advantage" The runners hope to make the best of that advantage and start their season off right. "I think the home meet — we have to live up to the expectations that this is our home meet," Windisch said. "We're going to go out there and show them that this is our turf and we are here to win on our Jayhawk course." — Edited by Samantha Foster KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing SALE announcements : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We take only what the defense gives us." Kansas' offense, especially at the wide receiver position, is based around two things: chemistry between the offensive parts and developing an understanding of opposing defenses' tendencies. Grasping those points, Fields said, comes with experience. On Kansas' first offensive play in the Insight Bowl against Minnesota last season, Briscoe noticed a hole in Minnesota's defense, released from his original route and opted to run deep down the left sideline. Reesing noticed, too, and delivered a 60-vard touchdown pass. "That was a designed play, but Beginning in the spring, Meier said Kansas' offense instantly started clicking, despite Briscoe's absence from spring practices for disciplinary reasons. he adjusted to it on the run, "Fields said. "He has the option to do that." Now that the entire unit is intact, Kansas possesses the most experienced offense in the Big 12 North. While only two players return along the offensive line, the Jayhawks return their top three receivers, along with Reesing and senior Jake Sharp, who rushed for 860 yards last season. "We're always adding wrinkles to our offense and defense," coach Mark Mangino said. "We are always going to expand our package. And with veteran players, we'll ask them to do more than they've done in With so many proven playmakers, Kansas' offense creates a dilemma for defenses: Who, exactly, does an opposing team try to stop? the past." If a defense favors stopping Briscoe's, deep-threat ability, they risk leaving their underbelly exposed for Meier to slowly gain chunks of yards. And if a defense focuses too much on the pass in general, Kansas possesses a capable run game. "If defenses switch their coverage and try to stop me, hey, we've got Kerry on this side or John Wilson on this side," Briscoe said. "Or we can just give to Jake Sharp or Rell Lewis. We just have a lot of weapons." — Edited by Lauren Cunningham SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 10A) The Jayhawks will be without senior forward Shannon McCabe, who was walking gingerly after practice with ice on her left knee. But Francis thinks his team is more than capable of adjusting to playing different positions as they did Sunday against Arizona State. "The travel part of it wears you out," Francis said. For the first time this season, the Jayhawks will be playing at home, which Francis feels is a definite plus. He cites last week's trip to Knoxville, Tenn., as an example of why playing at home matters so much. The team left Thursday morning at 7:15 a.m. and arrived in Knoxville at 6 p.m. Senior forward Kim Boyer said she thought playing on their home surface in front of the home crowd is a huge advantage. Another factor that may be especially important this weekend is the distance Long Beach State and rhode Island, Kansas' opponent on Sunday, have to travel to get to Lawrence. Both teams will deal with changes in time zones. Even with all these factors considered, Boyer said winning matches really comes down to one thing. "I think the key is just scoring goals," Boyer said.

Associated Press CHICAGO — Rookie Carlos Torres threw seven crisp innings, Dewayne Wise made a great throw to cut down a runner at the plate and the White Sox beat the Cubs 5-0 Thursday in a makeup game between two city rivals whose seasons have gown awry. BY RICK GANO Torres (1-0), recalled from the minors two days ago, earned his first major league win in his third career start. He allowed five hits, walked none and struck out six. Wise, whose highlight-reel catch preserved Mark Buehrle's perfect game back in July, made a strong throw from right field to preserve a 1-0 White Sox lead in the seventh. Jake Fox tried to score from second on Jeff Baker's single but Wise delivered the ball to A.J. Pierzynski, who was able to tag the sliding Fox for the second out. Baker took second on the play, but Torres fanned Koyie Hill to end the threat. Soriano had a cortisone injection in his sore left knee Sunday and had missed three games earlier in the week. After his miscue, what appeared to be a T-shirt came flying out of the left-field bleachers. Soriano also was booed loudly when he struck out to end the game. The White Sox added two in the eighth, taking advantage of a key Cubs error. Gordon Beckham scored from first when left fielder Alfonso Soriano missed Pierzynski's fly. Paul Konerko followed with an RBI single to make it 3-0 and chase Ryan Dempster (8-8). The makeup of a June 16 rainout featured two defending division champs whose playoff hopes have faded greatly. It was the latest makeup for an interleague game since Kansas City played Arizona on Sept. 4. 2003. The Cubs entered six games out of the NL wild card with four teams in front of them. They remained $10\frac{1}{2}$ games back of the Central-leading Cardinals, who lost 4-3 to the Brewers. After a disastrous road trip, the White Sox returned to town in third, seven games back of the Tigers in the AL Central. "I never thought we were going to collapse in two weeks the way that we did because if you look at the lineup every day it's a pretty good lineup." White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. Chris Getz singled with two outs in the second and went to second when Fox — subbing at first base for Derek Lee — dropped a pickoff attempt from Dempster for an error. Alexei Ramirez then delivered an RBI single into left field. Looking like a team that went 2-8 on a 10-game trip to Boston, New York and Minnesota, the White Sox ran themselves out of a potential big inning in the first. Leadoff hitter Scott Podsednik drove a ball into the right-center that would have been a triple, but the ball got lost in the ivy and became a ground-rule double. Beckham then hit a comebaker to Dempster and Podsednik got caught between second and third. Dempster threw to third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who ran Podsednik back to second and tagged him. Beckham, who took off for second, was tagged out by second baseman Baker in a rundown to complete the double play. Cubs HR and RBI leader Lee was scratched, missing the game to be with his wife, who gave birth to their second child early Thursday morning. The White Sox lead the overall series that began in 1997, 37-35. airplane STUDY ABROAD FAIR 100 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM 4th floor lobby of the Kansas Union SEPTEMBER 9,2009 WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

Jayson Jenks MLB McGehee leads Cardinals to win ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Rookie Casey McGehee wasn't about to be fooled twice by John Smoltz. After looking at a called third strike he time up, the streaking McGehee hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Smoltz and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep. "He abused me pretty bad on breaking balls," McGehee said of his first-inning at-bat. "He finally got one up enough to where I could get a hold of it." McGhee homered in the sixth to break a 2-all tie, connecting right after the Cardinals failed to turn an inning-ending double play. "The three guys in front of me who are getting on base are the ones getting it done" he said. "A guy like Prince (Fielder), you don't even want to mess with, so I'm getting good pitches to hit." The shot capped off an amazing series for McGehee, who drove in nine of his teams' 13 runs during the three-game set. McGehee, a Chicago Cubs castoff, was 5 for 11 at Busch Stadium with two homers in a 72-hour span. Manny Parra settled down after a slow start and pitched into the seventh inning for Milwaukee, which has won four of six. Smoltz struck out Ryan Braun, then got Fielder to ground into a potential inning-ending double play. But second baseman Julio Lugo jugged the ball momentarily and could only throw out Fielder as the tying run scored. Trevor Hoffman closed for his 30th save, striking out Albert Pujols with a runner on base to end the game. Hoffman, the career saves leader, reached the 30 mark for the 14th time. The Cardinals took a 2-1 lead into the sixth, but Craig Counsell led off with a double and took third on an infield single by Frank Catalotto. Matt Holliday, who had three hits, brought the Cardinals to 4-3 with a leadoff homer in the eighth. It was his 10th as a Cardinal and 21st overall. He singled earlier in the game for his 1,000th career hit. McGehee followed with a go-ahead drive just inside the left-field foul pole for his 13th homer of the season. He also drove in the Brewers' first run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. St. Louis loaded the bases with one out in the seventh. Reliever Mitch Stetter struck out Khalil Greene looking and Claudio Vargas got Pujols to ground out on a 3-2 pitch. Pinch-hitter 'Colby Rasmus walked later in the eighth, but was picked off by Vargas. Hoffman worked around Lugo's one-out bunt single with one out in the ninth. --- SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 9A maz- who 's 13 game Cubs usch in a QUOTE OF THE DAY down cled ; for four nt of e are said. , you h, so hit." with in 89 - Lou Holtz "I don't mind starting the season with unknowns.

Stephen Montemayor MORNING BREW Channel surfers miss history In an effort to entertain ourselves, we recklessly try to find the first appealing event to occupy, if not waste, our time. In hindsight, the events you turn down could be the happening of a lifetime. When we see certain sports on the television guide, we think of the sport rather than those involved. The channel is passed, as is a potentially crucial moment in history. For example, most people have the same thought when it comes to watching golf: lame. In contrast, we all think of Tiger Woods as one of the greatest golfers ever, if not the greatest ever. This can be said of many sports. Tennis has Roger Federer and the Williams sisters, swimming with Michael Phelps and sprinting has Usain Bolt. Those athletes are arguably the best of all time at what they do. They all have broken records thought to be impossible to break. They do it with class (for the most part) and are genuine humans. So why aren't BY COREY THIBODEAUX sthibodeau@kagaz.com we all watching them? Everyone has an excuse. Golf is boring. Tennis is drawn out way too long. But for anyone who wants to see greatness unfold (that's what sports are for, right?), it's time to start tuning into these guys and gals. These are once in a generation or perhaps once in a lifetime athletes. It would be a shame to not be a witness just because of what sport they play. cos or Mario Chalmers' game-tying three-pointer against Memphis. Keep in mind this was golf I was watching. And no, watching highlights doesn't do the experience justice. I had the same views of golf as anyone else. I've never played nor did I enjoy watching. But I was bold enough to watch the 2008 U.S. Open. When Tiger won, it gave me chills on par with Dante Hall's joy-stick kick return against the Bron- Anyone who has achieved some sort of legendary status as these athletes have is worth admiring. You could learn a thing or two beyond sports. Roger Federer is trying to extend his record of 15 Grand Slam titles. But that isn't why I admire him. Just look at how Federer dresses and carries himself on the court. He is the epitome of class. I have even based some of my wardrobe on his fashion. He used to be a hot head but is now the calmest cucumber to carry a racquet. Currently, the U.S. Open of tennis is in its early stages. Venus and Serena Williams dominate on their home court. These are not fictional characters acting in accordance to a script. These are human beings who have transcended mediocrity and THE MORNING BREW should be looked upon as heroes of our time. Throw out all the faults of Phelps and Bolt. What they are doing is simply amazing. We can't miss these moments then regret doing so in the future. We have them here now. Now is the time to watch.

Rumford, the 2007 champion, was a stroke ahead of Simon Dyson, the Dutch Open winner two weeks ago who had a 63. At 65 were Miguel Angel Jimenez, Andres Romero, Christian Nilsson, Thongchai Jaidee, Alexander Noren and Danny Willett.

FALLSTROM Associated Press LIONS Illinois quarterback Juice Williams scrambles during an NCAA college football game against Western Michigan in Detroit. The Illini will play Missouri Saturday. ST. LOUIS — For a change, it's Illinois bringing all the star power to the neutral-site opener against Missouri. For the first time in a long while, it's the Tigers who are untested and unappreciated. ASSOCIATED PRESS Illini quarterback juice Williams passed for more than 450 yards and five touchdowns in a losing cause against Missouri last year, among three stadium yardage records he 'set. He's unquestionably the marque name heading into Saturday's $ \sigma $ -called Arch Rivalry, one of eight returning starters on offense that makes the Illini close to a touchdown favorite to end a four-game losing streak in the series. Missouri is starting over, in a sense, coming off a 10-4 record and heading into coach Gary Pinkel's ninth season. Virtually all the headliners are gone from teams that combined for 22 victories, two bowl triumphs and a brief stay at No. 1 during the heyday of a high-flying spread offense featuring quarterback Chase Daniel and receiver Jeremy Macin. Maclin and defensive tackle Ziggy Hood gave Missouri two first-round NFL draft picks for the first time since 1977, safety William Moore was a second-rounder and tight end Chase Coffman was taken in the third round. Besides losing their nucleus, the Tigers had to replace both coordinators, an offshoot of all that success. Yet Pinkel is confident he'll field a team that can compete for a third straight Big 12 North title, rather than the third-place finish that's been forecast. Daniel's replacement is sophomore Blaine Gabbert, who'll make his first career college start in his hometown. Missouri is likely to use junior tailback Derrick Washington to ease Gabbert's load at least early in the season. CRIME Pinkel said. "Youth or lack of experience to me is absolutely insignificant." "We have high expectations and we want to play the best we can."

THE WAVE | 23 FOOTBALL Jayhawks hope to make KU history PAGE 10A BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com People said that the day when Kanasas Football would be good or even ranked in the top 25,would be the day when pigs fly. Follow Kansan writer Nicolas Roesler at twitter. com/nroesler8. THE KEY TO A GOOD OFFENSE Well, swine flu. Okay so that joke may be a little bit hackneyed this year, but hey, did you really expect KU Football to be this good when you submitted your application for admission? I know I didn't. The welcome surprises began in the 2007-2008 season when the Jayhawks made it to the Orange Bowl. Then we actually won it. A nation of football fans actually perked up to what we call Kansas Football. I loathe putting my name in the same sentence as the words fair-weather fan, but I admit, as many of you probably will as well, that I may have loved Kansas Football, but I was never as excited about it as I was during that season. "I never expected us to go to a BCS bowl game, let alone win one." said Patrick Salsbury, Rossville, Kan., junior. These sentiments could be seen not only on our campus, but across the country. Who were these Jayhawks that went 11-1 and were ranked eighth in the country going into the Orange Bowl? Well, they were what none of us were expecting, pigs that knew how to fly. Then in 2008-2009 season, the Jayhawks impressed us again. Although the much more arduous season did more damage to our record, we still made it to a legitimate bowl game and won, giving the jayhawks an 8-5 record for the year. This successful, yet bumpy, season confirmed a thought that had been in the back of our minds: We have one of the best quarterbacks in the country. This revelation is, maybe not biblical, but historical, because he is maybe the best quarterback we have seen since John Hald, who is now in the Kansas Jayhawk Hall of Fame and has his No. 21 jersey retired. Edited by Jonathan Hermes "I expect KU to win the Big XII North and hope they make it to a BCS Bowl Game," said Salsbury on this upcoming season, which starts with Northern Colorado on Saturday. And one more eye-opening thing that will happen this season, a match up that I thought I'd never see: Kansas vs. Duke in week three of this season. From now on I'm keeping my eyes to the skies to see if anything other than pigs is going to start flying (maybe Jayhawks). "History Awaits" is the slogan for this season of Kansas Football, and I say, if you can make more of the unbelievable true, then bring on more pigs with wings. The Jayhawks have made believers out of the doubters, and instead of the fans expecting to be surprised, now they expect greatness. t LEESING 79 5 KU Senior quarterback Todd Reesing looks for a teammate to pass to during last month's media day at the Anderson Family Football Complex. This year's offense, composed primarily of returning players, could prove to be the best in school history and will give the an extra threat. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Proven playmakers lead offense Returning players can provide a strong backbone to team BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com During the first days of practice in early August, when time is usually spent trying to shed rust, senior quarterback Todd Reesing was perfect. Playing in seven-on-seven games, senior wide receiver Kerry Meier said Reesing completed 50 consecutive passes. Yes, 50. Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/jjenks. They were only scrimmages - and not even full ones at the but Reesing's efficient start illustrates a bigger picture for Kansas' offense: With so many players returning at key positions, could this be the best offense ever assembled in Lawrence? "If you look at us on paper, we have the potential to be very good." Meier said. "But at the same time we can be nothing. We have to want to go out and prove that we can be the most dominant offense that Kansas has ever seen. That's something that drives us and makes us want to be better." And there are plenty of reasons for optimism. Reeing is Kansas' all-time leader in passing yards — and he still has an entire Meier is Kansas' single-season leader in receptions, and junior receiver Dezmon Briscoe hauled season to play.

Still, Kansas' offense is usually overshadowed by the likes of Oklahoma, Texas and, recently, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. But, more than any season in recent memory, the Jayhawks return a large number of experienced and well-known playmakers. For Fields, that's an intangible ingredient for success with Kansas' schemes.

Jackson thinks another factor in the stellar start is the better communication between the back line and freshman goalie Kat Liebetrau, who entered the season not being vocal enough. "You can definitely tell she has more confidence," Jackson said. "She's definitely stepped up and talked a lot more." Coach Mark Francis thinks there is yet another factor. "Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with heart," Francis said about the undefeated start to the season. "I think this team, just compared to some teams we've had in more recent years, they just have a lot of heart." Francis said he saw a lot of passion in the team's two games in the Lady Vol Invite. "I told the players that was a good sign for us down the road because if you have heart, you're going to win a lot more often than just having talent," Francis said.

LSS LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COLUMN 3 86 83 10 23 33 97 BOWDEN 97 Kansas' attitude determines its altitude I'll never forget the Kansas football game on Nov. 3,2001. It was my first time getting to see the mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers play in person. The Cornhuskers came into Lawrence ranked No.2 in the nation while the Jay Hawks were on their way to a 3-8 record. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor After a slow start, the Nebraska option attack ran all over the Kansas defense and finished with nearly 300 rushing yards. The result was a 51-7 loss for the Jayhawks. I'm an optimist, but I knew Kansas didn't have a chance that night. For me, the most exciting part of the night was hearing that the Arizona Diamond-backs had just routed the New York Yankees to force Game 7 in the World Series. The football game's outcome was far too predictable. A lot of things changed in those six years. Mark Mangino was hired in December 2001 and the program began to take on a new identity. Sure, Mangino and his staff brought new That game is why I was so stunned when Kansas scored 10 touchdowns and beat Nebraska 76-39 just two seasons ago. Exactly six years to the day after I had seen Kansas face a seemingly invincible Nebraska squard, the Jayhawks were on the other side of the blowout. Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks were on their way to No.2 in the polls and Nebraska's defense had no answer for the Kansas passing attack. offensive schemes and philosophies to the program, but they also brought something that can't be found in any playbook. They brought a new attitude that Kansas football had been lacking. The coaches believed in the team and the team believed in its potential. Kansas faced a tougher schedule last year but still won a second straight bowl game, a first for the program, to finish 7-5 on the year. But the success didn't come right away. Kansas struggled at the start of Mangino's tenure before breaking through with a bowl win in 2005. The team then lost several winnable games in 2006 and did not make a bowl. Fans hoped for something better in 2007, but no one predicted an Orange Bowl win. The team caught the nation by surprise and won its first 11 games before falling to Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium. The difference is not just with the team or the coaches, but also with the fans. Like other fans, I think the Jayhawks now have a real chance to win every time they take the field, no matter who the opponent is. That's an exciting thought. I've seen a lot of home games at the University, but the 2007 Nebraska game stands out. Kansas football had arrived and everyone knew it. The football program has had two great years in a row. The team has goals this season of making another bowl game and winning the Big 12 North, and the Nov. 14 game against Nebraska will play a big part in the division race. For me, the success of this season won't depend on the outcome of the Nebraska game or even if the Jayhawks make a third consecutive bowl appearance. With the program's new attitude, there is no limit on how far Kansas can go this year. An excitement that was not seen for decades surrounds the program and anticipation has never been higher for the Jayhawks. But no matter what happens, the team is confident in its chances. And that is the real success. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Wide receive Marcus Henry blocks a kick in the 2002 Orange Game bowl in Miami Gardens, Fla. The Jayhawks defeated Virginia Tech 24-21.

This was the first season played in Memorial Stadium. GET TO KNOW YOUR GAME DAY Traditions are a big part of game day on the hill.Learn some of the rituals associated with KU football and its long history. By Brenna Hawley bhawley@kansan.com Whether it is the first football game for a new freshman or the 50th season for a hardened fan, the traditions surrounding KU football make fans feel like a part of the University. From buildings to cheers to songs Curtis Marsh, program director for KU Info, and Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, explain some of the University's most beloved traditions. Memorial Stadium The stadium is the home to all things football. The current stadium was built in 1921 as a memorial to World War I and is now the seventh-oldest stadium in the nation. John Wooden, famed UCLA basketball coach, stopped in Lawrence during construction and helped Phog Allen build the stadium. It started with stands on both sides of the field and no bowl. Since then, it has gotten major facelifts, including a press box, updated seating on all sides of the field and an artificial playing surface. Ring of Honor Adorning the inside of Memorial Stadium are the names of a distinct group of Kansas football players called the Ring of Honor, Members of the K Club, the letter-winner association at the University, nominate football players to have their names painted along with the likes of Gale Sayers, John Hadl and the most recent addition, John Riggins. The players then go through an approval process, ending with approval from Athletic Director Lew Perkins. Fans at games can see the names from all over the stadium and cameras often zoom in on them. "I think history is such an important part of college football and the names on the ring of honor tie today's fans to the history of Kansas football," Marchiony says. "Kansas fans get a very special feeling when they look at that board." Ring of Honor Photo by Adam Buhler/KANSAN The Ring of Honor recognizes players who have had an outstanding football career at the University and beyond. John Riggins was the most recent addition to the Ring. Photo by Adam Buhler/KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 5 Potter Lake This man-made lake is the first feature of what is now the game day area. Built in 1911, the lake was originally meant to be a water reservoir in case any campus buildings caught on fire. Students would swim and even canoe in the lake, but early on there were problems with runoff from campus into the lake. In 1924, campus authorities shut down the lake to recreational activities due to safety concerns. Now student groups are working to clean up the lake, which was once much larger than its current size, to make it as beautiful as it once was, for students as well as tailgaters. "It adds to the atmosphere," Marsh says. "People who are tail-gating before the game get to do it in a beautiful setting." Lyrics to "I'm a Jayhawk" Talk about the Sooners The Cowboys and the Buffs. Talk about the Tiger and his talk, Talk about the Wildcats, and those Cornhuskin boys, But I'm the bird to make 'im weep and wail. CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk. Up at Lawrence on the Kaw 'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk. With a six-boom, hip hoorah. Got a bill that's big enough To twist the Tiger's tail Husk some corn and laden To the Cornhusker's wall! 'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk. Riding on a Kansas gale. www.ku.edu "I'm a Jayhawk" Kansas 'fight song "I'm a Jayhawk" was first heard in 1912 as part of a musical show written by George "Dumpy" Bowles. In 1926, the University's glee club made the song more popular, and now it can be heard throughout football games with fans clapping along. Marsh says the clap has changed throughout the years, moving from clapping off-beat to on the beat and that fewer people know the words now. "The words are part of the reason it's our fight song," he says. To learn the correct clap sequence, go to the KU Info site at http://bit.ly/ImaJayhawkclap. Waving the Wheat This tradition, which happens after any successful scoring drives at football games, has unknown origins, says Marsh. He says at least six people have tried to find out when waving the wheat started, but nothing definitive has been found. He says there are pictures as early as the 1920s with people waving the wheat, but that's the earliest evidence seen. Even Max Falkenstein, who started announcing games at the University in 1946, doesn't remember when it started. Despite the mystery surrounding the tradition, Marsh says it still has mass appeal. "It's visually pretty stunning when 50,000 or 60,000 people are doing the same thing," he says. Campanile The Campanile towers over game days at the top of Mount Oread. The tower was built in 1950 and dedicated in 1951 as a memorial to students, faculty and staff who died in WWII. Two-hundred-seventy-seven names cover the inside of the room at the bottom of the tower, which is 120 feet tall and houses 53 bells. Marsh says that in a study conducted a few years ago of KU alumni, the Campanile was one of their top five favorite traditions. Campanile KANSAN FILE PHOTO The Campanile towers over Memorial Stadium near the top of Mount Oread. Built as a WWI memorial, the Campanile can be seen by people all over campus. Potter Lake Tailgating recipes It's game day and you're going to tailgate. That much is clear. The question is what are you going to go with? Sure, you can fire up the grill and slap on a few brats or burgers. There's something to be said about simplicity. So consider the recipes below (one for the morning after) and, who knows, you might just impress that girl 20 feet away nursing her drink alone. Either way, at least you and your friends will have something better than shriveled franks. University Archives/ SPENCE RESEARCH LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF KANSA People swim in Potter Lake in this 1920s photo of the man-made water feature. The lake was built in 1911, but by 1924 swimming was prohibited because of safety issues. But you'll likely be doing this a few more times this season and simplicity can become monotony quicker than a Jake Sharp touch-down dash. Honey Mustard Chicken Drumsticks Start to finish: 45 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 4 4 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons coarse-grain mustard 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed Manchego Cheese and Garlic Dogs In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, oil, curry powder, salt and pepper. Using a brush, coat the drumsticks completely with the honey-mustard glaze. Arrange the chicken pieces on the prepared rack. Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil, Coat a wire rack with cooking spray, then set it on top of the baking sheet. Bake, basting occasionally, until the chicken is golden on the outside and an instant read thermometer registers 165 F when inserted at the center, about 30 to 35 minutes. Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours Servings: 6 2 heads garlic, top 1/2 inch cut off 5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1/2 cup diced jarred roasted red peppers 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste 6 grilled all-beef hot dogs 6 grilled hot dog buns or other bread or rolls 1/2 cup grated manchego cheese Sherry wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar Heat the oven to 400 F. Place each head of garlic, cut side up, on a square of foil. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of oil, then wrap the foil up around the garlic. Place packets on the oven rack and roast until garlic is tender, about 45 minutes. Open packets and cool for 15 minutes. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl. Mash enough roasted garlic to measure 1/4 cup (reserve remaining garlic for another use). In a small bowl, mix the garlic with the remaining 3 teaspoons of oil, the red peppers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. "It adds a tremendous amount of spirit to the pregame," he says. "I think everyone in the stadium's eyes are fixed on that board just because it is very similar to the one in Allen Fieldhouse. It's a video that gets people excited and gets the team excited." Arrange the hot dogs in the buns, then top each with the garlic relish, the cheese and a drizzle of vinegar. (Recipe adapted from the July 2009 issue of Bon Appetit magazine) Associated Press Kickoff Key Jingle Marchiony says the video has been around since 1999, the year the MegaVision video board was installed. He says the athletics department reviews the video each season to see if anything needs to change, but the purpose of the video stays the same. One of the newest game day traditions is the student section jingling its keys during kick returns. Thousands of students pull out keys to their cars and all join together to make one jingly sound while the Jayhawks try to run the ball back to score. Marsh says the tradition comes from other schools, so it's not as set in stone as others at the University, but it's still easy to participate in. "Just about everyone has keys in their pockets," Marsh says. He says that is probably why the tradition caught on in the student section so quickly. Opening Game Day Video Opening game day video THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE Photo by Mike Gunnoe/KANSAM The pregame video has been a popular tradition at KU football games since its introduction in 1999.

The Jayhawks played the Sooners close for much of the game, but were never really in it against the Red Raiders, who won 63-21 to snap the Jayhawks' 13-game winning streak at Memorial Stadium. After opening with convincing wins against Florida International and Louisiana Tech, Kansas lost a heartbreaker to South Florida, 37-34. The Jayhawks never seemed in sync against the Bulls, but rebounded to defeat Sam Houston State in their last nonconference game. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Following a blowout of Kansas State in Lawrence, Kansas dropped two more games at Nebraska and at home to Texas one week later. The Jayhawks entered their final regular season game in Kansas City, Mo., against the Missouri Tigers with hopes of ending their two-game skid with a victory against their archrivals. In what turned out to be one of the best played games of the college football season, Todd Reesing delivered the winning touchdown pass to Kerry Meier late in the game to seal the victory for the Jayhawks. Kansas finished the 2008 season with a 42-21 win against Minnesota in the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. Scott Toland THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 10 O AROUND THE NATION Games to watch Keep an eye on these matchups N NEVADA VS. NOTRE DAME N MOSCOW Many Notre Dame fans hope this is the year that the Fighting Irish will return to past glory, or at least to another BCS bowl. Expect Nevada to give Notre Dame an early challenge in South Bend, Ind. MARYLAND VS. Cal CALIFORNIA Many analysts think California running back Jahvid Best is the best tailback in the nation. The Terps should keep it close in the first half, but expect the Golden Bears to pull away in the third quarter. LSU LSU VS. WASHINGTON WOLF Washington was the worst team in a BCS conference last year. After a sub-par year for perennial powerhouse LSU, expect the Tigers to come out firing on all cylinders. This one could get ugly. ASSOCIATED PRESS S MIAMI VS. FLORIDA STATE T A lot has changed in Florida in the past decade. A guy named Tebow showed up in Gainesville and now the Gators rule the state. But this game still means a lot. Anything can happen in this rivalry. Coach Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech face a tough test at home this weekend. The Hokies face Alabama at 7 p.m. Saturday on ABC. A ALABAMAVS.VIRGINIATECHVT Week one's best game features clash of styles and standout defenses The first Top 10 matchup of the year is intriguing. Alabama lost its final two games last season after starting 12-0, and Virginia Tech finished on a high note by winning the Orange Bowl. The Hokies are widely considered to be the favorite in the ACC, while the Crimson Tide is replacing Its starting quarterback and other key players. Virginia Tech is known for its great special teams, but Alabama's star receiver Julio Jones will be the difference. It should be a low-scoring game, but look for the Tide to pull it out at the end. Nick Saban flat out knows how to win football games. AP TOP 25 Team (First place votes) Record Total Vote 1. Florida (58) 0-0 1,498 2. Texas (2) 0-0 1,424 3. Oklahoma 0-0 1,370 4. USC 0-0 1,313 5.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN AROUND THE BIG 12 11 Big 12 - Week 1 Compiled by Hallie Mann STATE GAME TO WATCH Oklahoma State v. Georgia G After all of the hype we've been hearing about Oklahoma State, the Sports illustrated cover and the top 25 ranking, we can finally see how good they really are. The Cowboys rank ahead of the Bulldogs in both the Associated Press Poll (OSU-9th/Georgia-13th) and the Coaches Poll (OSU-11th/Georgia-13th) but that doesn't guarantee them anything. Unlike most of the teams in the Big 12, Oklahoma State will be playing a top 25 ranked opponent for their season opener, which will draw national attention to the Cowboys. Georgia finished 10-3 last season but has not started the season with a road game since 2001.

This is Dalton's second arrest in Columbia and his dismissal will leave the #2 spot open for sophomore Jimmy Costello. KANSAS Coach Mark Mangino announced at his weekly press conference Tuesday that there will be some new faces on the special teams lineup this Saturday but did not disclose who those players would be. Mangino said the special teams would be more competitive and skilled with these changes. OKLAHOMA Linebacker Mike Balogun won't play against BYU this weekend because of his continuing battle with the NCAA for eligibility, according to the Oklahoma. Also, guard Stephen Good will be replaced by LSU transfer Jarvis Jones for the starting guard position. OKLAHOMA STATE Senior linebacker Orie Lemon will be out for the season with a torn ACL, according to the Daily O'Collegian. Senior Cornerback Perrish Cox was arrested and posted bail last Friday for driving with a suspended license and without insurance. Coach Mike Gundy said the situation would be handled internally, according to the Daily O'Collegian. COLORADO Colorado brokered a 10-year deal with Colorado State to play at a neutral location, Denver, between 2010 and 2019, according to the Daily Camera. KANSAS STATE Junior Carson Coffman will be the starting quarterback for the Wildcats this Saturday against Massachusetts. Coach Bill Snyder made the announcement in a press conference Tuesday morning that Coffman would start over South Florida transfer Grant Gregory. Snyder also announced that junior college transfer Daniel Thomas will start at running back. CUCKOO TICKETS ASSOCIATED PRESS QUOTE OF THE WEEK "I'm excited because I didn't think we had a great season [last season]. I didn't come here to win nine games, and that's why I'm excited for this season." -Nebraska coach Bo Pelini (from the Lincoln Journal Star) THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 --- 12 GAME DAY AT A GLANCE Ah. football season has finally returned. Kansas returns all of its key skill position players on offense as well as a solid nucleus of returning starters on defense. But there are still question marks at linebacker and offensive line. Luckily, the first game always seems to provide some answers. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior running back Jake Sharp OK, so this isn't all about Sharp. the fun game struggled in non-conference play last season, and Kansas has the added responsibility of breaking in three new 1 ing in three new Sharp offensive linemen. this year. Facing a lesser opponent, the Jayhawks — and specifically Sharp — should post big rushing numbers. QUESTION MARKS Who will stand out at linebacker? Mangino released his team's depth chart during the weekend, including his first-team linebackers. But the position is far from settled. The Jayhawks will continue to find the most productive players early in the year. When will we see Kale Pick? Pick, a freshman quarterback, is Reesing's backup this season. Facing a Northern Colorado team that finished 1-10 last season, Pick should play when Kansas is holding a comfortable lead. The question is: When will that be? BY THE NUMBERS 18 Number of consecutive night home games Kansas has won Kansas (0-0) 26 Number of consecutive starts for quarterback Todd Reesing 288 Number of tackles lost at linebacker from last year 3,025 Combined receiving yards of Kerry Meier, Dezmon Briscoe and Johnathan Wilson last year 2003 Last year Kansas lost its home opener KJ OFFENSE Kansas' offense hasn't faced any real scrutiny this offseason. And why should it have? The Jayhawks return quarterback Todd Reeing along with his top three receivers from last season. Senior Kerry Meier and junior Dezmon Briscoe and Johnathan Wilson form one of the best receiving units in the Big 12. But there is one area with inexperience: the offensive line. Northern Colorado provides --- Kansas with an opportunity to break in a line featuring three new faces: Tanner Hawkinson, Sal Capra and Brad Thorson. Reesing DEFENSE Much attention has been heaped onto Kansas' situation at linebacker. And while the Jayhawks will have to play three new linebackers, the more important unit to watch is the defensive line, led by junior Jake Laptad. Kansas ranked 10th in the Big 12 against the pass last season — a result of an ineffective Laptad pass rush. The Jayhawks must create more pressure, especially against a team that finished 1-10 last year. SPECIAL TEAMS Kansas' return game struggled for much of last season before coach Mark Mangino inserted Briscoe to return kickoffs late in the year. Expect Briscoe or freshman Bradley McDougald to fill that position this season. Mangino has continuously praised McDou A. I. B. gald's play this offseason, and it will be interesting to see how much of a role he plays on special teams. McDougald COACHING The first game of any season is usually 5 filled with a little sloppiness. But Mangino's teams are generally well prepared, even early in the season. The most important coaching decision this week revolves around M. JONATHAN MCKAY the offensive line. Mangino and his staff must decide which set of players forms the best unit. Mangino S 5 MOMENTUM If their advertising campaign is any indication — "History Awaits" — the Jayhawks are expecting big things this season. And for that reason, the Jayhawks enter the game with loads of anticipation and fan excitement. Kansas must continue building that momentum by easily defeating Northern Colorado.

Predictive Kansas 49, Northern THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN -O) NORTHERN COLORADO GAME DAY 13 Northern Colorado (0-0) KU KU 5 REEVOK PEEMO OFFENSE Northern Colorado's offensive strength lies in its quarterback Bryan Waggener. Last season Waggener threw for the sixth-most yards in school history, passing for 2,546 yards. His 2,716 yards of total offense ranked fifth. On the flip side, he threw 15 interceptions and was sacked 26 times. The offense also returns five other starters, including wide receiver Alex Thompson, who Waggener had 511 yards receiving. Despite their experience level, the Bears can't match the Jayhawks in numbers on the offensive side of the ball. DEFENSE Northern Colorado's defense returns seven of its defensive players from last year, but with several of them out with injuries, particularly the linebackers, they have lost that depth. Defensive tackles Martin Anachie and Dominique Ceja are the two guys who will be leading the defense this season.Both have size and strength but they will be up against an experienced offense that know how to move the ball. Awachie SPECIAL TEAMS Punter Cameron Kaman will return for the Bears this season after kicking 63 punts for 2543 yards last season. Kaman averaged 40.4 yards per kick and had only one blocked. Senior Quincy Wofford also returns as the starting kickoff and punt returner for Northern Colorado. Wofford averaged 24.7 yards per return last season and returned one kickoff for a touchdown. This is one area the Bears have experience and consistency. MARK SCHNEIDER Kaman COACHING This will be coach Scott Downing's fourth season leading Northern Colorado, but his win-loss record has been less than stellar the last two seasons.

With nowhere to go but up, the Bears have a chance to get some experience against a Division I team for the start of their season. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior kick returner Quincy Wofford Wofford has made some game chang ing performances for the Bears (like a 100-yard touchdown return against Northern Arizona last season) and will see a lot of playing time on Saturday. N. BOSUMO Wofford time on Saturday. Look for him to be a leader on the field and the scoreboard for Northern Colorado. QUESTION MARKS Can Northern Colorado's defense stop Kansas? The Bears allowed nearly 400 yards and 30 points on average per game last season. Northern Colorado allowed 256.1 ypg passing last season and Kansas will take advantage of that with its receivers. Will Waggener move up another school record this Saturday? Waggener needs 454 passing yards to reach his 3,000-yard career mark. If he can make 460, he will be 10th in the Northern Colorado record book. 1 BY THE NUMBERS Number of games Northern Colorado won last season 11 Number of games Northern Colorado has played against Big 12 Opponents (2-9 record) 16 Number of returning starters from last season 20. 5 Average points per game for Northern Colorado 77 Number of penalties for Northern Colorado last season (least in Big Sky Conference) 2,546 Number of yards quarterback Bryan Waggener passed for last season ISAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 14 BIG 12 Words from the Big 12 Writers from around the conference weigh in on their teams KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Sold-out crowd expected at first game 14 78 ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — I've got to hand it to John Currie. I thought a sold-out crowd for a game against a Division I-AA opponent was too much to ask, but it looks like he'll prove me wrong. Carson Coffman will start the season at quarterback and Daniel Thomas will start in the backfield against Massachusetts. No big surprises there. Pretty solid tandem in my opinion. Coffman might take the field first, but don't be surprised when Grant Gregory takes just as many snaps in the first few games. After all, this is a Snyder-coached team. Remember the Ell Roberson-Marc Dunn battle in 2002? Hanson Sekona is listed as the team's No. 2 defensive tackle. Expect to see Sekona Kansas State quarterback Carson Coffman looks for a receiver during the first half of the team's game in Manhattan. Coffman will start this season as quarterback. — a former linebacker who is listed at 230 pounds — be tossed around like a rag doll at the line of scrimmage. No offense to Sekona, but if the Wildcats are moving linebackers to defensive tackle, they might as well try the kickers out at quarterback. Speaking of which, Daniel Calvin — a starting defensive tackle a year ago — isn't listed on the two-deep for Saturday. Brandon Harold needs to get healthy quick, or K-State's defensive front four could be in for a long season. On a lighter note, with Chris Harper and Broderick Smith in the lineup, one could argue that the Wildcats have the most talented scout teams in the conference. Quite promising for 2010. With Brandon Banks listed as the team's No.1 receiver, as well as the starting kick and punt returner, expect to see some massive, Sproles-like numbers in the North Carolina native's all-purpose category. IOWA STATE CYCLONES Fundamentals are key to successful season By Michael Zogg Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa If defense wins championships, it is no wonder the 2008 Iowa State football team didn't end the season with any hardware. The Cyclones ended the season ranked 112 out of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in total defense, yielding 452.83 yards per game. All those yards translated into more than 35 points per game for Iowa State opponents. The team has said it will need to play better defensively in order to win games this year. "There are a lot of things we need to get better at, and tackling is definitely one of them," said senior linebacker Jesse Smith. That theme has been repeated over and over by coaches and players alike. In order to improve its tackling, the team has gone all the way back to the fundamentals. "Feet, if you're going to be a great tackler, you've got to bring your feet and your hips all the way to the tackle," head coach Paul Rhoads said. "We refer to it as 'taking the extra step.' You've got to move your feet all the way to the tackle." The defense will be taught those fundamentals by a defensive coordinator who, though new at Iowa State, has 40 years of experience. That includes nine years as an assistant to Bobby Bowden at Florida State where he helped the Seminoles win a national championship in 1993. For the past seven years, Wally Burnham has been the defensive coordinator for South Florida, culminating in the 10th-ranked defense in the nation last season. Burnham has given the defense a new mantra for this season: swarm and punk. "Swarm the football and punish whoever's got it," Burnham explained with a smile. One of the ways the Cyclones hope to accomplish that is with the blitz. Burnham likes to blitz for a couple of different reasons. "I think the kids love it, frankly," he said. "I think it is an aggressive style of defense." CITY OF NEW YORK Missouri still has room for improvement before game By Harry Plummer Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coach Gary Pinkel saw some things he liked in Missouri's final scrimmage Thursday, but he also spotted room for improvement. Now, the Tigers have less than a week to "fix things"—as Pinkel put it—before they open the season Sept. 5 against Illinois in St. Louis. Missouri begins the pursuit of its third straight Big 12 North title having lost impact players at multiple positions. Six members of the 2008 team were taken in the NFL draft, but the toughest Tiger to replace may be the one who wasn't drafted — quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Chase Daniel, who threw two touchdowns for the Redskins last week in a 17-13 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Daniel's successor at quarterback is sophomore Blaine Gabbert, who led the first-team offense through its repetitions Thursday and will be the starter against Illinois. Gabbert showed off great athleticism Thursday, making accurate throws and moving in and out of the pocket well. But most importantly, he is inspiring confidence in his receiving corps. "He can be as good as he wants to be," senior wide receiver Danario Alexander said. "I feel like he's learned the offense and gotten better throughout this camp." Gabbert was 11-for-14 passing in the scrimmage. His biggest gain of the day was a long ball down the left sideline that Alexander was barely able to snag and stay in bounds. "We have pretty good communication," Alexander said of Gabbert. "We've been working on this since July." One position that won't need filling is tailback. Junior Derrick Washington had 17 touchdowns in 2008 and scored the only touchdown Thursday. Speedy sophomore De'Vion Moore has also drawn attention in camp and picked up a nice fourth-down conversion in the scrimmaage. "Derrick Washington did some real good things, and so did Moore," Pinkel said.

" ANSAN 90 ASSOCIATED PRESS Nebraska running back Quentin Castille, center, runs away from Clemson defenders during the third quarter of the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1 in Jacksonville, Fla. Castille was dismissed from the team for breaking an unspecified rule. By Mike Schaefer The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — Roy Helu Jr. stood before reporters after practice Friday, telling them how Quentin Castille is the best running back on the Nebraska football team. "He's a better player than me right now and has been for awhile," Helu said. Castille will be the best back on some other team now. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini told the same reporters that Castille had been removed from the team for breaking an unspecified team rule. "His biggest thing was holding onto the ball, and he's done that this month," Helu said Friday. "He's become more of a complete player. He hasn't fumbled once in fall camp." The dismissal from the team was the final action in a tumultuous summer for Castille. He abruptly went to Atlanta during the summer. Pelini granted Castille permission to take the trip. Earlier in the camp, Castille spoke about why he went to Atlanta. He'll have plenty of time to clear his head now. ("NU coach Bo Pelini) sensed that something was wrong with me," Castille said. "But it was just stupid things that I was doing that I knew I shouldn't have been doing, I left, and I came back. Now I feel like I've had a fresh start." Castille said the move was necessary for him to "clear his head." It will be interesting to see how the dismissal of Castille affects Helu. The two had grown close over the summer. He was the second part of what could have been a lethal tandem at running back for the Huskers. He was a stark contrast to Helu's more evasive style. Nebraska's rushing attack with Helu and Castille gave defensive coordinators something to think about. Both complemented each other with their styles, effectively attacking a different area of the defense. But where Castille and Helu truly differed was in their ball security. Castille took a lot of heat in his first two seasons with the Huskers because he was prone to fumbling. That was an area Helu said Castille had been working hard on. Labor Day Coffee Sale $9.99/lb.

The Colorado Buffaloes saw this firsthand in 2008. Last season, things started off hot for the Colorado special teams beginning in the first game of the season. Josh Smith took a kick return in the second quarter 93 yards for a touchdown as the Buffs cruised to a 38-17 victory over Colorado State. Two weeks later, kicker Aric Goodman hit a 25-yard field goal in overtime as Colorado defeated No. 21 West Virginia, 17-14. After that kick though, things seemed to go downhill for the Buffaloes. Following Goodman's overtime winner, he would miss his next eight field goal attempts and would finish the season 5-for-14 in field goals while Smith would be shut down for the rest of the season. He would eventually leave the team this summer. Though last season's special teams struggled, so far throughout fall camp, special teams coach Kent Riddle said he is happy with the progress his unit has made. "It's been a very good fall," Riddle said. "We made progress and we just keep on improving." Spring and fall camp have done wonders for Goodman. He has changed his technique by taking out a step before he kicks. "I just felt that taking it out made everything more consistent and more fluid," Goodman said. "I'm looking for the same consistency in each kick and I felt that getting rid of it was the way to do it." Five months after the season ended, Goodman showed why he's still the starting placekicker this season. He nailed two field goals in last April's spring game from 43 and 50 vards. Riddle said it's Goodman's mental attitude he is most impressed with since last season. "He's really devoted himself to the idea of being a great kicker, rather than just wanting to be a great kicker;" Riddle said. T TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Tech at disadvantage under current BCS system By Landry Locker The Daily Toreador LUBBOCK, Texas — This weekend is the first in college football season, and Boise State already is playing for a BCS appearance against Oregon on the blue turf. While most teams have to go through conference gauntlets to be rewarded with BCS appearances, teams such as Boise State and Utah simply have to defeat a second-tier team from a BCS conference and dominate its inferior conferences in order to be rewarded with a BCS appearance. The BCS was made for these teams. But, what do they do to show their appreciation for the system? They constantly speak out against the system, claiming it doesn't give them a fair chance. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach has spoken out against the current system, but unlike Utah and Boise State, Leach's team is actually at a huge disadvantage under the BCS. If Boise State defeats Oregon on Thursday — a team the Broncos are favored to beat — then they will most likely go undefeated in the western Athletic Conference and appear in yet another BCS game. On the other hand, a team like Tech has to run through the Big 12 South and defeat both Oklahoma and Texas in order to reap the same benefits. Although the Red Raiders were eventually humiliated by Oklahoma, there is nobody with an ounce of common sense that can convince me that Utah would have finished 2-1 against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Texas last season. Nevertheless, the Utes were rewarded with a BCS appearance in the Sugar Bowl while the Red Raiders received an invite to the Cotton Bowl. Don't get me wrong. OU was a good team in 2006, but the Sooners were not a national championship contender that season. I personally am not in favor of a college football playoff, but what the teams from non-BCS conferences are arguing for would put these ungrateful beneficiaries of the current system in their places. They would have to face an elite team more than once a season.

Henry Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — A sub-par opponent. A holiday weekend. Pretty much the same team returning for Texas from last season. There sure doesn't seem to be any reason to attend Saturday night's season opener against Louisiana Monroe. So go ahead and skip it and come back for the first real game of the season against Texas Tech on Sept. 19. But if you go, here is a list of the top 10 things to watch in Texas' season opener. D. J. Monroe — The Longhorns went the entire 2008 season without a true speed threat. Blink and you'll miss this 100-meter dash State Champion. Dan Buckner — The coaching staff had been playing the 6-foot-4-inch receiver on the outside at split end and he hadn't been producing, but then they started using him as the flex tight end. Buckner has emerged as a threat down the middle. New turf - See how much faster the game gets with the new artificial turf. At the same time, we'll get a chance to see whether it leads to more injuries. Sam Acho - The talk of the defense has been Sergio Kindle, but Acho has gotten bigger and stronger, and has emerged as the starter at the defensive end position opposite Kindle. ASSOCIATED PRESS Stadium upgrades The south and north end zone projects are complete, there is a new grand entrance to the stadium and there are new options in the north end zone food court. Garrett Gilbert — The next great quarterback for UT will play in the first game of the year as Colt McCoy's backup. Everyone wants to see how the five-star recruit from Lake Travis High School does. - Christian Scot vs. Blake Gideon — Both are battling for the right safety spot. Texas senior quarterback Colt McCoy congratulates running back Fozzy Whittaker after a successful pass during the Longhorns team practice in Austin, Texas. With upgrades to its stadium and additions to its team, Texas is expected to have no trouble in its first game. New packages on defense — The Longhorns are going to have more packages which feature three down linemen in order to put more speed on the field and stop spread offenses. Keeping up with the Sooners? — Last season when Oklahoma ran up the score, Texas' coach called off the dogs. See if his approach changes this season. More play under center — McCoy will take more snaps from under center and the Longhorns will run their no-huddle offense at a faster tempo. 28 WHITT JACKER 28 TEXAS 12 Coach keeps momentum with early practice TEXAS A&M AGGIES TEXAS A 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson carries the ball in a game against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. A&M coach Mike Sherman has been pushing players at practice to improve on last season's 4-8 finish. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN By Brad Cox The Battalion COLLEGE STATION, Texas Texas A&M's season opener may be getting closer, but that does not mean the practices are getting any easier. A&M coach Mike Sherman had the team up early Monday for its first practice since the end of fall camp. Dubbing fall practices a return of the Junction Boys days, Sherman kept the momentum going into the first game week and had players doing conditioning by 6 a.m. "I think any time you get 18-to-22-year-olds up at six o'clock it's hard to expect them to be totally excited," Sherman said. "I wanted to run them before we practiced so they had to practice tired for a little bit. After running the gassers they were pretty competitive." While some players, like junior quarterback Rodro Johnson, enjoy the morning practices, others struggle with the early hours. "I came to realize regardless of what time I go to bed, I'm tired when I wake up," said sophomore receiver Jeff Fuller. The Aggies are fighting to push a 4-8 2008 season into the past and to move forward with a new legacy. Sherman's first season was characterized by a season opening loss to a Football Championship Subdivision team, Arkansas State. After the loss to the Red Wolves, A&M went on the road to New Mexico and won 28-22. The difference between the 2008 New Mexico team and the 2009 New Mexico team is a new coaching staff led by Mike Locksley, who replaced Rocky Long in December after Long stepped down following the 2008 season. Sherman said it will not be a luxury to face New Mexico a second year in a row because of the changes the team saw from year to year. "Because of where the coach is from, we've spent a lot of time looking at Illinois;" Sherman said. "But you have to realize any coach is going to adapt their scheme to fit their players so we have to put a little bit into that as well. It's a little of a hodgepodge of Johnson, then a sophomore, made his debut against the Lobos in 2008 after quarterback Stephen McGee suffered an injury to his shoulder. Johnson will start Saturday after winning a battle for the position against sophomore Ryan Tannehill. research that we do." The 2009 team has 15 freshmen listed on the depth chart,notably freshman running back Christine Michael and receiver Ryan Swope,who will handle kick returns. "I want their first experience at Kyle Field to be a win," Johnson said about the large freshman class. "There will be a lot of young guys playing and I want it to be a blast for them. I want them to be as comfortable as quick as they can." With a 2-5 home record in 2008, the Aggies had its worst season at Kyle Field since 1972, when the A&M squad lost four of its five home games. "I think last year it's one of the things we didn't stress enough is winning at Kyle Field," Johnson said. "We've got to get that home field advantage back." THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 18 BIG 12 OKLAHOMA SOONERS Bradford to lead Sooners through tough schedule James Roth The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — After a disappointing end to last year's season, the Sooners are geared up and ready to make another run at a national championship in 2009. With returning Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford at the helm, the Sooners look to not only win their fourth consecutive Big 12 title but also their eighth national championship in school history. The Sooners will start the season off by playing in Texas, and it will not be at the Cotton Bowl. Instead the Sooners will play Brigham Young University at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game will mark the first collegiate football game ever played in the stadium. The Sooners will then be back in Norman for the following two weeks when they host Idaho State and Tulsa before traveling to the University of Miami to play the Hurricanes. After returning home to face Baylor, the Sooners will take on their longtime rival, the Texas Longhorns, in the 103rd Red River Rivalry game in Dallas. The Sooners look to redeem their loss last year to the Longhorns, and the game should feature a great matchup at the quarterback position between Heisman hopefuls Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy. The Sooners will finish the regular season facing in-state rival Oklahoma State. OSU looks to have a very strong team this year and it will feature another great quarterback matchup between Bradford and the Cowboys' Zac Robinson. The Sooners will then play three of their next five games on the road, including games at Kansas, Nebraska and Texas Tech. The Texas Tech Red Raiders will look to get revenge against the Sooners after an embarrassing performance last year, losing 65-21 and shattering any hopes of a national championship. The Sooners look to have a very promising year. The team looks solid on both sides of the ball, returning many starters from last year's team. The past couple years have been tough for the Sooners when it comes to bowl games, but in 2009 they hope to change that and get back to a winning tradition. 14 ASSOCIATED PRESS In this Oct. 18, 2008, file photo, Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford looks for a receiver in a game against Kansas in Norman, Okla.

BAYLOR BEARS Penn State transfer gives Baylor 'D' a boost By Chris Derrett The Lariat WACO, Texas — Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor makes his Big 12 debut as a Bear this season, but the 6-foot-4, 355-pound Penn State transfer is hardly a rookie to overcoming challenges. Taylor spent his 2006 and 2007 seasons with the Nittany Lions before head coach Joe Paterno dismissed him from the team for charges stemming from an on-campus fight. Looking for an opportunity to turn away from trouble, he followed Penn State's safeties coach Brian Norwood to Baylor where Norwood is serving his second year as the Bears' defensive coordinator. Already, Big 12 media representatives have taken notice of Taylor's potential and expect great things from him. "I feel honored to be the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year," Taylor said. "We are at 180-degree turnaround from last year on the defensive front." Head coach Art Briles firmly believes Taylor will be key in the Bears' bid for their first bowl game in 15 seasons, a season that could steer Baylor toward the kind of bowl success enjoyed in the 1980s and early '90s. "[Taylor] has to be a guy that is completely dominant every time he puts number 11 on," Briles said. "They need to know who he is, who he is representing and how he is going to play." Last year Baylor ranked 103rd in pass defense and 85th in total defense. The team also had 54 tackles for loss, placing 109th in the nation. Because Taylor requires double team "He is a huge presence on the inside — literally. People aren't going to be able to double team the linebackers, and that will definitely free us up," Pawelek said. coverage, senior linebacker Joe Pawelek thinks Taylor's size and strength provide additional defensive pressure that the team wants. As the last line of defense, senior safety Jordan Lake also appreciates any help the defensive line provides in slowing down opponents. "Phil has been a huge help when you have someone 350 pounds and runs like they're 220," Lake said, "He is someone anchoring the defensive line." For Taylor to cause the damage his teammates are counting on, physical speed and quick-witted awareness are crucial. Briles constantly keeps Taylor working on both in "He helps me understand things. He always says fly to the ball. He makes practices tough, but it helps in the long run," Taylor said. Taylor realizes he lines up against some of the best linemen in collegiate football in the Big 12, not to mention the backs behind them. practice. "We have got some high-caliber offenses," Taylor said about the conference. "I get to go against the Heisman quarterback. But we are going for all of them." Other than his impressive physique. Taylor also brings something that no other teammate has yet to claim — bowl game experience. His five tackles helped the 2007 Nittany Lions to a 24-17 Alamo Bowl victory over Texas A&M. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 8 SLAIN BIG 12 19 OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS OSU stumbles under SI cover curse 1 COWBOYS 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS In this Nov. 1, 2008, file photo, OSI wide receiver Dez Bryant runs the football during a game against the Iowa State Cyclones in Stillwater, Okla. ISAN By Adam Kemp The Daily O'Collegian STILLWATER, Okla. — Curses are the stuff of old wives' tales and late night grandpa stories by the fireplace. But for Oklahoma State, fans are beginning to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. When the Cowboys landed on Sports Illustrated's cover for its special college football edition with an eyebrow-raising picture of quarterback Zac Robinson and center Andrew Lewis, OSU fans rejoiced because its team was ranked in the preseason Top 10, playing in a marquee matchup against SEC power Georgia, and was now featured on one of the premier sporting magazines. It seemed that OSU had finally arrived. Of course there were some fans who immediately pointed out the notorious Sports Illustrated Curse that has affected so many athletes before. But no way the Cowboys could fall victim to it, this is our year, this is THE team, and this curse is nothing but a myth. Well, folks, it is happening. In the past 72 hours it was announced that starting cornerback Perrish Cox was arrested, starting tight end Jamal Mosley has left the team for "personal reasons" and starting middle linebacker Orie Lemon has torn his ACL and will miss the entire 2009 season. Couple this with the extreme amount of pressure the Cowboys are facing before the biggest home opener in school history against the Georgia Bulldogs and you have Mount Vesuvius ready to blow. Coach Mike Gundy made the decision to lock all Oklahoma State media out of practice for 10 days leading up to game week in hopes of relieving some of the weight of the media. If the players fell into a dreamland during those 10 days, they were rudely awakened this past Monday by an onslaught of hungry media members desperate to expose their fears to the football world. only linebacker for OSU that was proficient at stopping the run and, as a senior, the loss of his experience will not go unnoticed on a defense aching for an identity. The loss of Mosley will hurt, but the Cowboys do have a lot of young depth at tight end and Mosley did not make any jaw-dropping plays during his stint starting for the injured Brandon Pettigrew last season. But losing Lemon, a senior, will hurt considerably more. Lemon was the If things weren't bad enough, the Oklahoma State Athletic Department thought it would be a genius idea to hire a former Baylor football player to write a new spirit song that embarrasses and frustrates the orange-clad faithful who were looking for that perfect season. Oklahoma State hired John Martin, son of OSU Associate Athletic Director Dave Martin, to compose a new spirit song detailing the feelings of being a Cowboy. The song has caused quite the uproar on the Oklahoma State campus, a Facebook group page called "Stop Cowboys 4ever Now" has more 5,000 fans. The Cowboys seemed to have the dream season ahead of them, a season that fans have always been looking for. Now, if this curse runs its course through the rest of the team, there is no telling what could happen. Cowboy fans may not recognize the signs of the cursed, but when I think of the trouble that has been inflicted so far this year, I see only two letters — Si. Follow The Kansan on Twitter!

Third baseman Tony Thompson won the Triple Crown in the Big 12 last year but did not earn Offensive Player of the Year honors. Now a junior, Thompson is focused on leading the Jayhawks to another successful season. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 4,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 21 STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE After winning the Triple Crown in the Big 12, star third baseman could lead Kansas' offense this season ByTim Dwyer tdwyer@kansan.com Tony Thompson could become the most prolific hitter in Kansas history this year. It's not hard to believe — he just had the single greatest offensive season in Jayhawks baseball history, arguably Big 12 history. Thompson, junior third baseman for Kansas, became the first player ever to win the Triple Crown in the Big 12 conference, leading the league in batting average (.389), home runs (21) and RBIs (82). Thompson had no idea that he had actually pulled off the feat until baseball assistant media relations director Mike Cummings told him. "It was awesome," Thompson says. "I really was pretty speechless when Mike told me. It's an amazing individual honor, but it also speaks to the strength of our KAN "I thought that was interesting," Kansas coach Ritch Price says."I don't think I've ever seen that before where a guy has won the Triple Crown and not been conference player of the year. I think, maybe, some of the older coaches looked at how young he was and wouldn't give that award to a sophomore." Photo by Weston White/KANSAN Tony Thompson high-fives teammates during a game last season. The layhawks are glad to have Thompson back this season after he led the Big 12 in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in last year. "I knew I was going to go to school," he says. "I drew some interest from pro teams, but I was pretty set on college, so I was forward about that and they understood and didn't draft me." His power was on display during his Thompson's ability to hit the baseball was on display long before he set foot in Lawrence. During his first three years at Galena High School in Reno, Nev., Thompson hit .490, drawing the eye of both professional and college scouts, but Thompson knew what his next step would be. NSAN "I don't think I've ever seen that before where a guy has won the Triple Crown and not been conference player of the year." Coach Ritch Price team. it feels amazing to have that award in my pocket. I'll come out next year and try to do it again." In addition to leading in the Triple Crown categories, Thompson also led the conference in doubles, hits, total bases and slugging percentage. He was also in the top 10 in the Big 12 with 58 runs scored and an on base percentage of .442. It was only a matter of looking at the numbers for Thompson to be named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Only he wasn't. Oklahoma first baseman J.T.Wise, who unquestionably had a wonderful season at the plate hitting .359 with 17 home runs and 62 RBIs, was picked for the award over Thompson and his superior numbers. high school years, but it was the summer between his high school and college years that really dropped jaws. In the Joe DiMaggio Summer League, Thompson hit .750 with 22 home runs over one summer, and Price knew he was getting a special player. "I really did expect this." Price says. "I went down to Reno to see him maybe four times over his junior year and every time I went he did something spectacular. I thought he could blossom into a really physical player for us." It certainly didn't happen in his freshman year, though. Thompson struggled early and only knocked five balls out of the park on the season. Despite hitting a mediocre .296, Thompson rounded into form late in the season, ending the year on a nine-game hitting streak. It was a sign of things to come. Thompson opened his sophomore campaign by extending that hitting streak to 23 games, one shy of the Kansas record. That hit streak ended, and this is no coincidence, in a 1-0 loss for the Jayhawks. In fact, Kansas was shut out only twice on the season — both games in which Thompson went hitless. Two other times during the season, Thompson ripped off hitting streaks of 17 or more games. One of them — 20 games long — is active heading into the 2010 "Obviously, the dude's been awesome," says junior second baseman Robby Price. "You can't have a better year." It's not the only thing that Thompson will carry into the next year. He'll be carrying an offense. After the loss of shortstop David Narodowski and catcher Buck Afenir, the Jayhawks are missing a leadoff man and a cleanup hitter, a pair of vital holes in the lineup. While Thompson won't have to pick up all the slack himself, he'll have to play a major role — again as the Jayhawks try to repeat last year's success. campaign. "The great thing about Tony is that he's not an ego guy. He's a good teammate, good kid." Ritch Price says, "I think he has a chance to come out and reproduce and improve on some of the numbers he put up last year." --- --- now available! PALLADIUM internet Optimized for video.

Oklahoma The Sooners are on a mission this season and the Cougars just don't have the defense to slow down Sam Bradford. Alabama Alabama won't lose its opener after finishing with two straight losses last season. The Tide will roll into Blacksburg and escape with a victory. Stanford Stanford is a team on the rise, while the Cougars are still reeling from a dreadful 2-11 season in 2008.

Notre Dame — Don't expect the Fighting Irish to make a BCS game this year, but do expect them to put away the Wolfpack in their home opener. Nebraska — The Blackshirts are back in Lincoln.

GIRL POWER Two alumni lead in Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com Two KU alumni have topped the list of Forbes Magazine's 100 Most Powerful Women in the World finding themselves among an international hedgepodge of chief executives, presidents and queens. Sheila Bair, chair of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, placed second on the list, which was released in August. Bair grew up in Independence, Kan., and graduated from the University with a degree in philosophy in 1978 and a J.D. from the School of Law in 1982. She has served as chair of the FDIC since June 2006. Cynthia Carroll, who placed fourth on the list, earned her Master of Science in geology in 1982 and is the Chief Executive Officer of Anglo American, based in London. The company is one of the largest independent mining corporations in the world. Forbes, a biweekly business magazine, is famous for its lists, which have included "400 Richest Americans," "Celebrity 100" and "America's Best Colleges." According to the Forbes Web site, the list is determined by two scoring components: a woman's press visibility and the size of the country or company she runs. Other women on the list include German chancellor Angela Merkel, 1st, Hillary Clinton, 36th, Michelle Obama, 40th, Oprah Winfrey, 41st and Kathleen Sebelius, who is also a KU graduate, 57th. Shannon Fisher, Lawrence first year law student, was inspired by finding herself at the school Bair graduated from 31 years ago. Rhonda LeValdo, KU graduate from the School of Journalism, was nominated for the KU Women of Distinction Calendar in 2009 for a Pulitzer Center video she produced of her grandmother, who lives in Acoma Pueblo, N.M., one of the oldest continuously-occupied settlements in the United States. LeValdo said she recognized the potential influence a powerful woman could have on others. "It's really enabling to know that someone who's gone through the same programs that I've been going through right now has been able to reach such a high level," she said. "I think it's important to show female students what is possible when you put your mind to work," LeValdo said. "Also, I think it gives students an idea of what they can achieve if they are doubting themselves." Fisher said that Forbes' list was a good example of the improving status of women, but that inequality between men and women was still a problem. "It's not shattered yet, I don't think," she said about the notion of the glass ceiling. "I'm sure these KU alumni that have reached high heights have had to sacrifice a lot that maybe their male counterparts haven't had to." KUIH interviewed Carroll after she placed fifth on the 2008 Forbes list. She had two pieces of advice for KU students: The first was to learn another language and the second was to study and focus while in school. "Really follow your heart — what you want to do, what really turns you on," she said in the interview. — Edited by Jacob Muselmann CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Sheila Bair, current FDIC chair, found herself slotted as No. 2 in Forbes Magazine's 100 Most Powerful Women in the World. She graduated from the CLAS in 1978 and the School of Law in 1982.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO SAFETY Forum to stress personal security BYBRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com Kansas Attorney General Steve Six and local police agencies will host a personal safety forum on campus tomorrow to raise awareness about sexual assaults. The event, which will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union, will be co-hosted by the Lawrence Police Department and the KU Public Safety Office. A similar forum will also be held later in the day at Kansas State University in Manhattan. The event is an effort to step up proactive safety measures after the attorney general's office found similarities between 13 rapes in the Lawrence and Manhattan areas. The first of those rapes occurred in 2001 and the most recent occurred in December 2008. "As the semester begins, it is critical that all students understand the importance of personal safety and know how to avoid potentially dangerous situations." Six said in a press release announcing the event. Students and members of the general public are invited to attend the forum. Six, Lawrence police and University police are scheduled to speak at the event. Elise Higgins, Topeka senior and president of the University's Commission on the Status of Women, will also discuss student safety during the forum. Higgins said she hoped to give a student perspective and to teach students how to access campus crime reports and how to get involved with safety issues on campus. Sgt. Bill Cory, Lawrence police spokesman, said his department's presentation would focus on off-campus safety issues. "A lot of these students are younger, just moved away from home, and it's good to be able to get them in a forum where we can tell them how to take care of themselves," Cory said. The attorney general's office said it thought the five rapes in Lawrence and eight in Manhattan were related and hoped this event would help prevent future attacks. All of the attacks were committed late at night by an armed man with a covered face. Most of the attacks happened while students were on academic break and none SEE SAFETY ON PAGE3A index Classifius. 8B Opinion. 7A Crossword. 6A Sports. 1B Horoscopes. 6A Sudoku. 6A All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2009 The University Daliv Kansan Conservation group checks in on ferrets 26 endangered black-footed ferrets found at Kansas cites.

Associated Press Spotlight on Organizations International Student (2013) BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI cbledowski@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The International Student Association, ISA, contains members from more than 100 countries, an optimal setting for students who want to meet people from around the world without spending time in a car or plane. "It's a good way for students to get together and make friends from many cultures," said Maggi Ma. The ISA started at the University in 1918 as the "Cosmopolitan Club," and has since changed its name several times. The group's focus, however, has always been on bringing international and American students together at the University. "In the last few years, about 80 percent of our board were Americans and 20 percent internationals," Avila said. The International Student Association is a campus group that welcomes members from all countries looking to make connections with students from other countries. The ISA is not only an organization for international students, who are automatically members, but is open to all KU students. Alexandra Avila, president of the ISA, said she thought the club was a good opportunity for Americans to meet people from other regions and cultures. Ma attended the ISAs first meeting this semester with friend Yingjiao Song. Both enjoyed how the club made it easy for new international students to meet people. Members and potential members meet every other week to discuss the latest news about the organization and plan events but still keep the spotlight on having fun and meeting new people. Next Thursday, the ISA will elect new board members. Students interested in a position as secretary, webmaster, assistant social, assistant cultural or in public relations, should contact the ISA at isa@ku.edu. Apart from regular meetings, the ISA hosts a number of events throughout the year, including "Flavors of the World," a dinner in which members contribute dishes from their home country, and a Halloween Party to introduce international students to some American traditions. Another highlight is "International Awareness Week" in April, an all-week celebration with students presenting their cultures with performances, fashion shows and artifacts from home. Events and other information will be announced throughout the year via the ISA newsletter or on Facebook in the group "ISA at KU."

Compiled by Alex Garrison POLITICS ASSOCIATED PRESS Obama speaks to labor unions CINCINNATI — President Barack Obama declared Monday that modern benefits like paid leave, minimum wage and Social Security "all bear the union label," as he appealed to organized labor to help him win the health care fight in Congress. "It was labor that helped build the largest middle class in history. So, even if you're not a union member, every American owes something to America's labor movement," said Obama, whose run for the presidency was energized in no small part by unions. Obama asserted that "our recovery plan is working," but repeated that he won't be satisfied until jobs are much more plentiful. Shortly after taking the oath, Obama confronted a rapidly deteriorating economy, a clogged credit system, failing or ailing banks and a shaky stock market. He used his speech here to tick off a host of steps the administration has taken to steady the economy, and he made a special pitch for the health care overhaul he has pushed. "We have never been this close," Obama said. "We have never had this broad an agreement on what needs to be done" He accused vested interests of trying to thwart it. Some union-circulated posters held up by audience members proclaimed, "Health Care Cant Wait." For their part, some elements within the labor movement have indicated frustration with Obama, who traveled to Cincinnati to speak to a state AFL-CIO gathering, because some key items such as legislation making it easier for people to join unions has languished in Congress. To vigorous cheers, Obama made a pitch for the bill in his speech. He also noted that the first bill he signed into law was one guaranteeing equal pay for equal work. Obama spent a good deal of his time extolling the virtues of the union movement. "We remember that the rights and benefits we enjoy today were not simply handed out to America's working men and women. They had to be won," he said. At one point before Obama spoke, some in the crowd broke into chants of "Fired up" and "Ready to Go." Obama closed with a story about how that phrase became one of his campaign slogans, and appealed to the assembled union rank and file to for help. "Your voice can change the world. Your voice can get health care passed. Your voice will make sure the American worker is protected. You can build America. I need your help," Obama said as the audience broke into more chants. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis accompanied Obama to Ohio, and the pair appeared in front of a large American flag, nine smaller ones and red, white and blue bunting.

Twenty-three suspected Somali pirates were released from the Seychelles in what appeared to be a trade for three hostages from the Seychelles Monday. 23 suspected Somali pirates released from the Seychelles INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS MOGADISHU, Somalia — A dispute erupted between authorities in Somalia and the Seychelles Monday after the island nation released 23 suspected Somali pirates in what appeared to be a trade for hostages from the Seychelles. Authorities in the Seychelles denied that they had agreed to swap the captured pirates for the three freed hostages. Somali officials nonetheless stopped the former hostages from returning to the Seychelles Monday, saying Somalia had been deceived by Seychelles authorities. The Seychelles government said it was releasing the 23 suspects because it lacked evidence needed to prosecute them. The 23 prisoners had been captured by international warships and held on piracy charges in the Seychelles, which sits southeast of Somalia's coastline.

"An exchange of Seychellos and Somalis did not take place." The governor of Somalia's Mudug region, Ahmed Ali Salad, said the planes' crews misinformed Somali authorities, claiming they were carrying humanitarian supplies. He added that no ransom was paid. It is almost unheard of for pirates to release sailors without a cash payment. "An exchange of Seychellois and Somalis did not take place." JOEL MORGAN Government leader on piracy efforts The planes were detained by Somali officials while refueling. The planes' seven crew members also were held. The Seychelles authorities said the simultaneous repatriation of their three citizens — held hostage since their yacht Serenity was seized in February — was simply a cost-effective way to use the planes and did not imply a swap. The hostages' yacht sank in poor weather after their capture. "The release of the Seychellois hostages is not related to the repatriation of the 23 Somali men Morgan said the two governments were in contact and the situation would soon be resolved.

BY KATHY MATHESON FINANCE Associated Press Scholarship recipients give back But given the tough economic times, the school is making an unusual request. Would parents consider donating that money back? PHILADELPHIA — Students who are accepted into Penn State University's prestigious honors college get more than academic feathers in their caps. They get $3,500 annual merit scholarships. The fundraising appeal for Schreyer Honors College leans on parents who have not applied for financial aid for their children, encouraging them to share their good fortune with needier students. It appears to be working. The first appeal to 75 families last year raised about $228,000. Schreyer parents, with administrators' backing, made their first appeal in a letter to other parents as the recession worsened. Students had begun turning to the college for additional financial help; in all, there was more than $1 million in unmet need at this time a year ago, said Dean Christian Brady. After the success of that campaign, parents this year doubled the number of solicitations, which went Some schools and states have tightened criteria for merit aid or eliminated it altogether to focus on students with the most need. Still, merit aid helps colleges lure top students and improve their rankings and reputations. Penn State is continuing the scholarships but hoping to persuade recipients' parents to return the favor. "When you pay that tuition bill, I am asking you to assess whether you 'need' the scholarship and, if you do not, please join me and my husband by making a donation in the amount of the scholarship to the Schreyer Honors College," reads the letter from Kristin Hayes, mother of a junior in the program. "In these challenging economic times, many of our children's fellow Schreyer classmates have significant needs that are becoming increasingly difficult for Schreyer and Penn State to meet." Rudy's PIZZERI Hayes, whose husband serves on the Schreyer board, did not write last year's letter but made follow-up phone calls. No parents reacted negatively, even if they declined to make a donation, she said. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

In the suburb of Tlalnepantla, a water drain broke, knocking down walls and sending cars floating down streets with water 5 feet deep. 1 Drought-plagued Mexico City has been begging for rain.

Associated Press 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAIRY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.2009 NEWS 5A NATIONAL Wildfires ravage California's Angeles National Forest BY ALICIA CHANG AND JOHN ANTCZAK Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Southern California's huge wildfire has turned nearly a quarter of the 1,000-square-mile Angeles National Forest into a moonscape of barren mountains looming above thousands of homes that now face the threat of flash floods and mud-slides. Experts are already evaluating the extent of risk to lives and property as well the impacts of the wildfire on a forest ecosystem that in some areas may not have A deer escapes a wildfire in the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles. Southern California's huge wildfire has turned nearly a quarter of the 1,000-square-mile Angeles National Forest into a moonscape of barren mountains looming above thousands of homes that now could face the threat of flash floods and mudslides. Experts are already evaluating the extent of risk to lives and property as well the impacts of the wildfire on a forest ecosystem that in some areas may not have burned in at least a century. POLYCOPHERA DIGITALIQUE ASSOCIATED PRESS burned in at least a century. The chief concern is the effect the 246-square-mile Station Fire is having on the watershed. Countless canyons, ravines and mills formed watercourses toward communities at the forest's edge. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works maintains a legendary flood-control system including 14 major dams, 500 miles of open storm channel and a nearly 3,000-mile network of underground storm drains capable of carrying storm water and debris through the metropolitan region to the ocean. "Any kind of rain is going to be a mess." The system also includes basins — 30 to 40 in the area affected by the fire — that intercept debris laden flows from the canyons and trap mud and vegetation before the water continues on. "Our concerns are that we will have a larger quantity of debris than normal being captured by our flood control system and, primarily, that individual property owners may be impacted by mudslides or mudflows to their properties," said Mark Prestrell, public works deputy director. An overall assessment to predict the water flow has already begun. The basins are being examined to determine how much they may need to be cleaned out to create capacity, and channels are being examined to make sure they are free of obstruction such as overgrowth. Pestrella said. That work will be done by Oct. 15, which the department marks as the start of the storm season, he said. Although the Station Fire is now the biggest in county history, each element of the flood-control system was engineered for its portion of the watershed and has been tested by previous fires, Pestrella said. Teams will also fan out to assess burned slopes to warn homeowners and determine if temporary structures need to be built. he said. "The system is nearing 100 years old and it has quite a track record for performing during these kind of events." The biggest defense against disastrous flooding this winter may be the weather trend. On June 30, most of southwestern California completed its fourth consecutive season of below-normal rainfall. The region is in for more of the same, said Bill Patzert, the veteran Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist who investigates how climate variation is linked to oceans, including the El Nino warming phenomenon that sometimes leads to dramatically heavy rains in California. Precipitation in downtown Los Angeles has been only 64 percent of normal in those years, according to the National Weather Service. The current El Nino "is definitely wimping out on us," Patzert said. Patzert cautioned that it doesn't take an E Nino to bring heavy "The dice are definitely loaded. When you have a weak El Nino or a disappearing El Nino, it's a below-normal rainfall year," he said. rains and the full picture of the risk the region will face from winter rains won't be known until after the fall — the major fire season in Southern California. He is certain there's trouble enough already. In the forest, the consequences of the fire range from loss of wildlife and habitat to an indefinite closure of a vast area used for hiking, fishing, hunting, mountain biking and even commuting. "Any kind of rain is going to be a mess," he said. "I think you have a hard time designing a more destructive fire For the thousands of hikers, much of the forest may no longer resemble the descriptions in "Trails of the Angeles," the bible for trekkers in the San Gabriels since the early 1970s. from a hiker's standpoint," said Doug Christiansen, now co-author of the guide originated by John W. Robinson. "All that country that it took out contains some of the most heavily used ... and some of the oldest hiking trails on the mountain range." Christiansen said he and his wife hiked in the Angeles a few days before the fire. "I feel like that was I feel like that was probably my last glimpse of the mountain range as I knew it. It's going to be generations before it comes back," he said. There's no doubt the massive fire killed off "thousands and thousands" of animals, mostly small mammals that could not escape "I think you have a hard time designing a more destructive fire from a hiker's standpoint." DOUG CHRISTIANSON Co-author, "Trails of the Angels" the flames, said Peperdine University biologist Lee Kats, who has investigated the impact of wildfires on wildlife. "We have some animals that don't have the best escape mechanism. While birds and larger animals can certainly flee, a lot of smaller ones can't." Kats said. Of particular concern are rodents, reptiles and raccoons — animals that don't get a lot of attention, but play an important role in forest wildlife diversity. Scientists say it is too early to know what kind of long-term damage the Station Fire wrought on the forest ecosystem. Chaparral generally is highly adapted to a fire-prone environment. But researchers are concerned that if chaparral burns too often, invasive weeds and flammable grasses could crowd out native shrubs, transforming the landscape. "If we end up with these areas burning again in a couple of years for whatever reason, then you can end up actually changing native vegetation to exotic vegetation," said Travis Longcore, research associate professor of geography at the University of Southern California. STATE Black-footed ferrets'reintroduction bears mixed results, volunteers say ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLEY — A recent count of the endangered black-footed ferrets found 26 of the mammals at two reintroduction sites in west-central Kansas. Dan Mulhern, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said only seven of the animals were live-trapped. But he and 35 other volunteers who spent a week two weeks ago in the pastures where the ferrets had been released counted the others. The ferrets, the nation's most endangered mammal, were released in 2007 and 2008 on the Smoky Valley Ranch owned by the Nature Conservancy and a ranch operated by Larry and Bette Haverfield in Logan County. The ferrets in Kansas will be monitored for five years before officials decide whether to reintroduce more. "The capture success was lower than I anticipated," Mulhern wrote in his report. "Kits were still with their mothers, and while this made it easier to identify family groups, it may have reduced the overall above-ground activity." One of the captured animals, a female who had been born wild in Kansas prairie, showed signs of having birth to kits, Mulhern said. The Nature Conservancy's conservation director, Rob Manes, said that discovery likely means a third generation of ferrets has been born Mulhern said the number of sightings was generally what he had expected. It means there are at least 26 ferrets on the two ranches, but there could be more, he said. That's partly because finding the ferrets is a challenge for spotters. The animals are nocturnal and generally spotted only when someone shines a light on them and sees the reflection in their eyes. And the area where the animals live is not easy to traverse. on the Kansas plains. Mulhern said he was not sure why some release sites appeared to not house any ferrets. It's possible none were found because of the rough terrain, but it's also possible that the mammals became food for owls, Mulhern said. Major in communications.

EDITORIAL BOARD Forum to teach students about on-campus safety Students should attend the safety forum being held Wednesday in order to better understand the reality of the danger related to sexual assault. Safety should be an issue of utmost importance to students. According to a Sept. 1 press release, Attorney General Steve Six plans to hold a safety forum along with the Riley County and Lawrence Pollice Departments. There will be two sessions — one at Kansas State University and the other here. KANSAN'S OPINION For many students living on campus, this year is their first time living away from home. It is important to realize that living in a new city or environment can pose its own safety hazards. Sergeant Bill Cory with the Lawrence police said they have similar goals. In the past, students at both universities have fallen victim to on-campus sexual attacks. The last attack thought to be connected to a serial rapist occurred in Lawrence in December. This specific rapist has been connected to 13 raps total between both cities, dating back to 2001. Local officials feel it is important to warn and educate students about on-campus safety. "The Riley County Police Department's mission is to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in our community," said Captain Jeff Hooper, Riley County police officer, in the press release. "To that end, we are committed to not only enforce the laws, but to educate the public." "A major part of preventing crime is to make the public aware of ways that they can protect themselves," he said. These tips include parking in well-lit areas, not walking or jogging alone at night, keeping money in a pocket instead of a purse or wallet and portraying a confident and self-reliant person while walking as if you have a mission. On its Web site, lawrencepolice.org, the Lawrence police outline personal safety strategies for the community. Also, the University offers several Recreational Services that can help in self-defense. The KU Tae Kwon Do Club is one such example. This club meets every Monday and Wednesday at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. Emma Brooke, Lawrence senior, has been participating in this club since she has been at the University. She has been learning tae kwon do since she was seven. "My parents have two daughters," she said. "They wanted us to learn self-defense. I just feel more comfortable knowing I can defend myself if it comes to that." Brooke said she felt safe on campus, but certain improvements would help. "The campus could have better lighting," she said. "That would Many incoming students come from a smaller setting than Lawrence. The town and the safety issues that come along with it can be overwhelming. Brooke said she felt the safety forum will help "make people informed on how to protect themselves. Freshmen can be kind of naive if they aren't aware of the situation." Student should use the resources available to them in order to create a safer environment at the University and in Lawrence. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more tips about safety and dangerous situations that can arise. The safety forum will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Alderson Auditorium on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. All students should attend this forum in order to learn more about the related sexual assaults and overall public safety. — Kara Walker for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON SAFETY FORUM TIME: 11 A.M. WEDNESDAY LOCATION: ALDERSON AUDITORIUM IN THE KANSAS UNION N. Bambalulu AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT HE SPOKE BUT THEY WERE TWITTERING AND HEARD NOT HUMOR College start-ups gain popularity NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Last week, I decided to "surf the Web" to find out what the "kids" think is "hip" these "days." At first I thought they meant it was finally cool to fill your college living space with power tools you never intend on actually using. Naturally, the first Web "site" I visited was CNN.com. There I found an article proclaiming "the dorm is the new garage." The CNN.com article tells the tales of a number of college students who came up with their own companies, including a pair of youths who invented foldable shoes for when high heels become too painful. After all, in addition to being a semi-professional newspaper columnist and self-trained self help guru, I also happen to be the owner and operator of several fine small businesses right here on campus. No, the real trend that is supposedly emerging on college campuses is the start-up business. But since CNN apparently thinks it's more important to cover the story of students who came up with their ONE idea by, for some inexplicable reason, wearing high I was outraged. How could CNN not interview me for this story? All of my businesses provide top-notch goods and indispensable services, all at bargain prices. heel shoes to and from class, I must take it upon myself to bring the story of my innovative work to the masses.

STUDENT LIFE Don't blame Facebook: Narcissism is old news Only a fraction of the young adult population is completely free from is completely free from any kind of social networking Web site. Whether it's MySpace, Facebook or Twitter, almost all of us indulge in some form of social networking. Recently, people have suggested that these sites are contributing to a self-obsessed generation. This accusation is ridiculous. It seems as though everyone is always whining about how terrible Generation Y is. An article in The Herald Sun in London accuses us of being greedy and over-confident. I find it interesting that older generations keep finding more and more reasons for why my generation is full of losers. Web sites such as Pointless Banter argue that we are completely devoid of culture. An article on The Huffington Post claims that Generation Y is a nightmare in the workplace. We're even being accused of stupidity by books such as "The Dumbest Generation Ever," by Mark Baurlein. I'm starting to think every generation older than us needs to find a hobby, because frankly I don't think anyone has ever spent so much time complaining about a group of people younger than them. The latest accusation of why everyone my age is a waste of space claims that social networking Web sites have made all of us more narcissistic. Jean Twenge, associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University and author of "The Narcissism Epidemic," based her study on 40 questions that have been asked for decades. Her research shows a jump in narcissism from one in every seven people to one in every four people since the 1980's. The study also showed that 57 percent of college students agree that their peers use social networking sites for TOPICS OF RELEVANCE RICHELLE BUSER It seems convenient that just because there is now a public forum for being narcissistic that older individuals believe today's teens and young adults are more self-absorbed than ever before. Mirrors have been around for hundreds of years, but usually no one wasted their time counting how often or for how long someone else looked in one. Go back to ancient historical times and there's the Greek myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his reflection in a pool. Social networking Web sites did not create these qualities. Those who are obsessed with themselves would likely still be even if the Internet had never been invented. Perhaps older generations are just jealous of our multi-tasking, uber-networking, confident ways. Or maybe they've failed to realize that these traits are and have always been typical for those between the ages of 13 and 25. narcissistic reasons. It's human nature for a person to care about how he or she is perceived by others. I encourage all of you to analyze your habits to make sure you aren't living in a fantasy world where you are the king or queen. I also encourage you to not really care if anyone older badgers you about your generation. Let's all just try to make it a point to remember how annoying it is when your elders are always nagging about your behavior and try to break the cycle when we're no longer the youngest batch.

If complaining were an Olympic event, then Brett Phillippe, you would be Michael Phelps. I have lived in Lawrence for 19 years and not once have I ever seen a cyclist riding in the middle of Iowa Street. However, for argument's sake, let's say that you did. Iowa Street is two lanes of traffic traveling both ways. I assume that the cyclist was in the right lane, taking up the full space. Unacceptable biking etiquette, I agree. But what about the other lane? Was Iowa street so congested that you were unable to pass our environmentally conscious friend? Brett, are you familiar with the term "share the road?" Everyone on the street, in theory, is attempting to reach a destination. Some have a schedule to meet, others travel at their leisure. Why is yours, mine or anyone else's time more important than the thousands of other motorists or cyclists on the road? Every citizen, as taxpayers, has an equal right to use the road in a safe and law-abiding manner. In the situation you presented, the cyclist was following the law, even if he was taking up a full side of the road. Cycling on the shoulder is only courteous, but not mandatory. There are no bike lanes on Iowa Street, and riding on the sidewalk is prohibited everywhere in Lawrence. So, the next time you see a cyclist moving at a slow pace down Iowa Street or any other street take a deep breath, signal and pass them. If you have prior engagements with serious time constraints, try leaving early, because you aren't the only one on the road that's trying to get somewhere. Evan Mielke is a freshman from Lawrence.

Parade proves to be campaign ground for politicians NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Tens of thousands of revelers gathered in Brooklyn to celebrate Caribbean culture Monday at the West Indian American Day Parade, as bright beaded costumes and feather headaddresses also provided a lively backdrop for New York City politicking. With elections around the corner, politicians took advantage of the festivities to push their candidacies. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, running for a third term after laws were changed to allow it, led the parade with former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, who wore a blue "grand marshal" sash. The four-star general recently endorsed the mayor's re-election bid. "Let's go!" Powell said, after the mayor, wearing a bright pink sweater, cut the ribbon to officially kick off the celebration. The annual parade takes place on Labor Day but is modeled on traditional pre-Lenten Carnival festivities. City Comptroller William Thompson Jr., a Democratic mayoral candidate, marched behind with Gov. David Paterson. Other candidates for city council and public advocate handed out fliers and shook hands with spectators who waved the flags of a dozen nations as they waited for the parade to move slowly down Eastern Parkway from Crown Heights to Grand Army Plaza. "There are more and more dignitaries," Lenny Smith said, who comes to the party every year to celebrate his Jamaican heritage. "I think many of us would like to see the costumes." More than 600,000 of West Indian origin live in the city, according to census estimates. Revelers decked out in sequins, glitter and feathers danced to music from competing sound systems as Nayadez Week wore a yellow bikini adorned in black beads and a yellow feather headdress with black sequins, and she felt like a queen in her outfit. "I love how it fits me," she said, also wearing a "Miss Panama, US" sash. the crowds cheered. The thick smell of grilled meats and curry wafted from the food stalls in the parade route. Vendors hawked West Indian specialties like jerk chicken, curried goat and ox tail. While there was no official crowd estimate, the parade is one of the largest in the city. CONSERVATION VENICE ASSOCIATED PRESS People wade through high water on Dec. 1, 2008, by Venice's Rialto Bridge in northern Italy. Italian authorities plan to expand Venice's port into a bustling shipping hub, further endangering the fragile lagoon and contributing to the sinking of the treasured city built on water, a conservation group said Monday. Shipping paths could hurt Venice BYARIELDAVID Associated Press ROME — Italian authorities plan to expand Venice's port into a bustling shipping hub, further endangering the fragile Lagoon and contributing to the sinking of the treasured city built on water, a conservation group said Monday. Venice in Peril, a British fund that works to preserve Venice, said a report it obtained from the local port authority showed plans to accommodate more and bigger ships. The report outlines ongoing and future works including the continued dredging of passages in the shallow lagoon to the industrial zone of Porto Marghera. The port authority is spending at least 260 million euro ($370 million) to dredge inlets and navigation channels. This is particularly concerning for conservationists because dredging and heavy ship traffic are seen as one of the causes of the rising sea level. The rising sea level has increased the frequency of the floods, and in December, Venice suffered its worst deluge in 22 years. Experts warn the problem could further worsen in the coming decades as climate change causes sea levels to rise globally. The port authority report dismisses environmental concerns by declaring them solved thanks to a project to build towering movable barriers designed to rise from the seabed and prevent flooding. The 4.3 billion euro ($6.13 billion) system, named Moses after the Old Testament figure who parted the Red Sea, is expected to be operational by 2014.

Globovision TV — the last major channel on Venezuela's regular airwaves that is strongly critical of President Hugo Chavez — has been formally notified of the investigation by the telecommunications commission. In a statement, the commission said the 24-hour news channel violated broadcasting rules by airing text messages that "allude to violent acts," including a coup attempt against Chavez. Globovision also allegedly sought to "promote public protests, which could generate a climate of tension and nervousness in the population," it said. "There's a clear strategy to control the flow of information and restrict criticism," said Carlos Lauria of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.

SPORTS | 10B COMMENTARY SEASON OPENER PAGE 1B Promising start does not mean easy season BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com Let's resist drawing too many conclusions from Kansas' 49-3 season-opening victory Saturday against overmatched Northern Colorado First impressions can lead us down divergent paths, some more welcome than others. Those found Saturday suggest a special race for the Big 12 North crown this year. They suggest that those sleeping on the Big 12's lesser-hyped half will rue the decision. Saturday did not provide an opportunity for a fair assessment of Kansas. We'll have to wait until Sept. 26, when non-conference play concludes, to have a better idea of what to expect from a new look offensive line and linebacker unit. That's not to say there wasn't lot to like Saturday. Most impressively, Kansas turned in an incredibly balanced offensive performance. Recall last season's non-conference start: 138 rushes for 476 yards vs. 44 pass attempts per game from quarterback Todd Reesing. On Saturday, Kansas amassed 328 rushing yards — 79 and two scores from Reeing, who attempted just 20 passes all night. Senior running back Jake Sharp led with 123 yards and a touchdown. If Kansas can even come close to replicating that production next time, you can bet coach Mark Mangino will breathe easier when Missouri and Nebraska try to keep his team off the division's top perch. Those who left before freshman quarterback Kale Pick and running back Toben Opurm (two touch-downs) took the field missed the two collecting 47 and 79 rushing vards, respectively, in garbage time. "If people are going to play you a certain way, you know, to try to play your passing game then you've got to be able to run the ball," Mangino said. "And if you can't, you're in deep, deep problems. Really deep." That near slip underscored the importance of forcing Missouri and Nebraska — the other two-thirds of the North's premiere trifecta — to think twice about bringing a one-dimensional answer to Kansas' offense. Meanwhile, Missouri sent a defiant and booming response to doubts that it can weather the loss of its departed stalwarts. Sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert, in the start of his career and in front of 64,215 spectators in St. Louis, squashed Illinois and looked as good as Chase Daniel ever did. Gabbert is bigger, stronger and faster — he runs a 4.51 40-yard dash — than Daniel. His 319-yard, four touchdown performance stole the hearts of the scribes on hand. Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock wrote Sunday that he's leaving Jeff George. That cannot be discounted. Nebraska matched Kansas with a 49-3 victory against Florida Atlantic. The assumption heading into this season was that Kansas and Nebraska would be the lone contenders for the North Crown. Missouri would fall off and fall off hard. Be careful taking too much away from just one week. But impressions often trump assumptions. Edited by Jacob Muselmann 74 35 Freshman running back Toben Opurum shakes off three players from the University of Northern Colorado as sophomore offensive lineman Jeff Spikes follows behind. The Jayhawks won their first game of the season on Saturday, 49-3. Opurum rushed for 79 yards on eight carries and added two touchdowns in the game. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Call in the reserves BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com The questions started around the fourth quarter and, from there, kept pouring in. They came from the mouths of wide receivers and linemen, from starters and seldom used backups. And they all wanted to know the same thing: When would freshman backup quarterback Kale Pick see his first snap in a Kansas uniform? In the fourth quarter, there were probably 20 of my teammates that came up to me asking 'Are you going in yet? Are you going in yet?' Pick said. "It just made me more anxious." It was a common question before and during Kansas' game against Northern Colorado Saturday. With the layhawks expected to easily handle the Bears — and they did, walking away with a 49-3 victory — Pick's emergence onto the field with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter marked an all-but-official end to Kansas' first game. t Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/JaysonJenks. After rushing for 47 fourth-quarter yards in his first college game, Pick walked into the Mrkonic Auditorium wearing a dark blue suit. Most of Kansas' remaining players simply wore dress shirts. The Jayhawks opened the game with a 30-yard completion from senior quarterback Todd Reesing to senior wide receiver Kerry Meier. "First game of the season, you know?" Pick said. "You have to look nice." Then, with Northern Colorado attempting to eliminate the pass, Kansas totaled 328 rushing yards while averaging nearly seven yards per carry. "With the players we have at receiver and obviously with Todd, I think they expected us to air it out so they dropped people back," freshman running back Toben Opurum said. "We had to take care of things on the ground." After the game's opening play, Northern Colorado consistently dropped seven and eight defenders back in coverage. If the Bears were going to lose inside Memorial Stadium, it wasn't going to be on highlight-worthy catch-and-runs. In turn, Kansas opted to use the legs of Reesing and senior Jake Sharp to drive the offense. Reesing attempted just 20 passes against Northern Colorado. Sharp rushed 123 yards. "I think they were determined not to let us put up big numbers in the passing game," coach Mark Mangino said. One of the areas with the most intrigue entering Saturday's game was Kansas' restructured offensive line. Breaking in three new starters — with sophomore Jeremiah Hatch playing his first game at center — Kansas rushed for more yards than any game last season. Plus, the Jayhawks didn't allow a sack. "We've been known to be a big passing team," freshman left tackle Tanner Hawkinson said, "To be able to go out there and make a statement on the ground, it's really good for us." The end result was never in doubt — and it shouldn't have been against a team such as Northern Colorado — but, slowly, some of the pre-season questions surrounding the Jayhawks' lineup were answered. Defensively, Kansas used five defensive backs and two linebackers throughout the game to counter Northern Colorado's spread offense. Junior Drew Dudley, senior Arist Wright and freshman Huldon Tharp split most of the time at linebacker for the game's first three quarters. Opurum, who was listed with sophomore Rell Lewis as the backup running back entering the game, solidified his status as sharp's primary reserve. Opurum rushed for 79 yards on eight carries and added two touchdowns. "It will only go up from here." Opurum said. "We're going to play tough opponents and our nonconference schedule isn't a cakewalk. To get the first one out of the way feels good."

"People probably underestimate us," Williamson said. "And now they kind of have to take a second look at us." On Friday, it didn't take long for Kansas to get Long Beach State's attention. Senior midfielder Monica Dolinsky said the Jayhawks came out "on fire," scoring three goals in the first half. Sunday, coach Mark Francis said that his team needed to play every half like Friday's. Twenty minutes later, junior defender Cattlin Noble kicked a high-arching ball that sophomore forward Emily Cressy headed into the back of the net for her second goal of the season. A little later, Dolinsky played a ball through the Long Beach State defenders to freshman forward Whitney Berry, who maneuvered around the keeper and gave the lavhawks a 3-0 lead at halftime.

Coach Mark Mangino on quarterback Todd Reesing's rushing performance Saturday FACT OF THE DAY Reesing's two rushing touchdowns gives him 11 for his career and was the first game in his career that he recorded multiple rushing touchdowns in a game. — KU Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Reesing ran for 79 yards Saturday. Where does that rank for his single-game rushing performances? A: Third behind the 90 yards and 84 yards he rushed for against Colorado in 2006 and 2007 respectively. KU Athletics BIG EAST Cincinnati Bearcats defeat Rutgers 47-15 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Tony Pike threw for a career-high 362 yards and three touchdowns, and Cincinnati used its high-speed offense to hurry past Rutgers 47-15 on Monday The defending Big East champion Bearcats got a jump on the conference race by improving to 4-0 against Rutgers since joining the league. New Scarlet Knights starter Domenic Natale threw three first-half interceptions and the senior left open the possibility that his first career start could be his last. Highly touted fresh man Tom Savage played the second half. Coach Brian Kelly began his third season with the Bearcats as a rising star in the business. With the luxury of a returning starter at quarterback for the first time at UC, Kelly unleashed his fast-paced, Oklahoma-style offense. Pike completed 27 of 34 passes, Gilyard caught eight passes for 89 yards and a score and Isaiah Pead scored two touchdowns. With Pike directing traffic at the line of scrimmage, the Bearcats burned down the field on the opening drive of the game, covering 81 yards in 2:29 without an incomplete pass. Pead capped the drive with a 2-vard TD run. Rutgers' response to UC's speed was a methodical, 20-play, 78-yard touchdown drive, that took more than 10 minutes and was capped by a 5-yard run by Joe Martinek. Ultimately, though, the team breaking in a new quarterback was no match for the one with a seasoned veteran.

Get that man another steak! 49-3" — Edited by Amanda Thompson Associated Press Giants win 9-4 against Padres Juan Uribe contributed two home runs ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Pumped-up Brad Penny dazzled in his home debut and Juan Uribe homered twice, tripled and drove in five runs as the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 9-4 on Monday. Uribe and Edgar Renteria hit back-to-back home runs, helping the Giants remain two games back of the Rockies in the NL wild-card race. Colorado beat Cincinnati. Penny (2-0) didn't give up a bit until Will Venable's triple leading off the fifth. The Padres certainly didn't want a repeat of Jonathan Sanchez's improbable no-hitter against them here on July 10. Clayton Richard (4-2) to put the Giants ahead, then homered in the team's five-run third. After Uribe's two-run shot, Renteria gave San Francisco its fifth set of consecutive home runs this season.

Penny struck out six and walked one Nick Hundley hit a two-run homer off Alex Hinshaw with two outs in the ninth for the Padres. After the home run, Penny retired the final five batters he faced Pablo Sandoval and Bengie Molina also drove in runs for the Giants, who started off a key homestand against the division. over seven innings in his first start at AT&T Park. He won at Philadelphia in impressive fashion Wednesday, two days after he signed with the Giants following his release by Boston. Adrian Gonzalez hit a towering solo home run off Penny in the sixth, the slugger's second in as many games. Uribe hit a three-run shot in the seventh for his eighth career multihomer game. Gonzalez admired his drive to dead center before starting a slow trot. Penny apparently took issue with that and pumped both arms in the direction of San Diego's dugout two batters later after a called third strike to Venable ended the inning.

Freddy Sanchez had a pair of singles for the Giants in his return from the disabled list after missing 19 games with a strained left shoulder.

THE MLB TORONTO — For once, good pitching and hitting clicked on the same day for the Minnesota Twins. Major league batting leader Joe Mauer got three more hits and keyed a five-run first inning that sent Minnesota over the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 Monday. Minnesota Twins win with solid hitting and pitching "That's kind of been our thing all year, that's why we've been pretty much around. 500 is we haven't really hit for a long stretch of time when we've pitched for a long stretch of time," first baseman Justin Morneau said. "It's kind of been a little inconsistent at both ends." Kar ning Mauer doubled and singled twice, boosting his average to .369. He delivered a two-run single in the first inning.

Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2009 SPORTS 3B NFL 93 Chiefs defense shows signs of life Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Tank Tyler (93) runs drills during NFL football training camp in River Falls, WI. A defense that was the main culprit in last year's 2-14 debacle is beginning to sit, showing signs of slowly returning to life. What's more, in a wild reform of form, the Chiefs are even applying pressure to the passer. ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Buried beneath Kansas City's 0-4 preseason record and all the anxiety over a stinky offense, a bit of good news is trying to peek out. A defense that was the main culprit in last year's 2-14 debacle is beginning to stir, showing signs of slowly returning to life. What's more, in a wild reversal of form, the Chiefs are even applying pressure to the passer. Yes, Chiefs fans, when one of your guys tackles the other team's quarterback behind the line of scrimmage, it's still called a "sack." "It seemed like they were talking about it every time I turned on ESPN." That's a term Kansas Citianshad little occasion to use all through the 2008 season, when the Chiefs set a 16-game NFL record for pass-rushing futility by taking the quarterback to the ground a paltry 10 times. They needed a sack in the season finale at Cincinnati just to break into double figures. TANK TYLER Defensive lineman Kansas City Chiefs "It seemed like they were talking about it every time I turned on ESPN," defensive lineman Tank Tyler said with a wince. "Then when we went back home, we got teased all the time — 'You guys can't sack the quarterback.' I blamed myself." But it was easy to put all that out of their mind, as long as they avoided friends, canceled the newspaper and stayed glued to the Weather Channel. They can sack the quarterback now, at least in the preseason. In four games, admittedly all losses, the Chiefs racked up seven sacks out of their new 3-4 alignment. Also a big help, they say, is a more confident and aggressive attitude hewn from head coach Todd Haley's unrelenting in-your-face approach. "I'm encouraged defensively overall," said Haley. "A lot of guys were asked to do some different things, some things they weren't used to doing. And most of them responded." In a bit of a surprise, two-year starting safety Bernard Pollard was released in the final cutdown. Seeing plenty of action at that position will be veteran Mike Brown, who signed a free agent contract in June. Almost immediately after taking over from Herm Edwards Haley installed the 3-4 defense. Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, after seeing his Chiefs outscored 440-291, got out of town ahead of the posse and was replaced by Clancy Pendergast, also coming over from Arizona. Also taking a big hand is linebackers coach Gary Gibbs, who was defensive coordinator the three previous years in New Orleans. And making a major on- field contribution to this massive overhaul of one of the league's worst defenses has been veteran linebacker Mike Vrabel. "Everybody on the defense motivates each other, especially a guy like Mike Vrabel," Tyler said. "He made a couple of plays last week (against St. Louis) that got me real excited. He's an older veteran and plays with a lot of passion and enthusiasm and it feeds off to a lot of the young guys." Brought over in a trade with New England along with quarterback Matt Cassel, Vrabel's experience on four Super Bowl teams has provided badly needed leadership and locker room presence in a place that's witnessed only six wins the past two seasons. "It makes a lot of difference because it's not often that you hear guys speak up and talk out there," Tyler said. "That's one of the leaders we have. Everybody is picking up their game a lot." "Everybody on the defense motivates each other, especially a guy like Mike Vrabel." Tyler, moved from defensive tackle to nose tackle, had a team-best nine tackles in the 17-9 loss to the Rams. That's unusual for the nose tackle in a 3-4 alignment TANKTYLER Defensive lineman Kansas City Chiefs designed to let ends and linebackers make the bulk of the stops. "Coach told me, 'You're in the middle of the defense. Every play is yours.' And I kind of took that to heart and I wanted to just go out and play my position and make plays." Tyler said. Since he was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round in 2007, Tyler is 6-26. He and his teammates are tired of avoiding people, weary of grabbing the TV remote and then hesitating. "It doesn't feel good to lose and we don't ever want to get that losing feeling back." he said. "This is a new season for us." SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) 8 Junior midfielder Erin Ellefson centers the ball during the first half of Saturday's game against Rhode Island. Ellefson played 66 minutes and had one shot on goal in the game, as the Javahwets went on to win 3-1. it's hard to keep that going." Francis said. "I didn't feel like we were as efficient with the ball and then the chances that they got came from us making some poor decisions. We can't do that." Long Beach State's Karina Camocho scored in the 76th minute, but the Jayhawks squeaked Long Beach State's attack for the rest of the half. On Sunday, Francis thought his team took a step backward in the first half even though it defeated Rhode Island by the same score as it defeated Long Beach State on Friday. "I think a lot of the decisions we made were just tired decisions," Francis said. "It was probably my fault, we probably should have made changes earlier." Francis' team also had a team-record eight offsides penalties. Francis said the whistles were frustrating because the team had watched Rhode Island on tape and knew the team would try to draw Kansas offsides. "It took away a lot of opportunities that we had a good buildup with good ball in." Francis said about the offsides calls. "But we were a step too far forward which is just a focus issue." Williamson recorded her first college goal after converting a cross from Cressy in the 41st minute. However, Rhode Island quickly responded on a header by Rhode Island defender Amanda Thomas. Williamson said she thought the defenders just lost their marks in the box and that allowed Thomas to find space. At halftime, Francis decided to make a couple changes to the line-up. subbing in senior Julie Hanley to replace freshman Kat Liebetrau as goalkeeper and moving senior Kim Boyer from forward to left back to replace Noble. In the 58th minute, a Kansas free kick hit a Rhode Island defender and fell to the feet of Dolinsky, who scored what would end up being the game winner from eight yards out. Dolinsky didn't talk up the goal afterwards: She admitted she barely got to the ball before it went into the back of the net. But as Francis said after the game, the team found a way to win. Kansas takes on Denver at the Colorado College Invitational Friday in Colorado Springs.

Leading 3-1, he gave up a leadoff single to Victor Martinez in the eighth and was replaced by Tony Pena, who struck out Jason Bay and Mike Lowell. Quentin's two-out, two-run homer in the bottom half off reliever Hideki Okajima put the White Sox up four.

Of course, Waggener's introduction to Laptad was getting sacked by him twice during the season opener on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. In Kansas' 48-3 victory against Northern Colorado Laptad had two sacks, one in the second and one in the third quarter. The first sack was during Northern Colorado's first drive of the quarter. Laptad hit Waggener for a loss of seven yards, forcing Northern Colorado to punt the ball on the next play. Laptad said that during the offseason, Kansas' defense had emphasised putting more pressure on the quarterback and that last night's performance was a step toward that. He said the team was working to make big plays like this each day in practice and to keep making progress. "It was just nice to go out and hit somebody else for a change," Laptad said. In the third quarter, Laptad got Waggener again, this time with a loss of nine yards, which forced Northern Colorado to punt the ball away. But Laptad said he wasn't the only one who was responsible for the plays. Follow Big 12 football writer Hallie Mann at twitter.com/ halliemann11. He said on both of the sacks there was another guy who helped him make the play. In this instance, it was defensive tackle Steven Foster who was able to give Laptad the opening to make the sack. Laptad isn't new to making big plays and stopping the other team's offense in their tracks. Last season Laptad had seven sacks, one of which was a safety during the game against Missouri, which Kansas won 40-37. Laptad said he felt more confident this season as an upperclassman and was able to make more plays. t "I'm reading plays better and I'm able to react and make more plays than I used to," Laptad said. Laptad and the Jayhawks will play the University of Texas-El Paso this Saturday in El Paso, Texas at 6:30 p.m. Besides the two sacks, Laptad had another tackle for a loss against Northern Colorado's Waggener in the first quarter. 2 5 Edited by Abby Olcese Rvan Waoooner/KANSAN 1 Junior defensive end Jake Laptad sacks northern Colorado quarterback Bryan Waggener for the first sack, in the second quarter, came with a loss of seven yards.

Reeing scrambled, improvised and generally made good decisions with the football. Meier plucked passes out of the air across the middle of the field. And Sharp used his speed to gain chunks of yards on the ground. That the Jayhawks easily defeated the Bears isn't surprising. In fact, it's exactly what everyone expected.

Quote of the Game Coach Mark Mangino on what he said to cornerback Anthony Davis after he was flagged for his third pass interference penalty: "Uh, don't do that." Mangino Game Balls (in honor of Terry Allen) 3. Chris Harris: Harris consistently made plays against Northern Colorado. He finished with seven tackles and was disruptive from his nickel back position. 2. Kale Pick/Toben Opurum: Pick and Opurum get the nod because it's their first game. Pick rushed for 47 yards on three carries and Opurum scored two touchdowns. Plus, watching the two freshmen play was the most exciting part of the game. 1. Todd Reesing: Easy pick here. Reesing passed for 208 yards, rushed for another 79 and added four total touchdowns. Not a bad opening for his senior campaign. Delay of Games 3. Rell Lewis: It's not his fault, but Lewis had zero carries against the Bears. Coach Mark Mangino said the Jayhawks simply didn't have enough time to use Lewis. Still, it would be nice to see what Lewis could have done. 1. Anthony Davis: Davis simply struggled. It's that easy. he was whistled for three pass interference calls and Mangino said "he panicked a little bit." 2. Jhnathan Wilson: Wilson finished with zero catches.Not a great start to the season. But Wilson will put up bigger numbers as the season progresses. Play of the Game Reesing zigzagged across the field before floating a 16-yard pass to Tertavian Ingram with a defender in his face. Ingram caught the ball high in the air and lunged into the endzone for a touchdown. Classic Reesing; Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... Kansas scored 49 points and won easily despite playing without junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. The Jayhawks' offense should only continue to improve when Briscoe returns next week. Plus, not every team will be as focused on stopping the pass as Northern Colorado was on Saturday night. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... The schedule only gets tougher. Northern Colorado was a guaranteed victory. Kansas won't have any more of those on its schedule from here on out. Coach Mark Mangino on what he said to cornerback Anthony Davis after he was flagged for his third pass interference penalty:"Uh, don't do that." QUOTE OF THE GAME ... LINEBACKER SITUATION ... If the first half was any indication, junior Drew Dudley, senior Arist Wright and freshman Huldon Tharp will see most of the time at linebacker. Those three rotated at the two linebacker spots — Kansas played five defensive backs and two linebackers — with Dudley and Wright starting. Expect to see those two often, at least during nonconference play. D-LINE DOING ITS JOB? Hard to tell. Kansas had three sacks – two by the defensive line – and held Northern Colorado to just 247 total yards. But the defensive line never really stood out. Junior defensive end Jake Laptad finished with two sacks. Facing pass-heavy UTEP next week will be a better measuring stick. BIGGEST ANSWER ... Toben Opurum is the No. 2 running back. Opurum carried the ball eight times for 79 yards. Although most of it was in mop up duty, he still looked impressive STILL QUESTIONING ... GOOD. BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Rell Lewis, Lewis didn't get any carries against Northern Colorado. What, if any, will his contribution be this season? FINAL THOUGHT ... Exactly what everyone expected. Todd Reesing ran around and made some big plays. Jake Sharp was fast and Kerry Meier made some nice catches. No one should be shocked by this result. Original prediction: Kansas 49-14. OK, so we weren't great this week. We figured Northern Colorado might score a cheap touchdown late when the game was clearly already over. The Bears missed a field goal and actually got worse as the game went on. We're going to say we're somewhere between bad and good on this one. Maybe so-so? LOOKING AHEAD ... At UTEP. UTEP possesses an explosive offense — and no defense. Still, UTEP is a team capable of pulling an upset. Playing on the road doesn't make it any easier, either.

Garlingen led the team with 20 kills, her seventh career match where she has reached 20-plus kills. The Jayhawks defeated the Lady Bisons 3-1. BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Seeing Florida International celebrate its Jayhawk Invitational victory over the weekend left a bad taste in the mouth of the Kansas volleyball team. "It feels terrible to have someone come onto your court and win your tournament," senior middle blocker Paige Mazour said. "But that's exactly what we are going to try and do next week." Junior outside hitter Karina Garlington said coach Ray Beachard laid down a very simple goal for the team: Celebrate on Arkansas' home court during the Arkansas Tournament next weekend. Kansas went 2-1, finishing second in the tournament, and improved to 4-2 for the season. Mazour, t Follow Kansan sports writer Zach Getz at twitter.com/zgetz. alongwithjunior defensive specialist Melissa Manda, made the Jayhawk Invitational All-Tournament Team. Kansas defeated Lipscomb the first match of the tournament 3-1. Kansas started shakily with several miscues and could never get over the hump, losing the first set 20-25. The teams were even at the start of the second set until Kansas went on a run and scored 12 out of 13 points, winning 25-14 easily. Kansas fought hard and finished off Lipscomb 25-23 in the third and fourth sets. Garlington said the team handled the close situations well and learned from the pressure. "We dealt with the pressure set-by-set and took it point by point," Garlington said. "If you keep grinding it out you will get some victories." Kansas lost the second match against Florida International 1-3. During the first two sets Kansas and Florida International battled back and forth and split the sets 25-23 and 23-25. Kansas looked sluggish starting the third set and could not overcome the 14 errors, losing the "It feels terrible to have someone come onto your court and win your tournament." PAIGE MAZOUR Senior middle blocker 22-25. The fourth set was also close but Kansas could not put Florida international away, losing 22-25. "We just never could get into a rhythm," Bechard said. "They were a little more composed than we were." Garlington and Bechard said Florida International was a good team that was similar to the caliber of teams Kansas would see in Big 12 Conference play. "It was more on us and we made a lot of errors that we could've controlled ourselves," Mazour said. In the third match Kansas defeated Creighton 3-1. In the first set Kansas fell behind early after Creighton scored seven straight points and led the set until the end. Kansas then made a comeback and scored five in a row, winning 26-24. The second set was another back-and-forth dog fight that seemed to be the theme of the weekend with Kansas, Kansas looked strong early but faltered late, losing the set 28-30. Kansas came out strong in the third and fourth set winning without much drama 25-21 and 25-17, respectively. Bechard said making plays and committing fewer errors allowed Kansas to defeat Creighton. "Sometimes you wait around hoping for other teams to make a mistake when you need to make some plays and tonight we made plays," Beard said. Kansas will face North Texas Arkansas and Jacksonville State this weekend at the Arkansas Tournament.

MLB Rockies victory breaks Reds' winning streak DENVER — Ian Stewart broke a tiebreaking home run in the eight inning, lifting the Colorado Rockies over Cincinnati 4-3 Monday and ending the Reds' seven-game winning streak. The NL wild card-leading Rockies won their fourth in a row despite losing Troy Tulowitzki. The smooth-fielding shortstop left in the seventh after an RBI single because of a strained lower back and was listed as day-to-day. Colorado rallied to tie it in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Todd Helton and a two-out single from Tulowitzki. After his hit just over the head of second baseman Brandon Phillips, Tulowitzki grabbed his lower back. Manager Jim Tracy and trainer Keith Dugger quickly came out to check on him. Tulowitzki lightly jogged down the line, before being replaced by Omar Quintanilla. - Rafael Betancourt (2-1) earned the win with a perfect eighth, while Franklin Morales, filling in for the injured Huston Street, picked up his fourth save in five chances. Stewart hit his 23rd homer of the season off reliever Carlos Fisher (1-1). The right-handed Fisher was called up Monday from Single-A Sarasota. Helton drove in two runs as the Rockies beat the Reds for a sixth straight time. The Reds had two on and none out in the ninth, but Morales got Gomes to fly out and then罗腾 was thrown out on the back end of a double-steal attempt. With Phillips on third, Morales struck out Darnell McDonald to end the game.

Oklahoma State won the game 24-10. Missouri and Oklahoma State silence the doubters in Big 12 BY HALLIE MANN hmann@kansan.com www.twitter.com/hallien11 MIZZON The 53,000 fans who packed the newly renovated stadium in Stillwater, Okla., Saturday finally got to see what they've waited weeks for: Oklahoma State defeating Georgia in the season opener. In the North, Missouri fans travelled all the way to St. Louis, Mo., to watch the Tigers bring home the Arch Rivals trophy for the third year in a row against Illinois. Both teams proved that the Big 12 will be a force to be reckoned with this year in the BCS. ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert badd back to pass during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against illinois on Saturday in St. Louis. Oklahoma State had serious preseason media coverage and speculation but Saturday's 24-10 victory showed that the team deserved its No. 9 AP ranking going into the game. KEY STATS The 10 points Oklahoma State allowed to Georgia was the fewest points allowed to a ranked opponent since a 45-3 victory against Arizona State in 1984. The Cowboys' young defense led the way for the victory with a forced fumble, an interception and multiple sacks during the game. "It's showing people that we are out here playing for real; we are for real," Oklahoma State cornerback Terrance Anderson said in a press release. The Oklahoma offense showed off its strength in both the passing and running game against Georgia. Quarterback Zac Robinson connected with wide receiver Dez Bryant for two touchdown passes in the second and fourth quarters highlighting the dynamic duo's abilities. But Robinson scored on his own with a quarterback sneak in the third quarter.

The Cowboys could have done without the 15 penalties that cost them more than 100 yards. Gundy said that the team needed to get grounded on Sunday's practice from this victory and get ready for the next game. "We have to get back down to earth and have a good practice," Gundy said in a teleconference. Missouri also answered any doubts that fans may have had about its offense and new quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Gabbert completed 25 of 33 passes and scored three touchdowns for the Tigers. Gabbert passed for 319 yards but he also made a strong impression on the ground by rushing for 39 yards and one touchdown. Besides the offensive pressure, the Tigers were consistent on special teams as well. Kicker Grant Ressel made his first appearance for Missouri making three field goals, including one 44-yard kick, and four extra points. Coach Garv Pinkel said he was pleased with the performance from special teams and that they would continue to work hard this week in practice. "The bigger game is going to be next week," Pinkel said in a press release. "I told them in the locker room this is going to be the toughest Tuesday and Wednesday practices they've ever seen." And next will be another non-conference matchup for Missouri and Oklahoma State. Next Saturday, Missouri faces Bowling Green (1-0) at home and Oklahoma State faces Houston (1-0) at home. — Edited by Megan Morriss TEXAS Longhorns go to Northwest for farthest trip in 34 years Instead of heading to Arkansas this weekend, the Texas Longhorns will make their fastest trip to the Northwest in 34 years to play Wyoming. Originally, this would have been the spot for Texas to resume its series with former Southwest Conference rival Arkansas. But the Razorbacks requested that the game be pushed back to another season to open up the opportunity for them to instead play Texas A&M this season in the new Cowboys Stadium. The Longhorns filled the opening with a Cowboys team, and their longest trip in that direction since playing at Washington in 1975. TEXASTECH 15 25 25 ASSOCIATED PRESS West with No. 20 BYU, which beat No. 3 Oklahoma, though coach Mack Brown said that wasn't necessary to get his attention. "Wyoming beat Tennessee in Knoxville last year, and they beat Virginia in the opening game two years ago at their place (23-3), and they've got a new coach from Missouri," Brown said. "They're 1-0 and we're going on the road. I don't think we need any more motivation." Wyoming is in the Mountain Texas Tech's Taylor Potts, right, throws a pass under pressure from North Dakota's Damon Andrews during their game Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. Potts threw for two touchdowns in the game that Texas Tech won 38-13. AT LUBBOCK Potts leads Texas Tech to its victory against North Dakota ASSOCIATED PRESS LUBBOCK, Texas — Taylor Potts threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others to lead Texas Tech past North Dakota 38-13 on Saturday night. The Red Raiders (1-0) scored three of their five TDs on the ground, unusual for a team known for its pass-happy offense. Potts, in his first start, got his rushing touchdowns on sneaks from 1 yard out. He also had three interceptions, one more than he had in the two seasons he played backup. North Dakota safety Joel Schwenzfeier intercepted all of them to tie a school record. Tech kept the Fighting Sioux secondary wondering which receiver was Potts' target. He was 34-of-48 for 405 yards to 10 receivers. Mitch Sutton got North Dakota's lone touchdown on a 9-yard run in the final quarter to whittle the margin to 28-13. Potts' second touchdown pass came late in the game when he hit Adam James for an 18-yard score to put the Red Raiders up 38-13. North Dakota (0-1) was overmatched throughout, but the Fighting Sioux managed to keep the Red Raiders from blowing them out. Last year, Texas Tech averaged 44 points per game, so North Dakota's defense managed what many schools last year couldn't: they stayed relatively close throughout. Before the season began Texas Tech coach Mike Leach led Potts that if he avoided interceptions and sacks he would be fine. Last year, Graham Harrell, who had two 5,000-yard passing seasons to set an NCAA record, threw nine interceptions in 13 games. Expectations were low for North Dakota, but it wanted to keep the Red Raiders offense off the field. Potts' three interceptions came in 48 attempts. The two he threw as a backup came in 85 attempts. The victory gave Leach his 77th victory at Tech. He is six victories short of surpassing Spike Dykes for the most wins by a Tech coach. RESIDENCE AT LAKESIDE FIELDHOUSE smartbreak That's right!

Oh. how times have changed. Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson threw for 447 combined yards, setting a school record and helping the Hogs to a 48-10 win over Missouri State on Saturday night. Arkansas had never passed for over 400 yards in a game, but the Razorbacks surpassed that number with ease in their 2009 opener. ASSOCIATED PRESS Arkansas wide receiver Jarius Wright carries during the second quarter of the game against Missouri State in Little Rock, Ark., Saturday. "It's neat," Mallett said of the record. "I hope we try to break it every week." ARKANSAS 4 Mallett, who sat outlast season after transferring from Michigan, went 17 for 22 for 309 yards and a touchdown, and Wilson threw for 138 yards and two TDs in relief. Arkansas' Michael Smith, who rushed for over 1,000 yards last year, carried only four times for 43 yards and a touchdown. "I was happy with the way our offensive passing game executed," Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. "Protection, the timing, the ball coming out of the hand." "At one point I told the guys in the booth, 'I feel like I am calling a pass every first down,' Petrino said. "Usually it is about 50 percent pass and 50 percent run on first-and-10." in 2005. The score was similar this time around, but the Razorbacks' offense looked much different. Arkansas rushed for 483 yards in a 49-17 win over Missouri State "At one point I told the guys in the booth, 'I feel like I am calling a pass at every first down." Wilson finished 13 of 19 with an interception. He and Mallett nearly combined to break the school record of 31 completions, set in 1971. Coming off a 5-7 season, the Razorbacks (1-0) are expecting a big improvement in Petrino's second year as their coach. They were in control throughout the game BOBBY PETRINO Arkansas coach against Missouri State (0-1). Dennis Johnson took the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to give Arkansas the lead 18 seconds into the game. "That kickoff return was demoralizing." Missouri State cornerback Cedric Alvis said. The quick start was quite an omen for the Hogs, who fumbled away the first kickoff of last season. Jarius Wright was open all over the field for the Razorbacks and finished with six catches for 139 yards. His 58-yard reception from Mallett set up Broderick Green's 1-yard scoring run that made it 21-3. Green, a transfer from Southern California, carried several times in short-yardage situations with mixed results. In the second quarter, Arkansas had first-and-goal from the 5 before Green was stopped on three straight runs. Wilson had to throw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Van Stumon on fourth down to make it 28-3. In the final minute of the half, another drive stalled near the goal line and Arkansas' Alex Tejada kicked a 20-yard field goal. Cody Kirby, who played his high school football in northwest Arkansas, went 12 of 20 for 107 yards with two interceptions for the Bears. Missouri State scored its only touchdown in the second quarter after the Razorbacks were called for pass interference on fourth down. Jonathan Davis' 2-yard scoring run made it 28-10. Joe Adams took a short pass from Mallett and broke down the right sideline for a 40-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and Wilson added a 1-yard touchdown pass to Cobi Hamilton in the fourth. Petrino said Arkansas wide receiver London Crawford would be X-rayed Sunday and could be out a while after injuring his shoulder. HOUSTON — Hunter Pence homered and drove in three runs as the Houston Astros completed a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-3 win Monday over the NL East leaders. Astros earn four-game sweep against Phillies MLB Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez hit back-to-back homers in the fourth against Houston starter Brian Moehler. Howard also drove in a run with a first-inning single. Pence hit a two-run homer and an RBI double for the Astros, who've won eight of their last nine home games. Michael Bourn drew a bases-loaded walk from Chan Ho Park to force home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning. Jamie Moyer became the Phillies' last-minute starter when J.A. Happ was unable to pitch because of a right oblique strain. Moyer got a no-decision after allowing two runs and three hits in six innings. With the Phillies leading 1-0, Moyer walked Miguel Tejada in the second and Pence drove a full-count pitch over the railroad tracks in left, his third home run of the series. Howard and Ibanez homered in the fourth, the second time this season the two sluggers have connected in consecutive at-bats. Moehler walked ibanez and Jayson Werth with two outs in the sixth and Sammy Gervacio relieved. Pedro Feliz walked on four pitches to load the bases, but Gervacio got Carlos Ruiz to fly out. Dodgers lead NL West, defeat Diamondbacks PHOENIX — Manny Ramirez hit his 17th home run of the season before being ejected and Los Angeles late-season acquisitions Vicente Padilla and Ronnie Belliard contributed to the Dodgers' 7-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ramirez hit a solo homer in a three-run second inning off right-hander Max Scherzer (9-9) but was tossed after flinging his bat and helmet to the ground near home plate after striking out to end the third. Bellard and James Loney also hit bases-empty homers for the Dodgers, who have won all three starts Padilla (2-0) has made joining the rotation Aug. 27. Belliard, acquired from Washington on Aug. 30, had three hits and two RBIs, finishing a triple short of the cycle. He had an RBI double and Russell Martin hit a sacrifice fly in two-run eighth inning, which began when Juan Pierre, Ramirez's replacement, singled and stole second and third. Pierre added an RBI single in the ninth. Dodgers right-hander Jonathan Broxton got a four-out save, entering to strike out Justin Upton with runners on first and second and two outs in the eighth inning. Broxton has 33 saves in 38 chances. The Dodgers (82-57) lead the NL West by $3\frac{1}{2}$ games with 23 games to play and remain tied with St. Louis for the best record in the National League. Associated Press GOLF I steve Stricker hits his approach shot on the second hole during the final round of the Deutsme Bank Championship in Norton, Mass., Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Two consecutive birdies win championship for Stricker ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTON, Mass. — Steve Stricker can build a strong case for the Deutsche Bank Championship as the biggest victory of his career. It was his first win with Tiger Woods in the tournament. His third victory of the season moved him up to a career-high No. 2 in the world ranking. And he replaced Woods atop the FedEx Cup standings. What satisfied Stricker the most, however, was how he won. In a wild Labor Day finish on the TPC Boston, where a half-dozen players came to the par-5 18th hole with hopes of winning, Stricker finished with back-to-back birdies for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot victory Monday. "Knowing I had to make a couple of birdies and actually doing it means a lot," he said. Stricker finished at 17-under 267 and earned $1.35 million. He also built a 909-point lead over Woods in the FedEx Cup with two tournaments remaining. Because the points are reset after next week in Chicago, Stricker is assured of being no worse than the No. 2 seed in the Tour Championship with a chance to win the $10 million prize. Asked if it was gratifying to bounce back one week later and have another putt on the 18th hole, Stricker laughed. "This one was more my length, I'll tell you that," he said. "I liked this 1-footer." Stricker also won the opening playoff event in 2007, and he now has had 28 of 40 rounds in the 60s during this postseason bonanza. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing - jobs announcements ...

It is still unclear whether Cassel will play in Sunday's opening game. ASSOCIATED PRESS Quarterback's playing status still uncertain ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Matt Cassel appeared on Kansas City's practice field Monday for the first time since injuring his left knee on Aug. 29, but his status for Sunday's opener at Baltimore remained unclear. Cassel, who signed a six-year contract for a guaranteed $28 million, injured his knee on the third play of the third preseason game against Seattle. He was in full uniform Monday and did most of the conditioning drills in the short period the media were permitted to watch. If he does not start at Baltimore, the Chiefs would probably go with Brodie Croyle. Coach Todd Haley was evasive whether Casel would play Sunday. "I think that as the week goes on, we'll know a little bit more," said Haley. "We'll know a little bit more with Matt for sure. But it was good that he was out there. He was able to get through some things. As the week goes on a little further, we'll know a little more as far as where he's at" Cassel's backups, Croyle and Tyler Thigpen, were both inconsistent as the Chiefs went 0-4 in Haley's first preseason as their coach. Cassel, who stepped in for Croyle saw the most action and was 22 of 44 for 271 yards. The offense scored only two touchdowns in four preseason games. an injured Tom Brady with New England last year and won 11 games, hit 11 of 19 passes for 114 yards and one TD. "It's good this is a long week. That will help with anybody who's nicked up?" said Haley, "I would say generally you would need to have a full practice to have a chance to play. Generally, you need to have a full Friday practice to have a chance" MLB KC ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City Royals' Billy Butler celebrates in the dugout after hitting a two-run home run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in Kansas City, Mo. Royals find victory against the Angels Success ends losing streak JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Billy Butler homered twice and had four RBIs, and the Kansas City Royals ended a nine-game losing streak to the Los Angeles Angels with a 6-3 win on Monday. Kansas City played solid defense, had 11 hits and survived a scare from its shaky bullpen to beat Los Angeles for the first time since May 7, 2008. Butler hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning off Ervin Santana (7-8) and a solo shot off Jose Arredondo in the eighth for his second multihomer game this season. The AL West-leading Angels continued their September hiting funk, failing to take advantage of numerous opportunities against Royals starter Kyle Davies (7-9). Los Angeles, which hit .206 the first five games of the homered, the Angels stranded Vladimir Guerrero at third after he doubled and advanced on shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt's wild throw from about 15 feet. month, left runners in scoring position in four of Davies' five innings and stranded 12 overall. The right-hander walked six and allowed baserunners in every inning, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first, leaving runners in scoring position twice more the next three innings. After Abreu Davies didn't come out for the sixth after allowing a run on five hits. He threw 46 balls among his 96 pitches. Bobby Abreu hit a solo homer in the fifth inning and just missed another in the seventh off Jamey Wright. Roman Colon allowed a double in the eighth and Joakim Soria walked one and struck three the ninth for his 22nd save in 25 chances. That left it up to Kansas City's house-of-cards bullpen with a 5-1 lead in the seventh. Abreu's double and a walk began the Angels' rally and Kyle Farnsworth would consecutive run-scoring singles to Torii Hunter and Kendry Morales. Bobby Abreu hit a solo homer in the fifth inning and just missed another in the seventh off Jamey Wright. The rest of the Angels missed most of their chances, particularly against Davies. Santana had lowered his ERA almost two points (to 5.68) over the past month, but wasn't nearly as sharp against the Royals. The right-hander needed 49 pitches to get through the first two innings, giving up consecutive RBI singles in the first to Mike Jacobs and Alberto Callaspo through the same hole on the right side. Santana also left a 2-2 changeup over the plate in the fifth to Butler, who hit it 442 feet for a two-run homer that put Kansas City up 4-1.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter failed to gain ground on Lou Gehrig, not that he slowed the New York Yankees. Cheered before the game and ahead of every at-bat, Jeter stayed stuck at 2,718 hits. He did match another Yankees great — the first game was his 2,116st, tying Yogi Berra for third on the Yankees list behind only Mickey Mantle (2,401) and Lou Gehrig (2,164). Facing Tarrpa Bay lost its fifth straight, equaling its season high, and could be in for more bad news. Slugger Carlos Pena was hit on his left hand by CC Sabatha's pitch in the first and went for X-rays. After a sparkling pitcher's duel between Sabathia and Matt Garza, New York went ahead off Lance Cormier (2-2), dropping Tampa Bay's bulpen to 2-9 since Aug. 6. Nick Swisher walked leading off the eighth and took third on a single by Mark Teixeira, who advanced on right fielder Gabe Kapler's throwing error. After an intentional walk to Alex Rodriguez, Cano hit a flyout to center that scored pinch-runner Jerry Hairston Jr. Chad Bradford relieved. Jorge Posada hit an RBI single off the right-field wall and Eric Hinske had a sacrifice fly. Sabathia matched his season high with 10 strikeouts and allowed one run, three hits and four walks in seven innings. He is 6-0 with 2.31 ERA in eight starts since 6-2 loss at Tampa Bay on July 28.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL Missouri Tigers, coach striving to prove worth Missouri coach Gary Pinkel already senses a prove-something attitude from his team. Even though they played in the last two Big 12 championship games and were briefly the nation's No. 1 team during that span, there are some underwhelming expectations for the Tigers this season after quarterback Chase Daniel finished his senior season and receiver-kick returner Jeremy Maclin left early for the NFL. During the Big 12 coaches conference call Monday, Pinkel described the game as "our opportunity to show that we've got a decent football team, and I'm proud of the way they played."

KANSAS OR TIMESONS 206 CLASSIC Wildcats barely win season opener Associated Press JOHN MARSHALL BIG 12 FOOTBALL MANHATTAN — A sellout crowd filled the stadium, making it look like a giant bowl of purple jelly beans. More than 300 former players returned and lined the Kansas State sideline wearing their jerseys. Carson Coffman threw two touchdown passes to Attrail Snipe, and Kansas State had a less-than-stellar start to the second Bill Snyder era, holding off Massachusetts 21-17 on Saturday. What they got was a dud. A win, but still a dud. the triumphant return of the coach who's name adorns the stadium. Kansas State bumbled its way through Snyder's first game in three years, turning it over three times and allowing a blocked punt return for a touchdown to fritter away most of an 18-point halftime lead. The Wildcats had one good quarter (the second) and spent most of the second half as if they were playing in sand, managing They were all there to witness a meager 126 total yards and no points. "We've got a lot of improvements to make," Coffman said. "I was kind of embarrassed by our performance, especially in the second half. We got off to a slow start, picked it up and got shut out in the second half. We can't do that if we want to win here."

The doctoral student in electrical engineering studied snow depths there in a propeller plane with a radar system he helped design. For his next trip he's heading south — to Antarctica. Panzer is making an Oct. 15 trip with three other students and six faculty members. The excursion is part of NASA's Operation ICE Bridge to use a radar-mounted DC-8 jet to study polar ice sheets and the effects of climate change on those sheets. NASA's current means of studying the Antarctic ice sheets is through the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite, ICESat, which is coming down later this year. Its replacement, the ICESat II, won't launch until 2014. Although it can't watch from space in the interim, NASA will be watching from the jet. That jet will be full of scientists from organizations across the nation, including Panzer from the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice sheets, CRESIS, at the University. CReSIS began its involvement with Operation ICE Bridge in January. It flew to California to look at the plane and then applied for a position in the project. Work began on the instruments in May with approval from NASA, which gave it $1.9 million for the project. BARE BONES BUDGET Participants in the project said preparing in May for a mission in October was a challenge. CRESIS had to work with a team in the aerospace engineering department. Together they worked to design and build fairings to balance functionality and design. Fairings are the containers that hold the instruments to the plane, which reduces drag. If the fairings were too secure the instruments would lose accuracy. But, if it were designed to increase instrument sensitivity, the instruments could be ripped from the plane by the harsh conditions of an Antarctic spring. SEE PROJECT ON PAGE 5A POLAR BEAR A large polar bear is exhibited at the Natural History Museum as part of the panorama display. The Natural History Museum, like many other museums across the country, is working hard to keep its doors open despite the poor economy. Museums cope with economy Lack of funding causes hours to be cut and exhibits to be changed BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com The third floor of the KU Natural History Museum is literally crawling with insects. Cockroaches the size of a human thumb look onward, antennas flicking back and forth. Next door, a beetle about the size of a thimble crawls with clunky grace across the wood in its display case, toward its display case, toward its reflection in the glass. Welcome to Bug Town, where so-called "pests" of the world are on display and recognized for their overwhelming abundance and diversity. Jen Humphrey, communications officer for the Natural History Museum, explains the beetle's tendency to feign death when it feels threatened, an instinct which allows it to live up to seven years. This also gives the beetle its name, the blue death-feigning beetle. It's one of 4 million insect specimens in the museum. This is less than half of the 9 million specimens owned by the museum overall. It's a creepy and captivating scene to behold, the walls stirring with movement behind the glass. The room is dark except for lamps in the display cases, tucked within the bright green walls. The activity inside the cases juxtaposes the stillness on the outside, where phantom echoes bounce through the museum's empty halls displaying the bones of animals long since dead. It's another quiet day at the museum, which is a reminder of adjustments it's been forced to make. Like most institutions with an allocated budget, both the Natural History Museum and the Spencer Museum of Art face financial setbacks because of the economic recession, and the cuts have caused noticeable results. For instance, the Natural History Museum had to cancel its spring break exhibition, which would have been "Super Hero Science." The exhibition planned to look at the science behind super vision, super hearing, and super materials, such as Spider-Man's silk. Budget cuts have also decreased funding for student staff positions. As a result, there were not enough personnel to prepare or run the event, which would have taken months to plan. Currently, as part of the Biodiversity Institute, the museum has an operating budget of $350,000. Humphrey said events such as the spring break exhibition, which only lasts for one week, could typically cost $15,000 to $20,000 with advertising, salaries and materials. The Spencer Museum of Art also faced changes this year that reflected the tighter budget. Saralyn Reece Hardy, director of the museum, said the museum had suffered layoffs and no longer accepted traveling exhibits because they were more costly. As a result, however, the museum started using its own collection for new exhibits. Hardy said dealing with budget cuts was SEE MUSEUMS ON PAGE 5A Subcommittee may change rights for students in dorms STUDENT SENATE BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com Students will now have the option to voice their concerns about whether University employees can enter dorm rooms if a dangerous situation is expected inside.

"They have to know what the current policy is, and so I want to make sure everybody is educated on what is going on and what changes are being proposed." Possible changes could include giving University housing officials more power to enter a student's dorm room without a search warrant.

Four arrested near U.S. Embassy in Yemen SANA, Yemen — Four Yemenis carrying explosives and guns were arrested near the U.S. embassy in San'a, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday. The Ministry's statement didn't say when they were arrested. But senior security officials told The Associated Press last week they were on the look out for possible attacks against foreign interests in San'a. The ministry said the four, aged between 20 and 33, had grenades, automatic weapons and ammunition in two separate vehicles.

NATIONAL Yale pulls controversial Muslim art from book NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale University has removed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad from an upcoming book about how they caused outrage across the Muslim world, drawing criticism from prominent alumni and a national group of university professors. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are greeted by France's President Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy at Palais Rohan in Strasbourg April 3. A factory worker's allegation to a Belgian TV crew that she was chosen as a backdrop extrait at a Normandy plant that he visited she was short is making waves as an Internet video over a subject long sensitive for the French president; his height. Yale cited fears of violence. Yale cited fears of violence. Yale University Press, which the university owns, removed the 12 caricatures from the book "The Cartoons That Shook the World" by Brandeis University professor Jytte Klausen. The book is scheduled to be released next week. A Danish newspaper originally published the cartoons — including one depicting Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban — in 2005. The following year, the cartoons triggered massive protests from Morocco to Indonesia. Rioters torched Danish and other Western diplomatic missions. Some Muslim countries boycotted Danish products. Associated Press INTERNATIONAL Size did matter,says Sarkozy's extra BY JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press PARIS — From elevator shoes to step-up boxes behind podiums, and even his own tippy-toes, Nicolas Sarkozy and his handlers have tried to compensate for his height — or lack thereof. Now, a factory worker's claim that she was chosen to stand near the French president during a photo shoot because she is short is making waves on the Internet — and rankling Sarkov's office. BARACK OBAMA WITH HER MADELEINE & JACQUELINE LEFKA The brouhaha was sparked during a visit to an auto parts plant in Normandy last week in which Sarkozy laid out his support for industry and defended his controversial plan for a "carbon tax" to help the environment. About 20 employees in white work smocks were gathered to stand behind Sarkozy on a riser as he spoke to about 600 workers at the new Faurecia automotive parts production site in Caligny. "I've been told you were chosen on height criteria," a reporter for the Belgian TV network RTBF asked a dark-haired woman in the line-up. "Is that true?" ASSOCIATED PRESS "I've been told you were chosen on height criteria." The reporter, Jean-Philippe Shaller, pressed on: "That you shouldn't be taller than the president?" JEAN-PHILLIPPE SCHALLER Reporter Two labor union leaders were quoted in the left-leaning newspaper Liberation on Tuesday as saying a hand-picked group of short workers had been requested. Neither Noel Djezari of the Communist-backed CGT union nor Jose de Sa Moreira of the center-left CFDT could be reached for comment, though labor unions have had tense relations with the conservative Sarkozy on many issues recently. "That's right," she replied, then nervously looked away as other white-suited employees looked on. Two presidential spokesmen denied the allegation, terming it "absurd and grotesque" and saying no such order had come from Sarkozy's office. In a statement Monday, Faurecia said it alone had organized the appearance involving employees from four factory sites in the area, and denied the president's office made any specific requests. Sarkozy regularly appears with crowds in the background, at times with people taller than he is. A spokesman said he didn't know the president's exact height, but said it is around 5 feet 7 inches. Charles de Gaulle had to struggle to find a bed that would fit his 6-foot-5-inch frame when he was on the road, and Francois Mitterrand had a complex about Height has been an issue for many leaders over the years, from the famously short — Napoleon is said to have been 5 feet 2 inches tall — to the towering. looking small next to the 6-foot-4-inch German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, according to Jean-Pierre Friedman, the author of books on Sarkozy and the psychology of leaders. Questions have swirled about the exact heights of Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev, and whether they try to appear taller than they are. Web chats dedicated to guessing their size compare them to other not-so-tall leaders, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korea's Kim Jong II and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi. Stage-managing presidential appearances is nothing new, and Sarkozy and his aides are known to skillfully craft his image. Photographers have caught him standing on boxes behind podiums or standing on his tiptoes — such While Brunt told French television last year she is just shy of 5 feet 8 inches, other reports have put her at 5 feet 9 inches, and she is often photographed wearing flats in appearances with her husband. Friedman said Sarkozy "has had a complex with his height that has given him a sense of inferiority ... as during a photo op with his wife, former supermodel Carla Bruni, and Barack and Michelle Obama in Strasbourg in April. so he has had to prove himself." Take a look at the way he walks — it's very particular," he said. "It almost seems as though he has lifts in his shoes that seem to disrupt his balance." Sarkozy's political rivals pounced on the Faurecia appearance while his supporters rushed to his defense. "When the French president goes on official visits throughout France, the only thing that is actually directed by the Flysew is his security," said Frederic Lefebre, a spokesman for Sarkozy's conservative party. Socialist party spokesman Benoit Hamon called the alleged stage management "shocking," telling AP Television News it amounted to "the politics of spectacle." "Frankly, for me, it is a little ridiculous, yes, absolutely," said Paris resident David Charley. NATIONAL New Cheney International Center stirs controversy over namesake A. H. D. BY MEAD GRUVER Former Vice President Dick Cheney speaks at the National Press Club in Washington June 3. The University of Wyoming's decision to name its new international student center after him has sparked controversy because of his support for harsh interrogation tactics and the war. Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A decision by the University of Wyoming to name a new center for international students for former Vice President Dick Cheney is drawing criticism from people who say Cheney's support for the Iraq war and harsh interrogation techniques should disqualify him from the distinction. The former vice president and wife Lynne are expected to attend Thursday's dedication of the new Cheney International Center on the Laramie campus. Protesters plan to be there, too. Protesters plan to be there, too. The center is funded in part with $3.2 million the Cheneys donated to the university in several installments while he was vice president. The university's decision to name the center after Cheney, a former Wyoming congressman, prompted a petition that collected more than 150 signatures. The petition said policies of the Bush administration were "very controversial" and the name will affect how people perceive the center. Cheney's support for harsh interrogations — torture, some say — is one reason to oppose naming the center after him, said Suzanne Pelican, who began circulating the petition a year ago. "We feel that by naming it the Cheney International Center, that the programs and UW can't avoid being identified with that ideology and that approach to global politics that the Bush-Cheney administration championed." Pelican said Tuesday. Pelican also criticized the Bush administration "go it alone" strategy when several U.S. allies opposed the invasion of Iraq and didn't participate in the war. Pelican is an extension educator in the university's College of Agriculture who plans to peacefully protest during the dedication. A state program matched the Cheney's $3.2 million gift with $3.2 million in state funding. The university spent $3 million to renovate and expand an existing building for the center.

Calderon has proposed eliminating the government departments of Tourism, Agrarian Reform and Public Administration to cut costs. BY MARK STEVENSON Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Felipe Calderon proposed eliminating three government departments Tuesday, part of a midterm Cabinet shake-up that included the resignation of the attorney general who was leading the battle against drug cartels. The changes mark the biggest governmental changes since Calderon began his six-year term in late 2006 and launched an offensive against organized crime. Calderon appeared to suggest the government would turn more attention to fighting poverty amid one of Mexico's worst economic downtunes since the 1930s. "In the difficult situation in which millions of Mexicans are living ... in a country that faces serious needs, as Mexico does, the government should be synonymous with service, not privilege," Calderon said in a speech announcing his Cabinet trimming idea. Dropping the three departments and other austerity measures, which need Congress' approval, would save an estimated 80 billion pesos ($6 billion) next year, freeing up money for anti-poverty measures, he said. The Department of Tourism would be rolled into the Economy Department, the Public Administration Department would be reduced to a comptroller's office, and the duties of the Agrarian Reform Department would be split between the Agriculture and the Social Development departments. The agency reorganization was part of a 2010 federal budget proposal Calderon planned to send to Congress later Tuesday. Calderon said employees' rights would be respected, but gave no estimate on how many jobs would be cut. He said tax policy and other changes could bring in an additional 100 billion pesos ($7.5 billion) next year, which combined with the cost-cutting would free up the equivalent of 1.4 percent of GDP to boost anti-poverty programs. The budget I am proposing has an unprecedented emphasis on anti-poverty programs," Calderon said. He also laid out part of his agenda for the second half of his term — which ends in 2012 — saying he would push for reforms to the country's rigid and antiquated labor laws. He said he also plans reforms in the energy, telecommunications and financial sectors. image was tarnished by charges that his top confidant was on the take and there had been rumors for some time that he would give up his post. On Monday, Calderon announced that Arturo Chavez, a former prosecutor who served in the embattled northern state of Chihuahua, will replace Eduardo Medina-Mora as attorney general. Medina-Mora's The president said the change did not signal a relaxation in the government's U.S.-supported war with vicious drug cartels. But the all-out war has drawn criticism as more than 13,500 people have been killed in unrelenting drug-related violence since Calderon took office in late 2006, and his party lost ground in midterm congressional elections in July. The Senate still has to approve Chavez's nomination. CONSERVATION Pacific walrus may be endangered BY DAN JOLING Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A petition to list Pacific walrus as a threatened or endangered species has passed its first review. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Tuesday that a petition presented by the Center for Biological Diversity provided substantial information that listing the species as threatened or endangered was warranted. The determination was based in part on projected changes in sea ice associated with climate change. The Center for Biological Diversity and other groups successfully petitioned for protection of polar bears using the same argument. Center spokeswoman Rebecca Noblin said Tuesday that unless immediate action is taken to reduce greenhouse gases, warming will claim waltus as a victim. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife determination triggers a detailed status review, including a 60-day public comment period. The comment period closes Nov. 9. "Climate change is the primary threat, but the offshore oil development in the Chukchi and Bering seas is also a problem," she said. Walrus could be forced into a land-based existence for which they are not adapted, she said. The center petitioned for a walrus listing in February 2008 and sued in December when the agency missed its "90-day" initial finding deadline. The case was settled in May when the Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to make an initial determination by Sept. 10. Walrus use sea ice to breed and forage. The animals dive from ice over the shallow outer continental shelf in search of clams and other benthic creatures. Females and their young traditionally use ice as a moving diving platform, riding it north like a conveyor belt as it recedes in spring and summer, first in the northern Bering Sea, then into the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast. Sea ice in the Chukchi Sea, shared with the Russian Far East, in 2007 and 2008 receded well beyond the outer continental shelf. would like to congratulate its amazing new-member class.

NASA can't afford return to moon, space experts say SCIENCE Associated Press BY SETH BORENSTEIN WASHINGTON - A White House panel of independent space experts says NASA's return-to-the-moon plan just won't fly. The problem is money. The expert panel estimates it would cost about $3 billion a year beyond NASAs current $18 billion annual budget. "Under the budget that was proposed, exploration beyond Earth is not viable," panel member Edward Crawley, a professor of aeronautics at MIT, told The Associated Press Tuesday. The report gives options to President Barack Obama, but said NASA's current plans have to change. Five years ago, then President George W. Bush proposed returning astronauts to the moon by 2020. To pay for it, he planned on retiring the shuttle next year and shutting down the international space station in 2015. All those deadlines have to change, the panel said. Space exploration would work better by including other countries and private for-profit firms, the panel concluded. The panel had previously estimated that the current plan would cost $100 billion in spending to 2020. Former NASA associate administrator Alan Stern said the report showed the harsh facts that NASA's space plans had "a mismatch between resources and rhetoric." Now, he said, Obama faces a choice of "essentially abandoning human spaceflight" or paying the extra money. NASA can't get beyond low-Earth orbit without spending more, but space travel with astronauts is important, the panel found. That will cost an extra $3 The panel, chaired by retired Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine, includes executives, scientists and ex-astronauts. It posted a summary report Tuesday on both White House and NASA web sites. billion a year and is "unquestion- ably worth it," Crawley said. The question is where to go. The Bush plan was to go to the moon, which would serve as a training ground for flights to Mars. The Augustine panel agreed Mars is the ultimate goal, but said going to the moon first is only one option and not the preferred one. Instead, the panel emphasized what it called a "flexible path" of exploring near-Earth objects such as asteroids, the moons of mars, and then landing on the moon after other exploration. "There's a lot of places in the neighborhood," Crawley said. "In fact, going to the moon is more difficult than going to a near-Earth object." The panel also said the space shuttle should continue flying until early 2011 to finish all its space station work and that it can't realistically retire by Oct. 1, 2010 as the Bush administration planned. FINANCE it's your CHOICE AMERICAN EXPRESS MasterCard VISA US sees record decrease in borrowing Signs for American Express, Master Card and Visa credit cards are shown on a New York store's door. Banks have slashed credit limits for ten millions of card holders since early 2008, and data indicates most of the cuts hit people who had no late payments or other negative marks on their credit histories. Associated Press BY JEANNINE AVERSA WASHINGTON — Consumers slashed their borrowing in July by the largest amount on record as job losses and uncertainty about the economic recovery prompted Americans to rein in their debt. Economists expect consumers will continue to spend less, save more and trim debt to get household finances decimated by the recession into better shape. However, such action is a recipe for a lethargic revival, as consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. The Federal Reserve reported Tuesday that consumers ratcheted back their credit by a larger than-anticipated $21.6 billion from June, the most on records dating to 1943. Economists expected credit to drop by $4 billion. Wary consumers and hard-toget credit both factor into the scaled-back borrowing. But economists are split on which force — lack of demand by consumers or lack of supply from banks — is having the bigger influence. "It's really a tug of war," said Mark Williams, professor of finance and economics at Boston University and a former Fed bank examiner. "It's true that consumers are being more responsible, saying 'I don't really need that extra credit card,' but it is more related to banks clamping down on lending." But Erik Hurst, economics professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, says it is impossible to know for sure. "We are seeing declines in demand for loans from consumers but also declines in the supply of loans from banks. How much of the credit cutback is due to the decline in supply or demand, you can't really tell." in a survey of bank loan officers, found somewhat weaker demand for all types of consumer loans. But fewer banks reported tightening their standards on credit card and other consumer loans, Last month, the Federal Reserve. the Fed survey said. "How much of the credit cutback is due to the decline in supply or demand, you can't really tell." Still, a report earlier this year by the company that produces the most widely known credit scores found that companies slashed limits for an estimated 58 million card holders in the 12 months ended in April, even though a high percentage had good credit scores when their limits were cut. ERIK HURST Economics professor, University of Chicago The cuts affected about a third of consumers, according to the study by FICO. But most people did not In Tuesday's report, demand for non-revolving credit used to finance cars, vacations, education see a big impact on the credit scores because lenders often cut limits on cards that were unused or lightly used. and other things fell by $15.4 billion, also a record decline. That 11.7 percent pace was on top of an 8 percent annualized decline in June.

"Conceivably this would be an ongoing project where we would make repeat visits to Antarctica in the winter, and there's talk about a different system that would go to Greenland in our summer on an annual basis for several years," said Allen. "We would like to participate in the future." Edited by Anna Kathagnarath Endowment sees record high donations in 2009 Ben Panzer spent his summer thinking about these conditions and how it would affect his radar array. Christopher Allen is a professor of electrical engineering and principal investigator of the project at the University. He said he hoped the University's participation in Operation ICE Bridge could continue for the five-year duration of the project. "For the months of May and June I would try and simulate what the aerospace guys would come up with," Panzer said. "Then towards the end of July we actually set up the array itself." Now that the instruments have been completed, they are undergoing test flights this month in preparation of the mission next month. The CReISS researchers designed three instruments for ICE Bridge, the Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS) to measure the thickness of ice sheets, a radar to measure the snow on top of the ice, and a radar altimeter to measure the Antarctic terrain.

"It's always difficult to figure out how to continue at a level of quality and to set higher standards for the museum while you're in economic tension," Hardy said. "The kind of wonderful aspect of this particular moment is that we have taken the opportunity to mine our own collections." Hardy said the museum owned more than 36,000 pieces of art. She referred to two exhibitions currently on display — the Andy Warhol collection, called "Big Shots," and "XY," an exhibition about masculinity. Every item in these collections belongs to the museum. "What we have done is take the opportunity to use the resources that are close to home and to share with the community — especially the KU community — the kinds of rich collections the Spencer has," Hardy said. Looking inward toward resources isn't always enough, however. Hardy said the cost of exhibits ranged from $1,000 to $100,000 even when the museum used its own archives. To curb costs, the Spencer Museum of Art started closing one hour earlier each day. Last January, the Natural History Museum started closing on Mondays to save money, as well. Humphrey said the change was extremely effective and would ultimately save the museum $10,000 a year. I am a graduate of the University of Colorado, Denver.

RAGHIN BABI/KANSAN Los Angeles PhD student Heather Putnam closely examines the Asian art exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art in this file photo. The museum has had to change hours and other operation practices because of the economy. "As an institution that has a budget, which all museums do, we are always keeping an eye out for how we can be more efficient and how to do more with less," she said. KU museums are not the only ones feeling the pinch. Thomas Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, announced last Wednesday that the museum would be cutting 20 to 25 percent of its larger loan exhibitions, according to artforum.com. Adam Buhler/KANSAN Humphrey said she thought museums on campus had done relatively well during the recession, considering its severity. She said the museums have still been able to accommodate their most excitable patrons, area school children. Each year, the museum has about 50,000 visitors. About 5,000 of these are school children. Lawrence's Schwegler Elementary School, with almost 400 students, will visit both the Natural History Museum and Spencer Museum of Art this year. Jared Comfort, Schwegler principal, said the museums were important and worthwhile activities for the school, especially because they were more affordable during tight economic times. Except for asking for small donations from the public, museum entry is free. "It doesn't really cost us anything, and it has something to offer to everyone, adults included." Comfort said. Saira Khan, Lawrence senior and front desk employee at the Natural History Museum, said she hadn't noticed anything about the museum that was reflective of an economic crisis. She said foot traffic often fluctuated depending on the season. "We get a lot more elementary school classes in the spring," Khan said. "It seems to slow down in the fall semester." Hardy said the Spencer Museum of Art considered KU students and faculty as its "first audience" and wanted the goals of the museum to be centered on this group. Both Hardy and Humphrey contend that KU students provide a crucial role in the success and operation of the museums as both visitors, participants and researchers. Of the Natural History Museum's 9 million animals, plants and tissues, only a small fraction of these are ever used for exhibition. The other items are dedicated to research by graduate students and scientists. Beyond the museums' contribu "I think, for some people, museums are a way of centering yourself," she said. "When you come to a museum, it tends to be a place of reflection." tions to scholarship and research, Humphrey said she thought the role of museums was essential to an individual, especially in the midst of a stressful economy.

Currently at the University, housing officials have to go to the KU Public Safety Office to get a Douglas County judge to sign and approve a search warrant to enter a student's dorm room for any reason, including suspected alcohol use. Some members of Student Senate are concerned and skeptical that this change was an attempt to infringe on the rights of students. Adam Wood, Lawrence senior and student rights committee member, voted against appointing a subcommittee. "I think forming a subcommittee is ridiculous because we don't need to get a group of people together to decide whether certain people need Fourth Amendment rights or not," Wood said. "That's not up for discussion." The Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. Wood said he also felt it was "disingenuous and naive" to believe Senate could change a culture of binge drinking by simply changing the code. The subcommittee will hold open meetings and will allow any student to participate and vote after attending at least one meeting. The subcommittee has not yet announced its first meeting time.

Instead of relying solely on live television, organizers' of the U.N. chief's Sept. 22 climate summit said Tuesday they've asked some world leaders to make pre-recorded video statements for release on a summit Web site and on YouTube. Progress toward a new global climate treaty in December in Copenhagen, Denmark, has been moving way too slow and there are only about 15 days left for negotiators to meet, Janos Pasztor, director of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's climate change support team said Tuesday. "If things were wonderful, we wouldn't need a summit," he said. In his debut appearance at the U.N., where he is promising a new U.S. era of global cooperation, President Barack Obama will participate in closed talks with other leaders on how to reach a climate deal. Obama is one of a handful of heads of states whose speeches will be carried on live TV, according to the White House. Obama also will attend a luncheon and dinner hosted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who hopes to spark climate-related discussions about food, water, energy, financing and disaster preparedness with 10 people seated at each table.

All students at the University who value not only their right to privacy,but their rights as citizens and their personal liberties guaranteed in the Constitution, should show up,listen and vote as a member of the new subcommittee. MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT This new subcommittee is officially a part of the student rights committee, which is a part of Student Senate. However, any student can be a voting member of this group. The reason on it's important for as many students as possible to be in this group is because it is examining the student code of rights and responsibilities, which ensures that students do not give up any rights by becoming members of the University community. WHO: ANY STUDENT WHO ATTENDS AT LEAST ONE MEETING CAN VOTE WHAT: SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE TO REVIEW ALCOHOL POLICIES WHEN: TO BE ANNOUNCED IN A WEEK WHY: FIGHT FOR STUDENT RIGHTS The code is under examination because of alcohol-related incidents that occurred near campus last year. Some administrators feel that amending the code to allow housing officials to enter residence hall rooms without permission is something that needs to happen in order to help prevent underage drinking. Marlesa Roney, viceprovest for student success, was a guest speaker at the student rights committee meeting and she told the student However, she said further review was necessary. "I want Student Senate to review the stumbling blocks that have put in our way," she said. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unlawful search and seizure and entrance of the home without a warrant. Student housing is protected under this amendment and it is not a mere stumbling block. Students who live in housing should be concerned, but so should the rest of the student body. If this is up for examination and if Student Senate votes to take away this student right, then what other rights will be taken away? KANSAN'S OPINION When asked how many deaths this new policy would have prevented, Roney said, "I can't stand here and tell you that a change in the code would save lives, but I'm hoping it would." This is because none of the deaths actually occurred in the residence halls. This policy is an unnecessary attack on student housing. According to Tom Cox, chair of the student rights committee, the first subcommittee meeting date will be determined a week from today by former student senator Emily Williams, who has been named chairwoman of the subcommittee. This is a chance for students to actually have the ability to control what is happening to them. Any student who goes to these meetings can vote, and despite common feelings about elections, this vote actually will count. When the date of the first meeting is announced The Kansan will provide an update so students will know when and where they can participate. A generous number of student voices need to speak out against a change in the student code in order to preserve student rights. — Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board POLITICS Savty is best pick for democrats next gubernatorial candidate In an online comment to my last column, which discussed the strength of the Republican Party in Kansas, linguo_thegrammar_robot wrote, "I would say it's the weakness[es] of the Democrats rather than the strength[s] of the Republicans in Kansas." And yes, the Kansas Democrats could be stronger. But not because, as some might think, former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is gone. That was going to happen next year because of constitutional term limits anyway. Although I hinted at the validity of this argument in my previous column, the comment offers a perfect segue into a further discussion of the state of things here in Kansas by looking at the other side of the aisle. The Democrats are weak because she left no coherent strategy to build on. By failing to anticipate the learning curve of Republicans, who discovered they needed to move back to the middle and do so fast, Sebelius ignored other methods of attracting more people to her tent beyond party switching. WHAT'S THE MATTER IN KANSAS? TYLER HOLMES All would be forgiven if Gov. Mark Parkinson had any intention of running against Sen. Sam Brownback next year, but he doesn't. Instead, the likely nominee will be Democratic State Party Chairman Larry Gates, should he formally enter the race. Only Democratic State Sen. Chris Steineger (D-Kansas City) has said he wants to, thus far. However well-meaning the expected Gates candidacy will be, it lacks the kind of excitement that Brownback brings to the table for Republicans across the state. Any change will need to start from the top, the gubernatorial candidate. Two-term State Rep Raj Goyle (D-Wichita) — running in Kansas' 4th District — has the right idea, taking advantage of incumbent Rep. Todd Tiahrt's ambition to run for the higher chamber in the U.S. Legislature. What I would like to see is the Democrats use one of their young guns to create impassioned debate of the issues and maybe even make for a close election. But Rep. Goyle's 34 years are even too many for me; there's a brighter star on the Kansas horizon. Recently appointed acting Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Josh Svaty, a 29-year-old, four-time elected state representative and fifth-generation farmer from Ellsworth County, is the perfect choice to lead the Kansas Democrats forward. He understands what will lead Kansas forward, as he wrote in The Wichita Eagle. "Our farmers depend on fertile soils to produce crops, but those same fertile soils can be instrumental in biomass production. The abundant sunshine so critical to photosynthesis also makes us central to solar expansion," Secretary Svaty said. "Our wind — which needs no introduction and is part of a strong cultural identity for every Kansan — can help power the rest of America." Secretary Swaty has charisma paired with experience, a farmer's work ethic with a law school education (he's in his second year at Washburn University). He's the perfect candidate for Kansans. What his intentions are for next year's elections are unknown, though his father, state Rep. Don Svaty (D-Ellsworth), has publicly stated his plans to retain the seat next year. I'm inclined to think that means Secretary Svaty is thinking about a statewide run. I can only hope that he's thinking about the top spot. If not, I'm already on board for 2014 (Or 2018. Take your pick, Josh). Holmes is an Overland Park sophomore in political science. ENVIRONMENT Turning up the heat: Climate change will devastate Kansas N ever mind the unseasonably cool summer, a new report summer, a new report published by the Nature Conservancy indicates that Kansas should expect higher temperatures in the near future. Our state, according to the report, will be one of the states hit hardest by climate change. As a state in which much of the economy is centered upon agriculture, Kansas is especially vulnerable to changing temperature and weather patterns. Ifglobal greenhouse emissions continue to increase at the anticipated rate, temperatures in Kansas will rise by an average of 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, increasing more than in any other state in the union. (Take a look at an interactive map of the climate projections at www.climatewizard.org.) The optimal zones for crops will shift as the temperature begins to rise. Our environment will begin to resemble that of present-day Oklahoma or Texas. Milder winters and early spring will increase the damage done by insect pests and, especially in western Kansas, decreased rainfall will devastate crop yields. The projected temperature increases were derived from the latest report of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The report indicates that if the rate of green house gas emissions levels off by the mid-21st century, then temperatures in Kansas would increase by 9.1 degrees Fahrenheit. If the rate of emissions were curbed each year over the next century beginning next year, THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON then the increase would be a mere 6.7 degrees. Even in the most optimistic scenario, the message is clear enough. Our state will suffer the effects of climate change more than most, and this gives us one more good reason to take it seriously and do what we can to mitigate the long-term economic and ecological impact. At the very least Congress needs to pass the cap and trade bill to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Of course, both Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts have voiced their opposition to any cap and trade bill. The Nature Conservancy is one of the world's most forward-thinking environmental organizations. You can access its Web site at www.nature.org. I encourage everyone to check it out and consider making a donation. The Nature Conservancy is no radical left-wing environmental group such as Greenpeace. Hank Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, was the president of the board of directors of the Nature Conservancy before he was appointed treasury secretary under the Bush administration. These figures are startling, to say the least, and I hope they help to bring home the issue of climate change. Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. Jenkins' disappointing performance reflected in town hall meeting LETTER TO THE EDITOR Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins' town hall meeting at the Dole Institute proved three things to me about the representative: She doesn't respect her constituents, she does not listen to her constituents and she does not do her job. Jenkins arrived late to the meeting and then wasted 20 minutes talking about other issues such as the stimulus bill. When people asked Jenkins to get to health care and stop filibustering, she accused them of being disrespectful. When a group of people gather to discuss a single issue, and you show up late and waste their time talking about your opinion on everything but that single issue, who is being disrespectful? The obvious attempt to waste time and avoid answering questions makes me doubt Rep. Jenkins is really interested in listening to her constituents and doubt she will really do what they want in Washington. The rest of her time was primarily spent trying to defend her position, criticize Democrats and badmouth Nancy Pelosi. She even said her vote didn't count because Democrats have unfettered power. "You're our representative," one constituent said. "We need your vote." Perhaps the most telling moment was when I asked her to read all the legislation. She said she would but then gave a caveat. That seems to be Jenkins' modus operandi — smile and give lip service but never remotely entertain the option of doing what her constituents want and need. If lenkins isn't willing to represent her constituents, respect their voices or even do the work of a representative by reading the legislation, then why is she in office? The people of her district deserve someone better representing them in Washington. Kristen Maun is a first-year law student from Lawrence.

GERANIOS Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. — Washington State University is in the midst of a swine flu outbreak since classes started last month, with 2,500 people contacting student health to report flu-like symptoms and officials handing out flu kits around campus. Officials have distributed about 200 free flu kits, including a thermometer, painkillers, throat lozenges, sport drinks, hand sanitizer and tissues. The number of cases of suspected swine flu dropped dramatically as students left campus over the Labor Day weekend, but school officials were closely watching the numbers Tuesday to see if this would rise as students returned. Some students wore surgical masks around campus, but most were taking it in stride. There have been no deaths or even hospitalizations from the cases at WSU, a school with an enrollment of about 18,000 in Pullman. About a dozen patients with nausea and vomiting have required hydration, the school said. Officials at Washington State, and at other colleges around the nation, have been anticipating large numbers of flu cases this fall because swine flu targets young people and thrives in the tight living quarters common on college campuses, said Paula Adams, community coordinator for WSU Health havent", Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a briefing Tuesday. "Some colleges have already seen upticks but the majority of colleges haven't." and Wellness Services. Federal health officials say they have been girding for a spike in cases as schools and colleges came back into session in August and September. Anyone who calls Health and Wellness to report flu-like symptoms is counted as a swine flu case. People who call are advised to stay DR. ANNE SCHUCHAT U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "Some colleges have already seen up ticks but the majority of colleges home, treat symptoms and drink fluids. Dr. Dennis Garcia, senior associate director of Health and Wellness Services, said federal estimates would indicate that some 5,000 WSU students might eventually come down with the bug. Compared with other types of influenza, the swine flu, or H1N1 strain, is relatively mild, Garcia said. He said most students suffer three to five days of discomfort, such as fever, congestion, sore throat and fatigue. FLU INFORMATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERYONE, IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS, PLEASE DO NOT CHECK IN. The health center at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas places a bottle of hand sanitizer and a swine flu sign on a window in front of Marilyn Hallam on Aug. 25. Colleges across the country are seeing spikes in the number of students with flu-like symptoms as dorms fill up and classes begin for the fall semester. LEGAL Blagojevich seeks senators and officials as trial witnesses BY MIKE ROBINSON 02日 2015年03月17日 11:55:03 UTC Associated Press CHICAGO — Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Tuesday that statements he made on secret FBI wiretap tapes were taken out of context by prosecutors and that he might try to call senators and a top White House official as witnesses at his racketeering and fraud trial to back his version of events. The former governor, whose trial is scheduled to begin June 3, said he expects to be cleared of Blagojevich told The Associated Press in a phone interview that he might even try to subpoena President Barack Obama as a witness at his trial, but the court is unlikely to compel the president to testify. charges that he tried to sell or trade Obama's former Senate seat for campaign money or a high-paying job for his wife or himself. "I will be vindicated because I haven't done anything wrong." Blagoievich said. He said he sometimes stays awake and worries that justice — as he sees it — won't prevail and he will go to prison. PETER TATWALK Blagojevich Blagojevich said he is not tempted to ask his attorneys seek a plea deal that could cut years off any prison sentence. The former governor spoke by phone from New York, where he was promoting his book, "The Governor." He started the day with an interview with WLS radio in Chicago and an appearance on NBC's "Today" show. According to prosecutors, the FBI secretly recorded Blagojevich last November saying he wanted something in exchange for the Senate seat. "I've got this thing and it's (deleted) golden, and uh, uh, I'm just not giving it up for (deleted) nothing," he is quoted as saying. He was later recorded saying "I want to make money" off the seat, prosecutors said. As he argued in his book, Blagojevich said his words were taken out-of context, and that he was hoping to appoint Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to the Senate seat in return for a deal with her father, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Under that plan, Michael Madigan would push a public works bill designed to create thousands of jobs and health care legislation through the state House, while guaranteeing there would be no tax increase for Illinois residents. In exchange, his daughter would get the Senate seat. day before his arrest. Harris also was charged in the indictment and has agreed to cooperate with the government. He is expected to be a witness at Blagojevich's trial. The former governor was asked if he thought Harris would support his story on "I will be vindicated because I haven't done anything wrong." ROD BLAGOJEVICH Former Illinois Gov. cross examination. In his book, Blagojevich said he told his chief of staff, John Harris, to start implementing the plan the "If he tells the truth, that's what happened," Blagoievich said. Ilagojevich said he might subpoena White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Senate Democrat. Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Robert Menendeza to back up his version of what happened. He said he discussed his plan with all of them. Another possible witness he said would be former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-III). Blagoevich said in his book that he was surprised to find out that one of his chief fundraisers, Tony Rezko, was involved in corruption. Rezko has been convicted of taking part in a $7 million payoff scheme and is now believed to be cooperating with federal prosecutors. He said that while another former chief of staff, Alonzo Monk, never told him that he had received thousands of dollars from Rezko. "Iftrue, I'm shocked." Blagojevich said.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL | 6B AN INHERITED TRAIT KU adidas Senior defender Estelle Johnson is one of 10 children in her family. "I'm probably the least athletic in my family." Johnson joked. Johnson's siblings are also athletic and played soccer as children before taking up other sports. Soccer is family tie for senior Estelle Johnson learned teamwork with nine siblings PAGE 1B BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com If Estelle Johnson looks comfortable sharing the ball with her 10 teammates, it isn't a coincidence. Estelle is one of 10 siblings, so sharing comes pretty naturally to her. Johnson grewup in Fort Collins, Colo., sharing a house with her parents, Jerry and Djeneba, and her five brothers and four sisters. If it sounds a little cramped, it was. There were bunk beds for the kids in every bedroom, and even as the third-youngest child, Estelle didn't get her own room until she came to college. But rooms weren't the only things shared in the house. "The worst part about it was that I never got my own clothes" Johnson, a senior defender, said. "Every single time I had an outfit picked out, my sister would steal the shirt, and then there would be a brawl to see who got it." Fortunately, that was the worst it got. Johnson and her siblings grew up extremely close to each other, partly because of their shared love of sports. Most afternoons were spent playing soccer in the backyard with makeshift goals on the fences. "The neighbor used to get mad because we'd break the fence almost every other day," Johnson said. Estelle's older sister, Esther Johnson, said the older siblings used to playfully tease Estelle for being skinnier than her sisters. "She didn't like that as a kid, but it didn't make her any less of an amazing soccer player," Esther said. All of the Johnson kids played soccer recreationally, but many went on to pursue different sports. Estelle's siblings have played football, volleyball and basketball at the collegiate level. Jerry Johnson never forced any of the kids to SEE JOHNSON ON PAGE 4B FOOTBALL 'Pistol' formation a new wrinkle for Jayhawks jjenks@kansan.com BY JAYSON JENKS Kansas unveiled a new offensive formation Saturday against Northern Colorado, and a record 52,530 fans noticed. But after the fact — after Kansas used the "pistol" formation throughout its 49-3 victory against Northern Colorado — players and coach Mark Mangino provided only murky details surrounding the offense's latest trick. Then came the breakthrough "I'm real fast to the line," Sharp said. "That's something we had to work on and (this) way I can read a block. Putting me deeper, I think it really helps out as far as being able to read the blocks the O-line was throwing tonight." After rushing for 123 yards on 21 carries, senior running back Jake Sharp proved that maybe there's more substance to the pistol than simply providing defenses with different looks. Offensive coordinator Ed Warriner also added his analysis of the formation. "It's a great formation for Jake Sharp in terms of getting vision and being able to see the field," Warriner said. In the pistol, the quarterback lines up three to five yards behind the center while the running back is another two to three yards directly behind the quarterback. Essentially, the pistol combines the shotgun with the more run-oriented 1-formation. "It's our version of the 1-formation." Warriner said. t Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. And that's exactly the idea KANSAS 1 23 Former offensive lineman Ryan Cantrell said one of the biggest adjustments Sharp struggled with last season was patience. Instead of waiting for blocks to develop and holes to open, Sharp sometimes rushed to the line of scrimmage on running plays. By allowing Sharp to receive the ball deeper behind the offensive line, it buys more time for designed plays to unfold. Weston White/KANSAN "The whole idea is to be able to get the ball to the back deeper and involve your quarterback in more things such as the play action pass and the misdirection offense", Nevada coach Chris Ault said.

COMMENTARY In dream world, stars could play more sports BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com If Dick Vitale would have been in the press box at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., on Saturday, he probably would have been pounding the tables screaming. "Are you serious?" And that got me thinking. Vitale would have been raving about Greg Paulus, one of his favorite Dukies, who looked pretty solid in nearly leading a Syracuse football team to a victory against Minnesota. Despite throwing an interception that effectively lost the game, Paulus seemed in control at quarterback, a position he hadn't played competitively in five years. And that got the match. Paulus was named the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year after his senior year and had offers to play football at Miami, Fla., and Notre Dame. He spurned them all for a chance to play point guard for Coach K at Duke. His early success had me drooling about the potential sport switches we could have right here at Kansas These three are news bulletins I would love to come across; We've all seen his uncanny ability to get a shot off in the lane amongst the 7-footers of the Big 12. This would translate to an ability to catch footballs in double coverage. He isn't uncomfortable in tight spaces. Sherron Collins switches from point guard to wide receiver — Collins may not have the height (he's 5-foot-11) to sky for balls in the endzone, but he showed in high school that he could play. In his junior year at Crane Tech Prep in Chicago, Collins played his first year of organized football. In a game against Carver High, he set a Chicago Public League record with 250 receiving vards. With Collins going through his annual task of getting his weight down, I see no better option than to let Coach Mangino take him for a week. Sharp took second place in the Kansas Class 5A 100-meter-dash three years in a row, but since coming to Kansas, he has cut his 40-yard-dash time from 4.53 to 4.38, at least according to a Kansas City Star article last year. Jake Sharp switches from running back to 100-meter sprinter — We all can see Sharp is fast. But it's his drive to be faster that would make him scary on the track. UTEP wouldn't be ready for Kerry Meier, Dezmon Briscoe and Sherron Collins. After seeing professional pitching for four years, Henry would tear the cover off the ball for Kansas. He struck out a ton in the minors, but with an aluminum bat and slower pitching, he could probably take Kansas to the College World Series. If he just focused on his sprinting ability, he could definitely compete in Big 12 track. C. J. Henry switches from guard to shortstop — This one isn't really allowed by NCAA rules, considering Henry played four years of minor league baseball. But I'm already dreaming, so let's dream big. I wish I could see these stories happen. Bill Self and Mark Mangino probably don't.

Associated Press MORNING BREW Lions set to make a comeback this season SportsCenter, the mecca of sports programming, abuses its right to repetition as it casts an insurmountable shadow on the little guy. Before his final days in a uniform, Barry Bonds' home runs and steroid allegations were featured on the show more than most anchors. Another beaten-to-bloody-death favorite was the Terrell Owens saga, as he wept his way from San Francisco to Philadelphia to Dallas and now to Buffalo. Today, the masses suffer from SportsCenter's latest exhausting cycle: the daily doses of Brett Favre and Michael Vick. Do not worry, my fair readers! This is not a further analysis of Favre's supposed cracked rib or Vick's potential as a slot receiver. Instead, this is a breath of fresh air. With multitudes of developing stories across the NFL, sometimes the Favre and Smokescreen hazes all the good stuff. Allow me to polish a diamond-in-the-rough tale as we take a less conventional look around the league and visit football business in the impoverished Motor City. BY MAX ROTHMAN New York State This is the question your team never wants to ask itself. How do you bounce back from a winless season? Hmm, win a game perhaps. Just one would be fine, really. pocket presence for a rookie. He threw behind a wretched offensive line at Georgia, leading to weekly pressure from the SEC defensive monsters such as LSU, Alabama and Florida. So the kid is used to taking a hit and tossing bullets in the middle of a crowd. So the Detroit Lions considered that phenomenon for the first time since the departure of Barry Sanders. They hired former Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz as their new head coach and drafted their quarterback of the future (again) with the first overall selection of the 2009 NFL draft — Georgia juggernaut Matthew Stafford. Stafford possesses a right arm capable of saving a city, surprising mobility for his 237-foot frame and advanced Just this week, Stafford won the starting quarterback job over the always overrated rogue Danne Culpepper. (Isn't it odd how Culpepper has struggled since losing Randy Moss and Cris Carter?) Unlike the gloomy recent history of the Lions, this team actually possesses some handy weapons for the rookie to get on the right track. Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has the natural skills to be the best receiver in the league. Kevin Smith's boring name matches his game, but is nonetheless a sturdy and efficient option at running back, something the Lions haven't had since Barry Sanders. Add in the newly-drafted train of a tight end, Brandon Pettigrew from Oklahoma State, and all of a sudden things don't look so hopeless. As for the defense — well, the future isn't quite as glistening. As the oldest defense in the league, this unit is in need of a revelation or two. But you've got to start somewhere, and the offense is just that. Season Projection: The Lions will falter to the tune of a tough schedule, but claw their way to a season with a promising path. After all, the only way to go from winless is up. 5-11. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS Out of nowhere, a brandished, street-wise form of poetry changed East Coast hip-hop. There were no lavish hype promotions from Diddy. It didn't sound like the Chronic. Instead, 1994's "Illmatic" juxtaposed the drug-infused, poverty-stricken struggles of New York City with the wise and rebellious perspective of a young Nasir Jones. "Iillmatic" is a short album in comparison to the rest of rap's clowns and their ongoing mouths, but its modest length refreshingly equates an album with no THE MORNING BREW time wasted. The beats are jazzy and complex, made by legends DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor, yet it's the rapid rhymes of Nas, the street-savvy poet from Queens, that are the reason for this album's prominence in the history of hip-hop.

Upset over Sooners propels BYU into top 10 20 43 RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press NEW YORK — BYU barged into the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll, making the biggest jump of any team from the preseason rankings after scoring the biggest upset of the opening weekend of the regular season. The Cougars jumped 11 spots to No. 9 in the Top 25 released Tuesday, three days after they stunned Oklahoma 14-13 as threetouchdown underdogs. "For the first time there were people at the airport to greet the team.

He is expected to miss two to four weeks, but will not need surgery and could be back by the time the Sooner play their next big game — against Miami on Oct. 3. BYU is no stranger to the top 10. The Cougars were ranked as high as eighth last season. But BYU stumbled in its biggest games, suffering lopsided losses to Mountain West Conference rivals TCU and Utah, then losing to Arizona in the Las Vegas Bowl. "Our football team, we have three goals... winning a conference championship, winning the state championship and going to a bowl game and winning it. We didn't do any of them," Hall said during a conference call with reporters. "Even though we won 10 games, we were upset with the way it ended." BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said the Oklahoma victory should give a boost to the whole Mountain West Conference, which has been fighting for more access to the Bowl Championship Series. "I do think that the game and how we played helped our conference, helped our team and helped the exposure of the fight that we're all kind of engaged in as our BYU travels to New Orleans to face Tulane on Saturday before playing their first home game on Sept. 19 against Florida State, one of three teams to fall out of the rankings this week. league is trying to gain credibility" Mendenhall said. Oregon and Iowa also fell out. Moving into the Top 25 were Miami, Cincinnati and Missouri. LSU was No. 11 and No. 12 Boise State moved up two spots after beating Oregon 19-8 on Thursday. Virginia Tech's opening loss dropped the Hokies seven spots to No. 14. No. 15 Georgia Tech, was followed by TCU and UA. Notre Dame's 35-0 victory against Nevada helped the Fighting Irish climb five spots to No. 18. North Carolina was No. 19 and Miami moved into the poll at No. 20 after a thrilling 38-34 victory Monday night against Florida State in Tallahassee.

BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press The Royals had 11 hits and a rare strong performance from their bullpen to win consecutive games for the first time since July 27-28 against Baltimore. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Billy Butler drove in two runs, Kansas City's bullpen pitched 4 1-3 scoreless innings and the Royals ended the Detroit Tigers' six-game winning streak with a 7-5 victory Tuesday night. Vasuhiko Yabuta (1-1) allowed two hits in 21 1-3 innings for his second career victory, Roman Colon pitched a perfect eighth and Joakim Soria survived two hits in the ninth for his 23rd save. The AL. Central-leading Tigers scored five runs off Royals starter Bruce Chen, but went through six pitchers and had two costly outfield miscues. Marcus Thames and Aubrey Huff drove in two runs each and Ryan Raburn homered for Detroit. Butler had two homers and four RBIs Monday night against the Los Angeles Angels and kept his hot streak going with a double, sacrifice fly and run-scoring single off Bobby Seay (5-3) in the seventh. Detroit starter Rick Porcello wasn't sharp, but gave the Tigers a chance. The rookie right-hander gave up two runs in the second inning on Brayan Pena's double and a ground-out by Yuniesky Betancourt. In the fifth, a misjudged fly by Raburn in left turned into a double for Josh Anderson, then Mitch Maier knocked him in with a soft double to center. Butler's warning-track sacrifice fly cut Detroit's lead to 5-4. Porcello was lifted after Betancourt's leadoff single in the seventh. He allowed four and seven hits, leaving with a 5-4 lead. Detroit's bullpen — thanks to a miscue by right fielder Clete Thomas — couldn't hold it. Raburn did his job on David Deleses' single, double-clutching and still getting Betancourt by two steps at the plate. Thomas, worried about the wall, didn't get a glove on Butler's foul ball in the corner. Two pitches later, Butler lined a run-scoring single through the right side and Mike Jacobs followed with an RBI single that made it 6-5. Defesus sacrifice fly — and another close play at the plate involving Betancourt and Raburn — gave the Royals a two-run lead in the eighth. (shoulder fatigue) for his first start since he ended a four year winless streak on Aug. 6. The left-hander didn't really stand a chance to make it two straight. Chen, who allowed five runs and seven hits, replaced Brian Bannister Thames hit a run-scoring single off him in the first and Tigers got two more in the third when Raburn led off with his 11th homer and Thames hit a sacrifice fly. Huff chased Chen with two outs in the fifth, looping a two-run, broken-bat single to center to put Detroit up 5-2. Martinez shines in Phillies' win over Nationals MLB BY JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Philadelphia Phillies hit five solo home runs — including three in the seventh inning — and became the 12th team in major league history with a 30-homer foursome in Tuesday night's 5-3 win over the Washington Nationals. Raul ibanez went long for the 29th and 30th times this season and Chase Utlley hit No. 30, joining Ryan Howard (38) and Jayson Werth in Philadelphia's 30-homer club for 2009. Werth hit his 32nd, Carlos Ruiz got his ninth for the Phillies, who snapped a fourgame losing streak. The power barrage overshadowed another good start from Pedro Martinez (4-0) and a rare hook in the ninth inning after another shaky outing from Brad Lidge. Ryan Madson struck out Ryan Zimmerman with the bases loaded and the winning run on first and retired cleanup hitter Adam Dunn. The Phillies, who have the major leagues' highest percentage of runs from homers, became the first team since the 2006 Chicago White Sox to have four 30-homer hitters and accomplished the feat for the first time in franchise history. Martinez, craftily mixing plenty of off-speed pitches with an occasional low-90s fastball, allowed three runs and seven hits with four strikeouts and one walks over 6 2-3 innings. The Phillies improved to 6-0 when the three-time Cy Young Award winner starts. Brett Myers followed with 1 1-3 scoreless innings, but Lidge failed to capitalize on the vote of confidence he received before the game from manager Charlie Manuel. Lidge, who had his 10th blown save of the season in his last appearance on Saturday, retired one batter before a single, a hit batter, a wild pitch and a walk. MLB RAYS ASSOCIATED PRESS Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price delivers the ball to the New York Yankees during the first inning of a baseball game Tuesday at Yankee Stadium in New York. Rays lose seventh straight ballgame BY BEN WALKER Associated Press NEW YORK — Nick Swisher hit his second home run of the game, connecting with one out in the ninth inning to lead the New York Yankees over Tampa Bay 3-2 Tuesday night and send the Rays to their season-high seventh straight loss. The switch-hitting Swisher connected from both sides of the plate. He won it with a left-handed shot off Dan Wheeler (4-4). Derek jeter struck out three times and remained stuck in his longest slump of the year, moving no closer to the Yankees hit record held by Lou Gehrig. Rays rookie David Price fanned Jeter his first three times up, twice catching him looking. The Yankees star had nothing to show for four at-bats, leaving him in, an 0-for-12 rut and still four hits from surpassing Gehrig's total of 2,721. Mariano Rivera (2-2) pitched a perfect ninth as the Yankees won for the 12th time in 15 games and got their major league-leading 90th win of the season, surpassing last year's total. Swisher homered in the second and Alex Rodriguez had an RBJ single in the sixth. Swisher has three multihomer games this season — he connected lefty and righty each time. Of Swisher's 26 homers this season, only five have come at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. Jason Bartlett greeted Yankees reliever Phil Hughes with a lead-off home run in the eighth, tying it at 2. Evan Longoria hit his 30th homer the previous inning off starter Chad Gaudin. Plagued by deep pitch counts earlier in the year. Price came out throwing strikes. He gave up only three hits in six innings, walked two and struck out six. Randy Choate retired Jeter on a lineout leading off the eighth, then made the defensive play of the game. Gaudin took a 2-0 lead into the seventh. His winless streak reached 10 starts, before he was traded from San Diego to the Yankees in early August. Gaudin helped himself by picking off speedster Carl Crawford at first base with a quick move in the sixth. Crawford also got trapped after a triple in the opening inning, taking off on Longoria's grounder and getting tagged out in a rundown.

"There was a certain amount of momentum that built up from one child to the other" Jerry said. "They were all natural at it." Jerry was also an avid sports player while growing up in Washington. After high school, he traveled overseas with the Peace Corps. Later he spent seven years in Mali, where he met Djeneba. Jerry had one kid and Djeneba had two, and the couple had seven more together after moving to Fort Collins. But supporting a family of 12 wasn't always easy, especially with 10 kids constantly playing sports. Sacrifices were necessary for the family to get by. "They couldn't have a lot of the material things that their friends had." said jerry. So when Estelle begged her father to take her to a club soccer tryout when she was 10, he was reluctant. But she tried out and made the team. Through working with coaches and hitching rides with other families, she was able to play with the squad. "I'd bike to practice every day and I'd ride to games with a teammate or something," Estelle said. "We definitely did a lot of carpooling." Later, an individual sponsor came through to help cover her club soccer expenses. Many of the Johnson kids benefited from sponsors who supported their club sports endeavors. "We've been really blessed with having people see our situations and know that we have potential," Esther said. Each kid played three or four different sports, according to their father. But Jerry still managed to make it to nearly every single event his kids participated in. One particular Saturday, he traveled to seven different games in two different cities to watch all of his children play. Estelle's mother, however, didn't enjoy watching the games at all. Estelle said her mother has been to four of her games during her entire athletic career. "she gets really scared that were going to get hurt," Estelle said. Djenela concentrated on keeping the kids in line at home. Jerry said he was the one responsible for keeping order among all the kids. "We had zero tolerance for any of the kids getting mad at each other very seriously," Jerry said. "Overall, there was absolutely no problem." The close bond encouraged in the family remains strong. Even with all the kids moved out of the home, Jerry still speaks to each one nearly every day, and the kids are all in constant contact with one another. Estelle said catching up with family can quickly turn into a web of three-way calls and putting people on hold. "It gets really chaotic," she said. Weston White/KANSAN But it is a chaos that has supported Estelle throughout her life. She and her siblings are aware of how imperative their family has been to their success. "All of us have learned from each other," Esther said. "We know we're very very lucky to have each other and to be as close as we are." Despite her family's struggles, Estelle wouldn't have had it any other way. "When you have that much of a support system," she said, "it's hard not to love it." KU 24 Estelle Johnson prepares for a kick in the game against Long Beach State last Friday. Johnson played soccer with her nine siblings as a child. - Edited by Samantha Foster Before the 2005 season, Ault installed the pistol as Nevada's primary offensive formation. And Ault said the running back's ability to start "deeper" — or farther behind the line of scrimmage — is the offense's biggest advantage. PISTOL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) During the winter, coach Mark Mangino watched tape of Ault's pistol offense. After talking with Warriner — and after talking with teams that run the formation — the hawkaws decided to install the Players said Kansas practiced the offense routinely throughout the offseason. "I didn't have anything better to do this summer so I thought I'd look at something different," Mangino joked. "We're not going to make a living doing it. But it's a good change-up for us." TENNIS Facing Northern Colorado, Kansas consistently used the pistol formation. And the results seemed pistol this season. "It it allows us to get downhill a little faster and see blocks develop differently on certain plays we like to run out of it," freshman running back Toben Opurum said. "But it really helps because when you throw different formations and personnel at the defense, it's hard for them to stop that." to verify its effectiveness in the running game: The Jayhawks rushed for 328 yards. "That's the way our offense is," senior wide receiver Kerry Meier said. "We keep on evolving." But the formation also creates another added offensive wrinkle that opposing defenses must prepare for. In the spread-heavy Big 12, teams are always searching for new aspects to add on offense. Mangino said that some of Kansas' tricks and plays involving the pistol formation were left on the practice field to be unveiled at a later date. And quarterback Todd Reesing said the formation was one he expected the layhawks to continue using this season. Edited by Tim Burgess Still, the pistol's most enticing aspect still revolves around a rather simple idea: Place the running back up deeper in the formation to see the line of scrimmage better. NYC filmmaker sues for in-game discrimination State Supreme Court Justice Michelle Weston reserved decision on a request to allow Brooklyn filmmaker Alan Rich to record the wheelchair competition at this week's U.S. Open. NEW YORK — A New York City documentary filmmaker sued the U.S. Tennis Association on Tuesday, claiming it discriminates against wheel-chair players by refusing to sell broadcast licensing rights to their matches. The wheelchair division, which features 20 of the top players, begins competition Thursday and ends Sunday. Rich, a lawyer who is representing himself and seven handicapped players in the case, has been filming a documentary about the players called "Fire in the Belly." He said his immediate goal is to be permitted to film the competition and later argue in court over whether the footage can be used in his documentary. He contends that because the major networks covering the tournament—CBS, ESPN and the Tennis Channel—do not cover the wheelchair events, he should be given the rights. "No doubt, many of us in society are not comfortable watching amputees in wheelchairs play sports yet," Rich said in his court papers. "While I do not fault the broadcasters for doing what, at present, they view as commercially viable, the USTA cannot have a policy that has the result of discriminating against these outstanding athletes with disabilities."

Then he went out and won the Deutsche Bank Championship — his second victory and sixth top 10 in 10 FedEx Cup events. No one has more wins, more top 10 finishes, or more rounds in the 60s in the playoffs in the $2\frac{1}{2}$ years since the tour conceived the end of the year points race. Not even Tiger Woods. "We're taking up space in his world," Stricker said on Monday after shooting a 4-under 67 to win at TPC of Boston and take over the top spot in the FedEx Cup standings. "We all know who the guy is out here. I'm just happy to be in the position I'm at and with the opportunity to do something special for myself. He's done enough other special things, maybe let somebody else do something special." The tour created the playoff system — and its $10 million bonus — in 2007, hoping to copy the cachet of the tournaments that team sports have long used to crown a champion. It may not be as celebrated as winning a major (or even leading the money list), but whatever challenge the points race has posed, Stricker has responded. He won The Barclays in 2007 and finished second to Woods in the FedEx Cup that year. Last year, when Woods was recovering from a knee injury, Stricker finished 14th. "He's done enough special things, maybe let somebody else do something special." Championship. "My goal coming into these first three events was just to make sure that I played well and remained in the top five so I could have a chance to win it all," Stricker said. "I think this pretty much does it." With a second place finish at The Barclays last week and a victory in Boston, Stricker took over first place in this year's standings, 909 points ahead of Woods. STEVE STRICKER Golfer With a FedEx Cup title, Stricker could even make a case for Player of the Year. Because the points are reset after the BMW Championship in Chicago, Stricker is assured of being no worse than the No. 2 seed in the season-ending Tour Of course, Woods has a tidy little argument as well. Hes won five times this year, to three for Stricker. Woods has won more than $8 million, to Stricker's $6 million. Woods failed to win a major this year, but Stricker has never won one. And Woods is still No. 1 in the world, though Stricker moved up to No. 2 with his victory on Monday. Stricker's six top 10 playoff finishes is tied for the most with Camilo Villegas. Stricker is one of three golfers, along with Jim Furyk and Sergio Garcia, who has played in all 40 playoff rounds. NFL Vick goes back to school, speaks against dogfighting Ashley Scott BY JOANN LOVIGLIO Associated Press Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick speaks to students at Nueva Esperanza Academy in Philadelphia yesterday. Vick told the students his decisions imperiled the goals he had set for himself since childhood. PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick, speaking to a group of Philadelphia high school students Tuesday, warned against the dangers of peer pressure and offered himself as a cautionary tale of what can happen when someone is a follower instead of a leader. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, who served prison time for running a dogfighting ring, addressed a rapt audience of 200 freshmen on their first day at Nueva Esperanza Academy, a North Philadelphia charter school. He urged the students to make the right choices and to resist the temptation to follow the crowd. "I didn't choose to go the right way, which led to 18 months in prison, which was the toughest time of my life," he said. "Being away from my family, being away from my kids who I adore dearly, and being away from the game of football, doing something so foolish, and I wish I could take it all back. "I was influenced by so many people when I should have been a leader, not a follower." The 10-minute talk marked Vick's first anti-dogfighting public appearance in Philadelphia since he signed a one-year, $1.6 million deal with the Eagles on Aug. 13. At the time, he expressed a desire "to be part of the solution and not the problem" by speaking to children around the country about dogfighting. Speaking without notes, Vick told the hushed assembly Tuesday that his poor decisions imperiled the goals he had set for himself. "Growing up, I had dreams ano I always wanted to have this great, lavish life and make it to the NFL, go and accomplish great things and leave a great legacy. That was my goal from a young kid," Vick said. "My future was promising ... at some point, I got sidetracked. I started listening to my friends and doing some things that were not ethical and not right." He said he tried to do the right things at school and at home, "but I had another side to me, and it was a dark side." Vick visited the school with Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. Pacelle has said he met with Vick in prison at the quarterback's request and that Vick sought to work with the group after his release. Vick and the organization are working on "a national campaign to try to reach especially young people so we can all be voices against organized animal fighting," specifically dogfighting and cockfighting, Pacelle said. "It's really a test of our character as individuals about being good to those who are less powerful," he said. Once the highest paid player in the NFL, Vick was suspended from the league following his conviction in August 2007 on charges of conspiracy and organizing the dogfighting ring. He was released from federal custody July 20.

Alexander had a big opening game with 10 catches for 132 yards in Missouri's 37-9 victory. BY HARRY PLUMER Associated Press MIZZOU COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Gary Pinkel had high hopes for Danario Alexander when he recruited the Marlin, Texas, native. After two injury-filled seasons, the Tigers wide receiver appears ready to live up to those lofty expectations. Alexander had career bests with 10 receptions and 132 receiving yards in Saturday's 37-9 win over Illinois in the season opener for both teams. The Tigers host Bowling Green on Saturday in their home opener. The win over Illinois came in St. Louis on the same field where Alexander broke his wrist in the 2007 season opener, forcing him to miss three games and allowing Jeremy Maclin to emerge as the Tigers' go-to receiver. Now, Alexander is hopeful that he'll finally stay healthy and fulfill his promise. Staying healthy has been the biggest obstacle in Alexander's career. "It was relieving to know I could still play at a high level," Alexander said. "It felt good to leave the game healthy." After the injury in 2007, Alexander returned for an eight-catch, 117-yard performance against then No.2 Kansas in a win that sent the Tigers to the Big 12 championship game. In that loss to Oklahoma, Alexander tore the ACL in his left knee. After surgery, he tore the ligament again the following spring, forcing him to miss the first two games of the 2008 season. He finished the season with just 26 catches. The Tigers came into this season with a lot of questions after losing Maclin, tight end Chase Coffman, quarterback Chase Daniel and other stars to graduation or the NFL. Pinkel and new offensive coordinator David Yost believe Alexander will play a key role in guiding a rebell offense now under the control of sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert. "It was great to end the game and have him walking off the field and excited and happy," Yost said of Alexander. Six of Alexander's catches against the illini came on third or fourth down. He gets open," said Gabbert, who was 25-for-33 for 319 yards and three touchdowns. "He can also take a 1-yard catch and make it a 30-year gain."

Today, The Kansan will conclude the two-part feature by highlighting the team's four remaining newcomers. ANNETTE DAVIS Having Antonio Davis, a 13-year NBA veteran, as a father would give most some notion of entitlement and complacency. Annette Davis, however, was never one to settle for just that. "Everyone says I play like him, but just staying in the gym with my coaches and sister made me the player I am," Davis said. t The 6-foot-1 inch forward and 2009 McDonald's All-American nominee was on the radar for both Missouri and Texas A&M, but Annette said she saw a difference Follow Kansan sports writers Christian Lucero and Ben Ward at twitter.com/ looose30 and twitter.com/ bm_dub. in Kansas, which made the decision easier. "The fact that everyone believes we have a chance to do something big was important for me," Davis said. Coming to a school with eight returning letter winners, Annette said staying in the gym would be a big factor in adjusting to Big 12 basketball and competing for playing time. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Annette's short learning curve had helped ease the transition to university play, and the graduate from Bellaire High School said she expected the team's work in the offseason to pay off with more than just wining. "Expect something different," Davis said. "We want a big turnout adidas This year's freshmen add to an already talented team and include: Annette Davis, Carolyn Davis, Monica Engelman and Marisha Brown. Welcome Students From SCOOTER'S COFFEE HOUSE 9th & Iowa Bring This In For Buy One Get One Free Smoothies Bring Your New Roommate! Ends 09/30/09 because we're not going to settle for just anything this year." "We really want turnouts," she said. "We're a good team, but it seems like we get outshined by the boys. We want people to come out and see the girls are just as good as the boys." CAROLYN DAVIS Annette and Carolyn Davis aren't sisters, though an argument could be made for it by taking a closer look. Both attended high school in Houston and played on the same Amateur Athletic Union team. Carolyn, like Annette, averaged a double-double during her senior year, notching 19 points and 11 rebounds per game. She also garnered numerous postseason accolades while catching the eye of the same big time schools. Having the same last name doesn't hurt the comparison, either. Given all of the similarities between the two, it isn't surprising that Carolyn also has high expectations for her freshman season. Ultimately though, Carolyn simply hopes to add to an already talented lavihawk roster. "KU had a great year last year," she said. "But I think I can bring a lot to the team. Now I just have to keep in shape and be ready to play." MARISHA BROWN "The competition is never as great, so it's going to be hard to get used to." Brown said. As a junior college transfer, Marisha Brown never thought adjusting to the Division I level of play would be easy. attended in three years. As far as work in the classroom goes, Brown said she doesn't foresee any problems, but that the work on the court is a challenge – one that she is more than up to. "Now that everyone's as athletic as everyone else, all I can do now is work to be as athletic as I can and get better every day," Brown said. But Brown is well-acustomed to change, her move to Lawrence marking the third college she has She also said that her coaches and teammates were making the transition easier. Brown should help bolster the Jayhawk backcourt with what Henrickson described as a combination of speed, athleticism and strength. Add to that list her in- game experience: She started all 32 of her team's games last season and averaged 14 points and seven rebounds per contest. MONICA ENGELMAN In selecting Monica Engelman, Kansas adds a guard with All-State accolades in Texas, coming off of her senior season with averages of 17.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and more than three steals and assists per game. Though Engelman was unavailable for comment this week, Henrickson spoke glowingly of the strengths of the new guard. Henrickson said. "She has the ability to score in different ways, and can create her own shot." Described by Henrickson as soft-spoken and a player who leads by example, Engelman should fit in well with the rest of the Jayhawk guards. Henrickson also said that Engelman had an excellent summer training with the team, and that her transition into fall has been smooth. Be on the lookout for all seven of the newbies, as well as the rest of the Jayhawks, as they get back into action Nov. 1 at Allen Fieldhouse against Pittsburg State. "She's a very skilled player," — Edited by Jacob Muselmann BASEBALL Royals recall Gordon from Triple-A Omaha KANSAS CITY.Mo. — The Kansas City Royals have recalled third baseman Alex Gordon from Triple-A Omaha and selected the contract of left-hander Lenny DINardo. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 draft, Gordon missed three months after hip surgery in April and hit .227 in 22 games before the Royals sent him down to Omaha on Aug.18. DiNardo, 29, was 10-5 with a 3.32 ERA in 29 games for Omaha, including 23 starts. He will start Thursday against Detroit, pushing ace Zack Greinke back a day. The Royals placed right-hander Doug Waechter (shoulder surgery) on the 60-day DL to make room for DiNardo on the 40-man roster on Tuesday. Kansas City is still awaiting word on starters Brian Bannister and Gil Meche, who are bothered by shoulder fatigue. Associated Press THE SEARCH FOR THE SHIRT CONTINUES YOUR SCHOOL. YOUR SHIRT.

LAWRENCE | 4A soft ls by in hawk that merer it her tooth. ofest of into mouse THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2009 AIDS Library display raises AIDS awareness BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com The display, "Reach Out: Scholarly and Visual Communication to Promote AIDS Awareness," opens on the third floor of Watson Library tonight at 5 p.m. and includes both new information on the disease and older University Daily Kansan articles covering its presence at the University in the 1980s, said Rebecca Smith, KU Libraries communications director. A collection of posters for AIDS awareness, research on AIDS from the KU Medical Center and a scrapbook of undergraduate field study on AIDS in Uganda will all be on display in the newest KU Libraries exhibit. Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she has seen a growing need for raising AIDS awareness and concern in the KU community since those articles were published. In the 1980s, she said, students exercised more caution because they often could connect a face of someone they knew who had died from AIDS. Now, she said, she has noticed that students no longer take AIDS as seriously, despite its continuing presence and threat at the University, because newer medications delay its onset in people who have contracted HIV. "Prior to the early '90s, individuals died within weeks to months of discovering they had HIV", Quinlan said. "There's complacency because it has become a chronic disease with the amount of knowledge we have about the virus. It's not as feared as it once was. I think there's a strong misconception that it won't happen to the individual, that it's someone else's disease." According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, there were 300,400 people living with HIV or AIDS statewide. Quinlan said Watkins always related results of positive HIV tests to students in person and that the reactions she has seen have consistently been the same. She compared them to the reactions people have when they lose their closest loved ones unexpectedly. “It's no different.” Quinlan said, that stunned feeling.

Trevor Manthey, a graduate research assistant in social welfare, was life-flighted to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka after being hit by a truck, KU Public Safety Office captain Schuyler Bailey said. Manthey was riding a bicycle when he was hit on Engel Road slightly south of 15th Street around 4 p.m., Bailey said. No more information about Manthey's medical status could be obtained. Anthony Livengood, Overland Park sophomore, was walking when he was hit near the intersection of Naismith Drive and Crescent Road around 7:45 a.m. according to Lawrence Police representatives. Hillary Hoffman, Overland Park junior, was the driver in the accident and was cited at the scene for failure to yield to a pedestrian, Kim Murphree, Lawrence Police spokeswoman said. Livengood was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Dana Meredith, Lenexa sophomore and University Daily Kansan staff member, was walking on Jayhawk Boulevard at the time of the collision in which Livengood was hit. She described hearing the screech of brakes and then "an awful thud." She said she saw Livengood being turned face-up as he lay on the pavement and described his face as bloody and "very dazed." By chance, Meredith also witnessed the scene of Manthey's accident. She said she did not see Manthey, but saw police interviewing the driver of the truck involved in the collision "for a good hour."

GETTING SMARTER Illustration by Drew Stearns/KANSAN Toughening up admissions Parkinson hopes to improve University's academic ranking by attracting better students DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson wants the University of Kansas to improve its national rankings but he isn't asking football coach Mangino or basketball coach Bill Self to lead the way. In a recent address to the Board of Regents, Parkinson called for the six state universities, Kansas, Kansas State, Pittsburgh State, Wichita State, Emporia state and Fort Hays State to improve their standings in national college rankings such as the US News & World Report. Instead, the University is counting on students' ability to perform in the classroom. "Our graduation rates have to be better," Lynn Bretz, University spokeswoman, said. "Improve these and rankings will follow." Though the rankings are widely read and accepted, state officials still acknowledge flaws in relying on subjective rankings to judge academic success. University officials said improved rankings could bolster the University's national reputation, keeping outstanding students in-state, attracting high quality out-ofstate students and strengthening employment opportunities for graduates. "There are many ways to raise rankings without actually improving education," Kansas Regent Jill Docking said. "Any ranking system has flaws." Parkinson addressed several University shortcomings that contributed to the University's low ranking in the U.S. News & World Report's annual college rank- BIG 12 BREAKDOWN Academic rankings/ Fall 2008 acceptance rates 2.

NATIONAL NATIONAL 4.0officials release details of recently hijacked plane WASHINGTON — A U.S. official says American, French and Mexican citizens were among the passengers aboard a hijacked plane in Mexico. The U.S. official briefed on the matter says preliminary reports also indicate up to eight people were arrested in the incident. The official was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official says the plane held 112 passengers and crew. COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus mayor has ordered the city to discuss a financial settlement with a teenager cleared of killing his identical twin. 5. City settles with teen cleared of twin's murder Mayor Michael Coleman directed his public safety director and the city attorney on Wednesday to start settlement talks with 19-year-old Derris Lewis and his attorney. Prosecutors dropped an ag-gravated murder charge against Lewis last month in the January 2008 slaying of his brother, Dennis. The development came after a test failed to find Derris Lewis' blood on a palm print that had been a main piece of evidence at trial. 6. Districts implement Bible literacy curriculum DALLAS — Some Texas school districts are scrambling to interpret a state law that requires public schools to incorporate Bible literacy into the curriculum. The Legislature provided little guidance, no funding for materials or teacher training when it passed the law in 2007 requiring Bible literacy to be taught starting in the 2009-2010 school year. Attorney General Greg Abbott has said the law doesn't require schools to offer a Bible course, although they can offer it as an elective. However, they must provide some sort of lessons, he said. Associated Press Spotlight on Organizations | TOMS Shoes BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com Cherie Gossett, Olathe junior, first heard about the TOMS movement while watching a segment on a morning TV show last April. She said she was instantly intrigued by the report. "I thought 'Wow, what an inspirational way of making an impact,'" Gossett said. When she visited the Website for the organization, which is dedicated to giving shoes to impoverished people around the world, she noticed it was looking for campus representatives and decided the University needed an organization to support the cause. 203 & 12 Contributed photo "I applied over the summer and got the job as a representative." Gossett said. "Then I had to go through registration for it to become an actual campus group." This is the first semester for the TOMS Shoes University of Kansas group. For every pair of shoes purchased from the company, it gives away a pair of shoes to a child in need as part of its "One for One" program. According to tomsshoes.com, the organization has successfully given away over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in developing countries like Argentina, South Africa and Ethiopia. Gossett said the movement is important because, for some, walking is the main mode of transportation. "You don't really think about it but in some countries people have to walk to get everywhere, and sometimes they are walking barefoot through dangerous things like contaminated soil," Gossett said. Cherie Gossett sits outside the Multicultural Resource Center, next to the Kansas Union. Gossett is the founder of the TOMS chapter at the University. The organization gives shoes to children in developing countries. The 16 members of the KU organization will plan events to raise awareness about the cause. Since TOMS was launched in 2006, it has become a cultural trend. The bands Hanson and Hellogoodbye are supporting the cause with their "Use your Sole" tour and will play at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City Oct. 2. In addition to the concert, "We will work to throw two major events on campus each semester," Gossett said. Hanson will lead participants in a one-mile walk with the "Take the Walk" campaign, an organization that is partners with TOMS. Gossett said she hopes to begin planning the events soon to get the word out around campus. "Our main goal is to help children in need in the world and get KU students to support TOMS", Gossett said.

Although the University ranked as the state's highest at 96th out of 260 national universities, Parkinson called the state's overall position "mediocrea." He set a goal that the University ranks as a top-50 national university within 10 years. Parkinson specifically mentioned increasing admission standards to improve the state's retention and graduation rates. "Our open enrollment policy has hurt our rankings considerably," Parkinson told the Regents. "It has lowered our ACT and GPA scores and more importantly, resulted in students who are not ready for college-level classes." RANKING BREAKDOWN US News & World Report uses 15 categories to determine a university's ranking. Admission standards, which includes the ACT and SAT scores of incoming freshmen and the number of freshmen who graduate in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, account for 15 percent of the final ranking. The category also weighs the acceptance rate of applicants. The University's current admissions standards require that in-state students score at least a 21 on their ACT or 980 on their SAT; rank in the top third of their high-school class; or have a cumulative 2.0 high school grade point average. According to the US News & World Report, the University's fall 2008 acceptance rate of 91.8 percent was the highest among Big 12 schools, meaning more students are accepted at the University than anywhere else in the Big 12. The University of Texas, which was ranked 47th by US News & World Report, had an acceptance rate of 43.5 percent. Docking, who graduated from the University with a master's degree in business in 1984, said that she thought the University's standards were outdated and that she supported Parkinson's challenge. By raising admission standards, Docking said a greater proportion of students would succeed. She said this would help increase student retention and graduation rates. "If kids only need these to enroll, we are setting them up to fail," Docking said. Retention rates measure the proportion of students that return to campus the following year and eventually graduate within a six-year period. This counts for 20 percent of the U.S. News ranking. According to the University's Web site, the six-year graduation rate was 59.6 percent for the class of 2008, which was below the national average of 60 percent. "The governor's objectives are not necessarily the goals of the board."Docking said. Bretz said that improving graduation rates was a top priority for Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. She said raising admission standards could help accomplish this goal. She said the Regents planned to appoint a task force to review these standards. The report is expected to take between six and nine months to complete. Under state law, the Regents can determine admission standards at the four state universities. KU alumna Kim Wells said students would benefit if the University improved its ranking. After gradu "Raising retention and graduation rates is the key to success," Bretz said. "Wed rather see students at the finish line than the starting line." BENEFIT FOR STUDENTS Docking said although she agreed with the governor's assessment, the Regents would determine their own plans for state institutions. ating from the University in 1971. Wells studied law at the higher-ranked University of Virginia. He said the biggest difference between the schools was the overall quality of students. He said that having a higher-ranked program attracted a more competitive student body, which produced more serious students. Wells, now a partner in the Kansas City law firm Gilmore & Bell, said having a degree from a high-ranked university created opportunities for him. "The better the school is ranked, the more doors open for you," Wells said. "Getting credentials is a part of life." Mason Heilman, student body president, agreed that higher rankings would benefit the University. He said it would attract higher quality students, making the University more prestigious and nationally recognized. "We are a research institution competing with other research institutions for quality students and faculty," Heilman said. "Obviously better rankinates would give us an edge." Despite such benefits, critics argue that the U.S. News rankings are subjective and easily abused. According to US News & World Report, 25 percent of the ranking is based on a peer assessment determined by surveying administrators from other similarly categorized schools. "I am familiar with the game that is college rankings," Docking said. "However, rankings are still an important measure." RELIABILTY OF RANKINGS Bretz added that although the governor's stated goals were to boost the rankings, the real mission was to improve the state's higher education. In some instances, university administrators have admitted to working to manipulate rankings. A June 4, 2009, Associated Press story reported that Catherine Watt, former head of Clemson University's institutional research office, admitted to altering class sizes, tampering with faculty salary data and instructing administrators to rank all other schools lower than Clemson on the peer assessment. Docking said that she recognized this potential abuse of the rankings, but that they remained an important factor in assessing the state of our higher education. "We would be elated to see KU's KU ADMISSION STANDARDS FOR FRESHMEN Out-of-State Residents : Kansas Residents : Achieve an ACT score of 21 or above or an SAT score of 980 or above.

The forecast called for a chance of thunderstorms. Conditions were expected to worsen Friday and remain poor Saturday. they are thornier poor barbary. "The weather in Florida this time of year is always a little ify," Discovery's commander Rick Sturckow, said from orbit. "If things aren't good, the worst that can come out of it is that we have another day in space, which is a great deal." In orbit since Aug. 29, Discovery has enough supplies to last until Sunday. If the shuttle cannot return to Florida on Thursday, NASA will consider landing it in California, but not until Friday at the earliest. The shuttle is also carrying a Buzz Lightyear figure. The 12-inch action figure, of Disney's Toy Story, rocketed into "infinity and beyond" aboard Discovery in May 2008. Once Walt Disney World gets the toy back, it will be feted at a tickertape parade early next month with Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon. opra assured a TV interviewer that Buzz is doing well after so long in space. Associated Press 14 Scott McEathron, associate librarian, prepares the Reach Out exhibit in Watson Library Wednesday. The exhibit features scholarly work about AIDS awareness. Andrew Hoxey/KANSAN Sarah Goodwin Thiel, chairwoman of the Libraries Exhibits Committee, said eight faculty members as well as other graduate and undergraduate students at the University this fall have conducted research — independently and in groups — to combat the disease. She said the KU Libraries tried to incor- dents facing mortality issues they weren't prepared for facing at ages 18 to 24. Their life expectancy has been shortened.

One of the undergraduate "There's a strong misconception that it won't happen to the individual." researchers with work on display, Hannah Nusz, Kansas City, Kan., senior, received a grant to travel to Uganda in 2007 for a two-month research project on prevention methods in the area. PATTY QUINLAN Nursing supervisor "Uganda had one of the lowest AIDS rates in that part of Africa," Nusz said. "So I wanted to look at what their model was for treating and dealing with AIDS." "The reality of how AIDS affects the lives of individuals, families and communities became more real to me than it has been before." Nusz said. "Even in America there are people whose lives are drastically changed and affected by AIDS. I hope raising awareness enlightens students about what kind of research is being done Nusz said that even though Uganda had a relatively low occurrence of AIDS in its population, what she discovered still renewed her appreciation for the opportunities available for increasing AIDS awareness in the U.S. and what knowledge is there for them." 亿代数码软载软件 AIDS awareness posters he has collected across six of the seven continents to the Spencer Research Library.

In Lawrence, it's being used to connect people to raise money for a charitable cause. Contributed illustration The very first Lawrence Twestival is tonight at Jo Shmo's, 724 Massachusetts St. Tweeters will buy tickets there for the chance to win a variety of prizes. All of the proceeds will go to the Lawrence Humane Society. Ben Smith, local organizer for Lawrence Twestival, decided to jump at the opportunity to help with the event after he experienced success at Lawrence tweetups, or meetings, for Twitter users. "A tweetup is a chance for people to meet offline and really build up their relationships," Smith said. "The Twestival is the same concept but everyone is coming together for a common cause and to promote awareness for that particular cause." Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said she wasn't a Twitter user but she was thrilled to be chosen as the recipient of the Twestival's earnings. "I know it's a really up and coming thing and a lot of the younger people are really into it so it's exciting to get that group involved," she said. Grinstead said the proceeds from the Twestival would contribute to the society's general fund. It would help take care of the influx of animals it has seen lately. WHEN: 6 to 10 p.m. TICKET COST: $12 in advance, $15 at the door WHAT: Twestival charity event for Lawrence Humane Society WHERE: Jo Shmo's restaurant and bar, 724 Massachusetts St. Proceeds go to Lawrence Humane Society "This time of year we house about 800 animals a day and by the end of summer, we're pretty stressed," Grinstead said. "Every dime that comes in here matters, and so everything we get from everybody is just as important." For the past few months, Frank Siler, Lawrence graduate student, had been considering adopting from the Humane Society. As soon as he heard about the Lawrence Twestival on Twitter, he bought a ticket almost immediately, he said. "It was a synergy of interest between Twitter and the Humane Society," Siler said. Siler, whose tweet tally totals about 1,800, has been a Tweeter for about a year. He said he thought using Twitter to fundraise helped news travel quickly and attracted more businesses. They could use Twitter for more exposure on events. Anyone who buys a ticket and attends the Twestival receives a goody bag full of items donated by businesses. The bags include items such as a ticket to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival or coupons for free cover into the Barrel House and Sandbar. It will also have tickets to win numerous other prizes in drawings throughout the night. Smith and a small committee started planning the Twestival about two months ago. He said Twitter was a great tool to help spread the word. "One of the goals of it is to show people that social media has the power to connect people and make an impact," Smith said. "It's something which I wish other non-profit organizations would take a look at — it's a great tool and it doesn't cost anything." Smith said he expected more than 100 people to attend the Twestival tonight. "They're just going to get a great night out and be part of a very unique social media event," Smith said.

Flight 93 was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when hijackers took it over with the likely goal of crashing it into the White House or Capitol. The official 9/11 Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane as passengers tried to wrest control of the cockpit.

SUA offers a night of comedy with a side of pizza DAN CUMMINS REVENGE IS NEAR PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT BY BRANDON SAYERS Contributed photo bsayers@kansan.com Students will be able to get free pizza and a free comedy show tonight at the third annual Pizza & a Comedian event. Student Union Activities is organizing the event, which begins at 6:30 p.m. in Hashinger Theater I am a very kind and loving person. I will always be there for you. at Hashinger Hall. During the event, students will be able to vote for their favorite pizza in Lawrence and see comedian Dan Cummins perform standup comedy from his upcoming Comedy Central special. The Cummins event will be opened by Those People, a student group that will be performing improv comedy. Jabiz Behzadpour, special events coordinator for SUA, said Pizza & a Comedian was one of the most popular annual events that the group organized. At last year's event, comedian Sabrina Jalees performed and students voted Pizza Shuttle the best in Lawrence. This year's featured comedian is Dan Cummins, a standup comic whose work has been featured on "Last Comic Standing," Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" and "Last year, Hashinger Theater was full at a maximum capacity of 300 people, and there was still a line of people wanting to get in after the show had started" Behzadpour said. PIZZA AND A COMEDIAN **WHAT:** Performances by Dan Cummins and Those People **WHEN:** 6:30 tonight **WHERE:** Hashinger Theater, Hashinger Hall "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson." The Kansan had a chance to talk with Cummins recently to discuss his comedic style, upcoming television special and what it's like to perform in front of college students. Edited by Sarah Kelly As of Wednesday, the following local businesses have confirmed they will be providing pizza at the event: Gambino's Hy-vee Wheat State Papa Murphy's Papa morphy's Pizza Shuttle Pizza Shuttle Wheat State (as served in Oliver Hall) Each student will be able to vote for the one pizza they liked best. To ensure there is a fair vote, colored toothpicks will be used to identify the different types of pizza. Q&A WITH CUMMINS: Kansan: All right Dan, let's say that you've just seen yourself perform standup for the first time. How would you describe what you saw? Dan Cummins: Well, I guess a few words that come to mind are dry, sarcastic and off-the-hall humor. In general, I would classify my comedy as pretty absurd. I saw a quote the other day where an author was asked to describe their book in a few sentences and he said, "Well if I could describe it in a few sentences I wouldn't have wrote the book."I kind of feel like that when it comes to standup. I get asked these questions every time and I never know how to answer because I just think my act is really unique and unlike everything else out there. Kansan: Can you say a few things about some of your influences as a comic? Dan Cummins: I would say Steven Wright, Daniel Tosh and Dave Attell are my main three influences. You know, when I first started doing standup everyone would say, "Just talk about your family, talk about where you're from, make me autobiographical, Dan Cummins: I was verv don't do this, don't do that," and I found it really hard to write jokes that way. When I saw someone like Daniel Tosh for the first time, it wasn't like "Oh, I want to do what he's doing." It was more like "Oh, you can get away with those things you were too afraid to say." Kansan: Your half-hour television special recently took third place during Comedy Central's standup showdown. How did that make you feel? Dan Cummins: I was very excited. It was cool to know that people liked it and everything. But, the best part was when my manager called and said that Comedy Central liked it so much they wanted me to do an hourlong special. Kansan: You're currently on tour and have been doing a majority of your shows for college students. How do you like having an audience of primarily college students? Dan Cummins: College audiences are great. I feel like when you're in college your mind is more open to different things and you have more time to pursue the things you passionate about. I also know most college students grew up on Comedy Central, so they are usually more standup than older folks and seem to be more responsive to the shows.I definitely like a college crowd better than, say, a bar crowd. Kansan: How much will your show here at the University be a practice run for your upcoming television special? Dan Cummins: Basically the first hour or so of my set will be new material directly from my new special. When you see it on Comedy Central in a few months, I may have changed a few words here and there, but it's going to be about 99 percent the same. Kansan: I don't know if you've heard this yet, but in addition to the free comedy that is being provided, this event will also feature free pizza. What do you think about that combination? Dan Cummins: Well that should bring some more people to the show. I do love pizza. Unfortunately, I'm lactose intolerant so I won't be going crazy at the pizza buffet. But, I think those two things are the perfect college combination. If you could have free beer along with it, I'm pretty sure most of the University would show up. I don't know how much attention they'd pay to my set at that point, but they'd certainly be around. POLITICS N.M. Gov. involved in minor boating accident SANTA FE, N.M. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's chief of staff was at the helm of a houseboat involved in a minor weekend accident on Elephant Butte Lake with the governor aboard. Brian Condit was cited with negligent operation of the vessel and damage to property. According to an accident report released Wednesday, Condit was operating the 81-foot houseboat, "The Bloody Mary," when it hit two other houseboats in a marina on Saturday. Condit said in a statement he wasn't experienced enough to try to navigate a boat that size and will not contest the citations. There was damage to two of the boats and the marina, but no injuries. Other passengers on the houseboat included its owner and Katherine Miller, New Mexico's secretary of finance and administration. Associated Press Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

Beatles fans drawn to UK for remastered CD set Associated Press MUSIC It's not exactly 1964 — no fainting teens or visible signs of feverish Beatlemania — but the longawaited release of the remastered Beatles CDs and the Rock Band video game has again brought the Fab Four to the top of the British charts. LONDON - The Beatles are back, sounding better than ever, and Britain is embracing them one more time. ASSOCIATED PRESS It was B-Day in much of the world Wednesday as the new versions of the old classics became available in Britain, the United States and elsewhere and many fans celebrated by flocking to Abbey Road, the studio where the Beatles recorded many of their hits. Or, as John Lennon liked to say, "to the toppermost of the poppermost." Uma Nolan, an Irish nurse visiting London, came to the landmark recording studio to be photographed at the pedestrian crossing near the building made famous on the "Abbey Road" album cover. She plans to buy the entire set of 17 remastered CDs — even though she already has all the songs in collection. "I will absolutely go out and buy them," she said. "I'm a huge Beatles fan and have every single LP in original first edition copies. "They were the first real pop group. The entire generation was waiting for that to happen. They sent worldwide pop culture off into orbit." Nolan, 50, said remastering the Beatles albums will introduce their masterworks to a new generation.

EDITORIAL BOARD Increased parking fines and fees good for downtown Lawrence THIS CAR Last week, the parking fees and fines for the downtown area were made stricter in just about every way possible, but because they focus on punishing parking violators, they are a common-sense way to fund downtown improvements and maintenance. Chance Dibben/KANSAN The fine increases were originally proposed by downtown merchants who wanted quicker turnover in short-term parking. "If I was planning on being on Mass. for an afternoon, I'd probably look for long-term parking now," Lindsay Marshall, Salma sophomore, said. Marshall received a parking ticket right before the fine increases took place. Parking in downtown Lawrence has always been an exceptionally good value compared to neighboring towns. Overtime Violators will also be charged a late fee of $12 if they don't pay the fine within 10 days, a fair trade considering how easy Lawrence makes it to pay these fines. All along Massachusetts Street are small yellow boxes to drop tickets in, making late fees a punishment for being only lazy or irresponsible According to information collected by the Lawrence City Commission, neighboring cities such as Topeka fine violators $8 and larger cities such as Kansas City write fines of $20. Another change to the downtown parking laws will make a quarter worth 30 minutes instead of an hour, in all two hour meters. This change seems more likely KANSAN'S OPINION to drive long-term parkers to the garages and parking lots; but should still generate more revenue for the downtown area while increasing the fees by only a quarter. Increasing the times that parking laws will be enforced could also have the secondary effect of lowering rush-hour congestion. Residents looking to get cheap parking might wait until after 6 p.m. before heading to Massachusetts Street, giving commuters a chance to beat heavy traffic. "Essentially, the fines and fees are to encourage long-term parkers to seek out long-term parking lots." Jonathan Douglass, city clerk, said. Another common sense fine adopted by the city of Lawrence is a "Habitual Violator" fine, which costs anyone who gets five tickets within 30 days an additional $50. This is a fair way of punishing those who refuse to pay for parking or seek out long-term parking lots. By raising downtown parking fees, the city also avoids having to make taxpayers who don't park downtown pay for the service. The fees and fines pay for the entire system: the courts, enforcement of the laws, downtown beautification and trash removal. Only those using the service end up having to pay for it. Usually, an increase in fees or fines is a justifiable outrage to the citizens of any city. However, the increased fines for downtown Lawrence parking are still extremely cheap. This is a fair approach to reducing the amount of long-term parkers on Massachusetts Street and keeping the downtown budget balanced. — Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board ART 'Fresh Ink' poetry refreshingly original A black microphone towers on stage, silver head glowing in the golden spotlight. A mahogany stool calmly offers soft contrast and comfort to the black music stand. J Phoenix, the live DJ, manipulates each bass hit and electronic wave. The bar is dim, people are anxious, the poets are ready. Fresh Ink, a monthly poetry reading held at the Jazzhaus, truly makes poets comfortable in their own art. The scene buzzes with energy of a much different variety than is typical seen on drunken Saturday nights. There are writers huddled in corners with their heads down, focusing on a last-minute poem that they might read in the next 10 minutes. The audience, people who came out to get a drink in a relaxing, yet inspirational, setting, quietly sit nearby. I first arrived as a poet wanting to get the feel of how Fresh Ink would hit me. It hit me on my forehead and told me to mark my calendar for the first Wednesday of every month. I have read at many poetry readings and poetry slams in Denver. THE L NICOLAS ROESLER I have felt nervous, obviously, but also intimidated by my surroundings. Some were too competitive, which took away from the simple pleasure of listening to sentences as they flow together and sweep your brain out of your head and into another place. Others were too unknown, nobody would show up and only three over-confident foets — "fake poets" — would read anything. The number of people there was perfect. The emcee, Sara Glass, was an inspiring woman who really made it clear that Fresh Ink was solely an outlet for people to be themselves. There were no judging eyes in the room on that night, only open eyes to see the art in everybody's life. The Jazzhaus struck me differently. "There is a wavelength you can tap into, everything becomes synchronicist," Glass said. "The atmosphere is amazing." Now, I can write descriptive hippy words all day if I needed to describe this poetry reading. "The aura of the room was a light purple haze, man," I would write. "We totally dug the heady energy and vibes of love, dude." But this place is truly something special. I believe it offers the perfect outlet for local poets who want to share their work. I saw funny poets, angry poets and some who would simply rant about their interesting week they just experienced. I am convinced that the poets of Lawrence must witness the life that this event pumps into the local poetry scene. Lawrence is renowned for poets. (William S. Burroughs and Langston Hughes both lived here for a part of their lives.) Fresh Ink is a great step to bring history making poetry back to our city. Roesler is a Denver junior in journalism. FROM NEBRASKA Obama's speech a success despite smears HEIDE GARVIN U. Nebraska Daily Nebraskan What's wrong with telling kids to get an education? In my experience, this is good advice, and most of us college students came here because we believe it. Apparently, though, when President Obama says it, this sound advice is transformed into "brainwashing." Sorry to break it to you, Greer, but if the children are in public school, they've already been exposed to a socialist aspect of the United States. Obama telling them to make the best of it doesn't In the past few weeks, the right's anger boiled viciously. It got to the point where Jim Greer, Florida's Republican Party chairman, actually accused the president of trying to "indoctrinate America's children to his socialist agenda" For instance, Ronald Reagan and George Bush both addressed school children as well. Would Greer have objected to them? I doubt it. make him a dirty, un-American Commie any more than it would past presidents who encouraged the same thing. And after the speech's transcript was released, even Greer had to admit that it was a good speech. But did he apologize for his previous accusations? Nope. Instead, he made more unfounded claims that the speech had been revised from its previous form to edit out all of Obama's socialist comments. Even with a new transcript though, the right's fear mongering had already done its damage. The uproar was deafening as conservative parents raised their voices in protest. They assumed the worst, without any evidence. In case you've forgotten, as many seem to have, we are still at war. A tremendous portion of the world still doesn't have clean drinking water and religious intolerance is running rampant. Sexism, racism and homophobia still exist. Hatred and greed still fuel the workings of the world. Don't these take precedence over one little speech, whether or not you agree with it? We have bigger issues to worry about than the president talking to students without parents around If Obama is encouraging students to get the education they need to help solve these problems, why in the world are we complaining? Shouldn't we be making the path down that road easier for them? Shouldn't we be concentrating on these problems ourselves? Shouldn't we be encouraging them, too? to censor him, especially when he's talking about staying in school and succeeding. BEN COLDHAM -UWire Hip-hip grows up $ MUSIC Hip-hop has been around for more than 30 years. It has evolved tremendously in that time, as it continues to grow in popularity and help shape popular culture and society as a whole. My golden age of hip-hop spans from 1990-2000, a decade that encompasses the release of what I consider to be the most original albums and collaborations in all of hip-hop history. As is the case with most every genre of music, hip-hop has passed through many phases throughout its development to become what it is today. That being said, there is always a golden age of hip-hop that every fan considers the period of time when the genre was at its greatest, a time when the best of the best were releasing their most prolific and influential works. This new wave of artists turned hip-hop into a grand contest to see who was the hardest, who made the most money and who kept it "trill" (true and real, for those unfamiliar with the work of UGK). Rapping about skills on the mike and what everyday hip-hoppers really do took a backseat to rappers' tales of Bentleys and yachts, mansions and "making it rain." Following the turn of the millennium, however, there was a sharp influx of Scarface-inspired artists whose songs were predominantly about gang-banging, selling drugs and the size of the rims on their car. Hip-hop has always possessed these attributes. Some of the best hip-hop songs of all time depict lives of violence and crime, but after the turn of the century it seemed that hip-hop had lost the feel-good vibes that had initially made it so popular decades ago. Young hip-hop fans became eager to get a taste of the lavish life they saw in the music videos. As a result, this "new school" hip-hop perpetuated itself with new artists seeking the millionaire lifestyle by creating the same brand of hip-hop while rapping about the same things: Drugs, money and maintaining a hardcore reputation. THOUGHTS FROM A HIP-HOP HEAD BEN COLDHAM Recently, hip-hop has begun to turn a corner as a conscious, more modest brand of the music has started to gain momentum with fans across the nation. This alternative brand of hiphop has laid dormant for years as far as the national stage is concerned. It is now beginning to flourish as a refreshing break from the repetitive formula followed by so many rappers in recent years. Self-proclaimed indie artists such as Little Brother, Kid Cudi and Wale have begun to make names for themselves on the commercial hip-hop scene. They have been receiving extensive support from popular, established artists such as Drake, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne, respectively. These artists and their music are becoming more accepted by national and corporate entities that dictate what music is played on television and promoted on the radio. Wale, for example, will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards Sept. 13, his first appearance on such a big stage. As this new brand of hip-hop continues to rise in popularity, the sales and popularity of southern, gangster rap has dwindled in the past couple of years. Coldham is a Chicago senior in journalism. I consider this to be a testament to the direction hip-hop will be taking in the near future, as fans become increasingly receptive to the more intelligent and conscious side of hip-hop than ever before in this millennium.

MEDICAL Studyfinds euthanasia increase after being legalized in Belgium BRUSSELS — Cases of euthanasia in Belgium's Flanders region soared to nearly 2 percent of all deaths in 2007 after the country legalized the practice a few years earlier, a medical study has shown. The survey, conducted by an end-of-life research group at the Brusselsbased Free University, said the rise was mainly due to Belgium's 2002 euthanasia law, which gave terminally ill patients more choices. we found that the enactment of the Belgian euthanasia law was followed by an increase in all types of medical end-of-life practices, with the exception of the use of lethal drugs without the patient's explicit request," the group said in a letter published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The survey is the third such study conducted on the controversial issue in Belgium, said Dr. Johan Bilsen, who helped conduct the study. His team surveyed a random sample of 6,202 death certificates of people who died between June and November 2007 in Flanders, a Dutch-speaking region that accounts for six million of Belgium's 10 million people. Associated Press CAMPUS Endowment sees record donations BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com djohnson@kansan.com In a year of budget cuts at the University, alumni are opening their wallets to help more than ever before. The number of donors and total donations to the Kansas University Endowment Association hit a new record last fiscal year, according to a KU press release on Tuesday. “Donors rallied around the University this year,” Seuferling said. “We are delighted.” According to the press release, 45,186 donors gave or pledged $106.4 million during the last fiscal year, which ended June 30. Both were record highs in the association's 118 years. He said the increased funds would help bring students, faculty and resources to the University. Dale Seuferling, president of the Endowment Association, said the increased donations during a tough economic year reflected the commitment of alumni to the University. University relations spokesman Todd Cohen said the University was encouraged by the news. He said endowment funds make up 10 percent of its budget. "The University is deeply appreciative to the donors,"Cohen said. "The funds help build the University's margin of success." The Kansan reported in December 2008 that the association would decrease its contribution by 10 percent for the 2009-2010 year. Returns from the its long-term investment program had declined more than 25 percent. The news places a positive light on a troubling year for the association, which Seuferling said had lost more than $320 million in investment returns. The 20 percent drop was the worst performance since 2002, when it suffered a 7.9 percent drop. "It's very gratifying to see the increase despite what's happening." Seuferling said. Mason Heilman, student body president, said the donations allow more opportunities for students. The donations will fund 88 new scholarships,12 new student awards,and three new endowed professorships, according to the press release. "With the economy down, people are realizing that KU is a sound investment in our state," Heilman said. Edited by Anna Kathagnarath CRIME ROME — Thirty women. Eighteen parties.

But don't worry, this change isn't as dramatic as those lurking in his past. But first we must focus on Thorson's latest transition: from backup center to starting left guard. It's a move that's both large and small. Those moves and decisions the ones that eventually landed Thorson at Kansas last season are a big part of his story. In the bigger picture, it shuffles Kansas' depth chart and finalizes the starting offensive line. In terms of on-field adjustments, the difference between center and guard is rather minimal. thorson only recently moved to guard after spending the beginning of his career at center. He says he's still a work in progress and he's only beginning to feel comfortable at his new position. Then he says something that captures his college football career.

COMMENTARY Football schedule spurs critics once again BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com A year and a half ago, after coaching Kansas to an Orange Bowl victory, Mark Mangino declared the critics silent. They had raised questions about Kansas' strength of schedule, casting doubt upon the legitimacy of a Kansas team which "hadn't beaten anybody." Virginia Tech provided the scalp Kansas needed to vindicate its rise in the rankings to the sports punditocracy. But, in sports, vindication has a shelf life of about one off-season. Quickly, it expires, and gives way to new questions — or, often enough, old questions asked again. Kansas wraps up nonconference play by welcoming Southern Miss to Lawrence. And, make no mistake about it, Southern Miss is pretty good. But the Golden Eagles don't figure to get within shouting distance of the Top 25 this year, nor are they a marquee name. One glance at the schedule for the fall had critics giving the "Kansas hasn't beaten anybody" trope a fresh coat of paint. "They" preemptively crafted their criticisms, ready to be cast should Kansas get off to its presumed 6-0 start. But hey, after the clash with the Miners, Kansas' next game is against a BCS conference opponent. That's something. It might even be a note-worthy something, if the opponent in question wasn't Duke. Duke, which lost to Richmond—an FCS team, albeit a good one—last week. Duke, where the best football players are bas ketball players. Unfortunately, college football's opening week didn't temper that perception. If anything, it may have strengthened it. Kansas opened by dispatching of Northern Colorado as comfortably as should have been expected. Which is fine. The Bears were brought to Lawrence to give the jayhaws a chance to get live game action against an unthreatening opponent. Mission accomplished. Tuneup games are a time-honored tradition in college football, especially when the following week promises a road trip. So to what ominous environment do the Jayhawks travel this coming weekend? The Sun Bowl, home of the Miners of University of Texas at El Paso. You don't just walk into that venue, against that team, and expect to win. Unless you're Buffalo. In which case, you just won there last week. You could also be UT Austin, New Mexico State, or Tulsa, all of which did the same last season. A marquee victory would do the Jayhawks good, given their auspicious start to Big 12 play. Kansas opens at home against Iowa State, then plays Colorado in Boulder. If all goes as expected, Kansas should be undefeated at the season's halfway point for the second time in three years. Just expect to hear those voices Mangino declared silent resume their critical chorus. Thankfully, unlike 2007, opportunities for Kansas to legitimize its success to a skeptical nation fill the season's second half. Beginning with an Oct. 24 showdown against damaged-but-dangerous Oklahoma, KU faces a six-game gauntlet that figures to provide the Jayhawks with a number of chances to do some critic silencing. Until then, kick back, stretch your legs; we'll wake you up when the games really begin. 1 Edited by Brenna M. T.

BEYOND SCHOOL "The entire team was very close and they enjoyed each other," Wilson's wife, JoAn Wilson said. "There wasn't any real need to," said Wilson. "It wasn't like today where you have road races and track races." After college Wilson and his wife, JoAn, moved around the country. Eventually, they landed in Indianapolis. Wilson was so busy with his career with the Traveler's Insurance Co. and his family that running kind of fell to the wayside. It was a request of a friend that began Wilson's interest in running again. "A neighbor of mine wanted to start running to lose weight," Wilson said. "We started running half a mile a day and built it up to five miles a day." It wasn't until they entered a three-mile race on Labor Day in 1978 that he started to believe that he could ever run for success again. "I think I finished fifth and so I got the bug," Wilson said. The bug carried him to gain local, statewide and eventually international recognition. He was ranked in the top 10 of his age group, on a national scale, every year from 1985 to 2005, but in 2003 he earned the honor of being the No. 2 runner in the country and the No. 4 four runner in the world in his age group. A 2005 hip injury ended his competitive career. Wilson was diagnosed with a brain tumor in September 2008. The doctor was able to remove 95 percent of the tumor, but Wilson still had to endure two six-month sessions of chemotherapy. Still, he exercises at least five times a week. "He's enthusiastic for the race and the good it does" Stroup said. This is the first year that the 'Head For the Cure 5K' will be held in Lawrence. The original 5K ran in Kansas City in honor of Chris Anthony who died, at age 37 from a brain tumor. All of the proceeds will go to the Chris Anthony Tumor Research Fund at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. "Maybe some day there will be a cure," said Wilson. "And if there is it can hopefully help my children and help my grandchildren."

Brewers squander home game against Cardinals ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — Albert Pujols hit two home runs for a majors-leading 47 and Adam Wainwright picked up his 18th win with seven scoreless innings in the St. Louis Cardinals' 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Wainwright struck out six and scattered five hits to become the first pitcher this season to 18 wins and Pujols powered the offense with his homers in the fifth and seventh innings to complete a three-game sweep of the Brewers. But St. Louis got a scare when Matt Holliday tumbled running out a grounder in the third and left with a bruised left knee, The Cardinals have won 25 of their last 31 overall, and are well on their way to a fourth NI. St. Louis is 32-11 since acquiring Holliday on July 24 from Oakland and he's hitting, 360 with 12 homers and 42 RBIs for the Cardinals.

In the fifth, Wainwright doubled and scored on a triple by Rasmus before Pujols' two-run homer made it 4-0. Pujols sprinted around the bases, hardly stopping to greet teammates at the plate, and ran into the dugout to celebrate there.

With runners on the corners and two outs, Wainwright struck out pinch hitter Casey McGehee, who broke his bat over his knee in frustration. THORSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) blocking exercise - when, at some point, Moore fell to the ground, injured. According to an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it appeared Thorson could have "pulled off the block." The article also claimed that Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema "was visibly angry with the result." 100% 100% 100% Perhaps the biggest problem, Thorson said, was Wisconsin's desire to cultivate big, bulky linemen. In contrast, Thorson thought he played better at 290 pounds. Still, the details are murky and Thorson declined to elaborate on the specifics of the situation. But he readily admitted that the incident was the snapping point in a long, conflict-filled stay at Wisconsin. "It was unfortunate but the wheels were kind of set in place long before that," Thorson said. "I didn't feel like there was the opportunity I wanted." "It wasn't what they wanted in their offense at that time," Thorson said. "It was difficult at the time, but I look back and it wasn't the situation I really wanted to be in." Shortly after the situation with Moore unfolded, Thorson left the Wisconsin program. It wasn't an easy decision. Thorson grew up in Mequon, Wisc., a city two hours east of Wisconsin's campus in Madison. Not surprisingly, he grew up rooting for the home-state Badgers. As a senior in high school, Thorson garnered interest from Ivy League schools such as Yale and Princeton. He also After verbally committing to Minnesota early in the recruiting process, Wisconsin offered Thorson a full-ride scholarship. He jumped at the chance. received a scholarship offer from Minnesota. "I grew up bleeding red and white and I loved them," Thorson said. "But my journey there, I learned a lot about myself." So, with three years of eligibility remaining, Thorson started searching for schools. That's when he stumbled upon Kansas. --offense. Brad Thorson is smart. Teammates past and present will tell you that. So, too, will coaches. It's a big reason behind Thorson's success on the football field. And it's a big reason he was allowed to play immediately when he transferred to Kansas last season. "He's an extremely smart guy," offensive lineman Sal Capra said. "He can pick up things really fast." In just two years, Thorson left Wisconsin with a business degree in Risk Management Insurance. It paid off immediately. While most transfers are forced by the NCAA to sit out a year, Thorson successfully petitioned the NCAA to allow him to play immediately last season. His strongest claim? He had already technically graduated from school. He's now working on a second degree in sports administration. He's also the starting left guard in Kansas' high-powered "It took a long while before I found something that fit," Thorson said. "But when I finally got in touch with Kansas, they had a need at offensive line so they were looking to add another guy. It worked out pretty perfectly." But before the season started, Mangino slid sophomore Jeremiah Hatch from offensive tackle to center — a move that once again placed Thorson as a backup. Throughout spring practices, and even for a portion of fall practices, that's exactly what Thorson was. Then, shortly before the start of the season, Mangino moved Thorson to left guard. He started against Northern Colorado. "It was worth doing because he has looked pretty sharp there," Mangino said. "It's a good move for us. We want to put our five best offensive linemen on the field and he was one of our five best." Thorson can reflect easier now that everything has settled. He's still playing Division I football. He's still playing at 290 pounds. And he's a starter. MLB It's taken a few years — and a few changes — but Thorson is finally comfortable with his situation. "Kansas has been so accepting and so willing to give me every opportunity that I want," Thorson said. "It's just been an awesome transfer for me." — Edited by Jonathan Hermes ASSOCIATED PRESS Gonzalez hits career high helping Padres beat Giants Wade LeBlanc (2-1) pitched a career-best seven innings to win his second straight start.

St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger is sacked by New York Jets cornerback Donald Strikland during the second quarter of an NFL preseason football game at giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Friday. 10 10 10 STRICKLAND ASSOCIATED PRESS STRICKLAND NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Rams quarterback to play after injury ST.LOUIS — Four days away from the opener, Marc Bulger took direct snaps for the first time since breaking his right pinkie. The Rams quarterback said Wednesday he's not pain-free, but it's good enough, barring a setback in the next two days, to play at Seattle. "I wouldn't say no discomfort," Bulger said. "But it was bearable. If it goes like today, I'd say I'm starting 100 percent." Coach Steve Spagnuolo also announced that offensive tackle Jason Smith, the second overall pick of the draft, would start on the right side. Linebacker James Laurinaitis, the second-round pick, also is starting. "The main thing is proving myself and just being a part of a great offensive line," Smith said. "My whole thing is 'What can I do to help us'." Bulger missed the last three preseason games after being injured in practice on Aug. 17. In recent practices, he had been working only out of the shotgun to avoid aggravating a fracture that hadn't completely healed, but said he participated in all drills. He confessed to a sense of relief after taking the first few snaps from center Jason Brown off to the side to the side. over it." Bulger said. "You stay mentally ready and physically ready, but you kind of worry that the first snap isn't going to go how you wanted, and you don't want to let your team-mates down." "I don't want to encourage some things NFL guys do, so I probably won't need anything." Bulger had the last two fingers taped during the practice. Brown minimized the drama, joking that he hadn't been aware which quarterback was on the receiving end. Marc Bulger Rams quarterback "I definitely lost some sleep although he expects to play without tape Sunday. He said he might not require a pain-killing injection, either. "I don't want to encourage some things NFL guys do, so I probably won't need anything," he said. Wide receivers were impressed with Bulger's work.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley before an NFL football game between the Houston texans and Kansas City Chiefs, in Kansas City, Mo. on Aug. 15. Haley is known for his hardline philadelphia. No doubt, there have been seasons when abundant talent created tougher competition for jobs. But once on the roster, there may not have been a year when players felt greater pressure or less security. A long snapper, for example, failed to get onto the field for a quick drill and found himself unemployed, his job suddenly back in the hands of the very guy he took it from. A Pro Bowl guard got dressed down in a hallway meeting with his new head coach. Then, because he hadn't called ahead and made an appointment, the acclaimed team leader couldn't even get in to meet his new general manager. Starting offensive linemen are dumped in the final week of training camp, a few days after the offensive coordinator is dismissed. And no one — no one — is immune from a chewing out in front of the whole squad. "There's not a player on this team who hasn't been chewed out," cornerback Brandon Carr said with a wry smile. 93 80 Rookie head coach Todd Haley believes in tough love and creative tension, too. It's a philosophy he learned while breaking into the NFL with Parcells in the mid-90s and seems to fit his intense, hard-driving nature like a comfortable pair of running shoes. Rookie general manager Scott Pioli embraces tough love and creative tension, as does his father-in-law and former boss, Bill Parcells, and his mentor and other former boss, Bill Belichick. The Chiefs, one might say, are becoming Parcellesian, taking on a personality that is decidedly Belichickesque. And adopting an approach that's produced five Super Bowl trophies may not be a bad idea for an organization that was 2-14 a year ago, hasn't won a playoff contest since the 1993 season, and has lost all but six of its last 33 games that counted. "I don't know when we're going to win, but we're going to win," Pioli told several hundred fans at the annual kickoff luncheon Tuesday. "There's not a player on this team who hasn't been chewed out." ASSOCIATED PRESS BRANDON CARR Chiefs cornerback Talent deficiencies may keep this first season of the Pioli/Haley regime from producing many victories. But "Until the time we win, it's going to be nothing but hard work. We are going to work hard. The coaches are going to work hard. Our players are going to work hard." an entirely new tone is being set; be consistent, play well and pay attention or be gone. The new regime immediately began letting everyone know things were different. Tight end Tony Gonzalez, still productive in his early 30s and perhaps the greatest offensive player the Chiefs have developed, was granted his wish and traded to Atlanta. Then Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters, their only other outstanding player, showed up to meet his new bosses and was reportedly treated with shocking disrespect. The conversation was leaked to a close friend of Waters in the media, who quoted Haley as telling him, "I could take 22 guys off the street and win two games." But Waters, after initially saying he would demand a trade, has trimmed down and gotten in shape, and played extremely well in the preseason. Like so many other players, he might have gained a new respect and taken an actual liking to his demanding new boss. Haley, for his part, has given notice he's willing not to hold a grudge. "I believe players want to be coached," he said. "They may say they don't, like a child may not want discipline. But I think they want to be coached. They want to be pushed hard to be the best they can be. They like to complain about it most of the time, but generally that's what they desire." When he fired Chan Gailey as offensive coordinator, Haley assumed that role himself. So he'll be wearing three hats as head coach, offensive coordinator and play-caller, and coach of the quarterbacks. Under center will be the team's other significant newcomer, Matt Cassel. Acquired in a trade with Pioli's former employers in New England, Cassel signed a six-year contract for a guaranteed $28 million. He was also sacked four times in fewer than 20 passing plays and hurt his knee while the Chiefs went 0-4 in the preseason. But he showed up on the practice field this week and will probably be ready to launch the Chiefs' new era at Baltimore on Sunday. Whether he'll remain upright is a worry. The offensive line, particularly on the right side, could be a big problem. In the meantime, the players seem to be adapting to the rough style of their new coach. The son of acclaimed NFL personnel man Dick Haley has what the military calls "command presence," and his men are responding. "I don't think there was a tougher training camp in the NFL than ours," said nose guard Tank Tyler, the leading tackler in the preseason. "He's just trying to get you to be the best player you can possibly be." NFL 7 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel (7) tumbles to the ground after being tackled by Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, right, during the first quarter of their NFL preseason football game in Kansas City, Mo, on Aug. 29. Cassel's resulting knee injury may keep him from playing in the Chiefs' first game this season. Knee injury could keep Chiefs' quarterback from season opener ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel practiced for the second time this week, wearing a brace on his left knee as he went through individual drills Wednesday. His status for Sunday's season opener at Baltimore? Still up in the air. Unable to participate fully in practice, Cassel is listed as questionable against the Ravens and coach Todd Haley was again evasive on whether his $63 million quarterback would be available. "He was out there, which was good. That's better than not being out there," Haley said. "He was able to get through some (drills), so that's going to be a situation we'll monitor as the week goes on. I don't know that we're going to have an answer right up until we play." Cassel was injured in Kansas City's second preseason game Aug. 29, when he was pulled down from behind by Seattle's Brandon Mebane. He returned to practice Monday, though in a limited role. Without Cassel, the Chiefs' sputtering offense would seem be at a monumental disadvantage against Baltimore's stingy defense. hairline quarterback former coach Herm Edwards had hoped, plagued by injuries last year and unable to get the offense into the end zone this preseason. Brodie Croyle would likely get the start and she hasn't been the a six-year contract that guarantees him $28 million. He was mostly average in training camp and saw limited time in the preseason, throwing for 114 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-19 passing. The Seahawks game was supposed to be where the Chiefs got a good, long look at Cassel. Instead, he went down on the third play of Cassel hasn't exactly looked like the player who led New England to 11 wins after Tom Brady got hurt last year. Now, Cassel is trying to come back from an injury and get ready for a game with limited practice time — against one of the NFILS best defenses, no less.

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan, was scheduled to meet Wed. to discuss the $414 million proposal. Lane4 Properties Group, the developer working for Wizards owner OnGoal LLC, is seeking to use existing sales tax revenue bonds, or STAR bonds, to pay for the project, meaning it would be funded without needing a new revenue stream. MLS City officials in Kansas City, Mo., had hoped to use a new stadium to anchor the revitalization of the Bannister Mall area. The City Council approved a redevelopment plan in Dec. 2007 including $273.3 million in city and sales tax incentives, to be repaid with new revenues from the retail portion of the project. Shakystadium plan for Wizards During market woes a few months later, Lane4 sought to move forward with at least the stadium and an amateur soccer complex. But the cash-strapped city was unwilling to back the bond. Rob Heineman, president of OnGoal, said this meant the team would not meet its goal to be in the new stadium by 2011. ASSOCIATED PRESS The project, which would be built near the Kansas Speedway. would include not only the stadium, but also an amateur sports complex with at least 12 athletic fields and an office complex to accommodate 4,000 workers for Cerner, a fast-growing medical software company based in North Kansas City, Mo.

While much has changed, the basics of working hard and motivating players still remain. "You better pick something up over 32 years or you don't stay in the business long." Miller said. Miller has coached at 10 different schools, inched Miller ing Oklahoma State, Michigan State and Texas at Arlington — his alma mater — and has coached multiple bowl game seasons. Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen sees Miller's experience and passion as an asset for the Jayhawks. Bowen said that Miller brings a lot to the table for the defense. Bowen points out that he's a good recruiter for the state of Kansas, being from Hutchinson, and he has a many connections with high schools in Kansas. Miller also helps contribute in game preparation and strategy development with Bowen. But Bowen said Miller's most important contribution is his ability to get his players ready for a game and get them to make plays for the defense. "He's been in the business for a long time because he's good at it," Bowen said. Miller said he has had the opportunity to work with several talented coaches and he's learned a lot from them. Coaches need to be able to adapt with the changes of the game, Miller said. With bowl seasons in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s he's proven he can keep up with the pace of college football. Another lesson he's learned from working with other teams is how to be a teacher to his players, something he considers himself good at. For Miller, he just has to be himself when he's coaching and relate to his players through experience. He may not have a distinct "coaching style" but he has learned how to be successful over the years. Sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson said Miller has helped the players with schemes and knowledge from his experience as a coach. Miller's knowledge of the game has given Kansas players confidence and they will continue to get better and better, Patterson said. Patterson said that Miller and Bowen are there for players in any type of situation, on the field and off. he was coaching at Oklahoma State. He said the style of offense, where lots of teams are now running a spread offense, is one of the biggest changes he's seen from the conference over the years. But Miller said he's seen in other parts of the country where he's coached and he knows how to handle it. "They treat us like men if we act like men," Patterson said. "It's really a family atmosphere." "You better pick something up over 32 years or you don't stay in the business long." "There's some good [schemes] here in the Big 12," Miller said. And it's been a long ride for Miller to get back to Kansas. He said a lot has changed in the Big 12 which used to be the Big 8 when BILL MILLER Linebackers coach "That's what we're here for, to get them ready to play against it." Since he's come to Kansas, Miller has set some basic goals for his players. Miller wants to see a defensive squad that gets better every week. The pass rush and the run defense are two of the things Kansas needs to improve on, Miller said. He said he's already seen the potential for a strong defensive effort from the players and he's determined to keep at it "We've got a long way up the hill to get to where we want to be," Miller said. with the players. With Miller comes his family to Lawrence. He and his wife Lisa have two sons, Cole and Jackson, who have been with him for every game. He said the long hours and multiple moves have been tough on the family, but he said he's lucky to have so much support. Miller notes that a sense of humor and toughness have helped his family through the ups and downs. More than thirty years have passed since Miller played as a safety at the University of Texas at Arlington. Some things have changed, while others remain the same Miller said. But being able to coach in his home state brings a smile to Miller's face, something you might not see from him when he's running drills at practice. "It's just good to be back here in Kansas," Miller said.

I was stranded on the side of Highway 24/40, a winding two-lane road that runs through farmland parallel to Interstate-70 between Lawrence and Kansas City. I had run out of gas. I walked up to a run-down automotive repair shop — the only building on the road for as far as I could see. The man who emerged looked nearly as old, worn-out and lonely as his shop — someone I never would have interacted with under normal circumstances. But here I was, in his He drove me to my car, filled up the tank and politely refused to accept any of the tiny amount of cash I offered him. He said he always liked to help people out. His dad died on the side of a highway like this because no one stopped to help and a car later hit him while he waited. It was a terrible way to go, and the man didn't want any other family to go through something like it. Check out Jake's story on page 19 about his encounter with kind strangers in New Zealand. Perhaps the next time you see someone stranded, you can be the one someone writes about later. With the terrible luck I've had with cars, this isn't my only story of random acts of kindness.

SNACKING It's that time of night we all dread. We had dinner a long time ago, but we have a long time until breakfast. Taco Bell even has its own name for it: Fourth Meal, the late-night hankering for more food. Is late night snacking making us pack on the pounds, or are we simply satisfying our cravings? Staci Hendrickson, registered dietician at Healthy Balance, 535 Gateway Drive, says as long as people don't go over the total calories they should be eating in a day, it doesn't really matter what time of day they eat. Hendrickson says the problem most people have with late-night snacking is they eat while watching TV or trying to stay up and study and are just adding extra calories on top of what they've already eaten throughout the day.

"If you're just doing that snacking and you're not really hungry then your body doesn't really need it, but if you're actually hungry and you maybe didn't get to eat dinner, then you need to eat." Snack attack. Eating late at night can bust your diet, but also can be healthy if done right. in fiber, such as whole-grain crackers, wholegrain cereals or popcorn, which Hendrickson says is very filling but doesn't have a lot of calories as long as it isn't loaded with butter. If it's your sweet tooth that is nagging you, Hendrickson says drinking sugar-free hot cocoa can be a good strategy for quieting the craving without the extra calories. VERDICT: GOOD FOR YOU As long as you stick to healthy snacks and only eat when you're actually hungry // AMY JOHNSON that's disgusting // NOT WEARING SOCKS lude. gross. WITH YOUR SHOES There are all kinds of excuses — it's way past laundry day and there isn't a clean sock in the drawer or on your floor; you don't like the look of socks with your shoes; you were in a rush this morning and threw on the nearest pair of shoes and ran for the door. But the bottom line is that the sock was invented for a reason. Lawrence Gaston, Lawrence podiatrist, says the problem with not wearing socks is that our feet perspire throughout the day. The moisture from the perspiration (which is normally whisked away by our trusty socks) attracts organisms like bacteria, fungus and yeast. "Essentially you're allowing those organisms to get into your shoes," Gaston says. "Yeast, fungus, bacteria, viruses and plantar warts can live and grow inside the materials in your shoe." This community of bacteria you create in your shoe also causes odor, in addition to the odor caused by the perspiration, officially making you the smelly kid in class. If you still insist on nor wearing socks, Dr. Gaston recommends letting your shoes air out and get lots of sunlight in between use. He says throwing the shoes in a dark closet or underneath Photo illustration by Armv Johnson No socks, no service. Skipping the sock step leaves your kicks vulnerable to yeast, fungus, bacteria and viruses. Not to mention fashion faux pas. a bed creates a good environment for the organisms to grow. By putting the shoes in sunlight, you can dry the shoes out and possibly kill the bacteria. On the contrary, if you've been converted to a sock user, Dr. Gaston recommends investing in socks that can wick away moisture and breathe well, instead of a thick, heavy-duty pair. // AMY JOHNSON NOW OPEN KOBE Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar 2907 W. 6th St. 785.838.3399 $1.99 Sake Bombs everyday! 99 cent Margaritas Mon-Thurs NOW OPEN KOBE Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar 2907 W. 6th St. 785.838.3399 $1.99 Sake Bombs everyday! 99 cent Margaritas Mon-Thurs September 11 & 12, 2009 Liberty Hall 646 Massachusetts St. Tickets only $8.50 each night Show Starts At 7pm Hosted By SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR BIKE genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT DAILY LUNCH EXPRESS $9.50 pizza or pasta $7.50 sandwich or salad BAR MENU Mozzarella-stuffed mozzarella Ahi tuna tartare Baked Pei mussels Grassfed beef carpaccio Gnocchi Zuchinni chips Rosemary flat bread 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM CHAMPION BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL WORLD TOUR A program of The Banff Centre www.banffcentre.com powered by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NB www.banffmountainfestivals.ca BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL WORLD TOUR A programme of The Barff Centre through its retaility www.banffmountainfestivals.ca September 11 & 12, 2009 Liberty Hall 646 Massachusetts St. Tickets only $850 each night Show Starts At 7pm Hosted By SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 804 MASSACHUSETTS 843-0000 LAWRENCE, VAKEET genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT DAILY LUNCH EXPRESS $9.50 pizza or pasta $7.50 sandwich or salad genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT DAILY LUNCH EXPRESS $9.50 pizza or pasta $7.50 sandwich or salad BAR MENU Mozzarella-stuffed mozzarella Ahi tuna tartare Baked Pei mussels Grassfed beef carpaccio Gnocchi Zuchinni chips Rosemary flat bread 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM SEND YOUR FRIENDS TO BED AT Campus Court at Naismith Rooms still available!

WATKINS MEMORIAL HEA 1200 SCHNEIDER Photo illustration by Adam Buhler Only an extreme problem will get Andrew Imel, Dallas senior, under a stethoscope. The last time he went to the doctor was a year ago when he sprained his ACL while playing club soccer — an injury that kept him off the field for three weeks. Before that it was for bronchitis. Reluctant patient: Men statistically see doctors less often than women for a multitude of possible reasons, from the appearance of "toughness" to a lack of awareness of their bodies compared with that of women. According to a 2001 survey by the United States Census Bureau, 33 percent of men went a year without once seeing a doctor compared with only 21 percent of women. But why is it that men are more reluctant to visit the doctor than women? Is it the sterile smell? The seemingly endless time in the waiting room? Sheer laziness? What is it about the doctor that has men running? Often men, more than women, need a push from family and friends to get general or mental health care, says Sarah Kirk, director of the KU Psychological Clinic. Because of social But these stereotypes are out there and they may be worse for college-aged men. "When you're young and healthy you think you can handle things on your own, but sometimes you can't," Hamilton says. Men might be more hesitant to visit the doctor because it's less acceptable in our culture for them to do so. "There are societal expectations that men should just tough things out," says Nancy Hamilton, associate professor of psychology. Not relying on a doctor makes Imel feel responsible. "I take pride in being able to take care of myself," he says. He doesn't deliberately choose not to go to the doctor because it makes him feel less manly. "It's subconscious. None of the men in my family go to the doctor, so I don't either," he says. RUB SOME DIRT ON IT expectations for men to be tough, "it's important for them to be supported," she says. MEN ARE FROM MARS Another reason that men visit the doctor less than women is simply because of the differences in our bodies. "Women require more routine maintenance," Hamilton says. Annual pap smears and birth control measures require women to visit the doctor more often. Plus, for women, doctor appointments aren't one-stop shopping. "It's more fragmented. They have to visit one doctor for a pap smear, another for a sinus infection — while men usually just see one general practitioner." Hamilton says. These different appointments increase the number of times women visit the doctor. "Even if you factor out those numbers, women still visit the doctor more than men, and for more ambiguous reasons," she says. Men are taught early on to visit the doctor only if they have an injury, though women learn to seek preventative health care through annual check-ups, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Casey Finch, Lincoln, Neb., senior, says the last time he visited the doctor was for intestinal pain after running a marathon. He doesn't go to the doctor just for colds. Women might also visit the doctor more often because they are more in-tune with their bodies. "In part, women are hardwired to detect symptoms better than men," Hamilton says. Women notice smaller changes in body temperature and can detect pain earlier than men. SICK AND TIRED Then there's just the general unpleasanness that comes with a visit to the doctor. Finch dislikes going to the doctor because "it's expensive and time consuming — plus most things tend to take care of themselves," he says. Imel hates going to the doctor because doctor's appointments mean missing class and getting behind in work. Then there's also the fact that Imel hates getting his blood drawn. His hard-to-find veins make visiting the doctor a prickly, unpleasant experience. "I'm 22 years old and I still get nervous." Hey, we're not all tough all the time — and maybe we shouldn't try to be. Jp WHAT MAKES US DECIDE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR? FOUR FACTORS THAT GET YOU INTO THE WAITING ROOM. Whether you’re a hypochondriac or would rather suffer in pain than go to the doctor, there are certain factors that make you pay the doc a visit. 1) It’s an important body part. “If what’s affected is a valued body part, like your face, you’re more likely to go to the doctor than if the problem is with your calf,” says Nancy Hamilton, associate professor of psychology. 2) It’s something you can see. Notice a weird bump on your leg? Is your ankle swelling? Chances are you’ll get it checked out. 3) If it’s scary. You will probably go see a doctor if you develop symptoms and don’t know why they’re there. “If you have a pain in your left arm and you know that it’s from getting hit by a softball yesterday, you’re less likely to go to the doctor than if you didn’t know why the pain is there,” Hamilton says. 4) If it’s sanctioned. When friends and family suggest you go to the doctor, you tend to listen. 09 6 10 09 ... HEALTH + The ABDOMINAL DILEMMA Is your ab work-out helping or hurting your body? // AMY JOHNSON CITY OF N.Y. BALLROOMS Photo illustration by Adam Buhler You could be "crunching" more than just your abs. Doing traditional crunches and focusing only on the so-called "mirror muscles" can create an imbalance of core strength and negatively affect posture. We all dream about having flat, rock-hard abs. It used to be that reaching this goal meant hitting the floor and counting off crunches. But while crunching our way to six-pack status, have we been self-inducing back pain and damaging our spines? Amber Long, assistant director of KU Recreation Services, says when people tend to focus solely on their "mirror muscles" — the ones important in appearance — they develop an imbalance in strength throughout their core. This imbalance pulls our bodies out of alignment as our front half is overpowering the back half in strength and muscle mass. Long says she sees this problem in a lot of in older clients she trains, and people need to start correcting now in order to develop balanced training. The imbalance is also exaggerated due to typical posture, which favors the front of our core and strains the back, throughout day-to-day life. "We spend the majority of our day in a slumped position," Long says. "We sit slumped. We slump when we're driving, studying, eating. We're in this flexed position all day." Sara Wilson, associate professor in mechanical engineering, says there is a lot of debate in the scientific community right now as to what is the best way to train the stability of the core muscles. The concern with abdominal crunching, she says, is the jerky, fast and poorly controlled motions performed. Some researchers have suggested that because of this, crunching may not be an effective way to strengthen abdominal muscles without hurting the spine, though nothing has been proven yet. But scientists have identified potential issues causing lower back pain, one of which is excessive force on the tissues of the spine. The purpose of abdominal and core muscle exercises is to improve stabilization of the spine as a structure, Wilson says. Though crunching strengthens a particular muscle set, Wilson says we need to be cautious that the exercises we don't excessively load or destabilize the spine in the process. These possible negative effects stem from people confusing "core strengthening" with "ab strengthening." Long says that a lot of people think about their core as just their abs when really it includes their entire trunk. The back, side, and obliques of our trunks are equally as important muscle groups to train. "If you're doing said amount of core," Long says, "you need to make sure you're working the other areas equally. Have balance in core training is key." To avoid damaging affects of poor crunches it's important to pay attention to how our bodies react to exercises. Patty Quinlan, registered nurse and supervisor of nursing at Student Health Services, says our bodies will warn us of poor exercises by giving us a sore, bruising feeling in our muscles. Quinlan says you never want to do an exercise program that leaves you stiffened up the next day because this is a warning sign you're overdoing it. The goal of exercise is to build stamina and strength gradually, slowly building to a goal. Sandra Bowman, supervisor of the physical therapy department, says another way to avoid injury to the back or spine is to always practice correct form when performing an abdominal crunch. Bowman says a common mistake people make is allowing their belly to push out while crunching. Stomach muscles need to be sucked in, tucking the belly in and up under the ribs, throughout the entire exercise. When placing your hands behind your head, Bowman says to be sure to only have them there to support the weight of your head. Often when hands are in this placement, people pull themselves forward from the neck, causing a large strain in the muscles. To avoid doing this, Long suggests staring at the ceiling throughout the entire crunch, or making a fist with your hand and placing it in between your chin and chest. If you still feel yourself pulling, try having your arms outstretched so your hands cup over the knees at the peak of the crunch. Bowman says this technique also gives you an idea of how high your crush should go. Although the crunching exercise has been questioned, it is still better than doing sit-ups to train the muscles. Long says. She says sit-ups put a large load on the spinal disks, and the hip flexors typically end up taking over. Also, most people can't do a full sit-up correctly, making them far less effective than a proper crunch. Long says strengthening our abdominal muscles is important in our exercise routines so long as we don't neglect the other muscles in our core. Practicing exercise programs such as pilates can help us balance our core workouts because they focus on stabilizing the entire core. The Amber Student Recreation Center will also be offering a complete core training class in October to educate people on strengthening all of the abdominal muscle groups. Amber Long of KU Recreation Services says that for good spine health, you should train your abs in these four ways every time you hit the gym: FLEXATION Spinal flexion training includes any sort of crunching exercises which work the rectus abdominus EXTENSION muscles in the front, giving us the six-pack stomach. A good spinal extension exercise is to lie flat on your stomach and lift up into a superman position holding that position and then relaxing and repeating. ROTATION Seated medicine ball twists work well for spinal rotation exercises. Also effective is simply rotating with the medicine ball while standing up. STABILIZATION Spinal stabilization exercises include any sort of plank exercise to work the transverse abdominus muscles. 7 09 10 09 [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] WE RACK OUR BALLS FOR YOU CHECK OUT OUR DRINK SPECIALS ON THE BACK COVER OPEN DAILY 9AM - 2AM Astro's 601 KASOLD 786.749.7699 15 9 12 11 8 10 9 2 11 4 1 Astro's 601 KASOLD 786.749.7699 ❤️ CONTACT kansas in heat (print edition) // THE WOMAN-ON-TOP POSITION Relationship researcher Mike Anderson lays out his plan to tackle the sticky world of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time. In the quest for better sex a lot of us will experiment with different sexual positions, trying to find the right one. We buy a "position of the day" book or a Kama Sutra book in which we tackle the "hidden monkey" or the "praying dragon." But in this week's article I will argue that in heterosexual relationships, the standard woman-on-top position still offers both sexes the greatest opportunity for increased pleasure. Don't get me wrong, I think that experimenting with positions is a great thing. Experimentation can add a major spark to a sexual relationship. But the standard woman-on-top position allows both sexes to effectively stimulate their erogenous zones. This position involves the woman facing the man — sometimes sitting upright on the man — as he is lying down on his back. It works for the woman because: 1) The woman can control the speed and the depth of penetration, which a lot of women like. The woman gets the feeling of being in control and many guys like when the woman takes charge. 2) The woman is still in a position where the man can stimulate her clitoris with his hand or a sex toy. This is important because only about 50 to 60 percent of women can orgasm from vaginal stimulation alone. 3) From this position the woman can still lie on top of the man and be as close as she chooses if she wants to get more intimate. It works for the man because: 1) The man isn't flexing or contracting many muscles in this position, so he can last longer. For a man, the more tense his muscles are the less likely he will be able to control when he ejaculates. Besides the relaxation of the muscles, it is much easier to breathe deeply and slowly from this position. Deeper breaths also help him relax and last longer. 2) The man gets a great full frontal view of the woman, which is very erotic. It also allows the man to stimulate her clitoris and breasts/nipples with a fair amount of ease. 3) The man is always ready to move to a sitting position where both partners are sitting. Though this might not allow some men to get the right amount of penetration they desire, it is still a position that produces great sensations. The ability to sit up and lie down quickly could be very important to exploring different sensations with ease. BENEFIT OF THE BREEDING Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn., graduate student, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on KJHK, 90 7th- and 91k.org.

KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP Though we all get anxious and eager to explore the realm of possibilities when it comes to sexual positions, it is often the simplest positions that have the potential for the greatest pleasure. According to popular magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Men's Health, the woman-on-top position is the favorite position for the majority of women and is in the top three for guys. When looking at the possibilities that this position gives us, I can understand why. // MIKE ANDERSON ENTER TO WIN $500 FOR BOOKS at commercebank.com/kucard!* And learn how your KU Card works in seamless harmony with your KU Checking account.

Contributed photo Contributed photo majors: Journalism and theater interested in: Women Garrett Kelly considers himself a lucky guy in every way. "Good things just happen to me," Kelly says. He plays a lot of sports, but doesn't practice much. Among his favorites are basketball and ping-pong. When looking for that special someone he says he wants an intelligent person and "someone who will make fun of me." Five to 10 years from now he pictures himself at an ad agency while performing improv and standup comedy on the weekends. His definitive trait is being able to make fun of himself. Sitting at his desk chair, Kelly hunches forward casually, resting his elbows on his knees. His smile is soft and genuine as heponds. Straightening back up, he imagines his perfect date. "It would have to involve ice cream," he says, breaking out into a wide grin. He goes on to describe a date with stargazing and "a lot of outside stuff." Kelly says 90 percent of his date must include laughter. I ask him to describe himself in three words. Momentarily paralyzed by this assignment, he excitedly shot out four words: wobbly, lucky and moose. "Moose, the animal," he adds with another 100-watt smile. // MIA IVERSON Half Off* T-shirts, Jeans Sweatshirts, *Buy one at regular price, get one 50% off. Mix & match.

Lawrence is known to have one of the best music scenes in the Midwest. It's hosted countless big name acts and produced several nationally successful bands. What people forget is that none of this is possible without the venues that give these bands a place to play.The Jazzhaus, The Replay Lounge, The Jackpot Music Hall and The Bottleneck have all shown to be fundamental players in our town's musical community. That's not to say the venues omitted from this article aren't important. But the interplay between these four have helped shape Lawrence's music scene for decades. Here's some more information about their history to help you get to know your local venues. // JAKE LERMAN There's one question you can expect to hear out of any first-timer at The Jazzhaus: "Why aren't they playing any jazz?" THE JAZZHAUS 926 1/2 Massachusetts St Despite its namesake, the often-overlooked genre is scarcely heard at this long-established downtown venue. In fact, the closest thing you'll get to jazz here are the silhouetted cut-outs of horn-playing musicians that are forever frozen in the venues' windowpanes. There was a time though when sounds of bebop, cool and hot jazz alike could be heard bellowing down the steep creaking stairs of The Jazzhaus. Before Rick McNealy and Michael Donovan bought it in 1982, the venue was called Paul Grey's Jazzhaus and catered specifically to jazz music. Strangely enough, up until 1978 when Paul Grey stepped in, the location housed a laundromat. But if you thought the idea of a laundromat existing up such a steep set of stairs is bizarre, just wait. Over the years employees have had repeated encounters with "The Jazzhaus Ghost," who's said to emerge when the bar is empty and only a few employees remain. She always appears in a nightgown near the back of the bar, and has been known to open and slam the bathroom doors. Night manager Brett Pitner says when he first caught a glimpse of her he was out the door within seconds. There have also been many occurrences of strange blurs appearing in bar-goers' pictures when taken near the bathrooms. The Replay Lounge came to be when two longstanding Lawrence venues went under in the Photo by Jake Lerman the Jazzhaus 1942 A MUSEUM OF THE GREATEST PICTURES IN CARTER SQUARE OPEN-Mon.

Mosiman and Tipton were both recent graduates with passions for music. At the time the national drinking age had recently been bumped up to 21 and many of the bars that attracted the younger crowds were being forced out of business. One of those bars was Cockburns, a former fraternity bar, Mosiman says. When they bought it and made it into a live music club, they changed the name to The Bottleneck after the glass slides some musicians would use on their guitars. THE BOTTLERX Photo by Jake Lerman At the time Lawrence had lost a lot of its music venues and The Bottleneck was a key player over the next five years in reviving the music scene. Over time it gained a reputation as the place to play in the Midwest and made Lawrence a critical stopping point for touring bands. From day one, the venue's had the philosophy of playing quality music of all stripes and still hosts a diverse calendar. Open up to drink it all down: The Bottleneck. 737 New Hampshire St., get its start after a bar called Cockburns failed to survive after the drinking age increased to 21. THE REPLAY | 946 Massachusetts St. mid-1980s, The Crossing and The Outhouse, which were standard spots for local bands, both went out of business, leaving a massive void in the Lawrence music scene. The Replay was in fact never meant to be a music venue at all, its roots lie in low-key dining. Originally opened as an arcade and burger joint, The Replay evolved when the opportunity to fill the gap left by the venue closings emerged. Owner Nick Carrol jumped at the opportunity and today all that's left of the old Replay are the few archaic pinball machines, dusty remnants of a bygone era. Since the changeover, The Replay has served a crucial role in the Lawrence music scene. Its smaller stage and basic sound equipment make it a perfect place for "start-upbands" to get their feet wet. As the bands continue to play and build their fanbases, they move on to some of the bigger venues in town. This makes The Replay the place to hear the newest of Lawrence's up-and-coming musicians. Nick Carroll, the same man who owns The Replay, owns the The Jackpot Music Hall. Carrol started The Jackpot after the building's JACKPOT SALOON & MUSIC HALL Photo by Jake Lerman Pibst Pibst Jackpot bonus: The owner of the Jackpot Music Hall and The Replay says the Replay serves as a stepping stone to the The Jackpot, which has a better, bigger sound system for bigger acts. Photo by Iake Lerman Re-play here: The Replay, 946 Massachusetts St., serves as a launching pad for many up-and-coming bands. THE JACKPOT 943 Massachusetts St. previous inhabitant "Coco Loco" went out of business. His hope was to revive a tradition of a Lawrence venue that plays original live music seven nights a week, but Carrol also had something bigger in mind. From the beginning he set out with the intention of helping local bands make $1,000 in a night. This isn't something that can happen at The Replay with their standard of $2 to $3 cover charges. However, with The Jackpot, Carrol invested in a more sophisticated sound system allowing for bigger acts and bigger covers. The extra money helps local bands earn enough cash to go on tour, thus helping the local music scene gain notoriety. Oddly, The Jazzhaus isn't the only venue on Mass. Street that has ghost stories to tell. Carol remembers going into the venue alone one morning and hearing a woman singing. Assuming it was coming from outside, he ignored it. But when he heard footsteps on the floor right behind him, he thought twice. He turned to see no one, but moments later he heard the upright piano at the far end of the bar being played and he ran out. These strange occurrences have done little to deter people from frequenting The Jackpot, as it's typical to see hoards of patrons spilling out of the doors onto their new street-side patio.

But will they last? // VALERIE SKUBAL Originally hitting the screen in the 1950s, three-dimensional films were revolutionary and the technology was expected to be the new standard in filmmaking. It was new, different and drawing huge audiences, but eventually the enthusiasm wore off. The technology was reused in the 1970s and 1980s sporadically for special occasions but, again, didn't take off. But now, 2009 has seen a great increase in the creation of 3-D films in an effort to revive the film industry. From re-releasing old animated classics to new animated movies to live action and adventure films, every month in the year of 2009 has seen at least one 3-D movie released. Even director James Cameron, writer and director of Titanic and Terminator, has such confidence in the staying power of the quirky medium he says he will make every movie from now on in 3-D format. Cameron's film Avatar is set for 3-D release in December. Chuck Berg, professor of film and media studies, thinks Cameron and others may have too much faith in the industry. "If history serves as a guide, the 1950s movie industry had a lot of competition from TV and was forced to come up with something spectacular to compete, much like the situation today," Berg says. Though today it's not only television competing with the film industry, it's the Internet, video games and hand held devices like cell phones and iPods — not to mention the poor economy that serve to threaten the once-mighty film industry. "Iimmediately it looks like 3-D is providing an experience that can't be duplicated in the home with the IMAX screens and surround sound." Berg says. But 3-D may not be a faultless savior for film. Berg fears the industry will begin to disregard the quality of a movie's story to capitalize on the 3-D experience, leaving plot and character development on the backburner to focus on impressive effects. Micki Hadley, Shawne junior, saw *Up* in 3-D this year to see the special effects. "There was cool stuff in it and the colors were awesome and balloons came out at you," she says. Hadley says her enjoyment of Up left her excited to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, out Sept. 18 in 3-D. "It looks so good," Hadley says. Serene Hakim, Overland Park junior, went to the theaters to see *Conline* in 3-D this year. "I thought the movie would be different. It's not one of the movies where you go on crazy adventures and I wanted to see what a regular movie was like in 3-D," Hakim says. She says she enjoyed the movie itself but felt the 3-D was unnecessary and her motion sickness got the best of her. "It was fun when things jumped out at you but I hated wearing the glasses the whole time and feeling like I was moving with the movie," she says. "I was stressed out more than anything." As long as you have the glasses and the movie formatted in 3-D, you can watch one for yourself on your own TV or computer. Blockbuster currently has different titles from this year available including Coraline, My Bloody Valentine and Journey to the Center of the Earth. There is no renting when it comes to the cardboard 3-D glasses, though. "Customers must purchase their own 3-D glasses so we can help prevent spreading germs," Blockbuster store manager Erika Schmidt says. But you can also keep the glasses for future rentals. "People are very interested in the 3-D movies. Coraline has been the most popular, following the Hannah Montana DVD a few months back," Schmidt says. With this year being filled with three-dimensional movie experiences it's hard to see exactly if and when history may take its course and store away the 3-D film for another half a century. Though no one can be sure, Berg is still skeptical whether or not other genres past action and adventure or animation could hold up on the three-dimensional screen. "Really, the staying power depends on whether or not people want to see Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks reprise their roles in Sleepless in Seattle in 3-D," Berg says.

She's also snoozed beside her friend's pool, on the campus express bus and under a table at Anschutz Library. Saha, Overland Park sophomore, is just one of many college students who squeeze in a much-needed nap whenever and wherever they can. According to a Pew Research Center Social and Demographic Trends survey 33 percent of adults aged 18 to 29 nap on a daily basis in the United States. A nap can lessen fatigue, but only if it is done correctly. A study published in the February 1 issue of SLEEP. the journal of Associated Professional Sleep Societies, found that the best nap consisted of non-REM sleep, which includes rapid eye movement and dreaming. Napping should be limited to 30 minutes. Sleeping more may lead to sleep inertia, or grogginess. With a continuous influx of class assignments, social obligations and extracurricular activities, college students don't always get a healthy amount of sleep, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing at Student Health Services. Students may choose to sleep later in the day in order to curb their fatigue, but Quinlan says they should do it for no more than 20 or 30 minutes. This short duration of rest is often called a "power nap," but you don't have to fall asleep to benefit, Quinlan says. She says that simply slowing your heart rate and emptying your thoughts can improve mood, awareness and memory. For Zachary Hoppenstedt, Manhattan senior, sleep is a serious subject matter. "When I put my head down to rest, I don't play," he says. After a long day of work and class, Hoppenstedt says that he lays his responsibilities aside and replaces them with a comfortable body pillow. "Every bit of activity for the day is gone as soon as I'm in a comatose state." Hoppenstedt said that aside from general fatigue, his naps are commonly taken during dreary and dark weather. Quinlan says that these conditions can frequently drive people inside, calling it the "blah syndrome." Quinlan also says that factors contributing to an increase in napping include a low mood, such as depression, a chronic illness that requires frequent rest and a decrease in amount of exercise. Even healthy students getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night can benefit from napping. If you're feeling drowsy, almost every building on campus can be used to recharge your CRASHING ON CAMPUS batteries. Saha says that "anywhere with a sofa is pretty socially acceptable." But don't let that limit you. Check out the cozy café atmosphere in the Kansas Union, the solitary confinement of the stacks in Watson Library or even the upper deck of an auditorium filled with 1,000 students in Budig 120. Along with great places to nap, there are certain places to avoid. Most notably, Saha says to steer clear of Wescoe Beach, full of chattering students walking rapidly across chalked advertisements. The hustle and bustle does not aid in relaxation, Saha says. "The one time I fell asleep there I woke up to a girl talking to me," she says. "Not only was I the wrong person, but she thought I was awake the whole time." SLEEP AROUND THE WORLD According to Gerrard Mackenzie, author of the Special Sleep Report, many variations of a "power nap" exist in other countries. In his article, "What's in a Name? Power Nap in Different Cultures," he mentions that siestas, the tradition of napping after a large lunch, are quite popular in Spain and Latin America. However, according to the article the siesta is dying out as countries become Americanized, adopting stricter work schedules and lunch breaks. The article also discusses the Japanese practice of "inemuri," which is a nap taken at work during the day. Inemuri is supposed to show an employee's dedication to the job by sacrificing sleep at night. The practice is usually reserved for top executives and beginning workers, striking a balance between the two ends of the hierarchy. Hoppenstedt says that when he studied abroad in Costa Rica last semester he noticed napping was quite common because of the weather. He says the climate is frequently wet with torrential rain, and that during the day his host family would be in bed with all the lights off, napping. "During storms it's common to find the entire population of Costa Rica sprawled on the horizontal surface of their choice." Hoppenstedt says that although some Americans negatively associate napping with laziness, in Costa Rica time moves slower and people think rest is important. He says that big cities in the U.S. tend to have a never-ending schedule, and that people may choose not to nap in order to avoid being stereotyped as lethargic. Saha says that although napping can be seen as lazy, she uses the time to rejuvenate. "I'm doing it for me, so I can be better at everything throughout the day." NAV COMFORT: This comfortable you're a supervisor at Studen usually best, but top of an COMPA someone Just be sure CL Whiche best should NAPPING ESSENTIALS ... COMFORT: This is key when choosing to nap. If you're not comfortable you're not going to get good rest. Patty Quinlan, supervisor at Student Health Services, says beds or reclining chairs are usually best, but finding a shady spot beneath a tree or sprawling on top of an empty desk can be a good substitute. COMPANY: There's only one thing better than napping, and that's finding someone to do it with. A cuddle buddy can increase relaxation and soothe worries. Just be sure to share the same views on the aforementioned guidelines. CLIMATE: Some people like it hot; others like it cold. Whichever varying degree of temperature allows you to sleep best should be considered when napping. Photo illustration by Alex Bonham-Carter Just leave me to my zzzz's, please: From location to temperature to length, there's an art to napping. According to a Pew Research survey, 33 percent of adults aged 18 to 29 nap on a daily basis in the United States, but are you napping well? Research shows the best naps consist of non-REM sleep. 09 16 10 09 ~ TOMORROW! ~ PERFORMING LIVE Tech Nine PERFORMING LIVE Tech Nine FEATURING: KRIZZ KALIKO Huff Calhoun BIG Scoob FRI 9/11 8 PM ALL AGES THE BEAR RHYMES WITH WOMAN TOUR CARBON LEAF & STEPHEN KELLOGG AND SIXERS W/ TOBY LIGHTMAN THE GRANADA 1020 Massachusetts - Lawrence, KS ~ TOMORROW! ~ PERFORMING LIVE Tech Nine FEATURING: KRIZZ KALIKO HUTT CALFORD BIG Scoob FRI 9/11 8 PM ALL AGES THE BEAR RHYMES WITH WOMAN TOUR CARBON, LEAF & STEPHEN KELLOGG AND SIXERS W/ TOBY LIGHTMAN TUE 9/22 6:30 PM ALL AGES RHYMES ATTERS ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS FRESH AIR TOUR BROTHER ALI EVIDENCE TOKI WRIGHT & BK-ONE SUN 9/27 7 PM ALL AGES THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT with special guests The Henry Clay People red cortez MON 9/28 7 PM ALL AGES Uptown Theater 3700 Broadway — Kansas City, MO THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW BIG PINK GREATEST HITS WORLD TOUR 2009 THEIR BIGGEST SHOW YET! featuring music from Wish You Were Here, Animals, Dark Side of the Moon & The Wall plus much more...

Blink and you just might miss her. And when you do spot her in that tiny booth, you just might wonder what it is she's doing there. No, she's not stuck in a glass case of emotion; she's there to answer your questions for KU Info. KU BROADCASTING Photo illustration by Andrea Olsen How can I help? Lauren Lacey says she looks up resources that she doesn't already know so she can teach others. Lauren Lacey, Troy, Mo., sophomore, has worked at KU info since spring. Her job is to answer questions from students and the general public about the University, but sometimes she gets strange inquiries. "I once had a guy call up saying he was a felon and ask me if he could still get a passport to leave the country," Lacey says. And as she found, it turns out you can. On the average day Lacey sits in the small KU Info booth on Jayhawk Boulevard (in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall) with a phone and a computer, answering questions by phone, text and e-mail, as well as talking to walk-ups. She says that most questions have to do with getting directions, being transferred to someone's office or finding things on the University's website. From her secluded space, Lacey can people watch as students walk by, and she says sometimes it feels like being an animal in a box. But she's always ready and willing to answer questions. Just don't try asking her out on a date, she says. // ANDREA OLSEN get some culture // 'GOOD DICK' it's not all about fast food and beer pong. The name might throw you off a little bit, but the movie Good Dick isn't quite what it seems to be. The film, about a video store clerk and the lonely girl who begins a relationship with him, played in the 2008 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim, and has since been touring the independent film circuit. Student Union Activities is hosting a screening of the film complete with a question and answer session with the film's director, Marianna Palka, and Jason Ritter, the star of the film. Andrew Fillmore, Belle Plaine sophomore, says the screening gives the audience the unique experience of watching a movie and then asking the director their questions about it. Fillmore is the films and media coordinator for SUA, and was in charge of planning the event. He says it's also a great opportunity for those who are interested in a career in film. Fillmore says he chose the movie because it covered a lot of interesting topics that are relevant for a college audience. And don't worry; he says the film isn't nearly as raunchy as the title makes it out to be. SUA will screen Good Dick at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Woodruff Auditorium, in the Kansas Union. The event is free for KU students and $3 for non- students. What do you really want?

I've been hitchhiking along the North Island of New Zealand for the past two weeks after a semester "studying" abroad in Australia. My traveling companion is a childhood friend and we've been sleeping on the side of the road in a tent for the bulk of our travels. All we have are two guitars and the packs on our backs. Clean clothes are in short supply and by this point we've hiked two mountains and spent hours sweating on the sides of highways. Needless to say it wasn't the most hygienic of times. Our last ride left us in between towns and we need a place to set up camp before sunset. We've been hitching down the coast of the Coromandel Peninsula and all the ground along the road is far too soft to pitch a tent on. The other side of the road has acres of grassy pasture — all of which is private property. The sun is sinking low and up our tent in the dark would be nearly impossible. "I bet we could sneak onto a corner of that cow paddock and be gone in the morning before anyone even knows we were here." I think to myself. I'm bone-weary and right now any bed sounds like a good bed, so we creep past the gate and find a secluded corner of the field to set up camp. Naturally, as soon as the tent's out of the bag, a blue SUV comes pulling up the drive. I guess we weren't as secluded as we thought. The car begins to drive off the road straight toward us. A man steps out of the car and asks us what we think we're doing. Some quick thinking helps this slip off my tongue: "Oh ... well ... uh ... we were about to go up to the house and ask the owner if we could camp down here ..." "This is my mother," the man says, "She owns this land." I figure I'm toast. I wonder how much bail for trespassing in New Zealand. The plot thickens and questions arise. Are these people going to try and introduce us into some weird Kiwi family cult? Am I going to be at the bottom of a well rubbing lotion on my skin by sundown? Blue SUV Man tells us to wait right there. The next ten minutes pass by like molasses. We consider running but soon realize we have nowhere else to go, and plus it's insanely hard to run quickly with a backpack on. Before we can act, the blue SUV comes reeling down the path. But against all odds the woman walks over, hugs us and says, "Oh please! You must come and When it pulls up to the shambles of our tent, a woman exits the passenger side. camp on the front lawn up by the house. And let me make you some dinner! You must want a shower. Come, I'll get you some towels!" Any lingering fears subside when she asks if we like sugar in our tea. Maybe it's because New Zealanders have an innocence that's seldom seen outside of old television shows. Or maybe it was because we were just thrilled she wasn't buttering us up for the slaughter, but we went to bed that night with a newfound respect for the goodness that can be found in people. kids looking for a place to rest our heads. A family welcomed two mangy-looking kids into their home for no reason other than simple kindness. They looked past the assumptions we all tend to make upon a first look. When they drove up to our tent, instead of seeing two delinquents ripe for the jailhouse they saw us for what we really were, just another pair of wandering I'm intrigued, but suddenly acutely aware of the fact that my friend and I are both filthy, the definition of scruffy and by law, trespassers. But now this lady wants to make us sandwiches. If this happened in the states we would be in the back of a police car by now. So against everything my mother taught me, and with the fading memories of horror movies drifting from my head, we reluctantly get into the blue SUV and drive up to the house. Just as she said, we arrive to find a lawn with a beautiful view of the sea to pitch our tent on. Within minutes she lays out towels and has dinner ready for us. Up until that night I'd always assumed it was just a product of our times, trust just wasn't something people gave out; you had to earn it. But one family's unwarranted and unwavering assurance that we weren't mass murderers was enough to turn my mind. We walked back to the road that next morning with all our Western cynicisms about humanity flushed from our bones. That, and the packed lunches the property owner had made for us.

More than 1.1 billion people in the world don't have clean water to drink. Ken Chang, Lawrence native, was inspired to help after visiting South Africa this past fall, so he created the River to Well project, which plans to fund at least one well in Ndhambi, South Africa, by raising iunds in a photo contest. Competition to aid clean water Lawrence photo contest to raise funds to build well in South Africa BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com During a trip to South Africa last fall with his pastor, Ken Chang watched villagers walk as far as two miles to drink dirty water from crocodile infested rivers. He had heard about hunger, AIDS and genocide, but he was shocked when he witnessed the water crisis crippling the continent. On his trip back to Kansas, Chang decided to help in an unusual way. Chang would use his love of photography to build a well in Africa. "I thought about the power of photography and had an epiphany," Chang said. "I decided to use a photo competition to raise money." Chang, a Lawrence native and 2008 KU graduate, said he created the River to Well photo competition last spring to raise awareness for the global water crisis. The competition began in June and will accept entries until Tuesday, Sept. 15. He said the competition is raising money through entry fees, donations and sales of the submitted photographs. The winning photographs will be displayed and sold during Lawrence's annual ArtWalk on Oct. 10 and 11 in downtown Lawrence. Chang said he hoped to raise $5,000 to cover the cost of one well. He said the money was being primarily raised through entry fees, which are $15 for one photo entry, $25 for two, and $30 for three. He said the group would also collect donations during the ArtWalk. Chang said one well would provide water for a village of 100 to 200 people for up to 20 years. Chang said he chose the village of Ndhambi in northeastern South Africa because he had witnessed the desperate need for water there. "There's a need everywhere, but we've got to start somewhere," Chang said. "I know people there, so that's where we'll start." Chang said the ultimate goal was to spread awareness of the water crisis in Africa. "Most of us don't realize that there are people all around the world who can't have a clean glass of water." Chang said. Shannon McNealy, Lenexa senior, has worked for several months on the project as the SEE PHOTO ON PAGE 3A WATER SHORTAGE FACTS 1. 1 billion people, or one in six, don't have clean water to drink.

The traveling film festival will be shown at 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $8.50 per night, and different films will be shown each night. "There are not a lot of mountains here, but a lot of people interested in mountain culture," Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., said. "We wanted to bring mountains to the plains." The Banff Mountain Film and Book Festivals are based in Banff, Alberta, and feature films, books and photos related to mountain culture. Of the 300 entries in the main festival, about 40 are selected for the traveling festival. Hughes, a 1992 KU graduate, said the films were adventure-based and showed anything from rock climbers to kayakers and base jumpers. He said there were also films that were more human-interest related, but were still loosely based on mountain culture. Hughes said the idea to bring Banff to Lawrence came when he and some friends saw the festival while traveling in Colorado.

"Instead of us simply remembering the horrible events and more importantly the heroes who lost their lives on 9/11, we are all going to turn into local heroes," said Ted Tenenbaum, a Los Angeles repair shop owner who offered free handyman services Thursday and planned to do so again Friday.

Vice President Joe Biden was scheduled to attend the ceremony in New York, while President Obama was to meet with family members for a ceremony at the Pentagon outside Washington. D.C. The president will "speak about what the day means and the sacrifices of thousands, not just at the Pentagon, but in Pennsylvania and certainly and most obviously in New York," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.

Assembly Speaker Karen Bass today stripped Duvall of his spot as vice-chair of the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee.

Republican Mike Duvall resigned Wednesday after a videotape surfaced in which he described to a colleague in lurid detail his sexual conquests, including a spanking The scandal filled the Capitol with gossip and distracted many legislative staffers from more important business at hand.

He sought to deny the affairs on Thursday. of both parties take this very seriously and address it in a fast and strong way" The fallout from the scandal began to emerge, with calls for an outside investigation in addition to the internal ethics probe to determine whether the alleged affairs might have influenced his votes. The videotape shows Duvall during a break from a July 8 committee hearing detailing his extramarital exploits to fellow Republican Assemblyman Jeff Miller of Corona. He is overheard on an open microphone bragging that he slept with an energy industry lobbyist who wore "eye-patch underwear" and that he enjoyed spanking her when they hooked up. He told Miller, a longtime friend, that he also was sleeping with another lobbyist. "Oh, she is hot!" Duvall said about the second woman. The 54-year-old married father of two issued a statement denying he had affairs and saying his only offense "was engaging in inappropriate storytelling." The lobbyist Duvall refers to in his comments reportedly works for Sempra Energy, a San Diego- based energy services company. The allegation that Duvall slept with a lobbyist who does business before his chief committee prompted calls for an outside investigation and tougher rules of conduct for lobbyists.

Edited by Megan Morriss MEDIA Harvard newspaper says ad was not to be printed BOSTON — The head of Harvard University's student newspaper is blaming an ad that questioned the Holocaust on "a miscommunication." Harvard Crimson president Maxwell Child said in a letter to readers Wednesday that his staff initially rejected the ad. But Child said the decision "fell through the cracks" in the three weeks between the ad's submission and its publication Tuesday. Associated Press Brain 1. Bring your talent 2.

Mark Foley to air talk radio show WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former Congressman Mark Foley, who resigned after sending lurid Internet messages to male teens who worked on Capitol Hill, has found a new gig as a talk radio host in Florida. "Inside the Mind of Mark Foley" will begin airing Sept. 22 on WSVU in North Palm Beach. Foley taped his first show Tuesday. The station says Foley will explore the inner workings of Washington on the show. Foley resigned his House seat in 2006 after being confronted with salacious e-mails and instant messages he sent to underage congressional pages. He lives in West Palm Beach, and also works in real estate investment. Foley represented parts of Palm Beach County for 12 years in Congress and built a national reputation as an advocate for tougher laws against child sexual predators.

I can't count the number of times I've been asked this question since I took that first step out of my oh-so-crowded-and-definitely-not-straight closet. This question is one of the more commonly asked ones when people discover someone is gay. Sometimes the person asking the question is genuinely curious about how I first knew I was a lesbian. I was 17 and participating in a Truth or Dare game and someone dared me to make out with this beautiful girl. Needless to say, that game opened my eyes to a part of me I had no idea existed. Sometimes they ask, "Have you ever slept with a guy?" and then proceed to remark that I just "haven't had good dick yet." My favorite response is, "How do you know you're straight? Have you had good dick/pussy yet?" All joking aside, in a world where more and more research is being done on sexual fluidity and labels that go beyond "gay", "straight" and "bi" (try "pansexual" or "polysexual"), people are beginning to learn that things aren't as black and white as they may have seemed. Who we like or how we like to enjoy sex isn't limited to all- QUEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN Scientist Alfred Kinsey, renowned for his studies on people and their sexual likings, created the Kinsey Scale: A person is issued a number ranging from zero (exclusively heterosexual) to six (exclusively homosexual) depending on their experiences and who they like to have sex with. This scale helped people realize that sexuality isn't just a label; that people are more than labels. We put labels on things like jars and boxes so we know if they are fragile or what ingredients are in them. Labeling ourselves, whether it is by gender, race, sexual orientation or whatever else isn't as easy to do, especially if what we are labeled isn't the social norm. I know there's a natural resistance in many of us toward labels, but part of life is learning to accept who you are. Knowing what you are labeled and owning those labels can bring you into your own. "You tell me I'm gay? Damn right I am and proud of it" Only you can let these labels hold you back. I've found that it took time, insight and experience to build the confidence to not let labels restrict me. Though it may not be for everyone to live with labels, associating with one can strengthen your faith in yourself if you don't take it too seriously. Labels are simply labels — that's all there is to them. Life is one big ball of experiences, and just because you "kissed a girl (or guy) and you liked it" — oh, Katy Perry, how I despise you for that song — doesn't mean you are gay, straight, bi, etc. You and only you are the one who knows how you feel and who you feel it for. Just because you had a good time in bed with the same or opposite sex doesn't mean you are suddenly not who you thought you were. Maybe that label you've been trying to avoid might be that confidence boost you've been needing to ease the flow of life. As Plato said, Know thyself. Just remember to use protection when you are trying to figure it out. OK? As Plato said, "Know thyself." EDITORIAL CARTOON Bornstein is a Lawrence senior in sociology and women's studies. Waiting for the President to arrive: 9 minutes Waiting for the speech to turn to the topic at hand: 2 minutes Watching catcalls during a speech to a joint session of Congress: excerciating NICHOLAS SAMBALUK HUMOR Campus buildings personified I decided it was time to re-evaluate how certain buildings are viewed on campus. (Partly because hearing the same nonchalant tone from certain bus drivers gets old.) Thus, I present to you "If the buildings were people." Budig Hall — George Foreman. That's right, that man on the cover of your George Foreman grill got there by delivering some of the hardest-hitting punches known to man. Perhaps best known today as creator of the indoor grilling industry — the "Lean, Mean, Fat Grilling Machine" — he is recognized as one of the greatest boxers of all time, compiling a 76-5 record. Budig Hall — George Foreman Just as George lived through two successful careers, Budig Hall has experienced two "careers" of its own. Built in 1927 as Hoch Auditorium, it was used as the home court of KU basketball, among other events, until Allen Fieldhouse was built in 1955. Following a lightning strike, the building was renovated to house lecture halls. The renovated hall was named after Gene Budig, the University's 14th chancellor. The man might have created one of the most successful inventions of the decade, but I won't call him creative just yet -- all five of his sons are named George. THAT GUY It is on Wescoe Beach where student groups and organizations advertise their endeavors while their target market gossips the day away in the Underground. Additionally, the randomly placed auditoria on the north side of the building are close to the Spanish and history departments. Zuckerburg has created a site that can almost be used for every function, from networking to sales to learning. Indeed, Wescoe seems to have a little bit of everything as well. TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook. Everyone's favorite parking garage-turned-lecture-hall that also has-a food-court is a cultural focal point on campus. Wescool Hall — Mark Zuckerberg creator of Facebook The Bookstores — the late Billy Mays The bookstores have every item you need, including books. Much like Billy Mays, they sell you anything and everything that comes to mind. Watson Library — Blue Mart Group. As anyone who has been to a Blue Man Group show can testify, there isn't anything like it in live entertainment. Needless to say, I haven't found more than one Gothic-style limestone library on the campus. Watson opened in 1924 and, much like the three painted men that host a variety show, has relied on its unique design to become iconic. Marvin Hall — Clint Eastwood. Marvin Hall - Chris Larkwood Though still important today, Marvin Hall strikes me as a building that was probably appreciated more in the past than it is now. Having to compete with newer, nearby buildings such as Anschutz Library and Snow Hall, Marvin often fades into the background of Jayhawk Blvd. Eastwood proved he still possesses the necessary skills to be a star with "Gran Torino," and Marvin, although an older building, now houses the School of Architecture, Design & Planning. Regardless, Marvin Hall has a nostalgic and refreshing feel compared to the other buildings on campus, similar to Eastwood. Boultinghouse is a Girard sophomore in journalism and history. HUMOR Auditing our existence When the Existential Accountants come to your door, the best thing to do is to smile and pretend like you were expecting them. They are people who love and have total faith in what they do. They frighten IRS accountants. They undoubtedly notified you in writing of your impending audit, but you must have lost their letter. This sort of thing seems to happen all the time, and it's exactly why they've come for you. The EAS aren't all that different from IRS accountants in what they do, but they are generally much more attractive and in better physical health than the IRS accountants, and they smile constantly. Are you reasonably well learned, traveled, loved? Can you provide documentation as evidence of these things? Existential audits occur when it's time for you to stop and take stock. Time to sit down and look at how you've lived your life so far and what difference your existence has made in the world. Or perhaps you have spent the last ten years of your life in a listless procession of days that you can't, and have no reason to, remember. Maybe the only people who really understand you are Simpson's characters and the cast of "The Office." If you can't account for your time, happiness and the fruits of your existence* one way or the other, this could be a sign of a haphazard, disorganized existence. The existential auditors make no distinction between incomplete files and an incomplete life. I was visited by the EAs a couple of weeks ago. They told me to think about the process in accounting terms — credits and debts, inputs and outputs. What precious resources have I consumed to sustain my existence and what have I given back to this 400 WORDS TO FREEDOM BEN UNGLESSBEE WALKER BEN UNGLESBEE My EAs seemed concerned with my record keeping and the contents of the boxes they rum-maged through. It's not that I lacked documentation of how I've spent my time, but I guess it didn't give them a very clear picture of the state of my existence. Or it did, but the state of my existence is somehow unclear. I was to collect ticket stubs from concerts, movies and plane flights. I was to take tests demonstrating that I remember and can apply the information I've learned from classes I have taken before the current semester. Photographs of myself with an arm around a disadvantaged person of some sort would be very helpful. For instance, the EAs expressed some dismay over finding two separate citations for driving without proof of insurance, issued within a month of each other, and which were in the same box as my proof of insurance. They were also alarmed over my weekly pancake intake (WPI) and my dates-to-repeated-solitary-viewings-of-Napoleon-Dynamite ratio (DTRSVN ratio). They ended up leaving with several boxes of documents that they said they would need to be analyzed at their headquarters. They didn't tell me what would happen if the results of the audit were bad, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. But I don't really have anything else to do.

We live in America, so it's Karaoke in Congress SARAH MEKECKI inevitable, right? We know their hit songs "Any Way You Want It," "Open Arms," "Faithfully" and, of course, the all-time classic "Don't Stop Believin" It doesn't matter if you're 16 or 60, when you hear Journey, your ears perk up. You can be a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent. Hell, you can even be a Libertarian. It doesn't matter. You still know Journey. You can love them, hate them or care less, but I'm willing to bet you've heard their music more than once, and you've at least taken note of it. A lot of you probably know the lyrics, even those of you who wish Journey would rot in hell. In nation where we are growing further and further ideologically apart, we need to find the little things like Journey to remind us of our shared identity. Granted, five middle-aged rockers may not be the image we want to go for, but you get the point. It's amazing what this song does to people. We forget about the clique we came with and get lost in the crowd. We can't wait for the chorus. "Don't stop believin', hold onto that feelin'/ streetlight people, woooahhhh." And then, almost in unison, we go into the air guitar solo. But the America I live in is a very different American than many people live in. I am white, upper-middle class, very privileged. I've never dealt with many of the issues that so many Americans face, and as a consequence, I may not be able to sing along when their signature song starts playing. But is this such a bad thing? Not to me. I'm always up for a new song In reality, today's America probably needs about 50 karaoke hits for the nation to sing in the bar on a Friday night. We have become a nation of diversity, a nation that embraces the differences in people and accepts them because of, not in spite of, what makes them unique. So here's what I propose: President Obama is having a tough time getting politicians to agree on just about anything in Washington these days, but that's because he's going about it in entirely the wrong way. What he needs to do is host a karaoke party for Congress. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to *opinionokansan.com* Write *LETTER TO THE EDITOR* in the e-mail subject line.

The crowd of 75 sat in silence for the two-hour duration of the film "Fabbed Enemies." The film was an explanation of the filmmaker's suspicions about the United States government's involvement in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It cited eyewitness reports, expert testimonies, a series of articles and documents Almost exactly three years ago, the same room was filled with a much larger, younger and louder crowd. That film, "Loose Change," drew hisses and boos at any mention or picture of then president George W. Bush. Taking a more active stance, this film accused the administration of organizing the attack, demolishing the twin towers and striking the pentagon with a missile. to propose and support a theory that the government had advance knowledge of the attacks and that the governments of Israel and Pakistan played a role in the attack. Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history and director of programming at the Dole Institute of Politics, teaches a class called "Conspiracy Theories and Paranoia in American History." He said he thought this loss of interest in the "truther" movement is explainable by the drastic change in our country's political landscape in the past year. "On both fringes there are these people who are extremely paranoid and view our politics as illegitimate, whether or not you believe that Barack Obama is really Kenyan, or that Bush and Cheney cooked up these attacks by airplanes on these buildings to sell the Iraq war," Earle said. A number of Republicans have spent this past summer accusing President Obama of evading the issue of his nationality, including Representatives John Campbell from California and Bill Posey from Florida. Van Jones, a member of President Obama's White House Council on Environmental Quality, just retired a week ago over questions about his political past, including signing a petition claiming the Bush administration may have allowed the Sept. 11 attacks to happen. Tim Hjersted, Lawrence junior and founder of FilmsForAction.org, presenter of both "Fabled Enemies" and "Loose Change," said he recognized the controversy caused by the films he has shown and the messages they intend to spread — and he is frustrated by it. "The words 'conspiracy theory' have been used consistently as a propaganda tacit. Hjersted said. "Any dissenting opinion or idea you don't like you can just call a crazy conspiracy theory. I get it a lot." This reputation has led some believers of conspiracy theories to be wary of talking about their beliefs. A large part of the audience at "Fabled Enemies" wouldn't talk on record about the film, except to say, "That was a pretty scary movie in there." Lawrence resident Brent Karlin was willing to risk it. "It was good," Karlin said. "I mean, it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but it was good." — Edited by Jonathan Hermes RESEARCH Independent research projects gain popularity among students BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com More undergraduate students in the U.S. have been looking beyond the traditional classroom for their learning. University of Kansas undergraduates seem to be at the forefront. They idea of creating and carrying out an independent research project, particularly one with service elements, has become increasingly common among undergraduates at the University, said Mark Daly, coordinator for the KU Journal of Undergraduate Research.

Schaffrath spent a month in and around Rama. Cay, the largest Rama village in Nicaragua, near its southern Costa Rica border. Schaafrath accompanied and assisted a KU anthropology doctoral student to research the area, but he also completed an independent research project that he designed, focusing on the "We've been able to get some more funding, so we have been awarding quite a bit more," Daly said. "We're hoping to continue increasing the number of awards as well as the amount of the awards in the near future."

Schaffrath said his experience of interviewing more than 200 Rama individuals was one of his most challenging experiences, but also one of his most rewarding. Although he spoke fluent Spanish, he said he had to use an interpreter because the Rama people spoke Rama Creole. A student of anthropology and business management, Schaffrath said he now hoped he could start a student group at the University to support the Rama people he met over the summer. He said he also hoped to use his business skills to later return to Nicaragua some day and help citizens with their development. "The idea is to come and do something to help out," Schafrath said.

The layhawks are also ranked No.13 in the Soccer America poll, their highest ranking in almost five years. They are undefeated for just the third time in team history. In the first game Friday they take on the University of Denver, whose 2008 NCAA Tournament dreams ended in a 2-1 loss to Kansas. Denver is looking for both revenge and to topple a highly-ranked team.

BATTLE FOR THE BALL Edited by Lauren Cunningham Senior midfielder Monica Dolinsky plays a ball through to a teammate. Dolinsky scored one goal and assisted another in 19-3 win over Long Beach state last Friday afternoon. COMMENTARY New Web site brings order to intramurals BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com Kansas intramurals experienced a significant system overhaul this year, and I like it. Typically when humans and technology interact for a purpose, things can go wrong pretty quickly. Case in point: last year intramurals used a software for online registration that left much to be desired. This software — which cost money — was not satisfactorily user-friendly. Oftentimes, the intramurals administrators were unable to modify team schedules or upload the identification numbers of students. I bet that the intramurals management team is happy with the outcome. So far this fall, 1,691 students comprise 415 teams in 13 leagues. Students interested in playing an intramural sport should visit the recreation Web Site at www. recreation.ku.edu/programs/intramurals. Towards the end of the 2009 school year, Matt Beck, intramurals coordinator, decided to search for an alternative that wouldn't be a nightmare. Thankfully, he tested and chose the Web site Athleague for this year's intramurals. Athleague is superior to the previous software because it's free and this allows funds to be saved and reallocated elsewhere within intramurals' budget. All of this, of course, is a reflection upon the capable students and administrators who run the program. Alongside Beck, there are three student program managers, all of whom are responsible for jobs like scheduling and training officials and adding people to team rosters. In the preseason, the managers go over sports rules and intramural policies. The best upgraded feature for students wanting to play is the improved online usability. From personal experience, last year's software would often lead to dead links or not show me the information for which I was looking. The new site has clearly-marked tabs which direct the student where they need to go. And, conveniently, a student now only needs to register in the system one time.From there the student can join as many leagues as they wish without the hassle of searching for the 12 digit student identification number which few probably bother to memorize. The site boasts the great features of allowing for the creation of profiles and the ability to send messages and notifications similar to Facebook. Beck said one feature he finds particularly cool is the ability to sign up as a free agent and then wait for a team in need to message that person if more members are needed in a pinch.

Worms, liver, stinkbait and spoons over baited areas have been effective. — Stephen Montemayor MORNING BREW Women's tennis has promising future A And so ends the best feel good story of the U.S. Open. American tennis player Melanie Oudin stole the hearts of many fans the past couple weeks. She lost in the quarterfinals 6-2, 6-2 to Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, the No.9 seed on Wednesday. Some could say Oudin beat expectations by getting so far, but it didn't make seeing her lose any easier. The 17-year-old separated herself from the other female players on the tour this year by collecting a huge fan base after being virtually unknown. Her last three victories came after she was down one set. There are few players that have that capability. You'd be hard pressed to find them outside of Venus and Serena Williams. The high-ranked women have been inconsistent and could not connect with fans because they lacked charisma. No. 1 player Dinara Safina is a prime example. She hasn't won a singles Grand Slam in her life and has only been to three finals. She has the skill set to win but her mentality is BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com lacking. She broke down in tears and asked her coach why she was being a "chicken" and playing so poorly earlier this year during the French Open finals. She lost the match. To be fain, most of the top ranked women the past couple years haven't handled the pressure. Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic were both ranked number one at some point in 2008 and only have one Grand Slam win and a total of 30 weeks in the top spot between them. If this is what becomes of the best players, I thought, tennis is in trouble. And when the Williams sisters retire, would I even want to watch women's tennis anymore? Then America discovered young Oudin. She is the gleam of hope not just Americans, but all tennis fans, have been waiting for. She came into the U.S Open firing, beating the fourth-seeded Elena Dementieva and then Maria Sharapova, both after losing the first set. Most players would pack it in but Oudin had a fire reminiscent of Lleyton Hewitt, shouting "Come on!" to pump herself up as well as the crowd. It was a marvel to watch. It's refreshing to see a player with this kind of spunk and heart at such a young age. Oudin had the best quote I heard from the tournament regarding her unwillingness to back down from opponents: "Mentally I'm staying in there with them the whole time and I'm not giving up at all," she said. "So if they're going to beat me, they're going to beat me, because I'm not going to go anywhere." It was tough to watch her lose. It was the first time she showed any negative emotion the whole tournament (the emotion could have also had to do with her parents' divorce story looming). But her opponent Wozniacki showed THE MORNING BREW some of the same toughness qualities our Oudin did, so it's hard to root against her. Plus, she is only 19, so this young generation is looking more and more promising. Oudin's legacy can only get better from here as can women's tennis. I have a reason to watch even when Venus and Serena are gone. We all do. t - Edited by Abbey Strusz Follow Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/ c_thibodeaux. Sunday's starting quarterback spot up in the air CHIEFS BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel acts like he's ready to play. He hasn't missed a practice this week. He knows the game plan. He's said the right things, that he feels good enough to go. Now, it's up to the coaches. So does that mean Cassel will play Sunday against Baltimore? Too early to tell. "As long as I'm able to walk and get out there, I will be ready to go." Cassel said Thursday. "It's up to them to pull me back." Cassel sprained his left knee in Kansas City's third preseason game Aug. 29. He returned to practice Monday and was on the field the past two days.

Last-place Royals sweep leading Tigers ROYALS BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Gordon and Alberto Callaspo homered, leading the last-place Kansas City Royals past the Detroit Tigers 7-4 on Thursday for a surprising three-game sweep of the AL Central leaders. It was the first three-game sweep of an American League team at home this season for the Royals. They've won four straight overall for the first time since June 12-16. Zach Miner (6-5) gave up three runs and five hits in relief for the Tigers, who rolled into town Tuesday on a six-game winning streak, fresh off a three-game sweep at Tampa Bay. Not only had the Royals dropped four in a row, they were missing injured pitchers Gil Meche and Brian Bannister and had lost 24 of their last 33 to Detroit at home. But beginning with Bruce Chen on Tuesday night, the Royals proceeded to win with three straight spot starters. Roman Colon (2-3) got the win with 11 1-3 innings of scoreless relief. Carlos Rosa pitched the ninth for his first major league save. Yuniesky Betancourt drove in two runs for Kansas City, last in a division the Tigers lead by $ 5 \frac{1}{2} $ games over Minnesota.

NY Yankees player breaks his slump and delivers big hits Jeter ties batting record with former New York player Lou Gherig BY MIKE FITZPATRICK Associated Press NEW YORK — Derek Jeter peeked down at third base and saw a huge patch of green grass. So, he took advantage of it. Jeter began the night with a surprising bunt single — and didn't stop hitting until he tied Lou Gehrig. With three hits on Wednesday, Jeter matched the New York Yankees record of 2,721, a mark Gehrig held by himself for more than 70 years. "It's just kind of mind-boggling to have my name next to his," jersey said on the field during a postgame television interview pumped over the Yankee Stadium public address system. New York rallied past the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 on a three-run homer by pinch-hitter Jorge Posada in the eighth inning. The comeback victory made it easier for Jeter to enjoy his accomplishment — he tied Gehrig with a seventh-inning single off rookie starter Jeff Niemann. "I'm happy that I was able to do it here at home," Jeter said. "We had so many special moments across the street. Hopefully this is the first of many memorable moments here at the new stadium." Moments after Posada's homer, Jeter received a booming ovation as he stepped to the plate in the eighth with a chance to break the record. He walked against reliever Grant Balfour, bringing a loud chorus of boos from the crowd. The Yankees are off Thursday. "I wish we were playing tomorrow," he said. Jeter gets his next chance to set the mark Friday night at home against Baltimore. Shut down by Niemann most of the night, the "He carries himself in a manner that's worthy of passing Gherig." "I'm very happy for him," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "He carries himself in a manner that's worthy of passing Gehrig." JOE MADDON Tampa Bay manager Yankees finished a four-game sweep and sent the AL champion Rays to their eighth consecutive loss. It's their longest skid since dropping eight straight in July 2007. Jeter's parents, watching from an upstairs box between home plate and first base, raised their arms and exclaimed in excitement. The ball was saved for Jeter as a souvenir. "I felt proud. I got goose bumps," said Posada, one of Jeter's best buddies. "It was a perfect moment." Jeter took off his helmet and twice waved it to the crowd of 45,848 during an ovation that lasted about 2 minutes. Rays players and coaches clapped as Jeter stood at first base. Jeter entered the game in an 4-for- 12 slide, his longest hitless stretch this season, but ended the skid right away. He noticed that third baseman Evan Longoria was playing deep, so later dropped down a beautiful bunt single leading off the bottom of the first. He beat the play without a throw, prompting the first of several standing ovations. "He was smart. He took what they gave him tonight. That's the type of player he has been his whole career," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "When you put his name next to Lou Gehrig, it's amazing. It was emotional for me because I wanted it so bad for him tonight." On his first chance to tie Gehrig, Jeter came through in fitting fashion — with an opposite-field hit on the first pitch. "You don't want to say it was a relief, but afterwards I was pretty excited that I was able to do it tonight." Jeter said. "I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't thinking about it because pretty much everywhere I've gone this entire homestand I've been hearing on the street, in cabs, at the stadium, 'When you gonna get a hit, when you gonna get a hit? I kept telling them, 'I'm trying'" "He starts the game off, dropping the bunt down just to get a hit. I mean, nobody else thinks about that except Derek. He shocked the world up there doing that," long-time teammate Andy Pettitte said. "I'm just excited to see him break it and get it over with and now he can head on toward 3,000." In the middle of the eighth, the large video board in center field showed a replay and flashed "Congratulations Derek!" Gehrig's final hit came on April 29, 1939, a single against the Washington Senators. The Iron Horse had held the club record for hits since Sept. 6, 1937, when he passed Babe Ruth. "I know a lot about the history," Jeter said. "What he stood for, being a captain, he's probably one of the classiest people to ever play the game." Gehrig's Hall of Fame career ended suddenly in 1939 because of illness. Two years later, he died at 37 from the disease that would later bear his name. FOOTBALL Team hits the road to test secondary against offense BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Right now, the lajayhaws are saying all the right things. They're talking about the difficulties of playing away from home, the importance of snagging a road win and, most importantly, they're talking about the talented, passhappy UTEP team that waits in El Paso this Saturday. So what if UTEP lost 23-17 at home to Buffalo last week? The Jayhawks insist the Miners pose a tougher-than-expected challenge early in the season. "They're going to be a lot better than they played against Buffalo," junior linebacker Justin Springer said. "I can promise you that. They're confident. They're real confident they can beat us." "We will find out a lot about ourselves," coach Mark Mangino said. Perhaps the greatest test will come from UTEP's spread offense.

Edited by Megan Morriss COLLEGE FOOTBALL Athletes compete with swine flu College football players have been ordered to keep clean to avoid BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press NEW YORK — Helmets and shoulder pads — and hand sanitizer. College football players are protecting themselves from more than bruising hits and tackles this season. Swine flu can flatten them, too. With outbreaks reported at the universities of Mississippi and Wisconsin, players are under orders to wash their hands and cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, lest their teams join those who have been hit hard by the bug. "After the first couple of cases, when people got sick on campus, me and my roommates, we went and got a big bottle of disinfectant," said Ole Miss running back Brandon Bolden, who lives with two teammates. "And as soon as we walk into our house, we have hand sanitizer." Coaches are fretting the possibility of having to play games short-handed. "It scares us to death." Texas coach Mack Brown said. Swine flu hasn't been a problem for the Longhorns so far, but the list of teams affected has been growing steadily. Washington State had 16 players get sick before its home opener Saturday — a loss to Stanford — amid a larger flu outbreak at the school. The university placed hand sanitizers at At Duke, in Durham, N.C., one player had a confirmed case of swine flu in early August, about a month before the season started last weekend. School officials said two or three dozen players experienced flu symptoms and it took about 10 days to get healthy.

People inhale the virus or pick it up by touching an infected person or object and then putting their hands to their own nose or mouth. BRANDON BOLDEN Ole Miss running back concession stands for the game, which drew just 22,386 fans about 5,500 fewer than last year's opener. In Oxford, Miss., the number of Rebels to miss practice with flu symptoms was up to 27 by Tuesday night, coach Houston Nutt said. Mississippi and Wisconsin have been dealing with seriously depleted rosters at practice this week as player after player has come down with the fever, coughing, body aches and sore throats that are symptoms of the H1N1 virus. Swine flu spreads the same way seasonal flu does, from an infected person sneezing or coughing near That includes star quarterback Jevan Snead and top running back Dexter McCluster. The number of cases among the entire student body was approaching 400. In Madison, Wis. at least 10 players were players are dealing with flu symptoms, and university officials say about 200 students sought medical attention the first week of school. Coaches have been tightlipped about which players have been affected and if any will miss Saturday's home game against Fresno State. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., Stillman College, which plays Division II football, had to cancel its opener last week against Clark Atlanta because 37 players had flu-like symptoms.

Andra Davis looks on during drills at the team's final day of NFL football training camp at Broncs' headquarters on Aug. 20, in Englewood, Colo. Football players use Twitter for trash talk BY ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Champ Bailey chuckled at Chad Ocho Cinco's proclamation that he was eager to embarrass the Denver Broncos and their star cornerback in Cincinnati this weekend. The Bengals superstar receiver's tweet Thursday telling Bailey "storms coming!!!!!!!" drew a roll of the eyes from the Broncos' perennial Pro Bowler, who doesn't check his Twitter account all day like Ocho Cinco does. Bailey said. "The funny thing is he has respect for me and I have respect for him and he knows what he's capable of and I know what I'm capable of. So, it's not like he's talking to belittle you. He's a guy that he's an entertainer and he knows it and he uses that ability to talk to the fullest. "And he gets to some people, but he knows he can't get to me." "I used that thing one time, or my brother did, just to promote our football camp and you know (Ocho Cinco) uses it daily so that's his way of trash talking," Bailey said. "I'm all for it, whatever he wants to do." "He's a guy that he's an entertainer and he knows it and he uses that ability to talk to the fullest." CHAMP BAILEY Broncos quarterback Bailey said he enjoys Ocho Cinco's trash-talking and looks forward to getting his best shot. Ocho Cinco has embarrassed Bailey before, though. Although he was held to three catches for 32 yards the last time these teams faced each other, in 2006, Cincinnati's superstar got the better of Bailey in a game in 2004 — when he was still known as Chad Johnson and caught seven passes for 149 yards and a score. "Yeah, I love the way he talks." "The funny thing is it wasn't a bad game, it was a couple bad plays." Bailey said. "It was like maybe two or three plays that I wish I could take out and then I had a pretty good game, because I know I had a pick in that game, and I never lost my confidence over that." Jayhawks ready for rival competition CROSS COUNTRY BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com The Kansas cross country teams will travel across the border on Saturday to participate in the Missouri Cross Country Challenge. This is the teams' second meet, and they will be racing against one of their biggest rivals. "If there was one team out of the whole conference that we wanted to beat, it would be Missouri," Olathe sophomore Rebeka Stowe said. The Jayhawks have something to prove this year. "We lost to them last year, both at the duel and at conference," said Shawnee senior Bret Ingrund. "So we are hoping to get back on track." Last year Hutchinson senior Lauren Bonds won the women's race, but the men and women lost to Missouri by 11 points. This is only the Challenge's second year, so a win in Missouri would even the score in the Border War. Kansas will try to draw from the two previous years, when they beat Missouri in conference. This meet will be more than a rival matchup. Missouri is hosting the Big 12 Championship this year. "That's our main reason for going back — to get a look at the course, to get a feel for it so that it won't be brand new to us again come conference," Imgrund said. After not running in last weekend's meet, Bonds and Overland Park junior Amanda Miller will be returning for the Missouri meet, which will give the women something to focus on. "The tighter pack we can get the better we can do." Stowe said. "We are going to try to get as many girls as close to Bonds as we can." This technique along with the competitive nature of the team will fuel the fire between the rival schools. Apparently, heckling isn't just common for football and basketball. Stowe said that Missouri fans yelled at the men's team at last year's meet. "It's kind of fun." Stowe said. "It kind of gets a little edge under your skin."

Adam Buhler/KANSAN GOLF 'Logical choice'left off S.Africa team BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press LEMONT, III. — Two days after his Presidents Cup snub, Rory Sabbatini made captain Greg Norman's decision to leave him off the International team look even more peculiar. Sabbatini ran off seven birdies on renovated Cog Hill for a 5-under 66 on Thursday, giving him a share of the lead with Steve Marino at the BMW International and hopes of making it to the FedEx Cup final. They had a one-shot lead over Bo Van Pelt and Marc Leishman, who only qualified for the third playoff event by making an eagle on his final hole Monday at the TPC Boston. Tiger Woods., a four-time winner at Cog Hill, was among those at 68. Sabbatini won the Byron Nelson Championship in May and appeared to be in good shape to make the Presidents Cup team until Y.E. Yang stunned the golf world with his comeback win over Woods at the PGA Championship to bump Sabbatini out of the top 10. Norman then used his two captain's picks on 17-year-old Ryo shikawa of Japan, who has won four times in the last calendar year; and Adam Scott, who is in the worst slump of his career and has fallen out of the top 50 in the world ranking. Right after his low round, Sabbati took the high road. "If I'd been playing well over the past couple weeks and didn't get picked, I might have something to complain about," said Sabbatain, who has missed four cuts in his last eight starts and has not finished in the top 30 since winning in Dallas. "But you know what? The situation is such ... I'm here this week. I'm going to focus on this." year — the Sony Open in January and the Scottish Open in July — without another finish in the top 20. Norman said Scott, a fellow Australian, was "the logical choice." Scott had two top 10s this What disturbed Sabbatini was not hearing from Norman or anyone else during the three weeks after the PGA Championship when the captain makes his two selections. "There was not a single conversation or a single phone call, period," Sabbatini said. "You could say I was a little disappointed."

LOUIS—The St. Louis Rams released linebacker Chris Draft on Thursday after the 11-year veteran declined to take a pay cut in the final year of a three-year contract. The 33-year-old Draft made 16 starts in two seasons with St. Louis and had been listed first on the depth chart heading into Sunday's game in Seattle. Last year, Draft made nine starts and had 41 tackles. "In our business we've learned to kind of adjust on the fly, and that's what it's going to take." Linebacker Quinton Culberson, who had been among the final cuts last week, was re-signed to fill the roster spot in upheaval three days away from the opener. STEVEN JACKSON Rams running back didn't learn of the move until just before practice. David Vobora, a seventh-round pick who inherits Draft's starting spot, noticed the position meeting room was shy one player, and didn't get a chance to thank the veteran for his help. "In our business we've learned to kind of adjust on the fly, and that's what it's going to take," Jackson said. "We're going to need those young guys stepping up and becoming leaders. It may be a little faster than you'd want ideally" Coach Steve Spagnuolo had little to say about the move, which saved the Rams $380,000. He declined to judge Draft's performance and emphasized it was a team decision. "None of these moves are easy," Spagnuolo said. "It's a tough business in a lot of ways. We've got a lot of respect and appreciation for Chris Draft and what he did both on and off the field." Vobora, the last overall pick of last year's draft, got a lot of work with the first string both in preseason games and practice. That included this week, and Spagnuolo said "there was a chance" he would have started the opener in any case. "Hopefully," the coach said, "we won't skip a beat." Draft was the third-oldest player with the Rams, who have been transformed from one of the oldest teams in the NFL to the third-youngest since the end of last season. He previously played for the Bears, 49ers, Falcons and Panthers with 88 career starts in 142 games. 52 ST. LOUIS St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, right, talks with linebacker Chris Draft during NFL football training camp at the Rams' training facility in St. Louis. In a move announced Thursday, the Rams have released Draft, an 11-year veteran who started 16 games in his two seasons in St. Louis. ASSOCIATED PRESS ANNIVERSARY Friday night football changes to remember lives lost BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI Associated Press BLAINE, Minn. — Those famed Friday night lights will be shining for more than just high school football players this week. For the first time, the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks falls on a Friday — a night owned by prep football around the country. Some schools are going all out to remember those who died in the attacks and served in the two wars that have followed. Veterans, for instance, will get free admission to see the Blaine Bengals play Minnesota prep rival Centennial. Before kickoff, color guards from all four branches of the military will march onto the field. where a gigantic American flag will be introduced to the 50-yard line. The school band, accompanied by fireworks, will play each branch's song with a silent tribute to those who have died in combat coming next. people remember and honor the people that are there, we'll do it." "The amount of support we receive now makes our job over there so much easier." A moment later, four T-6 Thunder airplanes will perform a flyover, followed by a handshake by the two teams.

"If we can help In Ohio, New Albany High School will hold a moment of silence before its game against DeSales. Groveport Madison, just outside of Columbus, is painting a red, white and blue ribbon on both sides of the field.

Defensive assistant coach Steve Guider organized the ceremonies in Blaine, outside Minneapolis. "Ive always been pretty patriotic," he said. He said he has wanted to have a military appreciation night for one game and the anniversary "just added some motivation to make things bigger and better and get it done this year." For him and the Bengals, the chance to capitalize on the drawing power of high school football to honor veterans and military families could not be passed up. Families like the Juneaus. Sue Juneau's son, Tom, played football at Blaine earlier this decade and was recently honorably discharged from the Army after deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Her cousin, Bill Juneau, was a civilian security contractor who was killed when a roadside bomb struck the Humvee he was driving in Iraq in 2007.

That won't be the case on Friday night, when thousands will pack the football stadium in Blaine, waving miniature American flags while they cheer for their heroes — and the Bengal football team. "I think it's great," Tom Juneau said over dinner at his parents' home. "The amount of support we receive now makes our job over there so much easier.

FOOTBALL Sibling rivalry: two brothers, two schools, one football field BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com If he had the choice — if junior linebacker Justin Springer could have made it work — he'd be playing alongside his twin brother, Jeremy, this Saturday, not against him. During their recruiting process in 2006, the brothers searched for schools interested in Justin, the linebacker, and Jeremy, the quarterback Springer P No school, however, offered scholarships to both. So Justin headed north to Kansas while Jeremy headed northwest to El Paso. The two will meet on the field Saturday for the first time since leaving Los Fresnos, Texas, after high school. E Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/JaysonJenks. "We tried to go to the same school, but it just wasn't going to happen," Justin said. "If UTEP would have offered me, I would have gone there." On Monday, Justin picked up the phone and called Jeremy. They talked about UTEP's 23-17 loss to Buffalo and Kansas' 49-3 victory against Northern Colorado. They talked about their individual performances and Saturday's game when Kansas plays at UTEP. And it's something they do every day. Sure, the phone calls are friendly and supportive. But the 30-minute phone conversation tells only part of the story. The Springers also possess a trait that links most athletically-inclined brothers; a will to outdo the other. "We competed in everything we did, even how much food wed eat," Justin said. "That's how competitive we are." Justin graduated from high school ranked seventh in Los Fresnos' graduating class. Jeremy was ranked eighth In college, though, Jeremy currently has posted the higher GPA. And it spills over into all fields. "It's because he goes to a school that's not as hard as this one," Justin said. "That's what I say." Athletically, Justin is physically bigger and playing in the Big 12, but Jeremy is a starter for UTEP. Growing up, the two competed in a wide-range of sports: track, football, basketball. It didn't matter. After signing with UTEP as a quarterback, Jeremy switched to the defensive side of the ball before this season. He made nine tackles in his first game at linebacker. "He was always a better baseball player than me," Justin said. "That's the only sport he was better than me at." And Mangino said there are noticeable similarities between the two brothers. "You can tell he's just like Justin," Mangino said of Jeremy. "He plays hard, he makes plays and he's a good football player." ing adjustments of a different nature. Justin, meanwhile, is experienc- After tearing his ACL last season against Kansas State, Justin spent most of the offseason simply rehabbing. He says he's still recovering and that lonely world," coach Mark Mangino said. "You're not practicing with your teammates. You want to be out there but you're not. As much as the coaches and players want to make you feel a part of it, it's lonely." "We competed in everything we did, even how much foot we'd eat. That's how competitive we are." he's "85 to 90" percent healthy right now. JUSTIN SPRINGER KU junior linebacker Still, throughout the summer. Springer attempted to work his way into drills Most of Justin's time in the spring and summer was spent working with strength and conditioning coach Chris Dawson, away from his teammates. "Having a major injury, it's a into drills. Senior safety Darrell Stuckey said there were multiple times when Springer tried to jump in seven-on-seven scrimmages even if he wasn't supposed to participate. "Id tell him, 'Hey man, you haven't been cleared yet. Get outta here," Stuckey said, laughing. "I told him, 'Wed rather have you on game days than in the offseason." Against Northern Colorado last Saturday, Justin played sparingly as a reserve. Part of the reason is simply to ease him back into game condition. But defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said that Justin's playing time will be drastically affected by opponents' offensive schemes. "If they put some bigger people on the field, we have to match them and put him on the field," Bowen said. "If they play four or five wide receivers, his reps will be limited." That doesn't cast a shadow on Justin's excitement for Kansas' game against a spread-heavy UTEP team. Though Los Fresnos is a 12-hour drive from El Paso, the Springer cheering section will feature friends, family and even former teachers. And, of course, the brothers' parents will wear shirts neutrally imprinted with the names of both schools. "It's going to be a crazy atmosphere there in the Sun Bowl," Justin said. "It's going to be fun but it's very, very important for our team to get a win."

Bradford, the team's leader and 2008 Heisman trophy-winner, was primed for another great season and Oklahoma was set to make a serious national title run. The team was never the same and lost 14-13 to the No.20 Cougars. The Sooners were well prepared for the BYU game, but no team is prepared to lose its starting quarterback in the second quarter of its season. After a disappointing loss to the Florida Gators in last year's National Championship, Oklahoma had the experience, hunger and talent to win it all this season. Now, the Sooners will need some help and a lot of luck to make it to the BCS title game. College football is unpredictable. No team can control when or where injuries will occur. But this is why it is even more important to take care of all the things that can be controlled. Teams can control how hard they work to get better. Players can take care of business in the classroom and stay out of legal trouble. Coaches can do their best to prepare for upcoming games and motivate their teams. Above all, teams should work as hard as they can to achieve their goals. No team knows when it might suffer major injuries, but everyone has the opportunity to prepare for those situations. Backup players should work just as hard as the starters to give their team the best chance to win. Not everyone can finish a game on a broken leg like Tim Tebow did back in high school. Injuries can happen to even the best players when they least expect it and there is really nothing else to do but to be ready for when it happens. When I played high school tennis, I refused to be outworked, outhustled or outsmarted on the tennis court. I thought that these were all things that I could control. Especially as a senior, I didn't want to lose any matches because my opponent was better prepared. If I lost a match, I wanted it to be because my opponent played better than I did. As former professional tennis player Brad Gilbert says in his book "Winning Uly," one of the first lessons I learned when I turned pro in 1982 was how much of an edge could be gained before the match even started." This holds true for many other sports, as the mental aspect of the game is often just as important as any physical training an athlete can do. Preparation is often underestimated by many college football programs. It takes discipline to watch hours of film, pay attention to coaches at all times and fulfill all the responsibilities that come with being a student athlete. Practice is not the most fun part of being a college football player, but more effort in practice usually translates to more success on the field. The Jayhawks can control a lot of things this season. They have to play Oklahoma and travel to Texas to face the Longhorns, but Kansas has the chance to surprise some teams this season. Hopefully injuries will not be a factor for the Jayhawks this season, but the team should be ready for anything. When the Jayhawks take the field this season, I hope they will do so knowing they did everything they could to put themselves in a position to be successful. ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford lies on the field after being hit by BYU's Coleby Clawson in the second quarter of their game on Sept. 5., in Arlington, Texas. The injury forced Bradford to leave the game. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 4 FEATURE Kicker Jacob Branstetter upends Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin during last year's win against the Tigers at Arrowhead Stadium. Branstetter has shown he can make a tackle as well as make a field goal. KANSAN FILE PHOTO NOT YOUR AVERAGE PLACEKICKER With a reputation for making tackles after kickoffs, Jacob Branstetter has shown he is not afraid to bring down a returner By Clark Goble cgoble@kansan.com All Missouri's Jeremy Maclin needed was a few blocks to get his team back into last year's Border Showdown. The receiver, now playing in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles, fielded a short kick from Kansas kicker Jacob Branstetter and found a gap down the left sideline. He was through it in five strides. With a swarm of gold jerseys leading, there was one player between Maclin and a touchdown. And then Maclin got YouTubed. By the kicker. "I'm not going to try to say that I chased him down or I'm faster than him," Branstetter says. "I just happened to catch him when he wasn't looking." Branstetter, now a junior, didn't just take Maclin down. With a low hit, he sent Maclin's legs flying into the air and his helmet into the ground. The tackle was one of seven Branstetter made last year, thereby eliminating any notion that he is a traditional kicker. --- THE WAVE SEPTEMBER11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 5 In ninth grade at MacArthur High School in Lawton, Okla., Branstetter's career goal was to play basketball. He was good too: He played for a few AAU teams in junior high. He played football, filling in at quarterback, free safety and wide receiver, but it wasn't really his priority. In the last football game of his ninth grade year, Branstetter broke his collarbone. He was disappointed, but not because he might miss some of next year's football season. "At that time, all I could think about was that I want to get my collarbone healed to play basketball." Branstetter says. "That's what I wanted to do. I never thought I'd play football." After speaking with his mother, Branstetter decided he would give kicking a chance. He had played soccer since he was a little kid, so he figured he could pick it up quickly. "I just enjoyed kicking a lot at first," he says. "I'm not going to say that I came out and blew people away, but I went out and worked hard at it." Branstetter also says he is lucky that MacArthur had a premier kicking coach who was able to connect him with college coaches around the country. He went to Kansas' kicking camp, but found that the Kansas coaches couldn't offer him a scholarship. So Branstetter accepted a scholarship offer at the Air Force Academy. There, he went through basic training and traveled to the team's first game at Tennessee. Soon after, however, he realized the Air Force wasn't for him. "I didn't feel like I could balance being a cadet and playing football at the same time," Branstetter savs. Transferring was Branstetter's only option, but where to? --- Last year, Kansas State receiver Brandon Banks fielded the Kansas kickoff at the 5-yard line and followed a Wildcat wedge toward the sideline. Surrounded by white and purple, Banks looked poised to break loose for a huge return gain. But the blockers forgot to stop Branstetter. He 14 Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Junior kicker Jacob Branstetter kicks an extra point against Northern Colorado last Saturday. The Jayhawks won the game 49-3 and Branstetter was seven for seven on extra points. "Something inside me just clicks. I see that lane open up and I know I have to make a tackle." Jacob Branstetter, Kansas kicker slipped by the wedge, and once again sent the returner's legs into the air. Branstetter says the sense for hunting down returners is innate. He mentions how he was always around the ball when he played free safety in youth football. "Something inside of me just clicks. I see that lane open up and I know I have to make a tackle," Branstetter says. "It's just a natural feeling as an athlete. We just get those feelings. You just know you have to make a play." --- Branstetter still wanted to play college football, so he called back the coaches who recruited him out of high school, including Kansas' Clint Bowen. Bowen told Branstetter that they had a walk-on spot available and that he could "come and compete." It took two years, but Branstetter finally saw the field last year. Helped by a prolific offense, Branstetter hit 51 extra points to set the school record and made nine of Follow Kansan football writer Clark Goble at twitter.com/cgoble89. 12 field goals overall. But Branstetter doesn't mind staying on the sideline if it helps the team. "Kickers always want to kick. But I want to kick field goals that help this team win games and win championships," Branstetter says. "If we're winning games and championships, I'm OK with that." This summer, Branstetter vowed to get better "in all aspects" of the kicking game. He mainly focused on improving his hangtime, his distance on kickoffs and his consistency on field goals. Coach Mark Mangino says the special teams definitely need improving from last year. There is significant competition for every special teams spot, including all 10 kickoff cover men. Branstetter says that the competition will help improve the coverage teams. "Who wants to be the guy that steps up and makes our special teams one of the better in our conference or in the nation?" he says. This season, Branstetter also wants to try to break the stereotype that kickers are the weakest players on the field and work half as hard as their teammates. Chasing down kick returners is just one part of that. "I've always been the kind of person to go against the norm in society or in football or sports." Branstetter says. "I try to go out there and do my work just like everyone else does." It's been a long time coming for Branstetter, but he isn't happy quite yet. He says he is still working hard to be the best kicker possible and knows his teammates notice. "They know that when I go out there for a game- winner that I'm mentally and physically ready to go like they are," Branstetter says.

Kansas Northern Colorado 49 3 Bears no match for Jayhawks Reesing, Sharp lead Kansas offense in rout of Northern Colorado The Kansas Jayhawks got their season off to a good start last Saturday with a 49-3 victory against the Northern Colorado Bears. It was the sixth year in a row that Kansas has won its home opener. Fellow seniors Kerry Meier and Jake Sharp also had significant contributions in the opening-day win. Meier opened the season with a 30-yard reception and finished with five catches for 115 yards.Sharp rushed for 123 yards and scored two touchdowns. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing led the Jayhawks to victory with a total of four touchdowns on the day. Reesing passed for two and ran for two more, finishing with 208 passing yards and 79 yards on the ground. A 28-0 halftime lead allowed some young players to see playing time late in the game. Kale Pick, freshman quarterback, and Toben Opurum, freshman running back, both saw some action in the fourth quarter. Pick completed both of his pass attempts and ran for 47 yards on just three carries. Opurum scored two touchdowns in the final period and ended up with 79 yards on only eight carries. The Kansas defense allowed Northern Colorado to gain just 172 yards through the air and 74 yards on the ground. The Jayhawks also recovered two fumbles by the Bears.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 10 AROUND THE NATION Games to watch Keep an eye on these matchups N NOTRE DAME VS. MICHIGAN MICHIGAN in a matchup of two of the most successful programs in college football history, look for the Fighting Irish to take care of business and beat the Wolverines. But it won't be easy in Michigan's Big House. UCLA BRUINS UCLA VS. TENNESSEE This game is as much about the coaches as it is about the players. Tennessee fans have high hopes for the program in Lane Kiffin's first season, while Rick Neuheisel is trying to guide UCLA to a big year. TCU TCU VS. VIRGINIA After an embarrassing loss at home to William & Mary, the Cavaliers hope to avoid an 0-2 start to their season. It will be tough to do against a solid TCU team that should contend for the Mountain West Conference crown. ASSOCIATED PRESS BRANHAM YOUNG BYU VS. TULANE T Will BYU be focused for this game or will the Cougars have a letdown after last weekend's upset of Oklahoma? Tulane is coming off a loss to Tulsa but is looking to spring an upset in New Orleans. 2 Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor drops back to pass against Navy during the second quarter of its game last Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. SC USC VS. OHIO STATE The Buckeyes look to avenge last year's loss to the Trojans OHIO STATE Ohio State was embarrassed at the Coliseum in last year's 35-3 loss to USC. The Trojans dominated the Buckeyes in nearly every facet of the game and knocked them out of national title contention. During last year's game, OSU coach Jim Tressel was still alternating between Todd Boeckman and terrelle Pryor at quarterback. This is Pryor's team now. He has more experience than USC freshman quarterback Matt Barkley and this should be key. If Barkley can handle a hostile crowd in Columbus, Ohio, look for the Trojans to come on top. If not, OSU could pull off the upset at home. AP TOP 25 Team (First-place votes) Record Total Votes Prev. Rank 1. Florida (56) 1-0 1493 1 2. Texas (2) 1-0 1424 2 3. USC 1-0 1355 4 4.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN AROUND THE BIG 12 11 Big 12 - Week 2 Compiled by Hallie Mann IOWA STATE TECHNICALS GAME TO WATCH Iowa State v. Iowa With one victory under their belt, the Cyclones will play against their in-state rival this Saturday. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads says the team has set some high goals coming into the season, including winning all of its non-conference games. Going into the first game of the season, Iowa was ranked 22 in the Associated Press polls, but after a narrow 17-16 victory against Northern Iowa last EAGLE week, Iowa State can gain some confidence in its chances for victory. Iowa State has the added advantage of having played its first game on Thursday instead of Saturday, which gives it two extra days to prepare for week two. Iowa State has won seven of its last 11 meetings with Iowa, and this may be its chance to take home its second victory of the season.

Bradford said he hoped to be back in two to four weeks without any surgery for his third-degree separated shoulder injury. In the meantime, freshman Landry Jones will be playing in his place. KANSAS The Jayhawks will see the return of wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe this week after a suspension from playing in the season opener against Northern Colorado. Briscoe was suspended along with defensive lineman Jeff Wheeler, receiver Raimond Pendleton and defensive lineman Jamal Greene. Wheeler and Pendleton violated team policy, while Mangino said Briscoe and Greene's suspensions were related to the time they missed during the spring. COLORADO Colorado's quarterback competition was a joke according to The Daily Camera. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Hansen said he knew weeks before the season opener on Sunday that Cody Hawkins would start for the Buffs. Both Hansen and freshman Clark Evans will redshirt this season despite all of the preseason hype that there was competition for the starting and backup quarterback positions. Last week's playmakers 5 Todd Reesing Kansas quarterback Passed for 208 yards and two touchdowns; rushed for 79 yards and added two touchdowns against Northern Colorado. 10 Blaine Gabbert Missouri quarterback 319 passing yards and three touchdowns; rushed for 39 yards and another score in his first career start. 16 55 Living up to his preseason hype, Cox made four tackles, broke up four passes and produced 97 return yards. Perrish Cox Oklahoma State cornerback THOMPSON Jerrod Johnson Texas A&M quarterback Passed for 349 yards and two touchdowns; rushed for 57 yards and another touchdown. 7 Roy Helu Nebraska tailback Rushed for-152 yards and three touchdowns on runs of one, seven and 44 yards in the first half of Nebraska's victory.

The offense was in rhythm, the defense was solid and the Jayhawks played the part of a top-25 team. Now they must do so on the road. PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore cornerback Anthony Davis In his first game as a starter, Davis committed three pass interference calls before being removed from the game. Davis and the rest of the sec- M. SABIRA Davis an early-season test when they face UTEP's pass-heavy attack. QUESTION MARKS How will the secondary hold up? Kansas' pass defense struggled last year against pass-heavy teams. If they're going to compete in the Big 12 North, the Jayhawks must have a good outing against the Miners. Will Kansas continue using the 'pistol' on offense? Kansas' newly unveiled pistol of fence looked to be a good addition last week. How much will the formation be used this week? BY THE NUMBERS 328 The number of yards Kansas rushed for against Northern Colorado. 280 The most yards Kansas rushed for in a game last season. 20 Passes thrown by quarterback Todd Reeing. 42 Passes thrown by Reesing in Kansas first game last season. Number of true freshman who played against Northern Colorado. Kansas (1-0) A OFFENSE Kansas rushed for 328 yards last week against a Northern Colorado team intent on stopping the pass. Expect senior quarterback Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks to throw the ball more against better competition such as UTEP, Plus, the offense returns its biggest ploymakes Reesing biggest playmaker:Junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe is back after a one game suspension. DEFENSE Kansas played five defensive backs and two linebackers last week. And Kansas will do so again against UTEP's spread offense. Defensive back Chris Harris looked comfortable in his new posi- NONI C. KOWA cornerback-safety. That's a good sign for Kansas' defense. SPECIAL TEAMS Keep an eye on Briscoe when UTEP kicks off. Coach Mark Mangino previously said Briscoe will return kicks this season, something that should help improve Kansas' field position. And Briscoe should get more chances than Kansas did last week: Northern Colorado scored just three points. Briscoe COACHING Mangino and offensive coordinator Ed Warriner added the pistol formation to help running back Jake Sharp find running lanes more easily. Mangino And the decision seemed to pay off: the Jayhawks rushed for 328 yards last week. — Jayson Jenks 1 KANSAS 1 MOMENTUM It's all on the Jawhawks' side. Kansas cruised past a less-talented Northern Colorado team while UTEP lost a close game to Buffalo at home. And it doesn't hurt that Briscoe returns to the field after serving a one-game suspension.

Quarterback Trevor Vittatoe, who had 257 yards against Buffalo, and wide receivers Jeff Moturi and Kris Adams lead the offense for UTEP. Moturi and Adams have the most combined touchdowns of any pair of receivers with 36. With the return of injured running back Vernon Frazier, the Miners' offense 1 Vittatoe will be ready to play on the road. Overall, they have good potential if they can avoid making careless mistakes. DEFENSE The defense is what kept UTEP in the game against Buffalo last week. They didn't allow Buffalo to score in the first and fourth quarter and only gave up 309 yards total. Defensive back Da Mon Cromartie-Smith was the highlight of the defense with 18 tackles last week. The defense also saw some promise from first time starters defensive lineman Andrew King and linebacker Jeremy Springer. PETER MURRAY Regardless, it wasn't enough to stop the Miners from losing and the defense will face off against a strong Jayhawk offense this week on the road. Cromartie-Smith SPECIAL TEAMS Along with the offense, special teams had some surprising and disappointing mistakes last week. Miscommunication during a kickoff return put the Miners at their own 1 yard line. Then, a bad snap on a punt attempt resulted in a safety. With mistakes like these, basic fundamentals, UTEP's special teams are looking weak compared to Kansas. Logan Barrett managed a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to CARLIE BRENNAN Barrett being the Miners within one touchdown of the Buffalos. COACHING Mike Price has coached the winningest five year period in history for UTEP, Price brings 40 years of football coaching experience to the table for UTEP but he will have to work with his players to get out the kinks from the Buffalo game. CARL E. BURR Price MOMENTUM Last week UTEP lost to Buffalo after a slow start riddled with mistakes and penalties. On the other hand, they did rally back to within one point of Buffalo in the second half. If UTEP can keep its errors to a minimum they might be able to hang with the Jayhawks.

AT A GLANCE Last week UTEP outperformed their opponent in almost every way possible except for scoring. Due to a badly handled second quarter they lost by one point. The Miners have a strong offense and a promising defense awaiting the Jayhawks. PLAYER TO WATCH Junior tailback Donald Buckram Dorris playing time last week and proved he can be an asset on offense. Buckram ran for a career high 108 yards in 14 carries for his second. 100 yard running game. Expect to see him with the ball running against Kansas' defense. QUESTION MARKS Will UTEP's offense play up to its potential? Last week was a poor showing for the Miner's offense but it could turn it around this week if it can capitalize on scoring opportunities. Can UTEP's Trevor Vittatoe keep up with Kansas' Todd Reesing? Coach Mike Price praised Reesing as the best quarterback Kansas has ever had but what about his own quarterback? If Price's comments hold true, Vittato is going to be put to shame by Reesing.

Solid performances on both sides of the ball enabled the Tigers to claw the Fighting Illini 37-9 in the Arch Rivalry Game. "I think there was a little bit of an edge," Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel said of his team. "When we've lost as many players as we've lost the last couple years, and you keep reading about how we are going to replace them, I think that drove our focus a little bit." The victory is Missouri's fifth in a row over Illinois and, perhaps more importantly, a confidence booster for a team tired of hearing the doubters. "We came out and worked hard," Missouri senior linebacker Sean Weatherspoon said. "A lot of guys were tired of the naysayers. We were excited for the opportunity to show people what we could do." One of the biggest question marks was how sophomore Blaine Gabbert would fill the shoes of the graduating Chase Daniel. It didn't take long for Gabbert to chip away at the doubts. The Tigers scored on their first two possessions, the first coming on sophomore placekicker Grant Ressel's field goal and the second coming on Gabbert's first touchdown pass as a starter. In his debut, Gabbert proved why he was picked to fill Daniel's shoes. The sophomore threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, connecting on 25 of 33 attempts. He added an 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that capped the scoring for both teams. In the first quarter, Gabbert hooked up with sophomore wide receiver Wes Kemp for a 49-yard score that gave Missouri a 10-0 advantage, and the Tigers did not look back. "It was a good ball by Blaine,good protection by the line,"Kemp said of the touchdown. Gabbert connected with senior wide receiver Jared Perry and sophomore wide receiver Jerrell Jackson for his other two touchdowns. 4 24 56 71 ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri wide receiver Jared Perry runs with the ball after catching a pass for a 46-yard touchdown during the third quarter of the Tigers' game against Illinois last Saturday in St. Louis.

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Wildcats optimistic about defense PAC ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State coach Bill Snyder watches his team during the first half of their game against Massachusetts in Manhattan Saturday The Wildcats defeated the Minutemen 21-17 in Snyder's first game since returning to coach at Kansas State. By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian MANHATTAN — To say K-State's 2008 defensive line had room for improvement would be a massive understatement. A year ago, the Wildcats' front four was less than impressive, allowing 217.7 rushing yards per game — the 11th worst total in the Big 12 Conference. That number escalated to 223.2 yards per game in conference play, which left K-State alone in the conference cellar. A week ago in K-State's 21-17 win against Massachusetts, improvement was evident across the line as the Wildcats held the Minutemen rushing attack to just 110 yards on 26 carries. Despite allowing Massachusetts to eclipse the century mark on the ground, K-State did not allow a rushing touchdown for the first time since a home matchup against Montana State on Sept. 6, 2008. "We took a lot of steps forward between last year and this year,"said redshirt-senior defensive end Eric Childs. "Our tackling got a lot better as you can see. We don't really know what everybody else is saying, but as a defense, we feel like we took steps forward." The 17 points scored by the Minute men in the season opener might be a little misleading, as seven points were a product of a blocked punt and Massachusetts' other two scoring drives started deep in K-State territory. Head coach Bill Snyder, who returned to the K-State sideline for the first time since he retired in 2005, said he was pleased with the defense's efforts in last week's victory. "I think we had five three-and-outs during the course of the ball game," Snyder said. "We held in a number of situations when [Massachusetts] got the ball down [into scoring position]. The blocked field goal, that's your defensive unit, and I thought that was a positive thing." The Wildcat defensive line will be tested this weekend in Lafayette, La., by a Ragin' Cajun offensive line that returns all five starters from the 2008 campaign. Last season, Louisiana-Lafayette's ground attack touched K-State for 335 rushing yards and four scores. Childs said though the Cajuns' experience up front could cause trouble for the Wildcats, it also helps K-State prepare in the days leading up to the game. "We're able to get better keys because we know who's going to be on the field," he said. "We can see how they play from every game they played last year. It gives us a challenge up front." THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ms BIG 12 15 NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Young players should make impact By Spencer Schubert The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — The future is bright for the Nebraska football team,and for five good reasons. More than 20 sophomores or younger saw playing time Saturday night against Florida Atlantic, with six of them getting starting nods. Seeing how influential the young guns were in NU's impressive 49-3 win got me thinking. Who will make the biggest impact next year and the year after that? Putting Green over running back Rex Burkhead might upset some, seeing as Burkhead is already in the mix and Green isn't. But in the few minutes Green was under center, he took advantage of his time. 1 Cody Green, QB, Fr. The names that will follow might not pop off the page here in 2009, but be ready to hear their names early and often as the seasons keep coming in Lincoln. The freshman ran the ball just twice against FAU — one rush being a 49-yard Tommy Frazier-like run down the sideline (against a Florida team no less), and a 1-yard touchdown run to help him total 50 yards. That's 11 yards more than Burkhead on seven fewer carries, in case you were wondering. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini will have an interesting decision to make this coming spring and next fall—who to start between what will soon be returning quarterback Zac Lee and the hyped-up freshman. 2 Rex Burkhead, IB, Fr. Burkheadran the ball nine times for 39 yards in limited time behind starting running back Roy Helu Jr. Because Hellu Jr. was so on that night, the coaching staff gave him the bulk of the carries, and rightfully so. He was the one breaking tackles and running over people to the tune of 152 yards. My guess is Burkhead will get more carries as the season progresses, mostly because HeluJr. will tire and some teams might just flat out have his number. All that is yet to be seen, but Burkhead is another shifty addition that will fit in well behind whoever is calling the signals. 3 Curenski Gilleleyen,WR,So.d Saturday night was Gilleylen's coming out party as the receiver pulled in four balls for a total of 92 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown grab that exhibited his explosive speed. Coming into the 2009 season, the two guys talked about most at receiver were seniors Niles Paul and Menelik Holt, but it was the sophomore who forced them to take a backseat to his show. "Aa Sean Fisher/Will Compton, LBs, RedshirtFr. OK. I cheated a little here, but these two are attached at the hip when talking about their potential. Both started Saturday night, and both were in the top seven for tackles. This could mean a few things. One, they were at the right place at the right time. Or, they made plays that weren't expected of redshirt freshmen. I'm voting for the latter on this one. Fisher and Compton looked anything but inexperienced against the Owls,but it was obvious that learning still needs to happen—after all, the defense did allow 358 total yards. Fisher and Compton will highlight the linebackers alongside sophomore Matthew May in the coming years. 5 Brandon Kinnie, WR, So. Finally, I come to a guy who didn't see a whole lot of the field Saturday but will make an impact in years to come. Kinnie didn't pull down any receptions, and he will not be remembered in the 49-3 NU win, but his small efforts are starting to come together. Remember that 49-yard near touchdown run by Green in the fourth quarter? It was sprung by a block made by Kinnie on the outside — something that doesn't show up in the stat sheet. Kinnie will gradually see more playing time, but as with most of these youthful Huskers, they need to keep learning the playbook.

Nebraska beat Florida Atlantic 49-3. POP COLORADO BUFFALOES Senior QB helps CSU beat Buffaloes By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — Grant Stucker's patience finally paid off. The fifth-year senior quarterback made his first start Sunday night and led Colorado State to a 23-17 upset of Colorado, the Rams' first win in Boulder since 1986. "One thing you've got to look at it, 50 years down the road, do you think you could've stuck it out, regardless if you get the start or not? It's something I didn't want to have — regret," Stucker said. Stucker barely beat out Jon Eastman last week for the starting job, a year after losing out to Billy Farris. "I'm very happy that I was able to have that patience to stick it out." So are the Rams and their fans, who stormed the field to celebrate the second upset for the Mountain West Conference over a Big 12 team in 24 hours, coming on the heels of BYU's stunning 14-13 victory over third-ranked Oklahoma. Stucker threw a 13-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to new running back John Mosure, who also had a 1-yard TD run as the Rams (1-0) took the Folsom Field crowd out early by jumping out to a 17-0 lead. That helped calm down Stucker, whom Rams coach Steve fairchild said had a poor week of practice. "I wasn't sandbagging anybody. First-year quarterback, there's just some growing pains," Fairchild said. "We're not out of the woods yet with him. I think he's a talented young man. Hopefully he'll keep getting better ... I'll certainly pat him on the back and give him his due. That's not easy, coming into this place and trying to win a game like that." Colorado coach Dan Hawkins — who's entering a do-or-die fourth season at Boulder — kept his starter a secret until just before kickoff when his son, junior Cody Hawkins, got the nod over Tyler Hansen. That decision was met with derision by the Buffaloes' student section as Colorado's offense struggled behind Hawkins, who completed 7 of 14 passes for 46 yards in a first half that ended with Colorado (0-1) trailing 20-3. The Buffaloes looked like they had made the proper adjustments at halftime when they took the opening kickoff and needed just four plays to pull to 20-10 on Brian Lockridge's 9-yard touchdown run. Dan Hawkins said he never considered pulling his son, blaming the lack of cohesion on penalties and mental mistakes: "When you're three plays and out it's hard for anyone to get rhythm." Their momentum stalled, however, when wide receiver Scotty McKnight fumbled inside the Rams' 20 on a hard hit by free safety Elijah-Blu Smith and linebacker Alex Williams recovered. The Buffs don't have a lot of time to fix things they play at Toledo on Friday night. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 16 BIG 12 100 OWA STATE CYCLONES --- Cyclones prepare for rivalry game 2 IWAS LA 82 ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS lowa State's Marquis Hamilton catches a touchdown pass in front of North Dakota State's Richard Bowman during the fourth quarter in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State won 34-17. By Jake Lovett Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — After opening the season with a 34-17 victory against North Dakota State, Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads and the Cyclones football team are now preparing for their annual matchup against archrival Iowa this Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. The game kicks off at 11:05 a.m. Drop from the Poll Iowa had to survive to beat Northern Iowa 17-16 last Saturday, and its struggles were reflected in the most recent Associated Press poll released Monday. The previously 22nd-ranked Hawkeye fell completely from the top 25, and only received 24 total votes, meaning that for the third-straight season, neither Iowa State nor Iowa will be ranked in the AP's top 25 for the game. In Monday's press conference, Rhoads mentioned several times that the Hawkeyes were a "well-deserving nationally ranked team, but the voters were clearly unimpressed by the onepoint victory at home to the Panthers of the FCS. Rhoads insisted, however, that the Hawkeye's national status wouldn't affect the outcome of the game. "These kids play them every year, they know how physical Iowa is, they know Iowa's tradition of winning," Rhoads said. "The fact the Northern lowa- Iowa game was so close in score will have no effect on what they expect coming into this football game." Ground Game Last week, Iowa State compiled 217 yards between quarterback Austen Arnaud and running backs Alexander Robinson and Jeremiah Schwartz. Robinson had 77 yards in the first half on 13 carries (5.2 yards per carry), but he only had eight yards in the second half on three carries. "[The flow of the offense] was part of it, but at the same time, North Dakota State made some great adjustments to stop the run at halftime," Robinson said. "We just tried to take what they gave us and not try to do anything spectacular or anything like that." Rhoads said he expects to see Robinson, a Junior from Minneapolis, be more aggressive in the coming weeks than he was against the Bison. This week's opponent, Iowa, only gave up 84 yards on the ground last week against Northern Iowa, though. "I'll get the ball here and there; whenever it calls for it, I'll run the ball," Robinson said. "I was just trying to execute what was called and trying to not make a mistake, and I'm going to try and do that better than I did in week one." On the defensive side of the ball, the Cyclones gave up 210 rushing yards to the Bison, including a career-high 146 yards to NDSU's Pat Paschall. The Hawkeyes struggled running the ball against Northern Iowa in the wake of losing pre-season starter Jewel Hampton, but will likely try to establish the run this week with redshirt freshman Adam Robinson and junior Paki O'Meara. "Anytime a team gives you two guys in the backfield, you've got to pack an extra guy in the box, as coaches like to say," said Rhoads. "The dangerous item with all of that is play-action pass and misdirection pass and the opportunity to give up the big play." Welcome Back Rhoads will be the head coach against his school's archrival for the first time, but this is far from his first trip around the block. While coaching under Dan McCarney, Rhoads faced Iowa five times and helped the Cyclones win twice in 1998 and 1999. The coach isn't the only one with experience against the Hawkeyes, as Robinson will be one of many players facing the rivals from the east again. Robinson has 75 yards on the ground in his two previous matchups with Iowa, as well as getting 42 yards through the air in last season's loss. "It's just a great atmosphere," Robinson said. "It's definitely a big game with the emotions that go through you when you get out there." TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Bears could surprise teams in Big 12 By Landry Locker The Daily Toreador LUBBOCK, Texas — Week 1 of the college football season is a chance to separate the overrated from the underrated,a chance for teams to make statements and an opportunity for people like me to analyze the statements these teams make. A Big 12 Conference South team made a statement in Week 1 of the college football season, and I am not talking about Oklahoma State, who defeated Georgia by 14 points in Stillwater, Okla. No, the biggest statement of the week in the Big 12 was made by the Baylor Bears. Football fans tend to overanalyze their teams early in the season and while a lot of people are overreacting to Tech's unimpressive win against North Dakota, it cannot be understated how impressive Baylor's road victory against Wake Forest was. Briles — the former Texas Tech running backs coach — has taken Baylor from the laughingstock of the Big 12 to a dangerous team that no longer is a decorated scrimmage for opponents. Wake Forest is by no means a powerhouse, but just three years ago, Baylor would've had no chance at beating an ACC team on the road, or even in Waco. What second-year coach Art Briles has done at Baylor in such a short time is nothing short of phenomenal. I am not saying that the Bears will compete for a national championship or even a conference title, but just the fact that the Bears are making noise in the Big 12 and have a realistic chance to make their first bowl game in 15 years is beyond impressive. Some of the cynical people in Big 12 country find it hard to be impressed by a team that will merely compete for an appearance in a bowl game, but you have to understand just how bad Baylor was before Briles arrived in Waco. Last season, Briles inherited an unaltered, three-win team that didn't win a single game in Big 12 play in 2007 and a program with 13 losing seasons since 1992. In just his second season as coach of the Bears, Briles has transformed Baylor into an exciting and competitive football team. The Bears are lead by sophomore dualthreat quarterback Robert Griffin a freshman All-American last season and another huge reason for the program's turnaround. Griffin originally committed to Houston to play for Briles but followed him to Waco when he was named the Bears' coach. Some skeptics might call it luck that Briles lured Griffin to Waco, but Briles never has had a problem getting top-level talent at mid-level programs dating back to his days at Houston. Teams in the Big 12 need to make note of this team, because as long as Briles is in Waco, the Bears are going to compete every week and the days of the Baylor scrimmage are a thing of the past. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG1217 OKLAHOMA SOONERS Don't count out Sooners quite yet By Jono Greco The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — Things may seem bleak in Norman after suffering three losses within the last week, but all is not lost for the No.13 football team. Yes, the Sooners lost to 23-point underdog No. 9 Brigham Young University in the season opener. And yes, Heisman-winning junior quarterback Sam Bradford is out for two to four weeks and All-American senior tight end Jermaine Gresham is gone for the season. But, there is a flickering light at the end of what seems to be a caved-in tunnel. So, there isn't a need to worry just yet. The Sooners have the Idaho State Bengals coming into Norman Saturday, and the game should serve as a nice rebound with freshman quarterback Landry Jones making his first career start. Jones was expected to get some playing time against the Bengals, with the thought that the Sooners would be healthy and the offense working on all cylinders. Bradford and the rest of the first-team offense would have had their way with Idaho State, and head coach Bob Stoops would have sent in the backups to finish the game. With the recent hiccups in the master plan, Jones gave OU fans a nice preview to what is most likely the team's future once Bradford leaves for the National Football League. Jones played well but received very little support, and Stoops said he was impressed with Jones' performance. What should worry OU is the fact it has a bunch of inexperienced players playing undisciplined football. Against BYU, the Sooners sent out six first-time players, and surrendered 93 yards off 12 penalties. The majority of the penalties can be credited to an offensive line that is still trying to find its identity. If the Sooners don't get their act together in time for Big 12 play, then it will be a long season for the coaches, the team and the fans. But OU has not reached the point of no return yet, so there isn't a reason to push the panic button. 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones is pressured out of the pocket by BYU defenders during Saturday's matchup in Arlington, Texas. Jones took the field after quarterback Sam Bradford was removed from the game with a shoulder injury. THE SEARCH FOR THE SHIRT CONTINUES YOUR SCHOOL. YOUR SHIRT. YOUR HISTORY.

The resulting drive ended in a 12-yard touchdown pass in OSU's 24-10 win. By Jeff Latzke Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — Zac Robinson threw two touchdown passes to star receiver Dez Bryant and also scored on a quarterback sneak as No. 9 Oklahoma State proved itself deserving of its highest preseason ranking ever by beating 13th-ranked Georgia 24-10 on Saturday. The Cowboys capitalized on a fourth quarter fumble by new Georgia starting quarterback Joe Cox to seal the season opening win on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Bryant. The two also hooked up on an impressive 46-yard score in the first half that got Oklahoma State's offense going after a sloppy start. Robinson finished with 135 yards on 11 for 22 passing, and Bryant made the most of his three catches for 77 yards. Cox was 15 for 30 for 162 yards with one interception, but the Georgia offense — a group looking for new stars after the early departures of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno — slowed to a halt after his 4-yard TD pass to Michael Moore on the game's opening drive. The Bulldogs' first season opener outside the southeast in 51 years was set up as a grand reopening of Oklahoma State's stadium after a $286 million renovation. It ended up as the most anticipated home opener in OSU history as the Cowboys returned most of their stars from last year's breakout 9-4 season. A record crowd of 53,012 turned out as billionaire donor T. Boone Pickens rededicated the stadium. Career rushing-leader Thurman Thomas made a cameo, too. Eventually, the Cowboys' current stars also showed up. Bryant got Oklahoma State's scuffling offense going when he got behind the defense and made a diving catch of Robinson's 46-yard pass in the second quarter, tying the game at 7. Safety Lucien Antoine then knocked the ball free from tailback Carlton Thomas on the second snap of Georgia's next drive, and Terrance Anderson scooped it up at the 6. Oklahoma State settled for Dan Bailey's 28-yard field goal and a 10-7 halftime lead after a holding call negated Robinson's scramble for a 1-yard TD on fourth-and-goal. Perrish Cox returned the second-half kick off 75 yards to get the Cowboys going again. BAYLOR BEARS After another fourth-down gamble inside the 5 by Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, Robinson put OSU up 17-7 with his 1-yard sneak. Bears surprise Wake Forest on the road By Justin Baer Baylor Lariat WACO, Texas — Baylor escaped Winston-Salem, N.C., Saturday evening with a narrow 24-21 victory against Wake Forest University. Given a reprieve to overcome last season's nauseating 41-13 defeat in Waco, Baylor marched into BB&T Field and bolstered the preseason hype encompassing Art Briles and the Bears. While the Bears first road victory since Sept, 22, 2007, is noteworthy in itself, many lingering questions were answered in the season-opening triumph over the Demon Deacons. Don't Gettis another receiver yet Senior wide receiver David Gettis has been harped on by the media and fans for his inability to secure the ball in pressing situations. The former Army High School All-American was said to be in jeopardy of his starting job if "his talk didn't back up his play." Gettis responded to the message. On the first series of his senior season, Gettis adjusted to an underthrown pass from Robert Griffin and snatched it out of the air for a 37-yard completion. Four plays later, Gettis caught his first touchdown since 2006, when Griffin laced an eight-yard pass to the back corner of the end zone. Even though the passing game was tempered in the second half, Gettis still had an influential presence. The 6-foot-4 Los Angeles native provided an essential block on Kendall Wright's 37-yard touchdown run on Baylor's initial series of the second half. The anticipated premiere of Penn State transfer and defensive tackle Phil Taylor surpassed expectations. The 355-pound mammoth clogged running lanes and smothered Wake Forest's rushing attack to Phil-ing a need 3. 7 yards-per-carry.Taylor also captured an interception in the midst of the Demon Deacons' first series. If that wasn't enough for the Big 12 preseason Newcomer of the Year's debut, the preponderant junior contributed offensively in the backfield of the "heavy set," just another one of Briles's ingenious offensive innovations. Briless's creativity spurred once again in the third quarter when Griffin tossed a lateral to senior wide receiver Ernest Smith. With three Demon Deacons voraciously approaching, Smith lobbed a pass to a wide-open Lanear Sampson who trotted in the end zone to give Baylor a 24-7 lead. Not another "Baylor" moment Despite the Bears nearly faltering in the final 16 minutes of the game, Baylor distinguished itself Saturday as a team capable of generating a first-half lead and preserving it, something that hampered the Bears in 2008, (see games against Missouri, Nebraska and Texas Tech). Led by fourth-year starter and the ACC's all-time leader in completion percentage, Riley Skinner, Wake Forest stormed back into the game. The once 17-point lead evaporated after Skinner completed a five-yard pass in the back of the end zone to tight end Andrew Parker. But the Bears stood undaunted in the waning minutes of the contest and secured a much-needed victory on their journey to a bowl berth. While the season is still in the infancy stage, Baylor's victory against its toughest non-conference opponent is testimonial to the change of atmosphere Briles has cemented into the football program. As a resident in the Big 12 South, many bumps remain on the road to fruition for this team. But with team victories such as Saturday's, it's finally evident these aren't your average Bears. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 19 TEXAS LONGHORNS Converted tight end gives Texas a boost 11 VEGAS ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas' Cody Johnson dives in for a touchdown against Louisiana-Monroe during the first quarter of their game last Saturday in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns won 59-20. By Blake Hurtik Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — Of all the positives to come out of the Texas football team's season-opening trouncing of Louisiana-Monroe, Dan Buckner received arguably the most praise from coaches and players. The wide receiver-turned-flex tight end had a career day with five catches for 62 yards, most coming over the middle in tight coverage. While not a traditional tight end by any means at 6-foot-4-inches tall and 215 pounds, he gives the second-ranked Longhorns a sure-handed option underneath who presents mismatches for linebackers and safeties. "He became a really fast flex tight end as compared to a receiver with good speed," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "Dan has great hands, he doesn't have good hands. He very rarely drops a ball." Texas' depth at tight end was the biggest question mark heading into the season after Blaine Irby, D.J. Grant and Ian Harris all suffered serious injuries. But in Texas' spread offense, a traditional tight end might not be needed, which suits Buckner just fine. "It's starting to show that he's feeling comfortable," receiver Jordan Shipley said. "If we can have several different receivers catching balls and making plays, then they can't double-team anybody." For run-blocking duties, Texas used Greg Smith, a converted tackle, on 26 plays Saturday. Sophomore Ahmord Howard, a converted defensive end, and freshman Barrett Matthews also saw some snaps. Huey, Norton out Right guard Michael Huey and linebacker Jared Norton won't make the trip to Wyoming this weekend after both left Saturday's game with injuries. Huey had to be carted off the field in the third quarter with a left ankle injury. He'll be replaced by "sixth starter" David Snow, who has made two career starts at center. The injury also forced Texas to move lineman Tray Allen back to offense full-time for depth purposes after using the junior exclusively on defense against ULM. "He's more of a run-stopper on defense so when you're playing a team that's going to throw it a whole lot out of the spread set [like Wyoming], we feel that we have a bigger need on offense for depth" Brown said. Roddrick Muckelroy will slide over from weak side linebacker to take over Norton's middle linebacker spot. Sophomore Keenan Robinson will fill in for Muckelroy. Special teams enforcer While Muckelroy expectedly led the Longhorns with seven tackles Saturday, a freshman made an impact on the stat sheet. Kenny Vaccaro, a defensive back from Brownwood, tied Norton for second on the team with six tackles — three of which came on special teams. Brown recognized his efforts by awarding him the "Hard Hat" weekly team award for hardest hit. "We're really impressed by him." Brown said. "He can be an impact on special teams and maybe in playing time as well." TEXAS A&M AGGIES Johnson, Aggies trounce Lobos in first game By Chris Duncan Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Jerrod Johnson threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score to lead Texas A&M to a 41-6 win over New Mexico on Saturday. Johnson completed 31 of 41 passes, and Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael added touchdown runs for the Aggies (1-0), who piled up 606 yards. The A&M defense showed dramatic improvement from last season, holding New Mexico to 21 rushing yards and sacking Donovan Porterie five times. Porterie completed 29 of 40 passes for New Mexico (0-1) in his first start since tearing ligaments in his right knee in the fourth game last season and undergoing surgery. The Lobos played poorly in Mike Locksley's head coaching debut and failed to score a touchdown in their opener for the fourth straight season. The loss also marked New Mexico's 10th straight defeat in Texas. The Aggies,starting their second year under Mike Sherman, dominated from the start and built a 20-3 halftime lead. Johnson completed a 42-yard pass to freshman Uzoma Nwachukwu on A&M's first possession and Johnson scrambled for a 16-yard touchdown with 9:52 left in the opening quarter. Michael, one of 12 freshmen to play for A&M in the first half, broke two runs over 20 yards on the Aggies' next possession. Michael went out for a rest and Cyrus Gray's 13-yard touchdown run put A&M up 17-0 with 4:44 left in the half. Jeff Fuller caught an 18-yard pass from Johnson early in the second quarter, setting up Randy Bullock's 22-yard field goal. Fuller led A&M with 10 catches for 111 yards in the game. Demand Dennis fumbled on the Lobos' next play from scrimmage. A&M safety Jordan Pugh recovered and Bullock kicked a field goal for a 20-1 lead. James Aho kicked a field goal with 13 seconds left in the first half to complete New Mexico's best drive of the game. The A&M marched 86 yards in 12 plays to start the second half. Johnson went 6-for-6 on the drive and Michael finished it with a 2-vard touchdown run. Aho matched his career best with a 48-yard field goal later in the third quarter. A&M answered with a 17-play drive, capped by Johnson's 7-yard touchdown pass to Fuller. Johnson threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to freshman Kenric McNeal with 9:14 left. Tommy Dorman finished the game at quarterback for the Aggies. Aggies defense, one of the nation's worst in 2008, held the Lobos to two rushing yards and nine first downs in the first half. Texas A&M has won 24 of its last 26 home openers, though it lost to Arkansas State in Sherman's debut in 2008. Texas A&M's Uwoma Nwachukuw is hit by New Mexico's Frankie Baca, left, after a reception during the second quarter of their game last Saturday in College Station, Texas. The Aggies won 41-6.

Now he owns a successful Lawrence bar known for its island theme. By Brenna Hawley bhawley@kansan.com Walk into the Sandbar on most Thursday nights and Dave will probably be behind the bar. He makes dirty banana shots like a pro, and shark attacks were a discovery in New Orleans. He stands at 6-foot-10 behind the bar, and when he gets on top of it to dance along with the Sandbar song, he's close to hitting his head on the ceiling. David Johanning isn't the normal bartender though. He's partial owner of the Sandbar, an island-themed bar for the 21-and-up crowd. But more importantly to KU fans, he was once captain of a basketball team that played under Roy Williams. He was No. 54 on the team that almost beat Duke for the 1991 national championship and even blocked a shot by Duke legend Christian Laettner during the game. These days were recollected this summer when Dave got a package in the mail from Colorado with a piece of floorboard and a Sharpie asking for his autograph from an avid KU basketball fan. Most of the time, though, it's all about the Sandbar. --- Left: Johanning passes a ball during practice. Bottom left: Johanning dances during a Late Night celebration.

CENTER KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS 54 CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 21 Kansas basketball Dave was always the big kid at school. "My whole family is big," he says. "I'm just bigger than them." After graduating from Bishop Carroll High School in Wichita, Dave redshirted at Clemson and then went to Hutchinson Community College with a brief foray to Southern Methodist University. While in Hutchinson, third-year coach Roy Williams recruited him to Kansas over his other options of Wisconsin and Creighton. He wanted to stay close to home, and Kansas fit the bill. During his first season, the Jayhawks almost hung another championship banner in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. Dave played in 30 games that year, a year the Jayhawks started unranked nationally in the Associated Press poll. Returning only one starter, the team wasn't ranked until Jan.29 and ended the season ranked 12th, but the Jayhawks still went 15-0 in Allen Fieldhouse. "Allen Fieldhouse, it's unbelievable. There's no place like it." Dave says. Despite the national lack of faith in the Jayhawks, the team powered through the NCAA tournament all the way to the end. They played through three teams to meet Arkansas in the Elite 8, were down 12 at half and won by 12. Then they played North Carolina and coach Dean Smith was thrown out of the game. Then came Duke and Dave's favorite KU basketball memory — blocking Christian Laettner's shot. The Jayhawks lost to Duke by six points, but that didn't ruin the experience. "Playing basketball at the University of Kansas — not many things can top that," he says. "People dream of that. Senior year, Coach Williams made Dave a captain, a tradition for the team. Greg Ostertag joined the team and officially became the tallest player at 7-foot-2. Dave says Williams kept his team focused on the game at hand SANDBAR EST. 1989 Lawrence Bendix "Home of the Harrowman" Top right: Johanning dances birthday party CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS Top right: Johanning dances along to the Sandbar song with a birthday party.

He's famous in a different kind of way." — Debbi Johanning rather than thinking ahead, especially in tournaments. "You never heard him cuss but you knew when he got upset," Dave says. After Allen Fieldhouse The team won the Big 8 tournament that year and went 26-4 in the regular season, but UTEP knocked the team out of the NCAA tournament in the second round, ending Dave's KU basketball career. After his stint as a KU basketball player, Dave still had a year left of school to finish his graphic design degree. He was working several places at the same time and eventually started frequenting the Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St. Then he got a job there — the place where he'd eventually meet his wife, Debbi. Debbi's mom always loved watching Dave play basketball. Debbi was in high school, but her mom always talked about him playing, so Debbi knew his name well. "She thought he was just the cutest boy ever and she said his name a lot," Debbi says. Then she went to the University and out to the Sandbar. She heard someone mention Dave, who wasn't working but was hanging out at the bar. Debbi knew she had to get a picture with him, and that picture still hangs on her mother's refrigerator. "She likes to tell people she hand-picked my husband," Debbi says. "Our theme is you can come in here and be silly and no one's going to look down on you," he says. "It's the reason I still bartend. I love that atmosphere and love meeting new people." And he takes his work seriously. Dave, Madl and her brother went to Disneyland and saw that rides were interactive, so the bar needed to be. On Dave's Jamaican honeymoon with Debbi, they discovered the Sandbar's legendary dirty banana shot. There it was made in a blender with real bananas and rum cream, but Debbi says Dave has perfected it on the mainland blender-free with crème de cacao, crème de banana, coffee liqueur and half and half. The Sandbar Three years ago, Sandbar owner Peach Madl approached longtime employee and manager Dave to buy a portion of the bar. Being an owner didn't stop Dave from enjoying everything the Sandbar is. On a trip to New Orleans, Dave found inspiration for the Sandbar's shark attack drink, a blue cocktail complete with a plastic shark filled with grenadine "blood." Used sharks hang from the ceiling and walls of the bar. And owners Peach, Dave and Debbi made the bar an experience. A Nashville songwriter wrote the Sandbar song, now played and danced to every night at 10 p.m. during a "hurricane." The fish tank near the front of the bar used to be home to Sammy the shark, but he eventually started eating other fish and got too big for the tank. A puffer fish lives in the tank with other tropical fish now. Giant tiki heads adorn both the inside and outside of the bar. Sandbar shirts can be seen in pictures around the world, as far-reaching as Germany, Mexico and Sweden. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Dave says he regularly sees teammates like Gurley, Mike Maddox and Terry Brown at basketball games and reunions, something Dave says the Athletics Department does a great job with. "You don't realize how small the world is till you see how a place that holds 50 people can spread," Dave says. Dave's old teammates, such as Greg Gurley, who lives in the Kansas City area, visit the bar now. Gurley says when he comes to town, he finds his way to the Sandbar. "It's fun to come back and see the guys," he says. "It says a lot about the Lawrence community that guys still live there and go back there." "The younger players get to see the tradition,"he says."I love Lawrence.The University of Kansas provides so much energy to this town." But Debbi says basketball is largely out of his life beyond seeing his old teammates at events and the occasional floorboard autograph. "For a long time people would recognize him from basketball and now it's the Sandbar," Debbi says. "He's famous in a different kind of way."

Kimberly Tate, Lawrence senior, however, switched from drinking tap water to using a Pur water filter. “I figured a filter might help remove the crap in tap water a little bit,” she said.

Engraving of ancient menorah found in Israel JERUSALEM — Israeli archaeologists have uncovered one of the earliest depictions of a menorah, the seven-branched candelabra that has come to symbolize Judaism, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Friday. The menorah was engraved in stone around 2,000 years ago and found in a synagogue recently discovered by the Sea of Galilee. Pottery, coins and tools found at the site indicate the synagogue dates to the period of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, where the actual menorah was kept, said archaeologist Dina Avshalom-Gorni of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The artist might have seen the menorah during a pilgrimage and then recreated it in the synagogue, she suggested. A small number of depictions of the menorah have surfaced from the same period, she said, but this one was unique because it was inside a synagogue and far from Jerusalem, illustrating the link between Jews around Jerusalem and in the Galilee to the north. 2. Russia opens credit line to Venezuela for weapons CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez says Russia has opened a $2.2 billion line of credit for Venezuela to purchase armored vehicles and surface-to air missiles. Chavez said Venezuela needed new weapons to replace outdated equipment while preparing for what he claimed was a possible U.S. invasion. The socialist leader frequently warned that Washington wanted to seize control of his country's oil reserves. The arms deal was announced last week during Chavez's visit to Moscow, and he gave details Sunday. He says his government plans to buy 92 T-72 tanks and Smerch missile launching systems. Venezuela has already bought more than S4 billion worth of Russian arms since 2005, including helicopters, fighter jets and Kalashnikov assault rifles. 3. Congregation detains robber in Virgin Islands CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands — Members of a church congregation in the U.S. Virgin Islands have wrestled with a gun-toting robber and held him captive until police arrived. They say one man gave up money to the robber and then knocked the gun out of his hand. Other church members then grabbed the suspect. Authorities say 18-year-old Kurt Huggins entered the Iglesia De Dios Sol de Justicia on St. Croix island Saturday and ordered everyone to lie down as he robbed them at quoin点. NATIONAL 4. FBI investigates 'stolen' note by Jackie Kennedy NATIONAL DALLAS — A Dallas newspaper reports that the FBI is investigating a "stolen" handwritten condolence note by Jacqueline Kennedy to Ethel Kennedy that was penned shortly after Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that investigators and Kennedy relatives suspected the note was taken from Robert and Ethel Kennedy's McLean, Va., home. The note has changed hands several times and has sold for as much as $25,000. It made its way to a Dallas auction house in 2006, when it was consigned by an attorney from Framingham, Mass. A Kennedy relative told the FBI that his family had never given nor sold the note. The FBI used a search warrant to seize it Aug. 27 from Heritage Auction Galleries. FBI spokesman Mark White says the note is "a stolen good" and part of a criminal investigation. 5. Catholic Church settles two sexual abuse lawsuits PUEBLO, Colo. — Two men who filed lawsuits alleging they were sexually abused by a former priest have reached settlements with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pueblo, a newspaper reported Sunday. Monsignor Mark Plewka of the diocese confirmed the settlements with a man and his nephew, The Pueblo Chieftain said. The man alleged Andrew Burke abused him from 1970-78. The lawsuits accuse Burke of establishing a similar relationship with the man's nephew. Burke left the priesthood in 1973. He committed suicide in September 2005 at age 62, after reporters asked questions about the allegations. 6. TV show aids in capture of robbery suspect in Mo. KINGDOM CITY, Mo. — A man suspected of robbing banks in five states has been captured in Missouri after someone recognized him from the television show America's Most Wanted. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a news release Sunday that Chad E. Schaffner was arrested Saturday at a motel in the small town of Kingdom City, about 25 miles east of Columbia. The 37-year-old Indianapolis man was wanted on felony warrants for bank robbery, burglary, armed robbery and receiving stolen property. Authorities think he robbed banks in Illinois, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. Scaffner was named a suspect in the robberies after bank surveillance photos from holdups dating to May were flashed on electronic billboards across the South. Associated Press What do you think?

He said he wanted to help the cause, but that his stomach couldn't handle the running, eating and running again. "Ild lose the contents of my stomach, and then some," he said. Meyer said the decision to have runners eat crunchy chicken cheddar wraps was especially appropriate for students. "its kind of a cultural icon here on campus. It's delicious, its popular and we wanted it to be a part of our event," he said. The event was inspired by a similar event at North Carolina State University called the Krispy Kreme Challenge, Meyer said. Runners there had to eat a dozen donuts Many participants, like Brad Evans, Minnetonka, Minn., junior, and Jobie Buehler, Bonner Springs junior, showed up to the event wearing colorful costumes. The pair did not take off their female sumu suits once throughout the three-mile race. "We're two sexy ladies ready to compete, and take home the gold," Evans said. "We're holding nothing back." before finishing the race. Valerie Peterson, Wichita freshman, didn't share their energy. She said she came for the free wrap and T-shirt and was going to walk. ADMINISTRATION "Even if I ran, I think the people in the fat suits would just run past me," she said. KU Habitat for Humanity hopes to make the Crunchy Chicken Challenge an annual event. All proceeds went to help fund the construction of a house in Lawrence. Edited by Abbey Strusz University begins search for provost, deans BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Now that the new chancellor is in place, University administrators say it's time to begin the search for a new provost. Lynn Bretz, director of communications for the University, said it was a priority for Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to select a new provost. Though Gray-Little will make the final decision on a provost, she chose a search committee, which was announced on Sept. 2. The committee will hold its first meeting today. Mabel Rice, a Fred and Virginia Merrill distinguished professor of advanced studies, is the chairwoman of the committee. Bretz said Rice was one of the University's top researchers. "It's really a blue-ribbon group" Bretz said. "I'm excited to see who the candidates are, and I really have no doubt that KU will attract some top-notch candidates," Heilman said. "Hopefully it will be a tough decision for us." Mason Heilman, Lawrence senior and student body president, will also serve on the committee. He said it was important to find a candidate who was able to work with students because the provost deals with student issues more directly than the chancellor. The previous provost, Richard Lariviere, was hired to the president of the University of Oregon last March. Danny Anderson, vice provost for academic affairs, is serving as the interim provost. The School of Music opened July 1. John Stephens, professor of voice and opera and chairman of the music dean search committee. Greg Simpson is serving as the interim dean of the College. Joseph Steinmetz, his predecessor, accepted a position at Ohio State University. "As a professional musician myself, and I am one of many professional musicians who are on this faculty, we realize how competitive the musical world is, regardless of if it's classical or Broadway," Stephens said. "To me, one of the main duties, at least in my mind, is simply to lead and inspire the faculty and students of this School of Music." Search committees have also been named for the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Music. The search for the deans will happen at the same time as the search for the new provost, but Bretz said naming the provost was still the priority. Joyce Castle, professor of voice and opera and dean search committee member, said the committee would look for someone to bring said the committee for the School of Music was scheduled to meet next week. He said it was important to find a candidate with a love of music and dedication to training students who were pursuing music degrees. "We all will be thinking about who we know in the field who might be interested or we think will be really wonderful for the job," Castle said. the school of Music "to a very high level" Stephens said although the music program had been strong when it was in the School of Fine Arts before, the move to make a separate school would make the focus on music much more specific. "I think it enables us to find a person who really has strengths in music and leading musical programs," Stephens said Three soldiers killed in Afghanistan ASSOCIATED PRESS — Edited by Abbey Strusz KABUL — About 50 Taliban militants died in a battle in western Afghanistan after an insurgent ambush killed three U.S. troops, an Afghan official said Sunday. The fighting took place in a region controlled by militants that has been the site of huge battles in the past, some that have caused high numbers of civilian casualties. In Saturday's clash, a militant-fired rocket struck a home and killed a woman and a teenage girl. Afghan police said. The battle followed an insurgent ambush that killed three Americans and seven Afghan troops, said Afghan army spokesman Maij. Abdul Basir Ghori. The ambush involved two roadside bombs, gunfire and rocketpropelled grenades, the U.S. military said Sunday. She couldn't provide casualty figures and no other Afghan officials immediately confirmed the death toll. Fighting — which included NATO airstrikes — continued for six to eight hours after the ambush, U.S. military spokeswoman Capt. Elizabeth Mathias said. Saturday's violence came the same day that Afghan officials said 50 other civilians, security forces and militants were killed in a spate of attacks around Afghanistan, including 20 noncombatants killed in two roadside bomb explosions. "The combined ISAF and Afghan force was receiving significant small-arms, RPG and indirect fire throughout that time frame," she said, referring to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.

The president discussed the current criticism of the health care plan. He also emphasized Republicans and Democrats coming together in order to achieve reform. Students split on Obama speech Some expressed hope, others cynicism, after president's address to Congress on health care BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com Throughout American history, presidents since Theodore Roosevelt have attempted to crack what some consider to be one of the nation's toughest issues: health care. President Barack Obama. Congress on Sept. 9, addressed both the criticisms and the new direction the nation would take with the hotly discussed issue.

"There's four bills floating out there right now, and he never once specified any of what he was talking about and he basically talked about the same thing that he always talks about. You know, we need to cut costs; obviously we need to cut costs. How are we going to cut costs?" "I just thought it was more of the same ... obviously we need to cut costs. How are we going to cut costs?" One of the primary complaints about Obama's speech is the uncertainty of how the new administration plans to tackle the health care reform. "I just thought it was more of the same," said Mav Davies, mem- MAY DAVIS College Republicans the speech covering everything," Johnson, Lawrence junior, said. "You can't get into every detail. Of course he was vague. In this coming week there's going to be a lot more developments and a lot more specifics, but, yes, I can see how that would be a criticism." "It's just a 45-minute speech covering The vagueness of the speech was something that Libby Johnson, a Democrat and off-campus senator for Student Senate, said that she could understand but didn't necessarily see as a problem. Johnson said that she also wanted to hear the details of Obama's plan to reform health care. In a bipartisan agreement, Obama is planning to reduce the financial effects of lawsuits for medical malpractice. "There's certain parts of the plan that I think Republicans very much agree with." Eric Foss, president of College Republicans, said. Doctors, in order to fight these lawsuits, buy insurance for themselves so they can cover the costs of such lawsuits. Some, however, have argued that the money could be used for better purposes. "I'm happy to hear he's willing to concede on that point, but I'm going to wait to see if he actually Foss said that he was hesitant, however, to think that Obama would actually change the policy, despite having discussed the matter on national television. "It's just a 45-minute speech covering everything. You can't get into every detail." LIBBY JOHNSON Off-campus student senator does or not," Foss said. Although Obama has become known by many for his powerful public speaking, some observers said that they were still left wanting details. "I think the president is a very talented public speaker, and he's very good at using soaring language," Foss said. "I think if the Democrats want to start winning people over to their side on the health care bill, they're going to need to start proposing real policies, not just soaring language." Although four bills from different committees are currently out there, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said that his Senate Finance Committee, the last committee involved, would meet in about two weeks to begin drafting legislation.

Center-left challenger Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is opposing Merkel in the Sept. 27 vote and trailing badly in polls, portrayed himself as a champion of "social balance" and said a shift to the right would mean a growing gap between rich and poor. Polls by two television channels found neither candidate scoring a decisive victory in a debate that, like much of the campaign, was short on passion and personal attacks. RTL put Merkel ahead by a 37-35 percent margin; ARD gave Steinmeier a narrow 43-42 percent win. Merkel, a conservative, was looking to strengthen her chances of ending an awkward "grand coalition" with Steinmeier's Social Democrats. In a second term, she aims to form a new center-right government with a pro-business opposition party, the Free Democrats. "This 'grand coalition' has worked well under my leadership," Merkel said, pointing to a decline in unemployment since she took office in 2005. "But I think that we pursue this course with more determination ... and so I am campaigning for a new government," she said. "The 'grand coalition' did great work and now — in the most serious crisis since the '30s — we really need a determined policy for more work." Steinmeier, Merkel's foreign minister and vice chancellor, also praised the coalition's work, but insisted it "fell short of its possibilities" because Merkel's Christian Democratic Union failed to support center-left proposals such as the introduction of a minimum wage. He pushed that call, arguing that a "downward wage spiral" in Germany must be stopped. Merkel said a one-size-fits-all minimum wage would mean jobs lost, and argued for each industry to set its own minimum. Merkel is pledging tax relief, though no date has been set. She argued that would motivate people and stimulate growth to pull Germany out of its worst economic crisis since the 1930s. The key question is "how do we get out of this valley as fast as possible?" Merkel said. "For me, a three-word sentence is the credo: growth creates jobs." Steinmeier was quick to counter, however, that with the government racking up big debts to deal with the crisis, "that isn't possible." A center-right government "will mean that those who helped cause the crisis are not made responsible for its costs; (it) will mean that the gap between poor and rich grows; (it) will mean that there is a return to nuclear power," he said. Both candidates defended the decision to offer billions in credit to help a Canadian-Russian consortium buy a majority in automaker Opel from General Motors Co. "A company that builds great cars has been given a chance," said Merkel. Steinmeier defended the move as saving jobs. One issue where they sparred was Germany's plan to shut down all 17 nuclear plants by 2021. Steinmeier is defending that plan, worked out by his party's previous government with the Greens. The "grand coalition" has stuck with it, but Merkel wants to extend the life of some reactors until more sources of renewable energy can be developed. "The nuclear exit must stay," Steinmeier said. But Merkel said nuclear power should still be used as a "bridging technology" until Germany can shift to renewables. Irish News German Chancellor Angela Merkel, right, arrives for a live television debate against challenger Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Berlin on Sunday. The candidates discussed issues such as tax relief and the creation of a minimum wage. White House shifts focus in debate on health care HEALTH CARE Emphasis goes from public plan to regulation ASSOCIATED PRESS ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal." With that statement, Obama began the difficult task of trying to lubricate negotiations on Capitol Hill, to push opposing lawmakers away from positions — both left and right — that were threatening stalemate. That's what happened when Bill Clinton, the last Democratic president, tried to push through an overhaul in the 1990s. WASHINGTON — The White House and members of Congress on Sunday played down an immediate role for a government health insurance option and turned attention to regulating insurers, with the goal of lowering costs and ensuring coverage regardless of medical condition. Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, drove home that point again on Sunday, focusing on the public option idea to help provide coverage to the estimated 45 million uninsured Americans. Gibbs The president 'prefers the public option. However, he said what's most important is choice and competition," said Gibbs, adding that "it is not all of health care." Sen. Olympia Snowe, the Maine Republican who could be her party's only senator who votes with the Democrats on health care, thinks choice and competition can be ensured without a government plan. "It's not on the table. And it won't be," she said. Snowe said it is "universally opposed" by all GOP senators and "therefore, there's no way to pass a plan that includes the public option. So I think he's recognizing that." Snowe said a better bet for now "as the means for injecting competition" are nonprofit insurance cooperatives, designed to compete with private industry and give consumers more choices. Such co-ops are in place in parts of the country, but their success has been spotty. And Obama will have to be convinced that such a plan can succeed. "I have no interest in having a bill get passed that fails," Obama told CBS"60 Minutes." He said he intends to be president "for a while and once this bill passes, I own it." After a summer taking heat on health care, President Barack Obama has gone back on offense on his top domestic issue, most notably with a prime-time speech to Congress last week. He told the nation that the "time for bickering is over" and a plan for the government to sell insurance in competition with private industry was "only a means to that end and we should remain open to other Dr. Kevin Lenahan Your optometrist. 785. 838.3200 9th & Iowa the spectacle eyewear center www.lenahaneyedoc.com LET ME HELP.

EDITORIAL BOARD Latest moped policy needs reconsideration BICYCLE COACHING A new parking policy has made for many frustrated students and many unanswered questions. While the new moped parking policy is said to be good for the safety of pedestrians, it could potentially discourage students from riding mopeds and from making an environmentally-friendly decision. On Sept. 1, The Kansan reported that the Department of Parking & Transit will be forcing moped drivers to park in certain designated "cycle" areas, starting in Fall 2010. Steven Schrock, chair of the parking commission for the University, said the primary goal for this move was to protect student safety on campus, but acknowledged how students might be discouraged from driving monks in the future. "Clearly that is not our goal," he said. "We want to provide parking for those with mopeds and also be aware of all safety concerns." Schrock said the issue of mopeds possibly being a safety hazard sprung from many recurring complaints that moped drivers were not driving safely near crosswalks and sidewalks. Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO While he understood the mind set of a moped driver, he said the number of mopeds being driven on campus had made parking more of The focus now turns to where the moped drivers will be able to have to park, and how much they will have to pay for permits. The price for a motorcycle permit — $15 per year — will likely be the same price moped drivers will have KANSAN'S OPINION to pay to park on campus. Currently there is no permit for moped drivers. mopeds park in motorcycle parking areas. Schrock said one of the main options being discussed is to have If mopeds and motorcycles were to share parking, Schrock also said some car parking could be taken away to make up for the extra moped parking needed. The task of deciding where parking will end up and how much permits will cost will not be decided until later. "This is part of the reason why this is a two-year plan." Schrock said. "This first year is to just let people know and gauge where the high-demand areas are." The Parking Commission and Department of Parking & Transit should be cautious about how they are resolving this issue. It should be a goal to ensure that all students who want to drive mopeds to campus can do so, but for an affordable price, if any price at all. Furthermore, current parking spaces should be preserved. If the new policy requires too much money to come out of students' pockets or takes away a significant amount of parking spaces, it should be reconsidered. — Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board HEALTH Living healthy requires personal responsibility Amidst all of the controversy surrounding health care reform, it is time to step back and examine the real problems plaguing America. A few issues immediately come to mind: obesity, smoking and extreme stress. Yet despite these all being easy targets, the link behind everything from diabetes to heart disease is not so simple. The difficult issue we face today is even more American than fried chicken and apple pie: It is the great tradition that we, as a society, have of seeking a scapegoat for our problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 75 percent of health care dollars are spent on treatment of "preventable chronic diseases." Based on these numbers, something is undeniably wrong with the condition of America. It is as if the connection between increasing medical bills and personal responsibility was lost somewhere between plowing the family farm and pulling up to the drive-thru window at McDonalds. True, insurance businesses may be guilty of profiting from medical costs. Government expenditures in PURSUIT OF HEALTHEULNESS EMILY MCCOY Just think — the money demanded by insurance companies would be far less if we put down the fries before our arteries needed unclogging. The money spent by the government in providing insurance could be more widely disbursed if those covered didn't have such high demands. The grandmothers might even decide to reduce the butter if they knew we didn't like it so darn much health care may be inefficient. The grandmothers of our country may even be conspiring to make us fat with that extra cup of butter in our biscuits. But, at the end of the day, it is the individual who is the real culprit of poor health. Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto," recently wrote a column in the New York Times pointing out the link between rising health care costs and the cheap, fast and unhealthy foods in demand (and frequently subsidized). He added that, regardless of government action, there would be a problem with health care in America as long as there is a problem with American health. Pollan's point is crucial. He made the significant link between diet, which the individual has complete control over, and overall well-being. Nonetheless, in centering his argument on nutrition, Pollan was guilty of finger pointing. While better eating practices may be (or are) essential to improving health, this focus skirts the deeper issue that refusal to take personal responsibility comes with consequences From democracy to helping a friend in need. America has some great traditions. However, the time has come to let go our national practice of seeking others to blame. So squeeze in that extra hour of sleep.

We couldn't wear spaghetti-strap tank tops or skirts that fell shorter than our fingertips. This seems pretty lax compared with some private schools or schools that require uniforms. But in many high schools, if you violated this policy you could receive detention or a trip to the principal's office. Most girls I knew in my public high school hated the dress code. Instead, what if you were issued a pricey fine — and then publicly beat with a whip? Hussein was charged with "indecent dress" because she was wearing pants in a café in Khartoum, Sudan's capital city. In Sudan, the government imposes laws on the southern part of the country it claims are in line with Islamic law in the Southern part of the country. Female Sudanese journalist Lubna Hussein was arrested in July for wearing trousers in public. It was reported on Sept. 6 by the New York Times that she faced the possibility of "a $100 fine and 40 lashings." Then, on Sept. 8, the Times reported that Hussein was fined $200 but was not sentenced to physical punishment. Hussein was subsequently placed in jail for neglecting to pay the fine. She has recently been released, possibly because a supportive committee may have paid the fine for her. Hussein has become somewhat of an icon for women's rights advocacy and defiance in the face of an oppressive regime. Her refusal to pay the $200 fine demonstrates an unwillingness to give in to unjust laws. Hussein recently quit her job as a public information assistant at the United Nations because she didn't want HUMAN TO HUMAN KELLY COSBY She has already received international recognition and support, and the more attention her case gets, the more pressure the Sudanese government may feel from international actors to relax their policies and harsh punishments. to involve the organization in her case. Not many students who have lived in the United States their entire lives can imagine undergoing a public whipping for merely dressing in a way the government deems inappropriate. A government spokesperson said the ambiguous laws concerning dress were maintained to "protect the people." A better way to protect the people would be to stop the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan instead of meddling in issues of religious practice by arresting women for wearing pants. The reality is that the government isn't doing anything about the Darfur crisis because the government is the perpetrator of the genocide. Instead, the government enforces policies to control women under the guise of Islamic law. While the genocide in Darfur should be the primary concern regarding Sudan, we cannot dismiss the tyrannical laws that may continue to bind the citizens of the country after the genocide ends, if it in fact does.

"But it's too soon to know what the effects are going to be." The University purchases its water from the Lawrence Water Treatment Plant, which treats water from Clinton Lake and the Kansas River. Klamm said the Lawrence Water Treatment Plant didn't test for pharmaceuticals on a regular basis because no Environmental Protection Agency regulations required it to do so. She said she wasn't certain when Lawrence last tested the water for pharmaceuticals. According to the EPA, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, or PPCPs, range from prescription and over-the-counter drugs to lotions and cosmetics. As of 2007, more than 100 PPCPs had been identified in environmental samples and drinking water. Oftentimes, drugs enter the water supply when people flush their unwanted pharmaceuticals. Although the first study of PPCPs in rivers was nearly 30 years ago, it has been only within the past decade that equipment and testing methods have been advanced enough for scientists to detect the drugs, according to officials. Research also has shown that conventional water treatment methods are only moderately successful in completely removing the drugs. Concerns of experts in this field center on long-term, cumulative effects of exposure to a variety of unwanted supplements, which to date remain unknown. With the studies leaving more questions than answers, no standards yet exist to regulate safe levels of exposure to pharmaceuticals in our drinking water. CONCERNS One of the major concerns of pharmaceuticals in drinking water is the cumulative effects of ingesting unintended substances during a long period of time. As Christian Daughton, an EPA scientist and authority on PCPPs in water supplies, said in his 2008 study, "Simultaneous exposure to multiple drugs, each significantly below its individual safe' level, could result in combined action as a result of additive or interactive effects."

Presented By Kathy Richardson, waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor for the Lawrence/Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Facility, said the facility would accept pills only by appointment, made by calling (785)864-3030. She said the facility could not accept controlled or narcotic substances, such as prescription pain killers. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The presence of hormone compounds, such as estrogen, can disrupt metabolism and sexual development in children. "Hormonal compounds have extreme power on our endocrine system at extremely low concentrations," he said. Hormone compounds probably have no effect on adults because they are no longer developing, but there is no research on the subject yet. Mike Meyer, a research geochemist with the Lawrence office of the U.S. Geological Survey, presented a third concern. He said he wondered whether filtering the pharmaceuticals could change their chemical makeup into more hazardous forms. Adams said he still thought drinking tap water was as safe or safer than drinking bottled water. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION ceticals primarily enter the environment one of two ways: throwing pills down the drain and performing bodily functions. "The active ingredients of pharmaceuticals have probably long been present in drinking water ever since pharmaceuticals first came into widespread use." Daughton said in an e-mail. "Their presence is a direct result of their intended use." According to Daughton, pharma- The human body doesn't metabolize medications completely. Studies have shown that up to 90 percent of some oral medicines can pass through the human body unchanged. The primary route is through routine bodily functions, such as urination, and when chemicals wash off our bodies when we bathe. HOW TO DISPOSE OF UNWANTED DRUGS Instead, Watkins Memorial Health Center Chief Pharmacist Cathy Thrasher said pharmaceuticals should be handled as hazardous materials. Unwanted drugs should either be taken to the Watkins Pharmacy or to the City of Lawrence/Douglas County Household Hazards Waste Facility, 711 E. 23rd St. Daughton said the second route PPCPs enter the water system was when people threw their unwanted pills down the drain. Adams said people could focus on preventing pharmaceuticals from ending up in the environment by prescribing correct doses, prescribing medication only when it is needed and properly disposing of pharmaceuticals. According to the EPA, PPCPs stay in the environment, particularly in the water, because the chemicals don't dissolve easily or "evaporate at normal temperatures and pressures." Both facilities accept pills free of charge. WATER FILTRATION SOLUTION PPCPs return to the drinking water because methods used today aren't capable of removing all the compounds, Adams said. He said Suzanne Rudzinski, EPA deputy director for Science and Technology in the Office of Water, said the most effective methods for the removal of pharmaceuticals from drinking water were also the most expensive, reaching potentially billions of dollars in investment. one of the least effective methods in removing pharmaceuticals was by using powdered activated carbon, which is what the Lawrence Water Treatment Plant uses to filter its water. Although that method removes volatile organic compounds such as pesticides and industrial toxins, Adams said, the method is not as successful in removing drugs from the water system. One example she cited was using reverse osmosis to filter water, which could cost millions of dollars for an individual city, according to Bob Mesick, a designer with Remco Engineering, a water treatment system manufacturer out of Ventura, Calif. Klamm said the Lawrence plant was not looking to change its system for the time being. and Mississippi rivers this summer. Adams' study found small amounts, measured in parts per trillion, of several PPCPs, the most prevalent being caffeine, antibiotics and ibuprofen. STUDIES Adams and a team of environmental researchers examined raw and finished drinking water from parts of the Missouri Adams is not the first to discover PPCPs in drinking water. Previous research determined that: OF 20 drinking water facilities, all contained the insect repellant DEET in their raw samples, and 90 percent contained it in their treated samples. More than 65 percent of the treated samples also included anti-anxiety medication, anti-seizure medication, ibuprofen and a radiation-blocking agent, according to a 2007 study by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation. 80 percent of 139 streams in 30 states contained at least one contaminant; 54 percent had more than five contaminants; and 13 percent had more than 20 contaminants, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1999 to 2000. In the meantime, the EPA is developing test methods and determining successful ways to remove the pharmaceuticals from the drinking water. However, these studies determine exposure, not the potential harm that could come from it. And until more is known about the toxicity of exposure levels of these pharmaceuticals recurring in drinking water supplies, Rudzinski said, the EPA would wait to release any formal regulations of the substances. More than half of 20 U.S. drinking water facilities in a 2008 EPA study contained at least three contaminants: 83 percent included an herbicide chemical, 78 percent included an anti-anxiety medication, and 56 percent had an antilepileptic medication.

Onyegbule finished with two sacks in Kansas' 34-7 victory, helping the team continue its undefeated season. Defense carries Kansas to victory BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com In a tunnel separating the locker rooms — in the moments after Kansas' 34-7 Victory at UTEP — two UTEP defensive backs huddled over the box score from the night's game. They looked at it for a minute, shook their heads in frustration and quickly crumpled the sheet of paper into a ball. He wasn't lying. "This is shit." one of the defensive backs said. At the bottom of the Franklin Mountains in UTEP's Sun Bowl Stadium, Kansas' defense demonstrated how, exactly, to contain the spread offense. In the week leading up to Saturday's game, a popular question floated around Kansas' football team: How would the once heavily-criticized secondary fare against UTEP's offense? If statistics are any indication, Kansas didn't struggle much. t Follow Kansan foot ball writer Jayson Jenks at twitter. com/JaysonJenks. The Miners totaled just 204 yards and were held scoreless for three quarters. "Anytime someone talks bad about you, you want to get things fixed and turned around," senior cornerback Justin Thornton said. "That's one thing we're working on." The most appetizing matchup before the game featured UTEP's pass-heavy, potent offense vs. Kansas' secondary. It figured to be a high-scoring game. Instead, it wasn't much of a contest. The Jayhawks not only contained the Miners' offense, they never even let it get going. Perhaps most impressive, though, is the manner in which Kansas played defensively. The defensive line had six sacks and constantly created enough pressure to disrupt UTEPs offense. "It's a good feeling when you're out there, covering guys and you look back and the quarterback is on his back," Thornton said. It was a welcomed relief for a secondary that was often forced to hold coverages for extended periods of time last season. Facing a team capable of scoring plenty of points, Kansas' defense made UTEP's offense look bland. The first-half numbers alone are staggering. Kansas held UTEP to just 32 total yards. Quarterback Trevor Vittatoe, who tossed a schoolrecord 33 touchdowns last season, passed for 52 yards. He was intercepted once by cornerback Justin Thornton. And, somehow, it gets worse. The Miners ran 12 times for 20 yards on the way to accomplishing a rare feat: totaling more penalty yards than total yards in the first half. UTEP finished the game with four rushing yards. "Our defense is very strong here and it usually is," senior running back Jake Sharp said. "We have hard-nosed guys and they had a great game today. I think they really came together and really showed everybody how they can play" To completely attribute the defensive success to UTEP's offensive ineptitude would simply be inaccurate. After all, penalties surely had something to do with it. UTEP totaled 137 penalty yards in the game. But the Jayhawks never allowed Vittato to settle in the pocket, something that had to happen to slow UTEP's pass attack. In return, the secondary shut down — and smacked around — UTEP's talented receiving corps.

Saturday night in El Paso, Texas, defense was the story. Well, it was part of the story. There was also the return from suspension of junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, who finished with eight receptions for 154 yards. There was this group of Jayhawks winning their first road non-conference game. And then there was Jake Sharp, Kansas' senior starting running back. This season it's not a matter of if, but when Sharp will reach quadruple digits on the ground. As for what he adds to Kansas' passing attack, the sky's the limit. It really is that simple after Kansas' 34-7 victory, a game that offered just enough storylines for one to overlook Sharp again. Playing for an offense that has been pass-heavy more times than it wasn't during his career, Sharp has been the force behind Kansas' 2-0 start. Sprinting and twisting to extend 30-yard gains or convert a short pass into a score, Sharp is this team's most valuable player thus far. Sharp eclipsed 100 yards for the second straight time to open the year and for just the fifth time in his career Saturday.

SOCCER Jayhawks finish the Colorado College Invitational without victory BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com It was an up-and-down weekend for the Kansas soccer team, with two closely-contested games and a single, scoreless draw against Colorado College Sunday to show for it. Coach Mark Francis said he was glad the team was able to bounce back from a bad effort on Friday against Denver, which it lost 2-1. He said it had four or five good opportunities to score but that the Colorado College goalkeeper Caitlin Hulyo made a few good saves. But Francis did not think the team deserved to beat Denver, Both Francis and junior defender Lauren Jackson said they thought the team didn't show up against Denver Friday even though they started with the lead. "We fought really hard," Francis said. "We deserved to win the game, to be honest with you." T Kansas scored first after sophomore forward Emily Cressy lofted a shot over Denver goalkeeper Lara Campbell. Junior midfielder Rachel Morris found Cressy open near the Follow Kansan writer Clark Goble at twitter.com/ cgoble89x. top of the box, and she turned and put the layhaws ahead 1-0. But less than three minutes later, Denver scored on a header from Kaitlin Bast to knot the score at one going into halftime. Senior goalie Julie Hanley had six saves in her first two starts of the weekend with three in each gae. Hanley sat out the first four games of the season behind freshman Kat Liebetrau before coming in for the second half of Kansas' 3-1 victory against Rhode Island. Hanley allowed two goals against Denver, but earned the shutout on Sunday against Colorado College GAME NOTES FROM FRIDAY AT DENVER AND SUNDAY AT COLORADO COLLEGE Both teams had their chances in the second half, but it was a Denver free kick from 25 yards out that sealed Kansas' fate. It skipped just to the right of senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley and put Kansas behind for the first time all season. KU 7 9 shoot its opponents in both games over the weekend. The team tallied 16 shots to Denver's 13 on Friday and put up 22 to Colorado College's 13 on Sunday. The Jayhawks have only been outshot once this season, in a 2-1 victory against Pepperdine. Freshman Whitney Berry led the team on Sunday with six shots, including one off the post late in the second half. Kansas continued to out- On Sunday, neither Kansas nor Colorado College could find the net, coming to a scoreless draw after 110 minutes of play. However, Francis said he couldn't fault his team's effort. "We just misjudged it," Francis said. Joel Petterson The Jayhawks furiously tried to even the score, but couldn't avoid their first loss of the season. Freshman forward Whitney Berry dribbles the ball upfield last weekend at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Over the weekend, the team lost to Denver and tied Colorado College 0-0. "After we played so poorly on Friday, I was sort of curious how they would bounce back today," Francis said afterward. "I was proud of them because I thought they really handled it well." Kansas' 22 shots reflected the number of opportunities they had to come out of the weekend with a victory. Freshman forward Whitney Berry led the barrage with six shots. Berry nearly scored twice after breaking free on the far side of the field in the second half. Her first attempt was saved, but the rebound came back to her feet. Her second attempt glanced off the near post. The Jayhawks had chances until the very end. Francis said he thought Jackson scored with around five seconds left to play. He said Jackson's attempt was about "an inch wide." Jackson said she thought the team didn't need to get better in any way, but they needed to improve mentally. "I just think we need to show up for every game" Jackson said. Their record drops to 5-1-1 with the kansas Invitational looming this weekend. They take on San Diego at 5 p.m. Friday.

Kansas football media guide PGA PGA Woods tastes victory at BMW Tournament LEMONT, III. — Tiger Woods has won the BMW Championship for his sixth victory of the year, assuring himself the No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup. A record-breaking 62 at Cog Hill to build a seven-shot lead, Woods played efficiently and didn't let anyone get closer than six shots Sunday. He closed with a 3-under 68 for an eight-shot victory over Jim Furky and Marc Leishman. Woods won for the fifth time at Cog Hill, and it was his 10th time on the PGA Tour winning by at least eight shots. Associated Press MORNING BREW Kansas remains unscathed Todd Reesing was — 10 once in his career — wholly unspectacular Saturday. It was beautiful. No, I'm not saying that Reesing playing "unimpressive" games, as sports editor Stephen Montemayor put it in a text, is a good thing for the Jayhawks in the long run. It would be utterly foolish to assume that. But it must comfort the Jayhawks to know that if Reesing forgets his A game on the team bus, they can still throttle a team like UTEP. Take note, Colorado. And Oklahoma State. And Texas, in the first half. And Kansas State. And Iowa Sta ... never mind. In a week where the Big 12 went from unquestioned second-strongest conference in the country (yes, second, until a Big 12 team can steal the crystal football from the death grip the SEC has on it right now), to a victim of the Sunbelt Conference, Kansas remained unscatched and unworried. Colorado was embarrassed by Toledo, a week after being embarrassed by Colorado State, and all of a sudden the Buffaloes have to win out to make coach Dan Hawkins' BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com 10-victory prediction come true. No. 5 Oklahoma State turned Jekyll and Hyde and fell to a Conference USA team, Houston, in its home at T. Boone Pickens Stadium, where last week it knocked out the Georgia Bulldogs. Texas went on the road to play the worst team in the Mountain West Conference and held just a three-point lead at half time before Colt McCoy remembered he was a good football player. Kansas State dropped a game to the Sunbelt's Louisiana-Lafayette Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the second era of Bill Snyder! At least the Big 12 managed a split against the Sunbelt, as Nebraska thoroughly handled Arkansas State. And Iowa State came in with high hopes of knocking off its in-state rival, Iowa, which needed two blocked field goals in the last five seconds to defeat Northern So when the Jayhawks did exactly what they were supposed to and throttled an inferior team on the road, that made them one of the few in a disappointing week for the conference. Iowa in week one. It was the first time the Jayhawks demonstrated they could silence an offense as potent as the Miners, who were 25th in the nation in scoring offense in 2008. And they silenced them in high style, holding those disturbingly orange jerseys out of the end zone until the fourth quarter on the strength of a Justin Thornton interception, five sacks and 11 tackles for a loss. Though Reesing didn't blow THE MORNING BREW And when Reesing was unable to dominate the Miners through the air — he finished with a respectable but not brilliant 260 yards, one touchdown and one pick — the fresh legs of the Kansas ground game did its part. Freshman Toben Opurum was again solid in extended action, carrying the ball 16 times for 69 yards and a score, but it was senior Jake Sharp's 104 yards and two touchdowns, along with another through the air, that powered the high-voltage Jayhawk offense. anybody out of the water, it was easy to tell how nice it was to have his favorite target back in uniform. After missing the first game because of a suspension, superhuman Dezmion Briscoe hauled down eight catches for nearly half (154) of the Jayhawks' 321 yards through the air. He also was on the receiving end of a 56-yard fake reverse pass from Kerry Meier early in the game, which led to Kansas' first three points of the game. it was beautiful. —Edited by Amanda Thompson t Follow Kansan writer Tim Dwyer at twitter.com/ tdwyer.

"No doubt, many of us in society are not comfortable watching amputees in wheelchairs play sports yet," Rich said in his court papers. "While I do not fault the broadcasters for doing what, at present, they view as commercially viable, the USTA cannot have a policy that has the result of discriminating against these outstanding athletes with He contends that because the major networks covering the tournament — CBS, ESPN and the Tennis Channel — do not cover the wheelchair events, he should be given the rights. Widmaier also said that two years ago, the Tennis Channel aired the wheelchair finals competition live and produced a half-hour highlights show of the tournament. USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said his organization limits filming of matches to the three television companies that have contracts with them. He noted international television companies have separate agreements. "That's our policy," Widmaier said.

The men's team beat Missouri by 29 points Saturday. Sophomore Donny Wasinger finished first for the team and second in the race with a time of 26:05.30. He was followed by sophomore Zach Zarda, sophomore Austin Bussing and senior Bret Imgrund with times of 26:11.20, 26:17.50 and 26:21.7. The women's team came in second — losing by only six points. Lauren Bonds came in first for the team and overall fourth finishing the race in 18:10.8. She was the leader of a pack of runners who spread out over 40 seconds. Junior Amanda Miller finished in 18:22, sophomore Kara Windisch finished in 18:37.5 and sophomore Rebeka Stowe finished in 18:50.8. She said although her team didn't beat Missouri, she still considered it a success. The women's team has been focusing on trying to run as a pack and getting more runners to finish the race closer to Bonds. They did just that in this race. The top four finishers crossed the line only 40 seconds after Bond, compared with over a minute last year. Bonds beat her old time on the course by 49 seconds. Windisch also had a personal record on the 5K.

Nobody stood between him and the end zone. Berkman's leadoff homer in the ninth before earning his 25th save when Hunter Pence grounded into a game-ending double In the time it takes to sprint the length of the field, Stokley ran Denver out of a crushing loss and into franchise lore. His 87-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left on Sunday provided a 12-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, who are going to need a long time to recover from this one. "I've never seen anything like that," Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer said. "I've played football since I was 7 or 8, and I've not seen that." No one had. A half hour after it ended, a Bengals fan in an orange Rey Malaualuga jersey sat alone in the otherwise empty expanse of green seats behind the end zone, staring at the field, trying to comprehend what had just happened. One weird bounce had changed everything. "You know you need a miracle, and that's basically what we got," Stokley said. "When I scored, I just remember it being quiet, and that was a good feeling." Down to desperation, Orton threw a sideline pass that was nearly intercepted. The next play was a throw to the other sideline for Brandon Marshall, who was blanketed. Cornerback Leon Hall cut in front, went up for the ball and tipped it into the air. The Broncos felt sick after Cedric Benson's 1-yard run put the Bengals up 7-6 with 38 seconds left. No one felt worse than quarterback Kyle Orton, whose poor judgment had given the Bengals their chance to pull ahead.

The team participated in the UNCW Collegiate Tennis Invitational in Wilmington, N.C., this weekend. Georgetown, North Carolina State, Furman and host team North Carolina-Wilmington also played in the tournament. "The girls did well for our first tournament and everyone was excited to play." Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "Overall we had a good showing and competed hard." Dzuba, who won the B2 bracket, led the Jayhawks in singles play. After an opening round 6-2, 6-3 victory against Furman University's Brooke Mosteller, Dzuba cruised through her semifinal match against Casey Dashiell of UNCW, winning 6-2, 6-1. She concluded her sweep of the bracket with a 6-1, 5-7, 14-12 defeat of Georgetown's Nora Montgomery in the final round. "It feels really good because I've been working really hard at improving my game." Dzuba said. "It was a great start and I think everyone played really well." Fellow sophomore Erin Wilbert also made a successful run through the tournament, but she fell just short of winning the B1 bracket. Wilbert started her first two matches with victories against Georgetown's Samantha Martin and Furman's Jennifer Betts, winning 6-1, 6-1 and 7-5, 7-5, respectively. Her final round on Sunday proved to be the toughest, ending in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Michele Stanford of Furman. "I thought that I competed well and the girl that I played in the finals competed hard also," Wilbert said. "So it was a good run, and I enjoyed it." Dzuba and Wilbert were the only two Kansas players to advance to the finals, and unfortunately for the Jayhawks, they were also the only ones to make it through the first round. Sophomore Ekaterina Morozova and freshman Sara Lazarevic competed in the A1 bracket, which is usually comprised of a team's top players. Both lost in the first round but garnered victories in their consolation rounds. Senior Kuni Dorn and junior Maria Martinez followed the same path, coming back to win their consolation matches after dropping the first. Dorn competed in the A2 bracket while Martinez represented the B1 along with Wilbert. Martinez dominated in her second match, avenging her first loss with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Georgetown's Alexandra Landers. Rounding out the Jayhawk's lineup were freshman Victoria Khanevskaya and junior Kate Goff. Although the jayhawks played in many of the same brackets, the format of the fall differs the regular season. During the fall, competition is individually-based. In the spring, matches are played head-to-head in a duel style, with the focus on team wins. In the fall setup, players also compete in different brackets, based on their skill level. Because only five teams were represented at the UNCW tournament, doubles play was condensed into one bracket. Two Jayhawk pairs - Dorn/ Martinez and Wilbert/Lazarevic - advanced through their first two rounds. Wilbert and Lazarevic were given a bye through the first round and then defeated Diana Mortlock and Chloe Smith of N.C. State. Dorn and Martinez narrowly escaped their first match in a tiebreaker against Oliva Maurice and Jessica Preeg of Furman, but followed with a decisive 8-2 victory against UNCW's Kayla Schwenk and Christina Riley. They weren't the only layhawks to find success in the doubles bracket, however. Morozova and Khanewskaya defeated the Georgetown tandem of Victoria Sekely and Alex Sebia 8-2, before falling to UNCW's Dashiell and Leblang in a tiebreak. The duo came back in the consolation, and won against Hartley Collins and Christina Lee of UNCW. Morozova and Khanewskaya concluded with an 8-6 victory against the Schwenk and Riley duo from UCNW that Dorn and Martinez beat in the second round. Dzuba and Goff lost their first two doubles rounds to pairs from UNCW and Georgetown Overall, Hall-Holt said she was happy with the team's performance, especially in doubles, but she said there was plenty of room for improvement. "We have more work to do but that just comes with playing a lot of matches." Hall-Holt said. The Jayhawks will take the court again in two weeks when they host a tournament Sept. 25-27 at First Serve in Lawrence. I Senior Kuni Dorn returns a shot during a singles match against UMKC last spring at First Serve Tennis. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN NFL Packers score late to claim victory against rival Bears ASSOCIATED PRESS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers brought the Packers back late in the fourth quarter, heaving a 50-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings with 1:11 remaining to give Green Bay a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears in the season opener Sunday night. Facing third-and-1 at the 50-yard line, Rodgers faked play action and heaved a rainbow of a throw deep to Jennings, who ran in for the go-ahead score. Rodgers found Jennings again for a 2-point conversion. Rodgers finished 17 of 28 for 184 yards for the Packers, and his big throw ruined the debut of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who had a career-worst four interceptions. The Bears lost a big game to their division rivals and lost several key players to injury. Brian Urlacher left with a wrist injury in the third quarter after fellow linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa left in the first half with an injured knee. Backup cornerback Trumaine McBride and tight end Desmond Clark also left with injuries. After throwing three interceptions in the first half, Cutler settled down to lead Chicago to a touchdown and a field goal in the third quarter, giving the Bears a 12-10 lead. But Chicago's head-scratching fake punt attempt early in the fourth quarter gave the ball back to Packers deep in Bears territory, and Mason Crosby hit a 39-yard field goal to give Green Bay a 13-12 lead with 10:10 left. Cutler answered with a drive for a 21-vard field goal by Robbie Gould to give Chicago a 15-13 lead. Rodgers got the ball back at the Green Bay 28 with 2:28 left and quickly drove the Packers to midfield, where he made the decisive throw to Jennings. Rodgers generally had a successful first season as a starter last year, but was criticized by some fans for not coming through in some key late-game situations — although the Packers often were put in bad positions by an inept defense. That wasn't a problem Sunday night as Green Bay got steady pass rush pressure out of its revamped 3-4 alignment under new defensive coordinator Dom Capers, forcing Cutler to scramble out of trouble all night. Cutler made plenty of trouble for himself from there, making poor decisions under pressure. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME SALE housing SALE for sale for sale - jobs announcements . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Colorado's defense couldn't stop Toledo's offense on the ground or in the air, giving up an average of 10 yards per play. Coach Dan Hawkins is facing tough criticism for his fourth 0-2 season start and his "10-wins" goal is looking less and less attainable. Colorado's playmakers were tailback Darrrell Scott, who ran for 85 yards in 12 rushes, and quarterback Cody Hawkins, who threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns. N NEBRASKA (2-0) v. Arkansas State (1-1), 38-9; Zac Lee led the Cornhuskers to victory against the Red Wolves with 340 yards and four touchdowns. This is Nebraska's sixth straight victory and the team scored on five of its first six possessions. Lee made 27 of 35 passes with no interceptions including a 43-yard pass to receiver Curenski Gilleylen. Nebraska's star running back Roy Helu Jr. only had 60 yards on 14 carries. This week's victory offers encouragement for next week's game against Virginia Tech, which beat the Cornhuskers last season. John Stuff IOWA STATE (1-1) v. iowa (2-0), 3-35 turnoverers, fiv v. Iowa (2-0), 3-35: Six turnovers, five interceptions and a botched on-side kick cost Iowa State its first loss to Iowa since 2003. Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud made 10 of 22 passes for 79 yards and had four interceptions. Arnaud was replaced in the third quarter by freshman Jerome Tiller, who added another interception. Running back Alexander Robinson fumbled the ball early in the third quarter, which eventually led to another touchdown for Iowa. All and all, it was a bad day for Iowa State on offense, and after the first quarter, the defense didn't really step up to stop Iowa. STATE OKLAHOMA STATE (1-1) v. Houston v. Houston (2-0). 35-45; Houston upset No. 5 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., on Saturday. After coming off one of the biggest season opening games in history for the Cowboys, they couldn't stop the Cougar quarterback Case Keenum from throwing 366 yards and three touchdowns. With a couple of bad plays, including a fumbled snap and an interception by Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson, Houston sealed its victory. Running back Kendall Hunter, who was one of the Cowboys' best rushers, didn't play in the second half of the game because of an apparent leg injury. TEXAS (2-0) (1) at Wyoming (1-1), 41-10: The first half but still managed to come out on top in Laramie, Wyo., on Saturday. It seemed like Texas wasn't in the game for most of the first half, as Wyoming led 10-6. Quarterback Colt McCoy finally got the offense rolling, making it 13-10 before the half, and didn't stop for the rest of the game. McCoy completed 30 of 47 passes, which was a little disparaging for the nation's most accurate quarterback last year. The Longhorn defense held the Cowboys out of the end zone-for most of the game, only allowing 3 of 17 third-down conversions. T v. Rice (0-2), 55-10: Texas Tech beat Rice's numbers in just about TEXAS TECH (2-0) every category. Tech finished with 560 yards, 456 of which were from quarterback Taylor Potts on his seven touchdown passes against Rice. Tech had two receivers, Lyle Leong and Tramain Swindell, who had more than 100 yards receiving for the game, with 117 and 123 yards, respectively. Rice went through three quarterbacks and took six sacks from Tech's defense, only gaining 257 yards in the game. Tech receiver Detron Lewis went out with an injured leg in the third quarter, but the team still managed to shut down Rice without him. 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS houston quarterback Case Keenum dives for the goal line during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Kalifornia State in Stillwater, Oka., on Saturday.

Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas had 139 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to give Kansas State the lead with 15-14. The Wildcat defense played okay in the second half, only giving up the game-winning three points on the field goal. The slow start for the Wildcats and the imbalance of offensive and defensive efforts kept them from beating the Ragin' Cajuns. MISSOURI (2-0) v. Bowling Green (1-1). 27-20. OU Missouri won its first home game of the season but sloppy playing and a slow start had the Tigers dragging until the third quarter. Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert had 163 yards and two touchdowns, a lot less impressive than last week. Tailback Derrick Washington had 23 carries for 120 yards and rushed for a one-yard touchdown against Bowling Green. This was Missouri's 12th straight non-conference victory, but it let Bowling Green control the pace for most of the game. OKLAHOMA (1-1) OKLAHOMA (1-1) v.

Wide receiver Ryan Broyles and running back Demarco Murray each put up multiple touchdowns from Jones.

After the game, junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe walked down a concrete ramp with a simple, yet surprising, idea. Even though the Jayhawks piled up 576 yards on offense, they didn't play well. "We shouldn't have let that happen," coach Mark Mangino said. "But it's hard to complain. We were really stellar on defense tonight." In a way, he had a point. Kansas' offense played well enough to leave El Paso, Texas, with a victory. But the Jayhawks weren't exceptionally crisp, at least not by their own high standards. "We left a couple points, a lot of points, on the field," said Briscoe, who played in his first game after being suspended for the season opener. "For us to have a bad day on offense and still score 34 points, I feel like that's good." "If you look at pass numbers and when we put up that much total offense, we usually capitalize and put more points on the board," Sharp said. "But we put up enough points to win the game." Sharp, who rushed for 104 yards, had a slightly different take. With most of its nucleus returning this season, the offense and its skill players saw plenty of the spotlight this offseason. They've been on magazine and newspaper covers and are the largest reason for optimism in Lawrence. But the real story from Saturday's game — the one players and Mangino highlighted most — was the play of Kansas' unit on the other side of the ball: the defense. "We get a whole bunch of media attention as far as our offense," Briscoe said. "But our defense really stepped up today." Edited by Amanda Thompson 46 Weston White/KANSAN Senior cornerback Justin Thornton tackles a UTEP receiver Saturday evening in El Paso, Texas. Kansas held the Miners to four rushing yards on 20 carries. 26 Senior cornerback Justin Thornton pulls dow Playmaker Patterson moves past sh BY HALLIE MANN The highlight of the night for Patterson was when he made a 49-yard punt return for Kansas in the third quarter. Patterson said the blockers opened up the middle for him and he ran straight through. Even after his foot was hit and he stumbled, he still managed the longest return of the game for Kansas. Patterson said he didn't know the return was going to be so big. hmhifi@kansasan.com The Kansas defense had an impressive game against UTEP on Saturday night, but special teams wavered a bit in its performance from last week. Daymond Patterson, who plays cornerback and does punt returns, made plays at both positions in Kansas' 34-10 victory against UTEP. "It's really about how the punters punt and how we block." Patterson said. "You just never know." Patterson's biggest defensive play was his interception made with cornerback Justin Thornton. UTEP quarterback Trevor Vortor toe slightly overthrew UTEP wide receiver Jeff Moturi and Patterson swooped in for the catch. Patterson said he caught sight of Justin Thornton behind him so he tipped the ball away from Moturi's hands and into Thornton's. The play resulted in a turnover, which led to Kansas' second touchdown. Patterson had a total of six punt returns for 69 yards. In the first quarter, Patterson returned a punt to start Kansas' second drive with a penalty, came up with 3-yards. At the start of the second quarter, Patterson made a one-yard return and ended with an eight-yard return. In the fourth quarter he had another return that lost vards. After the game, coach Mark Mangino said he wasn't happy that Patterson, who was worked up at the game's beginning, had missed a couple of balls on returns. The missed balls resulted in some short or negative yardage for Kansas early in the game. After being talked down by the coaches, Patterson smoothed out a bit and made his 49-yard return. Despite his ups and downs on the returns, Patterson had six tackles. On UTEP's first drive, Patterson made two tackles and helped Kansas' defense stop UTEP from scoring. In the second quarter, Patterson and linebacker Drew Dudley tackled Miner running back Donald Buckram for a loss of one yard. Patterson made two more tackles in the third and one in the fourth. "We can't let balls hit the ground; we just can't do that," Mangino said. T Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/halliemann11. Overall, Kansas' defense only allowed 208 yards from UTEP. With six sacks for a loss of 29 yards, the Jayhawks had an impressive performance. The special teams struggled as two of the kickers were roughed by the Miner defense and had an average of only eight yards on kickoff returns. Whichever side of the ball Patterson was on, he made plays and said he knew there was room for improvement. "I'm pretty happy, but I know I didn't play a perfect game," Patterson said. "This was probably one of our better games of pressure on defense," Patterson said. MISSISSIPPI Edited by Brenna M. T.

Senior quarterback Todd Reesing attempted twice as many passes against UTEP than he did the week before. He was surprisingly less effective than usual, attempting several ill-conceived throws and getting picked off once. He'll be there when nobody else is open. He'll get you that burst you needed for a first down. He'll make you say, "Wow." No matter. So long as this team has a healthy Sharp, even Reesing can be afforded a rare off day. Edited by Amanda Thompson Quote of the Game On the status of kicker Jacob Branstetter... "Branstetter got the crap knocked out of him. I'm not sure he's in this universe with us right now. I looked in his eyes after that last attempt and he didn't look like he was in El Paso." --- Mangino Game Balls 3. Dezmon Briscoe: Briscoe wasn't always sharp — he stepped out of bounds at Kansas' three-yard line after receiving the second half's opening kickoff. But he still significantly improved the offense: he caught eight passes for 154 yards. 2. Jake Sharp: Once again, Sharp turned in a solid performance. He rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. It's to be expected, but it's still a good sign for Kansas' offense. 1. Kansas'defense: Penalties didn't help UTEP's cause. But Kansas' defense never allowed UTEP's offense to get going. The Miners totaled just 32 yards in the first half. Delay of Games 3. Dezmon Briscoe: In his first game this season, Briscoe played well despite dropping a couple of passes he usually catches and also stepping out of bounds at Kansas' three-yard line after receiving a kickoff 2. Todd Reesing: Reesing wasn't bad; he just wasn't Reesing-like. He missed open receivers throughout the game, was flagged for an intentional grounding and threw an interception deep in UTEP territory. 1. Jacob Branstetter: Branstetter missed a 38-yard field goal as the first half expired. He then missed a 33-yard field goal. Coach Mark Mangino said Branstetter was woozy during the game, but those are kicks he still has to make. On Kansas' second offensive play of the game, quarterback Todd Play of the Game Reeing flipped the ball to wide receiver Kerry Meier deep in the backfield. With UTEP's defense focusing on the trickery behind the line of scrimmage, Meier floated a pass to wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe for 56 yards. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY... Kansas' defense looked impressive against a team that scored almost 33 points per game last season. The defensive line finished with six sacks, the secondary recorded one interception, and the Jayhawks simply didn't allow the Miners to move the ball effectively. UTEP's offense scored just 17 points against a Buffalo team that allowed 54 points to Pittsburgh this week. Maybe the Miners' offense isn't as high-powered as originally thought. LINEBACKER SITUATION... Coach Mark Mangino continued to rely on senior Arist Wright and junior Drew Dudley at the two linebacker positions. Against spread-heavy offenses, those two will see most of the playing time. Freshman Huldon Tharp once again rotated heavily. D-LINE DOING ITS JOB? This was exactly the type of performance needed from Kansas' defensive line. The line finished with six sacks and never allowed UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittate to fully settle in the pocket. That noticeably affected his pass attempts. In his first game, Dezmon Briscoe showed that he hasn't lost a step. Briscoe caught eight passes for 154 yards on Saturday. He made some mistakes but he still was Kansas's biggest playmaker against UTEP. BIGGEST ANSWER... STILL QUESTIONING... How good UTEP's offense really is. Sure, the Jayhawks looked impressive in holding the Miners to seven points. But penalties hindered any chance for UTEP to move the ball. LOOKING AHEAD... After trailing early in the game, Duke rallied past Army for a 35-19 victory on Saturday. Still, it's we're talking about football: Duke lost to Richmond in the season opener. The Jayhawks shouldn't have a problem with the Blue Devils at home. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Original prediction: Kansas 38-17. Actual score: 34-7. UTEP's offense wasn't nearly as good as expected. The Miners committed penalty after penalty and they never managed to get in a flow. Again, like last week, I'm going to grade my prediction as so-so. FINAL THOUGHT... While Kansas' offense scored 34 points, Todd Reesing and company were relatively average. It's a good sign the Jayhawks still walked away with a relatively easy road victory. The defense — and especially the defensive line — looked impressive. Edited by Brenna M. T.

The U.S. won the tournament this year for the third time in a row. United States finishes first at Walker Cup tournament ASSOCIATED PRESS ARDMORE, Pa. — The United States won its third straight Walker Cup on Sunday, taking five singles matches and halving another for a $16\frac{1}{2}-9\frac{1}{2}$ victory over Great Britain and Ireland at Merion Golf Club. Americans Ricky Fowler and Peter Uihlein won all four of their weekend matches, and Cameron Tringale won in an 8-and-6 romp in the third-largest winning margin by a U.S. player in singles. Fowler's victory punctuated a solid amateur career. Tringale's victory ensured the U.S. would retain the title, and Uhlein's 3-and-1 victory over Stiggy Hodgson won it outright. The U.S. team's margin of victory was the largest since an 18-6 win in 1997, at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y. The Americans lead the series 34-7-1. The U.S. team needed two points in the Sunday singles to retain the cup and $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to win the championship after going 3-1 in the morning's alternate-shot matches that provided an 11-5 advantage. Bud Cauley halved his singles with Chris Paisley and finished 3-0-1 for the U.S., which also got individual wins from Morgan Hoffmann and Brendan Gielow. George "Buddy" Marucci Jr., a Merion member, won his second straight title as U.S. captain. The 2008 U.S. Senior Amateur champion was a two-time Walker Cup player, in 1995 and 1997. Scotland's Gavin Dear, in the first singles pairing, tried to kick-start a GB&I comeback, posting a 3-and-2 victory over Brian Harman. "I like going out early, I feel as though I can go up," Dear said. "If the guys see that score, maybe it could give them some kind of incentive or a bit of confidence." But the six-point deficit after the morning session proved too big an obstacle to overcome for the GB81 under captain Colin Dalgleish, who dropped his second in a row. Sam Hutsby, Tommy Fleetwood and Niall Kearney supplied GB&sl's other singles wins. Fowler and Uhilen, teammates at Oklahoma State along with Hoffmann, starred for the U.S. squad. Delaying turning pro until after his second straight Walker Cup. Fowler played the 18th hole just once, Sunday morning when he and Cauley prevailed 1-up. The 20-year-old from Murrieta, Calif., closed out his amateur career on the 17th hole and got a hearty handshake and hug from Marucci. He finished with a 7-1 Walker Cup record, unbeaten in four foursomes, and 3-1 in singles. "I don't think anybody has played for the U.S. team in the Walker Cup the way Rickie has," Marucci said. The 20-year-old Uihlein, from Orlando, Fla., was one of the last two picks to the 10-man team.

Bechard also said the team gained some momentum from the victories. "We gained some confidence that we are always going to be in the match." Bechard said.

Wesley Hitt/UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS Davies' arm powers Royals to victory against Indians ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Once the calendar turns to September, Kyle Davies turns into an ace. Angeles Angels on Monday. The right-hander carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and won his fourth straight start, pitching the Kansas City Royals to a 7-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. Davies (8-9) held the Indians hitless until Shin-Soo Choo's lead-off single to center in the sixth. He walked six and struck out three over six innings in his second straight wild start. He walked six and gave up five hits and one run over five innings in a 6-3 win over the Los "He had a very good changeup," Choo said. "And he threw enough strikes to get big outs. I hit a curve, but he was pretty good." Davies is 3-0 in September. A year ago, he went 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA after Sept. 1. But he struggled early this season and was sent back to the minors after going 1-6 in seven starts between May 16 and June 19 that dropped his record to 3-7. "I know I can win in September," he said. "Right now, it's like I am going to do it — not, are you going to?" Davies said he worked the kinks out of his delivery while going 4-2 with a 2.14 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Omaha before being recalled Aug. 5. "It's really about mechanics for me," Davies said. "I don't have a lot of movement on my pitches, so I've got to stay in rhythm and keep the ball down. I've been a little lucky, too. I can't keep walking guys." Davies improved to 4-3 with a 2.66 ERA on the road. He is 4-6 with an 8.92 ERA in 11 home starts. The 26-year-old thought it could be a special day after first baseman Billy Butler made two fine plays on sharp grounders by Cleveland's first two batters. "That second one hit the bag and went straight left, but he got it with his bare hand," Davies said. "I don't know how. He made another good play the next inning, then caught a popup in the sun. I had no idea where it was. Four good plays in two innings helps." Matt LaPorta lined a two-out single off reliever Carlos Rosa in the ninth for Cleveland's only other hit. Three of the Royals' eight shutouts this season have been at Progressive Field. The last time the Indians were blanked three times at home by the same team in a season was by the 1971 Baltimore Orioles. John Buck and Butler each had "I've got to stay in rhythm and keep the ball down. I've been a little lucky, too. I can't keep walking." and Butler each had two RBIs in the Royals' sixth win in seven games. Kansas City took two of three from the Indians, losers of 10 of 13, for only its second road series win since May. "We had our hitting shoes on again and gave Kyle some breathing room." Royals bench coach John Gibbons said. "Take away the walks and he's on quite a roll." Gibbons spoke in place of manager Trey Hillman, who left immediately after the game to attend to a personal matter. Buck put the Royals ahead 1-0 in the third with his sixth homer, an opposite-field shot to right off Carlos Carrasco (0-2). Two errors helped make it 3-0 in the fourth. Willie Bloomquist hit a leadoff double. Carrasco, who had picked Bloomquist off first base following a first-inning single, this time threw the ball into center field on a pickoff try, sending the runner to third. Bloomquist scored on a groundout by Butler. C 1. Bring your talent 2. Bring your best self 3. Bring your résumé 4.

Long known for their punishing defense and relentless ground game, the Ravens went airborne to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 38-24 on Sunday. Joe Flacco went 26 for 43 for 307 yards and three touchdowns, all career highs. He was the focal point of an attack that amassed a franchise-record 501 yards and helped ruin the NFL head coaching debut of Todd Haley. Now in his second season, Flacco threw as many as 30 passes in only four games last year — each time in a losing case. Given the opportunity from the outset to throw the ball instead of handing it off, Flacco couldn't contain his delight. "It's awesome. It's so much fun," he said. "As a quarterback, that's what you want to do." It may not have been an isolated opportunity, either. helps us win games," coach John Harbaugh said. "I think that we will be capable of throwing the ball more ways than we did last year. We have really good players that can make plays." Such as Mark Clayton, who had five catches for 77 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown grab with 2:06 left that gave Baltimore a 31-24 lead. Willis McGahee scored from the 1 with 31 seconds remaining to clinch it. "We're going to throw more if it Another surprising aspect of the game was Kansas City's ability to keep it close despite playing without Matt Cassel, whose sprained left knee did not heal enough to enable him to make his Chiefs debut. That left the quarterbacking responsibilities to Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen, who entered with a collective 1-18 record as NFL starters. The Chiefs didn't get their initial first down until deep into the second quarter, but used a blocked punt and a long interception return to keep it close until their offense finally got rolling. and went 16 for 24 for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Asked to assess his performance, Croyle said, "Play well, don't play well — if you don't win, you still have the same feeling and that's where I'm at." Haley added: "I thought Brodie Croyle gave us a chance to win today and that's all I'll ever ask my quarterback to do." B 20 Croyle played all but one series Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and Ed Reed tackle Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens won 38-24. Though the Ravens are known primarily for their strong defense and rushing, their passing game played a major role in the game, with quarterback Joe Flacco throwing for 307 yards and three touchdowns. Larry Johnson, the last player to run for 100 yards against the Ravens (in December 2006), finished with 20 wards on 11 carries. That, and the Ravens' air show, contributed to Baltimore nearly doubling Kansas City's time of possession. ASSOCIATED PRES "I got to give credit to Baltimore. They were a throwing machine today," Haley said. "They threw the ball probably a lot more than we anticipated." The Chiefs won't contain neither Clayton nor tight end Todd Heap, who had five catches for 74 vards. He made four first downs, scored a touchdown and relished being part of an offense that seemingly moved at will.

Elise Higgins, Topeka senior and president of the Commission on the Status of Women, said she strongly disagreed with the given markers to write any comments or reactions to the panels.

Lee said the issue of abortion paralleled the American civil rights movement of the late 1960s.

Associated Press Who's Who at KU Paul Lim BY SABRINA LIEDTKE sliedtke@kansan.com M. BARRY Alternative Theatre, E.A.T., has performed more than 50 full productions and 100 staged readings. Students have written more than half of these plays. In 1990, Professor Lim got the green light to start a club in which students would have an opportunity to write and perform their own plays. Since its start, the English Lim first came to the University in January of 1969 to complete his Bachelor of Arts in English. He went on to earn his master's at the University and has been teaching full time in the department of English for 20 years. "The script for a play is essentially just a skeleton," Lim said. "You really need to flesh it out with actors, scene designers, costume designs, so it's always quite fascinating to see the student watching their plays being fleshed out on the stage and then ultimately to have the students watching other people watching their plays." For some, four years at a university may seem like an eternity. But for Professor Paul Lim, more than 10 times that amount at the University of Kansas has come and gone in the blink of an eye. Lim's main love, however, is the theater. As a student in 1975, he wrote his first play, "Conpersonas", which was produced by University Theatre and won the KCACTF National Student Playwriting Award. Lim often finds inspiration for his work from real life. Paul Lim is an English professor at KU. Lim first came to KU as a student in 1969. He is also the founder of English Alternative Theater. Lim's inspiration for E.A.T. came from his own background as a playwright. His other creative outlets include watching movies, Lim owns over 7,000 titles, and blogging nearly every day. One of Lim's blogs is "Witty at Any Speed," where he cites one of his favorite bumper stickers as saying: "My son can beat up your honor student!" "I love listening to people's stories and I am just fascinated by how other people live and what stories they have to tell." Lim said. "So when I hear these stories I file them away mentally or sometimes jot them down. I hope to one day put all of them down on a Web site." Though he continues to write, Lim takes the most pleasure from watching his students. "My most rewarding experience has been to put on the stage the plays that are being written by my students and to watch theses plays take shape and come alive," Lim said. - Edited by Abby Olcese CONTACT US Did you know there is a student club for robotics enthusiasts called Rock 'Em Chalk 'Em Robots?

"She said she would get all As." Her mother said Mirsepasi was pursuing a degree in journalism because she thought the media was filled with biased reporting. According to her mother, Mirsepasi decided she also wanted to pursue a law degree after a car accident in 2007. While recovering from a broken femur, Mirsepasi watched countless hours of court TV shows. "After the accident, she got excited about law," her mother said. "I think it was all the Judge Judy and People's Court she watched." Fulton said that because Mirsepasi was an only child, she highly valued both her family and friends. She said Mirsepasi called or texted her parents every day, and was a reliable friend. "She always wanted to have fun. I don't remember her ever being negative." JUSTINE LIESE Overland Park senior "She was pretty much a sister to me," Fulton said. I she knew something was strange when Mirsepasi didn't immediately answer a text she sent on Sunday, the night Mirsepasi suffered the aneurysm. She said that the two had made plans for the night and that Mirsepasi always responded to her texts Fulton said she knew something "She had just updated her Facebook saying what a great game day she had on Saturday," Fulton said. "When she didn't text back I knew something was wrong." quickly. Fulton said the two had spent most of the weekend together before Mirsepasi collapsed at her parents' home in Olathe on Sept. 6. The two ate lunch together at Milton's Cafe in Lawrence less than three hours before she collapsed. "She was in such a good mood," Fulton said. "Nobody could have seen this coming." Justine Liese, Overland Park senior, said she had been friends with Mirsepasi since Mirsepasi came to the University last year. Liese saw Mirsepati that Sunday and had made plans to study with her. "She always wanted to have fun," Liese said. "I don't remember her ever being negative." Liese recalled her friend's signature positive attitude. HEALTH Edited by Abby Olcese HEALTH Annual breast cancer fundraiser begins today Salon Hawk and Sun of a Beach Tanning, located in the Kansas Union, are kicking off their third annual breast cancer awareness fundraiser today. Emily Willis, owner of Salon Hawk and Sun of a Beach, began the fundraiser two years ago after a close friend found a lump on her breast. Lower Saucon Township police allege that 29-year-old Timothy Peare, of Whitehouse Station, N.J., was spotted at 7:40 p.m. Sunday inside a tow truck at Saucon Collision, which was closed. "At the time, there was nothing for girls our age, so we began doing the pink hair extensions," Willis said. "After that we began to get more involved and now it's taken on a life of its own." This year, Willis said the goal was to raise at least $10,000 by the end of October. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center. To reach the goal, they are accepting donations, selling T-shirts for $20 and selling pink hair extensions for $10. Police say he acknowledged that he was trying to start the truck to remove his vehicle. A fishing boat sails to catch whales off Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan. The Japanese town, which is chronicled in the award-winning film "The Cove" for its dolphin hunt, will free much of the season's first catch, following an international outcry over the annual slaughter The salon is also collecting used bras from students and faculty through the duration of the fundraiser. On Oct. 15, the bras will be strung across the Kansas River as a "public display of activism." "It's a fun cause." Willis said. "It really raises awareness and brings the student body together." BETHELHEM, Pa. — Police in eastern Pennsylvania said a man charged with drunken driving faces more charges after allegedly trying to steal a tow truck a few hours later to retrieve his impounded vehicle. THE TRAVELLER ABORTION (CONTINUED FROM 1A) But Stacey Burton, Overland Park graduate student and member of the Commission on the Status of Women, said she did not think the anti-abortion display told the whole story. "It's explicitly one-tracked," she said. "It's very scary. Scaring people into making decisions doesn't help them make the right decisions." Joe Haschke, senior from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, came with Justice for All to help set up the display. He said he thought the group was concerned for the women who made decisions about abortion. CRIME Drunk driver tries to steal tow truck to retrieve car Haschke said he hoped people could discuss their opinions in a civil manner and said nothing was accomplished when people yelled at each other. "Mostly what I'm asking you to do is think about it," he said. "We're 100 percent about women's rights," he said. "The debates center around the baby, but people often forget about the women who are injured in abortion." ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press INTERNATIONAL Film exposes brutal dolphin hunting TOKYO — A Japanese fishing town that holds a well-known annual hunt to kill and sell dolphins for meat has released 70 of the animals from its first catch of the season following an international outcry, a conservationist group said Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS The outcry has been growing against the hunt in Taiji, western Japan, since an award-winning American documentary "The Cove" this year showed dolphins being herded into an inlet and killed by fishermen with spears. The Save Japan Dolphins Coalition, led by Rie O'Barry, the dolphin trainer for the 1960s "Flipper" TV series, said Tuesday that group representatives witnessed and filmed 70 bottlenose dolphins — the same kind as Flipper — being released Sunday. Taiji and its fishing association declined comment. The hunt kills about 2,000 dolphins a year, and residents say it is part of their tradition and a way of getting food The released dolphins were part of a catch of about 100 on Sept. 9. The Taji fishing association had said it would sell about half to aquariums and set the rest free. The town has said it is unclear if it will continue to release dolphins. "The world is watching," said O'Barry, who visited Taiji earlier this month. "Stopping the slaughter and sale of dolphins would be a major victory for the people of Japan." He said dolphin meat was con taminated with dangerous level of mercury. The Japanese government has issued warnings about pregnant women eating dolphin meat, but says it is safe in small quantities. Taiji fishermen on Sept. 9 also caught 50 pilot whales, which were killed and sold as meat. David Phillips, director of the Earth Island Institute, a California-based environmental group, said a member is in Japan to watch whether Tajiji kills any dolphins. "We will expand vigilance in Taiji and bring greater world attention to ensure that the dolphins are released and that the slaughter does not resume," he said. "The Cove" has won more than a dozen awards, including the audience award at the Sundance Film Festival.

TECHNICOLOR EYES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009 CELEBRITY Elton John to attempt adoption BY GREGORY KATZ Associated Press LONDON — Look out Madonna and Angelina Jolie — pop star LONDON—L and Angelina Jolie Elton John may be joining the ranks of A-list celebrities with adopted children. John and long-time partner David Furnish are interested in trying to adopt a Ukrainian toddler named Lev they met during an orphanage tour there. but that he was reluctant until he met Lev at an orphanage where many of the children's parents have died from AIDS. The singer told reporters in Ukraine on Saturday that Furnish has long wanted to adopt a child "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," John said. "What better opportunity to replace someone I lost than to replace him with someone I can give a future to." "But having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And ELTON JOHN Entertainer John and Furnish, 46, toured the orphanage — where John performed for the children — as part of his Elton John's AIDS Foundation work. Ukraine has one of the fastest rising rates of HIV infection in Europe. He acknowledged bureaucratic hurdles may make adoption of a Ukrainian child impossible. he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today." "It broke my heart because he was such a genius and so young and has two wonderful children," John said. "What better opportunity to replace someone I lost than to replace him with someone I can give a future to." John said he was motivated in part by the sudden death last week of one of his closest friends, keyboardist Guy Babylon. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Unfortunately, the practice of teachers banning or limiting laptops in lecture halls is becoming more common. This is an unfair rule that harms the many students who learn more efficiently using a laptop to take notes. Those glasses... They magnify your soul! EDITORIAL BOARD Technology in classrooms promotes better learning Q BUS STOP KANSAN FILE PHOTO Using a laptop in tecture classes is just one way students at the University are "I'm against laptop bans," Joshua Walton, Olathe senior, said. "My laptop is where I take all of my notes. Since I invested in a laptop it's nice to not have to buy note-books every semester." Walton is not alone in his views. Students in nearly every lecture class use their laptops to take notes. The advantages are numerous: quicker note taking, better organization, instant editing and spell check. It's also environmentally friendly and less to carry in a backpack. The choice of whether to use a laptop in a given class should be left up to the student, unless there are except circumstances that would n them a hindrance. Barton Guner, Gardner, Kan. junior, said that laptops had always been banned in her POLS 150 class. Outright bans prevent those students who take better notes on laptops from doing their best. With a campus covered in wireless Internet, it's hard not to think the University is encouraging students to use laptops. there are legitimate reasons for not allowing students to use laptops. Some art classes use a projector that requires a darkened room, and the light from a laptop can make it hard to see the screen. Some chemistry lectures are just not conducive to note taking on a laptop. KANSAN'S OPINION However, for some classes. There is no way students could draw complex chemical structures on their laptop" David Benson, associate professor of chemistry, said. "I assume they're doing something else if they're on a laptop." It is up to students to use their laptops responsibly. Distracting nearby students by playing games, videos, or in a disturbing worst-case scenario, watching pornography, are exceedingly immature and disrespectful things to do to fellow students. This is part of what gives many professors the cause to ban laptops in the first place. Benson, however, will allow students to use a laptop if they can show him a way to take sufficient notes. "Other students complain that it's distracting to them," Antha Cotten-Sprekelmeyer of the Humanities and Western Civilizations department said, a sentiment repeated by a variety of professors. Students who must entertain themselves during a lecture should take seats in the back rows to avoid bothering students sitting behind them, a compromise more professors should try before out right banning laptops. If this was the policy, it would be harming only the students who choose not to pay attention. Laptops are a useful tool that professors should be willing to work with. They can be used for learning or distraction, but alone are not what causes a problem. Professors should give students the benefit of the doubt when it comes to using laptops in class before instituting bans harmful to the learning of their dedicated students. EDITORIAL CARTOON — Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board Bob had been on an all-bacon diet ever since he heard about the fabulous benefits reaped by students lucky enough to obtain the legendary "swine flu." So far, his efforts had been in vain. --- KU JAMES FARMER POLITICS The incredible shrinking presidency When the most powerful man in the world is complaining about what was posted on the ex-governor of Alaska's Facebook page, you know he is in trouble. Here was the President of the United States, standing in front of a Congress in which he needs no votes from Republicans to pass his legislation, whose poll numbers are dropping faster than any president (save Ford, after pardoning Nixon) in history and who has nothing new to offer in his effort to promote a bill which hasn't even been written. As I was watching President Obama give his 29th speech on health care last Wednesday, this time in prime time to a joint session of Congress, it dawned on me that I was witnessing a spectacular political failure. He might still be sending thrills up Chris Mathews' leg, but that feeling is long gone in mainstream America. His call for a joint session of Congress in order to promote his political goal was a display of great weakness. How has this dazzling unifier that transcended "politics as usual" fallen from grace? THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON First, Obama's magical rhetoric has finally met its match — substance. It has never been about substance with Obama, rather illusory and intangible "hope" and "channe" The President is so confident in his ability to persuade that he continues to push legislation that is rejected by simple common sense. For example, he claims that this new massive government program will not add to the deficit. Mr. President, Americans are smarter than that. They see Medicare broke, Medicaid broke, Social Security broke, the Post Office broke, Amtrak broke, Cash for Clunkers broke and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae broke, Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Our government can't even run a railroad! Obama also says his plan will insure millions of uninsured Americans without resulting in long lines or rationed care. How can you treat 50 million more patients with no extra doctors when there is already a shortage? This question remains unanswered This question remains unanswered. Second, his reaction to resistance has been remarkably arrogant. The Democratic Party and the mainstream media that were in a frenzy during the Bush war glamorizing Iraq war protesters and mercilessly attacking President Bush, now seek a tranquil political atmosphere. President Obama has caused an end to the name-calling. But it is his own party that demeans Americans who raise questions. Nancy Pelosi has compared them to Nazis. Harry Reid calls them "evil mongers." His own White House calls them "an unruly mob." If he is serious about the name-calling, he ought to look inward. President Obama has become ordinary. It remains to be seen whether or not a man like Obama, who holds himself in extreme self-regard, will be able to adapt to being a mere mortal. This presidency is failing, but it is far from over. Obama can save himself if he stops belitling his fellow Americans and begins to pay heir to his own call for bi-partisanship. That is the right idea. Compton is a Wichita senior in political science. Fall fashion advice Here in Kansas the seasons don't like to make smooth transitions. As we saw last week, one day it's sweltering hot, and the next it's in the lower 60s. While the weather tries to decide if its summer or fall, it's good time to prepare your wardrobe for the cooler months. WHAT TO KEEP Keep pieces that are season neutral. Clothes that are darker colors or simpler; muted prints can transition from season to season. If you have dresses or tops that fit the fall color pallet but are more of a bare, warm-weather style, consider using them for your fall wardrobe to layer with leggings, tights, long sleeved shirts or sweaters. Keep in mind that accessories can define an outfit's season. A dress with sandals and a straw hat is for the beach, but wearing that same dress with dark tights, riding boots and a blazer creates a gorgeous fall look. Using accessories to make summer clothes wearable in the fall will save you money and allow you to get more use out of your favorite clothes. SHOPPING END OF SUMMER SALES Summer styles get cheaper and cheaper as stores start to make room for new fall and winter lines. No matter how good the deal is, though, if you can only wear the piece for a few more weeks, your money would most likely be better spent on in season pieces. If you find something that screams, "take me to the beach," but you love it anyway, consider buying it and saving it for next summer. Just remember to first ask yourself, "will this be in style a year from now?" Summer classics are a smart sale purchase, but if the piece has a trendy silhouette, print or color, it probably won't be in next season. THE HEMLINE ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO ESPOSITO you will have wasted your money. INVEST IN STAPLE PIECES Things like a nice, dark pair of jeans or a timeless, black cocktail dress will always be in style, no matter the season. A true staple piece can be worn for years, and should be simple enough to be styled in many ways so you can wear it multiple times without anyone knowing. When investing in staple pieces, make sure they are high quality and have good fit. You may have to spend a little extra, but investing in a classic staple piece means you'll save money re-wearing them later rather than having to buy new trend pieces every season. In tough economic times — and with our limited college closet space — it's important to have some pieces that you know you can always turn to. Remember, no matter what season it is, it's good fashion practice to dress weather appropriate. As the weather gets colder, please don't be that person wearing flip-flops and shorts when there's snow on the ground. No one looks good with frost bite.

How technology ruined dating Indiana Daily Student CHRIS NELSON Imagine you're on a date. The moon is full, the air is crisp and you're standing toe to toe, saying goodnight. On your way home, you keep thinking about the taste of her lips and how excited you are to see her again. Then your phone lights up and reads "Thanks for the great night" with a tacky smile afterwards. Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turnoffs after any date. When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off. You don't want them climbing to you via text till dawn. You don't want to get sick of the person after only one date, especially if they paid. Before cell phones ran our lives, you could wait days before calling someone. Now though, you're always within reach, even when you don't want to be. And don't think not responding will work. You either need to respond immediately if you ever want to see them again or decide it wasn't worth it and call it quits there and then John O'Neill, the director of addictions services at the Meninger Clinic in Houston, says our addiction to technology is "an impulse disorder that can be as socially damaging as alcoholism, gambling and drug addiction." There's no escape anymore. Technology has embedded itself in the deepest roots of society's tissue. This has led to some pretty serious problems. So to me, dating someone who does an after-date text is like dating an alcoholic. But instead of getting thrown up on and turned off, the inevitable text will finish the job. So it's official. Technology is trying to assassinate everything dating once stood for. Don't shoot yourself just yet, because, ladies and gentlemen, I have the solution. Just steer clear of the post-date text and everything will be wonderful. Wait a few days, send that text and enjoy dating the way it should be. Come to think about it, don't text at all. Grow a pair and call them. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinionkanansan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

STUDENT SENATE Elected freshman senators take seats to represent class BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com FRESHMAN SENATOR LINEUP KU students elected five freshman candidates last week to represent them in Student Senate. Here are the five freshman senators who were elected last week. They attended their first Student Senate meeting Wednesday. JONATHAN BURKE The new representatives are: Javon Shackelford, Alpharetta, Ga., Christine Lee, Omaha, Neb., Adam Miklos, Hutchinson, Kan., Alex Rippberger, Olathe, Kan. and Gabe Bliss, Olathe, Kan. Bliss Dongmin Li Douglas D. Bauer The senators attended their first Senate meeting last Wednesday. Christine Lee, the only woman to be elected, said she was amazed with the results. Lee Miklos Jane "I was surprised and elated to get elected," she said. "I wasn't sure how the results would be because I am an out-of-state student and only knew five people coming to Kansas." Besides chalk on a sidewalk, some candidates relied on electronic means of communication, mostly through Facebook. Every candidate except Lee created a campaign group on Facebook to rally support. Rippberger, who created a Facebook group with Bliss, said that Facebook was extremely helpful in reminding people to vote but that talking face-to-face was still a valuable method. Rippberger Alex Earles, Salina senior and student executive chair of Student Senate, said 622 people voted for this election, which was less than half of the 1,491 students who voted last year. Earles said there may have been a decrease in voters this year because only 17 people campaigned to be freshman senators, compared to the usual 25-30 candidates of years past. Earles also said heavy rainfall during campaign week washed away chalk drawings and may have deterred people from being in front of Wescoe to campaign. Shackelford Shackelford Rippberger said he wanted to get involved with the finance committee of Student Senate, citing a need for the group to be more financially strict with its decisions. "I felt that talking to my friends and other people I knew around campus was the best way to create interest and votes," he said. kinds of concerns was the purpose of Student Senate, and would be further shaped by the new senators. "Student Senate is the voice of the students to the administration, community and even the state and national government," he said. "Through Student Senate and its five standing committees, which are open to all students, everyone has a voice and a place to express concerns and desires for change." Earles said addressing these Freshman elections take place every fall. Any freshman may participate by submitting a $20 check or 50 signatures from other freshmen, according to the Student Senate Web site. - Edited by Megan Morriss CRIME CRIME Man charged with child endangerment. jailed PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police said a man out buying drugs flagged down officers after he couldn't find the car he'd parked with his 6-year-old stepson inside.The man,31 was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

The Sun Bowl, scenically located in between two desert mountains, looked as empty as our football stands did about six years ago when we were revamping our football program. Yet, even with the lack of UTEP fans, Kansas fans had an assuring showing. You could hear the crowd cheer through the TV when senior wide receiver and quarterback Kerry Meier launched his 56-yard pass downfield to newly-returned wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. I was impressed at the support from so many Jayhawk fans at an opponent's home stadium. Follow Kansan writer Nicolas Roesler at twitter com/nroesler8. My mother's side of the family lives in El Paso, and I have made many visits to the enormous city of more than 600,000 people, which borders Mexico and the city of Juarez. Two kinds of football are popular down there: Dallas Cowboys football and futbol (soccer). Soccer is very popular in Mexico and among El Paso's residents, who are 76 percent Mexican, according to www. census.gov. You could tell in the Sun Bowl on Saturday that, even although a nationally ranked team was in town, the fans didn't show up and fill the stadium. One of my only explanations for this is that a huge Mexican Soccer League tournament took place in Juarez over the weekend. Fortunately, the Jayhawk faithful made this away game seem a little more at home. Seeing our fans so passionate in an opponent's stadium made me appreciate our great fans even more. One other element that may have contributed to the showing by our wonderful traveling troupe of fans might be that about 35 percent of our football team is from Texas. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing is from just outside of Austin, Briscoe is from Dallas and senior defense end Maxwell Onyebule is from Arlington. The Miner's home crowd might not have been that big, but one thing in Texas sure is: the loyalty of Kansas football fans. I just hope our native Texans play as well as they did Saturday when they travel to Lubbock, Texas, on Oct. 31 to play the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Edited by Nick Gerik These three players made some of the best plays of the game in their home state, and I would bet that their families had no trouble getting to the game to see their loved ones perform. Onygebule recorded two sacks and four tackles in the first half. Briscoe returned from his suspension, caught eight passes for 154 yards and extended his streak of 100-yard receiving games to five, dating back to last year. Reeing completed 25 of 41 passes for 260 yards and helped lead the team to 576 total yards of offense. t S Senior Ryan Davis prepares for practice for the men's basketball team.

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Small jobs make a big difference cthibodeaux@kansan.com BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Normally, people know Ryan Davis simply as "Ryan." But as the men's basketball team manager, he's known by a different name: Frankie. In Davis' first week on the job, assistant coach Kurtis Townsend called for a "Frankie" during warm-ups. No one knew anyone by that name, but Townsend had his eye on Davis and he was the one who replied. "I guess since I responded to it, he thought 'I'll just keep calling him Frankie,'" Davis said.

Davis, a fifth year senior, started as a manager with the Jayhawks during his sophomore year. Working at basketball camps during the summer before his sophomore year acquainted him with previous managers of the team. This, along with his basketball IQ and work ethic, helped him get a manager position. Self said all the managers had crucial roles that went unnoticed by all except the team and its staff.

Trouble in the Big 12: Teams lose on the road ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For a conference that entered the season with so much hype, the Big 12 has had a rough couple of weeks. Oklahoma was ranked third in the preseason, but lost to Brigham Young in its opener. Oklahoma State, with its highest ranking in 24 years, lost to Houston last week. Kansas State couldn't beat Louisiana-Lafayette on the road. Colorado can't beat anyone. Does this mean the end of the Big 12's rise to the top of college football? Not quite yet, the coaches insist. It's still too early to tell. "It's a long season, it's a 12-game season, it's a grind. I wouldn't judge the Big 12 the first couple of weeks," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Monday during the "Sure, there's been some games where we've gotten beat where perhaps we were favored in the conference, but I think you've got to look at it at the end of the season and the whole body of work because this is a pretty darn good conference." There was a time, not all that long ago, when "I wouldn't judge the Big 12 the first couple of weeks." The conference's depth has improved over the past couple of years as most of its teams converted to wide-open offenses that no one can seem to stop. Kansas, the big 12 wasn't considered a strong conference. There was Texas and Oklahoma — Nebraska before that — at the top, playing for national championships, with teams like Colorado or Kansas State occasionally putting together impressive seasons. MARK MANGINO Kansas coach Missouri and Texas Tech have each made national title bids and the rest of the teams have gotten better. At the least, the Big 12 is one of the deepest conferences in the country. Expectations for this season were high. The conference had five teams in The Associated Press preseason poll, including three in the Top 10. Sending a team to the BCS championship game for the fifth time in seven years was considered realistic. So what happens? Two losses to Mountain West Conference teams during the first weekend, then losses to Sun Belt and Mid-American schools last weekend. Granted, Toledo has seven wins against BCS schools the past nine years and BYU is no slouch, moving up to No. 7 in the latest poll. And it's not like the Big 12 is alone when it comes to upets. And the conference still has five teams in the Top 25, with Missouri just missing the final spot. "I don't know that it's unlike any other year or any other conference," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "I think you see it around the country every year, where every week you see people with upsets.

Bechard said. 2009 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE Oct. 21 — at Texas Tech — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24 — Missouri — TBA Sept. 16 — at Missouri — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 31 — Texas A&M — 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23 — Oklahoma — 6:30 p.m. Nov. 4 — at Colorado — 8 p.m. Sept. 26 — at Baylor — 1 p.m. Nov. 7 — at Oklahoma — 7 p.m. Sept. 30 — Colorado — 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 — Kansas State — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 3 — at Texas A&M — TBA Nov. 14 — Baylor — TBA Oct. 7 — at Nebraska — 7 p.m. Nov. 18 — at Iowa State — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 10 — Iowa State — TBA Nov. 21 — Nebraska — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 14 — Texas — 6:30 p.m. Nov. 24 — Texas Tech — 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17 — at Kansas State — TBA Nov. 28 — at Texas — 6:30 p.m. That may be tough to carry out because the Big 12 has some of the top teams in the country. With the non-conference tournaments over, Kansas will have to switch its focus to the powerful Big 12. Bechard said that the strength of play in the Big 12 was on a whole new level from what the team had seen so far. "Ready or not, here it comes," Bechard said. Currently Texas and Nebraska are ranked in the top five and are contenders for the national title while Kansas State and Iowa State are ranked in the Top 25. History has also been unkind — Kansas currently holds a losing record to every current Big 12 KANSAS 7 Junior outside hitter Karina Garlington slays the ball past a Lipscomb blocker.

The challenge of the Big 12 may not be a disadvantage but a chance for the team to test itself junior outside hitter Karina Garlington said. 12 volleyball team, including an astonishing 0-82-1 record against Nebraska. Last year Kansas went 7-13 in the Big 12. "It's an opportunity to play amazing teams," Garlington said. "You can run away with your tail between your legs or you can step up to the plate. You might lose, but it'll make you better for that next team you have to play." With a top heavy Big 12, Kansas will need to stay strong against the lower half of the Big 12 to put itself in contention for a post-season berth. Last season Kansas split the series with Oklahoma, Colorado and Missouri — all teams with losing records. If Kansas wants to play in December, it will need to win the series in the bottom of the Big 12. Kansas will also need to play strong on the road in the Big 12. Last year Kansas went 1-9 on the road with its only victory coming against Texas Tech, which went 0-20 in Big 12 play. Kansas will have a lot of momentum coming off three straight sweeps and a four-match winning streak over all sophomore setter Nicole Tate said. She said she thought Kansas would be very competitive in the Bir 12. Kansas will need to keep that momentum early on as it starts the season with five very winnable games, three of which are on the road. After that, Kansas will have its toughest stretch of games with four ranked teams in a row. "I'm very interested to see how we fare in the Big 12 now," Tate said. St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher John Smoltz wipes his face between innings during their baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 3 in St. Louis. Smoltz pitched six innings, gave up six hits, four runs, one home run with six strike outs. — Edited by Lauren Cunningham POWER ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Cardinals forgo using injured Smoltz BY R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals skipped John Smoltz's turn in the rotation Monday night after he complained of shoulder tendinitis two days earlier. The 42-year-old right-hander said he felt good enough to pitch but realized it was wise to take precautions. "I'm not saying it's the most probable situation, but I could have pitched," Smoltz said. "So we're not taking any chances. It's progressed the way I thought." Todd Wellemeyer filled in for Smoltz against the Florida Marlins, making his first start since July 26. Smoltz, 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in four starts with St. Louis, thinks he's set to start Sunday against the Cubs, although manager Tony La Rusa said he hasn't set his rotation beyond the three-game Florida series. Smoltz received an anti-inflammatory shot for the pain, which he said crops up from time to time. He was scheduled for a bullpen session Tuesday, which would help him regain a feel for pitching. "You play mental games more than anything else and I'm used to those," Smoltz said. "Oh, I haven't picked up a ball in nine days. How am I going to be?' I'm not like that. I just think I'm going to be like where I left off" La Russa said the Cardinals haven't decided whether to use Smoltz as a setup man or as a starter in the postseason. One factor is the health of starter Kyle Lohse, who was awaiting results of an MRI exam on a forearm injury originally sustained in late May. Lohse lasted 3 1-3 innings and gave up four runs on Saturday against the Braves in his first start since Aug. 21 after returning from the 15-day disabled list from a groin strain. A 15-game winner in 2008, he's struggled much of the year with mechanics after the forearm injury, sustained when he was hit by a pitch, and was 5-8 with a 4.83 ERA. "It's hard to put a finger on," Lohse said. "The ball is coming out with the same velocity as it was before, I'm just fighting every pitch to try to get the same release out of my hand." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS La Russia said every start Smoltz makes strengthens his case for a key role in October.

The team began preparations for the two tournaments it will host in October — the Jayhawk Fall Invitational Oct. 3 and the KU Fall Invite Oct. 10 and 11. "I am really excited to finally see the entire team together for the first time," coach Megan Smith said in a press release. "The players worked extremely hard during individual workouts and they have adapted well to our new philosophies. We will continue to focus on fundamentals for the first few weeks of team practice as we prepare for our fall games." Seven starters return to the team, which opens its fall season against Emporia State and Central Missouri State Oct. 3 at home. — Brianne Pfannenstiel CROSS COUNTRY Men's, women's teams rank nationally in poll Kansas can add two more to its list of ranked teams. Both the women's and the men's cross-country teams have been ranked in a poll just released by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. In the preseason poll the women's team is ranked ninth in the Midwest Region and the men's team is ranked tenth. So far this season both teams have lived up to their ranking — the men's team finished first in both of its races and the women's team finished first and a close second.

NFL Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley runs off the field after the Broncos defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 12-7 Sunday in Cincinnati. Stokley scored the winning touchdown on an 87-yard pass reception. Players agree to donate brains after their deaths Samantha Anderson BRONCOS BOSTON — Three active NFL players are joining former players in agreeing to donate their brains after death to a Boston University medical school program that studies sports brain injuries. The donations by Matt Birk of the Baltimore Ravens, Lofa Tatupu of the Seattle Seahawks and Sean Morey of the Arizona Cardinals were announced Monday. 14 Despite big play, Broncos need help Associated Press Associated Press BY ARNIE STAPLETON ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With the euphoria of the "Immaculate Deflection" subsiding, the Denver Broncos returned to work Monday determined to fix plenty of problems that were exposed in their victory at Cincinnati. "We certainly didn't do everything we wanted to do the way we wanted to do it," coach Josh McDaniels said. "But we did do enough things well enough for us to be in it late in the game and give ourselves an opportunity to make a play." ASSOCIATED PRESS Before Brandon Stokley's 87-yard touchdown catch on a deflected pass with 11 seconds left gave the Broncos a farfetched 12-7 win over the bewildered Bengals, Denver's offense failed at every turn. Kyle Orton had thrown for just 156 yards, Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall and top draft pick Knowshon Moreno were a step slow and the bumbling offense failed to take any heat off Denver's defense. Five times the Broncos went three-and-out. Marshall looked mechanical and was unable to gain his usual separation. He dropped the first pass thrown his way and let a deep pass slip through his hands before finishing with four catches for a paltry average of 6.8 yards. He missed almost all offseason while recuperating from hip surgery, protesting his pay and serving a suspension. Moreno, who injured a knee in the preseason, gained just 19 yards on eight carries, and it appeared as though Orton thought he was still in Chicago at times when he got happy feet way too quickly behind Denver's stout offensive line. Guard Ben Hamilton false started, center Casey Wiegmann held and Orton took a sack on sequential plays to move them out of kicker Matt Prater's field goal range. "That whole series was bad football." McDaniels said. And it finally caught up to them. Denver's refurbished defense finally bent, allowing the Bengals to drive 91 yards for the go-ahead score on Cedric Benson's 1-yard TD run with 38 seconds left. Carson Palmer was suddenly comfortable in the pocket without the Broncos blitzing, and McDaniels said the fatigue factor probably caught up with them on that drive. "We weren't on the field enough offensively to prevent that," he said. "We've got to have to ball for more than 26 minutes offensively if we want our defense to hold up as the game goes on. We've got to play better complementary football on both sides." All the foibles faded, however, when Stokley cradled cornerback Leon Hall's deflection at midfield and raced untouched into the end zone with the longest winning play from scrimmage in the final minute of a game in NFL history. The Broncos aren't ready to relegate the play to franchise lore just yet. McDaniels said it holds too many lessons.

Martinez reminds fans he's still got the goods BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Pedro Martinez was considered finished. Then he put on the Phillies pintrips and made everyone remember how good he once was. And still is. The 37-year-old is healthy and pitching like his old Cy Young self and giving the Phillies every reason to believe he can keep this going the rest of September — and October. Martinez tossed six-hit ball and threw 130 pitches in eight shutout innings, leading NL East-leading Philadelphia to a 1-0 win over the New York Mets and a doubleheader sweep on Sunday night. "I came here with the mentality that, in the last quarter of the season, I could help this team when it matters probably the most," he said. "I think today was a good example of what really mattered — to give the bullpen a rest, to help your teammates when you're needed." Ryan Madson worked a scoreless ninth for his eighth save after Brad Lidge finished the opener, won 5-4 by the Phillies. Martinez (5-0) was still going The fans roared when Manuel jogged back to the dugout with Martinez still on the mound. "I was keeping him in anyway," Manuel said. "I had to see what he was going to say." Tim Redding (2-6) was just as effective over six innings and retired 14 straight at one point, allowing only Chase Utley's RBI single in the first inning. strong when he hit 90 mph and fanned David Wright for the first out in the eighth and officially made it his longest outing of the year. In the opener, Kyle Kendrick (1-1) pitched into the eighth and Victorino and Ben Francisco each homered. Lidge, temporarily demoted from his Phillies closer role this week, gave up two runs in the ninth but finished for his 29th save in 39 opportunities. SPORTS HOME Est. 1983 The Mets were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. "I have a lot of respect for them, regardless of what happened, why I'm not with the Mets," Martinez said. "It doesn't matter anymore. It's all business. I just have to let it go." 8 Sparta DOME 1000 Mass St (785) 832-0806 Come Pre-Game @ THE DOME 25% OFF SELECTED ITEMS GEAR UP FOR GAMEDAYS FIRST DOWN FRIDAYS EAGLE TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER 15,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- 4631 SPORTS 5B FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) 13. 5 sacks last season. They were usually non-factors in games against spread offenses. They simply didn't create much pressure. That wasn't the case against UTEP on Saturday when the defensive line totaled six sacks. "In my opinion, I think we are a lot better than we were in the past," Wheeler said. "And I think tonight proved that. Everybody better watch out because the d-line is coming." Entering the season, Mangino made no secret that Kansas needed to enhance its pass rush. But with the Jayhawks bringing back many of the same faces from last season's unit, any talk of improvement seemed more wishful than realistic. But playing with a deep and experienced group, Kansas' defensive line has adequately fulfilled its responsibilities so far. "It's not something "This is a pullquote, it can be from 2 to 6 lines. This is a pullquote, it can be from 2 to 6 lines." SOMEBODY SOMEONE this is a job that just happened over night." Mangino said. intensity and understanding of position. Throughout the offseason, players praised first-year defensive line coach Tom Sims for his And recently another pair of eyes has been closely monitoring the progress of the defensive line. During individual portions of practice, Mangino has spent time working with the defensive linemen. "It's a little intimidating sometimes." Wheeler said. "But he gets us going." With Kansas opting for speed over bulk, Mangino placed senior defensive end Maxwell Onvebule On Saturday, Kansas used multiple linemen throughout the game, and the most interesting rotation occurred when UTEP faced a third-down situation. and junior defensive end Jake Laptad at defensive tackle, allowing sophomore pass rushing and Steven Foster and Wheeler to create pressure from the outside. "It's a different look," Mangino said. "It's speed on the inside with some power. It's a change-up. That's one of the things I like about our defense: We give you a lot of different looks, even with personnel." Daymond Patterson added: "It was probably one of our better games with pressure." Sophomore cornerback Patterson and the rest of Kansas secondary served as the biggest benefactors. The layhawks ranked 10th in the Big 12 in pass defense last season, largely because the defensive line failed to generate disruptive pressure. Patterson said that from his perspective, Saturday's game had a different feel to it. "It's way easier out there just knowing the pressure is getting back here so the quarterback is having to think faster," Patterson said. "He has to get the ball out faster and then he's running around scrambling so his passes aren't as accurate." After the game, Wheeler talked about the defensive line's play and spread credit to the tutoring of Sims and Mangino. He talked about returning to the field and the relative ease of working against UTEP's offensive line. "This year," Wheeler said, "I want to change things and get back on top where I think I should be." Then, he talked about his desire to make a difference this season. The same can be said for Kansas defensive line.

Onyegbule made six tackles insist UTEP PARKER Onyeqbule against OTE including three tackles for a loss and two sacks. He shared the award with Texas' Lamarr Houston. OFFENSIVE LINE DRAWS PRAISE FROM RUNNING BACK COACH For the second consecutive game, senior running back lake For the second consecutive Sharp rushed for more than 100 yards. And for the second consecutive game, Sharp praised the work of the offensive line. "For the second week in a row the o-line did really well," Sharp said. "I'm happy with those guys and happy to run behind those guys." Coach Mark Mangino also noted the line's continued improvement early in the season. Sharp rushed for 104 yards against UTEP, increasing his season total to 227 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. He has averaged 6.1 yards per carry in the two games. "Tonight was a really big night for the offensive line," Mangino said. "That group is getting better. They're a little bit young, but they're talented and tough. We have two out of the three things. We don't have experience but we'll make it on those two." SHUFFLING THE SECONDARY After four pass interference calls in the season opener against Northern Colorado, Mangino shuffled the secondary's starting lineup against UTEP. Junior Chris Harris moved from nickel back to cornerback while senior Justin Thornton moved from safety to nickel back. Junior Phillip Strozier was inserted into the starting lineup at safety opposite senior Darrell Stuckey. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Davis did not start against UTEP. Davis was flagged for pass interference three times against Northern Colorado. "It was based out of necessity," Mangino said. "Anthony had a rough week last week. And nobody felt worse than him. We haven't given up on him." ONE PLAY LINGERS FOR DEFENSE Kansas' defense played well against UTEP on Saturday. As Mangino said after the game, it's hard to complain after surrendering just four rushing yards and seven points. But Thornton said the Jayhawks made one lingering mistake: They allowed a 75-yard touchdown catch and run by UTEP wide receiver Donavon Kemp. CELEBRITY "That's all we're going to be thinking about on the bus ride home is how one play kept us from getting a shutout." Thornton said. "That's what we really wanted." Memorabilia dealer sues Simpson Jayson Jenks Associated Press BY KEN RITTER Associated Press LAS VEGAS — A memorabilia dealer who blames his heart attacks on the stress of being robbed at gunpoint by O.J. Simpson is suing the former football star and five other men who were in the room during the heist, seeking unspecified civil damages. A lawyer for Bruce Fromong said Monday he intends to show a Nevada jury that his 55-year-old client's four heart attacks were caused by the emotional stress of the September 2007 robbery in a Las, Vegas casino hotel room and its aftermath. Fromong, of North Las Vegas, said he is still doctors for physical maladies he blames on the encounter. He said he and his wife, Lynette Fromong, have suffered financially, mentally and physically. Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, called the lawyer frivolous. "I'm going to fight this guy tooth and nail," Galanter said from Miami, Fla. "Initially, Fromong said his heart attacks were caused by the news media. Now O's switching his story and saying O.J. caused it." It names Simpson and convicted co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart as defendants, along with four former co-defendants who were initially charged with Simpson and Stewart but took plea deals and testified for the prosecution. Walter Alexander, Charles Cashmore, Charles Ehrlich and Michael McClinton each pleaded guilty to lesser felonies and received probation. said Fromong told him. "He's trying to make his money the wrong way," Riccio told The Associated Press on Monday night. The lawsuit also names Thomas Riccio — the go-between who arranged the ill-fated meeting with Fromong and was never charged with a crime. The other memorabilia peddler who was robbed, Alfred Beardsley, is not named as a defendant. Riccio said Fromong told him of a possible lawsuit in May when they saw each other at a memorabilia show in San Francisco. "My lawyers want to sue everybody and see what sticks," Riccio Simpson, 62, is serving nine to 33 years at Lovelock Correctional Center, 90 miles northeast of Reno, for his conviction on charges including armed robbery and kidnapping. Stewart, 55, is serving 7 1/2 to 27 years at Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City. Simpson claimed he didn't know anyone had guns and that he was only trying to retrieve items that had been stolen after his acquittal in the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. Both men are appealing their convictions. $7 Haircuts Always $ 8.50 HAIR SHOTS SALON PRICE: 13 $ 20 HI-LITE EXTRA W/LONG HAIR ACADEMY 785.749.1488 HAIR 2429 Iowa St. zcoz.com VOTED BEST SALON TOP OF THE HILL, 2005-2008 ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY STUDENTS UNDER SUPERVISION OF EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS.

Wadley trophy after winning the BMW Championship golf tournament in Lemon, Ill., Sunday. V Championship FedExCup sl PLAYOFFS BMWC Championship FedExCup hip BMW BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS LEMONT, Ill. — One of the slogans for the FedEx Cup is that "every shot counts," which proved meaningful even as Tiger Woods was well on his way to another blowout victory in the BMW Championship. The outcome was never in doubt. Woods took out a month of frustration on a Cog Hill course that had been refurbished with hopes of landing a U.S. Open. He broke the course record with a 62 in the third round to build a seven-shot lead, and he closed with a 3-under 68 to win by eight shots over Jim Furyk and Marc Leishman. Even the world's No. 1 player was surprised to learn it was his 10th victory on the PGA Tour by at least eight shots. "You need to get hot on a tough track," Words said. Most compelling on Sunday was that even as Woods was cruising toward his sixth victory of the year to assure himself the No. 1 seed in the final tournament for the FedEx Cup, the pressure on the rest of the field became even greater. The BMW Championship was the final playoff event to crack the top 30 in the standings and qualify for the Tour Championship in two week at East Lake in Atlanta, where the winner picks up a $10 million bonus. A dozen players were sweating over every shot, and it showed. — Ian Poulter, who was No. 30 going into the week, dunked his approach into the water on the final hole and made bogey. He finished out of the top 30 by less than half a point, the smallest margin in the three-year history of the series. — John Senden, realizing he was in range, hit a wedge from 90 yards that came up 40 yards short of the green. It was a shot rarely seen at Cog Hill even by the public customers who pay $140 for the privilege. — Senden still managed to get the 30th and final spot because Brandt Snedeker, knowing he needed only two putts from 12 feet to make bogey and qualify for the East Lake bonanza, took four putts instead. The last two didn't matter, and they were a product of being in shock over seeing his 3-foot bogey put crash into the lip and spin out. Furyk, the co-winner of the B-Flight at the BMW Champions, rarely had a runner-up mean so much. His 66 allowed him to jump 15 spots to No.3. Furky's round was critical, for he moved from No. 18 to No. 3 and now has a chance to beat Woods. Despite finishing eight shots behind at Cog Hill, and more than 4,000 points behind Woods in the FedEx Cup, they essentially start from scratch. "Now, it's basically a sprint," Woods said.

One of the Park and Ride buses was parked next to Higuchi Hall on an incline while its driver stepped inside to use the restroom. It rolled forward down the incline and struck the lower level of the building at about 12:30 p.m, leaving a busted water pipe, flooded equipment and damaged walls. No one was hurt. Justin Petty, Olathe sophomore. Gerstenberger said the bus driver tried to hop back in the bus after all the air pressure was released and the brakes stopped working. and Kara Gerstenbergen, Olathe sophomore, were the only passengers on the bus when it rolled and struck the building. Petty said they waited for the bus driver to take a short restroom break, and the bus wouldn't go into gear after the bus driver returned. "So she ran around in front of the bus to try and hop back in," Gerstenberger said. "But she couldn't hop back in. And so next thing we heard, she was yelling 'Oh shit' and we crashed into the building." "And when she went out to release the air pressure from the tire, the bus started booking it downward," Petty said. LeeAnn Bennett, research associate with the Central Plains Center for Bioassessment, said she was working on her computer in an office next to the laboratory where the crash occurred when she heard a crash from next door. She said the crash originally sounded like a large thump, as if a shelf fell down. He said both of them were sitting in the seats near the back door.

Sometimes he'll grab an apple. Maybe a bunch of grapes. But never vegetables. "I just eat what I enjoy," Bauer, Topeka sophomore, said. "I don't really care about the whole pyramid stuff, to be honest." The food guide pyramid has changed its shape and modified a few serving sizes in the last decade. However, the necessity of vitamins and nutrients for a healthy diet has remained the same. And so has the college student diet, which is often void of important nutrients because TV dinners and pizza have taken their place. "Students are notorious for not eating a lot of fruits and vegetables," said Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services with the Wellness Resource Center. Although Chapman said the best way to @KANSAN.COM get nutrition is through food, she said students often lack either the funds or motivation to eat right. Learn how much of these vitamins you should consume each day. She said students tend to miss out on four key nutrients: Vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. If you aren't getting the nutrition you need from your food, or, like Bauer, don't care for leafy greens or squash, Chapman recommends one-a-day multivitamins, which come in formulas designed both for women and for men. She said to look for the "USP" label FL YOGHURT DAIRY Brownstreet, Durham 262 370-0144 In the past, experts have stressed the need for calcium to prevent osteoporosis in women. But recent studies have found that men aren't getting enough calcium, either. CALCIUM The recommended daily amount of calcium for 19- to 24-year-old men and women is 1,000 mg. That's more than three cups of non-fat milk or two and a half cups of plain, low-fat yogurt. Chapman said some students don't like milk or don't think to spend money on it. In that case, she said, students could try a cup of yogurt, a smoothie or even a skinny latte. According to a 2009 study from the University of Minnesota, only 53 percent of men ages 19 to 39 and 21 percent of women in the United States consume the recommended amount of calcium. The study also found that 39 percent of men and 43 percent of women consume less than one daily serving of dairy products. "It's a less traditional way, but lattes have almost as much calcium as a glass of milk," she said. FLAKES The Original & Best IRON Chapman said iron was best absorbed with vitamin C. This means that a bowl of cereal with non-fat milk, which contains iron and calcium, and a glass of orange juice, which has vitamin C, is one of the best breakfasts a student could have, she said. Chapman said iron deficiency was a major issue for women. She said women were hit with a "double whammy" when it came to iron deficiency because many women didn't eat a lot of red meat — the best source for iron and — because they lose blood through menstruation each month. Iron deficiencies lead to depleted amounts of oxygen in the blood stream and muscle tissue, also known as anemia. Chapman said, Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, dizziness and pale skin. On the other hand, Chapman said, men tend to over-indulge their red-meat tooth. "Iron overload," according to the NIH, can lead to hemochromatosis, which can cause organ damage and heart failure. Women require 18 mg of iron each day to make the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board's recommended daily dose, compared to the 8 mg a day needed by men. According to the NIH, about two cups of oatmeal or a bowl of 100 percent iron fortified cereal will meet a woman's daily iron requirement. A man would need less than one cup of soybeans to meet his requirement. Beans, tofu and spinach are also sources of iron. Baer said she thought she ate better since she moved to college than before she left Natalie Baer, St. Louis freshman, takes a multivitamin twice a day. She takes an iron supplement too, and a couple of other pills to boost her nutrition. on vitamin bottles, which stands for United States Pharmacopeia and ensures a higher quality of vitamin. The Watkins Health Center Pharmacy carries more than 50 varieties of supplements, including the multivitamins for both men and women and various doses of vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. Baer also starts each day with a bowl of Kashi cereal with some blueberries or blackberries and milk. She eats a veggie wrap for lunch and usually brown rice or chicken for dinner. | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | | | VITAMINA Vitamin A is most commonly associated with eye health, but according to the Office of Dietary Supplements with the National Institution of Health, vitamin A also plays a role in your immune system, bone growth and reproduction. According to the NIH, it would take about an eighth of a cup of carrot juice or about one cup of spinach for a 19- to 24-year-old male to have a full day's recommended value of vitamin A. A female would require a little less. Aside from carrots, spinach and liver, students can get vitamin A from apricots, mangos, cantaloupe and even oatmeal — items not always found on a student's daily menu. "I feel healthier with the way I'm eating now because I'm in charge of what I'm eating," she said. "I'm paying for my own food. It's not food I can eat whenever I want." Chapman said people generally didn't need to take vitamin A each day because the human body could store an excess of the vitamin in the liver, releasing the nutrient when the body needed it. That will work unless you flush your system with too much alcohol, according to the NIH. "It is very important for people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol to include good sources of vitamin A in their diets," the Web site said. NIH also said excess alcohol intake was a leading cause of vitamin A deficiency in the United States. If those who drink excessive alcohol have lower levels of vitamin A, they can boost vitamin A by taking supplements. But that too can be problematic because alcohol can make the liver more susceptible to toxic levels of vitamin A, which can lead to liver abnormalities and reduced bone density. Edited by Samantha Foster VITAMIN C While you most likely won't get curvy from a lack of vitamin C in your diet, you could develop a slew of health concerns, ranging from gingivitis and split ends to slowed healing and metabolism and decreased immunity, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The U.S. Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Science recommends that men ages 19 to 24 consume 90 mg of vitamin C each day. That's about one cup a day of raw orange juice, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For women, it's 75 mg a day, or less than one cup of unsweetened orange juice. However, Chapman said studies have found that cigarette smokers and women who use oral contraceptives often need more vitamin C. Most fruits and cereals meet both daily recommendations for males and females. Photos illustrations by Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN UNIVERSITY School to add new major for 2010 year BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com Since her freshman year, Lauren Patti wanted to major in international studies. Instead, the Roeland Park senior will graduate with her bachelor's degree in political science with a co-major in international studies because there wasn't an international studies major at the University of Kansas. Yet. Currently one can only earn a co-major in international studies in addition to a central major. In Fall 2010, the new Center for Global and International Studies will create its own major, global and international studies. "This is something we should have done 30 years ago." William Tsutsi, associate dean for international studies, said, "It's the number one requested major by freshmen." Tsutsui said the department would have rigorous entrance requirements, otherwise it would have more applicants than the program had room for. The new major will require students to gain a regional expertise, language skills and take basic social sciences, which are already required by the co-major. But the major will also include one global thematic study, such as global health care or global environmental studies. Despite the recession, Tsutsui said College of Liberal Arts and Sciences still thought it was necessary to move on with the plans, originally made in 2007, to create the center. "The current economic situation has made us realize how important a global outlook is." Tsutsui said. "We can manage to do a lot with a little. We have a very committed staff." The center currently has a budget of about $100,000 to construct the new major, appoint new administration and spread the word about SEE UNIVERSITY ON PAGE 3A index Classifieds...6A Crossword...6B Horoscopes...6B Opinion... 7B Sports... 1B Sudoku... 6B Foreign reporter out early after jail sentence in Iraq All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2009 The University Daily Kansan weather The Iraqi reporter who threw shoes at former President George W.

Edited by Betsy Cutcliff MILITARY + Military personnel move on a staged iraqi village as part of transition training on post at Fort Riley on Friday. A mission that has trained more than 15,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to be advisers in Afghanistan and Iraq is leaving Kansas after three years, shifting focus as it moves to Louisiana. The change is part of the next phase in Iraq aimed at the withdrawal of troops in 2011. ASSOCIATED PRESS Local mission plan changes; leaves Kansas after 3 years The White House says Monti showed selfless service and sacrifice on during combat. Obama will appear with his parents in the East Room. Associated Press BY JOHN MILBURN Monti was a native of Raynham, Mass. He previously was awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, five Army Commendation Medals, four Army Achievement Medals and three National Defense Service Medals. FORT RILEY — A mission that has trained more than 15,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to be advisers in Afghanistan and Iraq is leaving Kansas after three years, shifting focus as it moves to Louisiana. Associated Press Instead of training teams of 12 to 16 people, the mission to be based at Fort Polk, La. will turn combat brigades of 3,500 soldiers into a brigade focused on advising. The change is part of the next phase in Iraq aimed at the withdrawal of troops in 2011. Instead of training small groups and sending them to work as liaisons between U.S. forces and Iraqi forces, the teams will be brigadesized and do much the same task. The idea is that with larger groups, the brigades can do a better job of training the Iraqis as the U.S. pulls back from combat operations. Defense analyst John Nagl, president of the Center for New American Security in Washington, said the new system was a move in the right direction, giving brigades additional skills without compromising their combat abilities. "We are figuring this thing out. This is a learning process," said Nugl, a former Army colonel who trained advisers at Fort Riley and helped write the Army's counterinsurgency manual. The shift reflects not only a change in location for the training, but a change in the adviser mission. RECOGNITION Obama to issue his first Medal of Honor award The first brigades are being trained and deployed to Iraq, including three brigades of the 3rd Infantry Division from Fort Stewart, Ga., and one from 4th Infantry at Fort Benning. About 90 percent of what U.S. forces are doing in Iraq is advising army and police forces to develop skills, said Col. Mark Bertolini, commander of the Fort Polk unit responsible for adviser training. That part of the mission will also grow in Afghanistan as that nation increases the size of its security forces. He said the new brigades will have the ability to deploy repeatedly without needing to rebuild adviser units, saving time and resources. NEWS 3A "Fort Riley did very important work for three years in training and educating the advisers to the Afghan and Iraqi militaries," Nagl said. "It is a thankless mission. Not nearly as fun, but it served the nation well." Fort Polk is better suited for training advisers, Nagl said, because of its mission and available resources. He noted that Fort Riley was never designed to keep the mission forever. WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is giving his first Medal of Honor to a soldier who sacrificed his life saving a comrade in Afghanistan. For Fort Riley, the move means The final tally late Tuesday was 240-179, generally but not entirely along party lines. It was 233 Democrats and seven Republicans voting to chastise Wilson, 167 Republics and 12 Democrats opposing the measure and five Democrats merely voting "present." Bertolini said brigades of advisers with good language and culture skills will enable the development of those forces. Obama plans to award the honor to Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti during a ceremony at the White House on Thursday. The White House announced the plans Tuesday. "This will put the expertise within in the brigades, a team of teams," Bertolini said Tuesday. "It's such a critical mission, the exit strategy for Iraq and Afghanistan eventually." a shift in focus, but it also means growth. "The resolution is not about the substance of an issue but about the conduct we expect of one another in the course of doing our business," declared House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., who sponsored the measure with Democratic Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C. The 1st Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division, which is ending its role training advisers, will grow from less than 1,000 soldiers to closer to 3,800 soldiers as it returns its focus on preparing for war as an armored brigade. The growth is the last phase of the Army's plans to increase the Fort Riley soldier population to more than 18,000. Fort Riley traditionally has trained large units for war. One 1st Infantry brigade returns from Iraq this month, while a second is beginning its yearlong tour. Lt. Col. James Smith, commander of a Fort Riley battalion training advisers, said he will soon begin building his infantry battalion to full strength, but will have some soldiers who trained advisers who will help develop cultural and language skills among the incoming soldiers. Republicans tended to strongly disagree. Wilson had called the White House to apologize shortly after the incident, and he said at the time that the president "graciously accepted my apology and the issue is over." N WASHINGTON — Bitterly divided along party lines, the House formally rebuked Republican Rep. Joe Wilson Tuesday for shouting "You lie" at President Barack Obama during last week's nationally televised speech to Congress. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We're here on some witch hunt, some partisan stunt that the American people are not going to respect," said Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio. "We've always had them resident in the Army, mainly in special forces. Based on broad width of experiences advising, I think we'll have that resident for the next 20 years," smith said. The rare resolution of disapproval was pushed through by Democrats insisting that Wilson, a South Carolina lawmaker, had violated basic rules of decorum and civility in his outburst. Republicans dismissed the vote as a political "witch hunt" and a waste of precious time and taxpayers' money. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, is calling for increasing the size of Afghan forces before committing additional U.S. troops to the war. The job of training those soldiers would fall to Army advisers. House rebukes outcry as uncivil "This is definitely a growth industry in the Army," Bertolini said.

Bush, is seen on his release from a Baghdad prison Tuesday, Sept. 15. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was deeply embarrassed by his act of protest. Al-Maliki was standing beside Bush at a Dec. 14 news conference when the reporter suddenly shot up in his chair and hurled his shoes toward the podium. YOUNG INTERNATIONAL Reporter claims he was tortured in prison BY HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press BAGHDAD—The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush in protest was freed from prison on Tuesday and, unrepentant, he harshly condemned the U.S. presence in his country and accused authorities of torturing him. Muntadhar al-Zeidi's stunning act of protest in December made him a hero for many in and outside Iraq. It struck a chord with millions in the Arab and Muslim worlds who have been captivated and angered by daily images of destruction and grieving since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. But nine months later, there was little public outpouring of support for him,a sign of how things have changed. Since the incident, U.S. forces have pulled back from Iraq's cities, significantly lowering the profile of the U.S. military ahead of a planned full withdrawal from the country. Also, Barack Obama — seen by many Muslims as more sympathetic to their cause — is now in the White House in place of Bush, whom many blamed for unleashing Iraq's turmoil. Moreover, with some improvements in security, some Iraqis are undecided on whether the invasion was an unmitigated evil as many long depicted it. A spokesman who works for Bush in his Dallas office declined to comment Tuesday. Talking to reporters after his release, al-Zeidi said he only wanted to avenge his country's humiliation. "Here I am, free, but my country remains captive," he said. "I confess that I am no hero, but I was humiliated to see my country violated, my Baghdad burn and my people killed." His protest came on Bush's final visit to Iraq as president, on Dec. 14. At a press conference, al-Zeidi shot up from his chair and hurled his shoes toward Bush at the podium, shouting "this is your farewell kiss, you dog!" and "this is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." Bush ducked twice to avoid being hit and was unhurt. Al-Zeidi was wrestled to the ground by journalists and security men. The protest was a deep embarrassment to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who was standing beside Bush. On Tuesday, a pale looking al-Zeidi, in a dark suit, tie and a newly grown beard, spoke emotionally of the suffering of Iraqs since 2003, citing that as the motive for what he did. "Simply put, what incited me toward confrontation is the oppression that fell upon my people and how the occupation wanted to humiliate my homeland by placing it under its boots," he said in a prepared statement he read at the offices of Al-Baghdadi TV station, where he works and where he went "I confess that I am no hero, but I was humiliated to see my country violated." immediately after his release. he said senior officials from al-Maliki's government and Iraq's army tortured him with beatings, whippings and electric shocks immediately after his detention. At least two of al-Zeidi's teeth appeared to be missing when he spoke at the TV station, but it was not immediately clear whether he lost them due to beatings. Al-Zeidi also said he feared for his life and claimed that U.S. MUNTADHAR AL-ZEIDI Iraqi reporter agents wanted to kill him In Washington, CIA spokesman George Little dismissed that claim, saying, "That's so foolish as to warrant no further comment." acknowledged that al-Zeidi had made serious allegations of rights abuse. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly "These kinds of accusation we take very seriously, and we trust that the Iraqi government will take them seriously, as well," he said. News of al-Zeidi's release brought jubilant scenes at his family home, a modest apartment in a central Baghdad commercial district. Female relatives danced and ululated when al-Zeidi called his brother Uday to say that he was released. Men performed traditional dances and chanted rhymed verses in his honor. Sweets were handed to the two dozen reporters present and glasses of sweetened fruit drinks were given to motorists outside. Sheep were slaughtered in his honor and children wore their best clothes, with little girls in satin and lace dresses and boys in dark suits. Haidar al-Zeidi, a 6-year-old nephew of the reporter, recited a poem composed by his father Dargham. Its refrain was "glory be to the shoes" and referred to Bush as a blood sucker. Al-Zeidi went from the TV station to an undisclosed location for the night. His brother Uday said the reporter will travel Thursday to Greece for medical checkups and because he had concerns about his safety in Iraq. The owner of Al-Baghdadiya, businessman Aoun al-Khashloug, is based in Greece. The Cairo-based lawyer for the channel, Anass al-Bayaty, said a private plane commissioned by the owner was picking al-Zeidi from Baghdad Tuesday night and flying him to Syria before moving on to Europe.

The program puts engineering students in contact with potential employers in the industry. Even though they are underrepresented in the School of Engineering, female students have academically out-performed male students. Chance Dibben/KANSAN BY RAY SEGEBRECHT Lauren Fitzpatrick, Overland Park senior, didn't expect to encounter an overflow of females when she enrolled as an engineering student her freshman year. What she found wasn't even close. For almost the last decade, women have accounted for approximately 20 percent of engineering undergraduates, the lowest female percentage of any school at the University, according to the KU Academic Information System. But even that knowledge could not prepare Fitzpatrick for when she enrolled in aerospace engineering and found only five other female students in her graduating class. "I was terrified," Fitzpatrick said. "In aerospace engineering, we have the fewest girls." Fitzpatrick said a formal female mentoring program didn't exist when she began her freshman year, but she would have appreciated it. "If I would have had that, there would have been a little less stress as a freshman," Fitzpatrick said. "In the School of Engineering, you're surrounded by males. You're always questioning, Am I supposed to be here?" Now a senior, Fitzpatrick has finally found an opportunity for this type of relationship, but instead of receiving advice, she is providing it. She volunteers in the Society for Women Engineers Mentoring Program, new to engineering students. She has become, for three female freshmen, the resource she didn't have. Callie Statz, Ballwin, Mo., senior and coordinator for the program, said it would be part of the Society of Women Engineers, which she was president of last year. The program paired any female freshman interested in the school with female upperclassmen on a similar degree path. Statz said. Boldridge said the 16 participating mentors give advice on extracurricular activities and student life, as well as offer tutoring for classes. Rachel Robinson, Overland Park freshman and one of the students Fitzpatrick is mentoring, said they have already met multiple times this semester. "She helped me plan out the next four years, including summer school," Robinson said. "I'm so grateful for it. Without that, I'm pretty sure I'd be kind of lost." Heather Weed, Topeka senior and current SWE president, said the program was just one of a variety of new efforts this fall in the School of Engineering to make current and prospective female students feel more welcome. She said that this year she wanted to use SWE to promote engineering to high school women and help put those already involved in the program in touch with employers. "I really want to make it go somewhere," Weed said. "It can do so much to help women in engineering. It can be a unifying group to let us help each other." Weed said she made the decision to switch her major to engineering after receiving inspiration from female friends she met on a summer study abroad program in Germany after her sophomore year. Weed said she recognized that studying engineering could be more intimidating for women without the support she had. "We can't reach out to enough girls," Weed said. "You have to be strong and confident in yourself to be an engineer. It's kind of that kind of field. For one reason or another, women don't see themselves as being able to make it." But the women who have opted to study engineering have been doing fine. Jill Hummels, public relations director for the school, said the average grade point average of female graduates in 2007 was virtually the same as the male graduates. Last year, women made up 20.3 percent of undergraduate engineering students at the University, according to the KU Academic Information System. The School of Business had the second lowest percentage of female undergraduates $ ^{-}$ 37.6 percent- and the School of Social Welfare had the highest at 91.2 percent. Boldridge predicted that the percentage of female undergraduate engineering students this year would drop down, between 19 and 20 percent, but she said she hoped reaching out to high school students this year would help bring the figure back up. The University of Kansas isn't the only university in the state trying to strengthen its female engineering community. Kansas State University, where women account for between 12 and 13 percent of undergraduate engineering students, has also implemented programs for attracting and supporting female engineering students, said Kimberly Douglas-Mankin, director of the Women in Engineering & Science Program. "We have a pretty extensive set of programs at K-State," Douglas-Mankin said. "What we're doing right now is we're looking at specific programs and whether those programs have an impact." Fitzpatrick said she hoped the new KU mentor program would have a positive impact on both current and future female freshmen in the School of Engineering. Even though the percentage of women in engineering at the University has remained fairly consistent, Fitzpatrick said she thought the extra efforts the school was making this year could help it grow. "We want to bump our female percentages from 20 to 30 to 40 percent." Fitzpatrick said. "And I want to be a part of that."

The landscape is serene and tranquil, with no visible signs of human activity. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Columbia River flows near Corbett, Ore., May 24, 2005. The Obama administration says it will be more aggressive in protecting declining Pacific Northwest salmon runs and will study breaching some dams as a last resort in a long-awaited management plan. The administration submitted the plan to a federal judge Tuesday in Portland, Ore. Called a "biological opinion," it will guide hydroelectric dam operations and fish conservation programs in the Columbia Basin for the next decade. Critics argue salmon policy BY WILLIAM MCCALL Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Calling it an "insurance policy" for Pacific Northwest salmon, the Obama administration on Tuesday offered up a tougher conservation plan for the fish that includes climate-change monitoring and the "last-resort" possibility of removing dams. The plan submitted to a federal judge for approval was a revised version of a Bush administration plan that had been in the works for years, but which was rejected. Reaction to the new plan was sharply divided, echoing a debate that stretches back decades over balancing Columbia River Basin fish survival and hydroelectric dams; It either goes too far or not far enough. Environmentalists say it does little to enhance the Bush administration plan the judge has already called inadequate, while business groups worry it could lead to drastic measures such as dam removal on the lower Snake River in southeastern state. "We appreciate that President Obama took the time to look at this, but we see little more than a veiled attempt to pass off the old Bush plan as a new one," said Greg Stahl, assistant policy director for Idaho Rivers United. Another environmentalist was even more critical, calling the new plan "illegal and scientifically un-sound." Nicole Cordan, legal and policy director of the Save Our Wild Salmon coalition, said the Obama administration acknowledged the analysis in the Bush plan was uncertain and potentially overly optimistic but stuck with much of it. "We believe the time has come to get out of the courtroom." "Again, we've had eight years of these same actions and same kind of work, and what we're seeing is a whole lot of money spent and not a whole lot of impact happening on the ground," Cordan said. JANE LUBCHENCO Chief of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Most of the $750 million spent each year on salmon conservation comes from Bonneville Power Administration ratepayers. The Portland-based BPA is the federal power marketing agency that shares salmon recovery management with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The plan submitted by NOAA professor Jane Lubchenco, said the additional measures recommended by the Obama administration take into account the uncertainties mentioned by critics and tries to adjust for them. to U.S. District Judge James Redden on Tuesday is called a "biological opinion" that sets the requirements for ensuring salmon survival under the Endangered Species Act. She noted the new plan would immediately expand research and monitoring, and set specific biological "triggers" for strong conservation measures if numbers of endangered or threatened fish fail to reach certain benchmarks. The chief of NOAA, former Oregon State University Lubchenco, widely considered a top expert in marine ecology, defended the scientific models used to draft the plan but said more research would be required to make sure it works and to adapt it to variable conditions, including climate change. She called for an end to litigation over the plan in order to move forward with conservation measures that may not enjoy unanimous support but resulted from a regional consensus, including many American Indian tribes. "It's definitely not business as usual," Lubchenco told The Associated Press in an interview. "We believe the time has come to get out of the courtroom," Lubchenco said. The biological opinion has been a work in progress since 2000, and has twice been rejected by Redden who, at one point, threatened to take over management of Columbia River Basin hydroelectric dams. But some elements of the plan, including a recommendation that the Corps of Engineers study the possible removal of the four lower Snake River dams, raised serious concerns with U.S. Rep.Doc Hastings, the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee. "The Obama administration has put dam removal back on the table and delivered just what dam removal extremists have been demanding," said Hastings, whose committee has jurisdiction over fish recovery and federal hydropower dams. Steve Wright, Bonneville Power Administration chief, added that hydroelectricity produced by the dams is not only relatively cheap, it does not cause any carbon dioxide pollution, considered the main cause of global warming. Sen. Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat, said the Obama administration made improvements over the previous proposal but he worries about more litigation stalling salmon recovery efforts. His spokeswoman, Julie Edwards, said Merkley agrees with Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch of Idaho "that a regional dialogue among all the stakeholders will be necessary to forge a lasting solution."

But don't fear, professional help is just a quick application away. For its 250th episode, TLC's television show "What Not to Wear" is doing a national contest search, and is looking to Lawrence for contestants. "It's a nice cross section of America our viewers can relate to," Lauren Ranzino, casting associate producer for "What Not to Wear," said. Mary Hopkins, Prairie Village sophomore, said "What Not to Wear" was her favorite show on TLC. "I don't think I would want to nominate anyone," Hopkins said, "They can be pretty brutal." Hopkins said Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, the show's hosts, taught her how to dress. She said she took advice from the show, such as wearing dark denim, straight leg jeans.

Ranzino said they were looking for America's worst dressed person to make over on the show, but they also wanted a unique and eclectic character.

Edited by Betsy Cutcliff CRIME Suspected burglar killed by student with samurai sword E BY BEN NUCKOLS A Johns Hopkins student killed a suspected burglar in a courtyard behind his garage early Tuesday morning. Electronics had been stolen from the home Monday night, but it was not clear whether the victim was responsible for the earlier theft. Associated Press BALTIMORE — A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a suspected burglar in a garage behind his off-campus home early Tuesday, hours after someone broke in and stole electronics. They shocked neighbors said they heard bloodcurdling screams in an area just blocks from the university. Police held the student, a junior chemistry major who turns 21 on Sunday, for several hours, but no charges were filed by early afternoon, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Around 1:20 a.m., the student heard noises behind the home and noticed a door to the garage was open, Guglielmi said. He grabbed the sword and confronted the intruder, who was crouching beneath a counter. The student asked the suspect what he was doing and threatened to call police. "When he said that, the suspect lunged at him, kind of forced the kid against the wall, and he struck him with the sword." Guglielmi said. The intruder's left hand was nearly severed — Guglielmi described it as "hanging on by a thread" — and the man suffered a severe cut to the upper body. The 49-year-old suspect, whom police described as a habitual offender, died at the scene. On Monday, two laptops and a Sony PlayStation were stolen from the student's home, which he shares with three other students, but police were not sure whether the slain suspect was responsible, Guglielmi said. There was a pool of blood Tuesday morning in the brick courtyard between the back porch of the home and the garage. The courtyard was strewn with debris, including what looked like broken glass. Guglielmi did not know why the student kept a sword. He said he may have had some martial arts training, but was not an expert.

Ray Odieno (left), the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Christopher Hill in Baghdad Tuesday. Mortar shells killed two civilians and wounded five others Tuesday, the same day that Biden arrived in Baghdad unannounced. Biden will meet with Iraq leaders to discuss security issues in preparation for withdrawing combat forces next year. 2 deaths mark Biden's arrival in Iraq BY DAVID RISING Associated Press BAGHDAD — Insurgents fired four mortar shells at Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone on Tuesday, killing two civilians, on the same day Vice President Joe Biden arrived in the Iraqi capital on an unannounced visit to help resolve political differences among Iraqis. One round that fell short hit residential apartments on the Tigris River, killing two people and wounding five others, including a 12-year-old, a police official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment to the press. The shells were fired after Biden arrived in Iraq on his third trip to the country this year. It was not clear where he was at the time. As the White House's point man on Iraq, Biden said he has been in regular contact with the country's leaders. The faint pops of the mortars being fired were audible on the opposite side of the Tigris River from the Green Zone, and at least one of the shells was heard exploding on impact. "The whole purpose is to see how we can be helpful, if we can, in helping them resolve the outstanding political issues they have to resolve internally, so that when the (security agreement) is fully implemented we leave a stable Iraq," he told reporters after meeting with Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill. The U.S.-Iraqi security agreement calls for the withdrawal of American combat forces by the end of August, 2010, and of all U.S. troops by the end of 2011. The three-day trip gives Biden a chance to meet with the full range of fraqi leaders, both in Baghdad's central government and in the self-governing Kurdish region, whose boundaries with the rest of the country have become a volatile fault line. "I'm here to listen, and occasionally they have asked me to be an interlocutor on their behalf, and it's been of some value so far," he said. Biden said that Odierno was optimistic that the readiness of Iraqi forces would allow the U.S. military to withdraw all combat forces next year according to plan, and then proceed with pulling out the remaining 50,000 troops by the end of the following year. There are now about 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. The Iraqi government plans to hold a national referendum on the agreement in conjunction with elections in January. If approved, the referendum would require all U.S. forces to leave within one year — well ahead of the existing plan to withdraw completely by the end of 2011. Biden said of the referendum that Iraqi leaders have indicated "it is likely to happen." But he added, "I'm not sure it's settled yet." Biden made his last visit to the country on July 4 to spend U.S. Independence Day with the troops. During that trip he also met with his son, Beau, who is an Army captain serving in Iraq. In his meetings with Iraqi officials, Biden was expected to discuss plans for the January elections and the ongoing violence in Iraq's north. As the number of bombings and other attacks declines elsewhere in Iraq, the north remains a battleground between Sunni Arab extremists and Iraqi and U.S. forces. Kurdish-Arab tension there also frequently flares into violence. HPV Fact #6 For most, HPV clears on its own. But for some women cervical cancer can develop.

Conn. Police on Tuesday raided the apartment of a man they call a person of interest in the slaying of a Yale graduate student. Two search warrants for DNA and other physical evidence were served at the apartment of 24-year-old Raymond Clark III in Middletown. No charges were filed against Clark, who police said would be released after they obtain the evidence they need from him and his apartment. Clark, dressed in a tight-fitting white shirt, was handcuffed and escorted out of the apartment building and into a silver car. Neighbors leaned over the apartment buildings iron railings and cheered as police led him away. New Haven Police Chief James Lewis did not describe Clark as a suspect. He said police were hoping to compare DNA taken from him to more than 150 pieces of evidence collected from the crime scene. "We're going to be making sure there's not other suspects out there," Lewis said. Investigators began staking out Clark's home on Monday, a day after they discovered 24-year-old Anni Le's body hidden in the basement of a research building at Yale's medical school. She had vanished Sept. 8. Clark shares the apartment with his girlfriend, Jennifer Hromadka, whom he is engaged to marry in December 2011, according to the couple's incomplete wedding Web site. Middletown is about 20 miles north of New Haven. Neither the couple nor Clark's parents returned repeated telephone calls Tuesday. Clark moved to Middletown from New Haven six months ago, and shares the apartment with his girlfriend and three cats, according to former neighbor Taylor Goodwin, 16. "I never really "I never really talked to him much,he was just some guy." "I never reany talked to him much, he was just some guy," Goodwin said. tion. TAYLOR GOODWIN Neighbor of Clark It was unknown how long Clark worked at Yale or his duties. Clark's supervisors at Yale would not comment Tuesday. Authorities had been tightlipped since Le was reported missing Sept. 8, just a few days before her wedding day. Police say they have ruled out her fiancee, a Columbia University graduate student, as a suspect but have provided little additional information. Le worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice, and investigators found her body stuffed in the basement wall of a facility that housed research animals. Investigators usually have reasons for keeping information secret during a criminal probe, said David Zlotnick, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches law at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. Officials had promised Tuesday to release an autopsy report that would shed light on exactly how Le died. But then prosecutors blocked release of the results out of concern that it could hinder the investiga- Secrecy helps police confront possible suspects with little-known evidence about a crime and makes it harder them to fabricate a cover story. "Having that information secret or private helps the investigators know, first of "rightors know, first of all, what buttons to push on the person, and it makes sure they haven't tainted the investigation," Zlotnick said. Le's body was found Sunday, the day she would have been married on New York's Long Island. Her remains had been crammed into a wall recess where utilities and cables run between floors. The Le family issued a statement Tuesday through a family friend, the Rev. Dennis Smith, that thanked friends and the Yale community for their support during their grieving. The family also asked for privacy. "The entire Yale community as well as our extended families and friends have been very supportive, helpful and caring," said Smith, speaking for the family. "Our loss would have been immeasurably more difficult to cope with without their support." Peaceful puzzling I will never forget the sunshine that shines on me. It makes me feel alive and happy.

The report says Justice Department bosses have repeatedly failed to fix the problem. The Justice Department's Inspector General, Glenn Fine, has drafted a preliminary report on the two agencies' repeated squabbles to claim jurisdiction in investigations of explosives incidents across the country — from Times Square in New York City to Arizona and the West Coast. The most recent documented spat came last December when the FBI protested a local prosecutor's request to use the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to investigate a blast that killed a local bomb technician in Woodburn, Ore. FBI and ATF supervisors "tend to deploy their employees to the larger, more sensational explosives incidents, sometimes racing each other to be the first federal agency on the scene and disputing upon arrival which agency should lead the investigation," according to a draft version of the report. "Such conflicts can delay investigations, undermine federal and local relationships, and may project to local agency responders a disjointed federal response to explosives incidents in their area," the draft report found. Officials in both agencies' claim such problems have been resolved, yet the report stated that "disputes between the FBI and ATF continue to occur" Changes and corrections are still being made to the draft document. FRI and ATF officials did not immediately comment. A Justice spokeswoman declined to comment on the draft. The report, which analyzes the agencies' interactions from 2003 to early 2009, is expected to be released later this month, though an exact date was uncertain. So-called "battles of the badges" between different law enforcement agencies are nothing new, but the ill will between FBI and ATF dates back decades and has survived the 2002 transfer of ATF from the Treasury Department to Justice. Some had thought putting the agencies in the same department might end the feud, but the Justice Department has spent years trying to get the two sides to cooperate. The inspector general said the problem is exacerbated by the fact that Justice Department instructions don't clearly spell out who is in charge of federal responses to crime scenes involving explosives. The confusion lies in the mandate of each agency: The FBI is charged with investigating terrorism in any form and the ATF is charged with investigating incidents in which explosives were used as a weapon. Often, it is hard to tell when police first arrive on the scene whether the motive behind a bomb or explosive device is terrorism or something else. Traditionally, it has been the job of the No. 2 official at the Justice Department to resolve such issues, but the inspector general found that for years, deputy attorneys general have failed to do so, despite written instructions issued in 2004 and 2008. "We believe it is critical that DOJ issue a new directive to clearly define lead investigative authority between the FBI and ATF and require coordination of investigative actions," the draft report recommends. While the two agencies are supposed to be entering information into a joint database, the review found the FBI hasn't entered anything into the database since 2004.

INTERNATIONAL Mexico sees escalation of drug cartel violence ASSOCIATED PRESS TJUANA, Mexico Firefighters have found six bodies inside a burning car in Tijuana, and 10 people were killed in two separate shootings in another northern Mexican border town besieged by drug violence. Near Mexico's southern border, meanwhile, the bullet-ridden bodies of eight men suspected to be drug traffickers were found in a Guatemalan frontier town. In Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, four bodies were found in a burning compact car's seats and two in the trunk, according to a police report Tuesday. the motive for killings were not released, but the Mexican city is on a major route for drugs heading north and has recently seen a wave of violence between warring gangs. The bodies were found Monday night. The victims' identities and In Ciudad Juarez, gunmen opened fire inside a hardware store, killing the woman who owned the store and four other people, including a 19-year-old man, the regional attorney general's office said. Minutes later, an armed gang killed five men riding in a pickup truck. midst of an intense turf battle between the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels. Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, is Mexico's deadliest city with more than 1,300 killings so far this year. The city is in the Officials held a ceremony for 1,200 Mexican army soldiers who were being withdrawn from Ciudad Juarez. The troops were part of a contingent sent there earlier this year to fight crime while the city trained more police officers. The military has trained 1,027 police officers for the city, which now has a police force of 3,025 officers, about a third larger than its previous size. President Felipe Calderon has deployed more than 45,000 troops to drug hotspots since taking office in 2006. Drug violence has since surged, claiming more than 13,500 lives across Mexico. CRIME The bodies in Guatemala were found in the San Marcos region, which has become a major transit point for cocaine shipments that often are left at sea to be picked up by local traffickers and smuggled into Mexico. Police spokesmanuan Choguix said the eight men were suspected of being drug smugglers. Guatemala has been increasingly plagued by drug violence mirroring Mexico's gang wars. Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom has blamed the drug trade for many the 6,200 homicides that occurred in the Central American country last year. Five arrested after raids in dogfighting crackdown COLUMBIA BY CHERYL WITTENAUER ASSOCIATED FOOTBALLER Fay, a 5-year-old pit bull, appears to snarl when she lips were ripped from her face in a dogfight. She was rescued during a multirate raid July 8. Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Fay looks menacing as her teeth jut out from a mouth without lips, which have been ripped from her face along with part of her nose during vicious dogfights. But the 5-year-old black American pit bull terrier, one of the pitiful casualties of an illegal practice, wags her tail relentlessly and offers her scarred body to be petted by strangers. She cuddles easily in the arms of a caretaker. ASSOCIATED PRESS After the first guilty pleas from the largest coordinated multistate raids on dogfighting in U.S. history, the Humane Society of Missouri offered a first look this week at some of the hundreds of dogs seized in the July 8 raids and puppies born since. The Missouri group alerted the government to the dogfighting 18 months ago and coordinated rescues in two of the states. Humane Society video of the bust showed dogs missing ears and whole legs, or bearing deep scars and puncture wounds. It chronicle canines, some appearing malnourished, tethered on 2-inch wide collars to 25-pound log chains attached to spikes on dirt pads or overgrown weed patches. In some cases, the dogs' water supply was green with algae. "We saw severely mutilated dogs missing eyes, ears and limbs," said Tim Rickey, director of the Humane Society of Missouri's anti-cruelty task force. "Their condition is bad enough, but to know that three-legged dogs were forced to fight for their survival is too much." Four eastern Missouri men arrested as part of a federal crackdown pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and other crimes, admitting their roles in breeding, training, trafficking, fighting and destroying pit bulls in a lucrative dogfighting network. The four, along with a fifth codedefendant who pleaded guilty Sept. 4, were the first convictions from the raids. Authorities arrested 26 people and seized more than 500 dogs in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. Agents also seized dog conditioning equipment and "rape stands" used to strap females into place to be bred. Rickey said breeding is a critical part of the industry because fighting dogs don't live long, and new pups are needed to replenish the supply. It's a bleak future for any dog that fights, win or lose, he said. "The quitter gets killed, and the survivor, after two hours of fighting for his life, is taken home without medical attention and left to die in one or two days," Rickey said. The Humane Society has more than 400 dogs taken from suspects in eastern and western Missouri and southern Illinois, and another 100 puppies born since the raids. About 100 more seized in the other states are being held by other groups. Federal judges will determine who has rightful claims to the confiscated dogs.

Barnes begins a lecture series at the Dole Institute Wednesday. BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Bill Lacy, director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, wants to give all of its political speakers the "rock star treatment." "We invite a speaker, and we say 'you tell us when you can be here, and we will make it work for us," Lacy said. On campus, the Dole Institute provides opportunities for politicians and members of the media to speak to the community. The Dole Institute announced its leadership prize for 2009 on Sept. 9. University of Miami (Fla.) president Donna Shalala will receive the award later this fall, which honors leadership through honorable service. But the Dole Institute doesn't just lure speakers and give awards. It actively recruits political experts to be instructors. This fall Kay Barnes, former Kansas City, Mo., mayor and 1960 KU graduate, will be one of those instructors. Barnes will lead a study group for the Dole Institute of Politics. The group will examine decisions and challenges mayors make in small and big cities alike. "I want to talk about my experiences being mayor, some of the functions of being a mayor and give some description of each of those." Barnes said. Barnes said Dole Institute representatives approached her two or three years ago about leading a study group, but she put those plans on hold as she pursued a congressional seat, which she lost in 2008. She said both she and the institute worked out a plan to bring her on campus. The Dole Institute holds fall and spring study groups and occasionally brings in political figures to DOLE INSTITUTE speak to the community. These speakers have included Shalala, news anchor Tom Brokaw and former President Bill Clinton. Lacy said it was important for students to hear from politicians directly because students needed to get more involved in the political process. "Young people need to take a greater role in politics and their government," Lacy said. He said the Dole Institute was moving from a standard lecture with a prepared speech to an interview-style format. He said former Vice President Walter Mondale mentioned that he appreciated this new format after his visit in 2007. SUA STUDENT LECTURES "He said, 'Because you told me you would do an interview, and I wouldn't have to write a speech, or pay someone to write a speech, it made it much more comfortable for me to get on a plane and come here'." Lacy said. Student Union Activities also brings in political speakers. Its springtime Student Lecture Series aims to bring in a big-time speaker to campus, Stephanie Green, McPherson junior and social issues coordinator, said SUA was an organization with a deep history and a name recognized by talent agencies. She said her office was working right now on bringing in a speaker for the spring. "We've had that experience in the past," Green said. "We're well known. Speakers will want to come. A lot of agencies recognize SUA." Green said it was important for students to know what's going on around their world. She also said last year's speaker, broadcaster and former political adviser George Stephanapolous had a good reception on campus. "He was an amazing speaker," Green said. "We had an amazing crowd turnout." But SUA pays for its speakers where the Dole Institute typically does not. Keith Yehle, director of federal relations for the University and former legislative director for U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), said he preferred the model where the University didn't pay for talent. "The speakers you want to come here should come on their own." Yehle said. "Our members of Congress come here to talk to students, they don't ask for a fee. If we got into the habit of paying speakers, students will spend all their money and get a limited amount of speaker." The Dole Institute does, however, pay $25,000 to its recipient of the Dole Leadership prize. Lacy said recipients usually donated the money to a charity of their choice. He also said speakers might get a stipend if they are scheduled to appear with other speakers. Yehle has an extensive list of contacts in Washington, D.C., meaning he will sometimes make suggestions about speakers to Lacy. For instance, Yehle recommended Octavio Hinojosa Mier, the executive director for the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute and 1995 KU graduate, come speak. Mier spoke to KU students last Friday at a Pizza and Politics session. DEALING WITH CONTROVERSY Lacy said the Dole Institute could handle controversial views but wanted to make sure the conversation didn't turn extremely vitriolic and partisan. "Controversial not in the sense of the position that they take on an issue," Lacy said. "But we really emphasize being respectful of other points of view, of being civil and cordial." Lacy said he was disappointed when former President George H.W. Bush got heckled during his reception of the Dole Leadership prize last year. "That night when I went home, every Kansas City TV station led with President Bush being heckled at the University of Kansas, which makes all of us look not that particularly good." Yehle said he has received phone calls from people who are concerned about a speaker booking, but said he leaned toward the side of letting speakers speak. "It's about freedom of thought," Yehle said. "It's about academic investigation. You cannot be the University without hearing from everything." Edited by Tim Burgess BECOMING LEADERS When Barnes comes to campus, she said she expects to take full advantage of her platform. Barnes, who now leads a public leadership program at Park University, said she would draw on her experiences to discuss a variety of issues, including dealing with everyday "brush fires", with one community group opposing another. "One segment of the community getting into a fuss with another," she said. "Union issues, neighborhood issues, so, I always had to be prepared to respond in one way or another to those." Barnes begins her stint on cam pus Wednesday. INTERNATIONAL Raid kills wanted al-Qaida fugitive BY HAMOED OLAD HASSAN Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia — The U.S. helicopters, guns blazing, swooped over a convoy carrying a top al-Qaida fugitive in rural southern Somalia. Elite commandos rappelled to the ground, collected two bodies, and took off on a cloud of red dust. The raid took iust 15 minutes. Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, wanted for the 2002 car bombing of a beach resort in Kenya and an attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner, was killed in Monday's raid, according to U.S. and Somali officials. The helicopter assault underscored Washington's concerns that lawless Somalia is fast becoming a haven for terrorists, including foreigners who want to plot attacks beyond the African country's borders. Al-Shabab, a powerful local Islamist insurgent group with links to al Qaida, swiftly witted retaliation. "They will taste the bitterness of our response," a senior al-Shabab commander told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk publicly. Al-Shabah has foreign fighters in its ranks and seeks to impose a strict form of Islam in Somalia. Three senior U.S. officials familiar with the operation said Nabhan was killed. A fourth official said the attack was launched by forces from multiple U.S. military branches and included Navy SEALs, at least two Army assault helicopters and the involvement of two U.S. warships in the region for months.

"You have to be very calm and mentally capable of learning the offense and taking everything in. And he's a guy that's pretty laid back. That allows him to take everything in and roll with the punches." In just two games — both of which were lopsided Kansas victories — Opurum has displayed the qualities that originally attracted traditional football powerhouses such as Notre Dame and Florida when he was in high school. Opurum has rushed for 141 yards on 24 carries this season while totaling three rushing touchdowns in relief of Sharp, Kansas's starting running back. "He's a good one-two punch with Jake," offensive coordinator Ed Warriner said. "That's a good change up for us." AgainstUTEP on Saturday, Opurum carried the ball 16 times for 62 yards and a touchdown. In that game, he showed a versatility relatively unique amongst running backs: The speed to gash the middle of the defense and the size to power through smaller defenders. "I think I've done a good job when I actually do get in a game in taking advantage of my carries." Still, as both Warriner and coach Mark Mangino noted, Opurum is only a freshman. "Every day is probably something new for him," Mangino said. "He probably learns something on the practice fields or in TOBEN OPURUM Kansas running back the meeting rooms probably every day."

During the offseason. Opurum was listed on the depth But in the weeks leading up to Kansas' season opener against Northern Colorado. Opurum separated himself from Lewis to become the lone second-string running back. He hasn't relinquished the title since. "I think I've done a good job when I actually do get in a game in taking advantage of my carries," Opurum said. Warriner said the number of carries Opurum receives this season will depend on his continued progress and the situation of the game. His size, Warriner said, obviously plays a large part in the equation. But Sharp said that's far from the only reason he's seeing significant playing time early. "For a freshman, mentally is what's really set him apart and allowed him to play out there," Sharp said. "He's very mature for a freshman. If he keeps working hard we'll see some great things from him." Edited by Tim Burgess SOCCER Star players stay in Big 12 by refusing prestigious spot BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Both Dolinsky, a midfielder, and Johnson, a defender, were invited to participate in the United Soccer League's W-League combine this month, but turned the opportunity down because it conflicted with games against Oklahoma State and Oral Roberts University. The combine provides a chance for woman soccer players to train and play in front of professional coaches from different professional leagues, including the elite Women's Professional Soccer league. But both players decided it wasn't worth missing a conference matchup against Oklahoma State. A coveted spot in a professional combine wasn't enough to lure seniors Monica Dolinsky and Estelle Johnson away from their commitment to their team even for a weekend. t Follow Kansan writer Joel Petterson at twitter.com/ j.petter. "If it wasn't during conference, I definitely would have gone," Johnson said, "But it wasn't worth it to miss that game." "It was definitely a big decision, but the biggest thing is my commitment here," Dolinsky said, "And if we have a good season, that will only better our chances of being recognized." Dolinsky said some of her family advised her to attend the combine anyway, but she decided the game was still more important. The two said they still hope to attend a similar combine put on by the higher-level WPS in December, however, plans for that combine have not been confirmed. A Coach Mark Francis said both players deserved the invitation, and said he believed they should still get the opportunity to promote themselves at a professional level. "I think it's really dumb for the league to have a combine in September and invite college players," he said. "It makes no sense." Melanie Fitzgerald, director of W-League operations, said. Fitzgerald said the W-League timed the combine to cater to older players last year and decided to stick with the same time frame this year. The WPS held two combines last December, which required separate invitations from WPS coaches.

COMMENTARY Success dependent on Big 12 opponents BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com I've always been an ardent supporter of the Big 12. But early results this season are definitely testing my faith. Last year, when some of my buddies doubted the legitimacy of Texas Tech because it couldn't stop a high school offense, I defended it. I've been on the Big 12's side in way too many arguments. - Oklahoma State is obviously the biggest victim of last weekend, losing at home to Houston 45-35. The Cougars came out firing, leading at half 24-7, and weathered a Cowboy comeback to take down the No. 5 ranked team in the nation. We've seen Oklahoma score only 13 points in a loss to BYU. Texas was in a battle with Wyoming until the second half. That SEC vs. Big 12 debate? Yeah ... about that. The bottom of the Big 12 North looks even worse. Iowa State got shellacked by an Iowa team that needed two blocked field goals to beat Northern Iowa. Colorado gave up 54 points and 624 total yards to Toledo. Kansas State couldn't knock off the Ragin' Caunts of Louisiana Lafayette This all affects Kansas football in a few ways. First, a sub-standard Big 12 will not help Kansas' strength of schedule, a key factor in where it will be ranked in the polls. Kansas could lose just once in the regular season, lose in the Big 12 championship and not end up in a BCS bowl. Ask Missouri fans about 2008 if you want to know how much that hurts. Something about Kansas getting into the Orange Bowl despite losing to the Tigers two weeks before. Second, it could hurt its ability to bring in quality recruits. Last year, it seemed as though ABC had a big-time Big 12 game on Saturday night week in and week out. High school football players watch those games, and you know some of the skill players on offense drol about the possibilities in the Big 12. If the Big 12 can't make Saturday night quite as often this year, maybe a few more stud recruits will head to the SEC. Despite all the hatred built up for Missouri or Kansas State, Kansas fans should cheer for them to win their non-conference games. Seeing Indiana winless in December might be entertaining for some, but it won't help Kansas get where it wants to go: a quality bowl eame Now none of this really matters at all if Kansas gets upset anywhere along the road. Duke may not be a huge challenge, but Southern Mississippi has looked impressive in its two victories so far. Kansas must avoid the upset bug. But in the end, Kansas' success is tied to the success of the teams in the Big 12.

Other,notable sports cities soon to receive a similar fate include Washington,D.C., Atlanta and Pittsburgh, among others. The Web sites are unquestionably a strong step toward ESPN's aim of near monopolization of the sports world. Yet as the bigbellied Goliaths of Bristol clink cups and cackle in their triumphs, the lowly stalwarts of the newspaper industry can only weep in dismay. These localized Web sites are simply reeling in the final days of the newspaper as an outlet for sports information. Of course, with every beginning there is always a conclusion looming close by.

Reiss joins an all-star cast at the new Web site, featuring other esteemed writers Peter Gammons, Michael Smith and Bill "The Sports Guy" Simmons.

Brian Roberts and Cesar Izturis had three hits apiece for the Orioles, who trailed 5-0 in the third before scoring six runs over a three-inning stretch against Niemann (12-6). Niemann, who allowed six runs and a career-high 11 hits in 4 1-3 innings, lost for the first time in nine starts since July 26. It was his shortest start since June 21, and the six earned runs matched a career high, set in his first outing of the season against Baltimore. Wieters put the Orioles ahead for good with a two-run single in the fifth, Scott hit his team-high 22nd homer in the seventh and Wieters clinched it with a three-run drive off Chad Bradford in the eighth. Tampa Bay's Pat Burrell broke out of a 1-for-22 slump with a homer and four RBIs, and Ben Zobrist fell a home run short of the cycle. But the Rays lost for the 12th time in 13 games.

The team finished third overall. "This was the most rounded-off team effort we've had since I've been here at Kansas," Coach Kit Grove said. "Three players in the top 10, I definitely would've taken that before the week started for sure." Drake won the tournament with a three-round total score of 852 strokes. Nebraska, the only other Big 12 school in the tournament, finished second with a total score of 855. Kansas was right in there with a total score of 859. Kansas was lead by Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, who fired a team-tying low score of 69 in the second round and finished in fifth place overall individually with a three-round score of 213. The tournament fielded 12 teams and featured three rounds of golf with all the teams playing 36 holes Monday and then playing the final round of 18 holes Tuesday. "The course was playing hard today because there was a lot of wind; I just tried to hang in there after being three over through the first six holes." Barbee said. He did more than just "hang in there" with a 3-under score of 33 on the back nine. "I was really proud of Nate's play today because he struggled in the beginning, starting off at three or four over, then battled back to get to par." Grove said. The low score of 69 for the Jayhawks was matched in the final round by Alex Gutesha, Greenwood Village, Colo., freshman. For the tournament, Gutesha tied for 10th overall in his first collegiate action.

"He drives the ball straight and plots his way around the golf course. I don't think he'll ever shoot a bad score for me." All the players' total scores ranged from 213 to 219.

The Red Sox have won six straight since returning to Fenway Park after Labor Day. BY JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press BOSTON — Daisuke Matsuzaka returned from a three-month stint on the disabled list and pitched six shutout innings on Tuesday night to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, their likely first-round playoff opponent. He left with a 2-0 lead and received a standing ovation when he was pulled after walking Kendry Morales to lead off the seventh, with Red Sox manager Terry Francona joining in as he walked to the mound. Matsuaka, who was boomed off the mount his last time out at Fenway, waved his Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth and gave up an RBI double to Erick Aybar before Howie Kendrick hit a soft roller to third to end the game. An 18-game winner last year, Matsuzaka (2-5) did not allow a hit through four innings and got a standing ovation when he was relieved after one batter in the seventh. In all, Matsuzaka gave up three hits and three walks while striking out five for his first win since June 2. The Angels won eight of their previous 11 and entered the night with a six-game lead over Texas in the AL West; Boston led the Rangers by $4 \frac{1}{2}$ in the wild-card race. If the standings hold, the Red Sox and Angels would meet in the first round of the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Lackey gave up three runs — two earned — on eight hits and three walks, striking out six and leaving after J.D. Drew tripled and scored on Jason Bay's single to make it 3-0 in the eighth. Ortiz hit Jose Arredondo's second pitch to straightaway center to surpass Frank Thomas atop the all-time DH home run list. Matsuzaka was the MVP of the World Baseball Classic for the second time this spring, but he never found his form when the season started. He failed to complete six innings in any of his eight starts and had an 8.23 ERA when he was placed on the disabled list with right shoulder problems on June 21. That has worked out too well for the Angels, who have lost 12 of their last 13 playoff games against Boston dating to 1986 and are 0-4 all-time in postseason series against the Red Sox.

Nielsen Media Research says that's the biggest audience for a prime-time television show since the "American Idol" finale in May. Not only was Leno's debut heavily publicized, but he piggybacked on one of Monday's biggest stories. Leno had scheduled Kanye West, who was pressed to explain why he interrupted Taylor Swift the night before on the MTV Video Music Awards. OBITUARY That's a big boost for NBC Associated Press Swayze, 57, dies of cancer LOS ANGELES — Patrick Swaye personified a particular kind of masculine grace both on and off screen, from his roles in films like "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" to the way he carried himself in his long fight with pancreatic cancer. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months." Annett Wolf said in a statement Swayze died from the illness on Monday in Los Angeles, his publicist said. He was 57. Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from an especially deadly form of cancer. He continued working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot. Monday evening. She declined to give details. Swayze said he chose not to use painkillers while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran this year, but A&E said it reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season. When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease. "I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking." Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it." A. ASSOCIATED PRESS Patrick Swayze, portraying Johnny Castle, holds Jennifer Grey, portraying Baby Houseman, in a scene from "Dirty Dancing." The actor died Monday after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer and continued acting after the diagnosis.

EDITORIAL BOARD Athletics shows support for academics with donation HARVARD STADIUM Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Roles are reversed as Kansas Athletics cheers on academics with a $40 million donation to the University announced Sept. 2. This money is coming from a new seating expansion that is a profitable way to merge both aspects of the University. Kansas Athletics should be celebrated for its contribution. The Athletics Department announced plans for an addition to Memorial Stadium; the seating expansion will be called The Gridiron Club. According to a University press release it will seat about 3,000 fans, and will be built at the east side of the stadium. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said this new seating section could raise funds for the department's $40 million donation to the University for academics. "We believe revenue derived from those seats will fund, at minimum, the construction and the donation to the University," Marchiony said. In a trying economy, this boost in funds can be used by the University to improve various programs or possibly dampen the effect of raising tuition rates. No plans have been finalized for the use of the donation, but the Athletics Department is clear "Kansas Athletics really wanted to do something that would help the University. This seemed like a perfect way to help athletics and the University as a whole." "It's not our intent to be involved in any way with how that money,is spent," he said. KANSAN'S OPINION This donation is an example of the camaraderie that should continue to exist between athletics and academics. Though this is hardly the first display of the partnership between Many students don't realize the great amount of funding athletics gives to the University on an annual basis. Athletics funded approximately $9 million last year. athletics and academics, it is a relationship that needs student support. "Every time tuition goes up, our contribution goes up as well," Marchiony said. This annual contribution goes to tuition, room and board, books. fees, etc. Also, Kansas Athletics Inc.pays the University for any scholarships given to student athletes and has an ongoing partnership with the KU Cancer Center The relationship is "nothing new" according to Marchiony, but the donation of an extra $40 million was a way to give a nod to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. "Athletics is a big fan of the chancellor and her vision of the future at KU," Marchiony said. He called the donation "a good indication of our support for that vision." The Athletics Department should be applauded for its generosity. This donation will create a sense of unity within the University. Just as fans cheer on the Jayhawks, Kansas Athletes is reiterating its support for students. — Kara Walker for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON HARRISON FORD SAYS HE'S OPEN TO MAKING A 5TH INDIANA JONES MOVIE.

A boy INDIANA JONES AND THE CONFERENCE PAPER Reverting to driving, which is just as expensive without any of the benefits, isn't any more appealing. MAYBE THIS IS THE ACADEMPIAN IN ME, BUT I WOULD HATE THAT! CAMPUS Independent study fails to deliver under current policy I'm a commuter. It just makes more sense for me to live in Olathe. My family and job are there, the crime rates are low and it's where all my high school friends still live and work. But sometimes I get tired of being an out-of-towner. Despite all of this, the bus lines are notorious for being up to an hour late during winter and have recently increased in price. The K-10 Connector offers plenty of benefits: handicap seating, bike racks, time for homework (or sleep) and, on the newer buses, individual air conditioning and lighting. The number of buses has even increased to accommodate more sitting room. This month, the $15 bus tickets became invalid — whether you had a chance to use them or not — and now only the electronic stubs, costing $22.50, are available. The new weekly price is almost the same as a tank of gas, and $6 to purchase an individual round trip is definitely more expensive than driving. The result is a more expensive, less reliable mode of transportation that looks less and less appealing to poor college students. COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES MELISSA LYTTON With commuting no longer looking like such a great option, I looked into the University's independent study program. I was skeptical at first. I've taken online classes elsewhere that consisted solely of open-book quizzes and halfhearted discussion boards. To their credit, the University's online classes are just as challenging and fulfilling as those classes taught on campus. But of course there are drawbacks. According to the University's continuing education Web site, Independent study classes don't count toward establishing a full-time student status, even though they now conform to the same time-limit as regular classes. So even though I'm taking 15 credit hours, I only count as a part-time student. That caveat isn't a big deal, unless someone decides to enroll in only independent study classes. If a student works full-time, needs to go on maternity leave or just can't afford the commute anymore, independent study is a logical thing to do. But then, according to the system, they aren't actually attending the University. This means they don't qualify for financial aid from the University or the government, because they are no longer technically college students. Theoretically, this is the sort of situation that the University's monthly payment plan is for, except that the department of continuing education isn't part of that plan. They're trying to put together their own for next year, but for now it's one lump sum due without aid. When I e-mailed the department for advice, I was told to put my tuition and textbook cost on a credit card and slowly pay it off from there. Considering all the effort the University puts into educating students on debt, I was shocked. The University of Kansas is a wonderful school, and students come from all over the world to study here. But it's a shame that students only 30 miles away are ghosts to the system. Lytton is a Kodiak, Ala., senior in creative writing. CULTURE Why names matter W Whenever a new seni er starts, it's always exciting to meet new friends. However, identifying new faces and memorizing different names can be difficult. Many Chinese friends of mine prefer being called their English names rather than their Chinese ones. Some of them have English names to fit Western culture; some have one because they're easier to remember; and others want one because they simply can't stand their Chinese name. I fall under the first category. I enjoy being able to call myself whatever name I want. Before I chose the name Josie (after a compelling female lawyer in a Hong Kong TV drama), I was Pricilla (given by my parents at birth), Nicola (inspired by my friend) and Cathy (my favorite cartoon when I was 12 years old). For instance, my Chinese name is Ho, Chi Cheng. The first word is my last name, Ho (the last name goes first in Chinese culture). Chi is a kind of white flower and Cheng means "sunny". Living in an East-meets-West culture inevitably shapes our unique lifestyle and brings us rich elements in life. Yet we should still accept and appreciate our unique cultural heritage. Chinese words are sophisticated and profound, and different combinations often have different meanings. I could never deny how miraculous Chinese names are. I love my Chinese name — as do my friends — and I'm always excited to hear foreigners ask what my Chinese name is. Not only do they want to get to know me, but they are also interested in my heritage and culture. When I first got Facebook, my profile name was my Chinese one. I am impressed when some INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE JOSIE HO of my American friends call me Chi Cheng instead of Josie. They even ask me to translate their English names into Chinese. "I got a Chinese name and it's super cool," they'll tell people. And yes, it is super cool. Chinese names are incredibly meaningful and symbolic. Having an English name is simply another identifier, but it should never be a replacement. Some Chinese even refuse to have English names because they think having two names squanders their individual uniqueness. It's absolutely OK to have more than one name, as long as you don't forget or discard your original one. It's easier to memorize English names in Western society. I was so used to being called Josie that when I went back to Macau last summer it was strange to hear my Chinese name again. * In Chinese culture, we believe a good name can bring us good fortune. Parents tend to give names based on how they would like their children to be. So can names really be personality predictors? Next time you meet someone from China, make sure to ask for his or her name as well as its meaning. Does it match his or her personality? It may be hard to remember, but it never hurts to try. Ho is a Macau, China, junior in journalism. FROM WASHINGTON BY RUSTY SHELLHORN Washington State U. Daily Evergreen 'Freshman 15' remains an inevitable fact of college life I stood nervously on the cold locker room floor. My eyes wandered across the lockers and I dibubly gazed into the next room — the scale room. I crept to the scale and placed one foot on it after the other, watching my weight spin the dial as furiously as a top. As the numbers whirred past, the steadily spinning needle became a condemning swirl of disappointment. "I lost 250 pounds in five weeks!" a superimposed message over my before-and-after pictures would read. Then, as swift and unforgiving as I had imagined it to be, the scale confirmed what I already knew — I gained weight. I could already see myself on an Atkins or Nutrisystem commercial, spilling my guts about how I had gained gruesome amounts of weight at a young age and then lost it all by eating nothing but MREs and celery sticks. However, I wasn't the only one who accumulated fat faster than a Beverly Hills liposuction clinic. Freshmen usually enter college life as lean, mean athletic machines, only to be introduced to the caloric compilation of dining services and Busch Light. In all reality, students spend more time on beer runs than real runs. The result was a sad fulfillment of the "Freshman 15" cliche — waistlines expand, body fat percentages grow and the number of Michael Moore look-a-likes increase. If we don't watch it, we get fat. Of course, everyone knows weight gain is an ever-growing problem (pun intended) in today's lazy society. With an extensive array of TV dinners, dollar menus and high-definition TV, Americans have already given everyone a 20-pound handicap by birth, sending doctors and scientists screaming. And since we have no concern for this potbelly apocalypse, after tacking on the "Freshman 15," most of us tend to just give up. But weight loss is about taking responsibility, maintaining a nutritional diet and good exercise habits. And even if you've fallen you can always get up. Weight gains will happen. You will discover the miracles of Panda Express and Stouffer's. And you will, like me, fear the scale. But that's acceptable — for now — because we're all in the same (sinking) boat. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinionkansan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

Dolinsky spent the summer living with a host family in order to compete ASSOCIATED PRESS with the team. Their form during the summer was enough to merit a recommendation from their coach for the combine. Thirty-five players out of the 128 combine participants were drafted into the WPS last year. This year only 90 players are participating in the combine, intensifying the competition. The WPS has existed for one year, but it is the highest-level women's soccer league in the world and attracts stars from across the globe. For Dolinsky and Johnson, it is a long-held dream that could be within their grasp. "What else could you ask for, you know — just still doing what you love doing." Dolinsky said. Francis said only one other player from Kansas, Holly Gault, had attended a similar professional combine during his tenure as coach. He believes his two current captains have the potential to continue their careers past college. "When they go to the combine, obviously they need to show well," he said, "But I think they both definitely have the ability to play in the league."

Haley is still looking for a solid lineup for Sunday's game. F NFL Chiefs search for receivers Coach hopes players will be ready before weekend game BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs shuffled in a new pair of hands Tuesday in coach Todd Haley's continuing quest to locate an acceptable set of wide receivers. Still unclear is who would be throwing the ball. Haley said it was too early to know if quarterback Matt Cassel will miss a second straight start this weekend because of an injury to his left knee. But he is hopeful of making a decision earlier than Sunday, when the decision was made just hours before the season-opener at Baltimore. If Cassel remains out, Brodie Croyle would make a second start, this one against Oakland, after earning generally high marks in the 38-24 loss to the Ravens. "Matt is doing everything he can to be ready," Haley said. "I would hope I would know a little sooner this week, although right now I can't give a definitive answer. But the player's doing everything he can to be ready, which generally helps speed the healing process." In the meantime, receiver Bobby Wade, a six-year NFL veteran with stops in Chicago, Tennessee and Minnesota, was signed. The Chiefs waived Turk McBride, who had been playing linebacker after being a starter most of last year at defensive end. SCOOTER'S COFFEE HOUSE How would you like your drink? Hot? Iced?

WWW.GUMBYSPIZZA.COM • 785-841-5000 COLLEGE FOOTBALL ACC II 19 DUKE 19 ASSOCIATED PRESS Duke quarterback Sean Reinfend throws a third quarter touchdown against Army during an NCAA college football game in West Point, N.Y., on Saturday. Dwight, 35-19. Duke freshman to see more play BY AARON BEARD Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. — Thad Lewis probably knew hed hear the term "quarterback controversy" this week after the way backup Sean Renfree played in Duke's weekend win at Army. He just won't let himself think of it that way. "I knew going into the season that Sean was going to play," Lewis said Tuesday. "So there's not a controversy at all, but it is a competition. We compete, but we make each other better and we want to make this team better." That's what coach David Cutcliffe is aiming for heading into this weekend's trip to No. 22 Kansas. He has repeatedly heaped praise on Renfree, a redshirt freshman, even as he's gone out of his way to point out that Lewis is still No. 1 on the depth chart. DAVID CUTCLIFFE North Carolina coach "You can see now why I've been saying all along that, regardless of play, I wanted Sean Renfee to play." will play." "But you can see now why I've been saying all along that, regardless of play. I wanted Sean Renfree to play. I should've played him in the first game (against Richmond) and didn't. I had plans to play him without a doubt at Army. I have plans to play him again this week. He He's also made it clear that Renfew has earned the right to play each week. "We've got a starting quarterback." Cutcliffe said. "The circumstances can be just like a pitcher in baseball. If a pitcher needs relief help, he's going to get relief help. If he can pitch a complete game, he's usually left in there. Still, while Lewis is saying all the right things about supporting Rentree, the difference between their play at Army couldn't have escaped him. "We've seen (Renfree) in practice and know what he can do in practice." running back Requan Boyette. "But to see him Lewis, a four-year starter, went just 5-for-16 for 60 yards before Renfrey got his shot. Renfrey went 7-for-8 for 106 yards and two touchdowns, with one of those coming on his first collegiate throw. That — and back-to-back interception returns for touchdowns from Leon Wright late in the game — helped the Blue Devils (1-1) turn a 14-13 lead into a 15-19 victory. out there against live bullets and everything moving faster than it does in practice was very positive. It just showed us that he can do it throughout the game." While Renfree's play will push Lewis, Cutcliffe said it wasn't like the senior wasn't already working hard to get better. "It's not been a matter of not being focused or energized or motivated," Cutcliffe said. "I think it's probably human nature that when you see your backup playing pretty well, the adrenaline flows. That's just kind of normal and that's OK. That's good for anybody." Lewis figures the competition can't hurt. After all, it's still his job to lose. "When you've got two quarterbacks who are on point," Lewis said, "that just drives the offense to be better than they are right now."

ERNST & YOUNG Quality In Everything We Do 10B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 MLB BUCK 14 Kansas City 4 Kansas City 9 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City Royals' David DeJesus, right, celebrates with John Buck, left, and Alex Gordon after hitting a three-run home run against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, in Detroit. The victory was the Royals' fifth straight against the division-leading Tigers. Last-place Royals defeat division-leading Tigers ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Jim Leyland is out of answers. Not only did his division-leading Detroit Tigers drop a fifth straight game to the last place Kansas City Royals, 11-1 on Tuesday night, he has to fill another spot in his patchwork rotation. Jarrod Washburn lasted just one inning — the shortest start of his career — and gave up four runs before it became obvious that his sore left knee wasn't up to pitching. The Tigers lost Nate Robertson (groin) and Armando Galarragan (elbow) last week, while Dontrelle Willis and Jeremy Bonderman have been unavailable for almost the entire season. "I don't have any information for you right now, because I don't have any information for myself," Leyland said. "I have no idea who is going to pitch. We'll get together and try to figure something out." Washburn (9-9) struck out David Dejesus to start the game, but Willie Bloomquist doubled and Billy Butler and Miguel Olivo walked to load the bases. A passed ball allowed the first run to score before Alberto Callaspo hit a three-run homer into the Kansas City bulpen in left-center field. "When you've got a pitcher on the ropes like that, you have to finish him off," Dejesus said. "Even though he's hurt, we still have to play the game." Washburn finished the inning, but was replaced by Zach Miner for the second, and fell to 1-3 with a 7.33 ERA in eight starts since being acquired from Seattle on July 31. "Shortly after the strikeout, we could tell he was in pain." Leyland said. "We'll see what happens, but it seems pretty obvious to me that, at this point, he unpittable." The win was Kansas City's fourth over Detroit in the last eight days, and Robinson Tejeda's second in less than a week. "The Tigers aren't as at full strength as Jim would like them, and we understand that," Kansas City manager Trey Hillman said. "But they are still playing for something, and we don't feel sorry for them, just like no one feels sorry for us for being in last place." Tejeda (3-1) allowed one run and two hits in five innings after shutting them out for six innings on Sept. 9. "I don't think I'm an ace or anything like that," Tejeda said. "I'm just going out there and throwing the ball, and I've gotten the opportunity to beat them two times in a week." ML8 Marlins pitchers outduel Cardinals ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — One pitch kept Adam Wainright from his 19th win. It kept the St. Louis Cardinals' magic number at 10, too. Dan Uggla golfed a two-run homer on an ankle-high curveball for the go-ahead hit in the sixth inning and rookie Sean West had a season-high nine strikeouts while outpitching Wainwright in the Florida Marlins' 2-1 victory on Tuesday. "I had a blast," West said. "The main thing was I wanted to attack those guys and I said 'Here you go' and got some swings, got some strikeouts, and all around a good performance." Wainwright (18-8) allowed two runs in seven innings and struck out eight, not quite good enough to make him the major leagues' first 19-game winner. He had been 6-0 with a 1.99 ERA in seven starts since Aug. 8. "Almost every night with this team that's going to win." Wainrwick said. "The guy on the other side pitched a great game." Wainwright said catcher Yadier Molina would have had to block the pitch in the dirt if Uggla had not made contact. Uggla wasn't arguing the point. "He didn't make a mistake." Uggla said. "I probably wasn't supposed to hit the ball out of the ballpark, but somehow I did and I'll take it." The 23-year-old West (7-5) topped his previous strike-out best of seven in six strong innings. The 6-foot-8 left-hander escaped with minimal damage in the fifth when the Cardinals loaded the bases with one out and the middle of the order coming up. Albert Pujols settled for a sacrifice fly to give St. Louis the lead, but Matt Holliday struck out to end the inning. "I kind of gave a little smirk when Pujols came up and the crowd went crazy," West said. "I got a slider in at his feet and he popped it up and that was huge right there because I'm pretty sure he can hit it out of the park pretty easy. "Holliday looked a little susceptible to sliders, that's what I fed him, and I got him twice." Leo Nunez, the fourth Florida pitcher, worked the ninth for his 21st save in 27 chances. The Marlins entered $ \frac{5}{2} $ games behind Colorado for the NL wild card. The NL Central-leading Cardinals have lost four of five. St. Louis is 26-20 against left-handers, but 12-5 since acquiring Holliday on July 24. Ryan Ludwick thought hitters chased too many sliders out of the strike zone. "I don't like our lineup against anybody if we help the pitcher as much as we did tonight," manager Tony La Russa said.

Reynolds and nine other friends from his hometown created the "Nerds in Disguise" invitation to attend the MIV Video Music Awards and walk down the red carpet. "It was really soft carpet," Reynolds said. Reynolds and his friends will receive personally enriched Monman awards. Adam Buhler/KANSAN From shooting a promo to walking the red carpet BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com Among the Janet Jackson, Kanye Wests and Taylor Swifts at New York's Radio City Music Hall for this year's MTV Video Music Awards sat University freshman Shane Reynolds and nine of his high school friends. For most of the show, the group blended into the audience, politely clapping with the announcement of each award. That is, until they were announced as Moonman winners "When they announced our names we all just went crazy," Reynolds said. "There were people all over staring at us like we were nuts until they realized it was us that won. But then random people started coming up to us and giving us high fives and hugs and stuff. It was pretty cool." Last weekend, Reynolds and his friends accepted an MTV Video Music Award for "Best Performance in a Pepsi Rock Band Video" for a video that won a contest sponsored by MTV, Pepsi and the makers of the Rock Band video game. The group of Glenwood High School graduates from Chatham, Ill., who are now attending different colleges throughout the country, can go down in VMA history. They are the first recipients of a coveted Moonman award for a video featuring only Rock Band video game instruments. They are also the first people to receive a VMA for any type of consumer contest. As the grand prize winners of the contest, the group of friends were flown to New York City and provided hotel accommodations so they could attend the 26th annual MTV Video Music Awards. They each also received $600 for spending expenses and gift baskets from MTV and Pepsi. Best of all, they got their faces broadcast over primetime television during a 30-second commercial in the middle of the live awards show. BIG WINNERS The day after online voting ended, Reynolds and his friends received calls from MTV telling them their video was the winner. "I was shocked — I didn't even know what to say," Reynolds said. "Kids from central Illinois don't win things like this." He said he believed one advantage the group had in the online voting was the fact that they had so many people in different places spreading the word for a common cause. Reynolds' high school classmates now attend colleges from Colorado to Florida. That allowed them to rally students at different universities to vote for their video.

Planted in the corner of the roof overlooking Smith Hall, behind a brown iron gate, are whiskey barrels overflowing with sage and other garden herbs. On the right are white buckets with vines climbing up wires, sprouting with bell peppers, jalapeños and tomatoes. Most days, the elevator carries staff and food between levels. But in the summer and fall months, the elevator serves a different purpose: it allows KU Dining staff to reach a rooftop garden and harvest herbs and vegetables for daily specials on campus. BENN TUFF CHEF Traver said she began the Union Rooftop Garden last year in an effort to make the department more sustainable. And it all goes into the food on campus. Around that same time, Traver started going to the local Farmers' Market and communicating with farmers throughout Kansas. "Over the last two years, we've been watching the distances our food travels more closely," said Janna Traver, executive chef with KU Dining Services. She said the effort to support local food had doubled since last year. Now, about 10 percent of KU Dining Services' purchases are locally grown or processed.

ACTIVISM Hundreds expected at rally against violence BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com Hundreds of community members are expected to march through downtown Lawrence tonight to protest sexual violence in the community. The march will be part of the Take Back the Night rally that will begin at 5 p.m. in South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, and end at 10 p.m. in Buford M. Watson, Jr. Park, Sixth and Tennessee streets. The event is Lawrence's version of the internationally held rally, according to www.takebackthenight.org. Take Back the Night is a nonprofit organization that hosts rallies to protest sexual violence against women worldwide. Jesse Jones, the event's organizer and an employee of Women's Transitional Care Services, said approximately 200 men, women and children attended the event last year. He said nearly half of the attendees were students. He said students were an important part of the rally because they made up a significant portion of the Lawrence population. According to the organization's Web site, the Lawrence rally will include local food vendors, live music, children's activities and guest speakers. The event will also feature displays from several organizations including the Clothesline Project, the Pantyline Project, and the Silent Witness Project, among displays from other community organizations. Each display will center on raising awareness of domestic violence. "There is a need to create solidarity between students and the broader community on the issues of safety and accountability," Jones said. Jones said the event would be family friendly, but that the speak out circle would be uncensored. During the speak out people will be invited to openly share their experiences with sexual violence. The event will conclude with a candlelight vigil in Buford Vatson Park, according to the organization's Web site.

Associated Press Autopsy released in Yale grad student's death ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Yale graduate student whose body was found in hidden in a wall in her lab building was suffocated, according to autopsy released Wednesday, hours after a "person of interest" was questioned and released. Dr. Wayne Carver's office released the results three days after the body of 24-year-old Annie Le was found in a Yale medical school research building. Carver had previously announced Le's death as a homicide. The office says her death was caused by "traumatic asphyxia due to neck compression". That means the cause could include a choke hold or some other form of suffocation caused by a hand or an object, such as a pipe, though authorities are not releasing details on her manner of death. YALB Earlier Wednesday, police released a Yale animal research technician from custody after collecting DNA samples and questioning him in Le's killing. Raymond Clark III had been taken in Tuesday night at his apartment in Middletown, Conn., and was released to his attorney, New Haven police said. The attorney, David Dworski, of Fairfield, said his client is "committed to proceeding appropriately with the authorities." He would not comment further. Investigators are hoping to figure out within days whether Clark can be ruled out as the killer. He has been described as a person of interest, not a suspect, in Le's death. Her body was found Sunday, which was to have been her wedding day. Freshman Diana Stoianov, 17, and other students hold a candlelight vigil for graduate student Annie Le on the Yale University campus. Monday, Le's body was found in a medical building where she worked, and police are now treating the case as a homicide. New Haven Police Chief James Lewis said police were hoping to compare DNA taken from Clark's hair, fingernails and saliva with more than 150 pieces of evidence collected from the crime scene.

"It had so many key elements of a fun video — great music, a rocking party, pool scene, a fire and fireworks", Agathoklis said. "They looked like they were really having fun." CELEBRITY After arriving in New York on Tuesday, the group recorded the MTV television spot that aired live during the awards show. They shot the promo in the MTV Times Square studio, where Total Request Live used to be filmed before it was canceled in 2008. "We were filming the prom when someone looked out the window and saw our video playing on Times Square," Reynolds said. "There were people standing around watching it so we started knocking on the window and waving. They recognized us and started taking pictures of us. It was pretty cool." for the live event the chance to walk down the same iconic red carpet usually reserved for celebrities. The afternoon of the awards show, Reynolds said, the group was invited to view a dress rehearsal for the live event. They also had "It was very soft carpet, I almost felt like I was walking on a cloud," Reynolds said. "There were lights flashing all around from people taking pictures. It was just awesome." "There were literally thousands of people lining the streets and we definitely got some weird looks from some of them," Reynolds said. "People could see our red carpet passes so they knew we were involved with the show, but I think a lot of them were wondering 'Why are these guys dressed up like nerds?'" Shortly before the show, the group took their seats at Radio City Music Hall and were surrounded by celebrities. The awards show featured performances from Beyoncé, Green Day, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, to name a few. "They recognized us and started taking pictures of us. It was pretty cool." At about the halfway point in the show, right after the Green Dav performance, the "Nerds in Disguise" were announced as winners of a VMA. Their promotional spot then aired, where Reynolds and friends could be seen in the MTV Times Square studio thanking all the viewers for helping them win a Moonman, followed by a short clip Reynolds and his friends decided to stay in character for the event, and dressed up like the nerds in their video. Yet, while they were greeted at the red carpet with plenty of handshakes and high-fives, they also got their fair share of stares. SHANE REYNOLDS Chatham, III. freshman of their video Along with about 200 residents from Chatham, Jill Reynolds watched the show from a watch party at a local bar. "When they came on, the only thing you could hear was cheering and hollering. It was very exciting." Reynolds said he thoroughly enjoyed the show from the opening Michael Jackson tribute to the closing remarks, but one act in particular still sticks out in his mind. she said. "The best performance was when Jay-Z came out to close the show with 'Empire State of Mind.' That was amazing," he said. As for the big story of that night, when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech, Reynolds said America should have seen it coming. "At first we all were shocked and thought that it might have been staged," Reynolds said. "But that's who Kanye is; whenever he's near the spotlight he's going to find a way to get in it. And he definitely did that night." IN RETROSPECT Looking back on the trip, Reynolds said he thought it would be one of the most memorable experiences of his life. "It was awesome just walking through New York City and seeing all these landmarks that you always hear about, like the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty," he said. Besides the celebrities that packed Radio City Music Hall for the awards show, Reynolds said he saw several famous people walking the streets and felt as if he fit right in. "Being treated like a celebrity is unbelievable," Reynolds said. "All of the promoters treated us great and the people of New York are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They get a bad rap sometimes, but they are really nice people there." On top of all the memorable events from the trip, Giganti said another great part was reuniting with his high school buddies and hanging out like the old days. "The whole thing was just great, from the time we got there until the time we left." Giganti said. "I really didn't want to leave because it was just so awesome." Reynolds said MTV is currently having the Moonman award engraved and will ship it to him within a few weeks. Reynolds said he couldn't wait to receive the award and planned to keep it in his residence hall room. When he was shooting the television spot, Reynolds actually got to hold a real Moonman, and he said he was impressed with how solid the statue seemed. "That was one solid trophy, I'll say that," he said. "I was shaking just holding it." Edited by Alicia Banister MAKING THE VIDEO: In the music video that won Reynolds and his friends the MTV contest, the group goes by the name of "Nerds in Disguise." They perform Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" using only instruments from Rock Band. The video can still be viewed online at www.pepsirockband.com. Reynolds said the group knew from the beginning they wanted to depict a college party in their video. Making the party look realistic, however, became a challenge within the contest rules, which stated that all video submissions had to incorporate both Pepsi and Rock Band products, could only feature music from a pre-approved list of songs and could have no more than 10 people shown. "The problem is you can't have a party with only 10 people, "Reynolds said, "so we decided to double each of us up to make it look like there were actually 20 people." In the video, each person plays two characters: a nerd and a rock star. Reynolds said the main message was there could be unity between two cliques of different people, such as rock stars and nerds. The party-goers can be seen downing plenty of Pepsi in keg-party fashion. IMS "Nerds in Disguise is a gifted group of college students, aspiring film makers and Rock Band lovers with real talent," said Christina Glorioso, vice president of marketing partnerships for MTV Games, in a press release announcing the group as winners." Their video was really creative, and clearly the fans agreed." REYNOLDS' ITINERARY: SIX DAYS IN NYC Sept. 8: Reynolds arrives in New York and tours MTV's Headquarters.

The number of bus riders has increased since the Lawrence Transit System converged with the KU on Wheels bus service. Jenny Terrorl/ANKSM BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com The coordination of KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System is finally on track — and with promising results. The monthly Lawrence Transit Ridership Report showed that the Lawrence bus system, known as the T, increased its ridership 37 percent this August, with 48,313 riders. That is compared with last August, which had 35,349 riders. Before coordinating with KU on Wheels, there was major concern about the T's survival because of funding issues and lack of use, transit administrator Robert Nugent said. The situation improved when Lawrence residents voted for a 0.2 percent sales tax increase in November to help fund the transit system. KU on Wheels and the T began their partnership in Aug. 2008 when they allowed riders of one system to ride the other system for free. Since the T coordinated its routes with KU on Wheels this summer, ridership has increased Nugent said the addition of Route 11, which connects downtown, the main campus and retail stores at 31st and Iowa streets, caused the jump in ridership. "It appears that Route 11 has accommodated the needs of both KU students and city riders," he said. According to the Lawrence Transit Web site, Route 11 is the first coordinated transit route between KU on Wheels and the T. It began running Aug. 17. Several apartment complexes, including The Exchange, which opened this fall, are on the route. Derek Meier, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said students benefited greatly from the alliance. "It has provided students who live downtown to have service more often and longer than ever before," he said. Meier said the bus systems have added 150 hours of service. Students will still be able to use the T for free when KU buses aren't running, such as during evenings, Saturdays and school breaks, according to the Lawrence Transit Web site. Benjamin Wright, Eudora freshman, uses the T on occasion and said the coordination was a great idea. He said 'in his experience, the T was usually on time and efficient. His only complaint was the lack of hand sanitizer on both KU on Wheels and the T. "They should get some hand sanitizer with a thousand people getting on and off those buses every day," he said. The Web site warned that KU buses did not have bike racks, an adjustment that city bus riders would have to make. Meier said KU buses would not be getting bike racks in the future. "The KU transit system is extremely high volume, high ridership. And that doesn't work well with bike racks because a bus can hold 70 to 80 people, but there's only room for two bikes," he said. "It becomes problematic for passengers to get onto a bus and expect to have a bike storage spot." System to provide all route maps and schedules in one place.

The Texas Court of Criminal Hood Appeals ruled 6-3 that convicted murderer Charles Dean Hood should have raised concerns about the affair between the now-retired court officials in earlier appeals. The ruling overturned a lower court's recommendation that Hood be able to make his case for a new trial based on the affair. Hood "Our argument is that they had this information and should have raised it in the earlier writ," said current prosecutor John Rolater, the chief of Collin County's appellate division. "We consider this a significant success for the state." Hood's attorneys said in a statement that the affair led to a tainted trial and "obvious and outrageous violations" of Hood's constitutional rights. The ruling will "only add to the perception that justice is skewed in Texas," said Andrea Keilen, of the Texas Defender Service. The rejection from the state's highest criminal appeals court means a future appeal on the same grounds must go to the U.S. Supreme Court. "No one would want to be prosecuted for a parking violation — let alone for capital murder — by a district attorney who is sleeping with the judge," another Hood attorney Greg Wiercioch said. "We are outraged by this breakdown in the integrity of the justice system ... Mr. Hood is entitled to a new trial before an impartial judge and a fair prosecutor." Hood's attorneys have said they could not raise the issue of the affair until last year, because it wasn't yet a known fact. Hood, 40, a former bouncer at a topless club, was arrested in Indiana for the 1989 fatal shootings of Tracie Lynn Wallace, 26, and her boyfriend, Ronald Williamson, 46. He has maintained his innocence. Hood was driving Williamson's $70,000 Cadillac at the time of his arrest and his fingerprints were at the murder scene at Williamson's home in Plano, a Dallas suburb. Hood said he had permission to drive the car and his fingerprints were at the house because he had been living there. Hood won a reprieve last September, a day before his scheduled execution. No new execution date has been scheduled, and he still has at least one other appeal pending regarding whether jury instructions were flawed. A ruling favorable to Hood could result in a new sentencing hearing but not a new trial. The Austin-based appeals court granted the stay of execution because of the issue of jury instructions. It was unrelated to the once secret romantic relationship between Hood's trial judge, Verla Sue Holland, and Tom O'Connell, the former district attorney in Collin County. CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS Neighbors protest sex offender BONDS GARFOLK EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. — After being locked away for 25 years for sex crimes, Donald Robinson moved to a little block of unassuming homes in this city on the San Francisco Peninsula on Aug. 27. Melvin Harris and his wife Helen Harvey-Harris are interviewed at their home near the residence of sex offender Donald Robinson in East Palo Alto, Calif. Robinson moved in Aug. 27. ASSOCIATED PRESS The timing couldn't have been worse. It was the day after Phillip Garrido was arrested just 40 miles away on charges that he kidnapped 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard and held her captive for 18 years despite his long criminal record as a sex offender. CRIME Police distributed fliers in Robinson's new neighborhood, alerting residents that he was living there. He has been targeted by a protest rally organized by the mayor and daily picketing outside his house. And the state is paying two security guards $800 a day each to protect him. Robinson's case underscores just how hard it is for the government to move sex offenders back into society, especially at a time there is widespread outrage over the garrido case and the missed opportunities to catch him. It's an issue that communities face in an era when community notification laws in all 50 states tell residents where sex offenders live. Associated Press Capt.

"When people find out a dish has local food, it's exciting for them and they're more likely to order it," she said. That's because KU Dining Services switched vendors July 1 to Sysco Corp. The change was both an effort to save money and to participate in the Sysco Corp.'s progressive approach toward local food purchases, she said. Sysco Corp.'s initiative, called "Buy Fresh, Buy Local," helps larger food operations connect with vendors in the region to reduce the miles over which the food is shipped and to support local farms. Traver said the University's partnership through Sysco Corp. was called Good Natured Family Farms, a co-op of 18 family farms out of Kansas and Missouri. She said the partnership had helped KU Dining Services secure more locally grown produce.' She also said it had "When people find out a dish has local food, it's exciting for them and they're more likely to order it." started discussions with local dairy farmers to get cheese and milk on campus. To help KU Dining Services continue to move in the direction of getting local food on campus, KU Environs has created a committee called Local Food and Sustainable Dining. KU Environs is a student organization that advocates responsible environmental practices on campus, throughout Lawrence and surrounding areas. "In buying local, you're helping the environment and making sure that your food doesn't contain pesticides or any harmful chemicals from the environment." Margaret Tran, Derby senior and one of the committee coordinators, said. "It's also helping the local economy by supporting local businesses and growers. It serves your health. I could go on and on."

Kosen, 27. told reporters in London that he was looking forward to parlaying his newfound status into a chance at love. Kosen is one of only 10 confirmed or reliably reported cases in which humans have grown past the eight foot (2.44 meter) mark, according to Guinnes s. The record-keeping group said he grew into his outsize stature because tumor-related damage to his pituitary triggered the overproduction of growth hormones. The condition, known as "pituitary gigantism," also explains Kosen's enormous hands and feet, which measure 10.8 inches (27.5 centimeters) and 14.4 inches (36.5 centimeters) respectively. The tumor was removed last year, so Kosen is not expected to grow any further. "I can't fit into a normal car." he said. The part-time farmer, who uses crutches to stand, said there were disadvantages to being so tall. "I can't go shopping like normal people, I have to have things made specially and sometimes they aren't always as fashionable. The other thing is that ceilings are low and I have to bend down through doorways." But he noted some advantages too, including the ability to see people coming from far away. "The other thing is at home they use my height to change the light bulbs and hang the curtains, things like that," he said. Kosen's trip to the U.K. — his first outside Turkey — was organized by Guinness to publicize the release of its 2010 Guinness World Records book, this year's repertoire of weird and wonderful records.

The Pretty Things Peep Show, a traveling burlesque act, performed at The Granada on Sept 9. Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSA BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com The Granada stage for the "Pretty Things Peepshow" is nothing short of gaudy. Every inch of the cloth curtain is dotted with sparkles. The giant keyhole in the middle of the stage and the rack of swords sitting stage left were an indication of things to come. Then, through the keyhole, Go-Go Amy appears. She enters wearing a sparkly, nude-colored outfit. Amy and her two fellow dancers easily slip off their costumes, revealing nothing but panties and black tasseled pasties. "Everybody wants to see this type of show," said Amy, co-founder of the burlesque peepshow. "People are looking to entertainment to escape from reality. Burlesque leaves more to the imagination than most adult entertainment today." Like the dancers in the "pretty Things Peepshow," Go-Go Amy specializes in burlesque dancing, a form of striptease using showy costumes and suggestive humor that became a popular form of entertainment during the 1930s. "It is a very off-the-cuff sort of show," Mike Logan, owner of The Granada, said. He said he had noticed an increase in burlesque shows around the Kansas City area.

Justin Scott, a spokesman for Kansas City, Mo. based movie giant AMC Entertainment Inc., said it was also He said the Broadway revival of "Gypsy", a musical detailing the fall of vaudeville and rise in popularity of burlesque in the 1930s, could be another sign that the Great Depression-era entertainment was making a return. able to thrive even in tough times "During the Depression, Hoover's administration put money into theater entertainment to help boost the economy by way of the WPA, Works Progress Administration," Staniumas said. "Now, Obama's administration is putting more money into the National Endowment for The Arts."

Stariunas, who will direct the spring 2010 production, said it was especially relevant now Ben Chappell, professor of American studies, said he thought there was something essential about forms such as burlesque being related to hard times. Also, he said he thought the return of this type of entertainment pertained more to modern popular culture. "Retro is something that happens right now." Chappell said.

The ability to sew. Believe it or not, there is no burlesque section at Wal-Mart and the costume is 80 percent of the act, so good costuming skills come in handy. if you know how to make a wink and a smile sexy, you're in good shape. You also need a good sense of humor just to be on stage. 2. A good sense of humor. Burlesque is very cheeky, so 3. A really strong work ethic. If you want to do it for a living, you basically have to give up your social life and the chance at a normal apartment life to tour in a van. For every two minutes of stage time, there are at least four and a half months of shitty times to go with it. 4. Self confidence is crucial. If you don't believe you are sexy, no one else will, either. 5. Respect for the past. We're doing something that was done 80 years ago so we owe it to them to give it a good name.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 NEWS 9A ASSOCIATED PRESS SPACE AIRCRAFT LAUNCHING Private rockets compete for prestigious NASA prize A rocket built by Armadillo Aerospace fuels up in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge at Caddo Mills, Texas, on Sept. 12. The rocket qualified for a $1 million prize offered by NASA by completing simulated lunar flights. ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — A privately built rocket vying for NASA prize money lifted off in the Mojave Desert and flew half of a simulated lunar lander mission Wednesday before an engine problem forced its developers to call off the attempt until next month. The flight of Masten Space Systems' unmanned "Xombie" at Moiave Air and Space Port comes just days after another competitor, Armadillo Aerospace, qualified for the $1 million top prize with two flights in Texas. The Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge is funded by NASA and presented by the X Prize Foundation, the group behind the $10 million competition won in 2004 by SpaceShipOne, the first privately developed manned rocket to reach space and prototype for a fleet of space tourism rockets. The remotely controlled Xombie is competing for second-place in the first level of the competition, which requires a flight from one pad to another and back within two hours and 15 minutes. Each flight must rise 164 feet and last 90 seconds. How close the rocket lands to the pad's center is also a factor. Level 2 requires 180-second flights and a rocky moonlike landing pad. The energy used is equivalent to that needed for a real descent from lunar orbit to the surface of the moon and a return to orbit, said Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize. The Xombie made one 93-second flight and landed within 8 inches of the pad's center, according to Tom Dietz, a competition spokesman. David Masten, president and chief executive of Masten Space Systems, said the first leg of the flight was perfect but an internal engine leak was detected during an inspection before the return flight. "We saw a little bit of an issue ... in the engine and decided that the engine probably would not survive through another 90-second flight," he said. The problem had occurred previously, usually after three or four engine firings, but was believed to have been fixed. Masten said the engine had been through a dozen firings without problems prior to Wednesday. Masten nonetheless considered the flight a success. "Other than that engine problem the vehicle was very well behaved," he said. The rockets in the lander competition look like plumber's playthings — all pipes and tanks without the sleek fairings, fancy paint and decals seen on launch vehicles that carry satellites into orbit. "If a rocket doesn't look like a flying propellant tank it's actually not a very efficient rocket," said John Carmack, the Armadillo Aerospace founder whose "Scorpius" rocket holds the lead in the lander challenge. On Sept. 12, the Scorpius successfully made two flights in the Level 2 competition and will win the $1 million top prize if no other contender does better. Last year, Armadillo won first place and $350,000 in the Level 1 competition.

INTERNATIONAL Counterterrorism unit opens fire ASSOCIATED PRESS Indonesia SOLO, Indonesia Counterterrorism forces opened fire during a raid on a house in Central Java, police and witnesses said, amid investigations into suicide hotel bombings in the capital in July. Shots were heard for several hours starting late Wednesday night, witnesses said. An anti-terror unit cordoned off a house in a suburb of the city of Solo, a stronghold for hardline Islamist groups, police Col. Joko Iwanto said early Thursday. "I ran out of my house in fear when I heard the gunfire," said Widjan, a neighbor, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. The property was rented several months ago by a young couple, and the two work as teachers at an Islamic boarding school and a kindergarten, local village chief Suratim said. Police were searching for key suspects believed to be hiding at the house, an official with the counterterrorism force said. Backup units with anti-explosives equipment were deployed, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to talk to the media. Electricity was cut along streets surrounding the house, plunging the area into darkness and an ambulance was waiting nearby. witnesses said. The raid comes as police continue a massive manhunt for perpetrators of attacks on the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta on July 17. The blasts killed seven people and wounded more than 50, ending nearly four years without terrorist strikes in the world's most populous Muslimmajority country. mind, Malaysian fugitive Noordin Muhammad Top, remains at large.

NATIONAL Millionaire sentenced for part in child sex-ring ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — A wealthy Russian-American car exporter was sentenced to eight years in prison Wednesday for procuring girls from a Russian orphanage to have sex with them. Andrew Mogilyansky, 39, of suburban Philadelphia raped one girl on her 14th birthday and a 13-year-old in her first sexual encounter, the victims said in letters to the court. The original indictment and an $8 million civil lawsuit accuse Mogilansky of helping finance and run an online child-sex ring aimed at rich international customers. However, he pleaded guilty only to being a customer of the now-defunct "Berenika" ring. "I still feel his repugnant breath. I hate him," one of the victims, now 18, wrote in a statement read in court Friends from Mogiliyanksy's days at Columbia University testified Wednesday, describing him as brilliant and generous, and his wife called him a loving husband and father. A defense psychotherapist concluded he is not a sexual predator. "To take young teenagers... and have sex with them is a grave criminal act." But the victims wrote that he left them pained, depressed and unable to trust men since the assaults in 2003 and 2004. Mogilyansky was accused of getting the girls from an orphanage on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, then assulting them at an apartment in the Russian city. U. S. District Judge Mary A. McLaughlin decried "this business of going abroad to have sex with young girls." She found the defendant's accomplishments impressive but called his crimes "grave." Mogilyanks received the top of the 78- to 97-month sentencing range negotiated as part of his plea to four "sex tourism" counts. "To take young teenagers from that orphanage to an apartment and have sex with them is a grave criminal act," McLaughlin said. Mary A. McLaughlin U.S. district judge Mogilyansky had lived in Richboro northeast of Philadelphia with his wife and their three toddlers until his bail was revoked following his December arrest. "It wasn't until after I was arrested that I looked myself in the mirror and said, 'How could Prosecutors previously estimated his wealth at $5 million to $10 million, and said he earned $750,000 a year as the owner of several businesses, including IFEX Global in Bensalem the car exporting company. I have done this?" Mogilyansky told the judge. "This isn't me." But defense lawyer Jack McMahon scoffed at suggestions his client remains a millionaire, and prosecutors did not challenge his request for a low fine of $12,500. Mogilyansky must also pay each victim $5,000 restitution, register as a sex offender after his release and serve 15 years of federal probation. More than 50 "sex tourism" cases have been brought in the U.S. under the 2003 Protect Act, which aims to prosecute Americans who travel overseas — beyond the reach of U.S. law — to have sex with children.

More often than not, it provides fodder for jokes — which are never as original or as clever as the teller seems to think. "How's Toto?" Dead. "Say hi to Dorothy for me!" Also dead, but ok. "Hey, did you know that they did a study once, and Kansas is actually flatter than a pancake?" No, I didn't. But I'm glad they finally looked in to that. Serious business, the topography of break fast foods. "Did they not teach you about gravity in school either? It's just a theory too, you know." Of course they did. I mean, it's right there in The Book of Job. Perhaps in an effort to give Kanssas ammunition with which to defend against such attacks, the Kansas Sampler Foundation is putting together a list of The Eight Cultural Wonders of Kansas. Voters have until October 20 to whittle the 20 finalists down to eight. Edited by Jonathan Hermes As true as those criticisms may be, they also miss the point. The Rock Chalk Chant — or any cultural tradition, for that matter — doesn't derive its significance from any tangibly practical source. Rather, it's about a sense of communal identity. Undeniably, the chant is an integral part of a Kansas identity for many. It's a part of that identity which, amidst the derision, Kansans can take a measure of pride in. No disrespect to the other 19, but there's one obvious choice: The Rock Chalk Chant. Now, I'm sure there's a charming local story behind residents of Wetmore putting shoes on a tree, but I sure as hell don't know it. Neither do I have the slightest clue as to why a summer swim in Garden City ought to be more culturally significant than doing so anywhere else. In fact, other than the Rock Chalk Chant, none of the finalists seem particularly relevant to anyone outside the locale in which they exist. Which is fine. Local color is noteworthy because it's local, not in spite of that fact. But the Rock Chalk Chant, on top of its local appeal, means something nationwide. It invokes images of a basketball powerhouse, an emerging football program and as passionate and devoted a fan base as any in the country. Granted, the Rock Chalk Chant's notoriety is somewhat limited to those with at least a casual interest in sports. And sports, one could further argue, are ultimately frivolous concerns, hardly the sort of thing a state should take pride in. So our basketball team is better than yours; we still can't fund our schools. "The Wizard of Oz" jokes won't stop anytime soon. That's fine. Let the would-be comedians have their fun. They won't be laughing when the seconds plummet toward zero, and a familiar chant signifies their team's pending defeat. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 63 1 5 Senior running back Jake Sharp runs the ball against Northern Colorado. Sharp has rushed for at least 100 yards in both games played this season. Kansas has run more this season than in the past Run, not pass, moves offense Sharp, running backs carry team early in the season BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Senior running back Jake Sharp sat at a desk with reporters posing questions clustered in a semicircle around him. It was a normal snapshot from a Tuesday press conference. There were recorders, cameras, and a quarterback? "Jake, do you think you're going to continue your streak of 100-yard games?" Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing playfully asked. Sharp laughed, leaned back in his chair, smiled and then proceeded to answer his quarterback's question. Road is just a comic, isn't he?" said Sharp, who has rushed for at least 100 yards in both games this season. "But as long as need be, I think I can shoulder the load on that." So far this season, that's exactly what Sharp has done. t Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. With defensive attempts to limit the pass, Sharp — not Reesing and his wide receivers — has developed into Kansas' most consistent play maker. Reeing hasn't played poorly this season, but he hasn't posted the video game offensive numbers that became the norm the last two seasons. For coach Mark Mangino, there's a simple reason for that. in there and throwing for 400 or 500 yards," Mangino said. "If teams are going to play us that way, it's great. We can run the ball. And we will." That's a distant message from last season when Kansas, Sharp included, struggled to run the ball. Much of the offensive workload. "They don't want Todd coming then, fell onto the shoulders of Reesing and his ability to move the ball through the air. The Jayhawks rushed for 254 yards after two games last season. They've rushed for 583 yards already this year. "As a team that, over the last four years, has thrown more than we've run, to come out this year and run more than we've passed has been awesome," Reesing said. "Down the road, that's going to only help our pass game." "They don't want Todd coming in there and throwing 400 or 500 yards." MARK MANGINO Football coach In the season opener, Northern Colorado routinely dropped eight defenders in coverage, almost baiting Kansas to move the ball on the ground. With Reesing and a talented cast of returning play makers at wide receiver, Kansas' passing attack was supposed to highlight the offensive attack. Apparently opposing defenses heard similar messages. On the road against UTEP last week, Kansas' pass offense remained bottled up for most of the game. "It kind of is a direct challenge to the entire football program with them thinking we can't run the ball," freshman running back Toben Opurum said. "But I think we've proven ourselves that we can." The biggest beneficiary of Kansas' continued use of the run game is Sharp, who split time with two other running backs during non-conference play last season. dimensional now." Statistically, Kansas' offense is thriving once again this season, averaging 561.5 yards per game. "It kind of is a direct challenge to the entire football program with them thinking we can't run the ball." the big 12 with 227 rushing yards this season. TOBEN OPURUM Freshman running back Still, there seems to be a sense that the offense could — and should — perform at an even higher level. In their 34-7 victory on Saturday, the Jayhawks missed scoring chances, leaving, as players and Mangino said, "points on Offensive coordinator Ed Warriner said that while defenses are paying closer attention to the pass, he thinks a more sufficient reason for the rushing success is that the Jayhawks are simply a better running team than last season. "It's a whole different mindset for him and for us offensively this season," Warriner said. "We're two the field." "That is my fault for not getting the ball where it needs to be sometimes," Reesing said. "It's encouraging though that you put up 570 yards of offense and walk away a little disappointed." True. Reesing wasn't as crisp and efficient as past performances, but he didn't need to be. That's the appeal of having a solid and productive run game. "We're not going to try and force things that aren't there." Reesing said. "If teams are going to let us run the ball, then we're going to run the ball. That's just the way the offense works." - Edited by Jonathan Hermes SWIMMING & DIVING Junior overcomes absence of training facilities at home Iuliai Kuzhil, Cherkasy, Ukraine, junior swimmer has BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com fought through less-than-ideal circumstances to become one of the Jayhawk's biggest threats in the pool. Kuzhil Nowhere is this fact more evident than in last year's postseason competi tion. Kuzhil was one of only three Jayhawk swimmers and divers to compete at the 2009 NCAA championships, where she narrowly missed the finals by only .21 seconds.

This interest was so intense that it survived six years of relatively non-competitive swimming. inside her own city. Kuzhill stated her belief that this inhibited her growth as an athlete because the level of competition was not as high enough to push her to get better. This along with the fact that the pool in her hometown closes during the summer months led to her slow start at KU. "The last couple of years I didn't compete outside my city, so I didn't get to compete on the higher level I needed to grow as an athlete," Yoshil said.

The 11 a.m. kickoff may be harsh for some, but we can parlay this into an opportunity to catch even more afternoon and evening events. One incentive to remain clear headed and conscious through the day's later hours is catching one of the first head-to-head battles between boxing and mixed martial arts. Now, I much prefer MMA to boxing but in the same way I prefer football to baseball. I happen to prefer one sport over the other yet also believe that the two can coexist in the same sporting spectrum. That's not to say we won't be witness to plenty of bouts of competition amongst the two fight sports. On Saturday, one of the year's most anticipated boxing pay-per-views will go head-to-head with UFC 103. BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com One of boxing's finest, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0), returns from retirement after 21 months to fight Juan Manuel Marquez (37-4-1) in Las Vegas. Mayweather retired in December 2007 after knocking out Ricky Hatton seven months after setting a boxing record for pay-per view buys for his fight against Oscar De La Hoya. Here's hoping Pretty Boy Floyd still has it in him and that sometime next year we can watch another superfight between him and Manny Pacquiao — who has since elicited claims that he's now the top pound-for-pound boxer. Dallas gets its first taste of the UFC — still waiting out here, Dana White — when Rich Franklin (25-4) and Vitor Belfort (18-8) headline UFC 103 in a catchweight (they will fight at 195 pounds) bout. I can't say there is anything about this card that makes me want to fork over $44 and exorbitant Sunflower Broadband taxes. That said, if you can find a place to watch it you may be pleasantly surprised Franklin headlined a decent UFC 99 in which he defeated Wanderlei Silva in one of the better fights all year. He and Belfort, who debuted at UFC 12, should put on a good show. Also on the card is the second installment of heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop's return with the UFC as he fights the 25-year-old Junior dos Santos (8-1). Cro Cop (25-6) can put himself in position to headline another card with a victory, dos Santos could greatly expedite his climb up the heavyweight ladder. DAMN YANKEES With the football team taking a hit next year due to graduation,' it is far from unfathomable to imagine a 6-6 or 7-5 2010 season. In that case, the Jayhawks could find themselves bowling ... in Yankee Stadium. The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Yankee Bowl, to be played in Yankee Stadium, is in the works and could well be reality. The Big 12 and Big East conferences confirmed in concert with the New York Yankees that, though nothing has been completed, it is possible that the bowl could occur in 2010 and pit the seventh-place Big 12 team against a third- or fourth-place team from the Big East.

The NCAA announced his death. Associated Press FOOTBALL FOOTBALL Sophomore adjusts to new position; college life Sophomore Steven Foster arrived at Kansas as the fourth best fullback prospect according to ESPN.com. With Kansas' offense rarely using a fullback, though, coach Mark Mangino decided Foster would be better suited at defensive end. But first, Mangino said, Foster had to make some changes. "We told him in the winter time that he had to change his ways and his work habits," Mangino said. "To credit, he responded very positively. "Some kids it takes a little longer to adapt to college life. He was a kid who was used to being a big star in high school and now everybody was a big star in high school. You have to earn your way and sometimes kids get frustrated, lose their patience and kind of get down about it. I think he did to some degree." Mangino didn't elaborate on specifics but did say that Foster has made the necessary adjustments this season. Through two games, Foster has recorded five tackles while playing primarily on third down. "He's not a huge guy," Mangino said, "but he's strong and he's quick." Offensive lineman has more 'tenacity' this year Sophomore offensive lineman Jeff Spikes looks up and smiles when asked about last season. In his first year as a starter, Kansas struggled to run the ball early in the season. He said he wasn't as comfortable with Kansas' offense. Mangino, too, has noticed a change in Spikes' play in his second season as a starter. "I think he plays with more tenacity and is a smarter player," Mangino said. "No question. He's more than dependable." Jayson Jenks NFL Broncos safety energetic and positive on field at 36 ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — When Josh McDaniels became head coach of the Denver Broncos at age 32, his top target in free agency was safety Brian Dawkins, who turns 36 next month. "He doesn't look like it." McDaniels said. "When you watch him on tape, when you watch him on the field, he's playing as fast or faster than everybody else." Dawkins, who left Philadelphia after 13 years when McDaniels offered him what essentially is a $9 million contract over two years, led the Broncos with 11 tackles and a ton of pep talks in their season-opening win at Cincinnati.

Players from both teams were suspended for their involvement in a fight during a game the night before. New York beats Toronto, but not literally this time ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — This time the Yankees fought back with their bats. Hideki Matsui hit a tying, two-run homer in the eighth inning off Scott Downs, Francisco Cervelli hit a winning single in the ninth and New York beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 Wednesday night. A day after brawling in the Bronx, the Blue Jays and Yankees made it through nine innings calmly on the first chilly night of late summer. New York was held to four hits through seven innings, then tied it on Matsui's 25th homer, a drive over the manual scoreboard on the right-field wall. Brett Gardner singled off Jason Frasor (6-3) leading on the ninth, stole second, took third on Derek Jeter's grounder and scored on Cervelli's shrank single to left. Mariano Rivera (3-2) pitched a one-hit ninth for the win. Approaching a return to the playoffs after a one-year absence, New York (94-53) finished its next-to-last homestand of the regular season by overcoming three wild pitches and an error by the shortstop Jeter, who allowed a grounder to go through his legs. Toronto lost two pitchers to injury. Brian Tallet cut short his start after bruising his right foot on Robinson Cano's comebacker leading off the second. He finished the inning and was replaced by Shawn Camp starting the third. Camp hit Melky Cabrera above the right knee with an 80 mph breaking ball in the fourth, but both benches remained calm. Downs also left early. Three batters after Matsui's homer, he came out with a 1-0 count to Cabrera, who hit an inning-ending flyout against Frasor. Much of the focus was on events of a night earlier. Jorge Posada and Shelley Duncan of the Yankees and Jesse Carlson of the Blue Jays each were suspended for three games by Major League Baseball for their role in Tuesday's fight. While Posada and Carlson accepted their penalties, Duncan appealed and remained eligible to play. After a pair of Toronto players were hit by pitches Tuesday night, Carlson threw a fastball behind Posada in the eighth inning of the Blue Jays' 10-4 win. Moments later, Posada bumped Carlson after scoring a run, and the dugouts and bullpens emptied. 5 Tigers honor Hall of Fame broadcaster, beat Royals JACHTON 0 Kansas City Royals' Mike Jacobs strikes out against Detroit Tigers' Brandon Lyon in the eighth inning Wednesday in Detroit.

Placido Polanco singled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the sixth inning as the Tigers, seeking their first division title since 1987, reduced their magic number to 13. Detroit leads Minnesota by $4\frac{1}{2}$ games. "I think he really said some nice words," reliever Zach Miner said of Harwell, who spoke to the team before the game. "I think everyone kind of took it to heart and kind of realized that it's a game." "That's just the way we've played games all year," said Detroit shortstop Adam Everett, who drove in two runs, including the tying run in the sixth. "I don't know how to explain it. They've been beating us up pretty good and to get a win, and win in that fashion, was big for us." The victory ended the Tigers' five-game skid against Kansas City. The 91-year-old Hall of Fame broadcaster was in the Detroit booth from 1960 to 2002. Detroit saluted Harwell, who recently said he has inoperable cancer, during the third inning. The team showed a three-minute video tribute then the Hall of Fame announcer gave a thank-you speech to an appreciative and tearful crowd of 25,400.

The Royals lost their lead basrunner three times, including in the third when Yuniesky Betancourt was thrown out at the plate by Ryan Raburn.

He's already assured of going down as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. But there's still something missing: a championship. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 68 ASSOCIATED PRESS 17 2009 Gonzalez adjusting to life as Falcon ASSOCIATED PRESS 1:00PM ON WESCOE BEACH FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Tony Gonzalez is the Zen master of tight ends, a guy with Hall of Fame credentials still seeking ultimate perfection. "It's all about the mind," he said Wednesday, standing in front of his locker at the Atlanta Falcons' training complex. "I love studying the mind, the hidden determinant in human behavior, that type of thing." If that doesn't sound like your typical football player, well, it doesn't take long to realize Gonzalez isn't just another guy in a helmet and shoulder pads. RECITE THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION WITH STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MASON HEILMAN AND VP MAY DAVIS He's revolutionized the tight end position, a large man with hands as soft as the tiniest of receivers. ROBERT J. DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas WWW.DOLEINSTITUTE.ORG 864-4900 He caught 102 passes one season, more than 90 three other times. He's been to the Pro Bowl every year for the past decade, and there's surely a spot reserved for him in Canton at the end of his career. "If I was younger, I probably would have just caught the ball and tried to turn it up field right away." But even at age 33, Gonzalez shows no signs of slowing down. Last week, in his debut with the Falcons after spending a dozen years with the Kansas City Chiefs, he led the way with five catches for 73 yards in a 19-7 victory over Miami. His biggest play came late in the third quarter, when he hauled in a short pass from quarterback Matt Ryan, cut to the inside to shake off safety Yeremiah Bell, then picked up a block that finished off a 20-vard touchdown TONY GONZALEZ Falcons tight end "If I was younger, I probably would have just caught the ball and tried to turn it upfield right away," he said. "But I know the blitz is coming. I know (Bell) is probably coming at an angle. I know I don't want to turn up field right away so he has a better angle. I want to stop and see where he's coming from and hopefully get off him. I got lucky. He's a sure tackler. He usually doesn't miss those tackles." Still, no amount of visualization can substitute for the ultimate prize — a Super Bowl ring. Gonzalez never made it to the big game in Kansas City. When it became apparent the Chiefs were years away from contending for a championship, he asked to be traded by the only team hed ever played for in the NFL. Which is how he ended up in Atlanta. "That the only reason I wanted out of Kansas City. The only reason," he repeated, with emphasis. "The window is closing. I'm not going to play too much longer. I just want a shot at it. If I don't get it, it will make or break my career? No. But I definitely want to at least have a chance at it." The Falcons made a surprising run to the playoffs in 2008, and they gladly gave up a second-round draft pick to add Gonzalez to an offense led by Ryan, running back Michael Turner and receiver Roddy White. Gonzalez needed all of one game to show what he brings to the mix. The Dolphins stacked the line to stop Turner, the second-leading rusher in the NFL last season, and they did a good job shutting off the long passing game. A year ago, that would be enough. Not now, not with Gonzalez. "Guys have to account for him all over the football field," third receiver Brian Finneran said. "Unless you've got a big cornerback or a real athletic safety, you're really going to have a mismatch every time he's on the football field."

His understanding. Even his blocking, never a strong point but at least respectable. "He wants to win," Finneran said. "You can see that in the way he works and applies himself. You see that in between plays, or in between series when he's catching balls on the sideline. He's always working on getting better. He's the consummate pro." Of course, the Falcons didn't trade for Gonzalez to clear a path for others. They were more interested in those velvet hands, the ones that have hauled in 921 passes for 11,013 yards — two figures unsurpassed by any tight end in NFL history. the spectacle eyewear center "Tony makes it pretty easy for a quarterback," Ryan said.

"It was a rough start," Campbell said. This rough start was somewhat eased by former Kansas swimmer Maria Mayrovich. Mayrovich, who is from Novorossiysk, Russia, came from a system similar to Kuzhil's and as such they struck up a quick friendship. "She was like my sister," Mayrovich said. "When I fell down she was always there for me, and when she was down, I was there to pick her up." Through all of this, Kuzhil enters the season in better shape than ever. Kuzhil has worked hard in the offseason to ensure she doesn't experience the same drawbacks she encountered in her first year as a Jayhawk. She returned to her hometown during the summer months. Since the pool was not open, Kuzhil heavily relied on the support of her family to guide her training. With the "never-give up" support of her mother, Kuzhil underwent training at the instruction of her brother, who is also her fitness trainer. Kuzhil has set her goals in accordance with this mission. "She's used to being here in the states now, she knows how things work," junior swimmer Alyssa Potter said. "I want to try to make it to the finals," Kuzhil said, referring to the NCAA finals. She's not the only one expecting great things this year. "She's a world apart from where she was last year," Campbell said. "She has the talent to be a top-eight finisher at nationals."

"No. 7 (Cassel), as I felt he would, he moved around a little better than he did at the end of the week," said Haley. "Again, this is going to be an evaluation deal with him.

ENTERTAINMENT Harry Potter park planned for 2010 ASSOCIATED PRESS Hogwarts Castle ORLANDO — It sounds like a new book in the Harry Potter series, but "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" will be a hightech ride and the marquee attraction at the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter," a new theme park area opening in spring 2010 at Universal Orlando Resort. The "Forbidden Journey" ride was named by author J.K. Rowling and described Tuesday by Universal officials in a Web cast revealing details of what the Potter park will look like. The ride will take guests through scenes and rooms from the blockbuster movies inside a richly detailed remake of Hogwarts Castle made to look 700 feet tall. Hogwarts is where Harry attends a boarding school for witches and wizards. Guests will enter the "Wizarding World" through a station archway named for Hogsmade, the magical village near Hogwarts. A plume of steam and a train whistle will sound the arrival of the Hogwarts Express. The goal is to make the experience immersive, so nothing outside is visible after guests pass the Hogsmeade station archway. In this artist's illustration, Hogwarts Castle is part of the "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" ride. The ride will be located at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Fla. Other rides include the "Dragon Challenge," a twin high-speed roller coaster themed after the "Triwizard Tournament," and the family roller coaster "Flight of the Hippogriff," named for a creature with an eagle's head and a horse's body. Rowling, known for carefully guarding the Potter franchise, has not yet journeyed to Orlando, but the design team has made several trips to London to consult with her. "Along those journeys they're going to be sweep up into the greatest parts of the movies and the books. We've pushed every technology available to us to give guests a theme park experience unlike any they've had before," said Paul Daurio, producer of the Potter area. Hogsmeade postmark. Magical instruments and equipment are available at Dervish and Banges, including everything needed to play Quidditch — a game like soccer played on flying broomsticks.

The package included a year-long sabbatical at full pay along with guaranteed employment at the University during the next year. This compensation package, specifically the inordinate sabbatical leave and pay, is at odds with the current economic state of Kansas and the budgetary realities of the Kansas Board of Regents. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Hemenway deserves praise for his 14 years in a demanding executive position. It is clear that he had Medical Center and lobbying across the state and the nation. Hemenway even continued to teach during most of his tenure. It seems likely that with this busy schedule, he was forced to delay most of his academic research and pursuits. the sabbatical is only a chance for academic pursuits, that he receive the same opportunities, and pay, as other professors. This becomes especially important when considering the extremely difficult economic situation in the state and the With his planned return to the University in Fall 2010, a sabbatical seems like an ideal way for Hemenway to catch up. Many professors take sabbaticals for similar reasons such as to free up time to focus more intently on a specific project or opportunity. During this time, though, no professor at the University or any Board of Regents school is eligible for more than half pay, according to guidelines concerning sabbatical leave established by the Kansas Board of Regents. KANSAN'S OPINION Though Hemenway, as a direct employee of the Board of Regents, is not technically governed by these guidelines, it seems prudent that if large budget problems the Board of Regents face. In a statement issued Nov 12, 2008, Donna Shank, chairwoman of the Kansas Board of Regents, regarding former Governor Kathleen Sebelius' suggested budget cuts for the state's public higher education system, said "higher education funding would be reduced by a net total of $114.4 million ($24.3 million in FY 2009 and $90.1 million in FY 2010)." According to Kip Peterson, spokesman for the Board of Regents, Hemenway will receive $120,000 from public funds during his sabbatical, with the rest of his $340,352 salary coming from KU Endowment. The sum from KU Endowment was requested by the Kansas Board of Regents according to Roista Elizalze-Mccoy, senior vice president for communications. The funds came from The Greater KU Fund, "which supports faculty and other University needs," she said. This fund is separate from the money allocated for student scholarships. Peterson pointed out that it is becoming more common for chancellors or university executives across the country are to receive a lump sum deferred, compensation package, which is a set amount of money set aside each year the person is working. The total sum is then received upon retirement. Hemenway did not receive this, however, he was hired 14 years ago When asked about the difference between Hemenway's sabbatical and that of other professors, Peterson said the situation was like "comparing apples and oranges," with Hemenway having been in a demanding role with a national profile for much longer than what Peterson said was the five to seven year average for campus university leaders. Though the state has made the right move by reducing the amount of Hemenway's salary that is coming from public funds during the next two years, his sabbatical pay is still in excess of what is appropriate, especially in these tough economic times. Further, if continued employment and sabbaticals are serving as a replacement for some type of deferred compensation package, perhaps the Kansas Board of Regents should consider adopting this more standard approach, which could reduce confusion and allow for more prudent budgeting on the Board's part in the future. The Kansas Board of Regents should either choose to call the money Hemenway is receiving something other than a sabbatical salary, because it is not in accordance with their own policy about what a sabbatical salary is, or they should lower the amount of money he is to receive. Alex Doherty for The Kansan Editorial Board RELIGION COLLEGE DORM RULE6... MARINA SAFANI WORSE THAN A NIGHTMAE! I MARIAM SAIFAN Uncovering life's truths in college From 1995 to 2005, Bazan's band Pedro the Lion blended buzzed-out guitar hooks with unflinchingly candid lyrics about his Christian faith. The band's songs are certainly not praise and worship in the traditional sense, with poignant reflections on everything from hypocrisy in the church to Bazan's own moral failings. This sort of sincerity garnered Pedro the Lion admiration from not only Christian music circles, but the secular indie scene as well. Perhaps my favorite modern-day philosopher is a songwriter named David Bazan. When I saw the songwriter perform recently in St. Louis, an When news came of Bazan's creative and spiritual shift, many long time listeners in his Christian fan base felt confused, even betrayed. This month Bazan released his first album in four years, a solo effort called "Curse Your Branches." After first listen, it becomes apparent that the artist has broken off with far more than his old band. Over the course of 10 songs, the album chronicles Bazan's struggle with and eventual loss of faith, all in trademark honesty. Even so, all great art must innovate to stay alive. 136 audience member asked Bazan what he would say to fans who felt abandoned by him leaving the faith he once so affirmed. His answer stuck with me. READ RELIGIOUSLY JOSH HAENER "If there's this absolute truth that everyone says there is, then when I get done tearing down all the untruth, it's still going to be left standing," he said. About 3,000 years ago King David of Israel, another songwriter, penned a majority of the Psalms, a collection of hymns to God. Surprisingly, scholars estimate that about 50 percent of the Psalms are laments: David struggling with the divine, questioning the presence of God in his life or asking why evil continues to exist. And yet in the scriptures God calls David "a man after my own heart," as if this struggling brought him closer to God. I suppose his search is not unlike another David. Centuries later, St. Paul instruct ed early Christians to "test everything and hold to what is good." Both David and Paul knew a certain beauty in struggling, in probing big questions about faith and truth. Only after everything else was torn down could the truth be found standing. For many of us, college coincides with a formative period of life. We're autonomous and away from home, discovering who we are and what we believe in politically, spiritually or otherwise. But regardless of your major, the academic's journey is nothing if not for this active search for truth. And in the midst of it all, take solace in the struggle. Many before us found great beauty in the journey long before the destination. So seek it. Test everything and hold to what is good. Tear down what's false. None of us have all of the answers, and that's OK. Let's roll up our sleeves and wrestle with these great questions of life without worrying about getting dirt under our nails. The truth needs not defending if it's waiting to be found. Hafner is a Great Bend sophomore in journalism. HOUSING Preserving student code to protect student rights At a time when possible changes to the student code of rights and responsibilities looms, the discussion underway could benefit from outside perspective. Students need to realize just how strong their rights are when they are in University housing. Currently, students surrender no rights when in housing, a policy some other schools don't have. I was immediately struck by the different approach taken to housing at the college. School had just started for them and papers explaining the various rules and regulations of Central Christian campus living were still on the walls. Over the long Labor Day weekend, I traveled to my hometown of McPherson for a few days of rest. Located in McPherson is Central Christian College, a small school of about 330 students. I have several friends I've known since high school who attend the college, and I spent a couple nights with them in their dorms. For example, there is a 11 p.m. curfew on weeknights and a 1 a.m. curfew on weekends. Students are not allowed in dorm rooms of the opposite sex, except during a time called "open dorms" and even then the door must remain open. I happened to be watching a movie with a friend during one of these "open dorm" times and when the open dorms ended, a girl who had been watching the movie with us left, even though there was only five minutes left in the film. I don't write this to impugn them at all. They have each decided to go to this school and I agree with many of their values. But it does show how strongly HAWK LIFE JONATHAN SHORMAN protected KU students are. This makes me value my freedoms even more. We are lucky to enjoy these freedoms, which is why students need to fiercely oppose the changes that have been proposed. Changing the student code to allow warrantless searches is a naked attempt to strip students of their right against unlawful search and seizure (the Fourth Amendment). The policy change would shift the balance of power in housing away from students and into the hands of University officials, who would in effect play both prosecutor and judge, a combination that is ripe for abuse. "I can't stand here and tell you that a change in the code would save lives, but I'm hoping it would." Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success, said at a recent student senate meeting. I have no doubt that those who support this change are acting in good faith, but it does not make the proposal any less mistaken. We must not take away a foundational right based on a hope. We must fight to continue to be treated as adults in all aspects of University life — and that includes housing. If we don't,we will have only ourselves to blame.

Dear Justice for All, LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO Sex education should replace graphic displays I think that instead of wasting all of your time and money putting up huge billboards with graphic pictures and false information without ANY ideas or suggestions on how to actually lower the number of abortions, you should concentrate on advocating for comprehensive sex education in our schools. That way, not only will our youth be more informed and healthier, but the number of unwanted pregnancies will decrease because there is accurate information being given about how to use contraception correctly. What we need is easy access to low-cost or free contraception and programs that embrace sexuality without using scare tactics. Considering one of your volunteers admitted to me that he has no clue what is included in "comprehensive" sex education, let me give you an idea. Multiple classes and seminars throughout middle school and high school that not only educate youth about consequences of having unprotected sex such as STIs and unplanned pregnancies, but also an introduction into the wonderful and diverse field of sexuality. Access to low-cost (or free) and easy-to-use contraception. Yes, condoms and the pill are key components of this group, but why stop there when there are dozens of more options? Establishing that sexuality is fluid. Not everyone is heterosexual or has penile-vaginal intercourse. Not punishing or threatening young adults who feel it necessary to make a difficult choice in times of an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. Until you have been in a position where you have been forced to make an impossible decision such as obtaining an abortion, step back and really think about what kind of a message your billboards are sending. You say your message is that every child has a right to life? Well my message is that every child deserves to be a wanted child. Courtney Kivett is a Lenexa junior.

Duke won, 35-19. Duke, like Kansas, has been traditionally known as a basketball school. Duke will travel to Kansas this weekend in search of a marquee win. hmann@kansan.com ASSOCIATED PRESS Every Saturday the Duke Blue Devils line up at the Chapel and begin their hike across campus to the Yoh Football Center. The Duke football team instituted this ritual, the Blue Devil Walk, so that fans could see the team before the game, and to encourage a new tradition of football at a legendary basketball school. The football team, which plays Kansas Saturday, hasn't had a winning season in more than five years, so it doesn't take the spotlight at Duke. The men's basketball team, coached by eight-time national Coach of the Year Mike Krzyzewski, continues to dominate the NCAA tournament. Coach David Cutcliffe has been trying to make a name for Duke football the last two years as head coach but hasn't found the victories he's been looking for. "We should be a bowl team," Cutcliffe said in an ESPN article earlier this month. "We can be one. We're good enough to be one, and we are." Even if it is in a slump right now, Duke football has a lot of history behind it that should entice fans and should garner more respect. On Nov 29, 1888, Duke defeated North Carolina in the first college football game played below the Mason-Dixon Line.

Even more recently, Duke had 104,772 fans attend a game — the largest crowd it's ever had — against Tennessee in 2003. Why then, with such a rich history, does Duke football seem to be in the shadows of the ACC and other sports in its own athletic program?

IMAGES SALON AND DAY SPA 9th & Louisiana 785.845.2158 BIG 12 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri is 2-0 heading into Saturday's game against Furman, thanks in no small part to the Tigers' kicking game. New kicker Grant Ressel and punter Jake Harry IV were solid in the opener against Illinois and played pivotal roles in the 27-20 "I just go out and concentrate on my tempo and kick the ball." come-from behind win over Bowling Green last Saturday. Ressel was perfect on two field goal and three extra point attempts. Harry averaged 45.4 yards on seven punts, including a 69-yarder that coach Gary Pinkel called a "game-changer." Ressel, a redshirt sophomore from the southeast Missouri town of Jackson, is in the difficult spot of replacing one of the most accurate kickers in NCAA history. In three seasons at Missouri, Jeff Wolfert was a two-time All-Big 12 selection who was 185-for-185 on extra point tries and 59-for-72 on field goal tries. Ressel said his goal is to keep it simple — after all, there's enough pressure from hungry defenders, hopeful teammates, screaming fans. GRANT RESSEL Missouri kicker "I just go out and concentrate on my tempo and kick the ball," Ressel said. So far, so good. He has made all five field goal tries and is 7-for-7 on extra point attempts as the Tigers prepare to host Furman (2-0) Saturday at Faurot Field. Ressel, who won the job over converted Columbia (Mo.) College soccer goalie Tanner Mills in fall camp, made three first-half field goals in the opener against Illinois in St. Louis, staking Missouri to a 16-3 halftime lead. The Tigers went on to win On Saturday, with quarterback Blaine Gabbert and the offense sputtering in the first half. Ressel's two field goals kept the Tigers within a touchdown at the break, 13-6. "Grant obviously has been a huge plus for us," Pinkel said. "Every point matters." Trailing 13-3 midway through the second quarter and punting from the Missouri 12 yard line, the senior used a rugby style rollout punt that went 69 yards — most of it in the air — and pinned the Falcons to their own 19. "That was one of the best punts I've ever been associated with," Pinkel said. "It was truly a game-changing field position play." 37-9. Harry began learning the art of the rugby style line drive punt at the suggestion of the Missouri coaching staff. "That was probably the best punt I've ever had by far," he said.

"She was very impressive." Powers is not the only player to return to the team. For the first time in the past few years, there are no newcomers in the rotation.

"Since I was a freshman, we've been very young," Powers said, "but now we have everyone returning and that takes the jitters away. Everyone knows how to practice right and how to play in tournaments." The team achieved other goals this tournament as well. O'Neil challenged the women to shoot a sub-300 score in one of the rounds.

I left her office feeling relieved and hopeful. EDITOR // Sean Rosner When I got home from class later that afternoon, I found a message in my inbox from one of the Mother Earth News editors. He wanted to know when I could start. Two weeks of constant e-mail-checking later, I was beginning to freak out. Did the magazine decide to go with someone else? Was I really going to spend my final summer in college being unproductive? Were future potential employers going to pass on me because of my lack of internship experience?

Both Johnson, who was then a senior in high school, and Weltha, a freshman at Emporia State University, had just ended their respective long-term relationships. So one day, out of the blue, Weltha decided to give a little "hello" to Johnson through Facebook messaging. Shortly afterward, they hung out for the first time in four years. Weltha went to Johnson's soffball game, in which she hit her first homerun. "I was showing off," she says. Shortly afterward, they made their relationship official.

It's not yet 9 a.m., and already she happily sips on her drink while reading her latest novel. Her cardigan is green and her mousy, shoulder-length brown hair is kempt. But underneath that cardigan, Davis rocks a royal blue KU shirt. "I'm a chameleon of sorts," Davis says. "Not in the way that I'd change myself for my present environment, but I can fit in anywhere." Davis describes herself as both a hardcore KU sports fan and a grammar geek. When looking for that special someone, Davis admires a guy who has a good sense of humor, a caring manner and a positive outlook on life. Davis does not have one particular perfect date in mind. Rather, she enjoys memorable moments that aren't too extravagant. "Take me to a terrible concert that we can laugh about together. That's how memories are made." Davis says.

"She had really dark eyes and she was really good looking," Jason Schmitz, Seneca senior, says. Schmitz's professor might have been a babe, but when she started talking, she seemed to capture every single person's full attention. "She was funny when she taught, but in a very, very witty way," he says. "It wasn't like slap-stick humor. She was smart." Some students don't want to admit that they are attracted to their professors, but there is a definite reason behind the attraction. A study published in the journal Personal Relationships has shown that personality actually influences physical attraction. If a person is rude, ignorant and unfair, you're probably going to find him or her less physically attractive, whereas if the person is honest, helpful and giving, you're going to find him or her more attractive. This conclusion seems pretty legitimate when considering our professors' personality traits and how they relate to physical attraction. Students naturally assess their teachers every day, and ratemyprofessor.com is one way students can go online to see how past students have felt about their teachers. On the site, students can rate their teachers on qualities such as clarity, helpfulness and the ease of the curriculum. These all seem like things you'd want to know about a professor before you enroll in a class, but "hotness" is also a subject of rating. If the teacher is considered hot, he or she will receive a tiny chili pepper beside his or her name. "I knew about this website but had never looked at it, and I didn't know that part of the rating system was 'hotness.'" says Milton Wendland, graduate teaching assistant of women, gender and sexuality studies and one of the teachers who are rated as hot. "I'm sort of flattered to be rated hot and sort of creeped out because it's a little odd to know that students are evaluating "hotness" instead of how much they learned or the content of the course. But on the other hand, it seems pretty natural to do that." Believe it or not, there is a correlation between the overall quality and the hotness ratings of the professors. About 37 percent of KU professors are rated as "hot" on the site, and about 91 percent of those "hor" teachers have good overall quality ratings. This is not a coincidence, says professor of psychology Patricia Hawley. "I do not think the association is coincidental. However, I suspect the chili peppers reflect "liking" rather than "hotness." Alternatively, students find people they like attractive and this applies to professors as well." Students tend to transfer their interest in the course's content to the teacher, Wendland says. "If an instructor can make material come alive, can connect the material in the book or lecture to life outside of KU or life in 2009, then it's going to make the class, the readings and maybe even the instructor seem attractive. And if an instructor is connected with students, really interacting with them and mentoring them in their learning process, then that relationship can seem like a friendship or become familiar like a friendship." The informality in teaching seems to be important to students, therefore they find themselves like their teachers more. Natalie Marsee-Long, Topeka senior, admits she's "been there." $\pi \int f(x) = g(x) + h(x)$ $\pi \int \frac{1}{x} =$ "I had this one teacher in high school who was pretty good looking but probably in his 40s. I wouldn't say I had a crush on him, but I did find him attractive — probably because he was smart, he was helpful and he was funny," Marsee-Long says. Photo by Adam Buhler So next time you find yourself on the edge Eager to stay after class: Students rate their instructors as "hot" on rating websites, but experts say physical attraction to teachers can be spurred by enjoyment of teaching style and likeability of personality. HERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST COMMENTS ABOUT "HOT" KU TEACHERS of your seat during a lecture, don't think it's just because your professor is physically attractive. Remember that it's much more than that. It's probably because you're learning something from them, you're enjoying what they're teaching and you admire their ability to share their passions. Jp - So interesting ... so hot ... so smart. He opens your eyes to new things and gives you the chance to be heard. - From smashing cinder blocks on the floor, to judo kicking mosquitoes on the wall to explaining in detail why NOT to ***** with a vacuum cleaner, this class was an experience. She gets to know all the students and is hilariously entertaining and witty. Hot for an older woman, too. Charismatic. He pointed out that he looks like Prof. Utonium from the Powerpuff Girls, and he admits he's a loud mouth. He's funny and good. Kyle is one of the most incredible teachers I have ever had! He really knows what he's talking about and truly loves the material. He's such an awesome person and so much fun to talk to (not to mention the fact that he is beautiful). She is the coolest teacher around. One, she's super smart and helpful. Two, she's smoking hot. I mean, smoking. The hot pepper really doesn't do her justice. The pepper needs to be boiling in some pot of firey stew set in a volcano. That's how hot she is. - comments taken from ratemyprofessor.com ... CELSIUS TANNERY 15% OFF ANY PURCHASE Great specials.

I've read all the books that the pick-up community has to offer and not one of these methods advocates using pick-up lines. These cheesy, clichéd phrases come off as creepy and often uncomfortable. They are not to be used. Though I don't agree with some of the advice in these pick-up books, I do believe that most contain valid tips on how to hit on people correctly. I'll paraphrase some of that information here. 1) Have confidence. Confidence is attractive and powerful. It helps you stay in control of your emotions and enjoy the moment. Your looks have little to do with your ability to pick up who you want. Don't sit and stare at someone for a long time thinking you should go up and hit on him or her. Within the first couple of seconds of noticing someone, go up and make contact. Don't fear rejection. 2) Build rapport — not just with the person you're hitting on, but everyone in his or her group. Engage with everyone in a group. Don't just single out one person among the pack. Talk to everyone and show enthusiasm. For example, the friends of the person that you want some alone time with will not let him or her go unless they feel some level of connection with you. When you talk to people you should always be building trust and comfort. Trust + Comfort = Rapport. This is why pick-up lines don't work — they build neither. Show people you have value and establish rapport. 3) Show interest. Bestselling author Neil Strauss, who bills himself as "the world's greatest pick-up artist," taught me the last item in building a strong pick-up foundation directly in a personal e-mail. The lesson he passed on was simple: "The guy who succeeds at the game is the one who goes out and makes other people feel good about themselves." Whatever tactic to picking-up women or men you use, know it is important to be confident.

Sam Billen's new album may shock some of his long-time fans with its new sounds, but he hopes listeners can approach his music in the same way he does: with an open mind. A jack of all musical trades since age 7, Billen dabbles in many different musical instruments — including guitar, harmonica and mandolin — and genres — such as Americana, pop and soul. "I like to challenge myself by trying new genres that I don't think I'd be good at," Billen says. "And, honestly, sometimes I'm not good at it at all. But it's fun." Formetly a member of The Billions, who played their final performance in April, Billen recorded his first album — a tribute to his mother called Death of a Saint — in 2000 and followed it with Miracles in 2004. Now with Kansas City label The Record Machine, Billen recently recorded a group of songs called "The Tokyo Sessions" while on vacation in Japan with his family and has also been working on soundtracks for local documentaries. Billen plays all of the instruments on his latest endeavor, Headphones and Cellphones, which he has been recording for the past year at his home in Lawrence. He describes the sound as somewhere between The Postal Service and The Republic Tigers, with some electronic influences and some banjo and analog sounds as well. "But not techno," he assures fans. Headphones and Cellphones will be released in October. Fans can keep up with his many different directions by following him on Facebook. // SARAH BLUVAS ALFRED BORGHESE Playing it eclectic: Local singer/songwriter Sam Bitten has haddibled in guitar, harmonica and mandolin, composed for documentaries and has an album coming out next month.

Even though Cowboy Indian Bear exchanged the right to their name for a six-pack of beer and the name is derived from a rock, paper, scissors-type game, the music is all business with this Lawrence trio. The band had meetings and practiced their sound for more than six months before playing their first show to ensure they nailed down the direction they wanted to take the band. Cowboy Indian Bear uses their passion for music to help create some of the surreal pop beats that have Lawrence music lovers talking. ALEXIS G. Contributed photo Cowboy Indian Bear (from left to right): CJ. Cah, Beau Brun, Beau Marty Hillard are making a splash in the Lawrence music scene. You can hear it online at myspace.com/cowboyindianbear "We really feel passionate about not only our band but about Lawrence music and being part of something that has historically been a good place for music," Marty Hillard, band member, says. Ambition alone is not enough for a band to be successful, but Cowboy Indian Bear generally cares enough about the music to make the music good, something that has been elusive in the pop scene lately. "I'd rather be broke and have 2,000 enjoy my music live than have a lot of money and sit at home at night," Beau Bruns, band member, says. Cowboy Indian Bear recently got a chance to play their largest show as they opened up for Swedish indie band Peter, Bjorn and John. They will also have the chance this month to open up for some other popular local bands including The Republic Tigers and The Appleseed Cast.

Nicole McClure, Topeka junior, makes a print from an image of E. coli bacteria. Like Jennifer David, McClure uses scientific imagery in her art — and art to help her understand science. "With art and science," McClure says, "I find a fluid connection between two divides. Art helps me smooth everything out. It actually makes science easier." The colorful, abstract image on Jennifer David's computer screen looks more like a tie-dyed creation and less like the bone marrow sample that it actually is. After her high school biology teacher, who was also a photographer, suggested she try combining science and photography, David, Hays freshman, used a microscope and digital camera to take photos of bone marrow, plant and skin cells and other organisms. She then enhanced these images by adding color filters and exaggerations with the computer program Adobe Illustrator. Seeing photography and science as similar in the way they showcase the "natural" side of things. David transformed the way she viewed art and science by using both in an unusual way. The results were interesting, beautiful pieces of art that gave David a better appreciation of science, a topic she didn't always understand. "I was able to make something so scientific into something beautiful as well," she says. And with that beauty came a new perspective. For scientists and artists alike at the University, crafting a greater public understanding of their respective fields is crucial. Robert Hagen, lecturer in ecology and evolutionary biology, says scientists have failed to communicate science because of the ways in which scientists have taught and approached these ideas. Working with artists, then, provides a crucial opportunity to remedy these miscommunications; new visual representations of ideas such as evolution, for instance, can help change people's perceptions on this sometimes controversial topic. Though certain challenges may arise — art and science are two very different experiences with very different ways of communicating — collaborations between art and science are essential in creating larger connections. Looking at these broader implications is a main focus of The Commons, a partnership between the Spencer Museum of Art, the Biodiversity Institute and the Hall Center for the Humanities that looks at the relationship between natural and cultural systems. Aimed at making interdisciplinary approaches "part and parcel" to education at the University, The Commons presented a series of difficult dialogues — many of which addressed issues such as climate change — last year and provided seed grants to three research teams made up of faculty members from various academic departments. "Artists are wonderful at reframing the world." says Jordan Yochim, associate director of The Commons. "But artists can also benefit from the understandings uncovered by scientists." The relationship Yochim speaks of provides students with new learning tools. By training them to work across fields such as art and science, they become better prepared to face issues such as climate change, healthcare reform and the depletion of natural resources, all of which have cultural as well as natural implications. Students, faculty members and organizations across campus have used what Hagen and Yochim both consider essential collaborations between science and art to find new perspectives for themselves as well as for others. Here's a look at a few of these collaborations. FINDING CONNECTIONS During one of those dreaded organic chemistry exams that human biology majors are always complaining about, Ali Ainsworth, St. Louis senior, is calmer than most. Rather than thinking about the purely chemical nature of the compounds she's supposed to be connecting. Ainsworth looks at the structures in terms of movement and pattern, like learning a dance combination. If one structure has a certain function, it will always have that function, just like the dance moves in a combination will always follow a pattern. Though she hasn't always noticed this relationship between art and science in her studies, Ainsworth, a double major in human biology and dance, realized after completing a research project on ballet and neurobiology that, like on her organic chemistry tests, she subconsciously uses one field to reinforce the other. A dancer from a young age, Ainsworth originally came to the University thinking she would dance professionally. Her interest in science, a field she enjoys because it seems to "explain" things, led to her dual studies. She recognized the connections between the two when she received an Undergraduate Research Award from the Honors Program to study the relationship between ballet and neurobiology. Ultimately, Ainsworth found that several different brain functions are at work during dance. When she draws her leg up and spins around gracefully in a pirouette, Ainsworth employs the movement function of her brain. Likewise, when she memorizes the eight-counts of a new combination, she uses her cognitive, or memory, function. Seeing these connections between science and art, Ainsworth now looks at the two in relation to each other, noticing how dance can be used in more ways than performance. As a dancer in last spring's Tree of Life performance at the Lied Center, for example, Ainsworth combined dance and science in a multimedia performance aimed at educating and entertaining audiences about evolution. TWO UNUSUAL PERFORMANCES The auditorium is pitch black, and the only glimmer of light comes from a neon speck beginning to form on the stage up ahead. A scientist, fashioned from glow-in-the-dark lights, enters the stage and begins building some sort of animal. The scientist's name is Dr. Henslow and his latest creation is a neon-lit dinosaur named Darwin.

To save himself from an untimely eating, Dr. Henslow gives Darwin a heart, sparking a tender exchange between two unlikely friends. Encouraged by Dr. Henslow, Darwin sets out into the night, accompanied by brightly lit fireflies, to explore the world and encounters many new creatures, including a gangly ostrich named Verla and a beautiful fish named Peche, who all give Darwin a new perspective on the world. This story will unfold at the Lied Center when Darwin the Dinosaur, presented by CORBIAN Visual Arts and Dance, comes to Lawrence on Oct. 3. The production uses electroluminescent lights and puppetry to explore the relationships between humans and creatures. This performance, says Karen Christilles, associate director of the Lied Center, carries on the ains started with the Creative Campus Project, a campaign to promote interdisciplinary learning that included last year's Tree of Life performance. Darwin the Dinosaur combines topics of evolution and creation; exploration and discovery; and art and emotion to look at how humans interact with nature. The bond formed between Darwin and Dr. Henslow, which is most touching in the final moments when Darwin battles the menacing red dinosaur Brutus to save Dr. Henslow's life, teaches audiences to treat their environments with mutual respect, promoting ideas of sustainability. ***** A giant screen projection in the middle of the stage shows a scientist making a simple statement: "How do I ask a question?" A jazzy piano riff begins playing as male and female dancers — one at a time, at first, and then in small groups — take the stage dressed in organic-looking costumes that accentuate their fast-paced movements. More images fill the large screen behind them and two smaller screens on stage, displaying a mix of dancers and scientists asking more questions. "How is our body able to react to changes as we grow and get older?" The dancers move fluidly across the stage, interacting with each other through lifts and synchronized movements, but the performance ends with a single dancer in the middle of the stage, twirling along with the piano's tune before she exits the stage. The opening act of Liz Lerman's Ferocious Beauty: Genome begins an interesting exchange between art and science. When Lerman began working on *Ferocious Beauty*, which will be performed by the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange Nov. 7 at the Lied Center, she realized she had the challenge of communicating both genetics and modern dance, two fields that are often misunderstood, to people in a way that both would be understandable. Collaborating with more than 30 scientists, Lerman choreographed the human genome — the map of all human genes — creating a dance that is both humorous and graceful. Using dance and video, Lerman created a literal dialogue on stage: Portions of the interviews she did with scientists play during the performances, raising questions and ideas such as, "Science is neutral. It always has been; it always will be." that performers and audiences alike can reflect on as they see the human genome presented in a new light. Events such as these and others, including last month's Amanda Shaw performance, which combined the singer's musical talents with her environmental efforts, and the upcoming performance by the Kronos Quartet, embody the Lied Center's overarching goal of promoting interdisciplinary ways of thinking about art. "With performances like Ferocious Beauty and Darwin the Dinosaur, we see art in a much broader sense," Christilles says. "These ideas allow artists and audiences to question what art is and where it's going." continued on page 12 These current and upcoming events engage audiences with their collaborations between science and art on campus this fall: xy An exhibition that uses visual arts to ask, "What does it mean to be a man?"

Two banners illustrating the lower bodies of two men — more affectionately known by many of the Spencer staff as "the guys in Speedos" — both greet and shock museum visitors. These images, part of the xy exhibition, which runs till Oct. 4, takes a scientific idea — male sexuality is determined by the X and Y chromosomes — and uses art to ask what it means to be a man and how visual representations affect our view of male sexuality. The xy exhibition is one example of the many recent collaborations between art and science happening at the Spencer. "We are in the unique position to use objects—and relatively interesting objects—to investigate issues related to and involving art," says Kate Meyer, print room curatorial assistant at the museum. Last spring, the Spencer used the power of objects to explore issues like climate change and environmental sustainability with three innovative partnerships. Climate Change at the Poles, A Greenland Glacier and Trees and Other Ramifications all illustrated how different approaches to subjects create new ways of looking at ideas for both artists and scientists. For example, with A Greenland Glacier, the Spencer commissioned photographer Terry Evans to work with the on-campus Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) during its research on the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland. Evans' photographs of ice fiords leading into the glacier are equally breathtaking and haunting; virtually no human presence is documented and yet the human threat on these disappearing landscapes is apparent. Her photographs, like the images compiled by CReSIS on the same trip, examine the effects humans have on fragile ecosystems. Her artistic rendering attempts to question how art can be used to communicate these ideas. With works like Evans' photographs, says Steve Goddard, senior curator of prints and drawings, the Spencer wants to move away from the idea that art only illustrates things. "Today, the questions are so big that no one discipline can answer them," Goddard says. Because we learn so naturally from images, collaborations between science and art enable us to work toward finding solutions for these questions as well to ask others. For instance, The Graphic Imperative: International Posters for Peace, Social Justice and the Environment, 1965-2005, on display till Nov. 29, addresses a multitude of themes and concerns, including health, AIDS and the environment. Ultimately, as the Spencer plans future collaborations with scientists and becomes more of an integral part of campus, the power and beauty of objects is what makes science and art so well-matched. "Art adds a sort of dignity and emotion to the objects that scientists also look at," Meyer says. "By using these objects to address functional ideas like climate change and trees, we can look at them from different angles and ask, 'How do we feel about them?'""Jp ULTIMATE TAN Tanning Lawrence for 20+ Years! 1 Month Unlimited $32 Regular Beds New Customer Special 3 Sessions + 1 Free: $14 2449 Iowa St., Suite O Lawrence, KS 66047 785.B42.A949 No Membership Required MANUAL Hand BEYOND OFFICE HOURS Getting to know your professors is more than standard protocol if you want to succeed in a class. But students can reap the benefits of close relationships with professors and advisors both during and after college. On the third floor of Wescoe Hall, which is infamous for its sharp edges, cold façade and Kafkaesque hallways, there is a room that appears to be almost the polar opposite of the unwelcoming structure that harbors it. Walking into room 3019, you immediately notice a wicker chair covered with a blanket standing to the corner, stuffed animals spread around the bookshelves, and a table sustaining a coffee machine, tea set and jar of candy. You will also likely find Mary Klayder ready to chat about anything that is on your mind — whether it be complaining about classes, dealing with present personal problems or preparing for future career plans. "I like to think this is a safe spot," says Klayder, who has been an honors lecturer at the University since 1992. She has advised hundreds of students throughout those years and has developed a close relationship with more than a handful of them. Students who develop close relationships with mentors such as Klayder are not only more likely to succeed in college, but they may also reap benefits after graduating. Relationships with mentors give students an added sense of security during the exciting and troubling years on the hill. Mandy Shriwise, Overland Park senior, has had Klayder as a professor and an advisor for the last five years. During that time, Klayder helped her deal with personal crises, choosing classes and making the necessary connections to succeed. Former students of Klayder have helped Shririe with her graduate school applications. Shriwise first met Klayder in her freshman English 105 class and started visiting her during office hours to try to figure out some of the uncertainties that plague almost every freshman. "I never expected to have a relationship like that with my professors," Shriwise says. "I was surprised by it." The relationship Shriwise forged with Klayder has been crucial for her academic development. As undergraduates, students have so many interests that one of the goals is to narrow them down and prepare for the future. Mentors are just the people to help with that process. Klayder says that it can be hard on students when they don't have a feeling of connection to the University, especially in their freshman year. "KU can get really small once you know it, but you've got to know how to make those connections." As Klayder explains, a lot of what she does is send people to other people. She is the "networking lady." Steve Munch, '06 graduate and now a law student at Northwestern University, experienced Mary Klayder's networking prowess first hand as he got to know her better. While he was still at the University, Klayder directed Munch to two professors who would go on to greatly influence his college experience and future graduate school career. Munch says when you build personal bonds with professors and they get to know you as an individual, it is easier for them to guide you in the right direction. // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA Successful college students know how to ask question and how to use the resources available to them, and developing a relationship with professors is a combination of both, says Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success. Some of the tangible benefits of creating a bond with a faculty member range from possibly getting an A instead of a B to being offered research and employment opportunities at the University. proactive and forge those connections. And even though some students may be nervous about approaching their professors, once they take the risk they realize how open the faculty is, Roney says. Shriwise says that students need to change their perception once they come to college and realize they have to take a vested interest in their education. It's up to the student to be "Break the wall and you'll be successful," Shrwise says. But it's not only the students who benefit from these relationships. By talking with students, professors have an opportunity to see how the information they are transmitting works in today's world and if they have to make any changes to their methodology, Roney says. And in many cases the relationship moves beyond the purely professional sphere. Students stay in touch with advisors and friendships can develop. Throughout October and April, Klayder's busiest months in terms of advising, it is common to see a line forming out of her office door full of students waiting to talk to her. As for proof that her networking leads to more than just academic and professional connections? So far she has been to two weddings of students who met in her busy hallway. HOW TO CREATE A BOND - Visit your professor during office hours, even if you don't have any questions. - \* Take advantage of the "Take Your Professor to Lunch" program. Check the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences website at clas.ku.edu for information. - Don't limit your interactions with professors from your department. Sometimes the best advisors are those who aren't in your field of interest. - If you are insecure about approaching a professor, use e-mail. - Keep in touch. Let the person know about your summer plans and projects you are working on.

The subtitles may be a bit daunting, but if you're willing to just give it a shot, the experience of watching a foreign film can be rewarding. Brendan Costello, a 2007 film graduate who now works at Liberty Hall, says foreign films are often a step ahead of Hollywood in terms of creativity. That's because the makers of foreign CHINA + HONG KONG Photo by Patrick De Oliveira films aren't under as many restrictions as movies done under big production companies, and can try risky performances — essentially, they're free from the Hollywood machine. Overseas enjoyment: Pick up a foreign film and you can pick up a lot of cultural subtext, as well as possible previews to upcoming Hollywood trends. Foreign films are full of cultural subtext, which may help broaden your understanding of a certain region. That subtext is lost in remakes, though, so watching The Ring and watching Ringu (its Japanese counterpart) are two very different experiences. There is no specific country you should start with. "Each country has its little charm," Costello says. But when it comes to new releases he has two recommendations: Let the Right One In, a 2008 Swedish romantic vampire movie, and The Class, a 2008 semi-biographical French film about a teacher's challenges in an inner city school. A night with either of them would be well worth the time. // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA essential life skills // SENDING FLOWERS in case of emergency, read quickly. So, you met your true love at Brothers last week. But how do you show her this week you're still interested? Flower Power Floral & Design Business www.flowerspower.com PLEASE NOTE: This floral design is not available for purchase. Sending flowers can be expensive — the average price of a dozen roses in Lawrence is $60 still, a bouquet of roses will show her you mean business, and are not just interested in sex. Photo by Francesca Chambers Stacia Gudmonson, Independence junior, says her boyfriend usually sends her an assortment of flowers or pink roses. But if you're about to spend this week's paycheck on flowers, make sure you know what you're sending. "It would kind of send a red flag if he sent yellow," she says, "but then I'd remember he probably doesn't know what they mean." Most people know red roses are symbolic of love and yellow roses mean friendship, but what if neither of those colors sends the right message? Flower-dictionary.com calls pink flowers "red's youthful counterpart," saying pink roses are about "innocent happiness," which is more suitable for a new romance. If you are not feeling pink, try orange on for size. Flower Dictionary says orange exudes both passion Flowers of friendship. Yellow roses signify friendship, so red or pink may better a better expression of your budding romance. and extreme happiness. Once you've selected a color and type of flower, it's time to pick a place to send them. Gudmonson says her boyfriend has always delivered them to her personally or had them delivered to her at home, but she would appreciate receiving flowers at work so she can show off not only the flowers, but also her boyfriend's generosity. Gudmonson's last piece of advice to those sending flowers is to be sneaky. Her boyfriend was too obvious last week when he sent her flowers. Don't call your girlfriend and ask where she is before you send them; she won't be surprised when the flowers arrive, Gudmonson says. // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS the Granada UPCOMING SHOWS BASS LEGEND Victor Wooten & Family Groove Co.

She recommends putting a spot treatment on the spill before you wash the garment and letting it soak in. Pre-treating the stain will increase your chances of getting it all out. Then wash the piece of clothing like you normally would, and the spot should be erased. But don't forget another important step: once the garment has gone through the washing cycle, make sure you look at the stain before you put it in the dryer. If there's still a little bit left, use more spot treatment and send it through another wash cycle. When the stain is gone, go ahead and dry it. Most pesky spills can be washed out using this method, but Clark says to remember not to rub or scrub the stain to get it out. This actually makes things worse, rubbing the fabric will change the texture and appearance of that spot once it's washed, making it look worse than it did before. in case of emergency, read quickly.

Bonnie Spoon, owner of The Spoon Sisters, says that although it was originally designed for camping, the spork is a great gift for college students because of its resourcefulness. She suggests substituting the spork for plasticware commonly found at takeout restaurants. "I love the fact that with this product you can help save the planet," she says, referring to the spork's reusability. The spork, which is made of a durable heat-resistant material, is available at spoonsisters.com and comes in three size and color combinations: small/green, medium/orange and large/silver.

Nothing ruins the day like waking up to find a huge nasty zit on your chin. Your fingers may be itching to pop it, but experts say you ought to keep your hands off. Those day-ruining pimples form when your body's naturally produced oils combine with dirt from the outside environment, clogging a pore. When this happens bacteria attack the goop inside the pore, which creates that unattractive red bump, says Soony Hall, certified physician assistant at the Wichita Clinic office for dermatology. Even though it's tempting to give that zit a squeeze, it can actually make your acne worse. The bacteria oozing from the infected pore can spread and clog other pores, leading to more yucky blemishes. The best way to avoid popping your pimples is simply to keep your acne in control by cleansing your face daily. Hall says, "It's like brushing your Popping your pimples can also expose you to outside germs and lead to infections, says Kathy Tompkins, licensed practical nurse at American Dermatology Associates in Shawnee. Opening your skin by force irritates the pore. If you do this often enough it can make pores bigger and eventually cause scarring, she says. Also, because every pore on your face contains a hair follicle, pinching that follicle irritates it, which can lead to an infection. teeth. It's something you have to do every day," she says. If you absolutely refuse to leave the house with a whitehead on your face, don't pick at it. Hall recommends using a comedone extractor. This device, often used during facials, uses a pin to remove the gunk from a pimple without spreading bacteria or abusing the skin. "You have to be kind to your face because that skin isn't like any other skin on your body." Tompkins says.

The ponytail has long been a quick hairstyle fix for bad-hair days, when we're in a hurry, or when we just don't want our hair in our face. But could what you've always considered a quick fix be hurting your scalp? --- Lawrence dermatologist Matthew Buxton says a common and often overlooked problem he sees among his female patients occurs after they get in the habit of pulling their hair up while it's wet. Buxton says that the wet hair holds in moisture and heat. The combination of heat and moisture promotes dermatitis, a minor hair follicle infection. This scaling rash is fairly common and may appear on the scalp as a dry spot with pinkish color that can cause itching. Photo illustration by Amy Johnson PonyFall: Putting your hair up when it's wet could cause dermatitis. While this rash is typically harmless, Buxton says you should take precautions when sculpting the perfect ponytail. If you're really in a rush and your hair is wet, try just blow-drying the roots of your hair to keep the scalp area dry and rash-free. // AMYJOHNSON VERDICT: BAD FOR YOU Comedy Show KU HOMECOMING Comedy Show Tuesday, October 6, 2009 Lied Center of Kansas University of Kansas 7:30 p.m. $6 Student Saver $10 KU Students with KUID $15 General Public Kristen Schaal from Flight of the Conchords TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW LIED CENTER BOX OFFICE 785.864.2787 *Price before $1 Lied Center Transaction fee peace love jayhawks UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HOMECOMING 2009 The Blanks aka Ted's Band from Scrubs SUA SUAEVENTS.COM AVAILABLE NOW LIED CENTER BOX OFFICE 785.864.2787 *Price before $1 Lied Center Transaction fee peace love jayhawks FESTIVALS OF HUNGS-HOMECOMING 2009 The Blanks aka Ted's Band from Scrubs SUA SUAEVENTS.COM 17 09 17 09 √ REVIEW 6 restaurant review // FREE STATE BREWERY the taste of the town. one meal at a time. The Free State Brewing Co., a local favorite in the heart of downtown Lawrence, has been a hotspot for students since it opened in 1989. The brewery and restaurant combo opened as the first legal brewery in Kansas in more than 100 years. Free State features a wide array of cuisine including burgers, sandwiches, salads, pasta and more. During my visit, I sampled the black bean quesadillas, the brewery burger and the cheddar ale soup. All of the dishes at Free State were much better than the average fare you might expect at a bar, making it a perfect place to bring famished friends. The staff at Free State is always friendly, and will help you narrow down your choices from the vast menu. If you have your heart set on Free State, be prepared to wait for a table for up to 30 minutes, even on a weeknight. The ever-popular restaurant seems too small to accommodate all of its loyal fans, although the excellent food proves to be worth the wait. If a little loud, the otherwise fun atmosphere begs you to stay for some post-dinner chat. try Free State Brewery for a meal guaranteed to be top-notch.

BY RON CURRIE JR. reading. it's not just for textbooks, you know. Movies, TV shows and books about the end of the world are nothing new. American entertainment is obsessed with when and how Earth's demise will occur. Will aliens destroy us? Is the year 2012 the year of the world's sudden demise? And so on. Such an influx of apocalyptic entertainment makes it difficult for an author to write about the end of the world in a way that is entertaining without being cliché or repetitive. But that is exactly what Ron Currie Jr. succeeds in doing with his most recent novel titled Everything Matters! Whether everything (or anything at all) actually matters is what the protagonist, Junior, strives to figure out throughout the entirety of the book. When Junior is still in utero, an unidentified, omniscient voice bestows knowledge about the end of the earth upon his unborn ears. Junior then grows up understanding that the world will end when he is 36 years and 168 days old, and because of this understanding, it is difficult for him to see any rhyme or reason in what he does. Why does anything matter when the end is just around the corner? Junior struggles to answer that question, and he has to come to terms with his burden of knowledge. He needs to decide who to share the secret with and how to spend his life, and he encounters devastating yet comical situations during his 36 years on Earth. Everything Matters! is a book that is both unusual and existential, but not too much of either. Currie uses just the right amount of humor in an otherwise tragic story to make the novel an engaging and original read. ★★★ // AMANDA SORELL genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT DAILY LUNCH EXPRESS $9.50 pizza or pasta $7.50 sandwich or salad BAR MENU Mozzarella-stuffed mozzarella Ahi tuna tartare Baked Pei mussels Grassfed beef carpaccio Gnocchi Zuchinni chips Rosemary flat bread 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM 09 17 18 genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT DAILY LUNCH EXPRESS $9.50 pizza or pasta $7.50 sandwich or salad BAR MENU Mozzarella-stuffed mozzarella Ahi tuna tartare Baked Pei mussels Grassfed beef carpaccio Gnocchi Zuchinni chips Rosemary flat bread 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM Granada 1020 Massachusetts - Lawrence, KS.

Wolf's customary way with words shines on this album and his delivery is less staccato, more "sung" than in the past. Recorded at the same time as the group's previous album, Alopecia, Eskimo Snow has been under production for more than two years but has managed to come out without losing the raw, under-produced sound that Why? relies on. Why? founder Yoni Wolf says this album is the "least hip-hop thing" he's ever been involved with, which is too bad, but doesn't mean Eskimo Snow isn't a damn fine album. Check out "One Rose Walk, Insomniac" for a more upbeat dose of folk-pop that features a quirky chorus in the style that has become Wolf's trademark. The title track is a strong example of Why?'s ability to make melancholy enjoyable. "January Twenty Something" and "Against Me" are probably most representative of the forward progress this album represents for Why?, and are two of the better tracks on the album. music review // 'ESKIMO SNOW' BY WHY?

Exactly what I shouldn't be, I thought as I tried to form the words to explain myself, though I knew she would understand. I had lost myself in the stacks once again at work, and I wasn't willing to come back just yet. While wandering the aisles, I stumbled upon a copy of A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, a 1929 first edition. It had a dark blue cover that was completely blank and pages that were soft to the touch from years of sitting on a shelf. I was drawn to the faded gold writing along the spine and the author's name. I found myself opening it, reading the name of the original owner and the year 1930 written inside. And before I knew it I was reading the first page. I had reached the point of no return. I read quickly, as though if I didn't keep up the words would disappear forever. As the words raced by I found I had walked my way to a stool, and sat down in between the aisles. I was so wrapped up in it, I couldn't stop. I was supposed to be doing my actual job at the Spencer Research Library. I was supposed to be helping patrons, paging things from the shelves and returning books to their proper homes. But when there is no work to be done, I often find myself getting lost in the stacks. The rare book collection has me smitten. The thousands of books tucked behind a glass encasing are off limits to the outside world. The only public area is the North Gallery, where people can see the shelves from a distance behind a glass casing. Two levels the size of a large room holding impressive and rare books ranging from a Gutenberg Bible leaf to a large collection of children's books to ancient books written in Latin to many different selections of Shakespeare. Now that I work there, those stacks are my domain, and I hold the key to get inside that locked door. Workers are the only ones with full access to the actual books, for we are the ones who pull the items when patrons request them. When I walk through that door into the stacks, it's like time suddenly stops. It's just me with all of the books; all of my outside problems disappear. Homework, deadlines, friends, drama it all vanishes once the heavy metal door shuts behind me. And looking at all of those magnificent works of literature makes me realize how small I am in the grand scheme of things. All of these people came before me, just like so many more will come after me. Just like the names of the owners written in the books, I am a person who will one day be forgotten. But the things I own and the things I touch will one day have meaning, even if my name doesn't. And all of those problems I left at the entrance won't matter in the end, so why should I get caught up in them now? Inside that sanctuary I feel like I'm-Alice in my own Wonderland, stumbling upon new and exciting things at every turn. Everyone else has to go to the Spencer with a mission, a specific book in mind to be brought to them and read in a separate room. But I don't need a mission; the whole collection is at my fingertips. Now I can get inside that glass encasement and smell the musty, old book smell. I'll disappear for periods of time, but you can find me roaming the aisles, touching every book and flipping through pages, something the average person can't do. For an English nerd like me, being surrounded by old books is heaven. I loved flipping open the cover of a 1911 copy of Peter Pan and seeing the Christmas note written inside. I loved finding a first edition of The Importance of Being Earnest from 1899 and wondering who originally owned it, and I loved dreaming about how the 1818 copy of Jane Austen's Persuasion made its journey across the pond, and finally to this particular library. For me the books don't just contain stories inside their weathered pages. To me each book has its own story, an unknown story about who owned it before, what the owner was like, how he or she got this book, how the cover got torn, how this particular book made it to this library and thousands of other narratives. The answers to those questions and stories I will never know, but I love dreaming about the endless possibilities And that is precisely what I was doing crouched on the stool reading A Room of One's Own. Then suddenly I was brought back to reality when I was interrupted by that voice, the voice of another worker who was surprised to find someone else lurking in the stacks. "I was just doing some reading," I responded with a smile, hoping she wouldn't think I was too crazy. She laughed and walked away, continuing her mission. And I turned again to Woolf, jumping back into London in the 1920s, and a woman's place in that now distant world.

Jewish students stay in town for holiday BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrechtkansan.com Alex Atlas, San Antonio sophomore, said it was roughly one year ago today that she felt one of the strangest feelings of her life. Throughout her childhood and teenage years, Atlas said, she had celebrated Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, with more than 50 of her family members. That night was the first time she had spent the Jewish New Year without her family in San Antonio, now a 13-hour drive away from her new home in Lawrence. "It it was really weird. I didn't really feel a connection," Atlas said, "I could call my mom, but she was always in services. This year, I'm trying to get more involved in the Jewish community." The New Year celebrates the creation of the world, said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel of the Chabad Jewish Center on 19th Street. Atias and other Jewish students at the University will observe the The holiday begins at sunset tonight and will mark the start of year 5770 in the Jewish calendar. holiday by attending a celebration at the Chabad Jewish Center tonight. Tiechtel said it was not uncommon or unusual for students, like Atlas, to feel a sense of shock their first Jewish New Year away from home. He said the focus of the celebration tonight, which includes both a traditional Jewish meal and a service, would be to recreate a setting similar to the family environment they were used to having at home. He said the Chabad Jewish Center had hosted a similar event for the past three years, but for the first time students would get to help lead the service portion of the evening. "It's a mega, mega holiday so everyone makes the effort to attend," Tiechtel said. "We thought the best way to start off "Generally in Judaism, on many holidays, the focus is not so much family," Tiechtel said. "This is one of those holidays where it's known that the focus of the holiday is family."

She said sharing problems helped Franklin, who volunteered at the rally, said she hoped the event would help break the silence for these survivors. She said the guest speakers and the candlelight speak-out circle gave people an opportunity to hear the stories of others.

Drew Weidner, Overland Park senior and president of the Sports Marketing Club, said the project would make the stadium look more professional. He said it was important for the Athletics Department and athletics director Lew Perkins to keep facilities competitive with other football programs. "With the success of the football team right now, they're striking while the iron is hot," Weidner said.

Max's book of the same title chronicles some of his life experiences and was on the New York Times Bestseller list. BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com Adam Buhler/KANSAN aarchibald@kansan.com In all his arrogant and unnaturally charismatic glory, Tucker Max's tour bus pulled into Lawrence to promote the 33-year-old's new movie, "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell," on Sept. 16. His appearance provoked reactions from fans and critics alike. Max, the self-proclaimed asshole and author, graduated with a law degree in 2001 from Duke Law School. Since then he has been writing books, signing contracts and touring the country to promote the movie adaptation of his book, "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell." The movie was previewed at Liberty Hall on Wednesday night to a full house of more than 500 people, including fans, readers and press. "The tour is going great," Max said. "It sold out weeks ago and everything is going nuts. We have six more stops left before the premiere on the 25th of September Fratire, aka "dude lit," is a genre illustrating young male The movie, Max said, was loosely based on his short story, The Austin Road Trip. While Max maintains that "What he does is funny and captivating to us because it's not characteristic of all guys." leads in their quest to find masculinity through excessive drinking, sexcapades and other egotistical acts. "Don't kiss and tell is bullshit," NANCY HOCH Mexico senior all of his written stories are completely true, he did admit that much of the movie was embellished. The movie portrays how Max (Matt Czuchry) talks his buddy Drew (Jesse Bradford) and best friend Dan (Geoff Stults) into lying to Dan's fiancé so they can go to a strip club in Salem to celebrate Dan's last days of being single. Max first achieved fame with his blog, TuckerMax.com, which began in 2002, and then with his first book in 2006. Since then he has been nominated to Time Magazine's list of the Top 100 Most Influential People and has been dubbed the forerunner in the literary genre known as "fratire," though Max was never in a fraternity himself. Max said. "If you aren't willing to talk about things you've done in public, then don't do it." his movie say, is just like "The Hangover" but doused in buckets of beige frat boy vomit." As one might expect, this genre has not gone without controversy and criticism. One reviewer for the satirical online The Onion, insulted saying, "Your movie Women and protesters on college campuses have also deemed his writing as sexist and misogynistic to the point of promoting a "culture of rape." Many college students, however, enjoy what Max is doing and see it as nothing but a witty and relatable form of entertainment. "What Tucker Max does is supposed to be entertainment and entertainment only." Nancy Hoch, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, senior, said. "What he does is funny and captivating to us because it's not characteristic of all guys." "Younger boys try to imitate me, which is the dumbest thing anyone could do." Max also awknowledged that his behavior was not common and said he felt lucky to be able to make a profession out of what he does. "Younger boys try to imitate me, which is the dumbest thing anyone could do," Max said. "You can't be like anybody else. All you can do is try to be the best version of yourself possible and that's the lesson they need to learn." So what's coming next for Tucker? He already has a best selling book and movie, but he said. he doesn't intend to get a real job until he absolutely has to. The success of his first book prompted Max to sign a deal with Simon Spotlight. He received a $300,000 advance, a record amount for a blogger, to create a novel. "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell," called "Assholes Finish First." "We do the same stuff, just on a different level." Hoch said. "People who get angry about that are just giving him what he wants." —Edited by Jonathan Hermes NEW YEAR (CONTINUED FROM 1A) the New Year was to have students leading the service in different aspects." Tiechtel said that each year the event had grown in popularity. This year, he said he anticipated a crowd of more than 100 students and that any student could attend. One of the new students planning to join the event this year, Tim Gershon, Overland Park senior, said he had traveled to his home for Rosh Hashana for the past three years, but this year a Saturday wedding kept him from making the trip. Gershon, like Atlas, said he thought the large turnout at the Chabad Jewish Center would make it feel more like a typical Jewish New Year celebration at home. "I have one of the biggest families in Kansas City." Gerson said. "We would get 20 to 30 of us together. I'm kind of excited to see what Chabad is going to do for the New Year." Gershon said one of the parts he was most excited for was the food. He said a typical Jewish New Year dinner usually consisted of many traditional foods, including a circular challah bread. Atlas said the circular challah had always represented the fundamental feel of the celebration. "A lot of people put raisins in," Atlas said. "I used to think it represented the bumps and the mistakes you make in a year. The fact that the hollow is round represents the circular cycle of life" Atlas said the most encouraging part of that type of cycle was that each year represented a new beginning. That, she said, was mostly why the Rosh Hashana holiday was so special in particular. "It's the most important one," she said. "New Years on January 1 more of an excuse for people to party. Rosh Hashana is about a fresh start."

EDITORIAL BOARD Attention new provost Put student needs first After the success of hiring Bernadette Gray-Little as a new chancellor, the search has now begun for a new provost. Though the University should take the time to hire the candidate with the most experience, drive and goori oriented attitude, the University should also hire the candidate who will seek to benefit the student body as a whole. Mabel Rice, chairwoman of the search committee, said the hiring process is very lengthy and the committee would do its best to get the word out about the position opening, while also pursuing candidates aggressively. The job description of a provost is very broad and ambitious. "We will be focusing on a recruitment process that is very active in nature," Rice said. "We certainly hope to have someone named by the end of the spring semester." the search committee is currently working on what kinds of qualities each candidate should have for the job. The provost has to report directly to the chancellor and he also has a wide range of responsibilities, Rice said. She also said KANSAN'S OPINION One very important quality of the new provost will be the ability to work well with the chancellor Between the two of them, many priorities and initiatives are enacted to further the progress of the University. provost's Web site lists several initiatives the previous full-time chancellor, Robert Hemenway, has backed. Currently, the One example of the initiatives, which is entitled "Initiative 2015: Shaping KU's Future," focuses on implementing recommendations from three task forces — comprised of faculty, staff and students alike — on bases of teaching, learning, discovering and innovating. PAGE 5A Programs such as "initiative 2015" are extremely beneficial to student life in general, and the new provost should make it a priority to focus on all students in the University, not just specific departments. Rice said she hoped the provost would have very broad goals for his time with the University. "Mainly, some of their goals should be to ensure that the University is a leading university, to help provide a quality educational experience for all students, enhance the research mission and also work closely with the chancellor in formulating university-wide objectives," Rice said. With the hiring of Chancellor Gray-Little and the search for the new provost having begun, current students are witnessing a change in leadership that signals the start of a new era for the University. We have seen growth in the past, and to grow even further, we need a provost who will make student success a priority and dive head-first into every goal set forth. By the end of the spring semester, we should have a provost who supports programs that put the focus on students first. — Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board POLITICS GOP tactics difficult to stomach A man signs a petition and later says he wishes he hadn't. A few years later he's forced out of a job because of it. That is what happened last week to Van Jones, a member of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Jones, one of the founders of Color of Change, an organization dedicated to advancing issues significant to African Americans, has also been a vocal advocate for the creation of green jobs. Earlier this year, he was appointed a special advisor for green jobs, enterprise and innovation for the aforementioned Council on Environmental Quality. Now, this sounds like a pretty good position, and obviously there's some prestige to it. It isn't head of the EPA or secretary of the interior, per se, but it is a spot on a White House committee, and therefore can have a major impact on environmental policy. Still, Jones seems like a small fish to fry if Republicans are attempting to pick off members of the Obama administration. But apparently he's become an easy target. LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BEN COHEN The primary offense seems to be his signing, a few years ago, of So he briefly associated with "truthers," the name given to people who believe 9/11 came from something other than angry terrorists committing an organized act of mass murder. I don't like them and neither do most people capable of rational thought. a petition urging the Bush administration to reveal supposedly hidden information about their alleged involvement in 9/11. Jones himself eventually distanced himself from the truthers and the petition he signed, saying in an interview that it didn't reflect his views "now or ever." Seizing upon this episode, far right pundits, particularly Glenn Beck, began smearing Jones as a "self-awowed communist" The blog WorldNet Daily published an article in April which echoed the "communist" claim and threw in a healthy dose of good old-fashioned racism, criticizing Jones of being a "black nationalist" who supposedly named his son after Amicar Cabral, a "late Marxist revolutionary leader." For good measure, I'll also mention that the article I got all of this from was titled "Will a 'Red' help blacks go green?" Remember, this guy has a long history of political activism, which of course makes him a communist. This is somehow relevant to how Jones wanted to focus on the cross-sectionality of racial and environmental concerns. Not entirely sure how, but I'm probably blinded by not being terrified by minorities who also support progressive causes. Sadly, Beck, WorldNet and the hosts of fringe conservatives they appeal to have already won out in this case. Jones was an easy target for people looking to bring down somebody in the Obama administration. I'm as much for mercilessly criticizing public figures as anyone, but could there have been a point to this? After their constant criticism, Jones opted to resign his post, saying that he felt it would be distracting to the his colleagues to have such an embattled figure in their midst.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A recent column by Sai Folmsbee, "How genetics can help explain homosexuality," made the case that it is highly probable that homosexuality can be explained with biological reasoning. He stressed the number of disciplines it involves and how "difficult it is to interpret." This leaves the reader asking, "How?" when they should be asking, "So what?" Such articles point readers in the wrong direction. Sweet Susie's mind is programmed to go out and wonder why the lesbian next door likes some other girl and not any of her nice guy friends. Homosexuality: Where science fails Causes and effects aren't necessary when it comes to people. Knowing the scientific cause of Aunt Judy's hot flashes and increasing PMS don't help her family tolerate her, but their love and understanding for her well-being does. She asks, "Why do you think you're gay?" or "Do you think you were born this way?" But Susie should really be wondering how she could make friends with this person. She is no fool. She understands that her neighbor is a person just like her, and sometimes life has no answers. The wise girl loves without judgment and finds ways to accommodate others in pursuit of her own happiness. Science is of course important, and it's reasonable to agree the origin of sexuality is a topic worthy of research in the field. But it is no more relevant whether biology can explain sexuality than it is that evolution can explain dark skin, or that problems during pregnancy may account for mental disabilities. Society must still accommodate and accept all individuals through social interaction and political processes. VOTE TO PROTECT STUDENT RIGHTS James Castle is an Overland Park sophomore.

JAMES FARMER A R T I O N! Finding a better way to discuss abortion The signs were clear: "Warning, graphic photos ahead." Of course the first thing anyone wants to do when reading these words is look, so regretfully I did. My reaction at first glance was one of disgust, followed by sadness, then anger and finally confusion. I had to wonder, what did Justice For All really think it was accomplishing with silly warnings and grotesque images? For the third time during my college career I witnessed a giant 18-foot display of aborted fetuses and other graphic images that Justice For All, an advocacy group from Wichita, feels compelled to display year after year. It was obvious the group's purpose was to persuade college students not to support abortion. The images and comparisons were used to evoke emotion in anyone viewing them. Those who strongly declare themselves pro-choice were likely angered by the display, though those who strongly consider themselves anti-abortion were likely enthused. Because the images simply clutch basic human emotions, people are quicker to become passionate about why they agree or disagree with Justice For All's intention. Therefore, common ground between these opposing viewpoints is more difficult to reach, and compromises rarely made. The images also presented only one aspect of the complex issue of abortion. Instead of addressing reasons that may lead to a woman's choice to have an abortion, the display stirs feelings of fear and guilt in the viewer. A decision simply made out of fear or guilt is not a well-defined decision. Justice For All chose to manipulate the emotions — and Justice For All was lawfully exercising its right to free speech with vivid images and tawdry comparisons with the Civil Rights Movement and the Holocaust. Though the overall objective of the display was obvious at first glance, the methods of persuasion were ineffective. CAMPUS CONNECTION ERIN BROWN BROWN therefore, decisions — of viewers instead of addressing relative factors central to the abortion debate. A woman's own testimony about why she had an abortion, and why she may have regretted it, is likely to be far more powerful than an 18-foot display with the purposes of frightening and disgusting anyone who sees it. Above all, I found the display to be highly disrespectful. According to abortion.org, 32 percent of women obtaining abortions in the United States are between the ages of 20 and 24, an age group that is a majority on college campuses. These statistics do not tell us who these women are, why they chose to have an abortion or how they might feel walking past a giant display with the intent of making its viewers feel guilty. First respecting those with different opinions is essential to persuading them otherwise. A graphic display of aborted fetuses does not demonstrate respect to anyone, especially to those who may be affected by abortion or issues surrounding abortion. The controversy surrounding abortion will always exist because it is an issue that pulls at human emotion and questions basic concepts of freedom and life. This recognition that mutual agreement will never exist must also coincide with a mutual quest for compromise. Both sides of the abortion debate can agree to work together to solve the problems that might cause abortions. Unfortunately, these solutions will never be possible with the use of fear tactics and a lack of respect. Brown is a junior in journalism and political science.

This Saturday at 1 p.m., the team plays its first match against Kansas State in Manhattan. Club president Brandon Holland, Lawrence senior, has no problem saying what the team goal for the season is. "We want to go to Westerns," Holland said. "That is our goal every year. We want to win every game we play." Helping to achieve this goal will be the welcome addition of two players from overseas. Tonderai Kambarami — referred to by his teammates as "T.K." — is a freshman from the Netherlands who plays outside center for the Jayhawks. Adam Grant is a junior exchange student from England who plays flanker. Both players have been impressed with the level of play they have seen so far in practice. "There really are a lot of talented players out here," Kambarami said. "I could see this team giving some of the teams back in Europe a run for their money, to be completely honest with you." Grant believes that the sport is really about to take off in America. "I see the level of play at practice and the passion people have here," Grant said. "I would not be surprised to see it become a popular sport here." 2009 KANSAS CLUB RUGBY FALL SCHEDULE With the first game coming against an in-state rival, the team knows what to expect.

"Our forward pack is much stronger then they are, so that is probably how we will play. Basic, strong forward ball." The forward pack for the rugby club has always been a strong point for the team, but with a revamped backline, Holland expects big things. "Our backline has shown a lot of potential in practice," Holland said. "Hopefully with our forward play we can suck the defense in, then spin it wide to the backs to score points." The newcomers are well aware of the rivalry and how important it is to defeat Kansas State this year after a tough loss the last year in Manhattan. "All I know is that we hate Kansas State and Missouri the most, so we are going to play with a lot of energy and emotion," Kambarami said. When asked what to expect with playing Kansas State and American teams in general, Grant said, "I expect a lot of big hits and physical play, Americans seem to love that, and with this rivalry I can anticipate a very physical match." — Edited By Jonathan Hermes SWIMMING AND DIVING Team re-introduces alumni season opener after break Alumni will compete against current team in relaxed meet BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com t For the first time since 2006, the Jayhawk swimming and diving team will host an alumni meet. The event, set to take place at Robinson Natatorium today at 4 p.m., experienced a brief hiatus simply as a result of poor timing. Coach Clark Campbell mentioned the team always seemed to be either busy or out of town. Despite the past scheduling problems, Campbell and his staff hope to make the meet an annual event. "I've never participated in an alumni meet," junior swimmer Alyssa Potter said, "So it should be a lot of fun." Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrew_taylor11 Potter's recruiting trip took place the last time the swimming and driving team hosted the alumni meet. She's looking forward to meeting and reuniting with several of the alumni. "They're really good to talk to "You don't just have to hang up your suit and googles." intrasquam meet on Oct. 9 in addition to the alumni meet, the first meet of the season. and relate with," Potter said. "It's the first meet, you don't know what shape you're in," former Kansas swimmer Maria Mayrovich said. "You just go for your best." The presence of an estimated 50 to 75 alumni also allows the athletes to gaze into the program's CLARK CAMPBELL Swimming coach The past two years the Jayhawks hosted an intrasquad meet to serve as a warm-up for the season. The team will still host its yearly long history. Several alumni from past men's swimming and diving teams will compete in the day's events. The men's swimming and diving program was cut in the early 2000s. "A lot of men swimmers are excited about racing our collegiate women swimmers," Campbell said. The event provides the athletes and alumni with a chance to have some good-spirited fun. A pentathlon of swimming events, including 50-yard sprints of three separate strokes, a 200-yard medley relay and a 200-yard free style relay, is planned. Several diving events will accompany the races. One entails the divers taking three dives from either the one-meter or three-meter board, with the score from their best dive kept. Campbell said he hoped the return of the alumni meet would give the current layhawk swimmers and divers an opportunity to see that their swimming or diving career doesn't have to end when they graduate. "You don't just have to hang up your suit and goggles," Campbell said. 100 — Edited by Lauren Cunningham Swimming alumna Danielle Herrmann swims down the lane before turning in the 50-yard breaststroke at the Robinson Center pool in a meet last season.

THE KANSAN HAS THE RIGHT OF DISCRETION WHEN PUBLISHING BLOCKS. 8A SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 PROGRAM (CONTINUED FROM 10A) before the season, the matchup has stirred interest amongst Kansas fans. After all, it's Duke. The two schools share a storied and intertwined past. They've met in big games with big name players and they've done so in front of big crowds. Yet all of that happened on the basketball court, far away from the football field. And Kansas and Duke share one more item from the past: The label of being a basketball school. Really, it's hard to argue. The Jayhawks rank third in victories; Duke ranks fourth. Kansas has won five national championships; Duke has three. And so on. The football field has yielded none of that success — at least not until recently. Duke has played in just two bowl games since 1960. In the last two decades, Duke has won 47 games "I signed before I even visited so I didn't really know what I was getting into ..." while suffering 167 losses (28 percent). They've tried five coaches in that span. None have had much success. BILL WHITTEMORE Former KU quarterback Since 2002, though, Kansas football program has slowly wiggled out from under the basketball team's shadow. Facilities gradually improved, victories accumulated and postseason games were won. Not long ago, none of that seemed realistic. Not in football anyway. This season represents an opportunity time to reflect on Kansas football's rise: From afterthought at a school associated almost solely with basketball to sellout crowds and national rankings. "We've made a lot of progress in the last few years," former coach Don Fambrough said. "We've made a lot of programs in the women's programs. We've made a lot of progress in everything. And yet we've kept our basketball program one of the best in the country along with that." --- In 2002, after spending two years at Fort Scott Community College, Whittemore wasn't concerned with tradition or winning pasts. Nor was he concerned with rabid fan bases or national exposure. Instead, Whittimore's search for a school focused on one point: the opportunity to play at the highest level. So what if Kansas hadn't posted a winning season since 1995? Kansas played in the Big 12. It was the best offer he had. "I signed before I even visited so I didn't really know what I was getting into," Whittemore said. "When I got up there, that's when Mangino and his staff were coming in. It was different." It was also bad. Between 1980 and 2000, Kansas had more losing seasons (15) than winning ones (five) while playing in just two bowl games. From 1997 to 2001, the Jayhawks won just 20 games in Terry Allen's five-year ten- are as coach. They never finished higher than fifth in the Big 12 North. Never won more than five games in a season. Never defeated Kansas State or Nebraska. Somewhere, losing crept into accepted culture. It became expected. "The prior classes, the (Terry) Allen classes from before, they weren't trying to do anything at Kansas," former running back Jon Cornish said. "They didn't have the same mindset as our recruiting class had." That first year, Whittemore said, was centered on tough love. Real tough love. Mangino set high standards and didn't waiver. Those who couldn't handle the expectations left. The losing had to go, and it wouldn't go easily. "Coach's goal coming in was to run that attitude out, weather the storm at that point, hunker down and make it through work out," Whittemore said. "A lot of people were quitting and he was just weeding out the program. There were too many guys there that were content with what Kansas football had been in the past." The turnaround started then, with a recruiting class that featured just one four-star player. The rest were two or three star recruits turned down by most other schools. Derek Fine entered college as a 218-pound tight end. Charles Gordon was a diminutive receiver with a modest forty time. Both plaved in the NFL. Mangino and his staff landed Cornish in British Columbia as a linebacker before converting him to running back. He's Kansas' all-time single-season rushing leader. Mark Simmons left as Kansas' career leader in receptions, while Nick Reid switched to quarterback to linebacker and earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors as a senior. That ability to evaluate and develop players is a staple of Mangino's tenure as coach. His first recruiting class serves as a prime example. "He has taken kids that other schools have turned down and they've turned out to be first class students and citizens." Fambrough said. "Plus, they've been good football players. If I had to pick out the number one asset as far as coach Mangino is concerned, it would be his ability to pick out these kids." But it wasn't until Perkins arrived in 2003, a year after Mangino, that facilities drastically started improving. Without up-to-standard facilities in the Big 12 recruiting and winning became that much more difficult. Mangino wasn't hired by Athletics Director Lew Perkins. Sometimes that's easy to forget. --coach, said the lack of facilities made it nearly impossible to compete with the Big 12's elite school. 84 Perkins clearly understood that. So, too, did Mangino. "Lew Perkins came in and said what do you need for football?" Mangino said. "I distinctly remember telling him, 'Well, let me go to the restroom and get a roll of toilet paper because that's how long the list is going to be." For years, Kansas' facilities ranked near the bottom of the Big 12. Fambrough, who served two four-year stints as Kansas' head KANSAN FILE PHOTO Bill Whittemore, former Kansas player, drops back for a pass against Southwest Missouri State. Whittemore hadn't visited the University before signing with Kansas' football program, which had 15 losing seasons between 1980 and 2000. 36 And he said the problem started at the top. "I'm not sure if the athletic directors were the type of people who were interested in having a great football program." Fambrough said. Since Perkins' arrival in 2003, though, Kansas has built a new football-specific facility. New practice fields have been built and a new playing surface was installed before this season. Next year, a bigger scoreboard will replace the current one. Leo Bookman, former defensive back, tackles a Nebraska player. Bookman is originally from Dickinson, Texas. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Former and current coaches and players said facilities are at the heart of any consistently successful program. For the first time in a long time, Fambrough said, Kansas isn't lagging in that area. "I know in talking with some people, they don't like playing us," Perkins said. "Ten years ago, when Kansas popped up on the schedule they said 'that's a win'. Now they have to really get ready and prepare for us. That tells you something." 0 Own a little piece of history. 5 5 "I really liked where coach Mangino was taking the program," Reeing said.

That game against Virginia Tech in Miami sent a message throughout the country — Kansas football can make postseason noise too. "Our play and what we've done the last couple years speaks for itself," Reesing said. "That question a few years ago maybe would stand true. But I like to think that people would consider us a football school, too. I think we've proven that we can compete with anybody, compete for championships, go to bowl games and win them." KU 5 Before Todd Reesing committed to Kansas, he visited a football camp at Duke, one of the few Division I schools showing serious interest in the diminutive quarterback.

Stephen Montemayor NFL needs real sports analysts MORNING BREW Watching opening weekend, I noticed some of the commentators were as star-studded as the players on the field. For instance, former quarterbacks Rich Gannon and Troy Akman are heard commentating regularly, Gannon doing most of the Chiefs games and Akman mostly Cowboys. If you know your history, then you know they are covering their former teams. The broadcaster's booth is now the retirement home for former NFL stars. This brings up three issues. The first issue relates to analyst partiality. Second, are the retired athletes talented enough to take jobs from people whose entire careers depend on this position? And lastly, are lesser known players losing their jobs solely because of their lack of star power? As a professional broadcaster, journalist or anything media related, you are supposed to be as objective and unbiased as possible. When we hear Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan pick the Giants or Terry Bradshaw pick the Steeleers to win the Super Bowl, how can we as fans trust their true knowledge as "experts"? It's frustrating and unfair to the viewer to do little research and root for the same team every year. From the pregame shows on CBS and FOX to "Football Night in America," we watch games sandwiched by these opinions rather than analysis. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com In exchange for the seemingly endless number of players reporting or commentating, there is someone losing a job. My biggest concern is how the multimillion-dollar retiree gets the job when someone who spent his whole life trying to get one of these positions has to settle for less. Thankfully, there are some former NFL players you would never guess had been athletes because they act professionally and don't play favorites (John Madden, Cris Collinsworth). I've seen great like Mike Patrick and Dick Engberg to use their distinctive voices somewhere that isn't football on Sunday. Would the NCAA allow a former college star to take Dick Vitale's spot? No way. Sometimes the voice makes all the difference — but the NFL doesn't think so. These men have a passion for the game and can captivate the viewer in any game. Mike Golic, Mike Greenberg and Steve Young were about as exciting as sawdust while calling the Monday night game. Just because they have the name doesn't mean they have the talent. Out of all the names mentioned and the ones that were not, is there any coincidence in their familiarity? Where are professional football duds trying to make a living as sportscasters? Former Washington Redskins running back Brian Mitchell was fired from his radio gig for being critical of his former team. He was truer to his job than most of the players we see today because he told it like it was. If a guy spends a few unsuccessful years in the league then calls it quits only to excel at broadcasting, we still may never see him because he doesn't have a Super Bowl ring or a bust THE MORNING BREW in Canton. It's unfair to the fans and the players when announcers have their own agendas and don't give proper analysis to the games. It's unfair to dominate pregame and postgame shows with only former stars and to take jobs from those who are potentially more qualified. t No matter where the games are played, the booth should be a neutral site. — Edited by Samantha Foster Follow Kansan writer Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/ c_thibodeaux FOOTBALL The outcome of Kansas' first home football game - a 49-3 victory against Northern Colorado on Sept. 5 - this season was far from in doubt once the fourth quarter began, prompting many fans to exit Memorial Stadium early.

THE WAVE | 30 COMMENTARY PAGE 10A Healthy running is happy running BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com The running and jogging culture in Lawrence is alive and well. But when the sun COMING OUT FROM ANOTHER SPORT'S SHADOWS comes out and the sneakers go on, do you really know what you're geting into? Of course jogging up and down the hills of Lawrence and on campus has its merits. Science suggests that habitual jogging can increase the effectiveness of the blood's ability to transport oxygen to the muscles. This in turn leads to better muscle efficiency, and the jogger ends up with better physical stamina. The Lawrence landscape can provide health benefits. Studies conducted in New York City strongly suggested that those who trained alongside major streets did far more damage to their circulatory system because of pollution than joggers in enclosed spaces or heavily wooded areas. Even though campus does suffer from heavy traffic at certain times, trees and bushes are located near Potter Lake and on Jayhawk Boulevard for fresh air and scenic variability. As many student athletes, club sport members and intramural players may know, poor form or improper running equipment can cause a miserable morning after or even slight-to-moderate injury. Common mistakes include running in the wrong type of shoe department store sneakers, for instance or wearing the incorrect shoe size. Running form can be tricky, not to mention hilarious to watch. Many times I've seen a girl or guy zoom passed me with their arms practically flailing in the air. Improper form creates a sense of imbalance, wastes energy and puts strain on the lower back and upper legs. Minor problems like inflammation of the knee and shin splints can temporarily render any sport or jogging enthusiast chair-ridden. I learned this lesson from when I went walking around the hills surrounding Alvamar Country Club with a friend. I didn't warm up beforehand (a big no-no). I wore three-year-old shoes and I slouched while walking up and down steep hills. Needless to say, I could barely move five hours later. Don't despair. Looking to historical examples, it would appear that mankind was built to run. The deliverers of the quipu message system in the 15th century Inca Empire in South America traversed several miles to reach their destinations. Similar systems of cross-country mail delivery were in use thousands of years earlier in China and parts of Africa. Follow Jordan Williams at twitter. com/salvio hexia. The great appeal of using your own two legs for exercise lies in the fact that it's free, and almost anyone of any weight or fitness level can participate in running's better half with all the health benefits intact: walking. Just for goodness sake, support the economy, and buy a new pair of quality running shoes. — Edited by Lauren Cunningham t Rise from obscurity: Rise from obscur program sees improvement Old recruiting class, new facilities and new coaches rejuvenate school's team BY JAYSON JENKS --- jjenks@kansan.com urity: KU Bill Whittemore speaks in a smooth Southern drawl, his sentences laced with gohs, shoots and hecks. He's a simple man, but his story is one that's complicated and wrapped around the entirety of coach Mark Mangino's tenure. His life is still eventful, still filled with athletics and football when school is in session. Yet his days are less complicated now The long hours of film are gone, summers suddenly less restricted. Fro Nashville, where he's an assistant athletic director at a private high school. Whittemore said he'll talk, that he'll reflect about a time that seems longer and shorter than seven years ago. The 2002 recruiting class arrived in Lawrence a largely unheralded group — and left with their names etched in record books and on professional paychecks. Before there was an undersized quarterback from Texas — before Todd Reesing It's here where Whittemore's story — and Kansas' turnaround begins. It started with Whittemore, the playmaking scrambler and the first player to sign with Mangino. Sometimes in between Whittemore's commitment and the start of the 2002 season, a cast of lightly recruited two and three star prospects did the same. In many ways, it's hard to truly understand how far the program had to rise, how deep Kansas football had sunk in the Big 12's depths. "Man, it's so hard to get rid of that mentality of defeat," Whittemore said. "If you've got it ingrained that you're not as good as the team you're playing, man, in football you have to change at least 22 guys' mentalities. Not just one. Everyone has to be on the same page."

SOCCER Team hopes to improve its game at Jayhawk Invitational 11 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley punches away a shot attempt from a Rhode Island player during the second half of a game earlier this month at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. The Jayhawks will host an invitational this weekend against San Diego and South Dakota State. BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Junior defender Lauren Jackson said the mood in the locker room Friday before their match against Denver was just different. "I think we were just really tired," Jackson said. "We just weren't in it." Jackson said the team needs to focus better in the locker room before each game in the layhawk Invitational and the rest of their games this season. In their first match today, the layhawks, ranked No. 22, take on No. 18 ranked San Diego (5-2-1) and finish the invitational with a match against South Dakota State (2-3-1). The Jayhawks will be looking to rebound from their winless weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo., losing in the last six minutes to Denver and playing to a scoreless draw with Colorado College. Follow Kansan soccer writer Clark Goble at twitter. com/cgoble89. t Coach Mark Francis talked about the number of scoring opportunities that the team barely missed. Jackson said the Toreros play a different defensive style than anything Kansas has seen so far this season. San Diego will be the first ranked team Kansas has faced so far. San Diego is coming off a weekend where they defeated then-No. 12 Rutgers 2-1 and Brown 1-0. "Sometimes those things happen, we just have to regroup," Francis said. "It'll be nice to be at home this weekend and try to win our tournament." Instead of playing four defenders in a line like most college programs, San Diego utilizes a stop Defensively, Jackson said the team wouldn't change anything. The Toreros' leading goal scorer is freshman forward Erica Peeples, who has netted three so far this season. Another freshman, Sierra Ferreira, leads the team in assists with three. Senior goalie Julie Hanley will likely be the one defending those shots. She has started the past two games, replacing freshman Kat Liebetrau, who started for several games to start the season. per and a sweeper in a diamond formation. Jackson said the forwards worked on playing higher and pressuring the defenders in practice this week. Jackson said the change in goal doesn't really affect the defense much.

"For instance, the Vol Walk, running through the T, singing 'Rocky Top' all night long after we beat Florida next year. It will be a blast." SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor Instead of warming up his vocal chords, Lane should be preparing his team to get blasted this weekend. He and his players won't feel like singing 'Rocky Top' or anything else after Florida runs his team out of The Swamp tomorrow. The game could get ugly, and it probably will. I have never seen any reason for pregame trash talk, especially through the media. There is a time for psychological warfare, and that time is not before the game begins. It was a bold move from the new coach. Before he even had time to learn his new school's fight song, he was already promising to grace the mighty Gators with a vocal interlude after beating them in Gainesville, Fla. Now just days away from the big game at, Kiffin has been saying that he really just used these comments to get Tennessee in the news. It worked, but it also got his comments posted all over the Gators' locker room. What Lane Kiffin considered a brilliant ploy is instead another handicap for his team. More attention is not always a good thing. It can bring added pressure and create unrealistic expectations. When a team is cast into the spotlight, everything is magnified, including failures on the field. Even after starting the 2007 season 11-0, the Kansas Jayhawks did not get cocky and start to guarantee victories. Instead, the team did what it had done all season. The players stayed quiet, they did their jobs and they let the attention come to them. The Jayhawks eventually played Missouri on ABC in front of a primetime audience. Kansas didn't ask for attention two seasons ago, but still received the attention it deserved. If Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks had started talking big after a few wins, they would not have been able to fly under the radar like they did for so long during their magical run. Teams everywhere would have taken notice of what the Jayhawks were doing and it would have become much more difficult to succeed. The team would have been under intense pressure and scrutiny and probably would not have won the Orange Bowl. If a player or coach has to talk trash, he should at least realize that it is most acceptable when done Perhaps the finest examples of players who could talk trash and play great while doing so are Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. Both had unique playing styles and verbal skills, but each player excelled in both areas. during a game. Jordan would sometimes have a running conversation with his defender while knocking down jumpers, while Bird preferred to ask which defender wanted to be scored on during the next possession and then give his opponents an update of his scoring total after every made basket. Both players talked an enormous amount of trash during their respective careers, but each player also did so after performing during a game. Lane Kiffin may have gotten his Volunteers in the news last December, but he's going to wish he hadn't after Florida runs up the score tomorrow. I'm confident the Jayhawks will not become overconfident this season. Mark Mangino won't allow it and the players are smart enough to know that nothing good comes out of verbal shots at opposing teams. Kansas has a chance to have a very good season, and it has a chance to do so while other teams are getting most of the attention. Attention isn't always a good thing, and I'm sure the Jayhawks would rather watch their highlights on TV than their press conferences anyway. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin watches his team during a game earlier this season. The Volunteers travel to Florida weekly to play the 1. Gators. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 4 FEATURE NON-CONFERENCE NECESSITIES From rehabbing old wounds to getting used to new ones, developing a rhythm is a must before Big 12 play. By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@kansan.com Kansas' four non-conference opponents went a combined 17-31 (.354) in 2008. Northern Colorado, this season's opening opponent, is a Championship Subdivision school (formerly regarded as l-AA) and finished 1-10. Yet for all the grief a school can catch about the credentials of its non-conference opponents, teams often deal with a dueling foe at the onset of a season: themselves. "Those first few games you really learn the speed of the game again," senior safety Darrell Stuckey says. "You really figure out how fast or how slow you have to move to be in the right position, what you need to see and how fast you need to react." DALLO 24 Weston White/KANSAN Freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald says his first few KU games haven't been as taxing as his high school games, when he played every down of every quarter. McDougald will see playing time at Kansas when he finds himself among second-team wide receivers. With two more non-conference games to play, each player can get a number of things out of the early weeks of the year. Veterans like Stuckey and senior quarterback Todd Reesing are eager to get back up to speed. Freshmen are getting acclimated to playing at the college level. And there are players rehabbing old injuries sustained a year before. It's tough to say what the outcome of last year's victory against Missouri would have been without any of those three turnovers Stuckey forced, though there's little doubt they were the product of experience. The annual postgame nicks and bruises? Not something that grows easier through time. Taking a hit not easier in time "They don't really change. Your body just becomes immune to them." Stuckey says with a laugh. "And you just find ways to flush them out earlier or your body gets rid of them before the next Saturday." Adds Reesing: "Well, I guess you get used to them. Sometimes they get better, sometimes they get worse as the year goes along." Barely a few seconds later, Reesing is compelled to amend his assessment. "Actually, I don't think they usually get better. Usually you get more banged up, but that's part of the game." Reeing says. "You feel sore Sunday and Monday, and then by the time you get going the rest of the week you start to feel better and things start to slow down a bit." "Those first game jitters" Stuckey says the first few weeks of the season are for relearning "the speed of the game" and knowing when to use that speed — and when to hold back — in game situations. He calls it "those first game jitters" something players both learned and inexperienced can attest to. "You're getting to play so that's the biggest thing," Reesing says. "A lot of good things come out of non-conference — a lot of learning that you can't really teach on the practice field." That first opportunity led to a 49-3 victory against Northern Colorado, the second a 34-7 road victory against UTEP. But defensive coordinator Clint Bowen says he expects to see weekly improvement during non-conference play as players grow more comfortable under the lights. "I think going from game one to game two is a big difference, because for the new kids that haven't played a lot some of those nerves disappear," Bowen says. "So I expect between game one and game two to be a pretty good improvement." So what are the symptoms of said nerves, or jitters? "You're a little bit more cautious maybe, a little bit more hesitant on making a read and going as fast as you usually would have if you were a more comfortable guy," Bowen says. "I think it's just kind of confidence going out and knowing that I've done this before and I can do it again. It's not a problem." A level head prevails in most scenarios. In vehicle collisions, the more tense a driver, the more apt they are to serious injury. On the football field, one may assume the same although Bowen has observed differently during his eight years at Kansas. "Just maybe more embarrassment than injury," Bowen says. Just getting started For some, the process of getting used to game situations will extend past non-conference play. Whether it's a freshman seeing his playing time slowly ascend or a player rebounding from injury, getting into a rhythm can be a weekly process. Last year junior linebacker Justin Springer appeared to be in a good position to supplant a graduating trio of linebackers. But two weeks after recording eight tackles against Oklahoma, Springer suffered an excruciating setback when he tore his ACL against Kansas State. "I thought I broke my knee or something like that," Springer says. "I thought my knee was on the other side of my leg. I didn't know what the hell happened. I just heard a big ass pop and it hurt real bad." "I'm not 100 percent." Springer says. "I tore my ACL in November and it takes at least a year of recovery after surgery, and I had my surgery in December so it's going to take a couple more months. I should be pretty good by December." Now Springer again finds himself among the few linebackers expected to fill the shoes of Mike Rivera, James Holt and Joe Mortensen — only his road to recovery is an ongoing process. Despite a lengthier layoff than most of his teammates, Springer says he felt pretty good the next day aside from a sore neck. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 5 "I've always been in pretty good football shape." Springer says. He adds that he looks forward to the latter half of the season when he can be 100 percent, meaning, for him, that he can finally execute plays at full speed and change direction effectively. Freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald didn't feel that bad after his first collegiate game. That said, his 25 snaps against Northern Colorado weren't as taxing as playing each down of every quarter as he did in high school at Scioto High School in Dublin, Ohio. "I was a little dinged up. I'd probably say it was worse in high school because just the toll on your body after a game is different," McDougald says. "When you play each play in every four quarters your body's going to take a little longer to recover." McDougald should expect to see his snaps increase as the four-star recruit lined up to return the opening kickoff of the season and finds himself among the second-team wide receivers. When those postgame bruises multiply, McDougald says he knows he can count on being in good hands with the coaching and strength and conditioning staff. Typically players will report the day after a game for light lifting, reconditioning and stretching while also rehabilitating any necessary injuries sustained the night before. Film, more film and a little more film after that are what McDougald says precedes a walkthrough of mistakes that need correcting and light conditioning before heading home for the day. After his first game, McDougald critiqued himself, saying that he needs to work on holding onto his blocks to extend running plays. He says that he also has picked up on the speed and physicality of playing at the college level, all aspects he'll need to be acquainted with before the first four games are through. "I'm just making sure I'm ready to help my team when the actual Big 12 Conference does start," McDougald says. "Because when it starts it's serious from there." 25 STUCKEY 25 UEP Weston White/KANSAN Senior quarterback Todd Reesing, above, and senior safety Darrell Stuckey, right, use nonconference games to get back into the groove of regular football games. Stuckey calls the feeling of relearning the game "the first game jitters."

The win moved the Jayhawks to 2-0 on the season and will be the team's last road game before a trip to Colorado on Oct.17. The Kansas offense started slowly and the Jayhawks led 3-0 after the first quarter. Senior running back Jake Sharp helped get things going in the second quarter. Sharp caught a pass for a touchdown and ran for another as a 17-point quarter gave the Jayhawks a 20-0 lead going into the half. Kansas' defense held the Miners scoreless until the fourth quarter, when Donavon Kemp caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trevor Vittatoe. The Jayhawks held UTEP to 208 total yards for the game and forced one interception and one fumble. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing passed for 260 yards and finished with one touchdown and one interception. Freshman running back Toben Opurum was also productive during his time on the field, rushing for 67 yards on 16 carries and scoring a touchdown. Junior receiver Dezmon Briscoe made a successful return to the Jayhawks' lineup after serving a onegame suspension to start the season. Briscoe picked up 154 yards on eight catches, which included a 56-yard reception.

OREGON 0 O The Utes are riding the nation's longest winning streak while Oregon is trying to recover after losing its starting running back to a suspension. This game should be a shootout, and Utah should win it. Cal CALIFORNIA VS. MINESOTA M The Golden Bears should simply be too much for Minnesota to handle. Jahvid Best is averaging 10 yards per carry and the Golden Gophers' defense probably won't have an answer. M FLORIDA STATE VS. BYU BIRDHA TRIMS This could be a tricky game for the Cougars. It is at home, but they have already played their biggest game of the regular season against Oklahoma. BYU will have to keep its focus against a tough Florida State team that is hungry for an upset. ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI VS. OREGON STATE Bearw Cinicnnti blasted Southeast Missouri State 70-3 last weekend at home. This road game will be a lot tougher. Jacquizz Rodgers and the Beavers' offense will present a stiff challenge to the Bearcats. 8 Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, center, looks for a receiver as he is pressured by the Troy defense during the first half of the Gators' 66-16 win. The Tebors and the Gators are preparing for a showdown with SCE rival Tennessee tomorrow. T TENNESSEE VS. FLORIDA Volunteers try to pull off upset of top-ranked Gators It will be interesting to see how Urban Meyer handles the situation surrounding Lane Kiffn's guarantee to beat Florida. Safety Eric Berry leads a stout Tennessee defense that could pose some problems to the potent Florida offense, but Tebow and the Gators will eventually explode to put the game out of reach. Tebow accounted for five touchdowns in last week's demolition of Troy and the Gators scored 49 points in the first half. Don't expect Meyer and the Florida coaching staff to play the reserves early in this game. Count on a big win from the nation's best team. AP TOP 25 Team (First-place votes) Record Total Votes Prev.

By Zach Getz zgetz@kansan.com With her small frame and sweet smile you wouldn't believe that Aimee Miyazawa could have a stern side. But when working with athletes, the athletic trainer for the Kansas volleyball team has developed a no-nonsense approach to her work. "She doesn't tolerate any whining," says senior middle blocker Brittany Williams. While you may not see her among emergency care, injury prevention and rehab," Miyazawa says. Miyazawa also preps players before practice and overlooks the practices. Even though she may work an 11- or 12-hour day, she says she doesn't go home until every player gets what she needs. "If we need treatment after practice she's always there," says junior outside hitter Karina Garlington. "She'll wait here until 8 o'clock at night to help us out." Miyazawa, who is now in her fifth "She's like the team mom. She takes care of everything that we could possibly ask of her." Karina Garlington, Kansas outside hitter all the 6-foot-2 volleyball players, Miyazawa is always stalking on the sidelines and plays an important role behind the scenes of the team. "I'm responsible for all the medical care for the athletes including Photos by Jerry Wang/KANSAN Karina Garlington, above left, and Brittany Williams, left, both say Miyazawa is more to the team than a trainer; she's a friend as well. Miyazawa helped rehabilitate Williams after she tore her ACL. season as volleyball trainer for Kansas, got her start after being indecisive about her future during her senior year in high school. She started assisting her high school trainer in Lakeview, Colo., and her career took off from there. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 After getting her masters in physical education at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, Miyazawa went on to take a fellowship with the United States Olympic Committee in Colorado THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 15 Springs, Colo. Whenever she has a chance, she still works with athletes around the country in such sports as sprint kayaking, BMX and archery. Even though she doesn't like to see it happen, Miyazawa really earns her keep when a player gets seriously injured, such as when players tore their ACLs in the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Miyazawa says when a serious injury like that occurs, she has to work extra hard for the player to get them back on their feet. "I pretty much see them every day after they get injured," Mizawaza said. Williams had to experience that care after she tore her ACL in the 2007 season. Through that hardship, Williams found a new friend in Miyazawa. "Aimee is one of my closest friends because we spent so much time with each other," Williams says. "There was a level of trust and love that was built back and forth just by her bedside manner." Williams says that Miyazawa gave her exceptional care both physically and mentally. But even though there was the love, Williams says Miyazawa was stern and would not baby Williams during her rehab. "It wasn't like'Aww, let me get this for you,' it was more like 'Brittany, stand up, heel toe, and get across there and get it," Williams says. Williams says she knows Miyazawa meant the best and that if she wasn't so stern, the team wouldn't stay as healthy. It's that kind of care that makes Miyazawa much more than a trainer. Other players who haven't had as serious of an injury as Williams also rave about Miyazawa. Garlington says Miyazawa is always there for players when they need to talk, no matter what the subject. "She's like the team mom," Garlington says. "She takes care of everything we could possibly ask of her." Garlington says Miyazawa will always drop everything she is doing to help a player. She and Williams both agree that Miyazawa is much more than just a trainer: She is part of the team. "She has so much fire," Williams says. "She gets so into the game. It's like she's actually out there playing with us. She has that much enthusiasm and that's why we love her." Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Miyazawa provides care for players who need to be rehabilitated after injuries. She pushes to players to help themselves get better. KANSAS KANSAS KANS adidas KU THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 16 GAME DAY AT A GLANCE Kansas is fresh off an impressive early season victory at UTEP. Against the Miners, the Jayhawks turned in their best defensive performance while still managing to post offensive offensive numbers. The defensive line sparkled and that must continue to happen against Duke tomorrow. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule Onyegbule turned in his best performance of his career last week: He recorded six tackles, including three tackles for a loss and two sacks. Now he must A. L. Onyegbule prove he can turn in such numbers on a consistent basis. That's the key for any top-level lineman in the Big 12. QUESTION MARKS Will Jake Sharp rush for 100 yards? With defenses limiting Kansas passing attack, Sharp has served as the greatest beneficiary. He's rushed for at least 100 yards in each of the first two games. Will Duke continue the trend of taking away the pass? Will Johnathan Wilson have a breakout game? This season Wilson has made six catches for 74 yards. While Kansas hasn't thrown the ball as much this year as in the past, Wilson still hasn't turned in a noteworthy performance. He could be due against Duke. BY THE NUMBERS 154 Receiving yards by junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe after one game 130 Receiving yards by Kansas' second leading receiver, senior Kerry Meier, after two games 583 Kansas'rushing yards after two games 254 Kansas' rushing yards after two games last season 47 Number of victories by coach Mark Mangino, tied for the second most in school history Kansas (2-0) OFFENSE Sure, Kansas' offensive piled up 576 yards last Saturday. But the Jayhawks also failed to capitalize on multiple scoring chances. Junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe showed a hint of rust but still played extremely well in his season debut. He PETER HAYES caught eight passes for 154 yards — a number that makes him Kansas' leading receiver despite playing in just one game. Briscoe DEFENSE The Jayhawks completely locked down the Miners' big-number offense and the biggest reason for that was a consistent pass rush. Kansas' defensive line was relentless in sacking UTEP's quarterback six times. Senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule earned co-Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance. PETER PARKER Onyeqbule KANSAS KANSAS SPECIAL TEAMS Junior kicker Jacob Branstetter missed two short Junior kicker Jacob Brannfield goals against UTEP. After the game, though, coach Mark Mangino said Branstetter was woozy because of a late hit. If Branstetter is healthy this week — and he is expected to be — he must perform better from close range. Branstetter COACHING Really, it's hard to argue with two lopsided Really, it's hard to argue with the victories. Mangino and his staff reshuffled the starting secondary against UTEP and the unit surrendered just 200 yards passing. Defensive line coach Tom Sims, whose unit recorded six sacks last week, has been a welcomed addition so far this season. DADY LARRISON Mangino MOMENTUM The season is still early, but the Jayhawks appear to be rolling at this point. The offense has been plenty productive and the defense, a question mark entering the season, has performed to a similarly high standard during the first two games. At this point, it's hard to go against Kansas. Jayson Jenks JAYHAWKS STARTING LINEUP Offense Pos. Name Number Year QB Todd Reesing 5 Sr. RB Toben Opurum 35 Fr.

Running back Re'quan Boyette and quarterback Thaddeus Lewis are the only two seniors for the offense this year, putting a lot of pressure to lead and perform well from the very beginning of the season. Duke coach David Cutcliffe says the offense is struggling on third down conversions and general consistency from the experienced players like Boyette DEFENSE Duke was solid in the secondary against Army. Lewis who came out of the game against Army after failing to produce points. Cornerback Leon Wright returned two interceptions for touchdowns. The defensive backs kept good track of Army's receivers and that was partially responsible for Army only completing 10 of 24 pass attempts.

SPECIAL TEAMS Duke's special teams are seriously lacking in Snyderwine 10 Duke's special teams are comparison to Kansas. In their first game of the season against Richmond, the Blue Devils had a blocked punt and two missed field goals. Last week against Army kicker Will Snyderwine, a walk-on, missed a 28-yard attempt in the first quarter, but the Blue Devils stuck with him for all David Cutcliffe starts his third season at the helm for the Blue Devils. He has yet to produce a winning season for Duke but says he thinks they are still bowl-bound this season according to the News Observer. Cutcliffe has a wealth of experience under his belt, but he's working with a young team and a program that has been less than successful in the last decade. COACHING Dennis G.

Right now the Blue Devils stand 1-1 with their one victory being on the road. They will have to get rid of the errors and be solid on their fundamentals if they expect a to have a chance against Kansas.

Renfree is expected to play against Kansas with senior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis. Renfree PETER SCHNEIDER QUESTION MARKS Will the special team be able to produce for Duke this week? After some shaky performances from kickers and punters the last two weeks. Cutcliffe is reevaluating his strategy and player selections to try to provide more consistency for the Blue Devils. Can the Blue Devils end with a winning season? Right now it's hard to tell based on Duke's performance because they have had a relatively easy schedule but their ACC conference foes have made some strong performances in the last two weeks that will put Duke to the test later this season.

In fact, it was almost a nightmare. But, with a fourth quarter rally, the Tigers came from behind to defeat Bowling Green 27-20. "I wouldn't want to make a living doing that every Saturday,"coach Gary Pinkel said. But in the next breath, he gave his opponents their due. ("Bowling Green) battled, and we were fortunate enough to find a way to win," Pinkel said. Sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert struggled in the first half, as the offense repeatedly stalled. But in the second half, he and the offense made adjustments. ("Bowling Green) was just doing some different stuff defensively, taking away some vertical shots, and we didn't execute," Gabbert said. "And that's on me." By their first possession of the second half, the Tigers found themselves in a 20-6 hole. Then they began their comeback. On third-and-10,junior running back Derrick Washington ran for 18 yards to give Missouri a first down. The following play, Gabbert connected with senior wide receiver Jared Perry for Missouri's first touchdown. The 27-yard pass cut Bowling Green's lead to 20-13. "If you had seen me, I kind of juggled (the ball) because it went right through (the defender's) hands," Perry said. "We had a rocky start, so I just thought, 'Somebody's got to make a play, somebody's got to step up.' It ended up being me making the first play, and after that, the train just kept rolling." The train actually went into second gear. In the fourth quarter, starting at their own 28-yard line, the Tigers marched down the field. Facing a fourth-and-one situation, Missouri handed off to Washington, who gained six yards to give his team a critical first down. "I think the coaches are trusting me more, and trusting our run game more," Washington said. "We had the opportunity to show we can run the ball tonight, and that's what we did." His six-yard rush put the Tigers on Bowling Green's 33-yard line. The next play, Gabbert threw a bomb into the end zone, where sophomore wide receiver Wes Kemp laid out to haul in the pass. Just like that, the score was tied 20-20. "We faked the run, and then the corner bit down and I just ran by him to catch a great ball by Blaine." Kemp said. But the comeback was not yet complete. The Falcons had the ball in their own territory on third-and-four. But redshirt freshman defensive lineman Aldon Smith chased down Bowling Green senior quarterback Tyler Sheehan and sacked him for an 18-yard loss. It was all the momentum the Tigers needed. On the ensuing drive, Washington was again the star. He busted off runs of 10 and eight yards, but it was his shortest run that was most effective. On first and goal, after senior receiver Danario Alexander's 22-yard catch, Washington forced his way into the Falcon's end zone to put the Tigers on top for the first time all night. And they stayed there. "It was a gutsy win," Gabbert said. "It really checked what we're made of. And in the end, it's going to make our team better in the long run." Defense picks up in second half By Sean Leahy The Maneater In Missouri's 27-20 comeback victory over Bowling Green, the Tiger defense clamped down to allow no points for the majority of the second half. COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Tiger defense knew its counterparts on offense would find their way. All it had to do was wait for sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert and Co. to get there. "That's how it goes sometimes," junior cornerback Carl Gettis said. "When the offense struggles, we know as a defense we need to pick them up. We knew sooner or later in the second half, our offense was going to come along and make some big plays." When Falcons junior running back Willie Geter charged into the end zone from one-yard out with 9:44 left in the third quarter, Missouri found itself in a 20-6 hole. With the Tiger offense sputtering, coach Gary Pinkel knew it was time for his team to make a stand. "When it was 20-6 about five minutes into the third quarter, it was a big gut check time for our football team," Pinkel said. The Tigers answered that call and stopped the bleeding to open a door for a Missouri comeback in the third and fourth quarters. While Gabbert was busy engineering a charge to take the lead, the Tigers kept Bowling Green off the field and off the scoreboard. "It just shows the fight this team has," senior nose tackle Jaron Baston said. After the Geter touchdown, Missouri forced Bowling Green into four straight punts and a failed fourth down pass attempt that sealed the victory. With Bowling Green at its own 40-yard line and facing a third-and-seven, Falcon senior Tyler Sheehan dropped back to pass With no open option to which to throw, Sheehan was flushed out of the pocket by a charging Smith and was sacked for a loss of 18 yards. The Faurot Field crowd erupted, and Bowling Green, facing a fourth-and-25, was forced to punt. "That pretty much gave us all the momentum at that point," Gettis said. "After that we were rolling." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 20 BIG 12 COURT OF THE JUDGE IOWA STATE CYCLONES Cyclones can't dwell on losses By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — While Iowa State was ecstatic after snapping a 10-game losing streak before last week's game, the Iowa State coaching staff wanted to do everything in its power to turn losses into victories. The losing hangover can't last long in college football and the young Cyclones will need to learn this, looking at a rubber match for the last two years against the Kent State Golden Flashes. "I don't think this team will dwell on this loss," said quarterback and team captain Austen Arnaud. "It happened early to us. We definitely got put in our place and we've got to be able to make quick decisions on the run and focus at all times." Arnaud played what he and most fans called the worst game of his career, and the statistics proved his statement. While the loss won't be easy to get over for ticket holders, the fact remains that the Cyclones are 1-1, and have ten games left on the schedule. Kent State is ready on Saturday for the Cyclones, sitting at 1-1 after an 18-0 victory against Coastal Carolina, and a 34-7 loss to ACC-foe Boston College. The Golden Flashes didn't score on Boston College until there was 2:15 left in the game, and the offense only accumulated 179 yards. The Cyclones won't be taking that lack of productivity for lack of talent, even though 5-foot-5 Eugene Jarvis is out for the season at running back for Kent State. Jarvis had totaled 252 rushing yards against Iowa State the past two seasons, but was pronounced out for the season with a kidney injury after the loss at Boston College last week. The focus stays on execution, and worrying about what the Cyclones can do to control the game, not about the opponents' impact on Iowa State's learning process. IOWA STATE "If we maintain our focus on preparation, eliminating mistakes and executing well, eventually this road-losing streak will come to an end and we'll take care of it that way," Rhoads said.

K-State goes up against UCLA this Saturday in California. MANHATTAN — K-State's offense continues to try to establish an identity without the services of Josh Freeman. Carson Coffman might be one of the nicest college athletes out there, but I'm not sure Wildcat Nation will tolerate much more of the lifeless offensive attack it saw in the season's first two weeks. Bill Snyder seems pretty confident that Coffman has what it takes to be a Big 12 quarterback, but things aren't going to get any easier for the Peculiar, Mo., native as the season progresses. K-State hasn't been shut out since Nov. 16, 1996, when the Wildcats were blanked 12-0 against Colorado. The Buffaloes' head coach at the time: Current UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel. Coffman and Co. will have to bring their A-game to make sure "Slick Rick" doesn't hand the Wildcats another goose egg this weekend in Pasadena, Calif. As if the stats aren't enough proof that the defense has indeed improved, the fundamentals have been the icing on the cake. I saw more form tackles last week against Louisiana-Lafayette than I did all last season. On a lighter note, Daniel Thomas has been as good as advertised (if not better) so far, but will he be able to continue this pace against Big 12 teams every week? An existent passing game would sure help matters. Speaking of K-State's defense, every member of the front four should be licking his chops. The Wildcats are about to face an inexperienced and injury-plagued offensive line that will be protecting a backup quarterback. A quick breakdown of UCLA's options at signal caller: A true freshman who has two pass attempts in his collegiate career, or a redshirt senior who threw 20 interceptions and just seven touchdowns a year ago. I won't say this too often, but it would probably be ill-advised for Neuheisel to go with experience over youth under center. After all, that experience led them to a 4-8 record last season. - Regardless of who gets the nod to lead the offense, expect him to be running for his life all night. Jeffrey Fitzgerald might want to bring a tent and a sleeping bag to the game. He'll probably be camped out in the backfield quite a bit. Even with the way things have looked thus far, Snyder and the Wildcats really seem to have a chance to return to Manhattan as Rose Bowl champions this weekend. (Well, figuratively speaking anyway.) Even if K-State can't pull off a victory this weekend, things could be a lot worse for the Wildcats. Think about it. They could be playing for Dan Hawkins at Colorado. If you would have told me a month ago that K-State would lose to Louisiana-Lafayette then knock off UCLA a week later, I'd probably have told you to lay off the sauce. Now, I'm not so sure it's out of the question. In other news, Darren Sproles made good on his franchise tag with the San Diego Chargers Monday night, torching the Oakland Raiders for 246 all-purpose yards and a go-ahead touchdown with 18 seconds left in the game. Remember when the nation thought Sproles was too small to make it in the NFL? THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 22 BIG 12 NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Cornhusker receivers earning respect By Spencer Schubert The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — It is something several receivers on the Nebraska football team feel they have been lacking from their opponents. After two games, 14 different players pulling in at least one reception against Arkansas State and quarterback Zac Lee playing above coach expectations in terms of accuracy, the Nebraska wideouts think they finally have it. It, of course, is respect. "Since I've been here, there's always been a question mark at receiver," Nebraska wide receiver Menelik Holt said. "For a while, we haven't had a good name just attached to our receiving group. I think teams are going to have to respect us now to know that we can catch the ball and win." Holt said part of that respect was also due to the guy throwing him and the other receivers the ball. Lee has thrown all over the competition in Nebraska's 2-0 start to the season, averaging just under 300 yards passing throughout those two games. Lee connected with six different wide receivers, five different tight ends, two running backs and a fullback in Nebraska's 38-9 win over Arkansas State. Receiver Niles Paul said he couldn't be happier about the way the ball was distributed. "It forces defenses to play us true," Paul said. "They can't focus on one receiver. They will know we have four different guys that can get them with the deep ball, and that in itself will make them play us true." Paul led all receivers on Saturday, pulling in six balls for 69 yards and a touchdown to go along with a rushing touchdown. This was a welcome sight among Paul's teammates after the receiver barely saw a ball come his way against Florida Atlantic. Paul caught two balls for 13 yards and never really had a chance to break out against the Owls' defense. Although frustrated, Paul never showed it throughout the next week of practice, his teammates said. "Niles didn't complain," Holt said. "Last week, we knew Niles would be one of those guys who made big plays, and he just wasn't able to get the ball thrown to him. It didn't faze him; he still was positive.I knew we wanted to see a guy who worked that hard all camp to get into the end zone." Holt was the one who made a key block on Paul's 30-yard touchdown run on a reverse play. After Lee made the reverse flip to Paul, Holt's responsibility was to crack down on an ASU player expected to be in good position. After the block, Paul was able to sprint down the sidelines and find his way to the end zone. That play, among others, had teammate and fellow wide receiver Curenski Gilleylen excited to see Paul getting his touches. "He definitely got some looks," Gilleylen said. "I think it definitely brings a spark to the whole offense. No matter where we are on the field, we think we can go up and make the big catch." The diversity in receiving options has Lee in what some see as a good situation as the team gets ready to take on No.14 Virginia Tech tomorrow. Nebraska's Niles Paul catches a pass from quarterback Zac Lee against Arkansas State's Cordarriese Mingo in the first half the Cornhuskers' 38-9 win. Nebraska travels to Blacksburg, Va., this weekend to face the Virginia Tech Hokies. 27 ASSOCIATED PRESS Nebraska can now focus on Virginia Tech game By Michael Shaefer The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — Did anyone else see that elephant — er, Hokie — walk into the stadium on Saturday? Nebraska jumped out to a 24-6 lead over Arkansas State at halftime. Quarterback Zac Lee was nothing short of brilliant, and the Huskers were playing a little better defense than the week before. No one watching the first half would accuse Nebraska of looking ahead to next week's date with Virginia Tech, and defensive coordinator Carl Pelini was blown away by the play of the team. "I thought we took the field with a better attitude than any point since we've been here," Pelini said. "I thought we took the field with a killer instinct." Coach Bo Pelini called his team's play sloppy, but that's to be expected. It's hard to play good defense when your mind is in Blacksburg, Va. After halftime, though, it seemed like the Huskers' focus was elsewhere. The defense gave up just three points in the second half, but it was far from on point. Communication problems and a lack of containment allowed for several big plays from the Red Wolves. Arkansas State's running game found holes outside the box, and its passing game even picked up with a 43-yard post play. On offense, Nebraska scored on its first possession of the half but sputtered after that Safety Rickey Thenarse said there might have been a drop in focus later in the game because the end result wasn't in question. "It is kind of hard to stay focused when you know you are beating a team." Thenarse said. Though coaches will say their team is focusing on one game at a time, that doesn't mean players weren't thinking about Virginia Tech during Nebraska's 38-9 victory. "Everyone has it in the back of their minds," Thenarse said. "We all know that game is going to come." Thenarse admitted he's been thinking about the Hokies for a while, and why wouldn't he be? It won't be prime-time again, but Nebraska will have a national audience and an opportunity to provide some answers for its 2009 season. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- 福 COLORADO BUFFALOES LORADO ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins looks down on the sidelines during the second half of its game against Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. Last weekend. Hawks had hinted at the possibility of a 10-win season. Right now, the math is not looking too good. The Buffaloes are off to an 0-2 start. Colorado's problems go from bad to worse Staff report Campus Press BOULDER, Colo. — Could things get any worse for the Colorado football team to start the season? It was hard to think they could after the Buffs lost to their in-state rival on Sunday. But Friday night on the road, they dropped their second game in a week, this time to the Toledo Rockets, 54-38. For a second straight game, Colorado came out flat and looked like a deer in the headlights as Toledo jumped out to an early 13-0 lead after the first quarter. Colorado would finally get on the board with an Aric Goodman field goal to start the second quarter, but after Alex Steigerwald hit a career-long 50-yard field goal, Toledo would find the end zone again to take a 23-3 lead at halftime. The Rockets would score two touchdowns early in the third, but the Buffs would score three of their own in the quarter to cut the lead to 13 heading into the final 15 minutes of play. Unfortunately, Dan Hawkins'seat as head coach got a little bit hotter as Toledo would score three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Toledo finished with 624 total yards, while Colorado only managed 451 yards. A bright spot for the Buffs was that Darrell Scott had a great first half running the ball, but didn't see a lot of action in the second as the Colorado coaching staff decided to throw the ball more instead. Scott finished with 12 carries for 85 yards. A scary moment happened with 1:53 to go in the game as quarterback Cody Hawkins ran 12 yards into the end zone. But as he went across the goal line, he had a helmet-to-helmet collision with a Toledo player. Replays showed that he had suffered a concussion and it is unknown at this time if he will start the Buffs' next game on Sept. 19 vs. Wyoming. Hawkins went 30-for-64 passing for 356 yards and four touchdowns, while adding three interceptions in the loss. If Hawkins can't go on against Wyoming newly redshirted quarterback Tyler Hansen might have his redshirt pulled to fill in as quarterback.

After a week spent dismissing the effects of the 7,200-foot altitude at Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium on his players, the Texas football head coach admitted they were more fatigued than expected in the early stages of Saturday's 41-10 win. It showed on the field as the Longhorns struggled to build on an early 3-0 lead, sputtering to only 13 first-half points before finding their breath and legs in the second half. "I did not think the altitude would bother us ... but I thought it did," Brown said. "I asked the kids yesterday, they were 100 percent [sure] that it was much tougher to play up there because you have trouble catching your breath." While Texas has plenty of experience playing a mile above sea level, with last year's trips to Colorado and El Paso both providing experience, Wyoming boasts the highest stadium in the nation, more than 1,500 feet above second-place Boulder, Colo., where Texas beat the Buffaloes 38-14 last season. The thin air took its toll on quarterback Colt McCoy, who found himself missing throws to open receivers for much of the first 30 minutes. "The ball sailed on me a little bit where I was confused, like, I make that throw every time," he said. "One time I threw the ball on a short out route to Dan [Buckner] and I completely overthrew it over his head. I looked down and my feet were right, [and] I was like, 'weird'" Monday brought little news on the injury and ineligibility front for Texas, with linebacker Jared Norton still ruled out for Saturday's game with an injury sustained in the season opener. Christian Scott, Deon Beasley and Brandon Collins, meanwhile, are still ineligible with unresolved NCAA academic issues. There has been no word on when the matter will be settled. As far as good news goes, guard Michael Huey, who was also hurt against the University of Louisiana at Monroe, returned to the depth chart and is expected to play. Running backs Vondrell McGee and Foswitt Whittaker are also expected to be healthy for the game after nursing injuries.

It was when Texas freshman safety Blake Gideon dramatically dropped what would have been a game-ending, season-altering interception the play before. Of course, Lubbock exploded seconds later as Crabtree waltzed into the end zone, capping a 39-33 upset against then-No. 1 Texas. "I didn't think he'd catch it for one," Tech coach Mike Leach said of Gideon's mishap. "For another, it's always interesting that they highlight that because I can probably rattle off 10 other things that would have allowed us to win by more. So I don't see that as particularly significant." Maybe the play wasn't, but the victory was. And it's worth revisiting, considering the Red Raiders will try for another upset against No. 2 Texas at 7 p.m. Saturday at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. A few reasons why: Being on prime-time television, it was the most-watched football game of last season; the Red Raiders jumped to No.2 in the nation with school publicity at an all-time high; and former quarterback Graham Harrell was the leading Heisman Trophy candidate. Although Tech didn't finish its season how it wanted to — losing two of three down the stretch - the effect continued once the season ended. The Longhorns might be a little more excited, though. Avenging last season's heartbreaker, which kept the Longhorns from reaching the national championship game, would seem like a key motivating factor. But during a conference call Monday, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and coach Mack Brown talked about leaving it in the past and focusing on a different season. "We've discussed it with this year's team this week and said that last year we lost a lot, but this is a different team," Brown said. "This is a different year."

Washington, left, wraps up Idaho State quarterback Kyle Blum, center, for a sack as teammate Carter Whitson, right, moves in to assist in the fourth quarter of the Sooners' 64-0 win last Saturday. Oklahoma is preparing to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane tomorrow at home. Defense builds on solid performance By James Roth The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — The Oklahoma football team's defense in week one looked like it had some flaws. However, after Saturday's victory over Idaho State, the defense has something solid to build on. The Sooners' defense shut out the Bengals and was able to provide some scoring as well with a fumble recovery for a touchdown. The defense was as relentless as the rain was; the Sooners did not slow down all game and held the Bengals to a total of 44 yards of offense. Even more impressive is that the Sooners did not allow the Bengals to gain positive running yardage for the entire game. The Sooners defense was so strong, behind the solid play of linebackers Ryan Reynolds and Travis Lewis, that it did not allow the Bengals to get a first down until the second quarter. The Bengals rushed for negative 22 yards on the night. "We went out there with a chip on our shoulder tonight," said Lewis after the game Saturday. "We really played like we had a lot to prove." The Sooners needed a strong performance to get rid of the bad taste left in their mouths by BYU a week earlier. After Saturday's game the Sooners looked like they were able to correct mistakes they made the previous week and build some momentum for the defense for upcoming weeks. "We were definitely more consistent tonight, we played hard and most importantly smarter," said defensive tackle Gerald McCoy after Saturday's victory. Next week the Sooners will face off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and will try to continue their strong defensive play. "They're an excellent football team," said head coach Bob Stoops about the Golden Hurricane. "They have been winning 11, 12 games a year, so we're aware of them." The Sooners are 15-7-1 all time against the Golden Hurricane and have not lost to Tulsa since 1996. If the Sooners' defense is able to play the way it did against Idaho State, it should be able to improve on that record and continue to build momentum and confidence for the rest of the season. Sooners try to avoid loss to Tulsa By Jono Greco The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — Non-conference games have provided many trap games and losses for the No.12 Sooners in both the regular season and bowl games the past few years. This weekend's game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, who hail from Conference USA, provides another test to avoid adding to the legitimacy of non-Bowl Championship Series conferences and the argument of overrating the Big 12. The Big 12 has been dealt two blows so far this season by Conference USA and the Mountain West Conference. The first came in week one when Brigham Young University beat OU 14-13, and the second last weekend when the No.21 Houston Cougars defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday 45-35. The victory gave Conference USA some national respect, and now Tulsa has been handed the job of adding to that respect by possibly defeating Oklahoma. But that is a daunting task for the Golden Hurricane, even though it is putting out one of its best teams in recent years. The Sooners hold a 15-7-1 series lead, and have won the last four meetings. Tulsa has come out of the gate strong with its two road wins over Tulane and New Mexico, and is looking to stay undefeated against an Oklahoma squad that still has a lot of question marks. The conference as a whole is 12-12 so far this season, but Tulsa is a perfect candidate for giving validity to the conference, and propelling itself into the top 25. The head-to-head record could be used as a motivating factor for both Tulsa and its conference. Tulsa, Houston, Southern Mississippi and Southern Methodist are the only undefeated teams left in the conference, but it is unlikely all four will end the season with a zero in the loss column. Houston has the easiest schedule of the remaining undefeated teams, with its toughest game remaining coming against Tulsa. Including the Sooners, the Golden Hurricane has three ranked teams on its schedule. The other two teams are Houston and No.10 Boise State,with both games at home. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 27 OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS A little luck helps Cougars pull off upset By Jeff Latzke Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — Quarterback Case Keenum was listening in on a conversation in the Houston locker room before the game when someone suggested that the Cougars had worked hard enough that they didn't need any luck to upset No. 5 Oklahoma State. Keenum had to interject. He turned to running back Bryce Beall to say, "I wouldn't mind some luck." "It's football. If you keep playing, plays like that are going to happen," Beall said. "Everything's not going to come out perfect." Hours later, the two teamed up on a connection Cougars fans will remember for a long time. On fourth down, Beall went after a 6-yard pass from Keenum that got batted up into the air and came down with it for the go-ahead score in Houston's 45-35 upset of Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Cougars (2-0) took advantage of a series of favorable bounces to give second-year coach Kevin Sumlin his first marquee win with the program's first victory over a Top 5 team since an upset of third-ranked Texas in 1984. Oklahoma State (1-1) was coming off of perhaps the biggest opening win in the program's history last week against Georgia, earning a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated and a Top 5 ranking for the first time since 1985. "We didn't overlook them at all. We practiced like we practiced for Georgia and any other team," said Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, who had five catches for 85 yards. After overcoming a 17-point halftime lead, the Cowboys squandered their final chances for a win. Quarterback Zac Robinson fumbled a snap to end one OSU drive in the fourth quarter, then threw his only interception to end the next. He finished with 240 yards on 18 for 31 passing with one touchdown. RABBITTS Bryant returned a punt for a touchdown against Houston for the second straight year as Oklahoma State reeled off 21 straight third-quarter points to surge ahead 28-21.

The Bears are preparing to play the Connecticut Huskies on Saturday. By Kevin Tamer Baylor Lariat WACO, Texas — It was only a matter of time before the Baylor football team started receiving some national attention, but it came a little sooner than expected. After the Bears' 24-21 win on the road against Wake Forest, Baylor received votes in both The Associated Press Top 25 poll and the USA Today coaches' poll. Head coach Art Briles appreciates the attention it brings Baylor, but he has his eyes set on the bigger picture of winning football games. "It's good recognition," Briles said. "But our goal for the season wasn't just to beat Wake Forest. We have to move on, keep taking care of business and everything else will take care of itself." The Bears received 17 votes in AP poll, which placed them 38th, and two votes in the USA Today Coaches' Poll to put them at 44th. This is the most votes Baylor has received in the AP poll since the 1998 season in which the Bears defeated North Carolina State at home during week three. Additionally, this is also the first time since 2005 the Bears have received votes in the coaches' poll. When asked about Baylor receiving votes in the polls, quarterback Robert Griffin welcomed the good news, but isn't giving it much attention. "At least we got a vote," the Copperas Cove native said. "But we aren't looking at that much. If we get in there, we get in there. But right now we are just focusing on winning games." Despite receiving votes and getting national attention, the Bears still believe they have room to improve. Baylor is looking to become more consistent on both sides of the ball and cut down on penalties, which caused them to give up a total 90 yards during the Wake Forest game. "The more people who are talking about Baylor it is better for us," senior linebacker Joe Pawelek said. "But that was not our best football game. To get that first road win against a quality opponent is good for us." top $26 O M-F 11-7 P Th 'til 8 E Sat 10-6 N Sun 12-5 hot LA trends - under $40 Envy Downtown 911 Mass ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC The Etc.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 18,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 29 --- ... TEXAS A&M AGGIES AJT Texas A&M head coach Mike Sherman watches play during the fourth quarter of the Aggies' first game of the season in College Station. Texas. The Aggies are trying some position changes to improve their offense this season. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tannehill adapts to new role for Aggies By Michael Sullivan Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A single word can describe sophomore Ryan Tannehill's three years at Texas A&M thus far: adaptation. From adapting to a college workload, new football personnel and now a new position, he has taken every change as a learning process. "I came here to play quarterback and I definitely didn't think I would be playing any wide receiver in my career here," Tannehill said. "I had a lot of fun [playing receiver], but I wished we could have won some more games. I had a lot of fun being out on the field." Upon his arrival in Aggieland, Tannehill was redshirted during the 2007 season. When Dennis Franchione was replaced by current head coach Mike Sherman, Tannehill was moved from throwing passes as a quarterback to wide receiver. "Ryan is a heck of an athlete," said junior quarterback Jerrod Johnson. "Ryan's definitely a good football player and he definitely helps his team in a lot of different ways." While making the adjustment from quarterback to receiver, Tannehill was also faced with handling the change in head coaches. "Sherman came in and led us to trust him right away."Tannehill said. "There was no down time and he picked up right where he wanted to and has started sending us in the right direction. We all believe in him and everything he can do." When the Aggies take the field Saturday against Utah State, Tannehill will be on the sideline relaying plays to Johnson. Announced to be the backup quarterback during Monday's new conference, Tannehill doesn't expect to see much playing time at wide receiver, but is ready to fulfill whatever role needed to make the team successful. "Whatever I am called upon, whether that is snaps at receiver or quarterback, then I will do that," Tannehill said. "It is just whatever I need to do to help the team. Whether Jerrod goes down in the first game or stays healthy all season, that is part of football, and he is our quarterback right now, and I just have to be ready to back him up." 5 7 0 KU Own a little piece of history.

THIS WEEK IN KU HISTORY September 21,1968 Kansas opened its season with a 47-7 win at Illinois. Coached by Pepper Rodgers, the Jayhawks finished 9-2 and tied for first in the Big Eight Conference. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Which Kansas player holds the record for the longest field goal made in a game? 31 Dan Eichloff, who successfully kicked a 61-yarder against Ball State on Sept. 12, 1992. KANSAN FILE PHOTO TAILGATING RECIPE OF THE WEEK Fall Chili What is this "Fall Chili" we speak of? Well, nothing different from your standard batch of chili except it just makes a lot more sense. As the temperatures drop and the football games give us a proper excuse to cook massive batches of food, chili is an ideal staple of the game day experience. Chili is equal parts experimentation and tradition. The options are limitless as to what you may add to it and when you find the perfect marriage of ingredients, stick with it. You never know how long a recipe will last. This is not one of those recipes. I actually slapped it together the other night using what I had. I was glad I had what I did. What you'll need: 2 lbs ground meat (in the pictured dish I used one pound lean ground beef, one pound ground bison) 2 cans red chili beans 1 packet of chili powder 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles 1 small can tomato sauce 1 large sweet onion, chopped 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 small can chipotle peppers 1 can beer 3 habanero peppers to soak - Fire up a large pot on the stove and cook meat until browned. Drain. - Season with chili powder and add onions and garlic.Cook for about two minutes. - Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chipotle peppers (let sauce in can empty out too) and beer. - Cut a small slice or hole into habaneros and let soak into chili. - Simmer for about an hour or more. The longer the better. - Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips. Cheese and crackers if you must.

"From the time she was little, she'd take her little blanket with her and she'd just dance around and put it over her head like it was a princess dress and dance and dance." Connie Morgan, her mother, said. When Morgan was buried last Wednesday, she was buried with a little piece of that childhood blanket. Morgans funeral was held at Mercer Funeral Home. Funeral Home in Holton P Morgan, Holton junior, died on Sept. 12 at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. She was driving on K-10 at around Morgan 3 a.m. when her car collided with another car, according to police reports. She and the driver of the other car, 20-year-old Eric Sill of Olathe, were both killed. Both were wearing seatbelts. She said police informed both families on Thursday night. Initial police reports stated that Morgan was driving in the wrong direction, but accident reconstruction specialists from the Kansas Highway Patrol later determined that Morgan was driving west in the westbound lane at the time of the accident, Connie Morgan said, and Sill was driving east. "You could tell if she liked you because she was always bouncing up and down in your face and just excited about every story," her best friend, Hannah Blodgott, said. "She told jokes and she had the most beautiful laugh." JennyTerrell/KANSAN Morgan was part of the dance team at Jackson Heights High School in Holton until her graduation in 2001. She then moved to Lawrence, where she studied at the University and worked at the Yacht Club. Katie Kirsch, her manager there, said that Morgan's energy was infectious.

Enrollment in the School of Business has increased since the economic recession began last year. Numbers have increased in both undergraduate and graduate courses, and more students are taking business degrees as a minor.** Business School numbers jump Economic downturn causes enrollment to increase for major BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com For generations, the business of Kolton Slattery's family has been business. His grandfather, John Slattery, built his life on his small businesses as a mechanic and a farmer in Wright, Kan. Kip Slattery, Kolton's father, studied business at the University and sold signs, eventually becoming the head sign salesman and senior account manager of Luminous Neon Inc. in Topeka. By the time Kolton Slattery, Topeka junior, started college even his brother, Kayle, had taken the familial path, with a KU degree - and a job - in business. Kolton began studying on a pre-medicine or pre-nursing path and positioned himself to be the first Slattery in three generations not to become a businessman. But Slattery was not destined for science. This fall, when he normally would have picked chemistry and biology classes, he decided his true future lay in the vocation of his brother, his father and his grandfather. He instead enrolled in Business 101. Slattery chose to pursue a business track not for sentimental family reasons but rather for a In light of increasing unemployment and a diminishing job market, Slattery isn't the only KU student changing majors.

SEE BUSINESS ON PAGE 4A Annual blood drive continues despite H1N1 concerns BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@ku.edu Every year the Lawrence Community Blood Center and American Red Cross hold a blood drive on campus and despite concerns of H1N1, this year will be no different. Starting today and lasting through Friday, locations will be open all over campus for students and faculty to donate blood. Because of the H1N1 flu concern, Kelly Unger, president of the Blood Drive Committee, said the group had put more effort into advertising this year in order to appeal to a wider demographic. "When they are symptom-free, they are welcome to donate," Kerbs said.

Not only have they increased the number of staff for this year's drive, they have also added a new location at the Kappa Delta sorority house on the west side of campus, said Jim Sajevic, Community Blood Center site representative. "We have gone to the greek system frequently and have always had success," Sajevic said. "We try to select different geographic parts of the campus and various types of buildings to attract more people." Sajevic said to reach the goal of 1,000 units of blood this year, the center would need at least 1,200 people to show up and donate. He said 20 percent to 25 percent of people would have an unexpected conflict or would be deferred. He said this would depend on where they had traveled because of disease outbreaks in certain countries, whether or not they had a low-grade fever or if they weren't feeling completely up to par. Donors could also be deferred if they had low iron or hemoglobin levels. "We address concerns head-on to ensure the product donated is safe for transfusion". Saievic said.

Riley Hospital for Children KOHL'S expect great things CBS Providence A billboard that encourages people not to text while they drive is shown in the north side of Indianapolis Thursday. Indiana drivers under age 18 are banned from using a cell phone while driving. Some lawmakers and safety experts have criticized states that penalize people who drive and text but still send traffic updates via Twitter. the-minute directions on how to steer clear of a traffic jam. It is a mixed signal that some safety experts and politicians say could be dangerous. At least 22 states that ban texting while driving offer some type of service that allows motorists to get information about traffic tie-ups, road conditions or emergencies via Twitter. ASSOCIATED PRESS "You shouldn't be fiddling around with any kind of electronic gadget in your car while driving," said Minnesota state Rep. Frank Hornstein, who helped write his state's no-texting-while-driving law. Many of these laws essentially bar people from fooling with their smart phones in any way behind the wheel; in some cases, just reading from a mobile device is against the law. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have banned all texting while driving, and eight others prohibit texting by younger drivers only, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Some supporters of text-messaging bans say that states that provide traffic information via Twitter are undermining these laws. "I would guess that the states wouldn't intend to be sending a mixed message, but it sounds like it could be a mixed message," said Judie Stone, president of the Washington-based Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. "You shouldn't be fiddling around with any kind of electronic gadget in your car while driving." State transportation officials say they are not encouraging people to get online behind the wheel. They say drivers should read their tweets before hitting the road. In Washington state, for example FRANK HORNSTEIN Minnesota state rep. where citizens and transportation officials can exchange messages about the latest traffic, the feed includes regular reminders not to use the service while driving. "Know before you go" said one feed this week. Drivers should "check our Web site before leaving. If you're at your office, before you leave and there's an issue on the roadway, it might alter your travel plans home," said Randy Ort, spokesman for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. The Arkansas ban on texting while driving goes into effect Oct. 1; this week, the state became the latest to provide road conditions via Twitter, the microblogging service that lets people read and send messages of 140 characters or fewer. Other places offering traffic information via Twitter include: California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. The apparent conflict results from two arms of government with seemingly good intentions: transportation departments that want to help motorists cope with traffic, and legislatures that are worried about the deadly consequences of distracted driving. While Washington state lets motorists tweet about traffic conditions, in most states the flow of information is one-way — from state officials to drivers. Some states, such as New York and Indiana, send lots of up-to-the-minute information. Others just tweet intermittently, or reserve Twitter for emergencies. Mississippi, for example, intends to use its service during hurricane evacuations. Maine has employed Twitter only to update drivers on an interstate highway project in the Portland area. Nebraska plans to use Twitter during winter weather emergencies. Oregon officials notify drivers about emergency road closings only. "We don't ing their tweets while they're driving," said Sally Ridenour, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Transportation.

"Did it really matter that you needed to tell everyone and their brother what the situation is? It's just not really not worth it." Young marijuana plants are shown Tuesday in Seattle. Washington requires patients to grow marijuana themselves or designate a caregiver to grow it for them. Washington's grow-it-yourself law on medical pot leads to confusion ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — In one corner of Washington state, a 62-year-old rheumatoid arthritis- tis patient could face more than eight years in prison for growing marijuana for himself and three others. In Seattle, meanwhile, a collection of grow operations serves 2,000 people with little interference from police. The discrepancy is typical of the confusion that has reigned since voters passed Washington's medical marijuana law more than a decade ago. Nor have things improved much since the state clarified how much pot patients can have last year. Unlike some states, Washington requires patients to grow marijuana themselves or designate a caregiver to grow it for them. For many, that's unrealistic: They're too sick to grow "The spirit of the law would recognize the necessity of having small cooperative ventures."

So they've devised their own schemes, claiming to meet the letter of the law in estab- Satterberg, the prosecutor in King County, where Seattle is. "But if you get past a certain size, become a magnet for neighborhood violence, or you get other people showing up to buy marijuana who are not permitted to under the law, then there's tension." Three years ago, Satterberg's office declined to prosecute a man who was growing 130 plants for 40 people. But a case this year may be testing his tolerance; He hasn't decided whether to charge a hepatitis patient caught with 200 plants, which he claimed supplied more than 100 other patients. Some activists and the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington recently began discussions with Seattle police over whether to limit the size of cooperative grows. In Spokane this month, police shut down a medical marijuana dispensary — the first such bust in the state — and arrested the two owners. They warned a half-dozen other dispensaries to close as well, and the raid quickly drew protests from patients. The raid has set up a high-profile court fight. Approved by voters in 1998, it allows doctors to recommend cannabis as a treatment for a series of debilitating or terminal conditions — a smaller range of illnesses than California's law. A year ago, the state issued guidelines to give police and patients alike an idea of how much pot was OK; Up to 15 plants and 24 ounces of dried marijuana per patient. People can have more if they demonstrate need. Police in some jurisdictions have applied the guidelines strictly, arresting people simply for having more than 15 plants, even if they possessed no usable marijuana.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported significant growth in both areas during the last major U.S. recession in the early 1980s, when unemployment reached 10.8 percent in November of 1982. Approximately 36,000 more students earned degrees in business in 1985-86 than in 1980-81, according to the U.S. Department of Education. In the same five year study, computer and information sciences, a department within the School of Engineering at the University, grew the sec ond most nationally by more than 27,000 degrees. Engineering, which added 13,000 degrees, came in third. As students in the '80s gravitated toward business and engineering, student involvement in 10 of the 30 listed fields in the study, including education, social sciences and history, visual and performing arts and the humanities, dropped. Ann Cudd, dear of the KU department of humanities, said students with degrees in these subjects had expressed concern about finding a job. She said she always asked about their biggest interest within their field of study and then tried to help them find resources that could lead to jobs. "We have a career center and a service learning center, both of which can help students figure out what they want to do." Cudd said. Being able to understand the Business School is a great tool. " Cudd also said she did not expect to see a significant decrease in humanities majors. Enrollment in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences rose from 16,653 students to 17,080 from 2007 to 2008, according to the KU Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Although Cudd acknowledged the recession had worsened, she said she thought KU students would always continue to pursue these subject areas, regardless of the state of the economy; for both their practical and intrinsic value. "I think even in a time when students might be worried how their major will apply to the job market, students will still be going to the humanities for those basic fundamental skills," Cudd said, "Majors in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences have to do with broader questions about human life. Those questions are going to be burning, regardless of the state of the economy." in growing schools, such as the School of Business, during times of recession, Cudd said. A more likely change would be a rise in the amount of students with a second major or a minor WHAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN "Double majoring has gone up over the years," Cudd said. "The business minor is clearly very popular." Russell Mosser is retired and isn't worried about his job status, but he is concerned about the people around him. He attended the University during the Depression and graduated 70 years ago in 1939 with an economics degree. KOLTON SLATTERY Topeka junior He said the economy now is not much different than it was in the 1930s — unemployment has risen, the market is struggling and the recession is dictating student career paths. Although he majored in economics, Mosser said he took courses in both money and banking and in public finance. He said when he first began pursuing an economics degree in the fall of 1936 — the middle of the Great Depression - he noticed a widespread uneasiness across the Lawrence campus. "Kids were pretty serious at that time because they were concerned about getting a job when they finished school," Mosser said. "There was no guarantee in that." Mosser said that although he did not notice his classmates choosing one or two fields in particular, the University overall had more students who were careful to choose the degrees they thought would be most practical. "Sometimes it looks like the same old thing, just in a different garb, to so say." Mosser said. "Things are not that different. They're just dressed up a little differently." BUSINESS IS BOOMING This fall, while more students chose business programs at the Lawrence campus, the number of graduate students in the part-time MBA program at the Edwards campus also grew by 30 percent, Dixon said. She said the 30 to 40 percent enrollment increase in the full-time MBA program in Lawrence was probably the biggest indicator of a struggling economy Dixon said the School of Business also accepted more undergraduate students this semester in an attempt to meet a higher demand from both students and outside employers. marketable." "We've been able to increase our faculty and, therefore, increase the number of students that we accept," Dixon said. "We've been expanding our programs based on what employers tell us they are looking for in new applicants. We try to listen to them to make sure our programs offer the skills employees are looking for when they hire." People are going into the full-time master's program when they're looking to retook and find a new career," Dixon said. "The economy has a lot to do with that. People are thinking of increasing their education so they'll be more Slattery, who said he hoped to secure an undergraduate spot in the School of Business, said his uncle, Joe Slattery, encouraged him to switch to business. Joe also attended the KU School of Business to pursue accounting, and is now the chief financial officer of SunGard Data Systems Inc. "He basically kind of told me everybody needs accountants," Kolton Slattery said. "Being able to understand the business school is a great tool for anybody to have. There's businesses everywhere." Slattery said he realized there were no guarantees for a job following graduation. But he said he would certainly be more marketable, and at a time when the market was struggling and jobs were scarcer, that advantage had acquired new value. Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, agreed. He said KU engineering graduates recently found success in securing jobs in health care and environmental protection, and other students had noticed. As Kansas employers have been seeking KU engineering graduates to help resolve state issues in these areas, he said, more students have sought to become a part of the supply. "Certainly we are seeing engineering as being a high demand," Bell said. "We were not even coming close to meeting the demand both Kansas City and Wichita are placing on our students."

Edited by Abbey Strusz BUSINESS Newspapers will try new online payment systems SAN FRANCISCO Newsaper publishers spent much of the spring and summer debating whether to cut off free online access to some of the material they run in their shrinking print editions. This fall some large newspapers are expected to put up Internet toll booths. They'll be testing readers' willingness to pay for information that mostly has been given away online for the past 15 years. That happened largely because most publishers could afford to subsidize their Web sites with profits from their print franchises. But now those profits have crumbled, just as the prices for online ads are tumbling, too. Publishers are using caution because they are still trying to devise online payment plans that will generate more revenue without alienating too many of their readers. Mary F.

The change is an issue for the state review board that will determine whether the project moves forward. The board's chairman has questioned how a name described last year as important to the project's success can be discarded this year. The track's parent company, International Speedway Corp., had used the Hard Rock brand when its partner in the casino venture was The Cordish Co. of Baltimore. But when Penn National Gaming Inc., of Wyomissing, Pa., bought out Cordish earlier this month, ISC adopted the Hollywood brand Penn puts on its premier properties. For the Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board, more than a name or theme is at stake. Chairman Matt All said the issue is whether one brand name is better at drawing customers than another — and whether the state sum- to get more revenues either way — from what already will be a notably different project. "The unique nature of it — the fact that you would look at that and say there's nothing else out there just like this — would make it a more effective tourist draw," All said. "I want to see the same type of thought and care put into this proposal to make it unique to this location as we got last year." The Penn-ISC partnership is the only remaining applicant for a contract with the Kansas Lottery to build and manage the single casino authorized for Wyandotte County. The lottery owns the rights to the new gambling, and the state will receive 22 percent of the revenue — eventually, almost $50 million annually, according to Penn-ISC projections. Last year, the review board awarded the lottery contract to an ISC-Cordish proposal for a $681 million. Hard Rock-themed hotel-and-casino complex in a competition that began with five applicants, none of them Penn. But later, because of the sour economy, the ISC-Cordish partnership wanted to revise its plans, and the lottery reopened the application process. The second time around, the ISC-Cordish partnership's only challenger was Penn, which proposed a $539 million complex with its Hollywood brand near the NASCAR track. The new ISC-Cordish proposal is worth $521 million. In buying out Cordish, Penn guaranteed that the first phase of construction on ISC's project can be financed without debt.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Obama and Palestine's president, Mahmod Abbas, in New York tomorrow. Obama will meet with Israeli Palestinian leaders on resolution ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Barack Obama will try to get Mideast peacemaking back on track this week in a meeting with the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, hoping the weight of the U.S. presidency can resolve a showdown over Israeli settlement construction and get the sides talking again after months of deadlock. For Obama, it's high-stakes diplomacy that relies on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as key to cracking other world problems. He'll be bringing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas together in New York on Tuesday for their first encounter since Netanyahu took office in March. Obama faces a tough task. The Israelis and Palestinians have dug in deep to positions that have eluded compromise, despite multiple visits by Washington's special U.S. envoy. Deep divisions among the Palestinians further complicate the process. And it's far from clear whether there is enough common ground between the hawkish Netanyahu and the weakened Abbas. The Palestinians hope to build a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel captured those territories in 1967. While Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 Netanyahu has given little indication that he is ready to make territorial compromises in the West Bank and east Jerusalem that would be crucial to reaching an accord. After the meeting was announced Saturday, Netanyahu's office said he "warmly accepts" the invitation. A senior Israeli official said the meetings in New York were meant to lay the groundwork for negotiations but would not constitute a relaunch of talks. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to articulate government policy on the record. FRN Hommad Zazi, father of a man suspected of a link to terrorists, leaves the Federal Building in Denver after being arrested by FBI agents in Aurora, Colo., late Saturday. Zazi's son, Najibullah Zazi, received weapon training from al-Oaida. ASSOCIATED PRESS Evidence surfaces of man's role in making explosives ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Investigators said they found notes describing how to make bombs in the handwriting of an airport shuttle driver arrested as part of a terrorism investigation, and they also discovered his fingerprints on materials — batteries and a scale — that could be used to make explosives. Zazi, 24, has publicly denied being involved in terror plot. Zazi, his father, and an Imam in New York City were arrested late Saturday on charges of making a false statement to the government, though legal experts say more charges could be coming. Zazi's defense team denied reports that Zazi considered a plea related to terror charges, and Zazi's attorney, Arthur Folsom, dismissed as "rumor" any notion that Zazi played a crucial role. Zazi's defense team did not respond to repeated attempts to reach them Sunday. The emerging details show that Najibullah Zazi, who has admitted receiving weapons training from al-Qaida, played a direct role in an alleged terror plot, authorities said court documents released Sunday.

Court documents filed in Denver say Zazi was speaking with agents under an agreement where he might avoid prosecution.

So Willis started her own local charity and breast cancer awareness drive. For $10, Willis will give students a pink extension and donate an proceeds to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center. The donations help fund everything from wigs to mammograms to medicine — and the charity specifically helps members of the local community. The goal is to raise $11,500. Willis will also be taking donated bras to string across the Kansas River in October in order to raise awareness. "This gets people talking, asking why they have pink in their hair, which gets people thinking about contributing," Willis said.

Breast cancer isn't something only women should be aware of. Not only can men get the disease in rare cases, but it's also brothers, fathers and sons who bear terrible emotional pain when someone they know gets the dreaded diagnosis. Charities such as Willis' make treatment less physically and economically taxing on patients and their families. Willis also makes it easy for men to get involved. "Anybody is welcome to buy T-shirts or make donations and men can certainly get a hair extension," Willis said. Students should consider taking part in this and other charities during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each donation is a step closer to fewer breast cancer victims and a step toward more breast cancer survivors.

Namibia Lake NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Vaccines not to blame for autism HEALTH Autism is becoming an epidemic in the United States, having increased about five-fold in the last 10 years. From its rise in diagnoses and increased media presence, autism has become the target of misinformation. The greatest myth surrounding autism is its hypothesized link to vaccines, an idea advocated by the anti-vaccination movement often attributed to Jenny McCarthy. They contend that the childhood vaccines impair normal neurological development and, therefore, cause autism. But an overview of the evidence behind these claims exposes them to be both false and dangerous. Is autism a true emerging epidemic? In the time that autism rates appeared to have grown in recent years, the medical definition of autism has begun to expand, and more people have gained access to physicians. Most scientists agree that this is creating the illusion of skyrocketing autism rates. Though it is possible that autism rates are growing, it remains far more likely that we are just much better at detecting it now than we were a decade ago. Anti-vaccinationists often point to vaccine's mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal as autism's true culprit. Intensive research has overwhelmingly shown that this is not the case. SAI THE SCIENCE GUY SAIFOLMSBEE Thimerosal contains the form of mercury called ethyl mercury, which is cleared from the body quickly and safely, not methyl mercury, which is more toxic and leads to most mercury-related neurological damage. Regardless, those who are exposed to toxic levels of mercury do not develop autism, but rather a more general form of neurological damage. The Centers for Disease Control had Thimerosal removed from childhood vaccines in 2001, with little change in the autism prevalence since. Many rigorous, independent epidemiological studies since have shown no significant connection between vaccines and autism. Despite these many lines of evidence, the anti-vaccination movement persists, now targeting different components in vaccines as harmful. This idea is not only scientifically incorrect; it is dangerous Measles, mumps, rubella and other vaccine-preventable diseases are slowly increasing around the country. After the historical use of vaccines had virtually eliminated these diseases, their numbers are steadily climbing. We are losing our herd immunity, our protection against disease transmission when nearly everyone is vaccinated. But if individuals continue to deny vaccines for their children and rely solely on herd immunity for protection, a devastating recurrence of these past-feated diseases is foreseeable. The cause of autism is still elusive, but researchers are slowly unraveling its mystery. It is becoming increasingly apparent that autism has a very strong genetic link. For instance, males are more than four times as likely to become autistic than females. Although there is almost certainly no single gene or mutation that contributes to the entire spectrum of the disorder, it is likely that the complex interactions of genetic expression and regulation result in autism Researchers are investigating the neurological characteristics of those with autism. By understanding what neurotransmitters are elevated or depressed, synapses grown or destroyed, or brain structures altered, we move steps closer to understanding autism and potentially developing better treatments. The safety and efficacy of vaccines may be one of the best-studied and documented treatments of modern medicine, but the non-evidence-based rationale of well-intentioned individuals in the anti-vaccination movement may do more harm than good.

Although I'm usually not one to voluntarily watch commercials, I hesitantly loaded the YouTube video. What followed was one of the best marketing campaigns in recent memory: basketball star Steve Nash in a satirical infomercial that makes fun of everything from traditional advertising techniques to his public image. Advertisements have attempted to use humor as a marketing technique in the past, but Vitamin Water's use of parody shows the new direction the market is heading. Young adults have always been reliable consumers, and there's no secret to which demographic is being targeted by Vitamin Water. Oh yeah, he's also saying some thing about creating your own Vitamin Water flavor through a Facebook group. Nash plays his part perfectly, using a gravely voice that's clearly an octave too low for him while slugging his way through the product presentation. I started to wonder. What makes Nash's commercial stand out? Similarly, Snickers has been running similarly witty campaigns by using popular public figures in their ads. One of my favorite commercials is the Patrick "Chewing" spot that features NBA legend Patrick Ewong zealously dunking a ball over an excited. Snickers eating fan Does it make sense? No, not really. It's not going to appeal to everyone. But this commercial has more than 700,000 views on YouTube, not including when the spot airs on regular television. It's impossible to deny that Snickers hasn't created a successful marketing campaign. The number of views of the video speaks for itself. Both of these companies understand the growing appreciation of satirical humor in our generation. I have a tendency to block out "normal" commercials on THAT GUY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE television, often because they're plain boring. Granted, some commercials I find boring could be appealing to others. (Maybe the Verizon Wireless commercials, but if anyone finds that damn "Can you hear me now?" gw appealing, it's news to me.) Some commercials think they've got what it takes to get the masses to chuckle, but fail miserably. (Sorry Dairy Queen and KFC. I appreciate the effort, but try again next time.) As a large consumer market, we appreciate commercials that appeal to our style of humor and personality. We all know the freecreditreport.com song, even though 90 percent of us have probably never visited the site once in our life. Burger King probably isn't a daily meal for most of us, but we're all familiar with "the King" and his amusing activities. Just because a commercial uses humor doesn't necessarily mean it's effective. What makes commercials stand out is their ability to leave an impression. Steve Nash and the Vitamin Water team have clearly put their unique stamp on an over-saturated market. Comedy isn't anything new with advertisers, but the new formula seems simple: Hire a public figure and satirize for humor. The formula is working for Vitamin Water. The Internet-exclusive commercial was recently shown on SportsCenter and has more than 120,000 views through its first week on YouTube. To find out for yourself, do yourself a favor and watch the commercial. Boultinghouse is a Girard sophomore in journalism and history. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Anti-abortion displays showed that the truth can sometimes be scary The writer of Thursday's letter to the editor, "Replacing graphic displays with sex education," mentioned several times the abortion display using scare tactics in order to push the message of staying abstinent. The several pictures of aborted fetuses and facts of harm to a baby and its mother were not pushing an anti-sex message. The goal of this panel was to inform people of the destruction of a child during abortion. The message was anti-abortion, not anti-sex. Open your eyes and open your mind. Regarding sex education, in Missouri a child in public school starts taking sex education in the seventh grade and continues until their second year of high school to take the class. This idea of multiple years of sex education did not prevent the 12 girls in my high school from getting pregnant. That is four years of the continuing message, yet it was ignored. Apparently we need "programs that embrace sexuality without using scare tactics." My question to you is this: When should you not see the effects of STIs in sex education class? You know, the pictures of disgusting warts that are oozing with puss and blood on a person's body from such infections. Is that not using scare tactics? The truth of the matter is that abortions look like the pictures that were on the display. And let me tell you that the truth is scary sometimes, but we have to accept it. Regarding the abortion dilemma I have to quote Ronald Reagan, who said, "I've noticed everyone who is pro-choice has already been born." There is a goal both pro-life and pro-choice people should have in common: reducing the number of abortions to zero. If the two groups can't come together then the task will never get done.

Mesac Damas, 33, who has family in Haiti, left Miami International Airport on Friday, said Collier County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Michelle Batten. Sheriff's officials said they wanted to talk to Damas, who is a person of interest. They were not calling him a suspect. The victims found Saturday were Guerline Damas, 32, and her children: Michzach, 9, Marven, 6; Maven, 5; Megan, 3; and 11-month-old Morgan. Batten would not say how they died. WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said requiring people to get health insurance and fining them if they don't would not amount to a back-handed tax increase. "absolutely reject that notion," the president said. Blanketing most of the Sunday TV news shows, Obama defended his proposed health care overhaul, including a key point of the various health care bills on Capitol Hill: mandating that people get health insurance to share the cost burden fairly among all.

Employers and job-seekers start turning to Twitter to network Find jobs on Twitter Find jobs on other networks Email employers Suggested companies What are you looking for? Employment search BY ABIGAIL BOLIN abolin@kansan.com Bashing Kanye West for his actions at the VMAs and stalking beloved celebrities are no longer the only uses for Twitter. Twitter is now redefining the job search. As the social network site surpasses 32 million users, more businesses are tapping into the fertile market of job seekers, according to research featured in the Wall Street Journal. "Be careful, you're marketing yourself professionally, not socially." "Social media gives us such an advantage," Carly Lapin, Chicago senior, said. "We have the ability to reach out to our friends and family and then that reaches their friends and family. We have a huge market to promote our real selves that we've never had before." TWITTER AS A TOOL With 32 million users and a limit of 140 characters or less, standing out on Twitter can be tough. Diane Darling, founder and CEO of Effective Networking in Boston, recommends making tweets different and clever while communicating the desire and ability to get work done. However, Darling points out simply tweeting a company is not enough to land a job. "It's what you put in it." Darling said. "Companies are looking for people who are willing to work Companies are looking to find people who want the job and will work hard to get it, Darling said. Furthermore, the concise style hard to get the job. Use Twitter but follow up with an e-mail and a phone call. By reaching out, your potential new boss will see you're genuine about getting the job." of tweets enables employers to tap into a specific market quickly. NEGATIVES OF TWITTER Even though Twitter offers a new platform to market oneself, Darling points out that social media can also cripple the chances of being hired. "When I search you," Darling explains, "I can see anything explain, "I can you've tweeted. It does not go away and it's not a mess you want to have to clean up." Keeping a who's ome web presence is important when entering the job market, Bo Luo, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said. Employers can search potential employees' names on Google, which will bring up previous tweets. Luo advises students to keep tweets clean and positive. Brian McDow, assistant director of strategic communications in the University Career Center, agrees, stressing that the place students play and connect with friends should be kept separate from the place used to reflect career aspirations. "Be careful, you're marketing yourself professionally, not socially," McDow said. "Use Twitter but follow up with an e-mail or a phone call." LINKING INTO A JOB "LinkedIn is not just a tool for professionals," McDow said. "It's promoting itself to students for use Although Twitter can be a good tool for a job seeker, it's better for finding a lead than finding a job, according to McDow. He recommended the Web site LinkedIn, a networking tool that allows members to create work-centered profiles, as a service for students entering the job market. DIANE DARLING CEO and founder Effective Networking W h e r h e r tweeting will take over the job market of the future is an unknown, but Luo in their job search.

Weston White/KANSAN Jayhawks' victory less than perfect BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com The Jayhawks look for noticeable trends. They keep track of defensive schemes and alignments. And then the game rolls around and all that preparation is tossed aside. In the week leading up to a game, members of Kansas' offensive unit, from quarterbacks to wide receivers, thoroughly watch film of their next opponent. With the reputation and statistical success of Kansas' offense looming large, the tendency for defenses this season has been to unveil new or lightly used schemes. In turn, the Jayhawks are thrown for a loop, even if only slightly. "Take Duke for instance," junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe said. "What we watched on film isn't really what they gave us on defense. E Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. But I kind of figured that because of the offense we have." The nature of Kansas' 44-16 victory against Duke was two-sided. Most notably, the Jayhawks played at home and defeated a lesser opponent without too many hiccups. As quarterback Todd Reesing said after the game, "We took care of business." Kansas' 28-point victory was impressive, but the margin should have been larger. Passes were dropped, drives stalled and the Jayhawks turned in another less- But there's another side to Saturday's game. than-crisp offensive performance. Sure, Kansas piled up 490 total yards and had zero turnovers against Duke. But after the game, players said something didn't sit quite so comfortably. "You could maybe make that excuse week one or week two early in the season," senior wide receiver Kerry Meier said. "But here we are week three going into week four and I don't think you can use that as an excuse anymore. We've got to shake those things." They hinted at the notion of underachieving, regardless of whether it was still early in the season. With Duke's defense showing previously unexpected coverages and schemes, Kansas' offense moved sluggishly through the first quarter. The Jayhawks scored just one touchdown and added anything but an in-sync unit. By the end of the game, Kansas' offense, led by Reeing's 338 passing yards and three touchdowns, more closely resembled the high- powered offense everyone expected. And when Duke attempted to limit Reesing's options down the field, he displayed the crafty, elusive running ability that has developed into a weekly occurrence. "Let me tell you now: People respect Todd Reesing," coach Mark Mangino said. "They're doing everything they can to try and distract him and give him different looks. You can fool him for a while but you can't fool him all day." On this day, much of Kansas' offensive workload fell onto Reesing's throwing arm. "Let me tell you now: People respect Todd Reesing." With senior running back Jake MARK MANGINO Football coach or running back jock Sharp limited to just five carries because of an undisclosed injury suffered during a noncontact drill in practice, the Jayhawks struggled to consistently run the ball. Making his first career start, freshman running back Toben Opurum carried the ball 17 times for 70 yards but gained 23 yards with Kansas maintaining a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter.

COMMENTARY Opurum impresses yet again BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com O on fourth and two in the third quarter, freshman running back Toben Opurum and his 6-foot-2, 235-pound frame sailed in the air, leaned to the right and clenched a Reeing floater, sandwiching the ball between his hand and his helmet. It was an unlikely one-handed catch by the bulldozer from the backfield. "Honestly, I didn't think I was going to catch that," Opurum said. The reception embodied the triumphs of a high-school-kidturned-Big-12 feature-back. Earlier this week in practice, regular starting running back Jake Sharp was injured in a noncontact drill and spent most of his Saturday on the sideline. So it was the Toben Opurum show against the Dukies and the bruiser didn't disappoint "He was pressed into duty today," coach Mark Mangino said. "Toben had to step up and he did a really good job." Oopurum had a sluggish first half, averaging a meager 3.1 yards per carry as he was constantly barricaded by a wall of white jerseys. Yet as the second half struck, so did his inner beast. Flexing his versatility in screens, options and inside and outside running, Oopurum tallied two touchdowns, 50 yards on the ground and 47 more yards through the air in the second half alone. Mangino said that nothing changed in his style of running or in the schemes called for the back. Instead, it was just a matter of getting acclimated to a featured role. "I think I did a better job of reading holes," Opurum said. In high school, running backs don't have to worry as much about lowering their shoulder and taking a hit. Far removed from those days. Opurum is still adjusting to the stout impact of Division I defenses. "They come at you ready to hit." Opurum said. "I felt Toben just got more comfortable as he went." Mangino said. "As a true freshman, there's so many little things to learn at that position. When he learns those little nuances, he will be even better." But that doesn't mean that he won't strike back. As a running back in a pass-first offense. Opurum must regularly use his size in pass blocking. On Saturday, he was delivering vicious beatdowns to any defender in the wrong place at the wrong time. "You can deliver the blow whether you have the ball in your hand or not," Opurum said. With such a multifaceted style of play, Opurum will likely continue to play a heavy role in the dynamic Kansas offense. When Sharp returns, the backfield will be a mouthwatering buffet of his speed and Opurum's power. Add that to what is already one of the most distinguished and talented pass attacks in the nation and you've got a dangerous offensive assault. "We're ready to face any adversity," Opurum said.

Also getting high mention were junior center Cole Aldrich and senior guard Sherron Collins. Blue Ribbon voted both players to first team All-American, joining Kyle Singler (Duke), Luke Harangody (Notre Dame) and Evan Turner (Ohio State). The preseason player of the year went to Aldrich. "We're happy to announce that t Follow Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/ c_thibodeaux. Cole Aldrich is Blue Ribbon's choice as national preseason player of the year." Blue Ribbon editor Chris Dortch said in a statement released Friday. "We've watched with great interest his development from high school through now, and we've always thought he had the potential for greatness." Kansas virtually retains last year's entire roster, which went 27-8 (14-2 in the Big 12 Conference) and made it to the Sweet 16. With the addition of the talented freshman class, Blue Ribbon has high expectations for the team. Aldrich averaged 14.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per game last year and led the Big 12 in blocked shots. He recorded Kansas' first triple-double against Dayton last year with 13 points and set career highs with 20 rebounds and 10 blocks.

BREED Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — There are some pretty horrific images in the Carolina Rollergirls' online injury archive: The purple-black bruise on Kristi Kreme's thigh; the nasty case of "rink rash" on Shirley Temper's X-ray of the shattered shoulder — and cobalt chrome implant — that ended Harlot O'Scara's roller derby career.

What most people don't realize is that roller derby — an amateur affair, with nonprofit, skater-owned teams competing for fun and bragging rights — doesn't pay. On the contrary, it costs skaters hundreds, even thousands of dollars a year for the privilege of knocking each other around on the track. "It's gas. It's baby sitters.

Raiders struggle early, win late against Chiefs ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On one of the most miserable days of his career, JaMarcus Russell got more than a win. He also put his name in the Oakland Raiders history book. Missing high, low and everywhere in-between, the 2007 NFL draft's No. 1 draft choice completed only 7 of 24 passes for 109 yards. But Russell came into focus when he had to, engineering a 69-yard scoring march in the final 2 minutes for a wildly improbable 13-10 victory over mistake-prone Kansas City. The Chiefs out-gained the Raiders (1-1) 409-166, while Russell became just the second quarterback since the start of the 1997 season to throw 20 or more passes, complete less than 30 percent of them but still win. And it's the first time in the Raiders' 50-year history that they've emerged with a victory after giving up more than 400 vards and gainin fewer than 200 themselves. Russell's teammates knew it was a fight from start to finish. "I felt really good. The ball was just coming out different for me," Russell said. "Other than that, I felt good." "From the first quarter all the way to the fourth quarter it was a struggle for us, until the last 2 or 3 minutes left in the game," said running back Darren McFadden, whose 5-yard touchdown run around with 1:07 left made the difference. "It's probably one of the strangest wins. But a win is a win." Oakland's victory may not have seemed so improbable to coach Todd Haley. Cassel, making his long-awaited Kansas City debut after being out a month with a knee injury, had given the Chiefs (0-2) the lead with a 29-yard touchdown strike to Dwayne Bowe with 2:38 to go. Cassel wound up throwing for 241 yards. "When you have nine penalties, two turnovers and a couple other lapses, you're not going to win most of the time," he said. "We didn't get the result we wanted. We're going to have a smart team here. Nine penalties and a couple of those things don't reflect a smart team. We're going to get back to work because we're going to have a smart team here." But Tom Cable agreed it was about as strange as they come. "It's as poor as I think you can play offensively and still find a way at the end there to win a football game," said the Oakland coach. "Every loss hurts. This loss kills you." While Cassel clearly outplayed his Oakland counterpart, he did make one mistake that Russell did not. Russell avoided interceptions while two of Cassel's passes wound up in the arms of Oakland defensive back Michael Huff. BRANDON FLOWERS Chiefs cornerback "We had things that happened throughout the day that we hurt ourselves with, whether it was offense or defense or special teams," Cassel said. "The Raiders did a good job and made the plays when it counted. Therefore, they're going home with the victory." "I knew that we left plays out there on previous drives before, so we had to come up with something," Russell said. Russell hit Louis Murphy for 19 yards and connected with Todd Watkins for 28 on the nine-play touchdown drive. McFadden took a pitch and sped untouched around the right side of the Chiefs defense. Brandon Flowers, the Chiefs' No.1 cornerback, returned after being out almost a month with a shoulder injury. But he was guilty of one of the many mistakes by Kansas City when late in the first half he let an interception sail right through his hands. With nothing but open field in front of him, Flowers would probably have waltzed into the end zone. "Every loss hurts. This loss kills you," he said.

Running back Roy Helu Jr. and quarterback Zac Lee fell short, as Helu ran for 169 yards and Lee completed only 11 of 30 passing attempts. Nebraska was leading until Virginia Tech (2-1) scored a touchdown with 21 seconds left in the game. NEBRASKA 15, VIRGINIA TECH 16 Nebraska falls, Texas vindicated BIG 12 ROUND-UP It all came down to the fourth quarter for Texas (3-0) and Texas Tech (2-1) in the Big 12's first intraconference game of the season. Texas sealed its victory against Tech when Texas quarterback Colt McCoy threw a touchdown pass to Dan Buckner, putting Texas up by two touchdowns. Texas Tech answered back when quarterback Taylor Potts threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tramain Swindall to bring the score to 24-31. The Texas defense preserved its offense's lead as it forced two Texas Tech fumbles in the fourth quarter. Missouri's quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in Missouri's victory against Furman (2-1) on Saturday. Gabbert completed 17 of 25 passes for 256 yards in the game. Missouri (3-0) scored six consecutive touchdowns, including one interception return for a touchdown by Jacquies Smith who ran for 43 yards.

C COLORADO 24, WYOMING 0 Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud showed a vast improvement compared with last week's performance, where he threw four interceptions and was taken out of the game. Arnaud ran for two touchdowns and threw for another. Iowa State (2-1) managed two touchdowns in just over two minutes during the first quarter and didn't let up from there. Iowa State running back Alexander Robinson ran in a 15-yard touchdown and rushed for 143 yards in his fifth career 100-yard rushing game. KANSAS STATE 9, UCLA 23 After hearing criticism from fans and media for two weeks, Colorado (1-2) silenced its critics with a shutout of Wyoming. Quarterback Cody Hawkins completed 17 of 31 passes for 175 yards but no touchdowns. Running back Rodney Stewart returned after a hamstring injury and scored two touchdowns on 127 yards rushing. The Cowboys helped Colorado to victory when they missed a 37-yard field goal and failed to convert on a fake punt. OKLAHOMA 45, TULSA 0 TEXAS A&M 38, UTAH STATE 30 Zac Robinson's two touchdown passes and his one rushing touchdown kept the Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-1) from falling to the Rice Owls (0-3) this week. Robinson didn't have the most impressive performance of his career, but his 227 yards on 14 of 20 passes were enough to win. Robinson threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Dez Bryant, who had 161 yards on nine catches. Oklahoma State played this week without its star running back, Kendall Hunter, who was out with a sprained right ankle. OKLAHOMA STATE 41, RICE 24 IOWA STATE 34 KENT STATE 14 fibula. Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson threw for 322 yards and four touchdown passes. After a victory against Wake Forest and a week off, Baylor (1-1) fell at home to Connecticut (2-1) this week. Connecticut's run game was too hard for Baylor to stop as the Huskies rushed for 235 yards. The Bears gave up two fumbles that led to touchdowns for the Huskies. Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin led a futile 78-yard drive that ended in a two-point conversion, bringing the Bears within eight points, but it wasn't enough to stop Connecticut from winning. Kansas State (1-2) couldn't stop the UCLA Bruins (3-0) on Saturday, and the Wildcats lost for the second straight week. Kansas State lost on the road last week to Louisiana Lafayette. Wildcat quarterback Carson Coffman passed for 192 yards but was intercepted two times and sacked six times. With only one field goal in the first half, the Wildcats kicked only one field goal in the first half but moved 80 yards in 14 plays from their first possession of the third quarter, scoring on a seven-yard run by Daniel Thomas. Thomas' run was the only Wildcat touchdown of the game. Stand-in quarterback Landry Jones and wide receiver Ryan Broyles combined for the second straight week to lead Oklahoma (2-1) to a victory against Tulsa (2-1). Jones threw for 336 yards, six touchdown passes and two interceptions, one of which bounced off the top of Broyles' hands. Broyles had 11 catches for 128 yards and three touchdowns. Jones and Broyles may not combine for another three touchdowns if injured Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford returns next week. BAYLOR 22, CONNECTICUT 30 Freshman receiver Uzomn Nwachukwu was the standout player for Texas A&M (2-0) in its road victory against Utah State (0-2). Nwachukwu scored four touchdowns and had 101 yards receiving. Nwachukwu did most of his damage after teammate Jeff Fuller was injured in the first half.

Blanked on the game's first drive, Kansas' offensive players watched their double-digit underdog opponents, Duke, draw first blood on a two-play, 87-yard drive that lasted just 35 seconds. "We were standing on the sideline like 'Wow, they are a pretty good offense; we've got to pick our offense up'" junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe said. After a nine-play opening drive by Kansas carved off a third of the first quarter to no avail, the first Duke offensive play of the game resulted in a 66-low Lewis completion to wide receiver Austin Kelly. The subsequent Duke timeout lasted longer than the rest of the drive as Lewis darted to the end zone on a 21-yard draw play, which instilled a sense of urgency in the Jayhawks that ultimately fueled their victory. Saturday's 11 a.m. kickoff may have necessitated a wake-up call for some fans. For Kansas, it came from the arms and legs of Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis. t "It was kind of like they came Follow Kansan writer Stephen Montemayor at twitter.com/ smontemayor. prepared to play, and we kind of slept on them a little bit," freshman running back Toben Opurum said. "But we were going to bounce back from anything, that's what I think." That mindset proved imperative for Opurum, who saw increased time because of senior Jake Sharp's injury. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing headed the list of Jayhawks eager to answer Duke's early score. After all, Reesing did go on to complete his first 300-yard passing game of the season and added a trio of touchdowns. His first touchdown, a 14-yard pass to Briscoe, came in response to Duke's opening drive and evened the score. Kansas wouldn't trail again. "There was definitely a sense of urgency," Reeing said. "Anytime someone comes out and scores like that and goes right down the field on a few plays you've got to answer right back on offense." The wake-up call ignited a Kansas offense that has so far proved more adept outside of the first quarter. Including Saturday's Weston White/KANSAM victory, Kansas has outscored opponents 17-7 in the first quarter. Not quite an epidemic, but considering its 61-0 second-quarter advantage it is clear that Kansas has needed some inspiration to start firing away. Kansas converted thatenergy into 27 consecutive points. As the team approaches its final non-conference game, a home game Saturday against Southern Mississippi, a common belief among teammates is the necessity of getting on the board earlier. Although Southern Mississippi was blanked in the first quarter against Virginia Saturday, it opened its first two games this season with 14-point advantages. It also possesses an offense that notted 30.6 points per game in 2008. "I guess our adrenaline started flowing a little more," Briscoe said of his team's response to Duke's early score. L. BRISCOE 80 KANSAS 5 Junior receiver Dezmon Briscoe slaps hands with senior quarterback Todd Reesing after catching a touchdown pass. Briscoe accounted for 117 of Reesing's 338 passing yards Saturday afternoon. Kansas won 44-16 and moved to 3-0 for the third time in the last five seasons. SHARP OUT Senior running back Jake Sharp, who entered the game as Kansas' leading rusher, played sparingly because of an undisclosed injury suffered during practice. Sharp carried the ball just five times for 13 yards and lacked his usual explosiveness. Mangino said Sharp suffered the injury during a non-contact drill and that he wasn't sure on his status for next week. GAME NOTES "I don't think it's a long-term thing," Mangino said. DROPS PLAGUE RECEIVERS was the number of dropped passes by Kansas. The Jay- hawks had at least three or four dropped passes, including two that would have been touchdowns. One of the more noticeable flaws during Saturday's game "I think we've had some crucial drops and I'm not pleased with it," coach Mark Mangino said. "I think it carries over to the practice field. On a Thursday practice we had too many drops." Mangino said after the game that he expects sophomore tight end Tim Biere, who has been suffering from an undisclosed illness, to begin practicing this week BIERE SET TO RETURN TO PRACTICE FRESHMAN LB MAKES 10 TACKLES In just his third collegiate game, freshman linebacker Huldon Tharp turned in a noteworthy number of tackles. Tharp made 10 stops for Kansas and coach Mark Mangino said Tharp is continuing to improve with more playing time. "We kind of pressed him into duty because we needed help at linebacker," Mangino said. "And he's getting better. He made some mistakes today but then, boy, he came back and made some really good plays."

Opurm followed the best catch of his college career with an impressive 15-yard run. Now, the challenge is to follow a successful start with a season of game by game consistency. Already with five touchdowns in the first three games, the freshman is off to a Brandon Jacobs-esque start. Look for the bulldozing to continue — there's still some work to do. "I always prepare myself as if I was starting." Opurum said.

"We had a little trouble running the ball," Reesing said, "but a lot of things were open in the passing game." Reesing's favorite target Saturday morning proved to be Briscoe, Kansas' big-play threat who displayed that against Duke. Briscoe finished with 117 yards on six catches and routinely gashed the Blue Devils' secondary for big gains. But even the normally sure-handed Briscoe had miscues. Briscoe dropped a would-be touchdown pass and so, too, did junior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson. "For us to come in the locker room and not be celebrating our third win — we're not really hanging our heads, but we feel like we left points on the field," Briscoe said. On Duke's opening possession, Kansas' defense was jolted for an early morning wakeup call. The Blue Devils used just two plays and all of 35 seconds to torch the Jayhawks for 87 yards and the game's first seven points. It wasn't a good start for a defense that appeared to experience a breakthrough last week after locking down UTEPs offense. But the quick score only fortified the Javahawks. "I felt like we had a good performance out there, but there's always room for improvement," junior defensive end Jake Laptad said. "We satisfied with getting the win but we know that we could have played a lot better than we did out there." Using well-executed blitzes, Kansas sacked Duke's quarterbacks five times and made 11 stops behind the line of scrimmage for 49 yards in losses. That, more than any sentiment, seemed to be the reverberating theme from Kansas' players after the game. The Jayhawks did what was expected in defeating the Blue Devils, but they didn't do so by playing a completely sharp game. "That's just our mentality," Meier said. "We're never satisfied even though we're sitting here 3-0 and we put up 44 points and the defense played great all day. But we're a team that hungry and we don't think we played our best ballgame." Quote of the Game Edited by Amanda Thompson Wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe on his relationship with quarterback Todd Reesing. "There's situations where I have to make a play and he'll just look at me with a little head nod. And then we go." PETER KEITH QUOTE OF THE GAME.. Briscoe Game Balls 3. Dezmon Briscoe. Briscoe provided Kansas with a much-needed big play threat against Duke. Briscoe made six catches for 117 yards. He averaged 19.5 yards per catch. 2. Maxwell Onyegbule. Onyegbule earned the Big 12's co-Defensive Player of the Week honor for his performance against UTEP. He didn't suffer much of a drop off against Duke. Onyegbule finished the game with one sack and a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown 1. Quarterback Todd Reesing. With the run game struggling at times, much of the offensive workload fell upon Reesing. And he delivered. Reesing passed for 338 yards and three three touchdowns. Delay of Games 3. Johnathan Wilson and Dezmon Briscoe. The two combined for 10 catches and 180 yards. But both Wilson and Briscoe dropped would be touchdowns. 1. Kansas' opening series defense. OK, the defense played well for most of the game. But where were the Jayhawks during the Blue Devils' first drive? Duke scored the game's opening touchdown with a two-play, 87-yard drive. It was a bad start for Kansas. 2. The crowd. By the time the fourth quarter started, many fans had already headed for the exits. By that time, the Jayhawks had all but sealed the victory. Still, Kansas' fans are developing a bad reputation for leaving games extremely early. Play of the Game Senior quarterback Todd Reesing flung a pass off his back foot over the middle and senior wide receiver Kerry Meier did the rest. With a Duke defender in front of him, Meier fully extended his body to make a diving catch near the end of the first half. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... Kansas played much of the game without senior running back Jake Sharp and still managed to post impressive offensive numbers. Sharp, who carried the ball just five times because of an undisclosed injury suffered in practice, entered the game as the Big 12 leading rusher. The run game wasn't great without him but it was good enough. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY... Kansas started slowly for the third consecutive game. The Jayhawks have scored just 17 points in the first quarter this season and they often appear sluggish on their first two or three drives. That trend continued against Duke. BIGGEST ANSWER... D-LINE DOING ITS JOB? Kansas' defensive line has developed into one of the season's best surprises through three weeks. Kansas' pressure forced Duke's quarterbacks to miss open receivers and senior defensive end Max Onyegbule returned an interception for a touchdown. Kansas' passing attack hasn't gone anywhere. After last week's game against UTEP, quarterback Todd Reesing said the pass game wasn't as crisp as in the past. But Reeing and the Jayhawks turned in a solid performance against the Blue Devils Saturday: 338 yards and three touchdowns. STILL QUESTIONING... Senior running back Jake Sharp's health. Sharp carried the ball just five times against Duke because he suffered an injury during non-contact drill in practice, coach Mark Mangino said. Mangino also said the injury didn't appear to be long-term but Sharp didn't appear anywhere near game ready on Saturday. LOOKING AHEAD... Southern Mississippi possesses a talented cast of offensive weapons. Senior running back Damion Fletcher has rushed for more than 4,500 yards in his career while sophomore wide receiver DeAndre Brown is one of the most underrated players in the country. GOOD BAD OR HUST BLAIN STUDIO? Original prediction: Kansas 45, Duke 13. Actual score: Kansas 44, Duke 16. It's hard to argue with this one. For once, the prediction falls into the "good" category. FINAL THOUGHT... Kansas wasn't very sharp against Duke but the Jayhawks didn't need to be. Kansas played well enough to easily handle a less-talented team and improve to 3-0. The only real negative? Sharp's health concerns. -Jayson Jerks Schedule Date Opponent Result/Time 9/5 Northern Colorado W, 49 09/12 at UTEP W, 34-7 09/19 vs. Duke W, 44-16 09/26 vs. Southern Miss 11 a.m. 10/10 vs. Iowa State TBA 10/17 at Colorado TBA 10/24 vs. Oklahoma TBA 10/31 at Texas Tech TBA 11/07 at Kansas State TBA 11/14 vs. Nebraska TBA 11/21 at Texas TBA 11/28 vs. Missouri TBA 12/05 Big 12 Championship TBA --- 6B CLASSIFIEDS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOMETOWN housing SALE for sale ...

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 SPORTS 7B INVITATIONAL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) fielder Cattlin Noble scored in the 65th minute and junior defender Lauren Jackson scored after running the length of the field. A late goal by junior Rachel Morris made the final score 5-0. On Sunday, it took even less time for Kansas to get the game-winning goal against South Dakota State. "We kept a team off the board that's a very dangerous offensive team," Francis said. "I think it was smart of the coaching staff to start her and let her know that they do believe in her," Johnson said. After the jackrabbit kickoff, Morris took down a cross from Berry and shot high over the keeper to score her second goal of the weekend. It took just 23 seconds. Francis said the defense was also impressive. He noted a renewed effort to pressure the ball and create turnovers. Dolinsky scored in the 20th minute, and Johnson settled a corner and scored in the 55th minute. Morris scored her third goal of the weekend in the 70th minute, effectively ending any Offensive Player of the Tournament debate. Johnson said that Morris was a player who sometimes needed some confidence. With a game at Oklahoma State looming on Friday, Francis said he was happy with what he had seen in the non-conference part of the season. He pointed to their resilience after their disappointing weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. BASKETBALL Spain takes European title for first time ever — Edited by Abbey Strusz KATOWICE, Poland — Pau Gasol had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead world champion Spain to a 85-63 win over Serbia in the final of the European basketball championship Sunday. The victory gave Spain its first European title after six runner-up finishes, including a one-point loss two years ago to Russia in front of its home crowd. The Spaniards dominated from the start at both ends of the court, playing pressure man-to-man defense and getting out on the break for easy baskets to take a lead. "It was a great game, and obviously we won the final that we lost twice before this year, so I'm extremely happy and it's an unforgettable day for us" Gasol said. "We just worked so hard to win this championship and I'm just super proud of my teammates." Guard Rudy Fernandez chipped in with 13 points for Spain, while Uros Tripkovic led Serbia with 15 points. "We lost the first half, and probably the game was finished," Serbia coach Dusan Ivkovic said. "The Spanish team was better and they deserved absolutely this title." Spain was pegged as the favorite coming into the tournament, but struggled early, dropping its opener to Serbia 66-57 and losing a second-round game to Turkey. "We were aware of our individual quality, but we weren't playing as well or as good as we should have collectively," Gasol said. "So we sat down, and were like it's now or never, we have to react, we have to work together, we have to start having fun playing, playing with enthusiasm. And it just clicked." Did it ever. The team won its final five games by an average of 21.2 points. "At the beginning we were a little bit concerned, but with hard work and great commitment from players we get to be an excellent defensive team, and we showed it in the last games" Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said. Serbia, a surprise finalist, had the youngest team at the tournament with an average age of 22.4 years. For the first time in the tournament, Serbia's youth showed. Associated Press Red Lyon Tavern 944 Massachusetts St. (785) 832-8228 Rugby loses 50-0 with partial team present CLUB SPORTS BY MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com Typically, a rugby match is played with 15 players on each team. The men's club rugby team went to Manhattan with 13. Kansas State took advantage of this, making the final score of the match 50-0. The score, however, was not indicative of how the layhawks played short-handed. Both teams played very physically, the difference was the backline play (skill players, like wide receivers) of Kansas State. "They used their pumbers to their advantage, they always had overlaps on the outside, and they spun it out there whenever they needed to," Nick Mancini, Los Angeles senior and team captain, said. Matters got worse for the Follow Kansan writer Max Lush at twitter.com/ udk_mlush. t Jayhawks midway through the first half, when their 8-man (the player at the rear back of the scrum), senior Adam Lauridson, had to come out of the game with what the team said was a fractured cheek bone, leaving the team playing three players short for the remainder of the game. It dealt a large blow to the Jayhawks' strongest part of their game, the forward pack. Scrummaging (a way to restart the game where both forward packs push against each other to try and win the ball) became an area that the Wildcats exploited. Out of the 17 scrums the jawhacks had in their favor, they lost possession in the scrum 9 times. "In scrimmaging we had to mix and match a lot of guys; much of our forwards were in a position they have never played before," said Brandon Holland, Lawrence junior, who plays hooker but played prop in this match. Even in such a lopsided match, there were positives and learning points taken from it. "I thought our line-outs went fantastic, and our one-on-one tackling in the open field was very solid." Mancini said. A line-out is how you restart play if the ball goes out of bounds. The Jayhawks lost only one line-out on the day because of the throw not being straight. GAME NUMBERS Kansas State Kansas Lineouts for/lost: 2/0 5/1 Scrums for/lost: 4/0 17/9 Penalties Against: 5 7 There is still hope for the team to make it to Westerns, the playoff system that teams from the Central Division compete to get into. For the Jayhawks, the road has gotten much more difficult. Only one team from the Central Division makes Westerns by playing Merit Table matches inside the division. Each team plays everyone home and away; the best record makes it to Westerns. For now it is back to the practice field for the team. "We need to get our numbers out at practice and games," coach Matt Schwartz said. "We have a lot we need to work on in order to get better this season." NFL Next week the team goes to Truman State to play its next Merit Table match. "We are going to go home and regroup, then get ready for Truman State," Holland said. New York Jets back trash talk with a victory Edited by Alicia Banister ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Rex Ryan sent a message to the fans. His New York Jets delivered one of their own. Rookie Mark Sanchez outplayed a Super Bowl champion quarterback and the Jets backed up their big talk, shutting down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. 16-9, on Patriots 16-9 on Sunday. "We believe that we are the better team today," Ryan said. "We went out and showed it. I think our fans are huge in this victory." 92 89 21 13 So huge, in fact that Ryan said he call, causing a tough time for the Patriots' offense all game. Brady was forced into consecutive delay of game penalties in the third quarter. "I've got to do a better job," Brady said. "They don't come up very often, but when they do, they hurt. And they hurt us today." Ryan also said the Patriots had the better coach and quarterback coming in. "Sometimes we talk a little bit, but it's only because we have confidence in our football team." REX RYAN New York Jets coach Hold on. Rex. Don't sell yourself short. was giving the fans a gameball that would be placed in the team's trophy case. The fans clearly answered the "I thought they were the difference," Rvan said. The victory was the first for the Jets (2-0) over Brady at home, and the first over the Patriots (1-1) at the Meadowlands since 2000. And, it came after a week during which Ryan reiterated his offseason comments that he didn't come to "kiss Bill Belichick's rings" and sent a voicemail to season ticket holders, urging them to be loud. New York Jets cornerback Dwight Lowery (21) reacts with teammates after deflecting a pass to New England Patriots wide receiver Joey Galloway (13) for the Patriots last offensive play of the game during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game Sunday at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The Jets won the game 16-9. "The big deal is, we're a football team that should be respected," Ryan said. "Sometimes we talk a little bit, but only because we have confidence in ASSOCIATED PRESS end to that, it's great." our football team." Brady had a chance to tie it for the Patriots, getting the ball at the Patriots 10 with 1:48 left, but the Jets' defense stopped him as Dwight Lowery knocked away a pass to Joey Galloway on fourth down. Earlier in the week, lets safety Kerry Rhodes said New York wanted to "embarrass" New England. "Honestly, I was thinking interception," Lowery said, "but the angle I was at, I couldn't really get a pick. Knocking it down was the second thought and I just got it out of there." "Kerry made a statement, we stood behind him and we had his back," defensive end Shaun Ellis said. "It's a major win for us," Ellis said. "To close that out and put an Sanchez came out throwing in the second half after a quiet first two quarters and connected with Dustin Keller on a go-ahead touchdown, and the jets' defense clamped down on the Patriots. Brady was unable to engineer his 30th comeback victory as Sanchez took a knee twice to seal it. Brady had beaten the Jets in 12 of the previous 14 games he had faced them overall. "We had a chance there," Brady said. "We just didn't execute in that 2-minute possession. It's something we've been good at, but the jets were better at it today." Sanchez finished 14 of 22 for 163 yards and the touchdown to Keller, while Brady was 23 of 47 for 216 yards and an interception. He was without one of his favorite targets as Wes Welker sat out with a knee injury, and Randy Moss was held to four catches for 24 yards. "We're not really firing on all cylinders right now," Brady said. "To not get the ball in the end zone is unacceptable." The Patriots got three field goals from Stephen Gostkowski a week after the Jets' defense held the high-scoring Houston Texans without an offensive touchdown in a 24-7 win. "That's a statement not just to us," cornerback Darrelle Revis said, "but to the league that every week we're going to come out here and try to get a shutout." Sanchez was 3 of 5 for 15 yards in the first half, but connected with Jerricho Cotchery for a 45-yard gain to the Patriots 11 on the first play of the third quarter. After a 2-yard run by Thomas Jones, Sanchez found Keller in the back of the end zone to give the jets a 10-9 lead 1:03 into the third quarter. Jay Feely added two field goals to make it 16-9 with 9:48 remaining. "Give the Jets credit," Belichick said. "They just did a better job than we did today and I don't think there's really a while lot more to say about it." BETCHA WE CAN BEAT YA HOME!

Though Robinson Natatorium was filled with the enthusiasm of swimmers out to impress, only two swimmers were able to outpace the alumni in any single event. In the 50-yard backstroke, junior Iulia Kuzhil surged past sophomore Abigail Anderson to take first place with a time of 26.31 seconds. Although Kuzhil and Anderson were the only current Kansas swimmers to outswim alumni, coach Clark Campbell said he liked what he saw out of his team. He said freshmen Monica Johannessen, Brooke Brull and Alyssa Rudman all performed well in their first collegiate swim meet. Follow Kansan writer Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrew_taylor11. t Danielle Herrmann, 2009 KU alumna, won three out of the five individual events. Herrmann has been training with the team in preparation for short-course nationals in December. She has also worked with the team's breaststrokers throughout their training this season. "Danielle has certain things she does as well as anyone in the country." Campbell said. One of the alumni in attendance, 64-year-old Bob Scribner, swam the 100-yard individual medley. Scribner swam with the University from 1962-1966 and still swims competitively. At the most recent Show-Me State "To see a person of my age still doing it and still having fun. I hope it made them realize it's not just for young people." Scribner said. Games, Scribner won three gold medals in his age group. Despite the lighthearted atmosphere surrounding the meet, Campbell said swimming against men and more experienced alumni magnified several things the team needed to work on. Among the problems amplified were the need for improved starts and turns. Campbell and his staff have just less than three weeks to address this problem before the team hosts its annual intrasquad meet on Oct. 9. Even with some minor struggles, senior swimmer and team captain Carrah Haley viewed the meet as a success. "It was a good meet to start us off," Haley said. "We got our jitters out." — Edited by Amanda Thompson MLB Royals win with Tejeda's pitching ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Even with a blister on his right throwing finger and the lack of his usual overpowering fastball, Robinson Tejda continued his dominance since joining the Royals rotation. Tejeda won his third straight start, pitching six solid innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Sunday. Since moving from the bullpen to the starting rotation on Sept. 4, Tejeda is 3-0. He has allowed just two runs over 22 1-3 innings as a starter. "He didn't really have his overpowering fastball," Royals catcher John Buck said. "But he reached down and really let it go every once in a while when we needed do and really did a good job locating with his fastball both sides of the plate." Tejida allowed one run and three hits. He struck out five and walked two and was not phased by a blister that developed in his last start against Detroit. Royals closer Joakim Soria got five outs for his 26th save in 29 opportunities. He struck out Paul Konerko with runners on first and second in the eighth. After a walk to Alexei Ramirez to load the bases, Soria ended the White Sox scoring threat by getting Jermaine Dye to fly out. Tejeda left the game after throwing 104 pitches and retiring the last seven batters in order. “It’s pretty amazing seeing the transformation a guy can make from going from the bullpen to being a starter and having the success that he’s had.” A.J. Pierzynski. “He’s done it four or five times now so it’s not a fluke.” The White Sox failed to take advantage of a strong start by Freddy Garcia, who went a season-high eight innings, allowed two runs on five hits. He struck out three on walked one. Chicago has lost four of its last five games and trail the Detroit Tigers by 61-2 games in the AL Central. "We're not in a good spot, were not where we want to be, but even if we were leading the division by 6 1-2 games it wouldn't change what we needed to do tomorrow when we come in here," said Paul Konerko. Willie Bloomquist led off the game with a double and stole third. With one out in the third innning, Josh Anderson bunted for a hit and stole second. Anderson scored on Maier's single. Anderson also helped Tejeda by robbing Carlos Quentin of a homer when he made a leaping catch at the wall in center. Scott Podsmednik led off the fourth for the White Sox with a single and scored on Pierzynski's RBI single. Tejeda escaped further damage by getting Quentin to fly out with the bases loaded to end the inning. WEEKEND BLUNDERS? LET ME HELP DUI/DWI/OUI/MIP Theft Charges Drug Charges BLUNDERS?

Capt. Schuyler Bailey, University police spokesman, said the incident happened after the student returned to her dorm room at 1815 Naismith Drive at about 6 p.m. Bailey said that when the victim entered her room after returning from dinner, an unknown suspect grabbed her and pushed her against a wall, knocking her unconscious. The victim regained consciousness about 45 minutes later and reported to University police that she had been sexually assaulted. Bailey said the victim's roommate was not in the dorm at the time of the attack. Bailey said the incident was not believed to be related to the series of unsolved rapes in the Lawrence and Manhattan areas. The suspect was reported as a white male with brown hair, about 6 feet tall and weighing 170 pounds. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call the University Crime Stoppers at 785- 864-8888. "You have to remember to always lock your doors and be a good neighbor," Bailey said. "If you see someone suspicious around your residence, call the police immediately." Bailey urged students to take necessary precautions to protect themselves, especially while in their personal residence. — Edited by Nick Gerik FILM Junior wins Red Bull video challenge BY JUSTIN LEVERETT jleverett@kansan.com Higginbotham and 2,500 other students from across the U.S. were given 60 minutes of raw video from Pastrana's motocross and rally car racing career to edit into a highlight reel of less than three Higginbotham, Overland Park Junior, won the Red Bull Rough Cuts video contest.

SEE CONTEST ON PAGE 6A Bagworms eat up campus trees, plants A cool, wet summer has helped increase the worms' presence and their destruction BY ALY VAN DYKE avandyke@kansan.com Walking around campus after the first of June and up until winter, students are likely to see hundreds of 2-inch bags hanging from evergreen plants. They're not some kind of seed or early Christmas decoration, and they're definitely not helpful for the plant. The bags are home to inch-long, black worms that feed off the leaves of plants and trees, particularly evergreens. Left unchecked, these worms can devour and kill entire shrubs, leaving only a skeleton of what the plant used to be. Spraying for and removing the pests cost the University, the city and residents hundreds of dollars each year. Sabrina Keidel, accountant for Facilities Operations, said the University spent $315.60 on an insecticide used to treat bagworms and other pests. Mike Lang, campus landscape manager, said getting rid of the worms required at least 100 hours of work. Mark Graves, senior forester for the City of Lawrence, said treating and removing bagworms cost the city $1,160 this summer, more than double the usual cost of $430. "I've done this for 20-plus years, and this year, in my memory, is the worst year I've ever seen for bagworms," he said. Graves said the city usually sprayed once, if at all, for the worms and typically spent about 20 hours of work to get rid of them. This year, he said, the city sprayed three times and spent 60 hours of labor. He said the bagworms were more prevalent this summer because of this summer's cool, wet weather. They hatched three times this summer. instead of the usual one or two times. This year's bagworms heavily invaded non-coniferous trees, such as crab apple and oak trees, which was abnormal. Lang said. "Normally that's a sign that this is out of control," he said. "I don't remember seeing an infestation area-wide like we've seen this year." Yet Lang said the University didn't spray any more than it did in the past, which has left some plants neglected and ravaged by the worms. "We're short of employees, like everybody is," he said. "I'm not complaining. We still tried to get out and do our regular coverage." He said the bagworm damage wasn't a direct effect from fewer employees, but that fewer employees could have contributed to the number of overlooked plants. Though the bagworms have stopped feeding for the year, some of the bags contain the remains of dead worms and others hold the eggs for next year's hatching. If the bags aren't physically removed and discarded — either in the trash or by incineration — the worms will emerge next June in full force. "I don't remember seeing an infestation area-wide like we've seen this year."

Nick Barr, Coppell, Texas, sophomore and member of the fraternity, said he knew what the bags held. He said the fraternity didn't spray for them and that he didn't think the fraternity had plans to remove them. The fraternity isn't alone in that aspect.

Males turn into clear-winged moths that mate with females in August. Adam Buhler/KANSAI HOW TO TREAT BAGWORMS - Purchase a ready-to-use spray found at any landscaping retail store. Graves said to look for spray with low LD50 numbers for a lower impact on the environment. - Hire an arbiter from a local lawn and tree care business to spray for you. Professional service usually requires two treatments each summer. - Physically remove the bags by hand. Either put the worms in a closed container and throw them away, or burn them. Check back at least once a week during the summer months to make sure you got all of the worms. - Place birdhouses next to the infected trees for a natural predator to help you get rid of the worms. index Adam Buhler/KANSAN Classifieds Crossword. 4A Opinion. ... 5A Sports. ... 1B Sudoku. ... 4A All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2009 The University Daily Kansan 'Wizard of Oz'turns 70 gets Blu-ray treatment The classic film will also be re-released in theaters for one night only Wednesday.

Associated Press Spotlight on Organizations BY LAURA DREES ldrees@kansan.com was the norm for many members. Three days a week, adiverse group meets in various places around the city for one common interest — learning ballroom and Salsa dancing skills from the University of Kansas Ballroom Dance Club. From junior high students to KU students to older Lawrence community members, dancers of all levels are welcome to participate. Brigitta Wade, Raytown, Mo. senior and president of the club, joined in September of 2008 after she heard about the group through a friend of a friend. For years, she had little time for anything besides her extensive architectural engineering courses, a demand she said "Ballroom dancers usually have a lot going on," Wade said. "My duties have sort of picked up since the end of August." Wade said there were usually a few more women than men in the group at the beginning of the year and a few more men than women at the end, but that this year they have an even breakdown between the sexes. Forty club members, from all levels of dance experience, grade levels, ages and majors, practice regularly. Any level of experience is welcome, because members learn two new dance steps each meeting that may be added onto what was learned in former lessons. Christie and Steve Curtis, the group's ballroom instructors since 2003, are former sport dance competitors. After 20 years of extensive experience and hopes of perhaps competing again someday, Christie said she still got excited about ballroom. "I really enjoy watching people who've never had any kind of dance get out on the floor and actually enjoy themselves," Christie said. "If we don't have fun then it's not worth it." Throughout the year, the club holds events such as a Halloween masquerade ball and a Valentine's Day dance in addition to smaller dances about once a month. The events allow for club members to get together outside of normal lessons and practice their newly learned steps. Dancers who Ballroom Dance Club are not club members are also given the opportunity to interact with the University ballroom and Salsa community. Wade said the Valentine's Day dance often grew to include more participants from outside the club. "We'll always have a couple of extra couples that are just walking by and decide to go dancing," Wade said. The clubs meets on Monday evenings for Beginner's Ballroom 2 lessons, Wednesdays for General Beginners' lessons and Thursdays for Salsa lessons.

These loans would be similar in terms to current gov- A bill set to go before the U.S. Senate this fall would be the largest policy overhaul in financial aid history and would be financed by eliminating the government program that pays interest on a students' loans while they are still in school.

Officials hope to begin offering loans under the new system by July of next year if the Senate approves the bill, but loans already taken out would be unaffected. NANCY PELOSI Speaker of the House "This bill will end the billions upon billions of dollars in unwarranted subsidies that we hand out to banks and financial institutions," President Barack Obama said in a statement on the bill. sidized Stafford loan program. Subsidized loans have deferred payment plans and are offered through private lenders, with the government guaranteeing these loans and paying the interest until the student graduates. Unsubsidized loans carry similar terms, but with interest accruing the minute they are taken out. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said in a conference call that The bill, called the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, would end the government's sub- the bill would save money for both taxpayers and students because the Direct Loan program was more efficient than the current system of subsidized loans. According to a report by the Congressional Budget Office, the bill could save taxpayers about $80 billion over the next decade. "Today we made the single largest investment in making college more affordable in the history of our nation, and it's the best investment we can make." Pelosi said. Brenda Maigaard, director of the University's Office of Student Financial Aid, said students would not notice much of a difference in the process of applying for and accepting loans under the system proposed in the bill. "The Federal Direct Loans process is seamless for both students and parents." Maigard said. "Once the student accepts the loan and completes the required Master Promissory Note and Loan Counseling for first-time borrowers, the funds are available within just a few days." About half of the savings under the bill, or $40 billion, would go towards strengthening the government's Pell Grant program. Pell Grants are government-funded grants for students who demonstrate financial need on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The bill would also designate about $30 billion in savings to fund other education projects and $10 billion to go towards reducing the government's general budget deficit. "It has been a very good day for students and families who are trying to figure out how to pay for college," said George Miller, chairman of the House "The larger grant amounts would help a select group of people more, but the loans would help a larger group of people a little less," Whaley said. "That's just the trade off that you have to make, and I'm personally for helping more people a little less." Committee on Education and Labor, in a conference call. he said he was unsure how the bill would directly benefit students who were dependent on loans and ineligible for Pell Grants. Anthony Whaley, Lawrence senior, said that during his time at the University he has received both Pell Grants and government loans. According to the University OSFA's most recent annual report, more than 8,500 students received subsidized student loans during the 2007 fiscal year. The total amount of these loans was more Whaley said he was glad the bill included increased funding to Pell Grants, which have helped him cover most of his educational expenses for the current year. But, "The Federal Direct Loans process is seamless for both students and parents." BRENDA MAIGAARD Director of the Office of Student Financial Aid than $38 million, making up about 40 percent of all student loan dollars. During this same period, only about 3,000 students received Pell Grants, totaling about $8 million. $1,000 unsubsidized loan he took out in 2005. Although the terms for the unsubsidized loans under the new system would be different than his loan from four years ago, the interest rates are similar and may give students a good idea about what to expect from these unsubsidized loans when they graduate. Whaley said he had accumulated about $200 in interest on a The bill was approved by the House on Sept. 17 with a vote WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE BILL If approved by the U.S. Senate this fall, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act would save taxpayers about $80 billion over the next decade. All of these savings would come from eliminating the government's subsidized Stafford loan program, which officials say is inefficient and costly to taxpayers and students alike. The savings from the bill would be reallocated as follows: $40 billion to be invested in the Pell Grant program: The maximum amount of a Pell Grant would increase from $5,350 to $5,500 next year and would increase according to national inflation beginning in 2011. $30 billion to be invested in general education funds: These funds would go to a number of programs that would assist public schools, community colleges, early-learning programs, and historically black colleges, among other things. of 263-171 and is expected to go before the Senate later this fall. However, there have been concerns from some politicians regarding the increased role of government in the new student-lending policy. Under the bill, private loan companies would still provide funds for student loans, but only after a competitive bidding process. $10 billion to be invested in reducing the government's general budget deficit. On the Web site of the House Committee on Education and Labor, director of Research and Outreach Betsy Kittredge said the bill would create a more efficient type of public-private partnership and would ensure that students received the cheapest loans with the best possible service. a government takeover, when the federal student loan programs are already a federal program, established and subsidized by the federal government." Kittredge said. Kittredge said that under the current system, about 60 percent of the money for government student loans was already financed by taxpayers. "There's simply no reason to keep pumping taxpayer dollars into a broken system when the federal government can provide the same low-cost federal loans more reliably for students and at a lower cost for taxpayers," Kittredge said.

EDITORIAL BOARD Support legislation to prevent climate change MARIAM SAIFAN STOP GLOBAL WARMING The issue of climate change can seem distant and far removed from the daily In an analysis recently released by "The Nature Conservancy," a self-described "leading conservation organization," new evidence suggests that by 2100, Kansas' average annual temperature will have increased by 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit. This jump represents the highest of any state in the country. Though nearly 90 years in the future, this could be devastating for a state so dependent on agriculture in its economy. According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, exports of agricultural products in Kansas were valued at more than $3.8 billion in 2007, and one in five Kansans WORK IN JOB related to agriculture and food production. to agriculture and food production. To curb the threat of climate change, this summer the House of Representatives passed legislation entitled the American Clean Energy & Security Act. This cap-and-trade bill aims to limit the amount of greenhouse gases (or carbon emissions) that industries emit. By placing an emission limit, and auctioning off permits that allow industries to emit the carbon, clearly Congress has taken a step in the right direction Despite the harm that climate change can do to this state, neither Kansas senators support the bill or any other type of climate change legislation. Senator Pat Roberts argued that rural communities and agricultural producers will be negatively impacted by the legislation. KANSAN'S OPINION said in a Senate Agricultural Cap and Trade hearing in July. Robert's argument is dependent on his belief that the three remaining oil refineries in Kansas will be closed because of the federal "cap" on carbon emissions. Roberts said the closed refineries will in turn indirectly cause gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas and fertilizer prices to "skyrocket." "This cap-and-tax legislation would penalize rural communities in Kansas and indirectly add costs to family budgets," Roberts The other Kansas senator, Sam Brownback, told The Wichita Eagle in August that the bill "has little chance of passing in the Senate." Like Roberts, Brownback cited the belief that rural communities would suffer under the new policies of the bill. Both Brownback and Roberts have stated their disagreement with the cap-and-trade bill, but neither has come up with a better plan for climate change and both have given the issue the cold shoulder. Roberts even lists on his official Web site that "until Congress finds a way to control the weather for the betterment of our farmers and ranchers, I will continue to fight for policies that provide producers with choices, a strong safely net, adequate risk management tools and open markets." With the future of Kansas suddenly looking bleak, we cannot afford for our senators to take a passive stance on the issue of climate change. If we do not want our state to suffer in the future, action needs to be taken now. Students and members of the Kansas community should contact their senators to work toward passing preventative climate change legislation. — Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT YOU CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE FUTURE OF KANSAS.

HUMOR Boss bashing in the digital age Last month, a group of five prison guards in New South Wales, Australia, were accused of misconduct for posting inflammatory messages about their boss on a closed Facebook group. Now, in an attempt to save their jobs, their union is taking them to court, and they're going to fight it all the way to the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. It's yet another instance of how technology can complicate just as much as it can facilitate. Things used to be much simpler before the advent of the Web. The guards say they were just "letting off steam." The case raises some important questions about the use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter when in comes to the workplace. Is badmouthing your boss on Facebook no different than "getting together in a pub ... and bagging the boss," as a representative for the guards claimed last week in an AP article by Rod McGuirk? Or is an employer within his or her bounds to fire somebody for posting negative comments in a public arena such as the Internet? Well, back in my day, we let off steam the old-fashioned way: by vandalizing the boss' car. (Editor's note: The Kansan does not endorse vandalism, nor does it endorse the use of the phrase UNDER OBSERVATION ALEX NICHOLS "back in my day.") It's not surprising that these prison guards felt the need to kick back. After all, they're a part of Australia's oldest and grandest tradition: the incarceration of criminals. It's got to be a tough job. Unless they work at a Koala Jail. Then it would be an awesome job. A Koala Jail would definitely be the most adorable jail in the world. (Sorry, Leavenworth!) But regardless of how cute the inmates are or how much eucalyptus is in their diets, it's still a workplace with standards of conduct for its employees. Whether or not it's within the prison's rights to fire the guards over something said outside of that workplace, the guards could have avoided being in that position by not posting the comments in the first place. if you wouldn't say it to your boss, don't say it in a publicly accessible and searchable forum with your name attached. That's the beauty of vandalism: It's totally anonymous! It's not just boss-bashing that can get toks in trouble online. Sometimes just leaking what the boss says off the record has consequences as well. Last week, after President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" for his jackassery at the VMAs, ABC reporter Terry Moran immediately posted the off-hand comment on his Twitter. The White House was not pleased — even though it might be the single most popular thing Obama has said all year — and Moran deleted the tweet. ABC News quickly issued an apology. There's something about these social-networking sites that turns off the part in our brain that makes us shut up. Sharing can quickly turn into over-sharing, and next thing you know the leader of the free world is upset with you. Nobody's safe; I can't even slash my editor's tires without somebody taking a snapshot and posting it online for the world to see. (Editor's note: I knew it!) Just because the Internet enables us to do something doesn't mean it's a good idea to do it. Some things are just better left in the pub. Nichols is a a Stilwell junior in creative writing. STUDENT LIFE New law may lift weight of student debt, bad credit College is a time for freedom and new and new adventures. For many students, finding an exciting new life usually requires money. A few too many nights out, some immature spending choices and one overpriced spring break trip to Cancun often makes for more credit card debt than most students can handle. The new Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act will soon prevent damaging decisions college students sometimes make. The act, signed by President Obama in May, is outlined on the White House's official Web site by the press secretary. With more than 80 percent of American households owning a credit card and 44 percent maintaining a balance on those credit cards, it's easy to understand how many will be affected by the new regulations. Some of the changes listed in the press release include banning unfair fee traps and unfair rent increases, writing contracts in plain language and increasing penalties for card issuers who do not comply with the new rules. The Credit CARD Act will have a large effect on college students. With most University students taking classes full-time and struggling to make ends meet, the temptation to use and abuse - a credit card is overwhelming. Caving to the friend and foe that is a credit card can leave students drowning in debt well after graduation. Not to mention the near impossibility of fixing a credit score after being massively in debt. It's a catch-22 for students who are often forced to pay for classes, rent, basic needs and perhaps a few indulgences, but are spending their 9 to 5 in a classroom making little - if any - money. So how will The Credit CARD Act be changing all of this? The new act won't be putting any TOPICS OF RELEVANCE RICHELLE BUSER PUSSR money in your pocket, but it may help you from devastating your financial future. According to University Parent Media, a publication for parents of college students, the act will prevent anyone under the age of 21 from signing up for a credit card without sending in a written submission that meets specific requirements. Universities will also be forced to disclose any marketing agreements they have made with specific credit card companies. Also, it's likely that students will need a parent to agree to a co-signer agreement before they can have one of those shiny plastic cards. According to an MNDaily, com interview, Justin Draeger, vice president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said the act will help to refine dangerous spending habits among students. He said it will also make credit cards less accessible to those who could benefit from using other resources. The Credit CARD Act further echoes a Wall Street Journal article reporting the average college graduate has $23,186 in debt. These new reforms could make it difficult for students to build good credit while in school, even though I know few students who are doing that without the help of mom or dad as a cosigner. So keep your spending in check, or the Credit CARD Act will do it for you. LETTER TO 'No Smoking'signs do little if University fails to enforce them LETTER TO THE EDITOR Despite signs clearly indicating "No Smoking" within 20 feet of University buildings, smokers continue to puff away close to the entrances and exits of dormitories and class buildings. There is even an ash tray on Hashinger Hall's front porch, definitely within the 20-foot area and practically endorsing violating the posted signs' warnings. Though the attempts to prevent cigarette-butt littering on the campus' part should be admired, it sends the wrong message when these trays are placed too close to the buildings. The University must crack down on this practice. Exercising the right to smoke is one matter; infringing on nonsmokers' rights to their health is quite another. Secondhand smoke aggravates asthma, causes allergies and increases the risk of developing lung cancer. Even minimum exposure (such as walking through smoke) can become dangerous if accrued over time. Nonsmoking students should have the right to enter the buildings housing their classes and beds without endangering themselves. At the very least, it should strive to reinforce its own proclaimed nonsmoking areas. After all, restaurants, hotels and other services are required to do the same. Anything less would be a disservice to the people who work and study here at the University of Kansas every day. Ideally, the University should become smoke-free. Why should any young person start accruing tar in their lungs because of the inconsideration of others? Blaise Marcoux is a sophomore from Rockport, Ind.

The ride was part of the prize Higginbotham got for winning a video competition put on by Red Bull. SUBARU RALLY TEAM UBA 199 TRIBUTE PASTRANA & 60 MILLED THUNDER FANS CENTERS minutes. The public chose ten finalists on the Red Bull Web site, and in May, Red Bull announced that Higginbotham's nearly two-minute video was the winner. Kayla Higginbotham, Overland Park junior, holds a poster autographed by rally car driver Travis Pastrana. Higginbotham won a contest sponsored by Red Bull by submitting a video containing of edited footage of Pastrana. The eight-minute rally car ride and opportunity to meet him were her only prizes, but Higginbotham said it was well worth it. "It was just like a day that never ended, and that I never wanted to end," she said. Travis Pastrana is an extreme sports star and stunt performer who has been racing motocross since the age of 4 and rally racing since 2003. His most spectacular crash was in 2005, when he rolled his Subaru rally car seven and a half times and walked away unhurt. "Are you alive? Are you alive? That was a hell of a ride!" he cried to his co-driver immediately afterwards in a video taken of the crash. Although Higginbotham said she had reason to feel concerned when she rode in the car with Pastrana on Friday, she didn't scream once. He noticed, and was disappointed. Higginbotham said he told her he didn't feel as though he did his job because she wasn't scared. Rally drivers compete in timed sprints on unpaved roads varying in terrain from smooth gravel to ice and snow. The roads are typically rural public roads that have been closed so drivers can drive at full speed. Higginbotham had experience editing highlight videos for her high school's sports teams, and said her goal was to become a sports video editor. "At first I think it was, 'Oh here's an opportunity,' she said. "It was "It was just like a day that never ended, and that I never wanted to end." a free contest, no money, and rarely does that ever happen. But the more I got into it and the KAYLA HIGGINBOTHAM Overland Park junior more I started doing it, the more passionate I got about it." Higginbotham said her participation in the contest started off as a simple, fun thing to do. She had only watched rally racing one or two times before, but said she was familiar with motocross because of its inclusion in the X-Games. She said she knew that Travis Pastrana was a rising star, but was not familiar with his work as a rally racer. Higginbotham entered the contest more than a year ago on the advice of her friend Natalie Cordray, a junior at Arizona State University and fellow Overland Park native, who won a Red Bull video contest in 2007 and was awarded a trip to Canada to snowboard with professional snowboarder Zach Leach. Cordray said she and Higginbotham had played sports together in their childhood and took a Radio and TV production class together in high school. She said their Red Bull contest wins helped bring them closer together. "We call each other Red Bull sisters," she said. "We both won these outrageous contests through Red Bull and got to experience the some of the craziest things we'll ever experience in our life. Colorado also provided her with valuable contacts. She said that there was a chance she might work with Pastrana on a new feature film produced in collaboration with Gregg Godfrey, a movie director who previously directed a movie with Pastrana called "199 Lives: The Travis Pastrana Story." Higginbotham said the trip to POLITICS Edited by Abby OIcese Clinton fundraiser under house arrest for bank fraud, identity theft Associated Press BY LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors have charged a wealthy fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other top Democrats in an alleged $292 million Ponzi scheme that spanned more than a decade, saying he used some of the proceeds to support election campaigns. In an indictment returned Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Hassan Nemaze is charged with bank fraud and aggravated identity theft. end of his decade of deception." "For more than 10 years, Hassan Nemazee projected the illusion of wealth, stealing more than $290 million so that he could lead a lavish lifestyle and play the part of heavyweight political fundraiser," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. "Today's indictment exposes the sheer brazenness of Nemazee's schemes and marks the He used some of the proceeds of the fraud to make donations to the election campaigns of federal, state and local candidates as well as to political action committees and charities, prosecutors said. They didn't name the candidates or groups. Nemazee's lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment Monday. The indictment boosts the allegations against the 59-year-old Manhattan resident, who was arrested in August on charges that he used forged documents to obtain a $74 million loan. Prosecutors now allege that he fraudulently obtained loans worth hundreds of millions of dollars from three banks between 1998 and this year. They said he used fake documents and signatures to show the banks that he had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of collateral. Prosecutors said Nemaze also used some of the money to buy property in Italy and to make monthly maintenance payments on properties in Manhattan and Katonah, N.Y. The government is seeking $292 million in forfeitures against Nemazee, including his interest in five properties, 16 corporate entities and a hedge fund, 14 securities accounts, 32 bank accounts, a 2008 Maserati Quattroporte automobile and a 2007 Cessna aircraft. Nemadea served as national finance chairman for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and later raised money for President Barack Obama after her primary defeat. He also was Sen. John Kerry's finance chair in New York for his 2004 bid for president. Nemasea is under house arrest as part of a $25 million bail agreement. If convicted, he could face 30 years in prison on each of three counts of bank fraud and a mandatory two-year prison term on the aggravated identity theft charge.

Kansas will play more difficult teams during its nonconference schedule in upcoming years. Weston White/KANSAN Kansas schedules for success BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com PAGE 1B The plan, at least to begin with, was pretty simple: play against winnable teams and allow the football program to develop after experiencing years of little success. Those games — against little-known programs such as jacksonville State, Southeastern Louisiana and Florida International — usually resulted in nothing more than a lopsided score and an early exit by much of the crowd. But as coach Mark Mangino and the Jayhawks continue to demonstrate progress on the football field, their schedule will continue to feature more t Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. recognizable programs. "We needed to give coach time to get the right kind of kids in here," Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins said. "You didn't want to send a team' down to Georgia Tech hypothetically and not give them a chance to win. I don't think that's smart." Pethaps more than any game on Kansas' upcoming schedules, the scheduled games against Georgia Tech represent a change in philosophy. The Yellow Jackets are competitive in the ACC, a major BCS conference, year after year, and they are the kind of team the Jayhawks haven't normally faced in recent years. Kansas plays host to Georgia Tech in 2010 before travelling to Atlanta in 2011. Kansas will play at Southern Mississippi in 2010 and will play home-and-home series with Rice and Northern Illinois in the future. "As coach Mangino has brought the program to a higher level year in and year out, we're more capable of taking on what would be perceived as some more difficult nonconference games," Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director, said. But there's more to the story. The Kansas football program was in shambles when Mangino took over in 2002. The mess wasn't much better on the administrative side when Perkins and his staff arrived in 2003. The scheduling situation lacked long-term foresight, which forced Kansas to scramble for opponents for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. "Typically in the football scheduling world, the schedules for most of the major schools are almost entirely done three four five three, four, five years in advance." Keating said. "Sometimes they're even out further than that." Now that Kansas has started to schedule its nonconference games further out — the Jayhawks have the 2010 schedule finished and are in comfortable situations with the 2011 and 2012 schedules — more recognizable programs will face the Jayhawks in upcoming years. "We needed to give coach time to get the right kind of kids in here."

COMMENTARY Tight ends the secret for tying loose ends BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Play after play I watch the Kansas offense line up in its spread formations, senior quarterback Todd Reesing lifts his knee, and everybody looks over to the sideline play-callers to give them a new play or the one already called. The team needs a hand signal to get a tight end in the game, and this is what I have been looking to the sideline for this season. The advantage of having a threat at tight end is what I believe the team has been missing on its three-and-out series and turnover-on-down drives. The size of a tight end is hard for the defense to defend in short-yardage situations. During Monday night's battle between New York and Dallas, I witnessed genius use of tight ends. New York split its two tight ends out wide in the end zone and used their size advantage against the much smaller cornerbacks, which resulted in first down after first down, and ultimately a victory for New York. I understand that Kansas' offense has adapted to its players and is loaded with talented receivers. Yet, at the same time, I know the advantages of having a tight end in the game. Too many times I have watched senior running back Jake Sharp and freshman running back Toben Opurum try to run off the tackle and get stopped by a defensive end that a tight end would have easily taken care of. Too many times I have seen a forced pass to a receiver who's short of the first down marker and without the strength that a tight end would have to get past the line. — first down Kansas. Reeing has yet to complete — or even attempt — a pass to a tight end this year. Our tight ends at the moment, sophomore Tim Biere and junior Bradley Dedeaux, are on track for a less-than-noteworthy season. Biere only recorded one catch for six yards in the first two games. It came from freshman quarterback Kale Pick on a second and five situation, and guess what happened Just two years ago, senior tight end Derek Fine was the third leading receiver in the same offense Kansas has now. Fine had 46 receptions and 394 yards receiving in 2007, averaging a little more than eight yards per catch. Granted he is a senior with ample playing experience and hands that were hard to match, but how else is Biere, who started last year and recorded six catches for 65 yards, supposed to grow if he has only played in two games and seen the ball once from a backup quarterback? That's not even mentioning Dedeaux whom I saw for three plays Saturday against Duke. Kansas could learn a lesson from the similarly uniformed New York Giants. Don't forget about your tight ends. The extended drives that we could see from third down catches by tight ends in the future might mean the difference between a victory and a loss.

NFL Redskins victory doesn't inspire pride for the fans LANDOVER, Md. — The fans booed another third-down failure. The field goal unit came on. The kick was good. The marching band dutifully played "Hail to the Redskins," as it did after every score. Few felt like singing along, even though the home team now had the lead. If there's such a thing as a demoralizing win, the Washington Redskins got one on Sunday. They couldn't even score a touchdown in a 9-7 win over the St. Louis Rams, a team that was supposed to be an early season pushover, and a popular veteran offensive lineman appears done for the season "We won in such an ugly fashion," cornerback DeAngego Hall said. "You don't even really take pride in the win." Faulty predictions part of the fun MORNING BREW Associated Press Thomas Gray provided the best college football analysis of any 18th century British poet when he coined the phrase "ignorance is bliss." Were Gray around today, he may have added "Raise your hand if you had Jacory Harris on your preseason Heisman watch list. Okay, now everybody who raised their hands, put them down again. You guys are all filthy liars. Seriously, your mothers would be ashamed." Mr. Gray, of course, would have seen the folly in such preseason prognostications. He'd have known better than to try and predict something as chaotic as college football. And, most importantly, he'd have realized that such unpredictability is what makes this time of year so much fun. A few weeks ago, Randy Shannon was on the proverbial hot seat. Two big wins later — thanks in large part to the play of the aforementioned Harris — and Miami finds itself bolting up the rankings. BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Although just settling in to his new digs in Ann Arbor, Rich Rodriguez found himself every bit as uncomfortable as Shannon. Coming off the worst season in Michigan football history, up to his neck in scandal and with no proven quarterback, Rodriguez needed something good to happen. Of course, Tate Forcier and a 3-0 start happened, and the maize and blue are no longer feeling, well, blue. In the Top 25, right next to Washington. The same Washington that didn't win a game last year, and just beat USC And so Michigan, once again, finds itself in the Top 25. — a loss that probably put an early to the Trojans' title hopes. But if misery indeed loves company, at least USC has that. Trojan fans can get together with Oklahoma supporters and reminisce about how awesome it was to be ranked in the top five and have a starting quarterback with two good shoulders. Those halcyon days of early September, when that other Big 12 school in Oklahoma was a championship contender, too. Coming off an apparently vindicating victory against Georgia, Oklahoma State seemed poised to break in to the nation's elite. Instead, Houston joined BYU, Boise State, Utah and TCU as this year's potential BCS buster. BYU — then the strongest contender among the group, by virtue of its defeating Oklahoma — has already dropped from that list, following a lopsided home loss to Florida State. Utah's gone too, the nation's longest winning streak snapped by Oregon. THE MORNING BREW Three weeks in, perhaps we ought to turn to another great college football analyst, Socrates, for advice. Perhaps true wisdom does indeed come from admitting a lack of knowledge. After all, it was only a short time ago that everyone thought Charlie Weis was an arrogant idiot. Well, maybe we do know that one thing for sure.

Manning threw two touchdown passes to take some sheen off the Dolphins' glitzy makeover under new owner Stephen Ross, and the Indianapolis Colts came from behind four times to win 27-23 Monday night. The Dolphins rolled out an orange carpet for the pregame arrival of Ross' celebrity partners. The crowd included Sterena and Venus Williams, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Buffett and Colts rooter Tiger Woods. But Manning was the big star. He had the ball for less than 15 minutes but threw touchdown passes of 80 yards to Dallas Clark and 48 yards to Pierre Garcon. "It was about being efficient when it counted, in the fourth quarter," Manning said. "That's really what the game's about." Manning finished 14 for 23 for 303 yards, and the Colts improved to 2-0. The Dolphins fell to 0-2 even though they had 239 yards rushing, including 107 with the wildcat. Indianapolis had the ball for only 14:53, the lowest time of possession for a winning team in the NFL since 1977. "It's really disheartening," Miami coach Tony Sparano said. "That's exactly the formula to beat that team." Indy trailed 10-7, 13-10 and 20-13, but each time pulled even. Down 23-20 after Miami scored with 3:50 left, the Colts rallied one more time with a big play by Garcon. "Pierre was patient," Manning said. "He was more talkative than he had been all game, saying, 'I can beat him. I can beat him.' Of course we didn't get many possessions, but he came up big when we really needed him." After completions of 15 and 17 yards, Manning hit Garcon with a short pass on the right side. Miami reached the Colts 30-yard line with 6 seconds left, but Chad Pennington's desperation pass was intercepted in the end zone by Antoine Bethea. Garcon cut to the middle, then broke back toward to the corner of the end zone to score. once and controlled the ball for a team-record 45 minutes. They had to wonder how they lost. The answer: Manning. He earned his 119th victory with the Colts, breaking the team record That was the Dolphins' lone turnover. They were 15 for 21 on third-down conversions, punted Miami's Ronnie Brown rushed for 136 yards, including 62 in the wildcat, taking a direct snap each time. Teammate Ricky Williams added 69 yards rushing. Manning took only three snaps in the third quarter. The Dolphins controlled the ball for nearly nine minutes on a 13-play, 80-yard as Johnny Unitas. He was a real winner." "I don't feel comfortable with these comparisons to Unitas," Manning said. "But I'm very proud to wear the same uniform "It was about being efficient when it counted, in the fourth quarter. That's really what the game's about." touchdown drive capped by Brown's 3-yard run. That put them ahead 20-13 early in the fourth quarter. for a quarterback he shared with Johnny Unitas. Indy quickly pulled even again. Manning hit Clark for 49 yards to set up a 15-yard scoring PEYTON MANNING Colts quarterback run by Donald Brown. kept the Dolphins from trying a game-winning kick in the final seconds. The Colts struck 12 seconds into the game when Manning threw deep to tight end Clark, who had slipped 5 yards behind linebacker Akin Ayodele. Clark broke a tackle by Gibril Wilson near midfield and sprinted to the end zone. Miami drove 51 yards and broke a 20-all tie with Dan Carpenter's 45-yard field goal with 3:50 left. He made two other field goals but also missed from 49, which Miami responded with a 75-yard drive to tie the score. Three wildcat plays netted 28 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown run by Ronnie Brown. After Carpenter kicked a field goal with 43 seconds left in the second quarter, a call overturned by a replay review allowed the Colts to kick a field goal on the final play of the half for a 13-all tie. Wilson intercepted Manning, but a review determined the pass instead was incomplete. Manning then hit Clark for 20 yards with two seconds left, and Adam Vinatieri kicked a 48-yard field goal.

LOUIS — St. Louis Rams off-ensive tackle Jason Smith, the second overall pick in this year's draft, sprained his left knee and will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's home game against Green Bay. An MRI exam revealed the extent of the injury, which coach Steve Spagnuolo said Monday would not require surgery. The Rams lost 9-7 at Washington on Sunday. Adam Goldberg finished the game at Smith's position and would likely replace him as the starter. Smith said he was hurt during the Rams' touchdown drive in the second quarter, although he stayed in for several more plays before leaving the game. "I don't remember whether it popped or not." Smith said. "In the heat of the battle, you don't really feel it, but I knew something wasn't right." Goldberg started six games at four offensive line positions last year and started at right tackle much of the preseason before Smith was elevated to first string. He has experience against the Packers after playing with the Vikings for three years. "The goal is just to play well when called upon," Goldberg said. "It's nothing I'm not used to" Center Jason Brown also has a knee sprain but Spagnuolo said Brown was day to day.

Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 --- SPORTS CLUB LACROSSE 3B Former player enjoys coaching Coach Mark Barrath balances fun, fitness in his second year BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com them two years ago. Men's club lacrosse coach Mark Barrath knows all about organizing practices. He participated in them two years ago. Barrath, St. Louis graduate student and second-year coach, was vice president of the University's club lacrosse team when he was an undergraduate. He graduated in 2007 with a degree in political science and returned to the sport in Fall 2008 in a different capacity. Barrath ALEXANDER COOK "I felt a strong desire to come back and continue working with the players," Barrath said. Barrath said one of the reasons he enjoyed coaching was because of the enthusiastic and dedicated club members. He said that members who joined typically wanted to play for the entire season because of the financial commitment. Dues for freshmen are $900 and dues for returning members are $700. Players must also pay for equipment and clothing. Barrath admitted that his age sometimes put him in a difficult position when he tried to exercise his authority. He said he toed the line between peer and leader by ensuring that practices were fun but still challenging enough to push the players As a coach, Barrath is also responsible for teaching new and developing players the fundamentals of lacrosse. to reach their potential. Two assistant coaches, Jay Vaglio and Jonathan Koopman, help coordinate conditioning and daily practices. The practices are designed to fatigue the players, but ultimately improve their fitness. "We do quick transitions between drills to keep players on their feet. We want them to be in "I felt a strong desire to come back and continue working with the players." shape," assistant coach Jay Vaglio said. Barrath said this approach Barrath and his assistants are also open to critique and concerns. When the need arises, the coaches hold small meetings where players can offer feedback or comments on aspects of practice, games or the team in general. MARK BARRATH Club lacrosse coach and this approach helped the two-hour practices run smoothly because the players kept their focus and left outside problems and issues at home. George Ressler, St. Louis senior and club lacrosse president, said he had confidence in the coaching staff. "Practices are well-mapped out," Ressler said. "There is a sense of practicality to them." The fall season is generally used as preparation for the main spring season. Barrath said he hoped the club team would have a good showing in February when it played strong competition such as Baylor, Texas A&M and USC at a tournament in Texas. Edited by Nick Gerik NFL Chiefs prepare to face Eagles, Vick 64 80 Kansas City defenders practice in advance of Michael Vick's return from NFL suspension Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is tackled by Oakland Raiders cornerback Hiram Eugene, left, and cornerback Tyvon Branch, back, during the third quarter on Sunday in Kansas City. Mo, the Raiders won the name 13-10. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As if they didn't have enough problems, the winless Kansas City Chiefs now must get ready for the possible return of the greatest running quarterback in NFL history and a slog through all four teams in the rugged NFC East. Michael Vick, finally eligible to play after serving prison time and a league suspension for his role in a dogfighting ring, might be facing them across the line of scrimmage in Philadelphia on Sunday. The Chiefs are at least glad they've been practicing against the wildcat offense the past two weeks, though it was not a factor in losses to Baltimore and Oakland. "It's something we're going to prepare for, but it's like having a good running back who can throw back there," Chiefs safety Jon McGraw said. "Most teams get in wildcat formation, you think, 'Well, OK, here comes a run play.' But when Vick is back there, it adds that extra element, that he can still throw the ball. With Vick in there, we'll have to play it honest." Kevin Kolb, who threw two touchdown passes in Sunday's 48-22 loss to New Orleans, will start on Sunday if McNabb can't. Eagles coach Andy Reid said if McNabb is out again this week, the backup will be either Jeff Garcia — or Vick. "He's an exciting player to watch," McGraw said. "I don't know of anybody who doesn't enjoy watching Michael Vick play." Linebacker Derrick Johnson will not be surprised to see Vick in the wildcat Sunday. "You've got to have somebody watch him at all times because he's probably the most talented guy in the league," Johnson said. "He's not a quarterback who's just going to stand in there. You've got to put a wrinkle or two in there because he has a wrinkle or two." Johnson also does not believe the long layoff has robbed Vick of his quickness. "He still has it," he said. "And he's going to let it out, too, whenever he gets the chance. We'll have to be ready for whatever they throw." Whether Vick plays or not, the Eagles will be facing a defense that can't find a way to win. "The one that played yesterday," said defensive end Glenn Dorsey. "We've just got to finish strong. When we've really got to have it, we've got to get it. We played all right against Oakland but came up short in the end. That's what's so frustrating." In their season opener at Baltimore, the Chiefs gave up 501 yards and lost. On Sunday, they held Oakland to 166 yards and lost again. Frustrating hardly tells the story for the Chiefs in posting their 25th loss in 27 games. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell played miserably all day until the final 69-yard drive, capped by Darren McFadden's 5-yard touchdown run with 1:07 left. So which is the real Chiefs defense? Time of possession, usually "A play here and a play there at certain times in a game," Dorsey said. "You go back and look at it and think, 'If I'd done this, we would have won.' But we were right there. We're showing improvement and we believe in each other. We're going to get it turned around." another reliable indicator of who won and lost, also leaned heavily in Kansas City's favor. The Chiefs held the ball for 38 minutes, 39 seconds. The Raiders had it 21 minutes, 21 seconds. Nine penalties also aided the Raiders, as did the two interceptions Matt Cassel threw in his Chiefs' debut. "We played hard. But a loss is a loss," said Dorsey. "But I see which way we're going. We're getting better every week. It's frustrating, but we're heading in the right direction."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 SPORTS 5B NFL Sanchez, Jets send message in game ASSOCIATED PRESS 9 ASSOCIATED PRESS New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees reacts as he runs off the field after an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday in Philadelphia. New Orleans won 48-22. Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets sent quite the message to the New England Patriots. The rest of the NIL list. The rest of the NFL, too. The rookie quarterback came out throwing in the second half after two quiet quarters Sunday, connecting with Dustin Keller on the go-ahead touchdown that gave the lets a 16-9 victory over Tom Brady and the Patriots. The Jets' gritty team effort, which backed up some pre-game boasting from coach Rex Ryan, stood in contrast to another dazzling individual performance by the Saints' Drew Brees, who tossed three more touchdown passes in a 48-22 rout of the Philadelphia Eagles. Brees threw six TD passes last week as the Saints pounded Detroit, and seemed to pick apart Philadelphia's secondary just as easily. He completed 25 of 34 passes for 311 yards and one interception, with Marques Colston grabbing eight passes for 98 yards and two of the scores. The Eagles (1-1) were without Donovan McNabb, who missed the game with a cracked rib. Kevin Kolb started in his place and threw for 391 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw three interceptions, including one that was returned 71 yards by DeSean Jackson for a touchdown. Promises? Ryan sure knows something about that. "You like starting 2-0," Saints coach Sean Payton said flatly, "but it doesn't promise you anything." The outspoken Jets coach reiterated his offseason promise this week that he didn't come to "kiss Bill Belichick's rings," and even sent a voicemail to season ticket holders urging them to be loud Sunday. They responded so forcefully that Brady was forced into consecutive delay of game penalties in the third quarter. The victory was the first for the Jets (2-0) over Brady at home, and the first over the Patriots (1-1) at the Meadowlands since 2000. The Patriots managed only three field goals from Stephen Gostkowski a week after the Jets' defense held the high-scoring Houston Texans without an offensive touchdown in a 24-7 win. "That's a statement not just to us," cornerback Darrelle Revis said, "but to the league that every week we're going to come out here and try to get a shutout." "We're not really firing on all cylinders right now," Brady said. "To not get the ball in the end zone is unacceptable." Brady got the ball back at the Patriots 10 with 1:48 left. The Jets defense stepped up one more time, with Dwight Lowery knocking away a pass to Joey Galloway on fourth down in the closing minutes. GIANTS 33, COWBOYS 31 In Arlington, Texas, Lawrence Tynes kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired and the Giants beat the turnover-prone Cowboys, ruining the debut of their rival's $1.15 billion stadium. The Cowboys (1-1) went ahead 31-30 on a touchdown run by Felix Jones with 3:40 left. It was the seventh lead change of a game in which neither team led by more than six points and it didn't last. Eli Manning drove New York 56 yards in seven plays. He got out of a first-and-20 on his 15 to start it and converted two third downs, including one on a tipped pass caught by Mario Manningham. New York (2-0) scored three touchdowns off interceptions of Tony Romo and won despite losing defensive end justin Tuck to a shoulder injury and receiver Domenik Hixon to a sprained knee. VIKINGS 27, LIONS 13 In Detroit, Brett Favre set an NFL record with his 271st straight start in the regular season, then threw two touchdown passes to help beat the Lions. Adrian Peterson's 27-yard TD run midway through the third quarter gave Minnesota (2-0) its first lead. He finished with 92 yards rushing, handing Detroit (0-2) its 19th straight loss to tie the second-longest skid in NFL history. 49ERS 23, SEAHAWKS 10 At San Francisco, Frank Gore had touchdown runs of 79 and a career-best 80 yards, and finished with 207 yards on 16 carries to lead the 49ers. Gore nearly reached his franchise mark of 212 yards set in 2006 before leaving in the fourth quarter with a sprained right ankle. He's the second player in NFL history to have two TD runs of 79 or more yards in the same game, joining Barry Sanders, who did it Oct. 12, 1997. Seattle (1-1) lost quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to a rib injury just before halftime. He didn't return after completing 10 of 18 passes for 97 yards against the 49ers (2-0). RAVENS 31 CHARGERS 26 At San Diego, Ray Lewis stopped Darren Sproles on fourth-and-2 at the Ravens 15 with only 33 seconds left, spoiling a monster afternoon by San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers He threw for a career-high 436 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers (1-1). Joe Flacco threw two TD passes for the Ravens (2-0), and Willis McGahee ran for two more. BRONCOS 27, BROWNS 6 At Denver, Elvis Dumervil tied a Broncos record with four sacks and linebacker Andrea Davis had 10 tackles against his former team. After beating Cincinnati last week on Brandon Stokley's 87-yard touchdown catch with 11 seconds left, Denver is 2-0 under new coach Josh McDaniels, who worked with Browns coach Eric Mangini in New England. Mangini's new team is 0-2. At Chicago, Jay Cutler came through with a big pass to Devin Hester on third down, and Robbie Gould booted a 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to lift the Bears. BEARS 17, STEELERS 14 Cutler finished with 236 yards and two touchdowns against Pittsburgh (1-1), and didn't throw an interception after being picked off a career-high four times last week against Green Bay. Ben Roethlisberger three for 212 yards against the Bears (1-1) ran out of time at the Cincinnati 10 yard line. The Packers (1-1) kicked a late field goal and recovered an onside kick, and Aaron Rodgers marched them to the Bengals 10 before a false start call with two seconds left ended the game. Chad Ochocinco delivered on his promise to perform a Lambeau Leap when he caught a 13-yard TD pass from Carson Palmer in the third quarter. The Bengals (1-1) also got five sacks from Antwan Odom and 141 yards rushing from Cedric Benson. TEXANS 34, TITANS 31 At Nashville, Tenn., Matt Schaub threw for 357 yards and four touchdowns, and Kris Brown kicked a 23-yard field goal in the closing minutes to ruin Tennessee's home opener. The Texans (1-1) won their first game in the month of September since 2007, while the Titans (0-2) are skidding a different direction after starting 10-0 last season. The Texans' Chris Johnson ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns. At Atlanta, Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes in the first half and Chris Houston stopped a Jake Delhomme-led rally at the end, intercepting a pass at the Falcons 4 to preserve the win. FALCONS 28, PANTHERS 20 Delhomme accounted for 11 turnovers his two previous games. He was better against the Falcons (2-0), throwing for 308 yards and a touchdown, but Carolina (0-2) still lost. BENGALS 31, PACKERS 24 BILLS 33, BUCCANEERS 20 At Orchard Park, N.Y., Donte Whitner returned an interception 76 yards for a touchdown, and Terrell Owens scored on a 43-yard catch in his home debut for the Bills. Buffalo (1-1) ended a five-game home losing streak. The Buccaneers (0-2) have lost six straight and continue to struggle on defense after allowing 438 yards. REDSKINS 9, RAMS 7 At Landover, Md., Shaun Suisham kicked field goals of 21, 28 and 23 yards as the Redskins had four drives of more than 60 yards that faltered inside the 10. Washington (1-1) put the game away with a 78-yard drive that ended with a failed fourth-and-1 from the 2 with less than 2 minutes to play, leaving the Rams (0-2) with too far to go. RAIDERS 13, CHIEFS 10 At Kansas City, Mo., Darren McFadden answered Kansas City's go-ahead touchdown with just over a minute left, lifting the Raiders to a lackluster win. Matt Cassel, making his Chiefs debut, hit Dwayne Bowe with a 29-yard scoring strike for a 10-6 lead with 2.38 left. But the Raiders (1-1) drove 69 yards to hand KC its second straight loss under first-year head coach Todd Haley. CARDINALS 31, JAGUARS 17 At Jacksonville, Fla., Kurt Warner completed his first 15 passes and broke the NFLs single-game record for completion percentage for the Cardinals. The only good news for the Jaguars (0-2) was that hardly anyone in Jacksonville saw it. The game was blacked out on local television, and the stands were about half full. With a big lead and the NFL record in hand, Warner headed to the bench late in the third quarter for the Cardinals (1-1). He finished 24 of 26 for 243 yards with two touchdowns. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) has played against Oregon, UCLA and TCU. The Sooners lost to BYU earlier this season and will play Miami on Saturday. "Our people want to see these kinds of games," Stoops said. "It's challenging for our players. I've always felt it gets our players' attention early and that we need to be prepared early to play. Hopefully it gives you big challenges early that can help you later." Although Keating said the Jayhawks would continue to add attractive nonconference games as the program developed, he also warned that fully-loaded nonconference schedules aren't necessarily the most effective formula for continuing success. Still, both Keating and Perkins acknowledged the benefits that come from facing better competition. They said the opportunity to play a competitive schedule could generate more fan excitement and help prepare a team for the grind of the Big 12 conference. MLB And scheduling can also affect the area that serves as the backbone of any successful program. "It it helps in your recruiting," Perkins said. "Kids want to play against the best. If I'm a great football player, I want to play against the very best players that I can play against." 62 Edited by Nick Gerik ASSOCIATED PRESS Seattle Mariners' Ken Griffey Jr. follows through on a three-run home run off New York Yankees' Joba Chamberlain in the second inning of a baseball game Sunday in Seattle. Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and home plate umpire Chuck Merriwether look on. Yankees must win for a playoff spot ASSOCIATED PRESS After stumbling twice in Seattle, look where New York is with two weeks left in the season: one win from clinching a postseason spot. SEATTLE — Joe Girardi has been insisting his Yankees will need to go out and earn their playoff spot in the final two weeks of the regular season. The Yankees' next chance to wrap up the long-expected playoff ticket comes Monday night against the Los Angeles Angels. smooth-four runs with a double and three-run homer, and the Mariners put the Yankees' postseason party on hold with a 7-1 win on Sunday, taking two of three in the series. "We've run into a bump and we've got to straighten it out." The Yankees can secure their 14th playoff berth in 15 years with a victory at the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night or a Texas loss at Oakland. The Yankees lead the AL East by five games over Boston with 12 to play. "These are important games this week. They are important at any point." Girardi said. "As I said all along, I think this will go right down to the end and nobody is going to hand you the thing." JOE GIRARDI Yankees manager Seeing Andy Pettitte throw on Monday will be an important step in the postseason preparations for the Yankees. He was scratched from his last start with a tired pitching shoulder and the Yankees hope his final couple of starts before the playoffs show that their most experienced pitcher is prepared for postseason pressure. "Our guys are frustrated that we aren't winning more games, but everything has went really, really well the second half," Girardi said. "We've run into a bump and we've got to straighten it out." One of New York's biggest remaining playoff questions only became more vexing on Sunday when Joba Chamberlain struggled from the start and barely made it through three innings. Chamberlain (8-6) gave up (8-6) gave up seven runs and six hits, including the double and homer by Griffey, making him the 405th pitcher to surrender a long ball to the aging Mariners' star. Girardi said after the game that he expects Chamberlain to be the Yankees' No. 4 starter in the playoffs, but needs to get the burly right-hander back on track before October arrives. "I let my teammates down. It was pretty much embarrassing what I did, not being able to pick my team up and get out of here with a series win," Chamberlain said. Chamberlain gave up consecutive two-out doubles in the first to Jose Lopez and Griffey, then allowed a dribbling grounder to center by Adrian Beltre to score Griffey for a 2-0 Seattle lead. At Green Bay, Wis., the Bengals nearly blew another lead in the final minute, before the Packers "When (Griffey) hits a ball like he did today, you don't see age," Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said. "That's a beautiful swing."

LOUIS — St. Louis will host the NCAA men's basketball Midwest Regional in 2012, and Kansas City will be the site of first- and second-round men's games in 2013, civic leaders and the NCAA said Monday. The NCAA announced tournament sites for men's games from 2011 through 2013. The Midwest Regional in 2012 will be March 23 and March 25 at the Edward Jones Dome. The 2013 first- and second-round games in Kansas City will be at the Sprint Center March 22 and March 24. Both Missouri cities have long histories hosting NCAA basketball events. St. Louis has hosted men's tournament events 11 times, while Kansas City has 28 times. St. Louis was the site of the men's Final Four in 1973, 1978 and 2005, and has hosted the NCAA wrestling championship several times — and will do so again in 2012. In April, the city hosted the Women's Final Four, with undefeated Connecticut beating Louisville 76-54 in the championship game. St. Louis was also the site of the 2001 Women's Final Four. The men's regional was there in 2007 and will return in March. Drop and give me 44 Kansas City has an even richer history when it comes to men's basketball events. The city has hosted 10 Final Fours and hosted a regional last season.

Weston White/KANSAN Rams miss another chance at victory NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams scored their first points and got their first sack of the season against the Washington Redskins. They're still waiting for their first victory, heading into the home opener against the Packers. New coach Steve Spagnuolo realizes that despite making progress, it's a bottom line business for a franchise that has dropped 12 in a row. "There are no moral victories," Spagnuolo said he told his players Monday. "We should be upset that we lost. I'm disappointed but not discouraged." He also told them not to expect incremental improvement every week as a matter of course. "Be careful not to think just because it was 28-0 a week ago and this week it was a two-point deficit that it's automatic," Spagnuolo said. "It doesn't happen that way. Every week is a new week and we've got a new challenge this week with Green Bay." The offense had three drives that lasted 10 or more plays and was 6 for 12 on third down after going 2 for 12 in the opener. Marc Bulgerhit Laurent Robinson for a 2-yard touch. gaining 104 yards on 17 carries. The defense was scrappy and resilient, and allowed only three field goals. James Hall just missed dropping Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell for a safety early in the fourth quarter. "There are no moral victories. We should be upset that we lost. I'm disappointed but not discouraged." STEVE SPAGNUOLO Rams coach down pass on a fade route that put St. Louis ahead 7-6 late in the second quarter. The running game got into gear with Steven Jackson But enough of that. Players are tired of walking off the field dejected. "Nobody in the locker room is really in the mood to try to find a light in the loss," said offensive lineman Adam Goldberg, whil'll likely start in place of Jason Smith this week. "It's time to just tighten things up, do what we need to do, and go out and get a W." The margin for error is slim, with wide receiver Donnie Avery's lost fumble at the Washington 5 early in the fourth quarter costing the Rams dearly. Spagnuolo decided to play it safe and sit on a 7-6 lead at the end of the first half, even though the Rams were at their 30 with 1:12 to go and three timeouts remaining. He declined to second-guess that decision. St. Louis had third-and-2 at the Washington 41 with 9:25 to play and trailing 9-7, a critical juncture. Instead of handing it twice to the 235-pound jackson running behind the upgraded offensive line, Bulger threw incomplete over the middle on third down and the Rams lined up in a fake punt formation on fourth down that failed to draw the Redskins offsides. After a 5 yard delay of game call, Donnie Jones punted it into the end zone. The Rams got one more chance, starting at their own 4 with 1:55 to go, and went four-and-out. 10 STRICKLAND Looking for something to do? the guide Meet your new student entertainment search engine.

Grant to start shared database Before this grant, sharing and processing of the collective data Leonard Kristalka, director of the Biodiversity Institute in Dyche Hall, said the cybercommons would have a profound impact on the way research data was handled and what can be done with it. The information gathered in research at all four schools will be run through several steps of analysis. This analysis will allow scientists to study ecological trends and predict their outcomes. This information could be about the spread of animals, insects or diseases. It could also be the impact of climate change. red Johnson, professor emeritus of French and Italian, points out the symbolism in the architecture of Dyche Hall. The building was part of his Autumnal Equinox Starlight Walking Tour of Mount Oread, which he leads every year. The tour featured information about the placement of building relative to the positions of stars and the significance of their structures. BY ZACH WHITE white@kansan.com On Friday morning more than thirty people gathered in the commons at Spooner Hall to watch the announcement of a $6 million project the University of Kansas will be participating in the next three years. The crowd was made up of faculty and students from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.), who helped bring the grant to Kansas. The grant will be split between the ecology and evolutionary biology departments of the University of Kansas, Kansas State university, the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. It will fund the creation of a "cybercommons," a collective computer system used to process and provide data to researchers from all four schools in real time. SEEGRANT ON PAGE 3A THE FIRE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX Andrew Hoxey/KANSAN Toursheds light on campus Professor reveals campus connection with astronomy BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com The dark and quiet sidewalks on campus that see so much foot action in daylight are empty. The air is cold and crisp. It's 5 a.m. on Tuesday and the intersection of 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard, which would normally be empty, is crowded with more than a dozen people waiting to take part in the autumn equinox starlight walking tour of Mount Oread led by KU professor Ted Johnson. Professor Emeritus in French and Italian, Johnson leads an annual tour on the autumn equinox to educate students and anyone willing to brave the early hours about how and why certain campus buildings are constructed in relation to cardinal directions, iconography and astronomy. "It's fun to walk about and see how these buildings are set down and how they do relate to the North Star and so forth," Johnson said. A few of the buildings that were constructed with Greek and Roman influences, such as the tower on Dyche hall, the north side of Fraser Hall and the north entrance to Watson Library, all align with Polaris, the North Star. Johnson said like Ancient Egypt did with the pyramids and the Sphinx, that some campus buildings are also aligned with stars. "It's always going to be lined up." Johnson said, standing on a manhole west of Dyche Hall. According to Johnson, the North Star will always appear above the tower when standing at this campus location. "These kind of lineups are ones that you find everywhere in ancient Karnak and France." everywhere in the United States and France. Johnson also made other observations about campus buildings. At Stauffer-Flint Hall, he noted the bisected circle above the east entrance and asked for opinions from the group about what that symbolism could mean. A range of ideas came forth, including a representation of the yin and the yang, a closed eye and the cycle of the day split in half with day and night represented. The subject of the tour is not so visible in the everyday hustle of campus life, but it reveals campus' hidden mysteries. "I like seeing the symbolism and every thing" Chris Billinger, Wakenney senior, said of the tour. "I'm an engineering student so this is very different from what I'm normally exposed to, so I like to kind of expand my horizons a little." Jenny Curatola, Lansing freshman, is a student of Johnson's who came to experience the tour. "It was worth it," Curatola said. "Some of the stuff was a bit of a review, like we already talked about the Natural History Museum, but I never get tired of hearing him." Johnson said he enjoyed guiding the tour because he saw things a student wouldn't see every day in the daily grind of being a student. "The main thing is to get people to have a look at the campus in a way that is not just simply be busy going to and from classes but to think about the University in a larger way," Johnson said. Professor Johnson also gives a longer tour on Stop Day that covers more ground on campus. - Edited by Amanda Thompson CAMPUS First deadline approaches for online alcohol course BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com bsayers@kansan.com More than 1,500 students still need to complete the first part of the newly required online alcohol education course.

Families of some of the U.S. victims of the 1988 Pan Am attack have said they were revolted by the bomber's release. The decision to free the former Libyan intelligence agent also was sharply criticized by President Barack Obama, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, FBI director Robert Mueller, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. 3.

The cybercommons funded by this grant should help make the process easier and more capable. The cybercommons, because it is Web-based, will make the information available to schools across the country. "This opens up a terrific opportunity for reaching many more schools." Krishtalka said, "both rural K-through-12 all the way to universities in major cities." The grant was provided through the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, which is a program of the National Science Foundation. The program was started in 1979 to help research universities remain competitive with those that generally receive more funding like those in California and Massachusetts. Kristin Bowman-James, project director for EPSCoR in Kansas, said this particular grant required the cooperation of two states to share and collaborate on research. She said the decision of who to work with was easy. "Because of the strong research here and in Oklahoma for ecological forecasting and because this type of research uses large databases it was a no-brainer to link these schools," Bowman-James said. The use of this system goes beyond the study of local plains. Josh Campbell, graduate research assistant at the Kansas Biological Survey, said he planned on using his experience with the project in other countries after he finished his degree. "I'd like to take this same concept and apply it to humanitarian affairs," Campbell said. "Bring together different non-governmental organizations and relief agencies using the same set of technologies." The grant will also create positions for more graduate students within the Biodiversity Institute.

BY CATHERINE E. Investigators look into Kahlo claim Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Mexican federal prosecutors said Tuesday they are investigating a claim that more than 1,000 items attributed to artist Frida Kahlo were forged. The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Trust filed a complaint saying signed paintings, notes and drawings featured in two recent art history books are fake, the Attorney General's Office said. "We must stop the commercialization of false works," said Hilda Trujillo, director of the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Museums. The works in question come from a private collection and appear in two books, "Finding Frida Kahlo" and "The Labyrinth of Frida Kahlo: Death, Pain and Ambivalence." Kahlo, who died in 1954, was known for her tortured self-portraits and a tumultuous relationship with Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, who she married. - Katharine Myers at Princeton - Architectural Press, the publisher of "Finding Frida Kahlo," said it plans to keep selling the book. - "In the book, we state that the REFRESHINGLY INDEPENDENT 25th ANNUAL MUSIC FEST from $199 T&S Steamboat NEW YORK dp Jan 4-9, 2010 www.BigSkiTrip.com 1-888-754-8447 Members of the trust and some art history scholars hope the publishers will take the books off the market, saying at a news conference in Mexico City that the consequences could be severe if the books keep being sold. pieces have not been 100 percent authenticated, that it's still being researched," Myers said. "This will infect all the studies of Frida Kahlo with a virus, with bad, inaccurate information," said James Oles, an assistant professor at Wellesley College who has joined with other art historians in criticizing the publications. Oles said items in the collection include significant spelling errors, low-quality paintings and other suspicious details. The owners of the art, according to Oles, say the collection came from five boxes that Kahlo gave to a carpenter. "What woman signs her recipes? No one, unless they want to sell them," he said. ALCOHOL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Students who have not taken the course said they have found numerous reasons for putting it off. Paul Brown, Overland Park freshman, said he had already been reprimanded for drinking on campus and hoped the course would teach him the penalties for violating alcohol policies on campus. He said he had not yet completed the course because he had been busy with class work. "I just haven't had time between class and other things to do it," Brown said. "I'm hoping to get to it soon." Marc Nunes, Chicago freshman, said most students he knew had not taken the course yet because they had heard the course was long and contained mostly common knowledge. "We are already aware of this type of information, but we choose to keep drinking anyway," Nunes said. because everyone I know has just went down and clicked answers without even reading the questions because it was just so long." Meyer said. Students will be able to begin the second portion of the course 30 days after they complete the first part. All students are required to complete the second portion of the course by Nov.2. Angela Meyer, Kansas City, Mo, freshman, said she had already completed the first part of the course but said she didn't learn anything significant. Meyer said she didn't expect the University to learn much from the feedback they would receive from the course, either. during the spring semester.

POLITICS CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE — Edited by Samantha Foster Clinton calls for sustainability efforts President Barack Obama is pictured with former President Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual meeting in New York Tuesday. This year's conference is the first under a Democratic president ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton opened his annual summit on pressing global issues with a call for attendees to support political and economic efforts toward climate sustainability. The fifth annual Clinton Global Initiative started Tuesday. The gathering of world leaders and business executives, celebrities and activists seeks solutions to the world's most pressing issues, like climate change and poverty. But this year's conference is taking place under the cloud of another massive problem — a global economic downturn. Clinton and the speakers at the opening plenary session emphasized the economic benefits of sustainability efforts, that it was important to refute the argument that trying to green the world's economies would be fiscally detrimental to them. "If you have political leadership and business leadership committed to sustainability, the rest of us need to support them," Clinton said. "The best thing we can do is to try to help support this movement by proving that it is good economics." the per capita income there, which she said was about $13,500. "I if I were an American congressman, I'd be embarrassed that Chile could insure everybody and I couldn't," he said. "I think it's important to know what all these people who are criticizing the president are defending." While the conference covers global issues, American political issues did make an appearance. After Chilean President Michelle Bachelet spoke about steps her country was taking to deal with the downturn, including health care efforts, Clinton asked her about This year's conference is the first to be held under a Democratic administration, and Clinton had warm words for President Barack Obama. "I think it is worth reminding all of you that our president started his career not in politics, but as an NGO operator." But Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, DMont., left intact a $4 billion-a-year levy on the medical devices industry — keeping the controversy alive. The industry makes some 80,000 different products from heart valves to imaging machines to tongue depressors. The Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday such industry fees could eventually raise insurance premiums by roughly 1 percent. Amid Republican ridicule, a Democratic chairman backed down Tuesday and exempted consumer items of $100 or less — from condoms to contact lenses — from a proposed tax on medical device manufacturers. It would help pay for health care coverage for the uninsured in comprehensive legislation. NATIONAL Democrats back down on medical supply tax Baucus' last-minute switch came as his committee considers sweeping legislation to remake the health care system. It means that contact lens solution, scented maxipads and home pregnancy tests — among many other items — will not be taxed. WASHINGTON — They were calling it the tax on Q-tips.

Mass transit systems have seen greater police presence since the government issued terrorism warnings for high-profile places. BY DEVLIN BARRETT AND TOM HAYS Associated Press Associated Press NEW YORK — The government expanded a terrorism warning from transit systems to U.S. stadiums, hotels and entertainment complexes as investigators searched for more suspects Tuesday in a possible al-Qaida plot to set off hydrogen-peroxide bombs hidden in backpacks. Police bolstered their presence at high-profile locations. Extra officers with bulletproof vests, rifles and dogs were assigned to spots such as Grand Central Terminal in New York. Plainclothes officers handed out fliers at a nearby hotel with a warning in large block letters: "If you suspect terrorism, call the NYPD." The warnings come amid an investigation centering on Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Denver airport shuttle driver who authorities say received al-Qaida explosives training in Pakistan and was found entering New York City two weeks ago with bomb-making instructions on his computer. Zazi's arrest in Colorado last week touched off the most intense flurry of government terror warnings and advisories to come to light since President Barack Obama took office. Though Zazi is charged only with lying to the government, law enforcement officials said he may have been plotting with others to detonate backpack bombs on New York trains in a scheme similar to the attacks on the London subway and Madrid's rail system. Backpacks and cell phones were seized in raids on apartments Zazi visited in New York. "It's not totally clear to us at this point what it is they had in mind, though I think it is clear that something very serious and something very organized was under way," Attorney General Eric Holder told CBS. Two law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the investigation told The Associated Press that more than a half-dozen people being scrutinized in the alleged plot. The FBI said "several individuals in the United States, Pakistan and elsewhere" are being investigated. "There's a lot more work to be done," said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, cautioning that the probe was still in its early stages. In two bulletins sent to police departments Monday and obtained by the AP, federal counterterrorism officials urged law enforcement and private companies to be vigilant at stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels. CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS Police warn townspeople after finding family dead SOCIAL POLICE BY JOHN O'CONNOR Associated Press BEASON, III. — A couple and three of their children were found brutally slain inside their home in this tiny central Illinois farming community, and authorities warned residents Tuesday to lock their doors at night while investigators try to identify possible suspects. Authorities discovered the bodies Monday afternoon after responding to a 911 call about possible shots fired at the address, Logan County Sheriff Steven Nichols said at a news conference. Logan County sheriff's department deputies stand outside a beacon, ill., home on Tuesday. Five members of a family were found dead in the house Monday afternoon. A three-year-old girl survived the attack and was taken to a hospital in Peoria, he said. The girl's grandmother identified her as the couple's daughter, Tabitha Gee. Nichols declined to say why his office didn't release information about the slayings until Tuesday morning. He said detectives were trying to identify possible suspects, and that those responsible for the killings should be considered "armed and dangerous." Nichols warned area residents to lock their doors at night as a precaution. The slayings, which Nichols described as a "brutal homicide against an entire family", occurred at the family's ranch-style home in Beason, a farming community of a few hundred residents about 140 miles southwest of Chicago. Nichols identified the victims and gave their approximate ages: Raymond "Rick" Gee, 46; Ruth Gee, 39; Justina Constant, 16; Dillen Constant, 14; and Austin Gee, 11. Nichols declined to provide details about the crime scene or the suspected cause of death, but he said investigators would begin doing autopsies on Tuesday. He did not provide details about the girl who survived. The family was described as quiet and well-liked by townspeople and relatives. "They were very quiet and very kind and never had a bad word to say about anybody," said Ruth Gee's mother, Francis Constant, who lives in nearby Lincoln. Raymond Gee hustled for work in construction and as a handyman while his wife, a stay-at-home mom, helped out whenever she could, Constant said. The couple faced their share of hardships, including having an 11-year-old daughter who suffered a brain injury so severe she must live at a special facility in Peoria. She said her son-in-law also had an adult daughter who did not live at the couple's home. The couple's children attended church and waited each morning at the town's post office for the school bus. In Beason, residents gathered on porches to talk about the killings, some obviously worried about the fact that, as of late in the day, authorities had not made any arrests.

Lawrence music scene continues to impress MUSIC Before I ever came to the University of Kansas and stepped foot on Massachusetts Street, I had heard that Lawrence was the hub of music in the Midwest. Coming from Denver, a big city with an influx of musical talent and shows that never seemed to stop, I was skeptical of the validity of this loaded statement. Obviously, I was just ignorant. In my two and a half years living in Lawrence I have seen some of the best shows of my life, enough so that I feel it needs a better name — "The L." Aside from my personal corkiness and total infatuation with everything Lawrence, I can step outside of my own box and confirm that Lawrence is legitimately one of the best places to see a great mixture of musical talent in the Midwest. I've researched almost all of the venues in other Big 12 college towns: Iowa City, Iowa; Columbia, Mo.; Norman, Okla.; Manhattan, Kan.; and Austin, Texas. The only city that might have a better line-up this fall is Austin, but that doesn't count because Austin is in, well, Texas. THE "L" NICHOLAS ROESLER Lawrence has a line-up that can almost be compared to bigger cities like my home town of Denver, considering the quality and regularity of shows. For a college town — especially one located in Kansas — the diversity of music coming this fall is something that we, as residents of Lawrence, must take advantage of. For the raving, glow stick twirling music fans the month starts off with everything you could possibly want. Girl Talk is scheduled to perform on Oct. 1 at Abe and Jake's, and Sound Tribe Sector Nine is set to perform at Liberty Hall on Oct. 6. The line-up for this fall looks to be one of the best since I came here two and a half years ago. For all the foot stomping, bluegrass and all-around-good- time-lovin' music fans, there is If you are a singer-songwriter fan, your life may be complete when Ben Folds plays at Liberty Hall on Oct. 26. Sadly for hip-hop heads, a run of good shows is coming to a close. After the likes of The Cool Kids, Tech N9ne and Shwayze in August and September, the only show ahead worth noting is Brother Ali at The Granada on Sept. 27. Now, I have only included shows up until Halloween. (That is what I call scary!) A quarter of the way through the school year and my wallet will already be empty and my tack board will be overloaded with ticket stubs. Long live Lawrence music.

THE IDEA IS THAT OVERALL THE COST WILL BE LESS. COOL! ANOTP! POLITICS Back to basics: Kansas Politics 101 Agirl on my floor has no knowledge of American football. I don't fault her ignorance at all. The world might be a better place if we all paid less attention to football on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and focused more on the challenges and joys of our collective existence (and this comes from a person who cried when the Chiefs ended their 1997 season, at home, in the divisional playoffs against the Broncos after a 13-3 regular season). For the first Monday night game of the year, I found myself sitting next to her thinking about this and was compelled to ask, "How much do you really know about football?" Besides, I know there are many issues that people know and care deeply about that I might never understand. She said she didn't mind if I tried to teach her about football, so I proceeded to give a run-down of all that came to mind — downs, defenses, Steve Young (he was a part of the broadcast team) — but after a minute or two I could tell I had lost her.

From this experience I reflected and realized that my first two columns, though I was proud of them, might need the support of more information to be more easily understood by someone not as interested in state politics as I am. It occurred to me that political columns such as my own, if not those of other topics as well, might spend a disproportionate time proffering an elevated argument to the few rather than attempting to educate an audience that is skeptical about concerning itself with a political environment as polarized as ours. I was out of practice in explaining the absolute basics of the game. In 2010, statewide elections will engross Kansas.

All 125 state House of Representatives seats, who serve for two years, will also be voted on next year. At the federal level, there are four U.S. House of Representatives districts in Kansas, all of which will be up for grabs in 2010 (half will not have an incumbent in their races, but half have a competitive look, anyway), as is one of the U.S. Senate seats. My intent for this space continues to be discussion of issues and both potential and actual candidates in relation to next year's elections (for a listing of names and races, please see my blog on Kansan.com).

And it's been helped along by a number of unexpected endorsements. On Sept. 16, Bill O'Reilly told Nina Owcharenko of the Heritage Foundation that, lo and behold, he supports the public option. Never in my most delirious dreams did I suppose that one day I'd be lauding the blustery populist for his position on any substantive issue of public policy. But I've got to admit he made a good point when he said, "I want, not personally for me, but for working Americans, to have an option, that if they don't like their health insurance, if it's too expensive, they can't afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks." In a poll conducted last week, Dr. Salomeh Keyhani and Dr. Alex Federman of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York found that 73 percent of doctors supported a public option. And 63 percent favored a plan that would give patients a choice between a public and a private option, and 10 percent favored a public option only, which is tantamount to a single-payer system. What magnanimity! Last week also marked another, much more significant endorsement of the Democrats' reform. But we have to make sure that this plan will not just plaster over the cracks only to sap impetus from fundamental reform to the system that will be needed in the near future. This must be a first step, not the last. We need to deal now with the THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON The Democrats' plan, even with a public option, is only a stopgap, not the fundamental reform we ultimately need. This means eliminating the perverted incentives that underlie the entire health care system. When speaking at the University of Maryland last week, Obama promised that under his plan young people could retain coverage under their parents' plans until they turn 26. I would advise everyone to read David Goldhill's article "How American Health Care Killed My Father" from this month's issue of The Atlantic. Goldhill convincingly illustrates how the current system prevents transparent competition,encourages an ever-increasing amount of expensive treatment — often at the expense of patients' well-being—and hides how much consumers actually pay for the medical care they receive. most pressing issue, expanding coverage to those of us who, by little or no fault of our own, have been left out of the system: the millions of Americans who have lost their insurance along with their jobs in these lean times of the Great Recession, all of those with pre-existing conditions who are denied coverage and those poor college-age saps who, like me, have been booted off their parents' insurance. He is correct when he says that the Democrats' plan does not address "the root causes of poor quality and runaway costs." Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO Salon Hawk sends mixed signals of cancer awareness The University of Kansas and its many organizations have always attempted to bring awareness to many social issues. Cancer has been one of the main topics. "Two years ago my best friend found a lump on her breast," Emily Willis, owner of Salon Hawk, said. In Monday's editorial, breast cancer, but more importantly breast cancer awareness, was the main topic. According to the article, "Salon Hawk is giving students a chance to add pink to their hair to raise awareness about breast cancer." If Salon Hawk is trying to bring awareness to breast cancer, why does it have a tanning bed that exposes students to harmful ultra-violet rays leading to skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States? I'm aware that there is a difference between breast cancer and skin cancer. However, when awareness is brought up for any type of cancer, awareness is brought up for all types of cancer. It seems extremely hypocritical that the University is focused on the awareness and prevention of cancer while providing students with easy access to a service that is known to be one of cancer's main contributors. Willis and the University may be bringing awareness to breast cancer through a great charity, but the presence of a tanning bed on campus undermines the overall awareness and effort that should be aimed at preventing all types of cancer. If the two groups can't come together then the task will never get done. Amanda Kong is a sophomore from Lawrence.

The world's two biggest greenhouse-gas polluting nations were the focus at the U.N.'s unprecedented daylong climate change summit, which drew more than 50 presidents and 35 prime ministers, along with many environment ministers and at least one prince. U. N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened the gathering with an appeal to leaders to set aside national interests and think about the future of the globe — and a rebuke for their foot-dragging thus far. "The climate negotiations are proceeding at glacial speed. The world's glaciers are now melting faster than human progress to protect them — and us," the U.N. chief said. Failure to reach a new international pact on climate change "would be morally inexcusable, economically shortsighted and politically unwise," Ban warned. "The science demands it. The world economy needs it." Tuesday's U.N. gathering and the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh this week are seen as an attempt to pressure rich nations to commit to a global climate treaty at Copenhagen, Denmark, in December, and to pay for poorer nations to burn less coal and preserve their forests. With a mere 76 days to go before the pivotal conference, it appeared an interim agreement might be the most that could be expected in December, leaving difficult details for later talks. SCOOTER'S COFFEEHOUSE How would you like your drink? Hot? Iced?

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., of Crookston, Minn., got a fair trial and rejected his bid to overturn his death sentence. The defense said it would appeal. The 2-1 ruling came three years to the day that a federal jury in Fargo, N.D., decided Rodriguez should die for kidnapping resulting in the death of Dru Sjodin. The jury earlier found him guilty of abducting Sjodin on Nov. 22, 2003, from the parking lot of a Grand Forks, N.D., shopping mall where she worked. Despite massive searches that included National Guard troops, the 22-year-old Pequot Lakes, Minn., woman was missing for five months until her body was found near Crookston, where Rodriguez lived with his mother. Authorities said she had been raped, beaten and stabbed. "We're gratified by the outcome but we know this is the first step," said Lynn Jordheim, acting U.S. attorney for North Dakota. The three-judge panel of the St. Louis-based court rejected the defense arguments. Your Eyeglasses For Less 9th & Iowa 785.856.8877 THE SEARCH FOR THE SHIRT CONTINUES YOUR SCHOOL. YOUR SHIRT.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME Coaching for a new tradition 6 PAGE 1B Highland Park defensive coordinator Eric Washington explains a defensive scheme to two players during a walkthrough before the the Scots' first game. Washington played linebacker at the University and graduated in 2006. Former Kansas players work to rebuild football program at troubled high school "We wanted to film practice but we didn't have a camera. Well, now we have one and we have a tripod for it, but then we didn't have a connecting piece for the tripod. Now we have all the stuff we need to do it but our tower is 15 feet tall and we don't have any way to get up there. So we have to find a ladder to get up there. There's a pole I guess if you want to try and shimmy up there." — Former Kansas quarterback and current Highland Park assistant coach Tyler Lawrence Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/JaysonJenks BY JAYSON JENKS jienks@kansan.com There are two practice fields at Topeka's Highland Park High School, both badly cleaved and cracked to reveal as much brown as green. There's a goalpost slightly tilted at one end and an old linenen sled that houses hornets on the other. Beyond the fence waits the harsh fist of the real world: unemployment, poverty and even the temptations of substance abuse. Inside, there's football stripped to its purest form. The equipment is old and worn and some players don't have cleats. During practice, helmets pass hands so everyone can participate. The perks aren't there; only the desire to play. On those two fields at the high school, where losing has developed into a backward tradition, stand six coaches. They're all wearing clothing with Kansas logos. They're all here with hopes of change. So why talk about Highland Park, a school located roughly 30 minutes from the weight facilities and bright green turf located at Kansas' Memorial Stadium? Because in this story, that same stadium serves as the starting point. It's there, with all the amenities of major college football t at their fingertips, where these six players-turned-coaches reached the peak of their college football careers. When Saturday no longer meant game day, the six looked for other options to stay involved. They took up coaching, and they did so at Highland Park, a high school with as little football tradition as Kansas possessed during the late 90s and early 2000s. "The football program at Highland Park has been struggling the last few years, the last several years really", Highland Park activities and athletics director Colin Cathey said, "Right now we're looking at starting all over and building from new." Cathey and Highland Park's administration hired former Kansas defensive back Sadiq Muhammed as the Scots' head coach before the start of this season. After coaching at the junior high level with former Kansas linebacker Eric Washington last year, Muhammed immediately hired Washington as his defensive coordinator at Highland Park. So began the Kansas connection. Former offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez and former wide receiver Dexton Fields joined Muhammed's staff to coach their respective positions. Five of those coaches, including Muhammed, were members of the 2007 team that won the Orange Bowl. Similarly, they all want to be a part of another culture change at Highland Park. Muhammed also reached out to former quarterback Tyler Lawrence to serve as his offensive coordinator. Lawrence, in turn, talked former offensive lineman Justin Pessoet into joining the staff. The Scots' have won three consecutive Kansas 5A state championships in basketball and are annually one of the best teams in the state, regardless of class distinction. The football team finished 1-8 last season. Sound familiar? "The tradition in football here isn't like it is in basketball." Fields said. "I like seeing improvement. I like changing kids' lives." Transforming Highland Park's football program is a tall order, and Muhammed and his coaches know that. Highland Park hasn't had much success in football, especially recently, and that creates a ripple effect. Without winning, the size of a team's roster slowly dips. Without some of those players, the quality of the football team continues diminish. That's why Washington made his line-backers repeat a tackling drill until they displayed proper technique and why Fields SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B CROSS COUNTRY Freshman runners make impressive race finishes BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com The Kansas cross country team's freshman runners are making an impressive transition to college — and college running. "There's a lot of school work and a lot of running," David Roberts said. "The balance is pretty difficult." The team has seven non-red-shirt freshmen. Four of them — Roberts, Kyra Kilwein, Brenna Farren and Kathleen Thompson — have finished in the top seven among the Kansas runners. Being in the top seven is significant because it means that they qualify for the traveling team, which competes in all the meets that are farther away. Thompson said that she was more of a middle distance runner traditionally, so it was a shock to be running so many miles. Even those runners with a lot of long distance experience, or "high These new Kansas cross country runners have a little more than balance to worry about; they have a new running workload "I've gone up about 15 miles a week, so it took a little adjusting," Kathleen Thompson said. that is unlike anything they have done in the past. "I've gone up about 15 miles a week, so it took a little adjusting." KATHLEEN THOMPSON Freshman runner mileage," have difficulties adjusting to working out at a collegiate level. "I have pretty high mileage right now because in high school I ran for a club team, so we did a lot of mileage," Brenna Farrone said. It's not just the workouts the runners have to worry about; it is the actual races as well. "But it's just workout-wise and getting used to weights because weights are different." Roberts had a strong showing in his first race at Rim Rock, finishing a 6K in fourth place, which COMMENTARY was second overall for Kansas. When the time came to bump up the distance to 8K, Roberts struggled a little and finished seventh among the Kansas runners. Roberts said his high school races were usually 5K races, so he was better conditioned for the 6K and his first 8K was a bit of a shock to him. He has been working hard to be ready for his next 8K in about a week. Many of these freshmen ran on the same courses for four years of high school and got used to all the nuances; they knew where the first big hills were and where they should speed up and slow down. In college they are running on new courses in new states. "I should be more prepared just off the mileage I'm doing," Roberts said. Kyra Kilwein went to Lawrence Free State High School, so Rim Rock was a course she knew very well. Traveling to Missouri was a new experience for her.

BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Langford deserves respect from fans Here's a list of the top nine scorers in Kansas basketball history: history: 1. Danny Manning 2,951 2. Nick Collison 2,097 3. Raef LaFrentz 2,066 4. Clyde Lovettele 1,979 5. Darnell Valentine 1,821 6. Keith Langford 1,812 7. Paul Pierce 1,768 8. Dave Robisch 1,754 9. Kirk Hinrich 1,753 All are Jayhawk legends whose numbers we remember just as much as their faces and playing styles; Manning's No. 25, LaFrentz's No. 45 and Pierce's No. 34. The numbers hang from the illustrious rafters in Allen Fieldhouse, basketball's mecca. Of the nine leading scorers above, eight have their jerseys retired. The silky Langford's No. 5 ranked sixth on the list and also deserves to be there. The criteria to make the ratters before the 2002-03 season was stodgy to say the least. A player had to be college basketball player of the year, MVP of the NCAA tournament, a consensus first team All-American or a two-time first team All-American to have a banner lifted among other Kansas greats. Kansas Athletics rightfully slackened the criteria considerably, allowing players such as Hinrich to have a banner hoisted in his honor. It is unclear that the current criteria are. But if Hinrich and Collison are up there, Langelord should be too. Langford was always underrated because he simply didn't dominate games. He never was a fantastic outside shooter. He never lead the team in scoring for a season. He played with Hinrich and Collison for two years and alongside Wayne Simien for two more. It is unfair to suggest he was not quite as good as other players with their jerseys retired just because he played for great teams. I think people also tend to forget how important Langford was to Kansas' title game run in 2003. In the first round, second-seeded Kansas was locked in a battle with fifteenth-seeded Utah State. With Hinrich passive, Langford took over. He sliced through the Aggie zone time and time again, finishing the game with 22 points. He didn't need to. Against Dwyane Wade and Marquette in the Final Four, Langford paced the Jayhawks with 17 points in the first half, opening up a huge Kansas lead. The Jayhawks cruised to a 94-61 victory. Another factor hurting Langford's chances is his inability to stick on an NBA roster. But anything Langford did after his time at Kansas has nothing to do with his credentials for a banner. If Kansas makes a few more free throws against Syracuse and Bucknell center Chris McNaughton's hook shot hits back iron a year later, Langford would be a lead. The argument that Kansas should only recognize the best of the best is also invalid. If the criteria change, which they won't, Langford's banner could rightfully be taken down. Under the current system, Langford should have a banner. Only then will he be given the respect he deserves.

Don't forget the unsung heroes MORNING BREW Sports fans have always seen the flashy and flamboyant as the confections to their spectating palate. Chad (formerly Johnson) Ochincin and his tweet-happy, cornerback-victimizing lifestyle has often captivated our attention. Ron Artest and his freewheeling punches and pitiful record releases has never been a boring tale. But what about the other guys? The grinders. The hustle players. You don't see football fans rocking jerseys in the mid 70s or hockey fans throwing hats for the guy that rides the zamboni. Forget the ttipo catches and the windmill dunks of the world for just one moment. It's time to appreciate the unsung heroes of the sports world. Don't forget to tip your cap. THE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Our attention is constantly drawn to the ankle-breaking jukes of the running back, loud-mouthed divas and their gravity-defying catches at wide receiver and pinpoint darts from the forever glorified quarterback. What about the big boys up front? It seems as if the actual players are the only ones to truly recognize the paramount importance of the offensive linemen. After all, every play must start in the center's hands. Then, right off the snap, two rival lines bash heads, colliding at a war-like impact. They do this every play. Offensive linemen must prevent some of the most daunting athletic specimens from getting to the ball carrier. Imagine a 6-foot-4, 270 pound defensive lineman with 4.6 speed and a stare that would challenge Satan — sprinting, spinning and swimming around you with all of his might. Now give it up for the bruisers at the forefront. CADDIES What would happen if Tiger Woods, right off of knee surgery, had to lug his bag of golf clubs around an endless course? On a more serious note, these Robin imposters of the course do plenty of walking with a sack on their back. There's nothing quite like a stroll through a rambling open fairway with a blinding white sun beaming in your eye. Many caddies also have to put up with a stuck-up veteran ordering them like a butler. I think it's safe to say that the golf cart deserves an honorable mention. In a steaming battle of skill and power, persistent hydration is essential. Who knows a water boy's name? Now these guys are the definition of the unsung hero. After all, there really is nothing like some "high quality H2O". WATER BOYS You simply cannot compile a list like this without including Kansas' selfless two. Kerry Meier started his college football career KERRY MEIER AND BRADY MORNINGSTAR Follow Kansan writer Max Rothman at twitter. com/maxrothman E as a quarterback on a mediocre team. Then Todd Reesing rose the ranks and Meier went with it. Rather than pouting at the ascension of his former understudy, Meier made the most of it and became Reesing's best possession receiver. Now, Meier is a Biletnikoff Award hopeful. Brady Morningstar began last year gripping the role of a starter and never let go. Kansas coach Bill Self perpetually used Morningstar as a tireless defensive specialist who could also knock down a few threes on the other end. Self referred to Morningstar as "the glue" that made this team work. Whether it's locking down a speedy guard with a perfect shot or diving after a ball on its way out of bounds, Brady Morningstar is your guy. THE MORNING BREW Now I understand that both Meier and Morningstar get their fair share of love at Kansas, perhaps not qualifying for this list. Both are fan favorites of the Jayhawk faithful. However, those outside of Lawrence rarely hear a peep about these two. Spread the word Jayhawks — Kansas football and basketball is about more than Reesing and Briscoe or Collins, Cole and Xavier. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS Jeff Mangum, brainchild of the Neutral Milk Hotel was a grown man when he first read the diary of Anne Frank. However, the book that is widely known as an elementary school standard struck Mangun into a deep state of depression, unable to handle the harsh cruelties of the world. While many simply laugh off Mangun's near insanity and fragility, one cannot ignore the profound effect that this depression had on the 1998 lo-fi legend, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." The album sounds off keel and messy at first listen, but gradually builds into a magnum opus, channeling the soul of a young girl who lived long ago. Mangum's lyrics are as sick and disturbing as they are beautiful. Lengthy dramas "Oh Comely" and "Two Headed Boy" remind the listener of an equally irate Dylan on 1965's "Desolation Row." With a mind-bending frenzy of marching band horns, fuzzy guitar and impatient drums, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" will bother you, but always keep your ear at bay. The album ranges from paced nostalgic ballads such as "King of Carrot Flowers Part 1" to lo-fi pop rushes like "Holland 1945." Allow Mangun's words to open your mind and paint a picture inside. Then, and only then, will you understand what the hell is going on here.

Associated Press COURT Coach acquitted in H.S. football player's death LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky football coach acquired last week in the death of a player says there are no winners in what he called a "terrible tragedy." Former Pleasure Ridge Park High School coach David Jason Stinson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the case was "never Jason Stinson vs. Max Gilpin." "There are no winners in this case, that's what people have to understand," Stinson said in a phone interview from New York. A injury deliberated last week for about 90 minutes before finding Stinson not guilty of reckless homicide and wanton endangement. Stinson, 37, is set to return to the classroom at Pleasure Ridge Park on Thursday, a week after his acquittal. Prosecutors argued Stinson ran his players to the point of abuse last August, causing Gilpin, a 15-year-old sophomore offensive lineman, to suffer exertional heatstroke. Gilpin died at a Louisville hospital three days after collapsing of heat stroke, sepsis and multiple organ failure. Stinson's attorneys argued Gilpin was on medication and supplements that affected his body temperature and the practice was not unusual. 7 Cassel, not Croyle, will start against the Eagles NFL Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brodie Croyle has a much higher quarterback rating and a better completion percentage, but Matt Cassel has a bigger guaranteed contract. Guess who'll start for Kansas City on Sunday? It will be Cassel facing the Eagles in Philadelphia, coach Todd Haley said Tuesday. But the rookie head coach also said he would not hesitate to make a switch if he decided Croyle gives the winless Chiefs a better chance. He would really have the courage to bench someone his boss showered with millions of dollars and staked a big chunk of his reputation on? "You've got to ultimately do what you think gives your team the best chance to win," Haley said, "if that season debut in Arrowhead Stadium, he was 24-of-39 passing for 241 yards, a completion percentage of 61.5. His quarterback rating is 66.3. Croyle, as Cassel's injured left knee continued to mend, hit 16 of 24 for 177 yards and two touchdowns the week before at Baltimore. He threw two touchdown passes and did not throw an interception while compiling a rating of 116.1 "I think when you talk about any of these players, you're talking about a total evaluation, going all the way back to when we first got together as a group." Haley said. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel (7) runs away with the ball during the first half the Chiefs' game against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

He played well enough in training camp to be the "I thought Brodie Croyle went into a very difficult situation, a hostile environment against a very good defense and he looked like an NFL quarterback.

No. 2, and carried that over to the Baltimore game. Last year, when Haley was offensive coordinator at Arizona, he was involved in one of the most fateful quarterback switches of the season. Matt Leinart, a No. 1 pick, was struggling and aging veteran Kurt Warner was on hand as his backup. "When we made that change, there was a lot of negative feedback — 'What about the future?' There weren't too many people saying much when we were in the Super Bowl last year," Haley said.

They want to toss aside the losing, and they see what it takes to do so. He paused and smiled. "I always wanted to be a part of changing something around," Washington said. "We're dealing with adversity, with not having the basics. We don't have enough balls for drills or enough helmets for everyone. We're dealing with that and getting through it. It's pretty sad to be honest but we don't talk about what we don't have." "Good thing we don't have to share mouthpieces." Highland Park junior Nate Gonzalez isn't practicing today — something about a missing physical form. So, instead, Gonzalez stands off to the side with his arms folded. He's wearing loose khaki pants, a grey tank top and a gold chain. His braided hair dangles past his neck. Gonzalez looks like a football player. He's thick with broad, stocky shoulders. "I was born loving football." Gonzalez said. "It's in my blood." But there's more to Gonzalez's story than simply football. It is 5 p.m., two hours since the end of school. And Gonzalez chooses to be here, on the football field, even if he can't participate. It doesn't sound like much, but Gonzalez knows. If he wasn't here, he could very well be somewhere he maybe shouldn't be. He says football and its time commitment keep him away from those negative distractions. "I come from a tough background," Gonzalez said. "That's why it's hard for me to get my cleats and stuff. I come from drugs and stuff like that. And my family doesn't make that much money so I try and help my family out because I come from a big family." That's evident in the decision Gonzalez had to make before the season: Get an afterschool job as his mother would prefer or continue spending "This is their way out. It's the only way out of the streets for some of them." offensive and defensive plays on the football field. ERIC WASHINGTON Former KU linebacker It's not a difficult decision for Gonzalez, who plays along the offensive line. Jobs and bosses will always be there. The chance to play football will not. Plus, you don't get to legally hit someone in the business world. At Highland Park, roughly one in three households make less than $30,000 per year, according to schoolmatters.com. Academically only 54.8 percent of Highland Park's students are reading at a "It makes you think more clearly than school does," Gonzalez said.

By comparison, Lawrence High School has a 77.5 percent proficiency level in reading. Football, especially this year, trainer Bob Rusche said, provides students with a distraction from the numbers and potential struggles of everyday life. "For a lot of them, it's a release," Rusche said. "They can be out here and they can forget about their problems from the real world. But some of them can't come out because they have to have jobs or they have to help their own family out." Before leaving practice, Gonzalez said something that was repeated by a handful of Highland Park players throughout the day. He said he wanted to play this year because he heard about the new coaching staff. He wants to give them a chance. Washington knows what Highland Park's students are up Washington attended Crockett High School in Detroit's inner city. Crockett isn't known for its academic success, and it surely isn't known for playing host to wealthy students. More than 41 percent of Crockett's current households make less than $30,000 per year. During practice, Washington, Highland Park's most vocal and outwardly energetic coach, made one point very clear: The circumstances in Detroit weren't a reason to ask for sympathy. Instead, it was his driving force to work even harder. "This is their way out," Washington said. "It's the only way out of the streets for some of them. Go to practice, get tired and then go home. Fieldsand Muhammed can relate, too. Fields grew up in Dallas' inner city while Muhammed attended high school in Kansas City, Kan. That's a big reason Muhammed was initially hired. Cathev said. "A lot of these kids are starting to go to class. And my way out was to make sure I could stay eligible so I could play." Standing behind teammates during a lineman drill, senior DJ Clark talks about the difference in coaching this year, that he's learned more in the early portion of this season than throughout the rest of his career. Then, something sticks out. He's wearing a pair of shorts from Shawnee Mission West High School in Shawnee. They are an old pair of Lawrence's. "They make us feel like we're welcome," Clark said. "They treat us like we matter. They treat us like we're one of their kids." Highland Park is 0-3 this season. The Scots' starting quarterback broke his right hand last Friday and Clark, one of the team's best defenders, didn't play in the loss because of an injury. Still, tucked somewhere between the drills and practices, there's a sense of optimism floating around the football fields at Highland Park these days. "If you have the right coaches and the right people who know what it takes, football can change anyone's life," Fields said.

Edited by Amanda Thompson Greinke first Royal to win 15 since 2002 ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack Greinke bolstered his Cy Young Award credentials by holding Boston to two hits in six scoreless innings, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 5-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Greinke is 3-0 with a 0.26 ERA in his past five starts, allowing 18 hits and one earned run in 35 innings. With the stingy stretch, Greinke has lowered his major league-leading ERA to 2.08. Greinke (15-8) became the first Royals pitcher to win at least 15 games in a season since Paul Byrd won 17 in 2002. Byrd (1-2) was the losing pitcher Tuesday. Greinke's record likely would be more impressive if he had better run support. He has failed to earn a win in six starts in which he allowed none or one run. Dustin Pedoria doubled in the first and Victor Martinez singled in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 21 games, for the only hits against Greinke. Greinke walked three and struck out five, bringing his season total to 229, which is second in the American League. MLB The Red Sox scored their run without a hit in the eighth off Roman Colon, who walked Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedroia. After a double steal, Ellsbury scored on Martinez's grounder. Ellsbury tops the majors with 63 stolen bases. Byrd settled down after the first, going 6 2-3 innings and not allowing another run. He yielded five runs on nine hits and four walks. Byrd exited in the seventh with the bases loaded after a single and two walks, but Mark Teahen fled out to center to end the inning. Callaspo, who had three hits and a walk, singled home Mitch Maier with the second run of the inning. Joakim Soria was summoned for final out after David Ortiz walked and Casey Kotchman reached on a Butler error. Soria logged his 28th save in 31 opportunities. The Royals batted around in a five-run first, which included Alex Gordon's two-run, two-out single. The first five batters reached base off Byrd and all scored. Byrd walked Billy Butler and Mike Jacobs on eight straight balls. Jacobs walked with the bases loaded. HOUSTON — Joel Pineiro allowed five hits in seven effective innings, Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer and the St. Louis Cardinals inched closer to the NL Central title on Tuesday night with an 11-2 win over the Houston Astros. Colby Rasmus added a solo shot as the Cardinals reduced their magic number for clinching the division to two. Pineiro (15-11) struck out four and threw only 87 pitches to win for the first time in four starts.

Southern Miss came from behind to win 37-34. Southern Miss utilizes a variation of the wildcat formation, which has become popular throughout both college and professional football. BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com The wildcat formation is sweeping through both college and pro football. In the formation the running back takes the snap and the quarterback is often split out wide. Kansas sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson hasn't worked against a wildcat-type formation much before, but he likely will in practice this week and Saturday against Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles used their version of the formation, the eagle, effectively in their comeback victory against Virginia last week. "When you do take that wrong step at defensive end or linebacker, it opens up a big gap," Patterson said. "The running back just explodes through it very quickly. You just got to be very disciplined." However, Patterson did watch the Miami Dolphins use it effectively on Monday Night Football and noticed its danger. Coach Mark Mangino was mum about the exact approach the defense will take in defending the Southern Miss eagle formation, but he did t Follow Kansan writer Clark Goble at twitter.com/cgoble89. offer some insight. "We have to put a sound plan together because if you're not assignment sound, you're going to get in trouble," Mangino said. "The key thing is being smart, being where you supposed to be, being assignment sound." Perhaps the scariest thing about the eagle formation is that Southern Miss' offensive personnel is very apt for the formation. Senior running back Damion Fletcher averages 115 yards rushing per game and sophomore quarterback Austin Davis ran for 500 yards and nine touchdowns in 2008. Southern Miss scored its game-winning touchdown in the eagle formation when Fletcher took the snap and handed off to senior running back Tory Harrison coming around the end. Using a block from Davis down-field, Harrison dashed 57 yards for the touchdown. "You're in four wides and two backs and there aren't enough defenders. They can't account for the guys," Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora said. "It's just about spreading them out and still having the threat of running east-west at full speed." Another dangerous factor is that Fedora said in a teleconference Monday there is "a lot more to the package" that they haven't shown yet. He guessed they have used only three plays so far and said they have plenty of other options. Dangerous wide receiver Freddie Parham, who returned a kick 100 yards for a touchdown against Virginia, could get some snaps in the eagle. Senior safety Justin Thornton isn't too concerned about the formation, though. "Everyone's just got to do their job, and we'll be good." Thornton said. Like Patterson, freshman linebacker Hudson Tharp has only seen the wildcat on television, but he is sure he will see it on film this week. "We'll find a way to defend it and take care of it." Tharp said. Shotgun formation vs. Wildcat formation X X X X X X X X X X HB QB HB HB — Edited by Tim Burgess NCAA Isch chosen as temporary replacement for Brand The Wildcat offense looks much like the shotgun, but has a running back take the snap, and often splits a quarterback wide in a receiver position. The formation also usually has a wide receiver who comes in motion into the backfield before the snap, giving the formation another running option. ASSOCIATED PRESS For now, that's Isch's job. He was named Brand's interim replacement Tuesday, less than a week after the NCAA president died of pancreatic cancer at age 67. INDIANAPOLIS — James Isch wants to fulfill Myles Brand's unfinished goals at the NCAA. lsch Isch, 59, had been serving as the NCAAs vice president for administration and chief financial officer, overseeing the budget for the premier governing body of college athletics. But until then, Isch is in charge and Adams does not expect the longtime NCAA executive to be merely a figurehead. Adams said M "We will continue to focus on academic reform, the fiscal stability of our organization and, most importantly, continue to emphasize the student-athlete," issch said during a conference call with reporters. "Within the next few days, I will be reaching out to members of the athletic community and our staff as we chart our course." NCAA Executive Committee chairman Michael Adams said the decision was made Monday night. He gave no timetable for naming a new, full-time president. several other candidates were considered, though he did not name them, and that he wants Isch to pursue the kind of agenda Brand laid out. "He (Isch) served as liaison to the search group that brought Myles Brand into this organization, and if we don't get the financing right, all the other association goals would be moot. So the board has full confidence in Jim Isch's ability," Adams said. "We will move ahead with Myles' goals." Isch joined the NCAAs staff in 1998 after holding administrative posts at Arkansas, Kansas State and Montana State. president Walter Harrison. Over the past nine months, as Brand underwent cancer treatment, Isch was one of four members on the president's cabinet who helped oversee the day-to-day tasks. The other three were "Myles did talk with me about the people in the association in which he had the most confidence," Adams said. "He mentioned four or five people in that regard. He did not offer a belief in who the next interim should be and, as Myles usually did, he trusted the decision of the committee." "Within the next few days, I will be reaching out to members of the athletic community..." Isch worked on the NCAA's strategic-planning effort in 2003-04 and the Presidential Task Force in 2006, a project designed to help universities make more cost-effective decisions about athletics. He also helped oversee the NCAA's move from Overland Park, Kan., to Bernard Franklin, Greg Shaheen and Wally Renfro, all of whom hold vice president titles. JAMES ISCH NCAA Interim President The executive committee is not scheduled to meet again until Oct. 29, with details of the formal search almost certainly taking center stage. Among those believed to be top candidates are Franklin, Adams and University of Hartford Indianapolis. Isch's top priority: Following Brand's vision with a personal touch. "I'm going to be reaching out to all the vice presidents, but I will be facing special reliance on the other three individuals who were part of the small group that helped direct and guide the association during Myles' illness," Isch said. "I would intend to also expand that group some. At this point, I can't tell you exactly how many. Isch, an Army veteran, earned a bachelor's degree from Kansas State and a master's from Boston University. He also has a doctorate degree in philosophy from Kansas State. Isch is married, has two children and three grandchildren. "But I can tell you this, I will be on the road."

But when "forfeit" is used in reference to an intramural game, just one word comes to mind: laziness. Even though most students involved in intramural sports participate, some seldom show up for what the sign up for. E Matt Beck, intramurals coordinator, said flag football, which consists of about 140 teams and a three-week season, had 41 forfeits this year. Only ten of those teams have Follow Pat Eland at twitter.com/ peland_uk. paid their forfeit fees. He said sand volleyball has had 26 forfeits in its two-week season, and only four teams that have paid their forfeit fees. "We don't want your team signing up for all these leagues if you're not having any intent to be there," Beck said. "Don't take a spot in the league away from somebody else that wants to play." "It really makes me upset when I take the time to drive all the way over there, and then I don't get to play, because the other guys were too lazy to show up," Aaron Flickinger, McPherson junior, said. Almost every intramural sport at the University requires an entry fee from each team, usually between $10 and $20. The fee is used to pay referees and show that each team is committed to playing, Beck said. After paying the entry fee, each team signs up for a day of the week and a time slot on that day as to when it will be playing all of its games. Flickinger said teams sign up for day and time slots that it knows it will be able to make it to each week, but teams wait until the last minute. These teams end up with time slots that they agree to just because they want to be a part of the league, but then don't end up showing up for any of their games. "I understand what teams go through when they have to have a forfeit," Weston Pletcher, Rosalia junior, said. "It's pretty aggravating, because you take time out of your day to show up and play and then they don't show up." When a team forfeits its game, they must pay a $10 fee within three days of being contacted by intramural services, or the team is dropped from the league. Each team is only allowed two forfeits before being removed from the league. Teams that do not pay the fee will not be able to register for any other sports until it is paid. Beck said forfeits from rescheduled games, which are randomly assigned and without either team's input, are usually dealt with more leniency. It often won't count toward a team's forfeit tally, or the team won't be charged the fee. — Edited by Jacob Muselmann MLB COLORADO ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado Rockies' Aaron Cook pitches during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cook will return to the mound for the first time in a month for the Colorado Rockies on Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Rockies ace ready to return to field Associated Press BY ARNIE STAPLETON DENVER — Aaron Cook finally feels like he's part of a pension race. Colorado's ace right-hander learned Tuesday that he would return to the mound Friday night against St. Louis, his first start since going on the disabled list with a strained right elbow on Aug. 22. The Rockies entered their game Tuesday night against San Diego with a four-game lead over San Francisco in the NL wild-card race. Cook was an onlooker the last time the Rockies reached the playoffs, missing out on their incredible 21-1 run-up to the World Series in 2007 because of a strained side muscle that sidelined him for 11 weeks. Medicals 30 "Yeah, '07 was a totally different story. When I got hurt, I knew I was going to be gone for at least 60 days and we weren't even really in it when I got hurt," Cook said. "So, to be in a pennant run, to get hurt when I got hurt, this year stunk. I wasn't really concerned about starting. I just wanted to come back and help and be part of the team." He returned for Game 4 of the World Series, allowing three runs over six stellar innings but couldn't prevent Boston from sweeping the Rockies for the title. "I don't care," Cook said. "I just want to go out there and do what I can. I mean, if I can get five innings, four innings, seven innings, whenever they feel it's time to hand the ball to somebody else." Manager Jim Tracy said Cook, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 22 with a strained right elbow, would be limited to 70 pitches.

The Cardinals are keeping their options open, waiting to see if Kyle Lohse can shake off struggles from a forearm injury that's affected his delivery for several months. His success in the rotation could point to a starting role for a team closing in on an NL Central title. ST. LOUIS — John Smoltz is happy to be pitching, period. Whatever the St. Louis Cardinals want the 42-year-old right-hander to do in the postseason is fine with him. But he can just as easily end up as a setup man for closer Ryan Franklin. He said that he was the guy "sitting home and playing golf" after flaming out with the Red Sox earlier in the season. Smoltz is 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA in a late-season rebirth heading into his sixth start on Wednesday in Houston. Smoltz relishes role with new team He's coming off a strong outing against the Cubs in which he gave up two first-inning runs and none the last five after missing a turn due to shoulder inflammation. ASSOCIATED PRESS Smoltz promises patience, as long as he gets the ball, and knows the Cardinals understand what he can do. "I don't feel like I'm on any audition," Smoltz said. "What they got me here to do is to pitch and pitch in big games. Whatever irrelevant at this point." The Cardinals took a chance on Smoltz in mid-August, after he cleared waivers following an "I don't feel like I'm on any audition."

Smoltz could just as easily serve as a valuable arm late in the game given his unique background as a former closer who totaled 144 saves to win," La Russa said. "Right now it's important for him to take innings and get his delivery going and have a feel for his pitches. "And he still has the ability to touch 92 or 93 mph, so you've got to respect his fastball," DeRosa said. Mark DeRosa, a teammate of Smoltz' in Atlanta from 2001-04, said the right-hander has the same fire to compete even though he's not quite the same pitcher, and has developed a split-finger fastball and a backdoor slider to keep hitters guessing.

Following an incident on Tuesday night that left Tyshawn Taylor with a dislocated finger, more than 25 football and basketball players were involved in a fight yesterday morning behind Budig Hall. "I have consulted with Lew Perkins and share his disappointment regarding the recent incidents involving a small number of our student athletes," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement. "They need to realize their profiles make them representatives of the University off the court and field, as well as on it, and that KU had high expectations for its students. I appreciate the quick response by the athletic director and university staff and the strong statement from the team's leaders." CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY REACTIONS Throughout the day, stories about the incidents spread across campus and community. Katie Summers, Tulsa junior, said she was shocked when she saw the altercation as she walked to Anschutz library. "It was so intimidating to have these insanely big football and basketball players shouting at each other," Summers said. "I just ran to the library and got out of the wav." Rex Porter, owner and barber at Rex's Stadium Barber Shop, 1033 Massachusetts St., said nearly everyone who came in for haircuts yesterday was talking about the brawl. He said in his 46 years in Lawrence he had never seen anything like this, but that throughout the last year he had heard various accounts of growing animosity between the players of the two programs. "There's been a lot of friction between the two programs," Porter said. "I've been hearing about ongoing fights between the programs, whether it's been a fight at Wayne and Larry's or an argument at The Hawk." When he heard about the altercations via text message yesterday afternoon, Dexton Fields, former KU wide receiver and 2009 graduate, remembered the only other @KANSAN.COM See video of the basketball players leaving Wescoe at kansan.com. KUJH MANGINO, PLAYERS DISCUSS INCIDENTS Coach Mark Mangino addressed the media for the first time since two incidents involving members of the foot ball and basketball teams occurred Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. While Mangino said he was still gathering information,he didn't think any suspensions would be handed out "I'm looking at the information that I've gotten so far and there are still a lot of things that have to get to me in terms of exactly what happened and how it happened," Mangino said. "But based on what I have right now, I don't see anything that would have我 discipline any individual player." "We're just talking about probably a few guys here that let their emotions get the best of them," Mangino said. "It's not nearly as big a situation as it has been portrayed in some media outlets." Mangino, the athletic administration and all members of the football and basketball teams met in the Anderson Family Football Complex. Athletic Director Lew Perkins called the meeting to discuss the situation. Mangino and his players said the meeting seemed to be a success. "Ijust told our guys we need to put it behind us and stay focused," senior quarterback Todd Reesing said. "We've moved past it. We've met with the guys and everything is under control." There are no bad feelings and there's not going to be a continuation of this." THE MONOPOLY IS THE NEW WORLD OF SAFETY Mangino said that if any new, reliable information surfaces about the two incidents, he will take further action at that point.

SEE EMMY ON PAGE 3A ADMINISTRATION Program budget cuts pose challenge BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com Recent budget cuts may be slowing some students' progress because of fewer class sections and fewer faculty members, hindering the University administrators' goal of graduating students in four years. Additionally, programs sponsored by the University, such as UKanTeach, are having to come up with alternative ways to raise money to fill the previously government-funded gap. For fiscal year 2009-2010, the Lawrence campus budget was reduced by $17.9 million, resulting in 75 fewer class sections and 55 fewer faculty members. Overall, 121 University positions have been cut or left unfilled, and there are fewer graduate teaching assistants. The cuts require teachers and faculty to do more with less.

Associated Press NATIONAL Terrorist plot investigated COURSE SUBWAY ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Hundreds of federal agents and police officers widened their investigation of a potential terrorism plot involving an alleged al-Qaida associate on Wednesday as questions lingered about whether early missteps might have made the chore harder. ASSOCIATED PRESS **Army National Guard soldiers keep watch inside Grand Central Station Tuesday in New York. Investigators questioned alleged al-Qaida associates in potential terrorism nlt.** Investigators have fanned out in a New York City neighborhood to re-interview "people previously encountered" during previous raids there, and to locate others who know them, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the probe. The effort also includes a review of phone and other records. The official said business owners also are on the list of possible witnesses in a potential homemade-bomb plot. The official declined to identify those businesses, but authorities regularly monitor sales by suppliers of chemicals that could be used in improvised explosives. Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Denver airport shuttle driver whom authorities have linked to al-Qaida; his father; and Ahmad Wai Afzali, a Queens imam, were charged last weekend with lying to the FBI. Authorities say they found bomb-making instructions on a hard drive on Zazi's laptop but knew of no specific time or place for a possible attack. CRIME Man arrested for threatening to she The arrests came after the series of high-profile raids of several city apartments in the Queens neighborhood where Zazi had recently visited, and were followed by a flurry of nationwide warnings of possible strikes on transit, sports and entertainment complexes. According to a University police report, a man was arrested after he threatened to shoot a woman in a parking lot near Jayhawker Towers about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, an hour after an incident involving University athletes reportedly turned violent at the nearby Burge Union. Capt. Schuyler Bailey, University police spokesman, said police do not think the criminal threat was related to the Burge Union incident. Guy Lipscomb, a 19-year-old Lawrence resident, was booked into Douglas County Jail at 10:44 p.m. Tuesday on charges of making a criminal threat. Lipscomb was released Wednesday evening. University police were also called to a parking lot near Jayhawker Towers about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday to disperse a group of about 20 congregating individuals. It was unclear whether these individuals were involved with either of the earlier incidents. Brandon Sayers ON CAMPUS The Communication in the Workplace workshop will begin at 9 a.m. in 204 JRP.

AIDO AIDO "In some programs there will be larger classes. In some programs, there may be fewer choices of classes," Interim Provost Danny Anderson said. He said some students might have a harder time enrolling in a required course which could make it harder to graduate in four years. Jonathan Earle teaches in his Conspiracy and Paranoia in Contemporary American History class. The classroom, 3140 Wescoe, is nearly filled to capacity due to budget cuts and fewer instructors. "We hope that this won't last too long, that we will be able to put sections back that we've lost but that is one of the main concerns," Greg Simpson, interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said. "We're always making a big push for students to graduate in four years." While Simpson said students were responsible for taking the correct amount of credit hours, it was the University's responsibility to make sure the courses were available to achieve the four-year goal. Paul Kelton, chairman of the history department, said fewer class sections would "greatly diminish" the educational experience for students. "We are unable to offer a wider variety of courses at the upper undergraduate level." Keilton said. Adam Buhler/KANSAM Kelton said that some of the highly specialized sections in "I need three more master teachers next year. I don't have any money to hire." history, such as Mexican history, would suffer because the department did not have anyone to teach it. The reduction of classes and faculty resulted in crowded classrooms, less student-teacher interaction and difficulty getting Steven Case UKanTeach co-director into popular or required classes, administrators said. Michael Ralph, Dodge City fifth-year senior, said he benefited from working closely with KU faculty. However, Ralph said he thought the increased class size would change that working relationship. University officials said the cuts could affect not only students but also the state workforce. Kansas has been in short supply of math and science teachers and the UKAnTeach program, run by the University, was created in 2007 to help solve the problem. The program was successful, said Steven Case, co-director of UKAnTeach, but the budget cuts hindered the progress being made. The program thrives on large amount of student-teacher interaction but the number of faculty isn't keeping up with the growing number of students. "We were close to capacity on all three of our intro classes," Ralph said, "As big as we are now, we are going to be bigger." EFFECT ON STATE "We have two people on faculty teaching on faculty overloads," Case said. "The master teachers are completely overwhelmed because of the model and the way it works. I need three more master teachers next year. I don't have any money to hire." Master teachers hired by the program are University professors who are very practiced and highly-experienced in classrooms. "It's a great problem to have because it's like our dreams come true; the program is growing." Williamson said. "We have a commitment to make sure that the students succeed and that we meet our promises to them. So that's going to happen, but more people would sure help make it happen since there are more students." Case said that because of stifled growth there would be a cap on the number of students allowed into the program. Currently 157 students participate. "If math and science teachers are how we prepare the next generation of the stem workforce and there are not enough out there and that system is collapsing, that's like giving up on the future of any kind of math/science development here," Case said. FUNDING ALTERNATIVES Meanwhile, colleges and programs seek alternative sources for money. Simpson said three fundraising trips for CLAS are planned for late October and early November. "In times like this you get very entrepreneurial and we can't be complacent about where the money is coming from," Simpson said. "We have to figure out other places it might come from." The UKAnTeach program was initially funded by a $1.4 million National Math and Science Initiative grant and a $250,000 gift from the Kauffman Foundation. The National Math and Science Initiative also plans to award an additional $1 million if UKanTeach can raise $1 million. "We desperately need the donations for our million dollar match," said Danielle Barker, science advisor for the UKanTeach program. "Even a $2 million endowment wouldn't sufficiently cover all the bases we need to cover." "We're just at the beginning point where we're looking at what are ways that we can increase funding to support different kinds of projects at the University." Anderson Pressure was added as Gov. Mark Parkinson challenged the University to improve its national ranking and Chancellor Gray-Little set a goal to improve graduation rates. said, "The struggle we face is than anything that we are able to do, we have to ask ourselves, are we doing this in the most efficient way possible?" The Kansas Board of Regents approved a request on Sept. 16 to ask the governor and the legislature for a $17 million increase for the fiscal year that starts July 1, 2010, a request Chancellor Gray-Little supports. However, the current lack of funding is not helping the goals of the administration or the students, administrators said. Edited by Betsy Cutcliff EMMY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Matt Jacobson, associate professor of film and media studies, said he remembered Martin vividly. He said knowing one of his own students won an Emmy made him feel "pretty darn good." "Chris really stood out," Jacobson said. "His work was incredible. He had his wits about him. It doesn't surprise me to think he went out there and made a name for himself. Anyone could've taken a look at his work and tell he was heading for success." 7105 ESPN Contributed photo Alumnus Chris Martin smiles with his Emmy. He won the award for his special effects Spoofing "The Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings" into informational videos for freshmen on how to use the libraries, "Library: Revolution" and "Lord of the Libraries" showed Martin's talent for special effects during his senior year. In March 2003, Martin and fellow film student Jeff Rugles created Out of Focus, a film festival to showcase local aspiring filmmakers at Liberty Hall. Martin said the extensive background in film he acquired at the University allowed him to confidently head to California after graduation. "I thought I'd give it a try," Martin said. "After two weeks, I was working at Stargate Studios." Five years later, Chris Martin is the Digital Compositing Supervisor at Stargate and an Emmy winner. He traded the University classrooms of Oldfather Studios for the sets of TV shows such as "Ugly Betty" and "24," and has moved on from making informative library movies to creating the ferry crash sequence on "Grey's Anatomy." Although Martin's success, including four previous Emmy nominations, has led him far away from his alma mater, he said a fellow Jayhawk is never hard to find. “There’s a tight-knit group of KU alumni out here,” Martin explained. “It’s remarkable to see how many Jayhawks there are in southern California. The key grip guy from ‘Ugly Betty’ turned out to be from KU.” In the midst of big-time success, Martin stays involved with the next generation of film students emerging from the University. He recently hired Franco Leng, 2007 graduate, to join his team. During his freshman year, Leng worked with Martin on the library features. Leng's creativity and work ethic stood out, which is why after graduation Martin told him to pack his bags and move out to California. "Students coming out of KU have the talent to compete at the highest level," Martin said. "The knowledge and experience of those students is comparable to the graduates of the big time film schools." Patrick Monroe, Overland Park junior in film and media studies, said he found inspiration from Martin's success story. Knowing he can compete with students from notable film schools such as the University of Southern California renewed his dream of a career in the film industry. "It's always good to see someone succeed who has learned from the same pool of knowledge as you," Monroe, Overland Park junior, said. "It shows that you don't need to go to USC to advance in the film and TV world. It gives me hope." The magnitude of winning an Emmy is apparent to Madison Lacy, associate professor of film and media studies and four-time Emmy award winner. "The bottom line for these knis of awards is that your work is evaluated by your peers," Lacy said. "That's what makes them significant." Since Martin has reached his goal of winning an Emmy, his next aspirations are unclear. "Now I'll just have to win an Oscar, then maybe a Grammy," Martin joked.

The student activity fee decreased from $17.50 to $15.50 per person, causing student senators to put funding proposals from groups under the microscope this year. Mark Pacey, Manhattan graduate student and finance committee chair, said the committees overlooking funding bills are asking groups to provide more information such as a more complete estimate of how many people would be in attendance at events. He said he encouraged groups to submit proposals early. "We pass more funding in the fall, but that's in large part due to events in the spring often come through in the fall. We run out of money," Pacey said. The cuts this year to student activities total 11.4 percent. The biggest cuts were to block allocation funds, which included groups such as the Marching Jayhawks, University Theatre and the Student Senate administration budget. These funds were cut from $621,042 in fiscal year 2009 to $535,584 for fiscal year 2010. Line item funds, the initial funding a registered group receives and unallocated funds, which is money left over and groups also get funding from, have also decreased. SEE THE KANSAN'S EDITORIAL ABOUT STUDENT SENATE SPENDING ON PAGE 5B Erin Pishny, Lenexa junior and assistant treasurer, said student groups should explore all their options for funding this year, including grants and sponsorships. She said this should be something groups do every year. "They're really trying to drill us on being specific," Unrein said. "We are expected to have them drill us with questions. Just to make sure that it's going to a good cause. You just have to be clear about it." "Last year we were running out of money, when we had more money." Pishny said. Pacey said groups seeking funding should have contracts for senators to review, and be in communication with their student Maruel Unrein, Aiea, Hawaii senior and president of the Asian-American Student Union, said he received suggestions from Student Senate representatives in the Multicultural Education Fund to make sure they have better preparation in their proposals. senator writing the funding bill. He said he encouraged groups and senators to let him review legislation for biweekly finance meetings early by e-mail. "I don't mind having bills running by me first." Pacev said. Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior and president of KU Environs, said his group had received the standard $200 in line item funding, but it has also received a cut in funding because of the cut in the renewable energy and sustainability fee, which has gone down from $1.25 to 25 cents per student. He said the group hasn't come up with substantial plans for funding programs this year. "But when we do, we're definitely going to make sure it's a good plan, and also try to get as much funding from other places as possible, because we know that this year's a little tight for Student Senate," Calliah said. Pacey said student groups should still try to ask for funding. "I don't see any reason why something that has campus impact and follows all our rules won't get funded," Pacey said. "We're going to run out of money at the end of the year because we always run out of money at the end of the year."

ENVIRONMENT AIRLINES A DC-10 drops fire retardant over a hillside in Grimes Canyon in Fillmore, Calif., on Sunday, May 10, 2009. A new fire burns in Moorpark, Calif. New fire 40 miles from LA MOORPARK, Calif. — Firefighters guarded rural homes. ranches and orchards Wednesday as a wind-driven wildfire apparently caused by spontaneous combustion in manure marched through rugged land between small Southern California communities Wednesday BY JEFF WILSON Fire officials said it began Tuesday in the area of an agricultural mulch pile, but the cause remained under investigation. The Sheriff's Department earlier said it was apparently caused by spontaneous combustion in manure. The blaze, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, was only 20 percent contained. Firefighters cut and burned away brush along a canyon road to try to corral part of the fire's western flank. The hot, dry and gusty Santa Ana winds that spread the flames across 15 square miles returned for a second day, and incident commander Robert Lewin said the fire had potential for significant growth. Winds and fuels such as grasses and light brush made the fire dangerous, Lewin said. "Our firefighters need to be on guard, make sure they're out of harm's way when they're engaged in this fire, and so do the citizens." he said. About 1,000 homes were considered threatened as the fire burned east and west just north of Moorpark, a city of 37,000. The 15,000-student Moorpark College was closed because of its proximity to the fire. Reverse 911 calls recommending evacuations were made to 2,200 phones in unincorporated areas, but officials couldn't say how many people actually left. One of those calls went to the home of school bus driver Maria Radowaki in Somis, west of Moorark "I wasn't too frightened but my husband freaked out," she said. "He ran outside and started watering the garage in the dark." "There are very, very valuable avocado groves and other agricultural values out there and we are doing everything we can to protect those," Lewin said. Firefighters were also concerned about five major electrical transmission lines, a 36-inch natural gas pipeline and oil production fields within the fire perimeter, he said. Firefighting costs surpassed $1 million as nearly 900 firefighters, 18 air tankers and 12 helicopters worked the blaze. Four injuries "I wasn't too frightened but my husband freaked out. He ran outside and started watering the garage." Two outbuildings were destroyed but no homes had been damaged. They chose not to leave their home, and Wednesday afternoon she and another driver were out checking which roads would be open or closed when they took children home after school. The fire was also threatening agricultural properties, a major concern in a county where the industry was valued at $1.6 billion last year. were reported but all were minor. air. The blaze was the largest of several fires that erupted in Southern California on Tuesday as the Santa Anas blew in from the northeast, pushing back the normal flow of cool and moist ocean "We have the cars packed and we are ready to go. When it comes this close, you don't care. You take your passport and papers and animals and go," Lexmond said. Meanwhile, the hot, dry and windy weather increased fire activity northeast of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains, where remnants of a month-old, 251-square-mile wildfire are still smoldering. NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS Illinois Chancellor resigns CHAMPAIGN.ILL — University of Illinois President B. Joseph White resigned Wednesday following reports that the school admitted politically connected applicants over more qualified ones at its Urbana-Champaign campus. University of Illinois President B. Joseph White testifies at a meeting of an independent commission. Gov Pat Quinn appointed it to investigate driven admissions. A. R. White said he sent a resignation letter to Christopher Kennedy, the chairman of the university's board of trustees. "I take this action to enable you as a newly constituted Board to select University leadership going forward." White wrote in the letter. "It has been a privilege for my wife, Mary, and me to serve the University community. We remain highly committed to the University of Illinois." According to a university news release, White will remain with the central Illinois school to teach and raise funds. His resignation is effective Dec. 31. News reports first surfaced in May that politically connected applicants for spots at the university's flagship campus in Urbana-Champaign were given special attention and tracked through a list known as Category I. Those reports and documents later released by the university showed that some of those connected applicants were admitted over more qualified ones. Richard Herman. That applicant, initially denied admission but later accepted, turned out to be a relative of Tony Rezko, the convicted political influence peddler who is a key figure in the federal government's investigation of Blagoievich. Among the e-mails was one from ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich backing an applicant. White forwarded the e-mail to Urbana-Champaign Chancellor White has said he didn't know at the time who Rezko was when he sent along the e-mail in 2005. Six members of the university's board of trustees were also replaced this summer over the scandal.

Robbers use helicopter for heist CRIME BY KARL RITTER Associated Press STOCKHOLM - With cinematic flourish, the masked robbers dropped from a helicopter onto the roof of a Swedish cash depot before dawn, broke into the building through a glass pyramid, set off explosions to get to the millions inside and escaped by hoisting themselves and their haul back up on rope lines. All in 20 minutes, and all while Stockholm police were grounded by a fake bomb planted outside their own helicopter hangar. Sweden has had its share of high-profile heists against cash storage facilities, post offices and armored cars in recent years, but police said Wednesday's command-style robbery was the first to use a helicopter. "There are about 100 hardcore criminals in this country who have specialized in this type of serious robbery," said Jerzy Sarneci, professor in criminology at Stockholm University. "They are definitely no amateurs." He said every successful heist inspires others to follow suit, which explains why they have become relatively frequent in Sweden. "When you have a group of people doing these things, others are inspired by them," Sarncki said. A nationwide manhunt was launched for the suspects. Investigators believed at least 10 professional outlaws were involved. "These are people who most likely have committed similar crimes before," police spokesman Ulf Goranzon said. "We have naturally activated police throughout Sweden as much as possible, especially when it comes to border controls: airports, bridges and ferries." The company that owns the high-security facility, G4S PLC, said the thieves made off with "an unconfirmed sum of money" and added it would offer a large reward for information leading to their arrest and the return of the loot. The company did not give an exact amount for the reward. Britain-based G45 PLC is one of the world's largest security companies. The Vastberga facility stores cash that is transported to banks and other businesses in Sweden. G4s declined to say how much money was in the cash depot when it was attacked. Swedish criminologist Leif G. W. Persson told Swedish news agency TT that there normally would have been about 1 billion kronor ($150 million) stored there. The attack could lead to ATMs in the Stockholm area running out of cash, said Dick Malmlund, head of security at the Swedish Trade Federation. "They account for a large part of the cash supply. If a facility like that is disabled ... we don't have a lot of reserve capacity." Malmlund told the news agency. Two men were detained for questioning in Stockholm later Wednesday in connection with the robbery, but police stressed it wasn't clear if, or how, they were involved. "You always need an insider in this kind of crime," Persson told TT. Persson said the robbers likely got help from a current or former employee. "The they are suspected of handling stolen goods," police spokesman Kjell Lindgren said. The helicopter swooped down on the depot shortly after 5 a.m. and hovered there while the team of robbers did their work. Students excited about food book BY RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — One best-selling book advocating fresh, local foods is shaking up America's Dairyland. HEALTH Students across the University of Wisconsin-Madison's campus, organic grocers, scientists and dairy farmers large and small have jumped into the debate on how food is produced and eaten. The discussions started last month when the university began giving Michael Pollan's book, "In Defense of Food," free to all incoming freshmen and school officials urged professors to use it in class. "I have not seen the students this excited about something in years," Irwin Goodman, a horticulture professor who is vice dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences said of the buzz on campus about Pollan's field-to-table philosophies. The book urges readers to "eat food, not too much, mostly plants" and criticizes food companies and scientists for replacing traditional foods with unhealthier, highly processed substitutes and confusing consumers with health claims. Pollan's work has been used on college campuses from the University of California-Berkeley, where he is a journalism professor, to Columbia University in New York City to speak at the 17,000-seat Kohl Center Thursday in the liberal college town. Kelsey Ward, an 18-year-old freshman from Naperville, Ill., said she's talked about the book in chemistry and diversity classes, and with her roommate, a food science major. for courses ranging from science journalism to environmental politics. But the program at UW-Madison is unique because the book is being discussed everywhere from French and political science courses to an exhibit on the history of food. And Pollan is "It's really cool how they've connected everyone on campus through this project," she said. The book, which earlier this year won the James Beard Foundation Award for best food writing, has prompted her to eat more salads and fewer processed foods. But not everyone is so excited. "Pollan has narrow and elitist ideas about how you should eat and how farmers should (or shouldn't) feed a hungry and growing world," Bruins wrote on the farm bureau's Web site. Bill Bruins, who has a dairy farm near Waupun and is president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, called the book "a direct attack on the way we farm today." His group is working with the university to have farmers go into classrooms to present their points of view. Another critic, John Lucey, is a UW-Madison professor and food "I have not seen the students this excited about something in years." IRWIN GOODMAN horticulture professor scientist. Pollan blames food scientists for replacing food with "nutrients," and Lucey wrote on a university Web site that scientists have helped preserve foods longer, improved food safety and cut meal preparation time for busy parents.

Re H Se THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 NEWS 7A HEALTH Kansas faces dentist shortage and affordability problems BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com While going to the dentist can be an unpleasant experience, the necessity of it is undeniable. Kansas residents are facing a shortage of dentists and affordable dental care in rural areas, including Douglas County. In addition, 57 Kansas counties were reported to not have enough dentists who accept Medicaid or catered to low-income patients, according to a KDHE report. In Kansas, 91 of the 105 counties have a shortage of dental care, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Office of Local and Rural Health. "There is definitely a shortage of dentists who are willing to see patients with Medicaid or those who are uninsured," Julie Branstrom, executive director of the Douglas County Dental Clinic, said. "And often times, students fall into this category." "We all need access to dental care," said Dr. Katherine Weno, director of the KDHE Bureau of Oral Health. "Especially students who don't have funding." The biggest problem with students finding dental care services, however, is the absence of available dental care on campus. NOT INSURED? Mat Hester, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said WHO: Douglas County Dental Clinic WHAT: Free Dental Day to first 60 patients. WHERE: 6 a.m. Friday WHEN: 316 Main St. Anyone with a dental concern can stop by for a the health center was not anticipating the addition of dental care services for students. "All we can do is recommend students to local dental care clinics such as Health Care Access or to a private provider," Hester said. Nick Kenning, Hutchinson senior and president of the KU Pre-Dental Club, said he is one of many students concerned with the current shortage of dentists. One reason for this is the shortage of seats available in dental schools. "Right now there aren't enough seats to supply the demand," Kenning said. According to the KDHE study, 90.8 percent of the respondent dentists said they were concerned about the availability of dental services in the next five years. The report said fewer than 10 percent of dentists are under 30 years old, a problem Kenning, along with many other pre-dental majors, faces. "People who go out and get educated are more inclined to move to urban areas as opposed to a small town in the middle of nowhere," Kenning said. This is part of what has created a shortage in dentists. The problem of limited number of dental school graduates and the length of time needed to complete a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree will have a considerable influence on the future of dental care, according to the KDHE report. Kenningly said he thought part of the problem was the average age of dentists in Kansas. Because most dentists are older and have more experience, they aren't as willing to accommodate lower-income patients. "This shortage affects college students negatively because they need dental care and unless they can find help at the clinic they are kind of out of luck," Branstrom said. "A fair number of students neglect their oral health because if they are not covered by parents insurance, they simply can't afford it." Kansas Dental Hygienists' response to the statement Availability of preventive education of oral health is adequate. Branstrom said students operated in a "crisis mode" when it came to their oral health. This means they only go to the dentist when they had a bad tooth ache or other problem instead of going in 10 percent Strongly Disagree Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree 26 percent 29 percent 7 percent Source: The Kansas 2009 Oral Health Workforce Assessment for regular checkups, which could be more beneficial in the long run. "We recommend students coming in for checkups every six months," she said. At the Douglas County Dental Clinic, service costs vary based on a sliding scale, depending on the patient's income and the type of exam taking place. To qualify for services, patients need to be a resident of Douglas County, uninsured and make less than twice the current poverty level of $10,830 for a one-person family. Graphic by Dylan Sands Limited dental care service doesn't only affect students negatively now, however. "If you go in for check ups now, problems can be caught early," Branstrom said. "It is much less expensive and evasive than waiting. If you don't go regularly, you could have cavities that are at the point of a root canal or removal."

Amy Gov. to appoint successor POLITICS BY GLEN JOHNSON Associated Press Instead, they created the special election campaign and beat back GOP efforts to supplement it with an interim appointment both that year and in 2006. Democrats argued voters should always fill a Senate vacancy. Today, there are only 16 Republicans in the 160-member House and five in the 40-member Senate, but Wednesday's votes were BOSTON — Massachusetts lawmakers fulfilled Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's dying wish Wednesday, granting the governor the power to appoint an interim replacement for him so President Barack Obama can regain a critical 60th U.S. Senate vote he needs to pass a health care overhaul this year. The final House and Senate votes came after another vote in which House members refused to attach an emergency preamble to the bill. That left it up to Gov. Deval Patrick to decide whether he'll force the measure into law immediately, instead of the normal 90 days required of all legislation. He could do so as early as Thursday, simply with a letter to the secretary of state declaring an emergency since a special election to replace Kennedy permanently won't be held until Jan. 19. But even some of his fellow Democrats have accused him of a power grab. Democrats revoked the governor's power to fill Senate vacancies in 2004, fearing then-Gov. Mitt Romney might appoint a fellow Republican if Sen. John Kerry, (D-Mass.), won his campaign for the presidency. far less lopsided. The House vote against the emergency preamble was 95-59, when a two-thirds vote of both chambers was needed to approve it. And the votes on the final bill were an identical 95-59 in the House and 24-16 in the Senate. however the governor is going to write a letter to the secretary of state, saying the Legislature didn't agree it was an emergency, but I do, I can't wait to see it."

Wednesday. The president addressed the issues that the United Nations had with previous leader George W. Bush ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS President Barack Obama challenged world leaders Wednesday to shoulder more of the globe's critical burdens, promising a newly cooperative partner in America but sternly warning they can no longer castigate the U.S. as a go-it-alone bully while still demanding it cure all ills. "Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone," said Obama in comments before a packed U.N. General Assembly hall. "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges." In his first appearance before the group, Obama promised the U.S. would reach out in "a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect," but he also wagged a rhetorical finger at leaders who spend their time at international gatherings excoriating the U.S. He said "an almost reflexive anti-Americanism" that swept the globe under the administration of his predecessor, George W. Bush, is not "an excuse for collective inaction." "Nothing is easier than blaming others for our troubles and absolving ourselves of responsibility for our choices and our actions," he said. And yet, following Obama at the podium was Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who railed against the U.N. Security Council, which includes the U.S., calling it a "terror council" and accusing it of treating smaller nations as "second class, despised." U. S. presidents — Bush included U. S. presidents — Bush included — have come to the United Nations year after year with a wish list of action items and preaching working together. The U.S. is rich and powerful, but cannot solve problems without help, they say, whether Democrat or Republican. So Obama's message was not new. But it was delivered in an unmistakably new, more humble tone. Following a president criticized for making my-way-or-the-highway "requests" of allies, Obama didn't demand so much as he chided and cajoled. It's now an inextricably interconnected world, he said, so that each country's problems become the others' "In the year 2009 — more than "In the year 200 at any point in human history — the interests of nations and peoples are shared." Obama said. Following a president pilloried for arrogance, Obama talked more modestly about the United States. To be sure, he listed American contributions. But this was no "Nothing is easier than blaming others for our troubles and absolving ourselves." BARACK OBAMA President Mideast peace and bringing new energy to the battle against climate change. Obamas world peers that the U.S. has heard the complaints and, under his leadership, is addressing them. That ranges from banning torture to winding down the Iraq war, working to rid the world of nuclear weapons, aggressively murmuring INTERNATIONAL محمد علی شاه ASSOCIATED PRESS Iranian President addresses UN Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad waves to the media before speaking in Tehran, Iran, Monday. He called for global nuclear disarmament during the speech. ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS — Under increasing attack over Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday that Tehran was ready to meet conciliation with conciliation. Ahmadinejad spoke to a half-empty chamber as he sought to cast himself as a champion of the developing world, that he portrayed as under attack from rapacious capitalism. At the same time, the Iranian leader issued stinging attacks on the United States and its allies without calling them by name, prompting a walkout by the U.S. delegation. Ahmadinejad did not mention the uproar over Iran's nuclear program, calling instead for global nuclear disarmament. Moments before he spoke, foreign ministers of six global powers told reporters on the sidelines of the General Assembly that they expect Iran to come clean about its nuclear program. Tougher sanctions against Iran are being considered if talks between the powers and Iran on the issue, set for Oct. 1, don't yield results. At times, Ahmadinejad struck a softer tone, declaring that Tehran was "prepared to warmly shake all those hands which are honestly extended to us." He said Iran is committed to participate in building durable peace and security worldwide, while defending its legitimate and legal rights. The Iranian leader's speech had religious references, invoking the prophets of Judaism and Christianity, as well as Islam.

SAN DIEGO — Federal agents felt trapped when they opened fire on the driver of one of two vans packed with suspected illegal immigrants that barreled toward them at the nation's busiest border crossing, an official said Wednesday. Four people were injured after drivers of three vans stormed past an inspector Tuesday at the San Ysidro border crossing connecting San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. None of the injuries was life-threatening. The drivers were trying to escape onto nearby Interstate 5. But the van got stuck behind cars in an area that funnels vehicles through a few lanes to the freeway. Authorities also activated a system of tire shredders and steel planks that shoot up from the ground at the freeway entrance. Drivers of two of the vans backed up and drove toward another freeway entrance, heading for the agents NO STOPPING ANY TIME CONTROLLED EXIT OBSERVE TRAGIC SURFACE who drew their guns and yelled for the drivers to stop, Rooney said. The agents felt that if they jumped out of the way, they might dodge the first van but not the second, he said. Others in the area may also have been in harm's way, Rooney added. The shooting sparked criticism from some immigrant activists because the officials — two from Customs and Border Protection and one from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — fired in thick afternoon traffic. The American Friends Service Committee said the use of force was excessive. Officials at CBP and ICE declined to comment on whether the shooting was justified. A CBP statement said only that one driver "posed a threat and attempted to flee." Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said in a statement that it was concerned about the incident and was trying to assist the Mexican passengers.

Emergency services responded to hundreds of calls about tree branches brought down by strong winds.

I am very proud of you. I love you. You are the best person in the world. Three men were charged Wednesday, including the day care operator's husband, and authorities were seeking two others. Authorities had initially said four people had been arrested. Nine battered dogs — four of which were puppies — were rescued, police said.

He said it had been licensed since March 2004 and for a capacity of seven children. Dart said approximately 10 children were found in the day care during the raid Tuesday, but they were not in the immediate vicinity of the dogs. Neighbors and authorities say the day care was operated out of the basement of the house and a fenced in play area was in the backyard.

He said there had been a fistfight at The Hawk that involved both football and basketball play ers, shortly after football training camp last year. He said he thought any argu- ments between the programs were uncalled for. "I think it was stupid," Fields said. "I don't even know what would be that serious. Especially in the same athletic department." "I don't know what started the fight last year." Fields said. "I stayed out of all that. But I thought all that had been taken care of." Don Fambrough, former KU football coach, said he, too, was confident in both Mark Mangino's and Bill Self's ability to handle the situation. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Freshman guard Elijah Johnson is escorted out of Wesco Hall by Assistant Athletics Director Sean Lester. Johnson and other teammates left in a van driven by former player Brennan Bechard when police responded to an incident involving members both the basketball and football teams. "If there's anybody guilty in either football or basketball, those two people will take care of it," Fambrough said. "I promise you that. They will not tolerate any nonsense like that." 100 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN WORDS FROM THE TEAMS After the events from the past day, Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins gathered football and basketball players in the Anderson Football Complex. "We all wear KANSAS on our uniforms, and we are proud of that. We need to act like it." Basketball representatives Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich and football representatives Kerry Meier, Todd Reesing, Jake Sharp and Darrell Stuckey collectively released this statement: "We appreciate the support these teams give each other. We'll be in the stands rooting for each other like we always have. "We realize that over the past couple of days we've let a disagreement between a few guys grow bigger than it ever should have. We're embarrassed about that. "Now we want everyone to know that we have met and talked it out. We realize we're all Jayhawks. We're proud of what both teams have accomplished. "We all wear KANSAS on our uniforms, and we're proud of that. We need to act like it. We've met; we'll all on the same page, and we will move forward together. The football team is ready to get back to work, focused on Saturday's game against Southern Mississippi, and the basketball team will continue to prepare for another great season." CONCERNS Despite the teams' reassuring words, some were still worried about the incidents themselves. Taylor Copp, Lawrence sophomore, said he was bothered by the tarnishing effect these incidents would have on the University's image. He said that as the nationally ranked programs were a major source of pride for the University, the actions of these athletes affected the image of the entire KU community. "These players should know they have to control themselves," Copp said. "They have an image for the whole campus, for you and me." Copp said he hoped the KU police would be heavily investigating the altercations. He said the brawl that broke out behind Budig was a disruption of peace and safety for the campus. "We don't need that on our campus," Copp said. "It just seems like the law should be kept." "Is it worth it? This kind of stuff is just stupid." DEXTON FIELDS former KU wide reciever involved to be sure that the average student can't get attacked like this." Aside from the safety issues, many KU fans worry how these fights could affect the performance of the programs this year. Greg Weseloh, Liberty, Mo. senior, said he wry orbed about the attitude of the basketball players toward the upcoming season. "I hope they all keep basketball season in mind," Weseloh said. "It wouldn't be worth to see a key player go out, especially for a key game." "Is it worth it?" Fields said. "This kind of stuff is just stupid." — Edited by Brenna M. T.

The players were seen congregating outside the building near the Investigations also continued for the Tuesday night incident between teams. "We are aware of an incident that occurred last evening that involved members of the football and men's basketball teams" said Athletics Director Lew Perkins. "I am disappointed that some of our student-athletes put themselves in this position, and it's something that I am taking very seriously." Player names and specific injuries have yet to be released by the Athletics Department, though sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor was seen at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Tuesday night after the skirmish.

Monica Dolinsky can't help but laugh recalling the first time she met Julie Hanley. It wasn't at Kansas, where they are now captains of the soccer team, but more than a decade ago at an indoor soccer game in Indiana where, both of their older brothers were playing. It wasn't soccer that the two originally bonded over. Instead, it was Dolinsky's pog-maker. Senior goalkeeper Hanley has "She looked at me with my pog-maker and was like 'uh-uh," said senior midfielder Dolinsky, who was 10 years old at the time. "But then we ended up making pogs in the bathroom while our brothers played." equally vivid recollections of their first encounter. It was fitting that the two met at a soccer game, as soccer has provided the ties for their friendship ever since. Soon after their first meeting, the two joined the same club soccer team and spent plenty of time together, as did their entire families. "She had on green corduroy pants and a reindeer turtleneck with glitter on it," said Hanley. "So instantly I knew she was super cool with that outfit." Dolinsky, a senior, and Hanley, a red-shirt senior, spent much of their childhood with each other, from soccer trips to lake house visits to lemonade stands. Dolinsky said she can't remember a time when they weren't friends. The two continued to remain close, despite attending different schools. Dolinsky changed club teams, but they still played soccer together through the Indiana Olympic Development Program, which helped keep their friendship strong. "In high school we didn't see each other as much, but when I did see her, nothing had changed," said Hanley. "Wed just pick up right where we left off." Hanley graduated high school and left for Kansas a year ahead of Dolinsky. But they kept up correspondence via Facebook, and Hanley persuaded Dolinsky to visit Kansas as well. In fact, her relationship with Hanley was a major reason for Dolinsky's decision to attend the university. "I probably wouldn't have looked at Kansas if it wasn't for her," she said. Two other players from the Indiana ODP program were also on the team at the time: graduates Jessica Bush and Missy Geha. Having familiar faces far from home made the transition smoother for both Dolinsky and Hanley.

Kansas vamp 44-16 after a slow offensive start. If you weren't paying close attention Saturday, you may have missed the initial setup. With Duke pressed into a passing situation on third down, senior defensive end Maxwell Oneygule did his best to blend in with the field's organized commotion. Playing in a zone defensive scheme designed to allow the defensive end to sag in coverage, Onyegbule intercepted Thaddeus Lewis' pass and bolted 48 yards untouched in the opposite direction for a touchdown. t "I guess the quarterback didn't see me," Onyegbule said, smiling, "and it was off to the races." Then, with the flick of an arm, he struck. Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ jayson.Jenkens. During his time at Kansas, a similar pattern has defined Onyegebule's career: Blend in at first, only to appear late. Once a backup used solely in spot situations, Onyegbule is currently one of Kansas' most productive – and disruptive – defensive players. Along with his interception return for a touchdown, Onyegbule has three sacks this season, jarring the comfort level of opposing quarterbacks. Last week, he was named the "In the spring time, I said 'Boy Max has a chance to really blossom this year,' coach Mark Mangino said. "We've only played two games but I think he's going to be a solid player for us. He's talented and the key thing is: He's playing with confidence." co-Big 12 defensive player of the week. During his youth and prep playing days, Onyegebule played exclusively as a linebacker. After arriving at Kansas, though, Mangino and his staff decided that Onyegebule's lanky 6-foot-5 frame would be better suited as a defensive end. That hasn't always been the case. There were some days Onyegbule simply struggled with his proper positioning along the defensive line. Both Mangino and Onyegule acknowledged the transition wasn't smooth. "He wasn't sure of himself," Mangino said. "But you could see every once in a while this flash of brilliance and you knew he could do it. He was a guy that we said we had to be patient with. And we were." Before this season, questions surrounded Kansas's defensive line a unit that heavily struggled a year ago. Those same concerns fell upon Onyegbule, who had never started during his time at Kansas. After one particularly less-than-starller practice during the spring, Onyegbule sat down to talk with defensive line coach Tom Sims. Sims' message was simple. "His big thing was just focus," Onyegbule said. "Don't think, just play."

The implications of Tuesday's and Wednesday's altercations between the men's basketball and football teams are not yet concretely known. What is clear is that this is a joke. What is clear is that this is a joke. It took little time for the news to go viral, spreading from national sports blogs to rival teams' message boards. Kansas became the punch line of the day. A laughing stock. Kansas State and Missouri fans: Fire away, we deserve it. In fact, I'm surprised that what I've read so far isn't as vitriolic as it could be. Where do you go from a 100-plus person fight one night and a mid-morning melee the next day? Do we want to imagine how either side would try matching the throwing of a football player down the stairs outside Budig Hall by one of the Morris twins? Whatever the source of the conflict, be it a girlfriend or pent-up animosity, something is seriously wrong between the football and basketball programs. Let's hope Wednesday morning was rock bottom. Yes, let's hope this is as classless as it can get. Let's hope this sense of childish pride subsidies and the urge to always be "a G about it" is controlled. That quote was among a number of comically stupid status updates posted on Tyshawn Taylor's now-defunct Facebook account. "Keep my name out ya' mouth for you get smacked in it," the junior wordsmith posted Tuesday morning, before he would dislocate a finger in the initial brawl later that night. He later added "real n"***** do real things. point plankn." Rich stuff. This has to be one of the more embarrassing 48-hour periods for Kansas Athletics in a very long time. It also comes during one of the most successful two-year periods in a very, very long time. After football practice Wednesday, coach Mark Mangino indicated that he didn't expect there to be any suspensions, a key bit of news as one of the players questioned by police Wednesday was junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe — who had already been kicked off the team once for academic problems and has a history of offenses to boot. For a while the notion of Briscoe, or any other player, being suspended or dismissed didn't seem unthinkable. It still doesn't. My guess is the Athletics Department is eager to get this washed from its hands. And fast. Athletics director Lew Perkins issued a statement Wednesday after the third tussle, saying, "We will handle any discipline regarding this incident internally." Wish they would've done that Tuesday. Oh to be young again. To play catch with Dad, tailgate before the game and remain blissfully ignorant of the exploits of the player whose jersey draped over my back. It is easy to be cynical at a time like this and overlook the good stories that are to be had in sports. They're still there. Only it's harder to find them through filth like this.

Kansas soccer, meet Jayhawk sports fan. This introduction is a bit overdue, but I really do hope you two hit it off all the same. What's that, Jayhawk sports fan? You say you've been pressured into non-revenue sports relationships before, with less than sparkling results? Oh, I know, I know. Your trepidation is justified. But this is different, really. Kansas soccer is a winner. It's ranked 20 in the nation according to the NSCAA/Adidas National Rankings, with a 7-1-1 record. It just dominated the Jayhawk Invitational last weekend, shutting out both San Diego and South Dakota State while netting nine goals of its own. And that's another thing: Kansas soccer plays the beautiful game in a way that lives up to the moniker. But don't worry, Jayhawk sports fan, you don't need to know your Inter from your Arsenal to appreciate the BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com attacking flair of Kansas soccer. In nine games, the squad averages nearly two and a half goals on just over 17 shots per game. Of those 21 total goals, 18 came via an assist. Now, Kansas soccer, I understand you've got some cause for hesitation, too. You're worried that Jayhawk sports fan's affection is fickle, that it's contingent on continued winning. What happens if you drop a game? Will Jayhawk sports fan bail? And isn't Jayhawk sports fan already committed to Kansas men's basketball anyway? So you know Kansas soccer is unselfish. And with only four yellow cards this season, you know it's not prone to violent outbursts either. Valid concerns all, but not cause for excessive worry. Sure Jayhawk sports fan wants to see wins. So does any fan base — that's how these relationships work. But Jayhawk sports fan is fiercely loyal once you prove yourself a consistent winner. Just ask Kansas football. It wasn't so long ago that it couldn't get a sideways glance from Jayhawk sports fan. Kansas football can also attest to layhawk sports fans' ability to spread the love. There really is more than enough fan adulation for everyone. And if you want specific proof that men's basketball and soccer can successfully co-exist, look to North Carolina. North Carolina women's soccer, currently the nation's top-ranked team, has 19 national championships. North Carolina men's basketball does OK, too.

That changed on Tuesday afternoon when the Jayhawks jumped over Illinois State and finished in second place at the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate in Manhattan. The second place finish is the best so far in Grove's tenure at Kansas. Not only did Grove and the Jayhawks set a new team high, but Barbee had his best career finish as well coming in third place individually. The host school for the tournament, Kansas State, came in first place. "They played really well on their home track and we just couldn't catch them," Nate Barbey, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, said. "Like I say every week, Nate is our rock," Grove said. Barbee, who chalked up a first round score of 69, was in first place after day one. The second day Barbee dropped a few spots, shooting a 73. Barbee missed second place by one stroke and missed first place by just two strokes. "Nate is frustrated because he is so close. He keeps knocking on the door, though," Grove said. First place was not far from Barbee's reach. With just three holes left, Barbee was tied for the lead, but a drive into the trees on hole 16 put him in a tough position. "It was a disappointing finish, but also it is something that I can learn from," Barbee said. Grove said he could feel Barbee's first win coming. "That door is going to open soon," Grove said. "He is going to get a win for us." Walk-on player and the newest addition to the team, Jeff Bell, Wichita freshman, did not crack the official five-man rotation, but he did play as an individual. Bell shot the low round on Tuesday for the entire field with a score of 69. "As a walk-on, what more could you ask for?" Grove said about Bell's play. "I was expecting to play well. Probably nobody else was though." Bell just made the team as a walk-on a few weeks back by getting through a grueling six-day tryout. Now, all of his paper work is in, he has been practicing with the team and he is ready to compete. Bell said. Grove said he was impressed with Bell's play. "That was a surprise for us," Grove said. "But now I think he has a chance get in the lineup and help the team." Barbee echoed Grove's sentiments about Bell's performance. "He did a great job and hopefully he can build on that from here," Barbee said. This was Bell's first collegiate action and he finished fifth individually. "I need to keep in mind that it is not going to be that easy all the time. I can't expect to finish topfive in every tournament; however, that is the goal." Bell said. For most schools and for most college sports, walk-ons are just practice players to fill out the roster. That is not the case here. "I wasn't just trying to make the team," Bell said. "If I'm going to be a part of this team, I want to play in tournaments. Being a walk-on means nothing once you're on the course." Barbee said Bell's performance meant he would get more opportunities to compete. "After that finish, you can't really keep him out of the lineup," Barbee said. The layhawks will get a chance to play on their home course Monday and Tuesday at the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar.

Kolb will make his second straight start for the Eagles if Donovan McNabb can't play against Kansas City. Coach Andy Reid isn't sure whether Jeff Garcia or Michael Vick would be the backup quarterback in that scenario. BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Superman. The Wildcat Originator. Michael Vick has the nicknames ready. All he needs is a chance to play. After spending 18 months in federal prison and sitting out the first two games as the final league penalty for his role in a dogfighting ring, Vick is eligible to play his first regular-season game in 33 months when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback was so excited Wednesday he ran full speed in the morning walkthrough. ASSOCIATED PRESS "I've been watching football from afar the last two years and this is a dream come true to me," Vick said. His role is uncertain because the Eagles have a complicated situation at quarterback. Donovan McNabb did not practice Wednesday because of a broken rib that forced him to miss last Sunday's 48-22 loss to New Orleans. Kevin Kolb would make his second straight start if McNabb, injured in the season opener at Carolina, can't play against the Chiefs. Kolb made his first NFL start against the Saints, throwing for 391 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Coach Andy Reid isn't sure whether Vick or Jeff Garcia would be the backup QB. Reid wouldn't even say that Vick is definitely playing against Kansas City. Vick said he will be in uniform, so that means he'll at least serve as the No. 3 QB. "One thing we do know is I'm going to be dressed up, so that's a great opportunity," Vick said. "This is Andy's team. He's a smart guy. He knows what to do and when he comes up with the game plan. If it doesn't include me, I'm cool. But, I will make sure that mentally I'm aware of what's going on and I'm ready in case something happens. You never know what can happen." When he plays, Vick is expected to run Philadelphia's version of the wildcat offense. The Eagles used that formation nine times against the Saints with three different players taking snaps. Wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and running back Brian Westbrook took handles rolling the ball. Vick is familiar with nontraditional offensive style. During his six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, he was more known for his running ability than his passing skills. He holds several rushing records for QBs, including most yards in a season (1,039) and most career 100-yard games (eight). "I was the Wildcat originator, so it's not foreign territory to me." Vick said. "It's just about making the right decisions and just playing football. It's almost like backyard ball, but it's become quite immense in this league now. Everybody's doing it, so I'm excited about my role." Vick feels his career has been rejuvenated. He certainly doesn't take anything for granted anymore. "My appreciation for the game has changed tremendously," Vick said. "I feel like I missed a lot of football. Me coming into a different system, a system I'm pretty familiar with but a lot of different concepts, I sit back and study harder, I try to watch more film and do all the things that are going to help me once I step out on the football field."

Kansas improved to 8-3 (1-1) while Oklahoma fell to 9-3 (2-1) in the back and forth battle at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. "I don't think anybody walked away here without thinking they got their money's worth," coach Ray Bechard said. T While the fans may not have known the outcome of the match until the end, junior outside hitter Karina Garlington said she knew the team would win. "I felt like we always had control of the match," Garlington said. "I felt like every single person on the team was thinking we've got this, and 'losing is not an option.'" Garlington had a powerful offensive night, racking up 28 kills. It is the ninth time that Garlington has had double-digit kills in a match this season. Right behind her was senior middle blocker Paige Mazour with 14 kills, sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield with 13 kills and Follow Kansan volleyball writer ZachGetz at twitter.com/zgetz sophomore outside hitter Lauren Hagan with 10. "We had some people really pick it up," Bechard said. "We need it that way if we want to have the kind of season we want to have." Kansas out-dug Oklahoma 96-91 and Kansas tallied 76 kills for the night compared with Oklahoma's 68. Kansas started the match sloppily, falling behind 1-6 very early, and never got on track in the first set. The Jayhawks did fight back late, but could not overcome eight errors and Oklahoma's strong offense. The lost the set 21-25. Kansas regrouped and came out strong in the second set pulling ahead 8-3 early. The two sets seemed to mirror each other as Oklahoma committed seven errors and Kansas came out hitting the ball hard. Kansas kept Oklahoma at bay winning the set 25-20. Kansas started out slow in the third set but a few high-energy kills allowed Kansas to rally and go on a 4-0 run and take the lead in the middle of the set. Oklahoma battled back, quickly tying the game 15-15. Kansas kept face and won the set 25-22. The fourth set started out very even. Every time Kansas tried to pull away, Oklahoma had an answer. Kansas went on a four-point run to take the lead 19-17, but Oklahoma fought back to tie it up 23-23. Kansas again had a chance to win the set late, but had trouble putting Oklahoma away and lost the set 25-27. The fifth set picked up where the fourth set left off with a back and forth battle for match point. After being tied up at 10-10, Kansas scored five in a row to put Oklahoma away for the night. Mazour said the win felt good and was important to help get the team back on track. "Any time it's five sets and at home, you have to get that win," said Mazour.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN MLB CR ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jason Marquis reacts as San Diego Padres Will Venable, background, rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run to lead off the second inning of a baseball game in Denver on Wednesday. The Padres beat Colorado 6-3. Rockies pitcher upbeat despite loss to Padres ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Jason Marquis is running out of time to find his missing sinker. The Rockies' All-Star right-hander had trouble with his release point and took the loss Wednesday night when the San Diego Padres beat Colorado 6-3. "Oh, plenty of time." Marquis insisted. "I'll work hard in between starts, try to get the feel back. I might lighten up my throwing a little bit, we're so deep into the season. I'll watch some film, throw a nice light 'pen and try to get my feel back for the bottom of the strike zone." Hell have two more starts to try to help the Rockies reach the playoffs. That would start with a win over San Diego on Thursday night when the Rockies send right-hander Jason Hammel (9-8) to the mound against lefty Clayton Richard (8-5). "If we win the rest of our series, nobody catches us," manager Jim Tracy declared. With 10 games left, the Rockies' hearts aren't racing just yet. The Rockies' lead in the NL wild-card race was whittled to four games over Atlanta, which beat New York 5-2, and San Francisco, which beat Arizona 5-2. Then, former Rockies slugger Matt Holliday makes his first visit to Coors Field as an opponent when the St. Louis Cardinals come to Colorado for a three-game series. There's a chance the Cards will clinch a playoff spot at their hotel Thursday night, if the Chicago Cubs lose at San Francisco. That could change the competitiveness of their weekend series at Coors Field. By not swinging at Marquis' off-target sinkers early in the count, they forced him to rely on his secondary pitches that caught more of the plate. As the Padresproved Wednesday night, though, nothing's coming easy for the Rockies. "That's been the thing that I've been working on the last couple of days, just trying to tighten up the zone a little bit, just wait for the pitch I know I can hit," Venable said. That patience paid off, especially for Will Venable, who hammered a flat slider for his 12th homer and added a three-run triple off a meaty pitch in the fifth, giving San Diego a 5-0 lead. "I just wasn't getting ahead," he said. "If I get ahead, it really doesn't matter what the other team's game plan is. I was falling behind, too many hitters' counts and I had to come back to the middle of the plate more times than I wanted to." MLB Marquis allowed six runs, five of them earned, on five hits and five walks before leaving with two outs in the fifth, failing for the third time to win his career-best 16th game. His four RBIs tied a career high and helped the Padres snap Colorado's eight-game home winning streak. Hitting so poorly early in the season that people questioned his eyesight, Ortiz is back to blasting balls out of the ballpark as the Red Sox move closer to the postseason. Despite a measly .234 average, Big Papi has a respectable 25 homers and 88 RBIs — just as manager Terry Francona predicted back in May. Ortiz shines as Red Sox beat Royals David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs, and Josh Beckett allowed two runs over six innings to lift the Red Sox to a 9-2 win over the Kansas City Royals 6-2 Wednesday night. "I remember saying look up in the end, his batting average is going to be lower and he has to live with that," Francona said. "As long as he doesn't walk to the plate looking at that, he'll be OK. That's what has happened." ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Big Papi is getting big hits again and it couldn't come at a better time for the Boston Red Sox. Ortiz drove in one run with a single in Boston's six-run fifth inning, then added a three-run homer off Carlos Rosa to give the Red Sox three players with 25 homers in the same season for the first time since 2003. Jason Bay and lacoby Ellsbury each drove in two runs and Beckett (16-6) limited the damage from 12 hits with seven strikeouts, giving Boston 90 wins for the third "Everything's based on results this time of year," Beckett said. "That's just the way you have to look at it. straight season. home winning streak end. The difference for the Royals came down to a few pitches. Boston took advantage "It's just a matter of making pitches in key situations," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Unfortunately, when you're facing a lineup like that and when you miss even by a little bit, it comes back to bite you." Wanting to get more pop in the lineup, Francona had Victor Martinez behind the plate instead of its chances against Hochevar, Kansas City didn't against Beckett. "It's just a matter of making pitches in key situations." Yuniesky Betancourt had a runscoring triple among his three hits and Mitch Maier also had three hits, but the Royals stranded 12 runners to see their six-game TREY HILLMAN Royals manager of Beckett's usual battery mate, Jason Varitek. He tried it once before and it didn't work out too well: Beckett allowed seven earned runs in 5 1-3 innings against Toronto on Aug. 18. Francona was Francona was willing to try it again with Varitek struggling — .156, one homer since the All-Star break — and Martinez on a career-best 21-game hitting streak. with a single in the fifth inning. He wasn't bad behind the plate, either, helping guide Beckett through some shaky moments. Martínez did his part with the bat, extending his hitting streak The right-hander had trouble from the start, allowing two runners in each of the first three innings. Beckett wriggled out of those jams, then gave up two runs in the fourth on Betancourt's triple and a flare RBI single to right by David Desus. The next half inning changed everything. Held to one run over the first four innings, the Red Sox unloaded on Hochevar in the fifth, scoring six runs on seven hits to go up 6-2. Ellsbury drove in two with a triple and Bay had the biggest blow on the softest hit, floating a two-run single into short left field with the bases loaded. Pitching with a cushion, Beckett had his first perfect inning in the bottom half, then got Billy Butler on a fly to right with two on to end the sixth. He was done after that, leaving with a 6-2 lead, another win against the Royals.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: K equals O Travolta testifies on autistic son's death ASSOCIATED PRESS NASSAU. Bahamas — John Travolta said Wednesday he tried to save the life of his seizure-prone son and made perhaps his first public description of the boy as autistic as he testified in the trial of two people accused of trying to blackmail him. Police say the alleged scheme involved a document related to Jett's treatment. With his wife Kelly Preston looking on inside the Nassau courtroom, Travolta said that he performed CPR on his son after a nanny alerted him the teen had fallen ill at a family vacation home on Grand Bahama island. Jett Travolta later died from a seizure. "I ran down stairways with my wife to help my son." Travola said. Travolta is the star witness at the trial of two people — paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former Bahamas senator Pleasant Bridgewater — who are accused of trying to extort $25 million from the movie star. Both defendants pleaded innocent to extortion charges at the trial that began Monday in this island chain off the Florida coast. Travolta testified that he and Preston were awakened by a nanny around 10:15 a.m. on Jan. 2, the day of Jets' death. Travolta said when he went downstairs, another caretaker was doing chest compressions and he began administering breathing help. Travolta also said — apparently for the first time in public — that 16-year-old Jett was autistic, confirming speculation that had swirled for years. The developmental disorder is frequently accompanied by seizures. The actor said Jett suffered seizures every five to 10 days. Travolta, 55, has kept a low profile since Jett's death. He skipped promotional events this summer for his latest film, "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3."

The clamp down on fees seems like the appropriate action in a continually difficult economic environment, but Student Senate and groups in general should be careful to make sure that every dollar of the $742,000 allocated for student groups this year yields a maximum effect. For Student Senate, and specifically members of the finance committee, this requires a sense of restraint that seems to have been lacking in the past. During the Fall 2008 semester, Student Senate quickly distributed nearly all of the money allocated for campus and community groups. According to former Student Senate treasurer Alex Porte, the problem arose from a "huge jump in demand" coupled with a lack of proper budgeting, especially by members of the Student Senate's finance committee. Student Senate appears to have learned some valuable lessons following last year's experience. According to current treasurer Mitch Knopp, Student Senate KANSAN'S OPINION NICHOLAS SAMBALUK concerning transparency and merit in the funding process. es, were going to have to be more selective," Knopn said. This approach has allowed Student Senate to retain $115,000 of its budget for requests later, an improved situation from last year. It also allows the finance committee and Student Senate in general to exercise appropriate flexibility, allowing some groups to be funded fully or allow only marginal cuts in order to spread the pain. Though this choosy approach has helped bring restraint and savings to the Student Senate campus and community group allocation system, it also raises questions In an e-mail to The Kansan, Knopp explained that the finance committee does take into account "the number of students that the event or organization will affect, the location of the event... (and) the success of the These are plausible guidelines for the use of student funds, but it is difficult to tell how Student Senate has applied them, especially when it is picking and choosing which groups to fund and what levels. Student Senate, and its finance committee, should be recognized for pulling back from the brink they approached last year. By making targeted cuts in areas such as campus and community groups, Student Senate has been able to hold the line on increased fees in an environment that has events in the past." left no one unaffected by tough budgets. In order to continue with this newfound restraint, a true change in the culture of student government is necessary. Student Senate should adopt a new mentality in budgeting by attempting to restrain the sprawl of legislation that has developed. This could mean limiting the amount of legislation in one semester. Students need to think about how their student government is run at the University, first by reviewing where their money is spent. With a new approach from Student Senate and a new engagement from students, it might be possible to reinvigorate discourse in student government. — Alex Doherty for the Kansan Editorial Board LGBT Intersex athletes face unfair regulations Prove you are a woman or man. Right now. Why are you hesitating? This could decide whether you keep the gold medal for the 800-meter race you just won with a remarkable time. World 800 meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa had to. She is the latest of professional athletes whose participation and achievements are in limbo because of their biological makeup. Specifically, the Herald referred to Semenya as a hermaphrodite, an incorrect label and a physical impossibility, as "hermaphrodite" refers to someone being fully male and fully female. Though the official results won't be made public until November, recent statements from anonymous sources within the IAAF and Semenya's managing staff leave little room for doubt that she is indeed intersexed. Semenya has undergone gender tests ordered by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) according to the Sydney Morning Herald in an article published earlier this month. According to the Intersex Society of North America (ISNA), 'Intersex' is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions QUEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN The IAAF does not permit an athlete to participate in regulated events if his or her sex does not fit the "categories" required to pass as that sex. What this could mean for Semenya and any other female athlete testing "male" positive, is that her body is performing under female requirements as a male and is therefore ineligible to compete as a woman no matter if she feels and acts like one. of female or male." This brings up the ever-present controversy surrounding those who are intersexed. Which sex do you choose when some people choose to live their lives in a balance of male and female? What if you look like one sex, but you feel like the gender your sex does not necessarily represent? So what does this mean for people whose intersex traits aren't as noticeable as Semenya's? Should they be penalized for how their body formed at birth? For their genetic construction? Tragically, in the case of athletes such as Semenyah, how you feel about your gender doesn't matter if your sex is different. Other people get to decide where you lie on the sex scale. Babies born with physically noticeable intersex traits often have those "fixed" so they fit the social idea of that biological sex. (I say "fixed" with incredible disdain, because I do not see this as a problem.) All of this controversy surrounding Semenya's sex began when her defeated rivals complained and called her a man after she won. Bornstein is a Lawrence senior in sociology and women's studies. By performing these gender tests on Semenya and other female athletes, the IAAF forces them to prove something they shouldn't have to by punishing those people who have done nothing but excel in their sport with the body they were born into. The real people who should be punished are the other players for poor sportsmanship. You are already an incredible athlete if you are competing in a World Championship. Why accuse another athlete of not being "female enough" and scar her reputation? Tips for successful résumé writing So your four-to-nine year college tenure is reaching Though unlike Nixon, you will not be receiving a pardon, and you will not be able to make a living off your memoirs, at least until the gag order is up. That means it's time to write a resumé. I'm here to help. In addition to the many public services this column already provides the student body. I am devoting this week's column to holding a resume workshop for those of you preparing to join the proud, frantic and dwindling American labor force. As our economy continues its terrifying downward careen from its former height, your resume becomes your parachute. When trying to fashion a niche for yourself among the screams and molten wreckage of this economic fall, it's important that your parachute be bright and memorable. This is so that park rangers or coast guard personal can see you, should you be lucky enough to land within the reach of civilization — and if civilization should still exist by the time of your graduation. Once you begin writing your résumé, the most important question to ask yourself is, "What do I have to offer a potential employer, and what would a potential employer need me to make up so that they can easily discern this from my résumé?" And here we have our first lesson in résumé writing: Metaphors are an excellent way to help a job recruiter understand you and your life. Metaphors are the poet's currency and the résumé writer's defense argument in fraud trials. 400 WORDS TO FREEDOM BEN UNGLESBEE And use exclamation points! Yes! I am *Ben Unglesbee*! And I want to work for YOU!! The header on your résumé is your entrance into the life of a potential employer. Come out swinging and frothing at the mouth, so he or she has an immediate understanding of your dedication. Did you notice the bold, underlined and the italicized font used for my name? Of course you did. This is how my name reads on my own résumé and it's what we résumé gurus call the "trifecta." Once you begin outlining your job history, the most important question to ask yourself is this: What do I have to offer a potential employer, and what would a potential employer need me to make up so that they can easily discern this from my résumé? Put yourself in the shoes of a potential employer. Would you want to read about someone who has wasted the years of their youth working in demeaning retail positions, or would you rather read about the gruesome exploits of an octagon fighter? But don't forget that a résumé is also a visual medium. To jazz things up visually, and to lend credibility to your claim of 37 octagon victories, you might try adding just a couple of dollops of human blood to the bottom of your résumé. But not your own blood, of course — that would be highly unprofessional. Unglesbee is a Overland Park senior in creative writing and economics.

The art of Kumdo/Kendo focuses on mental agility as well as strength. The KU Kumdo/Kendo club teaches students the art of sword fighting. It was used by Swordai to practice and develop their skills outside of combat. But, there is more to Kumdo/Kendo than violent attacks made on the opponent with the shinai, a bamboo sword. There is also a mental aspect to the sport. To score a point in competition the attacker must correctly call out, in Japanese, the part of the body as they strike it. He or she shouts out "Men" for strikes to the head, "Kote" for strikes to the wrist, and "Do" for strikes to the stomach. Eunmok Lee,aKorean doctorate. student in geography, serves as the Sensei who teaches the club. Lee said that the hardest part is "controlling yourself physically and mentally" But, it can also be very rewarding. "When I hit the head correctly, I get a big joy because it is a beautiful performance," Lee said. Both Amie Vo, Wichita junior, and Sungwon Park, a visiting scholar from Korea, agree that striking an opponent can also be a good way to take out stress from the school day. Dr. Park said his favorite part was "the stress relief of the competition." Some members of the club, like Park and Lee, joined after initially playing the sport back home in Korea. Park explained the biggest differences between the sport here and in Korea. "Back home we usually practice on the floor instead of the mat." Park said. "And there is a big mirror to see the reflection of your motion, but otherwise the room is very good." Lee explains the cultural differences in training. WANT TO FIGHT? WHO: Kumdo/Kendo club WHAT: meetings WHEN: Mondays and Wednesdays, 9 p.m. - 11 p.m. WHERE: Martial Arts room at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center "In Korea you can practice almost five or six times a week," Lee said. "Here the main goal is pursuing degrees so we only meet two times a week." There are other members who are new to the sport and have only started since coming to Kansas.. "I saw it one day while running on the track and decided to check it out," Arlo Osler, Anderson County freshman, said. — Edited by Anna Kathagnarath NBA Russia's richest man plans on buying New Jersey Nets A. C. R. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov speaks at a news conference in Moscow, May 31. 2007. Prokhorov said Tuesday on his blog that he sent team shareholders an offer over the weekend MOSCOW — Russia's richest man, a 6-foot-6-inch (1.98-meter) amateur basketball player who made billions in metals, says he wants to buy the New Jersey Nets in exchange for funding the team's troubled plans to build an area in Brooklyn. Mikhail Prokhorov wrote Tuesday on his blog that he wants to improve Russian basketball by getting access to NBA training methods and sending Russian coaches for internships in the league. Prokhorov said that he sent team shareholders an offer over the weekend. Under the proposal, Prokhorov's holding company Onexim would obtain a controlling share in the NBA team in return for loaning the money to build a new arena. The posting says the controlling shares would be obtained for "a symbolic price." Nets owner Bruce Ratner faces a crucial December deadline for his plan to build an arena in Brooklyn and move his team there in 2011. The construction needs to break ground by then or lose access to the tax-free bonds financing the project. Prokhorov, who owns a share in the Russian basketball team CSKA, has an estimated fortune of $9.5 billion. said Wednesday that "we do not have a comment as of yet." Ratner spokesman Joe DePlasco MLB Gardner scores tiebreaking run, Yankees celebrate victory over Angels BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. — Brett Gardner scored the tiebreaking run on Alex Rodriguez's sacrifice fly in the ninth, and the New York Yankees celebrated clinching their 14th playoff appearance in 15 seasons Tuesday night with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Rodriguez homered and drove in three runs before Mariano Rivera earned his 41st save for the yankees, who were guaranteed a return to the postseason about 55 minutes before the last out in Anaheim when oakland beat the Texas Rangers 9-1. The Yankees blew a 5-0 lead before rallying to win for the first time in five games this season at Angel Stadium, where they've still lost 18 of 24. Phil Hughes (8-3) allowed the Angels' tying, unearned run in the eighth on Maicer Izturis' RBI single. Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon and their teammates are back in the postseason after staying home last fall in manager Joe Girardi's debut campaign. The Yankees won 17 playoff series and four World Series titles in a 13-year span after 1994, but New York hasn't won a championship since 2000 or even a playoff series since the 2004 division series, losing four straight. These Yankees are likely to be in prime position to end that streak. They also have a six-game lead over Boston in the AL East and a $ 5 \frac{1}{2} $-game edge on the Angels for homefield advantage at the new Yankee Stadium throughout the postseason. Chone Figgins homered for the Angels, who had won four of five. Los Angeles still has a $7 \frac{1}{2} $ -game lead on the Rangers in the AL West, but its magic number stayed at six for clinching its third straight division title. The Yankees took a five-run lead in the fifth inning after early homers from Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui, but Los Angeles chipped away with several typical small-ball rallies, tying it when Izturis drove home Howie Kendrick with a single over the drawn-in infield in the eighth. Gardner led off the ninth with a single and stole second on a pitchout, thanks to a poor throw by fourth-string Angels catcher Ryan Budde. After Matt Palm (10-2) walked letter and Mark Teixeira was an intentional walk from Darren Oliver to load the bases with one out, Rodriguez's drive was deep enough to get Gardner home. Rivera's streak of 36 consecutive saves ended last Friday in Seattle with only his second blown save of the year, but Posada threw out pinch-runner Reggie Willits trying to steal second base after Juan Rivera struck out in the ninth. The Yankees hit their homers off Los Angeles starter Ervin Santana, who yielded nine hits in six innings.

J w o h B t al r th st re hi ca sh sa ev th L.d so THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 SPORTS 7B NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS 10 92 Dumervil perfect fit in 3-4 defense Cleveland Browns' quarterback Brady Quinn (10) is sacked by Denver Broncos' Elvis Dumervil (92) during the fourth quarter in Denver. Denver beat Cleveland 27-6. Dumervil has successfully moved from defensive end to outside linebacker in the Broncos' new 3-4 scheme. ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With his long arms and low center of gravity, Elvis Dumervil was just the hybrid player the Denver Broncos were coveting for their conversion to a 3-4 scheme. Initially, Dumervil balked at Convincing him, though, took some work. being moved to outside linebacker in defensive coordinator Mike Nolan's new formation. He liked his defensive end spot, had perfected some pretty good rush moves from there. " still have a lot to learn. But I feel like I am going the right direction." Any reservations Dumervil may have had went out the window Sunday, when he sacked Cleveland's Brady Quinn four times to tie a franchise mark. Maybe this system does suit his style? "I still have a lot to learn," Dumervil said. "But I feel like I am going the right direction." Dumervil is giving opposing offensive linemen fits trying to figure him out. He's 5-foot-11 with a massive wing span and lots of speed. Push him to the outside? He'll use his quickness to get to the quarterback. ELVIS DUMERVIL Broncos linebacker Try to knock him to the turf? He's already so low, he simply bounces right back up. Bottle him up? He'll use his leverage advantage to gain separation. "I've always had tremendous respect for him," Oakland coach Tom Cable said. "He's always a handful. He's a competitor and he brings it every snap ... To me, this was not really a 'breakout game. I think this guy has been a good player for a while." He's been trying to convince everyone of that for years. So he wound up at the University of Louisville, where he had 20 sacks his senior year and captured the Bronko Nagurski Award, given to the nation's best defender. Dumervil had 78 sacks at Jackson High School in Miami, but wasn't highly recruited. His size scared some schools away. Again, he wasn't highly sought after, slipping into the fourth round of the 2006 draft, where the Broncos selected him to bolster their lackluster pass rush. He paid the faith with 8 1/2 sacks in his rookie season. Now four years in, he has 30 career sacks. "He plays with a chip on his shoulder," linebacker Andrea Davis said. "He goes out there each and every week and proves he can get the job done. I watched him at Louisville — 20 sacks in one season? You don't just stumble across those type of numbers." Kenny Peterson towers over Dumervil and weighs nearly 50 pounds more. Peterson, not Dumervil, looks more like the prototypical defensive lineman. Still, Peterson can't help but be a little envious of Dumervil, whose frame is perfectly streamlined to get to the quarterback in a hurry. "After every game, we sit and "How do you do it?" Peterson said. "It's something he can't really explain." What it boils down to is leverage. Dumervil gets so low that he creeps underneath a bigger player's pads. From there he simply pushes them aside and pursues the quarterback aside and pursues the quarterback. At least that's what Nolan has observed. "He's short, so he plays from a leverage standpoint often," Nolan said. "He's also a good competitor. He accepts the challenge very well." The challenge this offseason was daunting to Dumervil. Learning how to play from a stand-up position took some getting used to. But the 3-4 alignment allows him to move around more, placing him into positions where he can utilize his leverage and speed. "He's short, so he plays from a leverage standpoint often." ("Nolan) allows you to go out there and make plays. He is very aggressive." Dumervil said. "A lot MIKE NOLAN Denver Broncos defensive coordinator of guys are making plays, and he tries to put each person in a situation to try to make the best of the talent ... I couldn't be happier." He's also serving as a mentor. Rookie Robert Ayers was in a similar boat as Dumervil, adjusting "The one thing I learned from him is he looks at football and his job differently than most people," Ayers said. "He's taught me so much about how to rush the passer and study other people. Just things that you take for granted." to life as a hybrid defensive endlinebacker. He frequently asked Dumervil for advice. Kind of like the diminutive Dumervil. Quentin leads Detroit past Indians MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND Carlos Guillen hit two of Detroit's three home runs to help Rick Porcelio and the Tigers defeat Cleveland 11-3 on Wednesday night, the Indians' season-high 10th straight loss. Porcello (14-9) allowed one run and six hits over five innings as the Tigers won their third straight. Detroit entered play 2½ games ahead of Minnesota in the AL Central. The Twins open a four-game series in Detroit on Monday. Guillen tied a season high with four RBIs. He hit a two-run home in the third off right-hander Justin Masterson (4-9) and connected on the second pitch from left-hander Mike Gosling to make it 9-1 in the fifth. It was the fourth time in his career the switch-hitter went deep from both sides and his seventh multihomer game overall. Detroit Porcellio walked three ane struck out one to go to 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four starts against Cleveland. The 20-year-old is the youngest pitcher to go 3-0 in a season against the Indians since Milt Pappas of Baltimore in 1958, also at age 20. Miguel Cabrera had a two-run homer, a 440-foot shot into the bleachers in left-center in the fourth, for Detroit. The Tigers got four straight hits and took advantage of a throwing error by first baseman Andy Marte to take a 4-0 lead in the first. Detroit Tigers designated hitter Carlos Guillen is congratulated after hitting a solo home run off the Cleveland Indians Wednesday. The Tigers won 11-3. Cabrera drove in one run with a single and Aubrey Huff's RBI double made it 2-0 with one out. Guillen then grounded to Marte, who threw wildly trying to get Cabrera scoring from third. Brandon Inge made it 4-0 with a groundout. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Indians loaded the bases in the first two innings, but scored only one run, on Travis Hafner's fielder's choice grounder in the first.

The Reds beat the Pirates 12-2. Votto excels as Reds beat Pirates ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Joe Votto went 4 for 5 and scored three runs, Homer Bailey allowed two runs in six innings and the Cincinnati Reds continued the Pittsburgh Pirates' losing ways with a 12-2 win Wednesday night. Brandon Phillips, Scott Rolen, Jay Bruce, Launch Nix and Corky Miller each had two RBIs for the Reds, who have won seven of nine. The Pirates are 3-22 in their past 25, having lost five in a row. They have allowed 33 runs the past three games. Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen had two hits and scored a run. Since beating the Pirates at PNC Park Aug. 23, Bailey (6-5) is 4-1 with a 1.99 ERA — three of those victories coming against Pittsburgh. He allowed four hits and three walks Wednesday, meaning he has allowed only 12 baserunners and two runs in 13 innings. Votto had two doubles and two singles and is 7 for 9 during the series. He is hitting .458 in his past 13 games. Paul Janish scored on a Phillips groundout in the first, and the Reds' three runs in the third came courtesy a Votto RBI ground-rule double, Phillips run-scoring single and a Rolen sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh's Garrett Jones scored on a Brandon Moss sacrifice fly in the fourth. The Pirates got another run via sacrifice飞 the following inning, this time with Jones driving in McCutchen. The Reds scored four in the fifth off of Kevin Hart on an RBI single by Rolen, a Bruce two-run single and a Nix RBI groundout. Hart (4-8) was charged with eight runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 1-3 innings with two strikeouts. The Pirates are 1-8 when he starts, having lost the past six. Hart is 1-7 with a 6.93 ERA since joining Pittsburgh in a July 30 trade with the Chicago Cubs. The Reds added one in the seventh and three in the ninth off of Virgil Vazquez. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Perry emerges as Tigers' main receiving threat ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Wide receiver Jared Perry has had ups and downs during his career at Missouri, but for his senior season, he's emerging as one of the Tigers' biggest threats. At 6-1 and 175 pounds, Perry has bulked up substantially from the 148-pound who arrived as a freshman. Through the first three games, Perry leads Missouri (3-0) in receiving yards with 309 and touchdowns with four. He's second on the team with 17 catches, behind Danario Alexander's 20. "I think my mindset wasn't the same," Perry said as the Tigers prepare to play at Nevada (0-2) on Friday. "I probably thought I made it my freshman year, which I didn't. I should have kept going and it showed on the field." Perry was named Missouri's top freshman in 2006 after catching 37 passes for 429 yards and three touchdowns. But he followed that up with a disappointing 13-catch season in 2007, with no scores. Part of Perry's sophomore slump had to do with who else was on the field. Between Jeremy Maclin, Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman, all of whom are now playing in the NFL, there just wasn't enough football to go around. "I always want the ball but as long as we were winning I can't get too mad,” Perry said. “I just put my little piece of the puzzle in” His upswing began last season, when he caught 41 passes for 567 yards and four touchdowns, though he was still overshadowed by Maclin, Coffman and Tommy Saunders, who combined for more than 3,000 receiving yards. This season got off to a rocky start when Perry dropped two balls in the preseason scrimmage and dropped to No. 2 on the depth chart. It didn't keep him down. "I just had a bad scrimmage" Perry said. "I knew I had to reevaluate myself and go out there the next day of practice and show them the mistake that they made by moving me down." Alexander, who has had his fair share of struggles, too, talked to Perry during that period. "He knew that he had to step up and I just told him to keep his head up," Alexander said. "He knew he had to come back and work hard to get his spot back." "What doesn't break you makes you stronger," Perry said. "Having those seasons made me better." So far, so good. MIZZOU PEAM 9 Alexander agreed. "Me and J.P. have been through a lot here coming in as receivers together," he said. "For us to both excel on the field, it means a great deal to us." Missouri receiver Jared Perry, left, celebrates with teammate Wes Kemp, right, after Perry scored a touchdown during the first quarter against Furman Saturday. The loss of standout players such as Jeremy Maclin and Cochase Faffin have given more opportunities to Perry. ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Ethier's error costly in Dodgers loss to Nationals WASHINGTON — Andre Ethier booted pinch-hitter Pete Orr's fly to right field in the ninth inning, allowing Justin Maxwell to score, and the Washington Nationals averted their 100th loss of the season with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. Maxwell started the decisive rally with a single down the left-field line off James McDonald (5-5) to open the ninth. Alberto Gonzalez bunted Maxwell to second and Maxwell stole third before Jorge Padailla walked. Orr hit a fly to medium right and the ball bounced off the Eth ier's glove as he backtracked and Maxwell scored. Orr was credited with a sacrifice fly and Ethier was given an error on the play. The Dodgers' magic number to clinch a spot in the postseason remained at two. Any combination of Los Angeles victories and Colorado losses totaling seven will give the Dodgers the NL West title for a second straight season, a feat last accomplished in 1977-78. Saul Rivera (1-3) got two outs for the victory after the Dodgers had tied it 4-all against Nationals closer Mike MacDougal. Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley had a no-hitter for 52-3 innings before Ryan Zimmerman hit a tying three-run homer. MLB Associated Press Home run ensures Brewers victory 82 ASSOCIATED PRESS Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder hits a two-run home run during the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday. The home run was Fielder's 42nd of the season. The Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2. MILWAUKEE — Prince Fielder hit his 42nd homer to give him a majors-best 131 RBIs and rookie Chris Narveston struck out 10 for his first win as a starter, helping the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday night. ASSOCIATED PRESS Jody Gerut homered for the Brewers, who avoided a three-game sweep but had been eliminated from the postseason on Tuesday. Chicago is still mathematically alive since St. Louis lost 3-0 to Houston, but the Cardinals clinched at least a tie for the NL central title and now have a magic number of one. The Cubs dealt with the Milton Bradley distraction for another day.

The Astros' 24-year-old rookie shut out the Cardinals for the second time and St. Louis missed a chance to capture the NL Central in a 3-0 loss to the Astros on Wednesday night. The magic number for St. Louis dropped **1** one when the Cubs lost in Milwaukee before this game ended. But Norris (6-3) pitched six shutout innings and Jose Valverde pitched a scoreless ninth for his 28th save. The Cardinals had 25 cases of champagne waiting in the clubhouse, but the bottles will remain corked for at least another day. St. Louis can clinch the division from their hotel in Colorado on Thursday, a day off, if the Cubs lose the opener of a weekend series in San Francisco. The Cardinals open a series against the Rockies on Friday. Carlos Lee drove in two runs for the Astros, who snapped a nine-game streak. John Smoltz (1-2) gave up two runs on five hits. The Cardinals mustered only seven hits after reaching 15 in the first two games in Houston. Norris gave up four hits and two walks in the first three innings, but the Cardinals stranded all six runners. Kazuo Matsui led off the Houston half of the third with a double to the left-field corner. Matsui advanced on Norris' bunt and scored on Miguel Tejada's two-out single for a 1-0 lead. The Astros ended the fourth and sixth innings with double plays as the Cardinals continue to have problems with Norris. The right-hander won his major league debut in St. Louis on Aug. 2, allowing two hits in seven shut-out innings. Tejada doubled in the Astros' sixth, took third on Lance Berkman's flyout and came home on Lee's sacrifice fly to deep left to make it 2-0. St. Louis had the tyring run at the plate after Colby Rusmus beat out an infield single with one in the eighth against LaTroy Hawkins. Albert Pujols lined out and Matt Holliday grounded into a fielder's choice. Dennys Reyes walked the speedy Michael Bourn with no outs in the eighth and Ryan Franklin relieved. Franklin struck out Tejada, but then threw a wild pitch to Berkman, allowing Bourn to take second. Berkman was intentionally walked before Lee bloomed an RBI single to center.

Five of the eight hits were for extra bases. It's the second time this season the Blue Jays have swept the Orioles. They also did it May 1-3 at Rogers Centre. TORONTO — Travis Snider homered and had two RBIs, Scott Richmond won for the first time since June 24 and the Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep, beating the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 on Wednesday night. Baltimore lost its season-high seventh straight and lost for the eighth time in nine games in Toronto this season. The Orioles have been outscored 48-19 over their losing streak. Baltimore first baseman Michael Aubrey opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the second, his first of the season.

ATLANTA — Heath Slocum is in danger of losing his PGA Tour card a month ago. Now he has a chance to win $10 million from the FedEx Cup if he were to win the Tour Championship. Associated Press His fortunes have changed. But not his priorities. Woods is not likely to ever miss the Deutsche Bank Championship, which benefits his foundation. He has a long history with the Western Golf Association, which runs the BMW Championship at Cog Hill, where Woods has won five times. Slocum donated $40,000 on Wednesday to three charities associated with the Tour Championship. The East Lake Foundation will receive $20,000, while the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and the Chron's and Colitis Foundation each get $10,000. Given his five victories before the playoffs began, and a system of cumulative points until the Tour Championship, Woods could have skipped all three playoff events and still been the No.3 seed at East Lake. Baltimore rookie Matt Wieters led off the fifth with a towering homer to right, his eighth, a drive that hit the facing of the third deck. "We're in a good position to help out," Slocum said. "This is something that we've been talking about for a while, and I'm glad that we could do that this week. There are so many great organizations that help so many people. Like I said, I'm just glad that we could even be a small part of it." Snider restored Toronto's three-run lead with a solo shot to left in the sixth, his ninth. Wednesday brought another scenario that only made him smile. Even so, the idea that having a big regular season allows him to miss a playoff event raises questions about whether he'll be at The Barclays next year. Then, all he would have had to do is win the Tour Championship. ATLANTA — Tiger Woods was jolted at the start of the playoffs to learn he could win all three playoff events, finish second at the Tour Championship and still not win the FedEx Cup. The tour has been promoting its players individual charity work since launching a campaign in May called, "Together, Anything's Possible" Commissioner Tim Finchem said Slocum's donation was another example. Part of the charity is personal. Slocum has suffered from ulcerative colitis for the last 10 years. Since moving to the Atlanta area from the Florida Panhandle, he has been working with the Georgia chapter of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation to find a cure. Tiger could skip playoff events in current system LPGA Ochoa can't match success from past years ASSOCIATED PRESS DANVILLE, Calif. — Lorena Ochoa is running out of tournaments in a startlingly average season for a player who won 21 times in the previous three years. Since winning the Corona Championship in her native Mexico in late April for her second victory of the year, the top-ranked Ochoa is winless in 10 starts. "It's not easy so. That's why I need to work harder," Ochoa said Wednesday. "That's why I need to start playing better and do whatever it takes to keep that No. 1 position." South Korea's Jiyai Shin leads the player of the year — and rookie — races and is within striking distance of catching Ochoa in the rankings. Norway's Suzann Pettersen and a handful of other players are also close heading into the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge, set to start Thursday at *Blackhawk Country Club*. For nearly two years that wasn't much of an issue for the 27-year old star who replaced Annika Sorenstam at the top of the rankings in April 2007. But 2009 has been a much different year for Ochoa. She has spent more time in Mexico while playing in fewer tournaments and is in the midst of planning her December wedding to longtime boyfriend Andres Conesa, the CEO of AeroMexico. Ochoa has finished better than 10th only twice in her last 10 tournaments, including a tie for fourth last week in the Samsung World Championships at Torrey Pines. She bottomed out with a 49th-place showing at the Safeway Classic in August. On the course, the results have been disappointing. In majors, Ochoa also has struggled. She was 26th at the U.S. Women's Open and 28th at the Women's British Open. "My life is changing a little bit and that's just the way it is." said Ochoa, who two weeks ago in Mexico City bristled slightly at criticisms of her game. "Sometimes it's hard to keep that same level and the same rhythm forever. It's been an up and down year for me for different reasons, especially outside the golf course. "I think it was a good start, what happened the last couple weeks. but I'm trying to get into the winner's circle," Ochoa said. Ochoa has never won the CVS/pharmacy tournament, formerly known as the Longs Drugs Challenge. "I think it was a good start, what happened the last couple weeks, but I'm trying to get into the winner's circle." She was fourth in 2008 and lost a playoff to Pettersen in 2007. "Compared to previous years I think this course is going to change a little bit probably with lower scores," said Ochoa, citing the softer greens at Blackhawk. "The par 5s are not as easy in terms of reaching because they are playing longer but I just like it. I've been close a few times so hopefully this is my year." "She didn't surprise me because we knew how good she was," Ochoa said. "Of course it isn't only her. There are a few players that are trying to catch me. It's OK. That's the way it is when you're at the top" Shin also leads the money list and is trying to become the first player since Nancy Lopez in 1978 to win both player of the year and rookie of the year honors.

"Well, he saw the tape," Sims said, laughing. "We all did. And I'm not overly impressed with our performance. We can do better." Edited by Alicia Banister NFL Rough season start for Rams' Avery BY R.B. FALLSTROM ST. LOUIS — It's two games and two turnovers for Donnie Avery, the St. Louis Rams' second-round pick last year. He realizes more than those who are making him the franchise's latest scapegoat that it's two too many. Ball security suddenly has become an issue with a player expected to lead the team's thin and inexperienced wide receiver corps. His fumble at the Washington 5 in the fourth quarter last Sunday cost the Rams dearly in a 2-point loss, and he lost a fumble on a kickoff return to open the season. Wednesday was a major relief for Avery, the better to begin redeeming himself. "It was great to get back out there," Avery said. "I understand it's going to be a practice long week, but I just need to get ready" "I guess you could say when it's good it's good, and when it's bad it's bad." Coach Steve Spagnuolo said he hasn't lost confidence in Avery, the first wide receiver taken in the 2008 draft and coming off a 53-catch season that was only one off the franchise rookie record set by Eddie Kennison in 1996. So far, Avery has seven catches for 50 yards for a team that has managed only one touchdown in two games. The Rams, who have dropped 12 in a row heading into Sunday's home opener against the Packers, need his breakaway speed. "I know this and I've said it before: I love his heart, I love his grit, I love what he's all about," Spagnuolo said. "He'll be fine. We're banking on him to be fine." DONNIE AVERY Rams wide receiver Quarterback Marc Bulger said Avery was tough enough on himself after Sunday's loss without teammates piling on. "We're going to need him for 14 more games, and he's too good of a player," Bulger said. "We can't let him get down, and he was back out there today looking great." Thus far, Laurent Robinson has been Bulger's go-to wide receiver with 11 catches, a 12.8-yard average and the lone touchdown on a 2-yard fade route against the Redskins. Avery made several big plays as a rookie, scoring his first touchdown on a 37-yard end around and had six catches for 169 yards including a 94-grab against the Patriots. No fumbles, either. "I guess you could say when it's good it's good, and when it's bad it's bad," said Avery, whose long gain this year is only 16 yards. Avery got caught on a spin move on the kickoff return. and hasn't returned one since, although Spagnuolo wouldn't say he'd been taken off special teams. The Rams signed return man Danny Amendola off the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, and Amendola could fill both roles this week. "It just depends on how quickly we can get him oiled up," Spagnuolo said. "Until we get to the end of the week, we don't really know." Redskins safety Chris Horton put his helmet on the ball after Avery made a 4-yard reception to the Washington 9 early in the fourth quarter last week, and the Redskins recovered at the 7 to preserve a 9-7 lead that held up. MLB Royals make two late season moves The Royals also placed left-hander Bruce Chen on the 60-day disabled list with a torn left oblique muscle.

An administration official says Valerie Jarrett met with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in New York Tuesday. Blair helped secure the 2012 Olympics for London when he met with International Olympic Committee members in 2005. NFL Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Brandon Marshall insists he's comfortable with the Denver Broncos playbook and that his surgically repaired hip is no longer a concern. The mercurial receiver said he doesn't know why he is not playing more yet he's willing to accept his role, whatever it may be. "I think I'm good enough to be out there," Marshall said. "It doesn't matter what I think. All I can do is embrace it." Marshall was more forthcoming Wednesday than he's been in a while, responding to questions rather than dodging them with clutches and one-liners. "You guys can ask all the questions you want — you're all asking questions from a month ago," said Marshall, who did not participate in practice Wednesday due to a cold. "That's the past. Let's move forward. We're 2-0. The fans are happy. The players are happy. The coaches are happy. Everybody is happy. Every Denver Broncos fan is Yet he made it clear he doesn't want to keep harping on his eventful offseason, when he asked for a trade and skipped almost all of the Broncos' workouts while rehabbing his hip, protesting his contract or serving a suspension for insubordination. happy right now and I'm the same. A lot of good comes when you're winning." Marshall, who made the Pro Bowl last season, spent most of the second quarter on the bench against Cleveland on Sunday, sporting a baseball cap and watching the offense move down the field without him. He played more in the second half after Eddie Royal needed an infusion of IV fluids at halftime. Winning also helps mask frustration. ASSOCIATED PRESS Marshall finished with three catches for 34 yards. "Me being out there, not being out there as much as I used to be, it's something I have to get used to," Marshall said. "I've learned from trying to fight the system." Marshall went as far as posting a farewell to Denver fans on his blog earlier this year after his agent, Kennard McGuire, said team owner Pat Bowlen had informed Marshall in a private meeting that he would try to accommodate his trade request. Marshall had a tumultuous spring, missing most of the team's offseason workouts while rehabbing from hip surgery. He also was upset over the way the team diagnosed his injury and with his contract. Marshall then boiled over in camp, batting down passes during drills, all of which was caught on film. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels suspended him for the last two games of the preseason for his petulant behavior.

Although Marshall has yet to fully show off his separation skills on passing routes, he's adamant that the spectacle eyewear center an integral part of the Broncos' offense, catching 104 passes for 1,265 yards. "Last year, I played the whole year with a tear in my hip," he said. "This year it's fixed. I feel great. My body is as lean as it's ever been. Last year I was probably 10 percent (body fat). This year I'm 6. Eater, much healthier, ready to roll." Last month, Marshall said he wasn't anywhere near learning the new offense, but he said Wednesday that no longer the case. his hip is no longer a hindrance. He said he's looking forward to matching up against Raiders Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on Sunday. "I'm comfortable," he said. "The past two games, I've made two mistakes. That happens. You want to correct those to where you don't make a mistake at all. I only made two mistakes in two games. I did that last year in the last offense." Marshall didn't play in Oakland last season, missing the opener as he served a one-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. "He's a very smart player, athletically gifted," Marshall said. "He just fights every play."

After several hours, she opened her eyes and, for the first time since she was a child, she could see the room clearly. She hasn't needed any form of vision correction since. She had gone under the laser after signing herself up for what was then still a relatively new and unproven procedure: LASIK eye surgery. Proud mother of two daughters. She is an active member of the Equal Opportunity Board and a proud supporter of diversity. Ten years after my mom's surgery, I wonder if LASIK is for me. When my mom got it done, the idea of someone firing lasers into my thenten-year-old eyes scared the bejeezus out of me. Older but perhaps not entirely wiser, I can't say I don't still feel the same. Do I want to risk my vision, arguably my most important sense? What if I move during the surgery and mess it up? My mom says this is what she worried about most — not that the doctors would screw up, but that she would. After bearing with pairs of glasses for decades and suffering through the 1980s with hard, uncomfortable, extremely expensive contacts, my mom woke up from a long nap one day in late 1999 and, suddenly, could see. Check out Hailey's story on page 19 to read more about LASIK surgery and the way it changed her life. Perhaps it'll open your eyes to new and exciting medical possibilities. And then there's the cost. My mom says it's the best money she's ever spent, but it's not covered by our insurance and, even if I had the money, I'm probably too lazy to bother when contacts don't seem like too much of a pain.

THE TAPROOM it's a mother JAMES BURNHAM THE WORLD'S MOST HONEST POPULAR "Does anyone want to take this party back to their house?" the DJ hollers to the crowd of sweaty, drunk dancers. Photo by Francesca Chambers Will Weinstein looks at his brother and gives him the "I don't know" face. The next thing Weinstein knows, the DJ is broadcasting his address into the microphone, and people are pouring out of the steamy Taproom basement to head toward his home. Get down: Chances are you'll hear a variety of funk tracks on weekends at the Eighth St. Taproom. But that's what Weinstein, Overland Park senior, loves about weekends at the Eighth St. Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St., versus other dance bars in town. He has the opportunity to hang out with like-minded people who just want to get drunk and dance, and he gets to hear funk music he wouldn't be able to hear anywhere else. Weinstein says he liked retro artists such as Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye before moving to Lawrence. However, he says many people in the Lawrence dance scene are more cultured and know abour lesser-known records that contain some of the best music from that era. The Taproom is also known for the classic soul music it plays on most weekends. Jerome Favre, a Lawrence resident who has worked at the Taproom for three years and has frequented the bar for more years than he's willing to count, says the artist schedule is always the same. That means, if you like the music, come back on the same day each month to hear it again. Walking into the Taproom basement on the weekends is like being transported through a time machine back to the 1970s. You feel the aura of peace, love and happiness immediately, and you suddenly feel the urge to dance. What if you've never shaken your groove thang before, though? "There's no way to dance to funk. It's just fun and easy." Weinstein says. "And even if it looks silly, it makes you move." // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS in the life of ... // A STENOGRAPHER living vicariously through others is ok with us. Smiling, Debbie Oakleaf quickly types the keys of the odd-looking black machine. It spits out a handful of letters on a purple sheet of receipt paper: RO BG K H A U BG SK W RA U BG The group of letters wouldn't make sense to the untrained eye, but to Oakleaf, a stenographer — AKA court reporter — for the Douglas County District Court, the phrase is familiar. It says "Rock Chalk Jayhawk." Although Oakleaf enjoys using her steno machine for fun to type phrases such as this Viviana de la Cruz one, her work is very serious. As the stenographer. it is her job to take down a perfect record of what is said in court and to maintain the exhibits of the court. Contributed photo Oakleaf has been a stenographer for 32 years. She's seen the court reporter apparatus change from a typewriter to what reporters use now, the steno machine. The contemporary steno machines use a jump drive to record the coding that is typed on the steno paper, but Oakleaf still uses her floppy disk machine. She's just too busy copy-editing testimony — there's no spell check on the steno — and researching court cases, she says, to learn the new technology. Typo: Debbie Oakleaf shows a paper from her stone that reads "Rock Chalk Jayhawk." People interested in becoming stenographers must complete a two-year program online or at a college and be able to type 225 words per minute on the steno to receive state certification. Oakleaf says the most difficult part of her job has nothing to do with typing, listening or technology, though; it's keeping her emotions at bay during trials. "You have to learn to shut your emotions off, because when you're in a murder or rape trial, you can't get emotional," she says. // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS START THE WEEKEND WITH ALL NEW SPECIALS DOORS OPEN AT 9PM THURSDAY 18+ DANCE PARTY | FREE COVER 21+ THE NEW DOLLAR NIGHT FRIDAY 21+ ONLY | $3 COVER $2 BUD PRODUCTS WELLS JAGERBOMBS Lawrence's Hottest 18 & Up Night Club ABE&JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING abejakes.com • 841-5855 • 18 to dance. 21 to drink.

Tucked back in the depths of your closet there's that one forgotten shirt — the one that you always skip over when you're picking something to wear for a night out. The one with the tags still on it. It's the one that looked great when you tried it on, but once you brought it home you hated it. Now, you never wear it and seeing it always makes you feel a little guilty. Everyone has at least one of these items in their wardrobe, but why not turn it into a positive thing? Many stores in town buy back your gently used clothing, offering you cash or store credit in return. So that impulse buy that's taking up space in your closet can be traded in for some extra money or something you like better. Kim Livingood, Lawrence junior, has been trading her clothes since she was in high school. She says she comes as often as twice a season to both Arizona Trading Company and Plato's Closet hoping to get cash for her old clothes. Not only does she sell her old clothes back but she regularly shops at each store to find new items for her closet. She says it's a great way to make extra money and a great way to save money as well. If you've got a shirt that's making you feel guilty, here's a rundown of local resell stores to help you get started. Let the closet purging begin. Plato's Closet 3514 Clinton Pkwy GOOD FOR: Those super high Steve Madden heels that kill your feet because you bought a half-size down. (But they were on sale!) Or those Ed Hardy shirts you thought were so cool until you saw Ion Goselin wearing them. Plato's Closet specializes in name-brand clothing, so if you have a lot of high-end labels this may be your place. There's tons of selection if you're interested in buying. The clothes are inspected based on style and condition as well as whether the employees think it will sell in the store. Allyson Nichols Leawood senior who works at Plato's Closet, says the business prices clothes based on the brand first, then the condition. So a high-dollar brand will start you off with more cash back and then the condition of the piece gives you more on top of that. Nichols says Plato's Closet takes clothes no more than two years old and they have to be in pretty good condition. The business also takes accessories such as belts, purses and jewelry as well as shoes. Wild Man Vintage 939 Massachusetts St. GOOOD FOR! The vintage floral mini-dress you bought for last year's Woodstock-themed sorority party. (There's a new theme this year.) If you have a collection of vintage clothing in excellent condition, Wild Man Vintage would love to buy some of it. Lacy Myers, Kansas City, Kan., nontraditional student who works at Wild Man, says the business buys older styles, specifically the 1970s and 1980s. She says they do take some newer things from Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, depending on the style and condition. But don't be fooled by the fact that Wild Man's clothing is older; it still has to be in good condition. Neesa Hussain, a Wild Man employee, says employees always check the seams and zipper for tears and signs of wear. The business buys clothing based on the season and according to what it already has in stock. Once employees price what they want to buy back, you have the option of taking 40 percent of it in cash back or 60 percent in store credit. Arizona Trading Company 734 Massachusetts St. GOOD FOR: All of those men's button-downs that are now gaping between the buttons. (Looks like your bar tab has been affecting your waistline.) Arizona Trading Company covers everything from vintage to high-end clothing, as long as the items are current styles. Lisa Roberts, an employee at ATC, says the business takes both unique pieces and good name brands, as long as employees think it will sell. ATC buys its clothes seasonally, so if you're looking to trade now, bring in fall styles. Like Wild Man Vintage, ATC gives you two options for your money. You can take 35 percent in cash, or take 60 percent in store credit. Roberts says the business keeps your store credit on file for up to six months, so it doesn't have to be used right away. Justin Wilson, Wichita senior, used his store credit to buy what he says is his favorite sweater of all time, and a couple other items. "Trading your clothes gives you something for nothing, because otherwise I would have just thrown away those unwanted clothes," Wilson says. The styles Lawrence stores are looking for this season FALL STYLES - Neutral colors * - Knee-high boots * - Name-brand jeans * - Anything plaid (men's and women's) * - Men's Western shirts * - Clothes with ruffled details * * High-waisted skirts * - Military-style jackets * - Winter coats (men's and women's) * 5 09 24 09 --- .. --- NOTICE Q&A // TUCKER MAX because we have questions, celebrities have answers. Tucker Max has made a living out of being an asshole. His 2006 New York Times bestseller, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, is a personal narrative of numerous alcohol-induced incidents and conquests of not-so-nicely-named women. And now the profane comedy is being introduced to 31 college campuses across the nation as a movie based on one of the book's stories. The movie opens nationwide tomorrow. I wrote a scathing review of the book last year, but as I found myself sitting on his tour bus for this interview, my mind began to change. He didn't seem like such a jerk after all. Where was this straight-shooting, self-absorbed womanizer? I found out in his responses about fame, fortune and life on board the Tucker Max tour bus. Jayplay How's the tour going so far and what do you think of Lawrence in general? Tucker Max I knew the tour would go good, I knew the fans would love the movie, but I didn't know the rest of the world would figure it out so quickly. Lawrence is about what I expected: hot girls, bad drinkers. No, I'm just teasing. Actually, my buddy was a Beta and did undergrad at KU so I came here when he got married at the chapel on campus. It's a fun city. JP. How much creative input did you have and how involved were you in the movie? TM: Nils Parker and I wrote the script, picked the director and cast the actors. The final cut is our cut, so we were the beginning and end of all creative decisions. If this thing is a success, Nils and I will answer to no one else the rest of our lives, except for our fans. JP. What was it like seeing Matt Czuchry play you in the movie? TM: Once you do something enough you get tired of it and I had seen it so many times so it wasn't that weird. Matt took the character in a different, better direction. Movie Tucker is a lot more likeable and redeemable than I am in real life. Like I can be a lot of fun, but I'm really a fucking dick. JP: And you had to have a cameo as the best man ... TM: Of course I did. I'm a narcissist. I have to be in my own fucking movie. JP In one of your stories from I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, you say, "at 21 I was possibly the worst person in existence, I was narcissistic and self-absorbed to the point of psychotic delusion." Have you changed at all? TM: The book isn't about the narcissism so much, it's just funny stories. But the movie is about the fallout and how my behavior impacts my friends, and what I have to do when it gets to the point where they don't want to be friends with me and how I fix that situation. Look, I'm 33. If I hadn't grown up at all that would be fucking weird and awful. I've definitely changed, I've definitely matured and I've learned how to empathize and how to outthink my narcissism to some extent. SUNDAY, JULY 18TH, 2015 JP: When you wrote the book, did you think about the people who wouldn't appreciate it? TM: The people who hate you, generally speaking, hate you for their own reasons. I love them because one, your enemies are always the first to find your faults, second is because I love being hated because it's like Eminem said: "It lets me know that I made it." No one hates someone who's anonymous. Every time they write about me it's like throwing a gasoline-soaked log on the raging inferno that is my ego. JP. Do you ever look back or re-read stories and have regrets? TM: If you don't have regrets that means you haven't lived life. Just because the stories are funny doesn't mean they're right. I had to fail a lot and learn a lot of painful lessons and do a lot of introspective self-examination, which means looking at what you're doing and being honest with yourself about it. JP. Where do you think you would be if you wouldn't have written the book or made the movie? TM: I don't know what I would've done, I know what I did. I wanted to be a fucking star, and I wanted to stand in the pantheon among the greats. Photo by Adam Buhler Hey, at least he's honest: Tucker Max's it looks may have earned him a bad reputation, but he doesn't deny some of his unfavorable traits: A story from his book; I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, has been made into a movie of the same title. The movie hits theaters tomorrow. Why do you think some people hate you? TM: I mean there are plenty of reasons to not like me — I'm self-centered and I care more about my own happiness than anyone else's to a bad degree. Sometimes I cross the line to meanness, like tonight when I said an audience member looked like a keg with a hat on. It was funny, but still kind of mean. JP Why do you think some people hate you? JP: What are you looking for in a girl? TM: I'm a fucking brilliant, complicated dude. It's going to take a very smart, very strong woman to match up to me. It's not just about the checklist, it's about being in the right place. I can't tell you how many girls met me when I was 21 and they were smart enough to see the man I would become in a few years but they tried to change me into that, and now the road to Tucker Max is littered with their broken souls. They gave a lot to me before I was ready to give a lot back and they got burned. What they should've learned is that you can't change a dude. // KELCI SHIPLEY 09 6 24 09 NOTICE Q&A // CISCO ADLER because we have questions. celebrities have answers. Celeb mmm Cisco Adler is a music producer, member of rap group Shwayze and record producer Lou Adler's son. Although Adler was sitting on a plane about to take off to Dallas, he told the flight attendant to hold on so he could talk to Jayplay about his newest album, a possible acting career and his love life. Jayplay: How long have you known you wanted to be in the music industry? Cisco Adler: My first inclination was when I found hip-hop as a teenager. It was a kind of rebellion against my father, who is in the rock business. But basically I was just a little white kid who wanted to be a rapper. Once I started actually doing it, I fed the hunger. I decided to go into rock after that. JP: How did you meet Aaron Smith (Shwayze)? Contributed photo Beach boys. Cisco Adler (left) and rapper Shwayze have gained popularity with their summer anthems. Adler, who is also a music producer and actor, provides the instrumentation for the duo's songs. CA: We met in Malibu. It is a simple town. We started hanging out and I gave him his nickname, "Shwayze." We started playing music together and I realized I had discovered a diamond in the rough. At the time, I wanted to be a solo act. He is a rapper and I started to throw my rock genre into it. We started having our own kind of music with no rules. It was a beautiful accident. JP: If you could put Shwayze into a musical genre, what would you call it? CA: It is a beach-time summer vibe, mixed with something to play in the clubs. Our first album, Shwayze, we were just trying to get our own sound. We were playing it safe and not trying to go too many places. In our newest album, we have finally reached our ideal genre. We have many songs. Basically, we are trying to show that we are not just a one-trick pony. JP: What are you and Shwayze's individual roles in the group? CA: Aaron (Shwayze) raps and I play all the music and sing the hooks. I am also the producer so we finish off the sound together. JP: In your newest album, *Let it Beat*, you work with celebrities such as Snoop Dogg. What was that like? CA: It was cool. The way we worked with the features was very cool. We wanted to go with friends and influences, and Snoop was one of them. We were blessed to have him on our album. Now, people can't say shit about us. JP What type of instruments do you play? CA: I do all the music on the records. I play piano, guitar and drums. I also mix all the tracks myself. I have played instruments since I was 10 and I couldn't get enough of it. JP: You and Shwayze had your own series on MTV, *Buzzin*; have you ever considered a possible acting career? CA: Most definitely, I have produced and acted in a film called Sweetie Pie, along with my friend Paris Hilton. Also Shwayze and I are working on a new film called Big Jack's Tickets, which is a comedy. Basically I am kind of a jack-of-all-trades, master of all and none. JP: In your newest single, "Get You Home," you talk about hooking up with girls and spill about different sexual encounters. You say in your song that "none of it is fantasy" and "you live to tell the tale." Can you share any of your encounters? CA: I do not kiss and tell. We are selling a lifestyle and not just music.I will say that all of the lyrics are real and not bullshit. We sing about love, and even love lost. JP: How does it feel to rise to the top so quickly? CA: It is a lot of different emotions, especially since our album was released around the time that other giant tracks were released. I came into the business being known for whom I have fucked, and now I am known for my passion in life. JP: You have been paired up with celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton and Kimberly Stewart. Dating anyone famous as of now? CA: I actually am taken. I have a beautiful model girlfriend who is normal. I am done dating actresses. You can never understand if their tears are real. I am just over psychopaths. JP Would you ever date a KU girl? CA: Yeah, I would date a farmer's daughter. I have actually dated many girls who are not in the spotlight. I do not constrict my love life. My girlfriend right now is the most normal girl. She is not a psycho like most. I really do not have a specific type, but I do tend to gravitate to funny, smart women. JP: What are your future plans? CA: I started a new label known as Bananabeat Records. I have also just launched a new artist named Chris Young. // HANNAH DECLERK 7 09 24 09 NOTICE It's a (Twin) Thing // KELCI SHIPLEY MARCO RICCIARI Photo by Amanda Kitsner Seeing double, Logan (left) and Gavin (right) Wartick, Rose Hill juniors, got up to tricky twin antics in grade school, sitting in each other's assigned seat and then serving double the detention. Today they still struggle with some people assuming they don't have individual identities (they do) and that, as identical twins, they have special telepathic powers (they don't). I sat in the oral surgeon's waiting room, nervously flipping through an old copy of People magazine. As I was catching up on the daily gossip of underworked and overpaid celebrities, I felt my stomach lurch. My twin brother had already gone into the dentist's chair, and I knew the exact moment the IV was inserted into his arm. He's deathly afraid of needles and blood, and I've frequently been able to tell when he's facing one situation or the other. I'm not saying I can read his mind or feel his pain, but we have a different connection than most siblings. Growing up with a twin brother allowed me to become an individual, but for same-sex identical twins the task is not so easy. There are many comparisons and judgments, but twins eventually form their own identity. Even with a unique personality twins have a closeness that fascinates the world, causing outsiders to assume that the two have "twin powers." When I sit down to interview Logan and Gavin Wartick, Rose Hill juniors, I have no problem telling the two apart. Logan calmly sits across from me in a white T-shirt and jeans, his left ear is pierced and a five o'clock shadow sits on his long face. Gavin nervously sits to my left wearing a blue button-down and tan pants, his hair is a bit longer and he's clean-shaven with his girlfriend by his side. Even though I can tell the difference, the boys say that most people can't. And although some would think they would it use to their advantage, they've only switched places once, in their high school Spanish class. To the frustration of their teacher, they sat in each other's assigned seats. Both were punished with detention because the school officials didn't know who was causing trouble. Gavin says he always ended up getting blamed when it was really Logan's fault. When it comes to being compared, the boys banter back and forth. Gavin says that girls think Logan's prettier, and a bit of a lady's man. "And I'm obviously the smarter one," Logan counters. Their timing is almost comedic, interrupting one another when they disagree. "People assume that he's your best friend and that we're the exact same person mentally and physically," Gavin says. "But I'm my own person." Watching them interact, it's obvious that they have a relationship unlike most siblings. Insults and jokes aside, Logan and Gavin have always been close; they've lived together their entire lives, and even share many friends. This closeness doesn't imply any sort of superpowers, however. The boys say that sometimes they'll be singing the same song coincidentally, but nothing out of the ordinary usually occurs. "We're not telepathic by any means," Gavin says. Dory Cochran, Manhattan senior, never got the chance to be distinguished from her sister until coming to Lawrence. Until then she and her twin, Laura Beth, had always been known as "the Cochran twins." The OshKosh B'Gosh-wearing girls had the same friends growing up, but Laura Beth was more vocal. "She would usually speak for both of us," Dory says. Now the girls are separated, with Laura Beth studying architecture at Kansas State University and Dory here, pursuing degrees in English and women's studies. "I'm different than I would've been if we would've gone to the same school," she says. Even through distant campuses — and continents during study abroad trips — Dory says that the older they are the closer they become, and that they try to communicate on a daily basis. Dory says that having a twin is like having a great QUESTIONS TWINS HEAR, AND HATE ***** * Can you tell what he's thinking? * Have you switched places? * If she gets hurt do you feel it? * Who's the evil twin? * Do you have the same personality? * Are you identical? support system. "You can look at them and not even have to say what you're thinking." Like Gavin and Logan, Dory says that she and Laura Beth don't have any ESP capabilities. She says that sometimes she'll ask her sister what to listen to and they'll end up picking the same music, but their similar thoughts and tastes are a result of knowing each other so well, more so than having a twin connection. Most people assume that this recognition of emotions and pain is standard for twins, but there is no scientific research to back it up, says Pamela Fierro, guide to twins and multiples at about.com and author of several books on multiples. Fierro, mother of identical twin girls, says that there's a fascination with twins because of their rarity, and because people like to think of twins as clones. "Twins try to avoid it by dressing differently and participating in different activities, but society judges them together." Even with the comparisons and judgments, Fierro says that twins have a bond that outlasts relationships with their parents and friends. Logan and Gavin admit that they like constantly having a companion, and Dory says that she can count on her sister during hard times. I for one know that my twin will always be there for me, whether it's to go see a movie, help with homework or even sit in the waiting room while I get my wisdom teeth removed.

Photo illustration by Jerry Wang At least three times a day, Najibullah Wardak, Wichita senior, takes a shower. He washes his hands each time he enters his house and every time he touches his shoes. "I just think that's good, clean habits." he savs. When questioned about their bathing habits in e-mails and personal interviews, about 50 KU students said they bathe once a day for seven to 10 minutes. But in her book Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience: The Social Organization of Normality, Elizabeth Shove says what one person sees is normal bathing habits, another person often does not. Like hairstyles and clothing, bathing is a fashion statement that has changed throughout time and differs among contemporary societies. Today, bathing is an individual experience in the United States and is an activity used for both hygienic and stress-relieving purposes. This was not always the case, though. Although the idea of a group of males and females bathing together, naked, for fun, brings to mind the word "orgy" these days, in ancient Greece and Rome, communal bathing was a non-sexual, social activity. Even baths in private homes in ancient Rome were clearly designed to accommodate more than one person, says Garret G. Fagan in his book, Bathing in Public in the Roman World. Then, for more than a century, bathing went out of style completely. People often survived their entire lives without washing. When the Roman Empire crumbled, so did their system of bathing. In her book The Dirt on Clean, Katherine Ashenburg says the Germanic tribes that conquered Rome preferred to wash in streams. Later, in the Middle Ages, people washed only their hands — a necessity considering they were still eating food off of them. Fagan attributes the decline of bathing during this time to the spread of Christianity and the religion's disapproval of nudity. Regular and public bathing customs resurfaced in Western Europe after the Crusades. The religion that had once discredited bathing brought it back to popularity in the form of Turkish baths. The most lavish of these baths resembled high-class parties — without the clothes. Musicians performed, guests gorged themselves on fruit and women wore elaborate make-up, jewelry and headdresses, all in the baths, Ashenburg writes. At first, the prostitution that sprang up in and around the public baths at the end of the Middle Ages was ignored. However, in 1538, bathhouses were prohibited in France as rumors grew that women could become pregnant and infected with sexually transmitted diseases by swimming in the water. Ashenburg writes. The spread of the plague led to the decline of bathing yet again, Shove says in her book. Medical experts in the 16th century led the public to believe that dirt-filled pores decreased the ability of the plague to enter the body. Bathing re-emerged in the late 1800s because of the successful creation and marketing of soap, Ashenburg says, and flourished with the advent of modern plumbing, which poured hot water over the body for extended periods of time with a simple touch of the hand. Bathing was a symbol of a person's status in society, both economically and racially, during the Industrial Revolution. Janice Boddy, a professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto, says in the book Dirt, Undress and Difference that advertisers used cartoons of monkeys to portray those who didn't bathe and referred to the unwashed as "jungle people." If bathing in the 1900s was a mark of the upper-class society, today it is a mark of belonging to society, period, Shove says in her book. Additionally, she says bathing has evolved into an activity about comfort and self-indulgence, with a sense of self emphasis on the type of soap or "body wash" one uses. THE DORM SHOWERS — IT'S WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT COULD HURT YOU Although outdoor, mixed-sex, nude baths have lost their flavor, remnants of the practice have subtly persisted in our communities. At the University, women and men use separate bathing facilities in the dormitories, but same-sex group bathing is still acceptable. Students don't necessarily enjoy showering in close proximity with strangers, though. Not to mention, the dormitory showers are far from the high-roller saunas promoted in the Middle Ages. "They are just dirty, and some of them are moldy," says Felicia Powell, a Lee's Summit, Mo., senior who lived in McCollum Hall her freshman year. "Then there are strands of people's hair, and it's just gross, even though they're cleaned daily." SHOWERING AROUND THE WORLD LAVEZ-VOUS UN CORPS CHAQUE JOUR? About 51 percent of French women and 55 percent of French men do not shower or bathe every day, Katherine Ashenburg says in her book, *The Dirt on Clean*. "The French seem to have a perverse national pride in their own unconcern about cleanliness," she writes. But that's just not true, says Olivia Prouvost-Allen, Lilles, France, graduate student. Prouvost-Allen says people have a lot of misconceptions about French hygiene. She is often asked if she shaves and showers regularly, she says, and the answer is yes. All her friends bathe every day, too. The only people in France who do not are the people in their 60s and 70s, who she says are still not used to the idea of having indoor plumbing and unlimited access to water. DAILY SHOWERS ARE A PRIVILEGE Ian Cummings, Overland Park graduate student, has spent the last few years living in Honduras and Columbia, where the temperature of the water is extremely unpredictable, he says. "Where I am now, the water usually starts out piping hot and then unpredictably turns ice cold," he says. "This means that my showers have frequently become wild, frantic affairs. It is impossible to become accustomed to the cold water when it refuses to appear predictably." In Honduras, not only is water temperature spotty, so is the availability of water. Cummings says sometimes he had to take his baths in a concrete water tank — a pila — behind his house The pila was used as an all-purpose water source, he says, excluding drinking out of. Whenever he visits the United States now, Cummings says he takes long, hot, wasteful showers. LOOKING FOR A NEW WAY TO EXFOLIATE? TRY TREE BARK In Slavic culture, it was once customary to bathe after every sexual encounter, says Eve Levin, professor of history. Bathing itself was a non-sexual activity, though, Levin says. Like Europeans of the time, Russians bathed in mixed-sex bathhouses that were used solely for the purposes of becoming clean and patrons used birch twigs for exfoliating. Levin, author of Sex and Society in the World of Orthodox Slavs 900-1700, says traditional bathhouses in Russia still offer the tree bark to customers today. 09 10 24 09 . FEATURE ★ WS Photo illustration by Jerry Wang Causing a sink: Showering habits vary across and within cultures. How much is too much? How much is too little? The answers may seem obvious but social norms have changed drastically over time. In reality, most of the germs are nothing to worry about, even if the buildup looks like it's a form of the bubonic plague. "If we did culture the bathrooms, we would probably grow stuff," says Pat Moody, a medical technologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "But it probably wouldn't mean anything because it's all harmless." Students could pick up a virus, such as the cold or the flu, from the communal showers, though, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing at Watkins. Viruses cannot be grown, so it would be impossible for Watkins' laboratory to determine how many and what kind of viruses are lurking in dorm showers. Contracting a virus could be as easy as walking around barefoot in the showers with dry, chapped feet, so Quinlan advises students to wear swim shoes or flip-flops to the communal bathrooms, even if they do not have any open wounds. For one KU student, going showerless freshman year was better than showing in the poorly lit, hair-infested dorm showers. Samantha Collins, Olathe junior, considers herself to be a regular bather, but she admits she showered sporadically during her stay at the dorms and that sometimes during the winter, she showered only once every three days. "It didn't help that my best friend, Erica, didn't shower very often either," she says. "It was just a life of life freshman year." Skipping the shower after a humid or even a cold Kansas day may sound repulsive, but is it a medical no-no? Quinlan thinks so. Quinlan students should shower every night, unless they did not leave their house that day. When we are out in public, we come into contact with an unlimited number of bacteria and viruses, she says, and the risk of becoming infected with those germs is heightened by not showering before we go to sleep. Each day, those of us who shower in the morning bring contagious germs into our home, transfer them onto our pillows and sheets and soak in them all night long. So, showering at night is especially important for those students who have aggressive allergies. But some people disagree with this idea. The idea that everyone needs to shower every day is ridiculous, says Katherine Ashenburg, author of The Dirt on Clean. People who sweat more than the average person may need to shower every day, she says, but for the most part, to stay healthy, washing anything above the wrists on a daily basis is optional. "I think this is all propaganda about daily shower and bath with soap and deodorant," she says. "We're all too individual for that." SKIPPING SHOWERS WON'T HELP YOU SAVE A WHALE OR MONEY If not showering really is harmful to our bodies, surely it saves us oodles of money on our water bill each month? Doubtful, says the City of Lawrence. According to the city's website, residents are charged $3.18 for every 1,000 gallons of water used. In Lawrence, the average amount of water used during a 10-minute shower is 40 gallons. That means if you take a shower every day,you will use about 1,240 gallons of water per billing cycle. So, at best, you could save yourself the extra $3.18 charged to you for going over 1,000 gallons by cutting out one or two showers per week. But showering any less than six times a week doesn't save you any more money. Granted, the amount of times you flush your toilet and run water for other purposes plays a part in the cost of your water bill, too, but showering less saves you at most about 10 cents a day, or $38.16 a year, and that's only if your shower head was made before 1992. In 1992, the federal government changed the standard for showerheads, requiring that no more than 2.5 gallons of water be sprayed out per minute. At the end of the month, students living in newer apartment complexes are using about 775 gallons of water a month — well below the 1,000 gallon mark — so, decreasing the number of showers taken each week would save them no money at all, says Chris Whitley, a spokesman for the Midwest region of the Environmental Protection Agency. As far as saving the environment goes, Whitley says that as far as he knows, the EPA has never released information suggesting a certain number of showers per week. "A lot of this comes down to how long you can stand yourself and how long your friends can stand yourself when it comes down to bathing," he says. POPULAR SHOWERING MYTHS "I need to use a lot of soap when I shower to get clean." Absolutely not, says Dr. Lee Bittenbender, a registered dermatologist and owner of Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St. Soap removes natural oils from the skin and can dry out the skin when too much is used, especially in the winter when your skin is already drier than usual. "I need to wash my hair every day." Wrong, says Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing at Watkins Memorial Health Center. You need to wash your hair only three to five times a week. The problem with loofas is not that they are unhealthy, Bittenbender says, it's that people are too rough with them. "I shouldn't use loofus because they are gross and spread germs." "Sometimes people get the notion 'I need to exfoliate and scrub the heck out of things and get tingly clean,'" he says. "I don't think there's any scientific basis for that." Wrong again, says Katherine Ashenburg, author of the book The Dirt on Clean. The type of soap we use has no effect at all on our lives. The type of soap we use does not make us any cleaner, more attractive or more boring. "Using plain soap is better for my skin than using fragranced body gels." Bittenbender says the type of soap used matters less than where we use it. If all you have done that day is go to class or go to the gym, you don't need to use soap anywhere but in your armpits and your groin area.

You opened that bottle of Dr. Pepper a week ago and crammed it into the back of the fridge. Now you're desperate for a caffeine fix, but aren't sure if chugging it down is a good idea. Turns out it's not really bad for you just super gross. Any bacteria that could grow in a previously opened drink probably won't make you sick, says Susan Egan, professor of molecular biosciences. After a while though, bacteria would use up the sugar in the drink and secrete their byproducts into it, making it taste bad. For most beverages, it will take more than a day for bacteria to grow. The amount of creepy crawlers in your drink also depends on its temperature. Keeping the drink refrigerated will keep fewer germs from developing. Clear liquids, such as water or lemonade, will take longer to grow bacteria because they have less to feed on. Egan says. Carbonated drinks, such as sodas, will also take a while to grow bacteria. The high acidity levels naturally sterilize those drinks, making it more difficult for bacteria to grow. But watch out before taking a swig of week-old super sugary drinks such as punch and certain juices. They can grow bacteria more quickly. DRINKING PREVIOUSLY OPENED BEVERAGES Drinking a sip of your own day-old Vitamin Water probably won't harm you, but definitely avoid your buddy's old Pepsi. Germs growing on the top of the bottle are an easy way to transfer a bacterial disease or flu virus, Egan says. If you accidentally take a swig of the water you left sitting by your bed three nights ago, the nasty taste might make you gag like a cat hacking up a hairball, but chill out. It's probably just dust.

LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILE STUDYING distractions, such as your roommates jabbering, listening to music might be beneficial. "But if you're studying in a quiet place, listening to music probably can only hurt," Atchley says. The volume of the music also affects how well you input those Spanish verb tenses or names of U.S. presidents into your memory. If the volume's so loud that a full-blown concert is going on in your ear drums, it's going to be harder to concentrate than if it's just background noise. If you can't study without the music, it's best to just turn on what you usually listen to. "If you really enjoy country western, that would be less distracting than punk. Whatever music will capture your attention the most is the worst you can play." Archley says. During your next study session try nixing the iPod. Don't worry; it'll be there when you get back. VERDICT: BAD FOR YOU 09 24 09 12 // KIRSTEN HUDSON PLAY SEARCHING FOR Pa rubsky Premiering at Liberty Hall in November, Porubsky's: Transcendent Deli, a new documentary about Topeka's last small grocery, uses the talents of local artists to tell the story of one vital Kansas landmark. // SARAH BLUVAS A standout Topeka staple: A film featuring Porubsky's, said to be the last neighborhood grocery in Topeka, aims to "show that Kansas isn't just a place you fly over," says Leah Sewell, filmmaker Matt Porubsky's wife. The film shows the family and neighborhood history rooted in the Topeka landmark. Contributed photo I've never visited the legendary C.W. Porubsky's Deli and Tavern in Topeka's "Little Russia" neighborhood before, but as I walk through the creaky screen door for the first time, I feel the same way newcomers and long-time patrons alike feel when they walk in: comfortable. It could be the few men crowded at the end of the bar, watching college football on a tiny television set. Maybe it's the chatty woman — who I soon find out is a Porubsky herself — seated in the booth in front of me who, upon hearing that this is my first trip to Topeka, invites me to her table and lets me in on some of the family secrets. Known for its chili, hot pickles and cold-cut sandwiches, Porubsky's first opened in 1947 and has survived floods and fires to become the only neighborhood grocery left in Topeka. Yet, as Matt Porubsky, KU graduate and grandson of the original owners, says, Porubsky's is special for more than just cool cuts and resilience to disasters. Instead, it's the inexplicable feeling that people get when they step through the door that prompted Porubsky to make Porubsky's Transcendent Deli, a documentary film that will be released in Topeka and Lawrence in November. Following the 2008 death of his grandmother Lydia, who opened the grocery and tavern with her husband Charlie, Matt Porubsky began to question whether the deli would stay in the family without his grandparents. Always fascinated by the familiar faces and stories found in the deli, Porubsky also wondered why people kept coming back. "There's an appreciation for what this place is, what it stands for, what it stood for," Porubsky says. And he intended to find out why. One inquiry led to another, and Porubsky soon met David Kitchner, KU graduate and codirector from Gizmo Pictures, the Topeka-based production company releasing the film. With support from the Kansas Humanities Council and the Center for Kansas Studies at Washburn University, Porubsky and crew conducted countless interviews and watched hours of pickle-eating footage. One member of the Porubsky clan, for instance, recalls the deli "honor system," noting how Charlie and Lydia never wrote down orders, instead relying on customers to remind them what they had when it came time to pay. Patrons abided by this system because, "If you screw Charlie Porubsky, you ain't no good." me of old photos of my great-grandfather's bar in Omaha. Bruce Harrington, the judge-turned-bartender who has held down the Porubsky's bar for decades, has the same husky voice and sense of humor as my uncle Don. Porubsky's has a story for everyone, even me. The documentary, though, is as much about Topeka as it is about the deli. Using local talent, the filmmakers hope to showcase the local grassroots arts community that few people outside of Topeka often notice. "There's some serious talent working on this film," says Leah Sewell, Porubsky's wife, who co-wrote and researched the film. "We want to show that Kansas isn't just a place you fly over." Justin Marable and Sam Billen, both Topeka artists and KU graduates, contributed their talents to the film as well. Marable, whose wife Bailey was tricked into trying the Porubsky's chili for the first time on camera, provided nostalgic artwork for the film. Billen and his brother Dan recorded the quirky, Russian-influenced music for the soundtrack. Sitting in Porubsky's for more than two hours, I listen to Matt Porubsky's family and friends talk about a place that means so much to them and begin to see why it means something to me.

I'm not a fan of pickles, but even I liked these.

You can e-mail me at kansasinbeat@yahoo.com. Here's one question I often get: Lately sex with my boyfriend has become a bit stale. Is there a sure-fire way to jump start our love life? I don't know if there is a sure-fire, bound-to-work-100-percent-of-the-time technique for all couples, but I do have some ideas that might work. For a romantic relationship lacking fire, I recommend sharing your sexual fantasies with each other. I don't care who you are, everyone has a sexual fantasy that he or she would love to come true. Talk to each other about your fantasies and act these fantasies out. Some fantasies might be illegal and others might involve elaborate objects or places that you don't have access to (such as having sex in the Taj Mahal with the entire Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad rooting you on). But try to do the best you can to accommodate your partner. One of the key components used in sexual therapy sessions is getting individuals to discuss their sexual fantasies to determine what really turns him or her on. Try acting out a scene from your favorite movie, television show or play. Allow yourself to let go. Relationship and sex therapist Carol Altman says fantasy allows you to vary your behavior and sources of pleasure, making sex more passionate and fulfilling. So many of us feel embarrassed to talk about our sexual fantasies, which is too bad. Sexual communication leads to relational satisfaction. The next suggestion I have for you is to incorporate sex toys into your sex life. One of the first things that I noticed when I began my research about sex and sex therapy was the mention and presence of sex toys by so many scholars and sexual therapists. A University of California study found that 10 percent of American couples incorporate sex toys during sex. I strongly believe that the actual number is higher than that. Using a vibrator on a women's clitoris while you are having vaginal intercourse is probably one of the more common techniques used, but there are far more. There is a sex toy out there for everyone, and they don't have to be elaborate to be effective. Something as simple as a cloth Ivan Burchinskiy Mike.

A healthy romantic relationship will always have a strong friendship element, whereas a healthy friendship is not romantic (real sexual). There are several things: 1. betrayal; 2. unfair fighting or resolution of disagreements; 3. Insecurity that leads to jealousy; and, 4. absence of attraction. One where individual growth and development and the maintenance of self can occur in the context of a close and intimate relationship. In most cases, yes, but third and fourth chances are usually about dependency and not forgiveness. Find a trusted friend who will listen and not give advice unless asked.

AFTON BEEBE, Prairie Village senior // HAILEY OSTERHAUS DO YOU BELIEVE IN GIVING SECOND CHANCES? Friendship seems to be encompassed within a romantic relationship. But friendships do not involve romance. Romance involves some type of attraction or desire. Lying is the worst thing you can do in a romantic relationship, or any relationship for that matter.

People who are honest with one another. who are kind to one another but still express their opinion. Not many arguments and fun to be around. Absolutely not, although I can see where some people would say "it depends on the circumstances." I have made that mistake a couple of times and giving someone a second chance should be avoided. I feel like at that point it is important to surround yourself with close friends and family. You can talk about it but don't talk about it too much.

E At first, the meteoric rise of Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody from ex-stripper to Hollywood's reigning queen of quirk was fascinating and weirdly gratifying to observe. Although Juno itself remains an excellent movie, its box office success and critical acclaim paved the way for an endless supply of increasingly pallidimitators. But it turns out the worst Diablo Cody imitator may be Cody herself. The new teen horror-comedy hodgepodge Jennifer's Body is based on a screenplay Cody wrote during the same creative apex that spawned Juno. But Jennifer's Body is the polar opposite of its distinguished predecessor. It's a bloody but unmoving bore that never lives up to its entertaining premise, which promised a gonzo-crossbreeding of Mean Girls and The Exorcist. Seriously, how do you screw up a movie about a cannibalistic cheerleader, especially when said cheerleader is being played by international super-vixen Megan Fox? The basic setup shows what might have been. The beautiful alpha-bitch Jennifer (Fox) is the most popular girl at Devil's Kettle High School, constantly surrounded by a harem of frustrated male suitors and attended to at all times by her homely best friend, the aptly named Needy (Amanda Seyfried). One night, the girls go out for some underage clubbing and Jennifer is kidnapped. After surviving a grueling satanic ritual, she turns into a bloodthirsty she-beast who preys on teenage boys to retain her youth and beauty. Now Needy faces a difficult choice: Should she kill her best friend or allow her to continue on her rampage? If Megan Fox has a repressed inner thespian, it's the only part of her that's she's kept well concealed. She's as flat and emotionless here as she was in that god-awful Transformers sequel. Even the best eye candy goes sour eventually. Amanda Seyfried fares a bit better as Needy, the only character Cody's muddled script seems to lavish any attention on. I didn't go to Jennifer's Body expecting another Juno. But I was expecting to see a movie of some kind, not the autopsy of a once-promising career. // LANDON MCDONALD music review // SONDRE LERCHE — 'HEARTBREAK RADIO' KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. (Rounder) Hello, my name is Sondre. I am a singersongwriter by profession and I'm Norwegian. That used to be really all you needed to know about me, but now apparently I'm a great composer. I just put out this new album, and it's packed with a shitload of really slick string parts. They aren't annoying and out of place like so many bands you hate. This time, they seem like the song was actually written to have these parts in them. It sounds really cool, and set a great build that makes the album flow together very well. I like the album and feel as if I am able to display my cute, touchy-feely singer-song-writer side as per usual, but now, I've added a very proper, bourgeise pop sound to my ensemble. The only thing I think is wrong with the record is that, at times, it sounds slightly overproduced but that was my producer's decision, not mine. I'm unabashedly in love with being a really nice guy and I like long walks on the beach. If you would like to know more, play this record SONDRE LERCH MEABL BEAT RADIO or call 864-4747 and ask for me. I'll be waiting.

However, that song is the only repeat track; the other six numbers are unreleased cuts from the Furr recording sessions. Blitzen Trapper is coming through Lawrence on their tour. They'll be playing Oct. 18 at the Jackpot Music Hall. Though the full-length contains the superior tunes for obvious reasons, these six are still fun gems from a band that has given us a great amount of quality material along their career so far. This EP should do well to tide us over to the band's next full release. ★★★☆ ★ ★ ★ // BECKY SULLIVAN KJHK production director and rotation DJ kjhk charts // WEEK OF SEPT. 20 The 15 most played albums on KJHK's new music rotation shows as of Sept. 20. 1 ANTLERS Hospice (Frenchkiss) 2 FRUIT BATS The Ruminant Band (Sub Pop) 2 FROUT BATS The Ruminant Band (Sub Pop) 3 MURDERBOT Murderbot!

A young woman with light blonde hair wearing glasses and a striped top is sitting next to another person. Both are smiling at the camera. Seeing a difference: Writer Hailey Osterhaus (left) shown a few months before her surgery with her roommate, Jacquelyn Meiners, recently put her years of wearing glasses and contacts behind her went she underwent LASIK surgery to correct her vision. All I could see was a bright white ring around a blinking red dot. Everything else around me had disappeared. My heart was pounding while I lay on my back with my hands tightly clasped together and my jaw clenched. All of my muscles went tense and before my vision faded to black, I felt a hand gently settling onto mine. Contributed photo That was when I knew that this was going to hurt. What I didn't know was that Laser-Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) eye surgery was not only going to change the way I see, but the way I live my life as well. I started having problems with my sight when I was about 7 years old. I'd watch PBS in the mornings and always end up seeing two Mr. Rodgers or two LeVar Burtons. When my mom noticed I'd been covering one eye while watching the screen, she'd ask why, and I'd simply respond, "I see two TVs." Shortly after, I found myself in the optometrist's chair awaiting his diagnosis of farsightedness and astigmatism. In other words, my vision sucked. After I went through three pairs of glasses, I started poking soft lenses onto my eyes in the sixth grade. The contacts were wearable but the expense was outrageous. For every year's supply of contacts and doctor appointments, my parents would shell out about $600. Considering the price of LASIK — about $3,600 — and the price of buying contacts for the next 30 years of my life — $18,000 — my parents were doing me a huge favor. I moved fast before my time on my mom and dad's insurance ran out and booked an appointment. I found a place I was comfortable with, went to a free consultation and then set the date for my surgery: Sept. 4, 2009. When I went under the laser, my eyes were numb and I had a pill of Valium in my system courtesy of the doctors. To check if I was sane enough for the procedure, a nurse asked me common questions. The planning was simple and everything seemed easy and calm. But that was before I settled myself onto the operating table. "What's your full name?" "Hailey Osterhaus." "How are you feeling?" "And what are we doing for you today, Hailey?" "Fine." "Slicing my eyeballs open! I mean, correcting my vision." Lying on my back, I clasped my hands together as the doctor lowered a circular tool onto my eye to hold it in place. While the suction ring was on my eye, the pressure was painful. I flinched and the nurse quickly grasped my hands. Meanwhile, my vision slowly faded to black. This was when he sliced the top layer of my cornea, making a flap. Luckily, I didn't feel the slicing, but the pressure on my eyeball was almost unbearable. Twenty seconds later, my sight came back as he lifted the suction ring off of my eye. Then I saw the red dot that was actually the point of the laser. When the doctor turned on the laser, there was a clapping noise that sounded similar to crackling fire. As the laser was reshaping my cornea, the smell of burning hair hit my nose. The doctors said that this wasn't the smell of my eye burning but actually a fume from the laser. But I couldn't get away from the thought that the smell was fumes from the laser ... burning my eyes. When the doctor turned the laser off, the hinged layer of my cornea was flipped back onto the front of my eye. The doctor gently sponged it back in place and put drops of solution into my eye. The solution felt like a stream of cool water running over you when it's the middle of summer and 100 degrees outside. When he was finished torturing me with his tools, I rose from the table and everything looked as if I were under water. When I went into the bathroom and stared into the mirror, my eyes stared back at me. They were dark pink and splotched with blood. It looked like I hadn't slept for months. The only thing I could do to stand the burning pain was shut my eyes and lubricate them when they were open. After one eye was done, the doctor moved directly to my other eye, spending only 10 minutes on each of them. But while I slept that first night, my eyes miraculously healed. I woke up the next morning and saw clear numbers on my alarm clock. I reached for my glasses, but when I snapped out of my half-asleep stupor, I shot up in bed and gazed around my room in awe. I didn't have to look around for my glasses and I didn't have to decide if I wanted to wear contacts for the day either. I looked into the mirror and saw that my eyes were still pink but the image in the mirror was completely clear so I didn't care how I looked, just that I could see. Nearly a month after the surgery, I still find myself reaching up to my face to take off my glasses before I go to bed. And I still dread putting in or taking out my contacts until I remember that I don't need them anymore. But what is really great about these realizations is that I am reminded how lucky I am to receive a surgery that gave me 20/20 vision. I would recommend it to every person who wears contacts and glasses. Sure the surgery is painful, but 20 minutes of pain is nothing compared to the remaining years of life free from glasses and contacts.

The ban is intended to stop young people from picking up the habit. According to the FDA, 17 year-old smokers are three times as likely to smoke these varieties than 25 year-old smokers. Alex Noor, the owner of the Tobacco Mart on 23rd St., received a letter about the ban about two months ago. Even though he stopped ordering the flavored cigarettes, he still has some in his inventory. He said he was not clear on what to do with them. "I guess we're supposed to throw them away or destroy them." Noor said. "I don't really know." He said he was not too concerned about the ban because flavored cigarettes only made up about 1 percent of his total sales. -Zach White GAME DAY Parking turns a profit for students BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com Home football games have always been a big event at the University, but with the team's recent bowl game victories, Saturdays have become even more highly anticipated. With more tailgating and more people crowding onto campus, there's one thing that will be in short supply at tomorrow's game: parking. Some students attempt to capitalize on that shortage by charging for parking in their driveways and yards - prime positions for tailgating - and can make upwards of $200 per game. Alyson Lippert, Overland Park sophomore, rents a house near Ninth and Missouri streets and said this was her first season charging for parking. The owner of the house suggested to Lippert and her roommates to charge for parking to make some extra cash on game days. "For me, it goes into savings," Lippert said. "I don't work that much so I don't make a lot of money, and so I need it for summer and stuff that I really need." Lippert and her roommates charge $30 per car and make between $150 to $210 each home game. They split the income three ways. Joel Cundiff, Overland Park senior, rents a house near Ninth and Maine Streets and said he and his roommates put the money from parking to good use. "We use it to pay for our utilities and the extra stuff around the house." Cundiff said. Cundiff said they usually made $200 at each home game by charging $20 per car. Cundiff and his roommates have a verbal agreement with their homeowner who only has one stipulation: a parking spot has to be saved for him each home game. SAFETY Joe Kieltyka, Cundiff's homeowner, said a lot of homeowners don't let students keep the money charged for parking, but he said SEE PARKING ON PAGE 3A Recent assault gives good reason to review importance of self-defense BY LAUREN HENDRICK lhendrick@kansan.com It's been a week of fright for many young women living in Oliver Hall, 1815 Naismith Drive, after a freshman woman was knocked unconscious and raped in her dorm room last Sunday night.

According to state budget reports, the tax jump increased state revenue to more than $129 million in the first year — an additional $81 million. Since that time, the amount of money collected from state cigarette taxes has declined. In fact, approved revenue from the state cigarette tax for this fiscal year, which began July 1, is $102 million, a decline of about 26 percent from seven years ago. That's still double what the state made before the tax increase, said Mary Jayne Helleburt, executive director of the Tobacco Free Kansas Coalition. But as economic times get tougher and federal tobacco taxes get higher, smokers are learning to either curb their addiction or find other means to alleviate their nicotine cravings. Anderson said he started rolling his own cigarettes freshman year, both for the novelty and for the decreased cost. Now he only rolls when he doesn't have enough money for the Pall Malls, which he said was about every two weeks. Three years ago, he said he could make about 30 cigarettes for $1.10. That cost has increased to about $4.25, he said, but it's still 10 cents cheaper per cigarette than the ones that come in a box. Part of that is because loose tobacco qualifies as one of many "other tobacco products", which also includes chewing tobacco. In Kansas, OTPs are taxed, and have been since 1972, at 10 percent of the manufacturer's cost. OTPs are expected to generate $5.8 million for this fiscal year. CESSATION The deterrent effect the tax has on smokers is one of the top benefits of the tax cited by its proponents. Several studies have found that a 10 percent increase in tobacco tax reduces overall cigarette consumption by 3 to 5 percent. That number jumps to as high as 7 percent for minors. When Kansas passed its tax increase in 2002, the number of smoking adults ages 18 to 24 declined about 5 percentage points during the next year, according to a survey conducted by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. As of 2007, that number had declined another 10 percentage points. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found more conservative results, noting a 12-percentage-point drop for that age group in Kansas from 2001 to 2007. "Price is a strong deterrent to smoking." Hellebust said. "Particularly with young folks who have other things they might want to purchase." This has held true for Dean Fessenden, Junction City senior, who decided to kick the habit last Sunday after six years of on and off smoking. "I'm broke," he said. "It's too expensive a habit for me to keep up." He said he started budgeting the cost of his cigarettes — $5.36 for his Camels — with necessities such as rent and electricity, before finally realized he didn't have enough income to pay for it all. But for smokers like Anderson and Cento, quitting hasn't yet become an option. "There's really nothing we as smokers can do about it," Anderson said. "They've got us in their evil clutches because of their addictive chemicals." Ken Sarber, health educator, with Student Health Services, said he had helped dozens of students quit smoking, but the main motivator couldn't be the price per pack. "There have to be more reasons than just cost for people to successfully quit smoking," he said. The next legislative session for Kansas meets in January, at which point leaders of the state will decide the fate of the tobacco tax. Until then, Kansas will most likely retain its place as the 35th highest state tax on cigarettes in the United States. - Edited by Megan Morriss SAFETY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) A A self-defense class will be held at the Ambler Student Recreational Fitness Center on Oct. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. "The point is we were always considering our safety," McKay said.

Robertson said Oliver was scheduled for renovation in the "distant future" and student housing was taking suggestions to make students feel safer. Matheny said since the incident had occurred she made the decision with a group of friends to enroll in a self-defense class. Annie McKay, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said three self-defense classes were held every semester to teach students how to respond to attacks. The last class offered this semester is scheduled for Oct. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Ambler Student Recreational Fitness Center. The class is free and anyone can register by calling. "The point is we're always considering our safety," McKay said. "People need to consider safety 24 hours a day, seven days a week." McKay said students could adopt a number of habits to ensure their safety. She said students needed to be more aware of their surroundings, by maybe taking headphones off while walking, not texting while walking and observing their surroundings. She said little changes in awareness could make all the difference. — Edited by Lauren Cunningham SAFETY TIPS - Don't hesitate to report suspicious activity to police, apartment/complex managers and/or campus authorities. - Be aware of your environment — someone following you, suspicious car in your parking lot. - Install good locks on your doors, windows and sliding glass doors.

NATIONAL Jordanian man arrested in Dallas on bomb charges DALLAS — A 19-year-old Jordanian man living in Texas was arrested Thursday on charges he intended to bomb a Dallas skyscraper, federal officials said. Hosam Maher Husein Smadi was arrested after placing what he believed to be a car bomb outside the 60-story Fountain Place office tower Thursday, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas. The decoy device was given to him by an undercover FBI agent, the statement said. Smadi is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. White declined to comment on the specifics of the case He was in federal custody in Dallas without bond, said Special Agent Mark White, spokesman for the Dallas FBI office. An undercover FBI agent discovered Smadi in an online group of extremists, according to an FBI affidavit that did not specify a date.. "He stood out based on his vehement intention to actually conduct terror attacks in the United States," FBI supervisory special agent Thomas Petrowski wrote in the affidavit. met with Smadi over several months, posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell, according to the court documents. Three undercover agents eventually communicated and Agents provided Smadi with what he believed was a car bomb but was actually an inert device, according to Petrowski's affidavit. Smadi drove to Dallas on Thursday, met one of the undercover agents and then drove to the targeted building, the FBI agent wrote. Smadi then allegedly drove a vehicle with the device inside into the parking garage beneath the building, parked it and attempted to detonate the bomb. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS... WEAR GELMETS.

Live models help students learn to accurately draw the human form, one of the most difficult figures in art. Models enhance class experience BY ABIGAIL BOLIN abolin@kansan.com Standing completely naked in front of a classroom full of students is not a nightmare for Olivia Hernandez — it's her job. Models like Hernandez, a junior from Baker University, pose nude for art students in three-hour life drawing classes each week. "Here's my naked body!" Hernandez explained of what she thinks while posing. "When you're naked in front of someone you're going to have sex with, they're judging your body. The students aren't thinking whether "It's art, it's beautiful, and it should be celebrated." OLIVIA HERNANDEZ Art class model or not my boobs are big enough, they're observing linee tone and volume." Art student Katherine Perez said the use of nude models is extremely important for the education of student because of the level of difficulty associated with the human form. "They are an irreplaceable resource that is crucial to the process of creating art and learning technique," Perez, Wichita senior, said. "The human form is one of the most used subjects in the fine arts. If anything I respect them for their willingness to put themselves out there for the arts." Lack of knowledge on the subject led to derogatory, lewd and immature actions by students outside the figure drawing classes trying to catch a peck of the nude models, an assistant professor of a life drawing class said. Nude modeling is not synonymous with pornography, which is a common misconception according to Hernandez — it's about art. "At first my mom just thought I just took my clothes of for money," Hernandez said. "After seeing CELEBRITY Girlfriend to Jackson's physician testifies some of the artwork done of me, her whole mindset changed. It's art, it's beautiful and it should be celebrated." Since the human form varies from person to person, many different models are employed to expose the artists to all forms. LOS ANGELES — The girlfriend of Michael Jackson's personal physician has finished giving testimony before a grand jury in Los Angeles. A person must be naked to see the differences in muscle tone and bone structure, said Kent Van Dusseldorp, a 55-year-old model from Kansas City. "Because the human body is one of the hardest things to draw." Dusseldorp clarified, "if you can draw it, you can draw most anything else." Shannon Bybee, the assistant to the chairman of the visual art department, expressed the importance of using live models as opposed to other mediums for art classes. She said a live person must be used in order to capture the true form of the human body mannequins and dolls are not an option. "Well Barbie is definitely not in proportion," Bybee said. "I am extremely comfortable with my body now; you kind of have to be," Hernandez said. Posing nude has helped Hernandez learn some life lessons and grow as a person. One incident in Hernandez's posing career helped her get over any insecurses she may have had. After going in to work not feeling well, Hernandez passed out in the middle of posing. "Once I blacked out and woke up butt-ass naked with my head in some random student's lap." Hernandez said. The paramedics were taking my blood pressure with my vagina in their face. That taught me to be able to laugh at myself real quick." —Edited by Abbey Strusz Joseph Low, the attorney for Nicole Alvarez, said his client spoke to the jury Thursday and briefly the day before. He's not allowed to discuss what Alvarez was asked, but said she was cooperative and gave testimony willingly.

Witnesses say she had just given blood. "She landed on the concrete and hit her head," Samantha Strobing, St. Louis graduate student, said. "She passed out and fell into the bus lane," George Magnuson, Topeka senior said. "She was just standing there. She turned towards the engineering complex and just fell over backwards." Samantha Strobing, St. Louis senior, said she and other students called 911 after she hit her head. A bus driver who could not be identified said he pulled up to the bus stop and could not see the woman on the ground.

Associated Press ASPEN, Colo. — A Pomeranian has been kicked out of a Colorado resort town after getting in trouble for biting and other bad behavior. NATIONAL Pomeranian in dog house for bad behavior Jesse Rangel and Megan Heacock Municipal Judge Brooke Peterson told the dog's owner, Melinda Goldrich, that if the dog is seen again in Aspen, it will be rounded up by animal control officers and put to death. Goldrich was in court Wednesday on a charge of keeping a vicious dog. An out-of-town friend has offered to take the dog. Goldrich had been under a court order to not leave Gizmo unattended after the dog bit another person in February. She also was cited in 2006 for the animal's bad behavior. An Aspen fitness club employee says the Pomeranian, named Gizmo, bit her in August while it was tied to a fence. The dog served 10 days in an animal shelter. Pomeranians are long-haired and small, typically 3 to 7 pounds. She said she thought it was triggered by her walk from the blood drive in the Kansas Union to Mallott Hall. Hodges said paramedics gave her fluids, CROSSROADS IKC 412 E 18th ST KGMO GRENDERS VERIZON WIRELESS CONCERT SERIES SAT SEP26 ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND THU OCT 15 LITTLE FEAT w SPILT LP RNWIELD /STONEY LARRIE CROSSROADSKEG 412 E 180TH M KCWO AT GILTWELL VERIZON WIRELESS CONCERT SERIES SAT SEP26 ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND TUE SEP 29 CITIZEN COPE TUE OCT 6 WILCO w/ Liam Fun FRI OCT 9 STRYPER THU OCT 15 LITTLE FEAT w/SPLIT UP RUNFIELD/STONEY LARUE FRI OCT 16 GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY w/The Glitch Mob TUE OCT 6 WILCO on Lawn Funn verizon wi-fi/858 Pitch WWW.CROSSBROADSK.COM TWO SHOWS!

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday found himself fending off barbs by a member of his own party — former eBay CEO and Republican candidate for governor Meg Whitman. Schwarzenegger, speaking to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, dismissed Whitman's recent statements that, if elected governor, she would suspend the California Global Warming Solutions Act until its effects on the economy are better understood. "I would pay no attention to this kind of rhetoric and look toward the substance. ... This is not a political issue," the governor said in response to Whitman's statement. Immediately after the speech, Whitman issued a statement again slamming the law, referred to as AB32, calling it a "job-killing regulation." She previously made criti- ical comments in Orange County on Tuesday, when she formally announced her campaign for the GOP nomination next year. The global warming law, that Schwarzenegger signed in 2006, mandates that the state cut its emissions of greenhouse gases 25 percent by 2020. "I reject radical environmental policies that do little for the environment and devastate California's economic future," she said. "Liberal environmentalists may not like jobs or people, but California needs both." Find the following words below: GEL, CRUSTY, CLUELESS, DIRTY, SPIKES, FLAKES, GREASY, HARD, POOFY, CRISIS.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: THEY MADE A FOLLOW-UP TO THE MOVIE THAT WAS VERY POOR. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT AN EQUAL SEQUEL. Today's Cryptoquip Clue: O equals Y LITERATURE Former French president writes novel BY ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press PARIS — It was a passionate but hidden love. The president of the French Republic and the Princess of Cardiff had no choice. "ThePrincessandthePresident" recounts the ballet of secrecy led by a man of power and a royal beauty watched by the world — whom the novel's author, former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, says is Lady Di. The book is a bold venture for the 83-year-old Giscard d'Estaing whose stiff, pompous "au revoir" to the nation upon his defeat to Francois Mitterrand in 1981 remains the stuff of comedy routines. But who was the inspiration for the hero? A member of the prestigious Academie Francaise, the watchdog of the French language, Giscard d'Estaina has written books in the past, like the weighty "The State of France" or three tomes on "Power and Life." His new creation, in bookstore Thursday, has taken everyone aback. "Diana-Giscard. And If It Were True," reads the headline of an article in the glossy magazine Paris Match whose cover features the two standing in gown and tux at a state affair in 1994 at the Chateau of Versailles, their arms touching. Is art imitating life in the work by Giscard d'Estaing, who like many other French leaders maintained a reputation as a womanizer? The former president resolves half the mystery in an interview published Thursday. He confirms that Princess Patricia of Cardiff is, indeed, modeled after the Princess of Wales. He also says that he and Princess Diana discussed his writing a love story revolving around a world leader. Their last conversation on the subject, in June 1997, came six weeks before her death in a car accident in Paris with her lower Dodi Fayed. The book's dedication reads: "Promise kept ..." "I considered it a promise I had to fulfill," Giscard was quoted as saying in the newsweekly Le Point. "This is a novel in which Princess Diana is the main figure," Giscard d'Estaing told Le Point. "I wanted to pay homage by bringing her to life again" and correcting the image of a princess he believed was misrepresented in the press. "I invented the facts," he said. However, Giscard d'Estaing maintains the ambiguity about their relationship. He said he saw her in London three months after their first meeting — like the story says — "and afterward, we saw each other numerous times."

Students will find that a trip to the market not only supports their community, but is a way to absorb local culture and just simply eat food that tastes good. According to its Web site, the market began on a Saturday morning more than 30 years ago with as few as five vendors. It has now grown to boast more than 80 vendors, and is open from the last weekend in April to the second Saturday in November. Megan Paisley, who travels from outside Lawrence to sell fresh. KANSAN'S OPINION made pizza rolls, mini baked pies and fresh salsa. And it's also a cure for Saturday morning food cravings She also said she liked knowing all the other vendors had produced the products themselves. Something that makes the market unique is that it is a "producer-only" market, meaning the customer is purchasing and interacting directly with the grower, farmer, rancher or baker. Along with traditional produce such as tomatoes and corn, there are a variety of unconventional items ranging from elk meat, emu lotion and babaganoush to pickled asparagus and fresh flowers. Particularly for students who miss Mom's cooking, there are a variety of prepared foods such as home- with breakfast burritos and sausage biscuits that make McDonald's look like something you would feel bad feeding your dog. watching chef demonstrations, such as Genovese's Chef Armando Paniagua prepare gnocchi, and listening to local musicians while you browse. Two musical performances and one performing artist are permitted per market day, which means a wide variety of music. The market is also reaching out to the community by accepting food stamps, and the Lawrence Community Shelter residents operate a booth with their business Good Dog! Biscuits and Treats. LCS guests run all aspects of this business, and proceeds go to the employees and back into continuing the business. Other benefits include A new aspect to the market began after a state law was passed on July 1. Now, along with your vegetables, Kansas wineries are selling local wine at the market. The market does start early on a Saturday, lasting from 7 to 11 a.m. However, the food alone makes it worth the early rise. The market is located in the public parking lot between Eighth and Nineth streets and New Hampshire and Rhode Island streets. If it still seems too early, a smaller version of the Saturday market takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. in the public parking lot between Tenth and Eleventh streets on the east side of Vermont Street. Set your alarm, plan for an afternoon nap and make your way to the Saturday morning Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market. It is a community experience with many mouth-watering reasons to visit.

Log in to Facebook, see what your friends are up to, find out what everyone else you kind of know (but never see) is doing, write on a couple of walls and log out. Twitter, a hugely successful online community revolving around what are essentially Facebook status updates, has similarly enjoyed a dramatic increase in users recently. Twitter, like Facebook, also offers its users an immediate outlet to the world that is rarely, if ever, censored. Since it opened its doors to anyone with an e-mail address, however, Facebook has become a juggernaut in social media and now allows its millions of users to post multimedia on their own and others' pages, chat with each other online and even get notified via Facebook when their favorite artist is coming into town. What Facebook and Twitter have been so successful at achieving in THOUGHTS FROM A HIP-HOP HEAD BEN GOLDHAM CHECK'EM OUT recent years has been allowing its users the freedom to voice their opinion and comment on or post anything they please (for the most part).

Artists suddenly had the opportunity to increase the exposure to their work considerably, and hip-hop heads had unlimited access to a seemingly infinite treasure trove of new music, all for free and all with the freedom to comment on and notify others of the new tracks with ease. It was a win-win for hip-hop on both sides. Facebook and Twitter have effectively conquered the world of social media, and the word of hip-hop is spreading like wildfire. All it takes is an artist to post a single link to a download page and the frenzy begins. One recipient tweets the link to a friend or posts it on their wall and all of a sudden astounding Blogs, which usually all have their own Facebook and Twitter pages, have also had a great impact on the hip-hop community and the availability of new hip-hop to loyal fans. Again, all it takes is one minuscule leak and the entire world can have an album before it's officially released. A recent and excellent example of this is Jay-Z's new album "The Blueprint 3". It was set to be released Sept. 11 but was leaking through several blogs a month early and had completely leaked about a week before the release date. Blogs gather the newest music released by the most mainstream and obscure artists and provide hip-hop heads around the world with gold day after day, and it's all for free. numbers of people have access to an artist's work they would have never had the opportunity to hear before.

FASHION The rise and fall of fashion trends Remember gaucho pants? You know, those pants that made wearers risk looking like a hippie or a pirate. The must-have piece in the '70s that somehow made their way back into fashion a few years ago. They were all the rage circa 2005, despite that they didn't look good on most everyone. Each season a few designs are chosen to be mass-produced must have, only to be kicked out of the style world faster than last year's Jimmy Choo. Trends are designed for the now and are not designed to stay in style for long, forcing consumers to buy new trend pieces every year. The world of fashion is a complicated one. The industry can be broken down into facets such as designers, manufacturers, buyers, seamstresses, marketers and of course the fashionistas who allow the industry to thrive. But there is a dark side to the world of fashion that's only goal is to sell, and sell as much as they can. They are the mass marketers who produce trends. The concept of trends is flawed because it's impossible to design something that will look good on every body type. Trends are expected to be worn by the masses, but, like all clothing styles, they don't look good on everyone. If you wear something that doesn't work for your body type, it's not going to look right just because everyone else is wearing it. It's easy to fall for a trend. When an article of clothing has been mass produced to appear in every store, it seems logical to own it. And now that the fashion merchandising industry tells you what to wear, it's so convenient to just pick it up and put it on. Think before you buy. Before spending your money ask yourself, "Will this trend last?" Think scrunchies. Yes, it's fun to match THE HEMLINE ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO Timelessness, versatility and functionality are characteristics of trends that last. When celebrities arrived at the 2006 Academy Awards in gowns with pockets, many viewers did not approve. But once the convenience of putting your cell phone and lip gloss in a pocket instead of having to carry around a clutch was noted, pockets began, and continue, to appear on everything from sun dresses to formal skirts. your hair to your shirt, but they don't hold hair well and are a little obnoxious. It's OK; I miss them, too. Think carpenter jeans. Sure, they're convenient if you're working on a construction site. But other than that, what's the point? — your money is better spent on something you actually like. Never be afraid to go against the trends; individuality is always in style. Don't underestimate the power of a trend. Slap a trusted brand name on the most obscure thing, and it will somehow find its way into your closet. (I bet you never thought funny packs would make a comeback.) Don't buy something just because it's all the rage Esposito is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and film. t Follow Kansan columnist Alexandra Esposito at twitter.com/ TheHemlineKU. LETTER TO THE EDITOR The engineering department and the English department don't brawl in front of Wescoe LETTER TO Fighting athletes taint KU image It's a crisp fall morning and instead of the rustle of leaves ushering in winter, all I can hear are shouts. It's about 10 a.m. and the football and basketball players are at the peak of immaturity. Apparently round two has commenced after the previous night's altercation that sent Tyshawn Taylor to the hospital with a dislocated thumb. — though I admit it would be entertaining — and they are just as competitive as the aforemen. I'm slightly impressed — it takes me a few hours in the morning to rev up my gears enough to be anything more than placid. My overwhelming emotion, however, is embarrassment. It seems that every media outlet has caught wind of how selfish and childish our athletic teams are acting. It's a poor reflection of what this University actually represents — scholars. tioned sports teams. Granted, they have a smaller visible fan base, but they are still comparative. Unfortunately, as it pertains to this incident, the national media places a spotlight on the athletics of the University. The players who represent the Athletics Department are delegates to the reputation of this institution. When representatives behave in such a classless manner, they damage that which they represent. I'm not Lew Perkins, and I can't tell him how to act, but punishment is necessary. We cannot let the nation think we accept this behavior from students at our university. Championships and victories be damned, there must be accountability for the actions of our scholars. What we fail to realize is that all of the players on both teams are KU students. They attend classes, take tests and do homework. They are all representatives of the University and should behave accordingly. Evan Mielke is a freshman from Lawrence.

Three of these victims NATIONAL Attorneys ask for affidavit to be sealed were University students. Two of these victims, including the student who reported she was raped in her Oliver Hall dorm room, were told that they would have to go to a hospital in Topeka to have a rape kit administered because there were not enough nurses available who were qualified to collect this type of evidence to victims in all cases.

Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor, who dislocated his thumb in the scuffe Tuesday night, is ashamed and apologetic for his actions. "I am embarrassed about the situation," he said. "It was a situation none of us should have got ourselves into. We embarrassed our campus, our university, our team- both teams. It's a situation that shouldn't have happened. Looking back at it, I feel it was stupid. I wish I could take it back." He was not the only one taking responsibility for the stir. Senior guard Sherron Collins was also aware preventative actions could have ended the quarrel. "It was a group of individuals on both sides who let egos and pride get involved in something that could have been resolved and made something small become big," he said. Lots of questions were raised about Taylor's inappropriate Facebook status updates, and he confirmed he quotes song lyrics and has been for months. None of the quotes he posted, Taylor said, were directed toward any football player. "I made some comments that I shouldn't have made," he said. "It wasn't my intention on it being bad but that's how it was taken." As far as more disputes in the future, the players hope to have it behind them. In a meeting with @KANSAN.COM To read Dick Vitale's reaction about the quarrel between teams, read The Full Monty. The FULL MONTY football and basketball players held by athletic director Lew Perkins Wednesday, Collins said both parties "let everything go." --- Self acknowledged Taylor's actions were wrong. He knows him as somebody contrary to what the last few days have displayed. "For him to be portrayed as anything other than a good kid, that really made an ignorant play on doing that with his Facebook," Self said. "I think would totally be inaccurate." Junior Center Cole Aldrich was just as high on Taylor's character. Self would not elaborate on any disciplinary actions, but made one thing clear about the situation. "Tyshawn is one of the guys on the team that everybody loves," he said. "There's not one guy on the team you can't go up to, from the top to the bottom, and say What do you think about Tyshawn? They say 'You know what? He's a fun guy'." Self flew in Wednesday night to deal with the dispute, cutting short a recruiting trip. He said it wasn't the fact Taylor was injured that was upsetting. It was the fact Taylor put himself in the position. "I will tell you this," he said, "We are taking it very seriously."

BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com As soon as it happened two years ago — as soon as Aqib Talib picked off the pass and high-stepped into the end zone on that strangely cool night in Miami — the play settled into a part of Kansas football lore. That it happened on national television, for all to see, in the tradition-rich Orange Bowl made it highlight-worthy. What happened later made it classic and illuminated the mind set of football's most brash position: cornerback. On the field after Kansas' 24-21 victory against Virginia Tech, Talib, who now plays on Sundays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, erupted into a soliloquy backed by an ever-apparent belief in his own abilities. "That's why he's playing in the NFL," cornerbacks coach Je'Ney Jackson said.

Chief among these unknown facts is the offered service of personal training. The fair price of $24 will get a first time participant a fitness assessment and one hour session. Returning students are able to sign up packaged deals at a reduced price. The personal trainers are certified by the American Council on Exercise. Being certified, trainers at the recreation facility are allowed even as a fifth-year senior there are things I didn't know about the Ambler BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com to dispense advice on nutrition, proper form and technique. Other notable services at the recreation facility are fitness classes. Just like personal training, these classes are led by students who have gone through certification and training to be eligible to work at the facility. Some classes offered are meant to refuel and recharge the mind as much as the body. For instance, yoga and pilates are taught on Mondays and are great ways to stretch and lengthen tired muscle fibers. However, those students looking for a sweat will find plenty of classes to tire them out. A new class this fall, cardio cross train, puts participants through interval strength training mixed with high and low intensities of cardio. Or the internationally popular zumba class may get people's feet moving to latin and pop beats. I have to admit, I had always known that students could swim to get exercise but I never knew what times students were able to use the swimming facility. Unfortunately, some students may not even know where one can swim recreationally. The facility in question is Robinson Gymnasium which is located behind the tennis courts on Naismith Drive. Swim hours are open to students and faculty: Monday through Friday 5:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 2:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Avid recreational swimmers should take note to check with the facility ahead of time because swim meets take place there. Anyone who would take a stroll through the Ambler Fitness Center should take notice of fun diversions like table tennis set-ups, two racquetball courts and the popular basketball court. Also worth mentioning is a martial arts studio where members of sports clubs like judo and karate practice their craft. At a school where sports excellence is celebrated and well-entrenched in its history, it's refreshing to know that there is workout facility where everyone can feel like a champion. — Edited by Megan Morriss 2B SPORTS QUOTE OF THE DAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 "Angling — I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other." — Samuel Johnson FACT OF THE DAY Ray Evans holds the school record for interceptions in a career (17, 1941-42) and in a season (10, 1942).

Associated Press MORNING BREW Fighting isn't always a problem Everyone is in the mood for a fight these days. It happens all the time in sports. But does the entertainment value outweigh the damage it does to the integrity of the sport? Looking at a couple of the major sports, there are very few brawls we remember fondly in relation to how many there actually are. Probably the most significant of these was "Malice at the Palace" between the Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and the fans. It was bad then, but anyone who is boycotting the NBA because of that incident needs to ease up. Ron Artest isn't going around punching fans today or even before or after the incident. Guys can have hot tempers, especially Artest, who is one of the most physical players in the league. Close physical proximity between men is a good way to start an altercation. But I'm not making excuses. BY COREY THIBODEAUX At the time, it hurt the game severely, but a big part of that was the fan involvement. When kept within the confines of the arena, some fights live in infamy. Some of these fights can lead to respect for an individual rather than a blemish on the sport ESPN had a top 10 list or the best baseball fights, and Nolan Ryan's head bashing of Robin Ventura was ranked No. 1. The fans' general reaction was positive toward Ryan because he handled Ventura, who was 20 years younger, with ease, continued the game and pitched a gem. Hockey basically lives off these skirmishes. The NHL had to basically integrate fighting into the sport since that is what most people go to see. Part of a bockey team's roster makeup deals with a player's ability to fight. A team will hire a brute to protect their star players from injury. Imagine what would happen if every league did that. Let's not let these Jayhawk conflicts completely ruin the legacy of the teams and the college. The football team is having a great start to the year and there are enormous expectations for the basketball team. These players are also students and hopefully learn from these mistakes. Yes, a player was injured, but the overall damage was minimal. Hindsight may lead us to believe this could have benefited the growth of the players.

The first-year Broncos coach brought in safeties Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill, along with cornerback Andre Goodman, leaving eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, who was injured much of last season, as the lone holdover. The foursome has a combined 42 years of NFL experience playing for 11 different teams but the group has come together to be at the center of Denver's defensive turnaround in the opening weeks Going into Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos, who allowed 448 points last season and ranked at or near the bottom of virtually every major defensive category, lead the league in scoring defense (6.5 points per game). They also have the AFC's best turnover ratio, generating five takeaways (three interceptions and two fumbles) to one giveaway (fumbled kickoff). of the season. Dawkins, who became one of the league's premier safeties during his first 13 seasons, all in Philadelphia, said the communication among the secondary, from practice to adjustments made in the heat of a game have been central to the unit's budding chemistry and solidified play. "The communication back there is some of the best that I have been a part of," Dawkins said. "The way that we talk in the back end makes "That is one of the things that people don't realize. They say that we are a veteran group, but we are a veteran group with talent. All of us can play ball. It is exciting to be able to line up and look to the left and right of me and see the playmaking potential we have back there." the game that much easier. Each one of us, we each study film and we may pick up different things throughout the course of a week. If one of us sees something, we let everybody else know and correct things on the sideline. McDaniels said the foursome's level of experience and the players' willingness to engage one another and embrace the challenge of coming together to forge a viable secondary convinced him early on that the radical makeover carried low risks and the potential for major rewards.

After last season's loss to Oklahoma State, the women's soccer team is eager to not even with a win in today's game. Jayhawks want to even score with Cowgirls in matchup BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com The resentment is clear in Lauren Jackson's eyes at the mere mention of Oklahoma State. After a bitter loss to the Cowgirls last year, in which the Jayhawks gave up an equalizing goal with one minute left and eventually lost in overtime, the entire team is hoping for some revenge tonight in Stillwater Okla. Jackson, a junior defender, called that game "a heartbreaker." "We deserved to win that game last year," she said. "There's a lot of motivation for me, personally." Senior defender Estelle Johnson agreed that the team has extra incentive to win the matchup, which is Kansas' first Big 12 game of the year. "We felt like we worked too hard to lose that game," said Johnson. "Our extra motivation is getting that game that we felt like was stolen from us." But revenge won't come easy Follow Kansan writer Joel Peterson at twitter.com/ j_petter. against Oklahoma State, the defending Big 12 champions. Coach Mark Francis said the game would probably be the most difficult his team has had thus far. "We're playing the defending Big 12 champs on the road on Friday night," he said. "It doesn't really get any tougher than that." "We know that we can compete with them," said Johnson. "If we work hard we'll get the results that we deserve." Kansas isn't short on confidence going into the game, though. They claim the best overall record in the Big 12 at 7-1-1, while Oklahoma State is 6-3-0, including a 0-1 loss to Colorado in their conference opener. The highlight of Kansas' non-conference play was a 5-0 win over then-No. 18 San Diego State. Johnson said the team's consistency has been a major part of their early success and would continue to be imperative in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks will certainly have to work hard to win against a very athletic Cowgirl team, Francis said. The team's main focus in practice this week was quickening their playing speed, especially at midfield, to keep pace with Oklahoma State. TENNIS It's difficult to tell how Kansas stacks up against other teams in a typically tight Big 12 conference. But Francis said tonight will provide a good indicator for how well Kansas is prepared for the rest of their season. "I think playing the defending champs the first game lets you know right off the bat where you're at," he said. The game starts at 7 p.m., and can be followed via Gametracker on the Kansas Athletics Web site. AND THE WINNER IS ? THIS YEAR'S CALLED DAY SHIRT WILL BE ANNOUNCED MONDAY Edited by Abby Olcese Alison Hutchison Team shows confidence going into tournament Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN BY ANDREW POSCH aposch@kansan.com Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Senior Kuni Dorn returns a shot during a singles match against UMKC last spring at First Serve Tennis. This weekend's tournament will be the team's first since the season open Sept. 11-13. Women's tennis has defeated UMKC and Saint Louis University two years in a row. The last time they faced Illinois State University, in 2005, Kansas escaped with a 4-3 victory. With all three of those teams playing this weekend in Kansas home tournament, the squad has reason to be confident. "It's a good tournament to play lots of matches and hopefully we come out in first place," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. This is the first event for the Jawhayks since the fall season opened Sept. 11-13 in Wilmington, N.C., which freshman Sara Lazarevic called extremely tough. "Coach said that this tournament should be a little easier than the last one in Wilmington." Lazarevic said. "We've been working hard in practice, so we all have the expectation to do really well." She said she hopes to use this weekend's match experience to better prepare for the main season in the spring. "Maybe it'll be easier, but you never know." Dorn said. Kansas' opponents enter the fall season after finishing in low spots last spring within their respective conferences — with the exception of Illinois State. The Redbirds finished in fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference. UMKC finished seventh in the Summit League and Saint Louis took 11th in the Atlantic 10 Conference. A little easier still doesn't guarantee a high finish, though. According to senior Kuni Dorn, it all depends on the day and everyone still has to come out and be prepared to work their hardest. Despite last year's outcomes, coach Hall-Holt expects every member of the team to come out and compete hard. The lajayh squad hasn't played for almost two weeks, so practices have been preparation intensive. "We've been working a lot on consistency, especially in doubles," said Lazarevic, who will pair up this weekend with sophomore Ekaterina Morozova. After that 12-day break, players now have a chance to put their training into action. Some, though, have focused more on their individual goals. Dorn said she has been working on improving her anticipation and movement with hopes of implementing a more offensive game, rather than being stuck on the defensive end of points. Play begins at 9 a.m. today at First Serve in Lawrence, and will continue at the same time Saturday and Sunday.

The volleyball team will face off against Baylor this weekend in Waco, Texas. People who know senior middle blocker Brittany Williams say she has an aura about her that is present when talking to her. Volleyball was the one thing that staved with her through her move.

Associated Pres Hope for victory on the road VOLLEYBALL BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The road is long and often difficult for a Big 12 team. Volleyball is no exception. Kansas is coming off a hard fought five-set victory over Oklahoma and now will have to face a ranked Baylor team that is coming off of a sweep over No. 11 Iowa State.

Barnes is often seen making key digs and kills around the court. settar Nichole Tate said. "I'm excited to get going there." Kansas must limit its errors as the team is averaging over 30 errors per match in its three losses. Kansas also must learn to win on the road. The team went 1-9 last season on the road in the Big 12 and already lost its first game on the road this season. "We are going to have to win some big matches on the road in order to be competitive in the Big 12," said Garlington. "We have to remember to play our game regardless of the environment," junior libero Melissa Manda said. Garlington said that there is no reason that Kansas cannot win on the road and the team needs to take advantage of opportunities to win some road games. —Edited by Jonathan Hermes CHIEFS Contract sets high expectations BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One game into his career as quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, Matt Cassel finds himself surrounded by skeptical fans and critical media. The endorsement he got this week from his head coach? Lukewarm at best. "I don't think a contract has anything to do with it," Cassel said Thursday, his appointed day to speak with the media. "I think they're going to play the best person out there." Maybe it's a good thing Cassel never reads the newspaper, listens to the radio talk shows or watches sports on television. Otherwise, he might get the idea that some people are wondering if his guaranteed $28 million contract is the reason he's starting against Philadelphia this week and Brodie Crovie is not. That's exactly what coach Todd Haley keeps saying, that his message will be consistent with every position regardless of how high a player was drafted or how much his contract might cost owner Clark Hunt. just like every other position as he sets about repairing a franchise that's won only two of its last 27 games. "Obviously, I think they feel I'm the best guy for the job." MATT CASSEL Chiefs quarterback consideration. He's known to be a point of pride to general manager Scott Pioli, who drafted him at New England, brought him to Kansas City and gave him the first megaback deal he's negotiated as a GM. But Haley keeps saying that not even all that will buy Cassel one extra minute to prove himself, that quarterback will be evaluated "You've got to ultimately do what you think gives your team terms. the best chance to win", Haley said. "If that means another quarterback being in there other than Matt Cassel, then sign me up" Cassel insists he sees it in no other "I think they're going to play the best person out there," Cassel said. "Obviously, I think they feel I'm the best guy for the job. Otherwise, going into the season I wouldn't have been offered what I was offered."

Often times, corners cannot.

But even the highly-scrutinized quarterback position can get away with subtle mistakes. Jackson said. "Usually if a corerback messes up, it results in a touchdown." Those familiar with the position from Jackson to much of Kansas' starting secondary say the position must be "With playing conerback, if you give up one, everyone sees it." played fearlessly. Mistakes are going to be made and receivers are going to make catches. JE'NEY JACKSON Cornerback coach And everyone watching is going to notice. The best cornerbacks, though, toss the miscues aside, leaving them in the past in order to focus solely on the upcoming play. Sounds easy, but with only 40 seconds between each snap, the ability to cleanly wipe one's memory must be instantaneous. Mississippi is that Kansas' secondary will experience its best test of the non-conference season. "They say you have to have a short memory," senior defensive back Justin Thornton said. "If something bad happens, you have to forget it. We'll talk about it later and go over it in film. But right there, at the moment, it's something you have to forget about and keep playing." In fairness, that same label was draped on UTEP's offense, which did little to test, let alone challenge, Kansas during the second game of the season. But at the minimum Southern Mississippi's offense possesses a large, top-notch weapon.

Senior cornerback Justin Thorton tackles a Duke player during the game last Saturday against Duke. Thorton had a total of six tackles in the game. 1,117 yards and 121 touchdowns as a freshman. "He's a big guy and very. athletic," coach Mark Mangino said. "What he is, basically, is a tight end with great athletic skills out in space." The responsibility of stopping Brown, who is still returning This season junior cornerback Chris Harris said the Jayhawks have played a high-volume of series using man-to-man coverages, meaning one defensive back is saddled with the job of stopping "If you're out there playing timid he's going to think "This guy doesn't want to be physical and I'll be able to push him around more," sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson said. "I'm going to make sure we tell coach that we want to go at him even more." Jackson and Mangino both said that little will be changed to prepare for the disadvantages offered by Brown's size. The only change highlighted by most members of the secondary related to the supremely physical approach larger receivers tend to use during games. one wide receiver. "When the ball's in the air," senior defensive back Justin Thornton said, "you have to press into him a little bit and just make sure you go up and get it. Because if you don't, I'm sure he will." If that trend continues Saturday, one of Kansas' defensive backs will be shorter than Brown by, at the very least, five inches. --- Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN The same season Aqib Talib returned an interception against Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, Chris Harris was playing corner on the opposite side of the field. He was just a freshman then, and was named the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year. As a sophomore, though, Harris played so sporadically that he eventually lost his starting spot. He said he played with fear. In the world of cornerbacks, confidence is king. Without possessing that trait in large quantities, the position becomes nearly impossible. "That's the most important thing," jackson said. "Confidence is the most important thing. If a cornerback loses confidence, then it only goes downhill from there." It's something Jackson preaches to his pupils every day, and something the position strictly demands. versatile defenders, has played every position in the secondary. And he's played them all for significant portions of time. Thornton, one of Kansas' most "When I used to play safety, I'd say it was way harder than corner," Thornton said. "Then when I started playing corner for a little bit it completely changed my mind." Most plays, then, result in a one-on-one match up, either in coverage or in attempting to make a tackle. Thornton said that playing in space increases the difficulty of competing tasks such as tackling since the ball carrier has more directional options and subsequent moves to choose from. "It's pretty lonely during the game," Harris said. In the pass-happy big 12, where teams routinely use three and four receivers, Kansas' secondary will be challenged and called up each week. Much of that pressure will rest with the cornerbacks. "It's crazy because at a lot of the other positions and you mess up, it doesn't get noticed," Thornton said. "But when you're out there at cornerback and a receiver catches a ball, you miss a tackle, you make a mistake, it's out there for everybody to see." "Every mistake you make is seen" Penguins player injures groin early in game ASSOCIATED PRESS Edited by Jonathan Herme COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sidney Crosby left the Pittsburgh Penguins' 5-2 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets early in the first period Thursday night because of a groin injury that the team said wasn't believed to be serious. Crosby played three shifts totaling 1 minute, 37 seconds before skating to the bench about 5 minutes into the game. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said he wasn't concerned when Crosby left the bench and walked through the tunnel to the dressing room. "it's better to stay off it. I'm hoping for just a few days," Crosby said. "I've hurt my groin before. It's not as bad. I think I missed five games with one last year. It's just something you have to be careful with." "It was more precautionary than anything else," Bylsma said. "It's been tight for a couple of days." Crosby hopes to play in the final preseason game Sunday at Detroit in a rematch of the last season's Stanley Cup final won by the Benguins. "Tomorrow (Friday) I won't skate. but Saturday I'll try to get on the ice for however long and test it out," he said. "It's kind of a day-by-day thing. I'd love to play Sunday. That's what I hope but really don't know with groins. I'm cautious about it but I'm not worried. "It was sore. We all deal with sore groins this time of the year, especially in camp. Usually once you warm up it gets better. I felt it was getting more sore." He wasn't sure if the three-hour bus ride to Columbus contributed to the injury. "When you're sitting there it's tightening up," he said. "It's probably not the best for it but I don't think it's the sole reason. It probably didn't help." Jakub Voracek, Derick Brassard and Rick Nash each had a goal and an assist, and Michael Blunden and Derek MacKenzie also scored for Columbus, Evgeni Malkin scored the Penguins' first goal and assisted on Nate Guenin's goal.

Associated Press ROWING New rowers learn sport together BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com A dazzling boathouse fully equipped with a workout room, flat screen TVs and an artillery of boats and oars overlooks the olive-tinted Kansas river. It stands tall, an anomaly to the surroundings by Burcham Park in north Lawrence — a seemingly forgotten wasteland of rickety train tracks, gnarled grass, muck infested waters and a parking lot. This used to be all that the Kansas rowing team had. Now, they turn the page with the boathouse as the empowering symbol to their transition. The next step: building a team. Most of the girls on the team had never done this before. Some players said growing up they were expected to play soccer or softball. It's just not as easy to find a body of water, a boat and an oar as it is to find a bunch of girls with cleats, shin guards and a soccer ball. So year after year, coach Rob Catloth must teach a fresh batch of athletes a sport they've never known. "It's like learning a foreign language," Catloth said. "You've got to learn the nautical terminology." Then comes the work on the boat. While rowing may look like a grueling test to the biceps, Catloth insists that the key to maximizing your physical potential lies in the back muscles. t "We're trying to improve technique every day," Catloth said. "Let it be awkward until it's natural." Follow Kansan writer Max Rothman at twitter.com/ maxrothman. Kathryn Schoonover, who is rowing for her second year, said the coaches are well aware of the lack of experience throughout the team. Sophomore "They really understand that most girls have never seen this before," Schoonover said. With a group of such little experience, the majority of practices are held on the water. Associate head coach Jennifer Myers is in charge of the novice group and she tails the two boats of eight girls during practice with her own motorboat, critiquing their every move through a megaphone. "Everyone's started in the same position," Myers said. "You've got to work yourself up." Everyone starts from nowhere and works their way to triumph together. Unity is an integral theme to a sport that relies on synchronization. Together, the girls lift the boat and take it to the water. Together, they sit in the boat, learning the sport with every sweep, taking with them every bit of advice they can garner. Together the girls then take the boat out of the water and clean it. And after it all, together they get a cool drink and laugh about it. "Being together almost five hours a day will get you close fast," Schoonover said. "If you didn't like it, you wouldn't be here." KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS KANSAS Rowers work together at the 2009 Big 12 Rowing Championship. New rowers often have no previous knowledge of the sport and must start from the beginning at the University level. COACH CATLOTH SAYS: "Shoulders straight and level!" "Water's not something you wanna fight. You'll lose!" — Catoll preaches that the easier it is to row, the faster you'll go. When one rower said that she liked making herself work, Catoll advised otherwise. "Don't drop the hands down!" — In order to maximize the use of the oar, it is essential to keep your hands elevated at a certain position. That way, the blade of the oar strikes the perfect amount of water to make your boat speed ahead. shoulder and knee and foot. — It is easy to let the power of the water take you over. By keeping your shoulders straight, you are enabling your body to rely on all the right muscles and keep your oar at perfect angle. perfect angle. "Don't let your back collapse!" - While rowing uses all of the major muscles in your body, none are more important than back muscles. By keeping your back upright and strong, you are getting the most out of your muscles and making your boot as fast as it can be. 9th & Iowa 785.856.8877 — Max Rothman Eyeglasses For Less Sitting around, cracking jokes and stretching before practice, the team collectively noticed three naked people sitting on a small island in the middle of the river. One girl shouted, "I want to go over there!" The rest of the girls pointed and giggled — just a standard day at rowing practice. It is this ability to have fun as a group that will translate to success on the water. Catloth said when everyone enjoyed being a team was when you began to row as a team and reach unprecedented heights. "You definitely have a stronger team when they're focused on one goal, working towards that goal," Catloth said. Then, the metamorphosis has been made. Your "By the end of March, they've got to be ready to compete as Division 1 athletes."

The Blue Devils had just blocked an extra point attempt and one of their players scooped up the ball. He was headed for the Jayhawks end zone and no was going to stop him. No one except Kerry Meier. SCOTT TOL'AND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor Meier saved two points for Kansas by chasing down the Duke defender. But it wasn't easy. After holding the ball for kicker Jacob Branstetter, Meier had to spring to his feet and chase the returner for about 60 yards before pushing him out of bounds. Kerry Meier was the only Kansas player with a chance to make the play. And Kerry Meier got the job done. Seconds after the play, the student section started the now familiar chant of "KER-RY MEI-ER!" as he ran off the field. The Passer Most Kansas fans know Kerry Meier was recruited to play quarterback at Kansas. He started as a freshman before Todd Reesing became the starter during his sophomore season. Most Kansas fans know the story of the quarterback turned-receiver who caught 97 passes last season. But few people realize just how much he does for this Kansas team. He threw for 13 touchdowns that year, which set a KU record for freshmen. Coach Mark Mangino tried him out at receiver during his sophomore season, but Mangino did not forget about his arm. Mangino still occasionally calls on Meier's arm to come up with a big play to surprise opponents. Just two weeks ago, Meier delivered a 56-yard strike to Dezmon Briscoe on a trick play against UTEP that got the Kansas offense offen. He's still got it. The Receiver It was a big change and probably a bigger disappointment for Kerry Meier to be the backup quarterback. But more than anything, Meier wanted to get on the field and help the team. Mangino gave him a shot at receiver and Meier hasn't looked back. In a way, it all worked out for Kerry Meier during his sophomore season. When Kansas was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, it was Meier who was shown catching a touchdown pass. Meier had never played receiver before that year, but he got pretty good in a hurry. Last year, he was as reliable as any receiver in the nation and is now on the radar of many NFL scouts. The Blocker When not catching or throwing passes, Meier does a lot to open up lanes for other players. He understands the importance of good blocking on the outside and has become very good at clearing space for Dezmon Briscoe and others to pick up extra yardage. The Holder Maybe the most underestimated role Meier plays for the team is being the holder for kicker Jacob Branstetter. Mangino made a great move by having Meier hold for field goals and extra points. It takes a great pair of hands to be an effective holder, and there is no better choice than Meier. The Tackler Kerry Meier showed last Saturday that he can play some defense too. It wasn't the hardest hit ever made at Memorial Stadium, but it didn't have to be. Meier chased the Duke returner down the sideline and shoved him out of bounds. The play displayed his speed and athleticism, but most importantly, the hustle he shows on every play for the Jayhawks. Reseing might still be this team's best player, and Briscoe might still be the most talented, but it will be even tougher to replace Kerry Meier when he graduates this year. He's still the Jayhawks' MVP — Most Versatile Player — and that can never be taken for granted. Weston White/KANSAN Senior receiver Kerry Meier looks for a running lane last Saturday against Duke. Meier had 64 yards against the Blue Devils. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 4 4 FEATURE MORE THAN JUST ACHEER Kansas cheerleaders flip,tumble and practice twice per week to be a part of the KU Spirit Squad By Brenna Hawley bhawley@kansan.com They flip. They fly. They twist. They tumble. And they cheer. Meet the Kansas cheerleaders, 30 students who work overtime to entertain fans during football games. Some have been cheering and tumbling since they were young, while others played other sports in school before coming to the senior, joined her high school's cheerleading squad during her sophomore year as a joke, but by the following year, she knew she wanted to cheer in college. There's even a joke about her in her family — she is 4-foot-10 and has brothers who were very athletic in high school, but she's the one who got an athletic scholarship to a university. She's been on the KU squad now since her freshman year, and this month she was featured as Sportsll- biggest sports schools in the country. What it takes Corey Stone, cheerleading coach, says there's a lot that makes the University appealing to potential cheerleaders. For one thing, he says, they cheer at very few losing games between football and basketball. Then there are the tryouts. The squad's Web site, kuchee.com, lists numerous skills needed to make it through most of them have been tumbling for 10 years." A former KU cheerleader himself, Stone cheered when the squad won the National Cheerleaders Association's national contest in 1995. He was in a five-year program and watched the cheerleaders tumbling at games. He'd taken gymnastics classes in high school and was inspired. "I saw guys tumbling and thought,'I "The guys, they have a lot of different backgrounds. The girls, most of them have been tumbling for 10 years." Corey Stone, cheerleading coach University and realizing they wanted to be a part of KU Cheer. But all have one thing in common — they want to make fans excited during games. Take Scott Borgmeir, for example. In high school, Borgmeir, Overland Park senior, could do a back flip, but his true sport was diving. He joined his high school cheerleading squad anyway and decided to continue in college. Then there's Lizzie Bellinger, Bellinger, Plano, Texas. Types of cheers lustrated.com's cheerleader of the week. The team has three basic types of cheers: stunting, pyramids and basket tosses. Left and center photos by Weston White/KANSAN Right photo by David McKinney/KU University Relations These two, as well as the other 28 KU cheerleaders, put in hours of practice every week to give a great performance at every football game. They lead the crowd in cheers and perform stunts during lulls in the game to make fans' times more enjoyable. And they carry on a tradition of a great game day atmosphere at one of the THIS WEEK STUNTING One guy holding up one girl to the final stage of tryouts: Standing back handsprings, roundoff back hand-spring tucks, toss chairs, and many other skills that seem like a foreign language to the untrained eye. But the applicants have a variety of training. "The guys, they have a lot of different backgrounds," Stone says, "The girls. 10 PYRAMID Cheerleaders 21/2 people high could do that," he says. Stone cheered at the University for four years and continued on to assistant coach the cheerleading squad at the University of Iowa along with his wife Nami, where they both got their masters degrees. Now they're both coaching the squad here. They hold tryouts in May for the next year's squad BASKET TOSS Multiple guys throwing one girl THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 5 MINES KANKS during one stunt-filled weekend. Last year, 35 girls and 22 guys tried out, traveling from as far away as Texas, Colorado and Chicago. Only 30 made the cut. When the list of new squad members is posted, the work begins. Practice makes perfect After the cheerleaders make the team — 14 girls and 16 guys — they are committed to attending practice twice per week and workouts at 6:30 a.m. twice per week. Those sessions prove valuable for improvement in both athleticism and cheerleading skills. Borgmeir used his time in the morning workouts throughout college to work with a nutritionist to put on 45 pounds of muscle. The team practices cheerleading skills at G-Force Athletics, 725 N. Second St., on a springboard floor covered with mats. It's a good thing, too, because stunts, pyramids, tumbling and basket tosses can take lots of practice. "When you don't have it exactly perfected it can be scary." Bellinger says. "I've actually kicked a guy in the chest and he somehow caught me."

The cheerleading squad has two practices per week in addition to two other workout sessions and open gyms. Continued from page 5 Stone says the cheerleaders learn their stunts in a progression, starting first with an easier stunt and slowly adding difficulty as the earlier ones are perfected. "You don't try a flip and twist before you have a straight twist," he says. But that doesn't mean there aren't injuries in that progression. Stone says the team endures about two concussions per year and a number of minor injuries in between. Borgmeir can attest to that. He's broken his nose, dislocated his thumb twice, hurt his neck and he's no stranger to having shoe prints all over his body from stunts that weren't yet perfected. "You get tore up,"he says. But that doesn't mean he gives up "If your partner gets hurt, you don't have a partner," he says. "I get frustrated when I drop a stunt." On the field When game time comes, the cheerleaders know it's time to get the crowd excited, something that can be challenging because the cheerleaders are so much farther away from the crowd than where they are during basketball games. "I get the opportunity that a lot people don't get in college," Bellinger says, "it's kind of being the face of KU." Football games allow for more elaborate stunts after a change in rules that make some stunts illegal on hard ground, like a basketball court. That opens the door for bigger stunts, such as basket toses, when girls are thrown high into the air by multiple guys. So how exactly do the guys balance girls on their hands for cheers? "The girl is supposed to be tight up there like a piece of wood" Stone says. "The girls have to figure out how to turn off their balancing instinct, which is sometimes hard for gymnasts to do because they are so good at balancing themselves." Borgmeir says guys learn pretty quick how to get the girls up on their hands, but it takes a lot of balancing and a slight move of a hand can make the girl fall, something Bellinger has experienced before. In her time on the squad, she's had a concussion and once thought she'd broken a hip, although it turned out to be a bad bruise. But she says girls just learn from it and get over any problems they might have with their partners. t Follow Kansan editor Brenna Hawley at twitter.com/bhawley. "If you don't trust someone, you'd better get over it." Bellinger. Borgmeir says the squad, which is split in half on opposite corners of the stadiums for the games, has multiple responsibilities during the game. They fill empty time, they help step up the atmosphere and they bring excitement in between plays. "It's our job to get the crowd involved," he says. And there's always room for improvement. Borgmeir says cheerleaders never hit a plateau of skills or get bored. "You can always learn something new every time you do it," he says. "There are always new skills to try and can always be getting better at it." When the game is over Both Bellinger and Borgmeir graduate this year, but they've taken a lot away from their experience as cheerleaders, both on and off the field. Borgmeir's made his time cheering permanent with a tattoo on his foot of a Jayhawk with a megaphone, the cone the guys use to make their yells heard better. He's one of eight guys who are either currently on the squad or have been in the past to have the tattoo. It's a reminder of the people he's met on the squad and the experiences he's had, and graduating won't erase those. "I don't think I could just get rid of it," he says. Bellinger says she's learned time management skills and made lots of good friends during her time on the cheer squad, but that time is almost up. "It's kind of bittersweet," she says. "I'll probably come back." Stone says cheerleaders get a lot of great memories and friendships from their time on the squad, and he's even seen members get married. "It's a lot of fun," he says. "It's part of college atmosphere — marching band, cheerleaders." But in the end, there's one main purpose to the squad — getting the crowd excited for the KU game at hand. "Ultimately, we just hope that they'll yell with us," he says.

Briscoe had six catches for 117 yards. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Kansas 44 Kansas Duke 44 16 Jayhawks finish strong against Duke Kansas improves to 3-0 with victory against Blue Devils After starting the game with a slow first quarter, the Jayhawks got things rolling against the Duke Blue Devils last Saturday. A solid second quarter gave Kansas a 20-7 lead heading into halftime, and the team never looked back. The Jayhawks won 44-16 and improved to 3-0 for the season. Senior running back Jake Sharp played sparingly because of an injury suffered during practice, but freshman Toben Opurum picked up the slack for the Jayhawks. Opurum rushed for 72 yards on 17 carries and scored two touchdowns. The Jayhawks' defense improved after surrendering a touchdown to Duke on its opening drive. The Blue Devils went 87 yards on just two plays to go ahead 7-0. The defense later intercepted two Duke passes and senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule returned one of them for a score. The Kansas offense picked up 490 yards for the game. Todd Reeing passed for three touchdowns and 338 yards. Dezmon Briscoe gained 117 yards on six catches and Kerry Meier caught eight passes for 64 yards. The victory came in the first meeting between Kansas and Duke in football. Scott Toland 35 Weston White/KANSAN Freshman running back Toben Opurum shoves cornerback Leon Wright to the ground before breaking outside for extra yards. Opurum rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns Saturday to help Kansas in its 44-16 win. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 12 12 AROUND THE NATION Games to watch Keep an eye on these matchups Cal CALIFORNIA VS. OREGON O The Golden Bears head to Oregon to meet the Ducks, who just upset Utah. Jahvid Best looked unstoppable against Minnesota, but Oregon is loaded with athleticism. The Ducks will keep this game close, but California's running game should take over down the stretch. FLORIDA VS. KENTUCKY H Could Tim Tebow and the Gators suffer a letdown after last week's rivalry game against Tennessee? Don't count on it. Florida didn't play that well against the Volunteers, and Urban Meyer will have his players ready to go against the Wildcats. TCU WILDCATS (FOOTBALL) TCU VS. CLEMSON ASSOCIATED PRESS P The Horned Frogs haven't been getting as much attention as Boise State and BU.YU. TCU is undefeated and is still looking for respect. The Horned Frogs have the chance to pick up another quality win against Clemson before heading into Mountain West Conference play. STATE LSU VS. MISSISSIPPI STATE 5 LSU hasn't been the dominant force it could be this season. Mississippi State is near the bottom of the SEC, but any game in that conference is a test. The Tigers could be looking ahead to a road trip to Georgia, but Les Miles will have them focused on winning this game first. Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor looks to pass during the first half against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. Last Saturday, Virginia Tech meets ACC Miami this week at home. U MIAMI VS.VIRGINIA TECH ACC showdown features resurgent Hurricanes The Hurricanes are probably the biggest surprise in this week's Associated Press poll. Now ranked inside the top 10, Miami has to travel to play Virginia Tech in this week's marquee matchup. After sneaking by Florida State and crushing Georgia Tech last week, the Hurricanes are earning respect in a hurry. But Tyrod Taylor and the Hokies are coming off a big win last week as well. Virginia Tech rallied to beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the final minute and is looking to carry that momentum over to this contest. These teams are very close, but the advantage goes to the home team. APTOP25 Team (First-place votes) Record Total Votes Prev. Rank 1. Florida (55) 3-0 1488 1 2. Texas (2) 3-0 1428 2 3.

Recently, it's us clear as black and white, isn't it? Society has pumped many standards of behavior into us from a very early age. We learned how to stand in lines, say "please" and "thank you," open doors for girls, and just generally be courteous to others. "The Golden Rule" was the name of the concept we all learned many of our values from and it said to "treat others as you want to be treated." So why the heck do those who dawn the black and white stripes at every athletic event seem to be exempt from this rule? Refereeing can be a pretty brutal profession. It can consist of quite a bit of verbal and, in some cases, physical, harassment. "Any time you put on the stripes, you basically put a target on your back," says Matt Beck, intramural coordinator. "You become the bad guy." Referees work many years at their job and slowly work their way up the better they get at calling the game. Most referees who officiate at high school sports or at higher levels have started their careers at a lower level. Intramural referees are at this lower level and are trying to learn, but some find it hard to stick with refereeing when they get hassled about every call they make. They treat the participants fairly, so they, in turn, expect Aaron Flickinger, McPherson junior indicates what down it is during a flag football game Tuesday. Flickinger says he loves sports and being around them whenever he can.

Jardine says he started refereeing because he likes football and he needed a job. Right: Aaron Flickinger, McPherson junior, blows his whistle to start play during a flag football game Tuesday. Flickinger has been an intramural referee for three years. C to be treated with the same respect, Beck says. "Relax, it's just a game," he says. "You're playing for a T-shirt. They are students just like everyone else on campus. They're bustin' their butts for you, but if you think you can do better then come on out. We'd love to have you." The intramural referees go through a three-day training period when they are drilled on the rules and regulations of the sport, as well as the mechanics and Beck says refereeing is something that is best taught through experience. The more experience someone has refereeing or just being around the sport in general, the better they will get, which will then lead to feeling more comfortable calling a game. Refereeing instructors can drill the new referees on the rules and regulations until they know them like the back of their hand, but until they actually go out there and experience it for themselves, they won't be able to Despite all the training that referees get, they are going to make mistakes. It just is a part of the game, but what the referee instructors and supervisors try to stress to these refs is to make each call with confidence and to stand by their decision. Because these are usually beginner refs, to be fair to the participants, they do have a chance to petition any "non-judgment" call. This means that any call that isn't solely up to the judgment of the referee can be "The guys who've played before,it starts clicking for them pretty quick and the more it (the game) slows down." — Steven Dickherber, St. Louis sophomore positioning of refereeing. Then they play some simulation games to get a feel for calling a game in action. "The guys who've played before, it starts clicking for them pretty quick and the more it (the game) slows down," says Steven Dickherker, St. Louis sophomore and second year intramural referee. "Then the guys who have never played before or don't really know the game, it may never click for them." understand the whole refereeing process. Intramurals also uses experienced referees to help introduce new ones to the game and the experience.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25,2009 14 FEATURE --- 16 16 GAME DAY AT A GLANCE Kansas has rolled through its first three nonconference games without much resistance, but that should change this week. At the very least, Southern Miss possesses a handful of big-play athletes that should challenge Kansas. It will be a nice final tuneup before Big 12 play starts. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior running back Jake Sharp Sharp carried the ball just five times against Duke, and he looked to be a step or two slower than normal. After the game, Mangino said that Sharp suffered an undisclosed injury. JAMES MCDONALD Sharp during a noncontact drill in practice during the week. If he plays on Saturday, watch to see if Sharp possesses his normal explosive speed. QUESTION MARKS How will Kansas' defensive line fare against Damion Fletcher? Fletcher, Southern Miss' talented senior running back, has rushed for more than 4,500 yards in his career. He's one of the most productive players in the country and he'll be the best running back Kansas defense has faced so far. Will the defensive line keep him from having a big day? Will fans still be in Memorial Stadium in the fourth quarter? This question is more directed at the game's final outcome. Kansas hasn't played a close game this season, sending fans fleeing for the exits by the time the fourth quarter rolls around. Southern Miss, though, is talented and easily the best team on Kansas' non-conference schedule. BY THE NUMBERS 11 Number of sacks Kansas has this season which ranks them second nationally 26 Number of sacks Kansas had last season which ranked them 43rd nationally 19 Number of consecutive non-conference home games Kansas has won 22 Percent of successful third down conversions Duke had against Kansas last week 53. 3 Percent of successful third down conversions Kansas has made this season C Kansas (3-0) OFFENSE Kansas leads the nation in total offense, averaging 357. 7 yard per game. Still, the Jayhawks haven't played a complete game this season, at least not according to players. Senior running back Jake Sharp carried the ball just five times against Duke last week because of an injury sustained in practice, and coach Mark Mangino says that Sharp is questionable to play against Southern Mississippi. TOM HOFFMAN Sharp That would definitely hamper Kansas' attack. DEFENSE Except for two scoring drives in which Duke moved the ball relatively easy, Kansas defense turned in another excellent performance last Saturday. The unit never allowed Duke's two quarterbacks to become comfortable throwing the ball, leading to errant passes. Senior Maxwell Onyegebule returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown while freshman linebacker Huldon Tharm made 1 PETER TYNN linebacker Huldon Tharp made 10 tackles. SPECIAL TEAMS Sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson ranks 11th in the nation with 9.5 yards per punt return. Mangino says Patterson still has a little fine-tuning to do, but he has provided Kansas with solid field position and a big-play threat in the return game. C. R. JOHNSON Patterson COACHING After Kansas' game against Duke players say that opposing defenses are continually unveiling new formations and schemes on game days. While the Jayhawks have struggled early against the different looks, they've eventually settled into a PETER BROWN Warriner groove and moved the ball. That's a credit to Mangino and offensive coordinator Ed Warriner for being flexible. Kansas Athletics announced on Monday that the game against Southern Miss was already a sellout. That right there is an indicator that Kansas is rolling in momentum. The Jayhawks haven't played in a close game yet and both sides of the ball are playing well right now.

Prediction Kansas 38,Southern THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN (0) GAME DAY 17 E KANSAS 81 9 OFFENSE Southern Miss'offense is driven by the running game. Senior tailback Damion Fletcher gets the bulk of the carries and is a very consistent runner, picking up 115 yards in a 37-34 victory against Virginia last weekend. Sophomore 10. Fletcher receiver DeAndre Brown is the main vertical threat, but he is still recovering from an injury. Southern Miss will also likely use its Eagle formation, snapping the ball to one of two running backs. DEFENSE The Golden Eagle defense has held against the run, but Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell racked up 312 yards against the secondary. When it mattered most, though, the defense got six stops on the Williams last six possessions of the game. Sophomore linebacker Korey Williams leads the team in tackles with 22, tackles for a loss with 4.0 and sacks with 3.0. Coach Larry Fedora went into the game against Virginia SPECIAL TEAMS knowing Southern Miss needed to make a "game-changing play" on special teams. With his team trailing by 17 in the middle of the third quarter, senior receiver Freddie Parham returned a kickoff for 100 yards to keep Southern Miss within striking distance. Junior kicker Justin Estes is reliable but doesn't have extensive kicking range. PETER WALKER Parham When Larry Fedora took the job at Southern Miss before COACHING last year, he vowed to "attack" in all aspects of the game. Fedora also has ties to the Big 12 — he spent three years as offensive coordinator for Oklahoma State's high-powered offense. With experience facing big-time programs in massive stadiums, you can bet Southern Miss will be mentally ready to square off with Kansas. --- Fedora Southern Miss definitely had to work to take down Virginia, but this team is streaking. In fact, with eight consecutive wins, it holds the second-longest winning streak in the nation, tied with in-state rival Mississippi. A matchup with a hot Houston team looms in about a month, but the Golden Eagles might be looking at a 10-win season if they can knock off Kansas on the road. MOMENTUM - Clark Goble will cheer if... secondary continues playing well this season.

But this team is very,very dangerous. If it can establish the running game and grab an early lead, it could be difficult for Kansas to come back. PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore receiver DeAndre Brown He likely won't start, but the Freshman All-American from 2008 was named to Phil Steele's third team Preseason All-American team. His recovery from a broken leg has slowed his Brown VENEZIA but he is still a playmaker. At 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, Brown is a straight-up monster. QUESTION MARKS How much will Southern Miss use its hybrid Eagle formation? With the ball being snapped to the running back, this formation can cause a lot of problems for opposing defenses. After using the formation just once in its first two games, Fadora called plays out of it nine times against Virginia. Is Southern Miss ready to take the next step in becoming a nationally recognized power? Despite 15 consecutive winning seasons, the Golden Eagles haven't won more than 10 games since 1988. A victory against a ranked BCS program on the road would do wonders for Southern Miss' national reputation and prospects for a better bowl game.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 19 Words from the Big 12 Writers from around the conference weigh in on their teams ATED PRESS NSAN KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Wildcats hope to rebound on Saturday ASSOCIATED PRESS What's at Stake Kansas State is off to a slow start under head coach Bill Snyder in 2009. The defense has improved from last season, but the offense must establish itself as Big 12 conference play draws near. Tennessee Tech has had mixed results in its first two games of the season, winning handily against Pikeville College and narrowly losing at No. 22 Eastern Kentucky. An early-season win against an FBS opponent would be huge for head coach Watson Brown and the Golden Eagles. Key Matchup Tennessee Tech running backs vs. Kansas State's defensive line.The Golden Eagles are averaging 168 yards on the ground and also boast 5.8 yards per carry. Senior defensive tackle Jeffrey Fitzgerald leads a Kansas State line that is giving up just 128.3 yards rushing and 4.3 yards per attempt. The unit has also recorded nine tackles behind the line of scrimmage and recovered three fumbles. Players to Watch Tennessee Tech: Wide receiver Tim Benford. Although Benford hasn't crossed the goal line this season, he has been one of the Golden Eagles' strongest offensive weapons. Through two games, he has hauled in seven receptions for 116 yards, both team highs. He leads the team in rushing with 294 yards and ranks fourth in receiving with 92. Kansas State: running back Daniel Thomas. Thomas, a junior college transfer, continues to play several roles on Kansas State's struggling offense. Last week against UCLA, he totaled 115 all-purpose yardage and a rushing touchdown. 54 14 BOSMIRI 59 Kansas State quarterback Carson Coffman (14) is tackled by UCLA's Kyle Bosworth (54) during the first half their game last Saturday in Los Angeles. UCLA won 23-9. ASSOCIATED PRESS K-State offense, special teams struggling By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian MANHATTAN — Conundrums as Carson Coffman and the K-State offense try to figure out the secret of moving the ball in opponent territory. - Take a look at the numbers from K-State's loss at UCLA last weekend: 10 offensive drives, seven drives into Bruin territory, two scores, nine total points. Does not compute. - If the Wildcats can't manage a respectable point total (28+) on Saturday against Tennessee Tech, then the offense can probably expect to have as much success in conference play as the defense did last season. - Speaking of defense, it's amazing what Vic Koenning and Chris Cosh have been able to do with one of 2008's worst units in college football. It can't be seen much on the highlight reels, but the improvement is nothing short of fantastic. - If the team doesn't play a solid game this weekend, it won't be because it lacked fan support. The game is just a few thousand tickets short of a sellout, and there's still three days until kickoff. - To say the least, John Currie has done an outstanding job in the little time he's had. If you ever get a chance to meet and thank him for what he's done for K-State, I highly recommend it. - Also on a lighter note, Josh Cherry won't be shut out in 2009. He connected on a 26-yard field goal in the first quarter at the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, that relief was only temporary as he later missed a 40-yarder and an extra point snap was bobbled. - Maybe Wildcat fans have just been spoiled with stellar kick/return units for the better part of the last two decades, but I still hate having to cross my fingers during every PAT attempt. - Does anyone else miss the days when crossing the 50-yard line meant the team was in Martin Gramatica's range? THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 20 BIG 12 MISSOURI TIGERS Senior receivers play big in Missouri's victory 11 ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri quarterback Blaime Gabbert runs across the goal line to score a touchdown against Furman in the second quarter last Saturday in Columbia, Mo. The Tigers won 52-12. By Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jared Perry came to Missouri weighing under 150 pounds — a good-sized team manager, but hardly sturdy enough for the rigors of Big 12 football. Fellow wide receiver Danario Alexander, at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, had the physical tools but spent two of his first three seasons hindered by serious injuries. On Saturday, the seniors combined for 10 catches, four of which went for touchdowns in Missouri's 52-12 defeat of Furman. They also hooked up on the game's signature play, a 40-yard pass from Alexander to Perry that began with a crossfield lateral to Alexander from quarterback Blaine Gabbert. "I've been waiting for this opportunity," said Perry, who had 37 catches as a freshman, but faltered a year later with the arrival of star receiver Jeremy Maclin and the emergence of tight end Chase Coffman. Both now play in the NFL. Alexander also took a step back after some early success, missing three games with a wrist injury in 2007 before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in that season's Big 12 title game against Oklahoma. The severe knee injury — he had two more surgeries after the initial operation — continued to hamper his effectiveness in 2008. "They've had their injuries and they've had their tough times," said Missouri coach Gary Pinkel. "Both of them had their ups and downs." Gabbert, a sophomore, added a 40-yard scoring run to his three TD passes, tying a career high set two weeks earlier against Illinois. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 256 yards with no interceptions. Perry, now listed at 180 pounds, added a 48-yard TD catch and set career highs with seven catches for 161 yards. Alexander also caught two touchdown passes in the first half. Missouri (3-0) led 42-0 at halftime before Furman (2-1), a member of the Football Championship Subdivision, scored on a 21-yard pass from Jordan Sorrells to Tyler Maples midway through the third quarter. Sorrells completed 24 of 39 passes for 250 yards with one touchdown and an interception for the Southern Conference team. Missouri travels to Nevada on Friday for its final non-conference game before returning home on Oct. 8 to face No.19 Nebraska in the conference opener for both teams.

When Nebraska's offense faltered, its defense made up for it, holding the Hokies to 190 total yards. SAN By Max Olson Daily Nebraskan BLACKSBURG, Va. — After the first 58 minutes of Nebraska's showdown with No. 13 Virginia Tech on Saturday, the Nebraska football team was on pace to be one significant step closer to that elusive status of "back." This was going to be the big upset, the impressive win in front of a national audience, the game that vaulted the Cornhuskers up the national rankings. Sure, Nebraska has played in plenty of these breakthrough games over the past seven years, but this one was different. This one was supposed to be a done deal when a Virginia Tech turnover on downs gave Nebraska the ball with 2:07 left in the game. Instead, well, you know the rest. The problem with being "back," of course, is that the standard is not defined by one or two plays. Neither was this game. It's easy to argue that Nebraska wins the game if Danny Coale doesn't catch that 81-yard bomb. It's also easy to point out that sacking Tyrod Taylor on third and goal when Virginia Tech had no time-outs would have given Nebraska a strong chance of escaping with a win. The thing is, the outcome of the game never should have come down to those two plays. You can't go without scoring an offensive touchdown and expect to win a game. The last time Nebraska was able to do that was in 1937 — a 3-0 win over Kansas State. An effort like that might have flown 70 years ago against a team with a 4-4 record, but it won't today, and it certainly won't against the No.13 team in the nation. You also can't have four three-and-outs in a second half and assume things will work out fine. Failed execution on offense — not Taylor or Coale — killed Nebraska. There was the first-and-goal from the 3-yard line in the second quarter, in which Nebraska settled for three points following a 1-yard rush by Zac Lee and two incompletiions. The Hokies played dead for nearly all of the third and fourth quarters, and Nebraska never took advantage by putting the nail in Tech's coffin. Then there was the first-and-goal from Tech's 6-yard line in the third quarter that went from a Mike McNeill touchdown to fourth-and-goal from the 37-yard line due to two holding and two false start penalties And of course, there's the fourth-and-1 with 1:51 left in the game. Standard logic says play the field position, but if you trust Roy Helu Jr., your offensive line and your defense in that situation, Nebraska could have slipped past the Hokies. Bo Pelini has said all along that good execution wins games. In the end, incompletions, penalties and blown coverage did Nebraska in against Virginia Tech. "We didn't do what was necessary to win the football game," Pelini said. "We had a lot of opportunities, and we didn't capitalize on them. It's a shame." There are silver linings to this dark cloud though. Nebraska's defense had one of its best games in a long time. Until that final Tech drive, they played like Blackshirts, limiting the Hokies' dangerous offense to 190 total yards. "We obviously didn't play well enough to win, but we can take some good things away. But there's a lot of things we can improve," Ndamukong Suh said. "We have to move forward." The climb back to the top of the heap isn't an easy one, and Nebraska has seen more than its fair share of gut-wrenching losses in big games — games against Texas in 2006 and 2007 and last year's Texas Tech match quickly come to mind – but that's just part of the process. In order for Nebraska to be a legitimate contender for Big 12 North title and top-tier bowl games, the Huskers must first learn how to win the big ones. It's how you deal with losing the big game, though, that will decide the fate of this year's team. Last year, Nebraska responded to its embarrassing 52-17 loss to Missouri with a near-upset of then-No. 7 Texas Tech. When Oklahoma dominated the Huskers 62-28 "It wouldn't be any bigger than the first two as far as I'm concerned," he said. "It's the next step. That's how I approach it. That's how this football team approaches it." later in the season, Nebraska returned home and defeated Kansas to start the six-game winning streak that ended Saturday. There's no time to agonize over the loss This game wasn't the USC game of 2007, a defeat that derailed the team and led to a 3-6 finish to the season, and Pelini knew that going in. When asked earlier in the week what a win over Tech would mean to him and to the program, Pelini refused to give the game more weight than it merited. For Nebraska, the next step now is up to Pelini and his players. Dwelling on the game won't bring Nebraska a Big 12 North title, and it certainly won't bring Nebraska "back" --- 22 BIG 12 IOWA STATE CYCLONES Iowa State, Army closely matched By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — With three games down and just 60 days of scheduled football left to play, the Iowa State football team and coach Paul Rhoads are starting another week of preparation for their 6 p.m. Saturday game against the visiting Army Black Knights. Sitting at 2-1 following a 34-14 win that was underwhelming in the second half against a depleted Kent State, the Cyclones were pleased to come back to Ames, Iowa, with the victory, but the coaching staff is already preparing for the Black Knights and their unique schemes on both sides of the ball. "They will be as disciplined as any football team we'll play all year, they will be as physical as we'll play all year." Rhoads said. "There will be no quit to them. If this thing goes five overtimes, they will be just as fast in the fifth overtime as they were in the first series of the game." The Cyclones and Army have been similar on exterior statistics this season, with Army scoring 23.3 points per game and allowing 22, opposing Iowa State's 23.7 per game for and 22 against. A deeper look shows Army gaining nearly 81 percent of its yardage on the ground, completing only 15 passes through three games. By comparison, the Cyclones are averaging more than 15 completions per game. During his weekly press conference on Monday, Rhoads commented on the play of Jake Williams. Williams has seemingly come out of nowhere to be an impact player for a group of receivers searching for a rallying point. Williams was a former walk on from West Des Moines Valley High School, and caught the first touchdown pass of his career against Kent State. His seven catches for 85 yards is good for third on the stat sheet thus far, and he should get at least another season to prove his mettle at Jack Trice. "He continues to come to work,"Rhoads said. "He embodies what this program should stand for, a blue collar mentality, great work ethic, always bringing great preparation to the field and applying that with execution."

ASSOCIATED PRESS HP COLORADO BUFFALOES Victory gives hope to struggling team 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado running back attempts to escape a tackle from Wyoming linebacker Brian Henricks during their game Saturday. The Buffaloes shut out the Cowboys, 24-0. By Brent Wilson Campus Press BOULDER, Colo. — Your doctor found no trace of alcohol in your bloodstream. You're boring, moneyless and you have the appeal of a school bus on fire to all women you meet and that's only part of what your mother said. I'm guessing you feel pretty down, don't you? You're feeling a little bit sorry for yourself, right? Please. You want to hear real problems? Problems that would make a proctology exam look like a vacation? Try Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Dan Hawkins. He coached one of the worst-looking Buffs teams in recent memory for the first two weeks of the 2009 season. He coached a team that looked tired, timid and beaten. And that was before warm-ups. They never had a single lead during the first two games of the season, games they were favored by large margins but games they lost by those margins instead. So, with the weight of the world bending their spines, they needed a break that would not cripple their season prematurely before Big 12 Conference play. For crying out loud, they made Colorado fans anxious for basketball season. Yes, we have a basketball team. And they did. A 24-0 victory over Wyoming in front of 50,535 sighs of relief Saturday gave the Buffers their first win of the season. The defense was on their game, Dan Hawkins coached with confidence and kicker Aric Goodman even got to sail three points of his own over his ex-team. All around, a team win — yada yada, blah blah — but let's be honest. The Bucks' win should be contributed fully to the seemingly overnight maturity of the offensive line. It was a trench fight between men and ragdolls. "They did unbelievably," said sophomore running back Rodney "Speedy" Stewart, who ran for 127 yards and two touchdowns. "I'm proud of every one of them." Sure, it was against a run-of-the-mill Wyoming defensive line, but this is the same offensive line that was mowed down by Toledo and Colorado State. In those games, the only running game the Buffs had was junior quarterback Cody Hawkins running backwards for his dear life. But if you only saw Saturday's game you'd be convinced I am a liar and a jerk. The Buffs' front five were overwhelming for the Cowboys. They gapped holes you could parallel park in and even gave Cody Hawkins' backside a day off. Their offense was their defense. They kept Wyoming's offense on the sideline by winning the time of possession by more than 10 minutes thanks to the run game. Now that's doing it all. It was a plain, boring game with no tricks or traps. It was the type of game any Colorado fan, player and coach needed. And for the first time in a while, Cody Hawkins didn't try to win the game with his arm and Dan Hawkins didn't try to win it with his mind. If that doesn't give you hope, nothing will.

Stoops said. "He's handled it great. It's awfully young in the year, so we're still learning a lot about him and he's figuring out more on every snap." In his playing time, Jones has completed 49 of 81 passes for 673 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions. Six of those touchdowns came in Saturday's 45-0 victory against Tulsa, which is now an OU single-game record. Jones' first pass against Tulsa was an interception, but he was able to shrug it off and have a career day. NORMAN, Okla. — The hand that was hovering over the panic button just two weeks ago has retreated with the emergence of Oklahoma freshman quarterback Landry Jones. "It's just kind of wild right now," Jones said. "Ever since I was little I've always wanted to play college football, and hopefully someday the [National Football League]. Right now I'm just living the dream." "After the interception you just got to forget about it, and play the next play," Jones said. "Coach [Josh] Heupel is always saying if you make a mistake forget about it and play the next play. Always play the next play." Jones, who was virtually unheard of until halftime of the Brigham Young game, was shoved into the spotlight when Heisman Trophy-winning junior quarterback Sam Bradford went down with a shoulder injury. In the two and a half games since the injury Jones has responded well, and he said he feels he has grown into the position. For the time being Jones will be under center, and until Bradford's number is called Jones said he feels comfortable in the role the team has asked him to assume. A telltale sign that a player has become comfortable with any situation is how he reacts to adversity. "I feel confident, [and] I feel like we can beat anybody in the country if we play," Jones said."I feel myself getting better every snap. I'm getting more confident after every completion."

First, he showed his strength, bull rushing blockers and getting pressure on Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts as the Texas defense disrupted the Red Raiders' vaunted passing attack all night. Then, with one flash of speed, Kindle was in the backfield, finally getting his hands on Potts, dislodging him of his helmet as well as the ball with a vicious hit. The fourth-quarter sack and fumble proved to be the turning point as the Long-horns got their revenge over Texas Tech with a 34-24 victory at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. "In the first half, it was more of a bull rush to see what type of rush I needed," Kindle said after getting his first sack of the season. "When I saw he was looking for a bull rush, I switched to a speed [rush] and it was successful for me. I just ran right by him." Fittingly, it was a defensive play that finally allowed Texas to pull away in a game that never lived up to its hype as an offensive shoot-out. After Sam Acho recovered Potts' fumble at the 14-yard line, Texas scored its third and final offensive touchdown of the night. It wasn't apparent until Colt McCoy found receiver Dan Buckner in the back of the end zone, gaining a 31-17 lead with less than 10 minutes left, that the Longhorns would not relinquish this time around. "Sergio blasted him, and that's his M.O., what that he does," Acho said. "We were all over [Potts Saturday], just trying to turn some of those pressures into sacks." The Texas offense managed only a field goal in the first half but was nonetheless up 10-3 at the break following an outstanding defensive and special teams performance. ASSOCIATED PRESS POTTS The two conspired for the first half's lone touchdown as Justin Tucker's rugby punt was downed inside the Tech 10-yard line. A defensive stand forced the Red Raiders to punt from their own end zone and receiver Jordan Shipley did the rest, returning the kick 46 yards up the right sideline for a touchdown.

Oklahoma State defeated 41-24. Cowboys rebound with 41-24 victory against Rice By Murray Evans Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — Zac Robinson rushed for one touchdown and threw for two others — both to Dez Bryant — as No. 16 Oklahoma State rebounded from its first loss to beat Rice 41-24 Saturday night. While Oklahoma State (2-1) didn't exactly get its offense rolling, the Cowboys did enough to beat Rice (0-3), which has opened the season with three straight road games, two against Big 12 Conference foes. Against a defense that entered the game last among 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams against the pass, Robinson completed 14 of 20 passes for 227 yards while Bryant had nine catches for 161 yards, including touchdown grabs of 23 and 10 yards. SAN Their play helped Oklahoma State overcome the absence of star running back Kendall Hunter, who missed the game with a sprained right ankle. Rice was within 35-24 after a touchdown That the Cowboys needed those points and defensive stops to feel comfortable at the end of the game was a credit to the perseverance of Rice, which trailed 28-3 after Robinson's 1-yard touchdown run with 11:14 left in the third quarter. with 12:24 left, but Dan Bailey hit field goals of 28 and 42 yards in the final 9:02 for the Cowboys, who lost 45-35 last Saturday to Houston, Rice's Conference USA rival. But Rice responded with touchdown runs of 2 yards and 1 yard by Charles Ross, the latter after Travis Bradshaw recovered a fumble by Oklahoma State kickoff returner Perrish Cox, to pull within 28-17. Andre Sexton set up that score with a 35-yard interception return to the Rice 14. Each time Rice threatened, Oklahoma State answered with points. Beau Johnson — who joined Keith Toston in subbing for Hunter — followed a 38-yard Robinson-to-Bryant pass with a 2-yard scoring run with 1:56 left in the third quarter. Toston carried 18 yards for 75 yards while Johnson had 12 carries for 28 yards.

Baylor's inability to stop running back Donald Brown hindered the Bears from upsetting the University of Connecticut in Hartford, Conn. Brown's overwhelming game in which he rushed for 150 yards against Baylor proved to be a microcosm of his season, as the eventual Big East Offensive Player of the Year ended his junior campaign leading the NCAA with 1,822 rushing yards. With Brown moving on to the Indianapolis Colts and the Huskies relegated to their second-string quarterback, Baylor's prospects seemed favorable for Saturday's contest. Instead, running backs Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman tormented Baylor's defense in a humbling 30-22 loss at Floyd Casey Stadium. The tandem effectively filled Brown's gargantuan void and, with the help of a veteran offensive line, exploited Baylor's defense. The two combined for 53 carries and 252 yards, while Dixon made his way to the end zone three times. "(Dixon) was doing a good job of hiding behind those guys and just squeezing forward," senior free safety Jordan Lake said. "When they have a big line like they had, you lose sight of (the running backs), and they just matriculated downfield," said Lake. As evidenced by Baylor players lingering off the field late in the game, the Huskies' relentless running game exhausted the Bears' defense. In all, UConn had 81 offensive plays compared to Baylor's 48,and the Huskies had the ball for nearly twice as long as Baylor did. "It was a concern, because we weren't controlling the ball on offense and we were letting their defense rest," head coach Art Briles said. "We wanted to tempo it up and get their defense tired and then try to wear them down. If you're not making first downs that's not happening."

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 25,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 27 se I CIATED PRESS wn during TEXAS A&M AGGIES ANSAN Freshman receiver scores four TDs for Texas A&M By Chris Duncan Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas — True to his nickname, Uzoma Nwachukwu made it look easy against Utah State on Saturday. The freshman receiver, called "Easy" by his coaches and teammates, caught three touchdown passes from Jerrod Johnson and also ran for a score, helping Texas A&M overcome injuries to two of its top playmakers in a 38-30 win. "He's really impressed us all and he's really athletic, he goes up and gets the ball," said Johnson, who completed 21 of 41 passes for 322 yards. "The ball sort of bounced his way today." Nwachukwu will have to become a primary target for Texas A&M (2-0) because sophomore receiver Jeff Fuller is out indefinitely with a cracked fibula in his right leg. Fuller suffered the injury in the first half after catching a 15-yard pass from Johnson in the open field. But sophomore safety Trent Hunter says Nwachukwu is Texas A&M's best receiver when it comes to catching high passes at their highest points. Nwachukwu made two leaping TD catches in the first half to help A&M build a 24-14 lead at halftime. "Leaping is one of my favorite things to do," Nwachukwu said. "I use my vertical a lot and Jerrod puts the ball up where the defender can't get it, and only I can get it. I appreciate him doing that." Nwachukwu's teammate, freshman running back Christine Michael also left the game with a strained left calf, but A&M coach Mike Sherman said that injury wasn't serious. Diondre Borel threw for 334 yards with a touchdown and also ran for two scores for Utah State (0-2), which has lost eight straight road games and its last 10 games against Big 12 opponents.

The Longhorns won the game, 34-24. By Jim Vertuno Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Texas fans will call it revenge. The Longhorns were more likely to describe it as relief. Colt McCoy threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Dan Buckner in the fourth quarter that gave the Longhorns some room and No.2 Texas beat feisty Texas Tech and their prolific new passer 34-24 Saturday night. McCoy finished with 205 yards and two interceptions on 24 of 34 passing for the Longhorns (3-0, 1-0 Big 12). After the game, the senior revealed he missed practice on Tuesday because of flu-like symptoms that he was dealing with most of the week. The pass to Buckner with nine minutes left put Texas ahead 31-17,but it was an otherwise shaky outing for last season's runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. "We had to keep fighting as a team. Not everything is going to go our way," said McCoy, who completed 15 of 18 in the second half, but also threw an interception in the red zone. After Texas Tech (2-1, 0-1) spoiled the Longhorns' national title hopes with a 39-33 win in Lubbock last season — on a touchdown with 1 second to play — a record crowd of 101,297 was looking to whoop it up for a 4-hour blowout behind McCoy & Co. What they got was a hard-hitting first half in which neither team scored an offensive touchdown. When the fireworks finally cranked up in the second half, they watched as Red Raiders quarterback Taylor Potts would not let the Longhorns pull away. "Survival," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I'm proud of the way our guys grew up, the way they worked, and fought and hit." Pott's, the latest gunlinging quarterback to guide Texas Tech's passing wizardry, finished with 420 yards and three touchdowns. But he also had two fourth quarter turnovers, including a fumble on a sack by Sergio Kindle to set up McCoy's TD pass. "I just speed rushed him," Kindle said. "I timed up the snap well and the quarterback was there for the taking." Even after the big hit, Potts' led a touchdown drive to keep the Red Raiders in the game. "He's really tough, and he didn't let the hit affect him," Texas Tech coach Mike Leach said. "Not many QBs can get hit really hard and come in the next series and not flinch." "It was one of the harder hitting games I've been around," Brown said. After picking apart the Texas defense, Potts gave up two turnovers in the fourth that swung the game.

The information in this story is the most updated available at press time Wednesday evening. After the events from the past day, Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins gathered football and basketball players in the Anderson Football Complex. Basketball representatives Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich and football representatives Kerry Meier, Todd Reesing, Jake Sharp and Darrell Stuckey collectively released this statement; "We realize that over the past couple of days we've let a disagreement between a few guys grow bigger than it ever should have. We're embarrassed about that." "Now we want everyone to know that we have met and talked it out. We realize we're all Jayhawks. We're proud of what both teams have accomplished. "We appreciate the support these teams give each other. We'll be in the stands rooting for each other like we always have. "We all wear KANSAS on our uniforms, and we're proud of that. We need to act like it. We've met; we're all on the same page, and we will move forward together. The football team is ready to get back to work, focused on Saturday's game against Southern Mississippi, and the basketball team will continue to prepare for another great season." The fight broke out among football and basketball players this morning after one of the Morris twins pushed a football player down stairs behind Budig Hall. According to one KU senior who witnessed the initial outbreak of the brawl, players from both teams began throwing punches and shouting racial slurs at each other at 9:48 a.m. Among them were the Morris twins, Mario Little, Sherron Collins, Tyshawn Taylor. Brady Morningstar, Travis Releford, Tyrel Reed, Thomas Robinson, Elijah Johnson and many other players. The only football players identified in the group were Dezmon Briscoe and Chris Harris, whom police from the KU Police Department were questioning. The KU senior said she heard a football player yell, "What did you say?" at 9:48 a.m. and run up a set of stairs behind Budig Hall. She said she saw one of the Morris twins throw the football player down the stairs. She said the football player fell backwards down six stairs Mangino discusses incident with players Coach Mark Mangino addressed the media for the first time since two incidents involving members of the football and basketball teams occurred Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Mangino downplayed the incident, speculating that things just got out of hand. "We're just talking about probably a few Though Mangino said he was still gathering information,he didn't think any suspensions would be handed out as a result of the situation. "I'm looking at the information that I've gotten so far and there are still a lot of things that have to get to me in terms of exactly what happened and how it happened," Mangino said. "But based on what I have right now, I don't see anything that would have me discipline any individual player." guys here that let their emotions get the best of them," Mangino said. "It's not nearly as big a situation as it has been portrayed in some media outlets." "I just told our guys we need to put it behind us and stay focused," senior quarterback Todd Reesing said. "We've moved past it. We've met with the guys and everything is under control. There are no bad feelings and there's not going to be a continuation of this." Mangino, the athletic administration and all members of the football and basketball teams met in the Anderson Family Football Complex. Athletic Director Lew Perkins called the meeting to discuss the situation Mangino and his players said on Wednes day evening that the meeting seemed to be a success. Mangino said that if any new, reliable information surfaces about the two incidents, he will take further action at that point. — Jayson Jenks before being caught by a fellow football player. She said immediately after, several pairs of football and basketball players began fighting. The reporter said he heard one of the Morris twins tell the police later, "One of them just jumped out and threw his hands on me," referring to the football players who were involved in the fight. Harrison Hems, San Diego senior, saw basketball and football players gathered in groups between Anschutz Library and the lower entrance to the Wescoe Underground. Hems said several basketball players were yelling at the group of football players. Hems said the group of football players continued to grow to 15 or more. He said police arrived on the scene after nearly five minutes of the players arguing with each other. Another source, who did not want to be identified, confirmed this information. This source described seeing football players running toward the scene from Sunnyside Avenue. They joined in the scuffle, which the Kansas senior said continued for a few minutes "It all happened really fast," the Kansas senior said. "There were a lot of people throwing punches." Shannon Jobe, Topeka sophomore, said she heard a football player tell the police one of the basketball players pushed a football player down the stairs. Another student who did not want to be identified said the other basketball players were trying to calm Collins down. "Mario Little told me football players had beef with Sherron," he said. "He said they were talking trash." Joe Dooley, assistant coach of the basketball team, arrived while the police officers were questioning the basketball players. After the initial yelling between teams subsided, the two separate groups of basketball and football players stood opposite each other, about 20 yards apart. Sophomore guard Tshawnw Taylor was seen but not admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Tuesday night, a nursing supervisor said. Police officers escorted some of the players inside Wescoe Hall shortly after the incident. The players were seen congregating outside the building near the entrance to The Underground. No police officers or players were available for questioning. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony confirmed that an incident occurred Tuesday evening in front of the Burge Union. The Lawrence Journal-World reported on its Website that the incident involved members of the football and basketball teams. Marchiony did not confirm that. "We are aware of reports of an incident and we are fact-finding right now," Marchiony said. KU Public Safety Capt.

It's time for some comfort food to eat while waiting for the football game to start. This soup is best prepared at home ahead of time, but reheats easily, especially when made in a stainless steel pot. This recipe has a family spin for me. My parents always made a version of this soup when I was younger, but since coming to college, I haven't had the joy of consuming it. So I decided to start making it on my own. It's a great soup because you can customize it with bacon or any number of spices. In the end, it's best to just throw in the ingredients and add flavors until it tastes perfect. What you'll need: One bag russet potatoes (about 8), cut into small chunks 1 green onion, diced Optional: dumpling batter (made of Bisquick mix and milk) 1 green onion, sliced ½ gallon half-and-half ½ cup milk 6 tablespoons butter salt & pepper to taste bacon pieces Instructions: Cook cut up potatoes in large pot. At the same time, dice green onions, cook in boiling water till soft. Drain potatoes and set aside $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups. Purée $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of potatoes in food processor. Combine the rest of the potatoes with drained onions in pot. Pour in half-and-half, milk, butter, pureed potatoes and optional bacon pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes or until you're ready! Cream cheese Optional: After cooking for a couple minutes, add dumplings in spoonfuls to soup. Cook 10 minutes with lid off and 10 minutes covered.

SPORTS | 1B MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2009 Alcohol and accountability WWW.KANSAN.COM Sub-committee talks rights, responsibilities of drinking STUDENT SENATE | 4A VOLUME 121 ISSUE 28 ATHLETICS Perkins addresses incidents before game BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com In an impromptu press conference before Kansas' game against Southern Mississippi on Saturday morning, Athletic Director Lew Perkins publicly addressed the incidents between members of the football and basketball team. In his 20-minute exchange with members of the media, Perkins called the incidents "a black eye" for the University and said he was "embarrassed" and "hurt" by the events that transpired during the week. "I've heard from a lot of people who say, 'Boys will be boys,' Perkins said. "But let me tell you, this is not boys will be boys. This is much more serious and much more complicated than boys will be boys." Perkins said that he had received hundreds of e-mails and text messages from people regarding the situation. And he said that each message had contained a slightly different opinion on how to handle the incidents. "This might be the most complicated thing that I've ever dealt with," Perkins said. "There are all kinds of different issues involved, all kinds of different people involved, and every time I think we kind of get where we are, another thing pops up." Tuesday night, sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor dislocated his thumb in a fight between members of the team. On his Facebook page, Taylor revealed that the injury occurred when he threw a punch, while also adding much-publicized statuses that he later said were song lyrics. Perkins said he has had multiple speakers talk about social media sites and that the athletic administration will continue to increase athletes' accountability and behavior in some manner in the near future. He said there was a "culture gap" between himself, the coaches and the student athletes. "You can recruit from a small little farm town the kid could have different kinds of problems and different cultural problems," Perkins said. "We have 600-plus kids here. I can honestly look everyone in the eye and say if we have 600-plus kids, 600 of our kids are awesome kids. "And then we have some kids that are probably not as awesome. Don't take that as a statement that just because a kid got in trouble he not an awesome kid. My only cliche is this: There's a reason people put erasers on pencils because people make mistakes." Then, on Wednesday morning, members of the football and basketball teams started another alteration between Wescoe and Budig Perkins Halls. The police were called and Perkins said all parties were still working and cooperating to uncover the specifics. At this time, no players have been suspended. "I've always had a policy that I've allowed our coaches to handle the discipline the way they want to with their teams," Perkins said. He added, though, that he — or the University — have the option at stepping in at any time. Wednesday afternoon. Perkins assembled each player from both teams in the Anderson Family Football Complex. While he wouldn't discuss the specifics of what he said during the meeting, he did say his point was very well-understood. "I'll say this: There was no mistaking what I said in there," Perkins said. "There was no mistaking where I was coming from. I'm 64 years old and I've been doing this for 40 years, I can honestly say that's as mad as I've been in a long time. And I was embarrassed." Multiple times during the 20-minute conversation with the media, Perkins discussed the future, noting that the damage is done and now the steps must be taken to prevent anything similar from happening again. Perkins said that he's always been a "cup half-full" person, and that's SEARCHING FOR UNDERSTANDING SEE PERKINS ON PAGE 3A SCHOOL IS HELL SUPPORT YOUR LOCA Lori Messinger, associate professor at KU's School of Social Welfare, recently published an article on how activists in a number of universities changed discriminatory policies for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Messinger said many people misunderstand what it means to be bisexual. Bisexuals face additional challenges Students struggle for acceptance in LGBT groups BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com Karianne Howard was 14 when she told her parents she was bisexual. She told her mother first — they were really close. Her dad was less predictable. Howard said she didn't really know how he felt about anything because he was quiet man who didn't share his views. She had her mom there for support when she finally told him. "When I told him and he saw that I was really worried about telling him, he just cheered up and said 'Well, I'm really glad that you told me. You're still the same person and I love you all the same." Because of the support from her parents, Howard considers herself lucky. Growing up in Tucson, Ariz, As she grew older, Howard faced struggles of a different kind. Being bisexual had its consequences, and not just from the straight community but from some gay men and lesbians, as well. As Howard was exposed to more people in the gay and lesbian community, she began to see there was a negative connotation to bisexuality that was separate from being gay or lesbian. Rachel Gadd-Nelson, Kansas City, Kan. junior and educational outreach coordinator for Queers and Allies, said the stigma about bisexuality was born out of ignorance and a general lack of understanding from both gay and straight communities. her coming out process was relatively painless. Except for a few of her religious friends, she found that most people were accepting. "A lot of people can understand gay and lesbian a lot better than they can wrap their mind around bisexuality," she said. "Even in the gay and lesbian community, there's still a lot of misconception, and maybe even stereotyping, for bisexual people and for transgender people." COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE Howard came to the University for academics, without any regard for its level of acceptance of her sexual identity. For the most part, her first impression was positive. She was introduced to many gay and lesbian people on campus and became involved with Queers and Allies, an organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and supporters. The stigma, however, still had an effect on some of her relationships. - Rachel Gadd Nelson, Kansas City, Kau, junior, educational outreach coordinator for Queens and Allies IS 'QUEER' DEROGATORY? "The cool thing about the word queer is that you can really use that word however the heck you want. You can identify yourself as queer and your definition of queer is completely different than how your next-door neighbor identifies as queer. I like the word because it's a reclaimed word and has more of a political sense to it." "Queer, fag, dyke — those words are all being reclaimed because they were all derogatory and I feel like people are taking it and turning it around and making it something powerful for themselves. If you can use it for yourself, then it takes away the negative power to it." — Karianne Howard, Tuscon, Ariz., senior, member of Queers and Allies After one lesbian friend learned Howard was bisexual, Howard never heard from her again. the fact that you're a minority, you feel like you should be helping or be supportive of other people in the minority."

"Especially within the gay community, if you can sense HOSPITAL Rape victims turned away BY BRANDON SAYERS AND ALEX GARRISON bsayers@kansan.com agarrison@kansan.com Four victims of alleged sexual assault went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Sept. 19 looking for treatment. They also went to have evidence of their attacks collected. Though all four were treated for injuries, the short-staffed hospital told two of the victims, both KU students, that they would have to travel elsewhere for the evidence collection that is necessary to prosecute an attacker. "It takes great courage for a survivor to come forward," Branson said in the letter. "For them to suffer yet another indignity at being turned away from the emergency room is unconscionable." Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson criticized the hospital for this act in a letter sent to the hospital and members of local government last week. The victims turned away, including the student who reported she was raped in her Oliver Hall room, were told after several hours of treatment and waited that they would have to go to a hospital in Topeka to have doctors collect the evidence needed to prosecute a suspect. Chelsea Mertz, Topeka senior, is a trained volunteer advocate with the GaDuGi SafeCenter, 2518 Ridge Ct. Suite 208, a Lawrence advocacy organization for victims of sexual assault. Advocates are called in cases of rape or sexual assault to provide support to victims throughout the examination process. Mertz said that she had been present on several occasions when a victim she was working with was turned away because of staff shortages. "We have had several cases where victims can't drive themselves or police officers were unavailable and they have gone unexamined." Mertz said.

Iraq, U.S. arrest person suspected of killing team BAGHDAD — Iraqi commandos and U.S. forces have arrested a suspect in the 2006 kidnapping and murder of an Iraqi taekwondo team whose highway ambush became one of the symbols of Iraq's lawlessness during its worse years of sectarian violence. The U.S. military announced the arrest in a statement Sunday, but did not say when it took place or identify the suspect. The Iraqi military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Athletes and sports officials were frequent targets of threats, kidnappings and assassination attempts at the height of the civil strife in 2006 and 2007. Sportsmen were targeted for ransom or as victims of the sectarian violence. 2.

Army troops, police and civilian volunteers plucked dead bodies from muddy flood waters and rescued drenched survivors from rooftops after Tropical Storm Ketsana tore through the northern Philippines a day earlier, leaving at least 106 people dead and missing. 3.

"We are going to respond to any military action in a crushing manner and it doesn't make any difference which country or regime has launched the aggression," state media quoted Salami as saying. He said the missiles successfully hit their targets. The display of force comes days after the U.S. and its allies warned Iran over a newly revealed nuclear facility it was secretly constructing.

William Safire, writer on politics, dead at 79 NEW YORK — Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist, language expert and former White House speechwriter William Safire has died. He was 79. His assistant Rosemary Shields says Safire died Sunday morning at a Maryland hospice.She said he had been diagnosed with cancer. Safire spent more than 30 years writing on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. In his "On Language" column in The New York Times Magazine and 15 books, Safire traced the origins of words and everyday phrases such as "straw-man","under the bus" and "the proof is in the pudding" As a speechwriter in the Nixon White House, Safire penned Vice President Spiro Agnew's famous phrase, "mattering nabobs of negativism," a tongue-in-cheek alliteration that Safire claimed was directed not at the press but Vietnam defeatists.

He said the bisexual stigma had a political undertone. Queers and Allies, in conjunction with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Resource Center at KU, display a booth outside Wescoe Hall Thursday morning. The two groups came together to celebrate Visibility Day—a call for family, friends and allies of the LGBT community to recognize, celebrate and raise awareness of its lifetimes. "There's politics in that, for example, bisexuality complicates the political agenda of gays and lesbians, and bisexuality pollutes the political intention of those who think heterosexuality is the only thing on the planet." Daley said. Godd-Nelson said this suspicion was prevalent in younger gay and lesbian people, as well. Messinger said older gay or lesbian people she knew were insecure dating bisexual people. Because being gay or lesbian was difficult, they were often fearful of their bisexual partners leaving them to be in a heterosexual relationship, a considerably easier path to take, she said. Lori Messinger, associate professor at the school of social welfare, recently published an article about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people on university campuses. She said much of the negativity came from some people's assumption that bisexuals were "gay copouts." "It's seen as you're not willing to come all the way out of the closet. You're just putting your foot out," she said. 'GREAT GROUP IN THE MIDDLE' Howard has encountered a number of myths about bisexuality, one being that a bisexual individual will Monica Soto, Kansas City, Kan., senior and public relations manager for Queens and Allies, said disapproval for bisexuality often stemmed from it being viewed as a choice that didn't really exist as a sexual orientation. Soto said she disagreed with this idea because though she and other lesbians had used bisexuality as a transition, others had stayed consistent with their bisexuality over time. "Some bisexuals show a preference in one of the genders, but most of the time, at least from what I've seen, they still stand firm in their bisexuality regardless of a preference," she said. They aren't choosing bisexuality, Soto said. It's how they are. date a guy and a girl at the same time out of need or desire for both. Howard said she did date both genders, but never at the same time. Infidelity was infidelity, she said, no matter the sexual orientation. Messinger said she thought bisexuality had a broader definition, overall. She said that younger girls tended to be extremely affectionate with each other — braiding hair, touching and leaning on each other, for example. She said although this was not necessarily a "lesbian thing," it showed that women had found a way to be close to each other while, perhaps, still having a sexual connection to men. "Sexuality is really this multi-faceted thing that has to do with your emotions, intimacy, sexuality and friendship, and all of these things are connected," she said. "I think we're all a little more bisexual than we think we are. But we think it's all about sex and not these other Dailey referred to bisexuality as the "great group in the middle." He said society didn't have an understanding of sexual aspects of it. If we could think more broadly, we wouldn't be so hung up about it". "It's seen as you're not willing to come all the way out of the closet. You're just putting your foot out." during a 10-year period. Though this study focused on women, it was in reaction to a study published in "Psychological Science" in 2007 that claimed men do not have bisexual attraction. "What we know is that how human beings are in the world erotically is an extraordinarily complex and an extraordinarily fluid issue, and it doesn't always conform to the political, social, religious expectations of the culture in which it exists," he said. orientation in general, including bisexuality. RACHEL GODD-NELSON Kansas City, Kan. junior Approximately 2 percent of the population, or 6.1 million people, is known to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual in the United States, according to the National Health and Social Life survey. Some other recent studies have tried to shed light on the topic. In January 2008, the American Psychological Association published a study that suggested bisexuality was a distinct sexual orientation for women, instead of just a transitional phase. Lisa Diamond, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Utah, conducted the study with 79 women "What women do, who they sleep with, it's basically like 'whatever,' Dailey said. "What men do, how they name themselves in the world, what choices they make — these are extremely important to everybody. So men who do things that are more feminine are going to get in trouble." Dailey said the findings of this study were true only to an extent. Diamond's conclusion that there was a larger group of bisexual women than bisexual men was missing an important element that would influence these results: the social Messinger said she thought women had more sexual freedom than men. pressure on men to be straight. Dailey said he thought society had sexist tendencies and held men to a different standard than women. Dailey said working in traditionally female occupations, having sex with other men and not being masculine enough were examples of abnormal male behavior by societal standards. "I think a lot of it is about our society. They're told that it's bad and gross and dirty," she said of men having sex with men. "For women, CHALLENGING IGNORANCE Howard said education and general discourse would be most important for dispelling the myths, assumptions and stigmas about bisexuality. Both Messinger and Dailey agreed that society's acceptance of LGBT communities had improved, but Dailey said the change was relatively small. He said, "we delude ourselves if we think there's been a dramatic change." He acknowledged that changed attitudes of certain churches and comprehensive sexuality education in some public schools were a step forward but were still achievements of a small scale. For the time being, Howard must deal with the concerns of her mother, who, after reading about the legislation of gay rights and learning of the struggles faced by the LGBT community, is expressing her own opinion on the matter. "She gets more and more worried about me and my safety and happiness, and so there have been some comments where, if I break up with a girl, she's like: 'You should date guys now. You should be normal,' Daily said. "No, that's not how it works," she said she tells her mother. "I'll date who I want." — Edited by Abbey Strusz KLEIN SEXUAL ORIENTATION GRID Each of the 21 boxes should contain a value from 1 to 7, categorizing the individual's answers to the questions.

"We do not lose any constitutional rights by joining the University EMILY WILLIAMS Committee chair Williams said the University of Kansas as a student. However, that does give housing some problems in a lot of ways. By giving us that freedom, we have to be more responsible with what we, as students, do with that freedom." Williams said that student accountability would be encouraged. Kaufman said that the sub-committee was not aiming to eliminate drinking altogether or to drastically change lifestyles of students. "Drinking in general is not realy the issue because there is a safe way to drink alcohol and consume it," he said. "But then there's the unsafe way, which is the problem that we're approaching." Vice Provost of Student Success Marlesa Roney who attended the meeting, agreed with Kaufman that the goal was not to prevent students from drinking at all, but to have moderation. "It's not about abstinence at all," she said. "It's about creating a healthy environment." Roney is expected to speak at future meetings about the statistics of alcohol abuse at the University in previous years. Williams said any person currently enrolled at the University was eligible for membership in the group. She said members could earn voting rights after attending two consecutive meetings, which ensures students are involved and informed on the subject before casting their votes. The completed report will be submitted to the Student Rights' Committee no later than Nov. 13. Edited by Brenna M.T.

MEAD GRUVER Associated Press glass it collects - 9 tons a week CHEYENNE, Wyo. — After working out at a gym, Amy Mahaffy dropped off a half-two glass jars in a city recycling container before heading home. The containers however won't end up being recycled any time soon. Their destination: A mound of glass at the city landfill, an ever-growing monument to the difficulty many communities across the country face in finding a market for a commodity that's too cheap for its own good. — for years. Instead, the city has been putting it in the landfill, using it to surround the concrete-walled wells that pump toxic fluids out of the dump. "We are stockpiling it in a desperate search for a market," landfill foreman Monty Landers said. Told where the glass bottles and jars that she diligently rinses out end up, Mahaffy seemed dismayed. "I don't think that's what they should be doing with it," she said. "I think they should be recycling it." Cheyenne hasn't recycled the The economics of glass recycling have been marginal for some time. to the Environmental Protection Agency. Nationwide, only about 25 percent of glass containers are recycled. That compared to 31 percent of plastic containers, 45 percent of aluminum cans and 63 percent of steel cans, according In northern Idaho, Kootenai County gave up collecting glass last year. In Oregon, which was the first of 11 states to adopt a bottle deposit law in 1971, Deschutes County stockpiled 1,000 tons of glass at its landfill before finally finding a use for it a couple years ago — as fill beneath an area for collecting compost. Glass also has piled up at the landfill serving Albuquerque, N.M., where officials this year announced that a manufacturer of water-absorbing horticultural stones would eventually use up their stockpiles. New York City gave up glass recycling from 2002 to 2004 because officials decided it was too costly. Looking for something to do? the guide Meet your new student entertainment search engine.

Just hours after the Group of 20 summit at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center ended Friday and the world leaders departed with their entourages, the army of officers from around the country began to disband. By early evening, public works crews had begun clearing and cleaning streets that had been shut down for two days. "I don't know what they actually accomplished, but I'm glad it's over," said Jeffrey Bauer, a U.S. Postal Service worker who has delivered a downtown route for three years. "Everywhere we went, we saw National Guard and state police on the corners, officers walking down the street two by two," Bauer said. "It reminded me of a movie, like 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' or some kind of science fiction movie where the town's empty. It seemed to me there were more police than citizens." During the two-day summit, mail carriers drove with color-coded sheets in their windows to get through security checkpoints. They also traveled in pairs to prevent vandalism of their vehicles by anarchists who were among the thousands of G-20 protesters in town. Many downtown businesses closed voluntarily, some of the smaller ones boarding their windows with plwwood. Bill Martinko, owner of Galardi's 30-Minute Cleaners, now wonders if he should have bothered. "I thought it would have been really bad, but nothing happened downtown at all," he said. "I wasted all that money boarding up." Martinko estimates closing on his two busiest days, Thursday and Friday, cost him at least $1,500. But he has had some extra business in recent weeks from Secret Service agents, who preferred his lower rates to those of the hotels, and he expects to make up his losses soon, with the weather turning cooler and people breaking out their autumn attire. ASSOCIATED PRESS Ryan estimates it lost thousands of dollars of income. Ryan was relieved no downtown businesses were damaged by protesters and marveled at the police presence. Cardamone's Hair Salon started getting cancellations Wednesday afternoon when security began to intensify, and receptionist Andrea "I've never seen anything like that, even with everything else that goes on down here — Steelers parades, Penguins parades," she said. "We get hundreds of thousand of people in crowds and there are no problems." Tensions flared up at times, but police quickly contained the unrest and minimized property damage. Thousands of peaceful protesters marched through the city legally Friday with what appeared to be an equal number of stone-faced riot police monitoring their every move from sidewalks and intersections. Later, however, hundreds of protesters clashed with police in the city's Oakland section, near the University of Pittsburgh. Magic Police said Saturday that 110 people were arrested Friday night after the summit, mostly for disorderly conduct and failure to disperse, bringing the arrest total to 193.

GERMANY CDU CDU CDU Chancellor Merkel wins majority in election German Chancellor Angela Merkel, top candidate of the Christian Democratic Union Party, CDU, waves after the German general elections in Berlin Sunday. Germany will be trying to come out of a recession under new leadership. Associated Press BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday won the center-right majority that eluded her four years ago — nudging Europe's biggest economic power to the right as it claws its way out of a deep recession. ASSOCIATED PRESS Voters sent the nation's main left-wing party, the Social Democrats of Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, into opposition after 11 years as part of the government. It was the party's worst parliamentary election result since World War II. BY GEIR MOULSON AND "There is no talking around it; this is a bitter defeat," a subdued Steinmeier said, vowing to lead a strong opposition. The conservative Merkel managed to end her four-year "grand coalition" with the Social Democrats thanks to a very strong showing by her new coalition partner, the probusiness Free Democrats. Her own Christian Democrats produced an underwhelming showing. "Tonight we can really celebrate," said a beaming Merkel, greeted by chants of "Angie! Angie!" from supporters. "(But) there are many problems in our country to be solved." Projections by the nation's public broadcasters, based on partial vote counts, put support for Merkel's Christian Democrats at up to 33.8 percent of the vote and for the Social Democrats at about 23 percent. The Free Democrats captured nearly 15 percent, the Left Party had 12 percent or more and the Greens above 10 percent. Both ARD and ZDF television channels said that would produce a stable center-right majority in parliament. It was a major shift from the 2005 election, in which Merkel's conservatives just squeaked by the Social Democrats. The White House said President Barack Obama called Merkel to congratulate her and "looks forward to continued close cooperation" with her. French President Nicolas Sarkozy also congratulated her. Merkel's second four-year term will be markedly different from her first, in which she presided over a middle-of-the-road government that was fractious but enjoyed a huge parliamentary majority. Heather Conley, director of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies' Europe Program, said the new government "is going to place much more burden on Chancellor Merkel to forge an agenda and implement it" Merkel's popularity has been fueled by her consensual approach. She will now lead a narrower coalition with a stronger opposition and a self-confident new partner, but suggested that she will stick to her own style. "My understanding was, and my understanding is, that I want to be the chancellor of all Germans," she told supporters, adding that protecting and creating jobs "will be my highest aim." Guido Westerwelle, the leader of the Free Democrats, is expected to be the next foreign minister. His party is returning to government after an 11-year absence. "We are pleased with this exceptional result but we know that above all else, this means responsibility," he said. Merkel vowed "swift and decisive" coalition talks, likely to be shorter than the two months of haggling that produced the "grand coalition" in 2005. Merkel and Westerwelle will now have to figure out how to deliver on pledges of tax relief — promises that Steinmeier had said were unrealistic as the government is running up huge debts to tackle the country's economic crisis.

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The tapes were obtained by an attorney and provided to The Oklahoman, the newspaper reported Sunday. Tape shows aftermath of Oklahoma City bombing BY TIM TALLEY Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — Long-secret security tapes showing the chaos immediately after the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building are blank in the minutes before the blast and appear to have been edited, an attorney who obtained the recordings said Sunday. "The real story is what's missing," said Jesse Trentadue, a Salt Lake City attorney who obtained the recordings through the federal Freedom of Information Act as part of an unofficial inquiry he is conducting into the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. Trentadue gave copies of the tapes to The Oklahoman newspaper, which posted them online and provided copies to The Associated Press. The tapes turned over by the FBI came from security cameras various companies had mounted outside office buildings near the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. They are blank at points before 9:02 a.m., when a truck bomb carrying a 4,000 pound fertilizer- and-fuel-oil bomb detonated in front of the building, Trentadue said. "Four cameras in four different locations going blank at basically the same time on the morning of April 19, 1995. There ain't no such thing as a coincidence," Trentadue said. He said government officials claim the security cameras did not record the minutes before the bombing because "they had run out of tape" or "the tape was being replaced." "The interesting thing is they spring back on after 9:02," he said. "The absence of footage from these crucial time intervals is evidence that there is something there that the FBI doesn't want anybody to see." A spokesman for the FBI in Oklahoma City, Gary Johnson, declined to comment and referred inquiries about the tapes to FBI officials in Washington, who were not immediately available for comment Sunday. The soundless recordings show people rushing from nearby buildings after the bomb went off. Some show people fleeing through corridors cluttered with debris. None show the actual explosion that ripped through the federal building. The FBI in the past refused to release the security camera recordings, leading Trentadue and others to contend the government. FBI agents did not report finding any security tapes from the federal building itself. MARINE LIFE 1950 A swim toward recovery U.S. considers removing humpback whales from endangered list The tail of a humpback whale is seen off the coast of Hawaii. The government is considering taking humpback whales off the endangered species list in response to data showing recovery. BY AUDREY MCAVOY "I don't know where the humpback people are going to come out," said David Cottingham, who Associated Press A panel of scientists will then study the data and produce a scientific report on their analysis in late spring or early summer. It's unclear what the decision on delisting the humpback will be. HONOLULU — The federal government is considering taking the humpback whale off the endangered species list in response to data showing the population of the massive marine mammal has been steadily growing in recent decades. Known for their acrobatic leaps from the sea and complex singing patterns, humpback whales were nearly hunted to extinction for their oil and meat by industrial-sized whaling ships well through the middle of the 20th century. But the species has been bouncing back since an international ban on their commercial whaling in 1966. Public comment is being accepted until Oct. 13 on the upcoming review, which is expected to take less than a year. It's the first review for humpbacks since 1999. "Humpbacks by and large are an example of a species that in most places seems to be doing very well, despite our earlier efforts to exterminate them," said Phillip Clapham, a senior whale biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The government is required by law to review the endangered species status of an animal or plant if it receives "significant new information." The National Marine Fisheries Service, a NOAA agency, received results last year from an extensive study showing that the North Pacific humpback population has been growing 4 to 7 percent a year in recent decades. heads the marine mammal and sea turtle conservation division at the Fisheries Service. "It would be premature to talk about it." Some environmental groups are already opposing the possibility of a delisting. Miyoko Sakashita, the ocean programs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said that ongoing climate change and ocean acidification are emerging threats that may hurt humpback whales. "Ocean conditions are changing so rapidly right now that it would probably be hasty to delist the humpbacks," Sakashita said. Ralph Reeves, who chairs the cetacean specialist group at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, said the U.S. should remove humpbacks from the list if populations have sufficiently recovered. He said conservationists must "be prepared and willing to embrace success" if they're to maintain what he called a "meanfulg" endangered species program. "The whole process, the credibility of it, depends on telling people that things are really bad when they're really bad and tell people that they aren't so bad when they aren't so bad," Reeves said. There are now an estimated 18,000 to 20,000 humpbacks in the North Pacific, up from just 1,400 in the mid-1960s. An early 1990s survey of humpbacks in the North Atlantic showed the population there was some 10,600. The results of a follow-up to that study, expected by the end of the year, are likely to show this population has grown, too. The global humpback population is estimated to be about 60,000, according to the Swiss-based Conservation of Nature union. STATE Helping the humpbacks is that they reproduce once every two to three years, as opposed to every three to five years for other whale species. They also have a diverse diet, including krill and herring, capelin and other fish. "They feed on a lot of different kinds of things, so they're adaptable," Clapham said. "They seem to be a resilient species generally with a lot of options." There are some subpopulations of humpbacks, however, that aren't as robust. A South Pacific group that feeds in the Antarctic and then migrates to the warm waters off New Caledonia, Samoa and Tonga to breed and calve isn't doing as well. Kansas' budget problems could remain even after economy recovers Associated Press BY JOHN HANNA TOPEKA — Budget problems are likely to linger for state government well after Kansas' economy starts to recover. Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson and the Republican-controlled Legislature are waiting to see whether revenues are strong enough in the next few months to avoid additional cuts later this year and next year. But they also must consider how the state will cope if federal stimulus dollars disappear, as expected, after 2011. Even when healthy revenue growth returns, the state will face vexing budget issues. They include a pension system for teachers and government workers with serious long-term funding issues and a potential lawsuit over education funding. The sense of scarcity — and the tough choices going with it — probably will remain into the next governor's term, with Parkinson planning to step aside in January 2011. "I think for at least the next three to four years, we are going to find ourselves under a lot of pressure," said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jay Emler. a Lindsborg Republican. "It will last for multiple years" Re c ently, state officials have focused on month-to-month revenue figures for signs the economy will stabilize. Parkinson has cuts in the current budget. The state has seen four rounds of adjustments this year to keep the budget balanced, the last one in July. "I think for at least the next three to four years, we are going to find ourselves under a lot of pressure." Many Republicans are skeptical the current budget will remain balanced. GOP leaders also believe the state could face $500 million or more worth of adjustments to prevent a deficit in fiscal 2011, which hopes revenues will meet projections closely enough to prevent JAY EMLER Ways and Means chair begins July 1,2010. If they're wrong and Parkinson's optimism is vindicated, the state still faces replacing stimulus dollars in fiscal 2012. Stimulus covers cover almost $400 million worth of spending in the current budget. And, even if the stimulus weren't an issue, pressure on the state's finances would build anyway, as events last week showed. One source of pressure is the public One source of Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. At the end of last year, the gap between projected income and expenses over the next 25 years was $8.3 billion. A University of Kansas report ernorm workers, and away from plans that guarantee benefits up front, regardless of the pension "We still have to make up for that lack of funding that wasn't put in there in the past." DENNIS PHILLIPS Retired Topeka fire chief or Kansas report declared KPERS "bankrupt." Many state officials think that's overstating the case, and an improved economy is likely to shrink the gap as KPERS investment earnings recover. But a multibillion-dollar shortfall is likely to-main unless the state acts. The report suggested moving toward 401(k)-style plans for gov- system's ultimate ability to pay. Without fundamental reform, the report said, the state is doomed to pour ever-greater amounts of tax dollars into KPERS — and probably to raising taxes. But State Treasurer Dennis McKinney. a Democrat who serves on the KPERS Board of Trustees, said new pension plans will require startup funds. And, he said, the state still will be required to fund the old plans because employees can't be forced by law to give them up. But if McKinney and other critics of the University of Kansas report don't see the need to overhaul KPERS, they do see a need for the state to deal with the long-term funding gap. "We still have to make up for that lack of funding that wasn't put in there in the past," said Dennis Phillips, a retired Topeka fire chief who is now chairman of a retirees coalition. Meanwhile, rumblings about school finance last week came from a meeting Dodge City and Liberal school officials had with Wichita attorney Alan Rupe and fellow attorneys who've sued the state successfully before. The previous lawsuit was filed in 1999, and Kansas Supreme Court orders in 2005 and 2006 forced dramatic increases in aid to public schools. With its budget problems this year, the state backtracked and cut base aid to schools almost 5 percent. GRE™ LSAT™ GMAT™ TEST PREPARATION That’s Right on Target.

"We believe that to ensure the legal case and to provide the best care, these nurses need to be trained properly. Early-Weas said. "When one of the trained nurses is not available, we send people to someone who is."

CHARLES BRANSON Kansas district attorney preferred for the collection of sexual assault evidence. SANEs undergo a 40-hour training session and period of observation. Early-Weas said the hospital currently had five certified SANEs on staff. On Sept. 19, only one SANE was available to collect evidence. The other four certified nurses were out of town or unavailable for reasons unknown to Early-Weas. The SANE available on that day had already completed one rape examination that lasted more than five hours. She was completing another examination when the two other victims arrived for treatment. They waited several hours before being turned away. Mertz said this was often the case. "If the SANE person is off-call, they must be called in," she said. "It is very often a lengthy process." Early-Weas said the hospital never wanted to send patients to other locations, but that this transfer was recommended because it was in the best interest of the victim. Early-Weas reported that 35 victims came to the hospital for collection of sexual assault evidence in 2008. Of these, six were transferred to other locations for better service. Through August of this year, 39 victims of sexual assaults came to the hospital for collection of evidence. Four of these victims were transferred to other locations for better service. In his letter to hospital leaders, Branson said the hospital should take precautions to ensure that victims of sexual assaults were not further humiliated during treatment and rape examinations. and then must go to yet another facility." "I do not believe transferring a patient to another hospital is ideal," Branson said. "There can be additional trauma to the victim when they report to the hospital Branson also said a delay in examining the victim can result in a loss of evidence. Branson said the hospital may transfer victims of sexual assaults to other locations if their injuries were exceptionally traumatic or if the hospital thought service could be provided best elsewhere. The hospital refers any victims who are younger than 14 to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Occasionally, local police will provide transportation, but it is on a case-by-case basis. Mertz said that one victim was transported by University police while the other was transported by a family member. Branson and Gene Meyer, president of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, met Thursday to discuss the district attorney's concerns. "The hospital acknowledged they do not have full coverage for these issues," Branson said. "We agreed to work together to address the problem." Early-Weas said the hospital was working to ensure that more nurses were available who are qualified to collect sexual assault evidence and that an additional SANE would be available in about two weeks. Other nurses in the hospital had volunteered to undergo the training necessary for this type of certification. "We're going to step up our efforts." Early-Weaas said. In his letter to hospital leaders, Branson said it would even be preferred that nurses without SANE certification conduct rape examinations if SANEs are not available. Elise Higgins, Topeka senior and president of the University's Commission on the Status of Women, said the group first heard about the issue a few days ago and was happy to hear a public official took action to make improvements Numbers to know: Support services for victims The first entry of the Kansas Victims' Bill of Rights, K.S.A. 74-7333, reads...

"For a woman that has just been sexually assaulted, nothing could be more detrimental to Here are some resources that can help victims of sexual assaults reduce inconveniences when reporting these types of crimes: 1. Victims should be treated with courtesy, compassion and respect for their dignity and privacy and should suffer the minimum of necessary inconvenience from their involvement with the criminal justice system. Here are the non-emergency phone numbers for local police agencies: Higgins also said she thought these incidents showed a lack of compassion for victims of sexual assaults.

Daldorph RESEARCH Professor makes study of coffee shop chain BY KATHY MATHESON Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — If Bryant Simon owned a coffee shop, it would not have conversation-killing Wi-Fi. It probably wouldn't offer to-go cups. But it would have a big, round table strewn with newspapers to stimulate discussion. Seattle-based Starbucks had nearly $10.4 billion in revenue in 2008. Simon, however, argues the true cost of macchiatos and frappuccinos is much greater — that Starbucks, a private corporation, has enriched itself in part by taking advantage of Americans' impoverished civic life. That sense of community is what's missing from Starbucks, a conclusion Simon reached after visiting about 425 of its coffee shops in nine countries. And yet millions of people patronize the outlets each day. Simon writes that while people once were able to find meaningful conversation and debate at libraries, recreation centers and parks, those public spaces have become less available — and less desirable — since municipal resources are focused elsewhere. Simon, a history professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, has spent the past few years figuring out why. His new book, "Everything but the Coffee: Learning about America from Starbucks," is meant "to be part of a public debate about what our purchases mean ... (and) how consumption shapes our lives even when we don't intend it to," Simon said. Starbucks has filled that void, according to Simon. Or has it? After spending up to 15 hours a week in various Starbucks over the past few years, Simon said he witnessed very few spontaneous discussions or interactions. The couches, plush chairs and tables all seemed to be used for planned meetings or solo work on laptops. "Rarely ... do these different people doing different things actually talk and exchange ideas, but talk and ideas are crucial to the making of community," he writes. "Given that we seem so reliant on Starbucks as part of the urban infrastructure and suburban infrastructure," Grazian said, "we should be interested in thinking about what it means when so much of our public sphere is taken over by a private enterprise." Simon's observations are already being debated in college classrooms. David Grazian, a sociology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is using the book in a class on media and popular culture. Still, it's clear that Starbucks is giving people what they want, Simon said. Customers line up for lattes for any number of reasons: to treat themselves; to carry a status symbol; to support coffee growers in underdeveloped nations; to relax in a safe haven; or to taste a bit of comfort far away from home, he writes. But he questions whether Starbucks keeps people from doing the hard work necessary to build better communities. CRIME Wichita police arrest alleged gang member TULSA, Okla. — Federal officials say an alleged gang member from Tulsa who is accused in a slaying has been arrested in Wichita, Kan. Lawrence Ballard has been listed by authorities as a most-wanted suspect. He was arrested Saturday at a home in northern Wichita on a murder charge. Ballard is charged with first-degree murder in the April shooting death of Colby Harris. The U.S. Marshals announced the arrest in a news release. Investigators say that Ballard had fought with Harris about money shortly before the shooting. Earlier this month, Ballard was named to the Justice Department's national list of most-wanted gang suspects. FIRE Authorities find body of man in burning home Associated Press ARCADIA — Authorities responding to a domestic dispute have found a man's body in a burning southeast Kansas home Banning southeast Rhode Island. The cause of death for 29-year-old Justin Schmitz of Arcadia was not immediately known. The Crawford County Sheriff's Department said in a news release that he also had sustained a gunshot wound. His wife, Amber, told authorities she called her mother and asked for a ride after arguing with her husband. She was leaving the home early Sunday when he came outside and opened fire, striking the vehicle three times. Neither mother nor daughter were injured. Deputies noticed smoke coming from the home while setting up a perimeter. After making repeated and unsuccessful attempts to contact Justin Schmitz, they entered the home and found his body. Associated Press The cause of the fire is under investigation.

TRIBUTE New documentary covers Jackson's last performance BY MICHAEL CIDONI Associated Press LOS ANGELES — As dozens of buoyant Michael Jackson fans queued up in the Nokia Plaza to be among the first to see their idol's last performance, others watching the scene expressed mixed emotions. Tim Lewek, president of AEG, which bankrolled Jackson's "This is It" tour and is a key player in the film, recalled the moment he got Zip ahead some three months, to Thursday afternoon — about an hour before the opening of the nearly two-and-a-half day waiting line for advance tickets to "Michael Jackson's 'This is It'" concert documentary. Leiweke reunited with the news of Jackson's death. "Well, at first it lets all the air out of you, and you sit here and you're stunned at how quickly it happened and occurred. You're in denial. You can't believe it. You're looking around, saying, 'What happened?' musicians, singers and dancers from the tour in a press conference held in the plaza, which is just directly across the street from the Staples Center, the site of Jackson's rehearsals, the last of which taking place just hours before his death June 25. "It's mixed feelings, first of all, to see these guys again, and to be in this space," noted singer Darryl Phinnessee. "You know, we finished rehearsing at quarter to midnight the night before Michael died, and he was energetic and up and doing his thing, as you'll see in the movie."

CHANCE DIBBEN/KANSAN "Looks like the Kansas PR machine is hard at work. What a weak attempt by the Athletics Department to fabricate statements by popular athletes in hopes of winning back lost respect. Suspensions better happen! If these athletes didn't make so much money for the University, heads would be rolling. Let's just say it was the golf team duking it out with the tennis team. I'm sure the Athletics Department would act swiftly in following the code of conduct policies on campus without flinching." Eugene2010 If bad choices don't have consequences, people will continue to make bad choices. It's Parenting 101. Sometimes you have to do things you don't like in order to get people to change their behavior. Of course, with absentee parenting, this generation will never understand that concept, and probably never grow up. I don't believe the players know that their actions do not just directly affect the current students who reside on the campus and in Lawrence. They need to realize, and I think it takes graduating and moving away to understand it, that Jayhawk Nation is EVERYWHERE. There is not one supporter, alumnus or fan that did — joedirt92 So disappointing. Evidently these student-athletes don't take much pride in being part of this great institution. I'm really bummed and don't know what to think. mojayhawks1234 I'm a student here at the University of Kansas and you do not fully understand what your actions have done to us — the supporters or you college athletics. We love watching you guys play every Saturday or weekday. However, you guys just don't understand how important to us you mean. Respect the students — beaui KS and the fans when you do an act that can reflect the University. Just think of all of the KU fans you have hurt. Think about the hundreds of thousands of supporters behind you before you decide to do this. It's very nice for the leaders to accept responsibility for the actions of the team and to express embarrassment. However, all of the children involved need to pay a price that needs to be very public, very visible — community work, helping with grounds keeping, being held out of the next game, riding the bench instead of starting for a while — something to demonstrate that they are getting the message. The message they need to have drilled into their thick skulls is "Under no circumstances will this sort of behavior be tolerated." tumbleweed EDITORIAL CARTOON Morally upstanding chickens across America were shocked by Ernie Anastos' recent broadcast. [GASPI] JAMES FARMER NUTRITION Take advantage of local produce This may seem a little dramatic, but food deserts like this are all too familiar for many Americans. Food deserts were first recognized in the 1990s as regions where fresh food is difficult to find. Because of the growing popularity of superstores on outskirts of town, food deserts have boomed. Imagine for a moment that the nearest grocery store is 50 miles away. Staying local is an option, but a single apple costs $5. Not to worry. The go-to pizza chain still offers extra-large, extra-filling and extra-nutrient-depleted slices for a low price. What is left behind are convenience stores and cheap fast-food joints, where the only fresh ingredients are found somewhere between a bun. For people facing this reality, healthy eating is virtually not an option. With the competition of mega-markets, mom-and-pop grocery stores that once populated the corners of city blocks have gone the way of record shops and roller-skating rinks. Michelle. Obama has recently brought attention to the challenges of food desert residents by leading healthy eating initiatives. She created a garden on the White House PURSUIT OF HEALTHFULNESS EMILY MCCOY lawn, talked with school children about the significance of healthy eating and marked the opening of a new farmers market by stocking up on a variety of foods. The message Mrs. Obama is sending is significant: One of the best ways to approach healthy eating is by using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. To the citizens of Lawrence this concept shouldn't be too revolutionary. Lawrencians have been privy to the benefits of local eating for many years. Three days a week downtown is home to Kansas' oldest continually operating farmers markets, where vendors from around the state offer an assortment of vegetables, fruits, baked goods and much more. At the market, unlike the gamble with freshness that is common with pre-packaged items, the goods are guaranteed to be straight from the vine, orchard or oven. If any hesitation remains, simply move onto the next vendor — the good-spirited competitive atmosphere ensures the best products at the lowest prices. Even for the most gifted of farmers, Kansas's winters are not very bountiful. As a result, the market only runs from April to mid-November. Fortunately, even in the off-season many natural food options are to be found in Lawrence. Some stores specialize purely in natural goods and many large grocery stores have created specialty food sections, where natural products can be bought in the same trip can as laundry detergent. Simply put: Lawrence is not a food desert and should not be treated as such. While grabbing a sandwich from a fast-food restaurant does have it's role in the world (convenience is not to be underestimated in the life of a college student), its important to take advantage of the great opportunities for healthful eating that our community offers. Need extra incentive? The farmers market has baked goods. Hello, fresh-made muffin! At least it's a step in the right direction. McCoy is a Lincoln, Neb., sophomore in journalism. POLITICS Climate change: A history of fear Newsweek Magazine reports, "There are ominous signs that the Earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production — with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth." The New York Times reads, "The facts of the present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failure in a decade." And according to Time Magazine, "As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval." Scared? Don't be. These are all articles taken from 1974 and 1975 and they aren't warning of global warming; they are fears of an imminent global cooling. From cooling in the 1900s to warming in the 1930s, back to cooling in the 1970s and back again to warming starting in the 1980s, only one thing has remained constant — humans are doomed unless government can save us. Scientists and journalists have been warning us of impending climate disasters for more than 100 years. Many of today's global warming believers probably don't even realize their claims are not original. In the 1930s the media was in a global warming fervor over shrinking Arctic ice. This global warming movement came on the heels of the great global cooling scare of the 1900s. During that movement, the Los Angeles Times warned the entire human race that it "will have to fight for its existence against cold." The trendy global warming scare of today originated from government reports and is now responsible for millions of government jobs and the expenditure of billions of taxpayer dollars. It has been a largely successful THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON Czech President Vaclav Klaus called the United Nations climate change meeting held in New York last week "propagandistic" and "undignified." campaign, but the so-called "consensus" is now in a free fall. This is devastating to the alarmist's cause, which has been forced away from scientific facts and centered itself on a "consensus of scientists" as its main modus operandi. You'll never hear this in the media, but more than 700 international scientists are now voicing their dissent of man-made global warming claims. This is compared to the "consensus" of 52 scientists that signed the media-hyped and government published Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report to policy makers in 2007. To believe that our actions are changing the climate is remarkably conceived. The planet is about 4.5 billion years old. Humans have occupied the earth for around 200,000 years (0.00004 percent of Earth's existence). The planet will be just fine. It's the people we need to worry about. That's the right idea. The dying consensus and the fact that the earth has been cooling during the last decade makes it about time to make the case for global cooling again. It goes something like this: Our planet is growing colder because of evil man and if government doesn't take drastic steps to curb our activities then our sinful ways will bring rising oceans, drowning cities and countless other plagues upon us.

Tanning is a choice but cancer is not LETTER TO THE EDITOR The University of Kansas has many students and faculty members who have been affected by breast cancer, whether it be a friend, family member or their own personal battle. As we approach October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) it is important to continue to raise awareness across campus. Lying in that tanning bed is a choice. Developing breast cancer is not. Furthermore, the University does not own Salon Hawk. In a recent editorial, Salon Hawk was ridiculed for doing just that. Owner Emily Willis is holding a fundraiser in which proceeds to go the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center. Salon Hawk was not ridiculed for simply holding this fundraiser, but for somehow contradicting it by providing tanning beds that could lead to skin cancer. If the University is to be included in this ridicule, we should acknowledge the fact that smoking is allowed across campus, exposing thousands of students to cancer-causing chemicals without consent. Raising awareness of breast cancer and promoting early detection are two of the most crucial things we can do for prevention — there is no cure. Among cancer related deaths, breast cancer is the No. 2leading cause in women. While I agree that every form of cancer is worthy of being brought to our attention, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Only 1 in 58 will be diagnosed with skin cancer. Survival rates are on the rise, and it's because of people such as Willis who hold fundraisers to help raise awareness of the cause. Early detection screenings helped my great-grandmother win her fight against breast cancer. Salon Hawk is doing a wonderful thing for our community. Not only will I be wearing my pink ribbon next month, I will also have a pink streak. Amanda Easley is a sophomore from Junction City.

Both were feted Saturday with a parade and a celebration of the legume whose reputation struggled after a salmonella outbreak earlier this year. The outbreak, linked to a plant in nearby Blakely, forced state legislators to adopt new food safety regulations after it sickened hundreds and may have caused the deaths of as many as nine people. But the peanut is bouncing back, boosters say: Sales are up about 15 percent last month after plunging 20 percent in the wake of the salmonella scare. "It's a miracle," said Tyron Spearman, executive director of the National Peanut Buying Points Association. "It has come back at an unbelievable pace." The outbreak sent shudders throughout Georgia's peanut industry, which employs more than 50,000 people and packs an estimated economic impact of $2.5 billion. For Plains, the crop is a way of life even if there are fewer farmers than there used to be. "We've always depended on peanuts here," said Carter, who has been involved in peanut production since he was a 5-year-old on his family farm. "It's still a great factor in my life. Peanut growers, peanut producers — we all feel like a giant family and we're celebrating one of the greatest products here." Saturday's festival featured fried peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter ice cream, peanut brittle, boiled peanuts, roasted peanuts and enough peanut candies to supply Halloween treats for the whole town of more than 600 people. Peanut sculptures, toys and antiques were on sale. The president, who turns 85 on Thursday, said he always goes out of his way to clear his schedule so he can preside over the annual parade. Peanut princesses and farmers driving antique tractors snaked along the parade route, turning to acknowledge the 39th president as he stood on the balcony of the Plains Historic Inn. Besides, Spearman quipped, it wouldn't be much of a celebration without him: The festival's motto is: "Plains, peanuts and a president."

For now, we can do the same. Just keep a nightlight on. Make a deal with athletics that we'll let it clean up its mess unimpeded but demand full disclosure if another incident occurs on campus. It would be foolish to think that chatter on campus, in neighboring cities and on rival teams' message boards regarding the quarrels will cease. It's also foolish to assume all is suddenly and completely well between the two programs. There will be a fringe few lacking the wherewithal and maturity to mend those fences. It's easy to take those statements for granted. Don't. "I've been doing college athletic administration for over 40 years," Perkins said. "I've never experienced anything like this" Perkins, football coach Mark Mangino, men's basketball coach Bill Self and all those affiliated with the department are dealing with a situation of greater magnitude than anything they've faced in all their experiences.

Kansas won 35-28 after a tough defensive stand. On the ball, in the clutch Defense steps up its performance late in the game to seal the victory BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com The defense gathered once more before taking the field late in the fourth quarter — a simple, but decisive message bouncing around the huddle. We have to make a stop. We have to win this game for us. It's on us now, D. With 1:53 left in the game — and with Kansas clinging to a 35-28 lead — Southern Mississippi took control of the ball at its own 33-yard line. The Golden Eagles had moved with relative ease throughout the first three quarters. They had picked apart the secondary, completely limited the pass rush and, most importantly, stirred images of Kansas' defense from a year ago — a unit that simply struggled to coerce stops against high-scoring offenses. On Saturday, in need of such a stop, the lahawks rallied to sack quarterback Austin Davis for a 10-yard loss on third down, effectively sealing the victory. It was Kansas' only sack of the game. "That's a big gut check," junior corner back Chris Harris said. "It's going to tell the tale of what's going to happen the rest of the season. That was big to show that we had the mental toughness to get that stop." Sure, Kansas' late stop to preserve the victory was a critical moment in the game. But it also buildup the war. bucked the form of the 2008 defense. Statistically, the Jayhawks weren't a good defensive team last season.

T Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenks at twitter. com/jaysonjenks "The whole defense, we took it upon our shoulders that we had to stop them," junior defensive end Jake Laptad said. "Stop them: That was really the only choice we had." Southern Miss entered the game 3-0, and plenty of national pundits selected the Golden Eagles as a trendy team to pull off an early-season upset. For three quarters, Southern Miss went yard-for-yard with a Kansas team that never appeared to develop a rhythm during the game. The Jayhawks committed 10 penalties, including two intentional groundings and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Reeing. "We knew coming in that that was a very good team," Reesing said. "But looking back, we're kind of surprised at how good they were." Reeing, who threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns, led a Kansas offense that played well in the first half and sporadically after halftime. The layhawks failed to score on their final three drives, something that would have put the game out of reach. Instead, the game fell into the hands of Kansas' defense, a group maligned for their inability to come through in similar situations last season. After the game, Mangino talked about the development of the defense and how the unit was expected to be a work-in-progress throughout the early portion of the season. He said the defense took a big step forward with a lockdown performance that allowed Kansas to avoid being upset by a feisty Southern Miss team. And then he returned to the clichè used countless times during Mangino's tenure. "They kept sawing wood. They really did," Mangino said. "They got beat on plays, they never got discouraged and never got down. Turned out, they played a phenomenal fourth quarter."

Kansas Athletics NFL Saints shut out T.O. for first time in 13 years ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Turns out Drew Brees doesn't have to throw a touchdown pass — or put up 45 points — to secure a victory. The New Orleans Saints' overlooked defense proved pretty stout. Will Smith had a sack and an interception to lead a Saints defense that held Terrell Owens without a catch for the first time since his rookie season in 1996 on the way to New Orleans' 27-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Running back Pierre Thomas sealed the win by scoring two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes and finished with a career-high 126 yards rushing all in the second half. Brees finished 16 of 20 for 172 yards, ending an NFL-leading 22-game streak of throwing for 200 yards or more. "Our defense played out-standing," Brees said. "Every time they stepped on the field they just felt like the were going to shut them down." New Orleans generated four sacks and prevented Buffalo (1-2) from registering a first down in its final five possessions.

MORNING BREW Granted, this latest climb wasn't so much a product of a dominating performance by Kansas — actually, if the pass defense forgets to show up in conference play like it did this week, this column will be quickly rendered obsolete — but rather a second consecutive weekend of uninspiring performances from the teams at the top My dark horse candidate for the title, No. 6 Cal, took a 42-3 beating at the hands of the Oregon Ducks, and they were just one of many. Of the teams ranked Nos. 4, 5, 6, 9 and 18 — all above the Jayhawks But back to the effects this will have on the Jayhawks. For one, if they start to defend the pass, they have a legitimate shot at running the table — only Texas and Oklahoma are ranked above the Jayhawks and left on the schedule. — that lost last week, only No. 9 was to a ranked opponent. Kansas has the Sooners at home, where the Jayhawks are tough to beat on their bad days. Even if Sam Bradford returns to form — which at this point seems unlikely — Kansas has a real shot to knock off the Sooners. This is BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com especially true considering the Sooners' early season collapse against BYU, and though excuses can legitimately be made about Bradford's being out, the Cougars have never, to me at least, seemed to have the makings of a top-15 team. The biggest challenge will likely be the Longhorns, which Kansas hasn't beat since 1938, and never in Austin. Neither is a good trend if you're a Kansas fan. But Kansas, despite everything Mark Mangino will say to the contrary, is looking more and more like the team that won the Orange Bowl a couple of seasons back. receiver corps in the nation to help him in the aerial attack. The Jayhawks are top-20 in both rushing and passing offense and are averaging more than 40 points a game.

On Sunday, La Russa kept catcher Yadier Molina (sore knee) and outfielder Matt Holliday (sickness) out of the starting lineup for precautionary reasons. That's going to be his approach the rest of the way - rest players only if necessary. "It's common sense — if you're tired, you get a rest. If you're hurt, you get a rest," La Russa said.

Royals take down Twins win season home finale Edited by Abbey Strusz Minnesota struggles as Greinke shuts down major plays Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack Greinke worked out of several jams in seven innings to bolster his AL Cy Young Award chances and Yuniesky Betancourt hit a three-run homer, helping the Kansas City Royals win their home finale 4-1 over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. BY JOHN MARSHALL Greinke (16-8) worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the third inning and escaped two other tight spots to drop his baseball-best ERA to 2.06. Joakim Soria got the final six outs, inducing a groundout by Joe Mauer with two on in the ninth for his 29th save in 32 chances. Minnesota had a chance to move within a game of the AL Central lead after Detroit lost to the White Sox. The Twins just couldn't overcome Francisco Liriano's short-lived return to the rotation nor solve Greinke when it mattered, going 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position against him. Orlando Cabrera had three hits for Minnesota, which now faces its biggest series of the season: four games in Detroit, starting Monday. Dominant all season but particularly over the past month, Greinke had to fight through some tough spots. He opened the third by walking Matt Tolbert, a .228 hitter, then gave up two soft singles to Nick Punto and Denard Span. The right-hander worked out of that with a forceout at home and consecutive strikeouts of Mauer and Jason Kubel, who slammed his helmet to the ground in frustration. After whizzing through a five-pitch fourth inning, Greinke ran into more trouble in the sixth, giving up his first run in 40 2-3 innings on Michel C u d d y e r ' s groundout that made it 4-1. The Twins had two on with no outs in each of the next two innings against him, failing to score both times. With the Twins trying to catch the Tigers in the Central, manager Ron Gardenhire didn't have a lot of patience for the left-hander in his first start since Aug. 17. same kind of leeway. Greinke allowed one run and seven hits to beat Minnesota for the first time in seven starts. He's 5-0 with a 0.73 ERA over his last seven outings and has allowed one run or less in 17 of 32 starts this season. Zack Greinke's performance in the game helped drop the Royals pitcher's earned run average to 2.06. Try 45 pitches worth. Both runners moved up on a sacrifice before Betancourt hit a 1-2 pitch out to left for his sixth homer. Liriano made it through the first inning, stranding Willie Bloomquist at third. In the second, he gave up a leadoff double to Alberto Callaspo and walked Miguel Olivo. Liriano (5-13) didn't get the A four-pitch walk to Luis Hernandez — a .169 hitter — another walk to Mitch Maier, and Gardenhire came to the mound. Liriano was done after five outs. Betancourt also doubled to lead off the fourth and scored on Jeff Manship's wild pitch. Royals trainer Nick Swartz, who's retiring after 33 seasons with the organization, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The entire roster joined him on the mound. Mauer is 25 for 55 against the Royals this season after going 2 for 5. The Royals drew nearly 1.8 million fans this season, their most since 1993.

The Eagles defeated the Chiefs, 14-14. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles didn't need much from Michael Vick to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They didn't need anything from Donovan McNabb or Brian Westbrook. Getting significant contributions from their youngsters and backups, the Eagles routed the Chiefs 34-14 in Vick's return to the NFL on Sunday. Kevin Kolb threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns, LeSean McCoy had 84 yards rushing and one TD, and DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek each had 100-plus yards receiving and one score for Philadelphia (2-1). McNabb missed his second straight game with a broken rib. Westbrook sat out with a sore ankle. It was no problem against the Chiefs (0-3). Kolb, a third-year pro making his second career start, and McCoy, a rookie second-round pick, filled in nicely. Meanwhile, Vick was mostly a decov. Playing his first regular-season game since Dec. 31, 2006 — 1,001 days ago — Vick ran once for 7 yards and threw two incomplete passes. Vick, who served 18 months in prison on a federal dogfighting charge, didn't have to wait long to get on the field. He entered to for the second play from scrimmage, was split wide as receiver and came around for a fake reverse. Overall, Vick got in for 11 plays. He lined up at receiver once, took the snap in shotgun formation nine times and was directly under center once. Kolb was on the sideline for the 10 plays Vick was in at QB. Vick was expected to run Philadelphia's version of the wild-cat offense, but McCoy took most of those snaps. With Vick on the field, the Eagles gained a net total of 30 yards. They got 390 without him. Or McNabb, Or Westbrook. and two TDs for Kansas City. Jackson finished with a career-high 149 yards receiving, including a 64-yard TD. Celek had 104 yards on eight catches. Matt Cassel threw for 90 yards The normally pass-happy Eagles were more balanced during their first two scoring drives. After Kolb Vick, who served 18 months in prison on a federal dogfighting charge, didn't have to wait long to get on the field. Then Vick, who had a 7-yard run on his second snap, fired a pass out of bounds under heavy pressure and took a hard hit. McCoy took the next snap in the wildcat and ran in for his first career TD to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead. Kolb hit Jackson for 43 yards on the next possession to move the Eagles into Kansas City territory. Vick handed off to McCoy for an 11-yard run on his only play during the series. Kolb sneaked in from the 1 to put Philadelphph ahead 14-0. The Chiefs took advantage of good field position after the Eagles failed to convert a fourth- and 1 at Kansas City's 44. With Vick watching from the sideline, Kolb rolled out and his pass was knocked down by Mike Vrabel. But the Eagles answered on their first play after the kickoff, Jackson turned Kolb's short pass over the middle into a 64-yard TD to make it 21-7. The Jackson dove into the end zone and appeared to land awkwardly on his gimpy groin, but stayed in. Cassel's 13-yard TD pass to Mark Bradley cut it to 14-7. . . Kolb zipped a 35-yard TD pass to Celek midway through the fourth quarter to put the game way out of reach.

On second down, he was stopped for no gain. Finally, after three consecutive carries between the tackles, he cashed in with a two-yard touchdown. The drive was also scored on his aforementioned touchdown plunge and a 12-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. "People mistake that about offense, that we get hit all the time. You got to deliver a blow too." Despite starting at running back for three years at Plano East High School in Texas, Opurum said he thought he had never had as many carries as he did in Kansas' 35-28 victory against Southern Miss. TOBEN OPURUM Freshman running back Opurum's day in Kansas' victory against Southern Miss Saturday. He carried 28 times for 109 yards despite a long rush of just 11 yards. He "It was pretty ridiculous," he said. After 28 carries, two receptions and a few bone-crushing hits, Opurum admitted he would be a little sore in the morning, but said that he appreciated the fact that the coaches were confident in him. Follow Kansan writer Clark Gobie at twittercom/cgoble89. t "It shows that they it shows that they believe in the abilities I have, and I'm going to show up for them like they show up for me every day," Opurum said. He also showed up a couple of Southern Miss defenders with jarring hits not often seen from a running back. "People mistake that about offense, that we get hit all the time." Opurum said. "You got to deliver a blow too." The opportunity for Opurum to bruise a few more bodies came only with senior running back Jake Sharp relegated to the bench with an injury. Coach Mark Mangino said the trainer told him that he could use Sharp if needed, but there was "risk" involved. So Mangino looked to Opurum early and often. He said he thought Opurum did a "marvelous job" despite increased pressure to run well. However, he said that Sharp was the "No. 1 tailback" and there would be no competition at the position. Reeing said that nothing really changed with only Opurum available in the backfield, but admitted that he and Sharp offered different skill sets: Opurum can bruise in short-yardage situations, but Sharp brings speed on the outside. "I don't want to do that to jake here in his senior year," Mangino said. "He's meant too much to this program." "We have two solid backs," Reesing said. "Get the thunder and lightning back again, which we're going to like." With Jake Sharp set to return for Kansas' game against Iowa State, Reeing said he thought Opurum's experience would only help the team down the road.

The Jayhawks moved from 19th to 16th in the USA Today/Coaches Poll and from 20th to 18 in the Associated Press listings. The Jayhawks were also ranked 16th in the first Harris Interactive College Football Poll, which along with the USA Today poll, is part of the BCS formula. WITH SHARP OUT, OPURUM STEPS UP "It was not in Jake's best interest to play today," coach Mark Mangino said. "The trainer told me that if we needed him, we could play him. But he told me there was risk involved. I don't want to do that to Jake in his senior year." Senior running back Jake Sharp carried the ball just five times last week after suffering an undisclosed injury during practice. With the same injury still bothering him, Sharp dressed but did not play against Southern Miss. on Saturday. Opurum rushed for 109 yards on 28 carries. He had two total touchdowns. Mangino said Opurum's only slipup occurred in the fourth quarter when he fumbled the ball, but Mangino said it didn't overshadow the freshman's performance. Freshman running back Toben Opurum, who played as Sharp's backup in the first two games, stepped into Sharp's place. "A lot of pressure on Toben today," Mangino said. "We down- played it with him all week. He had to go in there and start as a true freshman. It's difficult duty, and he did a marvelous job." INCIDENTS NOT A DISTRACTION After his team's 35-28 victory, Mangino and his players said Kansas wasn't distracted by the incidents between members of the football and basketball teams that dominated headlines in the week leading up to the game. "They work 12 months a year for just 12 games," Mangino said. "Those 12 games on the schedule are just so precious for those guys. And although there are certainly "You can't go out and get over 400 yards of offense and 35 points and play stellar defense in the fourth quarter if you're not into it." REESING IMPRESSED BY SOUTHERN MISS. things we aren't pleased about, it did not affect us in any way. The Jayhawks didn't appear to change that thought after the game. Before the game, senior defensive back Justin Thornton said that coaches told players that Southern Miss, would be a top-three team in the Big 12 North. "I wouldn't be surprised if they were contending for their conference championship," senior quarterback Todd Reesing said Against Southern Miss., Kansas' offense was consistently aided by the play of its special teams, especially the kickoff return unit. FIELD POSITION BATTLE Freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald returned a kickoff 49 yards, and senior safety Darrell Stuckey had a 50-yard return. "Getting out of your backyard, you don't have as much pressure." McDougald said. "When your offense has such a short field, your offense gets encouraged and people have a little bounce in their step."

In trying to find an answer for the root cause of the fights, Perkins resisted withholding emotion. "It's absolute bullshit," he said. Mangino and his players knew they would face questions following their 35-28 victory. They knew questions of the fights and the meeting staged last Wednesday would be peppered between questions of pass defense, Jake Sharp's health and Todd Reesing's temper. For the most part, the message from Mangino and Reeing was consistent with Self's "none of your business" take on how punishments will be handled and the conversations between the two sides. "it's over with; it's done," Reesenlb said. "I don't think we need to talk about it any more." Added junior cornerback Chris Harris, who was one of two football players questioned by police last Wednesday: "We're college students, we're young people, we all going to make mistakes. Everybody's cool, everything's done." For the most part, they're right. When someone you are responsible for does something wrong, it's your business to respond accordingly. But when that something occurs on campus and among fellow students walking between classes, it becomes a public matter. Should such an offense be repeated, the public deserves to be kept abreast of what is known by athletics and be given the option of reading or hearing a transcript on what was said at this hypothetical meeting. Perkins, Mangino, Self and the two teams deserve credit for the honesty and accountability demonstrated in the wake of last week's ordeal. There is little evidence that these offenses are being mishandled. I'm sure the players are well aware of the consequences of a rematch. An in-house offense is your business — an offense that could affect student safety is ours. In not allowing the week's off-field distractions to carry over into Saturday's game, the Jayhawks are now 4-0, have ascended to 18th on the Associated Press Top 25 and prevented us writers from having an unnecessary and counterproductive story angle. Instead we can write about an athletics department presently sporting a black eye but wearing one capable of being healed by increased awareness and further education of the dynamics behind how this conflict came to be. Should that black eye again creep onto campus, however, it becomes our business. Edited by Amanda Thompson Quote of the Game Quarterback Todd Reesing on being called for un-sportsmanlike conduct in the second quarter: "That was a fantastic call. Apparently, after you get tackled and you jump up, you're not allowed to drop the ball on the ground. I guess from now on whenever I get tackled I'm going to make sure I hand the ball to the referee so I don't get any unsportsmanlike penalties." QUOTE OF THE GAME... JEREMY CURTIS Reesing Game Balls 3. Jake Laptad. Laptad wasn't a huge factor in Saturday's game, but he did turn in the defense's biggest play. With Southern Miss facing a third and seven from its own 36, Laptad sacked quarterback Austin Davis for a 10-yard loss that effectively ended the game. 1. Kerry Meier. On the fourth play of the game, Meier hauled in a pass from senior quarterback Todd Reesing and outran a defender for a 62-yard touchdown. Meier had nine catches, including two touchdowns, and finished with a career-high 140 yards receiving. 2. Toben Opurum. Without senior running back Jake Sharp, who didn't play because of an undisclosed injury. Opurum shouldered the majority of Kansas' run game. He carried the ball 28 times for 109 yards and a touchdown. Delay of Games 3. Penalties. Kansas finished with 10 penalties that totaled 62 yards in losses. It didn't hurt the Jayhawks this game, but those mistakes can be costly in Big 12 play. 1. Pass rush. Kansas finished with just one sack and struggled to create a pass rush for three quarters. In turn, Southern Miss' offense looked fluid for much of the game. 2. Offensive line. Reesing was sacked five times and the offense struggled to run the ball in the fourth quarter. That's the time of a game when an offensive line must take over. Play of the Game With Southern Miss attempting to tie the game in the final two minutes, junior Jake Laptad worked his way around the offensive line before dropping quarterback Austin Davis for a devastating 10-yard loss. Sure, the defensive line didn't creature much pressure. But at least the unit has good timing. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... The Jayhawks left Memorial Stadium with a victory, plain and simple. Southern Miss, especially offensively, is a very capable team. Many experts selected Southern Miss as an upset special before the game and for good reason. Kansas should be pleased with the victory, regardless if it was close. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY... For the first three quarters, the defense was shaky. The Jayhawks allowed too many big plays while not creating enough pressure for much of the game. Those same tendencies led to lopsided losses last year against Texas and Texas Tech. The defense has to be more consistent throughout the game. D-LINE DOING ITS JOB? Not really. Laptad made a timely and game-altering sack in the final two minutes. But other than that, the defensive line wasn't a factor in slowing Southern Miss' pass attack. They made plays when it mattered most, but need to be more consistent. BIGGEST ANSWER... Toben Opurum is well worth the hype. In his first three games, Opurum was an effective piece of Kansas' offense. Against Southern Miss, though, Opurum carried the Jayhawks' run game, displaying the ability that led big-name programs to recruit him in high school. STILL QUESTIONING... The unsportsmanlike conduct penalty called on senior quarterback Todd Reesing. Reesing appeared to slightly bump a Southern Miss defender after a play, but it didn't appear to be anything worthy of a 15-yard penalty. After the game, Reesing hinted that he didn't fully understand the reasoning behind the call either. LOOKING AHEAD... Kansas has a bye next week. In his first collegiate start, Opurum was a more than adequate replacement for senior running back Jake Sharp, who didn't play because of an undisclosed injury. Still, Sharp is Kansas' featured back and the week without a game should allow him to fully recover. GOOD. BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Original Prediction: Kansas 38, Southern Miss 24. Actual score: Kansas 35, Southern Mississippi 28. The Golden Eagles were even more talented than expected, especially on the offensive side of the ball. This prediction has mediocre written all over it. FINAL THOUGHT... The Jayhawks only won by seven points, but they never seemed to not be in control of the game. Kansas never trailed and did exactly what it needed to do in order to defeat a talented — and capable — Southern Mississippi team.

Hideki Matsui's go-ahead single in the sixth inning energized the damp fans and put them on notice that a party was coming. The first real celebration at the new Yankee Stadium began with a most familiar scene — Mariano Rivera on the mound, closing out another clinching victory. Catcher Jose Molina leaped up from behind the plate even before Rivera had fielded Jacoby Ellsbury's soft comebacker for the final out. The Yankees swarmed Rivera on the first-base side of the mound while players in the bullpen streamed in. Nick Swisher wasted no time putting on an AL East Champions hat. The crowd responded with a standing ovation as the Yankees began walking off the field, with captain Derek Jeter at the front and several teammates pulling on gray championship T-shirts. The Yankees won their first division title since 2006 and, after missing the playoffs last year, let loose with wild champagne sprays in the locker room. Several players wore goggles to protect against the sting.

SOCCER Jayhawks lose one but bounce back BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Kansas' campaign to win the Big 12 title started on a sour note Friday with a loss to Oklahoma State, but the team rebounded to gain its eighth victory of the season against Oral Roberts University on Sunday. Kansas (8-2-1) began Big 12 play with a 3-0 loss against defending champions Oklahoma State (7-4-0). The Jayhawks desperately wanted revenge for a bitter overtime loss last year, but the Cowgirls proved to be too much for them once again. 10 Oklahoma State scored first when senior Bridget Miller beat two Kansas defenders and put the ball in off the post. The first half ended with a slight edge for the Cowgirls in shots as they tallied six to the Jayhawks' five. It was the first time this season that Kansas had given up the first goal in a game. t In the second half, several defensive miscues contributed to two "We were ready to play, but we just didn't really show it," said freshman midfielder Shelby Williamson. "It took us awhile to get going." Follow Kansan writer Joel Peterson at twitter.com/j_petter. more goals against the Jayhawks. Oklahoma State added its second goal eight minutes into the second half. The Kansas defense misplayed a free kick from midfield and the ball fell to Oklahoma State's Kelsey Langdon, who finished an easy goal. Jerry Wang/KANSAN Senior forward Monica Dolinsky tries to dribble the ball past a South Dakota defender. Dolinsky received a red card before being ejected from the game on Sunday. The Cowgirls completed their scoring in the 76th minute, when Katie Richardson retrieved a goal kick from her own end and slotted the ball into the near side of the goal. "We made those two mistakes and obviously we got punished for them," coach Mark Francis said. Kansas upped the pressure in the second half, putting up 10 shots to finish the game leading 15-13 in shots. But no matter what they did, they couldn't beat the stiff Oklahoma State defense.

Francis said. "A lot of the shots that we took were from a long way out; it wasn't like we got a whole lot in-range that gave us a chance to finish." It was a harsh beginning to conference play for a team that had previously suffered only one narrow loss. "We hadn't had a loss like that this season, so it was kind of a shock for all of us," said Williamson. "We didn't play as well as we should have." However, Francis downplayed the importance of the disappointing result. "It was just the first game; we've got nine conference games left," he said. "I think our loss doesn't affect us badly as far as still having an opportunity to win the conference." The layhawks completed their road trip to Oklahoma with a high-scoring victory against Oral Roberts University (3-5-0). Sophomore Emily Cressy scored her sixth goal of the season just 21 seconds into the game, breaking the team record for quickest goal set last week by junior Rachel Morris with her 23-second goal. Kansas scored again in the 17th minute when Williamson scored her third goal of the season off a cross from Monica Dolinsky. The Golden Eagles responded in the 31st minute with a goal from senior Natalya Manyan, but Kansas finished the half with one more goal from Williamson in the 45th minute to give the Jayhawks a 3-1 advantage at the break. Williamson played all 90 minutes in both games this weekend and had a breakout game on Sunday with her two goals. In the second half, Dolinsky and freshman Sarah Robbins added two more points in the 67th and 90th minutes, while Oral Roberts scored two of their own goals, both on penalty kicks. Dolinsky received a red card and was ejected from the game in the 74th minute after she received two yellow cards for a harsh tackle and her reaction after the play. "Shelby had a really good weekend," Francis said. "It's good to see her getting involved with the attack." "She'll be out, but that just means there'll be an opportunity for someone else to step up," said Francis. "We've had kids do that all year with injuries, so I'm sure someone else will step into that spot and do well on Friday." The red card means Dolinsky, a captain and senior leader, will not be able to play in Kansas' game next Friday against No. 10 Texas A&M.

The open and recreational skill levels have both men's and women's teams. The competitive skill level, however, offers only flag football and has 223 male competitors. According to Matt Beck, Intramurals Coordinator, there is a struggle to get female teams for any of the leagues offered. Because there is already a shortage of women's teams, breaking up the teams into divisions would make intramurals seasons and playoffs extremely short with very few teams involved. Madeline Curry, Spring Hill freshman, plays intramurals sand volleyball. She said she would be interested in joining a more competitive level, depending on the sports offered. "I think it would be a good thing for women at KU to have," Curry said. She also said she thought part of the reason there is no women's competitive skill level was because men tend to always come first in sports. "I think it just dates back from when women weren't allowed to do all of what men were allowed to do," said Curry. "I don't know why, but I definitely think that should change. I think the matter should be looked into. And if any girls want to be on a competitive team, then I highly encourage them to push for that." Samantha Grinsfelder, Dallas sophomore, said she was surprised the University did not offer a women's competitive skill level. Beck said there has really not been a cry for a female competitive division, but if there ever was they would definitely look into putting it into play. "There should be for at least women's or co-ed flag football if they are going to offer that for the men," she said. In the end, the creation of a women's competitive division relies on the number of women who take the initiative to sign up for it. The more women that sign up, the more likely it is that a competitive skill level will be introduced. But for those men who are involved in the competitive skill level, competition has nothing to do with gender. Dallas Mildfelt, Chanute junior, plays in the flag football competitive league and he said its for men who had a good time playing football in high school and look for the competitive edge in sports. "I wouldn't say it has much to do with the skill level," said Mildfelt. "I just think it's more about there's not many girls who play football, and if they do they would probably rather play against girls and not a bunch of guys."

No. 1 Florida, No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Alabama held their places in the media poll released Sunday, but 15 teams moved up or down at least three spots. LSU is up to No. 4 after barely avoiding an upset at Mississippi State on Saturday. No. 5 Boise State is in the top five for the first time in the regular season. No. 6 Virginia Tech, No. 7 Southern California and No. 9 Ohio State are back in the top 10. Cincinnati moved up four spots to No. 10, the best ranking in school history. No. 13 Iowa and No. 16 Oregon both jumped back into the rankings after beating top-10 teams. Georgia Tech also moved back into the rankings. Falling out were Florida State, North Carolina and Washington, which followed its upset of USC with a 34-14 loss at Stanford on Saturday. Florida (4-0) had no problem beating Kentucky, but lost quarterback Tim Tebow to a concussion late in the third quarter of its 41-7 victory. Florida is off this week before playing at LSU on Oct. 10. Florida received 55 firstplace votes. For the second consecutive week the Southeastern Conference has three of the top four teams in the country, with LSU replacing Mississippi.

Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally at East Lake, closing with a 5-under 60 to go Never have they shared the spotlight, each going home with a trophy that was meaningful in its own way. from four shots behind to a three-shot victory, his first since his wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring. "I like the way today went," Mickelson said. "I was two back of him, he beat him by three. He gets the $10 million check, and I get $1 million. I've got no problem with that. I just love holding this finally." Woods made two late birdies, not enough to put any heat on Mickelson, but to secure the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus. It finished a season in which he won six times and was no worse than second in nine of his 17 tournaments.

POLARIZING PROTESTS The Sexuality Education Committee is presenting its annual "Real Person's Guide to Human Sexuality" at 7 p.m. on Mondays at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. "We just wanted to get open, tolerant information out there." Mary Klayder, University Honors lecturer and advisor to the SEC. said. Reanna Putnam, Salina junior and SEC co-president, said the six members of the SEC began planning in May to expand the event from previous years. This year it features 10 topics, which is four more than in years past. "We picked topics we thought were interesting," Lauren Tullis, Carl Junction, Mo., senior and SEC co-president, said. "But there is a lot of information out there that isn't accurate or healthy, so we wanted to get information from educated individuals." Every year, the discussion topics change. Already this year the Guide has featured lecturers speaking about transsexuality, domestic violence and pornography. Still to come are lecturers presenting on intimacy, communication, jealousy, monogamy, dyadic relationships, family influence on sexuality and homophobia. "We try and get a variety of people from the community to come and speak," Putnam said. Putnam said Dr. Dennis Dailey, retired professor of human Putnam said lecturers included professors from the University, an advocate from Women's Transitional Care Services and a therapist who specializes in sexual and marital therapy. Confrontational tactics can lead to heated debates between opposing sides of a protest. Jay Childers, assistant professor of communications studies, said that a willingness to accept other viewpoints can lead to better discussion.

SEE SECON PAGE 3A Rhetoric remains under debate Emotions,reason difficult to balance in protest tactics BY ZACH WHITE white@kansan.com On a balmy September afternoon, Tammy Cooke stood outside Strong Hall, telling passersby about Justice For All, an anti-abortion group for which she is a spokeswoman. Standing beneath an 18-foot wall of graphic images of fetuses, she stressed the organization's value of an "even handed exploration of ideas." "Our goal here today is to get people to come and talk to us about this issue," Cooke said. "We are interested in having respectful and constructive dialogue." But not everyone cooperated. Justice For All surrounded the display with "free speech boards," which were white boards for people to write their reactions. The boards showed a range of reactions to the scene, from "Get the fuck off our campus" to concerns about overpopulation and Pokemon references. Behind Cooke,a student leaned his elbow against the exhibit's barricade as if he were a bar patron waiting for a beer. He scoffed at the exhibit and talked about its reflection on modern debate to two girls who had also walked over to the exhibit. It was sad, he explained to them, how no one could just debate issues any assistant professor of political science who specializes in reproductive policy, such approaches to this subject are nothing new. "We are interested in having respectful and constructive dialogue." debate issues anymore. Everything has to be a show, he said. According to Alesha Doan, TAMMY COOKE Justice For All spokeswoman Doan said protesters have carried on in this vein for about a decade. This is also as long as Justice For All has been operating on college campuses across the country. Doan said she was skeptical of the group's approach. "What they're doing is having a heated moral debate," Doan said. "That's not engendering any larger debate about reproductive policy or why women would be needing abortions, and why that should or should not be an option in society" Jay Childers, assistant professor of communications studies who specializes in political rhetoric, said he thought debates such as these originated long before abortion became an issue. "The argument that gets made a lot right now is that there is a lot of arguing at one another rather than with one another, which is often tied to the increases in SEE DEBATE ON PAGE 3A CAMPUS Fitness center offers new, fee-based locker rental system Sixty lockers will still be available for free BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com The Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center is now offering 40 optional locker rentals to weary of carrying their exercise equipment around.

Associated Press Who's Whoat KU Warren Corman BY SABRINA LIEDTKE sliedtke@kansan.com The Kansan sat down with Warren Corman, the university architect and special assistant to the chancellor, to talk about his time at the University. Corman graduated from the University in 1950 with a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering. How have you seen the University change over the past 60 years? It has changed completely from a few thousand students to almost 30,000 students and the cars, there were very few cars and now it almost seems like everybody has them. You get a permit, which is a hunting license for a parking spot. As the population of students has increased so has the needs for buildings and programs. A lot of the programs were pretty simple back in Kansas 60 years ago. In fact, Stauffer-Flint Hall used to be the shop. And I learned how to weld and do factory work. Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSAN What does it mean to be the university architect? I advise the chancellor on all things relating to building construction or design. We have over $100 million worth of construction going on right now. What is a regular day for you? Mr. I get up at five in the morning and go running for about 30 or 40 minutes. Come to work at about 6:30, come to the office, unlock it, bring in the papers. What is you most memorable experience at the University? Six years ago we dedicated the Dole Institute of Politics and I was in charge of the project. We had to get it done by Bob Dole's 80th birthday, because he was coming Warren Corman, assistant Chancellor of KU, poses in the newly renovated area in front of the original wall of Allen Fieldhouse. Corman, himself a graduate of KU in 1950, is the last surviving architect who designed Allen Fieldhouse. Corman said that he was only 25 when he and other architects began drawing the plans for the building. and we had a three-day celebration and we had about 50,000 people here for the celebration. The army was here and they flew all the living presidents in. Well, you know there's a lake around the building. Well, the day before the celebration, it had a lot of construction debris in it. It was in July and it was a hot day, so I left, I went home and got my swimsuit on. I got a fork stick and I put a nail in it, got a big trash bag and I waded that lake all day long picking up trash. The chancellor drove by and yelled at me "What are you doing out there playing in the water?" So he always tells people I was playing in the water but I got it all cleaned up! Designing buildings that people like and love and use, and they're worthwhile and practical. What inspires you? I helped design Allen Fieldhouse in the '50s. I'm the only one still living who worked on it. In 1952 we designed it and we dedicated it in 1955. We didn't think that much of it then, but now it has such a tradition of basketball with Naismith, Dean Smith, Roy Williams and Wilt Chamberlain. That's probably one of the things I'm most proud of. Now we're adding on to it, and the chancellor said "if you ruin the looks of it, I'm going to bury you out there." We're not messing with the seating bowl, but we're making more stairs. What has been your most proud accomplishment? Do you have any secret hobbies? I like working in the yard. I grew up on a farm. What made you want to be an architect? My dad was an architect. What is your favorite quote? "It is not the strongest that survive, nor the most intelligent, it's the one that's most adaptable to change." Every time we want to do something, the old folks say you're changing it, it's not the way it was.

NEWS THE UNIVERSITY JANRY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2009 3A DEBATE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) partisanship in the past 20 years.” Childers said. “I don't know that it's particularly valid. People have argued poorly ever since they've been arguing, especially in politics. After that first moment of the founding fathers, everything else sort of devolves into political preemption." In the 1820s, a representative from Buncombe County, N.C., named Felix Walker attempted to give a speech so inane that "Buncombe," or "bunk" for short, became propaganda." "We have to find a way to acknowledge that our beliefs are our beliefs..." synonymous with nonsense. Today the media catches flak for focusing on the bunk, or the loudest of voices on issues. Childers said he recognized the desire people had for an evenhanded exploration of ideas, but said he also saw how successful the media that focused on the largest commotion were. The Fox News program "The O'Reilly Factor," which often features heated debate, was the most viewed cable television show in 2008, according to mediabistro.com. JAY CHILDERS Assistant professor of overheated debate, as Childers explained, is a movement known as deliberative democracy, a term originally conceived in 1980 by Joseph Bessette. It is an attempt to remove all emotion from debate and to rely entirely on reason and logic. Childers said he "The American people always say that they don't want to hear any more of this, that they want real people sitting down to argue and debate," Childers said. "But those shows do so poorly in the ratings. And then you've got Olbermann and O'Reilly making millions of dollars. Who's going to win that fight in a business?" One response to the problem wasn't sold on this tactic either. "Cognitive scientists have begun showing repeatedly that we think with emotion," he said. "So to take emotion and passion out of our reasoning brings into question son. We need passion." The key, Childers said, is to balance the influence of the heart and the mind. He said the ability to listen to another side with understanding was equally important. "We have to find a way to acknowledge that our beliefs are our beliefs and that we live in a pluralistic society and that willing to accept others' arguments," Childers said. "If you're going to make an argument I think it should be a little less polarizing." attendees of this summer's volatile town hall meetings around the nation. When groups feel their voices aren't being heard, they resort to more confrontation strategies, Scott Harris, assistant specialist in communications studies and the coach of the KU debate team, said. Harris said the same kind of strategies were also used by PATRICK KENNEDY Leawood sophomore "Generally confrontational strategies are ones that are limited for those situations where there are no other options — where no one else will hear your voice," Harris said. "Frequently it's the inability to make an effective argument that makes people resort to shouting and screaming," Harris said. "Either people can't express themselves or others won't listen." The town hall meetings were misuses of confrontational rhetoric, he said. Patrick Kennedy, Leawood sophomore and member of the debate team, said he saw flaws in Justice For All's method. "It's a little graphic," Kennedy said. "I don't think it's a very effective long-term persuasive strategy. If you're going to make an argument I think it should be a little less polarizing. Tammy Cooke said the posters were not deliberately polarizing. She said the displays were large so that people could see them from far away and so that the fetuses were magnified to a noticeable level. Once people saw the pictures and came to the display, Cooke said, Justice For All was willing to listen. And all they wanted was the same willingness.

Most states have some form of mandatory rape reporting laws, and many human rights organizations have questioned the constitutionality of this type of legislation. 2007, certain professionals must file a report if there is "reason to suspect that a child has been harmed" by any type abuse, including sexual assault. Kansas has similar laws for elders, making it mandatory that all types of professionals, from bankers to dentists, report instances of abuse that they may be aware of. However, there are no state laws requiring professionals to report instances of rape if the victim is competent and does not want to file a report. According to the Kansas Code for Care of Children, revised in California is the only state that requires medical personnel and other professionals to report all they know regarding the suspected rape of a competent adult, according to a report from the American Prosecutors Research Institute. Massachusetts is similar in that it requires professionals to report these type of suspected incidents, but the state does not use the information to prosecute suspects and never asks for personal information about the victim. Jelani Exum, associate professor of law, will also speak at the event, which was organized by the KU chapter of The Federalist Society. It begins at 12:30 p.m. in 104 Green Hall and is free and open to the public. Brandon Sayers LOCKERS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) and that she wouldn't pay for one. Black said students should have the option of free lockers, but also said she understood how it could be an alternative way for the recreation center to make money. Chappell said the money made from these rental charges would be used to maintain the locker rooms, including paying for locks. Students using free lockers have always had to bring their own locks or to go without, but the recreation center provides locks to students who rent lockers. "One of the goals, too, that we hoped to do was that it would keep people from taking their items upstairs and leaving them in all different places," Chappell said. The recreation center has a total of 100 lockers — 50 in the men's locker room and 50 in the women's locker room. Twenty lockers in each locker room are now reserved for renting. Of the 40 lockers,31 are currently rented out.Nine lockers are still available in the women's locker room. Edited by Jacob Musemann INTERNATIONAL Bees attack those involved in car crash ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey — A van carrying beehives crashed into a truck on Monday, and huge swarms of bees broke free and stung the injured and rescue workers at the scene. In the end, about 20 people were taken to hospitals, six of them injured in the crash and the rest rescue workers who were stung by the bees, said the state-run Anatolia news agency. One of the crash victims later died, but it was not immediately known if he had been killed by the impact of the accident or the insect attacks, said local Gov. Ahmet Aliparmak. The rescue workers — including local beekeepers summoned to the scene — used hoses, blankets and rags to try to ward off the bees. But it took about an hour for them to remove the crash victims from the chaotic scene, Anatolia said. The van hit the stationary truck on a road near the Mediterranean resort of Marmaris in southwestern Turkey, injuring four people in the van and two in the truck, Anatolia said. The impact burst open the bee hives in the van. The bees swarmed over the injured and police, medics and firefighters who responded to the accident, forcing authorities to seek the help of about 50 beekeepers in the area. As the crash victims waited for help, bees swarmed over them, Anatolia said. The news agency's video footage showed men in beekeeping clothing placing an injured man also in protective gear onto a stretcher in a swarm of bees and broken beehives, and carrying him down a hillside. Another person was seen hosting down the area to keep the bees away. Anatolia showed rescuers in orange-colored overalls inside a vehicle, trying to kill the bees by squashing them against windows, using a blanket and rags.

EDITORIAL BOARD Students should take steps to increase safety With the recent attacks on and around campus, including the reported rape in Oliver Hall, students need to realize that bad things can, in fact, happen to them. A common ground between being fearful and carefree needs to be established to help prevent future occurrences. Students need to be aware of the precautions they can take to protect themselves against attack and theft. Here are four steps to take in the right direction: 1. BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU Captain Schuyler D. Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that situational awareness is key in preventing an attack. Students need to be aware of what's going on around Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said that another important aspect students need to be aware of, both in the residence halls and off campus, is what their home and its surroundings normally looks like. This allows students to be able to tell if something looks off or different. feeling. This is normally because they thought they were making a big deal out of nothing or were too embarrassed to say anything in front of their friends. When students ignore those feelings they are ignoring a physical warning their body is giving them. Don't be afraid to speak up. 2. TRUST YOUR INTUITION Rose-Mocky said attack victims have told her that something felt off but they didn't act upon that 3. CONTROL HOW ACCESSIBLE YOU ARE People are too willing to give out personal information, Rose-Mockry said. Students should check their Facebook security settings, for one. Bailey said that students not only need to lock their doors, they also need to use peeholes. "None of this stuff will keep you safe if you don't use them." Bailey said. KANSAN'S OPINION when leaving briefly, but that after the reported rape that occurred in Oliver Hall Sept. 20, she locks it every time she leaves. Alexa Poore, an Augusta freshman who lives in Oliver Hall, said that she used to leave her door unlocked Walking alone at night should be avoided, but if a student has no other option, Bailey said students should walk with a purpose so they don't look like an easy target. 4. BE PROACTIVE IF YOU'RE IN A BAD SITUATION Rose-Mockry also said if attacked, students should shout instead of scream because shouting is much louder. She also says that if a student thinks someone is following them, to cross the street to create distance. The reported incident that occurred at Oliver Hall last week should tell the Department of Student Housing that they need to take more precautions along with students. Exploring more safety options, such as installing entrance cameras, should be considered because the student ID system has flaws. Students need to be responsible for their safety and be proactive in protecting themselves. Being aware of your surroundings and following these safety tips are constructive ways to help work toward preventing future attacks. — Kate Larrabee for The Kansan Editorial Board SIGN UP FOR A SELF-DEFENSE CLASS **WHO:** All students are welcome **WHAT:** Self-defense class by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center **WHEN:** Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. **WHERE:** The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center **WHY:** Another way to increase empowerment and safety EDITORIAL CARTOON CLIMATE CHANGE IN A LAND DOWN UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE IN A LAND DOWN UNDER DUSTSTORMS SWEEPING FARMERS' TOPSOIL...

Teachers were given a lot of leeway in deciding what constituted "distracting" apparel, and as a result, dressing for the day was like playing Russian Roulette. Some kids got away with neon rainbow hair and others were told they had to remove their black lipstick because it was a costume. On any given day at the University of Kansas, I'll pass people with piercings, handmade patch-work skirts and even fox tails. It's liberating to be able to focus on school work rather than conforming, but will we have this same freedom after college? My little brother is now dealing with it, and he constantly reminds me how lucky we are to be able to control our own appearances. The business, hospitality and engineering schools all had their career fairs this month. Coupled with the University's regular etiquette dinners and on-campus interviews, they're supposed to help transition us to the professional world. But all these services promote only the mainstream image of formality. Such exclusivity just isn't realistic in the modern workplace. For example, mainstream formal etiquette says that wearing a hat COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES MELISSA LYTTON YTTON indoors is rude. But it's acceptable for Islamic women to wear their head coverings in the workplace. Religion is recognized as more important than dress codes. But what about people who don't have a religion? Are their personal convictions not important enough? As long as they abide by public nudity laws, they should be allowed to wear what best represents their beliefs, too. If you still don't think dress codes are outdated, consider the sexism involved in many businesses' dress codes. I've had several friends who were required to wear make-up, in company-approved colors, to work. Talk about promoting self-image issues. I understand the function of standard uniforms; people need to be able to tell the difference between employees and customers. But in traditional business settings, where there are very few meetings without introductions, name-tags can serve the same use. And if exceptions are going to be made for one, it's difficult to justify keeping others suppressed. The alternative is complete conformity, and there have already been enough debates regarding religious jewelry to prove that just won't cut it. Luckily, some professionals have started to offer alternatives. Eidolon Career Solutions offers career advice for alternative professionals, including branding, resume building and interview techniques. Their motto, "Be evaluated on your performance, not on your lifestyle," is what I've been trying to achieve in my own career. Diversity in the workplace doesn't just mean people will be different races, religion, or sexualities. Our unique personalities and viewpoints are what make professional collaborations worthwhile in the first place, and they should be respected in all their manifestations. The University prides itself in preparing its students for the professional world. It plays host to multi-cultural events, has an extensive international transfer program and generally tries to expose its students to the diversity of the world economy. But there are so many sub-cultures being ignored. Lytton is a Kodiak, Ala., senior in creative writing. SERVICE Forgotten Katrina victims still in need of assistance More than four years have passed since disastrous Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, and the images of demolished buildings and homeless families have faded from our memories. But the nightmares are still a reality for the more than 14,000 families in New Orleans still living off Disaster Housing Assistance Program vouchers and the countless internally displaced persons. Unfortunately for those 14,000 families, the DHAP vouchers expire this month. According to Amnesty International, the government estimates that about half of those families could be eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers, allowing them to live in Section 8 Housing. But what options remain for the families who do not qualify for Section 8 Housing? "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services," according to Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If more than 7,000 families lose their homes, the U.S. would be failing to uphold this clause. Now is not the time to place disaster relief in New Orleans on the back burner, but it seems that many Americans have pushed it to the back of their minds and consider it old news. "I think it's definitely not on everyone's minds anymore just because the shock value is gone now," Hannah Nusz, co-director of the Alternative Breaks program, said. The program directors have decided to send a group of students to help clean up and build housing in New Orleans this winter break. HUMAN TO HUMAN KELLY COSBY Alternative Breaks has gone to New Orleans in the past but had no programs there last year. This year, Nusz said the program felt as if something was missing. "When you're rebuilding communities, rebuilding homes and peoples' lives, that takes time," Nusz said. "It's definitely not something that just happens in a few months." Nusz is completely right. The current quagmire that will leave many Katrina victims without housing is proof that reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts in New Orleans are not yet finished. If only there were other forms of assistance that victims could turn to when federal aid runs out. Groups such as the American Red Cross, Oxfam America, Louisiana Disaster Recovery and the NAACP Disaster Fund have helped since the hurricane hit. At least one of these organizations, Louisiana Disaster Recovery, is still offering support, but the thousands of families who risk losing their homes at the end of this month need a larger relief effort. Alternative Breaks does more than assist Katrina victims; it also provides a new perspective for the students involved. If more organizations still showed the interest Alternative Breaks is investing in the problem, New Orleans could make great strides forward.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR No exceptions for intersex athletes Lauren Bornstein's column entitled "Intersex athletes face unfair rules" left me speechless. I simply could not believe what I was reading. Personally, I don't feel Caster Semenya was treated wrong or unfairly. I think the International Association of Athletics Federation had every right to, and should have, made Semenya take a gender test. 1 completely agree with you regarding her being called a hermaphrodite; that is totally false and an extremely ignorant thing to say. I did a little research of my own, and found out that Semenya has internal testes, which we all know to be male genitalia. She lacks a womb and ovaries and has a testosterone level more than three times that of a normal woman. You say that other people are deciding her gender for her, but all the results seem to point to her being a male. The issue, as a whole, I have no problem with. If she thinks she's a woman then so be it; it's none of my business. The problem begins when she tries to compete in a woman's sport with a body that is technically male. That is unfair to all of her competitors, who you claim to be exhibiting "poor sportsmanship." They have every right to be upset if they are competing in a woman's sport against male athletes. No male would ever be allowed to compete in a woman's sport — why should it matter what sex he thinks he is? Semenya is an excellent athlete, but she should be competing with athletes of the same sex. You say that forcing Semenya and other female athletes to prove their sex shouldn't be done, but that's exactly what needs to be done. Competing in a woman's sport, all participants should be female. I referred to Semenya as a "she" out of respect, because that is what she believes she is. Chris L. Brown is a sophomore from Fort Scott.

It was windy. It was what the team wanted. "When you're playing on your own home course that's exactly what you want," coach Kit Grove said. "You want the course to play as tough as possible." Although the bad weather was perfect for the Jayhawks, they said they were not where they wanted to be after the first two rounds at the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Monday. The team's goal at the beginning of the tournament was to win, but after 36 holes and with only 18 left to play, the Jayhawks are in third place. Kansas is five strokes behind second-place Oklahoma and seven strokes behind first-place Missouri. "It was a disappointing first day for us," Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior Nate Baree said. "If we have a good day tomorrow, though, we can come back and win it." Barbee shot one of the best rounds of the day, a 69 in round two, but said he was still disappointed. Barbee's dad walked over as Barbee was looking at the scoreboard to tell him that he was in second place individually and Barbee said, "I know, but I'm more worried about the team's score." Barbee is one stroke back going into the final round tomorrow, and he will be paired with the overall leader. "I would love to have him win it all." Grove said. "If he can stay in the hunt all the way until the last few holes, he has a great shot." Bryan Hackenberg, Denver, Colo., senior, shot a 74 and a 76, helping lead the team. The play of Alex Gutesha, Greenwood Village, Colo., freshman, and Jeff Bell, Wichita freshman, was where the team took some hits. Bell is the reigning club champion at Alvamar and shot a 73 to start, but he shot an 81 in the second round. "Jeff played really well this morning, but you never want to have to count an 81 as one of your four scores, but we had to and we'll have to live with it," Grove said. Gutesha shot an 80 in the first round and an 86 in the second round. Gutesha shot rounds below par in each of the first two tournaments, but he was unable to do so in the first two rounds at Alvamar on Monday. The Jayhawks tee off at 8:30 a.m. today and are still in the hunt with 18 holes to go. "Alex has great firepower and we need him to show it tomorrow if we're going to win this. He just needs to eat something different tomorrow for breakfast than he did this morning." Grove said. "We let it slip away from us a little bit, but we're not too far behind," assistant coach John Handrigan said. "We're still within striking distance." GOLF Edited by Nick Gerik Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Freshman Alex Gutesha chips the ball onto the green during the Kansas Invitational at the Alamogar Golf Course. The Kansas invitational is a two-day event and began Monday. suddenly fell silent after three weeks of impressive performances. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 10A) "They did that hurry up offense a lot and in the fourth quarter they weren't doing it so much," junior linebacker Drew Dudley said. "Not only that, but we got more used to their hurry up offense. We had more time to set up so everyone knew their responsibility." Junior defensive end Jake Laptad, who had Kansas' only sack, said. "He was getting rid of the ball really quick. I was getting frustrated with not being able to get back there and get him down. And the whole d-line wasn't getting one." Still, the Jayhawks expressed a sense of optimism with their defensive performance against the Golden Eagles. Mangino and his players noted their shortcomings on the defensive side after the game. They said there was plenty of room for improvement and that the unit as a whole was still progressing each week. "You can't stop every offense every time," junior cornerback Chris Harris said. "Fourth quarter, man, it's time to win. We had to win that game." OFFENSIVE LINE PLAY NOT DISCOURAGING Much of the post-game attention turned to Kansas' offensive line, a group that played well for the season's first three games. Against Southern Miss, the offensive line allowed five sacks. But Mangino insisted that the Golden Eagles' defensive schemes — not a poor performance from the line — were to blame for the pressure on senior quarterback Todd Reesing. "They took some shots on some blitzes." Mangino said. With three new starters — and with returning starter Jeremiah Hatch moving from tackle to center this season — the offensive line entered as an area of concern before Kansas' first game. So far this season, though. Mangino has continually said that the line has played well, while continuing to improve with more game experience. KICKOFF TIME SET FOR IOWA STATE The Jayhawks don't play this Saturday because of a bye week, but Iowa State will play Kansas State this Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. On Monday, it was announced that Kansas' Big 12 conference opener against Iowa State on Oct. 10 will kickoff at 11:30 a.m. The contest, which is Kansas' homecoming game, will be televised on Versus. Iowa State is 3-1 this season. Last year, in their Big 12 opener, the Jayhawks trailed the Cyclones by 20 at halftime before putting together the third-largest comeback in school history for a 35-33 victory. This marks the third consecutive pre-neon kickoff for Kansas this season.

Danks' first career complete game gave Chicago its third victory in four games following a stretch of seven losses in eight games. Cleveland came in one-half game ahead of lastplace Kansas City in the AL Central after sweeping a three-game series from Baltimore. The Indians, trying to avoid a last-place finish for the first time since going a franchise-worst 75-101 in 1991, are 6-20 in September. A year ago, they went 32-17 down the stretch to finish at .500 — giving hope to Cleveland fans that the Indians could return to contention after winning the division in 2007. Danks (13-10) allowed three hits and one run, striking out seven in his first complete game at any level since being drafted in 2003 by Texas. Shin-Soo Choo hit his 19th homer leading off the seventh to break up the left-hander's bid for his first career shutout. SCOOTER'S COFFEEHOUSE How would you like your drink? Hot?

Hot Iced Blended @ScootersLawrenc 26 Dallas Cowboys running back back Felix Jones (28) sprints away from Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers (90) and comeback Richard Marshall (31) in the second half for a long run on Augustin in Arlington. The Cowboys outpace 21-7. NFL Cowboys defense shuts down Panthers ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Texas — Terence Newman dived into the end zone, threw the ball into the air and exhaled. The Dallas Cowboys were headed to victory and their maligned defense was the main reason for it. Newman returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown with 5:07 left, cracking open a tight game and sending the Cowboys to a 21-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. ASSOCIATED PRESS Dallas (2-1) came into this game without a takeaway or a sack, the latter number an especially sorry stat for last year's NFL leaders. But the Cowboys harassed Jake Delhomme into three sacks, two interceptions and a fumble — and, most importantly, forced him and the Panthers (0-3) into four straight three-and-outs to start the second half. Two sacks and the fumble came on Carolina's final drive. Tony Romo moved the ball well all night, but struggled to turn deep drives into points. Teammates mobbed him in celebration while a loud crowd of 90.588 savored the likelihood of the Cowboys' first victory in their new $1.15 billion home, a week after a last-second loss to the New York Giants. 1 2 3 4 5 Dallas was leading only 13-7 when Newman picked off a ball intended for Steve Smith and zipped toward the right corner of the end zone, hurting in as he was caught from behind. "You're always frustrated and disappointed when you don't play to what you feel like you're capable of. That was me last week," Romo said. "There's a lot of adversity you have to go through at different times, and if you keep plugging away, playing hard and just Romo bounced back from an ugly three-interception outing by playing very carefully. He was 22 of 33 for 255 yards with no touchdowns — but also no turnovers. He didn't throw deep, too often and rarely into traffic. He had a chance to give Dallas a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but missed on short lobs into the end zone to Roy Williams and Martellus Bennett, which gave Carolina hope. Delhomme blew it with the interception to Newman on the ensuing possession, and now his season and Carolina's are going to face some heavy scruaty. to try to get better, it'll come out the right way. ... This week was all about trying to execute better so we could come out and get a win" The Panthers have gone from 12-4 division champs to their worst start since 1998, when they started 0-7. Delhomme has 15 turnovers in his past 16 quarters, and Carolina is going into a bye week, meaning more time to stew over it all. Delhomme's numbers weren't terrible: 22 of 33 for 220 yards. But his six second-half drives ended with four punts, an interception and a fumble. Cowboys running back Marion Barber sat out with a thigh problem, and second-year backs Felix Jones and Tashard Choice picked up the slack. Jay Rattliff had Dallas' first sack and Mike Jenkins had the first pickoff. Rookie Victor Butler had the last two sacks, both on Carolina's final drive, and he forced the fumble on the final one. Jones had plays of 16, 18 and 20 yards on the first two drives, but Dallas didn't have any points to show for it. He finished with 94 yards on only eight carries, and another 20 yards on a pass. He left with a knee injury in the third quarter, leaving Choice to handle the load. He finished with 82 yards on 18 carries, including a touchdown. Dallas' Nick Folk ended a streak of 16 straight field goals by missing a 40-yarder on the opening drive. He made a 24-yarder at the start of the second half, then Choice scored on a 5-yard run to put the Cowboys up 10-7 on their next drive. Folk made a 19-yarder to nudge the lead to 13-7 after the incompletions to Williams and Bennett. Carolina went ahead 7-0 with a 90-yard drive just before halftime. Delhomme completed three passes for 58 yards to Dante Rosario, who caught three passes for 31 yards in the first two games. Rosario scored on a 25-yard reception. Jason Witten caught nine passes for 77 yards, and Roy Williams caught four for 75.

MLB Cy Young Award buzz still surrounds Greinke KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As much as Zack Greinke wants it to, all this Cy Young talk isn't going to go away. Entering the final week of the season, Kansas City's reticent ace has put himself in position to become the Royals' first Cy Young Award winner since David Cone in 1994. Greinke dropped his majors- best ERA to 2.06 while winning his 16th game Sunday against the Twins, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the third inning of the 4-1 victory. The right-hander leads the majors with three shutouts, is second in the AL with 229 strikeouts and has allowed one run or less in 17 of 32 starts. And he's done it with some of the worst run support in the league. But as the Cy Young buzz builds, Greinke has shied away from the attention, calling it "annoying." NFL Jaguars replace former defensive line starters JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed defensive end Bryan Smith off St. Louis' practice squad and waived cornerback Kenned Cox and defensive end Jeremy Navarre. Cox, signed in December, played in five games for Jacksonville, including two this season. Navarre started the season on the practice squad and was activated to the 53-man roster two weeks ago. Smith, a third-round draft pick by Philadelphia in 2008, was inactive for every game last season. He signed with the Rams after the Eagles waived him following the preseason. The Jaguars have been looking for help along the defensive line after losing former starters Rob Meier and Reggie Hayward for the season. McDaniels, team ignore criticism, stay positive ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — If you're listening for Josh McDaniels to say, "I told you so," keep waiting. The Denver Broncos and their new coach answered their critics with a 3-0 start, but they're not crowing about it. McDaniels is disregarding all the accolades coming his team's way. It's the same approach he took in the offseason when he brushed off criticism that he was an arrogant, baby-faced know-it-all who didn't know what he was doing by chasing off Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler. Associated Press Facebook statuses translated MORNING BREW K Kansas sports has spent an inordinate amount of time in the headlines this past week. I don't think I need to tell you why. But despite the rampant coverage, people still have questions. "How could this have been pre-empted?" they ask. "Surely there must have been signs we missed." Indeed, there were signs. Most notably, Tyshawn Taylor's Facebook statuses ought to have served as red flags. Unfortunately, not many are fluent in "G" around these parts. But, as a noted connoisseur of the thug life, "G" is a language with which I am quite familiar. So, I've devoted this past week to translating Taylor's statuses, so the picture might become more clear to everyone else. Taylor: keep my name out ya' mouth for you get smacked in it BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Translation: In my actions, I am a consistent gentleman. Thus you can be assured that I always act with integrity. Translation: Do not speak ill of me, sir. Should you fail to comply, I will be forced to respond with violence. Taylor: n*****s be muggin me .. you know I'm muggin back Taylor: never get outta character .. I'm always a G about it Translation: It has often been said that violence does no more than breed further violence. I must confess that I find truth in that. For, having been assailed, I After these posts, Taylor proceeded to injure himself in a fight. Following his release from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Taylor explained matters. responded in kind. Translation: Whoseever calls himself a man must occasionally take action to prove said point. This is a simple matter, and not to be questioned. Taylor: real n*****s do real things .. point plankn Taylor: I got a dislocated finger ... from throwing a punch ... so don't let the news paper gas yall up ate Translation: A recent Gallup Poll found that only 36 percent of adults find media outlets to be trustworthy. Cynical though that may sound, I too believe that media ought not be trusted implicitly. And so, lest any newspapers attempt to portray things otherwise, I should like to clearly state the circumstances under which I dislocated my finger. That is, by striking another man with my fist. THE MORNING BREW Having now shed light on these previously dark areas, it is my sincere hope that Kansas Athletics can move forward and — through both the passage of time and the taking of proper actions — reclaim its "G" status. —Edited by Megan Morriss NFL Chiefs have yet to bring in a win this season 94 JOHN MARSHALL KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The defense is still a clunker, the next breakdown just around the corner. The offensive line, in disarray. Wins? Nope, not yet. Associated Press Philadelphia Eagles defensive ends, clockwise from lower left, Trent Cole, Darren Howard and Chris Clemons跑 Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel in the second quarter of a game in Philadelphia. The Chiefs are working to round up the team's record. For a team that underwent an offseason overhaul, the Kansas City Chiefs sure look a whole lot like year's run-down version. And it doesn't get any easier: Up next are the 3-0 New York Giants, with Dallas after that. ASSOCIATED PRESS "It's pretty clear that our margin for error isn't real great at this time," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said Monday. "We must, as a team and coaching staff, really do everything right, all the little things included." This turnaround was never going to be easy. A team that won two games one year doesn't win the Super Bowl the next. Haley and new general manager Scott Pioli have done their best to shake things up, bringing in new players, new schemes and a no-nonsense attitude. So far, it hasn't amounted to a win. Three games into the season, the Chiefs are still generating more questions than answers. The defense has been porous and sporadic. The offense is ineffective and, at times, ultraconservative. Penalties, a point of emphasis for Haley in the preseason, have become a problem. Kansas City also had 10 penalties for 90 yards, including a holding call that wiped Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

"We're not in a sense of panic right now," receiver Mark Bradley said. "We have a sense of urgency to try to get things turned around and put some W's in the column." The Chiefs' offense seemed to be stuck in neutral, generating one scoring drive in the first half and plenty of 2-yard runs in the second. A week ago against Oakland, Kansas City at least had a chance. The Chiefs outgained the Raiders 409-166, but lost 13-10 in the closing seconds. Those seem to be getting hard to come by. Playing without quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia had no trouble rolling over the Chiefs, scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter and finishing with 420 total yards. The Eagles didn't even need Michael Vick to beat Kansas City; he had one run for seven yards and two incompletions in his first game in nearly three years. They didn't put up much of a fight against the Eagles. out a touchdown run by Jamaal Charles. That's 19 games in two games for a team that spent the entire preseason listening to the coaches harp on not having penalties. "We cannot have 9-10 penalties in a game. We just can't do it," Haley said. "We have to coach them and make them more aware than we have to this point." Offense is another pressing issue. The line still seems to be in chaos after multiple rejiggerings and the quarterbacks have paid for it, spending most of the first three games running for their lives. Brodie Croyle was sacked To a certain extent, Haley knows what he's got, at least from a talent standpoint. He knows his team's limitations, understands his personnel may not match up with Baltimore or Philadelphia, teams that reached the conference championship games last season. The running game has been affected, too. Kansas City had three yards rushing in the first half against the Eagles, frustrating Haley to the point that he went almost exclusively to the ground in the second — even with his team trailing by 17. — to benefit this team going forward, to establish our mindset and kind of lay it out there, see who's got what. So while Haley and Pioli continue to search for new players they might be able to add, they realize the truth about their team that it has play nearly perfect to have a chance to win. three times in the opener, Matt Cassel five times in two games since returning from a knee injury. Nearly every pass comes off the back foot or with a hand in their face. "In no way was it a wave the white flag (situation)," Haley said.

GOLF | 6A PAGE 10A THE FAMILY THAT SWIMS TOGETHER... Twins take to the pool KU swimmers Alyssa and Brittany Potter continue to impress and improve BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com At 8 years old, twin sisters Alysa and Brittany Potter faced a daunting decision. Their parents told them they could choose to either continue their up-and-coming ballet careers or begin their swimming careers. The twins chose to nix the tutus and sport swimmsuits and goggles instead. It was a choice that led all the way to swimming for the jayhawks, whose season begins with an intrasquad meet Oct. 9. With the days of dance in their rear view mirror, the twins began to develop their swimming skills. Although both eventually warmed up to to the water, Alyssa suffered through more early struggles. "Probably one of the best decisions we ever made," Bentonville, Ark. junior swimmer Brittany said. U Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/andrew_taylor11 "When we were younger they actually said that Brittany had talent and I was going to have to work at it," Alyssa said. Over time, though, they began to view the competition as a means to better themselves both in the pool and out of the pool, instead of getting upset. After about a year of witnessing Brittany bring home first place medals, Alyssa began to match her sister's swimming pace and eventually beat her. This early competition began to drive the two apart. "When she started beating me, I thought it wasn't fun anymore," Brittany said. That attitude has carried over to their careers at Kansas where "They have a very unique sibling rivalry. It's very positive, very supportive," coach Clark Campbell said. Alyssa and Brittany have one common event, the 200-yard butterfly. In this, as well as their individual events, they continue to push each other as well as many of the other members on the team. Alyssa competes in the butterfly and long distance events and Brittany competes in the butterfly and short distance events. Campbell has had the opportunity to coach several sets of twins throughout his coaching career. He said that Alysia and Brittany were unique in that they had the ability to hunker down and get the job at hand done, but after it's over move forward without carrying any hurt feelings over. "I do like swimming against our teammates and seeing that "At first everyone was like we are never going to remember you. And people would just say, 'Hey Potter!' or something like that," Alysa said. Those teammates, especially the newcomers, aren't always able to tell the identical twins apart just by looking at them. they're doing well," Brittany said. There are small visual clues that are useful in identifying the two. Unlike Brittany, Alyssa has a freckle on her nose and is a little bit taller than her sister. Brittany also has a small freckle in the middle of her forehead. These minute indications are barely noticeable with just a quick glance. "If you ask any one of them, you get to know us for a month and people say we look nothing alike," Alyssa said referring to her teammates. As Brittany and Alyssa enter their junior year, they now have an expanded leadership role as upperclassmen. By all accounts the Potter twins have performed this new responsibility admirably. "They lead by example in the pool," junior swimmer and team captain Joy Bunting said. "They always come to practice willing to work hard." Campbell echoed this sentiment, but also said that they had improved their vocal leadership skills as well. "Now that they're older they're not afraid to get on to someone who's maybe slacking a little bit," Campbell said. As Alyssa and Brittany continue their swimming careers, their personalities will continue to impact those around them. "They have a real passion for people," Bunting said. "They tell stories and interact, and do that in their own way."

Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ Jayson Jenks Sure, the lajayhawks slowed the Golden Eagles' potent run attack led by Damion Fletcher, who has rushed for more than 4,500 career yards. Other than that, though, Kansas had little to boast about, at least for the opening 45 minutes. t After the game, players talked about a hard-to-describe toughness possessed by this year's defense. They said it was something that wasn't always present on last year's team. Mangino said that despite the less-than-effective showing early, Kansas' defensive performance as a whole was viewed as a positive. "Our defense is maturing," Mangino said. "I thought we took Ryan Waggoner/KANSAl Operating out of a hurry-up spread offense, Southern Miss' passing game sliced through Kansas' defense, while piling up big-yardage plays. 12 59 Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns. He was only sacked once by Kansas' defensive line, which never really generated a consistent pass rush. a big step in maturing.

ESPN should focus on positives BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com I have a bone to pick with ESPN about its coverage of sports teams scattered between Los Angeles and Boston — it doesn't cover anything. The first time I watched something about Kansas on ESPN this season was the day after the fights last week. I happened to see Kansas on the list of upcoming topics for debate on the show "Pardon the Interruption" as the news of the fights on campus spread like a rash, and all the two talking heads discussed was the immaturity of some of our players. Great job, guys. You were fighting over the attention of some girl when the only real attention you attracted was that of the ESPN paparazzi. That is all ESPN has become; paparazzi of the big men on campus. But the campus in this case is the U.S. and the big men are USC, Miami, Texas and Florida. I What the guys on "Pardon the Interruption" failed to mention is that Kansas is off to another 4-0 start, that senior quarterback Todd Reesing is posting numbers just shy of the likes of Colt McCoy, a front runner for the Heisman. Reesing has attempted 143 passes and completed 96 of them for 1,137 yards. McCoy, on the other hand, has attempted 145 passes and completed 103 of them for just eight more yards than Reesing, with 1,145 yards. Both of them have thrown nine touchdowns this season. Many top-ranked teams are making headlines with their freshmen and their ability to perform at the high level of Division I football straight out of high school. USC has Matt Barkley, Michigan has Tate Forcier and Kansas has Toben Opurum and Bradley McDougall. But despite its future looking brighter than Big Jay's beak, nobody in the country knows except for the Kansas fans. This is not just happen to us, though. Boise State has now climbed to the No. 5 team in the AP Poll, but I doubt we'll see another story about the Broncos until they get upset somehow or when it's late enough in the season to bring up the annual BCS debate. So ESPN, let's see some love for the positive stories coming out of Kansas. The Jayhawks don't just fight here — they win. Roc sin It is, however, for USC. Yet the Trojans go into Washington and lose. The top stories have all been about the upsets this season. Already, six of the top 10 teams have been upset by lower ranked teams and subsequently received all of the air time. But what about the teams that are doing what they're supposed to be doing — winning? But ESPN could care less about Todd Reesing and this Kansas team that is looking for a Big 12 championship to end these program-changing seniors' careers with a trophy to show for their success. Kansas has a deep pile of stories that anybody can pick and choose to write about, which local media have. But the problem is, ESPN isn't our local media. — Edited by Amanda Thompson t CF Follow Nicolas Roesler at twitter.com/ nroesler8. --- i THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY DAILY Dining previews 'Better Bites' Free samples of healthy food options will be available in the Kansas Union today.

Bridging the language gap BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rseqebrecht@kansan.com Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety captain, was the first to arrive on the scene in West Campus where he began to search for suspects. The offense, a property crime, was unrememorable, but once Bailey began questioning his first suspect, the investigation was unforgettable. The suspect didn't understand English, and Bailey, who spoke little Spanish, had to contact the Department of Spanish and Portuguese for an interpreter when the man couldn't respond to his questions. "Once we breached the language barrier, he was extremely helpful," Bailey said. "I was able to immediately clear him as a suspect." That was 10 years ago, but similar situations continue to arise in Lawrence. Students at the University are joining in both the discussion and the resolution of the language gap. THE STRUGGLE IN EMERGENCIES KU Public Safety isn't alone. The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department and Lawrence Memorial Hospital are also encountering emergencies in which no one speaks English, but both organizations are addressing the problem differently than the KU Public Safety officers.

CRIME Law professor questions statutory rape law's efficiency BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com Speaking to students Tuesday, former Kansas Special Assistant Attorney General Teresa Collett said a state law designed to protect children from sexual assaults might not be working properly. Collett, now a professor of law at the St. Thomas University School of Law in Minneapolis, Minn., spoke about those requirements during the "Sex, Jurisprudence, and Rock and Roll" event hosted by the University of Kansas' law school and the KU chapter of The Federalist Society on Tuesday. "It's unclear whether Kansas health care providers, school counselors, etc., believe that they have the obligation to report the pregnancy of a minor that's age 12, 13 or 14, maybe even 15," Collett said. Kansas law says that professionals of many types, from counselors to dentists, are required to file a report if they have "reason to suspect that a child has been harmed" by a sexual act, with a child being anyone younger than 16, the legal age of consent. However, there has been longstanding debate within the state about whether these professionals should only report those patients they believe were harmed during "It is clear that the context of the law would require this," Collett said during her speech. Collett said she interpreted this to mean professionals should be required to report all evidence of sexual behavior in those 15 years or younger because the harm that had been done to the children could be undetectable or unknown at that point. sexual activity, or if they needed to report all knowledge of sexual activity by those patients. Professionals who are required to report suspicions of statutory rape of minors include physicians who specialize in STDs, counselors, abortionists, providers of birth control and many others. TERESA COLLETT Law professor, St. Thomas University "It is clear that the context of the law would require this." Multiple organizations have voiced concern that these types of laws are an invasion of privacy. However, Collett said she thought the laws were in the best interest of the general public.

A tsunami alert has been issued for the region. The temblor hit at 6:48 a.m. Tuesday midway between the two island groups. In the Samao capital of Apia, families fled their homes amid severe shaking that lasted for up to three minutes. The USGS said the quake struck 20 miles below the ocean floor and was 120 miles from American Samoa and 125 miles from Samoa. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a general alert for the South Pacific region, from American Samoa to New Zealand. 2. Reggae legend's son convicted in drug case KINGSTON, Jamaica — A son of the reggae legend who promoted the legalization of marijuana has been convicted of possessing the drug. Andrew Tosh, 42, son of the late Peter Tosh, was found guilty Monday of possessing a small amount of marijuana. The court in St. Catherine parish ordered him to perform 200 hours of community service, according to court documents. Peter Tosh helped found The Wailers with Bob Marley in 1963 then later branched off on his own, making albums including "Legalize it," whose title track about marijuana urged lawmakers to "legalize it, don't criticize it." Like his father, he is a Rastafarian, a religion whose followers worship Ethiopia's last emperor, Haile Selassie, and often smoke marijuana as a sacrament. 3. Israel won't rule out military strike on Iran Andrew Tosh also sings a version of "Legalize It" in an audio clip posted on his MySpace page JERUSALEM — Israel's defense minister won't rule out a military strike on Iran after the discovery of a secret Iranian nuclear facility Ehud Barak says severe sanctions must be imposed on Iran following the revelations of the clandestine uranium enrichment plant near the city of Qom. He said in a statement released Tuesday that Israel is keeping all of its options on the table, suggesting a military strike on the facility is possible. Israel insists Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. Iran denies the allegations. 4. Aunt, grandma plead guilty to starving child NATIONAL FOREST, Miss. — A grandmother and an aunt pleaded guilty Tuesday to starving to death a 4-year-old boy who weighed only 19 pounds when he was found last year at his home in central Mississippi. Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon accepted capital murder pleas from Austin Watkins' grandmother, 43-year-old Janice Mowdy, and aunt, 22-year-old Stephanie Bell. In exchange for the guilty pleas, the judge sentenced the women to life in prison. They could have faced the death penalty if a jury had convicted them. The judge questioned the women several times about why they didn't help Austin, who was found dead at his home near Ludlow on Nov. 9. Mowdy told the judge she fed her grandson but he vomited often. She said Austin needed medical help, but she worked too much to take him to the doctor. 5. Man acquires coach's text messages, numbers COLUMBIA, Mo. — The University of Missouri athletics department is changing its procedures after selling a box of old cell phones that included old text messages and contact numbers. Mike Bellman paid $190 for 25 phones. They included text messages to and from basketball coach Mike Anderson, football coach Gary Pinkel and Athletics Director Mike Alden. E-mails and contact numbers were also on the phones. The university offered to buy them back, but Bellman said he hoped to sell them to a sports collector. Athletics department spokes man Chad Moller says all information will now be wiped out of phones before they are discarded. 6. Man cut off sheriff's hand, then shot ASHLAND, Ala. — A man who was shot and killed after cutting off the hand of an east Alabama deputy sheriff trying to arrest him is being described as a minister who started a church and sang gospel music with his family. The Rev. Curtis Watts helped build Shining Light Baptist Church in Clay County. Sheriff's officials say Watts swung a bush ax while being arrested last Friday and cut off the right hand of Jason Freeman, a sergeant with the Clay County Sheriff's Department.

The session was organized by the Federal Society of campus. STATE LAW (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "There can be no legitimate expectation of privacy regarding a criminal act," she said. Collett said the state felt its interest in protecting minors from sexual assaults was more significant than the privacy concerns of the victims. Jelani Exum, associate professor of law at the University, also spoke during the event and said she saw how these laws could help catch assaulters and protect the general public, but didn't think they were completely effective. "If we really want to help these minors, we need to be able to find out if this was a 16-year-old boyfriend or a 60-year-old schoolteacher," Collert said. Exum said it had been suggested that these laws may make victims who are unsure about a sexual act less likely to seek treatment because they know their visit to a doctor or hospital would result in a legal investigation. Exum said there were other issues with these mandatory rape reporting laws and the way they affect children, but privacy wasn't one of them. "There are a lot of times when law is in conflict with privacy concerns," Exum said. "There's no such thing as absolute privacy." Baylee Suskin, second-year law student from Parker, Ariz., said she found the event to be very informative as a whole, but didn't think Collett addressed every situation that minors could experience. "She didn't really talk about the cases where you have two 13-year-olds having consensual sex and why only one of these children would be charged with a crime but not the other," Suskin said. — Edited by Samantha Foster Collett has also helped the state defend a challenged opinion issued by former attorney general Phill Kline in 2004 regarding mandatory rape reporting laws. In this statement, Kline said any sexual behavior by those under the age of consent,16, should be considered a criminal act that would be required to be reported to the state. Kline explained this opinion because he wished to subpoena the records of abortion clinics to make sure they were complying with state mandatory rape reporting laws. A group of 14 health professionals challenged Kline's interpretation of mandatory rape reporting laws after he asked to see abortion records for the state. After three years of court battles and appeals, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that Kline's interpretation of the law was correct and that he could legally request these records. The group of health professionals asked that a federal court examine the issue, and federal Judge J. Thomas Marten reversed the Kansas Supreme Court's decision and said it should be up to the health professionals to decide if the patient was harmed during the sexual activity. "Attorney General Kline's opinion would violate a minor's limited right of informational privacy," Marten said in his ruling. However, the battle wasn't over there. Another federal judge eventually overturned Marten's ruling and ordered that the abortion clinics must provide Kline with the records under the condition that no personal information be included. Kline attempted to use these records to charge abortionist George Tiller with multiple charges of violating the state's law on mandatory rape reporting and late-term abortions, but Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston dismissed these charges. Kline lost reelection to Paul Morrison in 2006. Morrison publicly rejected Kline's interpretation of the mandatory rape reporting laws. Collett said this was the main reason professionals may be unclear on the exact situations that would require them to file a report. Morrison eventually used those same records to indict abortionist George Tiller on charges that he illegally performed late-term abortions without a valid second opinion from a physician. However, none of the charges specifically dealt with the mandatory rape reporting laws. Tiller was eventually acquitted of all these charges in March of this year, about two months before he was murdered. Authorities have charged anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder in the murder. Brandon Sayers T-SHIRTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Sinks had to pay was "ridiculous." Sinks had to pay was trifacious. "He's just trying to make a living with his T-shirt shop," Siebert said. Marchiony, however, said Sinks had been contacted on multiple occasions to correct his illegal practices and Kansas Athletics Inc. did not want to go to trial. "The amount is something we don't have a real feeling about," Machiony said, "It's the message from the iury." Sinks, who was not available for comment Tuesday, told the Lawrence Journal-World that he didn't have $667,507. He said if Sinks made the decision to file an appeal, the case would move to the 10th district federal appeals court in Denver, the next step in this process. Alex Herman, Hays third-year law student, said Sinks had 30 days after court ruling to file an appeal under federal law. ; Sink's attorney, James Tilly, said he wasn't sure what Monday's ruling meant for Joe College's future. Herman said he didn't like seeing the shirts and thought they confused people who weren't familiar with the store, but he also said he saw the value in having an independent business. "This is clearly a devastating decision," Herman said, "I assume this would put him out of business." "On one hand he should have known the risk, but at the same time it's tough to see a business owner shaken down by the university," Herman said. Marchiony said the intention was never to put Joe College out of business, but rather see that Sinks not continue selling shirts that breach trademark infringement. SYRCL's Wild & Scenic ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL Edited by Betsy Cutcliff Hoelscher said when patients couldn't furnish an interpreter, they pointed to images on visual cards the technicians carried to indicate the level and location of their pain. "We try to communicate as best we can," Hoelscher said. After the Fire and Medical Department technicians wheel all non-speaking English patients into the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Emergency Room, the hospital provides full-time over-the-phone interpreters, said Julie Sailors, LMH care coordination specialist. The LMH E.R. contracts with Jewish Vocational Services in Kansas City to provide more than 100 languages, Sailors said. She said the wide selection had been useful with the diverse international University community nearby. "The phone service we use about every other day," Sailors said. "Spanish is our number one, but we've had people from Sri Lanka. We've had people from and numbers of friends who they can use spur of the moment," Hoelscher said. "Usually, they will provide that because they understand the challenge for us. They're frustrated a lot of times. They've encountered it previously, living and working in Douglas County." THE STUDENT EFFECT well over a dozen countries. Pretty much any country you can think of, there's a student from that country. They have visitors, and something happens and we see them." Hoelscher said having a couple of Spanish speakers on staff helped the Fire and Medical Department, but predicting where or when they would need one of their bilingual officers was nearly impossible. Foreign language professors aren't the only University affiliates helping break down communication barriers in Lawrence.

INTERNATIONAL Director Polanski asks for extradition to United States extradition to United States ZURICH — Director Roman Polanski will file a motion Tuesday in a Swiss court asking to be released from custody for possible extradition to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl, his lawyer said. Polanski, director of such classic films as "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby," was arrested Saturday as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival. Authorities in Los Angeles consider Polanski a convicted felon and fugitive. The director had pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse in 1977 with the underage girl. He was sent to prison for 42 days, but the judge tried to renege on the plea bargain. In the Swiss city of Bellinzona, the Federal Criminal Court said it had yet to receive an appeal asking for his release. Mascia Gregori Al-Barafi, the court's general-secretary, said she didn't know when the motion might be filed. On the day of his sentencing in 1978, aware the judge would sentence him to more prison time, Polanski fled to France. Polanski, who has dual French-Polish citizenship, has hired Swiss attorney Lorenz Erni to represent him in Switzerland. Temime, Polanski's French lawyer, said Erni was responsible for filing all motions on behalf of the filmmaker. Swiss officials, however, have said there will be no rash decisions on the matter. Any verdict on Polanski's release would likely take a few days, and would be subject to immediate appeals from both sides. Under a 1990 accord between Switzerland and the U.S., Washington has 60 days to submit a formal request for his transfer.

TELEVISION Judge denies appeal by'Survivor' winner BOSTON — "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch is appealing a judge's decision to keep him in a Massachusetts prison until the end of his sentence for tax evasion. He had been serving the final portion of his 51-month sentence in home confinement at his sister's house in Newport, R.I., when he was sent back to prison last month for giving unauthorized media interviews. Hatch was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize for winning the show in its first season.

But the impish billionaire, who also plans to hand out clown noses, says his $35 million excursion into orbit will have a more serious purpose: promoting awareness of the world's growing shortage of clean water. Laliberte and two other astronauts spoke with reporters as they prepared for Wednesday's launch in Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, appearing behind a glass barrier to limit exposure to disease. The 50-year-old Canadian tycoon plans a global broadcast from the space station Oct. 9 to promote his One Drop Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness of the threat to global water supplies. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Colombian pop star Shakira are among the celebrities expected to contribute to the broadcast, to be shown on the foundation's Web site.

Hacked celebrity accounts, an inevitable Kanye West controversy, Ashton Kutcher's race with CNN for the most followers, and other specific events have taken With Twitter being a service dominated by the trends of the moment, it could be easy to call Twitter a fad that will fade as soon as celebrities find a new way to have their incompetence discussed. This label of fad, though, has been applied to Internet communication forms all the way back to e-mail and instant messaging. As these services grew, the label faded. As Twitter matures and perhaps calms down, it will be easier to recognize the practical values of 140-character expression. In education, especially in college, Twitter seems such an ideal way to create a somewhat informal, but equally vibrant dialogue between instructor and students. It is already more popular than other places that students and instructors converse, like discussion blogs on the University's Blackboard system. offer up a quick counterpoint or some agreement in between checking out which new insect President Obama swatted. At the same time, the 140-character limit is a blessing in disguise, forcing a razor-sharp clarity if an instructor wants to attract students to their discussion. In Students would be willing to KANSAN'S OPINION the end, Twitter is not appropriate for anything requiring in-depth discussion, but it is silly to deny its talents for instructors to bring up a relevant article, blog posting. Web site or any other quick tidbit that can add depth for interested students. Though Twitter has the ability to foster communication among pre-established groups, it also functions equally well in bringing unknowns together. A recent Wall Street Journal article has shown interest from some companies in using Twitter to help publicize their job openings. Presumably any job opening would be quickly seized in this job market, but a company's use of social media to advertise its opening illustrates how important it is for the right person to hear about What is truly remarkable about this story is the importance that these companies are apparently placing in networking. the right job. Twitter allows this directed flow of information by allowing one user, who saw the original tweet from the job-offering company, to redirect to a friend, colleague, family member or anyone who might be interested. Perhaps Twitter's most unique and valuable skill is the ability to quickly direct information from those who have it to those who would find it most valuable. While social media, and Twitter specifically, might appear to be frivolous gossip machines, that mark will fade as more and more value is assigned to these services. Already Twitter has sparked interest among investors, and reaching the $1 billion value that seems to mark worthy Internet services is not far off. Past and current members include YouTube (President Obama's official Internet video source), Facebook (how we know who we are today) and several other less-known but up-and-coming services such as LinkedIn. Students would benefit from beginning to familiarize themselves with services such as Twitter, even if only by learning what happened on Kate Plus 8 last night. — Alex Doherty for The Kansan Editorial Board Mary Woolley Brevity is the soul of wit. twitter jenn19 LOL Wondering what to do? NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Slowing down to enjoy life STUDENT LIFE A good friend of mine had been stressed out by his workload and problems with an ex-girlfriend several months ago. He was a smart, diligent and chivalrous guy. He spent most of his time studying and teaching, and was always helping out his friends. His days were packed, leaving no time to relax. INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE JOSIE HO Whenever we hung out, I saw his tired face and weary body, even though he was still chivalrous and humorous. As we grow older, our lives become busier with college, love, careers and relationships with friends and family. We have so much to deal with, but our minds and bodies can only take so much. Setting goals can keep you motivated, but pushing yourself too "You are not Superman. Save yourself before you save the world." I once said. "I think you should spare yourself a few minutes to think about what you need and what you want to do for yourself," I said. "My mind is exhausted," he said as sorrow and loneliness flushed down from his dreary eyes. hard will cause you to miss other important things in life. "Very Busy," a Cantonese song by Joey Yung, says people who always work too hard inadvertently overlook the emotional parts of life. One line goes, "Rushing through my life, I forget to treasure all the touching moments." That's sad, isn't it? We don't always feel happy and fulfilled, because sometimes we get lost in our lives. "What's the point of working so hard and earning so much money without realizing the significance of life?" we always ask ourselves. "How come I feel alienated from people even though I'm in a crowded society?" My friend was not an addicted smoker, but he smoked occasionally when he needed to calm down. I still remember the night I first saw him smoke. I can't deny one thing: He smoked elegantly. I would say smoking doesn't match his gentleman image though. I can feel the heaviness of that cigarette, those slow puffs. He merely used the time it took to smoke a cigarette as a chance to recharge himself and relieve his grief. Was it successful? I didn't know. Ho is a Macau, China, junior in journalism. One night in May, he smoked one last cigarette and wanted me to keep the rest. I hate standing next to a sad person doing nothing, so to cheer him up I wrote some encouraging words on each cigarette when I got home. He asked for them back several months later. After I returned them, he told me it was the sweetest thing that had happened to him in five years. Sometimes all it takes is a touching song, a simple trick or a simple sentence to give us a boost in life. Try to appreciate the small things going on in your life; they often touch the innermost part of your heart. MEDIA Reading news online simply not the same S Since 1996, The Kansas City Star has employed one of the most decorated sportswriters in the country: Joe Posnanski. A two-time Sportswriter of the Year winner, Posnanski's unique and often humorous columns eventually propelled him into the national spotlight. Posnanski recently accepted a job at Sports Illustrated, thus ending his 13-year run with The Star. When he announced his decision, many criticized him for not hiring on with a "com" behemoth such as ESPN or Yahoo! Sports. He's written columns ranging from the futility that surrounds Kansas City's professional sports teams to psychological explanations for athletes' actions. If it were important, you could bet The Star would have Posnanski's opinion on the front page of the paper the next day. "Why Sports Illustrated?" they asked. "Doesn't he realize the state of print media?" (For those of you living in a cave, the kids don't read newspapers and magazines like they used to.) But Posnanski had an explanation: writing for Sports Illustrated was his childhood dream. He finally has the chance to write for the periodical he has adored his entire life. A touching story, right? Well, yes and no. Despite Sports Illustrated's national reputation as one of the leading sports magazines, most people today get their information from the Internet. Nationally respected for its esteemed writing, Sports Illustrated's Web site isn't exactly the premier stop for online media. Though Sports Illustrated maintains a large Web site with plenty of quality material, its viewing statistics do not compete with the other aforementioned online destinations. Critics said Posnanski was making a mistake because the influence once held by magazines THAT GUY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE was a thing of the past. Call me old-fashioned, but I would much rather read Sports Illustrated, GQ or Time in print than online. That's not to say that all printed forms of media have a tremendous amount of appeal, but there's just something about reading a nationally known magazine in print that isn't the same when reading it online. I disagree. The Internet is littered with all types of news sources — professional and amateur. Blogs, podcasts and Web sites of all shapes and sizes have contributed to a crowded medium, which can often be overwhelming. Large news Web sites are "sexy" in the eyes of media consumers and are easily accessible from anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. Maybe it's the layout, full-page color photographs, the texture of the pages and actually being able to hold it that persuades me to read print material more than online. Finally — and I'm really showing my youthful innocence here, if I have any left — one of the more exciting parts of my subscription to these magazines is when I find them crammed in my mailbox. So maybe Posnanski isn't grabbing the world by the tail, but he's part of one of the best magazines in the world. I'll gladly read what he's got to say in between page numbers and glossy pages instead of hyper-links and banner ads. Boultinghouse is a Girard sophomore in journalism and history. Fighting athletes must be punished LETTER TO THE EDITOR It seems that the University will turn a blind eye on the privileged few for the sake of its athletics programs. The Athletics Department seems content to internalize damages and punishments, forcibly moving on from its players well-known actions. This comes at a cost - the respect of the school. The University of Kansas is first and foremost a place of education. Had it been any other students — a fraternity rivalry Student athletes may have higher profiles than most, but they are still students. Do rules not apply to them? A verbal argument between students is tolerable, but a fight on campus that endangers other students in the area is a crime that cannot be ignored. turned violent, for example — I do not hesitate to say that real punishments would have been handed out quickly to all guilty. Unfortunately, the guilty have been allowed to hide behind the political media shield of Perkins, Mangino and Self, safe from any real consequences. They refuse to let any of their cash cows go out to pasture. And why should they? Fans will forget it all if games are being won. The real loser here is the University and the common student. University administration, you show a real lack of integrity in letting a few students nationally tarnish the reputation of the whole school. Students, your value to the University is obviously less than that of its cherished athletes. I ask both of you to save face and not let such a blatant violation go unpunished. — Thomas Bowman is a junior from Seneca.

An hour of math, a half hour of science and another half hour of reading. Forty-five minutes of English and a 30-minute writing test. It comes down to what is not exactly an ideal Saturday morning for most high school students. But five University of Kansas freshmen made the most of it and scored a perfect 36 on their ACT examinations. According to the ACT,1.4 million students took the test in 2009, and the national average was 21.1. The average score for students admitted to the University in Fall 2008, the most recent year reported, was 24.8. "I think that they're not a good tooledtool," said Bailey Reimer. Shawnee freshman and one of the five who received a perfect score. "I'm good at deductive reasoning in the areas of math and reason, but other people are good at journalism or sports or art." Four of the students admitted — Reimer, Emily Parsons, Manhattan freshman, Nina Mathew, Pittsburg freshman, and Daniel Gritz, Prairie Village freshman — received the KU Perfect Achievement Scholarship for their perfect test scores. Lee Furbeck, senior associate director of admissions and scholarships, said the scholarship included the cost of tuition for up to 30 hours per year, room and board in a traditional, unrenovated residence hall, and a small book stipend. The scholarship covers the students for four years. The value varies every year, but this year it equals about $15,600. Mathew said the scholarship was a big factor in her decision to come to the University, but there were other factors that went into her decision as well. "When I came for my senior visit, there was a really cool vibe," Mathew said. "The professors and the administrative officials were all really nice." Parsons said all of the opportunities that went along with going to such big school influenced her decision to come to the University. Furbeck said the KU Perfect Achievement Scholarship was only available to students who graduated from a Kansas high school. Morgan Tichy, Ballwin, Mo., freshman, also earned a perfect score on the ACT, but because she was not a Kansas resident, she received a geographical scholarship for $10,000 a year for up to four years. Tichy said she knew she wanted to go to pharmacy school, which was originally why she looked at the University. But she said when she visited the campus she fell in love with everything about it. The perfect scorers aren't just extremely intelligent. They are hardworking students.Many are in honors courses. Reimer spends time working at the Kansas Scholastic Press Association, is involved in Hashinger Hall student government and will be going on an alternative winter break to Chicago for Teach for America. Tichy, who was an all-state softball player in high school, now plays for the University's club softball team, which requires her to balance two practices a week with her busy schedule. - Edited by Sarah Kelly STATE Law enforcement grant to fight against meth STATE TOPEKA — Kansas is receiving a $1 million grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to help fight production and distribution of methamphetamines. Attorney General Steve Six announced the grant Tuesday. He says part of the money will pay for two prosecutors, one each in southeast and southwest Kansas. The grant will also be used to help train law enforcement and prosecutors in building successful cases. Slain police officer had no connection to killer WICHITA — Authorities say the man who killed a Kansas sheriff's deputy had no known ties to him and waited to ambush any officer who responded to his bogus 911 theft call. Sedgwick County Sheriff Robert Hinshaw released details Tuesday in Monday's shooting death of 26-year-old Deputy Brian S. Etheridge at a southeast Wichita home. Hinshaw identified the shooter as 27-year-old former prison inmate Richard L. Lyons. Lyons was killed in a shootout with officers several hours after Etheridge was wounded.

ROME — Not only was Nero a Roman emperor, it turns out he may also have been the father of the revolving restaurant. The room, part of Nero's Golden Palace, a sprawling residence built in the first century A.D., is thought to have been built to entertain government officials and VIPs, said lead archaeologist Francoise Villedieu. The emperor, known for his lavish and depraved lifestyle, ruled from 37 A.D. to 68 A.D. She said the location of the discovery atop the Palatine Hill, the rotating structure and references to it in ancient biographies of Nero make the attribution to the emperor most likely. MUSCULOIDAL CAMBIAS The partially excavated site is part of the sumptuous residence, also known by its Latin name Domus Aurea, which rose over the ruins of a fire that destroyed much of Rome in A.D. 64. "This cannot be compared to anything that we know of in ancient Roman architecture." Villedieu told reporters during a tour of the cordoned-off dig. The dig so far has turned up the foundations of the room, the rotating mechanism underneath and part of an attached space believed to be the kitchens, she said.

WIDE-RANGING RECEIVER KU 10 KANSAS 10 Senior receiver Kerry Meier sprints to the end zone after a 62 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Todd Reesing Saturday against Southern Mississippi. Meier led Kansas with 141 receiving yards with two touchdowns in the Jayhawks 35-28 victory. Weston White/KANSAN Meier's talents span the field New positions no sweat for senior wide reciever BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Certainly, by now, you know senior wide receiver Kerry Meier's story — from a highly touted high school quarterback to one of the most productive pass-catchers in the country. And of course you know about his selflessness and versatility on the field — from a backup quarterback, to a holder, to the second-string punter. But the bet here is you didn't know this: At times during the past two weeks without sophomore tight end Tim Biere, who missed time because he of an illness, Meier lined up at ... tight end? "It's just a few different schemes coach Warinner threw in there," Meier said, "If something should happen like that, I'll be ready to go. We throw a few little nuances in there." Meier talked about his repetitions at tight end rather nonchalantly, and hinted that it may not be a significant piece of Kansas' future offensive plans. But the notion alone illustrated two central themes from Meier's time at Kansas: His willingness to adjust and his ability to comprehend football. "Kerry's just smooth," freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald said, "People may not see him as the most athletic guy but I just think he's a great, great football player. He just knows the game and he know coverages. He knows where to sit in zones." Meier, who was Kansas' starting quarterback his freshman year and backed up Reesing last season, is currently listed as the third-string quarterback. During practice, he still wears the red jersey and still participates in quarterback meetings. This season, though, Meier said he spends more time in fine-tuning his abilities at wide receiver now that freshman quarterback Kale Pick has developed into a capable backup. More of his time is spent with Kansas' other receivers, discussing coverages and studying film of an opposing team's secondary. "Any time you can turn your complete attention and focus to one thing, you're going to feel a lot better and a lot more comfortable and pink up." zone for a 62- yard touchdown. even more things," Meier said. Early in the first quarter, with Southern Mississippi defending him with single coverage, Meier slipped past his defender, caught an over-the-shoulder pass from Reesing and bolted into the end The play only foreshadowed the rest of Meier's day. Throughout the game, Meier found weak spots in Southern Miss' zone defenses and benefited from Kansas' repeated use of quick throws when opting to run its hurry-up offense. "You can't coach that or really teach it. A guy has it or he doesn't." In all, Meier finished with ten catches and a career-high 141 receiving yards. TODD REESING Quarterback "Kerry just quietly does that stuff just makes play after play," coach Mark Mangino said. "Just a tremendous playmaker for us. He gets open where a lot of receivers struggle in certain situations. He finds a way to get open and get the ball" In the months leading up the season, Meier and senior running back Lake Sharp developed into workout partners, offering the motivation needed to put in the extra work when the season seemed so far away. And teammates said that extra time is the backing for Meier's success. After Kansas' victory against Southern Miss, Reeing talked about Meier's work ethic, calling it "next to none on this team or anyone I've been around." Then, in four brief sentences. Reesing perfectly summed up the abilities of Kansas' leading receiver. "He studies the game and he just makes plays," Reesing said. "You can't coach that or really teach it. A guy has it or he doesn't. He shows up in big games and makes plays when he has to."

Kansas is preparing for tonight's game against Colorado, which is on a four game losing streak. 3 Jerry Wang/KANSAN VOLLEYBALL Kansas gets set for tonight's battle against Colorado team BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Kansas (8-4, 1-2) has played well at home while Colorado (5-8, 0-4) has yet to win a game on the road this season. Colorado is also on a four game losing streak. Kansas volleyball needs to continue to play strong at home in the Big 12 Conference as Kansas faces Colorado 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas hopes to keep these trends alive, but may have to do without the help of junior outside hitter Karina Garlington, who sat out against Baylor with an injury. Coach Ray Bechard said whether Garlington plays will be a game time decision. t Follow Kansan writer Zach Getz at twitter.com/zgetz. Bechard said while Colorado has a losing record it had pre-conference success and had to face only top tier Big 12 teams in early conference play. Colorado also returned key experienced players this season who are incorporated into a new regime hungry for a Big 12 victory, Bechard said. Senior defensive specialist Melissa Grieb said Colorado is a very scrappy team that plays tough. Colorado is also getting some players back from injury, so their record isn't really a reflection of how good a team they are, Grieb UPCOMING GAMES PAGE 1B Colorado at Kansas WHEN: 6:30 p.m. tonight WHERE: Horejsi Family Athletics Center Kansas at Texas A&M WHEN: 2 p.m. October 3 WHERE: College Station, Texas said.

SEE GAME ON PAGE 5B COMMENTARY Missouri dealing with own problems BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Like many of us last week, my Missouri Tiger "friends" were pretty talkative after our little Wescoe Wrangle; they kept saving Kansas players are "thugs," they won't focus, etc. For fans looking to get a nice bit of revenge, there might be an opportunity. A juicy, juicy opportunity. Mike Bellman, an information specialist for public schools in Columbia, bought 25 cell phones used by the Missouri athletic department in a surplus sale. The Columbia Tribune reported that Bellman purchased the phones for $190. He planned to resell some of their parts. One of the phones is a Sprint Treo previously owned by Missouri basketball coach Mike Anderson. Bellman says there are text messages to and from football coach Gary Pinkel and athletic director Mike Alden, as well as contact information for hundreds of players and team officials. And that's not the best part for Tiger haters. See, Missouri tried to buy the phones back for $190 after realizing the potential problems. Bellman, a Missouri souvenir collector who declined to comment, told the athletic department "no thanks" and plans to sell the phones for $3,000. Missouri then offered to erase all personal information from the phones, but Bellman again declined. Commenters on the Columbia Tribune Web site have called Bellman an "opportunistic slimeball" among many other more profane things for not allowing the University to wipe the phones clean. Maybe the Missouri athletic department should have thought of that before it sold the phones. I'm wondering what they're trying to hide. Missouri's athletic department has no reason to buy the phones back unless they have something they might need to cover up. I realize that I can't say that Anderson's phone contains anything meaningful. But neither can Missouri. That's why they want them back. The problem, at least for Jayhawks seeking revenge, is that Bellman wants to sell the phones to Columbia residents or Missouri fans. But if he doesn't get a bite by tomorrow, he will put them up on eBay for Rock Chalk consumption. That's when things could get out of control. I can imagine a group of Kansas fans joining forces and splitting the cost of the phones, hoping to tear down the Missouri program. The phone could provide little beyond congratulations and kind words from other coaches. Or it could show that Anderson was illegally contacting recruits. Or the phone could have text messages from Anderson to players that might be interesting. The possibilities are truly endless. But one thing's for sure: Missouri will be overseeing this situation very carefully.

Officials say Agassi's foundation, used to support the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, also received a pledge of $7.5 million over five years from the Engelstad Family Foundation. The Saturday concert at the Wynn Las Vegas casino featured comedian Dane Cook, rock band Daughtry, country musician Tim McGraw and R&B singer Brian McKnight. Officials say the $7.5 million gift will be used to establish a campaign to try to raise student funding in Nevada. The K-12 school uses the concert funds for its operating budget. The school has roughly 600 students.

Associated Press MORNING BREW Famous fights redirect attention As the muck of last week's brawl washes away, another smear spatters from the world of miscued fighting in sports. About a month after spilling his desire for a trade, Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson rekindled his belligerent past. In an effort to direct our attention away from the fights on campus and with help from Jackson's words, today's Brew will revisit some of the greatest fights in sports history that simply weren't like the rest. With all three of these rivalry fights there was a little something special. Keep your dukes up and your head down, and let's get ready to rumble. Ding ding! THE MALICE AT THE PALACE In a sweltering rivalry game in 2004, The Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers bashed skulls on the court and then off it. After a fan threw a cup of beer at former Pacer Ron Artest, the specialist jumped into the stands and started going at it with who he believed was the beer chucking fan. Jackson and former Pacer teammate Jermaine O'Neal also jumped into the stands, punching many other fans. The brawl resulted in nine different suspensions including 86 games for Artest and 30 for Jackson. The fan who threw the beer was forever banned from the Pistons' home games. Said Jackson of the memories: "I don't have a regret about anything I've done. I don't have a regret about going in the stands with Ron Artest." PEDROVS. ZIMMER BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com In game three of the 2003 ALCS between bitter rivals the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, a standard clearing of two benches soon evolved into one of the most memorable baseball- less battles ever. After the regular umpire warnings (seen game after game in the rivalry), former Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez and pitcher Pedro Martinez helped spark a mid-game melee. The only difference in this fight was that withered 72-year-old Don Zimmer, former bench coach for the Yankees, decided that he wanted in on the fun. With his perfectly pasty and circular noggin gleaming in the scintillating sun, Zimmer charged at Martinez with all of his might (his might level being highly debatable). With game-ready reaction time, the Dominican ace smoothly stepped to the side and used two hands to escort the elder to the ground face-forward. Like a bowling ball rolling down Martinez's lane, Zimmer spun a full 720 degrees on the infield grass, forever branding a hilarious image on the minds of Red Sox nation. In case you weren't sold on the hype this rivalry collects, a senile coach coach battaling a Cy Young hurler with Richard Pryor-like wits should settle all of that nonsense. TYSON VS. HOLYFIELD "My main objective is to be professional, but kill him," boxer Mike Tyson once said of opponent Lennox Lewis. For those who were not aware, Tyson is not only one of the most feared fighters in sports history — the guy is absolutely off his (John) rocker. Forever solidifying this truth was what took place in the rematch of Tyson and Evander Hollyday. In their first bout, Holyfield was a heavy underdog but knocked Tyson out in the eleventh round. After successive head-butting by Holyfield throughout the first match, Tyson felt as though he had to stick up for himself and his family in the second fight. In the rematch, Tyson tried to begin the third round without his mouthpiece, but was promptly redirected by the referee. Halfway through the same round, the two were tangled and Tyson bit off a chunk of Holyfield's right ear. Holyfield immediately grabbed his耳 with his glove in pain. Tyson eventually got to both of Holyfield's ears and even an angry fan that night, but was disqualified from the fight, faced fines and suspension and temporarily lost his boxing license for his insane actions. A bloody chunk of Holyfield's right ear was found in the ring after the fight. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS With a light helmet, a pickaxe and a duster, Music from the Vaults readers will voyage though the deepest and darkest musical caverns known by crate diggers and cult revivalists. The Exploding Plastic Inevitable was a performance made possible by the ever-contemporary Andy Warhol, showcasing the haunting discordance and innovation of The Velvet Underground. Touring the United States and Canada in 1967, the show gathered only a small following because of critics scared away by the group's merciless strangling of conventions in pop music. The group's premier days with visionaries Lou Reed and John Cale and stunning German chanteuse Nico were sparse, but accomplished some of the most transcending mediums in pop and punk music history, ushering in an era of social realism and sexual awareness in music. THE MORNING BREW In 1967's The Velvet Underground and Nico, Lou Reed's droning voice melodies coo through the avant-garde territories of John Cale's electric viola, menacing piano and off kilter bass guitar. "I'm Waiting for the Man" frames a jinkie waiting on the corner for his next fix. Reed illustrates the scene singing, "There he is, he's all dressed in black, Dior shoes and a big straw hat," and "He's never early, he's always late." "Venus in Furs" is a spooky ode to S&M, with a screeching viola as the conductor to the perverted and kinky tale. On the seven minute journey of "Heroin," Reed bares every last detail of the drug, strolling through a frightening exposition of the life of a junkie over the pulsating chaos from Cale and company. He concludes the epic shrugging off his addiction and his life, repeatedly chanting, "And I guess that I just don't know." The Velvet Underground made sunglasses cool. Then they inspired the future of all left field music. — Edited by Samantha Foster Source of quotes: ESPN.com, michaeltson.com T Follow Kansan sports writer Max Rothman at twitter.com/ maxrothman.

Making use of textbook blocking, the slippery little senior set a Big 12 record against Tennessee Tech on Saturday with two kickoff returns for touchdowns. He became the 12th man in NCAA history to take two kickoffs all the way back in one game. On the other side is junior place kicker Josh Cherry, who's 1-for-6 in field goal attempts. Apparently, there are no other candidates for the job. Coach Bill Snyder says he's just going to keep practicing with the young kicker.

Instead, he told Congress on Tuesday, "It gave me liver failure." Gunter said the experience with Superdrol four years ago, when he was a student at Lincoln University in Missouri, left him hospitalized for weeks. He said that although he's OK now, his doctor told him the condition could come back at any time. Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, told the same hearing of the Senate Judiciary crime and drugs subcommittee that Superdrol is a brand name for an anabolic steroid and that Gunter's experience illustrates the problem with steroids making their way into dietary supplements. "He woke up in a hospital bed with the doctor explaining to him that he had suffered acute liver failure, a textbook effect of taking steroids orally," Tygart said in prepared testimony. Tygart said more regulation of the multibillion-dollar dietary supplement industry is needed, and the subcommittee chairman, Pennsylvania Democrat Arlen Specter, said that was worth exploring. "The question arises whether there needs to be a change in federal law." Specter said, specifically raising the possibility of dietary supplements getting clearance from the government before they are sold. "The whole area is really pretty much off the radar screen," he told reporters later. > THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 CLASSIFIEDS 3B KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Home housing SALE ... for sale announcements Megafone 785-864-4358 jobs textbooks JS 图书 FOR SALE HAWKCHALK.COM 42" Plasma Samsung fat panel TV/ $600 obo.

Kansas tied with Missouri and Louisiana-Lafayette for second place. BY ANDREW WITUSZYNSKI awituszynski@kansan.com "I guess it's good." After day one at the Kansas Invitational, Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior was tied for second place individually. On Tuesday, Barbee chalked up a 68 and took home the first place trophy. Barbee won the tournament with a three-round total score of 211. The second-place finisher scored 214. That was all Barbee had to say, standing there with a first place trophy in his hands and taking pictures with his family, who had traveled from South Dakota to be in Lawrence for the tournament. Barbee said his lack of excitement was because he wished the team would have won the tournament overall. "It's disappointing that we didn't pull this one off as a team," Barbee said. "Especially when we were so close." Kansas finished in a three-way tie for second place with Missouri and Louisiana-Lafayette. Each team scored a total of 888 strokes. Oklahoma won with 868 strokes. "It was a real heartbreaker to come that close and not win," coach Kit Grove said. "The 81 that we had to take yesterday really killed us." Grove's Jayhawks have started off the season by finishing in third place in their first tournament and now back-to-back second place finishes. "This is the best start we've had since I've been here," Grove said. "I'm also really happy for Nate. He's been so close lately and has been getting frustrated; now he finally got a win." Assistant coach John Handrigan also said he was happy for Barbee. "It was great for him to get his first win. Now that he has one under his belt, the floodgates are going to open for him," Handrigan said. Barbee's victory can be attributed to his hard work ethic. After the 36 holes on Monday, Barbee was the only player to stay and practice his putting. Everyone else went home because it was dark and they had already played 36 holes, but not Barbee. "It's no fluke that Barbee won this tournament," Grove said. "There is always a silver Equinox in the parking lot with South Dakota plates. It might be bad advertising for Chevrolet because people are going to think the car is broken down because it's there so much." In a college golf tournament, every coach gets to walk the course with one player. In the first few tournaments Grove has been walking with one of the freshmen, but Grove chose to walk with Barbee on Tuesday. "It's tough to be out there alone for five hours when you're in contention for winning a tournament. I just tried to keep him loose and it's always nice to have another voice out there."

"We didn't get first, but we've started off well this year," Barbee said. "We didn't even play that well and we still only lost by two strokes. That shows that we can play with some really good teams." Edited by Sarah Kelly NFL Six teams, zero victories but worth second look ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Let's start at the bottom. To recap: The Bucs' backup QB led them in rushing, the Titans' final 13 passes fell incomplete and the Dolphins again disproved the value of ball control. The Browns couldn't stop the run, the Chiefs couldn't stop the pass and the Rams couldn't stop a losing streak that's now the NFL's longest. Although the Lions finally won Sunday, there was still plenty of bad football around the league. Seven NFL cities are hogging the spotlight thanks to 3-0 starts. But for those with a strong stomach, the 0-3 teams deserve a closer look. There are six — the Browns, Rams, Chiefs, Dolphins, Titans and Buccaneers — a game behind the Lions. When's the last time any team could say that? "When you lose three games in a row, finger-pointing starts and you're saying, 'Why isn't this working?'" Bucs linebacker Barrett Rudd said. And when you start 0-3, your playoff chances dwindle. Since 1990, only three teams have made the postseason after losing their first three games. The most surprising cellardwellers are the Dolphins and Titans, both division champions in 2008. In each case, the decline has been a team effort. Against the Jets on Sunday, Tennessee's Kerry Collins missified on his final 13 attempts, but he couldn't do it alone. Teammates dropped five passes in the second half. The Titans had the NFL's best record last year at 13-3, but since their undefeated start in 2008 ended Nov. 23 against the New York Jets, they're 3-7. The losses this year have been by a total of 13 points. "One play could make the difference in each game," defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said. "It couldn't be a finer line." "You have to chip away at it," Cleveland coach Eric Mangini said. "There's no 20-point touchdown." With 20-point touchdowns, Mangini's crew would really be in trouble. As it is, the Browns have been outscoored 95-29. The Browns' 218-yard average — that's total offense — is last in the league, as is their minus-7 turnover differential. And they've been outgained by 584 yards. Derek Anderson came on and threw three interceptions in the second half. But hats off to Robert Royal, who has scored Cleveland's lone offensive touchdown in the past nine games. It came during garbage time in the season opener. The Rams have a new coach, a new general manager and the same crummy team. They're 5-30 since 2007 and getting worse. "Anything and everything that we want to accomplish this year is still in front of us," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. That could include securing the No. 2 draft pick for the third year in a row. The Chiefs have lost 26 of their past 28 games, and that doesn't count an 0-4 preseason. New QB Matt Cassel has failed to revive the offense, which is 7 for 36 on third-down conversions and not great on first or second down, either. Other winless teams are facing quarterback issues. Josh Johnson was awarded the Bucs' starting job this week after coming off the bench in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Giants to lead the team in rushing with 15 yards. The Redskins have been so bad the home crowd booed even when they beat St. Louis. Washington has struggled against a weak schedule, scoring only 40 points in three games. Coach Jim Zorn is on the hot seat, and he might join the jeering if his team loses Sunday to Tampa Bay. At the moment, a lot of teams would settle for one win. But hang in there, Dolphins, Titans, Browns, Chiefs, Bucs and Rams — a lot of bad football remains to be played.

Kansas came in sixth place overall, led by Emily Powers, who shot a 73 on Tuesday to grab seventh place individually. Kansas recorded a total of 954 strokes in the three rounds. Tulsa won the tournament with a three-day total score of 901. Arkansas came in second, and host of the tournament, Kansas State, placed third. "It was really cold and windy and I thought we did well to hold up," Powers said. "We would've liked to place better," Powers said. In a prepared statement, coach Erin O'Neil said, "We never really got anything going during the tournament." The one bright spot for the Jayhawks in this event was Powers. "Emily played well and had a good finish. On Monday afternoon we gave away a lot of shots on the last three holes and didn't finish like we wanted to," O'Neil said in the statement.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FRIDAY 18+ PARTY $1 NIGHT ABE&JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET - LAWRENCE, KS LANDING THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 SPORTS 5B NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS ALBERT 76 NFL Wilson SUPPLIED PRESENTS Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen (4) looks to throw a pass during the second half of a preseason NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks in Hawks City, Mo., on Aug. 29. Thigpen was traded to Tuesday by the Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins for an undisclosed deal. Injured Pennington,33 moves over for Thigpen BY STEVEN WINE Asssociated Press MIAMI — Chad Pennington's season officially ended with a trade that didn't involve him. The Miami Dolphins placed Pennington on the reserve-injured list to create a roster spot for quarterback Tyler Thigpen, who was acquired Tuesday from the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed draft pick. Pennington hurt his right shoulder Sunday at San Diego, an injury that leaves his career in jeopardy. At 33, he likely faces a third operation on the shoulder since 2005. Thippen shores up depth behind second-year pro Chad Henne, who is expected to make his first NFL start Sunday against Buffalo Rookie Pat White is the Dolphins' other quarterback. Thigpen, a third-year pro, went 1-10 as a starter for the woeful Chiefs last year and threw for 2,608 yards with 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Kansas City acquired Matt Cassel in the off-season, and Thigpen lost a battle this year with Brodie Croyle for the No. 2 job. Thigpen is excited about the move to Miami, even though the Dolphins are 0-3, said his agent, Joel Turner. "It's not like that team is short on talent — they won the division last year," Turner said. "It's a wonderful opportunity, Nobody does it like Bill Parcells. For Bill Parcells to believe in Tyler speaks volumes about Tyler" Parcels may have wildcat duty in mind for Thigpen, who ran a spread offense last year with the Chiefs. At 225 pounds, he's a powerful runner and the first quarter-back in Chiefs history to score a touchdown three ways: as a passer, rusher and receiver. Henne is expected to get an extended opportunity as a starter. Taken in the second round of the 2008 draft, he has been considered Pennington's heir apparent for more than a year. The Dolphins will be Thigpen's third organization. He was a seventh-round draft pick by Minnesota in 2007. GAME (CONTINUED FROM 1B) It's not just about end game, but also leading up to the end game; Bechard said. "We can get to the end game, then we haven't seemed to be able to battle through the end," Grieb said. "We work on end game every day, but also how to put yourself in a situation from one to 20 where end game is not so critical." Bechard said. Senior middle blocker Brittany Williams agreed that Kansas needs to work on end game and continue with the strong defense and getting key digs. "We have to play our own game and be on our pace instead of responding to the pace of another team," Williams said. — Edited by Samantha Foster HOCKEY St. Louis Blues shut out Swedish Elite League 6-0 LINKOPING, Sweden — Paul Kariya scored twice in the second period to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 6-0 victory over Swedish Elite League club Linkoping in a preseason game Tuesday.

Orlando Cabrera hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning after a pair of wild pitches and the Minnesota Twins closed within one game of first-place Detroit, beating the Tigers 3-2 Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Detroit Tigers' Gerald Laird is hit by a pitch from Minnesota Twins pitcher Nick Blackburn in the second inning in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Tuesday in Detroit. The Twins closed to within a game of the Tigers. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Twins trailed Detroit by seven games only two weeks ago. But Minnesota would pull even with a sweep — Tigers ace Justin Verlander was set to pitch against Brian Duensing in the nightcap. Minnesota clinched the season series 10-5 against Detroit, meaning a division tiebreaker would be at the Metrodome. Because Brett Favre and the Vikings host Green Bay on Monday night at the stadium, a baseball playoff would likely be pushed back until Tuesday. It was tight throughout at Comerica Park. Scrapping for a run, the teams combined for five sacrifice bunts and used three pinch-runners. The Twins missed a chance to take the lead in the ninth when Nick Punto popped up a suicide-squeeze bunt, resulting in a double play. Speedy Minnesota right fielder Denard Span made a fine running catch on Ramon Santiago's deep drive toward the line with a runners on second and two outs in the bottom half, leaving it tied at 1-all. Minnesota tied the game in the fifth when Matt Tolbert led off with a double, took third on one of the Twins' four sacrifice buns and scored on Span's sacrifice fly. A rainout Monday night delayed the start of this fourgame series and forced a doubleheader. Each team has six games left. By that point, Blackburn had settled down, retiring the Tigers in order in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Both starters finished with no-decisions. Tigers rookie Rick Porcello allowed one run in 6 1-3 innings, while Nick Blackburn gave up one run in seven innings. Jon Rauch (4-1) walked Carlos Guillen to start the bottom of the ninth, and Gerald Laird bunted pinch-runner Wilkin Ramirez to second. Brandon Inge hit a shallow flyout and Span ran down Santiago's liner on the warning track. Minnesota had another chance as Porcello tired in the seventh. Jose Morales led off with a single under second baseman Placido Polanco's glove and Tolbert bunted him to second. Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff homer against Joe Nathan in the Tigers 10th. Nathan retired the next three batters for his 45th save — he is 30-for-30 in career save tries against Detroit. Span led off the 10th with a single. He advanced on consecutive wild pitches by Brandon Lyon (6-5), who had thrown just one wild pitch all season. Cabrera followed with a single and Delmon Young added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly for a 3-1 lead. The 20-year Porcello left to a standing ovation after walking Punto on his 111th pitch — seven more than his previous career high. Zach Miner got Span to pop out to shallow right, then struck out Cabrera to end the inning with Joe Mauer on deck. The Tigers stranded seven runners in the first four innings, getting their only run on Santiago's single in the second off first baseman Michael Cuddyer's glove. peace love jayhawk.

Follow Kansan football writer Hallie Mann at twitter.com/halliemann11. Monica Johannessen, Haugesund, Norway, freshman, and Lindsey Legako, Winfield freshman, are two of 10 freshmen on the swimming team. The swimming and diving team gained 13 new recruits from across the globe to bring fine talent to Kansas. There's something about Kansas that attracts the best and brightest to its campus. For the swimming and diving team, 13 new recruits joined the team this fall from across the globe. Maybe it was last season's standout performances from the team — like Maria Mayrovich qualifying for NCAA or Erin Mertz earning All-American status as a diver. Or maybe it was the intensive recruiting done by coaches Eric Elliott and Jen Fox. Whatever it was, Kansas can look forward to a future of swimming and diving strength from this year's additions. "We have to be patient this fall and we're going to take things slow," Campbell said, "The goal is to be a much better team in February than in October." Even in this large class and this early in the season, some recruits have stood out on the team. Sophomore diver Erin Savas took a long road to make it to Kansas. Originally from Midland, Texas, Savas has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Cyprus and competed in the latter during her high school years. She also tried out for the Cyprus 2008 Olympic team. Savas tested out of high school when she was 16 years old to pursue competing in Cyprus, and used her grandparents' bloodline to attain Coach Clark Campbell said the swimming and diving team looked for athletes with the best times and potential to grow. It didn't matter whether the athletes were from the U.S. or other countries. He said as recruiters, Kansas just tried to get potential athletes excited about being a Jayhawk and coming to Lawrence. This year, Kansas attracted 13 new team members: ten swimmers and three divers. Campbell said this was one of the largest recruiting classes hed had since he'd been coaching here. Adam Buhler/KANSAN t "It ites both ways," Savas said, "On the one hand, I'm very blessed that I got to experience things people my age never get to experience but I've never been to a school dance before so it's a tradeoff." "This year is kind of a transition year for me but I'd love to be able to do some pretty big things for KU," Savas said. Savas said it didn't work out as she had planned in Cyprus so when she came back to the U.S. she looked for another way to keep swimming. One of her former coaches worked at St. Louis University and Savas went there to dive for a year. After not meeting her expectations, Savas looked to Kansas as another option for diving. Savas said she hopes to make a big impact during her four years at Kansas. Also coming from abroad is swimmer Monica Johannessen from Norway. Johannessen swims the sprint freestyle and butterfly events for Kansas and said she hopes to make the sprint relay teams this season for Kansas. Johannessen said she was looking for a way to combine school and swimming — something that was hard to do in Norway — when she found Kansas. "They presented the school very well to me," Johannessen said. "I had to take a chance and I'm not regretting it." Johannessen said she wants to study psychology at Kansas but is taking mostly general education classes to adjust to speaking English on a regular basis. On top of the language barrier in the classroom, Johannessen has to adjust to swimming in yards instead of meters which threw off her times a little bit. Like Campbell, Johannessen said she thinks that the new recruits and the team overall has a lot of potential to do well this season. She said she is looking forward to competing for Kansas and back home in Norway this fall for the Norwegian Junior Nationals. "Monica is really good, she's going to have a bigger fall." Campbell said, "We may be putting her on a different path for training than the rest of the girls." The swimming and diving队 also recruited some stars from right here in Kansas. Freshman Lindsey Legako is from Winfield and competed in the Kansas High School Championships all four years of her high school career. Legako started swimming competitively year-round during her junior year of high school when she joined the Wichita Swim Club. Legako placed 5th and 8th in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle and it was definitely the best part of her high school career. "Right now, coming into it as a freshman my main goal is just to improve," Legako said. Legako said she was undecided on her major and was just trying to settle into college life. She said that between swimming and class she didn't have much free time but being with the team was always fun. Legako said that when she came to Kansas she fell in love with the campus and the team "just fit" for her. Besides Savas, Johannessen and Legako, the team has 10 other new recruits: Brook Brull, Lake Quivira, Ana Kuehler, Overland Park, Madi Landi, Baton Rouge, La., Cora Powers, Olathe, Brittany Rospierski, Valley View, Ohio, Alyssa Rudman, Baldwin City, Rebecca Swank, Wichita and Madison Wagner, Ft. Meyers, Fla. round out the swimming team. Freshmen Chirsty Cash, Lenexa, and Taylor Ilten, Edina, Minn., join Savas on the diving side. — Edited by Betsy Cutcliff INTRAMURALS Teams have opportunity to compete at higher level 'The Fighting Seans' played intramural football at nationals last season and look to excel at the University level this year BY PAT ELAND peland@kansan.com KANSAS WHEAT Members of the intramural football team "The Fighting Seans" pose for a photo. The team competed at regionalals and nationals last season. There are two intramural organizations that offer national championships for flag football. The first organization is the American Collegiate Intramural Sports, and the second is the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association. As the intramural flag football season end draws near, teams have an opportunity to extend their seasons and compete on a national level for flag football greatness. Contributed photo Teams travel to a regional tour nament to compete in regions. Then the top two teams from each regional get a trip to the national tournament paid for, and compete for the national championship of intramural flag football. Last year Kansas had a co-rec flag football team that decided to extend its season and test its skills against the top teams in the nation. The Fighting Seans, as they called themselves once their original team name was deemed too inappropriate, traveled to a regional tournament after blowing through the competition here at Kansas. The team went 7-0 and won the Kansas intramural co-rec flag football championship. After taking home the championship at Kansas, the team took its game on the road to represent the University at the ACIS regional tournament at University of Nebraska. "We didn't really know what to expect," said Sean Allhouse, Lenexa senior. Allhouse is team captain "Most of us were in our senior year, so we were just going out to have a good time." NICK TOBABEN Topeka senior Follow Kansan writer Pat Eland at twitter.com/peland_uk. and the inspiration for the team name. "We thought we would just take a trip to Nebraska and have fun for a weekend." t The Fighting Seans were renamed Team Kansas for the regional tournament. It was placed into a three-team pool for pool play, with the top two teams advancing to bracket play. Team Kansas made it out of pool play after going 1-1, losing to the host school Nebraska. In the first round of bracket play Team Kansas faced an experienced North Texas team that had been to the postseason before. "They had plays and stuff and were organized, unlike us." Allshouse said with a chuckle. Team Kansas won the match on a touchdown pass that it later named the "double ally-oop." On the last play of the first half, it was down 8-0 and threw a pass to the end zone where a male Kansas player caught it, while in mid-air, threw it to another guy, who then threw it to a girl. The girl on the team caught it and put Kansas up 9-8, because girls touchbacks are worth nine points to a guy's six points in co-rec flag football. The game ended with the score locked at 9-8 as Kansas moved on to the finals. Team Kansas faced Nebraska once again and lost, but was still going on a free trip to the national tournament in New Orleans. Kansas was one of ten teams at the NCIS national tournament. It had a strong showing in pool play, as the team came out with a 2-0 record and earned itself a first round bye in bracket play. In the semifinals, it faced the same North Texas team it had played in Lincoln. North Texas had to pay its way to New Orleans, since it did not place in the top two oat regionalists and merit a free ride to nationals. North Texas was able to get the better of Kansas in the second meeting as Kansas was knocked out of the tournament. North Texas moved on to the championship where it won over Nebraska by a score of 16-10 to be named the 2008 ACIS flag football national champions. Even though there wasn't a consolation game, Team Kansas likes to say that it got third place at nationals since it had already played and beaten the team in the other semifinal matchup. "We played the consolation game in pool play," Teopela senior Nick Tobenba said. "We beat them once, we could do it again." Kansas players came home with a bitter taste in their mouths, but brought with them a very memorable experience. They got a free trip to New Orleans, and got to ring in the new year on the famous Bourbon Street of New Orleans.
