HEALTH | 3A WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2009 VOLUME121 ISSUE 31 ENROLLMENT KU sees record high in diversity BY JESSE BROWN jbrown@kansan.com WORK IT OUT Total enrollment numbers at the University decreased by 1.2 percent this fall, but the percentage of racially diverse and international students has increased. The influx of incoming freshmen of diverse backgrounds combined with increased international enrollment at the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center have made this semester the most diverse student body in University history. "The University of Kansas remains a great place to be for a bright, ambitious and diverse student body," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a news release. The total international enrollment increased by 11.6 percent. On the Lawrence campus, international enrollment for undergraduates increased by 22.65 percent. According to the news release, 14.3 percent of incoming freshmen and 12.8 percent of the student population as a whole identified themselves as American/Indian/ Alaskan Native, Asian, Black, or Latino. Only the Hispanic community saw a decline in numbers of incoming freshmen, but there was a steady retention in the sophomore class. Susan Tang, Hunan Province China, freshman, came to the University with a full-tuition scholarship and read about the University's 96th national ranking in the U.S. News and World Report. According to international undergraduate admissions, fall 2008 had 799 undergraduates. This year, 980 undergraduates came to the University. "I like the place well and the quiet environment here and people are so nice here." Tang said. Daphne Johnston, associate director of International Student and Scholar Services, or ISSS, actively tries to recruit international students.

Lubarsky attends KU Fit classes 2 or 3 times a week to supplement her workout. Students find time to exercise New fitness classes provide quick workout BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com With midterm exams looming ahead, every night before Kenzie Cordt goes to bed she plans her schedule for the next day. If the day is busy, Cordt said, she sometimes has to let something slide. But one thing she refuses to sacrifice is exercising. Cordt, St. Marys senior, said her passion for working out began in high school, but staying vigilant about exercising in college has proved difficult and required more creativity. "Sometimes, if I have a test or something, and I don't have a lot of time I'll take my flashcards to the gym," Cordt said. "I'll do the stationary bike and study those while I'm working out or read while I'm on the treadmill. Even if it's just for 20 minutes, if I can do 20 on the treadmill and lift some weights, I'll feel a lot better." Cordt isn't alone in her struggle to fit fitness into her life at the University. Students across campus who share her struggle are resorting to alternative techniques. Amber Long, fitness coordinator for Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, said one option for working out in a short time frame is "express-type fitness," a technique where students stop trying to always exercise the entire body and instead focus on a different muscle group each day. Long said KU Fit classes traditionally run close to an hour, but that these shorter, condensed classes have become equally as popular this semester among students. The shortest class, "Completely Core," runs only 20 minutes and centers entirely on exercising abdominal and back muscles. "We've been probably doing those shorter classes for a couple years, but its something that's coming into the industry more and more," Long said. "I think during college, that's a necessity because you're constantly straining yourself..." ed the "Completely Core" class this week, Madeline Johnson, said she especially appreciated that the class was on Tuesday nights. Johnson, Overland Park junior, has class from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., performs Watkins scholarship One of the students who attend- KENZIE CORDT St. Marys senior hall dinner manager duties at 6 p.m. and then sits as the vice president for an All Scholarship Hall meeting. "On Tuesdays, I'm very busy; Johnson said. "Normally, I like longer workouts. For Tuesday, it's nice." Long said numerous exercise options also existed outside the gym for students pressed for time. She said that most fitness magazines, including Men's Fitness and Shape magazine, included workouts that students could complete in their apartments, and that a variety of videos workouts are also available. She said students who preferred to exercise outside and didn't have much time could try interval training, a type of workout she said was shorter but more intense. "That's kind of just alternating between sprinting and walking or jogging." Long said. "You're exercising at an intense rate and then backing off that intensity to kind of recover and alternating those types of things." Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said regardless of how students exercised, they needed SEE EXERCISE ON PAGE 3A CAMPUS Hanson to play concert after barefoot walk BY MICHELLE SPREHE msprehe@kansan.com Don't be alarmed when a mass of people begin walking barefoot down jayhawk Blvd. Friday afternoon, they're doing it for a good cause - and a free Hanson concert. The tour is partnered with TOMS shoes Talk the Walk campaign which raises money for AIDS research and donates shoes to children in need. Hanson, the brother rock band that rose to fame in the 90s, will play a few acoustic songs on the lawn of Allen Fieldhouse as a part of their "Use Your Sole" tour. "It seemed like college campuses were a really appropriate place to be where people of our generation are essentially taking time to figure out what they're going to do with their lives," said Zac Hanson, the youngest of the brothers. Hanson is playing at the Beaumont in Kansas City, Mo. Friday night and decided to make a pit stop on campus to raise awareness about its causes to college students. Registration for event is free. This walk is expected to have about 500 participants and is an official walk on the tour but individuals can organize their own walks. "I think people are saying to themselves, 'I want to be a part of things that matter.' Zac said. "We're just inspired by the amount of people who on their own have gone out and hosted walks. Some people have five people walk and some people have 1,000." After Hanson plays, the brothers will participate in a short question and answer session with the crowd. Michael Mahon, New Braunsels, Texas, junior, works with the TOMS Shoes student campus group and became involved after hearing about the shoe company.

Growing marijuana at home becomes a problem SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco police are cracking up on a boom in indoor marijuana growing operations in an unlikely part of the city. Since March, police say they have raided 36 homes and warehouses teeming with pot plants, mostly in the sedate Sunset District near the Pacific Ocean. Dozens of marijuana dispensaries sell pot to patients with a doctor's recommendation. But police Capt. Paul Chignell says the grow houses bring the threat of fire and violence. Officers have seized 20 guns, more than 8,000 plants and nearly $85,000 in the raids. Associated Press Spotlight on Organizations BY THEA GLASSMAN tglassman@kansan.com It's already dark at 7 p.m. on a Sunday night, and Oldfather Studios, nestled in its own little nook off the corner of ninth and Avalon streets, looks completely dead. Yet inside, the building bubbles with life and energy. Seated in a makeshift screening room, a large group of students is laughing loudly at the flickering images before them, letting out cheers of approval as the credits roll and the names of their peers appear on screen. It's High School Movie Night and the members of KU Filmworks have come prepared. Loaded with films shot when they were in high school, students exhibit an array of movies ranging from "Spiderman PSAs" to "Dating for Dummies". Founded in 1999, KU Filmworks was created by students who felt they were not given the freedom they needed to make the movies they wanted. In turn, they formed an organization that encouraged aspiring filmmakers to work together and create any type of project they liked. "You do what you want to do" Jessica White, Topeka freshman and Filmworks member said. "If you have an idea, you check out equipment and make a movie." While most members arrive with a love of film, others find their passion along the way. Before coming to the University, Kim Lopez, Bucklin freshman, changed her major from film to history. And yet, "Being in Filmworks reminded me why I wanted to be a film major in the first place," Lopez said. shortly after arriving, she had another change of heart. "And I pretty much knew the second I walked into Groups are warned to be prepared to answer questions, but those who are veterans of KU Filmworks have dealt with far bigger pressures. The group meets every Sunday night at 7 p.m. at Oldfather Studios. Every pitch night members propose a five-page script to a jury of officers in the hopes of getting it produced. While many attribute the success of the group to its officers, Chelsea Alderman, Lawrence sophomore and president of the group, said she believed every member was responsible for the continuing effectiveness of the organization. "If you have an idea, you check out equipment and make a movie." "It's run by everyone," Alderman the door that I wanted to switch back" JESSICA WHITE Topeka freshman Alderman does believe, however, that she plays a main role in keeping interest in the group high. said. "It's up to everyone to keep it going." Alderman said. "I want to try and do a lot of production with them," "This is really the place to go over fears you have with working with people. Because if you want to have a film career you need to know how to work with people."

The Wellness Resource Center held "Alcohol, Intimacy and Consent," an event aimed at educating students about sexual safety while under the influence of alcohol. BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com The Wellness Resource Center held an event yesterday to educate students about the dangers and consequences of having unprotected sex under the influence of alcohol. Students who attended the event, called "Alcohol, Intimacy and Consent," were offered condoms and informational pamphlets on how to increase personal safety while drinking. "If people do choose to participate in sexual activity, we hope that they would take the extra step to protect themselves," said Health Educator Jenny Mckee. "It's important to know the possible negative consequences when you combine alcohol and sexual activity." McKee said many students might make decisions under the influence of alcohol that they wouldn't have made otherwise, like using protection or even having sex at all. "The next day you wake up, and you haven't gone through that thought process in a sober manner. You have to deal with it the next day" she said. The event offered "Safer Sex Kits," which included two condoms and lubricant, as well as instructions for how to use condoms and dental dams. McKee said students who lived in residence halls already had access to these, and therefore had access to the major components needed for safe sex. McKee said there were real dangers to having unprotected sex. In particular, certain sexually transmitted infections, like HPV, HIV and herpes, cannot be cured. In addition, chlamydia can cause infertility in women if left untreated. But she said infections weren't the only danger of mixing sex and alcohol. Annie McKay, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, cited a staggering statistic: one in four college-aged women are victims of sexual assault every year. "Unfortunately, sexual assault will impact the majority of KU students at some point while they're here," she said. "We want them to know that there are resources on campus." Although much of the information was directed toward women, the event offered brochures for men as well. McKay said the matter of sex and consent was important for everybody to understand. "The consent piece of it is really on both men and women," she said. "And also, so we're not exclusively heterosexual about it, it's been in queer relationships as well." Ashley DeSandre, Pocono Lake, Penn., junior, has worked for the Wellness Center for three years. She said students were usually surprised by these facts. "I don't think people really, think of it on a serious level," she said. "When they see those stats, I think people are like, 'Wow, really?' This is a big deal. It really does bring it home and I think it will make them more aware of their situations." Mckee said she thought students appreciated knowing that they had resources on campus and within the community. "Alcohol and sex are two of the most prevalent health-related concerns that college students have," she said. "Knowing that someone is out there to help you — us or the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center — I think it gives students a peace of mind." — Edited by Jonathan Hermes BY THE NUMBERS: 1 out of 5 people abandu- safe sex practices when they're drunk The Chance Companies 0 percent of college students admit to having sex drunk when they wouldn't have had sex sober The Bacchus Network 1 out of 4 college-aged women are victims of sexual assault every year Annie McKay, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center 1 out of 2 students who are sexually active will contract a sexually-transmitted infection before they graduate. — Genprobe-lab testing facility KU uses 19- to 24-year-olds are associated with the highest prevalence of periodic heavy alcohol consumption during the life span. — brad21.com~"Be.

The main broke at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesdav morning Streets flood, buildings lose water after water-main break BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Water rushed down West Campus road after a water-main break Wednesday. "I was just walking to class, but I couldn't cross the street because there was so much water," Katie Summers, Tula junior, said. In the meantime, the watermain break caused two campus buildings, one fraternity and several off-campus houses to go without water for about seven hours. Some of those affected seemed to take it in stride. Faucher and her co-workers walked from their office in Carruth-O'Leary Hall to the Jayhawk Bookstore to use the restroom or get water throughout the morning. "At least it's a nice day for a walk," said Ola Faucher, director of the department of human resources and equal opportunity, whose office is in one of the buildings without water. The break occurred at about 7 a.m. at Stratford and West Campus roads. Carruth-O'Leary Hall, Joseph R. Pearson Hall and Janette Klamm, utilities programs manager for the city of Lawrence, said she did not know the exact cause of the break, which she said was "relatively small." She further said that a break had happened on that line before and guessed that age caused Wednesday's break. The damage and repairs cost the city a little more than $1,000. Klamm said.

"Our formative years are through our early 20s," Quinlan said. "Once somebody gets into an exercise habit, and they feel the benefits, the increased energy, the less stress, they feel better about themselves because their clothes fit better. That's a positive reinforcement to continue that throughout life." their bodies on a regular basis also can experience useful benefits for when they return to their studies. Chris Crandall, professor of psychology, said studies have proved that students who set aside their books to condition "With respect to people who are distractible, exercise can reduce your distractibility because being a little bit tired actually helps you focus." Crandall said. "It's not a cure, but it does help." Crandall said the time it took to achieve these benefits in a workout was minimal — 30 minutes to an hour is all that's needed. "We try to keep on the radar screen through e-mail and networking" Johnston said. "We want them to know about KU and encourage students on coming here."

That's the difference between winning and losing in a lot of cases. It's also the difference in a coach keeping his job and being fired" In case you're wondering how one of Kansas football's most recognizable figures can so unabashedly support the same school that fired him — twice — Fambrough says it's not hard. Sure, there were times when he was frustrated with the hand he was dealt as a head coach. But that's well past him now, only remaining as a distant memory. After all, Fambrough said, he's still a Jawhawk. "This is the team and the school that I dearly love. I wouldn't ever want to be anywhere else." "I always say that I'm probably the only coach that ever got fired twice from the same school," Fambrough said. "And that's not a record that you want to have. Has that turned me against the University? No, absolutely not." --part of KU football for so long." Cantrell said. "If you met him once, he remembered your name. It didn't matter what position you were. You were there, you were wearing the For a couple days a few years back, something wasn't right. There were pads, whistles blowing and football players zigzagging across the field. From an outsider's perspective, it looked much the same as any other practice. But it wasn't. Ryan Cantrell said something — or rather, someone — was missing. Fambrough, who Cantrell said nearly suffered a heat stroke during an exceptionally hot stretch of weather, wasn't able to attend practice that week. DON FAMBROUGH Former coach "It's just weird when he's not out there because he's been such a big uniform and he loved you for that." Cantrell stepped onto Kansas' campus six years ago with little perspective. He was a Texas boy who knew little about Kansas vs. Missouri, about any rivalries really, and back then he didn't really care. Then Cantrell met Fambrough perhaps the most passionate participant of the Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. For years, Fambrough has delivered a pregame motivational message before the Jayhawks play the Tigers. And with each year the tales of Fambroughs talks grows a little more. "His speeches before Missouri are absolutely legendary," Cantrell said. "He called me out one year and he was saying, 'Dammit Cantrell, it was your damn uncle that came over here and burned down this city!" Added Allen, who also allowed Fambrough to speak before Missouri games: "It sent goose bumps up and down everyone who listened to him. He has a great passion for the rivalry and a great love for Kansas. He could have convinced you that Quantrill played for Missouri." Kansas' players during practice. On most days, though, Fambrough is more than happy to be on the sideline, simply observing But there's more to the story than a love for football. For Fambrough, who has been so heavily involved in football throughout his life — and who has been long removed from his coaching days — the ability to remain around the game means more than simply watching football. "For an old man and an old coach, that means a lot," Fambrough said. "This is the team and the school that I dearly love. I wouldn't ever want to be anywhere else. From somebody coming from Texas, that's speaking pretty good words." "He had that ability to bring you along and really make you feel like you were home." While Fambrough is walking back toward Memorial Stadium one morning, a man in a Kansas football shirt walks up and introduces himself. The man is giddy, saying it's a pleasure to meet such a Kansas football legend. He then points to RYAN CANTRELL Former offensive lineman a nearby apartment complex. "If you're here before the game Coach, you're more than welcome to stop by our tailgate if you want," the man says. Fambrough laughs, pats the man on the back and graciously says he'll be there on Saturday. 'It's all part of the connection between Fambrough and the football program. "The way that he portrays being a Kansan, it's almost like 'we'll take anybody,' That's the mind-set of the whole football team," Cantrell said. "As soon as you're there, you're a Kansan, you're a Jayhawk. He had that ability to bring you along and really make you feel like you were home." Edited by Betsy Cutcliff NBA Knicks hope to make run at free agents like LeBron SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Mike D'Antoni could be forgiven if he sometimes catches himself daydreaming of Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire executing the perfect pick-and-roll. When he opens them again, he sees a New York Knicks team that is given little chance of winning big this season. Yet D'Antoni vows to stay patient and positive. "You have to have a plan," D'Antoni said Wednesday. The plan Mike D'Antoni alluded to was the Knicks' game of being in position to make a run at LeBron James or some other free agent next summer, when a deep class of free agents will be available. To do that, they traded away their top two scorers, then did little to upgrade this summer, choosing to save their money instead. Associated Press Be ImmunoSmart!

He will occasionally visit the bathroom during practice and have to make up the sprints he missed. "It just cracks me up because Mario's always got some ailment or something not feeling right with his stomach." Reed said. The intense and early mornings also take a toll on the team's energy during the day. Most have early classes and few have time for midday rests. With a tumultuous freshman schedule as well as tutoring, Johnson found a way to sneak in his first nap Tuesday and he found it accomplished very little. "If you know Mario, he's a funny character," Morningstar said. "He'll say some off the wall stuff that you won't expect which makes everyone start laughing." "Today was the first time I was able to go take a nap for about 40 minutes and I don't feel like I went to sleep," he said. "It felt like I just blinked and got right back to the day." Senior guard Sherron Collins, freshman guard Xavier Henry and sophomore forward Marcus Morris have all impressed their teammates so far, but the boot camp has yet to yield any significant standouts. The whole team is standing out together. "I think everyone has had a good two days," Morningstar said. "There's not one player that's holding us down."

With 10 players already on their injury report, coach Tom Coughlin found a new name on the list Wednesday: backup hallback Ahmad Bradshaw, who rushed for 104 yards in New York's 24-0 win over Tampa Bay this past weekend. ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The banged-up New York Giants have another injury to worry about. Bradshaw walked to practice wearing a boot on his right foot to protect sprains to his ankle and foot. He did not work out. It's an old college injury, Bradshaw said, remembering his initial injury — a high ankle sprain — came on a toss play during his freshman year at Marshall. "You know what. I have played through a lot of pain during college, when I first injured it." Bradshaw said. "I have just been able to do that ever since. It always hurts during the game. There is a lot of pounding in the game, somebody might fall on it a different way." Bradshaw said the injury forced him to miss two games as a freshman, but he has dealt with the pain ever since.

"I do a lot of cutting and I am always on the edge of my feet and it is a lingering thing for a running back," said Bradshaw, adding the pain he was feeling Wednesday was nothing compared to what he felt in college. While the Giants remain optimistic Bradshaw will play, the reality is that most players who have missed practice this season have not played on Sundays.

Frodevaux won 2 gold medals in the State Games of martial arts competition. Alum brings home pair of gold medals BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Ben Froideaux, standing only 5 feet 7 inches tall, is not the most intimidating person at first glance. So when the 1988 Kansas graduate enters the weapons competition of Kobudo, he uses the Bo, a six-foot-tall wooden staff. "In the minds of the judges, if you use a bigger weapon you appear very large and powerful," he said. In August Froidevaux won two gold medals in karate at the State Games of America in the male kobudo (weapons) $ 18+ $ advanced and male kata (forms) $ 35+ $ advanced sections. The scoring is based on a 1-10 scale, but participants usually see their scores in the high sixes or low seven. Froidevaux received a highly unusual 8.0 on one judge. Froideaux was an active member of the University's Karate Club. However, when he moved to Switzerland after graduation he couldn't find a place to study karate, so he took up Judo. "A lot of martial arts tend to be very statie in their way of thinking," he said. "I try to train in other sports such as fencing, yoga, and aerobics to find universal truths to help out my competitive sports." Now he is the leader of the Karate Club at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo. As leader of the club, Froideaux is able to pass on his knowledge to younger competitors. Zhuxian Zhou, one of his students, won a gold medal at the 2008 western regional state games. "The biggest thing that I learned from Frodeaux is his strong spirit," Zhou said. "A lot of times back home I would want to stop when tired, but here because of the strong spirit I am not tired." Another of his pupils, Yan Ma, also known as Viva, said learning karate from Froideaux has helped her in her outside life as well. "The really hard training helps me overcome my tough problems," she said. "Over the summer I was in a car accident, but my good physical condition and good reflexes helped me to avoid major injury." In addition to being great exercise and fitness, karate has helped Froidevaux in other ways. "What you learn in training is how to fall, not be afraid of falling, and use the ground as your friend," he said. But the most important thing to take away, according to Froidevaux, is "good character, good spirit and respect." — Edited by Tim Burgess COLLEGE FOOTBALL Yankees announce New York City bowl game NY ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Yankees' managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, right, receives a football and helmet from Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, second from left, as Big East commissioner John Marinatto, second from right, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, left, look on, during a news conference Wednesday. The Big 12 and Big Eight will play in a bowl game at Yankee Stadium beginning in 2010. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The teams are set, one from the Big East, one from the Big 12. The site: The new $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium. Now all the new bowl game in the Bronx needs is a name before its debut in December 2010. "If you're looking for suggestions, maybe we should call it the Jeter Bowl," Bronx Borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. said Wednesday at a news conference to announce the bowl. The leagues and the New York Yankees have a four-year agreement in place, running through the 2013 season. The payout to each team will be about $2 million. For the Yankees, they get another event they hope will fill their 57,545-seat stadium. "The game underscores our promise to use Yankees Stadium year-round," said Yankees president Randy Levine, who presided over a gathering at the stadium that included Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner and the commissioners from each conference. The Yankees had already struck a deal with Army for the Black Knights to play four regular-season games at the stadium in the next five years That starts next season with a game against Notre Dame. The Big East will send either its third or fourth selection to the Yankee Stadium bowl game. The Big 12 will send its seventh The Big East was a logical fit for the game. selection. If the Big 12 does not have enough bowl eligible teams, Notre Dame has agreed to take its place, providing it is available. The game will be played between Christmas and New Year's Day. Though the league has become more far-flung in recent years with the additions of South Florida, Cincinnati and Louisville, it's roots run throughout the Big Apple. "The Big East has long time recognized New York city as its home," Big East commissioner John Marinatto said. The Big East has been playing its basketball tournament at Madison Square Garden since 1983. Big 12 commissioner Dan Bee- be said that the Bronx bowl was "The game underscores our promise to use Yankees Stadium year-round." RANDY LEVINE Yankees president a late addition to the Big 12's schedule, but it was too good to pass up. "This is an opportunity to put our brand, our football, in the biggest market in the world," he said. The Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., was bumped from the conference's bowl lineup to make room. The Yankee Stadium game has no title sponsor yet, though Levine said several of the companies that already have relationships with the Yankees have shown interest. Considering signs for Master Card, State Farm, Gatorade. ter Carli, son Pepsi and Sony adorn the outfield walls at Yankee Stadium, sponsorship should not be a problem. The game does not have a television home yet, but if nobody is interested — which is unlikely — the Yankees' YES network could step in. The game needs to be certified by the NCAA in April, but that's a formality. This will be the first bowl game played in the Northeast since the 1981 Garden State Bowl at Giants Stadium located in East Rutherford, N.J. scarves. "We'll play in whatever conditions. We'll put on ice skate instead of cleats." Most bowls are played in cities with mild or warm weather or in domes. DAN BEEBE Big 12 commissioner The Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, is the most obvious exception, though it can get chilly in places such as Nashville, Tenn., and Dallas around the holiday season. Still, the teams invited to the Yankee Stadium bowl — and their fans — better bring their "I've played games in snow and ice, and it's fun," Beebe said. "The opportunity for our youngsters to come here, whether there is snow or ice or whatever, to come to the biggest market in the world ... is too great to pass up." "We'll play in whatever conditions. We'll put tie skates on instead of cleats." The original Yankee Stadium was home of the NFL's Giants from 1956-73 and the site of college football games, many involving some of the greatest Army and Notre Dame teams, from the early-to-mid 1900s. The Gotham Bowl was played there in 1962. Nebraska, now a member of the Big 12, beat Miami 36-34. With the return of college football, Bloomberg said that he is hoping for a couple of tickets to the game, no matter how cold it gets. "What's strange is football in warm weather," he said. "This is a sport where you've got to go out there and bundle up. That's part of the fun of it." GM offers a discount to college students and recent grads? NO WAY. WAY. 2010 Chevy Cobalt WAY.

Blood donation guideline is outdated and discriminatory EDITORIAL BOARD CLEARWATER Beach Last week, more than 1,000 University students stepped up to save a life. For all of them, it was as easy as donating a single pint of blood to save nearly three lives. Though students should be lauded for their efforts, one outdated donation rule needs to be re-examined. TANNER GRURRS/KANSAN It is a single rule in a long list of Red Cross guidelines, but its wording influences numerous people: If you are "a male who has had sexual contact with another male, even once, since 1977," you are not allowed to donate blood. Established in 1992, this rule is extreme and outdated. Having been first associated with gay males in 1981, HIV quickly became a disease known worldwide. It created a scare for all instances Today, we know that unprotected sexual contact is not the only way that HIV is spread. Sharing needles, mother-to- of unprotected sexual contact. child transmission in the womb and even breastfeeding can further the spread of the virus. Sexually active gay males should not be one of the few high-risk groups banned from donating, especially when all of the blood is tested for infection before being given to a patient in need. In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a study that analyzed HIV reports Among 13- to 24-year-olds, African Americans accounted for 55 percent of all HIV infections. Men who have had sex with other men (of all ethnicities) accounted for 42 percent of the positive diagnoses. In addition, young women (of KANSAN'S OPINION all ethnicities) account for 40 percent of HIV infections. are not restricted, even though statistics show they are just as likely to be infected by HIV as gay men. This rule needs to be re-examined, as it is outdated and also discriminatory against gay men who want nothing more than to help save human lives. Despite this rule, last week's blood drive was successful. Donor Recruitment Representative Jim The guidelines for African Americans and young women Sajevic said the blood drive had set a goal of 1,000 units of blood for the week. They surpassed that goal, collecting 1,004. Sajevic was very happy with the end-result. "People need to understand that donating blood saves lives, and that 1,004 units of blood has the potential to save over 2,000 lives," Sajevic said. "To save 2,000 lives in a week's time — how do you put a value on that?" Every student who gave up their time and their blood should be proud that they participated. Unfortunately, gay men cannot be grouped among the donors, simply because of a rule established nearly 20 years ago that is both biased and old-fashioned. Rewarding the rule to just target participants of unsafe sex would be a safe solution that is not homophobic or prejudiced against one group. Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board POLITICS Old faces could fill new spots in Kansas politics There will be plenty of new faces in Kansas politics in a few years. Actually, there will probably be some old faces, but in new spots. So if you only pay attention to Governor and U.S. Senators, they will be new and exciting. Everyone else will just be watching a couple of people get promotions. But enough of that, let's look at the exciting new and old faces that want you to think they are the next big thing. The area in the biggest state of flux at the moment is Governor. Kathleen Sebelius stepped down earlier this year to take a position in President Obama's cabinet, giving her lieutenant, Mark Parkinson, an early promotion. Now-Gov. Parkinson has done nothing but say that he won't run for a full term in 2010, which puts Kansas Democrats in a bind as to who they can put up against the Republicans' long-annoted candidate, a guy named Sam Brownback. The two who have at least speculated on their chances as the Democratic candidate for governor are current Democratic Party Chair Larry Gates and OCHEN 1 LIBERAL LOUDMOTH REN COHEN Because Brownback is running for Governor — presumably avenging his humiliating 2008 presidential bid — his Senate seat will be open, and U.S. Representatives Jerry Moran and Todd Tiarht have spent the last several months sniping at each other for it. Because the Republican primary race for Senate seems to have come down to them, it seems that the GOP will be running State Sen. Chris Steineger (6th District). If the primary comes down to these two, expect Gates to win easily over Steiner, who is not exactly popular with Democrats outside of Wyandotte County because of his unyielding support for the new coal plants in Holcomb, fiscal conservatism and the genuine contempt he has shown for "intolerant" young Democrats who do not buy into his vision for Kansas, whatever it may be. either a conservative western Kansas Representative with ties to C-Street, or ... the exact same thing. Meanwhile, the Democrats currently have to choose between former journalist Charles Schollenberger, or maybe Thomas Wiggans, a pharmaceutical executive from California. (How did he get in the picture?) A few bright spots do exist for 2010. State Rep. Raj Goyle, a Harvard educated Wichita native is running for the 4th District of the U.S. House of Representatives, the seat Tiarht is vacating to run for Senate. Scott Seel is looking at a bid for the state house in the 45th District. New people do in fact exist in Kansas politics, and so far have not done anything to arouse my cynical nature, (give it time.) With months before any primaries hit, few "new and exciting" types have come up. This in itself isn't to detract from anybody in any of the major races, but it makes me wonder whether we are actually going to see something new as they take their shots at each other for the next several months. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Chet Compton's recent column, "Climate change: A history of fear," argued that both global warming and man made global warming are not true. While I would love to argue his assertions, there is a more important issue here. Listen to experts on climate change Every unfamiliar person who argues against a scientific theory falls into the same predictable traps. More often than not, simple unfamiliarity with how the natural sciences work is the problem. The first is the "consensus trap." Consensus is not formed by sheer The second is the "changing science trap." Oddly enough, this can be found happening both ways. Either "science" changes too much, or it does not change enough. First and foremost, science changes, always. There is no well-known theory today that has not been numbers of scientists, but by experts in the very specific field agreeing to something that has been well proven with research published in peer-edited journals. The amount of effort required to convince your colleagues that your hypothesis is even worthy of attention is enormous. And remember, the number of scientists who have expertise in any particular field is limited. challenged, revised and modified. It's how science works. Finally, there is the "conspiracy trap." Most people will not call it that, but it's true. Whether it be "global warming is a hoax" or "evolution is a lie," if there is no evidence backing up the assertion, it's a waste of time. Circumstantial evidence is not enough. These pitfalls may seem like valid arguments, but they're not. Science must be left to the scientists. Only they have the considerable training needed to handle the complex investigations that make up science. Patrick Totaro is a senior from New York. RELIGION Let's talk about faith 1 Life in the residence halls holds a certain hazy charm come Friday nights. As students return from nights out at parties, downtown or wherever else, the lobbies and hallways fill up with people, white noise chatter and stories. When I lived in Hasinger, I would often run into kids in my hall and make small talk as the place winded down. We would talk about our nights, upcoming concerts we hoped to see or what we thought that stain on the bathroom tile was. It's not often that such issues are brought up between strangers — let alone in a dorm hallway at 2 a.m. — but I always found it significant when they were. Every once in a while, though, the conversation would swing toward something deeper. Maybe it was a philosophy lecture earlier that day or a novel read in some English class, but something would lead the discussion into some real questions of life, thoughts about faith, God and even doubt. Faith, doubt and spirituality are heavy topics that strike at the core of who we are and how we steer our lives. They're thoughts we often tuck close to our chest, sidestepping passers and watching for cracks in the ground, hoping we don't run into someone else's. But maybe running into each other is just what we need. We've grown up in a culture that increasingly eschews dialogue on faith. The questions are big and the answers difficult, and yet they're ones many of us struggle with at some point in our lives. Perhaps the problem isn't what we are talking about, but how we were talking about it. Maybe we need a fresh approach to the conversation on faith. Surprisingly, such an approach is coming from an entertaining voice. More often associated with beet farms than faith, actor Rainn READ RELIGIOUSLY JOSH HAFNER "I am sick of spirituality being airy-fairy, hippie-dippy and precious." Wilson says on the Web site. "I want to de-lamify talking about God and religion." Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute on NBC's "The Office," started a Web site called SoulPancake, an online community focused on creativity, spirituality and everything in between. On a regular basis, Wilson and other Pancake writers pose a question reflecting their thoughts. Web site members are invited to test, stretch and contribute to the conversation with their own ideas, and can even post questions of their own. An ancient Hebrew saying puts it this way, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." But the real beauty of SoulPancake lies in its tone and approach. The site uses art and humor to disarm readers, making weighty conversations about faith, doubt and God accessible without taking itself too seriously. Though SoulPancake is certainly a fresh place for theological discussion, the underlying point it's conveying shouldn't be missed: When conversation about faith is presented honestly, openly and without pretension, people respond We converse. We debate. We wrestle. And in all of that, we come closer to the truth. So let's open up a new dialogue on faith. At the very least we'll find good conversation, and at the very most, a sharper way to see our world. Hafner is a Great Bend junior in journalism. Slim wardrobe to reduce footprint BLOG: GREEN MY GUY Staring at the mountain of rolled up socks, it finally dawned on me: my boyfriend is a shopaholic. Austin and his 119 T-shirts, 46 pairs of socks, 19 pairs of boxes, five dress shirts, nine sweaters and one tuxedo (it's official ... I actually counted) is the love child of our consumer-driven society and its passionate affair with excess. Though I find nothing wrong with buying nice things that you need or want; it is hard for me to believe that anyone should have enough shirts to last for three months without doing laundry. Yet when we live in a culture that emphasizes rapidly updated material goods, it is easy to see how the average Joe could end up with too much while forgetting the environmental impacts of their purchases. According to the EPA Office of Solid Waste, Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year, contributing to the problem of dwindling landfill space. But the environmental impacts don't stop there. For I'll admit, I have my fair share of T-shirts that I haven't worn since high school, but the important point is that we become conscious of our consumption habits and the impact that they make. Consignment and thrift shops have grown in popularity in recent years due to changing fashion trends as well as the recession. A local Lawrence favorite is Arizona Trading Company, where shoppers can find everything from formal wear to casual to Halloween costumes. Plato's Closet is also another option. each piece of clothing thrown away, it is likely that a new one is purchased, fueling the over-consumption of natural resources. You don't have to be No Impact Man to make an environmental difference. It can be as simple as changing where you get your things and where those things go after you're done using them. For this green girl, she's taking her all-American boy to Plato's Closet tomorrow to see if she can lower his T-shirt count into the double digits. — Janie Chen is a junior from Olathe.

FILM ASSOCIATED PRESS Moore hailed for contribution TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Seated on a platform in a blocked-off street, the founder of the Traverse City Film Festival grinned as Mayor Michael Estes hailed him for boosting the local economy and cultural scene — "with almost no government assistance!" Who was that free-market champion? Michael Moore. Yes, THAT Michael Moore. The Oscar-winning firebrand whose "Roger & Me" attacked General Motors, whose "Sicko" extolled government-run health care. His latest film, "Capitalism: A Love Story", which opens nationwide Friday, blames deregulation for the financial meltdown and shows Franklin D. Roosevelt advocating an expanded welfare state. Yet here was Moore in his festival's fifth season, exchangingpleasantries with business and civic leaders in this largely Republican community, surrounded by fans offering hugs and handshakes. Moore, 55, is widely celebrated — and reviled — as a left-wing scourge of big business. But in this resort town of 15,000 on Lake Michigan, his image is more complex. Since moving to the area six years ago, Moore has become a high-profile citizen and benefactor. Two years later, Moore teamed with author Doug Stanton and photographer John Robert Williams to establish the festival, a godsend for local tourism. The festivals premiere event in July 2005 drew overflow crowds. Moore critics sponsored a competing "freedom film festival," but few attended. It's now a glittering showplace, one of the nation's top-grossing theaters — featuring not just art-house and classic films but broadcasts of the Metropolitan opera and sporting events. Each year, the festival has grown. This year's included 71 feature movies and 50 shorts, panel discussions with filmmakers and classes for youths. An army of volunteers keeps the festival and State Theatre going. GRE™ LSAT™ GMAT™ TEST PREPARATION That’s Right on Target. KU CONTINUING EDUCATION The University of Kansas Register early! Save $100!

LEGAL Michael Jackson's lawyer sues estate LOS ANGELES — The attorneys who successfully defended Michael Jackson against child molestation charges have filed a $341,000 claim against the singer's estate. Court records show attorneys Thomas Mesereau Jr. and Susan Yu filed the claim in Jackson's estate case on Friday. The attorneys defended Jackson against charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at his Neverland Ranch in 2003. A jury acquitted the pop superstar of 14 charges in the case. According to the filing, the fees are for work done between July 2005 and February 2006. Jackson died June 25 in Los Angeles.

This new kind of commercial further blurs the line between program and advertisement and comes as traditional product placements within shows, an early response to fast-forwarding, have become common. "It's definitely groundbreakin' for ABC and NBC," said De nise Ocasio, managing partner of MindShare, the marketing firm that helped Sprint create the spots. "It's not a commercial. It looks and feels and has all the drama and excitement of the show. It is an entertainment experience. It's just brought to you by Sprint." But not everyone is pleased. Peter Horton, executive producer of the short-lived NBC drama "The Philanthropist," said he would hesitate to have another such ad on one of his shows.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY Kansas Athletics NFL Chiefs release players fill in open roster spots KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After a busy day of roster moves, the Kansas City Chiefs are likely to see more coming and going by the end of the week. A busy day of transactions on Tuesday left two open roster spots, which will probably be filled soon. After trading quarterback Tyler Thigpen to Miami for an undisclosed draft choice on Tuesday, the Chiefs (0-3) signed former Arizona tight end Leon Pope. The 6-foot-8, 264-pounder was Arizona's third-round pick in 2006 and spent time with Chiefs coach Todd Haley when Haley was an assistant with the Cardinals. The Chiefs also released cornerback Ricardo Colclough and linebacker Monty Beisel. Tight end Tom Crabtree was released from the practice squad and tackle Chris Patrick was signed for the practice squad. Vick accused of illegally withdrawing millions WASHINGTON — Phila- delphia Eagles quarterback Mi- chael Vick has agreed to repay at least $416,000 that he is accused of illegally withdrawn from a pension plan.

Vick was accused of withdrawing more than $1.3 million from the plan and using the money to help pay penalties imposed on him after his dogfighting conspiracy conviction. Associated Press MORNING BREW Away games fill football's bye week A sizeable opportunity is being missed by the Athletics Department this weekend, a bye week for fall's most profitable sport, football. I was pleased at the opportunity to take in a non-revenue sport or two this weekend while football took its hiatus from the headlines. All that needed to be decided was which fall sport to choose: Soccer? Volleyball? Cross country? Tennis? Rowing? Golf? Turns out that the only sport playing at home this weekend will be softball, whose regular season isn't until spring. This is not a knock on softball No, it is worthy of some love this weekend. After all, its extracurricular slate of games — two at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday and a pair at noon and 4 p.m. Sunday — is the only thing saving campus from being an athletic ghost town. What a missed opportunity. The department far from ignores its non-Big Two sports but could BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com have stood to make a weekend out of this. Soccer has been ranked for much of its season and wrapped up the non-conference portion of the year with an 8-2-1 record. It opens Big 12 play against Texas A&M Friday at 7 p.m. at College Station, Texas before traveling to Austin and playing Texas at 1 p.m. Sunday. A little "Friday Night Lights" on the pitch would have been the nice way to end a week. Cross country will compete in the OSU Cowboy Bamboo 9 a.m. in Stillwater, Okla., volleyball continues its Big 12 schedule against TEXA & M in College Station, Texas, perhaps passing the soccer team along the way. In future years, the right blend of scheduling and promotion could prove fruitful for the school's non-revenue sports. There is no math involved in determining that on a weekend in which football's home again that soccer or volleyball will be challenged to draw fans as if they were the only show in town. That's not to say non-revenue sports don't draw fans while football or basketball is playing, it's just more difficult when energy has been spent tailgating and spending all day out has transpired. The road trips continue with rowing - a sport I've been dying to see for the first time competing in the Boot of the Oklahoma event in Oklahoma City, Okla. But another time, I supposed. An opportunity lost can serve as a reminder to seek out a future soccer game or rowing meet.

Edited by Anna Kathagnarath NFL Chiefs reaching low point in season KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's 2-for-28 losing binge is likely to become 2-for-29 Sunday when the New York Giants tack another painful week onto the sorriest chapter in the history of the Chiefs. The unbeaten Giants are 9½-point road favorites over the winless Chiefs, who are coming off a 34-14 loss to the injury-weakened Philadelphia Eagles. The new regime of general manager Scott Pioli and Todd Haley keeps baling water, shuffling players in and out as fast as they can. As of Wednesday afternoon, there had been seven player transactions in a 24-hour span. Still, the franchise that won 100 games under Marty Schottenheimer in the 1990s is 0-3 for the second straight year and appears headed for a third consecutive calamity of a season. ASSOCIATED PRESS Each of the three seasons has come with its own identity, its own reason for what caused the crash. The Chiefs began headed toward this low point in 2007 when the decision was made, against the wishes of head coach Herm Edwards, to try to coax a second playoff run out of an aging team. Big mistake. Aging very quickly became aged. The Chiefs sank to 4-12, their worst season percentagewise since 1977. The following year, Edwards got permission from general manager Carl Peterson and owner Clark Hunt to root out the old and bring in the new. It was what he and Tony Dungy had done in Tampa Bay, Edwards argued, a rebuilding program based on patience and youth, a bite-the-bullet enterprise that accepted present-day losses because they would inevitably lead to future wins. 7 Big mistake. Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel leaves the field after a game against the Oakland Raiders, in Kansas City. The Chiefs are 0-3 this season. Nothing went right, starting with season-ending injuries in the first few weeks to quarterbacks No.1 and 2. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence! Almost the Weekend!

Shading him from the sun are black sunglasses, the only non-Kansas related items in Fambrough's wardrobe today. jjenks@kansan.com "Hey coach," sophomore tight end Tim Biere says, patting Fambrough on the shoulder. "How are you doing today?" He walks around the outskirts of the field on the way to a tent-covered training table. On the way, he is stopped by packs of players sipping water during a break. So goes a typical practice for Fambrough, the twice-former coach who now spends his days strolling the sidelines as a spectator. He doesn't say much during practices, only offering a few words here and there before the start of drills. t Follow Kansas football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/jjens. But Fambrough stands as a living symbol connecting the Jayhawks' past and present — and, really, the distinction between Kansas' football program and Fambrough has increasingly narrowed through the years. --around Kansas. "He's just one of those people that as soon as you hear his name you associate him with Kansas football," former offensive lineman Ryan Cantrell said. "He is Kansas football." Fambrough, at heart, is a story teller — and his most appetizing stories always seem to revolve At 85, Fambrough is the ultimate historian of Kansas football, his qualifications spanning seven decades as a Jayhawk. His late wife, Del, was a teacher in the Lawrence community. His sonsgraduatedfromtheUniversity. So, too, did Fambrough. Plus, in some capacity, Fambrough spent "His life-blood is at Kansas," former Kansas Coach Terry Allen said. "There's nobody I'm more pleased for with the success of Kansas football than Don Fambrough." 30 years as a coach, including eight years as a head coach. PAGE 10A Yet Fambrough's ties with Kansas football are complicated, filled with equal parts passion and, at times, pure frustration. After serving as an assistant, Fambrough was named Kansas' The next season Kansas finished last in the Big Eight with a 4-7 record. Fambrough was fired. head coach in 1971. In his third season Fambroub won seven games, finished tied for second in the Big Eight and led Kansas to the Liberty Bowl. “There have been disappointments.” Fambrough said. “I don’t "There's nobody I'm more pleased for with the success of Kansas football than Don Fambrough."

Coach Mangino has been given the tools to work with. some coaches — and I experienced that — where we didn't have the tools to work with. Yet we were expected to compete with Oklahoma and Nebraska teams that had so much more than us. That really hurt." Four seasons later, in 1979, Fambrough was rehired as Kansas' head coach. Again, in his third season, he led the Jayhawks to a bowl game, finishing the season 8-4. But, again, Kansas struggled the following season, posting a 2-7-2 record. Fambrough was fired for a second time. Even now, more than 25 years since his final season, there's a hint of frustration behind Fambrough's words. He talks about a lack of support from the higher-ups, how he was expected to defeat the same schools whose facilities and operations continued improving while Kansas stood still. It was a hard realization to fully swallow. "A lot of times, if you don't have the same tools as they,have, then it's almost impossible," Fambrough said. "But the head coach is always in charge. If you win, he's the one who is responsible for that. If you lose, he's the one that's responsible."

SEECAMP ON PAGE 4A COMMENTARY Video game prediction says Kansas will win BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Kansas football is 4-0 heading in to a bye week, and I'm not quite sure what to make of that fact. Sure, being undefended is a good thing. And it's not that a 4-0 start and a comfortable top 20 ranking are bad things. It's just that, unblemished record and all, predicting how the rest of the season might go is every bit as tricky as it was a couple of months ago. Which, for drama's sake, is a perfectly good thing. But it's not so great for sports writers. By this time, we're supposed to have a reasonable grasp of what our team is capable of. Without that knowledge, we can't make the bold predictions that maintain our carefully constructed veil of expertise. Faced with that dilemma, I did the only thing a respectable journalist could do. Before dismissing the idea offhand, let me explain. The video game in question is NCAA Football 2010. And I didn't so much play the game as I simulated it. After all, computers are smarter than humans — it's science — and we trust them to predict plenty of other things already. Why not football as well? Oh sure, plenty of old-timers will swear up and down that football is inherently unpredictable, that there's a human element no computer could ever account for. But do you really want to trust Lou Holtz's demographic on football matters? That's what I thought. So now that we've established my Xbox 360 as a viable predictor of college football results, the question moves to what it sees in Kansas' football future. Predictably enough, it says Kansas will handle Iowa State and Colorado without any trouble. No one need worry about Jake Sharp's health. He plays, and scores two touchdowns in both games. The rest of Kansas' offense performs just as well, and the defense tightens up. Two more easy wins, and the Jayhawks are 6-0 heading into a top 10 showdown against Oklahoma. Despite the painful defeat, Kansas recovers with back-to-back road wins, setting up a decisive battle for the Big 12 North against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers keep it close for a half, but Briscoe and Reesing light up the scoreboard late, leading Kansas to a surprisingly lopsided victory. Which doesn't go so well. Let's just say that Todd Reesing should start stocking up on Advil now, and that Kale Pick should get ready. Kansas, once again ranked in the top 10. travels to Austin, Texas, to face off against the Colt McCoy-less Longhorns. Without their stud signal caller, Texas turns it over five times, gift-wrapping a marquee win for Kansas. Now guaranteed a spot in the Big 12 title game, Kansas still faces Missouri. True to form, Blaine Gabbert puts up impressive numbers, and the Tigers provide a scare. But ultimately Kansas has too much firepower, and wins. Kansas then gets a shot at revenge against Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the only thing Kansas gets is another vicious beating. Despite the loss, Kansas earns yet another BCS berth — a Fiesta Bowl matchup against Georgia Tech. Perhaps aided by the additional practice time, Kansas easily stifles Tech's option offense, on its way to a comfortable win. And there you have it, the results for the rest of Kansas' season. Don't try and argue either. This is science, after all. ) < Edited by Anna Kathagnarath 1 life. and how to have one. Japlay October 1, 2009 life. and how to have one.

I told her it seemed impossible for me to take a full courseload while working 20 hours per week, years. I brought in a handful of college credits from high school and enrolled in the standard 15-hour courseload. I was all set. But at the beginning of my fourth semester, I found myself in a stressful situation. After spending my entire Sunday at the library working on an assignment, I trudged into my apartment late at night, eager to get to sleep. But when I checked my planner to review the next day's schedule, I saw something that made my stomach turn: I had a quiz at 9 a.m. that I hadn't studied (or read) for at all. STANLEY HARRIS I had never considered spending more than four years in college but, as I continued to talk to my sister, the idea began to make more and more sense. So, like Patrick, I made the decision to postpone my graduation date. Like jayplay writer Patrick de Oliveira, I came into college fully expecting to graduate in four especially if I had any hope for a good GPA, and I needed to take 15 hours every semester to graduate on time. She suggested something I hadn't even considered: "Why don't you just take an extra semester?" Now in my last semester, I am nothing but happy with my decision. The extra semester of breathing room allowed me to take a lighter courseload each semester, so I was able to maintain a part-time job and still have time to enjoy college. I was able to devote my summers to internships and I even had the chance to spend a semester abroad. Check out Patrick's story on page 12 about students who have taken more than four years to graduate. You'll find that even though four years is the expected graduation schedule, it isn't always the best one. editor's note // // SEAN ROSNER, EDITOR EDITOR // Sean Rosner ASSOCIATE EDITOR // Alex Garrison tuesday,october 6th DESIGNERS // Laura Fisk, Liz Schutte CONTACT // Mia Iverson, Hailey Osterhaus HEALTH// Kirsten Hudson, Amy Johnson MANUAL // Francesca Chambers, Patrick De Oliveira, Andrea Olsen KRISTEN SCHAAL / THE BLANK$ The Lied Center, 7 p.m., $-$25, all ages **NOTICE** // Hannah DeClerk, Kelci Shipley, Valerie Skubal TUESDAY NITE SWING The Kansas Union, 8 p.m. free, all ages **PLAY** / Sarah Bluvas, Zach Getz.

Gregg Gillis is a biomedical engineer turned full-time musician. Better known as Girl Talk, Gillis throws huge parties anywhere he goes, sampling Top 40 songs from the past and present and combining them to make a new, exciting sound for the audience. Gillis, who will play a sold-out show at Abe & Jake's Landing, E. 6th St., tonight, recently chatted with Jayplay about his unconventional career so far. Jayplay Explain the name Girl Talk. Gregg Gillis: When I was getting going I was really involved in a scene of musicians that were borderline experimental and it was overly serious. I wanted to pick a name that was very pop so I went with a name that sounded like a Disney girl-group of teenagers. To me it just represented something that wasn't in the same world as a guy playing a computer. JP: How did you get into music? GG: I was always into the idea of forming bands as soon as I was 13 or 14 but I didn't have any traditional training. I started a lot of bands and played keyboards or drum machines. I started playing pretty actively in high school. I was involved with electronics and synthesizers and I even did sampling using skipping CDs and cutting cassettes. JP. You lived a sort of double life for a long time, not telling your co-workers that you were flying across the country on weekends to play shows. What was it like when you finally had to tell them? GG: At first I didn't think it was necessary to tell anyone what I was doing, but two or three years later it was starting to blow up and I thought then it was too late to tell them. I had to pick one or the other. I went the obviously more fun route of flying out and partying for a living. I didn't want to seem like a liar or a creep so I just told them that I was quitting to travel and take advantage of my youth, which is kind of related to what I was doing. A lot of people who worked in the Pittsburgh [my hometown] media were cool with not using my real name but about a year later people started freely posting pictures of me and using my real name. So my co-workers saw that and they were really surprised. I think they all think it's hilarious and get a big kick out of it. I don't think they could ever imagined it. JP You're now doing music full time. Do you plan on going back to biomedical engineering? GG: Potentially. It's a little difficult once you start doing music professionally. Money starts factoring into decision making and I never planned out for this to be a career for me. I never made money off of it for six years. It wasn't like I was failing, it was just for fun and something I was passionate about. The fact that it's blown up is great and I'm really happy. I want to do what I can to keep pushing myself musically, keep the whole thing evolving. If I eventually want to stop or no one wants to listen anymore I don't think going back to a cubicle would be failing. Regardless I'll still make music just the way I was making music before. JP: What is your creative process? GG: It's not very intuitive to me. It's trial-and-error-based. I hear things when I'm listening for samples or listening to music for fun. Things jump out at me that I want to use. Anything that has some elements not there, something that I could add something to: vocals, bass lines, melodies. I have a running list of things I want to sample and chop up and every day I sit down and do different things to manipulate them. I'm just preparing tools to make something in the future. Once I have these the second part of the process is trial and error of combining different things and I might try out hundreds of combinations. It's a matter of which fits the best. JP. What is your take on originality? Sampling others' music could be considered unoriginal, plagiarism, etc. GG: I'm a big fan of everything I sample and I try not to be tongue-in-cheek about it. I do believe that if you trace the musical world there is so much music based on something from the past. Here in 2009, it's almost impossible to have a truly original thought. I feel like with all music you reference the past. I know I walk a fine line where it is, to some people, the most original music and to some it might not be. That's part of the excitement for me, to generate that debate to get people thinking about originality. JP. Is there any band or individual you find taboo that you wouldn't sample? GG: I don't think so. For me some of the most sacred music is stuff I grew up listening to in the '90s like Nirvana or Dr. Dre and I've kind of cut those artists to pieces. I'll sample whatever but if there is really a classic band or artist that has a huge cultural impact, for instance, The Beatles, but I didn't listen Contributed photo I'M NOT A DJ Not a DJ, not a biomedical engineer; just call me Girl Talk: Gregg Gillis, 28, starting live a double life of working as an engineer during the week and jetting cross-country to do live performances of his music — energetic, raucous mashups and remixes of other songs — in 2007. He is playing a sold-out show at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St. tonight. to them much growing up and I would be hesitant to cut up something with such an influence that I wasn't familiar with. I just want to make sure I understand [the music] on the same level of the fans. JP The last few shows you've done in Lawrence have sold out the day the tickets went on sale. How did it get that way? GG: It's been a good run. For the past two years or so I would have to say 95 percent of shows have sold out everywhere in the United States. It's been crazy. You never really know how it's going to go. Two or three years ago when it started jumping off for me and the shows were selling out I was very surprised. I thought it was peaking and didn't know if it could get any bigger. As I toured it just got bigger and it's still growing. It's been a really crazy ride. // VALERIE SKUBAL 10 01 09 4 NOTICE WiFi Q&A // MICHAEL IAN BLACK because we have questions. celebrities have answers. Comedian Michael Ian Black says, "You'd have to shit in my mouth to make me really uncomfortable," and you have to believe him. From movies such as Wet Hot American Summer and comedy sketch shows such as The State and Stella, he shows the audience that he has no limit to his humor. The comedian talks to Jayplay about his new sketch comedy show, Michael & Michael Have Issues, who the real headlining Michael is and what he thinks about the University. Jayplay. What inspired Michael & Michael Have Issues? Michael Ian Black: Michael [Showalter] and I have been friends for a long time and we thought it would be fun to do a show based on our lives. We also wanted to do some sketch comedy because we haven't done that for a long time and that's where we got our start. This was a kind of natural way to do both with a sketch show and about our real relationship: best friends who hate each other. JP: You guys are pretty mean to each other on the show. Is your real-life relationship with Michael Showalter as love-hate as it is on the show? MIB: It's obviously a huge exaggeration. Our real relationship is far more love than hate. But there is some hate. I think we have a very competitive relationship in real life and exaggerate it for the show. It's not so far off though. JP: Who really is the headlining Michael? MIB: Well, in terms of who's the more famous and talented, obviously I am. But Michael has his good qualities too. He's good at doodling, I'm clearly the headliner. I spend a lot more time on VH1 than he does. JP: Would you say who you are on the show reflects who you are in real life? MIB: Like everything else, it's an exaggeration. There's nothing on the show that is exactly like it is in real life. At the same time there's nothing so far removed from real life. How much Showalter gets laid is an exaggeration. As far as I know, he's a virgin. He's overcompensating with all the women on the show. JP: Why do you use Twitter so much? MIB: I'm an attention whore. That's the main reason. And I'm trying to get more followers than Weird Al Yankovic. I'm not sure how many he has. We're pretty close. JP: What makes you uncomfortable when doing comedy? MIB; There is very little that makes me uncomfortable. You'd have to shit in my mouth to make me really uncomfortable. I want you to print that. That needs to be your lede. If the article doesn't start with that I'm going to be very upset with you. JP: How do you think your approach to comedy has changed over the years from The State to Stella to Michael Michael? MIB: It hasn't. By the time you're 12 your sense of humor is pretty much what it's going to be. It's just a question of getting better at it. I don't know if I've gotten any better at it. I just keep doing it. The things I was doing with The State make me laugh and will probably make me laugh for the rest of my life. JP: What will your kids think? MIB: I'm sure my kids will be deeply mortified by me when they get old enough to see my work. We made a *Stella* video where we took turns sucking Ms. Claus' dick. I'm sure that won't go over well with my children but what are you going to do? This is who I am. JOHN KELLY JP: Where do you get your inspiration for the sketches you do? MIB: They just happen. People ask that a lot but I don't know how anyone comes up with ideas. They're like the little big bang in your brain. The answer is not 'smoke a lot of weed.' People who assume that smoke a lot of weed themselves and look to justify their behavior. That's a theory. I can't back that up. Contributed photo JP: What did you want to be when you grew up? MIB: A long-haul trucker. When I was growing up in the late '70s that was the coolest thing you could be. There was a TV show called B.J. and the Bear about a long-haul trucker and his chimp. I didn't need the chimp but I felt like I needed the truck. In retrospect I was lusting after the wrong thing. It would be far better to have the chimp than the truck. JP: What were you like when you were in college? MIB; The same. But just with cheaper clothes and an even worse haircut and slightly more acne. JP: What got you to leave college at New York University? From TMNT to cable TV, Michael Ian Black left college to perform as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and has since built a successful career as an actor and comedian. His most recent TV show, Michael & Michael Have Issues, just finished its first season on Comedy Central. MIB: I took a job as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, me and Ben Garant who was in The State. We traveled the country as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I left for a semester and didn't go back. JP: What is your favorite thing you've MIB: done? I would say the Stella TV show. I think it's really good and it's what might be called 'underrated.' JP: Who are your comedic influences? MIB: John Belushi, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy. JP: You've been doing Klondike bar commercials. What would you do for a Klondike bar? MIB: Make Klondike bar commercials. I had never had one before I ate one for the commercials.Terrific. JP: Any new projects we should know about? MIB: Waiting for Comedy Central to decide whether Michael & Michael is up for another season. I'm just writing a book and waiting. But if you have a job for me I'll take it. Michael Showalter and I are going on tour but we're not coming to Kansas, but if you want us to come we can.I like doing colleges. I like Lawrence a lot. JP: Any last words for the University of Kansas? MIB: Just the University of Kansas is my favorite university in the world. There is no better university in Lawrence, Kansas than the University of Kansas. //VALERIE SKUBAL 5 10 01 09 ((⟨⟩⟩) NOTICE OUR ELECTRONIC ADDICTION There are text-messaging rehab facilities in the U.K., The pope has released an official warning about the dangers of facebook abuse and burger king challenges you to de-friend on facebook to get a free whopper.

His or her cell phone is getting contact from the outside world that's just too hard to ignore during those 50 minutes. But now it's not just text messages or phone calls — it could be an e-mail, a Twitter feed or a Facebook notification.

Communicating professionally is one of the reasons she has an iPhone, along with the fun personal aspects. Puhr thinks that at the end of college people must start acting like adults and her iPhone helps her in that process. Nancy Robinson, consumer strategist with a consumer research company, observes trends within the millennial generation. She says the college-aged individual has been using computers with things like instant messenger and e-mail at a very young age. Instant access is something that the current generation has gotten used to: Robinson says that the anytime, anywhere ability to access media, information and personal contact has become the norm. And with smart phones, it's even easier to stay connected. But Robinson says that it's possible to have a good balance of personal time and work time. "You can check social networks and e-mail while you're at school and work and you're not necessarily abandoning it. It's just a blend of both," she says. Another expert thinks our addiction has to do with status and sexuality. Frank McAndrew, professor of psychology at Knox College, believes that Facebook addiction is based on evolution. "In our distant prehistoric past, people who were in tune with the status of other people like who was friends with whom, who is sleeping with whom and which falling outs were pending simply were more socially successful than people who were not good at this," he says. Andrew says these things are a result of the heightened drive to find a mate that young adults have and having access to all of the information on Facebook aids the process. "The problem with the electronic communication is that it offers 24/7 access to this kind of information, while it's indeed highly addictive. If you are not spending time on this and your competitors are, who knows what might happen," he says. So for whatever reason someone can be addicted to technology, a balance is necessary because it's here to stay. → Photo illustration by Amanda Kitsner Photo illustration by Amanda Kitsner 'Has anyone updated yet?

James has long, dark hair and so does Dante. Dante has long, floppy ears and James, well, he says he had to "grow into" his ears when he was younger. It's not unheard of for two close friends such as James and Dante, who live together, relax together and watch TV together, to look alike. But James and Dante are slightly different — Dante is James' dog. To James Hopkins, Overland Park senior, Dante, a 3-year-old beagle, is not just his dog but his best friend. The pair share similar traits and characteristics and sometimes Hopkins even wonders if they could be related. Hopkins is not alone in his love for and apparent similarities to his dog. In fact, research shows many pet owners do in fact look like their beloved canines. Nicholas Christenfeld, professor of psychology at the University of California, San Diego, conducted a study on the subject in 2004. Christenfeld says he and a team of other researchers went to a local park and asked 25 people with dogs to pose for individual snapshots. The researchers separated the pictures of the owners and the pictures of the dogs and scrambled them up so no one could identify which dog belonged to whom. Once scrambled, student volunteers were asked to match the photo of the dog with the photo of the person they guessed owned the dog. The majority of the volunteers were able to match up the correct owner with the correct pet. Christenfeld says it was much easier for the volunteers to determine their guess of ownership when the dogs were purebreds. He says mixed-breed dogs were harder to identify because their owners often don't pick them specifically for their breed. "People do not think to themselves, 'I need a mutt.' Christenfeld says. "Instead they usually search for a pet that they ideally have in mind." Even though the purebreds were easier to determine, some of the mixed-breeds were still paired with the right owner. Christenfeld says the result of the study shows the psychological basis for pet-owner similarities — when people pick their pets, they find one that in some way resembles them. Hopkins and Dante are an example of this phenomenon. And though the study was based on looks alone, Hopkins believes they have very similar personalities as well. "Dante is very sociable," Hopkins says. "He loves hanging out with new people, kind of like me." KU adidas Photo by Ryan Waggoner All in the family. James Hopkins, Overland Park senior, says he resembles Dante, his 3-year-old beagle, in appearance and in personality traits. Research shows many pet owners may pick their dogs based on a subconscious desire to "co-opt parenting urges" with their pets, resulting in Fidos that look and act — at least in small ways — like their owners. Along with Hopkins, Lauren Haskin, Leawood senior, believes that her little puppy Bogart, a "Peekapoo," or Peekanese pooled, could have some resemblance to her. As Bogart rests in Haskin's lap in a bright blue KU jersey, the resemblance is pretty apparent. Haskin explains that even though Bogart is like a "little white cotton ball," he shares a lot of the same facial expressions as her. She says one can tell by just looking at him whether he is happy or uncomfortable, and if he likes or doesn't like somebody. Like Haskin, Bogart has curly hair with big brown eyes to match. "Bogart is also up for trying new things, and is always looking for new things to do," Haskin says. "It is a lot like me. I feel like I have a little minime." Although some may completely agree with the concept, other dog owners remain a bit skeptical. Aric Schultz, Santana senior, says that his feelings about his resemblance to his dog are neutral. He is not sure that he and his yellow lab, Midus, actually look that much alike. Schultz agrees that Midus is medium height and likes to smile, much like himself, but he does not see much beyond that. Schultz says that as far as Paw Print looks go, there's really not much of a striking resemblance. But, the real question is, "Why do we want to buy dogs that look like us?" Do we really love ourselves so much that we need to have little pooches who worship us now look like us? Well, not really. The real reason, Christenfeld says, is that pets actually co-opt parenting urges. That is, people naturally are inclined to nurture and take care of a child. Pets are brought into a person's life to be taken care of, nurtured, fed and taught obedience, much like children. Looking like you, Christenfeld says, is a further resemblance to feeling like you own your own kid, thus driving a linkage between you and your pet. So, thinking about buying a dog? If you're a tall blonde, you may want to buy a lab. If you are short with curly black hair, a toy poodle may suit you well. And if you are a giant with short hair and a long nose, a Great Dane may be up your ally. Regardless, if you're thinking about buying a dog, go take a good hard look in the mirror. Paw DOGS, LIKE CHILDREN, WILL POUT WHEN YOU LEAVE THEM OUT Dogs car be your best friend, but don't try to pull a fast one on them. According to a recent article published online by MSNBC, Friederike Range, from the University of Vienna and his team of researchers found that dogs react to inequality. Range says that the researchers gave the dogs unfair amounts of rewards. The dogs who did not receive any type of reward actually stopped playing with the ones who did. The findings show that dogs are sensitive to unequal treatment. To keep your dog happy, avoid treating him any differently than the rest of your clan. 7 10 01 09 ( ) ( ) NOTICE celebritweets // BO BURNHAM (boburnham) Twitter musings of the rich and/or famous.

But for some people the colored buttons just don't cut it. For anyone who craves a limelight a little brighter than the glow of their television screens, Lawrence has music shops that offer everything you need to take your musical aspirations out of the plastic and into reality. Here's a look at three of them. Richard's Music Company, 15 E. 8th St., is perfect for the beginner musician. Even if you have no clue what frets or pickups are, the friendly staff at Richard's is ready and willing to answer any questions you may have. The long-established store has been through many incarnations in Lawrence since its inception as Richardson's Music Shop in the late 1950s. Over the years the store dropped the "son's" but maintained the motto of affordable equipment for anyone who needs it. Along with quality instruments ranging from $100 to $1,000, Richard's boasts a roster stacked with brilliant teachers. With half-hour lessons costing only $15, education is affordable. Even if you're an experienced player who simply wants to beef up your skills, guitarists such as John Bell, who has been teaching at Richard's for more than 30 years, is sure to have expertise to share. Richard's is a shop designed to help aspiring musicians who demand frugality. "We're the Mom-and-Pop music shop of Lawrence — we are here for the indie artists and the locals to get them what they need at an affordable price," says Austin Sinkler, Richard's store manager. RICHARD'S MUSIC SHOP Not everyone dreams of being a guitar god; thankfully, Lawrence has a shop for all the future Ringo Stars out there, too. Supersonic Music, 1023 Massachusetts St., has been the premier store in town for drummers since its opening in Aug. 2001. Supersonic offers a range of products that sound great and won't break the bank. There is no "you touch it you buy it" policy at Supersonic — the employees welcome anyone who just wants to come in and "whack on stuff" — within reason, of course. "We're a really percussion-oriented store, but we offer guitar and bass lessons along with lessons for drums," manager Brian Baggett says. Chris Hannemann, Wichita junior, has taken guitair lessons from Baggett for only a few months but says Baggett has helped immensely. "Other teachers I've had are a lot older than me so we can't relate on music we like to play, but Brian is a young guy and a great guitarist," Hannemann says. Experienced freelance teachers such as Baggett teach all Supersonic's lessons; their rates vary but they typically charge $15 per half hour. Supersonic has one of the largest selections of percussion instruments in town. From bongs to doumbeks, they've got it all. SUPERSONIC MUSIC Any experienced musician who's cracked the neck of his or her guitar on stage knows by now that Mass Street Music, 1347 Massachusetts St., is one of the best places in town for repairs. The iconic shop began in 1978 with owner Jim Baggett (no relation to Brian Baggett at Supersonic). The original shop at 7th and Michigan streets had the less-than-surprising name Michigan Street Music. Today, Mass Street Music's focus on restoring high-end guitars hasn't changed and the store offers a large collection of top-quality fretted instruments. With a knowledgeable staff, Mass Street Music can field any questions you have about a purchase. Ben Antes, Kansas City, Kan., senior, says Mass Street Music has his business because of their top-notch customer service and because whenever he goes in he never feels like he can't try out even the nicer guitars. Many guitars at Mass Street Music are considered "boutique guitars." These are either vintage models or collectables, which can cost more than $20,000. If you're not in the market to shell out more for an instrument than you do for your tuition, the business also offers guitars made by reputable manufacturers at a more affordable price. "We try to buy instruments that are the best that can be found for beginners or pros," Jim Baggett says. "I spend as much time looking for a $200 guitar as I do a $20,000 guitar." MASS SHOULDER BREAKER With so many great options for quality and affordable instruments in town there's no reason any aspiring musician shouldn't give playing a shot. It takes a strong will and hours of dedication but if you have it in you, music is something you can do for the rest of your life. So before you go and pick up your copy of The Beatles: Rock Band, think about putting that money into something that you won't be sick of once you reach the last level. And you won't have to bother learning that Liverpool accent. Jp BOTTOM OF THE BARREL.

Citing a balance of influences that include Styxx, Van Halen, The Beatles and many others, the power trio's sound could be described as progressive rock, although Liston wouldn't call it that. "We're more a rock band with a radical flare," he says. The Atomic Blues, who just signed with independent label Red Hot Records, also show a good balance when writing their own material. Both Ashe, who plays guitar and sings lead vocals, and Blessing, who plays bass, bring ideas to the table and everyone works to piece it together. "Nick can see the larger idea — he has, like, our next three albums planned out. Tom is a little more explosive. So it's all there, and we just glue everything together," Liston says.

PRESERVE this weekend // TALLGRASS PRAIRIE NATIONAL Venture out of the Lawrence bubble and into the great open prairie — the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, that is. Located in the Flint Hills in northern Chase County, the Tallgrass Prairie was established in 1996 and is the only National Park dedicated to preserving the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. With more than 10,000 acres, the park offers five trails, ranging from one to four miles long. Visitors can also explore different landmarks, including a ranch house and barn, that speckle the prairie. Katie Oberhaler, Wichita senior, explored the preserve when she hiked one of the frontcountry trails in May. Oberhaler believes the Tallgrass Prairie is a great place for students to go to escape Lawrence for a day. "Students — especially those from Kansas but not rural towns — drive through that area and never stop to realize how beautiful it is," Oberthaler says. "It gives you a better appreciation of the Kansas landscape." Of course, you may want to check the weather before you head into the prairie; Oberthaler and her friends unknowingly hiked around during a tornado watch. "I'd like to go back," she says. "Without the tornadoes." The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, located near Strong City, is an hour and a half southwest of Lawrence. The park is open year-round from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free. // SARAH BLUVAS 1970 Contributed photo Pranelaxing.

But what's preventing students from completing their majors on time? // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA AUTHENTIC 7401 Decisions, decisions — and please be quick. Students often are forced into more-than-four-year graduation plans because they choose to drastically change their majors or because they have to re-start a new major after not being accepted into professional schools. Photo illustration by Jerry Wang When I first arrived at the University in the fall of 2005 with 4,121 other freshmen, I thought I had my college career sorted out. From the start of my freshman year I would take a consistent load of at least 15 credit hours and go to summer school so that I could earn degrees in journalism and environmental studies by Mav 2009. But on May 17, 2009 — the day I was supposed to graduate — I was at home barbecuing with my roommates while the procession of students made its way down the Hill. A distant relative sent me a congratulatory e-mail and I had to reply explaining why I was taking an extra year to graduate. I told him that by the middle of the second semester of my freshman year I had realized environmental studies was not for me, so I replaced it with history and added two minors: French and peace and conflict studies. Also, I realized that going back to my home country (Brazil) and visiting friends and family during the summer was worth more than catching up on credit hours. Graduating in four years became impossible. I'm hardly in the minority. Not many of my friends got to walk down the Hill when their time had come. In fact, in the last 15 years, fewer than one out of three full-time students graduated in four years, despite the University's goal to have most students out on time. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little brought up the issue in her first all-University convocation. She discussed the need to increase graduation rates and explained how the Four-Year Tuition Compact was an incentive to finish up on time. The University encourages timely graduation because graduation rates are used as a form of accountability, says Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success. The public perceives schools with high graduation rates as efficient, which brings in investments. Also, taking longer to graduate can be an unexpected expense for students, especially those under the Four-Year Tuition Compact. The compact guarantees a standard tuition rate for four years, but after that it is based on standard tuition. And, as Roney says, history shows tuition never goes down. Increases in in-state tuition in the last 10 years have varied from 2.3 percent to 25.1 percent, and the fact that rates are decided in June before school starts makes financial planning difficult. Standard tuition already is higher than what the first students enrolled under the tuition contract, freshmen who entered in 2007, are paying. So students who are expected to graduate in 2011 but end up staying longer can anticipate a price hike in their tuition. Another point students need to consider, Roney says, is that most scholarships only cover four years of school. TAKING THE TIME TO FIND A PASSION Chris Gordon, Leawood senior, is part of the majority that is taking longer to graduate. When she arrived at the University in 2006, she thought she would be a design major. She enrolled in the five-year design program and planned to graduate in 2011. But after two and a half years of design school she realized that it wasn't what she really wanted to do. Even though she enjoyed designing, she wanted to work more closely with people than design would allow. Gordon talked to a friend who recommended nursing. An open house at the KU Medical Center convinced her to follow that path. Nursing combined her passions for working with people and aiding those in need. However, changing majors would add an extra year — totaling six years as an undergraduate. "At first I thought six years would be a long time, but I realized it was worth it because it is something I'm really passionate about," Gordon says. Gordon dreaded telling her parents about her decision because she didn't want to ask them to spend more money on her education. But, after talking it over, her parents ended up fully supporting her. Gordon thinks that part of the reason she ended up changing majors was because she was under too much pressure to make a decision in the first place. "I just jumped into a major without thinking what I wanted to do and why I wanted to do that," she says. Julianne Kueffer, Overland Park senior, is in a similar situation to Gordon's. She is set to earn her journalism degree in December, after six and a half years of bouncing from major to major. As a freshman in 2003, Kueffer wanted to study journalism, but she soon changed her mind and applied to the School of Fine Arts. It took her a semester to get into the school, and another year to complete the basic requirements. Once she got those out of the way she started studying industrial design. But then Kuefer panicked. She didn't think she had strong drawing skills and switched to graphic design. Kueffer passed her first review, an evaluation made by professors based on a stu- 10 12 01 09 --- FEATURE ★ dent's grades and work, but when she failed her second review she had to pick a new major. So she dropped graphic design and went back to her first choice: journalism. Kueffer thinks it's difficult for students to graduate on time if they are uncertain about their track, especially if they choose a professional school. Tony Rosenthal, associate professor of history, has closely advised dozens of students and understands Kueffer's situation. He says that professional school requirements can be difficult, and once students find out they can't get in they have to start over. Kueffer, for example, has a year of design credits that can't be applied toward any other majors. Rosenthal also believes there are too many general education requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which don't leave much room for students to explore different majors. Parental and institutional pressures often push students to follow a certain path, Rosenthal says. But it usually takes some time for students to find out what they really want. "My view in general is that one size does not fit all. People reach intellectual maturity at different times," he says. Rosenthal doesn't think students who take longer to graduate should be perceived as failures. Sometimes taking some extra time might be a good idea. Students who have done poorly their first couple of semesters might want to raise their GPA to make them more competitive for graduate school. DOUBLE-MAJOR ... OVERTIME Even though Kueffer is already taking six and a half years to graduate with a journalism degree, she still thinks about extending her undergraduate career for another semester. Doing so would allow her to get a photomedia degree, which was recently created by the department of design. She picked up a passion for photography while taking design classes. But staying an extra semester would have its price, and she would be paying it. Barbara Newbold, Kueffer's mother, would like her to get some actual work experience before going back to school. Newbold understands that when students are unsure of what they want to do, as is the case with her daughter, it takes him or her some time to get on track. But there's a limit. "After six and a half years she probably, hopefully, figured out what she wants to do," she says. It's possible that Kueffer has some fear of moving on beyond college, Newbold says. Kueffer acknowledges that fear. "I've gone to school full-time all of my life; ever since I left high school six and a half years ago. I never took a break from college and I just don't know anything different from it." RAISING THE GRADUATION RATES The University has made some progress in increasing the number of students who graduate in four years. Less than a quarter of the 1990 freshman class graduated in four years; for the 2004 class the proportion increased to 32 percent. But efforts are still underway. Roney says the University made some changes after a task force issued a report in 2005 analyzing why students 1980 Photo illustration by Jerry Wang Photo illustration by Jerry Wang Overload breakdown: When work, assignments, tests, extracurricular commitments, social commitments ... et cetera become just too much to handle, some students choose to take fewer classes per semester and take more time to graduate, a less-conventional but increasingly common route that many professors say can be a good alternative to the senior-year burnout. were taking longer to graduate. The task force reported that part of the problem was that the University's messages and actions were not consistent with the ideal of graduating in four years. As an example, public relations materials often showed a typical courseload of 12 hours, when the truth is that if a student comes in without any college credits he or she has to take an average of 15.5 credit hours per semester to graduate in four years. While the University is trying to adopt a consistent message, it has not implemented some of the other recommendations. For example, the task force recommended setting "a minimum enrollment of 15 hours for full-time students" and limiting "the number of drops/withdrawals over a student's career." These measures have not been adopted. continued on page 14 FAMOUS PERPETUAL STUDENTS The stereotype may not conform to the reality of most college students, but famous perpetual students have usually been people who refuse to graduate so that they can keep enjoying college life. Here are some examples of these "I Love College" types: Johnny Lechner Played by Ryan Reynolds, this popular student's credo was, "Don't be a fool. Stay in school." But even though Wilder got his fair dose of partying, he also contributed to society, hosting a fund-raising party for the swim team and helping unpopular fraternity brothers get laid. One of the pack leaders, John Belushi's character in the 1978 movie Animal House set the standard of living up college life in drunken debauchery. In the movie, Bluto was in his seventh year of college and had a 0.0 GPA. But he went on to become a U.S. Senator, showing everyone that even if you take forever to graduate you can still do great things in life. John "Bluto" Blutarski Van Wilder A real-life perpetual student — to the extreme. Lechner has been going to school in Wisconsin since 1994. He uses his fame and marketing deals to rake in some money for tuition, which for him is more expensive than normal. In 2004 the Wisconsin Board of Regents doubled the price of tuition for students who have more than 165 credit hours — it is popularly known as the "Johnny Lechner Rule." 13 10 01 09 BAUHAUS NOW OPEN For Women & Men True Religion, Husdon, 7 for All Mankind, Ella Moss, Splendid, LaRok, Joie, Twelfth St., 7 Diamonds, Free People West on 9th St. from Mass St. Hours: Mon-Sat 11-7pm, Sunday closed Premium Denim Unique, Savvy Fashion The new premier fashion boutique in Lawrence FEATURE continued from page 13 ✩ Other schools have enacted a more radical policy. All three of Arizona's state schools, for example, place a 20 percent surcharge on tuition if students have completed more than 145 credit hours and the University of Wisconsin doubles the price of tuition after 165 credit hours. Starting in 2011, students entering the University of North Carolina will have to request permission to stay longer than eight semesters. "Our focus has been not to penalize students, but to encourage them." Roney says. In that sense, she perceives the tuition compact to be an inducement for students to graduate in four years, although she concedes it may pressure them to rush and just get done with school. WORK + STUDY = MORE THAN FOUR Rosenthal, history professor, is concerned with this increased pressure for students to graduate on time. He says a lot of students feel pressured to take 18 credit hours or more, when that is not necessarily a good idea. Many students can't handle such a load, especially if they are also working. Rosenthal says he has perceived an increase in the last 10 years in the number of students working longer hours. "I don't think the institution does enough to discourage people from working and studying," he says. Kyra Myers, Pratt senior, works approximately 35 hours per week at four jobs and is taking only 12 credit hours this semester. She's taking an extra semester to graduate because of her heavy work schedule. Myers started working long hours after moving out of her parents' house. At first she stressed out about balancing school and work, though eventually she got used to it. But it still isn't easy. Long hours make diligent studying difficult and she feels as though she doesn't get to enjoy the full college experience like a lot of students do. "It makes me wonder what all these kids who take 12 hours and don't work do with their free time," she says. But Myers thinks that a heavy workload doesn't necessarily stop anyone from graduating on time, even if it proves to be difficult. It all depends on what the person is willing to give up and how much he or she plans in advance. Myers reserves some time for her social life; and she wouldn't have to work four jobs if all she wanted to do was sustain herself. "I just really like to shop," she says. TUNING THE MESSAGE Roney says that even though the University wants to increase its graduation rates, there are still legitimate reasons to take more than four years to graduate. Students who changed majors, such as Gordon, who are double majoring, such as Kueffer is considering, or who also work, such as Myers, are all examples. That is why the message the University is trying to pass needs to be finely tuned. "It's a really hard message. I really don't want anyone to feel bad because they took more than four years to graduate for legitimate reasons." Roney says. But even if the University's message is successful, it may still face larger problems in its goal to increase graduation rates. One of the points in the most recent tuition proposal submitted to the Kansas Board of Regents is that budget cuts are a threat to graduation rates. It reads that even with the new tuition rates, "students' ability to graduate on-time will be threatened by reductions in course and section offerings." If everything goes according to what I've planned, seven months from now I should be starring at the Campanile's ceiling as I walk through its doors and head down the Hill into Memorial Stadium. There, after five years as a Jayhawk, I will officially end my career as an undergraduate student. End, that is, if all the classes I need are offered next semester — or if I'm not tempted to prolong my time as a "perpetual student." Jp It's 2 a.m. I want food delivered.

Bar fights are often glamorized in movies and on TV, but in the real world they could leave you injured and in handcuffs. Melanie Wayland sipped her PBR and swayed to the metal music. One of her favorite bands, Job for a Cowboy, was playing at The Bottleneck. All of a sudden, a drunken man barreled into her from behind, smashing her body into the bleachers in front of her. She regained her balance in time to see her friend running out the door, away from the guy who had punched him and the guy who had just fallen on her. In a split-second decision, Wayland pushed her drunken aggressor onto the bleachers, straddled him and started punching him. Other Preventative Measures you can take to keep yourself and your friends out of a bar fight: 'If you accidentally spill your drink on someone, don't hand her the cup and walk away.' - Melanie Wayland, Lawrence resident and 2008 graduate. "Attempt to calm down the person provoking the fight by respectfully telling him he's had too much to drink." Zach Owen, bouncer at let Lag. "The whole time I totally didn't spill my PBR," she says, proudly, "and I gave the guy a bloody nose." ed," too. Although Wayland's story sounds like a scene straight out of a movie, bar fights are not so glamorous in reality. With her short, dark brown hair and 16 tattoos, Wayland, a Lawrence resident and 2008 graduate, looks like the last girl you'd want to get in a fight with. "If people try to start a fight with our door guys, they're goin' down," she says. You could also suffer the repercussions of one of the door guys, adds Britton Zaloz, Overland Park junior and bartender at Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St. She says bouncers always try to break up bar fights before becoming part of them, but Zaloz admits her guys are "hot-head- Though getting into a bar fight might sound like a bad-ass experience to tell your 882 Facebook friends the next day, the consequences of punching back — even if you don't throw the first punch — are not worth it. At the very least, you could be thrown out the bar for the night. At worst, you could be arrested and charged with battery, not to mention the possibility of getting injured. "Being drunk is not an excuse to fight someone. Be respectful and polite to people, especially people you don't know." - Wayland. Zach Owen, a 24-year-old Lawrence resident, has seen a lot of bar fights working as a doorman for The Ranch, 2515 W. 615 St., and now at Jet Lag, 610 Florida St. He's seen people hit other people over the head with beer bottles and cops mace everyone in the room. "Be respectful of other people's opinions and sports team preferences." - Britton Zaloz, Overland Park junior and bartender at Quinton's. Own says girl-on-girl fights are usually initiated by a jaded ex-girlfriend. A guy trying to show off for a girl or a guy hitting on another guy's girlfriend starts most guy-on-guy fights, he says. No matter the background situation, the majority of the bar fights he's seen have been caused by a combination of three factors, he says: alcohol, attitude and women. "That's kind of sexist and wrong, but that's just the way I've seen it," Owen says. Most people try to avoid conflict, but there are some situations — especially when alcohol is involved — when someone seems determined to start an argument with you. If someone verbally assaults you, spills their drink all over you or instigates a fight with you, just walk away, says Norah Dunbar, professor of communications at the University of Oklahoma. If a person is drunk enough to confront a stranger, they are not thinking rationally. You can't really apply conflict resolution communication strategies, Dunbar says. Just apologize to them — even if whatever happened is not your fault — so the instigator does not see you as a threat. Make it clear you don't want to fight. Rock Ontiberos, Overland Park sophomore, says he's never been in a bar fight and he doesn't consider himself the type of person to ever get in one because he controls his alcohol intake. But even if you keep yourself in control, there's still the possibility of getting dragged into a conflict by a friend. In this case, it is always best to just stay out of it. Bar fights often escalate because someone jumps in to either help a friend or stop the fight, Owen says. Even if you are just trying to calm things down, the other person just sees one more opponent. In these situations, you can always notify a bar employee. Bouncers won't kick someone out because you ask them to, but they will ask the person to stay away from you, Owen says. And if all else fails, leave the bar, Dunbar says. "You shouldn't really be so committed to being in a particular place that you can't get out of a dangerous situation," he says. 15 10 01 09 Hand MANUAL get some culture // SUNFIRE CERAMICS it's not all about fast food and beer pong. Whether you're a natural artist or creatively challenged, painting can offer a therapeutic break from the stress of life as a student. It's just you and the blank canvas, and the rest of the world melts away. But why not make that canvas something quirky and useful, such as a coffee mug or a picture frame? Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St., gives you the opportunity to paint your own pottery, all of which is microwave and dishwasher safe. You pick your piece and the glaze, paint it and then leave it at the store to be fired in the store's kiln. In three to five days your item will be complete — fired, shiny and vibrant. Sunfire charges a base fee of $4 for the glaze and firing and an additional cost for the pottery. Cheryl Roth, owner of Sunfire Ceramics, says you can complete a piece for as little as $12, making it a cheap way to relieve a little stress and show your creativity. "Painting itself is really relaxing," Roth says. "But seeing how they turned out is the best part — they really change when they're fired." But those with no artistic ability shouldn't be afraid. Sunfire has plenty of stencils and stamps to help you create your very own masterpiece. And there's always the option of solid colors if you're really challenged. Sunfire's quaint studio is decorated with customer works, examples and blank pieces ready to be painted. On sunny days employees open the studio's garage door at the front to let the rays in. With midterms approaching and the weather getting a little cooler, letting the artistic juices flow just may be the perfect escape from hitting the books. // ANDREA OLSEN Emma Photo by Andrea Olsen All fired up.

Every time you walk into her class you are greeted with the biggest, whitest smile you've ever seen. And while that smile is sincere, it doesn't show what's coming for you: an hour-long workout that will leave you begging for mercy. Stephanie Thompson, Lenexa senior, is one of 25 KU Fit instructors paid to teach weekly classes at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. She's had the job for a year and a half and has developed a bit of a cult following. Her classes include Cardio Cross Train, Butz and Gutz and the Boot Camp Challenge, her favorite because she likes tracking the progress of her students through the semester. Thompson has had a few people come up to her outside of class and complain that she worked them a little too hard, but she just laughs it off. She would never do anything to intentionally hurt anyone; it's just all about fitness. But being in great shape is just one of the job requirements. You also need the motivation. Instructors try out in the spring for yearly positions. The process includes Photo by Andrea Olsen I am a first generation African American woman who has achieved great success in her academic and athletic career.

But most importantly you need the personality, and anyone who's taken Thompson's classes knows she's got it. She's always cracking jokes and interacting with her students during class, no matter how hard it gets.

ICK! // KIRSTEN HUDSON Ever awkwardly tried to open a door with your sleeve as a barrier against that dirty doorknob? Or done the tricky dance of attempting to flush the toilet with your foot to avoid that germ-laden handle? Despite your dances to avoid seemingly obvious germ hang-outs, the dirtiest surface in your life may be something you touch every day — and it's not in the bathroom. BACTERIA CAFETERIA Desk areas can conceal more creepy crawlers than public restrooms. Public computer keyboards contain 100 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, says Chuck Gerba, professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona. Leftover food particles from that sandwich you are while watching YouTube on your lunch break and other gunk that accumulates in the cracks of keyboards feed more than just the cockroaches — bacteria find plenty to munch on. "They're basically a bacteria cafeteria," Gerba says of keyboards. If you turn over that keyboard you're typing on, you might be surprised — and grossed out — at what you find. And the grossness can depend on the location. "If you flip over a keyboard in New York, you'll get a bagel-flake snowstorm," Gerba says. GROSSED OUT Sitting at the circulation desk in Watson Library, Jessica Huff, Mayetta sophomore and student desk assistant, has a good view of the public computers. What she sees happening there will make your toes curl. "I've been in the bathroom and watched people not wash their hands then walk out and log in on a computer," she says. That's not all the grossness, though. She's seen students sneeze and cough into their hands and chew their fingernails while using the computer. "What's really gross is when someone eats at a computer right after the person before them sneezed all over it," she says. Chelsea Jacobsen, Chicago sophomore, says she thinks keyboards are probably one of the dirtiest surfaces on campus. "One time I saw a guy licking peanut butter off of his fingers then continue typing," she says. "It was gross." And the last user's saliva isn't the only bodily substance sticking to keyboards. "The guy that was just sitting next to me was scratching himself in inappropriate places then touching the keyboard. It was disgusting," says Leah Kirkland, Olathe senior. Some accumulation of germs seems natural when you consider the fact that tons of KU students use the computer workstations every day. In Fall 2008 the 149 computers at Anschutz Library had 1,256 average daily log-ins — that's about eight students per computer per day. The computers at Watson Library and Harris Computer Lab in the Kansas Union had about six students per day and the computers at Budig Computer lab had about four. That's a lot of grimy fingers. KEEP IT CLEAN As high-touch areas, keyboards easily transfer viruses. Viruses that cause the flu, colds and even diarrhea can prowl on the surfaces of keyboards, Gerba says. Bacteria can live on keyboards longer than viruses but viruses will remain active for several hours, even up to a day, says Jack Brown, professor emeritus of molecular biosciences. According to the Mayo Clinic, flu viruses stick to keyboards through the drops of fluid that fly out when someone coughs or sneezes. You can then catch the viruses by touching the surface of the keyboard and then rubbing your eyes, scratching your nose or touching your mouth. The easiest way to keep from transferring any type of virus or bacteria from a keyboard is just to keep your hands off your face, Brown says. "It's a difficult thing for humans to do but it's the best thing you can do," he says. You could also give that keyboard a swipe with an antibacterial wipe, Gerba says. The public keyboards and computers at the University go through a thorough cleaning during each semester break, says Karen Nicholas, communications and public relations manager for information technology. But that still leaves an entire semester's worth of grime accumulating on them. For now, to keep yourself from passing along more than just information as you use public keyboards, try to keep your germs to yourself. Jp DELL Photo illustration by Kirsten Hudson The keys to infection: Public computer keyboards contain 100 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. Guys take the gold when it comes to desk cleanliness. In a 2006 study of 113 private offices and cubicles at 17 different sites, Chuck Gerba, professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona, found that bacteria levels in women's offices were nearly three times higher than in men's. Keyboards, computer mice and phones in women's offices harbored nearly five times more bacteria per square inch than in men's offices. Way to keep it clean, boys! WOMEN MEN TELEPHONE KEYBOARD MOUSE DESK SURFACE EXCLAMATION KEY PENS + = MOST GERMY WHAT ARE THE DIRTIEST KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD? Your pinkies and the middle finger on your left hand might be pretty germy because the "A," "E" and "Enter" keys are the most unsanitary keys on the keyboard. "These are high contamination areas because they're used the most often," says Chuck Gerba, professor of microbiology at The University of Arizona. Also watch out for that computer mouse you're clicking on. It contains high levels of germs because you place your whole palm on it, which transfers more bacteria, Gerba says. 10 01 09 18 HEALTH + that's disgusting // SHARING EARBUDS dude. gross. You can't find your earbuds but refuse to head off to campus without your iPod. Oh look, how convenient — your roommate's are right there on the table. Surely she won't mind — after all, what's a little earwax between friends? Well, as a matter of fact, a little earwax can go a long way. Everyone has bacteria and fungus in his or her ear canals that are normally in balance, and one generally keeps the other from taking over, says Robert Dinsdale, otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat doctor) at Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates. A study published in the Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences found that regularly using earbuds significantly increased bacterial growth in the ear, potentially leading to ear infections. The study also found that 92 percent of commonly shared earbuds tested contained harmful bacteria. The same bacteria was found on only 8 percent of earbuds that were shared less frequently. Dinsdale says if you're sharing with someone who has a healthy ear canal you should be safe because most bacteria that is carried on earbuds will die in a dry environment within a couple of days. But infections can still be passed on. If you Photo illustration by Amy Johnson No buds between buddies: Sharing earbuds can pass bacteria and even ear infection from earwax. really want to avoid getting an ear infection, Disdale recommends just not sharing. Either that or be prepared to start examining your friend's ear canals before use. // AMY JOHNSON good for you/bad for you // GOING sometimes it's hard to tell. COMMANDO Some people do it to let loose and air out, others because they think it's sexy and some just plain think it's more comfortable. But is it safe to un-invite your underwear to your pants parity? HANES Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing for student health services, says because a lot of blue jeans are made from linens or cottons there's no harm in wearing them without your regular underwear. Quinlai says that the best kind of fabric for underwear is made from natural fibers such as cotton, because it doesn't harbor organisms that cause infection. No undies at this pants party. Not wearing underwear can lead to infection but if your pants are pristinly clean, won't do any harm Photo illustration by Amy Johnson The other, bigger issue is commando cleanliness. Not wearing underwear in When deciding whether to go commando, first consider the comfort issue. There are a lot more seams in jeans and pants that could make wearing them without underwear uncomfortable. The tightness of the pants you're going commando in could also be a comfort issue. pants or jeans that are dirty could lead to an uncomfortable infection, Quinlan says.

SANCHEZ ARES Elliott Stevens, lecturer of English, noticed Rocio Sanchez Ares, lecturer of French and Italian, in her office directly across from his. In the depths of Wescoe Hall, he tried to work diligently but he was distracted by the beautiful Spanish woman who he saw almost every day. Like a curious neighbor, Sanchez Ares admits that she too caught herself sneaking glances at Stevens. Sanchez Ares finally broke the silence with a little yellow cookie she gave to Stevens. "We then talked," Stevens says. "Or more exactly, she talked and I sputtered at her." Stevens says he couldn't believe such a beautiful person like Sanchez Ares was talking to him. After the first yellow cookie, Sanchez Ares continued to leave him homemade wedges of Spanish tortilla and cakes in his office. That was 10 months ago when the sparks started to fly. Like every relationship, Sanchez Ares and Stevens had a honeymoon period but for them it seems as though this honeymoon is never ending. With the butterflies refusing to quit fluttering, they plan to spend the rest of their lives together. "We want to get married, have four children, teach many languages to nice people, grow parsley in gardens, and, finally, take care of bees," Sanchez Ares says. Aside from this couple's giving nature, Stevens says that the bees are symbolic of their relationship. He says that bees are creatures of royalty and fidelity. "They also dance at each other to communicate, which is something that Rocio and I do, too." // HAILEY OSTERHAUS 97 HAILEY OSTENHAU Contributed photo Teaching languages and dancing like bees: Language lecturers Rocio Sanchez Ares (left) and Elliott Stevens started exchanging glances across their offices in Wescoe Hall 10 months ago.

I'm a strong believer in creating a good playlist of emotive music that really sets the mood for a couple. Music can be a great mood-setter and make the atmosphere even better for a night of intimacy. The ability to even create a good playlist is also a very attractive quality for a lot of people. Take some advice from Ryan Weaver, my friend and former KU instructor of women, gender and sexuality studies. He studies the rhetoric of music. His tips for creating a great playlist contain many words of wisdom for making the perfect playlist for those intimate nights: 1. The playlist creator should determine at an early point in the production process whether the mix will convey some type of emotion or message. If so, it might be useful to start with a handful of songs that you feel directly convey that message. In a similar vein, the best playlists typically are those that focus on one genre or theme. A theme gives your playlist a loose framework of organization and can serve as a reflection of an individual's creativity. Remember that how much you enjoy making the playlist will be evident in the final package. 2. As you begin selecting tracks for a compilation, remember to be flexible. Though it is important for a good mix to be reflective of one's personality and one should always include music he or she enjoys, be on the lookout for music that isn't familiar but may be perfect for your theme. Ask friends and local music snobs for help. 3. If you have the time, it is a good idea to listen to the finalized mix before putting it to work in the field. After listening to the mix once or twice, often you will think of tracks to add or subtract. You might also notice weaknesses in the initial organization of the mix and decide that complete rearrangement (or minor adjustment) is needed for the desired effect. 4. Audience analysis is always a crucial first step in making a playlist. Choose songs that both of you would feel good about hearing. // MIKE ANDERSON e 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 21 10 01 09 --- ✓ REVIEW movie review //'THE INFORMANT!' Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The movie, based on the book by Kurt Eichenwald, tells the true story of corporate climber Mark Whitacre (a chubby Matt Damon). He's a pathological liar and his lying eventually leads to his sort of (but not completely) inventing a price-fixing scam involving his company, ADM, for which he plays informant to two FBI agents (Scott Bakula and Joel McHale). Director Steven Soderbergh is a man of diverse tastes and talents. He's done everything from mainstream heist movies (the Ocean's 11 franchise) to arthouse experimentation (Bubble) to epic biopics (Che parts one and two). Soderbergh has earned a lot of respect in the film world and rightly so. But even he couldn't make The Informant! (out now in theaters) a truly entertaining movie. Whitacre's story is certainly an interesting one, full of corporate greed and intrigue. It tells well (for a more condensed, fast-paced version of the story, check out This American Life's episode on Whitacre, "The Fix is In"). But, unfortunately, it just doesn't film well. The art direction and cinematography are great but, even with the addition of Marvin Hamlisch's goofy score, it just isn't enough to make up for characters who just aren't that interesting. The Informant! isn't a bad movie. Its heart is in the right place, and the story it tells (at least conceptually) is intriguing. But one can't help but think it might have worked out better as a documentary, or some looser form of narrative that required less dramatic creativity. As it is, much of the movie just ends up being kind of flat. ★ ★ ★ // ABBY OLCESE un- believ- able matt damon is TheInformant! music review // YO LA TENGO — 'POPULAR SONGS' KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. (MATADOR) Yo La Tengo have been a band longer than I've been alive. This is their 12th album in the 25 years of their existence and when you think about that in the terms of the music industry, that's a lot — it's more than double how long the Beatles were together. In a place of one-hit wonders, singles and "Yo-imma-let-you-finish-buts," 25 years is an eternity for a simple indie band such as Yo La Tengo. When you think about it, though, they aren't really a simple indie band anymore. Their sound has developed over the years to incorporate so many intricacies of so many genres that they aren't simple at all. When I first went through the album, I thought that it wasn't different from their other material and that they hadn't really developed any more. Well, they don't have to. Their sound has so much to offer in so many different facets that remaining the same for them is being innovative and different. 1970s-funk string parts, nasty garage rock guitar, disjointed electro-beats ... all of it comes together yet again in a composition by the incredible versatility of this band.

SENATE book review // L.A. CANDY — LAUREN CONRAD reading.it's not just for textbooks,you know. If you're looking for a tasty treat to add flavor to a boring night, try picking up L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. Now I know what you're thinking, "Why would I want to read a book by an ex-reality show star turned wannabe author?" As crazy as it seems, Conrad's book is actually entertaining. Though the book cover displays Conrad's name noticeably larger than the book title, when cracking open the book it becomes obvious that it has an undeniably addicting quality that has you reading this book cover to cover. Conrad uses her personal experience to write a book about two fictional girls who go from recent high school graduates to reality TV stars in only a few months after moving to Los Angeles. This book gives readers an insider's look at the life of a reality TV star. Conrad gives readers a look at the initial interview, the shooting process and the variation of the end product of the show from the actual reality that took place. Surprisingly there are not many similarities between L.A. Candy and The Hills. Conrad keeps the book clean of any retelling from the hit reality shows Laguna Beach and The Hills, both in which she starred. There are some similarities between Conrad and Jane, the main character of her book. Jane is a petite, blond girl-next-door type who receives an internship with a top event planner skipping college and heading straight into the work force. Jane is a little naive and seemingly always falls for the wrong guy. The best part about this book is the cliffhanger ending that is an obvious tip that a sequel is coming soon. Though I'm still debating with myself whether Conrad actually wrote this book herself, *the book still leaves the reader salivating for the next drop of Conrad's L.A. Candy.* // AMBER JACKSON ★★★ LAUREN CONRAD L.A. Candy A NOVEL // AMBE LAUREN CONRAD L.A. Candy A NOVEL 10 01 09 22 SPEAK 4 AUTISM SPEAKS{Fighting for the cause on my spring break} // KELCI SHIPLEY STUDENTS AT THE FACULTY Stepping up on spring break. From left, Mona Saha, Lindsay Elliott, Brooke Abney, Megan Logan, Jayplay writer Kelci Shipley, Xaionn Wang and Jordan Lusnan — the members of Shipley's Alternative Spring Break group. The students traveled to Colorado earlier this year to help children with autism. Contributed photo My right leg had fallen asleep approximately two-thirds of the way through the court hearing. But at that moment I didn't care. Instead I was focused on the emotional testimony of the families fighting for benefits for their autistic children. Seven members of the Colorado Senate Health and Human Services Committee sat in front of a map of the state's rugged terrain, each accompanied by six-inch stacks of material put together by us: seven students who were also fighting for the cause. Our packets were full of colored charts and graphs, illustrated with the pain and emotion felt by those afflicted and associated with autism. If the Autism Insurance Bill was to pass, children with autism in Colorado would receive insurance coverage for the speech and rehabilitation therapies vital for their development. Although expensive for insurance companies, this bill would give autistic kids a better chance to live an independent life in which teasing, torment and torture weren't daily occurrences. The children's fate lay heavy on our minds and in their families' hearts, A courtroom drama isn't usually a college student's idea of a vacation, but there I was on an Alternative Spring Break. Six other KU students and I had been assigned to the Autism Society in Denver, a nine-hour drive away in our silver van crammed with pillows and backpacks. I sat in the back during the ride, mostly staring out the window as my iPod shuffled. I hadn't expected to be there. Three months earlier my application was turned down. After getting the e-mail that informed me I wasn't going, I realized how much I wanted to go. I wanted to think about other people instead of myself for a change. I ended up replacing someone else who couldn't go and the original heartbreak humbled me, making me appreciate the trip even more. We began working for the Autism Society doing organizational jobs such as clearing clutter from desks and entering program feedback into spreadsheets. Although the work wasn't exciting we knew that the people at the society appreciated our help. I valued my experience more as the week progressed and I discovered the emotional toll the disorder takes on families. One night our coordinator, Tom, took us to hear families speak to city officials about their need for change. Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., was an cerie setting for testimony from parents whose children are often mercilessly bullied. I sat on a round, white plastic chair that swung out from a standard eight-person cafeteria table, watching a mother crumble as she tried to read a statement about her autistic daughter. Her husband took over after her inability to speak, easing her firm grasp on the tattered piece of paper. His hands shook as he continued to tell tales of abuse and teasing afflicted on a daily basis, his voice stuttering as tears crept into his eyes. Every family we interacted with had a story of pain, struggle and financial debt, challenges I got a taste of when we babysat for a family with three daughters, one of whom has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. The mother described the disorder as making her daughter Calyx overly "hyper" and "unable to express her thoughts." While the parents went on a much-deserved date we split up into teams: those who would watch and entertain the girls and those who would help clean and fold the mountains of laundry that littered the floor of their rooms. We made neat stacks of Disney princess nightgowns, Dora the Explorer T-shirts and countless numbers of pink dresses. As I was folding a pair of purple pants, one of my group members barged in, looking for a safe place to hide from Calyx during a game of hide and seek. As Calyx neared closer to "ready or not," my group member threw herself behind the bed, pulling down blankets and pillows for disguise. "I'm exhausted," she groaned. I wondered how the parents did this every day, along with work and other grown-up priorities. I felt happy we could provide a night's relief. Seeing and sharing the immense responsibilities of the families in the smallest way made our group come together. Sitting in the courtroom, I could feel our collective tension. We believed so much in our efforts that anything less than a positive outcome seemed unthinkable. These families needed this to survive. Betty Lehman, director of the Autism Society and a KU graduate, finished off the testimony, speaking on behalf of the 20-plus families who didn't have time to narrate their children's agony. The gavel struck. It was time to vote. There were three ayes and three nays. I couldn't breathe My chest was going to explode. Betty Boyd, the chairwoman of the committee and the toughest to convince, finally uttered aye relenting to the persistence of parents, advocates and seven students who a week before didn't have any attachment to this piece of legislature. We all beamed with pride, knowing we had a part in helping this pass on to the Colorado Senate Appropriations Committee. The seven of us kept in touch frequently after the hearing, getting updates from our former coordinator about the progress of the bill in the House and Senate. The day we found out that the bill was being signed by the governor of Colorado I felt like I did back in that courtroom. I felt the same relief, especially for the weight being lifted off of the families for whom I'd grown to care so much.

Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSAN Protesters representing Moveon.org rallied outside City Hall in support of a nationwide health care system on Sept. 22. Protesters like Dot Nary, right, said that the protesters were met with favorable car honks and very little negativity. The local chapter plans to hold events in the future but none are planned as of yet. Stepping up to the debate College Republicans hold forum to stress insurance importance BY ZACH WHITE white@kansan.com The growing health care concern in Washington managed to reach campus this week. The KU College Republicans hosted a health care forum Tuesday evening in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union. Eric Foss, KU law student and president of College Republicans, said he thought the forum was a part of the party's obligation. "The purpose of this forum is not to oppose reform, but to fulfill the role of opposition party." Foss said. "That is, to offer legitimate critiques of the majority party's proposals and also offer alternatives and suggestions that can be incorporated into whatever policy the majority passes." The group brought two experts in the health care field to talk about the proposed reforms from their perspective. The first to speak was Dr. Richard Warner, a psychiatrist from Overland Park and policy scholar for the Flint Hills Center for Public Policy in Wichita. Warner began the forum assuring the attendees of the importance of any upcoming reform SEE FORUM ON PAGE 3A Students mostly uninvolved in discussions, protests BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com Nearly 50 people carried "Health care for all" signs while shouting chants outside of City Hall on Sept. 22. Some gave speeches. Others cheered as passing cars honked in approval. The protesters' voices were loud and clear. But in this portrait of local political activism, not a student was in sight.

ENTERTAINMENT Foreign films show life in the Soviet Bloc BY ZACH WHITE zwhite@kansan.com The Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies is hosting a screening of "The Lives of Others" at 7 p.m. tonight in 318 Bailey Hall. Complimentary refreshments will be provided. "The Lives of Others" is a 2006 German film showing the dismal struggles of artists and the secret police who watch them in totalitarian East Germany in the mid to late '80s. It received an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. "The Lives of Others" is the second of five films being shown by CREES this semester as a part of the Fall of the Wall film series. The film series is a part of the center's semester long study of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The films all come from former Soviet Bloc nations including Germany, Pland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. All of the films tell different stories of life behind the Iron Curtain and the changes that arose when the wall fell. Edith Clowes, director of CREES, helped pick the films out for the series. She said these films were all fantastic depictions of the changes that occurred 20 years ago. "They are aesthetically interesting," Clowes said. "And they air difficult questions about political resistance and political collusion." The film series is only one of the events sponsored by the center for this semester. Bart Redford, assistant to the director of CREES, explained that the main focus was a conference later this month called Central Europe 1989: Lessons and Legacies. "We've got a number of different scholars come in and present on various topics," Redford said, "But it's all tied into the fall of the wall." Polish poet Izabela Filipiak will be reading her work at The Raven Book Store, 6 E. 7th St., on Oct. 19 as well. The film series part of the festivities will feature a new film every other week except the week of fall break. CREES is also hosting the conference. — Edited by Jonathan Hermes MEDIA ALEXANDER PENNELLI Justin Sailer, El Dorado senior, interviews Army Major Mark Lenhart. KU journalism students interviewed more than thirty members of an armed services class yesterday. Rav Segebrecht/KANSAN Working together: media and military BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com "Most of the time when we ask officers if they want to do an interview, they say, 'No, I don't want to go on record,' Warner said. "For them to get in front of the camera is never exciting." The soldiers have braved some of the most difficult challenges imaginable, in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They came to the University of Kansas, said their course director John Warner, to confront a very different challenge interacting with the media More than 30 officers from different branches of the armed services traveled from Leavenworth to Lawrence yesterday morning. To meet this struggle, the Leavenworth students paired up with journalism students for interviews in the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union with the hope of Warner said he and professors of the School of Journalism had planned similar meetings between their students for the last four years.

The student journalists practiced their interviewing skills and received advice from the soldiers on their performance. "I think it helps make us more comfortable with the media," said Mike Goodwin, an army major from Columbia, S.C. who participated in the exchange. "We're not so different, one form or the other. We've just chosen a different life of service than they have." James Turner.

Gaza's poverty triples to one in five residents GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The number of Gazans living in "abject" poverty has tripled this year to 300,000, or one in five residents, the Gaza head of the U.N. agency helping Palestinian refugees said Thursday. Gaza's economy has foundered under an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade imposed after the Islamic militant group Hamas seized control of the territory. The blockade's toll on Gaza residents was compounded by Israel's winter offensive in the strip that aimed to stop Palestinian rocket fire at southern Israel. Thousands of homes, government buildings and businesses were destroyed during the Israeli campaign. 2.

Dublin authorities also combed for evidence as part of their probe into the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff.

The disproportionate amount of specialists in our current system is the result of the amount of debt it takes to become a doctor, he said. After 45 minutes of explaining their views, the forum was opened for questions. A consistent concern among the 20 students at the forum seemed to be that too much government intervened in this or any facet of their lives. Some said they came to hear about less intrusive options than those currently under consideration. Students posed many questions about alternative options that most said they thought didn't receive enough attention, such as free market alternatives and tort reform. "There are methods of reform that Democrats don't even consider." Lenexa freshman Mackenzie Clark said. Kris Velasco, Wamego freshman, said he considered himself more of a libertarian even though he is a member of the College Republicans. He said he came to hear some alternatives to the Washington plans that he has trouble supporting. He said he was overall impressed. "Yeah, it was good. They had some good points." Velasco said. - Edited by Lauren Cunningham MILITARY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) who benefited from them were the same. "We both work for the same people," Turner said, "the American people." For that reason, Turner said, building understanding between armed service officers and journalists was especially crucial. The two groups depend on one another, because journalists depend on the armed service officers to defend their rights and the military depends on the journalists to inform the public of its affairs. "Our students need to learn how to do interviews," Warner said. "We want to get the information out all the time, and the best way to do that is through radio, newspaper or TV." Warner said the activities, like the exchange today, were forming part of a nationwide effort by the military to work toward more open communication with the media. Tom Volek, KU journalism professor who helped coordinate the event, said he thought the interviews also offered valuable hands-on experience for the students as they transition into the next generation of journalists. "It it helps to have the journalism students have a chance to interact with real world U.S. Army soldiers," Volek said. "We're trying to train professional journalism students, which means we get them out of the classroom. Although it is a classroom exercise, it is a classroom exercise with real people. "I would like the media to keep in mind that we're people too." officers all the way up to captains." Justin Sailer, El Dorado senior, said he found the journalistic experience, his first experience with interviewing a soldier, personally rewarding because it gave his schoolwork importance for someone beyond his peers. "We can do all this research and all this research and all this research," Sailer said. "But if we don't hear from somebody, or a room full of people rather, what they personally think could help them, then we're not really benefiting anyone. I think the -rewarding thing of this is sitting down with somebody and listening to a little bit of their story" MIKE GOODWIN Army Major Goodwin said he hoped that eventually all journalists would show the same eefer he saw the KU students make yesterday to better listen and understand him and his fellow colleagues. "I would like the media to keep in mind that we're people too," Goodwin said. "We're not that different than the average American."

"When you're 19, 20, 22, 25, you're immortal. You don't think about health care." In the heated national debate of health care reform, activists such as Andersen said young adults were apathetic. Despite the accusations, several KU organizations are working to encourage students to engage in the health care reform debate. They said students need to be involved in the political dialogue "I think a lot of students feel intimidated by this issue." Gina Burrows, Young Democrats president, said her organization would be working throughout the coming weeks to have events tailored toward health care reform.

HEALTH CARE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) ERIC FOSS College Republicans president According to a 2007 Commonwealth Fund report, 13.2 million adults ages 19 to 29 lack health insurance. The age group makes up close to one-third of the roughly 44 million uninsured Americans. Eric Foss, KU law student and College Republicans president, is attempting to ignite campus discussion. Foss organized a campus health care forum last Tuesday night in the Kansas Union to promote student dialogue. The event featured talks from two health care professionals, followed by a question and answer discussion. students not to be involved is just silly" "I think a lot of students feel intimidated by this issue," Foss said. "Hopefully once they learn Foss said about 20 students attended the forum, and, although he considered it a success, turnout was smaller than expected. more, they will see why it's so important." Foss said several variables contributed to a large population of uninsured young adults. Though students are often covered by their parents' plans or University student health insurance, this eligibility lasts for as long as they are a full-time student or until they turn 25. This is not the case for recent graduates. Instead, they often have entry-level, low-wage and temporary jobs that do not offer health care benefits. "This is a moment in history that is going to affect us for the rest of our lives." Foss said. "This is a make or break situation. For Students need to realize the long-term implications of the reforms, Foss said. He said relying on parents' health care plans wasn't a viable solution.

Although involvement is increasing, Foss said students needed to realize the immediacy of the issue. nizations such as Young Democrats or College Republicans needed to create easy, common sense ways for young people to get engaged in the debate about health care.

The store is one of the beauty supply shops in which investigators say New York City terror suspect Naiqalib Baju bought large quantities of chemicals in July and August with plans to detonate homemade bombs on New York City commuter trains.** BY ADAM GOLDMAN Associated Press Wholesale Prices To The Public!! BEAUTY SUPPLY WAREHOUSE WORLD'S BIGGEST BEAUTY SUPPLY & SALON NEW YORK — The Afghan immigrant accused of buying large quantities of hair dye and nail polish remover to make explosives had the goods to kill scores of people in New York — a devastating attack on a scale with the transit bombings in London and Madrid, according to documents and interviews with former FBI experts. ASSOCIATED PRESS Prosecutors have not said exactly what kind or number of bombs Najibullah Zazi planned to build, but court documents hint at the possibilities. It is likely he wanted to borrow a tactic used overseas by making bombs out of flour and hydrogen peroxide and putting them in backpacks, perhaps in the city's transit system, experts say. "These explosives are meant to be concealed easily and deployed easily and kill and maim." The case has been described as perhaps the most serious terrorist plot uncovered in the U.S. since 9/11. However, experts said Zazi, who is being held without bail in New York, had the means to kill scores of people — not hundreds or thousands. "These explosives are meant to be concealed easily and deployed easily and kill and maim and cause havoc in small areas," said Denny Kline, a retired FBI explosives expert. For a really big bomb, "you're going to need a truck." How far along Zazi managed to get is unclear. Investigators have not said whether he successfully built or tested any bombs. DENNY KLINE Retired FBI explosives expert Court documents indicate that the 24-year-old Zazi and others were hitting beauty supply stores, buying certain materials clearly used to make bombs. They bought He and others also bought acetone — nail polish remover concentrated bottles of hydrogen peroxide hair dye with names like Liquid Developer Clairxide, Ion Sensitive Scalp Developer and Ms. K Liquid 40 Volume. and other ingredients that can be used to make a powerful and highly unstable explosive called triacetone triperoxide, or TATP. The same explosive was used by would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid in 2001 and the terrorists who carried out the London bombings in 2005 that killed 52 people. But in each of those earlier instances, TATP was not the main charge — it was the detonator. It was supposed to help detonate the plastic explosives in Reid's shoe aboard a jetliner, and it was used to set off a mixture of black pepper and hydrogen peroxide in London. Likewise, experts in the Zazi case said the TATP was most likely going to be just the detonator. "It it is used more as a detonator because it's easy to initiate," said Leo W. West, a retired FBI explosives expert. "TATP is not the type of thing you want to bounce around with." While experts say hydrogen peroxide-based bombs are relatively easy to make with the correct recipe, Zazi was struggling. In early September, Zazi was communicating frantically with another individual "seeking to correct mixtures of ingredients to make explosives," according to court documents. Prosecutors say he requested information about flour and ghee oil, which is strained butter typically used in Indian communities. Notes lifted from Zazi's laptop computer discuss formulations for "mixing hydrogen peroxide with flour, and list ghee oil as a type of fuel that can be used to help initiate the explosive device," prosecutors said. ingredients and trying to make the bombs. TAPT is sensitive to heat, friction and shock. "TATA is not the type of thing you want to bounce around with." anybody inside. Dave Williams, another retired FBI explosives expert, said a half cup of TATP would blow the doors off a car and probably kill "It's very dangerous," Williams said. In 2006, an explosion ripped through a Texas apartment where two men were making TATP. One was killed, the other injured. LEO W. WEST Retired FBI explosives expert Mixing hydrogen peroxide and flour is less fraught with peril than the TATP, experts say. Court documents say Zazi twice rented a hotel room near Denver with a kitchen and his "bomb-making notes contemplate heating the components in order to make them highly concentrated." Investigators found acetone residue in the vent above the stove. The three components of TATP are hydrogen peroxide, acetone and an acid. Acetone can be bought in drug stores and home improvement stores alike. "They'd have to distill it, and that's where your cooking comes in." Williams said. "They'd have to make something that almost resembles a still so they could capture the acetone." It is probably not something Zazi would have done at home. "That would give off a lot of odor," Williams said. Explosives experts said Zazi might also have been trying to distill the hydrogen peroxide to reach a certain concentration, hitting what explosive experts call the "sweet spot." Muktar Said Ibrahim, one of the men convicted of conspiring to bomb London's transit system on July 21, 2005, testified how he and others bought hydrogen peroxide and reduced it in a saucepan to a dangerously high concentration. The chemical was then mixed with flour, packed into plastic tubes and topped with detonators made with TATP. The four bombs failed to explode. West said the bombers probably used the wrong concentration of hydrogen peroxide. However, a set of bombs detonated on July 7 in London worked, killing scores of people. The only difference in those bombs was that the terrorists used black pepper instead of flour. The 2004 Madrid terror bombings killed 191 people and injured 2,000 others but did not involve hydrogen peroxide-based explosives. Four crowded commuter trains were ripped apart with a string of 10 backpack bombs made of plastic explosives.

The队 runs different routes each day and runners decide where they are going to run while they warm up and stretch. Runners to tweak strategy BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com The cross country team will travel to Oklahoma this weekend for its biggest meet so far this season. The Oklahoma State Cowboy jamboree is the oldest cross country race in the country, dating back to 1937, and it still attracts many high caliber teams. Last year, the meet consisted of 27 teams in the women's race and 23 in the men's, more than both of the Kansas runners' previous meets combined. This year's meet will have just as much competition. The size of the meet will make it harder for the runners to focus on group packing, which is something that has been working well for them. "It is much harder to run as a pack in these bigger races, because you can kind of get lost in the soup," assistant coach Michael Whittlese said. This is something that has been addressed in practice,and the team has developed a strategy for the meet. "It will be harder but I still think we will be able to do it", sophomore Donny Wasinger said. "We'll just maybe be running in groups of smaller groups." The Oklahoma State men runners have had a strong season so far. According to the most recent U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association ranking, they are ranked No. 2 in the nation. "Having them run in front of us will definitely push us to run a little better, too," junior Nick Capriario said. On the women's side, senior Lauren Bonds will have to improve on the very successful meet that she ran last year. She placed ninth out of 205 runners. "I really want to improve upon my time from last year and, you know, really just get out there and compete and, you know, maybe beat some people that beat me last year," Bonds said. Last year the women's team placed fourth out of 27 teams. The Kansas women's team runs in a tighter pack than in previous years, which could help them finish higher up in the rankings and possibly make the top three. — Edited by Samantha Foster ROWING It all starts tomorrow on the western basin of the Oklahoma River. It starts after a team of athletes dared to try something new, studied and then mastered a craft once foreign, now second nature. It starts after the miles put in during practice, muscles burning like dry wood, blood boiling to regatta-ready temperatures. Kansas begins competing in 'Boot of the Oklahoma' After all the preparation, the first competition is here. The Kansas rowing team's schedule begins tomorrow in Oklahoma City, Okla., with the Boot of the Oklahoma, its first of four regattas this fall. The regatta entails a long race of 4000 meters and a sprint of 500 meters. While the event has no effect on season rankings, coach Ray Catloth said that it is important in translating work from practice into results on competitive waters. "We've been working on raising our fitness level and technical performance," Catloth said. "But it's still early." With only four regattas in the fall compared to the seven regattas in the spring, this time of year is seen more as in-season training. "We just want to go out and race hard and apply the changes we've been trying to make in practice on the race course," Catloth said. Max Rothman Venue poses extra challenge SOCCER 1 BY JOEL PETTERSON Sophomore midfielder Jeannette Francia avoids a slidetackle by a South Dakota defender on Sept 20, Kansas will face Texas ARM on Friday at 7 p.m. and Texas on Sunday at 1 p.m. Jerry Wang/KANSAN jpetterson@kansan.com If Kansas wants to improve on its 0-1 Big 12 start this weekend, it'll have to do so against pretty substantial odds. First, No. 19 Kansas (8-2-1 overall) must travel to College Station, Texas, to face the highest-ranked team in the Big 12, No. 15 Texas A&M (6-4 overall, 1-1 conference). The team will be without senior midfielder and team assist leader Monica Dolinsky, who received a red card on Sunday against Oral Roberts University, keeping her out of Friday's game. Coach Mark Francis said he still isn't sure how the team will adjust its strategy without Dolinsky, the team's offensive centerpiece. "We're going to have to put somebody in to replace her and figure out how we're going to play," he said. As if these obstacles weren't enough, the Jayhawks will be facing one of the toughest atmospheres in college soccer at Aggie Soccer Stadium in College Station. The Aggies led the nation two out of the past three years in attendance and boast an average crowd size this year of 3,684 - nearly three times the size of the next-closest Big 12 team. "Playing a Friday night there is always difficult because they have a big crowd," said Francis. "But it'll be exciting for our players. Playing in front of that many people — it's a rush for them." Despite their No. 19 ranking, the Jayhawks find themselves near the bottom of the Big 12 standings after their 0-3 defeat to Oklahoma State last Friday. However, Texas A&M is also coming off of a 2-3 conference loss at Oklahoma last Sunday. Francis said it was important for his team to come out of the weekend with some sort of positive result despite the difficult road stretch. "If you look around the conference, people are winning at home," he said. "So I think for us it's imperative to go on the road and get something out of the weekend, and then we get to come play at home again." Despite the odds, Francis said there was no reason for his team not to be confident with only two losses in the season and its 5-3 victory against Oral Roberts last Sunday. After Friday's game, the team will stay to face Texas on Sunday. The Longhorns are third in the conference standings after a 1-0-1 start in the Big 12, but their overall record is 4.5-1. The Texas A&M game will start at 7 p.m. on Friday, and the Texas match kicks off at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Fans can watch live video feeds of both games free of charge online.

NHL Reds pitcher denies using pine tar in Cardinals game MLB Capitals win season opener against Bruins CINCINNATI — Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo has denied accusations by the St. Louis Cardinals that he used pine tar to get better rips on pitches. black stuff comes off on young fingers every time," Arroyo said. "I guess (Duncan) said I went to my hat time every time. Yeah, I do 8,000 other twitches. What you want me to do about it? That's how I pitch. BOSTON — Alex Ovechkin had two goals and an assist, and Jose Theodore stopped 19 shots to lead the Washington Capitals to a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night in the season-opener. St. Louis manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan both told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the stain on the bill of Arroyo's cap was pine tar that helped him grip balls during a 6-1 victory Wednesday. Arroyo said the stain on his cap is residue from mud used to rub baseballs at other ballparks. Cardinals starter John Smoltz found balls slippery and walked five walks in four innings while allowing six runs and six hits. Duncan said umpires assured him balls were properly rubbed. New baseballs are rubbed by clubhouse attendants with a special mud designed to give pitchers a better grip. "It's from playing in every other park where there's so much mud on the balls that that "I guarantee when I pitch against the Cardinals next year, I'll call over and tell Dave Duncan I'm wearing a brand new hat" Reds manager Dusty Baker said the Cardinals have their own experience with doctored caps. receiver Ruvell Martin says he's finally up to speed with the playbook.

Now, more than eight decades later, a rumor is sweeping the Hundred Acre Wood. According to Owl, who heard it from Rabbit, who heard it from Piglet, the adventures are about to resume. It falls to the bear to pass on the news to Eeyore. LITERATURE . "It's Christopher Robin," said Winnie-the-Pooh. "He's coming back." Winnie-the-Pooh gets sequel after 81 years BY JENNIFER QUINN Associated Press "When I first mentioned it there was sort of a shocked silence." MICHAEL BROWN Trustee of Pooh Properties The drama (and for the Hundred Acre Wood, where life is lived gently, this qualifies) unfurls in the first authorized sequel to A.A. Milne's classic children's tales. Called "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood," the book by author David Benedictus goes on sale Oct. 5 and picks up where Milne's "The House at Pooch Corner," first published in 1928, left off. Pooh purists are surprised anyone thinks there's a need for a new book, arguing that Milne's work should be left to stand alone. But the Trustees of Pooh Properties — which manages the affairs of the estates of Milne and illustrator E.H. Shepard — had long wanted to carry on with the books first published in the 1920s. "When I first mentioned it there was sort of a shocked silence, and the people to whom I spoke said, 'ooh, you can't do that. Oh, no no no. That wouldn't do at all," recalled trustee Michael Brown, when he first raised the possibility of a sequel. It wasn't until the trustees read an early version of the story that Benedictus sent them that they felt there was an appropriate successor, Brown said. This is a classic-looking Pooh. In the illustrations by Mark Burgess, Christopher Robin seems a little older, but Piglet returns to his traditional green outfit, and the bear hasn't dropped any weight. But there is a new addition to the Wood's residents, according to advance publicity: Lotte the Otter, a stickler for etiquette who is also a keen fan of the very English game of cricket, joins the crowd.

EDITORIAL BOARD Safety at intersection needs improvements FUCHTEN Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Every day, at the top of a busy hill, hundreds of University students cross the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road on their way to class. These students deserve a safer intersection, one that is better focused on the day-to-day pedestrian traffic coming and going from the residence halls. "When it gets busy it's hard to see all the cars coming and is almost scary to cross," said Matt Hannasch, Omaha, Neb., freshman. Hannasch is one of the numerous students who walk from the residence halls atop Daisy Hill to campus every day. Many of these students say they don't like the current state of safety provided. "It needs stop signs," sai Mandelbaum, Wichita freshman. "All the students I've talked to think it needs at least stop signs." intersection. The intersection at 15th Street and Engel Road had 72 accidents between 2000 and 2008, according to the KU Public Safety Office. This should be reason enough for increasing safety at this Two flashing signs warn drivers to slow down to 20 mph, but they don't specifically warn of an upcoming pedestrian crosswalk or indicate when the crosswalk is full. Because of the low visibility and the high walking traffic at this crosswalk, a sign warning drivers of an upcoming and often busy crosswalk would likely improve student safety. Even better than a warning sign would be something to notify drivers far away of an occupied crosswalk. "It would be nice if there was a crossing light," Hannasch said. Placing a flashing warning for pedestrians to warn drivers of an occupied crosswalk or converting the existing signs would be an effective way to increase safety at the intersection. Drivers from farther away would be able to slow down sooner and drive more cautiously at the intersection. It would not be conducive to traffic flow to turn the intersection into a four-way stop. Even though this would increase safety for pedestrians, it would likely cause even more congestion on campus, especially during already crowded times such as rush hours and times before and after basketball games. Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said in an e-mail that the office would "support a study of the intersection to see what, if any, changes could be made to improve the overall safety of the intersection." The crosswalk is under management of the City of Lawrence, and any changes would be under the jurisdiction of the traffic and engineering department. It shouldn't require waiting for a tragic accident to occur just to increase safety at this intersection. The city should do its best to protect students at the University by looking into improving pedestrian security. — Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board CAMPUS RIP HIS PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OFF!!! MARIAM SAIFAN Different season, same chant After last year's football season, I was hoping to never need to address this topic again. It was my naive notion that the vulgar football kickoff chant would cease to exist. Unfortunately, several students are still willing to jeopardize the image of the University for a few seconds of immaturity. KU football is in a place it hasn't been in years. The success of the team continues to put the program and the University on a national stage. Although the football team is the focus of this attention, we, the students, are also being looked at, criticized and judged. The students have always had the power to shape the perception of the University, and now with more attention being paid to the football team, the responsibility of the students should be held to a higher standard. The chant can be distinctly heard when KU games are televised. This has forced networks to bleep out the kickoff, or just not show it. Networks could choose to not broadcast KU football games at all in an effort to uphold a positive image of their station. CAMPUS CONNECTION ERIN BROWN Likewise, students should be concerned with what image of the University they are showing to spectators across the country. Students have an obligation to represent their University positively and should remember this obligation when attending any athletic event. Students are entitled to have fun and enjoy themselves while watching KU athletics. They should be able to participate in traditions and cheer on their favorite athletic teams. However, the vulgar football chant is hardly comparable to other long-standing KU traditions, such as walking through the Campanile on graduation day or jumping in the Chi Omega fountain on your birthday. Even more so, the chant does not encourage the victory of our team or establish pride in our school like the Rock Chalk Chant. The offensive chant simply demonstrates a lack in judgment and character among a select few students who still seem to consider it necessary. For the freshmen and transfer students experiencing their first few KU home games, participating in traditions is especially exciting. By choosing to yell the obscene chant, upperclassmen have demonstrated to new students that disrespect is not only tolerated but also encouraged within the student section. Instead of setting a high standard of sportsmanship, the student section has chosen to set a standard of immaturity. I understand this problem presents no simple solution, as controlling the student section is neither right nor possible. At this stage in our lives we are considered adults and are expected to act accordingly. I can only encourage as many students as possible to refrain from yelling the offensive chant in hopes that it will simply die out and the real KU traditions can live on.

AGRICULTURE Organic foods revealed Last month, scientist and humanitarian Norman Borlaug died after devoting his life to feeding the world. He was an agricultural scientist who won the Nobel Peace Prize, was given the title of the father of the "green revolution" and whose discoveries in improving crops around the world are credited with saving more than a billion lives. But he also was a strong opponent to the organic farming movement that accompanied his agricultural revolution. The reason why such an environmentalist was so opposed to organic agriculture was because organic crops are no healthier than those of conventional agriculture, and the organic farming practices are far from sustainable. "Organic," in addition to being the field of chemistry that is the bane of every pre-med student's existence, has also become an increasingly popular label on health foods. Organic food must be grown "without antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, irradiation or bioengineering," and the farmers must "adhere to certain soil and water conservation methods and to rules about the humane treatment of animals," according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On the surface, this kind of farming sounds as if it should produce healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly food. But this kind of agriculture is, at best, misleading and, at worst, wasteful. Organic agriculture is not healthier than conventional agriculture. In a recent report commissioned by the Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom, there is no difference in nutritional value between organic and conventional food. A team of scientists reviewed a huge number of studies in the scientific literature and concluded that there is no evidence to support the claim that organic food has any additional nutritional value or health benefits. Proponents of organic foods SAI THE SCIENCE GUY SAI FOLMSBEE often point to the presence of pesticides on conventional produce as a health risk to consumers, but there is no evidence to support this claim either. Although trace amounts of pesticides can be found on conventional agriculture, they are often found on organic food as well, which are often grown with organic pesticides. But in any case, there is no evidence that such small amounts of chemicals could lead to any health problems in those who consume produce. In addition to the lack of health benefits, organic food is wasteful. Organic agriculture generally has lower yields than conventional agriculture, meaning less produce is made per acre of land set aside to farm. The only way to subsist a world of organic farming would be to destroy millions of acres of virgin ecosystems, and even then it may not provide enough food. Organic agriculture simply cannot feed the world, which was the primary reason that Borlaug was so opposed to it. Borlaug was one of the world's greatest scientists and humanitarians. His mission to end world starvation through scientific innovation saved more than a billion lives, and our generation of scientists needs to honor this commitment. Organic food has no significant health benefits and demonstrates an embarrassingly backward step in our goal of increasing crop yields. Using the best evidence available, we need to instead work to simultaneously sustain human life, health and the environment through scientific improvement of agriculture.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO Drinking habits formed before freshman year As a returning student to the University of Kansas, I'm keenly aware of the binge-drinking crisis on campus. Not once, but twice last year my day began with the tragic news that the life of a fellow Jayhawk had been cut short by alcohol. In response to these deaths, the University has implemented a medical amnesty policy, a parental notification policy and a mandatory alcohol education program. Despite all of this, a surveybyNewStudentOrientation confirms what many already know: Binge drinking doesn't start in college. For this reason, requiring alcohol education at the college level seems unlikely to curb binge drinking. The survey suggests that nearly half of the students in the class of 2013 went to high school parties where they consumed five or more alcoholic beverages. This is in agreement with a separate study suggesting that on any given day, more than 25 percent of high school seniors have binged in the previous two weeks. Generally, having four to five drinks in two hours is considered binge drinking. The roots of binge drinking may reach beyond high school, all the way back to childhood. Research suggests that perceptions of alcohol begin to develop as early as pre-school and that these perceptions are indicative of future alcohol use and abuse. Binge drinking is such a deep-rooted problem that it seems unlikely a two-hour online course will do anything other than waste two hours. As one freshman said, "I think it's kind of pointless, because if kids want to drink, they're going to drink no matter what." At this point, a two-hour online course isn't going to change anyone's mind. Thomas K. Whitson is a doctoral student from Olathe.

Quarterback Todd Reesing faked a handoff to running back Toben Opurum and then darted outside in what appeared to be an option with wide receiver Kerry Meier. With the defense shifting its eyes to focus on the interaction between Reesing and Meier, wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe flashed into the picture, hauling in Reesing's pitch for a 20-yard reverse touchdown. It played out exactly as it was conceptualized. Weston White/KANSAN 8 90 20 Biggest surprises 1. Maxwell Onyegbule.In his previous three years,Onyegbule played sparingly and usually without making much of an impact. That hasn't been the case this season.Onyegbule is second in sacks and tackles for a loss while also returning an interception for a touchdown. He's proven to be a capable playmaker. 2. Defensive line. Entering this season Kansas' defensive line was filled with more question marks than answers. Nobody, it seemed, knew what to expect. But through four games the defensive line has been a pleasant surprise, consistently generating pressure while clamping down on the run game. KANSAS 90 Biggest disappointments 1. Dropped passes. Kansas' offense has been solid this season, piling up yards and points against lesser teams. Yet the yankees have left plenty of both stil on the field. Kansas's receivers, including junior wide receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Johnathan Wilson, have dropped passes throughout the nonconference season. Some of those drops easily could have resulted in touchdowns. 2. The fans. The Jayhawks have posted "sell-outs" in each of its first four games this season. But fans have continued an alarming trend: Show up to games late and leave early. Against a talented Southern Miss team, the student section wasn't even full. Offensive MVP Offensive MVP Senior quarterback Todd Reesing Maxwell Onyegbule PETER ROBINSON Senior running back Jake Sharp was on pace to win this award before an injury sidelined him for almost two games. In his place steps Reesing, Kansas' quarterback, who is putting together a solid senior campaign. He's thrown for 1,137 yards, passed for nine touchdowns and is completing what would be a career-best 67.1 percent of his passes. Not a bad career-capper. Reesing Defensive MVP Junior defensive end Jake Laptad Junior defensive end Jake Lapta Throughout his career Laptad has been a steady performer along the defensive line. And he's only continued improving. He leads the Jayhawks in sacks and tackles for a loss while also turning in big plays: He sacked Southern Miss' quarterback for a 10-yard loss to seal Kansas' victory last week. Laptad 3. The general feeling when watching Kansas' offense is this: The Jayhawks have played well so far, but the unit could — and should — play even better. That's a scary thought. 2. Kansas has used a variety of trick plays this season. Players say they love running them and they sure are entertaining to watch unfold. Here's to hoping we've seen only the tip of the iceberg. 1. Let's be honest This non-conference season has gone almost exactly as expected. Kansas has rolled through lesser opponents and handled its one challenge in Southern Miss.And there haven't been too many surprises along the way. The numbers... 837 Kansas' rushing yards this season Noted... 237 Opponents'rushing yards against Kansas 511.5 Kansas' average yards per game 52 Percent of third downs Kansas converts 28 Percent of third downs converted by opponents 15 Sacks by Kansas' defense this "I feel like we're at a good point right now. 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." Best lines Junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe after Kansas 4-4-16 victory against Duke YANGERMAN "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." Briscoe — Coach Mark Mangino on the health of junior kicker Jacob Branstetter Mangino "That's a big gut check. 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." Junior cornerback Chris Harris on stopping Southern Miss in the fourth quarter THE EDITOR Harris What we're still wondering... How good can this offense be? Kansas ranks third in total offense and ninth in scoring offense in the nation. Still, there seems to be a sense that the unit could be even better. After games this season, players have talked about leaving points on the board. Can the offense really get that much better? What we learned... The defense, as a whole, struggled last season. So far, this year's unit appears to be improved and more polished. Kansas completely shut down its first three opponents while making key stops against a capable Southern Miss team. Plus, with a better pass rush, the secondary is playing better this year. Down the road Kansas' conference schedule opens with two winnable games against Iowa State and Colorado. After that, though, there isn't much wiggle room. The Jayhawks need to start 6-0 to give themselves breathing room for when Oklahoma and Texas pop up on the schedule. Texas Tech Game to keep an eye on Sure, Kansas' matchup against Nebraska could very well decide the Big 12 North. But Kansas' game at Texas Tech will really show how far along this team is. Can the Jayhawks slow the pass? Can they win in a hostile environment?

Turns out that something special was tailback Daniel Porter. "I got my mojo back tonight," Porter said, adding, "I'm not going to say I was in a slump, but I wasn't getting my yards." Porter kept Hawai on the chase the entire game. The senior surpassed his season total of 145 yards rushing, as did the team with 352.

In an effort to me In an effort to make up for the hard economic times the league is facing, the NBA proposed an offer to lower the pay of the referees. The pay cut was 10 percent of the total referee budget and the National Basketball Referees Association declined. The result is a referee lock-out. For this season, at least, the refs will be replaced by those of lesser experience. The NBA better beware: You get what you pay for. Being a basketball referee is one of the toughest jobs in sports. It involves a lot of composure, judgment calls and extreme vision. I once saw a story about the refs watching games in high speed to work the eye muscles and reflexes. There is tedious preparation for these games. But putting these new referees in is going to hurt everyone for the first couple of months, at least. As a ref, you get to know player tendencies and their intentions. Don't be surprised to see BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com There is also an intimidation factor. Yes, the NBA is doing everything it can to prepare these replacement refs but can you prepare anyone for a 6-foot-8-inch, 260 pound individual screaming and pleading? That may present a challenge for both the players and refs. On top of all that, what does this scenario say about the financial situation of the rest of the jobs related to the league? Players, coaches, owners and everybody else involved should be worried if "In da locker room, snuck to post my twit. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up." one of the big three professional sports leagues is making such extreme sacrifices. NBA CRACKING DOWN ON SOCIAL MEDIA It wasn't a groundbreaking tweet itself, but it was a glimpse of the possibilities. The use of social David Stern has been busy. Wednesday, the NBA established a new policy burning social media such as Twitter during games. According to nba.com, players, coaches and basketball operations personnel will be unable to use communicating devices 45 minutes before games, halftime and until all their duties after the game are completed. This isn't the most significant policy in the world. Detroit Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva is the first and last player to use Twitter during a game: THE MORNING BREW media has propelled the spread of news and networking. But is seeing how a player feels during a game on his own accord a big loss to the fans? Hardly. In that respect, this is a good decision for the NBA. There are enough distractions these days for players and coaches. We don't need players' heads tweeting in the clouds. - Edited by Sarah Kelly Follow Kansan writer Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/c_tribodeaux.

Jayson Jenks BIG 12 FOOTBALL Yankee Stadium to host four Big 12 bowl games The Royals may not be the only local team making road trips to Yankee Stadium next year. The Jayhawks could be one of the Big 12 teams selected to represent the conference in a new bowl game held at Yankee Stadium starting in 2010. As part of an agreement between the Big 12 and the Big East conferences officially announced by the Big 12 Conference Wednesday, Yankee Stadium will host an annual college football bowl game that will take place sometime between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. "This is a great day for New York City and the Bronx, as we bring a premier college football bowl game to Yankee Stadium," said Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner in a prepared statement. From 1925-1946, the old Yankee Stadium was home to the annual Notre Dame-Army game, including the "win one for the Gipper" game. It was also home to numerous other events, including title fights, soccer matches and concerts. The bowl game will pit the Big East's third or fourth selection with the Big 12' s seventh selection, barring the Big 12' s representative being bowl eligible. If no remaining Big 12 teams are eligible for bowl play, Notre Dame has agreed to take part in the game. "This is a tremendous opportunity for the Big 12 Conference and its member institutions," said Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in a prepared swatement. "The commitment to postseason college football being made by the Steinbrenner family, the Yankee organization and the city of New York will provide our student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans a truly unique bowl experience." The bowl was passed with a four-year agreement, ensuring the bowls' continuation through the 2013 college football season. When held, the game will be the first NCAA football bowl game in the Bronx since December 15, 1962, when Nebraska beat Miami (Fla). 36-34. It will be the first football game held in the new Yankee stadium. — Clark Goble THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY 足球 Soccer at Texas A&M, 7 p.m. SATURDAY 跑步 体育运动会 Cross Country OSU Cowboy Jamboree, 9 a.m. Stillwater, Okla.

ANDREWS, Scotland — Thomas Bjorn shot an 8-under 64 to take a two-stroke lead in the first round of the $5 million Dunhill Links championship on Thursday. The 38-year-old Dane bounced back from the disappointment of seeing his European team lose the Vivendi Trophy last week to make six birdies and an eagle on the 7,160-yard Kingsbarns layout on the outskirts of St. Andrews. "I drove the ball fantastic all day and that set it up," he said, adding that he missed just one fairway, and that only by inches. "When you drive it as well as I did today, the golf course becomes "When you drive it as well as I did today, the golf course becomes very simple ...

Rory McLloy of Northern Ireland, third in this event two years ago, had a 68 at Carnoustie, as did Darren Clarke. Two-time champion Padraig Harrington shot 70 at Carnoustie, where he won the first of his two successive Open titles in 2007.

The champion wins $800,000. Bjorn captained Europe in a 16%-11% loss to Britain and Ireland last week in the Vivendi Trophy, a Ryder Cup-style team event. He is also the chairman of the Players Tournament Committee, and those duties have been taking up a lot of his time. "I put a lot into last week and there has been a lot of stuff going on this year. These are tough, worrying times with companies cutting sponsorships, and I have those responsibilities on behalf of the players," Bjorn said. "But today, nothing was out of synch. Everything came together." Starting at the 10th, Bjorn birdied four of his first seven holes. He eagled the long third with a 30-foot putt and birdied two of the next three with good approaches. McIlroy, who is playing the proam side of this event with his father Gerry, was 1 over after four holes but birdied five holes after that. "This sets me up for a nice week," he said. "It was a solid start on the toughest course and gives me something to build on." McIlroy is third in the lucrative Race to Dubai standings, but with Martin Kaymer and Paul Casey injured, he could pass them both this week. "I think on every hole there was something that jogged the memory," said the Irishman, who has had top-10 finishes in his last six events after missing eight cuts earlier in the year as he remodeled his swing. Harrington admitted that memories of his 2007 Open triumph came flooding back.

Harris said entering Big 12 play with a number in the loss column doesn't make for a fun week of practices without a game. That's why, in the moments after Kansas' victory against Southern Mississippi on Saturday that pushed the Jayhawks to 4-0, Harris talked with a sense of optimism about the bve week. "This bye week is all improvement," Harris said "Practices are so much harder when you're going into the Big 12 with a loss." In general, nonconference and conference games are categorized into two separate seasons. With that in mind, The Kansan looks back at the Jayhawks play in their first four games while looking ahead to the start of the Big 12 season. "We're pleased with where we're at but we aren't by any stretch comfortable with where we're at," senior wide receiver Kerry Meier said.

SMITH 23 33 Photos by Weston White/KANSAN SWIMMING & DIVING Focus shifts to fundamentals for Big 12 Relays BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com Coach Clark Campbell identified starts and turns as areas in need of improvement following the alumni meet Sept. 18. These two skills have been themes for the team throughout its training this year. [A black and white photograph of a swimmer] With just two weeks until the Big 12 Relays and one week until the annual intrasquad meet, the swimming and diving team has been fine tuning problem areas and increasing the intensity in practices. "The beginning of the season was dedicated to doing starts and turns," freshman swimmer Madi Landi said. t To improve these two abilities the swimmers have been doing plenty of repetition. In practice they have done repeat 25-yard sprints, one length of the pool, with a dive before each sprint. Also, Campbell estimates that swimmers will perform upwards of 200 turns during a normal practice. Junior swimmer lulia Kuzhil competes in the mixed 100-yard individual medley during the alumni swim meet at Robinson Natatorium Friday afternoon. Kuzhil outpaced former team members in the 50-yard backstroke with a first place time of 26.31 seconds. Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrew_taylor11 Work on turns in deep water has also accompanied the repetition. In this type of technique drill, the swimmers do a turn entirely underwater. This allows them to feel the resistance of the water much more than doing normal turns. Chance Dibben/KANSAN "When you do repetition you can either reinforce good habits or bad habits." Campbell said. "Doing that really cleans things up naturally," Campbell said. The team has also taken its improvement in these areas into its own hands. As the team centers its attention on improving starts and turns, senior swimmer and team captain Carrah Haley said that training has intensified in anticipation of the Big 12 Relays on Oct.16. "There have been a lot of swimmers staying after practice to work on starts and turns," senior diver and team captain Meghan Proehl said. "The first couple of weeks people were getting antsy," Haley said referring to the team's early season preparation. During early season training, the team primarily spent time running and lifting, with minimal pool work. The team shifted its training primarily to the pool in mid-September as in-season training began. Now, the team works with coaches for about 20 hours each week. Most of this time is spent training in the pool. the season, the divers have been working toward similar goals. While the swimmers strive to ready themselves by the start of "We've been in the weight room and we've been seeing a huge improvement, especially in the freshmen," Proehl said. their jumps, which the weight room work helps improve, and work on fundamentals. "Good fundamentals lay the base for harder dives later on," Campbell said. - Edited by Sarah Kelly The focal areas for the divers revolve around getting height on COMMENTARY } Nutrition important for student athletes BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com I consider myself something of a foodie. Add exercise and health to this passion, and there is an interesting combination that relates to Kansas sports. In particular, I read a rather humorous story last week about men's basketball preseason morning practices being so intense that players sometimes lose their breakfast. I understand that both Kansas football and basketball teams take their strength and conditioning practices very seriously. Sometimes I wonder though if these athletes are aware of the fact that nutrition may have a bigger effect on overall physical ability than those vomit-inducing hours of practice. Perhaps our star athletes are completely avoiding these dietary hazards and that's why they're so fit. However, I'm inclined to believe that these student athletes are humans, and subsequently, college kids, who may not be perfect examples of health and nutrition. Throw in other factors that usually undermine the good health and fitness of young twenty-somethings, including smoking, drinking or injury due to over-exercising along with poor sleep and eating habits, and it's a wonder that any university in this country has an athletic program with exceptionally fit athletes. I must admit I don't know the dietary regimen of our football and basketball players, but as a busy senior in college, I know well the pitfalls of going several days without eating meaningful servings of fresh organic fruit, vegetables and whole grains The National Center for Health Statistics did a study on college student habits that indicated repeatedly that we don't sleep enough, eat food too high in sodium and processed corn sugar and drink too much high calorie soda and fruit juice. The Aug. 17 issue of Time magazine reported on the relationship between one's eating habits and how much exercise can truly make one healthy and fit. For example, if a typical preseason men's basketball practice is two hours long, then a player could burn well over 1,000 calories in that session. However, if he should go home and gulp down a few sodas and burgers, then his body might get mixed signals. On one hand, these signals mean his body is glad to have received a strenuous workout, but on the other hand, its synthesis of overly processed, fatty or salty foods will blunt the benefits of lifting weights or hours of cardiovascular cross training. Edited by Jonathan Hermes What is more worrisome is the fact that one pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Mathematically speaking, a student athlete would have to attend two or three morning practices to lose one pound. T Follow Jordan Williams at twitter. com/salvio_hexia.

THE WAVE OCTOBER 2,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1. COLUMN 3 16 KANSAS 53 2 Anything's possible in college sports Upsets are a big deal in the Toland Tournament Challenge — the most intense, exceptionally well-run NCAA Tournament pool I have ever seen. The whole idea goes something like this: Each family member gets to pick one Cinderella team (a team seeded 9-16) that he or she thinks will advance to the Sweet 16. If your team makes the Sweet 16, then you are awarded 20 bonus points — enough bonus points to lock up the Toland Tournament Challenge Championship. The 1999 Toland Tournament Challenge provided the most memorable example of the importance of the upset. My brother Kent was just seven years old and was still thinking about his pick for a Cinderella team. He had tossed some ideas around, but was still stuck. Good thing my older brother Mark was around to help him out. The exchange went something like this. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor Kent: "Hey Mark, who should I pick?" Mark: "Pick Gonzaga, Kent. They're really good." Kent took the "advice," and he also took the Toland Tournament Challenge Championship. The 10th-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs not only made the Sweet 16, but they nearly made the Final Four. Gonzaga made it all the way to the Elite Eight before it lost to Connecticut. This meant that Kent received a ridiculous amount of bonus points and blew away his older brothers and sister to win the 1999 title. College sports are unpredictable. All right, I'll admit it — that's a pretty big understatement. That's like saying Alaska gets kind of cold in the winter or that the New York Yankees have had a few good seasons. College sports are unpredictable in a big way, and that's what makes them so great. It all starts with the upsets. Upsets are what make March Madness so popular and college football so fun to watch. There's nothing like watching a team that had no chance knock off a heavy favorite. I usually like upsets, except when they happen to Kansas or cost me the championship in my family's annual NCAA Tournament pool. Just four weeks into the college football season, there have already been a season's worth of big upsets. Last weekend, three of the top six teams went down, giving new title hopes to Oklahoma and USC, who have already lost games were supposed to win. In the past few years, upsets have almost become expected. A Final Four run by George Mason in 2006 became inspiration for every mid-major team that has ever dreamed of making a run in the Big Dance. The 2007 Kansas football team started the season unranked, before rising to No. 2 in the polls and upsetting Virginia Tech to win the Orange Bowl. I almost always pick all four No. 1 seeds to make it to the Final Four. The only time I decided not to was in 2008, when it happened for the first time. Anything can happen in college sports. The College Gameday crew might just show up at Memorial Stadium in three weeks if Kansas is still undefeated. The Sooners will likely be in the top 10 and Kansas has a chance to be 6-0 going into the game. It should be a great matchup and right now I don't see a better game to be at on Oct.24. The unpredictability of college sports is what makes them so good. Unlike professional sports, college athletes don't take days off, and this makes any team a threat to surprise a superior team. If a 7-year-old's Cinderella team can make it to the Elite Eight, surely ESPN can make it to Lawrence to cover the Jayhawks. The Kansas Jayhawks celebrate after winning the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, 2008. The win capped an improbable 12-1 season for the team.

Both teams entered the contest with 3-0 records, and the game was tied at 28 after three quarters of play.A touchdown pass from Todd Reesing to Kerry Meier proved to be the game-winning play in the fourth quarter.

WOLF WASHIGTON VS. NOTRE DAME 17 Washington knocked off mighty USC just two weeks ago, while Notre Dame is just a few points away from being 4-0. The Huskies are playing with a lot of confidence, but the Fighting Irish will be ready to play in South Bend, Ind. This game goes to the home team. California running back Jahvid Best breaks free during the first half of last week's game against Oregon. The Golden Bears lost 42-3 and are hoping to recover with a victory against the USC Irojans on Saturday. Cal SC CALIFORNIA VS. USC In-state matchup has big implications in conference race This is a matchup of two teams who are still recovering from upset losses on the road. Both teams expected to contend for the conference title and this game could go a long way in determining who the best team is in the Pac-10, California running back Jahvid Best will be looking to have a big game, but he hasn't faced anything yet this season like the mighty Trojans' defense. USC has enough firepower to win the national championship, but still hasn't put all of the pieces together this season. Pete Carroll should coach his team to victory in this contest.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 2, 2009 6 FEATURE SHOOTING FOR SOMET BIGGER Senior Emily Powers leads this year's golf team as Kansas tries to qualify for regionals for the first time in school history By Andrew Wituszynski awitszynski.vanskian.com When Emily Powers first stepped on the University of Kansas campus, she couldn't believe her eyes. "Emily was thrilled at the opportunity to go to KU from the first time she saw the University," says her dad, Tim Powers. When Powers first came to Kansas as a freshman, she was simply a fairways and greens type of player. Powers credits her coach Erin O'Neil for improvements in her game. "When I first arrived at KU I was a decent golfer, but coach O'Neil has put so many new shots in my golf bag," she says. That arrival was four years ago. Now Powers is the No.1 golfer for the women's golf team. Powers is a senior this year and next year she will likely play on the Futures Tour and possibly even in the more prestigious LPGA tour. There is so much for Powers to look forward to, but for right now she is just happy to be living in the moment here. Powers has quite the track record as a golfer. She earned All Big-12 honors as a sophomore, earned her only win in the Marilyn Smith Invitational last year as a junior and even qualified as one of only 26 amateurs for the U.S. Open. These are some huge accomplishments, but Powers would say her greatest accomplishment is ongoing. "Just being here at KU is what I'm most proud of;" she says. "I always wanted to play golf at a big university." For a golfer with so many individual accolades, her number one goal has always been team-oriented. This year, that goal is to make history. "We've never made it to regionals, ever," Powers says. "Not since I've been here, not since the beginning of women's golf at KU. That is my goal this year, to make it to regionals." Powers cares more about the team than herself, and that is the exact attitude an athlete needs for success. Anyone could see by watching her play the game that Powers just wants her team do well. "I want to be remembered by my teammates as someone who was always there for them and willing to help out and support them," Powers says. "I want to be remembered as a leader" That is exactly the way Powers will be remembered, according to teammate Sydney Wilson. "Emily does her best to be a leader on and off the golf course,"Wilson says."She is very committed to the team." Spectators could also see by watching Powers play that she just wants to have fun. "I would describe myself as a weird and quirky person," Powers says. "I have a different sense of humor than my teammates and I like to be the one to make people laugh." As a freshman, while waiting to tee off at a tournament in New Mexico, Powers was listening to her iPod and dancing "badly," Powers says. "Most people were looking at me like I was strange, but the announcer for the tournament actually ended up coming out of the announcer room and dancing with me. I'm OK with embarrassment," she says. Powers has realized, though, that the laid-back approach to her game may need to change in the upcoming season. At the U.S. Open, which Powers says was "an incredible experience," she heard her calling. "Playing in the U.S. Open showed me what I want to do," she says. "I got cut after the first two rounds, but in the future I want to be making the final rounds of those tournaments." Powers' family got to go to the U.S. Open. Tim, her father, says it was a busy summer. "It was a thrilling experience because it was the one tournament everyone wanted to be in. We are so proud of her," he says. But she's got to practice hard to make it past the second round. Professional golfers practice around eight hours per day at minimum, something Powers finds hard to do. That changed this summer. Powers started to take a more professional approach to her practice routine. She woke up at 6 a.m. to work out, then would play and practice her game from 8 p.m. until lunch. Then she would go back out on the course for more. "I have trouble focusing on just two hours." Powers says. "I have to be more focused this year," Powers says. To get to the LPGA tour and succeed, Powers is going to have to work her way up. Nobody is going to hand her anything. Powers will have to work hard and keep up with her new professional routine. "That is exactly what I'll have to do to get to that level," she says.

The loser is effectively eliminated from the national title conversation. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops hasn't ruled quarterback Sam Bradford out for the contest, but if he is 70 or 80 percent, expect him to see the field. The problem for the Sooners is that they are heading into a rowdy environment on primetime television, and there's a reason they are often called "Choke-lahoma."

"I tried to play hockey," she says. "It just wasn't for me." In a household dominated by mostly by hockey,it's almost ironic that it was her mother who introduced Boogaard,now a junior,to basketball,a sport she says was not so popular when she was growing up. "My mom was my first coach, so she was the one who taught me the game," Boogaard says. "She's basically the basketball side of the family, and my dad's more of the hockey side." Even then, basketball was never a sure thing because Boogaard excelled at a number of sports, from badminton to water polo. Basketball stuck with Boogaard though, and she became one of the best high school prospects in Canada. She even played for the Canadian Junior Women's National team last summer in the FIBA Americans-Under 18 Championships. Kansas is thankful Boogaard chose basketball as well, because she has been a steady presence for the Jayhawks during her first two seasons in Lawrence. She has averaged 9.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in her career, and she boasts All-Big 12 Rookie Team accolades from her freshman campaign. As solid as her numbers may be, the 6-foot-5 junior's play has always been considered more finesse than physical, and despite being the tallest player on the team. Boogaard finished second in blocks last season. Determined to improve her all-around game, Boogaard spent the offseason working hard during the team's strength and conditioning program to gain more muscle. Krysten Boogaard is preparing for her junior year at Kansas. Boogaard, who is from Canada, said her mother introduced her to basketball after Boogaard had tried other sports such as hockey. "I've been working on getting stronger," she says. "It's been one of my goals since I got here." The argument could be made that physicality runs in the family. Two of her brothers, Derek and Aaron, play for the Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguin NHL organizations, respectively. Both are known for their hard-hitting style and enforcer-type roles, and have started a fighting camp for youngsters. Boogaard joked that her brothers are never shy about offering up advice on being tough. "They say things like just go throw some elbows," she says. "They don't really understand that's something you can't do in basketball." The work Krysten has put in during the summer has impressed coach Bonnie Henrickson. Henrickson, who has been stressing defense this offseason, is excited about the prospect of having Boogaard be a stronger presence on both ends of the court. "I'm really proud of her progress physically," Henrickson says. "She's gotten a lot stronger and is willing to play more physically." Big and strong or not, Henrickson described her center as quiet and soft spoken, but with a hard-headed side. "She's very stubborn," Henrickson jokes. "And we like giving her a hard time about that." Henrickson also says Boogaard had come out of her shell a bit during workouts this summer, and that staying in Kansas this summer perhaps had helped her with that. Coupled with Boogaard's improved strength, implications are she'll gain some more confidence on the court, too. That self-assurance is already showing, as all of Boogaard's work in the offseason has her ready and optimistic about this season. "She's not going to get pushed around down low this year," Henrickson says. "Obviously I want to go as far as possible, make it to the tournament and win a national championship," Boogaard said. "Which Division I team doesn't want that?"

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 2, 2009 10 BIG 12 KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Wildcats to take on Iowa State at Arrowhead 83 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State wide receiver Brandon Banks runs into the end zone to score a touchdown in the first quarter of the Wildats' game against Tennessee Tech last Saturday, in Manhattan. Kansas State travels to Arrowhead Stadium to play Iowa State this weekend. By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian MANHATTAN — It looks like Wildcat Nation may have witnessed Brandon Banks' comingout party last weekend against Tennessee Tech. - When I watch replays of his two touchdowns, I can't help but imagine Mitch Holthus' radio calls of David Allen returning punts back in the glory years. - Hopefully, Banks can recreate some of that success this weekend against Iowa State at Arrowhead Stadium. Chances are the team will need it. - Daniel Thomas should post another 100-yard performance, but I'd be really surprised if Bill Snyder has Carson Coffman take too many shots downfield. - No offense to K-State's offense, but if the Wildcats want to win this one, they'll probably have to do it on defense and special teams. - Coffman has been spotty, at best, this year, and Snyder said himself that Iowa State's secondary is "lights out." - It wouldn't have been a bad idea to give Coffman more than nine passing attempts last weekend, but Snyder kept the ball on the ground in attempt to keep the team's point total down. Not a bad decision, but the starting signal-caller could have used the practice. - Which streak is more depressing: Iowa State's nine-game conference losing streak or Coffman's streak of 14 straight quarters without a touchdown pass? - I'd be willing to bet one of those streaks comes to an end this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one it will be. - I sure hope early ticket sales for this weekend aren't an indicator of the number of purple-clad fans making the trip to Kansas City, Mo. As of Monday night, the number of K-State tickets sold hadn't reached 10,000. That's downright embarrassing. - I know trips cost money and we're all college students, but let's be real. It's a three-day weekend and most of us would spend just as much on booze. Come on, K-State fans. Do the right thing. See you at Arrowhead on Saturday. E MISSOURITIGERS Big 12 North teams are weaker than expected By Matt Gerstner The Maneater COLUMBIA, Mo. — An observation shook me Saturday as I watched Kansas (to my disappointment) eek one out against Southern Mississippi. There is no Big 12 North team that looks BCS-worthy right now. Hell, they don't look Cotton Bowl-worthy. Nebraska is not as good as people thought it would be. Iowa State is a nonfactor, as is Colorado. Kansas State — wow. And Missouri and Kansas are sputtering and coughing against Western Athletic Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA teams, which should not happen. Missouri is getting the wins. I understand that. We knew it wasn't going to be as easy as it was the last two years. But the Bowling Green game was a sad excuse for effort. It took a couple of three-and-outs to get going against Furman. We made Nevada look much better than they are. So the two teams who have the only real The good thing with the Tigers right now is they're kind of flying under the radar, even with two out of their first four games on national television and another coming up. Unfortunately, the Tigers probably won't enjoy that conspicuity much longer after that upcoming game. shot at a Big 12 North title are just waiting to go to the slaughterhouse against the Texas Longhorns. The Big 12 South is just too stacked. Here's the way I see it. If Missouri wins, big time or not, the Tigers aren't a secret anymore. Now, they have a target and a top 25 ranking on their back. Teams actually focus on the Tigers, and when we play teams like Texas and Oklahoma State, things could get ugly. If Missouri loses, well, you can kiss any confidence goodbye. Big 12 Championship and any respect from Kansas you might have had going into the Border War, which actually could work out for the Tigers. That opens up the door for an upset. That is, if Kansas doesn't follow a similar path. NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Defense earns Huskers first shutout since 2006 By Max Olson Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — Can we call them Black- shirts yet? Nebraska defensive coordinator Carl Pelini isn't so sure now's the time to be passing out those coveted black practice jerseys, but his defense certainly made a case for them Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette. "That'll be a staff decision, but I thought we had a heck of a performance tonight," Pelini said. Thanks in large part to three takeaways and five forced three-and-outs, NU's defense stifled the Ragin' Cajuns' spread offense, holding Lafayette to zero points and showing little hangover from last weekend's heartbreaking loss to Virginia Tech. That fatal final drive against Tech overshadowed an otherwise dominant performance, but junior defensive end Pierre Allen said the drive gave NU's defenders a chip on their shoulders entering Saturday's game. After forcing no turnovers against the Hokies — a stat Bo Pelini called "unacceptable" — the Huskers responded with the team's first plus-3 turnover margin in a game since 2005. "With all the difference-making plays that could have been a week ago, a turnover could've changed our result," Carl Pelini said. "We wanted to be more aggressive to the football, take chances, get after it and don't let an opportunity go by." Though Pelini was happy with the shutdown play of his starters Saturday, the fact that NU still earned its first shutout since 2006 was even more pleasing. NU's defense is now ranked No.3 in the nation for points allowed after giving up only 7 per game during the non-conference schedule. That stinginess will be put to the test on the road against Missouri. "That's going to be a great game — Thursday night, everybody's going to be watching," he said. "If I were to sit here and say I don't want to get them from last year, I'd be lying." THE WAVE OCTOBER 2,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Rya BIG 12 11 IOWA STATE CYCLONES AN Cyclones ready for matchup with Wildcats 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS lowa State's Kennard Banks breaks up a pass intended for Army's Damion Hunter during the second half of the Cyclones' 31-10 victory last Saturday. The Cyclones face the Kansas State Wildcats this Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — Addressing the media in his weekly press conference Monday, Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads was notably more subdued — in glasses and sporting combed hair — than he was last Saturday evening following the Cyclones' (3-1) victory over Army. "In the locker room after the game Saturday, everybody was excited, but it's time to go back to work and we did yesterday," quarterback Austen Arnaud said. "We had a great shortened practice yesterday, doing things ... you just saw it in guys' eyes that we're confident and focused." While the team enjoyed the victory that moved the team to 3-1 on the year, the Cyclone coaching staff and players are getting prepared for Saturday's Big 12 Conference opener against Kansas State (2-2) at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Rhoads echoed those sentiments, calling Sunday's practice the best weekend practice the team has had all year. He remains excited about the prospects of starting the conference season with a divisional foe. The Wildcats bring in a rushing game averaging just under 200 yards per game, and a defense that hasn't allowed more than 23 points this season. The game is called a neutral site, with the Cyclones being allowed the classification of home team, but being 100 miles closer to the stadium from Manhattan than from Ames, the players recognize it as a road game and opportunity to experience an NFL stadium. "They are very excited about it," Rhoads said. "How many kids get an opportunity to play in an NFL stadium? And they are very much looking forward to that and the opportunity that that brings. It's maybe a once-in-a-lifetime experience." The Cyclones' spread offense hasn't been seen by Kansas State in their four games this season and while the unit feels it is putting some things together, there is still a long way to go. Rhoads said after the Army game the system was still at infantile stages and players understand the challenges in front of them. "Some of the formations we run they haven't even seen yet, so it'll be kind of how we think they'll play it as opposed to how they will play it." Amaud said. Saturday's game kicks off at 2 p.m., with plenty of tailgating and travel activities offered to fans at the neutral site. OKLAHOMA SOONERS One-loss teams end up on top in recent years By Luke Atkinson Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — There is a new craze sweeping college football, and as much as it is hated by hardcore fans who live week to week depending how their team performs, it may be here to stay. The days of undefeated powerhouses teams are beginning to wane, making way for a new age of college football where the one-loss teams reign supreme. Losing is becoming normal in the race to the championship, which has been throwing off teams, fans and, more importantly, the polls for nearly five years now. The last team to go undefeated and capture a national title was the 2005 Texas Longhorns team under the direction of Vince Young. Before that? The 2004 USC Trojans, 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes, 2001 Miami Hurricanes and the 2000 Sooners. So what's behind this shake-up of power? Parity. Today, we're seeing a number of great coaches head programs that never had a chance, taking NFL-caliber players and cultivating them into studs who lead their team to top-25 ranks and ESPN top-10 plays each Sunday. Don't believe me? Take a look at the current Top 25 and list the teams making names for themselves. Houston, a team that you probably haven't heard of since former Cougar Andre Ware won the Heisman in 1989 (if you paid attention to college football when you were a toddler), is being considered an offensive giant, especially after watching their yardage stack up after games with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State — which we know are programs of top offensive production. Think about Texas Christian University, a team that has risen up as one of the nation's best defensive programs in recent times. The Horned Frogs are now ranked No. 11, and could give any Top-10 team problems in the regular season. Before that, they were someone you wanted on your nonconference season because you were sure to emerge the victor.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 2,2009 12 BIG 12 TEXAS A&M AGGIES Old rivalry resumes at Cowboys Stadium TEXAS A&M 11 3 ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill, right, pulls in a 58-yard past UAB's Chase Daniel during the second quarter of their game at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, last Saturday. The Aggies won 56-19. By Brad Cox The Battallion COLLEGE STATION, Texas The last time the Texas A&M football team went hog hunting, most of the current Aggie squad was less than four years old. In the old Southwest Conference days, Arkansas and A&M shared one of the more bitter rivalries outside of the A&M-Texas and Oklahoma-Texas games. The Razorbacks controlled the series for many years, earning a 38-24-3 all-time advantage, but the Aggies got the last laugh with a 13-3 win in 1991 at Kyle Field. The next season, Arkansas joined the Southeastern Conference and went 17 seasons without a game against A&M. That drought ends Saturday when the two teams meet at the largest dodged stadium in the world, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. "They were always great contests, whether we played over there or played here," A&M head coach Mike Sherman said about the historic rivalry. "They were usually low-scoring games. A lot of times they were defensive efforts from what I remember." The lack of history with the current A&M roster might be a benefit going into such a high-profile game. Junior quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who leads the top offense in the nation in total yards, said he's just looking at it as another game. "Of course it's going to be exciting to be in the Cowboys Stadium," Johnson said. "Of course Arkansas is going to be really good, an SEC powerhouse, but I'm just looking at it as another game, just another opponent we have to play." Against UAB, Johnson became the first quarterback in school history to rush for three touchdowns and pass for three touchdowns in the same game. A big part of the Aggies' production has been from freshmen, both true and redshirt. Johnson paces A&M with 961 passing yards and nine touchdowns. He is the team's second-leading rusher with 196 yards and four touchdowns. Players like receivers Uzoma Nwachukwu and Brandal Jackson and running back Christine Michael have contributed almost 300 offensive yards and five touchdowns. "The sooner you can put them on the field, the faster they grow up and mature," Sherman said. "So the opportunity exists here, as a young football team, to be able to play those guys." STATE OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS Cowboys use bye week to prepare for Texas A&M By Stefan Nolet Daily O'Collegian STILLWATER, Okla. — The Oklahoma State football team lacked a few of its All-Americans against Grambling State. Luckily for the Cowboys, receiver Dez Bryant, running back Kendall Hunter and cornerback Perrish Cox weren't needed as the Cowboys won 56-6 last week against GSU. The next time the Cowboys play, it won't be in the friendly atmosphere of Boone Pickens Stadium, against an FCS opponent — it will be at hostile Kyle Field, against conference rival Texas A&M. The Cowboys' next opponent and venue could be a different story. The good news for the Cowboys is their matchup with the Aggies is not until next Saturday, so Bryant, Hunter, Cox and anyone else with minor injuries now have an extra week to heal up before the next game. Senior quarterback Zac Robinson said this is the perfect time in the season for the "This is a great time for the bye (week)." Robinson said. "We have some unfortunate injuries, but guys have stepped up and made some plays." team to get a bye week. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy said he is glad the Cowboys have a bye week so players have a break but he also expects the players to continue to work hard during practices. Texas A&M is 3-0 at this point in the season, having also beat Utah State 38-30 and New Mexico State 41-6. The Aggies are averaging 574.3 yards of offense per game. Gundy gave credit to second-year coach Mike Sherman for turning the Texas A&M program around after finishing 4-8 this past season. "There's a real fine line there," Gundy said. "We certainly need the open week to rest our football team." Gundy said even though the off week will be good for his team to heal up, they can't take their preparations for A&M lightly. TEXAS LONGHORNS McCoy, Longhorns rolling during string of upsets By Michael Sherfield Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — In a season that has so far been turned on its head by upsets, the Texas football team did its best to restore order to its part of the college football world Saturday afternoon. No. 2 Texas looked every bit like a National Championship contender from beginning to end of a 64-7 blowout win over UTEP at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, while quarterback Colt McCoy finally rediscovered his Heisman-favorite form. He was all smiles on the sideline as the Texas offense rolled from there, starting with a 91-yard return from D.J. Monroe on the ensuing kickoff as the Longhorns reeled off 57 consecutive points. Texas showed only a blip of its early game struggles this season when McCoy threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown that tied the game at 7-7 early in the first quarter. ["McCoy] had a real breakthrough last week in the second half;" said Texas head coach Mack Brown. "He had a whole different demeanor all week. He had a few drops. ... Didn't bother him today. It looked like the Colt of old." McCoy got his numbers, finishing 28-for-35, despite three drops by wide receivers, including one in the end zone by James Kirkendoll, with 286 yards and three touchdowns. McCoy threw two passes to sophomore Dan Buckner, including a spectacular one-handed grab over a covering linebacker in the end zone, and another to Jordan Shipley before the break. Shipley finished with 10 catches for 122 yards and 73 yards on three punt returns. After suffering through slow starts against Texas Tech and Wyoming that forced big second-half performances, McCoy was on the sidelines midway through the third quarter against UTEP, his job done for the day. "We put up 64 points, so it was a good day," McCoy said. "We really wanted to start strong out of the gate, and we did that for sure." THE WAVE OCTOBER2, 2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- BIG 12 13 BAYLOR BEARS who yards. to be id. "Of good, og at it we Baylor moves on after losing starting quarterback BAK Baylor sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin is examined after sustaining a torn ACL in his right knee during the Bears' game against Northwestern State last Saturday in Waco, Texas. Griffin is out for the year. By Chris Derrett The Lariat WACO, Texas — Baylor football head coach Art Briles and his Bears have little time to recuperate after Robert Griffin was diagnosed Sunday afternoon with a season- ending isolated tear in his anterior cruciate ligament. Both he and senior Mikail Baker will miss the remainder of the season with ACL tears suffered in Saturday's 68-13 win against Northwestern State. "When it happened the pain was a 10, but going back out there it was probably a four or five," Griffin said in the postgame press conference. "Once I got off the field and started jogging I got some stability back and was fine." Briles was initially relieved to see his quarterback re-enter the game and still feels it speaks volumes about Griffin's determination. But upon hearing the news of Griffin's injury Sunday afternoon, Briles realized this is the first time in his coaching career to lose a starting quarterback to injury. Szymanski started 10 games as a redshirt sophomore in 2007, averaging 258.5 passing yards per game. He and the team will now rely on Blake Szymanski to call the signals. In Guy Morriss' pass-heavy offense he completed 264 of 461 passes for 2,844 yards that year and 22 touchdowns. Currently, Szymanski's completion percentage of 56.4 places him third on Baylor's all time list in that category. 2009 will now be a medical redshirt year for Griffin. He saw limited action in 2008, completing 4 of 7 passes for 28 yards. Szymanski is listed as day-to-day after suffering a shoulder contusion on his throwing arm in last Saturday's game but is expected to start Saturday against Kent State. "I like him because he's weathered," Briles said in his weekly teleconference Monday morning. While Szymanski isn't as athletic as Griffin, Briles believes the dropoff between the two quarterbacks is minimal. "His path hasn't been easy, and he's stayed very loyal and stayed very consistent with his emotions for this football program and this university."

Daldorph DESTINATION: Graduation May 20, 2012 MENU CLAS unveils advising tool Graduation positioning system will help students choose a major and graduate on time. BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have a new tool to help them better choose a route to graduation. The graduation positioning system, or GPS, is a service launched by the college last week to guide students through planning for a major. Kim McNeley, assistant dean of student academic services, said the system was a way to take information from services such as the new online advising tool and present it to students. The GPS tailors the information given to the student according to the student's year, sending the information directly to the students through academic notices visible in the Kyou portal. One of the first steps of the GPS involves a worksheet to help determine which disciplines a student should explore. McNeley said one of the goals presented for the GPS was for students to explore 15 different majors in their freshman and sophomore years. She said that general education requirements currently cover about 10 majors, but that it was important for students to explore other areas. t Follow Kansan writer Jesse Rangel at twitter.com/ igglephile McNeiley also said the college wanted to tell students how important it was to get the English and math requirements out of the way early. She said students who took the math requirement early in their college careers tended to have higher grade point averages.

Na cl KU DINING SERVICES Contributing To Student Success X THE UNIVERSITY HAIRY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 5. 2009 NEWS 3A CAMPUS Merit of alcohol policy reviewed Students work to re-vamp University rules BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com Student Senate is looking to students for ways to improve current alcohol policies. The alcohol sub-committee of the student rights committee began its Thursday-night meeting with the mission of creating a survey about the alcohol policies' effectiveness. Chairwoman Emily Williams, Overland Park graduate student, said the committee's goal for the survey was to get feedback and input from the people the policies affected most - students. "We are the only 100 percent student group looking at this issue," she said, "so it's important to know what the students want." Williams said she wanted the survey to have 10 questions derived from five categories: consequence and enforcement of current policy, prevention, student housing, off-campus accountability and the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Under the current amnesty policy, a student may call for medical assistance for a friend with an alcohol-related emergency without having to worry about University consequences. The person needing assistance, however, is susceptible to punishment if in violation of any policies. During the meeting,15 students and senators discussed current policies that may have adverse effects on safety. Student Senator Sameer Sharma, Overland Park senior, said this policy was weak. He questioned its effectiveness because it still allowed for a sanction against the person needing medical assistance. He said he thought this could discourage friends from calling. "It doesn't seem like it's a very useful policy. It doesn't make much sense," he said. Follow Kansan writer Megan Heacock at twitter.com/mheacock. The committee also discussed T AlcoholEdu, the online test new students under the age of 22 must complete this fall. Kris Velasco, Wamego freshman who took the test, said preventative education was less effective than consequences. "The alcohol education thing we had to do — everyone knows that already. Hearing it over and over again isn't going to change their opinion," he said. "And if you're more focused on consequences, I think that's where an actual effect will take place." Williams said different student groups would be surveyed to get a variety of demographics. The committee also considered administering the survey to all students. This, and whether the survey would be mandatory or optional, was still undecided at the end of the meeting. Williams designated a separate meeting time on Oct. 22 to discuss alcohol policies in student housing because he said it was a major component of the committee's tasks.

They were two of many cultural ambassadors at the Douglas County Fairgrounds at 19th and Harper streets for the eighth-annual Nordic Heritage Festival on Saturday. With more than a dozen booths, the festival celebrated the cultures of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark. Norse heritage celebrated KATHLEEN M. SMITH WASHINGTON, D.C. 1925-2014 According to Marilyn Meyers, Lawrence resident and coordinator of the festival, it started when she and some friends were getting together to share recipes. EVENT Students reminded of cultural past at this year's annual Nordic Festival "A couple of us got together and we were going to do some baking," Meyers said. "We talked to the Kansas City Scandinavian Dancers. They suggested having a dance party, and out of that developed this festival." Margot Howard, Lawrence junior, came to the festival to share her Nordic heritage with her son. "There's not a lot of chances to experience Nordic Heritage in the United States." Howard said. Some students came for reasons other than heritage. Thomas Overly, Louisburg graduate student, spent a year in Denmark and said he came to appreciate the ways of life there. sunflower BROADBAND World Class Broadband Hunting There were free samples. of Scandinavian confections, like lefse, a thin crepe-like product, and krum-kake, a dessert that resembles an ice cream cone minus the ice cream. Aside from native music and dance, such cultural hallmarks as thread spinning and the construction of miniature decorative sleighs were featured at these booths. The festival wrapped up with an accordion-fueled potluck dinner before switching to the fiddle for fiddle jam closing dance. sunflowerbroadband.com/ondemand Edited by Betsy Cutcliff "They all came over in the late 1800s," Knutsen said. "The farms got broken down so small that they sent their oldest sons over here to America to make his own way." Vern Knutsen of the Sons of Norway, a Norwegian heritage group founded in Minnesota in the 1800s, explained the prevalence of Nordic cultures in the Midwest. "They think of others." Overly said. "They're very communally oriented. It's just a really laid back culture, at least in Denmark." Steven Holdeman and Caleb May, the festival's costumed Viking experts, came to this festival three years ago to see the Viking re-enactors. When the re-enactors didn't Renaissance Festival weren't going to sell themselves. Afterward they sat clad in furs in their booths, brandishing blades and sharing violent epic poems. They left the festival early, though — the foam swords they make at the show up, Holdmen and May, sporting beards and locks from their work at the Renaissance Festival, were mistaken for them. They gave a presentation that year, and are now the Nordic Heritage Festival's resident Viking combat experts. Follow reporter Zach White at twitter. com/zachandthenews. BREAKFAST Be ImmunoSmart!

Police also said they thought a criminal threat that occurred near Jayawker Towers the same night was related to the Burge Union incident. A police report regarding the Burge Union incident listed disorderly conduct as the only charge. The report listed multiple University athletes, students and Athletics Department employees as "others" in the report, meaning they were interviewed but not listed as witnesses, suspects or reporting parties. Police also said Guy Lip- scomb, a 19-year-old Lawrence man, was arrested the same night after he threatened to shoot a student. Lipscomb was arrested approximately an hour after the Burge Union incident near the Jayhawk Towers. The Athletics Department Web site said the main victim listed in the report was a former track and field athlete, with a current athlete of the same sport listed as a witness to the incident. Douglas County Booking records show Lipscomb was charged with two counts of making a criminal threat and was ordered to have no contact with the two victims. Lipscomb was released on $3,000 bond Sept. 23 and will have a preliminary hearing later this month. Because the case is now open in court, Keary said he could not explain exactly how police thought the two incidents on Sept. 22 were related. A number of Facebook photos showed Lipscomb alongside athletes Tyshawn Taylor, Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris and Elijah Johnson, among others. Brandon Sayers "During the investigation we have determined that there is a connection between the two incidents; they are related," said Chris Keary, KU Public Safety Of fice assistant chief, Friday. INTERNATIONAL Current prime minister ousted in Greek election ATHENS, Greece — Greece's Socialists trounced the governing conservatives in a landslide election Sunday, with voters angered by scandals and a faltering economy ousting Prime Minister Costas Karamanis half-way through his second term. Humbled by his New Democracy party's worst electoral performance ever, Karamanlis, 53, resigned as its leader and said a new chief is needed for the party founded by his late uncle Constantine Karamanlis 35 years ago. George Papandreou, 57, now follows in the footsteps of his father, Andreas Papandreou — who founded his Panhellenic Socialist Movement party, or PASOK — and grandfather and namesake George Papandreou, both of whom served several terms as prime ministers. "We bear a great responsibility to change the course of the country. ... We know that we can make it," Papandreou, a former foreign minister, told jubilant supporters lighting flares and waving PASOK flags depicting the party's symbol of a green rising sun outside his party headquarters in central Athens. "We must all believe again we can succeed ... we cannot waste a single day." "I know the potential of the country very well, a potential being drowned by corruption, favoritism, lawlessness and waste,"Papandreou said. Results from 87.65 percent of votes counted showed PASOK winning with 43.93 percent, compared to 34.03 percent for New Democracy. Turnout was at 70.44 percent. Voting is compulsory in Greece, although penalties for failing to vote are no longer enforced. Associated Press GPS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) that math as long as possible. But we also know that's not good for them." McNeley said the GPS would cover a list of topics from exploring majors to how a summer job could support a student's major. She said the college would be tracking which students opened academic notices, so it could make sure students knew what was expected of them. "You can study at KU at the undergraduate level for years and years and years; we have lots and lots to offer." McNeley said. "On the other hand, it's our job to make sure that you're being purposeful." "It itels you track your goals," McAdams says. "It shows you what your major is, what you want to do." Zach McAdams, Eudora freshman, said he checked his GPS academic notice Thursday. He said he scanned through it but needed to spend some more time looking over itt McAdams has not declared a major, but he said he was not yet sure how the GPS would help him choose a major. Bailey DeReus, graduation adviser for the college, said it would be a good way to get more students informed about what they needed to do before graduation. As another benefit, students who check their academic notices will be eligible to enter a drawing for a Garmin global positioning system. DeReus said the college developed the drawing for the global positioning system because it wanted to tell students about the new tool. HOW TO ENTER THE GARMIN GPS DRAWING Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who check available GPS academic notices can enter a drawing in 109 Strong Hall before Oct. 16. Students who enter get a free T-shirt while supplies last and have a chance to win a Garmin global positioning system. HOW TO CHECK ACADEMIC NOTICES 1. Log on to the Kyou portal 2. Click on the 'advising' tab at the top of the page. 3. Under the 'info' tab of the advising page, click on the 'academic notices' tab. 4. Click on the subject line of the new academic notice to read it. "It was kind of a unique thing," DeReus said. "People are using GPS more and more, so we thought it was kind of a fun collaboration between the new tool that we have and alerting students what is available in their portal." — Edited by Abbey Strusz FESTIVAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) YES Andrew Hoxev/KANSAN A Juan Mao, graduate student, works to solve Chinese riddles hanging at the Moon Cake Festival. The festival is an annual celebration of the autumn full moon. Andrew Hoxey/KANSAN The Nunakerem Center played host to the Moon Cake Festival to celebrate the full moon. The Chinese festival is a time for family and friends, much like Thanksgiving. "We give them a lot of information," Johnson said, "but being able to talk to a peer in your native language is a whole different kind of help." Johnson said Chinese students were extremely diverse and varied wildly depending on what region the students came from. The students themselves also vary in levels of wealth and preparedness for the American education system, she said. But students from every region of China share the tradition of celebrating holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ming Zhang, a human anatomy professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center and member of the Kansas City Chinese Music Ensemble, said the Mid-Autumn Festival was an important chance for families to get together, similar to Thanksgiving in the United States. "Because the moon is round, that resembles a well round ending, so this festival is important that family get together," he said. "It means we all get together, one family, have dinner together, enjoy the moon, and enjoy the harvest." — Edited by Abbey Strusz K KCBEERFEST @ LEGENDS · 1PM - 5PM · OCTOBER 17, 2009 A.D.

Tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees have returned home from Syria and other neighboring countries over the past year, but many more are unable or unwilling to return to a country still shaken by violence. United Nations' refugee agency, UNHCR, and was accompanied by her partner, Brad Pitt, the agency said. "Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services," a UNHCR statement quoted Jole as saying, "They will, therefore, be in need of continued support from the international community" She was referring to Iraqi parliamentary elections scheduled for Jan.16. It was the Academy Award-winning actress' second visit to Syria in two years. On Friday, she visited Damascus' poorest suburbs where she was welcomed by two Iraqi families. She also discussed the Iraqi refugee crisis with Syrian President Bashar Assad and his wife, Asma, UNHCR said. UNHCR estimates that more than 4.2 million Iraqis have left their homes since the beginning of the conflict in 2003. WEEKEND BLUNDERS? LET ME HELP.

EDITORIAL BOARD Lessons learned from athletes' altercations KANSAN FILE PHOTO What started as a series of scuffles now seems to have been blown Although the amount of confusion following the events has, for the most part, dissipated, much has been said by many individuals in response to the disputes. One of the most anticipated responses came from basketball coach Bill Self. In a Sept. 25 interview, he said the situation was not positive for the basketball program or the University in any way. "We have shed a negative light on a great start to a school year," sen said. By no means did they handle this situation in the way I think it should have been handled." Though he would not divulge how discipline was handed out, Self did say the situation being handled very seriously. Holding a press conference and discussing the situation was commendable. Football coach Mark Mangino, who did not hold a press conference or confirm his players were being disciplined for their intolerable actions. was in violation of the team rules and the law, and was punished accordingly. Self should also be praised for the way he handled Brady Morningstar's actions this past weekend when he was arrested for suspension of a DWI. Morningstar When considering official University discipline, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities expressly states sanctions will be taken against anyone who commits an offense against other persons "on University premises or at University sponsored or supervised events." Section E of KANSAN'S OPINION Article 22 details all of these sanctions, which range from a written warning to "removal of organization registration" status for at least two years. No student is above the law and the KU Police Department acted accordingly, arriving on the scene just five minutes after the altercation occurred and escorting the players away from the situation. This quick response likely stopped the event from escalating. This incident was not only detrimental for the athletes themselves, but was also damaging to the image of the University in terms of the media and the general public. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little echoed this sentiment in a statement released shortly after the incident. "(The athletes) need to realize their profiles make them representatives of the University off the court and field, as well as on it, and that KU has high expectations for its students," Gray-Little said. "I appreciate the quick response by the athletic director and university staff and the strong statement from the teams' leaders." It is time for this incident to be moved away from the spotlight, but it should not be forgotten. Mistakes have been made and rumors have been spread, but the University and its staff and students need to learn from the incident, move on, and make sure that nothing of the sort happens again.

KEEP DOWN TO EARTH KEEP DOWN TO EARTH TO MAKE THE MOST OF HIGHER EDUCATION NICHOLAS SAMBALUK CAMPUS Dry-campus policy reconsidered voted by the debate over the University's alcohol policy. It was with great anticipation that I found myself at the first meeting of the Student Senate Alcohol Subcommittee two weeks ago. Over the past several weeks, I've been fascinated by the debate over Despite a pitiful attendance of six—including myself—this group cotld help foster a necessary and much needed University-wide discussion. The subcommittee was set up by the Student Senate Rights Committee in response to an ongoing push by University officials to do something about alcohol abuse following two alcohol-related student deaths last year. I've joined the committee primarily to push back against any recommendation that would take Fourth Amendment protections away from students living in University housing. But the more I listened at the meeting, the more Though the subcommittee has no binding authority, its recommendations could end up as proposed legislation for the full Student Senate to vote on. HAWK LIFE JONATHAN SHORMAN I realized there are many options the committee can explore without taking away these rights. In fact, these options could potentially expand student privileges. The members of the committee took turns presenting "If I were ruler of the world" ideas on how to combat dangerous and irresponsible drinking in the student body. The idea of allowing some kind of alcohol sales on campus was even discussed. This proposal could be an important step in creating an environment that discourages alcohol abuse, if it is investigated thoroughly and implemented properly. JONATHAN SHORMAN An attempt to bring beer back to the Kansas Union, specifically to Jaybowl, was rejected last year by then-provost Richard Lariviere. The University is now looking for a new provost. If a provost is hired who supports bringing back beer to the Jaybowl and potentially other measures as well, it would send a clear signal that the University's approach to combating alcohol abuse has changed. Those involved in the search process should push any potential candidates for answers on this issue. Though the University's dry-campus policy does not support underage drinking, a dry campus' attempts at alcohol education sends mixed signals to students — you shouldn't drink, but here's the number for Safe Ride. Allowing of-age students to drink on campus in some situations would model responsible drinking for their underage peers and would give the University greater moral authority in their education efforts. While the problem of irresponsible drinking is nothing new, the political will to do something about it is very acute right now. The Student Senate and the University should not squander it. Shorman is a McPherson sophomore in journalism. STUDENT LIFE Sleep well, avoid stress I can't even begin to count how many times it's happened to me. It's a busy week but I manage to complete my assignments and study for my tests. Confidently, I fall into bed ready for some much needed rest. But after an hour or two hours — sometimes more — I'm still up, paranoid about what's left to do or nervous wondering if I've prepared enough. Recent research suggests I'm definitely not alone. The study, from The Journal of Adolescent Health online, analyzed more than 1,125 students to find these results. A major concern about lack of sleep is the effects it can have on a person's immune system. With the H1N1 virus still spreading, students need to do whatever possible to stay healthy. A study at Medical News Today reports that 68 percent of college students reported stress related sleep deprivation. At least 20 percent admitted to feeling this anxiety at least once per week. Numbers also say 30 percent of college students get fewer than eight hours of sleep per night. We've always been told eight hours is the bare minimum requirement for a good night's rest, but I can't honestly say I know many of my peers who adhere to this rule. People who sleep poorly are much more likely to take medicine to stay awake or fall asleep and twice as likely to drink alcohol in order to pass out than those who sleep well. These habits can lead to lifelong addictions and aren't the solutions to the problem of not catching enough sleep. We all know sleep is important, but what are we supposed to do when we're lying in bed counting sheep and sleep never seems to come? Students stress about lots of things besides school, including money and our TOPICS OF RELEVANCE RICHELLE BUSER LE BUSER } personal lives, and it's not always easy to handle. The most beneficial advice I found from Counseling and Psychological Services is to take charge of where you're going. You can do this by taking responsibility for pointing your life where you want to go and taking action to avoid feeling powerless. If you're feeling overwhelmed, take time to re-evaluate. If it's really getting out of control, talk to someone. The University has plenty of people who can help. Just make sure you don't sacrifice your health, mentally or physically, by not making sleep a priority. We're all adults now, and life is always going to be stressful. But there are ways to mellow out and keep everything on track. If you can relax, you'll be better rested after a good night's sleep and more productive overall in your work. Even if you think you can handle an all-nighter, consider reports from ABC News that suggest poor sleep leads to a much higher rate of depression. To stay happy, you need to hit the hay. The University's Counseling and Psychological Services has a few tips for handling college stress. Getting organized and breaking down overwhelming tasks is a good place to start. Setting realistic expectations, focusing on goals and accepting mistakes that may have been made, then moving on, are also recommended.

First, the author talks about Dr. Borlaug who started the "green revolution," but opposed organic food. Obviously he did that because he worked for DuPont, the world's second largest chemical company. Those chemicals are used in industrial agriculture and genetically modified foods. Thus, Borlaug was against his competition. As for organic foods not being healthier than their counterparts just look at Central Alternative High School in Wisconsin. Notorious for its delinquent students, the school witnessed a marked improvement in truancy, grades and behavior once the cafeteria switched to organic food. The article also mentioned the USDA acknowledging organics were not different than industrial food, but readers should keep in mind that the USDA has been influenced by biotech companies — DuPont and Monsanto — by accepting company-sponsored studies. Monsanto is responsible for RoundUp and Agent Orange. Should a company that has created environmental hazards be making food? Folmsbee also wrote about how organic foods were not truly organic. He is right — "organic" means only 95 percent organic. He implies that industrialized farming could feed a starving world. Yet, Stop Hunger Now affirms that although there is more food available, it isn't as nutritious as it once was. Genetically modified food cannot be given away because biotech companies patent the genes used in their products. Humanity was on an organic diet till the early twentieth century. Since then we've lost onethird of America's topsoil, buried toxic waste, depleted water systems and exacerbated cancer and obesity. — Caleb Hall is a sophomore from Shawnee.

ENVIRONMENT EPA calls for tougher standards WASHINGTON — Proposed regulations would require power plants, factories and refineries to reduce greenhouse gases by installing the best available technology and improving energy efficiency whenever a facility is significantly changed or built. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Environmental Protection Agency proposal announced Wednesday applies to any industrial plant that emits at least 25,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year. These large sources are responsible for 70 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions — mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels — that are released in the U.S., the EPA said. the businesses that make up the vast majority of our economy," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said. "We know the corner coffee shop is no place to look for meaningful carbon reductions." Earlier this year, the Obama administration announced it would start developing the first-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and trucks. Those regulations, which would take effect in 2010, compel the EPA to control greenhouse gases from large smokestacks as well, the agency said. "By using the power and authority of the Clean Air Act, we can begin reducing emissions from the nation's largest greenhouse gas-emitting facilities without placing an undue burden on Industry groups immediately questioned the agency's argument. They charged that the EPA was skirting the law, since the Clean Air Act typically covers any facility releasing more than 250 tons a year of a recognized pollutant. That threshold would require more facilities to fall under the new-regulations. "This proposal incorrectly assumes that one industry's greenhouse gas emissions are worse than another's," said Charles T. Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association. Jeff Holmstead, a former top EPA air pollution official who is now a lobbyist for the energy industry, said the agency was trying to "fit a square peg into a round hole." "Normally, it takes an act of Congress to change the words of a statute enacted by Congress, and many of us are very curious to see EPA's legal justification for today's proposal," Holmstead said. Jackson, speaking at a news conference at a climate change summit being hosted by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said the rule was legally defensible. "The EPA would not propose a rule that we didn't believe ... made good legal sense," she said. Exercise Your Options The EPA's announcement came hours after Senate Democrats unveiled legislation that would set limits on the amount of greenhouse gases from large industrial sources. The Senate bill, unlike the House-passed version, preserves the EPA's authority to regulate under the Clean Air Act.

At Friday evening's game against Missouri, played in the same stadium, the Jayhawks fell to the Tigers, 5-4. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Rising heat on ice boils into brawl Penalty-ridden Jayhawks lose to Tigers in skates BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Passions ran wild on the ice as jayhawk hockey players were sent to the penalty box — the so-called "sin bin" — one after another in Friday's game against Missouri. The tensions escalated into a brawl behind the net midway through. For 14 minutes of the first-period at the Pepsi Ice Midwest Center in Overland Park, the Jayhawks played shorthanded while a player, or occasionally two, waited in the penalty box. The Jayhawks never recovered from the difficult beginning; tired out by constantly being on the penalty kill, they fell to rival Missouri 5-4. "Penalty killing is the most tiring part of the game because you are always moving and never have a chance to get on the attack and score," forward Price Duncan said. During the first-period onslaught, the layhwaks surrendered 18 shots, but goaltender Lukas Renard gave up only one goal in the period. "Every game this year we have had penalties, so I knew that if I could just keep us in there, we would have a shot." Renard said. The Jayhawks evened the score early in the second period as defender Grant Worden stepped out of the penalty box and quickly repented by catching a long pass and beating Tiger goaltender Aaron Dewitt low glove side. Later in the period, as the Jayhawks led 2-1, the rivalry exploded into a brawl behind the net. Forward Ryan Dunn was one of guy," Dunn said. "Then everyone started pushing and things got out of hand." the key players involved in the skirmish. "We have to stay out of the box." "One of their bigger guys came over and checked one of our guys and in hockey you have to defend your teammates, and we went over to back him up and I checked the The Tigers took a two-goal lead at 10:15 in the third period after back-to-back goals. Dan Kootman TIMVEACH Assistant coach The Jayhawks never gave up and a few minutes later Dunn got a rebound out in the slot and did a quick turnaround before putting the puck into the back of the net. "It was a nice shot down low from Kevin Kiske," Dunn said. "I just turned around quickly to catch the goalie by surprise and put it in." The Jayhawks were able to compete and even outplay the Tigers at 5 on 5 but then ran out of steam, tired out from a rough beginning and often playing down a man. "We have to stay out of the box," assistant coach Tim Veach said. "Even strength, we were just as good if not better. But, as a coach, you can't be more proud of your team when they fight back like that. We could have folded when we went down by two in the third, but we never quit." The Jayhawks hope to rebound on a road trip through Illinois from Oct. 15 to Oct. 18. SOFTBALL Edited by Brenna M. T. Daldorph Jayhawks snag two of three weekend games Team shakes nerves and inconsistencies in fall play KANSAS BY BRIANNÉ PFANFENSTIEL bpfannensteil@kapsap.com bpfannenstiel@kansan.com Third baseman Mariah Montgomery makes a throw for a force out Saturday in Kansas' game against the University of Central Missouri. Kansas finished the Jayhawk Fall Invitational with victories against Central Missouri and Washburn lost to Emmawgr. "We anticipated to have a roller-coaster ride today, which is exactly what we got," coach Megan Smith said. "We knew it'd be up and down and it was." This weekend's Jayhawk Fall Invitational softball tournament was a rollercoaster ride for the Jayhawks, but it was one that ended with a winning record of 2-1 to start the fall season. t After Saturday's games, Smith said she challenged the team to stay focused on each pitch and to keep every play intense during Sunday's coming game against Washburn University.

Edited by Amanda Thompson COMMENTARY Weekend damages Big12 BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com Long-time South Florida backup quarterback Grant Gregory finally got the call to the field this weekend, two weeks after the Bulls' Matt Grothe suffered a career-ending knee injury. That the rebuilding Wildcats stood alone atop the conference this weekend is representative of the kind of weekend that was seen by the Big 12. But the sixth-year senior ended his campaign of riding the pine in Arrowhead Stadium as a Wildcat, leading the team he transferred to this year to victory against Iowa State in the first game of Big 12 play. The weekend was one plenty of member teams will happily put behind them, save for Kansas State. The Wildcats may want to remember this one a long time — especially if they don't pick up a victory again this year. Last season, the Wildcats were ineffective and unspectacular. They were worth little aside from a few bags of cash to former coach Ron Prince. The Big 12 came out strong in 2008 before mostly fizzling during bowl season. This year, it must be taking the opposite approach. Kansas was among the five Big 12 teams on bye this week, although you could have seen a couple of former Jayhawks Sunday. Aqib Talbit notched three interceptions for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Derek Fine has started at tight end for Buffalo in recent weeks. But I digress. The story around the Big 12 was Oklahoma's one-point loss in Miami Saturday night. Hell of a game. One beffitting of an extra quarter and reminiscent of the program's past historic tilts. That's not to say Texas won't challenge for the BCS title, but senior quarterback Colt McCoy is going to have to clean up his game. Nine touchdowns versus five picks won't get it done in December. I'm just hoping McCoy brings back the hilarious mustache he sported in the preseason to answer Landry Jones' epic strip. We're two more Sam "Why Did I Stay In College"? Bradford missed start and two weeks of facial-hair negligence away from the Red River Rivalry becoming the Red Tickler Rivalry. The Oklahoma loss capped a weekend damaging to the Big 12's credibility. Don't expect any further Big 12 vs. SEC musings this year. Meanwhile, you have to think the bye week was a welcomed occurrence for the jayhawks. For one it was a chance to take a breath before conference play and an opportunity to not get booked for a DWL. But furthermore, the Saturday of inactivity actually bumped the Jayhawks two up spots in the Associated Press poll, from 18 to 16. They are now 15th in the USA Today poll. I can still remember when Kansas was actually an underdog during its own bye weeks. That love extended to ESPN's bowl projections as analyst Mark Schlabach now has Kansas pegged in the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State. You can bet I have my preseason prediction column cut out and set aside for review in December. A Kansas upset in Arlington and a trip to Gelndal still sounds crazy enough to happen. 1 Edited by Amanda Thompson tt Follow Kansan softball writer Stephen Mon- teymor at twitter. com/smontem mayor 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2009 QUOTE OF THE DAY "Well, with the right hitters, strikeouts are still thrilling.

NFL Redskins rally to take victory against Tampa Victory against Tampa LANDOVER, Md. — At halftime, the Washington Redskins were down 10 points to a winless team. They were booed off the field. In the third quarter, they found some of the energy, life and momentum missing all season. Jason Campbell made up for a pair of first-half interceptions with two second-half touchdowns, and the Redskins scored on three straight possessions for the first time this season Sunday in a 16-13 win over Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Washington staved off the sky-is-falling talk in the nation's capital for at least one more week. Losing 10-0 after a first half in which fan discontent rose to a new level, the Redskins (2-2) started their rally when DeAngelo Hall intercepted a pass from second-year quarterback Josh Johnson, making his first NFL start. Washington converted the turnover into a field goal, but Campbell hit Chris Cooley for a 17-yard touchdown. Calling out overzealous zebras Associated Press MORNING BREW Two days ago, I watched the Georgia Bulldogs play the LSU Tigers. No offense to the Big 12, but the defense in the SEC is what I love about football. If that is what I love about football, then what really grinds my gears about that game is the referees. Following his go-ahead touchdown catch in the fourth quarter, Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green celebrated what was probably his most important touchdown ever by raising his arms and being mobbed by his teammates. Harmless, yes? No, the refs deemed it unnecessary to enjoy life and pushed the ensuing kickoff back 15 yards. LSU then returned the kickoff to Georgia's 33-yard line. A game-winning LSU touchdown run by RB Charles Scott ensued, along with another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for excessive celebration. What did Scott do? Raised his BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com hands and hugged his teammates. This isn't the only time referees have affected the outcome of the game with calls of this nature. Last season, Washington quarterback Jake Locker rushed for a touchdown as time expired to bring the Huskies within one point against BYU. Locker threw the ball up in the air in jubilation, as he thought he had led his team to an inevitable overtime – until the referees said his celebration was excessive, too. The extra point was pushed back 15 yards, essentially forcing the Huskies to kick a 35-yard, one-point field goal. The kick was blocked, BYU remained defeated the rest of the season and Washington continued to struggle. I understand the rules of the game. I respect acting like you've been there before. But these guys are college students who live for moments like these. They dream of coming through in clutch situations and earning a victory for their squads. These games are for them, not for the middle-aged referees who can go home and not worry about the penalty they committed to cost their team, coaches and fans a well-deserved victory. If the zebras were the focus of the game, I'd put on my safari hat and go to Africa or a zoo. And if you're going to penalize these guys, why not throw a flag on guys like former NFL wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, who would bask in his own awesomeness with a rehearsed little act for a first down? THE MORNING BREW These types of referees ruin games, like Eric ruins every episode of Entourage. Here's to hoping these calls don't ruin someone else's season. Edited by Brenna M. T.

San Francisco Giants' Randy Johnson pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the ninth inning of a baseball game in San Francisco Thursday. The Giants won 7-3. GI A MLB Johnson makes likely final pitches In Padres game, Giants pitcher makes what may be last appearance of 22-year career BY BERNIE WILSON Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Randy Johnson made what could be the last appearance of his brilliant, 22-year big league career, pitching one adventuresome inning of relief in the San Francisco Giants' 4-3, 10-inning win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Although the Big Unit gave up an unearned run in the seventh that tied the game at 3, Pablo Sandoval provided the go-ahead run when he homered on the first pitch of the 10th inning. It was Sandoval's 25th. The 46-year-old Johnson said Thursday that he'll take his time in the offseason deciding his future. The 303-game winner also hoped to get one more outing this season, and manager Bruce Bochy wanted to oblige. With the Giants leading 3-2, Johnson allowed an unearned run when, with the bases loaded, Nick Hundley scored after Sandoval caught David Eckstein's foul ball while tumbling head-over-heels into the Giants' third-base dug-out. Johnson struck out Hundley leading off the inning, but the ball got away from catcher Eli Whiteside and Hundley reached. Luis Durango followed with a bunt single and pinch-hitter Luis Rodriguez sacrificed.

Johnson hit Everth Catrena on the foot to load the bases, bringing up Eckstein. The 246-pound Sandoval was reaching for Eckstein's foul ball when he hit the padded railing in front of the dugout and, unable to slow his momentum, tumbled over it, holding onto the ball. It took him about a minute to get back on his feet and out of the dugout. Because Sandoval left his feet to make the out and left the field of play, all the runners advanced a base. DQ Johnson, who struck out two to increase his career total to 4,875, has said he might be done if he can't return as a starter. He missed more than two months with a shoulder injury before coming back last month in a reliever role. On June 4 at Washington, he became the 24th pitcher in major league history to reach 300 wins. management style. winner, Johnson is 303-166 in a career that's included stops in Montreal, Seattle, Houston, Arizona, the New York Yankees and San Francisco. Giants left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, who no hit San Diego on July 10, allowed two runs on three hits in 5 1-3 innings, walked four and struck out three. Jeremy Affeldt (2-2) pitched two innings for the win. Brian Wilson pitched the 10th for his 38th save in 45 chances. Ryan Webb (2-1) took the loss after allowing Sandoval's homer. San Diego left fielder Chase Headley had a terrific play in the ninth inning, making a sliding catch of Randy Winn's sinking line drive, then make a one-hop throw to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to double off Whiteside, aboard on a leadoff single. A five-time Cy Young Award The Giants, eliminated from the wild-card race on Wednesday night, finished 88-74, an improvement over last year's 72-90 finish. Eckstein hit a two-run homer to left with one out in the sixth off Sanchez, his second. Everth Cabrera was aboard on a single. The Padres, who were 63-99 last year, finished 75-87, going 37-25 since July 28. Still, that wasn't enough to save general manager Kevin Towers' job. Towers was fired on Friday because CEO Jeff Moorad apparently didn't like his San Diego rookie Cesar Ramos allowed three runs and nine hits in 4-1-3 innings, struck out three and walked one. NOTES: San Diego won the season series 10-8. ... Padres reliever Luke Gregerson had four strikeouts in the seventh inning.

It was a sloppy game despite the extra week that both teams had to prepare. However, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said after the game that he thought it was his team's best effort of the season.

But Kansas State didn't take the extra point for granted. Cornerback Emmanuel Lamur blocked the kick and stunned the Iowa State faithful who were still celebrating the touchdown. Kansas State senior Grant Gregory, a sixth-year transfer from South Florida, got the surprise start at quarterback and provided the Wildcats with a spark on offense. He finished the day 16 for 23 with 206 yards and two touchdowns. The game at Arrowhead was the first game of a two-year scheduling deal between the teams, Kansas State will be the "home" team next season when both programs look to draw better attendance numbers — this season's matchup only drew 40,000 people to Arrowhead, which seats almost 80,000.

After Potts was injured in the first half, backup quarterback Steven Sheffield threw for 223 yards and three touch- downs after halftime to defeat the winless Lobos. Texas Tech declined to comment on the injury. The plotlines off the field for both teams were likely a bigger story than the plays on it. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach outlawed Twitter usage among his players, and New Mexico dealt with fighting between a coach and a player. BAYLOR BAYLOR 31, KENT STATE 15 Baylor cruised to a victory against Kent State despite being forced to play its third-string quarterback.

New York Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham, left, catches a pass under pressure from Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers for a 43-yard gain during the first quarter of their NFL football game Sunday in Kansas City. The Giant defeated the Chiefs 27-16. 21 All the New York Giants quarterback did was drop back to pass, something he's done how many thousands of times? ASSOCIATED PRESS Suddenly, he felt pain in his right heel. He stayed in for one more play, a short pass to Hakeem Nicks which the rookie turned into a beauty of a 54-yard touchdown play in a 27-16 victory over Kansas City. But now Manning and the Giants will have to wait and see if a worrisome bruised right heel will let him play next Sunday against Oakland. Manning was replaced by David Carr, but said he expects to be ready for the next name. "It was a noncontact. It just happened into the drop," said Manning, who threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns as the Giants (4-0) won their third road game in a row. "It was the play before the touchdown, where I had Steve Smith deep and threw it a little short." "I always assume I'm going to play, that I'm going to be out there," he said. "I've always been a pretty quick healer. I'll be doing everything I can possibly do this week to get healthy and prepared to play Oakland. We'll find out more tomorrow. I can walk around and move around, but there is some discomfort." Manning threw two scoring passes to Smith, who totaled 134 yards on 11 catches, as the Chiefs (0-4) lost for the 27th time in 29 games. "We've got to stick together as a team, which I think our guys are doing very well," said Chiefs coach Todd Haley. "We've got to pull together and start becoming a team much like that team across the field from us today." In the final minutes, Matt Cassel threw two short scoring passes that made the final score unreflective of how badly the Giants outplayed their hapless hosts. From the first quarter, when Jamaal Charles fumbled the opening kickoff and Manning converted it into a quick TD, this battle between occupants of opposite ends of the NFL standings never seemed in doubt. After going 0 for 11 in third-down conversions the week before against Philadelphia, the Chiefs were 2 for 15. "Change is not fun," said Haley. "We've got to be better in all The Chiefs have lost their first four games for the first time since 1980. areas." MLB jins BLOOMING 0 ASSOCIATED PRESS Royals left fielder Bloomquist makes an attempt for the ball, along with fans, 'Twins' Jason Kubel hits his second three-run home run of the game in the third inning Sunday. Twins headed to title playoff BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI Associated Press After defeating the Royals, Minnesota will face the White Sox for AL Central championship MINNEAPOLIS — Hang on to those Homer Hankies: The Metrodome isn't ready to close for baseball just yet. Jason Kubel got those familiar white towels waving with a pair of three-run homers and Minnesota beat Kansas City 13-4 Sunday, putting the Twins into a one-game playoff with the Detroit Tigers for the AL Central title. The Twins and Tigers, who beat the White Sox 5-3, will meet at 4 p.m. CDT Tuesday with the division title and a postseason date with the New York Yankees going to the winner. Delmon Young added two solo home runs and Michael Cuddyer also went deep for the Twins, who overcame a three-game deficit by winning its final four games. Scott Baker will start the tiebreaker for the Twins against Detroit rookie Rick Porcello. The teams get a day off because the Minnesota Vikings host Green Bay on Monday night. Minnesota won 16 of 20 to reach the playoff. Carl Pavano (14-12) pitched on three days' rest, giving up four runs and striking out seven in 5 2-3 innings in what was supposed to be the final regular-season baseball game in the Metrodome. The Twins move outside to Target Field next year, but they're more than happy to keep playing under the shabby white roof for the time being. "The fans want a full 162-game schedule and they're getting it." "I guess it just says a little bit about the tenacity of this baseball team," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire Alex Gordon homered for the Royals, who fell behind 8-1 but rallied to bring the tying run to the plate. Minnesota was seven games down to the Tigers on Sept. 6 and appeared all but gone after falling four back with a loss at Detroit on Wednesday. said before the game. "They keep playing until the end.

And then some. And then some The Twins have been here before. Last season they went to a one-game tiebreaker for the AL Central against the White Sox, losing a 1-0 heartbreaker in Chicago to miss out on postseason. That game was played in the Windy City because the White Sox won a coin flip, something that infuriated the Twins after they won the season series. Major League Baseball changed the tiebreaker rule this season, giving home field to the team that won the head-to-head season series. The Twins went 11-7 against the Tigers this season, including 7-2 at the Metrodome. well celebration of 28 weird, wacky and sometimes wonderful seasons under the roof.

Homer Hankies that first made the national scene with the Twins' run to the World Series title in 1987 were back on display, and 51,155 fans — the largest crowd since opening day of 1993 — got an early reason to use them. Luke Hochevar (7-13) walked Denard Span, who stole second, to start the game. Then, with chants of "MVP! MVP!" raining down, he pitched around Joe Mauer with one out and first base open.

It was an intense back-and-forth match played in front of an equally intense crowd of 2,606, the largest that Kansas has seen all year. Junior Cattlin Noble said the team fed off the hostile crowd's energy. The Aggies broke the game open with two goals in the first 27 minutes. Katie Hamilton scored off her own rebound in the 16th minute. Then Texas A&M was awarded a penalty kick 11 minutes later, which Texas A&M junior Rachel Shipley easily converted. "Of course the fans are yelling things that are obscene and whatnot at you, but you just use that as motivation to prove them wrong and play any better," Noble said. "You can't get a better atmosphere to play a soccer game in." Senior Estelle Johnson put Kansas on the board in the 42nd minute when she collected a rebound off a corner kick and put a high shot past the goalkeeper, making the score 2-1 in favor of Texas A&M to end the first half. The gap widened just minutes into the second half, however, as Texas A&M's Bri Young elevated above Kansas's defense on a corner kick and headed the ball into the top of the net. But once again the Jayhawks responded to cut the lead to one. Freshman Shelby Williamson scored her fifth goal of the season in the 53rd minute by finishing a cross from sophomore Emily Cressy deep in the penalty area. However, the Aggies were able to pull away again 11 minutes later with another header goal, this time from Shleyp, who was able to beat the Jayhawk defense and head the ball from a free kick deep within the jayhawk's half of the field. The goal put Kansas down two with 26 minutes remaining. Noble was able to bring the layhawks within one again with a goal in the 88th minute, but it wouldn't be enough to avoid a 4-3 defeat. Coach Mark Francis said his team handled the atmosphere well but was disappointed with the errors that cost his players the game. "We gave up two goals on set pieces, which we shouldn't do," he said. "We made some mistakes and got punished for them." Kansas still had one more game to play last weekend, and the team faced Texas (5-5-2) on Sunday in KU 7 JACKS 15 Freshman forward Whitney Berry fights to maintain possession of the ball during the second half of the match against South Dakota.

The Jayhawks were eager for a different result than Friday's and came out firing with five shots in the first 12 minutes. But the next 35 minutes produced listless play from both sides, and the first half ended at 0-0. But the lajhwakes were unable to keep the lead very long, as Texas equalized with a long ball that appeared to be a cross, but instead Kansas regained its intensity about 10 minutes into the second half and managed a few quality shots on goal.

Kansas once again turned up the pressure and produced a couple of quality shots, but in the 77th minute a costly tackle in its own box resulted in a penalty kick for Texas. Longhorn sophomore Kylie Doniak calmly buried the shot in the bottom left corner to give Texas the 2-1 lead. It was Kansas' fourth penalty kick given up on the year. "We're making stupid tackles in the box when we don't need to." Francis said. "Again, it's just mistakes." Despite last-ditch efforts from Williamson and Noble, the game ended at 2-1, giving Kansas its fourth loss of the year, including three against Big 12 opponents. Now that the team's four-game road streak is over, Francis is trying to refocus his team on winning in Lawrence. “There’s just no question: We have to win at home” he said. The team will get its first chance to do exactly that when it plays Texas Tech this Friday at 4 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. NASCAR Stewart holds on to champion title in Sprint Cup Series - Edited by Abbey Strusz Office DEPOT. ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Tony Stewart found himself in danger of letting a title slip away after just two rounds in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. ASSOCIATED PRESS The two-time champion wasn't exactly in a must-win situation Sunday at Kansas Speedway, but a rocky start to the Chase put him in search of some very big finishes before leaders Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson put the title out of reach. With a gutsy call on the final pit stop, Stewart ended his slide and sliced into Martin's lead in the standings. His fourth win of the season — but first in eight races — moved him up one spot in the standings to fourth, and his deficit was cut from 106 points to 67 behind Martin. "That's almost half," Stewart said in Victory Lane. champion Johnson, who finished ninth after a series of bad pit calls took him out of contention. Martin, the pole-sitter, finished seventh and maintained his lead in the standings. He's up 18 points over three-time defending series But Martin wasn't in a celebratory mood after. There were only three drivers within 106 points of him at the start of the race. As he left Kansas, the field had been doubled to six. "Look at it however you want," Martin said. "What is there, seven more to go? I don't think we should be getting all hyped up about the tally right now, you know? We've got a lot of racing to go." Greg Biffle went to pit road as the leader, while Stewart was second. Biffle and his crew still didn't seem sure of what to do as he pulled into his spot, but Stewart crew chief Darian Grubb was confident two tires was the answer. The leaders went to pit road debating with their crew chiefs whether to take two or four tires on what was likely going to be the final chance to gain track position. The final outcome came down to strategy, and it started to shape as a race that would be decided on fuel mileage. Then Dale Earnhardt Jr., who led 41 laps early before bad breaks ruined his day, brought out the final caution of the race when an engine problem spilled oil on the track. "He's like that. He's a little gutsy, That's a good thing," Stewart said. "You don't question him, you just know it's the right thing to do." Stewart raced off pit road into the lead, with Kasey Kahne and Johnson in pursuit. Both also took two tires. Biffle, the first driver to take four tires, restarted in fourth and admitted to overruling crew chief Tony Stewart celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' Price Chopper 400 auto race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday in Kansas City. Greg Erwin, who only wanted to "I feel bad. Probably the wrong thing to do," said Bittle. Stewart took off on the restart with 26 laps to go, and all the drivers on four tires quickly sliced through the field. But it was Jeff Gordon who made up the most ground. He was closing in on Stewart but simply ran out laps to catch him and settled for second. Gordon, who battled a poorly handling car at the start of the race, was thrilled with the final outcome — until a NASCAR official informed him held only gained one spot in the standings to seventh. "That's it? Can't you read it different? Just tell me I'm fifth" he said. Only two Chase drivers finished outside the top 11: Ryan Newman, was penalized for speeding off pit road midway through the race, was 22nd and Brian Vickers finished 37th after blowing his motor. VOLLEYBALL Team swept by Texas A&M, winless on road in Big 12 The Kansas volleyball team is still without a Big 12 road victory after it was swept by Texas A&M on Saturday (17-25, 22-25, 23-25). Kansas fell to 9-5 (2-3 Big 12) on the season while Texas A&M improved to 10-3 (3-2 Big 12). Injured junior outside hitter Karina Garlington posted a season-low five kills and had five errors, but sophomore outside hitter Alison Mayfield continued her good season. Mayfield racked up 18 kills, just one short of her career high. Junior defensive specialist Melissa Manda had a match-high 18 digs and recorded her 11th straight game with double-11d killicks. Kansas committed nine errors in the first set and a strong Texas A&M offense won 25-17. Texas A&M recorded an impressive 21 kills in the second set on its way to winning 25-22. Oct. 9 Kansas did not give up despite being down 0-2 and stayed close during the third set. But after the score was tied 23-23, Texas A&M finished Kansas off. 25-23.

The morning of the game, all of the KU band members, past and present, get together to practice a few times before the big show. Ever since, this group of between 150 and 200 alumni has gotten together every year "A lot of the alumni still play; some of them play only once a year." This is the first time this group will play together and THOMAS STIDHAM Associate director of bands might be the first time many of the alumni band members have seen the music in years. Stidham, associate director of bands, said. "A lot of the alumni still play; some of them play only once a year, just at that event!"

Edited by Jonathan Hermes Note from the editor I was born and bred a Jayhawk. My dad graduated from the University in the '70s, and my mother, despite growing up in Missouri, is an intensely loyal KU fan. When I was younger, my family would make frequent weekend trips into Lawrence, especially when my cousin attended the University in the late '90s. We enjoyed walking on campus, eating on Massachusetts Street, visiting the Natural History Museum and going to the mall that used to be by the Kansas River. Those early experiences left me with very positive impressions, and when I started at the University last fall, it was almost like coming home. I had fun BY DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com reliving childhood memories and making new ones, and I fell more in love with the people, opportunities and traditions that make the University so special. I spent this past summer in Lenexa, eagerly counting down the days until I could return "home" to Lawrence, and I was overjoyed when move-in day finally arrived in mid-August. This week, alumni get to experience that same joy when they return to their alma mater for homecoming festivities. Alumni also once called Lawrence home and are largely responsible for the University's continued excellence. Not only did they start and shape traditions as students, they continue to support the University with donations to the Kansas University Endowment Association. In this special section, readers will find information about the annual events and traditions that undoubtedly helped make alumni's time at the University memorable. From the float parade and pancake feed on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall, to Chalk n' Rock and Jayhawk Jingles, this week is sure to have an event for everyone. Readers will also encounter stories about members of the KU community, including first generation Jayhawks and alumni that returned as faculty, and will get a special look at our mascots, Big Jay and Baby Jay. As Lawrence fills with alumni this weekend in anticipation of the Iowa State matchup on Saturday, I encourage students to look around and witness what life looks like after walking down the hill. I expect that they'll find that while times and people may change, Jayhawk pride and excitement at coming home to Lawrence never will. credits Publisher Editor-in-chief Managing Editor The University Daily Kansan Brenna Hawley Jennifer Torline Special Sections Editor Design Chiefs Dana Meredith Nick Gerik Kelly Stroda Liz Schubauer Brandy Entsminger Arthur Hur Melissa Johnson Adam Mowder Liz Schubauer Copy Chiefs Photo Editor Senior Photographer Business Manager Sales Manager Production Weston White Ryan Waggoner Lauren Bloodgood Maria Korte Megan Gonzales Steph Waugh The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

This year, the homecoming parade will commence on Jayhawk Boulevard two hours before the football game kickoff on Saturday. Each year, the University's chapters contribute to many events, with some of the 13 sororities and 22 fraternies engaging in this week's competitions. "The parade is the most visible event as far as all KU publics go because students, alums and kids can all attend," Ashley Moser, Topeka senior and co-director of the 2009 Homecoming Steering Committee, said. Each year, it is customary for fraternities to team with sororites and build floats seen in the parade. Sign-ups for the parade were in the spring, and the chapters earn points for their floats and for engaging in other homecoming events. This year, major points are also being awarded for participation in two featured events. The canned food drive, Stuff the Bus, took place on Saturday, and the Jayhawk Jog 5K walk/run on Sunday. Money raised from the events was given to benefit the United Way coalition. "People who are competitive participate in all of them," Moser said. The Homecoming Steering Committee created one new event this year, a YouTube video competition. The videos were to be centered around the theme "Peace. Love. Jayhawks." Steven Elliott, Abilene senior and co-director of the committee, said the submitted videos will be displayed on the University's YouTube channel. Elliott also said the videos will be shown in the Union Gallery at the Kansas Union, which is supported by Student Union Activities. Voting will take place online at www.homecomingku.edu this "This, like many of our other events, does give participating groups a chance to win points," Elliott said. week. To ensure that their own greek houses are participating, chapters are encouraged to elect homecoming chairperson positions. "As a homecoming chair we make final decisions and plan the week out," Katherine Goron, Joliet, Ill., senior and homecoming chairwoman for Delta Delta Delta, said. "For the events that need certain talents, like singing or drawing, we'll find people who are good at those things and have them play a big part in the event," Goron said. "We work with both chapters to make sure everyone has a great time." The points that the chapters earn determine the winner and will be announced on Saturday.

Students collected cans and strapped on sneakers this weekend for the University's two major charity events: Stuff the Bus and Jayhawk Jog. Stuff the Bus was a nonperishable food drive in which students literally stuffed a KU bus. Registered groups received points for participating in the competition. The event was held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday. The bus-fills of food were donated to the United Way of Douglas County. Last year, the bus rolled away with 9,700 canned food items worth more than $10,000. Justin Sailer, campus outreach co-chairman for the 2009 Homecoming Steering Committee, said participants were not only benefiting the University, but the Lawrence community, too. "Students are able to do something well for others and participate in a homecoming event with KU spirit," Sailer said. Another way students got involved while benefiting the United Way was by joining in the Jayhawk Jog. The 5K run/walk took place on Sunday at 2 p.m., beginning at the Kansas Union. A registration fee of $15 for students included a 2009 homecoming T-shirt and a donation. Caitlin Wise, Jayhawk Jog chairwoman, said participation in such an event was noteworthy on more than one level. "It's a great way to show your support for KU homecoming, donate money to a worthwhile cause and gain points towards Homecoming Week," Wise said.

Award celebrates students' involvement in academics, community BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI cbledowski@kansan.com When Nathan Mack, 2009 graduate, first learned that he won the Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership Award last October, it was halftime at the homecoming football game, and thousands of KU students cheered and clapped as his name was called. "I was very surprised that I actually won," Mack said a year later. "It was neat, too, because I could hear my friends cheering with the fans at the football game." The Ex.C.E.L. Award is an Mack is now an admissions counselor for the University. He said that the award helped him make connections on campus. annual tradition of the University's Homecoming Week that began in 1991. It rewards students who demonstrate outstanding performance in class work, extracurricular activities and engagement in the KU and Lawrence community. The award comes with a $500 scholarship and an invitation to participate in the Blueprint Leadership Conference in the spring semester. Every year, one male and one female student at the University receives the award at the homecoming football game. "Instead of having something artificial like the homecoming queen or king, we have the Ex.C.E.L. award." Stefani Gerson, coordinator of Student Programs at the Alumni Association, said. The University discontinued the homecoming queen tradition in 1970 in order to focus more on academics. To be eligible for the Ex.C.E.L. Award, undergraduate students must be enrolled full-time at the University and have an overall grade point average of at least 3.0 and have completed 90 credit hours. Furthermore, the committee asks that applicants show significant skills in leadership, communication and interaction with a wide variety of students and organizations. This year Mack will be on the selection committee as one of last year's winners. "It's important to be rather intentional about what you decide to do and how you decide to apply after your college career, Mack said. "Incorporate academic service, involvement, leadership opportunities and bring all that stuff in some sort of cohesive unit that defines who you are and defines your contribution to your community." Apart from Mack, the Ex.C.E.L. selection committee consists of representatives from the Homecoming Steering Committee, the Student Union Activities, the Student Involvement and Leadership Center and the Board of Class Officers. "The award is sponsored by several different organizations on campus, so there is a representative from each department." Gerson said. The award doesn't only rewards students for their good academic and leadership skills. Rachel Burchfield, one of last year's winners, was particularly well-suited because of her involvement in improving the KU and Lawrence experience. As well as participating in numerous school-sponsored activities, she was a new student orientation assistant and worked with KU Info. "I really wanted to make a difference and make a positive impact," Burchfield said. One of the key components of an Ex.C.E.L. Award winner is their involvement in activities on and around campus. "It's a commitment to the University and to leadership and to bettering KU." Burchfield said. "The ideal candidate is someone who loves leadership and loves to read and loves to help out." Burchfield graduated from the University in May and is now pursuing a master's degree of higher education administration at the University of Mississippi, Oxford. She is uncertain about the possibility of returning to Lawrence. "I'm very happy down here in Mississippi and I really like Oxford and I really like Ole Miss. But I'll never say never to coming back to KU," she said. "Overall, winning and getting the Blueprint Leadership Conference is a great addition to an application. It was a great experience."

Baby Jay experience spans generations BY MICHELLE COOMBS mcoombs@kansan.com Amy Hurst drives around Ann Arbor, Mich., in her Mini Cooper, which is decked out in crimson and blue, with a license plate that proudly labels her as the first Baby Jay. Hurst, who debuted Baby Jay at halftime during the 1971 homecoming game, is proud of her creation and the tradition it has brought to the University, and she is eager to show it. "I've even got Baby Jay personal checks," Hurst said. "I'm the original." Inspired during her freshman year at the University in 1970, Hurst spent the summer of 1971 creating Baby Jay's first costume, which is now displayed on the first floor of the Kansas Union. She introduced Baby Jay to the University that fall by hatching out of a blue egg in the center of Memorial Stadium. "Nothing will ever quite top the shock and awe of hatching out of the egg." Hurst said. "In my little Baby Jay brain, I can still hear the stadium. It was like everyone inhaled at once, like, 'Oh my gosh!' To surprise the thousands of people in that stadium was so grand." Alee Phillips, lecturer in accounting, also spent time as Baby Jay. She got her chance to shock the crowd in the 1996 basketball season, when the University unveiled a new line of costumes for Big Jay and Baby Jay. "They came in two days before the game where KU had publicly announced the unveiling of the new Jayhawks," Phillips said. "We had ordered them a certain way, and when they came in they looked hideous." However, because the University had announced that it would be premiering the new costumes at that game, the unveiling continued as planned. At halftime, two large boxes, wrapped as presents, were wheeled out to the center of the court. Big Jay and Baby Jay waiting inside. "We busted out of those boxes, and the crowd was almost silent," Phillips said. "I mean, you should have seen Allen "Big Jay can be imposing and fierce, and he should be. But Baby Jay is just a little sweetheart." suit via two very different routes. Hurst was inspired by a bumper sticker depicting Big Jay, with a line of little lajhayaws following him. In addition, her friendship with Big Jay at the time led her to pursue the creation of Baby Jay. 23 years later, in 1994, Phillips, became involved when her friends dared her to attend trouts. Fieldhouse. I don't think people booed, but it was like, 'What?' Then in the paper, for days, they were saying that they were terrible, and it was an embarrassment, and they looked like chickens. KU sent them back, and they never came out again for another game. Then they got what we have today." "I guess they thought that I was outgoing enough and that it would be a fun thing," Phillips said. "They During their time as Baby Jay, both Hurst and Phillips experienced the shock potential that comes with wearing the Jayhawk suit. However, the women came to occupy that AMY HURST Baby Jay Creator just dared me to go try out, so I did." Phillips said she was slightly surprised to have been selected and even more surprised by the tryout process itself. "It was more intense than I anticipated," Phillips said. "At the time, there was a physical fitness component, where you had to do timed runs and things like that to make sure that you were in decent shape, because it is very physically intensive, believe it or not." Not only was there no tryout process for Hurst, but the experience of being Baby Jay had evolved greatly by the time Phillips donned the mascot suit in 1994. One of the biggest changes was that a single person could no longer handle the mascot's strenuous schedule. "At the time, we had three Baby Jays and three Big Jays," Phillips said. "Now, they are involved with everything from private weddings to women's athletics and alumni events," Hurst said. "It is all such a great outreach and I think it's wonderful. There would have been no way that one person or one costume could have kept up with what they are now doing. Their role today has greatly expanded, which Teller's SUNDAY BRUNCH Only $9.95 with Student ID www.tellerslawrence.com For Hurst, Baby Jay's workload was hers alone until her graduation in 1974. I believe is absolutely fabulous." Mascot reunions, such as the Baby Jay reunion in 2001, give Hurst a chance to catch up on the mascot's evolving role and meet Baby Jays who came after her. "When I wore Baby Jay, I was the only one wearing her, so I never knew the people who came after me," Hurst said. Hurst said the reunion was special for her because the mascots shared their stories and experiences of being Baby Jay. "You were either peeing in your pants laughing at some of the things that happened, or you were just overcome with emotion," Hurst said. "We all share a passion for the mascot, so that was a great event." Though the generations of Baby Jay have had very different experiences, they all share a love of the Jayhawks and what they bring to the University community. Phillips said that having a pair of mascots added something to the performances. "It allows them to be able to interact and sort of create a fun environment with each other," Phillips said. "We would have skits that we would do at the beginning of basketball games, where we would run around the circle in the middle of the court, going opposite directions and then we would fall down and be silly, and I think that adds fun for the audience." Hurst said she agrees, and that she believes Baby Jay adds an entirely different component to the act. "I think Baby Jay is the mascot that really establishes a connection," Hurst said. "I think Big Jay can be imposing and fierce, and he should be But Baby Jay is just a little sweetheart. Her outreach is great for the little ones, and she's so great at cheering and getting people excited about the University of Kansas because she's just so gosh darn cute." In addition to their love for Baby Jay, both Hurst and Phillips said they were grateful to be a part of the tradition had become a part of generations of tradition. "The one thing that is just so delightful about this whole experience is that while it was all happening, I had no idea the impact it would have, because for me it was just a really fun thing to do," Hurst said. But it is just amazing the impact that has had. It is to think that never thought it has taken off, historical and tradition."

BY SHAUNA BLACKMON AND SABRINA LIEDTKE sblackmon@kansan.com, sliedtke@kansan.com In the past few years, being an eco-friendly hippie has changed from a lifestyle accepted by few to a widely marketed trend accepted nationwide. Though it is possible to spot a genuine hippie from the '60s and '70s on Massachusetts Street, for the most part, the references in our generation can be seen solely in peace sign-covered graphic tees telling one to recycle or go green. This year's homecoming theme is "Peace. Love. Jayhawks", a theme very much tied to Lawrence's hip, liberal community. Despite the popularity of it all, however, much of the energy of the 1960s and 1970s gets forgotten. These decades were about a lot more than just fashion and drugs; they were about a revolution and finding, or creating, a place in society for those who didn't fit into the standard box. Similar to areas like the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco, Lawrence was a place for young people to come and voice their opinions. Disapproval of the Vietnam War sometimes culminated in protests. In addition to the war, students also gathered to confront issues such as women's rights and racial equality. Though many of these events were peaceful, the period also saw incidents of violence, with roughly 50 acts of bombing or arson occurring between April and June of 1970. The Vietnam era is frequently associated with nationwide drug experimentation, especially the spread of marijuana usage. Along the Kansas River, miles of marijuana were grown, protected and harvested by a group that came to be known as the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers. Dan Bentley was in his early 20s when the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers got started. He remembered them as a small group with a large social presence. of hemp to make rope for the war. I'm sure some people sold it, but it wasn't worth anything." "It seemed more like a theatrical thing used by people for whatever ends they had, or just to raise hell." Bentley said. Maps were conveniently sold to these hampaves in many' of the town's most popular hangouts and Though marijuana usage was prominent in Lawrence, students were not distracted from standing up against what they perceived as the injustices of the University and the United States. In March of 1965, hundreds of students participated in a "sit-in" in front of then-Chancellor W. Clarke's Wesco office protesting racial exclusion as "I think Lawrence is still a socially conscious place to go to school ... Some of that might have begun back in 1969." DAVE MEREDITH 1973 graduate head shops, including the Rock Chalk and the Gaslight. "The ditches were full of hemp," Bentley said. "But most of it was worthless. They were growing a lot well as The University Daily Kansan's use of racist advertisements. Around the same time, women's rights issues were surfacing and becoming a cause for protest on campus. Back then, KU women endured strict regulations, including a mandatory three years in the residence halls, restrictions in parking privileges and a required course in lady's etiquette and manners. In the early 1970s, things went from heated to a full-on war between the students and the establishment. Between April and June of 1970, approximately 50 bombs and acts of arson occurred in Lawrence. Bentley recalled one night when the violence was particularly bad. "It was a really foggy night and you could just see the glow of all of the burning buildings and hear the gunshots," he said. The largest of these bombings occurred in the spring of 1970, when a bomb was placed in the elevator of the Kansas Union and set to detonate in the ballroom during the middle of the night. Dave Meredith, 1973 graduate, was at a friend's apartment just off campus when the bomb exploded. "We heard sirens, not just one siren, but many fire engines and police vehicles. We went up to campus to see what was happening and as we walked up to the Union, we saw flames and smoke," Meredith said. Seeing fires and violence was nothing new around Lawrence, but this was different. "I think the only thing that people generally felt and still feel was that it was not a student that had started the fire; it was definitely somebody that knew what they were doing and were responsible for that," Meredith said.

"I think the administration at the University thought the best way to handle the situation was to send everybody home," Meredith said. "They spread the word that all students and faculty members were to convene at the football stadium and Chalmers came out and explained that they were thinking of ending the semester early and were going to give students the option of either taking a final or going home. Well obviously not many students wanted to take their finals." The vote was taken by a vocal yay nay system. The yays won by a landslide. "Literally within a few days everybody had left and that did the trick. It temporarily ended what was going on at that time." Meredith said. African-American student, was shot by a police officer after police were called to investigate gunshots heard from what was known as the Afro- House. Dowdell and Frankie Cole were seen leaving the premises in a Volkswagen when the police started to follow the car. Dowdell and Cole ran two stop signs and refused to pull over after the police turned on their sirens. Dowdell then got out of the car and started to run while the exchange of gunfire occurred; it was then that he received a fatal shot to the back of his skull. Only a few days later, Harry Nicholas Rice, a white 19-year-old student, was shot and killed while participating in a protest of Dowdell's murder. These frequent acts of violence between youth and authorities only increased the tension and widened the division between the two generations. action negotiation team included a women's studies program, female staff on the financial aid committee, women's health care, free childcare and basic equality, all of which were met 13 hours later. This group of women came to be known as the February Sisters. A few months later in July, however, the violence returned. Rick "Tiger" Dowdell, a 19-year-old Things got so heated in Lawrence, that in August 1970 President Richard Nixon was forced to send some of his men to evaluate the sources of violence in Lawrence, as well as ordering National Guard troops to help reinforce the local police. Arguably one of the most defining moments in Vietnam-era Lawrence history occurred in 1972, when 30 women took over the East Asian Studies building, located a bit south of Corbin Hall at the time, barricaded the doors and demanded equal rights for female students. The demands of the women's affirmative "I think Lawrence is still a socially conscious place to go to school," Meredith said. "I know my son graduated from KU and he was involved in a lot of political organizations. I think some of that might have begun back in 1969." Homecoming is about having fun and enjoying our youth, but the past should not be forgotten. What the men and women of the 1960s and 1970s did greatly affects our day-to-day existence. According to Ryan Weaver, recipient of the graduate certificate in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, the whole event was very spur of the moment. The day before the takeover, Robin Morgan, an internationally known radical feminist, spoke on campus and helped students decide how to face the injustice they were dealing with. "It is amazing to me that the event, which was organized in less than 24 hours, was carried out successfully. I sometimes wonder if the organizers were themselves surprised with how successful they were on that day," Weaver said. — Edited by Jonathan Hermes Better off campus living Spring Semester Leases Available Check us out online www.tuckawaymgmt.com go to www.tuckawaymgmt.com for discount & more info Tuckaway www.tuckawaymgmt.com 785-838-3377 785-841-3339 ANSAN 2009 Library HISTORY Homecoming through the years BY ISAIAH CARDONA icardona@kansan.com First KU homecoming football game.

See. what I hear. See, I'm still new to town and don't really know all there is to know about KU's homecoming. Truth be told, I don't think many freshmen know what's happening on campus.

There's also the parade, which begins on Jayhawk Boulevard two hours before the game on Saturday. level here "This is the first chance most of us will have to see and to enjoy the traditions and history of the University." Talk about options. The only way my high school celebrated homecoming included a week of themed dress-up, topped with a parade around my high school's block, a boring football game and a cheaply-decorated dance. Clearly, things are on a different And we underclassmen, more than anyone else, get a chance to reap the benefits. This is the first chance most of us will have to see and to enjoy the traditions and history of the University. Homecoming has been held for nearly 100 years here, and freshmen can be a part of it. If we're willing to go out and get involved, we can make memories that will give us a reason to come back one day when we're long out of school. Just look at the alumni section Saturday at Memorial Stadium. They know how great this place is. They know there's a reason to come back 10,20,or even 50 years after they have graduated. For some it's the football team. For others it's the atmosphere on campus or maybe to relive the glory days. As freshmen, we get to see those reasons first-hand. The truth is that most of us don't realize we actually live here yet — that we're not on vacation or at a year-long summer camp, eventually to return home next summer to mommy and daddy. It's time to realize that a university can be much more than four years spent getting a degree. Homecoming, the Rock Chalk chant and Big and Baby Jay give us reason to get comfortable here — to finally turn from the inexperienced freshmen into members of the KU family. Remember that as you're hopping from event to event this week. It's not just about the swag, parade floats and a bone-crushing football beatdown. Instead, freshmen, consider it this way: for the first time since arriving here, homecoming gives us a chance to learn the true meaning of being a Jayhawk.

Sharing the traditions and letting outsiders be part of homecoming helps them understand why the University is special. The past three years haven't fallen short of my expectations and this year should be no different. Homecoming 2009 unofficially kicked off Oct. 1 with a concert by one of my personal favorites, Girl Talk. After setting the mood, the next week is filled with many fun activities that students are sure to find something to fit their preferences. For the sports enthusiasts there's a three-on-three basketball tournament. Those with a more creative side can share their talents in the jayhawk Jingle contest. If you're down for a good laugh, the Lied Center is hosting a comedian show. You can even shake your booty with that certain guy or gal at the Association of University Residence Halls homecoming dance at Hashinger Hall. If none of this sounds appealing, there's always the cookout and the pancake feed. Who doesn't like pancakes? Though there are many options for students to choose from, Homecoming Week is always a steady buildup to the excitement of game day. This year, the Hawks will take on the Iowa State Cyclones. Jayahawk fans can get pumped up for the game during the homecoming parade Saturday morning and by tailgating at the Adams Alumni Center. By the time it's kickoff, you'll be more than ready to wave the wheat. Homecoming is a great opportunity for students to come out and show their school pride. The University works hard to put together an array of entertainment for the week and everyone should take advantage of the unique activities available. My past three years at the University have been filled with some of the best times of my life. One of the primary reasons I chose to attend the University is the ever-present and infectious school spirit.

Iowa State University lies roughly 270 miles north of Lawrence in the city of Ames, Iowa Sta Acc Web si estak Colle in Stu er comp wome Th of 2' with ISU thi The Cyclone football team will have spent more than four hours traveling for Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium. According to the school's Web site, the Iowa state legislature established the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm in 1858 in Story County, a central county in Iowa Illustration by Drew Stearns/KANSAN The first building on campus was Farm House, which still stands today, and classes were held in one building. Old Main. The first graduating class entered in 1963. composed of 24 men and two women. This year, ISU has a record high of 27,945 students and a campus with more than 100 buildings. The ISU campus stretches across more than 1,984 acres, which makes it about 884 acres bigger than the KU campus. Iowa State boasts a few national firsts. In 1879, the nation's first school of veterinary medicine was established at ISU. It is also the birthplace of the first electronic digital computer. George Washington Carver became the first African-American student at Iowa State in 1891 after living here in Kansas. Later, he became the first black faculty member as well. Even though Iowa State lacks a daunting chant, it does have multiple school songs including "Bells of Iowa State" and "Iowa State Fight Song." The Iowa State Cyclone colors of cardinal and gold somewhat clash with our crimson and blue. The mascot, known as Cy, is a cardinal. As the school's alumni Web site explains, a cardinal was chosen as mascot because a cyclone is difficult to depict in mascot form. The Cyclone name came about after a sports writer compared an Iowa State victory against Northwestern to fighting a cyclone. Campaniling, according to Kelly Reynaga, Wichita freshman at ISU, is a tradition during Homecoming week in which couples gather around the campanile and kiss at the stroke of midnight. Another romantic tradition at ISU is Lake Laverne. It is said that if a couple can walk around the lake three times without speaking then they are meant to be. Mica Rumbach, Overland Park sophomore at ISU, said her favorite tradition at ISU involved the Zodiac sign on the floor of the union. "The story goes that if you walk across the Zodiac you'll fail your next test," Rumbach said. To reverse the curse students are supposed to throw change in the union's fountain. Rumbach said another popular tradition was VEISHEA Week. VEISHA is an acronym of the first five colleges at Iowa State: veterinary medicine, engineering, industrial science, home economics and agriculture. The week-long festival, which takes place in the spring, includes concerts and a parade. "My favorite tradition is midnight pancakes during VEISHEA Week.

Houston senior, attends a Kansas game with her father, Barry, a KU alumnus, Audrey's mother, Mary Sheryl, and maternal grandfather, Don, also both attended the University. kkwon@kansan.com Audrey Stucky, Houston senior, was one of those babies whose parents dressed her in KU jumpers. "I've been on this campus since I was little," Audrey said. Audrey is a third-generation Jayhawk. The Stucky tradition started in 1970 when Audrey's grandfather, Don Steck, graduated. Steck raised his family in Shawnee. The legacy continued when his daughter, Sheryl, decided to study at the University, where she met Audrey's father, Barry, who is originally from Inman. The two were married in 1986 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, at the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. "I's cool. When I lived in Templin as a freshman I'd walk by the Center and be like, 'Oh, that's where my parents were married!'$^{190}$ Audrey said. Audrey was raised a lajayhawk fan, and sports are one of the main things over which the Stucky family bonds. As a child, Audrey's father would make her watch basketball games on TV to teach her how to play. Because her parents still live in Texas, it isn't often they are able to make it out to Lawrence to visit, but Stucky remembers a specific football game against Kansas State that will always be a fond memory. "It was so cold outside, we all had blue lips," Audrey said, laughing. "My mom still talks about the $12 hot chocolates we bought." Despite her strong Jayhawk ties, Stucky said she didn't feel any pressure to attend the University. Her parents, however, are happy she does, and she said her relationship with them was closer because they could share KU traditions. When the Stucky family can make it to town, they visit the places they remember the most, such as Potter Lake. "I applied to three schools in total, but as soon as I knew I was admitted to KU, everything else was wiped off the board." "I'm sure I'll get phone calls for every touchdown," she said. This year, Audrey will be spending homecoming without her family but plans to attend the parade and enjoy the football game. Thomas Hiatt, Shawnee sophomore, said he's a bigger Kansas sports fan than his alumni parents. Thomas is a fourth-generation MEREDITH CARROLL Deerfield, Ill., Senior Jayhawk. His maternal grandmother, Dorothy Bennett, and maternal great-grandfather, Roy Bennett, led the way for the family legacy. Though his parents aren't as big of fans as he is, Thomas said they always cheered for the University in their house. "My parents weren't huge sports followers." he said. "But they have season tickets this year and they're coming up for the homecoming game." Thomas briefly thought about other colleges for his education. But he quickly realized the University was the place for him. His first experience at Memorial Stadium helped him make that decision. "I went to a KU versus Missouri game when I was freshman in high school and it made me wanna come here. I just remember a really fun environment," Thomas said. For Meredith Carroll, Deerfield, Ill., senior, choosing the University was a no-brainer. "I applied to three schools in total, but as soon as I knew I was admitted to KU, everything else was wiped off the board," she said. Eoth of Merediths parents and several of her aunts and uncles attended the University in the early 1970s. Like Meredith, her family grew up in the Chicago area before moving to Lawrence for school. Because so many relatives are alumni, cheering for the University has become a fun family experience. "Every time there's a game day my uncle is texting me, 'Oh my gosh, did you see that?' Meredith said. "My cousin, who is only 10 years old, already says she's coming here for college." As the Carroll family legacy continues at the University, Meredith's father Patrick Carroll said he was happy to be affiliated with the University even though it isn't exactly how he remembered it. "Much has changed and much has stayed the same on campus," he said. "But KU has always been a great comfort for my family, and we are proud to be alumni."

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO FRESH START Campus, culture attract first-generation Jayhawks cwesteman@kansan.com BY CORINNE WESTEMAN When Garrett Flippin, San Francisco junior, was looking at prospective colleges, he was unable to attend some of the schools in California. That's when Flippin learned about the University through some of his distant relatives. Strongly encouraged by his mother, he decided to tour the campus. "I fell in love right then and there," Flippin said. One of many first-generation Jayhawks, Flippin chose the University despite a lack of immediate family members who had previously attended the University. Flippin said he wanted a "real university feel." "When I came to KU, it was everything I wanted," he said. "When I first saw Strong Hall, it was the type of centerpiece of a campus that I wanted to be a part of." Stephen Doherty. Ft. Scott junior, said his need for a diverse campus is what drew him to the University. "I wanted more diversity, because I went to smaller schools, and usually there are a bunch of the same kind of people," Doherty said. "It's the first big school I've went to — lots more diversity and things to challenge me." Doherty transferred to the University from Benedictine College in Atchinson. While there, he said he was surrounded by people who had many of the same opinions he did. Here, most were people from all over the world with many different views. Here, though, he said that there "That's the biggest thing," Doherty said. "I want to be challenged outside of the classroom by these different opinions that I'm going to face in my everyday life and not inside "When I came to KU, it was everything I wanted. When I first saw Strong Hall, it was the type of centerpiece of a campus that I wanted to be a part of." this little bubble that Int in at a smaller school." In some cases, not having family members who have attended the University can make the transition harder for first-generation Jayhawks. Flippin remembered feeling uncomfortable when he first came GARRETT FLIPPIN San Francisco junior to Lawrence. "When I first heard about it and I hadn't done any research, I thought the University of Kansas would be out in the middle of the boondocks somewhere," Flippin said. "I thought I would be like the only black person on campus ... But I came here, and I found out it's a pretty diverse campus." "I was a little lost my freshman year," Lavin said. "I guess I kind of felt like 'dorky new kid'; because most of my friends already knew what was up, and I had to have everything explained to me ... But I figured it out now." Along with many in-state and out-of-state students, most members of the University's international student population are first-generation lavhawks. and first-generation layhawk, admitted that her transition to the University was rocky. Shishi Zhang, a southeast China sophomore, was very curious about KU culture upon her arrival on campus. "Some people think there's a lot of difference between the culture here and the culture in China, and it depends on the individual." Zhang said. "I like it." I just thought I, it just was curious. I didn't think it was weird, just interesting." Zhang decided to attend college in the U.S. after the score on her "Lawrence is such a great town to live in. It's got so much to offer." final high school exam was lower than she had expected. ERIN LAVIN Gardner sophomore "I was so disappointed and so were my parents," she said. "And I was not able to enter the universities I liked in China. So, I just thought that if I can change my location, where no one knows me or knows about me, I can start over." So far, Zhang has enjoyed her time at the University. She says the best part of her experience has been the professors. Her first semester, Zhang took an English 101 course. When she got a low score on her first essay, she decided to talk to her professor. After that, her grades in the class improved.

"It's like your own little city," he said. "And the professors — I absolutely of keeping you entertained" For Doherty, the professors and the diversity of the campus have been his favorite parts of the Jayhawk experience. Flippin had a hard time pinpointing his favorite part about being a lahayk. "I guess it's not really one thing; it's the whole experience." Flippin said. "From sports to being in a town of people your own age to campus life." "Lawrence is such a great town to live in," Lavin said. "it's got so much to offer. You can meet just about anybody, people from all walks of life in Lawrence. There's so many opportunities at KU to do whatever you want to do." While they might be firstgeneration Jayhawks, Flippin and Doherty hope to pass on the KU experience to other members of their family and, potentially, to future children. Lavin agreed that the Lawrence community is a vital part of the KU experience. SHISHI ZHANG China sophomore 1 "Some people think there's a lot of difference between the culture here and the culture in China, and it depends on the individual. I like it." Doherty has an older brother joining him at the University in the summer and said that he hoped to have a better experience with his brother here. "It's an excellent school — it's great for people who've been in a small town," said Doherty "To open your eyes to the world, and get out of the cloister that you're in when you're in a small town." Flippin said he would let his kids look at the University. "It's not for everybody, but if they like it, sure!" Flippin said. "It was a great decision to come here." Doherty said he didn't regret transferring to the University. he said. "I wish I would have come here earlier."

She also credited the University as being supportive of its faculty's writing work because it allowed her the time to publish and write her books. Her most recent book, "While I'm Falling," was released in August. Thoughts about homecoming: Rather than participating in University-sponsored alumni activities, Moriarty said she created her own. She recently held a mini reunion with a group of friends from college. Photo courtesy of Spencer Research Library Advice for current students: "You can get an excellent education in a huge class if you're proactive." Moriarty said. "You have friends that you keep for a lifetime," Moriarty said. She said she considered such relationships another important aspect of her experience here both as a student and as a faculty member. She advised students to seek out and talk to their professors and to sit in the front rows of classes. She also said she recommended participating in the University's exchange programs and extracurricular opportunities. On Coming Back: Moriarty, whose father was a Mariner, said she lived in a wide variety of locales in her lifetime, but said she felt something special for Lawrence.

I'd been back for five years, and then a faculty position opened at KU," Moriarty said. After a nationwide search for an assistant professor of English, Moriarty was chosen. "I am happy to be teaching at an institution that offered me so much," she said.

On Coming Back: Both Postma-Carttar and her husband are from Lawrence, and when he got a job in the area, they agreed that the town would be a good place to live as adults.

Therapy helps tune out stress BY ABIGAIL BOLIN abolin@kansan.com One thing can always boost Molly Iler's spirits on a bad day. Molly her's spirits on a bad day. "I blast 'Build Me Up Buttercup,'" Iler, Summit, N.J., junior, said. "You can't be in a bad mood when that song is on. It's not possible." Ier, like many students, listens to music on her way to class. The happy songs, guilty pleasures and pump-up tunes can help her and other students get through the day, but those same melodies may also help lower stress levels. Claire Ghetti, doctoral student in music therapy, said. Ghetti said that although music therapy usually requires assessment and intervention by a trained music therapist, there are some ways that students can informally use music to reduce stress. The music-centered approach works to connect "you with your own deepest wisdom as a means to develop greater Follow Abigail Bolin at twitter.com/ abbrev_rhode. self-awareness, wellness and creativity", Victoria Cagan, a fellow with the Association of Music and Imagery, said. Cagan, who is also a licensed specialist clinical social worker in Lawrence, said that music therapy could resolve personal, career, health and relationship challenges through this process. "Students can also use their preferred music to influence their mood, using upbeat, feelgood songs to improve mood and increase energy at key points in their day." Ghetti said. Ghetti said she recommended students listen to music they find calming for short, five-minute breaks throughout the day. She said practicing deep breathing and basic muscle relaxation exercises while listening to calming music helped relieve stress. "Having tools to help relieve stress is incredibly beneficial," Emily Berman, Tulsa senior in psychology, said. "When one support system fails, you'll have others to back it up." The music therapy program at the University was one of the first in the country and is "world renowned." Ghetti said. She said more studies needed to be conducted to see the true success of music therapy because of the relatively young nature of the program, which is only about 70 years old in the U.S. Music therapy can help resolve personal conflict when traditional for", Cagan said. "Many people find guided imagery and music gets to the heart of the problems they are dealing with more quickly." "Often individuals have tried traditional talk therapy but have not gotten the results they hoped therapy sessions aren't successful or don't produce the desired results, Cagan said. Unlike talk therapy, which relies heavily on verbal communication, music therapy uses non-verbal means to achieve a therapeutic outcome. Because the brain processes music differently than speech, therapists can "Students are under a great deal of pressure to perform." VICTORIA CAGAN Fellow with the Association of Music and Imagery use music to elicit different responses than with speech alone, Ghetti said. "Students are under a great deal of pressure to perform," Cagan said. "Music-centered therapy is the perfect connection to help students focus, set goals, recognize their full potential and move through the everyday stress of deadlines and degrees." - Edited by Nick Gerik STIMULUS Government gives funds to students BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Graduate students in math, science and engineering now have an opportunity to get a slice of federal stimulus money — a $50,500 fellowship to start or continue their graduate studies. The Department of Energy announced Wednesday that $12.5 million of stimulus money would be available for seniors and graduate students who want to pursue select graduate degrees. The Department of Energy is making these fellowships available in graduate training for basic research in physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computer science and environmental sciences. U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a news release that the fellowships would be awarded in early 2010 but that students could begin applying now through Nov. 30. Keith Yehle, director of federal relations for the University, said he notified people such as the deans of engineering and pharmacy about the opportunity. He said that this was a direct—to—student program from the federal government, and that an entrepreneurial student seeking money for graduate school should be interested. "This would be the chemistry senior this year at KU who wants to go on and get his graduate degree in organic or inorganic chemistry", Yehle said. "This is a pot of money — 12 and a half million dollars — that's sitting out there for students to take." Adam Cyr, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho graduate student and president of the Graduate Engineering Association, said he had seen students' interest in graduate school increase this past year. "I think that's either because they're trying to get jobs and they can't," Cyr said. "Or they think they won't be able to, so they're just checking it out. But I think there's definitely more interest by students in the undergraduate level about what graduate school has to offer." Christine Jensen Sundstrom, director of the Graduate Writing Support Program, said students who could receive money from extra sources such as the federal government for graduate studies had a benefit over other graduate students. She said graduate students typically relied on an adviser or p TO QUALIFY FOR STIMULUS FUNDS At the time of applying, you must be: ■ An undergraduate senior majoring in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, environmental sciences or computers sciences; or a first- or second-year graduate student in a qualified research-focused Master's or Ph.D. program at an accredited U.S. college or university ■ Have completed a baccalaureate degree in a field of physics, chemistry biology, mathematics engineering, environmental sciences or computer sciences by July 31.2010. - Enrolled as a full-time student. - Have an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or higher. t Follow Jesse Rangel at twitter com/igglephile. department with a grant or a GTA program. Sundstrom said it was important for students to make sure they followed all of the instructions when applying, because there would be a lot of applicants. "I suggest that they write their essay questions first offline," Sundstrom said. "And that they have essay questions read by several people in their field. It's best if they get reference letters from people who have worked with DOE." Cyr said he thought it was important for students to be aggressive in applying available grants and scholarship money. CAMPUS "I think some students come in and sit in the background a little bit and hope things work themselves out," Cyr said. "But I think you need to be active in trying to find that. You need to be active in applying for fellowships, things like this."

Associated Press Spotlight on Organizations Multicultural Theatre Initiative ballen@kansan.com BY BRENDAN ALLEN "It definitely makes you wonder," Hartman said. Lizzie Hartman, Shawnee senior, described the Multicultural Theatre Initiative as something that pushed the envelope, that made audiences think, and that even made them squirm a little. The Multicultural Theatre Initiative is a student organization dedicated to bringing alternative forms of theater to University students. The group is focused on promoting diversity and varied ethnicities through drama, and was formed last year to fill the niche of what MTI president Tosin Morohunfola, Leawood senior, called "diverse, thought-provoking theater." One of MTI's founding members, DeAndrea Herron, San Antonio alumnus, recalled the moment of MTT's conception. "We were in a cast in Salina, and there were about 40 of us," she said. "We looked to our left and our right, and out of that we only saw three people that were of a multicultural descent. That's when we knew that we needed to make a change." "We like to think of ourselves as bridging the gap for people who want to do theater but don't because they're afraid of it." Morohunfola said. "We always stress with every show: We want the novices; we want the amateurs." MTI isn't just looking for those with theater experience to spread the message of diversity. Hartman said keeping a steady influx of new members helped keep concepts fresh. "We are very much open to MTI has two upcoming events. The "10 Minute Play Festival" is a single night of several 10-minute plays written, directed and performed by KU students. The performance will be held May 5. what new people have to offer," Hartman said. "If only old people stay within the organization, we're going to get stale ideas, and that's not what MTI is about." MTI held auditions for both plays Saturday, but anyone interested in assisting the organization in other ways, such as directing, poster design, stage managing or publicizing, should send an email to mti@ku.edu, or look for one of the many MTI posters hanging around campus.

KANSAS Arts Commission The University of Kansas STUDENT SENATE KU UNIVERSITY THEATRE The University of Texas THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY OCTOBER 6 2009 --- NEWS 3A RELIGION Cleric to ban face veils for security BY SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press CAIRO — Egypt's top Islamic cleric is planning to ban students wearing the face veil from entering the schools of al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's premier institute of learning, according to an independent daily Monday. A security official also told The Associated Press that police had standing verbal orders to bar girls covered from head to toe from entering al-Azhar's institutions, including middle and high schools, as well as the doritories of several universities in Cairo. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he's not authorized to speak to the press, said the ban was for security reasons. While a vast majority of Egyptian women wear the headscarf, only a few wear the niqab, which covers the face and is common in neighboring Saudi Arabia which practices the more conservative form of Wahhabi Islam. The trend seems to gaining ground in the Arab world's most populous country. The moves appear to be part of a government campaign cracking down on increasingly overt manifestations of ultraconservative Islam in Egypt. There is no uniform religious opinion across the Muslim world about whether a head scarf — much less a face veil — is required. The majority of Islamic scholars say the face veil is not required but is merely a custom that dates back to tribal, nomadic societies living in the Arabian desert before Islam began. Sheik of al-Azhar Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi's plans came to light when he told a middle school student in a class he was visiting earlier this week to take off her niqab. Tantawi was inspecting al-Azhar's schools at the start of the academic year to check on measures in place to stem the spread of swine flu, according to details of the visit published by the independent daily Al-Masry Al-Youm. Tantawi told the girl that the niqab "has nothing to do with Islam and is only a custom" and made her take it off. He then announced he would soon issue an order banning girls from entering al-Azhar schools wearing the niqab. "Niqab has nothing to do with Islam...I know about religion better than you and your parents," the cleric was quoted as telling the student. Tantawi left Cairo late Sunday on a visit to Tajikistan and was not available for comments. Calls to his deputies went unanswered.

Personal farms are becoming new hobby BY RICK CALLAHAN Associated Press GEM, Ind. — Most evenings, Gary Mithoefer can be found at the end of a long gravel driveway off a busy highway, tending two garden plots filled with white sweet potatoes, squash, cabbages and a dozen other vegetables still thriving in early fall. The 62-year-old, who gardens after his workday ends at his state highway job, is one of a growing number of Americans rolling up their sleeves and digging into the dirt to raise crops or livestock on a small scale. The produce and meat raised by these small farms, sometimes called "hobby" or "lifestyle" farms, provides much of the food found at the nation's farmers' markets and roadside stands, said Maria 1. Marshall, an associate professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University. Mithoeder, who sells whatever produce his family doesn't eat, freeze or can at a Saturday farmer's market, said he loves working outdoors with a nephew who helps him till, plant, weed and harvest plots covering about a half-acre just east of Indianapolis along U.S. 40, the famed National Road. The Greenfield, Ind., resident recently sat in the fall sunshine near his fields vigorously washing buckets of cucumbers, squash, turnips and beets for the farmer's market as the air hummed with the din of cicadas and crickets. Many of the farms raise specialized crops and practice organic or sustainable farming. "We do it for the enjoyment," Mithoefe said as he scrubbed dirt from a cucumber. "We make some on it — it doesn't lose money. We try to be reasonable with our prices and give the customer a good quality product for a reasonable price. Not much goes to waste." The U.S. Department of Agriculture's most recent farm census shows that while the nation's largest farms keep getting larger, a growing number of small farms also are sprouting across the nation. February's census report found that the number of farms under 50 acres soared nearly 15 percent between 2002 and 2007 to about 853,000 nationwide. Nearly 300,000 new farms began production since the last census in 2002, and they tended to have fewer acres, lower sales and younger operators who also work off farm, said Ginger Harris, a demographer with National Agricultural Statistics Service, a branch of the USDA. Farms under 10 acres grew even more, with their numbers rising about 30 percent to 232,000. Although the census numbers show a growing interest in small farms, she said farmers weren't asked their motives for starting their farms or why farming isn't their primary occupation.

Edited by Lauren Cunningham INTERNATIONAL North Korea ready for disarmament talks ASSOCIATED PRESS PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong II told China's premier on Monday that the North was prepared to return to multination disarmament talks depending on progress in its two-way negotiations with the U.S. Kim's comments, carried by official North Korean and Chinese media, were the clearest sign yet that Pyongyang was readying to resume the sixnation talks it withdrew from after conducting missile tests in April and a second nuclear test in May. In their meeting late Monday, Kim said that North Korea "is willing to attend multilateral talks, including the six-party talks, depending on the progress in its talks with the United States," China's Xinhua News Agency said in a report issued early Tuesday. The North's Korean Central News Agency carried nearly identical comments. In the KCNA report, Kim told Wen that denuclearization remained a goal and that historically hostile relations with the U.S. "should be converted into peaceful ties through bilateral talks without fail." The wheels on the bus go ... uh-oh North Korea has been moderating its tone in recent weeks, signaling its willingness to resume a dialogue with the U.S., China and other partners and backing away from the provocative behavior and rhetoric of the spring. 42 CAMPUS BLUE A campus blue 42 bus scraped by the cement surrounding a traffic booth at the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Sunflower Road, near the Hall Center for the Humanities, at 7.07 p.m. Monday.

Riley. Marksmanship is a vital part of an arsenal of skills that the Ranger Challenge team will need to demonstrate during a three-day-long competition at Iowa State University later this month. Crews with heavy digging equipment tore down the collapsed remains of the six-story Ambacang hotel in the regional capital, Padang, where as many as 200 people are believed to have died, and were flattening several other damaged buildings. Rather than pull out the bodies that can't be reached, they are burying them under the rubble. PADANG, Indonesia — Workers used backhoes Tuesday to demolish buildings damaged in Indonesian's giant earthquake that left hundreds if not thousands dead, while food and emergency supplies were air-lifted to remote areas cut off by landslides. Aid workers are now focused on caring for the hundreds of thousands left homeless. Six helicopters shuttled aid to the isolated hillside villages of the Padang Pariaman district, where landslides buried more than 600 people, said Ade Edward,'head of operations control at West Sumatra's Center for Disaster Management. The search for survivors was halted Monday — five days after the 7.6-magnitude quake struck off the coast of West Sumatra. SPANISH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "It brings technology that books can't," Perkins said. "I hope we can use this as a model for other languages at KU." Jonathan Perkins, EGARC director, said he and other members of his staff had spent approximately 500 hours creating the Web site. He said the technological skills that the Web site taught students made it worth his time and effort. Through Acceso, students can interact with both print news articles and audio and video files from different Spanish and Latin American cultures. Associated Press ACCESSING ACCESO The interactive database, designed primarily for 200-level Spanish students, can be found at http://www2. ku.edu/~spanish/acceso/ and has resources for any aspiring Spanish-speaker to use: INTERNATIONAL Workers begin rescue repair after earthquake - **Gossary of terms and concepts** - **Maps and charts of Hispanic issues** - **Interviews with recognized Spanish-speakers** - **Grammar guide** Ann Cudd, dean of the humanities, said other foreign language departments had used supplemental course materials online, but that the online-only approach in department of Spanish and Portuguese for its 200-level classes was the most innovative she had seen at the University. "It itens to me a great way to present material and keep it up to also save the students money," Cudd said. "I believe they're going to make this open access to kind of revolutionize the teaching of language not only here but throughout the U.S." Cudd said that although she thought the online switch could be beneficial for other foreign language departments in the future, it also presented a variety of challenges. She said departments without as much classroom computer access or as many graduate students, who update the online content, might have trouble managing such a comprehensive site. said convenience was a factor in his department's decision to keep its textbook resources in lieu of online-only curricula. "We'd put this program up against any major language program in the country." Van Kelly, chairman of the department of French & Italian, "Wed put this program up against any major language program in the country," Rossomondo said. "It's the future of the way all course material is going to be delivered." Rossomondo said that Acceso was free and open to the public, but that it was intended for use under the direction of an instructor and could cause confusion for someone learning Spanish independently. She said she would travel "If you have the book, you don't have to jump back and forth between an e-book and exercise screens," Kelly said. "Not all students are as comfortable with that completely online format. It seems to be a good organizing tool for the students to keep that textbook in print form." AMY ROSSOMONDO Assistant professor Rosalea Postma-Carttar, associate professor and instructor of to other colleges and universities this year to pitch Acceso to other Spanish departments, beginning in November with a visit to Emory University. Spanish 212, said one of her favorite parts of having Acceso was how quickly it could be updated. In the past, the department had to wait for new editions of a textbook to update lessons, making the discussion of current events especially frustrating. "The last time I was teaching the course, one of the countries that it dealt with was Cuba," Postma-Carttar said. "One of the studies was this point of time when Fidel Castro got sick and Raul was running the country. It was kind of frustrating because the reality was contradicting the textbook." Kasten said the incorporation of more current events in his Spanish 212 section had helped to keep him and his fellow classmates interested every week. In one class period, he said, his discussion leader captivated his class by using Accesso to show an episode of the 'Colbert Report' that related to the day's topic. "There was lot of class discussion because everyone took interest in the video and enjoyed it more," Kasten said. "It makes things more interesting, but I think it also makes it a lot easier to start discussions. More people are willing to pay attention." Edited by Jacob Muselmann POLITICS Blair emerges candidate for EU president position emerged as a strong candidate for the soon-to-be-created post of European president. The former British prime minister may be coming back, this time in a presidential role. Vice President Lenin Moreno says an accord signed with indian leaders will bring down Amazon roadblocks that have been up for a week. The role — in effect, the president of the European Union — will be appointed by the heads of state of the 27-nation bloc after a new EU reform treaty is signed and ratified. LONDON — President Tony Blair? Don't laugh, it could happen. That process received a major boost this weekend with approval from Irish voters. Two years after leaving Downing Street, Blair has QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador says it will consider changes to draft mining and water laws that provoked a clash with Indians last week that claimed a protester's life. But Indian leaders said after six hours of talks Monday that before acting they need to consult with their communities, who account for roughly one in three Ecuadorians. They also fear the privatization of water, which Correa says won't happen. INTERNATIONAL Ecuador will consider new draft mining, water laws The powers of the new position remain unspecified and to a large extent it will be defined by the first person in the role. A key question is whether that will be a largely unknown bureacur or a luminary like Blair. The position could be created as early as this month, although EU officials have given no firm date.

SATTER LONDON — Upscale British supermarket chain Waitrose said Monday it was pulling its advertisements from Fox News in the U.K. after customers complained about the cable news channel's Glenin Beck program. Associated Press The popular and controversial talk show host is already the target of a boycott campaign in the United States after he accused President Barack Obama of harboring "a deep-seated hatred for white people." Conservative radio and television personality Glenn Beck does his radio show March 12, 2003, in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. Beck's controversial comments about President Barack Obama have prompted a boycott caucasion in the United States and IUK. ASSOCIATED PRESS Waitrose, known for its upmarket fare and focus on organic foods, said in a statement it was responding to customer concerns, and that the move was not politically motivated. The wide coverage afforded to Beck's tirade against the U.S. president and the subsequent boycott campaign has also been noticed in Britain — where Fox owner Rupert Murdoch controls a powerful news and broadcasting empire. Last month The Independent newspaper quoted James Rucker, Color of Change's executive director, as urging British companies to put similar pressure on Fox in the U.K., where it is broadcast by British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC — a satellite TV service 39 percent owned by Murdoch's News Corp. spokesman James Armstrong said the company was pulling out of the channel as a whole. Color of Change, the group which has lobbed advertisers to steer clear of Beck's show, claims that more than 60 U.S. companies, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., have deserted the pugnacious television host. He declined to say how much money was involved in the ad deal, calling the information commercially sensitive. Sky Broadcasting, which looks after Fox News advertising sales in Britain, did not provide a figure either. Although most U.S. companies who have dropped Beck's program still continue to advertise on other segments of Fox News, Waitrose Sky reaches about nine million homes in the U.K. and Ireland. Fox News did not immediately return a call seeking comment. HOROSCOPES 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Today is a 5 Circumstances are beyond your control.

EDITORIAL BOARD Required alcohol class needs improvements INTERNET Congratulations! You have completed the online alcohol safety course! To address the serious alcohol problem at the University, the administration has mandated that virtually all incoming, degree-seeking students under the age of 21 must take an online alcohol class that aims to inform them about responsible drinking. In contrast to some policies proposed to address alcohol problems at the University, the new initiative to educate students is a step in the right direction, although it does need improvement. These classes, called AlcoholEdu, are not perfect. The skits and short videos included as part of the course will win no awards for acting or best screenplay. Some of the material borders on downright cheesy. It is also possible for some students to just choose not to watch the video portions. "The videos you could just mute," said Claire McInerny, Overland Park, freshman. "Everyone I talked to said they were on the phone with someone or just watching something on TV." Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said the goal of these classes was to increase the baseline "I learned a lot," she said. "I assumed that I knew more than I did going in." The length of the program detracts from its effectiveness. The length of the initial class is fairly long, estimated to take most KANSAN'S OPINION Mlcnyrner agrees to an extent. "I understand why the University did it, and I thought there were good things in it about what to do if someone has alcohol poisoning." Mcnernny said. "I wouldn't have known what the signs were if I wouldn't have watched it." students two to three hours to complete. One of the longest parts of the course is the survey portion. The course tries to tailor its content to different groups of students based on their responses about previous alcohol education and their drinking habits. However, this relies upon students answering the questions honestly, which will not always be the case. Students will most likely answer lower than the true amount they actually consume or not pay attention to their answers whatsoever. The course tries "The survey was the longest part, and you had to do it twice," McInerny said. "Everyone I talked to said they just went through and clicked buttons, because it took so long." The administration is using AlcoholEdu to collect information they can use to target initiatives addressing the roots of the University's alcohol problems. This is done by compiling answers from the surveys that students complete during the course. Again, this information will not be valid, because of the likelihood that students will not answer honestly. The University's administration should be commended for requiring better alcohol education for incoming students. However, this program is still obviously flawed and the University needs to continue examining ways to realistically improve how it reaches students. — Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board Josh Goetting contributed reporting for this story. POLITICALLY CORRECT Good or bad: cigarette tax increase Gow. Mark Parkinson said he would consider a new tax on cigarettes to offset the $1 billion deficit the state faces this fiscal year. Here's what three of our political columnists think about the proposal: LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BEN COHEN The slight raise in taxes on tobacco products isn't exactly something to be concerned with. To start, there's the whole "Smoking will kill you anyway" thing. Preachy, and basically every smoker I know has heard this and made their peace with it. It's easy to get scared at the thought of higher taxes. There are some ethical questions at the very idea of sin taxes, those assigned to things such as tobacco, alcohol and pornography, but I look at that the same way 1 do most taxes: a primary way for the city to collect revenue. The increase back to .11 percent on tobacco products isn't even new — it's a return to rates we had four years ago, which had been decreasing slightly each year. This isn't going to sway anyone who already can't stand the thought of raising taxes (or in this case, restoring them), but it's the only way I know how to look at this. Cohen is a Topeka senior in political science. THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON DANTHOMPSON The health benefits of any such increase must be carefully weighed against the drawbacks, including the reality that the tax's greatest burden falls upon those who can least afford it. Caution and skepticism are always in order when the government proposes to use taxes to encourage certain types of behavior. Such an excise tax on cigarettes is regressive and, some would argue, paternalistic, but it saves money. Ultimately, and unambiguously, it saves lives. I oppose a tax on sugary drinks, for example, because it crosses the line between prudent health policy and worrisome paternalism. But a pack of Marlboros, unlike a 20 ounce bottle of Coca-Cola, contains a singularly pernicious health hazard. Smoking cigarettes, in economic terms, produces an enormous negative externality, not only in the form of second-hand smoke, but also in the billions of dollars in increased health care expenditures that we subsidize as tax-payers. — Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON There are many problems with a sin tax. First, sin taxes are terribly regressive (placing a much greater burden on the poor than the rich). Not only do more poor people smoke, they spend a much greater percentage of their income on cigarettes. Studies show those who are encouraged to quit smoking tend to be in middle or upper income brackets — making it even more regressive as time passes. Despite President Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on people earning less than $250,000 per year, he signed a bill hitting smokers with the single largest tobacco tax increase ever. Secondly, the government becomes addicted to the revenue the sin tax yields. But when people quit politicians must either increase the tax again or search for new behaviors to demonize and tax. So it's no surprise that Congress is now considering a soda tax and an alcohol tax. It's time for the government to kick their habit and "butt" out. WHO DO YOU THINK IS POLITICALLY CORRECT?

HUMOR Accepting the f-bomb Let's say you're a young comedian, and you've just landed your dream job. A spot on "Saturday Night Live." And on your first episode, you get to star in your own sketch, something that can take years to happen for other cast members, if it even happens at all. Your character is a biker chick who says "frickin", "freakin", "friggin" or variations of other words (a hilarious character indeed). Now, let's say you let your guard down, and about 12 friggins into the sketch, that ugly monster of a word emerges from its dank cave in the recesses of your brain, punching the little voice in your head that's chanting. "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it," directly in the throat and soiling the ears of all who tuned in to the show. What would you do? That's what Jenny Slate did on the season premiere of SNL last month. She puffed up like a blowfish, performing the facial expression equivalent of Ashlee Simpson's bizarre jig during the SNL lip syncing fasco of 2004. Here's the odd thing, though. NBC said Slate will not be fired. And the Federal Communication Commission didn't even fine NBC since the profanity occurred late enough at night, according to various entertainment blogs. Nothing real came of the unfortunate utterance. You'd probably make a face that says, "I'm so dead." In their state of silent disbelief, those audience members probably thought they had seen Slate's last moments before SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels personally dumped her lifeless body into the East River. And with good reason — the last cast member to say the f-word, Charles Rocket, was fired. So why all the shock about something that most people say every day? Why all the hallabaloo over a four-letter word? We here at the University of Kansas are no strangers to the UNDER OBSERVATION ALEX NICHOLS CHOLS strange emotions evoked by the f-word. The controversial kickoff chant that contains the word has put students at odds with the campus leaders who don't want folks watching football games on television to think we're vulgar, unwashed hooligans. What I find to be interesting is that the focus seems to be on that one little word and not the fact that the chant endorses forcible decapitation. If we chanted "I do say, give that gentleman a severe case of cranial avulsion," the University would point to it as an indication of the student body's improving vocabulary skills. There seems to be a dissonance between the values we assign certain words and the impact they have on the real world. We can talk all we want about removing skulls without consent, but the moment a dirty word gets thrown in, people react in horror. But what really happens when somebody says the f-word? Do our ears bleed? Are we struck by lightning? Do puppies stop being cut? No, no and — thank God — no. Bad words are bad only because we say they are bad. It is a self-fulilling prophecy, like somebody who haspremonitions ofbecoming a hobo deciding to major in English. The only negative result of somebody saying a bad word is the controversy that surrounds it. If we followed the teachings of George Carlin, the patron saint of cursing, wed let words just be words and worry only about the important things in life. The key is to just not give a fuck.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO Climate change all too real for some countries Perhaps Mr. Compton's assertions in his column last week "Climate Change: A History of fear" are correct, and climate change is the load of bolonney. But the people of Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru, Barbados and several other low-lying island nations would disagree. Vast portions of Tuvalu and Kiribati have become inhospitable, forcing internal migration. The land is full of salt-water, turning the vegetables and food people have traditionally lived off into husks of their former selves. The islands have become increasingly crowded, and emigration from both Kiribati and Tuvalu will soon become necessary according to their governments. The United States last week signed an agreement with the nation of Kiribati to provide for future common defense and the protection of marine life in the country. Shouldn't that extend to ensuring the future of their homes? Did the U.S. Marine Corps loses 990 men storming the beaches of Kiribati during World War II just so the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change could predict it would sink 150 years later? The people of these nations will lose their loved ones, their homes and their traditions. Climate change is an issue of humanity. People fear action because it may just be alarm. Go to these places and look where people used to live — they lie under the tide. Furthermore, if Mr. Compton is indeed afraid for the people of the U.S. then maybe he would have noticed the record droughts the states of California and Georgia are experiencing. The drop-off in precipitation on the North American continent has contributed in part to alterations in weather patterns, according to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Even a two-degree change in temperature will affect the tidal patterns globally. Sean Elliott is a sophomore from Stanley.

Right on the 12-yard line. While many in the crowd roared, a man in a bright red shirt came running out and cleaned up the mess. A few minutes later, Jamal Charles fumbled the opening kickoff and the New York Giants 8 "We've got to understand the second quarter of the season begins today." "We've got to understand the second quarter of the season begins today." Haley added. "It's all even, and that's the only way we can think.

"We are 0-0 as far as I'm concerned, and that's what we've got to do as a team," Haley said Monday, a day after the 27-16 loss that kept the Chiefs winless at 0-4 with Dallas coming in next week. grabbed a quick 7-0 lead in a game that suggests the guy trailing the horse and Chiefs coach Todd Haley have something in common. TOOD HALEY Kansas City Chiefs coach Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley, center, argues a call during the fourth quarter of an NFL game against the New York Giants. Oct. 4 in Kansas City, Mo. The Giants won the game 27-16. Haley is also trying to clean up a mess as quickly as possible. The Chiefs are 2-29 going back to 2007 and last in the NFL in third-down conversions. The problems here run deep. The defense seems to have improved a bit from last year's 2-14 debacle with the addition of linebacker Mike Vrabel, who came over from New England along with quarterback Matt Cassel. But a killer for the offense game after game has been an inability to convert on third down. It's a statistic in which the Chiefs rank dead last among the 32 NFL teams. They have converted just nine of 51 third days, less than 18 percent. While being dominated in the past two weeks, they've been a combined 2 for 26 - 0 for 11 against Philadelphia and 2 for 15 on Sunday against the Giants. "Third downs, they are all determined based off first and second down," said wide receiver Bobby Wade. "Our first and second downs have to be a lot better. Coach reiterated that to us last week and I'm sure it will be an emphasis this week." "On fourth down, we were 75 percent, which I factor into the equation," he said. "At least we were reasonable counting those. But that doesn't help you on third down. We put an emphasis on it last week... "I thought we did an excellent job in practice in that area. It didn't translate to the game. We've just got to keep chopping wood." Haley had thought progress was being made. With an offensive line that's been struggling and a quarterback who's been missing open receivers, the Chiefs have managed only 986 total yards in four games. Only Oakland is worse. Holding the near-helpless Oakland offense under 200 yards in the second week has kept Kansas City from being last in the NFL in total defense. Instead, they're 28th, giving up a total of 1,516 yards. on three Super Bowl winners for New England, said the Chiefs are still struggling to find their identity. "We have to become a team," he said. "When we are playing a complementary-style game, that is when we can be successful. Now it seems like we are just putting plays together. It doesn't look like a team. Sometimes we get caught up in one play or the next as opposed to the big picture of how we need to play A frustrated Vrabel, who played each week to win." Vrabel has told his younger and less experienced teammates not to worry about the constant roster turnover. "We can't be concerned with who is coming or coming out," he said. "You have to worry about yourself and the job you are doing. That is the business. You are searching for guys who are going to help us win, and that is going to go on throughout the year." NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Dallas not living up to standards IRVING, Texas — A month into this season, the Dallas Cowboys have mastered mediocrity. They're 2-0 against teams that haven't won, 0-2 against teams that haven't lost. They're 2-0 when Tony Romo holds onto the ball, 0-2 when he turns the ball over. They've won once by throwing and once by running. Their defense keeps getting better, but isn't good enough to carry them, especially not with DeMarcus Ware still seeking his first sack. Looking for one thing they've done really well all four games? "I still think our special teams are playing solid for us," coach Wade Phillips said Monday. Being stuck in the middle is nothing new for Dallas. Since starting 11-1 in Phillips first season replacing Bill Parcells, the Cowboys are 12-12, or 12-13 if you count a playoff loss. After failing to make the playoffs last season, things were supposed to be different this time. With three-fourths of the season to go, that could still happen, but something's going to have to change. "We are good enough to win, but we are not good enough (to win) making too many mistakes," Phillips said. Phillips noted that Dallas beat Tampa Bay and Carolina by at least 10 points and went down to the wire in losses to New York and Denver. That's either encouraging or agonizing, depending on your perspective. on the final play of the game, blowing a lead they'd just regained and spoiling the debut at their fancy new stadium. Against the Broncos, they didn't trail until there was 1:46 left and had two short throws into the end zone that could've tied it in the closing seconds. The Cowboys lost to the Giants "You're kind of like, 'OK. Where are we? What is our identity?" linebacker Bradie James said. "Our identity is we're 2-2. In order for us to continue to win and not be an up-and-down team, we have to win those tough games. That's just it." Romo threw three long touchdown passes in the opener and had another TD toss the next week. Now he's gone two straight games without a touchdown pass, the first time that's happened since he became a starter in 2006. 9 Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo throws a pass during the team's NFL training practice in San Antonio July 29. Romo has vowed to take fewer gambles after having at least one turnover in 11 of 13 games last season. Gumby's is rolling back the clock on the BIG ass!

They've been shut out twice — once with Marc Bulger taking the snaps and again on Sunday with Kyle Boller getting the start. The winless Rams (0-4) have been outscored 108-24 and are making far too many mistakes under a rookie coach that has stressed fundamentals from Day 1, committing three turnovers that produced touchdowns for the 49ers in a 35-0 whitewash Sunday. Steve Spagnuolo told the team Monday, as he has every week, to separate the upcoming game against Minnesota from the past failures of a franchise that has an NFL-worst 14-game losing streak and overall 5-31 record since 2007. "It's going to sound like a broken record, but it's not going to change." Spagnuolo said. "Once we start winning, it's not going to change then, either. "I don't know any other way to do it." True to those words, Spagnuolo said offensive tackle Alex Barron would likely be back in the lineup this week. Barron, a first-round pick in 2005, was benched near the end of the half after getting penalized for lining up behind the line of scrimage. Spagnuolo didn't say what else prompted the benching. He spoke with Barron on Monday and reminded him of the team's expectations for a player who was expected to become the dominant tackle after Orlando Pace left. "I have my reasons for what I did, and they've been expressed to the team as well as Alex." Spagnuolo said. "Just like I told Alex, it's over, it's done, we move on." The Rams are hoping that offensive tackle Jason Smith, the second overall pick of the draft, can return after missing two games with a sprained left knee. $8.

Now, it's football season. Time for Kansas City sports fans to look to the Chiefs for salvation ... or maybe they should just read a book instead. Edited by Megan Morriss And that's the funny thing. The Royals finish another awful season, and no one seems to be angry. What's more, no one seems to really even care. Not even a little. Not about the good (of which there is precious little), and not about the bad. Billy Butler emerged as a legitimate middle of the order bat. That's nice.

He'll probably win the Cy Young — and most definitely should. It's a shame he couldn't get the necessary run support to remove any questions altogether. Joakim Soria recovered nicely from his injury, and had a pretty good year. Of course, he could have done even better if there were more leads to protect. That's the good. The bad could fill the rest of this page, so I'll sum it up as succinctly as possible — Tony Pena Jr. played in 40 games this year. He hit .098. Seriously. THE MORNING BREW T BIG 12 FOOTBALL Oklahoma doesn't make excuses with hurt players Coach Bob Stoops and his Oklahoma team have been hit by the injury bug once again, this time losing a pass catcher instead of a pass thrower. Stoops announced Monday in his weekly teleconference that sophomore receiver Ryan Broyles would miss two to four weeks with a small fracture in his left shoulder blade. Broyles has 23 catches for 346 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the team in each category. Oklahoma takes on Baylor at home this weekend, and comes to Lawrence in a little more than two and a half weeks. Junior quarterback Sam Bradford's status is unchanged from last week. Stoops said he would evaluate Bradford during practice this week and make the decision. "I'm not getting into how close or far he was," Stoops said. "The bottom line, he wasn't where he needed to be." Despite being hit hard by injuries, Stoops said his team had hung in there really well. He said he thought his team could be similar to the one that won the big 12 championship despite losing Adrian Peterson and moving wide receiver Paul Thompson to starting quarterback. "In the end, you deal with the circumstances and the hand you're dealt, and they understand that." Stoops said. "We won't make excuses and other guys have to step in and step up and make plays." Clark Goble CRIME lowa man deemed stable to stand trial after test IOWA CITY, Iowa — A judge ruled Monday that the man accused of gunning down a legendary lowa high school football coach is mentally competent to stand trial. Mark D. Becker, 24, can appreciate the first-degree murder charges against him, understand the proceedings and assist with his defense, according to an order filed Monday by Butler County District Judge Stephen Carroll. Becker had been scheduled to stand trial last month in the June shooting death of Aplington-Parkersburg High coach Ed Thomas, who led the team in northeast Iowa for 34 seasons and was named the NFL's High School Coach of the Year in 2005. The case was put on hold pending a mental competency ruling after experts agreed Becker, who once played for Thomas, hallucinates and suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, but differed on whether he was mentally fit to stand trial. Mr. Becker has sufficient ability to recall events which will be pertinent to his defense" Carroll wrote in the order. That includes Becker's ability to recall the series of events on June 24, when Thomas was shot to death in the high school weight room. Carroll said Becker's paranoid schizophrenia is "undisputed" but that an increased dosage of an anti-psychotic medication, along with the findings of the prosecution's psychiatrist, lead him to believe Becker can understand the trial proceedings. "Becker was able to recall and relate those events in a 'precise, chronologic, detailed, coherent manner," the judge wrote. Associated Press NFL "The evidence indicates that Favre leads Viking victory against former teammates MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre proved to the Green Bay Packers he has plenty of fire left inside, and in his right arm. Favre's first game against his former team was all fun for the Minnesota Vikings and all frustration for the Packers, as the grazing quarterback connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards in a 30-23 victory on Monday. Favre went 24 for 31, without a turnover. The Vikings (4-0) sacked Favre's replacement, Aaron Rodgers, eight times.

Jayhawks get ready for upcoming tests against familiar foes jjenks@kansan.com BY JAYSON JENKS jionks@konson.com Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter com/JaysonJenks The callous reality of conference play unfolded at one of the Big 12's smaller stages, far from the tradition, packed crowds and winning-seasons of programs such as Oklahoma and Nebraska. On a windy Saturday afternoon last year, Kansas traveled to Ames, Iowa to face a flailing Iowa State team that would finish last season submerged in the Big 12. The Jayhawks expected to handle the Cyclones. Instead, they were punched in the mouth. t Kansas fell behind 20-0 at halftime, escaping "There's always that mentality that people are gunning for you." with a razer-thin victory thanks to the third-largest comeback in school history, winning 35-33. TYLER LAWRENCE Former quarterback More than a lackadaisical pregame attitude, last season's game against Iowa State shows the sharp teeth of a conference whose bottom teams can easily clamp down on any Saturday. "The message to our players is this. You can't take anybody lightly. You can't just show up when you're playing in the Big 12", coach Mark Mangino said. "Any team can beat anybody and I think we learned a valuable lesson in Ames last year." With Kansas' non-conference games in the rearview mirror, the grind of Big 12 play sits on the horizon. The conference currently has six teams ranked in the top 25, which ties the SEC for most ranked teams in a conference. And it's that depth that wears on teams during the eight-game conference season. Two years ago, an unranked Colorado team shocked perennial Big 12 contender Oklahoma, and Kansas State defeated Texas in 2006 and 2007. "Since KU has really become a good program, everyone wants to come watch you play and everyone wants to see an upset," former quarterback Tyler Lawrence said. "There's always that mentality that people are gunning for you. It changes everything. You're going to get every team's best shot every week." Added former running back Jon Cornish: "It's serious business in conference play. You can't mess around anymore." From British Columbia, Canada Cornish watched during his youth as the Big 12 routinely placed teams in national championships and major bowl games. With that in mind — and with the desire to play in front of capacity crowds — Cornish decided to join the jayhawks and test his hand in the Big 12. Cornish, who currently plays in the Canadian Football League, said the Big 12's total package — from top-level coaches and athletes to intense fans — created a unique playing situation few, even in major college sports, get to experience. "It's the greatest thing and it's the reason why I wanted to play in the Big 12," Cornish said. "I wanted to play in the big leagues. For me, for people in Canada that watch college football, that's what the Big 12 was." With the added exposure comes added pressures. Look at Oklahoma, a preseason favorite to appear in the national championship game that now is all but eliminated from the title race entering conference play. In Division I football, there's little margin for error, regardless of the opponent. That margin hips even more once the Big 12 season rolls around. "With my time there, I had a nice, easy preseason schedule and I didn't really get too worked up," Cornish said. "But the Big 12 has some big boys. It's difficult to really stay at 100 percent the entire season. You're having big people that are just as fast as you continuously hitting as hard as they can." Sure, the athletes are physically more gifted and simply better football players in conferences such as the Big 12. After all, the stars of Northern Colorado and UTEP SEE BIG 12 ON PAGE 8A INTRAMURALS Flag football players to play for championship BY PAT ELAND peland@kansan.com The flag football playoff brackets were set in a team captains meeting Wednesday. Captains from the 115 teams in five联赛 met with intramurals coordinator Matt Beck, who went over the structure of the playoffs and selected seeds for the brackets. Beck said that the teams were seeded based on the records from their three regular season games. Because many teams had the same records, Beck also factored in sportsmanship ratings, which are points subtracted by referees for fouls and penalties during games. Kansas intramural flag, football players will finish their season with something that Mark Mangino's student athletes won't - plavioffs.

Intramural playoffs also hold a special significance for fraternities and sororities, which compete for points toward a Greek championship. "It's a lot more fun," Krenner said. "The intensity is a lot higher and everybody takes it a lot more seriously." "It's about bragging rights," Salina junior Alex Krajicek said. "The whole house gets into it during the playoffs."

COMMENTARY Dramatic possibilities in store for Big 12 North BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Thirteen days between football games is ample time to think about the next team Kansas plays. But it also allows for speculation from people looking at the Big 12 North and those wanting predictions for this collection of bewildering teams. 4 Atter getting blocked out of a victory on Saturday against Kansas State in Arrowhead Stadium, Iowa State comes to Memorial Stadium this Saturday looking for a rebound win and revenge for the comeback victory Kansas stole last year at Iowa State. Iowa State is a team at the bottom of the Big 12 North with a record of 3-2 that has not, and really was not expected to make any waves this season. However, for the three teams that were projected to hold up the little legitimacy that the Big 12 North still has, the next weeks will prove how the conference will stack up nationally. Ultimately, it is nearly impossible to make predictions for this identity lost conference. Kansas has steadily climbed national rankings, but has yet to play another ranked or nationally respected team. Nebraska played a nationally ranked team and proved that it could actually compete. Missouri, on the other hand, has impressed the nation with its young players, yet has played a schedule similar to Kansas in that none of its opponents will be talked about come December. Nebraska and Kansas look like they should both be sitting pretty with only two losses going into the last week of the season, both most likely losing to Oklahoma, but with Nebraska falling to Kansas in Lawrence Nov. 14. Kansas' other likely loss to Texas would still have them competing for the Big 12 title, once again most likely against Texas, because Missouri seems to have the toughest schedule and could end the season with its third loss coming at Arrowhead Stadium against the Jayhawks. This bye week has given all the anxious fans out there a few too many days to look into the future. Although beneficial for the team, as any good coach would say, we must all just go one week at a time. Because in this conference, that's all a fan can do. For Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas, Big 12 conference play is starting on several different pitches of confidence. Nebraska, probably the biggest competition for Kansas in the North, has suffered only one loss to the very talented Virginia Tech Hokies in which it only lost 16-15. This week Nebraska plays the undefeated Missouri Tigers in Columbia, Mo. and the loser of this game could be out of competition for the Big 12 North title by Sunday The ever-improving Nebraska defense should allow them to handle Missouri and stay on top of the standings for another couple of weeks because after Missouri they play Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Baylor. They would be on top of the Big 12 rankings with Kansas, who shouldn't be challenged until the Oklahoma game on Oct. 24. Edited by Abby Okese t Follow Nicolas Roesler at twitter com/nroserle8 !

One was typical for the region and came from a small and well-documented species. The other, however, was of the bird-eating, fanged variety, which more than doubled the first in size and had never before been recorded. Its discovery has earned McLeod recognition this fall by major news networks, such as CNN, after the World Wildlife Fund released a major report two weeks ago. McLeod, Kitchener, Ontario, doctoral student in ecology and evolutionary biology, had hiked with local rangers to a remote stream in the jungle to conduct fieldwork for his dissertation, but the excitement started when he found two specimens of frogs. t Follow Kansan writer Ray Segebrecht at twitter.com/ rsegebrecht The species, called limonectes megastomias or the Khorat big misted frog, which measures 12 to 15 centimeters long, isn't the only fanged amphibian whose discovery has given a University affiliate newfound notoriety this fall.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN ADMINISTRATION Student athletes' discipline in question BY DANIEL JOHNSON djohnson@kansan.com Endless questions have been raised in the two weeks since KU basketball and football players came to blows on multiple occasions. But of all the questions, one will remain unanswered: Did the University punish the students involved? Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success, said her office was investigating potential violations of the Student Code of Conduct. "The University is really committed to making sure that due process is followed, that the rules and regulations are followed and that there is continuing work being invested to investigating all of the details," Roney said. "That's really where we are right now." The University lays out clear guidelines for student conduct in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Code. Article 22, section A1 of the code says a violation occurs when a student "threatens the physical health, welfare, or safety of another person," or "uses physical force in a manner that endangers the health, welfare or safety of another person." As reported by several sources, the incidents included multiple physical altercations between student athletes. Tyshawn Taylor admitted on a Facebook update that he injured his hand throwing a punch in the fight and one eye witness reported seeing one of the Morris twins push a football player down a set of stairs. Tom Cox, Shawnee graduate student and chair of the Student Senate's student rights committee, said he thought the incidents were obvious violations of the code. "If what the media has reported is true, I think the first altercation at the Burge Union violates the student code." Cox said. "I don't know the exact details of the altercation on Wescoe, but it was definitely a full disruption for the campus." According to a report from the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success, 12 cases violating the 22:A1 code were heard from 2005-2009. Of the 12, 11 were found responsible and the following sanctions resulted: one expulsion, two suspensions, six probations and one warning. One case remained pending. Violations of the conduct code are subject to University investigations by appointed authorities. Punishments can include written warnings, probation, community service, suspension and expulsion. "When I look at what we have done to judge conduct issues in the past, it seems like there is a good track record in terms of Roney said sanctions were determined on a case-by-case basis.

After the year "We've spent a lot of time with these people and sort of feel connected to these people and feel obligated to help," Pracht, EWB-KU president, said.

Bornholdt, St. Louis senior and vice president of EWB-KU, also went to help in Azacillo in December and June. He said he received as much from the Aymaran as they got from him. "I don't want to be stuck in an office working on a little piece of some project when I can hopefully be part of something bigger and be part of something that actually affects people's lives more so than just designing another building," she said. "They have a really good grasp on what's important to value and are very grateful for every day of life," he said. "I think that it's equally important that we bring them clean water as to bring back that sort of mentality to the United States."

However, under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, student education records, including disciplinary documentation, are protected from public disclosure. Josh Bender, third year law student and former chairman of the Student Senate's student rights committee, said the secrecy of the prosecutions made it hard to say whether students received equal hearings and appropriate sanctions. "There really no outside accountability of the process," Bender said. "It's hard for them to demonstrate that they are giving everyone a fair shake when they won't let us have access to the information." Many students insist the athletes be held to the same standards and consequences as all students. Brent Blazek, Lenexa senior, said although he thought student athletes deserved special treatment in several areas, codes of personal conduct needed to be equally enforced for all students. "They should take the fact that they are student-athletes out of the equation." Blazek said. Cox agreed, but added that the magnitude of the incidents called for heavy sanctions to be considered. "We're talking about multiple fights involving the same students," Cox said. "This isn't something that should be brushed aside by the University." Roney said her office tried to always look first toward educational sanctions. "We're not out to be a punitive operation," Roney said. "It's really about educating and working hard to make sure our students understand why the code is in place." - Edited by Betsy Cutcliff peace love jayhawk KU UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HOMECOMING 2009 Today's Homecoming Events Wednesday, Oct. 7 - Information Relaxation Celebration, Homecoming Information Fair, 10 a.m. -2 p.m., Strong Hall Lawn - Jayhawk Jingle Dress Rehearsal, 8 p.m., Woodruff Auditorium Tomorrow's Events - Chalk n' Rock, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Wescoe Beach - Homecoming Cookout, 6-8 p.m., Adams Alumni Center - Jayhawk Jingles, 7 p.m., Adams Alumni Center I Spy Clue I Spy... a white Indiana limestone building opened in 1977 and is one of five. *This building is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Good luck! *This building is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Good luck!

The question is whether his personal embarrassment will help fuel further professional triumph. How he deals with the situation at hand on Monday, and the nights ahead, could prove to be a defining chapter in his long TV career. With any luck, it could clinch his recent ratings victory in latenight TV. The intensely private Letterman surely didn't want to be swept up in this mawlstrom, which he dropped on "Late Show" viewers Thursday with his startling revelations of having sex with women on his staff a disclosure prompted by a $2 million blackmail threat against him. But the flood of attention was inevitable. For a celebrity the caliber of Hugh Grant, publicity — including speculation of career suicide — was certainly unavoidable 14 years ago, when he was arrested with a prostitute on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Very embarrassing. But then he retreated to NBC's "The Tonight Show" for image rabble. Gumby's is rolling back the clock on the BIG ass! frightened for image rebel.

Fast Delivery Open Late Since then, Letterman has reclaimed a ratings edge over new "Tonight" host Conan O'Brien. And now, Dave may have truly sealed the deal. With his masterful monologue last Thursday, he took control of a dicey situation. He promised his audience "a little story" and delivered in spades. He reminded everyone that he's a guy "motivated by nothing but guilt." He acknowledged his own past "creepy" behavior. Seated at his desk, he singlehandedly gave a TV performance to equal the Jay-and-Hugh moment.

It could be that Letterman's carefully calibrated act of self-disclosure has put him in the best spot possible to weather the situation — and even to milk it Beloved by viewers and critics for decades, he has abruptly freshened the vintage David Letterman brand. A humorist who mocks the world while holding it at arm's length, Letterman has demonstrated he still has the ability to surprise even fans who thought they knew him thoroughly.

Los Angeles City College's student-run newspaper, the Collegian, is an award-winning publication that has been in continuous print for 80 years. Its staff of approximately 30 students works tirelessly to publish high-quality content while adhering to other student organizations were cut only 15 percent. But LACC's president, Jamillah Moore, has made calculated attempts to hinder the students' right to a free press. She has tried to forbid a company working with the college from speaking to the student press; she has tried to pressure student reporters to sign releases for recording public meetings; she has violated California Open Meeting Laws by requesting that reporters identify themselves; and she has attempted to silence the Collegian by slashing its budget by 40 percent — when the budgets of of other student-run publications that hold to the same principles, standards and ethics. Adam Goldstein of the Student Press Law Center has called her "the single most repeat First Amendment violator in the nation." And now, Moore is attempting to move the Collegian under student services, where the administration would have the option to edit all content, monitor stories and determine the direction of the paper. An attack on free speech anywhere is an attack on free speech everywhere. That is why we the KANSAN'S OPINION undersigned, have come together to universally condemn the actions of Jamillah Moore and the actions of any administration that makes deliberate efforts to break the free speech of student publications. As students, we have been taught to expect an environment where freedom of speech will go uncontested. And as student journalists, we expect our administrations to understand that we strive to be an objective voice of reason But we also recognize that any publication that disturbs the comfort of the comfortable will be challenged. Student journalists at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of New Mexico and the University of Oregon, as well as countless untold others, have seen such assaults on their rights. This cannot stand. We, as student journalists, come together today with a single message: We will not tolerate administrations that, for their own benefit, try to silence the voice of the student free press. We will continue to rebuke those in power who hope to trounce our right to free speech, and we will not be silenced.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE GIVE EVERYBODY EQUAL RIGHTS... MARIAM SAFIAN Gay rights deserve more attention I'm taking part in the University's political science program in Washington D.C. next spring, and, as a long shot, I'm applying for an internship at the White House. The application prompts the potential intern to write a memo to the president about an issue of his or her choice, which got me thinking: What would I talk about if I actually had the president's ear for five or ten minutes? Health care reform? Climate change? Counter-cyclical fiscal stimulus? Anyone who has lived in Topeka during the last couple decades can recall with grudging familiarity the Day-Glo placards of the Rev. Fred Phelps and his ilk anointing the intersections of that aesthetically challenged city with that hatefully tedious prognostication: GOD HATES FAGS No, it would have to be the issue of gay rights, a policy issue that President Obama has all but neglected during his tenure in the White House. Driving home from high school each afternoon. I would pass the Phelps family compound, the Westboro Baptist Church, festooned with an enormous banner proclaiming "GODHATESAMERICA.COM" and flying the upside-down flags THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON I think the vast majority of people in Topeka are disgusted by the Bhelps' public displays of hate. All things considered, their spectacle provides a great service for the cause of gay rights. of America, Canada and Sweden, which, perversely, looks the same as it does right side up. I credit the Phelps family for my early awareness of the controversy surrounding homosexuality and gay rights. DANTHOMPSON Not until I was older did I realize that the truly destructive bigotry isn't displayed on any street corner in Topeka. I watched my gay and lesbian friends and family members struggle, as they still struggle, against this pervasive and pernicious bias. Rather, it is ingrained in the legal and social institutions that hold straight to be the norm and gay to be the aberration. If you're a gay kid growing up in America today, you know that you cannot be honest with others and serve in the military; you cannot be honest and still look forward to marriage and children and all of the benefits that straight kids like me have taken for granted. Meaningful equality can only come with the elimination of government policies that maintain and reinforce this bias. Right now, 22 of the 26 members of NATO allow gays to serve openly in the military. The Obama administration has done nothing to reform the "Don't ask, don't tell" law. Even more disappointing is the administration's active support for the Defense of Marriage Act, which, among other provisions, prevents the federal government from recognizing gay marriages in the states where it is legal. For now, the issue of gay marriage should be left up to the states; the federal government should at least remain neutral. It's a shame Obama has yet to make any meaningful changes to his predecessors' policies regarding gay rights. Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. HUMOR New 'service' makes relationships easy Dear new Loveproxy client, Congratulations, and thank you for choosing Loveproxy! We at Loveproxy know that you tried in the world of love. Nobody can blame you for the humiliation you've undergone on the shockingly few dates that you have managed to wrangle. It's not your fault. In the coming months, as you wait to be inserted into an exciting pre-established relationship full of love and mutual respect, you can relax and be confident that your days of loneliness are almost over. Well, it was your palm sweat, your flatulence and high-pitched intestinal churnings and your opinion that the state should perform mandatory hysterectomies on any female who can't name the band that sang "Radar Love." But still, she didn't need to Taser you in front of the entire restaurant just to make her point. Courtship and romance are painfully learned skills, and some people simply aren't psychologically or physiologically equipped to succeed. That's where Loveproxy comes in. Leaving your love life in the capable hands of Loveproxy will put you in the driver's seat, after three months to a year in the passenger seat. In the next week you will meet your assigned proxy. You will have several consultations with your proxy as you fill him in on the details of being you: hobbies, interests, criminal history, favorite movies and favorite ice cream flavors. (Your proxy and your sweetheart will be eating a lot of ice cream together). Your proxy will then become your faithful representative, wooing your date on your behalf, but without the debilitating awkwardness and unfortunate verbal tics that have kept you so alone for so many years. He will speak for you and make 400 WORDS TO FREEDOM BEN UNGLESBEE all those little relationship decisions within the basic framework of your personality, taking only some basic necessary artistic liberties with your identity. Because of last year's decision by the Ninth Circuit Court, your sweetheart-in-waiting must be made aware by the second date that the man she is consorting with is only a representative, not an actual partner himself. Your proxy will of course be taller, better looking and a more coherent conversationalist than you are, but this is only to maintain your beloved's interest in the relationship until we can turn it over to you. No more jumping through hoops to impress a date. Your proxy will do that for you. Then, once love and understanding are established, our proxies are trained to lower expectations ever-so gradually, so that the relationship transfer goes as smooth as possible. She also will need to sign a contract stating that she understands that the relationship will be transferred to a Loveproxy client (that's you!) after a specified length of time. Let's face it, the majority of relationships end up mired in mutual disillusionment, annoyance and open, unashed gas passing. And we know this is the part of a relationship where you thrive, and this is precisely where your proxy will手链 things over to you. You have a lot to offer in love; let us do the bidding for you.

Student loan program too important to cut LETTER TO THE EDITOR The other argument treated out by proponents of the bill is that it will help students by increasing Pell Grants. This again fails on a number of levels. First, far fewer students receive Pell Grants — about 10 percent of students at the University — meaning fewer people will see A bill that would eliminate the Stafford Loan program has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is set to go before the Senate. This means if you receive subsidized government loans — around a third of University of Kansas students — you will see your education costs increase by a few thousand dollars. The legislation is supposed to save the government $80 billion over the next ten years. But $70 billion of that is already promised to be spent elsewhere, meaning an actual saving of $1 billion a year, or 1/300 of a percent of the federal budget. Not exactly the kind of savings that will end the budget deficit any time soon. the benefits. Even if you hate politics (and justifiably so), odds are this legislation will affect you somehow. As someone who receives both Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, I can say that the loans have helped me far more. I would not be willing to pay thousands more in loans to see my grant go up a tiny bit. Moreover, the proposed increase is only $150 in the maximum amount of a Pell Grant, whereas the vast majority of recipients never receive the maximum amount anyway. If you've checked your tuition bills lately you know that, if you're lucky, $150 might buy you one book. I strongly encourage anyone interested in this bill to look into the student organization Higher Education for Lower Prices, write your Senator or talk to your friends about it. Do anything really. But do something, because as awful as politics often are, it's worse to simply complain about them and then do nothing to help solve the problem. Alexander King is a senior from Wichita.

Although Wolf Wendel wasn't involved in creating the policy and doesn't know its origins, she said she assumed the policy was "created to prevent faculty from profiting off their students." The University of Missouri has a similar policy that requires Missouri professors to donate proceeds from required textbooks to the school or non-profit entities. Missouri's policy is also self-enforced, said Christian Basi, Missouri spokesperson. The University's policy is online in the Policy Library, which means faculty members would have to first know the policy existed to find it online. Wolt Wendel said. Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska do not have policies regarding instructor-authorized materials. Most professors said they used their own textbooks in their classes to benefit the students. CLASS USE "I can talk to students about the content in a richer, more varied way than I could if I were using some one else's book," said Don Stull, anthropology professor. Stull co-authored "Slaughterhouse Blues," a book about the meat packing industry that sells for $39. He requires the book for both "Introduction to Cultural Anthropology" and for "Meat and Drink in America." Stull has 309 students in the introduction class this semester and had 18 in the Spring 2008 Meat and Drink course. Stull also said he was not aware of the policy but that he voluntarily donates a percentage of royalties to charity each year. Accounting professor Tim Shaftet, who requires three textbooks for "Financial Accounting I" said he updates his textbooks every year to keep his students ahead of the curve. According to the University Registrar, 577 students are enrolled in Shaftet's "Financial Accounting I" course this semester. Combined, the three books cost $64.40. Shaftel said he was aware of the policy and makes his donations, but wouldn't say how much he donated or to whom. Holmes requires "Psychology: The Science of Behavior and Mental Processes" for his "General Psychology" class, which has about 1,000 students, and his honors version of the class, which has about 50 students. He requires his book "Abnormal Psychology" for a class of the same title that had 374 students enrolled last semester. New copies of Holmes' books cost $35 and $88.75, respectively. Holmes said he uses his own textbooks because the books relate directly to his lectures. He also said he changed publishers four times to negotiate the lowest price, despite taking a hit on royalties. A similar The University Press of Kansas, a non-profit university press operation, publishes both paperback and hardback books, said director Fred Woodward. Although the University Press is not an actual textbook publisher, he said, the usual contract for a textbook gives the author 15 percent of the customer's price. HOW ROYALTIES WORK For example, a book selling for $100 at the KU Bookstore would earn the author $15 per book. The author's royalty would be reduced to between $7.50 and $10 for a paperback edition. Woodward said the royalties for a paperback book published at the University Press are between 5 percent and 8 percent of the net selling price. He said textbook stores usually receive a discount of 20 to 30 percent. A book that cost a student $20 would cost the bookstore $14 to $16. Royalties for one of those paperback books would be between 70 cents and $1.28. He said hardcover books receive royalties of 10 percent the net selling price. Authors do not receive royalties for purchases of used books. The University Press typically pays royalties as a percentage of the net selling price —the price the bookstore buys for the book as opposed to what students pay for the book, Woodward said. — Alv Van Dyke 2 FOR 1 BURGERS MONDAYS, ALL DAY 35¢ WINGS WEDNESDAYS 6-12 henry t's 3520 W SIXTH ST. 785-749-2999 ORDER ONLINE HENRYTS.COM introductory psychology textbook, he said, would cost $100 He also said between 10 and 12 other colleges and as many as 400,000 students used his textbook, Holmes' colleague, Stephen Ilardi, also uses Holmes' book for "Abnormal Psychology" "I would look foolish if I didn't use my own textbook in my class," Holmes said. Joe Shannon, Kansas City, Mo, junior, said he took Holmes "General Psychology" class last fall as a general education course. He said he didn't like the idea of professors requiring their books for class. "It's like paying twice for the same information," he said. "We are already paying so much per credit hour and now we have to pay the professor even more to buy his book." Shannon also said knowing the instructor wrote the materials limited discussion from other perspectives. Although few professors are aware of the policy, several said they donated to the University or other non profits anyway. DONATIONS Jennifer Weber, history professor, said she spent five years researching and writing "Copperheads," a book about the anti-war democrats during the Civil War. Weber started working at the University in 2005, a year before her book was published. But she said she didn't start using her book in her "The Civil War in America, 1828-1877" class until Spring 2009. "I hadn't assigned it specifically because I feel like there's kind of a conflict of interest there," she said. After she started assigning her book in class at the students' request, Weber said she still felt uncomfortable profiting from the sales, even though she said she earned about $1 per new book. To compensate. Weber said she estimates the proceeds from requiring her book and donates the sum each year to the Civil War Battlefield Trust. Weber said she was not aware of the University policy. "I'm glad to hear they have that policy," she said. "I've been a little bit troubled. I don't want to feel like I'm exploiting my students." — Edited by Samantha Foster KLM PAC JAKTHUEN David McLeod, left, Kitchener, Ontario and Rafe Brown, showcase their recent discoveries. McLeod named the species he discovered in Thailand limonectas megastomias and Brown named his discovery from the Philippines limonectes femeri. FROGS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) species he discovered in 1994. Brown said he found his "bullfrog-sized" specimens on Mindanao Island in the Phillippines. Both species, Brown said, are "sit-and-wait" predators who lunge at their prey and eat it whole. "They're big voracious predators," Brown said. "They pretty much eat anything that's smaller than them that comes around." Brown said the "fangs" were not actually teeth, but instead "prostheses" that the frogs develop as secondary sex characteristics. Brown said male fanged frogs developed more prominent prostheses than females. He speculated they most likely used their fangs for fighting against one another for mating rights. Although Brown said the species he discovered had not reached the same level of publicity outside the scientific community because its location was lesser known, the finding still had noteworthy significance. "It's all guesswork at this point." Brown said. "We know so little about their biology that we don't really know what they do with them at this point." "Iimagine finding an undiscovered species as big as a bullfrog in North America," Brown said. "That would be a very big deal. There's these places in parts of Asia that are so poorly known and so seldom visited by scientists that big large bodied animals have gone unnoticed by science for the last hundred years." The Natural History Museum has displayed video footage from the discovery McLeod made this fall both on its Web site and in its fourth floor lobby, Exhibits Director Bruce Scherting, said. Sherting said he hoped that by spring, the museum would update its Web site to display research by McLeod, Brown and other researchers on the biodiversity staff more prominently. He said he had also discussed plans to redesign the sixth floor to entirely dedicate it to showcasing their research. "I think most people actually don't realize that there is a research component to the museum." Schertling said. "There's kind of a mismatch between what's on exhibit and what actually goes on in the building." Both McLeod and Brown said they hoped to continue to contribute to the study of the limnoctes, or fanged, genus of frogs. Brown said this time, he wanted to extend the research to include genetic studies for frog species that visually could not be distinguished from one another. He said regardless of what he found, he would always remember the excitement of recognizing his first new species in the field. "You sort of say halleluah, and youre the person that gets to choose the scientific name." Brown said. "You have a moment of discovery." —Edited by Tim Burgess in the spotlight! wtf (we tweet faster) Ashley Siebert ROCKED her Sunflower shirt this week and won a $50 Sunflower Broadband Gift Certificate!

Weston White/KANSAS PAGE 1B Jayhawks headed to regionals Kansas players invited to play at tournament BY ANDREW POSCH aposch@kansan.com Four members of the Kansas women's tennis team have been selected to compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association central region tournament later this month in Norman, Okla. Vika Khanevskaya and sophomores Kate Morozova and Erin Wilbert were chosen by a regional committee to represent the University in the ITA and Wilson-sponsored event from Oct. 22 to 25. Freshmen Sara Lazarevic and Coach Amy Hall-Holt said that each team registered for the tournament automatically received bids for one singles player and one doubles team. Lazarevic and Morozova earned the doubles spot, while Lazarevic also won the singles position. The two remaining layhawk qualifiers relied on early-season results to get themselves in. The selection committee filled out the brackets with players that have excelled in past seasons or have shown impressive records so far this year. Wilbert, Khanevskaya and Morozova were selected to play singles after picking up three singles victories apiece at the team's home tournament Sept. 25-27. Wilbert and Khanevskaya were also named as a doubles team. eliminated before making it into the main draw of the bracket. "We were only expecting Sara and Kate to get in since they're our top players." Wilbert said. "But Vika and I were lucky enough to be chosen." Wilbert attended the tournament last fall, which was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, but was Morozova, last year's only other competitor on the current Kansas roster, advanced to the round of 32 before being defeated by McCall Jones of BYU. Assistant coach German Dalmagro said that about 25 teams will be represented in the tournament this year and the competition will be extremely tough. "There will be teams from the SEC, Big Ten and the Big 12," Dalmagro said. The other conferences represented will be the Atlantic 10, Conference USA, Great West, Missouri Valley, Ohio Valley, Southland, Sunbelt and the Summit League. The winners of the single-elimination tournament will continue on to nationals later in the fall. Kansas will also host its second home event of the season over the same weekend at First Serve in Lawrence. The four remaining team members - senior Kuni Dorn, junior Kate Goff and Maria Martinez and sophomore Alie Dzuba - will compete at home. Edited by Tim Burgess FOOTBALL Aggressive tactics keep kicker on the sidelines AMIL NE 34 BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com On fourth down, with a team deep inside its opponent's side of the field, the generally accepted action dictates that the offense trudges off the field while the kicker slowly jogs in to attempt a field goal. This season, junior Jacob Branstetter has faced that same situation and, at times, bucked the trend, opting to remain on the sideline instead of preparing to take the field. Freshman running back Bradley McDougald fights off a Southern Mississippi defender. The Jayhawks have been aggressive on fourth downs, opting for another chance for the offense to move the chains instead of kicking a field goal. "There are times when I'm on the sideline and it's fourth down and I don't even walk out there because I know the confidence we have in our offense," Branstetter said. "I know the ability they have. I watch these guys every day. That's just our team. That's how we're built." He says that in those select moments he knows what's coming; Mangino's decision to forego the field goal attempt in order to allow the offense one more chance at picking up a first down. So far this season, coach Mark Mangino has opted to leave his offense on the field for six fourth downs. In turn, the lajhayes have converted four of those Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/JaysonJenks. t "We don't know whether we're in fourth down territory but we trust ourselves enough that if you just give us one more down we think we can move the chains," junior offensive lineman Brad Thorson said. "I love it. I love the aggressive mentality." Kansas, by no means, makes an exceptionally high number of fourth down attempts. But only one team ranked in the top 30 of fourth down attempts has a higher conversion percentage than the Jayhawks. attempts into first downs. Essentially, the philosophy of going for it on fourth down parallels a major theme for Kansas' football program: playing aggressively. The Jayhawks, from coaches to players, consistently talk about attacking and dictating on both offense and defense. At times that means leaving the kicker on the sideline and the offense on the field. "You guys know that I like to go for fourth downs," Mangino + said. "I think to be an aggressive football team you have to do that." Mangino certainly picks his spots carefully, but even recently the results of Kansas' aggressive mentality on fourth down can be seen. converted on fourth down. The Golden Eagles failed on both of their fourth down attempts. Twice against Southern Mississippi two weeks ago Kansas SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B COMMENTARY Suspension will hurt individual, not team BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Well, you can't say it's been a boring offseason for Kansas basketball. Then there's the fighting. The media has covered every angle of that ordeal, but the long-term ramification is that guard Tyshawn Taylor, likely a starter, is missing four weeks of practice because of a dislocated thumb. First, we had the Henrys committed, then decommitted, then apprehensively recommitted and then, finally, fully committed. Xavier and I are our mini-Brett Fayres. Finally, junior Brady Morningstar's DWI on Saturday morning — what do we make of that? Actually, very little. He may never be a starter again. His suspension for a semester will not affect the team's success in March, but Morningstar should still be very upset with himself for making such a mistake. He may never be a starter again. Coach Bill Self always likes to give his new recruits a few games to adjust to college basketball before throwing them into a serious fire. With Morningstar suspended, however, Self will be forced to look farther down his bench for minutes. Certainly a lot depends on what happens in the weeks before the season starts, but Self will probably plug three or four players into Morningstar's starting spot and see how they fare. Freshmen Elijah Johnson and C.J. Henry and junior Tyrel Reed will all see time at off guard. If one of them snatches the spot, I can't see Morningstar coming back in January and grabbing the spot back I realize that Morningstar is one of Self's favorites because he plays tough defense and provides a shooting touch from beyond the three-point arc, a skill mostly missing from last year's team. He played the second-most minutes on the team and started every game except Senior Day. But this year's team will be significantly deeper than last year's, especially at guard. So while we might see a sloppier scrimmage at Late Night and less-than-impressive performances against mediocre non-conference programs with Morningstar on the sidelines, the games will be a good barometer of where the freshmen stand. If Morningstar can only get a bench role, that doesn't mean he won't be a huge factor in Kansas' success this season. Against zone defenses and teams that clamp down on Cole Aldrich, Self will look to Morningstar to drill a few trey balls. He is completely capable of doing that. Games in November and December are when we learn about the team. They matter little in tournament seeding or success. Morningstar's mistake will hurt Kansas in the short run. But in the long run, it's Morningstar who will be hurt most by his poor decision-making.

Pass the $# &@^ ball! Wait, why is he being subbed for at the goal line? These are just a few examples of the widespread abundance of fantasy football expletives. Every Sunday, fantasy footballers endure the most excruciating pains that are not only uncontrollable, but are also usually at least several states away from our clutches. We worship game logs and match ratings like hipsters and English teachers cherish "Catcher in the Rye." We study enough game film (SportsCenter, NFL Live, etc.) to rival Mark Mangino on a busy day. Finding the next great sleeper is not just a chore, it is a way of life. Yes, we fantasy (I cannot emphasize this word enough) footballers are pathetic. So why do we do it? Why, if 80 to 90 percent of our fantasy-filled Sundays are barraged with inflammations of the soul, do we maintain the misery? No one knows for sure, but my best guess would be the joy that the 10 to 20 percent of success brings. Again, pathetic. This weekend, with no previous knowledge or heads up, my brothers Alec, Troy and I all started the San Francisco 49ers defense against the lowly St. Louis Sheep — I mean Rams. One shutout and three defensive touchdowns later, the Rothman clan looks to be on its way to three victories. This creepy yet triumphant family moment made me wonder what this weekend in fantasy sports would have looked like with a few minor changes. Say Kyle Boller, a classic first BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com round quarterback bust, decided not to throw any passes across his body, across the field, into the hands of an angry Patrick Willis, and instead was still the backup to a healthy (never true) Marc Bulger. Would Troy be basking in the glorious sun rays of victory? What if Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk never suffered post-Super Bowl trauma, never left St. Louis, and it was them facing the 49ers defense instead of Boller and an uninspired Steven Jackson? Would my opponent still have posted an online message stating the following: SF D October 4 6:00 pm F*ck Chances are that if your team has been blessed with the super powers of Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew or Peyton Manning, you might not agree with this article. You might say, "Hey Max, stop right there! My team is nasty. Fantasy football is nothing but sun-kissed daisies and peach cobbler-esque joy!" Well skeptics, wait until the playoffs. Only one team can win. Meanwhile, I'll be under a tunnel or in some dark corner weeping, pondering what a 1-3 team could have been. Don't bother bringing tissues. I'll have more than enough. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS It starts with a delicately plucked stand-up bass. Then some nostalgia from the boyish voiced, self-proclaimed "abstract poet" Q-Tip: "Back in the days when I was a teenager, before I had status and before I had a pager." Then the drums kick. The paced storybook beginning of "Excursions" to A Tribe Called Quest's *The Low End Theory* lures the listener and never lets go. The rest of the 1991 classic is an honest bashing of the corruption of the rap game, an alternative answer for the right way to do it and a relaxed yet definite announcement of the Tribe's arrival. Following in the trailblazing footsteps of jazz-rap revolutionaries De La Soul, the Tribe perfectly meshed funky cadences with cooled-out rhymes and an unparalleled laid-back swagger. "Verses from the Abstract" features legend Ron Carter on his bass and Q-Tip jogging through his intellectual frame of mind. "The world is kind of cold and the rhythm is my blanket," spits the philosophical lyricist. "Check the Rime" flexes possibly the hardest beat on the album, with pounding horns and a jazzy, repetitive bass line. Then Q-Tip and Phife exchange reminiscent tales "back on the boulevard of Linden." "You on point Phife?" "All the time Tip!" The two MCs complement each other perfectly with symmetrical flows, THE MORNING BREW channeling future grouped acts like Jurassic 5, Black Star and The Roots. The album concludes with "Scenario," immediately heaving a b-boyish chorus at our ears, "Here we go you! Here we go yo! So what's so what's the scenario?" The pinnacle of the track is at the end, showcasing a youthful, freewheeling Busta Rhymes, trading verses with the polar opposite words of a chilled Q-Tip. Busta shouts, "Powerful impact, BOOM! from the cannon." Then he proceeds the insanity with hilarious nonsense. "Raowww, raowww like a dungeon dragon" and "Chuckity Choco the chocolate chicken!" With funky jams, refrigeratorcool rhymes and endless shoutouts. A Tribe Called Quest tossed guns, chains and the degradation of women out the window. The result is immaculate, founding the most fluid, jazzy album in hiphop history. t Edited by Tim Burgess Follow Max Rothman at twitter.com/maxrothman NFL Limbaugh, Checketts bid for Rams ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — The lowly Rams have someone who loves them. Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFLs longest losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007. In a statement, Limbaugh declined to discuss details, citing a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs, the investment firm hired by the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to review assets of her estate, including the NFL team. Limbaugh also declined to discuss other partners that might be involved in the bid, but said he and Checkketts would operate the team. "Dave Checketts and I have made a bid to buy the Rams and we are continuing the process," Limbaugh said. Forbes magazine has estimated the Rams franchise has a value of $929 million. Frontiere's children, Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, inherited 60 percent of the Rams when their mother died in January 2008. Billionaire Stan Kroenke of Columbia, Mo., owns the remaining 40 percent. It wasn't clear if the Limbaugh/Checketts bid was for 100 percent of the Rams or just "Our strategic review of our ownership of the Rams continues," Rosenbloom said in a statement released late Monday. "We will make an announcement upon the completion of the process." "Dave Checkets and I have made a bid to buy the Rams and we are continuing the process." the share owned by Rosenbloom and Rodriguez. Checkets and the Blues declined comment. Limbaugh is a native of Cape Giradeau, Mo., about 100 miles south of St. Louis. He's so popular among conservatives — fans NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined comment. Spokesman inner circles — laws of his show call themselves "dito-heads" — that he has been called by some the voice of the Republican Party. royals and is an avid sports fan. In 2003, Limbaugh worked briefly on ESPN's NFL pregame show, but resigned after saying Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. Limbaugh, who lives and works in Palm Beach, Fla., once worked for the Kansas City Checkets, 53, and his SCP Worldwide and Towerbrook Royals and is an avid sports fan. Capital Partners purchased the Blues in 2006 from Bill and Nancy Laurie. The Blues have been gradually rebuilt under his leadership and made the playoffs last season for the first time since 2004. Checketts first approached Rosenbloom in early 2009 about possibly buying the Rams. Eric Gelfand, a spokesman for Checketts, said in June that Checketts had put together a group consisting of local and outside investors. An NFL rule allows ownership of NFL teams and teams in other sports, but only if they are in the same market. That would be a problem if Kroenke wanted to become majority owner of the Rams because he owns the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche. Checkettts' company owns Utah's Real Salt Lake of the MLS. But an NFL spokesman has said the cross-ownership rule does not apply to the MLS.

Gabbett has thrown for 1,161 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season as a starter after backup on Chase Daniel last year. Gabbert's past commitment not an issue in Nebraska game ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — If not for a change of heart, Blaine Gabbert may still be starting in Thursday's Nebraska-Missouri game, just for the other team. Missouri's sophomore quarterback initially made a verbal commitment to play at Nebraska during his senior year at Parkway West High School in suburban St. Louis in 2007. Instead, Gabbert went to his home state team. He spent last season upchase Daniel. But weeks later, Gabbert changed his mind, citing uncertainty after the firing of athletic director Steve Pederson. So far, his first season as a starter has been a success. Gabbert has thrown for 1,161 yards and 11 touchdowns as Missouri (4-0) has moved up to No.24. The Cornhuskers (3-1) are doing fine, too, heading into the Thursday night Big 12-opening matchup in Columbia, Mo. Nebraska is ranked 21st. And Nebraska quarterback Zac Lee is ranked third in the conference in passing efficiency. Gabbert is ranked first in the Big 12 and fourth nationally. Gabbert, who is 6-feet-5, was heavily recruited out of high school. He was ranked as the No. 1 pro-style quarterback by recruiting Web site Rivals.com, and originally wanted to play under pass-happy Nebraska coach Bill Callahan. But Callahan's future became cloudy following the firing of Pederson, who hired him. Callahan was eventually fired, too, after a 5-7 season. Less than Less than three weeks after backing out of Nebraska, Gabbert committed to Missouri. He said that long-ago decision isn't even on his mind. "I've been impressed with his poise. He's a bright guy and he works real hard at it." "I'm not even focused on that at all," Gabbert said. "I'm a Mizzou tiger." "I haven't talked to him about it at all," Pinkel said. "I'm just glad he's here." adopted Gabbert's philosophy on the situation. Pinkel said the thing he's been most impressed with is the fact that Gabbert has yet to throw an interception. GARY PINKEL Missouri coach Missouri coach Gary Pinkel "I've been impressed with his poise," Pinkel said. "He's a bright guy and he works real hard at it." Gabbert will need that poise against a Nebraska defense that has allowed just 28 points so far. "It's about getting back and getting focused," Pinkel said as Missouri returns from a bye week. "Every experience for a quarterback helps them get better." After decades of dominating Missouri, Nebraska now finds itself seeking revenge for recent stinging defeats, including last season's 52-17 loss in Lincoln, Neb. MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS Phillies-Rockies pitching could be deciding factor PHILADELPHIA — All those big boppers and two hitterfriendly ballparks sure make the Phillies-Rockies series look like a slugfest. Not so fast. When Colorado swept Philadelphia in the 2007 NL division series, the teams combined for only 24 runs in three games. Now, each club boasts even stronger pitching. The Phillies have two former Cy Young Award winners and last year's World Series and NLCS MVP on their staff. The Rockies were the only team in the majors to have all five starters reach double-digit wins. "I think it's pretty well noted that it's a hitter's ballpark," Lee said. "It still doesn't mean you can't throw right-handers in and you can't come in on lefties because you're scared they're going to hit a home run. Obviously, you get in certain situations where you might not want to come in on a guy. But for the most part, I'm going to pitch the way I pitch, regardless." The defending World Series champions are sending reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee (14-13, 3.22 ERA with Indians and Phillies) to the mound for Game 1 on Wednesday. Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12, 3.47) gets the start for Colorado. "I look at our starting pitching as very good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "I think it's as good as any team in the National League, and I think that our starting pitching will play up big in this series."

"But that can't be our mentality. That's not Kansas. We play aggressive and we play smart. That's just how we are. I think that gives us a little edge sometimes." And that usually means the jayhawks rely on their run game, led by the offensive line, to pick up the first down. It's a situation the guys up front welcome. This season, as is the case with most teams, Kansas has tended to leave its offense on the field in short-yardage situations on fourth down. "It's kind of a challenge," freshman offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson said. "You get that extra motivation to dominate the guy across from you to get the extra yard or couple of yards to pick up the first down." Added Thorson: "It's really a win or lose situation 100 percent of the time. There's no draw there." Still, the question must be raised: What happens when the offense fails to convert a fourth down, essentially shifting the pressure onto the defense's shoulders? Jayson Jenks Members of the defense said the decision to go for it on fourth down is actually a positive sign Coach Mark Mangino didn't sound fully optimistic yesterday that senior running back Jake Sharp would return for Saturday's game against Iowa State. MANGINO NOT OPTIMISTIC ON SHARP RETURN Mangino said Sharp hasn't recovered as quickly as originally thought from an undisclosed injury suffered in the week leading up to Kansas game against Duke on Sept. 12. "I think we all thought he would get on the practice field today and we would cut him loose but, unfortunately, it has not developed that way," Mangino said. "I think by Thursday's practice, if he can go out and execute everything at full speed, we will play him." Edited by Betsy Cutcliff "However, if there is any sign that he is not 100 percent or that he cannot play to the best of his abilities, we will not play him." After Kansas' first two games, Sharp was leading the Big 12 with 227 rushing yards. But he managed just five carries against Duke. He never looked to be fully healthy and he didn't play against Southern Miss Sept. 26. Mangino said that Sharp will be evaluated throughout the week. Sharp's status is still unknown. you that coaches have faith that if they don't get it, you can stop them anyway. It can bring confidence to both sides of the ball." "We will consider using him in a limited role but, to be honest, someone would have to convince me that it is in his best interest." Mangino said. "I want it to where he can play the whole game or be a starter and maybe have a series off or take breaks here or there, but I want him to be completely functional." that reflects the coaching staff's confidence in the unit. "Going for it on fourth down as an offense can help you a lot and give you confidence that you can do it," senior safety Darrell Stuckey said. "As a defense, it tells BASEBALL BASEBALL De La Rosa to miss series against Colorado Rockies PHILADELPHIA — Sixteen-game winner Jorge De La Rosa will miss Colorado's first-round playoff series against Philadelphia because of an injured left groin The left-hander left his last start Saturday night after hurting himself. He was scheduled to test his groin in a bullpen session Tuesday, but that was canceled. "Our medical people had been working on him over the last couple days and his groin is about the same as it was when we had to remove him from the game Saturday night in Los Angeles," Rockies manager, Jim Tracy said. De La Rosa led the majors with 16 wins after June 1. He lost his first six decisions, and finished 16-9 with a 4.38 ERA. "I think that's definitely a viable possibility." Tracy said. If the Rockies beat the defending World Series champion Phillies, De La Rosa could return for the NLCS. Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12) will pitch Game 1 against the Phillies on Wednesday. Aaron Cook (11-6) is scheduled to start Game 2. Tracy gave Jason Hammel (10-8) the nod for Game 3 over All-Star Jason Marquis (15-13). "Jason Hammel has stepped up and has pitched extremely well during the course of the second half of the season," Tracy said. "He has been a guy that in big games against ones and twos in other club's rotations, has not only won games but has put us in a position to win some of these games that he was not involved in the decision." Marquis will pitch out of the bullpen in the first three games. The right-hander was 4-7 with a 4.56 ERA in the second half after going 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA in the first half. "I think the first two-thirds of the season were exceptional," Tracy said. "Right now he's not throwing the ball quite in the same manner. And to ignore a guy that has thrown the ball as well as Jason Hammel has thrown it since the All-Star break, I really feel is doing ourselves a disservice." - Associated Press Study your way!

MLB Dodgers' pitcher eager for playoffs THE WEF ASSOCIATED PRESS soo LOS ANGELES — Randy Wolf has seen a lot in his 11-year career, just never the playoffs. He's finally getting a chance in the stadium where he watched the Los Angeles Dodgers as a kid. Bu year, be," good H The 33-year-old lefthander proved to be the most consistent starter for the repeat NL. West champions, although he quickly rejects the label of staff ace. Ho comeence Big recor stagg age.1 17-28 "I almost despise that word," Wolf said Tuesday. "A guy like Chris Carpenter, you could consider him an ace. He's done it year in, year out. He's the guy who is almost a perennial top-five Cy Young voting guy." Ka trend 2-3-1 0-3 s i which Wolf describes himself in less lofty terms. Carpenter will start for the NI. Central champion St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 Wednesday night against Wolf. The 2005 Cy Young winner is a strong contender again this season, boasting a 17-4 record and a NI-best 2.24 FRA Th game home again Wolf proved durable this season, setting career highs with 34 starts and 214 1/3 innings just two years after lasting half a season for the Dodgers because of injury. "I've kept the team in the game," he said. "With this staff, we could have an ace on any given day. That's why I don't like to use that term. It's just try to pitch as well as you can, that's the key." MLE He ended the regular season strongly, going 6-1 in his final nine starts with a 2.51 ERA. Overall, he was 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA that was second on the staff to Clayton Kershaw's 2.79. ence ence or A or Te isn't mour ence' going of the Kershaw will start Game 2 on Thursday, while Adam Wainwright goes for the Cardinals. For son, ] The Dodgers open the series with two pitchers who lack playoff experience, between Wolf and Kershaw, a 21-year-old lefthander. Manager Joe Torre went with the two lefties because the Cardinals batted .234 against southpaws compared to .274 against righthanders. "Wolf's excited. You'll see him snatch the ball back from Russell Martin, and that's why he is who he is," Torre said. "Kershaw, we've spent the better part of two years trying to protect him and insulate him from this exposure because he's just a kid. Then you hand him the ball Saturday and say, 'Here, kid', and he comes back with a division title. He's pretty well not anybody to be concerned about." Wolf spent eight seasons with Philadelphia, enduring his share of runner-up finishes and playoff misses. Then he missed the Dodgers' playoff run last season, which ended in the NLCS against the Phillies. Wolf couldn't have predicted his success in the offseason, when he thought he would be returning to the Houston Astros. That didn't work out and the Dodgers stepped in to sign him for a second stint about a week before spring training began. "You obviously start feeling like there's some kind of a jinx even though I'm not a big believer in that, but luckily that went away," he said. A "I was happy to have that opportunity to come to LA again, and I felt that I owed them something" said Wolf, who grew up in the San Fernando Valley. "I felt I had some unfinished business." He got off to a rocky beginning with a 5-6 record, a 3.55 ERA and 13 no-decisions in his first 24 starts. Coincidentally, his luck seemed to turn around the All-Star break when he switched his jersey from No. 21 to 43, and won that day. "I always wanted No. 43. It was the number I had in Philly for a long time." Wolf said.

Det lead in loaded 1 1 , THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2009 SPORTS 5B SOCCER Home field advantage proves true BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com 10 There's a popular maxim in sports that claims, "It's better to be lucky than good." Senior forward Monica Dolinsky battles with a South Dakota defender during the Jayhawk invitational on Sept. 20. Teams in the Big 12 have a combined home winning percentage of .718. But for Big 12 soccer teams this year, a more accurate theme might be, "It's better to be at home than good." Home-field advantage has become a huge factor in the conference this year. Big 12 teams have a combined record of 51-12-8 at home — a staggering .718 winning percentage. In away games, their record is 17-28-14, a percentage of .288. Kansas is no exception to this trend. The team is 4-0 at home but 2-3-1 in away games, including an 0-3 start to conference play, all of which were played away. Jerry Wang/KANSAN The Jayhawks completed a fourgame road streak and now return home for two games this weekend against Texas Tech and Colorado. "The difference between us winning a game or A&M winning or Texas winning isn't going to be some huge, insurmountable difference," coach Mark Francis said. "It's going to be little things, and playing at home is one of those little things." For the remainder of this season, home games will be crucial t Follow Kansan writer Joel Petterson at twitter.com/ j_petter. for Kansas. Five of their seven remaining conference games will be played in Lawrence, and with the team's early conference losses, winning at home will be absolutely necessary to achieve the team's goals. "The biggest thing is just trying to represent our school at home." "We kind of put ourselves in a situation where we don't really have a choice," Francis said. "If we're going to have any chance of winning the conference or going to the NCAA tournament, we've got to win our home games." Although a wide range of factors contribute to home field advantage, Kansas players say traveling has the biggest effect. On weekends with away games, the team leaves early Thursday ESTELLE JOHNSON Senior defender morning, plays Friday evening, travels again on Saturday, plays on Sunday, and then returns home Sunday evening. "It wears you out, especially when you go a couple weeks in a row like we just did," senior defender Estelle Johnson said. "I'll like you don't even have time to breathe or sleep." The combined effects of traveling all day, doing schoolwork on the road, and being in an unfamiliar environment eventually affect the team's on-field performance. "They're just tired. The travel wears you out," Francis said. "It just takes a toll eventually." However, it isn't just the travel that is giving home teams an edge. Players said having games in a familiar environment in front of a home crowd also gave them extra motivation on the field. Kansas has also experienced some harsh treatment at away games, especially within the Big 12. Johnson said Oklahoma State fans are the most hostile in the conference. "They do their research on us and say things about our parents and stuff," Johnson said. While the different environment can be disorienting, freshman midfielder Shelby Williamson said jeers from the crowd also provide extra motivation for her. "I like it, because it makes me play better and kind of shuts them up," Williamson said. Fortunately for the team, the majority of its remaining games will be played on its home field in front of its own fans. Johnson said the positive home crowd provides extra motivation. "Coach always gets us riled up, like this is our turf and no one comes and wins on our turf," she said. "The biggest thing is just trying to represent our school at home." MLB Edited by Abby Olcese After 12 innings, Twins win AL Central 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEPOLIS — Baseball's only real pennant race needed an extra game and extra innings to finish off a thriller that got better with every pitch. Detroit Tigers catcher Gerald Laird tags out Minnesota Twins *Alex Castilla* during the 10th inning in Minneapolis, during a teebreak to decide the American League Central team. The Tigers are only one of three teams since 1910 to have baked a three-team lead with four games, **betted**. ASSOCIATED PRESS Alexi Casilla singled home the winning run with one out in the 12th and the Minnesota Twins rallied past Detroit 6-5 in the AL Central tiebreaker Tuesday night, completing a colossal collapse for the Tigers. "This is the most unbelievable game I've ever played or seen," Twins shortstop Orlando Cabrera said. As Carlos Gomez streaked home from second with the winning run — well ahead of a late throw from right field — Homer Hankies spiraled around the Metrodome. The Twins celebrated and scrambled — they had 21 hours to get ready for Game 1 of the AL playoffs at Yankee Stadium against New York ace CC Sabatia. The Tigers became the first team in major league history to blow a three-game lead with four games left. The Twins overcame a seven-game gap in the final month, went 17-4 to pull even on the final weekend and won their fifth division title in eight years. Both team had their chances to end it earlier, and each club scored in the 10th. Casilla was thrown out at the plate to end that inning by left fielder Ryan Raburn after tagging up. Detroit thought it had taken the lead in the 12th. But with the bases loaded, the plate umpire Randy Marsh ruled that Brandon Inge was not hit by a pitch by Bobby Keppel. The replay appeared to show the pitch grazing Inge's billowing uniform. It was the first AL tiebreaker to go to extra innings, and made up for Minnesota's disappointment last October when it lost 1-0 in Chicago to the White Sox in an AL Central tiebreaker. Had the Twins lost, it would've been the final baseball game at the Metrodome. Instead, the Twins get the Yankees — New York was 7-0 against Minnesota this season. "We're not going to have to face questions like 'Can you beat them?' like we've had to answer during A day after Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers at the Dome — "Monday Night Football" is what delayed this tiebreaker for a day — the Twins pulled off a Tuesday Night Stummer. the course of the year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Once the playoffs start though, it's a new series and we know the importance of each game. You can pretty much throw everything else out the window." Tigers reliever Fernando Rodney (2-5) worked his longest appearance of the season, getting the last two outs of the ninth. He gave up a single to Gomez to start the 12th, and the speedy center fielder — who came in for defense late in the game — moved up on a groundout. He came racing around for the winning run when Casilla's single made it through the right side of the infield. The Twins rushed out of the dugout in celebration even before Gomez reached the plate. Their comeback from a huge gap with 20 to play was complete. According to sports researcher STATS LLC, only three teams since 1901 have blown a three-game lead in the standings with four games left. WOMEN'S GOLF Jayhawks place in top 10 at rival invitational For the second straight week, the Kansas Jayhawks played in a major rival's golf tournament. Last week the Jayhawks played in Kansas State's tournament and this week the host school was Missouri. This time, the Jayhawks grabbed another top ten finish as they secured tenth place on Tuesday afternoon in Columbia, Mo., with a score of 935. Wisconsin shot a three round total of 908, getting first place in the tournament. Missouri took third, with a recorded a score of 913. Kansas' top scorer was Emily Powers, Quincy, III., senior, who placed in tie for 24th individually with a total of 231 strokes for the three round tournament. Behind Powers were Meghan Gockel, Dallas senior and Grace Thiry, Victoria, Australia who both shot a three round total of 235 to finish tied for 38th place. Meghna Bal, New Delhi, India, junior shot a 74 in the final round, which was the top score for Kansas throughout the three rounds. Next week, Kansas will make a long trip to Las Cruces, N.M., to compete in the Price's Give 'Em Few Invitational Oct. 12-14.

Last season left Kansas softball fans not knowing where the team was heading. The team's future was questionable until coach Megan Smith showed up with answers. UP NEXT FOR THE JAYHAWKS KU Fall Invitational Oct. 10-11 Arrochoa Ballpark, Lawrence Softball coach Megan Smith is raising the level of performance for Kansas softball during her first season here. Smith is pushing the Jayhawks to work hard and push themselves to achieve their full potential as players so the team can garner more respect from its opponents. Smith said the team is working hard to prepare for this weekend's tournament. Johnson County CC 2 p.m., Oct.10 Butler County CC 4 p.m., Oct. 10 Johnson County CC 11 a.m., Oct. 11 Smith filled the head coaching position after Tracy Bunge, 13-year head coach for Kansas softball, left this summer. Smith was a coach at North Carolina and an assistant at LSU before she came to Kansas. She has played softball since she was seven years old, so softball has always been a part of her life. She said her goal was to coach at the highest level possible and when the job for Kansas came along she took it. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Cowley County CC 1 p.m., Oct.11 "Kansas really spoke to me because it's the kind of school that really fits me," Smith said. "It's strong academically and athletically." But even Smith didn't know when she was in school that coaching was what she would be doing as her career. Smith gave pitching lessons in high school and helped with softball clinics in college, which gave her the idea that coaching might be something she was good at. Although she was originally a nutrition major in college, she knew that coaching was where she belonged after watching her college coach. Smith coached for "some of the best in the business" at LSU and she helped develop the softball programs at Western Carolina, Charlotte and her alma mater, North Carolina. Her winning résumé as a coach, including three NCAA tournament appearances at LSU, brings experience and knowledge to Kansas. Smith also brought high expectations for her new players both on and off the field. Junior pitcher Allie Clark said that Smith's coaching philosophy and style were working well with the team thus far. Clark described Smith as a hands-on coach who gets into drills and makes sure every player is doing them right. It's a learning process right now for the team, but Clark said everyone is on the same page. Clark said Smith has raised the level of performance for Kansas ranging from where team members put their bags to making sure their shoes are cleaned on game day. Clark said the team has become more disciplined in every aspect of practice and they are ready to get out and play. "We expect more from ourselves," Clark said. "We believe we can win the Big 12 and possibly go further than that." Coach Smith's high standards and discipline answered the softball team's coaching dilemma but there are still questions about how they will do in an actual game. Smith and the coaching staff have stepped in to answer those questions. Assistant coach Christi Musser said that the coaching staff was looking for a theme to motivate the players during fall practice and that the questions everyone was asking were themselves the answer. The Kansas dugout is filled with The Kansas dugout question marks, one for each player and the team as whole, that are waiting to be erased. Each player has the opportunity through hard work during practice and pushing themselves — to earn the right to cover their question mark. Musser said that the coaching staff and returning players were not sure how Smith would run the team and how they would do this season so they used the question mark as a symbol of what they were working toward as a program. "We believe we can win the Big 12 and possibly go further than that." "Bringing in someone new just ALLIE CLARK Junior pitcher With Smith at the helm, the players training hard and the rest of the coaching staff motivating and guiding the team, Kansas played in its first tournament last weekend. The layhawks answered the doubts that opponents and fans may have had by beating Central Missouri 7-6 and Washburn 7-0. Three players had home runs, including a grand slam from senior Amanda Jobe. Kansas fell to Emporia State 6-5 over the weekend, but the team saw strong performances from freshmen such as Alex Jones, who pitched the first four innings in the victory over Central Missouri, and from returning players such as junior Liz Kocon, who had a solo home run against Emporia State. In a press release after the game, Smith said it was good to see the players get some live action against an opponent. "We will get right back to work this week to get ready for another successful tournament this weekend," Smith said. Each day the softball team will have to work hard to answer the questions left after last season's roller coaster performance. Smith has brought answers for the team, but she said the players would have to make it happen themselves if they want to get rid of the doubt from opponents. Junior shortstop Kolby Fesmire summed up what the team is hoping for from their opponents and themselves. "Every single time that Kansas softball is brought up it should be, 'We need to watch out, they're a really good team,'" Fessmie said.

Aldebaran Patrons smoke a variety of flavored shisha at the Hookah House Tuesday night in Lawrence. Although hookah smoke has fewer compounds than cigarette smoke, studies have found hookah smoking to be as if not more harmful than cigarettes, leading some to believe hookah leisolation is on the horizon. Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN Hookah harmful; despite myths BY ALY VAN DYKE avandyke@kansan.com Hani Chahine walks the entire length of the Hookah House which he co-owns, in a quick eight seconds. He slows only to load a hookah with burning coals. t Once his customers are happy and smoking from their hookahs, Chahine, Tripoli, Lebanon, junior, steps outside a smoke filled room to have a cigarette. Chahine can't smoke the cigarette inside because it's against Lawrence's indoor smoking ordinance, which passed in 2004. He and his customers can continue to puff from their hookahs inside Follow Kansan writer Aly Van Dyke at twitter. com/alyvandyke because the lounge qualifies as a retail tobacco store. Similar exemptions have kept hookah lounges throughout the country from feeling the heat of recent tobacco legislation and smoking bans. But with the Food and Drug Administration taking a harder look at marketing ploys to attract younger tobacco smokers and as more studies confirm the negative health effects of hookah smoking, some say hookah could be the next tobacco product put on burn notice. "I believe that is something that could very well be on the agenda of the Food and Drug Administration," Mary Jayne Hellebust, executive director of the Tobacco Free Kansas Coalition, said. "They have the power to eliminate flavors in those kind of products." Britain and France already have laws prohibiting hookah bars under indoor smoking bans. Several states and cities such as Seattle and Boston, have considered passing similar bans to include hookah or they have passed other restrictions, such as preventing hookah lounges from serving food. Chahine said he wasn't worried about bans prohibiting hookah because hookah is more than tradition than cheap thrills. He said the 18-year-old age limit helped prevent younger people from smoking. But that doesn't mean younger people aren't smoking at home; the Hookah House, 730 Massachusetts Street, and other retail stores throughout Lawrence sell hookahs and shisha, the flavored tobacco smoked by a hookah, for personal use.

Luther, Troy sophomore, was sitting in a Western Civilization class in Wescoe Hall last month with his cell phone in his pocket. An expected phone call from the French Foundation, an organization that offered him a scholarship, turned into a missed call and a voice mail. Representatives from the organization called during class but no signal in the concrete building meant no ring. Luther tried to return the call but for five days couldn't reach the office. "I kept calling and I couldn't get a hold of them, so I had to wait for the weekend to go by until they were back in the office," Luther said. "I got kind of nervous. I was worried about it. I was in a dead zone." After nearly a week of anticipation, Luther finally connected with the foundation and secured his scholarship. As phone carriers work to install additional cellular capacity service on campus, a potential new antenna plan could make missed calls and campus dead zones vanish. The University is still finishing its installation of Wi-Fi networks. Talks are ongoing about a possible new system that distributes more powerful cell phone signals to the far corners on campus, such as the basement of Malott Hall. The Distributed Antenna System would place brand new antennas all over campus and would be connected to a fiber-optic cable network to antennas that connect to cell phone networks. Chuck Crawford, director of IT, enterprise, infrastructure and security, said the University is talking with a third-party company to develop a "carrier-neutral" approach, where carriers would buy into the network and provide a multi-company solution on campus. The system would be at no cost to the University because the carriers would pay for it. No contracts have been signed yet. "This is a crucial need for us enhancing our communications capabilities with students," Crawford said. Andy Haverkamp, Hoyt junior and technology director for Student Senate, said he thought cellular data was the way of the future. "I believe within the next two or three years you're going to see less and less students with laptops and more and more students with smart phones such as the Blackberry, the iPhone, which can do all of their note-taking, e-mail, messaging, data transfer," Haverkamp said.

Associated Press KUlure Mountain Dewds Contributed photo kkwon@kansan.com BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com CORRECTION Pig roasts, box derby races and QuikTrip birthday parties; nothing is out of the question for the Mountain Dewds. Chaz Steele (left) and Matthew Shaw stand in front of one of the Mountain Dew houses on Tennessee Street. "Our goal is to promote awareness," Shaw said. It all started in 2003 with a group of guys road tripping to Arizona. They stopped at a gas station and found an old box of T-shirts outside. The discovery of the shirts, which read "Mountain Dewds," gave the group its namesake. "We don't have anything to do with mountains or the drink Mountain Dew," Matthew Shaw, Hiedelberg, Germany, senior, said. The Mountain Dewds consist of 21 male KU students who live together in two houses on Tennessee Street. In "Dewdville" the roommates, who are Christian, try to live by example by throwing non-alcoholic events and inviting people from the Lawrence community. "We're not against drinking," Shaw said, "We just think there's other, more awesome thieves to do." The Dewds throw four major events a year including a date night, Halloween party, ramp party, which involves a barbecue and biking off ramps into Potter Lake, and Keith Day, when they hand out free kool-aid on campus. Keith, a former roommate from 2004, was constantly busy with school and work and rarely had time to spend with the guys. The Dewds wanted to come up with a way to show Keith he was still an important member of the group. "What better way to hang out with him than to throw him his own holiday?" Shaw asked. There are photos of Keith throughout the house and one outside that can be seen from the street. The Dewds' Halloween party brought in around 400 people last year. Complete with lasers, a fog machine and a DJ, it's their biggest event of the year. But Shaw said friends are always stopping by the houses to hang out. He said you don't have to live in Dewdville to be a Dewd. "It's really anyone that takes part in the community and promotes our ideals," Shaw said. Living in Dewdville means being a part of a group. While the Mountain Dewd houses may be compared to a fraternity or a ministry house, Shaw said they are neither. "It's unique," Shaw said. "We're not a frat because we stand for different things than they do; but we're also not what a ministry does because we hate how strict some Christians can be." That attitude is not the only thing that makes these houses stand out. Inside, visitors find "stadium" seating in the living room, a McDonald's drive-thru sign near the door, a snake named Delilah and their own rendition of a Blockbuster DVD rental system. "There'a a culture associated with it, there's alumni, there's tradition," Shaw said. And the Mountain Dewd mission is simple. "Our goal is to promote awesomeness." Shaw said.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2009 NEWS 3A SMOKE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) our bodies are meant to do, but I don't feel like hookah is as bad as cigarettes." A study conducted in 1991 found that some shisha smoke contains significantly fewer chemicals than cigarette smoke - 142 compounds compared to 4,700. However, given the prolonged exposure to smoke in a usual hookah session, experts have warned that hookah can be as, if not more, dangerous than cigarettes. Hellebust said every type of tobacco product, including vela can be dangerous. Several studies have confirmed the dangers of hookah smoking: "The best thing to do with Horwitz said his parents would stop paying for college if he started smoking cigarettes or cigars, and he has dutifully obliged. He said they were all right with the hookah mainly because his father is Jewish and because he told them health risks depended on the coal and tobacco used. tobacco is literally to never get started," Hellebust said. "If you have started, do your best to quit." Horwitz was right, to an extent. Herbal shisha, which claims to be free of tobacco, nicotine and tar, does exist. However, studies have not yet determined whether health risks from these products are reduced. Regardless of what is in the shisha, the coal used to burn it poses health risks of its own. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the hookah charcoal "increases the health risks by producing high levels of carbon monoxide, metals, and cancer-causing chemicals" Another myth about hookah smoke is that the water in the pipe removes harmful chemicals, said Ken Sarber, health educator with Student Health Services at Watkins Memorial. On that point the CDC says, "Even after it has passed through water, the smoke produced by a hookah contains high levels of toxic compounds." Chahine said the shisha made at the Hookah House contains tobacco and a small amount of nicotine. He said he tried to encourage people not to smoke every day and to not stay more than an hour and half for one sitting. He also said he was aware hookah could pose health effects if people spent too long smoking, but said the same principle goes for everything else, be it alcohol or chocolate. "Everything has a limit," he said. "Anything you abuse will damage your health." — Edited by Alicia Banister DANGERS OF HOOKAH SMOKING Several studies have confirmed the dangers of hookah smoking: A 1997 study found that a 45- to 60-minute session of hookah exposed a smoker to an amount of nicotine equivalent to chain smoking 15 cigarettes. - According to a 2005 World Health Organization release, a person inhales between 100 and 200 times the smoke volume in a typical one-hour hookah session than from a single cigarette. A study published in 2003 found that hookah smoke contains higher quantities of toxic heavy metals, such as arsenic, nickel and lead, compared to cigarette smoke. Studies throughout the world during the past 17 years have found evidence linking hookah smoking use to several health issues, ranging from various cancers to herpes. PHONES (CONTINUED FROM 1A) walked into each floor of every building on campus with the potential vendor. But he said the carriers would ultimately need to buy into the several-million-dollar project to make this work. "The University has no business in the carrier business" Crawford said. "So getting them to buy this themselves and build this themselves is crucial to this moving forward. They have to opt in and buy it." Crawford said the office was close to having an initial design completed, as they continued the campus walk-throughs. He said the dead spots on campus were obvious to students. "Wescoe Hall: Ouch," Crawford said. "Strong Hall is a bunker. A lot of these buildings are bunkers on campus." IMPORTANCE OF CONNECTIVITY The antennas would go in places such as shingles on roofs, bushes and light posts, Crawford said. The University would also receive revenue from the possible project and be able to use the fiber-optic cable for additional data services. "It's always been bad down here," Goddard said. Darci Goddard, Logan senior, sat for lunch in the concrete-heavy Underground in Wesco Hall last week. With no Verizon Wireless service, she used her phone as a paperweight. Linzy Kirkpatrick, Wichita senior, was able to send text messages and use the Internet on her Sprint phone in the Underground, but no phone calls. Sarah VanGorden, Dallas freshman, said she never had a connectivity problem with her iPhone back home. Now, she doesn't get AT&T Inc. network service in the Underground, so she eats lunch outside and only surfs the Web. Cell phone companies have already taken notice and increased signal capacity on campus. Marisa Giller, regional director of corporate communications for AT&T Inc. in Kansas and Missouri, said the company increased voice communication capacity last week, targeted for the northeast end of campus. She said additional upgrades to multimedia capacity, such as Internet, would be coming in the next few weeks. Brenda Hill, media contact for Verizon Wireless in Kansas and Missouri, said her company had boosted its latest-generation wireless network near campus as recently as September. But she said getting a signal inside of buildings was a challenge for all providers. "More and more people are using data," Hill said. "They're using their phones for more than voice calls. And you've got to have a faster signal to handle all those data speeds. Students are heavy users of data." WI-FI ALMOST COMPLETE Students who can't receive signals on their smart phones on campus may be able to switch to the University's Wi-Fi option for the time being. That network is almost done. Karen Nicholas, communications and public relations manager for KU Information Technology, said Student Senate had given it a list of buildings to complete its coverage of Wi-Fi on campus. They include the atrium area of Strong Hall, Smith Hall and the Burge and Kansas Unions. Crawford said that work was nearly completed. But the $5 wireless implementation fee that students pay is set to expire at the end of this year. Crawford said technology had already changed so quickly that keeping up was difficult. Once the Wi-Fi network on campus is finished, there's no clear plan to fund ongoing maintenance of the network. "One of the problems with implementing a huge infrastructure like wireless is the ongoing maintenance," Crawford said. WI-FI COMING SOON: Common areas targeted by Student Senate for Wi-Fi implementation. All of these projects are under way. All of the libraries Burge and Kansas Unions Burge and Kansas Unions Dole Institute of Politics Strong Hail (atrium area) Dole Human Development Center Smith Hall Templin Hall — KU Visitor's Center Visitor's Center Information Technology He also said there were no recurring funds that allow for updates to these new technologies. He said the campus needs to figure out a funding model. Haverkamp said Student Senate had not devised a plan to fund ongoing maintenance. Crawford said his office would be making recommendations on the maintenance issue to University administrators. He said otherwise the University would continue to chase outdated technology "It's like 'open the floodgates, shut it, it gets outdated, open the floodgates, shut it, it gets outdated,' Crawford said. "We need a nice sustainable model." Edited by Anna Kathagnarath MACBETH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ invited back for another directing stint at the University. The production will also feature new original music by award-winning New York composer Fabian Obispo. "The KU students have been brilliant, and I rarely use that term," Thompson said. "The audiences are going to find that they will hear and understand the words largely because you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves. I think they'll have a great time." "He has written a great score," Thompson said. "In between each scene there is music that I feel propels the play and is the heartbeat of the production." "Macbeth" has received a lot of input from guest artists. Many members of the production staff, however, are from the area. X PUBLIC AUCTION EX-US CUSTOMS SEIZURE U.S.A. Jeremy Riggs, a 2009 KU graduate, is fight director for the play. He has been working with the actors to choreograph and make the major fight scenes and other "violent acts" look realistic and as if they belong in certain spots. "The challenging part is interpreting the text and finding the places where we can solidify what is being said with the action we bring onto the stage," Riggs said. "It kind of gives me a headache just doing it." Salamat said of playing the part of Macbeth. "He's a walking contradiction. Every line he says is contradicted by the next. It's difficult, but it's also kind of fun." "Macbeth" is said to be Shakespeare's most tragic play. It was written in the early 1600s and was supposedly first performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London in 1611. Salamat said since auditions, the practices have been going practically nonstop. He said he and Buchanan were ready to perform what they have been rehearsing for weeks now.

Smith's FBI records, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, say the agency investigated Smith in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep Smith from collecting his father's oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. The younger Marshall has since died. The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II's estate.

There is no indication how authorities became aware of the alleged scheme, but agents interviewed Smith on July 3,2000. of her involvement in such a plot is detailed. When told why she was being questioned, "Smith began crying and denied ever making such plans," a report said. An April 26, 2001, letter to the FBI from Sally Meloch, an assistant U.S. attorney, said she reviewed the reports but "determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce Marshall." "Smith adamantly denied ever contemplating such a crime," an agent wrote, and prosecutors eventually agreed the case could not go forward. Reached at her Los Angeles office on Tuesday, Meloch didn't recall the case, but said, "Any investigations that we did not proceed with, we couldn't comment on anyway." An attorney for Smith's estate, Kent Richland, was surprised by the allegations. "I have not heard anything about that," he said. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

EDITORIAL BOARD Raising Kansas tobacco tax could increase health, decrease deficit With Kansas potentially facing another budget deficit in 2010. Gov Photo illumination by Wetest White/KAARSH SANLE PHOTOHOUSE "Governor Parkinson has said that he supports a meaningful statewide smoking ban," said Beth Martino, press secretary for Governor Parkinson. "He also has said that if we are facing a bleak budget picture, a cigarette tax is something for the state to carefully evaluate." Currently the tobacco tax in Kansas rests at 79 cents — well below the national average of $1.34. Kansas has the 35th lowest tax in the nation. The last time Kansas the nation. The last time raised the tobacco tax was in 2002, when the tax increased from 24 cents to 79 cents. According to state budget reports, the tax added $81 million to state revenue. However, bringing in revenue would not be the only potential gain from a tobacco tax. Cigarette companies and other critics often say that tobacco taxes decrease state revenue by forcing too many smokers to quit. Though it's true revenue from the 2002 tax hike has dropped by 26 percent during the last eight years, it is still bringing in double the revenue it did before the increase. Every state that has increased tobacco taxes has seen an increase in revenue, according to the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. "If it gets too expensive I'd definitely have to quit," Jacob Holliday, Lawrence freshman, said. from multiple cigarette companies confirms the simple fact that higher tobacco taxes means fewer people smoking. Internal documents from tobacco lawsuits posted on tobaccorefreaks.org "A high cigarette price, more than any other cigarette attribute, has KANSAN'S OPINION the most dramatic impact on the share of the quitting population." Philip Morris executive. Claude Schwab recorded in an internal business A frequent criticism of tobacco taxes is that the taxes are regressive and hurt low-income smokers more, which is an argument that ignores the obvious. document. "There is nothing more regressive than the economically disadvantaged having to bear all of the health problems caused by smoking," said Mary Jayne Hellebust, executive director of Tobacco Free Kansas. According to the Centers for Disease Control, low-income smokers are also more likely to quit than higher-income smokers when tobacco taxes are raised. Critics also say a problem this tax might face comes from Missouri, which has the second lowest tobacco tax in the nation at only 17 cents a pack. Though it's true some smokers already cross the border for cheaper cigarettes and more almost certainly will if the tax is raised, it is still a fact that no state has ever seen revenue drop when increasing tobacco taxes, even when accounting for cross border smuggling. Missouri's tax may also be partly to blame for the state having the fourth highest percentage of smokers, which isn't a model Kansas should be trying to follow. Raising the tobacco tax in Kansas would be a win-win situation: a smaller deficit and healthier citizens. Students and the community should contact the governor's office to show support for this new proposal.

MIXTAPE DOWNLOADS NEW MIXTAPE FREE DO IT HERE ROSE 1 BEN COLDHAM Lost art of album making You may be saying to yourself that buying CDs from the store is still perfectly possible, and indeed this does still happen daily. Even so, the concept of the tangible hip-hop album has been discarded for the most part in today's world where music is demanded instantaneously and quantity is valued over quality. I remember a simpler time when listening to hip-hop was more of a deliberate experience than it is today. One would embark on an excursion to the store, buy a rapper's CD — or cassette tape for the veterans out there — return home and listen to the album the whole way through, track by track. The Internet now rules the hip-hop world, equipping fans with a seemingly infinite stream of original and remixed material. Because of the emergence of online file sharing, mixtapes have dominated the hip-hop landscape in recent years since they are free and easy to download. A mixtape is a sort of mini album that may involve the artist rhyming over pre-existing beats, rhyming over exclusively original production or a combination of the two. Mixtapes have been blowing up THOUGHTS FROM A HIP- HOP HEAD BEN COLDHAM The unfortunate result of the mixtape invasion has been a steady dilution of talent and truly good music in the hip-hop pool. Many artists seem to be so concerned with the amount of material they release that they have forgotten about taking the necessary time to craft an actual album, one that's original in content and consistent in quality. for years now, with every rapper from Lil Wayne to that guy at your local barbershop releasing tapes in an attempt to maximize the exposure to their music. Though there have been plenty of respectable mixtapes released over the Internet, many consist of a few good songs padded with about 18 tracks of filler material. It often seems that artists get lazy and are so eager to release the one or two good tracks they have that they crank out a dozen mediocre songs in an effort to get the tape out as soon as possible. More and more artists seem unwilling to dedicate the time and effort to compose and perfect a marquee album these days. As a result the production of genuine hip-hop albums has tragically become somewhat of a lost art. The Internet is clearly here to stay. This is a good thing for hip-hop as its music and culture will only spread with its help. What we have lost with the rise of the Internet is the ritual of actually buying an album and experiencing it independently as its own unique brand of hip-hop rather than just a bunch more songs on our iTunes. That, my fellow hip-hop heads, is our loss. Coldham is a Chicago senior in journalism.

I see plenty of pizza options, plenty of expensive restaurants where I would have to pay $12 for a grilled cheese and a couple of Chinese options that tempt me, but my laziness keeps me in my cushioned couch. At this point, I could keep up my four-night streak of pizza, or I could opt for my other overly dialed number in my phone and call Jimmy John's. However, in the near future I will have a new option for my also under nourished wallet and my stomach begging for a new protein to digest.

The opening of a Noodles & Company in Lawrence is not only going to be a taste-of-home for me, it will benefit the entire population of I then start to salivate, dreaming of when I could drive to the flagship Noodles & Company in Denver, just five minutes from my house. My mind takes my stomach hostage and flashes images of melty macaroni and cheese, chewy noodles entangling themselves in Pad Thai sauce and comforting curry soup with steam warming my eyelids. I only then snap out of this fantasy and come to my starving reality: I live in Lawrence and there is no Noodles & Company in sight. THE L NICOLAS ROESLER FESLER As happy as I am to see this restaurant finally make it to Lawrence, I am also sorry to see the locally owned Palace Cards & Gifts being replaced by it. I am a huge supporter of everything locally owned and hate to see corporate America take out another chunk of Lawrence's originality. If only Noodles & Company could have been built on top of the card shop, a strategy I think downtown businesses need to consider in order to supply the demands of Lawrence's growing population. and other especially the students. This restaurant will offer a healthier alternative than other fast food places. For one, all of the dishes contain more than a grain, dairy and meat product, which is all most pizzas have. Noodles & Company offers dishes for people watching everything in their diet, from calories and fats to sodium and carbs. In fact, they have 16 dishes with 400 calories or less. There are more positives than negatives in this addition to the Lawrence dining scene and Noodles & Company will satisfy all those looking for a quick, tasty bite downtown. Roesler is a Denver junior in journalism. Lawrence, especially the students. Recycling economics BLOG: GREEN MY GUY While talking about the strange things found in recycling bins (bras and coffee mugs), Austin suddenly asks, "Why don't you take number five plastic?" He was frustrated that he had so diligently washed out a cottage cheese container only to find that Wal-Mart wouldn't accept it. At the Wal-Mart Recycling Center a few weeks ago, my boyfriend Austin and I chatted up one of the employees there. The employee explained that it all came down to the green: money. Regrettably, there's been an addition to the interconnected trio (reduce, reuse and recycle): recession. As the demand for new products decreases, the demand for recyclables also decreases. For many materials, particularly plastic, it is simply cheaper to produce more rather than recycle. And as with all businesses, no demand means no money — which invariably means no point. Wal-Mart, which is in contract with Midwest recycling tycoon Deffenbaugh Industries, only recycles number-one and number-two plastic (water bottles, milk jugs, shampoo bottles) because it's more economical. I called Chris Scafe of Sunflower Curbside Recycling for more insider information on the green behind this green trade. He explained to me that because number-one and number-two plastic have a higher demand, it The reason? The green doesn't justify the green. The city is actually saving money throwing our trash into the Hamm Sanitary Landfill — not only because the landfill has such a low tipping cost (the cost to dump trash), but also because recycling is losing its monetary incentives. Yet at a time when more and more people are recycling, it is important that the city provide an accessible service to meet the demand and to encourage more recycling. Though the economy influences the eco-friendly, recycling is still incredibly important for minimizing the amount of trash on Earth. The most encouraging part of writing this post came when I asked Chris Scafe how he would feel if the city did implement a citywide curbside service and put Sunflower Curbside out of business. After this, Austin and I began to wonder why the City of Lawrence doesn't provide a citywide curbside recycling program. is more profitable to spend the effort and money on collecting, storing and transporting these plastics rather than number-five plastics (yogurt containers). "I got into the recycling for the environment, not the money," Scafe said. "I'd be more than happy to see Lawrence have a citywide recycling service." Jane Chen is a junior from Olathe.

MISSSSIPPI ST. INDIANA ST. LOUISIANA ST. OHIO ST. TENNESSEE ST. KENTUCKY ST. W 11TH ST. W 12TH ST. W 13TH ST. HERMONT ST. MASSachusetts ST. NEW HAMPSHIRE ST. RHODE ISLAND. CONNECTOUT ST. The City of Lawrence is working with Student Senate and five other student organizations to make the possibility of a lighted pathway from campus to downtown Lawrence a reality for students walking late at night. Since August, these groups have been developing a plan to install lighting along the most commonly used sidewalks in the "student ghetto" the area of houses east of campus. The exact route is still being determined. Elise Higgins, Topeka senior and Student Senate community affairs director, said the lack of lighting in that area was a safety problem student groups had been looking at for years. She said she hoped it would become a reality next fall. "I've lived around 13th and Louisiana and often walk in that area now," said Higgins. "We don't want and women or men to have to worry about safety." T Shani Nisman, San Antonio senior, moved into an apartment on Kentucky Street at the beginning of this semester. She said she liked the idea because so many students lived in the area. Follow Kansan writer Anna Archibald at twitter.com/monarchon.arch "Sometimes if I'm at the library kind of late and I'm walking down the hill, I look behind me and around the entire time just because I'm a girl late at night alone." Nisman said. Nisman said that friends had warned her to be careful when she was out late because she could be mugged or attacked. One lighting option, Higgins said, would be 3-foot, tamper-proof pedestrian lights. She said the groups have considered various options for the light source, but whatever they decide on would meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. While safety is the most prominent concern, it isn't the only issue involved in the decision-making process. Mark Thiel, assistant public works director for the city, said cost was also an issue. "We will determine the scope of the project based on funds." Thel said. City and campus groups are still figuring out how they would pay for the lighted path, Higgins said. She also said funding and the community development grant the groups were hoping for still needed to be applied for. Higgins said the groups would find out the cost of the project in five or six weeks. The organizations anticipate neighborhood concerns about light pollution, which happens when light reaches nearby homes instead of the intended areas. Both Higgins and Thiel said that issue and the project's cost would be addressed at a meeting in November. Greg Rudnick, assistant professor in astronomy, said there was scientific evidence that light pollution was detrimental to nature. Beyond that, he said, the project could cost residents a lot more on their energy bills if administered incorrectly. "The big thing is going to be energy savings." Rudnick said. "I think it will be beneficial to the city to look at long-term price tag instead of what will be cheaper now, because that may not lead to the most energy-efficient solution." Higgins agreed that the price tag on the new light fixtures was a big STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH THE CITY OF LAWRENCE ■ Student Senate ■ Campus Safety Advisory Board ■ All Scholarship Hall Council ■ GSP / Corbin representatives ■ Panhellenic Association ■ Inter-fraternity Council @KANSAN.COM See an interactive version of the map for the proposed lighted route online! concern to campus groups and city officials. "We have to find a balance between good lighting in the area and the best interests of the neighborhood," Higgins said. "But so far the benefits overwhelmingly outweigh the cost."

Next, we see a panting terrier, then a veritable pack of huskies. A few moments later, the owners of these dogs begin to speak. "Need this dog," one woman says as images of a swimming canine flash before our eyes. Then cold, hard numbers replace the sweet t and Robhre Kasey Babbitt, 2008 graduates, and Grant Babbitt Follow Kansas writer Beth Beavers at twitter.com/ bethbeavers. "We put it together and followed through with it because we care." Lenexa senior, set out to tell the story of these shelter animals in what began as a project in a documentary film class. Now, their documentary, "The Littlest Ones: A Dogumentary" is winning awards at film festivals across the country. The film looks at the effects of the recession on animal shelters and the work of "no kill" groups in the community. Siblings Grant and Kasey dedicated the film to two of their childhood dogs, Abby and Scooter, whom they saved just days before they were to be euthanized. "I have more compassion for dogs than for humans," Kasey said. "We put it together and followed through with it because we care." Grant said the assignment was to make a five-minute documentary for a broadcast documentary workshop. The students originally planned to follow the story of a dog. KASEY BABBITT filmmaker 2008 graduate beginning with it's pick-up by animal control. When they went to the Humane Society, however, the trio discovered that the recession had resulted in a 15 percent increase in the number of animals that were dropped off at the shelter. Kasey said the focus of the documentary shifted to programs that exist in the area that didn't use euthanasia. The three students ended up with 13 interviews and got more than 16 hours of footage, which they consolidated into a 15-minute documentary. The film looks at the Lawrence Humane Society and Safe Harbor Prison Dogs Program based in Lansing, both of which are no-kill organizations. Safe Harbor rescues dogs from puppy mills and kill shelters. The dogs then go to inmates at the Lansing Correctional Facility who work to train the dogs. Rohrer interviewed some of the inmates involved with the program. The inmates talked about how the emotional ties to the animals help them not only pass the time, but provide happiness and purpose. "They are people who are giving a second chance and are getting a second chance," Rohrer said. @KANSAN.COM View a clip of the students' award-winning "dogumentary" online! Grant said that the help and direction provided by their instructor, Madison Davis Lacy, associate professor of film and media studies, was essential in putting the film together. "I have more compassion for dogs than for humans." "He doesn't sugar coat anything," Grant said. "If we had footage that was crappy, he told us." Seven film festivals have broadcasted the film, produced under the Babbitts' label Naked Bunny Productions . The film has won numerous awards. It was the featured film at the REEL Dog Film Festival in Los Angeles, where the film also won the best overall film. It was selected as the best documentary at the Cavalier Film Festival and the Little Apple Film Festival, and was an official selection at the Harvest of KASEY BABBITT filmmaker 2008 graduate Arts Film Festival and Griffin international Film Festival. It also won the Judges Choice award at the Kansas-Missouri Short Film Festival. The film will be shown next at the Tallgrass Film 23.25.16 Festival Oct. 23-25 in Wichita. Grant said they would submit the film into festivals around the United States for another year. He said he hoped to get enough funding to turn it into a full-length documentary. "We just want to take it so as many people as possible can see it," he said. —Edited by Brenna M. T. Daldorph Wish this kid a retro chic birthday!

"And that's about it. We don't get too much into who's playing what. I mean, I couldn't tell you anybody's record now" With the Big 12 season freshly under way, the importance of wins and losses is magnified even more.

Nebraska used a 7-1 run to take an early lead, but Kansas scored five points in a row itself and tied the set up 11-11.

Edited by Tim Burgess FOOTBALL Bye week allows for football via couch BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com With no game last Saturday, senior wide receiver Kerry Meier had an opportunity to get away from football for at least a few days. He went home to Pittsburg, to hang out with his brother Dylan. However, he still ended up watching the game he plays nearly every other day of the season. "I try to get away from it, but it seems I found the controller in my hand turning football games on," Meier said. "It's just something you don't get away from." Even though they spend the majority of their time on the field; players spent their break still t Follow Ransan writer Clark Goble at twitter. com/cgoble89. focused on the game. The difference: watching playmakers from a couch instead of the sidelines. Junior linebacker Justin Springer watched a lot of games Saturday, including Notre Dame vs. Washington, Oklahoma vs. Miami (Fla.) and UTEP vs. Houston. Justin's brother Jeremy 'plays for UTEP. However, Springer said that the light weekend was a good reward for the team's hard work in practice. He said the team had "tough" practices last week with a lot of conditioning, but it wasn't all bad. "We made a lot of progress in all areas," Springer said. Springer and Meier said while that the bye week was nice, it's not what they love to do. "I enjoy a little time home," Springer said. "But at the same time, you need to get back on the field and start the Big 12 off." Sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson had a similar day to Meier and Springer. "I just took advantage of my Saturday, sat back, watched the games and enjoyed myself," Patterson said. But the question arises: are these Division I student athletes still able to watch the game as fans. or do they find themselves analyzing every single snap? "It's coming to a conclusion that I'm not just watching for the fun of it," Meier said. "It's more figuring out what the defense is doing and what coverages they are playing." But for senior safety Darrrell Stuckey, the television angles don't allow anyone to analyze too much. He likes to watch other team's games just for fun. "But you're naturally going to analyze stuff and do different things," Stuckey said. "At the same time, you want to minimize that."

MANHATTAN — Through all those years of watching someone else get the glory, Grant Gregory never lost confidence, keeping the belief he was good enough to play quarterback at a BCS school. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Senior Gregory excited for chance to compete Problem was, he was running out of time. Just two weeks ago, Gregory was still the backup at Kansas State, trying to keep a positive attitude. The clock was winding down on his career and he knew it. Finally, it came. A surprise starter against Iowa State on Saturday, Gregory threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-23 win at Arrowhead Stadium, earning Big 12 offensive player of the week honor. MORNING BREW Game renews baseball interest I have never been confused with — and perhaps never will be — a baseball purist. Sure, baseball and I have flirted a few times. A friendly smile here, a wink there. In the batting cages, however, I could never produce the long ball and so our love was ultimately fleeting. Don't mistake this as an affront to the sport by any stretch.

Having a second home in Minnesota helped, despite the confusion of having my two teams in the same division. After a tremendous start by the Royals and (presumptive/ deserving) Cy Young winner Zack Greinke grew depressing, I began to care much more about other things. I'd catch a Greinke start here and there, track the Twins in the standings but soon after go days, weeks (!) without knowing who was slotted where in the standings. Tuesday evening saw one of the wildest, richest, pulse-pounding, off-the-wall games available for consumption in ages. Until last week. Behind again in the bottom of the 10th, the Twins scored to stay in it and when Nick Punto lined out to left, Alex Casilla sprinted to home and...was out. I fell back in "like" with the sport Tuesday evening when the Twins and (presumptive/deserving) American League MVP Joe Mauer powered back to answer an early 3-0 deficit to the Detroit Tigers, fell behind again and found themselves tied after nine innings. Tied. Again. But soon after, one lone sports fan sat in a quiet Lawrence laundromat as a tiny old television At the end of the 163rd game of the season, it still wasn't decided.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL Nebraska defense gears up for Missouri game BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — No one in the country has scored less than whoever is playing Nebraska in a given week. No one has cared less, it seems, than Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini. That's probably because No. 21 Nebraska (3-1) has shut down three Sun Belt teams and Virginia Tech's inconsistent attack, holding them all to a total of 28 points through four games. "I'm not satisfied with where we are as a defense," Pelini said. "We have a long way to go yet." Blaine Gabbert and No. 24 Missouri seem likely to fare better against the nation's top scoring defense when the Tigers host their first Thursday night game in 17 years. The Tigers quarterback has thrown for 1,161 yards and 11 TDs — without an interception — this year, also against a soft schedule, though Missouri did play a Big Ten team, beating Illinois 37-9 in the opener. The Big 12 opener for both teams will provide each a measuring stick for the rest of the season. for whom the tables have turned a bit. The Huskers won 24 straight in the series before Missouri broke that streak with a 41-24 home win in 2003, the first of three straight in Columbia. The Tigers won in Lincoln last year, and are aiming for their first three-game streak over Nebraska since the late 1960s. Gabbert, a sophomore who backed up Chase Daniel last year, leads the Big 12 in passing efficiency. He'll be trying to lead Missouri (4-0) to its fourth straight 5-0 start against a bitter rival — though one THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY No events scheduled FRIDAY 7.

COMMENTARY PAGE 10A Thursdays no longer for 'little' conferences BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Once upon a time, Thursday nights were reserved for mid-level MAC or Mountain West "showcase games." Every once in a while, a halfway decent Pac 10 may have stopped by. But then those non-BCS conferences started to get better. And with that improvement, the once desolate Thursday night slot began to climb in prestige. No longer reserved for also-rans and fringe bowl teams, BCS busters like Boise State began to make more frequent appearances. Following on their tail, more teams from more power conferences started to see the appeal in a pre-weekend spotlight game. Now, once upon a time has given way to the present time. And in the present, tonight offers a Big 12 game bigger than any taking place on Saturday, as Nebraska visits Missouri Both teams find themselves in the Top 25 — Nebraska at No. 21, and Missouri at No. 24. Both have looked much better than might have been expected coming into the season. Nebraska returned a lot of players, but did lose their starting quarterback. No matter. The Cornhuskers stand at 3-1, their only loss being a nail-biter at Virginia Tech. Missouri's success has been more surprising. The Tigers graduated their offensive line and the most statistically successful quarterback in program history. Jeremy Maclin, one of college football's premier playmakers, took his ample skills to the NFL. That, combined with an embarrassingly sloppy spring game performance, left many in Columbia tossing around the phrase "rebuilding year". So far, the supposed rebuilding looks ahead of schedule. Blaine Gabbert has stepped into Chase Daniels' shoes and looks quite comfortable in them. Behind him, the Missouri offense has hummed along with the fluidity Tiger fans have come to expect. Most importantly, the team is 4-0. To Jayhawk fans, that's all just a bit tangential to the real point: Missouri and Nebraska are the biggest obstacles to Kansas winning the Big 12 North this season. Sure, Kansas has a more experienced team than either Nebraska or Missouri — especially on the offensive side of the ball, specifically, at quarterback. The Jayhawks also have the luxury of playing Nebraska at home, and Missouri at neutral Arrowhead Stadium. But the schedule isn't universally kind to the Jayhawks. Kansas has to play Oklahoma and Texas, a challenge which the Tigers and Huskers don't face this season. Consider the fact that Sam Bradford will likely be a healthy participant when Oklahoma visits Lawrence, and that Kansas has to travel to Austin, and the odds of Kansas running the table in conference play don't look so good. This illuminates the greater meaning for tonight's game: Either Nebraska or Missouri will start Big 12 play 0-1. Now that's hardly a revelatory truth, but it's an important one nonetheless. That one loss could be the difference between Kansas finally earning a trip to the Big 12 title game — in the season where things seem best aligned for it to do so — and a continued chorus of "maybe next year." Edited by Alicia Banister BASKETBALL Morris involved in accident using Taylor's car BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeauxkansan.com Sophomore center Markieff Morris was involved in an accident while driving teammate sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor's car on Sept. 13, according to police reports. Morris was issued a citation for an improper lane change. There were no injuries. Previous reports said the 1997 Chevy Tahoe was former Kansas basketball player Scot Pollard's. Three passengers, including Morris, were in that car during the incident. The accident occurred at 17th and Tennessee Streets with one other car, a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. A 23-year-old Buhler woman drove the Pontiac with one other passenger. Morris Morris said he was driving southbound on Tennessee Street, was preparing to turn left on 17th St. and did not see a car when he attempted to change lanes. He said when he tried to switch lanes the bumper of his car struck the rear passenger door of the other car. The Chevy Tahoe used to belong to Pollard, but was later sold to Taylor. Pollard recently moved to Lawrence after calling it quits in the NBA. did not see any damages to Morris' vehicle. If the car still belonged,to Pollard, the NCAA would have the grounds to consider it an extra benefit given to Morris for letting him drive. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said Morris' use of his teammate's car was legal. In the police report, the car is filed under Pollard, but Marchiony does not know why. "The compliance office monitored the sale, so it complied with NCAA rules," he said. Brandon Sayers contributed reporting for this story BIG12 — Edited by Anna Kathagnarath Who will win the North? Kansas faces tough competition in race for conference title BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Coach Mark Mangino has never been one to dangle a prediction in front of the media. He's never been a fan of forecasting or looking a few games down the schedule, either. That's not his style, and he'll tell you so in a handful of ways if the topic surfaces. In responding to a similarly-themed question, Mangino didn't stray from that trend. But his answer provided a noteworthy summation of the upcoming Big 12 North title chase. "It's going to be a competitive race" Mangino said. "I can tell you that." A nationally televised showdown between Top-25 teams Nebraska and Missouri tonight marks the first leg of an eight-game conference season. And that game is the first of many filled with postseason implications. The winner has an early one-up in what is expected to be a tightly-contested Big 12 North race. The loser, meanwhile, has already dug its own hole. It's something most Kansas players said they'll keep an eye on. "Of course we're going to watch the Missouri-Nebraska game to see what happens," sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson said. "We know that plays a factor in to how our season goes and who you have to beat." The level to which players follow conference opponents, though, varies greatly. it Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. MIZZOU 11 For instance, senior safety Justin Thornton, who grew up in St. Joseph, Mo., attempts to closely follow teams in the Big 12. If Thornton sees a conference game on TV, he'll watch it. "Me, personally, I try to stay up on what all the other teams are doing, especially when they start playing each other," Thornton said. "It's definitely something you have to stay up on." VOLLEYBALL Senior safety Darrell Stuckey, who is paired with Thornton in the secondary, has a slightly different take. Stuckey rarely, if at all. follows teams via television. Jayhawks defeated again by Cornhuskers Instead, reverberating one of Mangino's previous statements, Stuckey said the most important aspect of winning a conference championship is avoiding outside influences, such as the highs and lows experienced by opponents. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 8A BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team was unable to end its winless streak Wednesday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Kansas is now 0-83-1 all time against Nebraska in volleyball. Kansas fell to 9-6 (2-4) and Nebraska improved to 11-4 (4-2) as Kansas was swept by Nebraska 3-0 for the 65th time in 84 matches. The loss means Kansas also doesn't have a conference road victory this season. Sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield racked up her fourth career double-double, tallying 13 kills and 12 digs and sophomore setter Nicole Tate also had a double-double on the night. Junior outside hitter Karina Garlington continued to struggle as she only recorded four kills while adding five errors in the first two sets, but bounced back with four kills and zero errors in the third set. Kansas played very closely to Nebraska for most of the sets, but then Nebraska turned up the Follow Kansan writer Zach Getz at twitter.com/zgetz. E intensity Coach Ray Bechard said. Bechard also said Kansas needs to continue to work on its end game and execution. "There was a time tonight where I thought that we were waiting for something to happen instead of making something happen," Bechard said. "When it comes time to make a difference at the end of the game, we need a little better execution." Mayfield said that whenever Kansas would make a run, Nebraska always had an answer to stifle any momentum Kansas would gain. "We were in it, then they would get just a couple of good plays, and they would get some of the momentum back," Mayfield said. "It's hard to get the momentum back when they have the crowd behind them." Kansas played in front of more than 4,000 fans and Nebraska volleyball had its 126th consecutive sellout, which is an NCAA women's sports record. The crowd was a joy to play for, and appreciates good volleyball, Garlington said.

But there was one staple of most vegetarian diets that I could never get used to: tofu. I couldn't understand 1970 how anybody enjoyed the mushy, flavorless substance, so I went a few months without any major source of protein in my diet. Growing up, I was never a big-time meat eater. I would have it as part of other dishes, but I've never been one to go to a restaurant and order a steak. So, when I began gradually cutting meat out of my diet last year, it was a pretty smooth transition. But after a while, I began to experience occasional cravings for meat like I had never really had before. Particularly when I was tired or sick, I would begin to feel like the only thing that would make me better was a big cheeseburger. With this newfound concern for my health, I began making an effort to include soy products into my diet. And after learning better ways to prepare it, I eventually began to enjoy eating tofu. My cravings went away, and I started feeling good about the way I was eating. I later concluded that this was my body's way of telling me that I was lacking in the protein and other nutrients found in meat. Then in the spring I read a magazine article about a man who began growing strange lumps in his chest, which a doctor attributed to the large amount of soy milk he consumed every day. This really freaked me out. I had just begun eating more soy in an effort to be healthier, but was I actually hurting my body? tuesday, October 13th Since then, I've cut back on my soy intake and begun to mix up my protein sources by eating more beans and peanut butter, but I'm still a little nervous about what effect my diet will have on my body. Read Amy's story on page 13 about whether soy actually is the healthy food that many people think it is. You'll see how important it is to be conscious of your health, your diet and how the two relate to each other. // SEAN ROSNER, EDITOR RECENT WORKS BY CLARE DOVETON Pachamama's, 11:00 a.m. free, all ages KU JAZZ ENSEMBLES I, II & III The Lied Center, 7:30 p.m. $6-$5, all ages "MACBETH" Crafton-Preyer Theater, 7:30 p.m., $10-$18, all ages TUESDAY NITE SWING Kansas Union, 8 p.m., free, all ages KINGS OF LEON / WHITE LIES Sprint Center, 8 p.m. $43.50, all ages MCHRISE / WHOLE WHEAT BREAD / FIGHT DRAGONS The Granada, 8 p.m., $13, all ages ORCHARD LUNGE The Bottleneck, 9 p.m. all ages The Jackpot Music Hall, 10 p.m., $6-$8, 18+ wednesday, oct. 14th SCARY MOVIE NIGHT The Gaslight Tavern, 7 p.m., free, 18+ POKER PUB The Pool Room, 7 p.m. & 10 p.m., free, 21+ THE AMERICANA MUSIC ACADEMY JAM Signs of Life, 7:30 p.m. free, all ages DOLLAR BOWING Royal Crest Bowling Lanes. 9 p.m., $1, all ages The Jackpot Music Hall, 9 p.m., $8-$10, 18+ BANE / FOUNDATION / SORRY EXCUSE THE WERKS / BILLY THE SQUIRREL The Bottleneck, 9 p.m., all ages ACOUSTIC OPEN JAM The Jazzzah, 10 p.m. $2. 21+ EDITOR // Sean Rosner **ASSOCIATE EDITOR** // Alex Garrison **DESIGNERS** // Laura Fisk, Liz Schulte **CONTACT** // Mia Iverson, Hailey Osterhaus **HEALTH** // Kirsten Hudson, Amy Johnson **MANUAL** // Francesca Chambers, Patrick De Oliveira, Andrea Olsen **NOTICE** // Hannah DeClerk, Kelci Shipley, Valerie Skubal **PLY** / Sarah Bluvas, Zach Getz, Jake Lerman CONTRIBUTORS // Mike Anderson, Taylor Brown, Amber Jackson, Chelsea Johnson, KJHK music staff, Sasha Lund, Landon McDonald, Abby Olcese, Brett Phillippe, Nicolas Roesler, Amanda Sorell CREATIVE CONSULTANT // Carol Holstead CONTACT US // jayplay09@gmail.com JAYPLAY (785) 864-4810 The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk.

Robert Bussinger was a graduate student in communications studies when he lost his keys. He couldn't find them anywhere and at one point he decided to try out some Salvia divinorum, a potent psychedelic plant used for shamanic purposes. He had heard that the plant could help the user find lost items, and wanted to see if it was true. Bussinger found the plant at Persephone's Journey, an herbs shop on Massachusetts Street that is now called Sacred Journey, and tried it out. This happened two years ago, and Salvia is now illegal in Kansas. But Bussinger became interested in the sacred and medicinal uses of different herbs and plants and started doing some research on his own. Now, he works at Sacred Journey and helps people find the plant most suitable for their needs. "I've probably eaten every herb and botanical we have in the shop," he says. Bussinger approaches plants from a shamanic perspective. He has trained with shamans from Gabon, Venezuela and in Mexico. He says that people should get to know each plant by itself, because they all have their own spirit and medicinal value. One of the store's most popular plants is the Kratom, which serves as a painkiller. Bussinger says that people who've tried it have reported positive experiences. Oh, and those keys Bussinger lost? He found them a week after trying the Salvia. // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA L Photo by Patrick De Oliveira The natural way: Former graduate student Robert Bussinger became an herbalist — a researcher and seller of natural remedies — after trying Salvia divinorum, a hallucogenic plant that's now illegal, in an attempt to find his long-lost keys. it's not all about fast food and beer pong. get some culture // ORQUESTRA DE SÃO PAULO If the phrase "classical music" conjures up images of stuffy, old, white European men, perhaps a stop by the Lied Center tomorrow will change your mind. There, in a performance beginning at 7:30 p.m., Kazem Abdullah, an up-and-coming, 29-year-old African-American maestro, will conduct the Orquestra de São Paulo, the state orchestra of São Paulo, Brazil, and one of the world's most prestigious orchestras.

Students will enjoy watching the Orquestra de São Paulo because its members are very spontaneous and like to have a good time while they play, Abdullah says. The international ensemble will cover traditional European territory with a rendition of Johannes Brahms' "Symphony No. 2" but it will also play "Encantamento" and "Três Danças Brasileiras para Orquestra," both by the Brazilian composer Camargo Guamieri. Abdullah describes "Encantamento" as a very slow and sensuous piece, though "Três Danças" is an adaptation of typical Brazilian dances. "This is really one of the world's best orchestras," Abdullah says. "They have a really strong understanding of Brazilian music and Brazilian composers." Evelyn Glennie will add to the spectacle with her percussionist abilities and her style. "She plays with a lot of intensity and gusto," Abdullah says.

It can be little difficult, but with these simple tips you'll be looking prim and proper in no time. in case of emergency, read quickly. essential life skills // TYING A TIE Sean Galloway, an employee in the men's department of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., says the simplest knot is the single Windsor. It's a casual style with a rectangular knot. Start with the wider part of the tie on your right side, about a foot longer than the skinny side. You are going to do all of the actions with the wide part of the tie. Pull the wide side over to the left and then tuck it behind the skinny side so it's back on the right. Then pull it over to the left again, then up and through the opening at your neck. By this time you have wrapped it twice around the skinny end. Slide the fat part of the tie down through the loop you have made and straighten it out. If that still confuses you, Galloway recommends instructional videos on YouTube. Getting your tie the right length takes trial and error but Galloway says you can measure by the buttons on your shirt. The biggest thing is to make sure the tie ends in the middle of your belt buckle and it is smooth at the knot. Photo by Andrea Olsen "It really says something about a man if he knows how to tie a good knot," Galloway says. It's knot so tough after all.

But the break is only four days long, which means you probably won't make it to California. So why don't you pick from one of these closer destinations and embark on this long-standing college tradition? Austin, Texas (701 miles) The home to the University of Texas' Longhorn is a Lawrence on steroids. Just take a look at the city's two slogans: "Live Music Capital of the World" and "Keep Austin Weird." If it's music you're looking for, Sixth Street is the place to go. It's lined with music venues, bars and clubs. "It always gets crazy," says Emily Franke, Austin, Texas sophomore. Getting ready for the road. Fall break is the perfect opportunity to get in the car and check out a new city with your friends. Photo illustration by Alex Bonham-Carter Austin is also home to a different breed of night creatures. Tons of them. If you go to the Congress Avenue Bridge at dusk, you can see hoards of bats emerge from underneath the bridge to go seek food. "It takes 30 minutes for all of them to come out. It's kind of disgusting," Franke says. If the day is sunny, go swimming at the Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park. As the name says, the pool is fed by spring water, and it's a popular hangout spot. Then, grab a bite at the Alamo Drrafthouse, a movie theater that also serves food and drinks. "Sometimes they'll play something like The Karen Kate and have a couple of comedians make fun of it," Franke says. Recommended bar: The Dizzy Rooster, 306 E. 6th St. Sure, the dance floor may be small, but isn't that what bar counters are for? A beach scene with a large crowd of people. The shore is sandy, and there are buildings in the background under a cloudy sky. Contributed photo CHAMPION Boulder, Colo. (586 miles) If you think Lawrence lacks hippies, this lively college town is your best bet. Pearl Street Mall is full of them, together with great shops, restaurants and a busy nightlife. But be careful if you're underage; bouncers are very strict and cops are everywhere, says Nick Allen, Boulder, Colo., senior. But Boulder offers something for everybody, Located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, the town is also a mecca for outdoor sports. There are several trails nearby and Estes Park is only 45 minutes away. "If you can fit a bike, bring it," Allen says. "You can bike anywhere and everywhere around Boulder." Allen also recommends a walk and picnic beside Boulder Creek. Photo by Patrick de Oliveiza And if you need just one more reason to go to Boulder during fall break, here it is: Jayhawks vs. Buffaloes. The football game is that Saturday, and it's sure to be worth the drive. Just don't forget to book a place to stay ASAP. Recommended bar: West End Tavern, 926 Pearl St. This roof-top chill spot is a great place to sip on some bourbon and enjoy a vista of the rising Rocky Mountains. 2014.11.30 Chicago, Ill. (569 miles) Sure, Kansas City can be fun and exciting, but if you want to get a true urban feel you should head up to Chicago. "I love walking through the city. I still stare open-mouthed at all the beautiful buildings, even though I've lived here for a year," says Barbara Alves, 2008 graduate. You can do all the touristy things such as visit Navy Pier and the museums. But if you want something different you should walk through the Pilsen neighborhood, a largely Hispanic-American area where all the broke artists live, Alves says. "And I would definitely hit a comedy club." The Second City, 1616 N. Wells St., has all the famous names, but The iO Theater, 3541 N. Clark St., is cheaper and in Wrigleyville, an entertainment neighborhood, so you can go party nearby after having some laughs. If you go shopping, stay clear of Michigan Avenue. It's where all the over-priced brand-name stores are, Alves says. "Go to State Street instead. It has half of the Michigan stores except they are cheaper." Recommended bar Kincade's, 950 W. Armitage Ave. Where all the expatriate Jayhawks hang out and a great place to catch the Kansas vs. Colorado football game. Photo by Patrick de Oliveira Road tunes No road trip is complete without a playlist, which should vary according to your destination. Austin — Make sure it includes Spoon. You could listen to some country - if you want to follow the stereotype. But Austin's music scene also includes bands such as Spoon, who have been an indie rock staple for more than a decade. The legendary guitarist who inspired the likes of Jimi Hendrix is still rocking. If you want to build some familiarity with Chicago blues, Buddy Guy is the man to go with. Chicago — Make sure it includes Buddy Guy. If there is one style of music that defines the road trip spirit, it's bluegrass. With songs such as "If There's Still Ramblin' in the Rambler (Let Him Go)," YMSB are sure to incite your traveling spirit. Boulder — Make sure it includes Yonder Mountain String Band. Preparing your ride for the journey Before you hit the road be sure to check if your car is in good condition. - Check the oil and change it if needed. - Check tire condition and tire pressure - Make sure all lights are working. - Check all fluids. - See if your wipers are in good shape in case you run into rain. - And if your car gives you any problems on the road, call your mechanic for advice. He or she may be able to help you out by indicating someone who's close to you to have a look at your car.

Others have begun to use video chatting for job-seeking and other creative uses, though sometimes the sight of an eagerly Guitar Hero-ing roommate could get in the way. Video chatting software makes it easier for students to stay in touch with family, lovers and friends, and even apply for jobs I walked into my room and flopped down on my bed. "How was your meeting?" my boyfriend asked. "Fine," I replied and proceeded to fill him in on what he had missed during the last two hours. The conversation was typical to those we had every day when we lived together, except that now, my boyfriend was not physically there. He was talking to me through a video chatting program on my computer. Every day last semester my boyfriend would call me on Skype — a popular Internet-based video chatting computer program — after he finished his duties at his army base. Some days we would talk for hours. On other days, I would leave the phone call open all evening so he would be there to virtually greet me. For us, video chatting wasn't really about chatting; it was about spending time together. Though relatively few students know the experience of being separated from a significant other in the military, many know what it's like to be apart from loved ones because of school. According to data from the Institute of International Education released earlier this year, 27.5 percent of the KU student body say they have studied abroad. Additionally, more than 1,900 international students currently attend the University, and 26 percent of KU students are from out-of-state, according to the University's website. As the availability of high-speed Internet increases throughout the world, students will be able to use video chatting programs for a plethora of reasons such as applying for jobs and taking classes — the options are unlimited. Nima Soleimani, Overland Park senior, says having the ability to video chat made for less heartbreak when his then-girlfriend left the country. Soleimani and his girlfriend used Yahoo! messenger to video chat at first, but later switched to Skype because it streams higher-quality video. Countless free video chatting programs are available on the Internet and the use of Skype in particular has skyrocketed in the last year, increasing 43 percent. Julia Ubbenga, Eudora graduate student, used the video component of Skype to talk to her family during the year she taught English in Spain, "It's just like they're in the other room," she says. "It's like they're right there face-to-face." Talking to couples who are older and more experienced with long distance relationships prompted Amy Trainor, Chicago freshman, to begin using Skype earlier this semester when she moved to Lawrence. Meanwhile, her boyfriend moved to New Orleans to attend Tulane University. Ubbenga's boyfriend at the time, who is now her husband, thought video chatting was too weird. So instead she used the program to call his phone. Unlike video chatting, calling phones from Skype internationally is not free. It costs about 2 cents per minute, depending on which country you are calling. Skype made it easier for Ubbenga and her husband to continue dating, she says, because she was able to talk to him more often. Skype made it possible for her to call him from home rather than seeking out a pay phone, plus Skype was less expensive for her than international phone calls. So far, making the relationship work has been easy, partly because of Skype, she says. But video chatting also has its downsides. When she knows she is going to "see" her boyfriend that day, she takes extra care primping. No matter what she does, though, she feels she always "looks sick" when she watches herself in the video-feed box on the screen. Students are already using Skype for reasons other than maintaining long-distance relationships. Tommy Del Greco, 2009 graduate, used Skype last spring to apply for three out-of-state jobs. Although he ended up accepting the one job he applied for in person, Del Greco says the video interviews paid off for him. He was later offered one of the jobs he interviewed for on Skype and was the second choice for another. His potential employers seemed impressed that he was innovative and tech savvy, he says, "The phone interviews were OK, but they lacked that certain personal touch," he says. The only unprofessional aspect of using Skype to conduct an interview, he says, was that he still lived in a scholarship hall at the time and his roommates could be seen walking around in the background. I settle down at my computer with my dinner, ready to watch the latest episode of The Office online. Yet one thing is still missing. My computer rings. "Are you ready?" my boyfriend asks. "Yep," I say. We push play simultaneously on our computers. Even distance can't stop us from continuing our Friday-night ritual together. Using Skype is simple - Go to www.skype.com and click the download tab at the top of the page. - If you have a built-in microphone and web cam on your computer, you can begin using Skype as soon as you download the program and restart your computer. If not, you can buy a headset with a microphone and a web cam to plug into your computer for about $20 a piece. - Skype will prompt you to create a user name the first time you open the application. You may need to download a driver program for your external camera, but that information is also on the Skype download page. 10 08 09 6 CONTACT ❤ CONNECTING Photo illustration by Adam Bubler Ditch the dinner-movie date: Students find ways to keep their romances kindled without breaking the bank with innovative cheap-buy alternative dates such as taking advantage of free events, heading outdoors and good, old-fashioned people-watching and conversation. WITHOUT THE COST Innovative ways to avoid expensive dates // MIA IVERSON A candle-lit dinner for two was not prepared for Stephanie Moore's seven-month anniversary. Nor was dinner and a movie or an exchange of gifts planned. Instead, she found herself blindfolded. "He took me around Lawrence to places he thought was pretty." Moore says. Wichita freshman. Drew McMahon, Wichita junior and her boyfriend, surprised her by blindfolding her and taking her to the field above the football stadium, a spot overlooking the river across from Abe and Jake's, and finally to a park to gaze up at the stars. Needless to stay, Drews $0 went a long way. These days, many students really cannot afford to go on lavish, expensive dates, but walking around campus, there still the same amount of hand holding, subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) groping and make-out sessions in front of the stairwalls. The spirit of love, it seems, is still in the air. So, the conundrum is this: How do you take your special someone out on a date without spending a pretty penny? Students shared their creative ways to woo without breaking the bank. "McDonald's and Mrs. E's are good ideas," Sirus Saeedipour, Overland Park freshman, jokes about taking his girlfriend out. "But once I took her to the park, walking around in the woods until the sun set." Another tip in trying to plan a romantic yet inexpensive date is looking for the word "free." "Anything that's not dinner is good. Free movies ... free is always good," says Jenni Kornfeld, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore. She also suggests heading into Kansas City and paying $2 to watch the Kansas City Symphony rehearse. Brady Crist, McPheson junior, and Melissa Heller, Overland Park junior, also came up with some unique plans. "Movies are good but common." Heller says, "but you can go on Mass. and make personalized T-shirts." ACME, 847 Massachusetts St., prints $15 one-color custom t-shirts. Crist and Heller go on to suggest going out into the wilderness, having a campfire, or renting a canoe from the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. Another place to look is campus. Student Union Activities and the Kansas Union are constantly hosting inexpensive events ranging from showing discounted movies to bringing in a variety of comedians at a low cost. Just recently SUA brought in Dan Cummings, who will soon have a special coming out on Comedy Central. Also, there's more on campus than libraries and classrooms. Becca Campbell, Atchison sophomore, suggests heading to the Spencer Museum of Art. "I may be a nerd, but I think going to the campus museums would be cool too," Campbell says. But you don't have to be a nerd to enjoy art. Plus you can use the art you see in the museum as a jumping point to fuel conversation and get closer to your significant other. Going on dates such as these does more than just save you money, it also gives you a great opportunity to connect with the person you're dating. Crowded restaurants and dark movie theaters don't provide the best opportunity to get to know another person. Communication is key to all relationships, and you can communicate more effectively when you're not stuffing down pasta or inching your arm over a shoulder during a scary movie. Next time you want to impress the apple of your eye, don't think big. Rather bury the debit card and take a chance to exhibit its ingenuity on your end. Go out to Clinton Lake, whip up a meal together or simply take a walk downtown or around campus.

KANSA IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFES- SIONAL HELP If you are looking to increase your libido and the amount of pleasure you get from sex,you should think about adopting a lifestyle that is fit for it. Being great at sex often requires a lot of work outside of the bedroom, but the extra effort will benefit you as well as your partner. Here some tips to improve your fitness for sex. 1) You'll need to exercise and keep a fit body. A healthy body means better sex. Exercise will increase bloodflow, reduce stress, make you feel sexier, increase your stamina and even enhance your orgasm. Also, I recommend that both genders exercise their PC muscles. The PC muscle contracts during an orgasm and a stronger muscle makes for a more pleasurable experience. By doing a few simple PC exercises, known as Kegels, one can greatly increase the amount of pleasure he or she derives from an orgasm. 2) Be sure to get at least seven hours of sleep per night. Fatigue will certainly have a negative effect on your libido, as well as add to your anxiety. 3) Stop smoking. Smoking can ravage your body in countless ways that will affect bloodflow in men and perceived physical pleasure in both sexes. 4) Avoid excessive amounts of alcohol. A little is good but a lot can hurt sexual responsiveness, not to mention affect your decision-making abilities. 5) The major thing you can do to reach your sexual peak is to watch what you eat. Junk food is a libido killer. High cholesterol levels are associated with erection problems. Here is a list of some foods, herbs and minerals that will get your libido going. Chocolate: It contains two compounds that have sex-enhancing effects. Plus it can be used in a very sexual way. Caffeine: Believe it or not, people who consume caffeine are more likely to be sexually active. Men who drink coffee also have lower levels of erectile dysfunction. Licorice: The smell is supposed to help men increase penile bloodflow. Fish: The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish help men raise and keep erections and help women with their ability to produce vaginal lubrication and become aroused. Oysters: Yes, the myth is true. Foods rich in zinc such as oysters can help combat issues that deal with infertility and libido loss in both men and women. I've also read that the herbs ginko and ginseng can help restore lost sexual desire, but the research on this is sometimes shaky. The last couple of lifestyle changes that might help you reach your sexual peak are making sex a priority and being a little more adventurous. If you want to maintain an active and strong sex life you must make sex a priority. And don't let the sex get stale. Dare to be sexier. Add some adventure and spontaneity in your sex life. If I asked you to name your most daring sexual experience, would it be g-rated or x-rated? A sexual relationship plagued with predictability will wreak havoc on a libido. // MIKE ANDERSON WE RACK OUR BALLS FOR YOU CHECK OUT OUR DRINK SPECIALS ON THE BACK COVER OPEN DAILY 9AM - 2AM Astro's 601 KASOLD 785.749.7699 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 genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT NEW BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY Starting at 7 a.m. SPECIALS Monday: 1/2 price wine bottles Tuesday: $10 lasagna meal 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM genovese ITALIAN RESTAURANT NEW BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY Starting at 7 a.m. SPECIALS Monday: 1/2 price wine bottles Tuesday: $10 lasagna meal 941 MASS. 785.842.0300 WWW.GENOVESEITALIAN.COM catch of the week // KAYLA BENNET our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.

The best dates are the ones that you don't fully realize that you're on until you're getting kissed at the end of the night. What are you main hobbies? I like concerts, pumpkin-patch adventures and dressing like a pin-up girl. Favorite Foods? Pad Thai, avocados and lemon-berry slushes. Favorite Quote? "The one thing I do know is that we did it What is a major turn off? harder, we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love, baby. You can't take that away from us." — SLC Punk Negativity is super lame. I once went out with a guy, and as I asked him questions about himself, it became clear that he wasn't happy about anything. I had to secretly text my friend to have her make the "save me" phone call an hour early. I like guys who are passionate about creativity: art, music, writing, whatever — it's hot. Major turn on? What's the first thing you notice about someone? I know this is cliche, but I always notice a genuine smile, even from all the way across the room. Dream job? My dream job is definitely to be a tour manager, because it combines three of my favorite things: music, traveling and telling people what to do. Where do you like to go to get away?

The stress of school can trigger panic attacks in sufferers of panic disorder. Panic attacks involve intense feelings of fear and physiological strain — the same set of reactions associated with the "fight-or-flight" response. I am hanging out with a group of my friends before a Dave Matthews Band concert, four years ago. We are sitting around, drinking beer and playing games. It is a perfect fall day; the air is crisp and full of excitement and anticipation. Music is playing and we are having a great time. But then, out of nowhere, I am on a roller coaster. My head starts spinning faster and faster. I clench my teeth. Sweat beads form on my brow. I feel like I am having a heart attack. My friends stand around me, still talking and laughing, unaware that I am exploding from the inside. I want to take myself out of the party, to get into my car and drive until I am safe in my bed. But my legs feel frozen and my body too stiff and frightened to move. Even the crisp, white cotton sheets, fluffy mattress and familiar sights and smells of my house seem too hard to reach. I feel as if something bad will happen if I move out of this stance and try to go home, but something even worse will happen if I continue standing in this spot. Although I don't know it yet, I am having a panic attack. These days, I wake up every morning to a nice buffet of pharmaceuticals and go through my day with a slight fear of an attack residing in the back of my head. Panic — and more specifically, the fear of panic that leads to my phobias — will always be an unwanted friend. WHAT IS A PANIC ATTACK? And I'm not the only one. A survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health found that six million adults 18 or older have panic disorder, which is related to panic attacks. Twice as many women as men suffer from the disorder. The Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary defines it this way: An episode of intense fear or apprehension that is of sudden onset and may occur for no apparent reason or as a reaction to an identifiable triggering stimulus Stephanie Koch, 2009 graduate, says her attacks began on a day right before a big test. She was a sophomore, sitting in her dorm room studying, when all of a sudden she started shaking and crying. "I didn't know what was happening it me. That was the most terrifying part," Koch says. "I was light-headed, my heart was racing and I failed my test." What Koch didn't know was that her fight-orflight instinct was being signaled for no apparent reason. David Holmes, professor of psychology, explains that the fight-or-flight response usually only emerges in life-threatening situations. When the fight-or-flight instinct goes off, many people feel as if they are going to die. For example, if a big bear jumped out in front of you, how would your body respond? Normally one will go into panic mode and the body will put up a defense mechanism. Now, imagine that same response happening, but out of the blue — no scary bear. It is terrifying and strange and people go to various lengths to avoid such attacks. Panic sufferers often fear that these attacks will occur in front of others and that there will be no escaping. As a result, the majority of panic sufferers will be diagnosed with agoraphobia, a fear of crowds or large, open spaces. "Because panic attacks are so terrifying, some people who suffer from them stay home where they feel safe and where they won't embarrass themselves if they have an attack," Holmes says. WHY DO WE PANIC? Panic disorder can be placed into three different categories based on the body's reaction: cognitive, stress-triggered and physiological. Most people who suffer from panic attacks will suffer from all three of these reactions. The cognitive approach, according to Holmes, is when an individual misinterprets some minor physical symptom as a sign of something more serious. A person could be sitting in a car, for instance, when out of nowhere his or her heart begins to pound faster. He or she starts believing that he or she is having a heart attack and the fight-or-flight instinct kicks in, sending the mind into hyper-drive. Holmes also emphasizes the fact that individuals who respond to everyday situations with high levels of stress typically are more inclined to suffer from panic disorder. Usually this happens because a person tends to dwell on the unimportant and the more a person dwells, the more they seem to panic. Many cognitive therapists, Holmes says, have suggested that individuals who respond to any type of situation — even those that are not particularly stressful — with high levels of stress do so because they have a physical pre-disposition to over-respond. Many people who suffer from panic attacks do so because it runs in their family. More than likely it is passed down from the mother or father, or an aunt, uncle or grandparent. The physiological reaction is related to an overly sensitive respiratory system. Holmes says people who suffer from panic attacks have overly sensitive respiratory control systems. The respiratory control system controls breathing, and tells your brain you need more oxygen when carbon dioxide levels are too high in your body. So, when you have high levels of carbon dioxide, the centers in your brain don't just send a message saying, "Hey, you need a little more oxygen; take a deep breath." Instead, the centers over-respond and essentially send a message that says, "YOU'RE SUFFOCATING!" So you panic. WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS? Treatments for panic disorder are highly successful in helping people cope, however there is still no exact cure. The main treatments focus around therapy, behavioral modification and medication. Many psychologists use this approach by employing a type of therapy known as cognitive therapy. Anne Owen, a Lawrence psychologist who specializes in treating people with panic disorder, treats patients using this cognitive approach. Owen explains that her first approach is to "provide education about the biological response and to normalize what is actually occurring in their mind." That is, when the fight-or-flight instinct goes off, people need to learn this is simply what the body does. Her second approach is to teach patients to stop being frightened by the body's systems. In doing so, she encourages her patients to confront situations that may cause a panic attack. She wants people to go to places they might fear, while staying aware of what's happening in their bodies. Awareness of the body's behavior and the ability to modify its reactions are goals of panic disorder treatment. Many therapists work with people to help with overactive body reactions. Jeff Lewis, a licensed specialist clinical social worker in Lawrence, works with a certain type of therapy for patients called biofeedback. Biofeedback is a study of a person's electrodermal response (EDR). EDR is a measure of the skin's response to stress. Lewis hooks up sensors to certain areas of the 10 08 10 09 FEATURE ✩ INS C Panic at the party. The nearly six million American sufferers of panic disorder can find themselves experiencing intense physiological "fight-or-flight" responses; even to apparently everyday and non-stress-inducing situations as simple as hanging out with friends. These attacks plague those with the disorder and there no is complete cure. body that hide stress — normally the hands and sometimes the neck. If the places are cold, there is more of a chance that a person is anxious. The sensors attached to the stress-triggered areas then send the body a sensation that decreases the panic arousal. All the while, the patient is able to watch their levels of stress decrease on a computer screen. Lewis explains it like somebody looking into a mirror: "If you want to make changes, you have to see what you have to change first. You are able to see on a screen what you are changing when working with biofeedback." Medication, another part of panic-disorder therapy, comes in many different forms depending on one's type of anxiety. Patients often have to try out a few before they can find the perfect one that will help their anxiety. Typically, patients who suffer from panic disorder are prescribed to a type of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), such as Prozac, Zoloft or Paxil. These antidepressants are used to level out the serotonin in the patient's brain, which helps increase its "relaxation response." These types of medicine, however, typically take about three weeks to set in. They have to get into the body's system, and evenly distribute throughout one's blood stream. In the meantime, there are other forms of medication known as benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan or Klonopin. These medications are great if you need a "quick fix" or are having a panic attack and need to calm down. Owens warns, however, that they are highly addictive and easily abused. They have a lifespan of about two hours and are easy to abuse because one's body will get used to them. Koch says that her general anxiety grew a lot after her first attack and she still occasionally suffers from them. However, she has been seeing a nurse practitioner and taking medication and is becoming aware of what is actually occurring in her mind. She says that she has good days and some bad days. The bad days are still terrifying. Becoming aware of what is happening in my mind has helped me deal with my disorder. Yes, from time to time I will have a panic attack — probably half the time very discreetly. Regardless, I have come a long way since my first attack. It's been four years now, and that big red panic button ... well, let's just say it now collects dust. Along with Koch, I am taking medication. My doctor has given me Zoloft, and I have learned to cope very well. Phobias that give people panic attacks. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services" Phobias and Panic booklet, these are 10 fears that send people into panic mode. 1. EREMOPHOBIA Fear of being alone 2.

Allergy season in Kansas is a hellish time for some. But one of your most natural reactions to itchy eyes — rubbing them — will only make things worse. Itchy, itchy eyes: It may be tempting to your rub eyes when stricken with seasonal allergies but the immediate relief could lead to permanent damage. Rubbing your itchy eyes causes a far greater allergic reaction, says Lawrence optometrist Aaron Schwindt. Rubbing eyes causes a rupturing of mast cells in the eye, which creates more inflammation and more irritation. In addition to causing more irritation, eve rubbing may cause serious damage. Studies have indicated that continual eye rubbing may cause thinning of the cornea, which can lead to keratoconus. This disease produces a cone-shaped bulge in the middle of the eye after the cornea has thinned. Schwindt says rubbing your eyes gently to remoisturize them isn't bad, it's just aggressively rubbing them that's bad for you. He also says to keep in mind that anything you might pick up on your hands can get into your system. If you don't have any eye drops around to ease the itching, Swindt says to try putting a cool compress over your eyes to soothe them.

But it may actually be better to toss it in the trash. Lemons can also pick up bacteria if they are left sitting for long periods of time. "Sometimes they slice the lemons at three in the afternoon to prepare for the dinner rush," Loving says.

Could the vitamin-packed, once-touted bean actually be hurting your health? Alexis Smith was 13 years old when she started looking for alternative options to the all-American diet. Her love of animals led her to decide to trade in her steak and chicken fingers to become a vegetarian. Needing a new taco-filler after taking the leap, Smith, Olathe junior, eventually added soy products to her diet thinking it would be a healthy protein replacement. New studies, however, are calling into question the believed benefits of eating soy and are actually reporting possible health risks. These risks are causing people to question whether soy is the superfood it's been claimed to be or if there can be too much of a good thing. Despite potential risks, there are definitely benefits to eating soy. One advantage is that soy contains all of the seven essential amino acids, which your body can't produce, making it a complete protein like meat, says Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services with the Wellness Resource Center. Soy products such as tofu, an alternative to meat, have less saturated fat than meat and contain a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which Chapman says are good for the heart. In addition to being a significant source of protein and good fats, soy intake provides calcium, iron and B vitamins, says Marty Glenn, lecturer of sport and exercise sciences. Glenn says studies link soy to potentially raising good cholesterol and helping to prevent osteoporosis by reducing bone loss. To reap the benefits of soy, Smith drinks vanilla soy milk and eats soy yogurt. Her roommate, who is also a vegetarian, regularly makes tofu salad for them, which Smith says is very similar to tuna salad. At a barbeque or cookout, Smith says she has a tofu burger. She says if cooked right and seasoned well (emphasis on the seasoning or else it will be bland), a tofu burger is as good as a hamburger. “It’s a nice option to have and it's still kind of barbeque-like,” Smith says. “And the fact that it has protein is great because it's hard to get protein when you're a vegetarian." Soy products are also commonly consumed by people who are lactose-intolerant. Lauren Swagerty, Topeka senior, drinks soy milk because she is mildly lactose-intolerant, meaning she can eat dairy but her digestive system doesn't properly process the dairy proteins, making eating dairy extremely uncomfortable. As another alternative, she also opts for soy ice cream. Swagerty says soy products are a nice option to have for people who can get sick from eating traditional dairy products. Because she is only mildly lactose-intolerant, Swagerty says she can have small amounts of dairy but actually prefers the sweeter taste of soy milk, especially in her cereal. But recent studies are casting a shadow over the potential benefits of soy. Right now there is a lot of conflicting evidence about the benefits and dangers of a soy-heavy diet, Chapman says. She says studies link eating too much soy to an increase in the risk of breast cancer in women because soy products contain phytoestrogens, chemicals that can imitate the // AMY JOHNSON Britain SOY-MILK Original Britain SOY-MILK Original Britain SOY-MILK Original Britain SOY-MILK Original Britain SOY-MILK Vanilla Britain SOY-MILK Vanilla Britain SOY-MILK Vanilla Britain SOY-MILK Enriched Britain SOY-MILK Enriched 1.39 1.39 1.5 VANILLA Silk SOYMILK ORGANIC VANILLA Silk SOYMILK ORGANIC VANILLA Silk SOYMILK ORGANAL VANILLA Silk SOYMILK ORGANAL SOY DREAM NEW Great Taste!

Soy milk is an option for people who are lactose-intolerant but recent studies show that over-consumption of soy products could lead to damaging health effects, causing some to question the healthfulness of the plant-based products that were once called superfoods. effects of estrogen. High levels of estrogen in the body have been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. There are also possible risks with the consumption of phytoestrogens for men. Glenn says that for men there is some concern that too much soy could lower testosterone levels and sperm count. This stems from a study published in the journal Human Reproduction in 2008 when researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studied the link between phytoestrogens and semen quality. Their findings associated high soy intake with low sperm count. In 2006, an American Heart Association committee reviewed studies on soy's benefits. Its findings show that soy does not reduce symptoms of menopause and does not help with certain types of cancer, as it had once been claimed to do. Following the study the American Heart Association no longer recommends soy as a way to reduce heart disease because study results show soy does not contribute to a significant lowering in cholesterol. Although the evidence can be confusing, Chapman says the summary between the positives and negatives of eating soy is that soy in moderation is a healthy addition to the diet. Chapman recommends having soy around three to four times per week for a good source of protein. For vegetarians she suggests eating peanut butter, seeds and nuts, eggs and dairy as other sources of protein so soy doesn't become a staple in every meal. After reading an article a couple of years ago about the possible risks of soy intake, Swagerty says she is careful about how much soy she eats during a typical week. Before the article, Swagerty had replaced all meat and dairy products with soy products like tofu and soy milk. She now adds chicken and turkey to her diet and eats soy one to two times per week. Smith says she is very cautious about her soy intake. Reading articles about the risks made her aware but she became vigilant about her diet when a friend's mom suffered negative side effects. After switching her diet to only soy products, Smith says her friend's mom began experiencing symptoms of depression. Smith says the woman's mood improved when she cut back on her soy intake. Since then Smith still has soy fairly often but mostly in the form of soy milk and occasionally tofu. In moderation soy can be a healthy addition to a diet. Chapman says that it is a good idea for anyone to cut back on his or her meat consumption and soy is a good substitute. When adding soy into your diet, make sure to be aware of the risks and monitor consumption. 13 HOMECOMING CELEBRATION AT THE KU BOOKSTORES PLEASE GIVE HYDRAWSC.

Though Lawrence is an artsy town, there aren't enough art buyers to support all the local artists, says John Wysocki, director of the Lawrence ArtWalk. That's where the Lawrence Art Walk comes in. Lawrence ART Artwalk Contributed photo Fictional ArtWalk spokesman Arthur Walker leads the way through downtown districts and galleries. Art lovers can get a look at some of the best local artwork and get a view inside local artist studios this weekend. The walking tour of downtown studios and galleries is a way for many Lawrence artists to help get their names out there. Wysocki says. It is now in its 15th year and this year's walk features 40 artists at 21 locations. Art lovers on the tour are able to meet some of the artists and see how they work. The Lawrence ArtWalk features artists working in a wide range of media including paintings, sculptures, jewelry and photography. Some of the featured artists' work will also be shown at Wink Eyewear, 806 Massachusetts St., until October 11. Showcasing art at Wink Eyewear is a good way to help give artists more exposure, says Deb Rake, employee at Wink. The Lawrence ArtWalk will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Rooftop Vigilantes may have started as an experiment, but it's working. The music inspired by protopunk, grungy music of the 1980s and '90s and alcoholic debauchery of the now, is making a successful run through the Lawrence music scene. "It wasn't even supposed to be a band," singer Zach Campbell says. "It was just supposed to be a four-track basement fun thing, but then we started playing shows." The music can vary from older psych-rock, Sonic Youth-like tracks to current indie rock reminiscent of The Get Up Kids. It may not be the type of music that will make you think, but it will make you smile. The members of Rooftop Vigilantes love to have fun and try not to take themselves too seriously, which comes out in the music, bassist Oscar Allen says. He says one of the goals of the band is to capture the in-the-moment aspect of drinking and enjoying the night. But it's not all about booze and beats. Campbell says. It's also about making music with friends. "We don't over-analyze anything, we just try and write really good pop songs and play them loud," Campbell says.

(UNIVERSAL MOTOWN) No doubt one of the most anticipated hip-hop albums of the year, Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon: The End of Day lives up to the hype. After releasing a mixtape and catching the ear of Kanye West, Cudi made a quick jump to stardom, announced a faux-retirement and meanwhile constructed one of the most inventive hip-hop albums of the past couple years. It's a rare thing to hear an artist with such a distinct style on his debut. Cudi is classified as a rapper but he does more singing than anything else here and even his raps are delivered melodically most of the time. Subject-wise, Cudi reaches deeper than most rappers are willing to. He talks about losing his father on "Soundtrack 2 My Life," which features one of the best opening lines I've heard in a while: "I've got 99 problems, and they all bitches." Relentless night terrors, loneliness, love and the pursuit of happiness are other subjects Cudi delves into with genuine feeling. The album's production fits well with these deep, often dark themes. The Ratatat-produced tracks especially shine and MGMT also pops up on "The Pursuit of Happiness," one of the album's highlights. The album is presented as a film with different acts and cheesy narration from rapper Common. If all of this sounds kind of crazy, it is. Cudi is an artist with huge musical ambitions who sets out to accomplish with one record what other artists spend many doing. It's not flawless, but with its combination of interesting subject matter, catchy hooks and unique production it's not one to miss. // DANNY J. SPENCE KJHK ROTATION DJ ★★★☆ KID & CUD: MAN on the MOONLINE END OF THE SUN music review // ISLANDS -'VAPOURS' (ANTI-) KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. A blend of dance tunes and pleasant synthesized rock makes up Islands' new album, Vapours. With a pretty exciting lineup of instruments including the omnichord, mellotron and electric sitar, how can you go wrong? There's a full set of keyboards and a drum machine, but they didn't leave out the traditional rock guitars, bass and acoustic drums. Vapours is really a healthy blend of cheerful electro-pop-rock with a warm summer feeling to it. To me the highlight of the album is the second track — "No You Don't." It's a great, positive dance song and I admit I'm biased towards uncommon instruments, but those light omnichord chords and that electric sito towards the end are just so frickin' cool. As a whole, the album is great. It keeps up momentum until the end and I'd really recommend any of the tracks on the album. ☆ ☆ ☆ ADAM RYDELL KJHK ROTATION DJ kjhk charts // WEEK OF OCT. 5 The 15 most played albums on KJHK's new music rotation shows as of Oct. 5. 1 YO LA TENGO Popular Songs (Matador) 2 RAINBOW ARABIA Kabukimono (Manual Vinyl) 3 BROTHER ALI Us (Rhymesayers) 4 WHY?

Whether you have an early-morning hankering for an omelet, or want to pick from a vast selection of baked goods, Wheatfields Bakery and Café will satisfy even the hungriest breakfast seeker. Tucked behind Massachusetts Street at 904 Vermont St., Wheatfields offers a tranquil environment and an extensive menu to suit all breakfast lovers. Also offering lunch and a seasonal dinner menu, Wheatfields will be sure to please with its wide variety of menu offerings. Wheatfields serves food all day, but its specialty is breakfast. I dined on the biscuits and gravy, quiche and the whole grain Wheatfields Waffle. The fare proved to be a perfect combination between grandma's home cooking and Lawrence-style health consciousness. If you're not an early bird, Wheatfields lunch and dinner options are equally as scrumptious. And the atmosphere offers additional appeal — the gourmet coffee and window-side seating beg students to linger for a morning study session. The price tag on most menu items seems slightly high, but portions are large enough to compensate. Wheatfields lives up to its reputation as the local go-to for gourmet breakfast, sandwiches and salads. Stop in for a loaf of fresh baked bread, or drag yourself out of bed in pursuit of a Wheatfields Saturday brunch. If not ground-breaking, Wheatfields cuisine will certainly not disappoint.

But despite all of this, Capitalism: A Love Story is still an important even essential film that deserves public attention from both sides of the aisle. In many ways, it's the most No one could ever accuse Michael Moore of subtlety. His latest documentary, *Capitalism: A Love Story*, functions as both scathing corporate takedown and bleak rumination on the future of free enterprise in America. It contains just about everything we've come to expect from the portly provocateur, from the faux-reassuring narration to the usual darkhorse parade of grandiose stunts and skillfully edited interviews. bi-partisan statement of Moore's career. He blames almost everyone in the U.S. government for bowing to the bailout and contributing to our current recession. He paints the Republicans as fearmongering pit bulls and the Democrats as lilly-livered bagmen who blindly believe that democracy and capitalism are inexorably bound. Neither party is given an ounce of quarter from the ham-fisted furor of Moore, who seems to delight in his newfound role as equal-opportunity offender. Like Sicko and Fahrenheit 9/11 before it, the movie is often exceedingly clever. The opening credit sequence convincingly compares our country's decadence to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Other highlights include Moore attempting to make a citizen's arrest of the entire AIG board and wrapping yellow crime-scene tape around the perimeter of Wall Street itself. However, all this fun but futile grand-standing would feel unearned if it weren't for the movie's more poignant moments. Sometimes Moore will stop short in his blustering long enough for us to hear from the real victims of corporate greed, such as the blue collar family being forced off their ancestral farm or the widower whose wife's life insurance was cashed in by her Wal-Mart employers as part of their self-described "dead peasants" program. Watching Moore's elderly father, a laid-off auto worker, tour the ruins of the General Motors plant in Flint, Mich., is a painful lesson in what only the most heartless among us could call progress. In a movie so full of righteous sound and fury, these moments of thoughtful silence speak loudest of all. // LANDON MCDONALD MICHAEL MOORE CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY OCTOBER 2 Mango tan $25 Monthy Unlimited {level 1 beds only} new customers will receive on occasion Tanning DESIGNER SKIN Australian Gold week FREE 10% off any service ALL THE TIME with student ID Lowest Prices Guaranteed|Free Estimates Diagnostics, Oil & Lube, Transmissions, Brakes, A/C, Steering, Suspension & more 10 08 09 18 Midwest Auto Diagnostics & Repair 1705 Haykirk Ave, Suite B 785.856.3240 SPEAK 1 GROWING UP an ONLY CHILD ALEXANDRA GORDON How I learned being an only child could give me a different perspective on growing up. //VALERIE SKUBAL Sass, but no siblings: Writer Valerie Skubal hated being an only child in an over-protective family when she was very young but eventually came to find her independence. My friends said it as if it was something negative. "You don't act like an only child." People often assume only children have been spoiled and given the world during the whole of their young lives. Sure, I could've had less in my life, but I wouldn't say I've been spoiled. My parents wanted to make sure I appreciated what I had. Though, to them, my huge, messy room was a sign of ungratefulness, I never felt entitled. When I was little I never gave any thought to how it could be negative to be an only child. I only knew that I was lonely because I didn't have anyone to keep me company. I had my dogs but they were never enough. And my parents were always busy when I needed someone to be Ken to my Barbie. I managed to keep myself company doing things that I liked with my imagination, such as re-enacting Disney scenes or singing along with classic rock songs on the radio. My parents were overly protective throughout my young life — I just didn't know it. I, for all I knew, just wasn't allowed to ride with my friends in the back of their parents' pick-ups. But as I grew older and I was invited out more, I realized being an only child wasn't going to be easy. Having an older sibling seemed to make my friends' lives easier. There were already mistakes made by the older brother or sister to prepare parents for the next one. I thought my life was harder than it would be if I had some punk for an older sibling. If only I had a bad older sibling, my parents could see how much of a good kid I was compared with all of my other friends. During my sophomore year of high school after all of my friends were getting their licenses and they wanted to take me somewhere, there was always an interrogation process. They had to meet my dad and get a talk while they walked to the dog pen in the backyard. I'd always apologize for him but I'd never ask what he said. I can only imagine that it was an empty threat about not harming his "baby girl." By the time I was driving I had had enough. I was the only one of my friends who had an 11 p.m. curfew. Suddenly, I had to battle with my parents to branch out as my teenage self. Why couldn't I go to that party? Why couldn't I see a late movie? It seemed like everyone I knew had developed a level of trust with their parents that I hadn't yet. But I hadn't done anything to betray their trust — I never got a bad grade. I never got speeding tickets and I never stayed out past curfew. Before college I sucked it up and asked my parents if I could go to Colorado on a road trip I would be staying with my best friend's family and with close friends. My dad said no; he knew that either I would get in trouble or someone else would do it for me. So when my friends came back in one piece I got to hear of the fun they had. At the end of my freshman year at the University, I decided I wanted to study abroad. I decided Kent University in Canterbury, England, would be the perfect castle town for me to make new friends and escape. "Val-ree, if you get your arm blown off, it's gone forever," my dad said after I told him of my plans, as if I were traveling to an active war zone. It was difficult for me to argue any more and my dad didn't listen to me when I cried, so I gave up. I was too scared to ask anymore and passed up other study abroad opportunities and road trips the next year. My sophomore year was the last straw. I was living in my own apartment and felt independent I decided — instead of asking — I would just tell my dad I was going to go to Colorado this time. Miraculously he said that was OK. Though I had to call at every stop I made, I finally felt free. It just got easier from then on. My dad appeared to have had a change of heart and I wasn't about to question it. I must've gained his trust when I didn't screw up the first time I was let loose. He stopped asking questions and assuming that I was going to do something stupid. From that point on, he trusted my judgment. I don't miss the opportunities I've passed up anymore. I just look ahead at what I'm going to do with the moral support of my parents. As much as I hated being an only child during my teenage years, I've realized that it's helped shape me. I was forced to grow up quickly and obtain all of the wisdom of someone who had seen everything without actually seeing it for myself. I'm always looking out for my friends and being responsible for others. I instinctively stay away from harmful situations and I have my parents' influence to thank for that. Though I still may not always share well with others, I've learned to appreciate my freedom and my parents at the same time. I always thought that they didn't have any more kids because they were afraid of having "another me," but when I asked, my mom would always respond the same: "We didn't think we could get as lucky as we did with you."

Matt Reineman, a securities and IT specialist at Weaver's Department store on Massachusetts St., said the store has seen an increase in shoplifting because of the economic recession. Not present at this store, however, are the metal detectors or ink-release counter measures popular with other deep attentive stores. Stealing provides natural high Much shoplifting is done for a thrill, not out of actual need BY ANNA ARCHIBALD archibald@koncon.com Willey never expected to be caught. He said he went to Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., in summer 2008 with a friend to get house painting supplies. After shopping around for a while, Willey stuffed a can of bug spray in his jeans pocket. "I didn't want to pay for the shit," said Willey, a 20-year-old Lawrence native who did not want to disclose his last name. "I bought something and walked out, but since my pants were a little tight, they noticed." "I ran," Willey said. "Security followed me into the wetlands, but I knew as soon as I heard they were bringing dogs out to search that I was fucked, so I turned myself in." He denied the claim, but after a few minutes, he decided to return the bug spray. But, as he was handling the Wal-Mart employee his driver's license, he became nervous. Willey said Wal-Mart employees followed him out of the store, saying, "Excuse me, sir, can we talk to you? We know you have stuff under your shirt." Willey said he hadn't thought twice about shoplifting. He said he had been stealing since he was According to a study by the National Association of Shoplifting Prevention, 89 percent of teenagers reported knowing someone who shoplifts. NASP studies also said 55 percent of people who shoplift regularly started when they were teenagers. a high school freshman, even though monetarily it had never been necessary. "It's kind of a rush to know that you could get caught, I guess," he said. According to a National Retail Security Survey, shoplifting costs retailers an estimated $10 billion every year.

Resiliency, she said, is the ability of children to survive traumatic events and still live relatively normal lives. The grant will fund Jackson's SPARK project, Studying Pathways of Adaptation and Resilience in Kids, for the next five years. Researchers will have unprecedented access to Jackson County, Mo., foster children who have endured abuse. To secure permission to include the foster children in the research project, researchers had to work closely with the Missouri state government. The nature of the children's abuse is strictly protected by confidentiality laws. Jackson, a professor of applied behavioral science and clinical child psychology for 15 years, said she had noticed that all children react differently to trauma. The children will visit Jackson's lab in two-hour sessions once every three months. The children will sit at computers and answer questions asked to them through headphones about what strategies they use to cope with difficult situations. "It became a question to me," she said. "Why do some kids respond differently? Why do some kids have something horrible happen to them and fall apart, as we would expect, and why are some fine?" Sarah Beals-Erickson, Olathe graduate student and research assistant for the project, said the researchers wanted to make the lab atmosphere as welcoming as possible. "Because we're asking so many questions, we're gonna have snacks. We're gonna try to have games and breaks for them to play," she said. index SEE GRANT ON PAGE 3A Classifieds...7A Opinion...5A Crossword...4A Sports...10A Horoscopes...4A Sudoku...4A All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2009 The University Daily Kansan UCLA student stabbed during chemistry lab A woman had her throat slashed yesterday during class.

Little said. According to the NASP, studies show the rush and impulse of stealing something and not being caught, called kleptomania, is the most common shoplifting motivator. "I know the mentality," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the University Public Safety Office. "It's not a very common occurrence on campus, but it does happen more often elsewhere." "There's always a thrill of getting caught, but I never have." For Sam, Lawrence junior, shoplifting began at age 5. He was on a trip to the grocery store with his mother. While at the checkout counter he spotted a pack of Bubblicious gum. Quietly, he stuck the gum in his pocket and left the store, unnoticed. Once home his luck ended. SAM Lawrence junior "My mom saw it and made me take it back," said Sam, who did not want to provide his last name. Ever since the bubblegum incident Sam said he has become a regular shoplifter. "It usually a split-second decision," he said. "There's always a thrill of getting caught, but I never have." SHOPLIFTING PREVENTION METHODS To minimize shoplifting losses, every store has its own method of preventing shoplifting. Larger chains, such as Wal-Mart and Kohl's, put signs up warning customers of the possible consequences of theft. Smaller stores have a less con- clubs have a less confrontational way of dealing with suspected shoplifters. Rita York, General Manager of The Community Mercantile, a health food store on Ninth and Iowa Streets, said when employees suspected someone of shoplifting, they monitored them closely and, as suggested by the police department, would write the shoplifter a letter. "We can't accuse somebody of shoplifting unless we're 100 percent positive and until after they have passed the point of purchase," York said. "When we do suspect someone, we write them a letter and hand it to them and say 'We're uncomfortable with your shopping patterns, you are no longer allowed to shop here.'" York also said to prevent theft, The Merc has increased customer service and floor coverage and encourages engagement with customers so they know they are being watched. CENTRAL JOURNAL According to a National Retail Security Survey, retailers lose an estimated $10 billion every year. The National Association of Shoplifting Prevention states that 89 percent of teenagers know somebody who shoplifts. "The most common items people shoplift are vitamins and meat," York said. "Things that are more expensive." Sam, however, said he tried not to steal things that were worth too much or to steal from local stores whose profits could be hurt by his actions. He said that as long as he continued to shoplift, he would probably get caught. Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSAN "I don't shoplift that often," he said. "And when I do, I don't take anything worth more than a couple dollars." CONSEQUENCES OF SHOPLIFTING Every merchant has his own way of dealing with shoplifting. The Merc, for example, bans shoplifters from the store and charges them for trespassing if they return. Corporations such as Wal-Mart and Dillon's refused to discuss their shoplifting policies, simply saying, "consequences vary based on the situation." Little said there was a range of possible ramifications for shoplifting. $7 is deducted from their fine Little said there were also alternatives for being arrested and fined. Sometimes an offender can pay off a fine by doing community service. For each hour they work, "It's hard to say there's a typical," Little said of punishments. "If someone stole a pack of gum or a television it'll turn out differently." "Through diversion you are never convicted," Little said. "You sign a contract with prosecutors office and pay a diversion fee of $352. Then you have to go to a theft class for a day." $/ is deducted from their line. A diversion program is also available for those who don't want the crime on their records. A representative from Heartland Medical Clinic in Lawrence said theft classes required each participant to complete three one-hour sessions. The sessions provide individual cognitive counseling to address "errors in thinking," empathy for others and values. After Willey was caught for shoplifting at Wal-Mart, he decided to go through with the diversion program. "I had to borrow money from my mom to get a lawyer and go to court," Willey said. "At that point, I felt like they were stealing money from me." Willey said that since getting caught, he hasn't shoplifted. If Wille were to shoplift again and get caught he could face jail time, a fine and a possible felony charge, all depending on the item stolen. "It felt so surreal." Willey said. "I'd shoplift a lot before and never gotten caught. It wasn't worth what I had to go through afterwards." Edited by Megan Morriss GOVERNMENT University's veterans wait for benefits to arrive at KU BY BETH BEAVERS bbeavers@kansan.com The first semester for the Post-9/11 GI Bill has been a bumpy one. According to the Veterans Administration, veterans with at least 90 days of active duty after September 11, 2001 are eligible to receive benefits that include tuition, fees, housing and text books. The Post-9/11 GI Bill opened up these benefits to 25,000 veterans, according to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. Felix Zacharias, Wichita senior and President of the KU Collegiate Veterans Association, said the VA, which is in charge of processing and printing the benefit checks, was not prepared to deal with the number of veterans who applied. "The VA had an infrastructure in place," Zacharias said. "They were having 2,500 applicants a day but were still running on the old system with no new operators." enough cash to get through a few weeks." Zacharias said the VA announced on Aug. 20 there would be a six to eight week delay for the checks, which average about $1,400 a month for full-time students. "It doesn't sound that bad," he said. "But some veterans only had Daniel Craig, St. Joseph, Mo. freshman and treasurer of KU Collegiate Veterans Association, said veterans expected to come to college and begin receiving the payments immediately. But when they didn't, they began complaining.

"But there is a community-based outreach clinic here in Lawrence that accesses the same information." "It was a problem because a lot of veterans had no way to get there," Craig said. "And a lot of guys just can't afford to miss classes." Craig said the VA originally offered transportation from VA medical centers to the regional office in Wichita. However, when he called the hospital in Topeka, they knew nothing about the situation or providing transportation. Zacharias said student groups across the country had been contacting their congressmen to find a After fighting for a week to get the emergency checks brought to the University's 300 veterans, the VA opened up an on-line application process on Oct. 2. Craig said the on-line applications would be processed immediately and the veterans should receive their check within six or seven days of applying. logical solution to the problem. Zacharias said he knew of some veterans at the University that had applied and already received their emergency checks.

ODD NEWS Couple arrested for conduct at McDonald's GRANT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Christine Galipeau of Quincy and Eugene Jackson of Boston have pleaded innocent to assault and battery in the Tuesday incident. QUINCY, Mass. — A Massachusetts couple are accused of hurling coins and safety cones at McDonald's cashiers in Quincy when they didn't get enough french fries. "The idea is to make it as pleasant as possible. We definitely don't want it to be an unpleasant experience." Jackson hopes to test two competing theories of resiliency: The first theory emphasizes the amount of resources available to the children, and the second emphasizes the context of the traumatic event and how the child interprets the event. "We can't stop kids from being traumatized, that's like trying to stop them from getting their hearts broken," she said. "The idea is that because we can't stop trauma from happening, we surely should be good then, or better, at helping them recover from it."

HARPAZ Associated Press "This is a wakeup call for the hotel industry," said Peter Greenberg, author of "Hotel Secrets from the Travel Detective" and CBS travel editor. Court papers say Michael D. Barrett requested and received a hotel room adjacent to ESPN reporter Erin Andrews at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University. Barrett then allegedly jimmed the peephole of Andrews' hotel door, shot the videos and uploaded them to the Internet. Reporter's stalking case reveals problems with room requests NEW YORK—The hotel industry is reexamining guest privacy safeguards in light of the case of an ESPN reporter who was videotaped nude through the peephole of her hotel room door, allegedly by a man who reserved an adjacent room. Until now, requests for adjacent rooms have been handled inconsistently throughout the hotel industry. If you ask for a room next to another guest, some hotels will call the other guest for consent, but many will simply go ahead and book it without confirming with the other party. "There is no consistent policy within individual brands or across the industry," said John Burns, president of Hospitality Technology mon from extended families, tour participants and individuals traveling together for work or conventions. "It would not be unusual for a guest who affirmatively seems to know that another guest is registered to ask to be placed adjacent or near another guest and for that request to be honored," said Bjorn Hansen, a professor at New York University's Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management. Joe McInerney, CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association, confirmed that his organization "sent an advisory to our members asking them to Consulting in Scottsdale, Ariz. "It is in the hotel industry's cultural DNA to attempt to satisfy guests' 'adjacent room' or 'connecting room' requests." focus on this issue, I expect that policies related to handling this request are under consideration both at the property and brand level." Such requests are not uncom- PETER GREENBERG CBS travel editor SAN FRANCISCO But Burns said "given the recent review all their guest privacy procedures and all of their security procedures to make sure their staff are doing everything they should be doing" "Every chain, regardless of size, is going to use this to reevaluate their procedures and whether or not they feel like the peepholes in their rooms are adequate and tamperproof. It's all going to be on the table now," said Walt Baker, CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality Network, to stop peeping toms. An online company called PeepHole Security reported a recent surge of inquiries about interior covers for peepholes, including orders from individuals, hotels, and motels. Another issue raised by the ESPN stalking is how ESPN's Erin Andrews reports a college football game. Her stalking case has caused the hotel industry to reexamine its guest privacy policies. which represents about 350 hotels around the state. Bloggers and others posting online about the case suggest that travelers — especially women staying in hotels alone — smear Vaseline on the inside lens of pep holes to prevent anyone from looking in. Greenberg says there's an even simpler solution: Put a piece of duct tape over the inside of the peephole.

EDITORIAL BOARD Off-campus lighting will increase safety The lighting on the streets between campus and downtown Lawrence is insufficient, and action is finally being taken to fix this problem. The City of Lawrence and Student Senate should be applauded for taking a step in the right direction. Mark Thiel, assistant public works director, said that the City of Lawrence has partnered up with Student Senate to add pedestrian pathways to this highly trafficked area, but that the project is "still in the planning process." Elise Higgins, com- An indirect goal of this project would be to repair the sidewalks, Higgins said, but this would depend on the cost of the light installation. Thiel said the city's involvement in sidewalk repair depends on whether the repairs were on or off campus. KANSAN'S OPINION Elise Higgins, community affairs director for Student Senate, said the lights would be about three feet high and would be close to or on the sidewalk. Higgins also said the lights are "hardy because they don't create light pollution." Lawrence Public Works is currently conducting a review of specific streets including 14th Street from Louisiana to Massachusetts Streets and 11th Street from Louisiana to Massachusetts Streets. They are looking to see how many repairs need to be made and how much they will cost. Higgins also said the pathways might be extended on Vermont Street. In a meeting last week, Higgins said the project gained support from the Oread Neighborhood A meeting will be held Nov. 11; Thiel said the city will present concept ideas and Higgins said the cost of the project would be announced. Representatives, the Greek Community, the All Scholarship Hall Council and the Oread Hotel. The GaDuGi SafeCenter also joined the project. The project is applying for a Community Development Grant through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in December for added funding. Higgins said they are "also looking at using some money from the Campus Safety Advisory Board, which is part of Student Senate." These two resources should not hesitate to give their money to this project. Right now Higgins is working Emily Moser, Kansas City, Kan., junior, who lives on Tennessee Street, said that when she walks home at night she feels unsafe both because of the lack of lighting and the recent attacks in the area. "Street lighting is a productive step to creating a safer downtown, which contributes to a reduction of attacks." Moser said. No time frames have been established for the project so far, but Thiel said that input from the student body would be crucial. He said it's important to know which streets students frequent the most when walking from campus to downtown to determine which streets are in most need of lighting. EDITORIAL CARTOON Student Senate and the City of Lawrence are doing the right thing by working toward increasing safety in the area. Lighting is a crucial part of this process, and the sooner it is improved the better. Students should contact their student senators to show support for this endeavor, and urge them to make this a priority in their agenda.

NICHOLAS SAMBALUK POLITICS Liberalism versus conservativism Are liberals and conservatives actually pursuing disagreements? Do our political parties just pick the opposite side of an argument in order to have the opportunity to pick up political points? Call me naive, but I say no. I think there is a deep-seated difference between the two ideological camps — a broad difference that comes way before we debate issues such as the economy, the environment or health care. This fundamental difference comes from where we believe our rights originate. The more mention of religion makes the secular left fidgety, especially when the case is made that the United States is defined by Judeo-Christian ethics. It is no secret that many left-wing leaders and the mainstream media have sought to change this perception. Those on the political left see power residing in an omnipotent, central government. This government is what loans rights to its people. The political right wing, on the other hand, believes our Creator is the most powerful. It is our Creator who grants "we the people" our rights. Then the people loan their sovereign power to the government. THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON In a 2007 speech, President Barack Obama said that "Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation." Earlier this year, the left-wing magazine Newsweek ran a cover story titled "The Decline and Fall of Christian America." But there is no denying America's religious roots. Religion was very much a part of America's founding. The Declaration of Independence states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Again, America was founded on the belief that our rights were granted to us by our Creator, not our government. Our constitution safeguards the liberty of the people and places limits on the government, not the other way around. So what does this all mean? Why does this disagreement about where our rights come from make such a big difference in our feelings on issues such as the economy, the environment and health care? It's very simple. The left believes the government comes before the individual and the right believes the individual comes before the government. This is the crux of ideological differences in U.S. politics. This is the reason the left and right disagree on how to better govern the country. Compton is a Wichita senior in political science. Former President Ronald Reagan said it best: "I know there have been other constitutions ... most of them contain many of the same guarantees as our own, and still there is a difference. The difference is so subtle that we often overlook it, but it is so great that is tells the whole story. Those other constitutions say, 'Government grants you these rights' but ours says 'you are born with these rights, they are yours by the grace of God, and no government on earth can take them from you.'" Liberals have long claimed to be the voice of the downtrodden and powerless, but it is the conservatives who fight for the smallest minority of all — the individual. Continued belief in the power of the unabridged human spirit is America's greatest asset. That's the right idea. NUTRITION Smart choices today lead to healthy life We've heard them all college is a journey; the greatest lessons learned are those outside of the classroom; opportunity lingers around every corner. That is why, possibly more than any other time of life, it is critical to make health-conscious choices in college. Simply integrating routines into life now makes it easier to maintain a healthy body in the future. But with all clichés aside, I digress. The real point is that college is a time of self-definition, where relationships are developed, career paths pursued and habits formed. Unfortunately, health takes a backseat all too often. This doesn't have to be the case. Beneficial habits can fit into a schedule otherwise packed with studying, time with friends and occasional fast food. Not convinced of the significance that decisions made now have on the rest of life? That isn't surprising. College students are infamous for procrastination. I'll even argue in favor of occasional deference — other than the freshness of the printer ink, what is the difference between a paper written today and one written tomorrow? Yet — for the sake of the metaphor — postponing healthy choices is like waiting to complete a major assignment until the last minute, only to realize it was due yesterday. While professors may be sweet-talked into providing extra time, excuses do not apply to lifestyle choices. Sorry, but saying, "My dog ate my running shoes" is not particularly effective in warding off diabetes or lung cancer. There are no magic pills or instant fixes in the pursuit of healthfulness. It requires awareness and self-accountability. But healthful habits don't necessitate sacrifice. PURSUIT OF HEALTHFULNESS EMILY MCCOY Once little habits are tackled, it is time to take on bigger obstacles. Issues vary from person to person, so self-reflection is necessary in determining what to address. From that point, break down larger goals into smaller, manageable habits. Strugglimg with a diet? Attempt to eat a good breakfast and avoid processed foods. Exercise? Find an enjoyable activity, be it dance or rock-climbing. Mental health? Take time to slow down and think positively. Eventually, small successes add up to a healthier body, without ever having felt the burden of sacrifice. On the path to a healthier life, you will face challenges. It is natural to fall off the wagon or realize that some goals aren't realistic. No denying it, "Sunrise Yoga" isn't for everyone. Failing at one habit is no excuse to throw all positive routines aside. Count the completion of every goal big or small — as an achievement. Ultimately, healthy habits aren't about being seen at the gym or impressing friends. They are about committing to the pursuit of a long, active and enjoyable life. Besides, being "the hottie" at the 20-year high school reunion won't hurt. McCoy is a Lincoln, Neb., sophomore in journalism. LETTER TO Leave gay rights to the courts LETTER TO THE EDITOR I think it's remarkable how reliant some individuals are on executive power to "change" laws, as Dan Thompson said in his column, "Gay Rights Deserve More Attention." I certainly agree that equal rights are important, but what is President Barack Obama going to do? First, it's important to understand that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) does not "prevent the federal government from recognizing gay marriages." It says no state needs to recognize a same-sex marriage from another state, which is such a clear and, frankly, stupid contradiction to the Privileges and Immunities Clause in Article IV, Section II of the U.S. Constitution. If a state refuses to recognize the marriage of another state, that couple is taxed at a discriminatory rate and denied the equal protection of laws. Second, the executive branch does not make the laws. The President has the power to "carry out" and "faithfully execute" the laws. Thus, it is futile' to place such responsibility on the president. Third, Obama is a politician, and his motives are in favor of public support and votes. In case anyone missed the phenomenal vice presidential debate of 2008, Joe Biden, who spoke directly for the views of Obama, concurred with Sarah Palin's statement that she "only supports a traditional marriage between a man and a woman." Obama is going to stand for the position of the common voter, not the minority. Gay marriage should not be "left up to the states," as Thompson suggested. Instead, it is an issue that must be heard by the courts, overturned in states with laws to the contrary of that judgment and enforced by the executive.

ROWING THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2009 1750 Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas strives to stay ahead of the competition in the 2009 Big 12 Rowing Championship. The Jayhawks took 3rd place, behind only Kansas state and Texas. Kansas looks to even score with state rivals This time Kansas rowing is looking to avenge. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com As the队 heads west to Manhattan for the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday at Tuttle Creek Lake, it has extra motivation to win this weekend's race against Kansas State. The last time these two teams met, Kansas led 8-4 going into the final race day of the fight for the Kansas Cup. But Kansas State's first Varsity Eight boat prevailed in the end, as Kansas suffered a 12-8 defeat. "I think the rivalry definitely carries over," senior Katie Beall said "There's a neck-and-neck attitude." Coming off an impressive weekend in Oklahoma, Kansas sees breakdown proof and poised to again challenge its cross-state foe. "We've picked up right where we left off from prior seasons, whereas before it seemed like we've had to start over," senior Brittany Belford said. "We've just got to keep striving for more." Experience is essential to the success of this year's team. Comfort on the water helped Kansas succeed right off the bat last weekend. "We went out in eights right off and picked it up like we never dropped it off." Belford said of the weekend's races. "You can't really judge performance yet, because not everyone is training the same," coach Rob Catloth said. Fall is only a small portion of the rowing team's schedule. But this weekend, when the crimson and blue clash with the rivaled royal purple, it won't look like just another fall match-up. However it's still so early in the season that the team's main goal has been getting solid races from the team as a whole and building from there. "It could go either way," Beall said. "Everyone has to have their best race to beat them."

Kansas to play ranked Iowa State BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team will face No. 14 Iowa State at 6:30 p.m. this Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. Kansas (9-6, 2-4) has been undefeated at home in Big 12 Conference play and is 4-1 overall at home this season. Iowa State's (13-3, 5-2) only losses have come against Top 25 opponents this season. The team needs to keep working on endgame situations and work harder in practice in order to correct these problems, Bechard said. Coach Ray Bechard said Kansas needs to stop sitting back waiting for something to happen and make something happen themselves. "We got to put pressure on ourselves to compete in the gym when it's just us," Bechard said. While Kansas lost to Nebraska, Kansas was competitive in the match. and "Being that close, I think it shows we have the talent and the skill, and confidence going into the Iowa State game.

SWIMMING AND DIVING Jayhawks' intrasquad meet to showcase squad rivalry BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com At the beginning of the year, the team divided into two squads: crimson and blue. These squads have clashed in intense match-ups of ultimate frisbee, various diving events and other events throughout the year. The Kansas swimming and diving team will continue its yearlong competition today at the intrasquad swim meet. Swimming and diving coaches Clark Campbell, Eric Elliot and Jen Fox won't participate in the competition and will serve solely as spectators and officials. The athletes will switch roles with their coaches and assign themselves to their own events. This task gives the swimmers and divers a chance to examine the strengths of the other squad members and decide which of their squad members best matches up against them. strengths," said Carrah Haley, senior team captain and crimson squad member. "I could look at the blue team and know who they're going to put in any one event." "You know each other's Placing themselves into their own events allows the members of the swimming and diving team an intriguing glimpse of what their coaches do on a daily basis. "It's neat to see how Clark looks at a meet," said Joy Bunting, junior team captain and blue squad member. "Now it's our turn to look at it and say, 'Okay, who should we put in here?' "It's going to be a really competitive meet, but it'll be fun," Haley said. As the score stands now, the crimson squad leads the blue squad by a total of 12 points to eight points. With four points up for grabs during the intrasquad meet, the stage is set for an intense struggle as the blue squad attempts to even the score with its crimson counterpart. The altered set-up of the meet "This meet we get to see more of our 100-yard speed and longer events," Campbell said. "We get to see who our best swimmers are in those events." also gives Campbell and his staff a unique opportunity to decide which events to place swimmers in for upcoming meets. Campbell said he and his staff would use the meet to help determine the team's relay members for the Big 12 relays held on Oct. 16 in Columbia, Mo. On top of relay placement, this intrasquad meet will also allow the coaches to see how their swimmers stack up in longer events. The alumni meet held on Sept. 18 didn't allow them this opportunity because it primarily consisted of shorter events.

The Cowboys will play in Kansas City Sunday. IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo learned from Troy Aikman that it's not always "lollipops and chocolates and fun times" for the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. C ASSOCIATED PRESS These days, Romo's chats with former quarterbacks amount to therapy while he endures talk that he's gone from an undisciplined turnover machine to a conservative handoff fiend who misses receivers when he does throw. Or talk that he didn't know it was fourth down before the final end zone incompletion in Sunday's 17-10 loss at Denver. Or three-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady second-guessing his frequent passes in the direction of Pro Bowl Denver cornerback Champe Bailey last weekend On Thursday, Romo said those chats help since the quarterbacks tell him their time was no bed of roses, either. “There’s a lot of hard work and effort and a lot of people beating you down,” Romo said Thursday, surrounded by cameras and recorders at his locker. “You have to have a stronger belief in yourself than the disbelief of others." Heading to winless Kansas City on Sunday, the Cowboys are 2-1 when critics figured they would have to be 3-1 or 4-0 to have a chance to end a 13-year stretch without a playoff victory, the longest in franchise history. 1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ PUBLIC AUCTION EX-US CUSTOMS SEIZURE USA AT: STATE GOVERNMENT FACILITY SHIPMENT RELEASED TO JOIN OTHER ROLLS OF PERSIAN CAUCASIAN & TURKISH CARPETS & RUNNERS Classification: Tabriz, Kashan, Qum, Isfahan, Bidjar, Long hall Runners, Pure Silk Rugs, Sarouk, Hamadan, Heriz, Classic Tribal Rugs, Etc.

The Phillies' Carlos Ruiz was out at first. Rockies beat Phillies 5-4 BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels isn't going to breeze through this postseason. Yorvit Torrealba hit a two-run homer, Aaron Cook pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday to even their NL playoff series at a game apiece. Huston Street pitched out of trouble in the ninth to secure the win for Colorado. He retired Shane Victorino on a soft liner to second to leave the potential tying run — Game 1 winner Cliff Lee — at second base. Hamels, the World Series and NLCS MVP last year, looked nothing like the guy who was so dominant during Philadelphia's championship run last October. The left-hander allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. He didn't stick around after departing, rushing off to be with his wife, Heidi, who was in labor with the couple's first child. The best-of-five series shifts to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday. Jason Hammel (10-8) will start for the wild-card Rockies against a yet-to-be-announced pitcher. The Phillies could use Joe Blanton, J.A. Happ or Pedro Martinez. Blanton pitched one inning in relief, allowing a run. Happ faced one batter and got knocked out of the game when Seth Smith hit a hard liner off the lower part of his left leg. X-rays on Happ's leg were negative. Making his third start since a shoulder strain sidelined him for most of September, Cook allowed three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The right-handed sinkerballer got 12 of his 15 outs on grounders or strikeouts. After Lee turned in a masterful performance in his playoff debut Wednesday, the Phillies were counting on Hamels to give them a commanding 2-0 series lead. But Hamels hasn't been the same pitcher since going 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts last year. He was 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA this year, and now is 0-7 in day games. The Phillies are trying to become the first repeat champions since the New York Yankees won three World Series in a row from 1998-2000. No NL team has done it since the Cincinnati Reds in 1975-76. For the second straight day, the Phillies had the largest crowd in the six-year history of Citizens Bank Park. There were 46,528 fans packed in the ballpark, waving their white-and-red "Fightin' Phils" towels. NFL Hearing to address suspensions BY FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press 94 93 WASHINGTON - The House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to conduct a hearing next month on the case of two professional football players whose suspensions were blocked by a federal appeals court. Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., is concerned that the legal issues raised in the case "could result in weaker performance-enhancing drugs policies for professional sports," the committee said in a statement issued to The Associated Press Thursday. The committee provided the statement after the AP reported the hearing, citing two people with knowledge of the committee plans. The two spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hearing had not yet been announced. The NFL had attempted to suspend Minnesota Vikings Pat Williams and Kevin Williams four games each for violating the league's anti-doping policy. Congress plans to conduct a hearing next month on Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams, whose suspensions were blocked by a federal appeals court. The players were suspended for four games for violating the NFL's anti-dru Poly rule. But the players sued, arguing that the NFLs testing violated state workplace laws. A federal judge issued an injunction blocking the order, which was upheld last month by a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision troubled the NFL and professional sports leagues, which expressed concern about players being subjected to different standards depending on their state. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said after the ruling that the NFL was considering its next step, which could include an appeal, a trial in state court, or taking the issue to Congress. Subsequently, the league was granted more time to file documents asking the court to reconsider the suspensions. The league wants to suspend the Williamses, who are not related, for testing positive for a banned substance during training camp in 2008. They acknowledge taking the over-the-counter weight loss supplement StarCaps, which did not state on the label that it contained the diuretic bumetanide. The diuretic is banned by the NFL because it can mask the presence of steroids; the players are not accused of taking steroids. The league argued it should be allowed to enforce its drug policy because it was a product of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement with the players union. The agreement is governed by federal labor law, which they argued preempted state law. The state law in Minnesota mandates that an employer give an employee who tests positive for drug use the right to explain the positive test.

"We haven't been tested by a Big 12 opponent yet," Reagan said. "There's a long way left to go." Before each snap, Kansas' offensive line conducts an on-field breakdown of the opposing defense. Heads turn toward one another, fingers point to defenders and then the line gets set for the upcoming play. More so than any position, the offensive line's centerpiece of success is communication. The position, by nature, demands so. "We haven't been tested by a Big 12 opponent yet. There's a long way left to go." "There is nowhere else on the field where five guys play foot to foot and your success might depend on the guy next to you," coach Mark Mangino said. "That's a pretty close-knit position on the field." But when the pocket is no longer intact — or when Reesing decides to move around — the foot-to-foot idea is tossed aside. The scramble develops into a free-for-all for linemen. John Reagan Offensive line coach --- Reagan insists that the idea — for linemen to maintain their blocks until the whistle blows — is taught at all schools. And surely he's right. an important part of the offense's success? Both current and former players said that linemen must strictly adhere to that code when playing in front of Reesing. But with how many other teams does the cliché prove to be such They said it's a major part of the job. "You just always have to keep your head on a swivel for him because he's always moving in that pocket," former offensive lineman Adrian Mayes said. Reagan and Mangino made it a point to note that little changes from an offensive linemen's perspective when playing alongside Reesing. But players said little nuances must be learned. For instance, Thorson said it's important to attempt to understand where Reesing may be headed on any given play — a fact that could help create a clearer path for the quarterback. "There's no more pocket so we're not trying to create an area for him, were trying to clear guys out," Thorson said. "Everybody has watched Todd run to one side of the field and then turn around and run to the other side. A lot of times you have to be aware of where he's headed and keep guys out of his way." Added former offensive lineman Ryan Cantrell: "The best way that us old guys learned in the past with these things is once we felt Todd scrambling, we just tried to cut our guy and get him on the ground. That would give him plenty of time to make the throw" Throughout a game, offensive linemen are required to push, shove and move other 300-pounders — a responsibility that demands proper conditioning. But Thorson said conditioning is also needed when protecting Reesing. After all, when he decides to move around the pocket, linemen must dart around the field, too. "He can run around for a while and then he throws a huge bomb and you have to sprint down to the "A lot of times you have to be aware of where he's headed and keep guys out of his way." BRAD THORSON Offensive lineman ball for the next play." Thorson said. "But we can handle it pretty well for big guys." And the Jayhawks said they wouldn't have it any other way. Scrambling is part of what makes Reeing so dangerous, and it has led to countless big plays for Kansas' offense. "It works more often than not," Thorson said, "so we don't really have any problem with it at all." — Edited by Jonathan Hermes SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 10A) making mistakes as much." Eliminating those mental slip-ups will be imperative for Kansas in order to find positive results this weekend. They host the top two teams in the conference right now in Texas Tech and Colorado. First up on Friday is Texas Tech (8-4-1 overall, 3-0-1 Big 12), which hasn't beaten Kansas in their past five meetings. Friday's game will be Kansas' first home conference game, as well as Texas Tech's first away game in Big 12 play. Playing in Lawrence will be a welcomed confidence boost to the road-weary Jayhawks, who just completed a four-game road streak. "I think our kids are just going to be excited to play at home," said Francis. "Obviously that's going to be a huge advantage for us. We have to make the most of it." Sunday brings Big 12 power Colorado (7-6 overall, 4-1 Big 12), which lost its only away conference game this season to a weak Baylor team. So far, the Jayhawks have avoided panicking over their poor start, but are aware how important each remaining game is. "Basically we all to win," Dolinsky said. "That's all we're thinking right now." Today's game will start at 4 p.m., and Sunday's game will begin at 1 p.m., both at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos didn't go indoors when the weather turned bad. The forecast for Sunday when the New England Patriots (3-1) visit the Broncos (4-0) calls for a chance of slushy snow, so McDaniels figured it would be silly not to practice in it. And the players had better get used to it, too. McDaniels said his philosophy is that bad weather during the week is a gift. "If it is wet, damp, raining, snowing or whatever, we are going to be outside," he said. What if somebody gets hurt? "I don't really weigh it," McDaniels said. "If we play in it (a game), to me, we have got to get ready to play in it. You can't just tell the guys, 'Hey, we are going to practice inside in a bubble all week long. Then, when we go out there and play in the snow on Sunday, just make sure that you do all of the things you are supposed to do when the weather is bad. Stay on your feet. Field the ball. Throw it in the wet and all that stuff." More than half of Denver's roster NFL is new, so McDaniels wanted to use the bad weather as a teaching moment. NFL Cowboys player returns to team after knee injur "You have to understand what you can and can't do when the weather is poor," he said. "You can't cut the same way. You may not be able to throw the same way. It definitely affects the kicking game first. Ball handling, our kickers, our specialists, all of those things, doing those types of actions in poor weather, that is not something you (can ignore) and then go out and perform well. "For all the people that touch the ball, footing is an issue. Passing, catching, kicking, fielding, all of those things are definitely an issue when the weather gets bad. The only way you get good at doing it in the bad weather is practicing it." "If there was some clear-cut thing where we knew the weather was going to be beautiful on Sunday and we are out there trying to practice in two feet of snow, I don't think that would be smart. If the weather has got a chance to be poor on the weekend, I think you have got to get ready for it." And what if Sunday comes and the forecasters were wrong? "I don't think practicing outside is going to hurt anybody anyway," McDaniels said. IRVING, Texas — Cowboys center Andre Gurode has returned to practice, while receiver Roy Williams remains sidelined by a rib injury. Gurode injured his right knee last weekend against Denver. He went through a limited practice Thursday, increasing his chances of playing Sunday at Kansas City. Dallas coach Wade Phillips didn't rule out Williams playing 'against the Chiefs. (knee) and safety Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb) remained dilded. Jones is likely to miss his second straight game, and Phillips said doctors probably won't clear Sensabaugh to play this week.

They are revealing and intimidating to say the least. This may not seem so different from Sports Illustrated's swim-suit issue, but it does have a little more intrigue to it.

BASKETBALL | 9A t BY JORDAN WILLIAMS jwilliams@kansan.com Edited by Megan Morriss The mutually beneficial relationship between athletics and academics in the public university setting is something worth cherishing. CHASING REESING PAGE 10A Kansas has a storied sports history, of course, and many other notable universities have garnered national media attention because of great achievements in athletics. But some students may feel inclined to bemoan a supposed unequal share of limelight between their university's athletics and academic accomplishments. I believe national attention from one aspect highlights the other. When researching schools with high academic prestige attached, I tend to find one thing in common: a sports narrative overpowered by academics. For example, the University of California-Berkeley is my dream law school and it occurred to me that I forgot what the school mascot was. After reintroducing this fact to my brain, I further discovered that the Cal Bears have a strong contender for the Heisman trophy in junior Jahvid Best. Furthermore, Berkeley has three swimmers on the 2009 U.S. national swim team, a feat only accomplished by placing in the top six times at one of four qualifying swim events. I suppose all this information surprised me because all I ever read about in articles and newspapers concerning Berkeley is politics or medicine. Of course I think the discoveries and advancements made at schools like Stanford and MIT are wonderful, but I often feel that the student experience during those four or five years is different than those at places like Kansas or Oklahoma. Originally I came to Kansas because it was the only school to offer a degree in atmospheric science in the state. I soon came into contact with a school rich in tradition. The chants, the tailgating, the camping for tickets, the list could go on and on. Another benefit for universities with successful athletic programs is the possibility of endowment for academics, perhaps something like the little $40 million gift Kansas Athletics promised to the University. This is a clear example of a relationship functioning at its best. Gestures like these are great for university morale because it reaffirms the fact that learning research and growth are paramount. So even though I'm not the biggest Kansas football or basketball discipline by any means, I appreciate the culture and life that has grown from the noteworthy effort of these and other sports. Because of this national attention, people will research Kansas and will find out that it's no coincidence that a school with a national title in basketball also has high national rankings for its law school, study abroad program and journalism school writing competitions — among many other things. 2 KANSAS 5 Freshman offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson blocks a player from the University of Northern Colorado on Sept. 5 as senior quarterback Todd Reesing makes a run.

His team has certainly gotten the message. Senior midfielder Monica Dolinsky said the practices were noticeably more intense. Francis said he was trying to reduce the amount of mental errors that have cost the team in its past few games. The team gave up four penalty kicks this year. One of "Everyone's been working a lot harder in practice and challenging each other more than we have been the last couple weeks," she said. those kicks gave Texas the gamewinning goal against Kansas last Sunday. Senior defender Lauren Jackson said such momentary lapses of focus were responsible for the team's mistakes. "I think it's just an individual thing," she said. "You have to mentally prepare within yourself before a game." Follow Joel Petterson at twitter.com/ j_petter. Francis also tweaked practices this week to highlight the players' lack of focus and correct it. Any time players commit mental errors, they paid with sprints t on the sideline while their team played a man down. So far, it's made a difference — at least in practice. "I think that's helping us focus a lot better," Jackson said.

Jayhawk Basketball Fans: Recently I made a regrettable Recently I made a regrettable mistake that has let down my family, friends, coaches, teammates, fellow KU student-athletes, the University, KU basketball fans and the Morningstar state whose name I proudly wear across my chest. I used extremely poor judgment in driving after drinking and violating curfew. I know the consequences of my poor and embarrassing decisions and want to apologize. Every day in practice, Coach Self and our coaching staff talk to us about the importance of making good decisions whether on the court or off. I sincerely regret the "black eye" I have given to all of you who have supported me, the University, and especially Kansas basketball. Over the years, my parents and coaches have repeatedly warned me about the consequences of drinking and driving. I am extremely thankful that I did not hurt anyone else that night. I have learned an important lesson and I will never forget it. When you drink and drive you are affecting others on the road, as well as the people who love you and are involved in your life. Even if you think you're OK, getting behind the wheel after having any drinks is a dangerous and terrible decision. As I face the consequences of my decisions, I intend to be a good role model by my actions and hope that young people will learn from my mistakes. I know how lucky and privileged I am to be living my dream and to be part of the best college basketball program in the country. Please accept my sincere apologies for my bad judgement and the embarrassment it has brought to our program. I want you to know that moving forward I will "represent" this University and basketball program in a very positive way. Sincerely, Brady Morningstar KU GAME DAY KANSAS VS.

Before he rushed for 4,956 yards in pro football, he ran for 2,675 yards in college. But most importantly, before Gale Sayers was a Chicago Bear, he was a Kansas Jayhawk. "The Kansas Comet" is remembered as one of the best players to ever play football at the University of Kansas. He was twice selected as a first team All-American before going on to have a short but prolific Hall of Fame NFL career. With the basketball success that Kansas has had for so long, it can be easy to forget about all of the gridiron greats who have played at Memorial Stadium. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor Several great players have played football in Lawrence over the years. Running back John Riggins played in the NFL for 14 years after playing at Kansas and became a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992. Cornerback Agib Talib, one of Kansas' most recent greats, is now enjoying significant playing time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jayhawks have definitely made their mark on pro football over the years, but they have also never forgotten where they played during college. Sayers was recently named the director of fundraising for special projects at Kansas Athletics and will be honored as the Grand Marshal for Saturday's homecoming parade. Talib showed up in Tampa last year to watch the Jayhawks take on South Florida. Former quarterback John Hadi is now an associate athletic director for the University. Each of these former athletes accomplished great things during their college careers. But all of them must have really enjoyed the rest of their time on Mount Oread as well. All of them still follow Kansas athletics, just like thousands of other fans across the country. When athletes come to Kansas, they not only get a great sports experience, but they get a great college experience as well. School spirit at Kansas is rivaled by few other colleges in the country, and the city of Lawrence does a great job of supporting its students. A lot of traditions that surround Kansas football sometimes get taken for granted. Watching the game from the hill, waving the wheat after every touchdown, and tailgating by the stadium are just a few of the traditions that help make game day complete. Other traditions have come into play in recent years that have added to Jayhawk football. Whether it is watching the pregame video or occasionally tossing a goalpost into Potter Lake, it's all part of the experience. A lot of things have changed since many of the Kansas greats played at Memorial Stadium. But a lot of things have stayed the same. There was no better choice to be this year's Grand Marshal for the homecoming festivities than Gale Sayers. After NFL success and other ventures, Sayers is returning to where he initially burst into the national spotlight. Hundreds of Kansas alumni will be at tomorrow's homecoming game to cheer on the Jayhawks, just like they did when they attended the school years ago. Kansas alumni know they can still get a great experience by coming back to a football game. And all of them, just like Sayers, realize how lucky they are to be part of the family. Alumni can still count on seeing thousands of students show up to cheer on the Jayhawks, no matter how good of a season the team is having.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 4 FEATURE HE'LL ALWAYS BE A JAYHAWK Don Fambrough relaxes in his house in a room filled with Kansas memorabilia. The former Kansas football coach is still a big fan of the team and even attends some of the team's practices. Fambrough coached the Jayhawks from 1971-44 and again from 1979-82. Weston White/KANSAN Former head football coach Don Fambrough will never lose his love for the Kansas team Fambrough gets benched weston White/KANSAN Fambrough has a framed article describing the day when former players dedicated a bench to him on the hill near Memorial Stadium. By Jayson Jenks jjenks@kansan.com Don Fambrough stands between Kansas'two practice fields on a typically muggy morning in mid-August. Shading him from the sun are black sunglasses, the only non-Kansas related items in Fambrough's wardrobe today. He walks around the outskirts of the field on the way to a training table. On the way, he is stopped by packs of players sipping water during a break. "Hey coach," sophomore tight end Tim Biere says, patting Fambrough on the shoulder. "How are you doing today?" So goes a typical practice for Fambrough, the twice-former coach who now spends his days strolling the sidelines as a spectator. He doesn't say much during practices, only offering a few words here and there before the start of drills. But Fambrough stands as a living symbol connecting the Jayhawks' past and present — and, really, the distinction between Kansas' football program and Fambrough has increasingly narrowed through the years. Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/jaysonjenks. "He's just one of those people that as soon as you hear his name you associate him with Kansas football," former offensive lineman Ryan Cantrell said. "He is Kansas football." At 85, Fambrough is the ultimate historian of Kansas football, his qualifications spanning seven decades as a Jayhawk. His late wife, Del, was a teacher in the Lawrence community. His sons graduated from the University. So, too, did Fambrough. Plus, in some capacity, Fambrough spent 30 years as a coach, including eight years as a head coach. "His life-blood is at Kansas," former Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "There's nobody I'm more pleased for with the success of Kansas football than Don Fambrough." Yet Fambrough's ties with Kansas football are complicated, filled with equal parts passion and, at times, pure frustration. THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 5 @ @KANSAN.COM Check out Kansan.com for an audio slideshow detailing Fambrough's memorabilia. After serving as an assistant, Fambrough was named Kansas' head coach in 1971. In his third season Fambrough won seven games, finished tied for second in the Big Eight and led Kansas to the Liberty Bowl. The next season Kansas finished last in the Big Eight with a 4-7 record. Fambrough was fired. "There have been disappointments," Fambrough said. "I don't want to try and make you think everything is perfect. There are problems. Today, they probably have fewer problems than any time I've ever been here. Coach Mangino has been given the tools to work with." Four seasons later, in 1979, Fambrough was rehired as Kansas' head coach. Again, in his third season, he led the Jayhawks to a bowl game, finishing the season 8-4. But, again, Kansas struggled the following season posting a 2-7-2 record. Fambrough was fired for a second time. In case you're wondering how one of Kansas football's most recognizable figures can so unabashedly support the same school that fired him — twice — Fambrough says it's not hard. Sure, there were times when he was frustrated with the hand he was dealt as a head coach. But that's well past him now, only remaining as a distant memory. After all, Fambrough said, he's still a Jayhawk. "I always say that I'm probably the only coach that ever got fired twice from the same school," Fambrough said. "And that's not a record that you want to have. Has that turned me against the University? No, absolutely not." For a couple days a few years back, something wasn't right. There were pads, whistles blowing and football players zigzagging across the field. From an outsider's perspective, it looked much the same as any other practice. WANTED DEAD or ALIVE Coach Fambrough Reward 25¢ Reward 10¢ But it wasn't. Ryan Cantrell said something — or rather, someone — was missing. Fambrough, who Cantrell said nearly suffered a heat stroke during an exceptionally hot stretch of weather, wasn't able to attend practice that week. For years, Fambrough has delivered a pregame motivational message before the Jayhawks play the Tigers. And with each year the tales of Fambrough's talks grows a little more. On most days, though, Fambrough is more than happy to be on the sideline, simply observing football practice. Added Allen, who also allowed Fambrough to speak before Missouri games: "It sent goose bumps up and down everyone who listened to him. He has a great passion for the rivalry and a great love for Kansas. He could have convinced you that Quantrill played for Missouri." "His speeches before Missouri are absolutely legendary," Cantrell said. "He called me out one year and he was saying, 'Damnit Cantrell, it was your damn uncle that came over here and burned down this city!'" But there's more to the story than a love for football. Cantrell stepped onto Kansas' campus six years ago with little perspective. He was a Texas boy who knew little about Kansas vs. Missouri, about any rivalries really, and back then he didn't really care. Then Cantrell met Fambrough, perhaps the most passionate participant of the Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri.

MARY THE PARKER HISTORY MUSEUM THIS FILM RELEASED ON JULY 15, 2018 A celebration of the life and legacy of Terry Parker, a legendary American football player who played for the University of Florida from 1967 to 1984. The museum showcases Parker's career highlights, including his victories in the NFL, college football, and Olympic games. It also features memorabilia such as his jersey, trading cards, and autographs. Tickets are available at the museum's website or through local retailers. The museum is located at 346 West 36th Street, New York, NY 10017. Bottom Left: Fambrough holds a helmet signed by Kansas coach Mark Mangino. Since arriving at Kansas in 2002, Mangino has allowed Fambrough to watch every practice. Top Left: Among his assorted collectibles, Fambrough keeps many items, such as this towel, from games in which Kansas defeated rival Missouri. Top: Fambrough claims that this "Dead or alive" poster appeared in post offices throughout Columbia, Mo., the town where the University of Missouri is located. Right: Fambrough points at his favorite item, a painting that depicts three of what he described as his life's greatest achievements: playing football, coaching football and his wife, Del. For Fambrough, who has been so heavily involved in foot ball throughout his life — and who has been long removed from his coaching days — the ability to remain around the game means more than simply watching football. "For an old man and an old coach, that means a lot," Fambrough said. "This is the team and the school that I dearly love. I wouldn't ever want to be anywhere else. From somebody coming from Texas, that's speaking pretty good words." While Fambrough is walking back toward Memorial Stadium one morning, a man in a Kansas football shirt walks up and introduces himself. The man is giddy, saying it's a pleasure to meet such a Kansas football legend. He then points to a nearby apartment complex. "If you're here before the game Coach, you're more than welcome to stop by our tailgate if you want," the man savs. Fambrough laughs, pats the man on the back and graciously says he'll be there on Saturday. It's all part of the connection between Fambrough and the football program "The way that he portrays being a Kansan, it's almost like 'we'll take anybody. That's the mind-set of the whole football team,' Cantrell said. "As soon as you're there, you're a Kansan, you're a Jayhawk. He had that ability to bring you along and really make you feel like you were home."

MISSISSIPPI CASE BANK The Crimson Tide head west for a showdown against Mississippi. The Rebels were ranked No. 4 just two weeks ago, but a loss at South Carolina dropped them out of the top 10. This game will have big implications in the race for the SEC West title. MICHIGAN MICHIGAN VS. IOWA The Wolverines are coming off their first loss of the season as they head to Iowa to face the Hawkeyes. Iowa is still undefeated, and is hoping to keep it going against Michigan. This should be a grind-it-out game that comes down to the fourth quarter. GEORGIA TECH VS. FLORIDA STATE ASSOCIATED PRESS After demolishing BYU, Florida State has lost two games in a row and is now 2-3. The Seminoles are hoping to turn things around against a 4-1 Georgia Tech team that already has two victories in the ACC. Florida State will try anything to avoid a 2-4 start to the season. O OREGON VS. UCLA Welly BRUNS 32 31 18 42 C The Ducks are trying to take another step toward proving that they are the class of the Pac-10 Conference. However, they will have to win a tough road game to keep their four-game winning streak alive. UCLA is coming off its first loss and will be ready for the Oregon attack. LSU running back Charles Scott scores the game-winning touchdown on a 33-yard run in the last minute of the fourth quarter of a 20-13 win against the Georgia Bulldogs last Saturday. The liqers are preparing to play against the Florida Gators tomorrow. Gator FLORIDA VS. LSU LSU Tigers aiming for a big upset of the top-ranked Gators This week's marquee matchup features a clash of two perennial SEC powers. By looking at statistics alone, Florida has the edge. The Gators are scoring nearly 46 points per game and are allowing just 7.3 points per contest. Florida has dominated opponents, while LSU has been slipping past several opponents on its way to a 5-0 record. However, it's never easy to get a win in Baton Rouge, La. The last time the Gators went to LSU, they ended up on the wrong side of a 28-24 game. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has never won a game at LSU, and he will try again after being knocked out of his last game against Kentucky. This one will be close, but the Gators will just have too much firepower for the Tigers. AP TOP 25 Team (First-place votes) Record Total Votes Prev. Rank 1. Florida (54) 4-0 1486 1 2.

All three players have seen significant playing time for the Jayhawks in their first 11 games. Kansas trio finds quick success By Joel Petterson jpetterson@kansan.com Three freshmen haven't wasted any time making their presence felt on the soccer pitch for Kansas this year. Whitney Berry, Sarah Robbins and Shelby Williamson help make up one of the program's best recruiting classes in years and have already worked their way into the top 11 spots. Berry and Williamson got the starting nod immediately in the team's first game against Drake and have started every game since, while Robbins also played in every game and started the last four. Williamson has played every minute in eight out of the team's 11 games. "We knew that they had the potential to play right away," says coach Mark Francis. "It was just a matter of their proving that they could do it at this level. Obviously, they proved that." Follow Kansan soccer writer Joe Petterson at twitter.com/j_petter. Fortunately for Francis, the three haven't been satisfied just earning spots on the field. They are also working their way up the team's statistic leader board. With four goals, Williamson, a midfielder, is tied for second in scoring and has also seen the third-most playing time on the squad. Berry, a forward, ranks second in assists with four and her 23 shots are third-highest on the team. Robbins, a defensive midfielder, earned her first goal this weekend against Oral Roberts University. Francis says the talent in this recruiting class made it one of the best he's had in his 11 years at Kansas. Along with the three starters, Francis mentioned Nicole Chrisopulos and Amy Grow, who is sitting out the season with an injury, as standout freshmen. "They all have the athletic ability to be able to step in and play right away," he says. "I just think collectively it's a good group." The three have taken on an even more important role, especially in the offense, because last year's co-leading scorer, senior Shannon McCabe, has been sitting out with an injury since the second game of the season. But the newcomers' impressive start hasn't come without a steep learning curve into Division I soccer. All three say the speed and physicality in college play is difficult to adjust to. "I expected it, but I didn't think it would be this hard," Williamson says. But with all of their playing time, they've gotten a pretty good crash course in the new style of play. "You just kind of get into it and evolve to it." Berry says. Senior defender Estelle Johnson says the returning starters had their own adjustments to make to the new players after losing two starting midfielders from last year. "Especially in the midfield, I'm so used to having Jess Bush and Missy Geha," she says. "It's been kind of hard working with that, but they're doing a good job." Off the field, however, the three have had no trouble bonding with the rest of the team. Robbins says the team's special social chemistry has been her favorite part of the season so far. "We're always laughing at the upperclassmen making jokes," she says. "They're really funny girls." The three have a special bond of their own — they share a dorm room along with freshman forward Jamie White. Together, they've certainly had an impressive start, but Francis says they can always continue to improve. + THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN get your game day apartment at Legends Place at a fraction of the cost of a hotel, secure a spacious guaranteed apartment all season!

Not only did the bye week allow the Jayhawks to fine-tune before the start of conference play, but it also gave aling senior running back Jake Sharp more time to recover from an undisclosed injury. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior running back Jake Sharp Sharp didn't play in Kansas' game against Southern Miss two weeks ago because of an undisclosed injury. Freshman running back Toben Purum played well in his place, but the Jayhawks need Sharp's big-play ability and PETER MCCONNELL played well in his place, but the Jay's Sharp hawks need Sharp's big-play ability and speed to be successful in the Big 12. Watch to see how healthy Sharp appears in his first game back. QUESTION MARKS Will Kansas put away Iowa State this year? lowa State jumped all over Kansas last season, taking a 20-0 halftime lead. Good teams make it a habit of putting lesser opponents away early. Will the Jayhawks show that ability tomorrow? How many people will be in attentance? Despite an announced sellout against Southern Miss, Memorial Stadium wasn't completely full at any point during the game. With another early kickoff time — and with another should-win game on the schedule — will more fans decide to stay at home? BY THE NUMBERS 8. 3 Average yards per punt return for Kansas' Daymond Patterson 9 Kansas' consecutive home victories against Big 12 North opponents 13 13 Remaining unbeaten teams in the country, including 4-0 Kansas 64. 5 Reesing's career completion percentage 67. 1 Completion percentage for quarterback Todd Reesing this season Kansas (4-0) OFFENSE Kansas' offense has piled up plenty of yards and points during its four non- conference games. The Jayhawks rank sixth in the nation in total offense and are averaging 40.5 points per game. But here's the thing: The general thinking around the football program is that the offense could be even more productive. Freshman running back Toben Opurum M. ROBERTS has provided Kansas with a more than reliable replacement while Sharp has been injured. Opurum DEFENSE So begins the true test for the Kansas defense. The unit played well during the nonconference portion of the season,but conference play will prove if that start was a fluke. The Jayhawks have limited opponents' ability to run the ball,and the defensive line,led by senior defensive end Jake Laptad, has created enough pressure to slow the pass. SPECIAL TEAMS The kick and punt return games have been solid this season, and junior punter this season, and junior pitcher Alonso Rojas has played above-average during Kansas' first four games. At this point, the only possible problem could rest with Kansas' kicking game. Junior Jacob Branstetter has made three of five field goals, but coach Mark Mangino has decided to go for it on fourth down instead of allowing Branstetter to attempt a long field goal. That could come back to haunt the Jayhawks. Rojas COACHING There's not much to argue with at this point [ ] avens point in the season Kansas has handled lesser opponents and the defense appears improved --- from this point last season. Mangino has the Jayhawks playing like a top 25 team. Manqino Kansas has a very realistic shot at opening the season with a 6-0 record. After rolling through non-conference play, Kansas plays host to a bottom-of-the-Big 12 Iowa State team followed by a road trip to a struggling Colorado team. That's a potentially promising forecast.

Prediction Kansas 49, Iowa Sta THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ) --- STATE GAME DAY 13 KANSAS OFFENSE Like Southern Miss, Iowa State tends to keep the ball on the ground to move the ball up the field. But instead of using two running backs to carry the ball, head coach Paul Rhoads likes to hand off to junior running back Alexander Robinson and let junior quarterback Austin Arnaud scramble COLUMBIA Robinson whenever he sees an opening. Combined, Arnaud and Robinson have run for 165 yards per game so far this season. DEFENSE Senior linebacker Jesse Smith is always around the ball. With 49 tackles, he has at least 15 more than anyone else on the roster. Senior defensive end Christopher Lyle, who forced and recovered a fumble in last year's match-up between the teams, will probably get a few good looks at Todd Reeing. The PETER DAVIS Smith Cyclones haven't faced any semblance of a quality passing offense yet but still give up more than 200 yards per game. SPECIAL TEAMS The kickoff return unit, led by junior cornerback David Sims, has the potential to bust a big return. Sims ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash in junior college and originally committed to Bob Stoops and Oklahoma before making the move to Ames, Iowa. PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING THIS TITLE. On eight attempts so far this season, Sims is averaging nearly 29 yards per return. The kicking teams are both above average. Sims COACHING Paul Rhoads is in his first year at the helm of the Cyclones. He was defensive coordinator for Pittsburgh from 2000 to 2007 and then was hired at Auburn to perform the same role in 2008. Rhoads utilizes the spread formation, but instead of throwing nearly every down like some Big PETER BROOKS 12 schools, Rhoads loves to call the option. To improve the defense, he hired South Florida's defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. Rhoads MOMENTUM lowa State's season so far has been a roller-coaster ride. Arnaud was electric in moving the ball down the field for a potential game-tying score against Kansas State, but a blocked extra point ended Iowa State's hopes for overtime. Putting it lightly, that was a heartbreaker. Iowa State dominated Kansas in the first half last season, so some confidence will be there. - Clark Goble Bradley McDougald will cheer if... decide to run more trick plays.

The offensive line is very solid and has given up the fewest sacks in the country so far this season, but the Cyclones' non-conference schedule was pretty lacking other than taking on in-state rival Iowa. PLAYER TO WATCH Junior quarterback Austen Arnaud If he isn't keeping P. Bhavnagar the ball and running himself, he's either faking a run or trying to find an open receiver. Arnaud likes the ball in his hands and loves to make plays happen. While you won't necessarily have to Arnaud redirect your eyes to watch a quarterback play. Arnaud is the most dangerous threat in the Cyclones' defense. QUESTION MARKS Is Iowa State ready for Kansas' passing offense? Junior safety David Sims is a quality playmaker, but a sixth-year senior who hadn't started a collegiate game yet picked apart the Cyclone defense for more than 220 yards. If Reasing can get a few seconds from his offensive lineman to find an open man, he might have a field day. Will Iowa State fold if they fall behind early? Kansas showed a quick-strike ability against Southern Miss and might try to look long early Saturday. The Cyclones must realize that Kansas is a lot more talented than Kansas State. If they fall behind by double digits, Rhoads may call off the dogs and try to maintain face for the Iowa State faithful. BY THE NUMBERS 59.3 Amaud's completion percentage on passing attempts, the highest in Iowa State history. 9 Return yards given up on punts for the season 17 Consecutive road losses before beating Kent State 34-14 on Sept. 19 42.5 iowa State's net punting range so far this season, good for fifth in the country 75 iowa State's ranking by CBSSports.com 120 football poll 7 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 14 AROUND THE BIG 12 Big 12 - Week 6 Compiled by Clark Goble GAME TO WATCH Oklahoma State vs. Texas A&M The true game of the week took place in Columbia, Mo., last night, but this matchup between the Cowboys and the Aggies will be pretty good as well. Oklahoma State has a chance to prove it is actually the best team in the state and Texas A&M hopes to prove it isn't a fraud. Both offenses have been pretty prolific in the non-conference part of their schedules so there may be another Big 12 South shootout in the workings. Oklahoma State needs to find a second receiver to draw coverage away from senior receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant's playmaking abilities against single coverage scare even the best defensive coordinators, but Bryant can't put up gaudy numbers against two defenders. Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson has been putting up video game numbers early, but failed to show up against Arkansas until the second half.

Cyclones try to use loss as turning point ASSOCIATED PRESS F Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads, left, argues a call with an official during the second quarter of Cyclones loss against Kansas State at Arrowhead Stadium in City, Mo. Iowa State will try to rebound from the loss when it play Kansas in Lawrence on Saturday. ISAN By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — While a win on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium would have put the Cyclones two wins from bowl eligibility, the loss they incurred on a blocked extra point attempt puts the Iowa State football team one game over .500 and headed into a road game against No. 15 Kansas. "I've been pleased with the improvement of our football team up to this Saturday. Saturday we failed to do that in Kansas City and missed out on an opportunity to advance our program," Rhoads said. The team echoed coach Paul Rhoads' post-game sentiment about the loss to Kansas State as a possible turning point for the football program, and at Monday's weekly press conference, Rhoads' tone and focus remained the same. While the Cyclones played in a close matchup in Kansas City, both teams made plenty of errors. Points of improvement for the Cyclones include hitching up a 6-for-15 number on third down, as well as keeping down the turnovers that have plagued them in losses, including two big fumbles against Kansas State. "We gotta go back to the drawing board and go back to our fundamentals and focus in on those," said Cyclone linebacker Josh Raven. Players repeat Rhoads' belief in a turnaround, even against a difficult opponent like the Jayhawks on Saturday in Lawrence. "The ride home wasn't too fun, just thinking about what we could have done better," senior linebacker Jesse Smith said. "You just sit there and think,'Man, we need to get better; and it gives you motivation and some urgency that we need to do it now. Sunday morning I woke up and my mindset was just on Kansas." It took a little effort to forget Saturday's defeat, though, just like last year's blown second half against the Jayhawks.

SPECIALS DAILY DARTS, SHUF- FLEBOARD, GOLDEN TEE, FOOD AND DRINK SPE- CIALS 16 BIG 12 W MISSOURITIGERS Confidence the key to Missouri's chances By Matt Gerstner The Maneater (Editor's Note: This column was written before Thursday game against Nebraska.) COLUMBIA, Mo. — It has come to my attention that I angered a few Nebraska fans in my last column when I said, "Nebraska is not as good as people thought." I would like to apologize for that comment. I admit it was a little inaccurate. In conjunction with my apology, I would like to issue another statement in regard to the upcoming epic-ness that is Thursday's Missouri-Nebraska contest. Missouri will either kill or get killed by Nebraska. For some reason, I don't think this is going to be a close game. I think if one team is on, the other will be more turned off than a hot girl at a World of Warcraft convention. If you haven't noticed, I'm a big believer in having the right mindset to win ball games. I think that goes further than talent. That's how most upsets happen. That being said, if Missouri doesn't go into this with some confidence, they're going to get rolled. Same goes for Nebraska. If there are any reservations about what might happen, what might go wrong, things will go wrong. Very, very wrong. I absolutely despise Soulja Boy, but I'm going to use what most people believe to be a song. Simply put, the Tigers have to turn their swag on and do it when they hop up out the bed if they're going to beat the Huskers. It's all about confidence with this game. Emotions will already be riding high, this being a rivalry and all. The game is on ESPN, so the stomach butterflies will be battering around on the inside. Add those to a game that will give the winner momentary supremacy in the Big 12 North, and you'll be able to see the nerves firing on the field. Luckily, both coaches have had about two weeks to prepare for this game. That's plenty of time to get your team buying into the rivalry, the revenge aspect, the drive to keep the streak going and what it could do for their season. NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Cornhuskers eager for showdown with Tigers By Spencer Schubert Daily Nebraskan (Editor's Note: This column was written before Thursday game against Missouri.) LINCOLN, Neb. — The Nebraska football team has been able to dwell on last season's 52-17 laugher against Missouri for just less than a year now. After Nebraska's 55-0 blowout of Louisiana-Lafayette last weekend, tight end Mike McNeill tried to bite his tongue when asked about facing the Tigers. If the Huskers do what most are expecting them to do against a young and inexperienced Mizzou team, this can only represent a ticking time bomb. "I'm looking forward to it," McNeill said. "Obviously, it's a big game. It's still a ways away, so I don't want to get too anxious too early." The Cornhuskers have been the joke of the Big 12 Conference North Division for the last few years, mainly because they Too late. can't figure out how to beat the Tigers or Kansas at home - something they need to do at both venues this year if they even want to sniff a December conference championship game in Dallas. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini doesn't like to be the butt of any football jokes, either. His response after NU's game with Mizzou last season was far from pleasant. "I'm not used to losing — I'm not used to getting beat soundly," Pelini said after the loss. "Yes, damn right, I'm embarrassed, I apologize to the team, I apologize to the state of Nebraska. I was hired to do a job, and I didn't do that job tonight." Pelini hasn't had to act like that recently, but the Thursday night primetime game with the Tigers on ESPN will only remind him of that embarrassment. Nebraska rightfully should be 4-0 and potentially a top-10 team but this team isn't about what should or would have happened Instead, the No. 23 Huskers, who will probably be ranked higher next week, will have something to prove. THE WAVE OCTOBER 9,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Wildcats sit atop Big 12 North, for now By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian MANHATTAN — The Wildcat football team sits alone atop the Big 12 North division standings. K-State might not be at the top of the ladder for very long, but it's awful nice to see the Wildcats at No. 1, at least for a week. It might not have been the prettiest effort in the world, but after the win over Iowa State, it looks like the starting quarterback job is Grant Gregory's to lose. I'd have to imagine there aren't many other football players with as much love for the game as Gregory. Why else would you transfer twice and battle for a job for six seasons? His production on the field last weekend wasn't too shabby either. If you would have told me this year's team would win a game by one point without the starting running back crossing the goal line, there's not a chance in the world that I would have believed it. Don't take this as a legitimate comparison — I know they're not nearly the same player — but both of Gregory's touchdown passes, which came on broken plays to Lamark Brown and Brandon Banks, looked quite Michael Bishop-esque. Speaking of Lamark Brown, it's nice to see the quarterbacks finally utilizing a big target. The guy might not be the best receiver in the world, but let's face it: he's just short of eight feet tall and can jump about 15 yards in the air. Keep throwing him the ball. Don't get me wrong. I love watching what Banks can do as much as the next guy, but if the offense can establish Brown as another consistent weapon, things could get really interesting as conference play continues. If K-State needs any pointers on how to develop a strong passing attack, they'll be in the right place this weekend. Texas Tech might lead the nation in passing yardage every season, but the quarterbacks are just a product of Mike Leach's system. Hence the fact that no Red Raider quarterbacks are currently in the NFL. System offense or not, K-State has struggled on the road against Texas Tech since the beginning of forever. Plain and simple. The Wildcats' last win in Lubbock, Texas: Nov. 1, 1997. 91 Kansas State quarterback Grant Gregory throws over the head of Iowa State linebacker Patrick Neal during the second quarter of their game last Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Hawkins threw two touchdown passes, but Colorado (1-3) managed three total points on four other drives that went inside the 30. Jarrett Brown threw two touchdown passes and freshman fullback Ryan Clarke ran for two fourth-quarter scores for West Virginia (3-1). Colorado now faces the impossible task of meeting coach Dan Hawkins' offseason directive of "10 wins, no excuses." The Buffaloes would have to win the remainder of their games, including a bowl, starting next week at No. 2 Texas. Colorado was outgained 405-392 after Both offenses played sloppily despite having an extra week to prepare. West Virginia lost four fumbles and intercepted three of Cody Hawkins' passes. shutting out Wyoming 24-0 on Sept.19. The Buffaloes kept Brown mostly in check, but couldn't match Devine's speed. After Colorado turned the ball over on downs deep in its own territory, Clarke tacked on an 8-yard scoring run to put the game out of reach. Brown, sixth in the nation in total offense at 335 yards per game, twice overthrew wide-open receivers far downfield and finished 12 of 19 for just 148 yards. He was sacked three times. Colorado's Rodney Stewart had another solid game against the Mountaineers. Last year he rushed for 166 yards, the most ever by a Colorado freshman. On Thursday, Stew art had a 36-yard TD run in the first quarter and finished with 105 yards on 21 carries. Cody Hawkins kept his cool at times, avoiding the blitz to hit Scotty McKnight with a 29-yard scoring toss on fourth-and-7 early in the third that cut Colorado's deficit to four at 21-17. But Colorado didn't score again until the final seconds of the game. Hawkins went 27 of 52 for 292 yards. Riar Geer caught eight passes for 113 yards. TEXAS LONGHORNS Longhorn running backs competing for top spot By Michael Sherfield The Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — For the first time all season, a running back stood atop the Texas depth chart with no asterisks and no "or" beside his name. Tre Newton, after coming off two big performances against Wyoming and Texas Tech, was the long-awaited committee of one. Then Saturday rolled around. With two huge runs that combined for more than 80 yards and a touchdown, Vondrell McGee, the original starter when the season opened a month ago, reinserted himself in the conversation. He finished with 104 yards on eight carries, Texas' first 100-yard rusher all season. He was joined with impressive performances from Cody Johnson, whose only carry went for an 18-yard touchdown, and Fozzy Whittaker. The promising sophomore took his first carry of the season for a touchdown, only to see it nullified by a holding penalty. He responded with four carries for 38 yards and a score. Jeremy Hills also ran for 68 yards on three carries in the fourth quarter, but fumbled twice, on the same play. "It's a good problem to have," said offensive coordinator Greg Davis. "I'm encouraged by how we ran the ball in the second half." After a poor start from Newton in the first half, the Texas stable of runners galloped for 244 yards in the second half, en route to 303 rushing yards. "It's hard. Everyone that gets a chance to get in there does their thing," McGee said of the competition. The Longhorns have been looking for a feature runner for more than a year, a battle that went on through training camp, where McGee was named the starter. But after being slowed by an ankle injury for two weeks, he saw his carries cut sharply as Newton shined. The weekend leaves Texas in the same position it started, with plenty of able bodies but no clear No. 1.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS Miami's upset ends Sooners' title hopes By Tim Reynolds Associated Press MIAMI — After Jacory Harris threw his second interception of the opening minutes, Miami's sophomore quarterback went to the sideline with a most unusual reaction. He laughed. Rattled? Not in the slightest. Harris settled down, the Miami defense got rolling — and the result was the Hurricanes' biggest win in years. Javarris James ran for a career-best 150 yards, Harris threw for three scores and No. 17 Miami knocked off No. 8 Oklahoma 21-20 on Saturday night — in what will join some games from the 1980s as another Hurricanes-Sooners classic. "Big, huge win for us," Miami coach Randy Shannon said. "It's huge." With Oklahoma's reigning Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford watching from the sideline, still out with a right shoulder injury, Miami (3-1) scored 21 straight points to take control. And then they held on, running out the final 4 minutes because James — who still beats himself up over a fumble that turned the tide in Miami's 51-13 loss to the Sooners two years ago — churned up 38 yards against an Oklahoma defense that came into the game as the nation's best against the run. Not anymore. "It's our time," said linebacker Jordan Futch. "We are back. We are still The U." Oklahoma's last trip to the Hurricanes' home field was last January, when it lost the BCS national championship game to Florida. This one almost certainly ended any Sooners national title hopes, too. Landry Jones threw for 188 yards and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combined to rush for 151 more for Oklahoma (2-2). "They made the plays down the stretch that made the difference," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "We couldn't come up with the plays to make it happen." CASTER 20 EVENT STAFF 29 The Oklahoma romp over Miami two years ago shaped today's Hurricanes in a number of ways: For the older players, it was humiliating, and for the ones like Harris who were in high school at the time, it reaffirmed that they wanted to be part of the group that brought Miami back to prominence. ASSOCIATED PRESS Miami's Thearon Collier leaps for a fourth-quarter pass as Oklahoma's Quinton Carter tries to apply pressure during their game last Saturday in Miami.

However, when your duty is to succeed the nation's top punter and Ray Guy Award winner Matt Fodge, the expectations are a bit different. Four games into the season, Oklahoma State freshman Quinn Sharp seems to be handling it with ease. Entering college, Sharp was ranked No. 1 in the country by Rivals.com and No. 2 by Scout.com. At any other school, Sharp likely would have been a starter but, at Oklahoma State, Sharp would have to gracefully wait his turn. Redshirting last year and having the opportunity to mature and learn from a player like Fodge was something Sharp said he had no problem doing. "It's always nice to learn from others." Sharp said. "(Fodge) taught me some things punting-wise, and taught me an edge on the side of the mental game." Whatever Fodge taught Sharp seems to be helping, as Sharp is leading the Big 12 and is second in the nation in average yards per punt with 48.9, according to ESPN.com. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he is thrilled with Sharp's performance, both with his punting and kickoff duties but said it is his kickoffs that have been a great asset for the Cowboys. "When you drive the ball as deep as he does it makes it much easier to cover," Gundy said. "We're very excited about having him for three and a half more years." BAYLOR BEARS Sharp's teammates could not agree more. Freshman tight end Cooper Bassett said he feels lucky to have a punting unit and kickoff team centered on a talent like Sharp. "We're so blessed and lucky to have Quinn, or Quinny, as I like to call him," Bassett said. "He's proving that everything that was said about him in high school was true." Bears defeat Kent State behind backup's effort By David Jimenez Associated Press WACO, Texas — Third-string quarterback Nick Florence rushed for two touchdowns in his first career start and Baylor won its first game without standout Robert Griffin, beating Kent State 31-15 Saturday night. Blake Szymanski, who was expected to start at quarterback, did not play after missing significant practice time this week because of a bruised shoulder. He got hurt last week in relief of Griffin, who is expected to miss most of the season with an isolated tear to the ACL of his right knee. Florence was 20-of-27 passing for 216 yards and added 60 yards rushing. He gave Baylor (3-1) the lead for good with a 6-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Jacquise Terry had 109 yards rushing for Kent State (2-3), including a 61-yard scoring run in the third. Baylor's Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 125 yards, and Jarred Salabi rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown in support of the freshman Florence. Griffin, who passed for 2,091 yards and 15 touchdowns as a freshman in 2008, spent the first half on the sidelines wearing a headset. During pregame warmups, Griffin gingerly walked around while encouraging some of his teammates and even lobbed a couple of soft tosses while playing catch in the end zone. The star quarterback wasn't the only offensive starter in street clothes for Baylor. Starting running back Jay Finley missed his second straight game with an ankle injury. Even with most of its starting backfield missing, the Bears had 374 yards of offense. The score came three plays after he hit Wright on a screen pass, which the speedy receiver turned into a 44-yard gain. Florence capped an 89-yard drive with a 6-yard run that finished by diving into the end zone. This gave the Bears a 14-7 lead with 13:02 left in the first half. Salubi's 45-yard touchdown run gave the Bears a 21-7 halftime lead.

Taylor Potts, the nation's leading passer, left the game before halftime after two hard sacks appeared to affect his balance. Officials from Texas Tech (3-2) declined to comment on his injury. Sheffield threw scoring passes of 25, 20 and 62 yards. He was 16 of 23 with one interception. Alex Torres, Detron Lewis and Harrison Jeffers caught the touchdowns. Potts was intercepted twice, both by cornerback Nathan Enriquez. The Lobos (0-5) got their only first-half score off Potts' second interception. Donovan Porterie threw a 7-yard TD pass to Josh Fussell in the second quarter. The game capped a week of off-the-field distractions for both teams. Red Raiders coach Mike Leach made headlines when he indefinitely suspended Brandon Carter, a team captain and preseason All-America pick, for violating team rules following Texas Tech's 29-28 loss to No.12 Houston.Carter was in the stands for much of the game. Leach also banned his players from using Twitter after learning Marlon Williams had tweeted about Leach being late to a team meeting. For the Lobos, coach Mike Locksley is under investigation by the university following a Sept. 20 fight involving an assistant. Receivers coach J.B. Gerald told police Locksley struck him during a staff meeting. Gerald hasn't been with the team since the incident. At the outset, Texas Tech showed no signs of being distracted. On its first possession, Potts threw a 79- yard pass to Tremain Swindall, who outran Lobos defenders to the 1 on the Red Raiders' longest play from scrimmage this season. Jeffers took the ball in on the next play to put Texas Tech up 7-0. TEXAS A&M AGGIES Aggies lose big against Razorbacks at home By Jaime Aron Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Ryan Mallett shook off a slow start and threw four touchdown passes to lead Arkansas to a 47-19 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday night in the revival of their Southwest Conference rivalry. Mallett misfired on his first three passes, was sacked twice and hadn't gotten a first down when the Razorbacks were trailing 10-0. Then the big sophomore hit Joe Adams for a 67-yard gain to start the next series, and Arkansas (2-2) was on its way to scoring 30 points by halftime. The Aggies (3-1) were never able to get back into it, and the Razorbacks never let up. This "Southwest Classic" was the first of at least a 10-year series held at Cowboys Stadium in hopes of cashing in on recruiting and alumni riches in the Dallas area. The game drew 71,872 fans, but it didn't hold their attention for very long. alum Jerry Jones. Many headed home by the middle of the fourth quarter, although enough Hogs fans remained to crank up a loud chant of "S-E-C! S-E-C!" in the final minutes. The more lopsided the score got, the more folks went for long strolls to check out the $1.15 billion stadium built by Arkansas Both teams saw this matchup of unranked-but-proud programs as a way to measure themselves. The Razorbacks were wondering if their two-game losing streak was a byproduct of playing two highly ranked SEC foes, and the Aggies were wondering if their 3-0 start and eye-popping statistics were the byproduct of playing three cupcakes. Although he fell one TD pass shy of tying the school record he set two weeks ago, the poise he showed despite those awful first three possessions bodes well for Arkansas as it heads into the teeth of its SEC schedule. They get Auburn next, then play at Florida and at Ole Miss. Mallett, a sophomore transfer from Michigan who won a high school title in Texas in 2006, finished 17-of-27 for 271 yards and an interception, while throwing touchdowns to four receivers.

With the temporary population increase of parents and alumni, Homecoming Weekend is one of the most profitable times of the year for Lawrence businesses. David Johnston, director of Internet services and marketing at the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said that homecoming brought thousands of alumni to campus each year. With a global network of an estimated 300,000 alumni,the largest concentration of them in Kansas City,he said he expected many to travel to Lawrence for homecoming.He said that the Adams Alumni Center would be bursting at the seams during festivities and that most alumni would stay at local hotels. Both the Eldridge Hotel and Springhill Suites were booked for the weekend for months in advance. Nancy Longhurst, manager at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., said each of the hotel's 48 suites were booked nine to 10 months ago.

Her prominence in the energy industry has earned her repeated recognition by Forbes Magazine as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world, reaching No.43 in 2008. Cook spoke to more than 100 undergraduates assembled in Eaton Hall Friday. Cook said she chose to visit the University because, for as far as she could remember, the need for engineers specializing in energy had never been greater. "We need more engineers in the world today and, in particular, in the energy sector." Cook said. "So, if I can come here and try to encourage the kids who are thinking about engineering to devote their energy toward the energy sector, then it would be well worth it." Cook said the current worldwide energy crisis created a need for engineers specializing in all energy fields and challenged students to fill this demand. She spoke from experience. She herself landed her first job—with Shell in Northern Michigan—during a time of similarly high demand. "I was lucky because the demand for petroleum engineers at the time was right after the oil crisis of 79." Cook said in her speech. "The demand was very, very high for petroleum engineers." Cook said that solving the current energy crisis required innovation in both alternative renewable energy and traditional energy resources.

Expires 10/31/2009 Clinton said extremists were "increasingly threatening the authority of the state, but we see no evidence that they are going to take over the state. We have confidence in the Pakistani government and military's control over nuclear weapons." Clinton said there was nothing to suggest that Pakistan's nuclear weapons could fall into terrorist hands despite Saturday's audacious Taliban attack on the army headquarters in Rawalpindi that highlighted security weaknesses. Miliband told reporters at a joint news conference with Clinton that although Pakistan faced a "mortal threat" from extremists, there was no danger of its nuclear weapons being compromised. The Taliban have launched a series of increasingly bold attacks on military and political targets in Pakistan in recent months. The latest came Saturday, when militants dressed in military fatigues attacked the army headquarters, taking dozens of hostages. The 22-hour siege ended Sunday when commandos stormed the building. At least 19 people died in the standoff, including three captives and eight of the militants. He scolded those who might raise the suggestion. "I think it's very important that alarmist talk is not allowed to gather pace," he said.

Joe Deneault, Topeka junior, said Cook's statements about renewable energy were the most interesting part of her speech. "Most people are pushing for going completely green." Deneault said. "So, to hear somebody say that's not feasible right now kind of goes against a lot of what you hear in the media today and just what is the general consensus today in the population." Renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biofuels, account for less than 1 percent of the world's energy, Cook said. Energy from renewables can cost 20 to 50 percent more than energy from oil, coal and natural gas, she said. Engineers haven't developed the technology to make alternative forms of energy more effective and therefore cheaper, she said. Cook said she often used the example of wind turbines to help give alternative-energy advocates a different perspective. She asks them if, for the same amount of energy, they would prefer wind turbines across 300 miles of mountaintops or one nuclear power plant that covers one square mile. "A lot of people say, 'Neither. I don't want more oil, and I don't want to give up my SUV, and I don't want to turn up my thermostat to eighty during the summer, and I don't want to pay more for my electricity." Cook said. "You get to an unsolvable equation, and all I have to say is thank goodness we have lots of kids majoring in engineering today because it's engineers who can really play a key role in trying to solve what are very, very difficult problems." Deneault, a chemical engineer. ing major, said his biggest goal was to help develop renewable energy resources. He said it was important, however, to be realistic about switching entirely to energy provided by alternative sources. "If 2 percent of the world is run by renewable energy in my lifetime, I feel that would be a huge advancement from what we have now," Deneault said. Kaleigh Braun, Hutchison senior and chemical engineering major, said she appreciated the importance Cook also placed on finding ways to use nonrenewable resources more efficiently. "She talked about how half of the energy we use is lost," Braun said. "That makes our jobs as engineers important because we need to make more efficient energy." Edited by Brenna M. T.

Because Corman's family had little money, he relied on the GI Bill to pay for his enrollment at the University. He left for school the same year he returned from the war. He spent four years taking 20 to 21 credit hours each semester and spent every summer working. He graduated with a dual degree in engineering and architecture as part of the class of 1950, the first class of World War II veterans to attend college. "We didn't do much but go to school," he said. "We were coming out of the war, we were interested, we were getting married and we didn't have time to mess around." In 1954, he and Warren Jones, a Topeka childhood friend, began to design the new Santa Fe Depot. Corman said that they had been studying Frank Lloyd Wright's modern architecture in school, and that Wright was one of his heroes. Wright's designs inspired the style of the depot. "I remember this: He was about halfway through his talk — there was about 50 or 60 of us architecture students in there — and he stopped and said, 'I've got to go take a piss.' Corman said, "And he said, 'Where's the toilet?' and then we said 'There aren't any on this floor.' So he went behind the curtain and peed on the wall behind the curtain.

And I said, "That's Frank Lloyd Wright." Wright was known for his innovative, modern style of designing buildings. Though Corman and Jones were expected to design another old English gothic building, they followed Wright's example and proposed a functional, modern building. The new dept was built with canopy columns, a raised train platform, window walls and radiant heating in the floors, according to a lead architect for Hernly Associates, Inc., a local architect- nural and environmental consulting group. The depot is known to this day as a prime example of Midwestern modern architecture and a historic site. Unfortunately for the train industry, President Dwight D. Eisenhower initiated the nationwide superhighway system not long after the Santa Fe Depot was completed. The convenience of the highway system resulted in the widespread abandonment of the train system. REPAIRING THE DEPOT The use of Corman and Jones' depot dwindled during the next 50 years. In the 1950s, the depot serviced about eight train lines. It now serves only one, the Southwest Chief. Trains arrive at 12:32 a.m. and 5:49 a.m., with no daytime service. Maynard-Moody recalled first arriving in Lawrence by train in 1981 and being shocked at the sight of the depot. Rust had crept up on the canopy columns and the train platform was crumbling. "My husband was a new young assistant professor, and we rode the train to a deteriorating, unstaffed, unsafe, pathetic — I did not feel welcome here," she said. "I wanted to go home. I did not want to live here. It sent me crying." It took 27 years, but after Maynard-Moody retired in 2008, she made the Santa Fe Depot her personal project. She formed a volunteer organization to clean the After 31 years as director of facilities for the Board of Regents, Corman now works as a University architect and special assistant to the chancellor. He advised the team of architects working on the depot project, but when they offered him a position on their team, he refused. Because of the group, the city hired Hernly Associates, Inc. last year to assess the state of the building. The depot originally cost $140,000 to build in 1954. The group has not yet released a price estimate for repairs. depot every Sunday, started a blog about the work it was doing and began to lobby the city to renovate the depot. She named her group Depot Redux. Diane Stoddard, assistant city manager in charge of the negotiations, said that the city was also working to acquire the depot from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and that ownership of the building could be transferred by December. "The desire is to be able to have the station under the city's control, so that we can apply for grants to improve the station and also do some restoration work," she said. "All the architects they're going to hire want me to be on the team with them," he said. "I said, 'No, can't do it, I'm working here full time. I'm not in that business anymore.'" — Edited by Abbey Strusz Wake up and help Find a Cure FREE COFFEE with purchase of Bunn Eyes Office Breast Cancer Awareness Mug during October A portion of the proceeds goes directly to the Susan G.

Susan Klebold's essay in next month's issue of O. The Oprah Magazine, says she is still struggling to make sense of what happened when her son and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher in the shooting rampage at Columbine High School in suburban Denver. Twenty-one peo- ple were injured before Klebold and Harris killed themselves. "For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused." "For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused," she wrote. "I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son's schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives. Dylan changed everything I believed about myself, about God, about family and about love." The killers' parents have repeatedly declined to talk about the massacre. They gave depositions in a lawsuit filed by families of the victims, but a judge in 2007 sealed them for 20 years after the lawsuit was settled out of court. In her essay, Susan Klebold wrote that she didn't know her son was so disturbed. SUSAN KLEBOLD Mother of Columbine shooter "Dylan's participation in the massacre was impossible for me to accept until I began to connect it to his own death," she wrote in excerpts released by the magazine ahead of Tuesday's publication. "Once I saw his journals, it was clear to me that Dylan entered the school with the intention of dying there. And so in order to understand what he might have been thinking, I started to learn all I could about suicide." In a statement with the essay, Oprah Winfrey wrote that Susan Klebold has turned down repeated interview requests but finally agreed to write an essay for O. A spokeswoman for the magazine said Klebold was not paid for the essay, and there were no plans for her to appear on Winfrey's television show. A spokeswoman for the Klebold family said there would be no further statements. In the essay, Klebold said her son left early for school on the day of the shootings. "Early on April 20, I was getting dressed for work when I heard Dylan bound down the stairs and open the front door. Wondering why he was in such a hurry when he could have slept another 20 minutes, I poked my head out of the bedroom. 'Dyl!' All he said was 'Bye.' The front door slammed, and his car sped down the driveway. His voice had sounded sharp. I figured he was mad because hed had to get up early to give someone a lift to class. I had no idea that I had just heard his voice for the last time." She said she had "no inkling" how sick her son was. "From the writings Dylan left behind, criminal psychologists have concluded that he was depressed and suicidal. When I first saw copied pages of these writings, they broke my heart. I'd had no inkling of the battle Dylan was waging in his mind."

It demonstrated the militants' renewed strength since their leader was killed by a U.S. missile strike in August and military operations against their bases. The U.S. has long pushed Islamabad to take more action against Taliban and al-Qaida militants, who are also blamed for attacks on U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan.

China's economic growth rise to 7.9 percent over a year earlier in the quarter ending June 30, up from 6.1 percent the previous quarter, and analysts say the recovery is gathering strength. Retail spending and industrial investment are rising. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS ZHANGLIDONG, China Visitors can smell this village long before they see it. More than 100 dump trucks piled high with garbage line the narrow road leading to Zhangldong, waiting to empty their loads in a land-fill as big as 20 football fields. In less than five years, the Zhengzhou Comprehensive Waste Treatment Landfill has overwhelmed this otherwise pristine village of about 1,000 people. Peaches and cherries rot on trees, infested with insect life drawn by the smell. Fields lie unharvested, contaminated by toxic muck. Every day, another 100 or so tons of garbage arrive from nearby Zhengzhou, a provincial capital of 8 million. CHOOSE PREFERRED HEALTH SYSTEMS Your health depends a lot upon the choices you make.

Americans are still way ahead of China in garbage; a population less than a quarter the size of China's 1.3 billion generated 254 million tons of garbage in 2007, a third of which is recycled or composted, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As more Chinese ride the nation's economic boom, a torrent of garbage is one result. Cities are bursting at the seams, and their officials struggle to cope. Preferred Health Systems "Life here went from heaven to hell in an instant," said lifelong resident Wang Xiuhua, swaiting away clouds of mosquitos and flies. The 78-year-old woman suddenly coughs uncontrollably and says the landfill gases inflame her bronchitis. "Trash was never complicated before, because we didn't have supermarkets, we didn't have fancy packaging and endless things to buy," said Nie. "Now suddenly, the government is panicking about the mountains of garbage piling up with no place to put it all." But for China, the problem represents a rapid turnabout from a generation ago, when families, then largely rural and poor, used and reused everything. Wang Ling, a spokesman for the Zhengzhou Ministry of Environment, said the landfill has a polyethylene liner to protect the ground beneath. Residents say the liner has tears and only covers a fraction of the landfill. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 12; 2009 NEWS 5A Making a prank call I'll do it.

Ghost town revitalized STATE ASSOCIATED PRESS PRESTON — Like hundreds of small towns across rural America, Preston has boarded-up storefronts lining its Main Street. The roof has fallen in at the longabandoned high school and peeling paint and broken windows disfigure once stately, now vacant homes. This central Kansas farming town of 170 people is dying but an Arizona undertaker has a plan to bring it back to life. "What is happening to Preston is truly a godsend," said Mayor Wayne Scott, who graduated from the high school's last class, in 1966. "I don't know too many towns in rural America, across the country, that are having an opportunity like this take place for them. I personally consider it a blessing this is happening in our town."

Donna Stanton's late father, Don Cox, grew up in Pratt County, and her uncle, Dean Cox, still lives in Preston. The Stantons have taken family vacations in the town for 30 years. "My father-in-law loved it here. He had a dream to see this little town revitalized and we kind of caught the vision," said Ken Stanton, 53. Many Preston residents left for jobs in bigger cities, and small businesses dried up. Preston is the latest Kansas small town to get the makeover treatment. The Kansas Farm Bureau started its Kansas Hometown Prosperity Initiative in 2008 to develop community leadership, promote small business entrepreneurship and engage youth. NATIONAL Gay-rights activists march in D.C. Protesters sought to overturn military's ban on open homosexuals ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Thousands of gay rights supporters marched Sunday from the White House to the Capitol, demanding that President Barack Obama keep his promises to allow gays to serve openly in the military and work to end discrimination. Rainbow flags and homemade signs dotted the crowds filling Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House as people chanted "Hey, Obama, let mama marry mama" and "We're out, we're proud, we won't back down." Many children were also among the protesters. A few counter-protesters also assembled and the crowd stretched several blocks by the afternoon. Jason Yanowitz, a 37-year-old computer programmer from Chicago, held his daughter, 5-year-old Amira, on his shoulders. His partner, Annie, had their 2-year-old son, Isiah, in a stroller. Yanowitz said more straight people were turning out to show their support for gay rights. "If somebody doesn't have equal rights, then none of us are free," he said. "For all I know, she's gay or he's gay," he added, pointing to his children. Some participants in the National Equality March woke up with new hope, energized by Obama's blunt pledge to end the ban on gays serving openly in the military during a speech to the nation's largest gay rights group Saturday night. For Lt. Dan Choi, the day began with a jog around Washington's memorials, calling cadence at 8 a.m. with fellow veterans and supporters before joining the march. Choi, a West Point graduate, Arabic speaker and Iraq war veteran, is facing discharge under the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for revealing in March that he is gay. He appeared later at a rally, wearing his Army uniform and a piece of black tape over his mouth. "Many of us have been discharged from the service because we told the truth," he said. "But I know that love is worth it." The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Sunday that Congress will need to muster the resolve to change the "don't ask, don't tell policy" — a change that the military may be ready for. "I think it has to be done in the out way, which is to get a buy-in from the military, which I think is now possible," said Sen, Carl Levin, D-Mich. Obama's political energies have been focused on two wars, the economic crisis and health care reform, though he pledged "Many of us have been discharged from the service because we told the truth. But I know that love is worth it." "unwavering" commitment even as he wrestled with those problems. 500,000 people, Sunday's event was driven by grassroots efforts and was expected to be more low-key. Washington authorities don't disclose crowd estimates at rallies, though at least several thousand appeared to be in attendance. Also among the crowd were a couple of noteworthy activists: Cynthia Nixon, a cast member from HBO's "Sex and the City" who hopes to marry partner Christine Marinoni next year; and Judy Shepard, who became an advocate for gay rights after her son Matthew was killed because he was gay. "Since we've seen that so many times before, I didn't want it to happen again," he said. "We're not settling. There's no such thing as a fraction of equality." March organizer Cleve Jones, creator of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and a protege of gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk, said he had initially discouraged a rally earlier in the year. But he and others began to worry Obama was backing away from his campaign promises. Many marchers were outraged after the passage of California's Proposition 8, which canceled the right of gays to get married in the state. Unlike the first march in 1979 and others in 1987, 1993 and 2000 that included celebrity performances and drew as many as LT. DAN CHOI Iraq war veteran Kipp Williams, a 27-year-old San Francisco resident, said he moved to California from the South seeking equality but realized after Proposition 8 that gay people are second-class citizens everywhere. Contrary to the California Supreme Court's decision on the legality of the referendum, he said "there is no exception to the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution." Sara Schoonover-Martin, 34, came from Martinsburg, W.Va., with her wife, Nicki, wearing matching veils and pink T-shirts that said "bride" and "I do". The couple eloped at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts earlier this year. "When marriage is legalized in West Virginia, we will renew our vows and have our family and friends there," Sara said.

Last week, the government used its star witness — childhood friend John Alite — to convince a Manhattan jury that Gotti was as lethal a threat to society as anyone else in the Gambino crime family once led by his late father, John Gotti Sr The testimony marked the first time in four racketeering trials for Gotti over the last four years that the government had produced a witness who could so dramatically link Gotti to stabbeds, murders and beatings in the 1980s and 1990s. Prosecutions seem intent on taking a shine off the Gotti name that has resulted in part from his sister, who was on the "Growing Up Gotti" TV reality show and whose book, "This Family of Mine," was published with a publicity blitz as her brother's trial began last month.

EDITORIAL BOARD Victims of sexual assault should not be turned away Lawrence Memorial Hospital sending sexual assault victims to another hospital because of a lack of certified nurses, as had happened on Sept. 19 to two students, is unacceptable. Reporting rape and sexual assault is difficult enough, KANSAN'S OPINION Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the Douglas County District Attorney's Office are working together to get more nurses Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) certified. In a letter that District Attorney Charles E. Branson wrote after the Sept. 19 incident to Gene Meyer, Lawrence Memorial Hospital president and CEO, Branson repeated his "offer of assistance in recruiting nurses as volunteers for SANE training." practice as a SANE nurse until they have proven to be competent. It is required that the nurses get recertified every three years. According to the International Forensic Nursing Certification Board's Web site, SANE certification requires nurses with a minimum of two years of experience to complete a sexual assault program. This can be done through a 40-hour class or an equivalent three-hour credit course at an accredited institution. They must then have supervised Janice Early-Weis, Lawrence Memorial Hospital director of community relations, said nurses would have to travel to Tennessee to take the class, but the hospital pays for all travel expenses and the cost of the class. With the SANE certification costing the nurses nothing, why nurses aren't getting certified. "Not every person is suited to do that kind of procedure and exam." Early-Weis said. "It's very emotional." the questions must be asked as to why nurses aren't certified Another aspect of the certification that may turn nurses away is that they may have to testify in court. She said that it's a very technical and complex procedure. In his letter to Meyer, Branson also offered his assistance to "provide courtroom training to your SANE nurses so that they would be more confident in their expectations of what would happen if they would be called to testify in court." Nick Flaucher, Olathe nursing student, said a lot of nursing students didn't know about SANE certification. He said a professor had never mentioned it in any of his classes. Although the University doesn't offer SANE certification, it's important for professors to let nursing students know what it is and how much certified nurses are needed. Early-Weis said there were currently six SANE-certified nurses at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Six nurses is not enough to accommodate the number of sexual assaults that take place in Lawrence. The recent attacks have shed light on a problem that needs to be fixed immediately. Branson should be applauded for the work he has done with Lawrence Memorial Hospital to get more nurses certified. The University should work to create a course that certifies nurses, allowing nurses to become certified in Lawrence. Despite the obstacles facing nurses who want to get this training, this important and much needed certification should be a priority. Lawrence Memorial Hospital should not be forced to turn away victims because of a lack of certified nurses. EDITORIAL CARTOON Kate Larrabee for The Kansas Editorial Board. RETREAT! CHARGE! NICHOLAS SAMBALUK LGBT Leaving the closet: a coming out story Coming out of the closet is a defining moment in every LGBT person's life. It's more than just the moment you decide to tell someone you are LGBT; it includes that moment and every moment afterward for the rest of your life. With coming out, you can find yourself loved and accepted, rejected and disowned, or even in physical danger. Sunday was National Coming Out Day, an annual holiday observed every Oct. 11 to bring more focus to LGBT issues and awareness. In honor of this holiday, I would like to share my coming out story to bring the LGBT world a bit more into your reality. For those of you working toward coming out or already are out, it is my hope you can find some comfort in my story. For everyone else, I hope you find amusement and a better understanding of what it means to come out. "Happy Birthday Dad! I'm gay!" OK, so my coming out experience didn't go quite like that, but you can be assured my father's 48th birthday was definitely memorable. "Happy Birthday Dad! I'm gay!" QUEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN I was confused about who I was and suffocating in my ever-shrinking closet. The people I was closest to were the very ones I was petrified to tell. Looking back, I realize I had nothing to worry about, but some of the horror stories of kids getting kicked out of their homes or ostracized by their friends had me at near-panic attack level. I spent my junior year of high school building up the courage to talk to my parents. I was almost ready to tell them when that fateful birthday dinner happened. For a few months prior to this night, I had spoken with my siblings about me questioning my sexual identity. They pressured me to come out to our parents. Several times they even tried to "out" me themselves as blackmail when wed get into sibling fights. It never worked, but it made me more wary about how my parents and others would react Anyway, back to dinner. So we're sitting in a booth waiting for our meals when my father asked about the latest in our lives. I started to respond when my sister blurted out, "Lauren's bii" Oh. My. God. As I sat there wondering if life as I knew it was going to be the same ever again, my mother hugged me. She said how proud she was of me before turning to my sister and grounded her for outing me. My father finished his beer, ordered another and told me it's OK — he loved me for me. Whew! I know how lucky I am to have all of my family supporting me. But many LGBT people aren't so lucky, which is why coming out is so important. Finding that strength in oneself to do something not knowing what the reaction will be takes a lot of courage, and the more of us who come out, the more we can inspire others to do the same. Though you may not get the same reactions I did, know that you're not alone and that there's plenty of supportive people around you with caring hearts. Bornstein is a Lawrence senior in women's studies. DIVERSITY Sexual lifestyles beyond LGBT Sunday was national Coming Out Day. Similar to the Day of Silence and Gay Pride Week, most of the attention centers on lesbians, bisexuals, gays and transsexuals. But there are more sexual orientations and sexual lifestyles than those, and each one is difficult to reveal in American society. With the Mormon compound scandals, involving religion-based, underage poly-marriages, and shows such as "Big Love," polyamory's prominence in the media is increasing. Even so, it's still in its baby stages compared to other sexual rights movements. People may still assume that polyamory automatically includes Mormonism and non-consensual, underage marriages. The truth is, polyamory is just another sexual lifestyle. Poly families consist of three or more people in a committed relationship — sometimes they all date each other, sometimes someone's girlfriend has her own girlfriend and so on. Despite the argument about where polyamory fits in with swinging (partnerswapping) and open relationships (a relationship in which lovers can form outside romances), polyamory is a valid form of love, as are the other two. Then there is fetishism. Fetishism is much more in the public eye than polyamory "bondage" is constantly used in crime dramas — but by no means more accepted. Many people view fetishism as a product of mental illness. But in 1994, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV changed its criteria so that consensual sadomasochism — a mixing of pain and pleasure — on its own is not considered an illness. In order to qualify as an illness, the manual said, "the fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors (must) cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning." Sadomasochism is not uncommon, either. The 1990 "Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex" found that "five to ten percent of the U.S. population engages in sadomasochism for sexual Maryam Kafrooz LYTTON COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES MELISSA LYTTON — more variations of fetishism exist than is possible to list here. However, the report does show that clinical professionals are starting to view sexual "deviants" as not so deviant after all. I inevitably, questions of morality come up whenever discussing non-mainstream sexuality. In my interactions with members of the poly communities, I've definitely run into unpleasant people, but no more than I have when hanging around mainstream society. Fetishists live by a strict motto: "Safe, sane and consensual." I haven't met a group of people more concerned with the mental and physical health of their partners than fetishists. "If a child is raised in a home where the adults are honest, open, loving and consistently present, physically and emotionally, it's not going to matter whether those adults are monogamous or polyamorous," Sid Mansfield, a child and family therapist, said in an article in the Tucson Weekly. As for polyamory, practitioners must refrain from triteness and jealousy for their relationships to work. The poly families I've known have been great communicators. Their children also benefit from constant adult supervision, akin to the support a traditional extended family could provide. There's nothing inherently wrong about either of these life-styles, and yet people who follow them are still unable to come out for fear of professional and child-care related repercussions. They deserve just as much recognition in their struggles on Coming Out Day, and they deserve just as much respect as the rest of us. Lytton is a Kodiak, Ala., senior in creative writing. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Proposed bill will benefit students Federal Perkins Loan but as proposed Loan F to be available Direct Loan Pro In response to Tuesday's letter to the editor, "Student loans too important to cut," I am writing to clarify that H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act now before Congress, would only change the way the Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS and the Federal Grad PLUS loans are administered. This bill would not eliminate these federal educational loan programs. If Congress passes this act, students will continue to be awarded Federal Direct Loans as they are now. There are some proposed changes in this bill to the This act would also be beneficial for students in that it provides $40 billion over 10 years to increase the maximum Federal Pell Grant to $5,500. The act would ensure annual Pell amounts would increase annually thereafter by the rise in the Consumer Price Index plus one percent. Additionally, the bill proposes significant simplification of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to make the process much easier for students and their parent(s) to complete.

DISAPPOINTING DISPLAY 33 46 Weston White/KANSAN Senior cornerback Justin Thornton misses a tackle on Iowa State running back Alexander Robinson.

Defensive weaknesses exposed Saturday's conference opener against Iowa State sheds light on Kansas' problem areas PAGE 1B BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com The other half sat with sullen eyes and grim words, relivin- ing a nightmare that moments before nearly cost Kansas its Big 12 opener against Iowa State.

That half of the room discussed fallen records and career-bests from a productive day. t Follow Kansan writer Jayson Jenkens at twitter. jcom/JaysonJenkens Kansas' offense turned in its best performance of the season. But the most eventful — and thoroughly disappointing — twist on Saturday dealt with a defense that was stripped and exposed for all the Big 12 to see. That it came at the hands of one of the conference's least potent offenses only made it worse. Iowa State's offense slugged, pushed and simply dismantled Kansas' defense on Saturday — and the layhawks did little to fight back. "I see what's going on, and we've got to get this fixed or else we're just going to end up an average team," senior cornerback Justin Thornton said. "There's no way we're going to win the Big 12 North or beat some of these other teams in our league playing SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B With Kansas' victory against Iowa State so split COMMENTARY — the offense played great, the defense struggled — The Kansan will spend two days analyzing the Jayhawks' conference opener. Today focuses on the defense's shaky performance. Tomorrow will look at a record-breaking outing by the offense. Defense subpar against Iowa St. BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com It would be hard not to feel a bit schizophrenic after watching Kansas' 41-36 victory against Iowa State. Unlike the defense, Kansas' offense put forth a virtuoso performance, almost to a man. Todd Reesing rarely had to use his famed scrambling ability; instead, he sat comfortably behind a seamless offensive line and picked apart Iowa State's defense. On the rare occasion that Reesing did have to move, he did so with the frenzied grace that has become his trademark, finding open receivers for big gains. And there were open receivers. Two of them, Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, seemed to be perpetually open. The two lacerated Iowa State's secondary, Briscoe primarily deep, and Meier more often underneath. But despite the varied methods, the success was the same. Briscoe nabbed 12 passes, only to be outdone by Meier's 16. Briscoe also set Kansas' all-time record in receiving yards, but Meier again came out on top in the game of one-upsmanship by setting a school record for career receptions and receptions in a single game. Reeing, Meier and Briscoe are the glamor names on Kansas' offense and for good reason. But the collective performance of Kansas' offensive line shouldn't be overlooked on a record-setting day. Neither should the gutsy effort from Toben Opurum, who showed impossible polish in the passing game for a freshman. SEE COLUMN ON PAGE 5B SOCCER Team trumps Texas Tech, beat by Buffalos BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Despite finally getting its first conference victory, the Kansas soccer team didn't get exactly the weekend it hoped for. The team went 1-1 for its first big 12 games, defeating Texas Tech 3-2 on Friday before a frustrating 0-1 loss to Colorado Sunday. Kansas now sits at 10th in the Big 12 standings after its 1-4 start to conference play. But coach Mark Francis remained optimistic after his team's play this weekend. "If we continue to play like that, we're going to win more games than we lose," he said after Sunday's Colorado game. It didn't look good for the Jayhawks after going down 0-1 in the first half after a goal from Lady Raider Dawn Ward. But the deficit only lit a fire under Kansas, which came out firing in the first minutes of the second half. The team's play on Friday was enough to knock off Texas Tech (8-6-1 overall, 3-2-1 conference), which came into the game as the second-ranked team in the Big 12. "We were all actually pretty pumped up to get it back and win the first conference game," freshman forward Whitney Berry said. Seven minutes into the second half, Berry scored the equalizer. t drilling a shot from a difficult angle into the top of the goal. Seven minutes later, she added one more off a cross from junior Caitlin Noble that bounced around in front of the goal before Berry put it in from just a few yards out. Then, just three minutes later, in the 63rd minute, Berry played a ball into the penalty area to freshman Shelby Williamson, who slotted it into the goal for the team's third goal in 10 minutes. Follow Kansan writer Joel Peterson at twitter. com/j_petter. Texas Tech got one back in the 89th minute with a goal from freshman Connor Williams, but Kansas still finished with the victory, breaking its three-game Big 12 losing streak. But frustration replaced relief when the team lost to the top team in the Big 12, Colorado (7-7 overall, 5-2 conference), on Sunday. The Jayhawks went down 1-0 in the first half after Colorado freshman Erin Bricker dribbed past the Kansas defense and finished with a low shot into the corner of the goal. The team never recovered. "It's kind of a relief. It's about time," said Williamson. Senior Shannon McCabe, last year's co-leading scorer for Kansas, played for the first time since the second game of the season on Friday after sitting out with a knee injury. McCabe came on as a substitute in both games, playing 31 minutes against Texas Tech and 37 against Colorado. Coach Francis said McCabe was still working to improve her fitness level to play more. GAME NOTES - Redshirt freshman Kat Liebetrau started in goal for Kansas in both games this weekend. Liebetrau started Freshman Shelby Williamson tied redshirt sophomore Emily Cressy for most goals scored on the team with her game-winner against Texas Tech. Williamson now has six goals on the season, and the team record for goals by a freshmen is eight, held by both Cressy and Rachel Gilfilan, who had eight in 2001. the first five games of the season before losing the starting spot to senior Julie Hanley for the next eight games. She had six saves against Texas Tech and one against Colorado. "In the second half we came out on fire," said senior Monica Dolinsky. "We just got unlucky in front of the goal." Unlucky seems a pretty accurate assessment of the second half, as Kansas outshot Colorado 14-2 in the period and hit the crossbar twice on shots from Berry and sophomore Emily Cressy. Freshman midfielder Whitney Berry watches her shot sail into the net for a second half goal against Texas Tech Friday afternoon. The Jayhawks scored three straight goals to overcome an early 1-0 deficit to beat the Red Raiders 3-2. Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN The team members were frustrated after dropping their first home game of the season, but Francis stayed positive about his team's performance nonetheless. GIRL SQUAD "That's probably the best half of soccer we played all year," he said about the second period. "When you play like we did, you can tell it feels coed," she said. Dolinsky agreed that the players weren't too hard on themselves after the game. Even with its 1-4 conference record, the team still has a 9-4-1 overall record and five games to play. Francis is keeping his players focused on their overall goal of doing well in the postseason. "We can win the next five games." ne said. "I think we're very capable of doing that. If we show up and play like this, we give ourselves a very good chance of winning." Kansas goes on the road for the final time this season to face Oklahoma on Friday and Bayton on Sunday. - Edited by Brenna M. T.

Associated Proc Tiger Woods leads U.S. to win Presidents Cup PGA SAN FRANCISCO — Tiger Woods provided a fitting conclusion Sunday to a perfect week at the Presidents Cup, for him and an American team that remains perfect at home. With a flop shot out of the trees to set up one last birdie, Woods won the point that clinched the cup and made him only the third player in the Presidents Cup to win all five matches. His 6-and-5 victory over Y.E. Yang was a tiny token of revenge for Woods blowing a final-round lead to him in the PGA Championship this summer. Even so, it was the first time in either the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup that Woods earned the decisive point. And he didn't even know it. "Oh, perfect," Woods said, an apt choice of words. "All I knew was I was trying to get my point, and I was 5 up trying to make it 6." Phil Mickelson wrapped up another anticlimacial finish with a 7-foot birdie putt for a 2-and-1 victory over Retief Goosen, leaving Leffy unbeaten (4-0-1) in the Presidents Cup for the second time in the last three contests. Associated Press World Cup qualification ignored MORNING BREW So the U.S. soccer team qualified for the World Cup this weekend, although without Twitter or the Web you wouldn't know it. Saturday's clinching of the World Cup berth was only available on closed-circuit television in select establishments — I'm unsure whether any Lawrence bars had this. It was, as Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl worded it, "a throw back to the 1980" and "a step backward" for the sport. That said, it was an opportunity for Wahl, who was born in this writer's hometown of Mission, to cover the hell out of the game on the Web, meet Honduras' interim president and later get robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight. In an effort to gauge the importance of Honduras' push for a World Cup berth, Wahl traversed between towns for a variety of takes from a variety of people — one included a clown that "said that he clowns at birthday parties, Christmas celebrations and even funerals." One such trip took Wahl to the embassy district of Tegucigalpa, where deposed president Manuel Zelaya rested in the Brazilian embassy. After interviewing a few of the many heavily armed police officers near the embassy, Wahl walked back to his car, parked a few blocks away and not far from the U.S. embassy, and encountered a 20-something male who ran up from behind, pulled a gun and threatened to kill Wahl if he didn't turn over his belongings. The robber made off with BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com Wahl's wallet and iPhone, but thankfully the writer made off with his safety. "But I did survive, chastened and a bit embarrassed," Wahl wrote. "Interim president Micheletti apologized for the robbery and said that it no doubt was a Zelava supporter." Check out Wahl's blog on SI.com as well as his coverage of what became a thrilling 3-2 U.S. victory. MORE RECOMMENDED READING Also be sure to check out one of the finest sports writers alive today, Wright Thompson, and his excellent piece that is currently (and criminally) buried on ESPN. com. I think you go to the site, then click on the MLB link and weed through the three slides of main stories you'll access his Outside The Lines essay titled "Seats of Gold." Thompson purchases one of Yankee Stadium's $1,200 Legends Suite seats. You can feel the conflicted feelings Thompson encounter when his ticket — which ridiculously is not an actual ticket, but an 8-by-11 computer print-out — grants him complete access to complimentary port wine-glazed hanger steak with the sauvignon glaze reduction and a crispy pork belly Brie potato bake, among other delicacies. Additionally, Thompson details perfectly his sitting and eating peanuts while sipping on Dom Champagne. "Of course, therein lies the irony of a populist rant against a place that keeps people out," Thompson writes. "Do I approve of Augusta National's policies? No. Would I accept a membership? You bet your ass." This is far from a Travel Channel-esque depiction of the posh locale. Far from it. Thompson goes to great pains to illustrate the absurdity of the seats and how the push for more, more, more has even squeezed for the last time the great-grandchild of what was once one of the nation's five richest men. It's dense reading but it's also one of the finest sports stories written this year. Be sure to keep an eye out for this stat, a stat that Thompson is compelled to repeat: 75 percent of families can never afford to attend a live pro sporting event. Lost in the depressing, muddled mess that was the Kansas City Chiefs' collapse and eventual overtime defeat Sunday was the continuation of a historical streak by offseason-acquisition Mike Vrabel. VRABEL MONEY AGAIN Early in the first quarter, Vrabel — a linebacker — hauled in a 1-yard pass for a touchdown on third and goal to make his career totals in the end zone 11-for-11 THE MORNING BREW on passes thrown his way. You may recall the 13-year veteran's postseason grabs with the New England Patriots, but what makes his 11th touchdown on Sunday all the more incredible is the inability of Dallas' defense to stop him. How the hell does this man get open when he's on the field? You know the intention. Why not take him out of the game? This brings to mind a former Chiefs defensive player doing the same a few years ago. Anyone hoping to get their YouTube on — and, for that matter, any Chiefs fan hoping to continue his or her downtrodden mood — ought to seek Jared Allen's touchdown catch from 2007. And then watch any Vikings game these days and remind yourselves that the Allen trade was the worst Chiefs transaction in recent years ... perhaps of all time.

Kaiser had two spikes and five kills. BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team was swept for the third-straight match as Kansas lost to No.14 Iowa State 0-3 this weekend. Kansas is a good team, but it looked amateurish against Iowa State, sophomore setter Nicole Tate said. "They are tough,but tonight we got outcoached, outworked and outplayed, and that's our own fault," Tate said. "We need to find a way to turn this around." Kansas only had two. The powerful blocking kept Kansas from being able to get into an offensive rhythm, coach Ray Bechard said. iowa State had its way at the nets and racked up 13 blocks while t Kansas fell to 9-7 (2-5) while Iowa state improved to 13-4 (6-2).

Kansas could never find an answer and lost the first set 18-25. iowa State came The second set started out even, but a 6-1 run in the middle of the set gave Iowa State an edge that Kansas could not overcome. Kansas kept a sluggish pace to lose the set 16-25. After being down 0-2, the drive to win slowly went away during the third set, Tate said. Even after starting the third set even, Iowa State led during most of the set and Kansas lost 17-25. Kansas will face its thirdstraight ranked opponent as it plays host to undefeated No. 2 Texas this Wednesday at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. Kansas can't let its losses linger if it wants to stay competitive in the Big 12, Bechard said. "There is not one moment where you can doubt yourself in this league or take a step sideways or back," Bechard said. "You can only look ahead at what's in front of us." NFL — Edited by Alicia Banister Chiefs lose in overtime to Cowboys BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Miles Austin looked nothing like a backup making his first career start. Stepping in for injured wide receiver Roy Williams, Austin caught 10 passes for a franchise-record 250 yards and scored the winning touchdown in overtime of the Cowboys' 26-20 victory Sunday over the winless Kansas City Chiefs. In dooming the Chiefs to their 28th loss in 30 games, Austin erased the record of 246 yards that Hall of Famer "Bullet" Bob Hayes set against Washington almost 39 years ago. "It's a feeling that's unbelievable," he said. "It's amazing. I never seen that coming today. I was ready today, but you never expect a huge game like that." Austin'stackle-breaking59-yard catch-and-run from Tony Romo gave the mistake-prone Cowboys a 20-13 lead over the Chiefs with 2:16 left. Then after Matt Cassel's 16-year TD pass to Dwayne Bowe tied it 20-20 with 24 seconds to go in regulation, Austin got free on a 60-yard scoring play on Dallas second in overtime. Each time, he broke the tackle of cornerback Maurice Legettg. "It's very frustrating," Leggett said. "But we also have to focus on the bigger stuff so we can get better each and every day. Don't take big jumps and focus on getting 2 percent better every day." Kansas City (0-5) is winless for 315 days and has lost eight in a row at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs were nearly invincible during the 1990s. "I thought the guys fought hard in all phases," said coach Todd Haley. "I know the guys are hurting." Austin is the third Cowboys receiver when Williams is healthy. But he was unstoppable against the Chiefs, who led most of the game but couldn't take advantage of the many opportunities the Cowboys kept handing them. "I just wanted to show people I'm ready to play. I wanted to show my teammates that I want to contribute as much as I can," he said. "I was able to do that." Dallas (3-2) was penalized 13 times for 90 yards and Romo over three open receivers. Other passes were dropped. Dallas also muffed a punt and missed a field goal attempt. "Our guys fought the whole game but we didn't do all the right things," said coach Wade Phillips. "There are things we need to work on, but the bottom line is winning and guys coming through." So has Austin cracked the starting lineup? "We are going to try and keep him playing," Phillips said. "There is no doubt about that." Late in the fourth quarter, Austin caught Romo's pass, broke loose from tackles by Leggett and safety Mike Brown, and sped 59 yards to give the Cowboys their first lead of the day. Then Cassel swept the Chiefs down the field, hitting Bowe in the end zone on fourth-and-7. Ryan Succop, who had a 53-yard field goal attempt blocked by Jay Ratliff right before Dallas' last TD in regulation, kicked the extra point for the tie. Romo was 20 for 34 for 351 yards and two TDs. Cassel, still winless since being traded from New England, was 23 for 41 for 263 yards. Say Jayhawk Be seen wearing your shirt. Win $50 this Tuesday.

The weather was cold and windy and usually those winterish conditions tend to tilt the scale in favor of the defenses. Not Saturday, when neither the dropping temperatures nor gusts of wind could help Kansas' defense stop Iowa State's attack. State outscored Kansas 18-7 in the third quarter, wrestling the lead away on multiple occasions. The Cyclones opened the game with a touchdown and continued scoring even after the Jayhawks seemed to grab hold of the game with a 20-12 halftime lead. Iowa "To play defense here the way we always talk about it is you can't be successful here without that good. Mangino made it clear that he wasn't tossing the defense under the bus, but he also never attempted to downplay the disappointing nature of Kansas' performance. "I really believe that maybe as a coach I need to get things simplified a little bit," Mangino said. "We may just have a little too much. My philosophy has always been I'd rather have less and be good fundamentally than have more and just be ragged fundamentally. "Even the best fundamental teachers sometimes get caught up in the scheme business because it really looks good on the board. And I have to understand that what's great on the board may not be great for our players." tough mental edge," coach Mark Mangino said. "I think some kids on the defense have it, but not all of them do. And I think some of them were exposed today. I knew in April they were going to be exposed — you all found out today." Shortly after the game, Mangino addressed the issues surrounding Kansas' defense, and his analysis placed blame onto his own shoulders. Whatever the case, Kansas easily played its worst defensive game of the season. "I really believe that maybe as a coach I need to get things simplified a little bit." The Jayhawks missed tackles, routinely allowed open receivers down the field and took a beating from Iowa State's running attack. Plus, Mangino and his players said many mistakes were simply fundamental, such as missed assignments ch as missed assignments MARK MANGINO Kansas coach --and improper alignments. "Regardless of what it is, you can't let that happen." Thornton said. "Even if you haven't seen it before, you have to be able to adjust on the go and get things taken care of during the game. There's no excuse for letting them do what they did to us." For a unit attempting to shed a label of liability that carried over from last season's defense, Saturday's game marked a giant step backward. Added sophomore cornerback Ryan Murphy: "We weren't seltine off blocks. We weren't making tackles. We really just weren't making plays." And, surprisingly, the game literally was decided in the final minutes. With Iowa State facing fourth and nine from Kansas' 31-yard line, the Jayhawks MURPHY 23 Weston White/KANSA blitzed, leaving their defensive backs in man coverage. Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud scrambled away from defenders, lobbing a deep pass down the middle of the field that fell a few feet beyond the outstretched arms of a wide-open Darius Darks. Sophomore nickel back ryan Murphy breaks up a pass along the sideline during the first half against Iowa State. Murphy had four tackles and a sack in the Jayhawks 41-36 victory against the Cyclones. "When he launched that ball in the air and you take a peek and see the guy running wide open in the end zone, your heart definitely drops," Thornton said. "Just a few yards and we could have easily been sitting here disappointed." Still, the unanimous consensus from Kansas' defense revolved around a simple theme. "Somebody not long ago asked me about this' team compared to the 2007 team," Mangino said. "On Sure, the Jayhawks were pleased to escape an early-season scare. But the unit revealed new holes and uncertainties that must be fixed. offense, it's a fair comparison. But told you that you couldn't make a complete comparison because we had to mature in some areas.

But make wause weas. An wee KANSAS 81 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Thompso Notes Offensive pass protection best yet After Saturday's game, coach Mark Mangino continued to label senior running back Jake Sharp's availability as day-to-day. Mangino: Sharp still day-to-day Reesing attributes passing yardage totals to strong blockers BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Sharp didn't play against Iowa State because of an undisclosed injury suffered during practice in the week leading up to Kansas' game against Duke on Sept. 19. cgoble@kansan.com Sharp hasn't played a full game since rushing for 104 yards against UTEP on Sept 12. Mark Mangino said he thought the offensive line's pass protection Saturday was the best he had ever been associated with. Todd Reesing said his gaudy passing yardage totals were a tribute to the offensive line's efforts. He also said it was the most consistent pass protection he has had in his three years as starting quarterback. "We're kind of going day-to-day with him. We just don't know," Mangino said. "We're hopeful that he'll be ready for Colorado, but our medical staff said that they're not in the position to say that because the healing process for him is not moving rapidly." Kansas slides in latest AP poll Kansas dropped one spot to 17th in this week's Associated Press poll, while remaining at 15th in the USA Today/ Coaches poll. But left guard Brad Thorson said he hated the attention. After Kansas' 41-36 victory against Iowa State, Thorson said the offensive line would rather see the spotlight back on Reesing, Kerry Meier and Toben Opurum. Kansas is 5-0 this season, one of just nine undefeated teams in the country. Thorson cited the unit's consistency all game, and it would be hard to argue with him. Opurum rushed for 98 yards and Reesing threw 49 times without being sacked. The offensive line's solid pass protection also allowed Reesing to stay in the pocket longer instead of scrambling. Reesing said his internal clock went off a few times, but then he looked in front of him and saw that the linemen were still holding — Jayson Jenks t Follow Kansan writer Clark Goble at twitter.com/cgoble89. their blocks. "Any time you have protection like that and you have receivers that are as good as I have, it's easy to find guys that are open," Payne said. Reesing said. Thorson said the offensive line's lives were a lot easier when Reesing stayed between the tackles. "We like it when Todd stays in the pocket, but "Any time you have... receivers that are as good as I have, it's easy to find guys that are open." there's no reason to say we mind it when he leaves because he makes plays," Thorson said. Mangino and Thorson also spoke highly of freshman Toben Opurum's ability to pick up blitzers and help in pass protection. punishing blows on linebackers running free on blitzes. He said he liked sending a message as a blocker and that a good block could discourage blitzers from coming as hard the next time. "You can't show that you're intimidated," Opurum said. "I think if you deliver the blow instead of taking it, it leaves them intimidated also." TODD REESING Quarterback "The offensive line would love to take the full credit for it, but we got a sixth guy helping us out there," Thorson said. "He did an amazing job all game." Opurum delivered a few Thorson said Opurum sometimes even took on more responsibility than he should and saw things you might not expect a freshman to see. "Without him, I don't know if we would have been able to achieve as "This isn't where we want to stop. We want to continue to get better,"Thorson said." Hopefully every game is as good as what we just had." Despite a nearly perfect game in terms of pass protection, Thorson said the offensive line wouldn't be satisfied with its performance. much as we did on offense." Thorson said. Edited by Betsy Cutcliff 54 Weston White/KANSAN Senior receiver Kerry Meier breaks free of an Iowa linebacker. Meier set a school record with 16 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns Saturday against the Cyclones. Kansas won 41-36 and will play Colorado in Boulder this Saturday. COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) It would be cliche to say that a quarterback needs his offensive line to block well in order to perform his best — cliche, but also true. Similarly, Reesing couldn't have found Meier and Briscoe as often as he did without Opurum's contributions. Unfortunately, the defense was a perfectly terrifying Mr. Hyde to the offense's brilliant Dr. jekyll. State is not the best offense Kansas will face during the remainder of the season. But you'd hardly have guessed as much following Saturday's game. Behind a physically dominant offensive line, Alexander Robinson gashed the Jayhawks. The Iowa State running back carried the ball 27 times for 152 yards, scoring twice. Quarterback Austen Arnaud added 69 rushing DINE.

KU DINING SERVICES DINE IN with KU Dining Services. Which is not to say that Arnaud had too much trouble finding open receivers most of the time. Gaping holes in Kansas' zone ensured that he could usually find a man running free. When Kansas opted for man defense, as it did on Iowa State's final play, Arnaud nearly connected with a wide-open Darius Darks on what may well have been a game-winning score. That the ball sailed past Darks' outstretched fingers shouldn't offer much comfort to Jayhawk fans, and it probably doesn't. The potentially good news is that coach Mangino claims to know what the defense's problems are. He cites an overabundance of complicated schemes and a lack of sound fundamentals. In theory, lessening one should decrease the other, leading to a better defense. But in practice? The answer to that question could very well decide how the rest of the season goes for Kansas. The offense, almost certainly, will continue to light up scoreboards around the Big 12. But for Kansas to achieve results on par with its expectations, the defense needs to stop opposing teams from doing likewise. Edited by Amanda Thompson Quote of the Game Coach Mark Mangino on the combination of Reesing, Briscoe and Meier: "I'm not one to go out on a limb or anything, but I'd be hard-pressed to think that there is a better pitching and catching unit in the country than those guys. I don't watch everybody and I don't know what goes on across the country, but I'd be hard-pressed to say that there is one better than them." Mangino Game Balls 3. Dezmon Briscoe. Briscoe had impressive numbers: 12 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Briscoe also became Kansas' career leader in receiving yards. 2. Kerry Meier: Working mostly underneath Iowa State's defense, Meier hauled in a school-record 16 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers alone tell the story. 1. Todd Reesing and the offensive line: After the first quarter, much of Kansas' offensive workload fell onto Reesing. He delivered, piling up a career-high 442 yards and four touchdowns. Much of his success can be attributed to the work of the offensive line, who consistently allowed Reesing plenty of time to throw the ball. Delay of Games 3. Maxwell Oneyegule. Onyegule recorded four tackles but he wasn't disruptive. He had zero tackles for a loss and wasn't much of a factor in the game. 1. The defense as a whole: In Kansas' four nonconference games, the defense appeared to take strides from last season's unit. If so, the Jayhawks took another big step backward on Saturday. Kansas never generated stops and Iowa State moved the ball with ease. 2. Daymond Patterson: Through four games, Patterson was Kansas' best corner back. But he sure didn't play that way on Saturday. Patterson was burned for a jump-ball touchdown, while also surrendering another deep pass down the sideline. Play of the Game Trailing Iowa State by three in the third quarter, senior quarterback Todd Reesing found a popular target to recapture the lead. With plenty of time to throw, Reesing fired a deep pass down the middle of the field to junior wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe, who was working against Leanord Johnson in single coverage. At the goal line, Briscoe shed Johnson to make a diving catch for a 46-yard touchdown. Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL... Kansas survived, keeping its Big 12 North title chances intact. Sure, the Jayhawks failed to put the Cyclones away until the final two minutes. But, at the very least, Kansas buckled down just enough to survive an upset — something many other teams haven't been able to avoid this season. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY... Where to begin? Kansas struggled from the beginning, allowing a lesser Iowa State team to remain in the game. The most alarming trend, though, was the play of the defense, who struggled for the second consecutive game. For the first time all season, the Jayhawks couldn't stop the run or the pass. BIGGEST ANSWER... Simply put, no. The defensive line didn't stop Iowa State running back Alexander Robinson, who gashed the defense for 152 yards. And the line didn't put much pressure on Iowa State quarterback Austin Arnaud, who completed 25-of-40 attempts for 293 vards. The offense is as good as ever. Not that many people were questioning the Jayhawks, but Reeing and the rest of the offense certainly played their best game of the season. The offensive line played fantastically and the Jayhawks were productive throughout the game. STILL QUESTIONING... The secondary: The unit didn't make many plays on the ball, often letting Iowa State receivers find openings. Even on the Cyclones' final play, the Jayhawks allowed wide receiver Darius Darks to run uncontested down the field. Only a slightly overthrown pass kept the Kansas victory intact. Colorado hasn't played well this season on defense or offense. Still, Boulder is a tough place for teams to play. Oklahoma lost there two years ago. Kansas must improve on defense to improve to 6-0. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? LOOKING AHEAD... Original prediction: Kansas 49, Iowa State 13. Actual score: Kansas 41, Iowa State 36. There's one way to sum up this prediction; just plain awful. It couldn't have been more wrong. FINALTHOUGHT... Saturday revealed the two sides of Kansas' football team: the highly productive offense and the shaky defense. Sure, the Jayhawks played well on offense, but it's hard not to dwell on the defense's less-than-mediocre performance. That's not a good sign at the beginning of conference play.

LOUIS ASSOCIATED PRESS St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Joel Pineiro sits alone in the dugout during the fifth inning after being pulled out of Game three of the National League division baseball series against the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday in St. Louis. Associated Press BY R.B. FALLSTROM ST. LOUIS — Unemployed in August and a star for the Los Angeles Dodgers in October; Once Vicente Padilla got out of the first inning, he slammed the door on the St. Louis Cardinals' season. The second-chance pitcher kept Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday quiet in a 5-1 victory Saturday night that gave Los Angeles a second straight trip to the National League championship series. "Anytime you win a series it's good," Casey Blake said. "But to sweep the Cardinals, it just doesn't happen. I would have never guessed we would have swept them." The Dodgers got their sweep in a series that will be remembered most for Holliday's pivotal dropped fly ball with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 2. Andre Ethier missed the cycle by a single, Manny Ramirez had three hits and two RBIs and the Dodgers didn't need another St. Louis fielding blunder to sweep their division series opponent for a second straight season. Los Angeles scored all five runs with two outs. Closer Jonathan Broxton struck out Rick Ankiel for the last out and pumped his fist as the Dodgers ran out to the mound to celebrate becoming the first team to advance to the championship series. They await the winner of the Philadelphia-Colorado series that is even at a game apiece. The Phillies beat Los Angeles in the NLSC last season in five games. Puiols and Holliday were a combined 2 for 8 with a late RBI for the Cardinals, who never recharged after becoming the first National League team to clinch a division title. Counting the postseason St. Louis was 1-9 after wrapping up the NL Central, and was swept for the first time in the division series or NLCS play and only for the third time overall in the postseason. Pujols, 3 for 10 with an RBI and no extra-base hits in the series, left Busch Stadium without speaking to reporters. Holliday was 2 for 12 with a solo homer. "We had some good at-bats here or there but as far as stringing anything together we had a hard time," Holliday said. Padilla, designated for assignment by the Rangers in early August, was 4-0 the final month with the Dodgers before shutting down the Cardinals on four hits over seven innings in his first career postseason appearance. After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning he was dominant, retiring 19 of 21 hitters against a team he last faced in 2003. "Big lineup," Padilla said through an interpreter. "I just tried to make the pitches that I knew I was capable of throwing." The Dodgers were already up 3-0 in the third inning when starter Joel Pineiro dropped Pujols' simple toss at first for an error on James Loney's grounder for the Cardinals. Holliday got a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 47,296 before his first at-bat with two men on and one out in the first. Then he tapped out to the mound. Over and over, he said he was touched by the ovation. Even if it was a recruiting pitch for a player headed for free agency. "Whatever it was, I'm appreciative of it," Holiday said. "Obviously that was a hard pill for me to swallow, that ball. To get that kind of acknowledgment, I'm very appreciative."

S. BAYLEY KANSAN FILE PHOTO Junior swimmer lulia Kuzhl competes in the mixed 100-yard individual medley during the alumni swim meet at Robinson Natatorium Sept. 14. At Friday's intrasquid meet, Kuzhl took first in the 50-ward freestyle with a time of 24.39. Swimmers step up intensity BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com The Kansas swimming and diving team fought through fatigue and competed well at its intrasquad meet Friday. "I thought we did really well," freshman Brooke Brull said, "especially since we were all pretty tired and worn out." The team recently finished up a six-week "boot camp" of intense training, and was still feeling the effects of the intensive training. "It was a difficult week," coach Clark Campbell said. "We just switched over to a new practice format." The meet included both Crimson and Blue squads, which enhanced the competition and provided the spark for a few notable individual performances that impressed Campbell. At the end of the day, the Blue squad defeated the Crimson squad by 20 points. "We got really competitive and pushed each other," freshman swimmer Rebecca Swank said. Campbell said he was impressed T Follow Kansan writer Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/andrew_taylor11. that Brull, a Blue squad member, finished third overall in both the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyle events in only her second collegiate meet. She won her heat in the 200-yard fly after building a comfortable lead in the first lap and finished strongly to earn a time of 1:55.78. Swank led the way for the Crimson team and was also praised by Campbell. Swank paced herself well throughout the 1,000-yard and 500-yd freestyle events and strategically made her moves to take first in both with times of 10:31.41 and 5:09.64, respectively. "In distance events, you have to think about going out fast and staying strong the whole race," Swank said. Also aiding the Blue squad in garnering a 130-110 victory against the Crimson squad was junior swimmer juliaa Kuzhil. Kuzhil won first place in the 50-yard freestyle as she used a strong turn to win by a full body length with a time of 24.39. She also earned first in one of her strongest events, the 100-yard backstroke, with a time of 56.17. Sophomore swimmer Shannon Garlie took advantage of this short coaching period. After swimming in the 1,000-yard freestyle, Campbell told her that she needed to be more aggressive. Garley learned from this mistake and nearly stole first from Swank in the 500-yard freestyle. To help keep the team focused, despite its fatigue, Campbell briefly coached each individual swimmer after their race The Kansas swimming and diving team will next compete at the Big 12 relays Friday beginning at 9 a.m. in Columbia, Mo. Senior diver and team captain Meghan Proehl won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events for the Blue squad.

CAMPUS | 3A TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13,2009 CAMPUS NFA AROSSSE Teaching certification goes to drawing board School of Education wants to condense program to four years BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com Education majors may soon get the opportunity to sync their four-year education degrees with teaching certificates, tossing out the current five-year certification model. The new plan could go into effectin2011,pendingtheapproval of the Kansas Department of Education R i c k Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education, said that the school already offered a four-year degree in education, but that the certificate which is VOLUME 121 ISSUE 39 f required to teach in Kansas, takes an additional year to complete. The clinical work done in the fifth year consists primarily of student teaching and is the bulk of what would be condensed into a four-year model. Follow Jesse Rangel at twitter. com/igglephile. "A lot of people will stay five years anyway and get a full master's degree." "Currently in the four-year program, there is a good amount of field experience that is built into the program," Ginsberg said. RICK GINSBERG Dean of School of F education Ginsberg said the program was changing because options such as Teach for America Lacrosse holds alumni game Club team's reunion match pits former members against current players. CLUB SPORTS | 10A offered alternative ways to get certified. He said the new model would save students tuition dollars and allow them to teach in classrooms faster. Ginsberg said he was still considering how to implement the schedule change with current juniors. Pamela Coleman, director of teacher education and licensure for the Kansas Department of Education, said she endorsed the plan and had confidence in the school's ability to prepare teaching candidates. Although she planned on going to graduate school, she said, the program would be a good for those who wanted to teach immediately after graduation. Kelsey Reed, Leavenworth senior, said she would be graduating after four years without a fifth-year teaching certificate "I think a lot of people are also taking the option of not doing the fifth year during the fifth year — they're getting their master's first and then they're getting certified," Reed said.

But she said she steers clear of beer, not because of the taste but because of the calories. Carly Banks, Wichita senior, employs the same logic: She sticks to vodka and uses diet sodas rather than beer for mixers to limit calories on her Friday and Saturday night drinking escapades. "There are a lot of calories in hard alcohol, but I have to drink more beers, so it takes more calories to get me to the point I'd like to be," Erdall, Edina, Minn., senior, said. E Follow Aly Van Dyke at twitter. com/alyvandyke "If you're going to drink that many calories, you might as well not make it so bad," Banks said. Erdall and Banks have found relatively healthy ways to manage both their weight and social drinking, but others on campus and around the country use a different and dangerous way to balance the two. In an effort to lose weight and maintain drinking habits, some people, particularly college-aged "Anorexics usually are very devoted to being very much in control of themselves," he said. "Alcohol use of course would threaten that source of internal control." Johnson said drunkorexia might be a misleading term, because alcohol abuse is more common among bullimic patients than those with anorexia. SEE DISORDER ON PAGE 3A EATING DISORDERS EXPLAINED Johnson said alcohol abuse was becoming more frequent with late-stage anorexic patients because it serves as a coping mechanism. The National Eating Disorders Association defines anorexia nervosa as 'a potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight gain." Approximately 90 to 95 percent of people suffering from anorexia are female. Between 0.5 and 1 percent of American women suffer from anorexia. According to NEDA, people with bulimia nervosa tend to binge eat and then, through self-induced vomiting, purge themselves of food. The eating disorder affects between one to two percent of adolescent and young adult women. Approximately 80 percent of people with bulimia are female.

Associated Press Who's Who at KU Kevin Willmott BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI cbledowski@kansan.com Kevin Willmott, professor of film and media studies, knows what he's talking about when he teaches his students how to make movies. In addition to teaching, Willmott is a director who has had two movies. "CSA" and "The Only Good Indian," shown at the Sundance Film Festival. "You need to make movies that matter," Willmott said. "They should be worth our while." M. A. R. S. PANTHALAPATHAM Willmott Willmott has been trying to follow his own advice ever since he attended New York University. a departure from his early background. Willmott grew up in Kansas and went to Marymount College in Salina, where he studied drama as an undergraduate. As a graduate student at NYU, he could finally pursue his main interest. "I did theater at the beginning because I didn't have access to film," he said. Although he still worked on plays after graduate school, he followed his passion and entered the film business. In making the transition from a small town such as Junction City to a big city such as Manhattan, N.Y., Willmott said he needed people to help him on this journey. Willmott decided to seek that help by returning to Kansas. Here in Lawrence, he has students who help him when he needs actors or just fresh ideas for his projects. "When you're making independent films, especially your first films, you need a lot of help and I didn't grow up in New York, so I didn't really know anybody there," Willmott said. "Students often have interesting suggestions and input in things I do which I always take if it's a great idea." Willmott said. "It's a great training ground for students." He said he wanted to give something back to his home state. For his project "Community Film Making" he works with his students in small, struggling towns and often receives support from its inhabitants. "Work really hard, learn the craft of it, and then just don't stop," Willmott said. "All the people that I know that have some success in all of this have just been people that just didn't stop." Some of Willmott's favorite movies are "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and the "Blaxploitation" movies of the 70s, and some of his most recent favorites include "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "District 9." Willmott said staying successful in film was a never-ending process of education and hard work. His next projects, besides "Community Film-making," include a screenplay and a TV show for PBS CRIME Man found with corpse in closet of vacant home Edited by Abby Olcese HOUSTON — A Houston man found asleep with a corpse inside a closet of a vacant home has been charged with misdemeanor drug offenses, authorities said Monday. Cody Jean Plant, 21, was discovered Sunday after the owner of the house reported hearing voices and seeing signs of forced entry at the home in Cypress, about 25 miles northwest of Houston, according to a Harris County Precinct 4 Constable official. "There were two guys in the closet. They appeared to be sleeping, one was snoring and the other was deceased," said Assistant Chief Deputy Mark Herman. "It appeared that they were doing some sort of narcotics, at least the one that they woke up" Plant was charged with one count of possession of a dangerous drug and two counts of possession of a controlled substance of more than three grams and less than 28 grams. Associated Press ON THE RECORD About 2 a.m. Thursday near Haskell Ave. and 23rd St., a University student reported the theft of a cell phone, at a loss of $500.

This alcohol abuse, combined with an eating disorder is known to some as "drunkorexia." "It's like balancing a checkbook," said Lesley Latham, president of From the Inside Out, a peer edu- campus that promotes eating disorder awareness Latham, Republic senior, said people with drunkorexia calculated how much they wanted to "It's like balancing a checkbook." LESLEY LATHAM President, From the Inside Out "One is that being thin means you're beautiful and desirable" drink in one night and subtracted that amount from their daily calorie limit. Latham said this could become a problem because those with eating disorders already had a low calorie intake. Jenny McKee, health educator with the Wellness Resource Center, said she had seen the disorder on campus but not to the extreme of completely substituting alcohol for food. She said the presence of drunkorexia among college women was the convergence of two mainstream media messages. McKee said. "And the other is that alcohol will make you have a better time and make you more attractive. That's a pretty terrifying ditchy." Craig Johnson director of the Eating Disorders Program at the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital in Tulsa, said drunkorexia was "probably fairly common among college-age girls." However, Johnson said the behavior probably fell short of a diagnosable eating disorder for most college-aged women. He said substance abuse among actual eating disorder patients was neither new nor uncommon. Johnson said about 25 percent of all eating disorder patients across the country met the criteria for drug and alcohol abuse. Although getting calories only from alcohol could cause weight loss, McKee said the habit came with its own set of health concerns. She said alcohol restricted the intake of nutrients, disrupted sleep cycles and inhibited the building and restoration of muscle tissue. "It's important to know what you're putting into your body, but trying to limit nutritionally dense foods to make room for calories from alcohol is taking it to the extreme," she said. Not eating before going out is another way women try to avoid weight gain, Ann Chapman, coordinator of Nutritional Services with the WRC, said. McKee said that people got drunk with less liquor when there was no food to absorb the alcohol, thereby limiting the calories from both food and alcohol. Banks said she was sure to eat a good meal before going out, so that she did not become too drunk or sick. Erdall said she had, on occasion, skipped the meal before going out as a way to be more economical with her money and her drinking. She said this habit had subsided since she turned 21. Chapman said Instead of skipping dinner, Chapman said students could eat a high protein, high fat meal such as eggs or peanut butter before drinking. Chapman said eating a good "Trying to limit nutritionally dense foods to make room for calories is taking it to the extreme." "Proteins and fats take longer to digest," Chapman said. "They stay in your stomach longer, so you'll be full for three to four hours." and sharing a good meal before drinking also helped maintain blood sugar. Low blood sugar triggers hunger, which, she said, can lead to the infamous and typically unhealthy fourth meal. Chapman said students could eat a bowl of cereal before going to bed if they went to see if they wanted a meal after a night out. She also said to alternate alcoholic drinks with water or diet soda to reduce alcohol intake, rehydrate and reduce calories. "That cuts the calories from alcohol in half and keeps you hydrated so you're not as likely to be hungover the next day," she said. Chapman said drinking light beers, wine spritzers and hard liquor with water or diet sodas were also effective ways to limit calories from alcohol. If students are concerned about gaining weight from drinking. Chapman said they should limit themselves to one or two nights of drinking a week and compensate for the calories by exercising more, cutting back on unhealthy foods or both. For example if students plan to drink 600 calories — the equivalent of about four margaritas or about seven beers — Chapman said they should cut 300 unhealthy calories from their daily diet and burn the other 300 calories by exercising. - Edited by Nick Gerik CAMPUS CAMPUS Forum, discussion to address vampire culture What began with Bram Stoker's Count Dracula more than 100 years ago has now evolved into the trendy Twilight sensation of Edward Cullen and the hit TV series "True Blood." With an onslaught of media exposure of the fictional characters ranging from best-selling novels to major motion pictures, the obsession about vampires is reaching the KU campus. Tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. Heide Crawford, professor of Germanic languages and literature, will host a forum to discuss the historical significance of vampires in literature. John Tibbett, associate professor of film and media studies, said he hated the current trend in vampire popularity. He said that vampire media had become a "cosmeticized Walt Disney high school musical," and that it overshadowed the concept's original idea, which was to confront the dark side of humanity. He said vampire literature should feel profoundly disturbing and have a sardonic sense of humor as opposed to the less complex characters found in books such as the Twilight series. The KU Cauldron student group will hold a separate discussion on the topic of vampire religion Oct. 26. Hilary Hauber, Overland park graduate student and religious studies major, has studied vampire religions and the differences between them. "There is a group of people who practice vampire religions," Hauber said. "Those are people who identify with the archetype of the vampire and fiction and folklore." Jeremy Adkison, Leavenworth sophomore and KU Cauldron president, said the group discussed pagan religions, which included the topic of vampires. "It's really fun to kind of learn what people do in modern sense when you're only used to reading it in a fantasy sense," Adkison said. — Jesse Brown LAW ENFORCEMENT Stephen Lamm, supervisor with the ID Fraud Unit of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles looks through photos in the facial recognition system Sept. 24 in Raleigh, N.C. The state's facial recognition project is the first to use the software to find fictitious nationwide Software screens for fugitives BY MIKE BAKER Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — In its search for fugitives, the FBI has begun using facial-recognition technology on millions of motorists, comparing driver's license photos with pictures of convicts in a high-tech analysis of chin widths and nose sizes.

American Civil Liberties Union. Earlier this year, investigators learned that a double-homicide suspect named Rodolfo Corrales had moved to North Carolina. The FBI took a 1991 booking photo from California and compared it with 30 million photos stored by the motor vehicle agency in Raleigh. In seconds, the search returned dozens of drivers who resembled Corrales, and an FBI analyst reviewed a gallery of images before zeroing in on a man who called himself Jose Solis. him in High Point, southwest of Greensboro, where they believe he had built a new life under the assumed name. Corrales is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles later this month. "Everybody's participating essentially, in a virtual lineup by getting a driver's license." "Running facial recognition is Facial-recognition software is not entirely new, but the North Carolina project is the first major step for the FBI as it considers expanding use facial recognition is not very labor-intensive at all," analyst Michael Garcia said.

HEALTH ATLANTA — Nearly two decades after he arrived in this country, Ugandan Derreck Kayongo is still bowled over by one subtle display of American wealth: the endless array of soaps available in stores. Associated Press BY DIONNE WALKER In his African homeland, the cost of soap is out of reach for many, often with tragic consequences. In 2004, the World Health Organization found roughly 15 percent of deaths among Ugandan children under age 5 resulted from diarrheal diseases, many of which could be prevented through hand sanitation. Now America's bountiful soap bars have prompted Kayongo to launch the Global Soap Project, an effort to help his country's poorest — one used bar of hotel soap at a time. down, sterilize them and reshape the soap for shipment to refugees in Uganda to help curb disease. An Atlanta-based anti-poverty advocate, Kayongo has collected several tons of lightly used soap bars under a plan to melt them For Uganda's destitute, soap is a luxury. "Most people find it very hard to spend money on something like soap which could actually help them prevent diseases." Kayongo said. "Our hope is to put some work into altering some of our master's programs," Ginsberg said. "A lot of people will stay five years anyway, and get a full master's degree." A bar of soap can run 500 Ugandan shillings — about 10 American cents — on a continent where many refugees have a dollar to live on daily. not requiring classes that count towards a master's degree that they might not want later. EDUCATION (CONTINUED FROM 1A) — Edited by Jacob Muselmann "I love to teach, so I still would have done five years," Marton said. Ginsberg said the change was also part of an effort to answer excited about the change. She said this would make it possible to earn her teacher certification at the same time as the psychology and elementary education degrees she was also seeking. the state legislature's call for universities to become more efficient. Students who graduate in the five-year program now graduate with 15 credit hours toward a master's degree, which would be eliminated in a four-year certification program. He said the school would benefit by making post-graduate education more appealing to students by GRANT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "They help us with things we don't have here, and we help impact," Wu said. Caitlin Rochford, St. Louis graduate student, is working under Wu, and said that besides the funding and visibility from the award, collaboration really helped the research. She has been working for two years with chemists from both Kansas State and Wichita State and said she appreciated the benefits of reaching beyond one's own department or university. Another team led by Dietrich Earnhart, professor of economics, will focus more on how farmers in Kansas adapt to climate change and economic incentives in producing crops for biofuels. them with things they don't have there," Rochford said. "It's good to have different perspectives. People in different fields tend to look at different problems in different ways."

The recently announced renovations and additions to the building will make the center an even better destination for dance, music and lectures. Supporting the arts in a downrodden economy should be lauded "My goal for the Lied Center has been to touch more people and bring new audiences to the programs and performances," said Christina Hissen. Hixson, a 40-year associate of Ernst F. Lied, was left as the sole trustee of the Lied Foundation Trust.

"One of the most important things we will be adding is display and exhibition areas that will help tell the story of Mr. Lied, who In addition to telling the story of one of our University's esteemed KANSAN'S OPINION The larger lobby will allow for better access to the seating area, concession stand and restrooms. It will also cut down on the congestion after performances. alumni, the expanded lobby and education pavilion are worthy additions to the Lied Center. The new education pavilion will allow the Lied Center to continue its nationally recognized arts education program, which extends to children as young as three years old. Students in the School of the Arts will be able to learn from traveling performers in special master classes. The education pavilion will also allow audiences a chance to meet performers after their productions. "I think that new classrooms will help a lot, because usually they just try to do their questioning in the lobby where it gets really hectic after a show." Allison Craddick, Leawood senior, said. Craddick is a part of the University Dance Company, a group that performs at the center every semester.

The Kansas Board of Regents will discuss approving this plan at their meetings Wednesday and Thursday. They should commend this expansion as it benefits the University.

If not, you probably think of Bob Dole, former U.S. senator from Kansas as well as Republican vice-presidential and presidential nominee. He also served eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives and received two purple hearts for wounds sustained during World War II, which left his right arm completely paralyzed. Even now, Dole is active in politics at the age of 86. He has a health care plan with fellow former Sens. Howard Baker and Tom Daschle, released by the Bipartisan Policy Center. This plan furthers a legacy of finding effective solutions to our nation's greatest problems, promoting common ground and not shying away from nuance. WHAT'S THE MATTER IN KANSAS TYLER HOLMES Representatives in and of this state, however, seem to be falling flat in the face of the 'Dole standard.' In the state legislature, the past and potentially ongoing debate about energy — the Republican support of coal fired plants in Holcomb, and the Democratic abstinence in favor of wind energy — has crippled legislative productivity during the past couple of legislative sessions. to build one coal plant as well as something Democrats can support in return. Although the creation of new energy jobs could help offset the revenue shortfalls and the rising unemployment rate, Gov. Parkinson's plan falls short of solving either problem. Because of this, it remains obvious that a real solution has yet to be found. Perhaps that's finally with, with Gov. Mark Parkinson's agreement Despite Gov. Parkinson's proposal, there is little common ground to be found between the two parties. I could give a Jim Mora-style rant (just search "Jim Mora playoffs" on YouTube) about the use of hateful language towards other politicians, rather than the policies they support. Personal attacks destroy potential relationships between legislators that can be the only bonds between sides trying to reach a compromise. Gov. Parkinson's insistence on higher admissions standards is another — and necessary — matter altogether. of Regents that the state should pursue a goal of making the University of Kansas a top-20 school based on rankings, when research shows that undergraduate education available in institutions across the country are, for all intensive purposes, equal (and the rankings a complete sham). Gov. Parkinson suggested in August to the Kansas Board So let us renew the Dole standard. After all, our generation has been told countless times of how it will bring a resurgence of participation to civil activity given our involvement and interest in politics. Don't limit your involvement. In Kansas, you only have to be 18 to run for political office. Offering an alternative, even to good representation, can make it even better. In the words of Mohandas K. Gandhi, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." And don't forget to eat your bananas. Holmes is an Overland Park sophomore in political science. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Follow columnist Tyler Homes at twitter.com/ tylerholmes. In Chet Compton's column "Liberalism versus conservatism" in Friday's paper, there was such an avalanche of wrongness that it's difficult to know where to begin. Liberalism explained The crux of his argument was that God gives rights to us, and that God is narrowly defined as the Christian one. Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, ratified under the Washington administration, states that: "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." Jefferson made his own version of the New Testament that removed all references to the deity of Jesus. President George Washington refused to comment at all on his religion. Many of the founders of this country were famously not Christians. President Thomas Despite what Compton wrote in his column, the left does not see power as "residing in an omnipotent central government." The power of the government is derived from the people, because in a democracy the government is the people. We choose our government every two or four Though he quotes the Declaration of Independence, Compton fails to quote the Constitution, which begins with, "We the people of the United States." years in what we call "elections." The right is just a little upset because in our last two elections it's become clear that the things that they stand for are not what the majority of Americans want. In a more modern sense, liberals agree with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's notion that "necessitous men are not free men," while conservatives stand opposed to that sort of freedom. For a more accurate explanation of what liberals believe, I strongly suggest reading Roosevelt's speech at the 1936 Democratic Convention and President John F. Kennedy's speech "A Liberal Definition." - Matt Baier is a sophomore from Topeka. The ghost of winter fashions past... ug! JAMES FARMER Ugg boots' popularity baffles fashion experts W when I was a freshman in high school, all I wanted for Christmas wanted for Christmas was a pair of chestnut-colored, classic short Uggs. As it was the gift-giving season, and Uggs were at their prime in American fashion, it was nearly impossible for my parents to find a pair, let alone in my size and the specific style and color I had been dreaming about for months. A week before Christmas, my dad found himself in the parking lot of the Oak Park Mall overpaying someone he had found on eBay for my dream boots. In the fashion world, Uggs have been out since 2006. But, as in any industry, the fate of a product in the fashion market is ultimately decided by the consumers. Erin Meyer, Lenexa senior, owns two pairs of Uggs. She said they were the perfect shoes for cold weather. Despite their efforts, fashion experts cannot win their war on Uggs, let alone explain why they've remained so popular. So I decided to turn to the real experts; girls on campus. "They're so comfortable and so warm," Meyer said. "They're tough, so I can wear them in all kinds of weather." This may explain why Uggs continue to appear in our cold-weather wardrobes. But how have they managed, despite their furling, to sneak out of the closet in the summertime as well? "This August I saw a bunch of girls wearing Uggs in 103-degree weather." Ashley Sosebee, Overland Park junior, said. "Not acceptable. You can't wear them with a miniskirt." Meyer said it was acceptable to wear Uggs when it was 50 degrees or below out. Uggs should never be worn when it's hot out. Not only is it tacky and out of season, but there is no way it's comfortable. One of my biggest problems with Uggs is that they're too THE HEMLINE ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO warm. They keep you nice and toasty on your way to class in the winter, but once you get inside they make you sweat. Also, Uggs are overpriced for their quality. Despite being designed for cold months, the colors run if they get wet in rain or snow. And even after following the cleaning instructions, my Uggs faded when I washed them. Eventually, the fur on the soles that kept my feet so warm got matted and came out, and the back seam on one of my boots ripped. This shouldn't happen to any $140 pair of shoes. "I don't own Uggs because they're too expensive," Anna Bennett, Great Bend senior, said. "I love boots, I just think it's ridiculous to pay $150, for a pair." If you like Uggs, but don't want to waste your money, buy a pair of cheap, fake Uggs: Fugs. Your feet will stay warm and you won't have to worry about damaging expensive boots as you trek across campus. This winter, I'm investing in a pair of weather-proof riding boots as a fashion forward, alternative to Uggs. They're a classic staple piece, and because I know they'll never go out of style, I'm willing to pay more for a durable pair that will get me through many winters. t Esposito is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and film.

The items will be up for auction Sunday. Auction will include a clump of Presley's hair BY DON BABWIN Associated Press CHICAGO — The King may be dead, but that doesn't mean it's too late to run your fingers through his hair. Elvis Presley's hair, at least a clump of hair that Presley may have lost to an Army barber when he went into the service back in 1958, is going on the auction block this Sunday at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago. The hair is part of a collection of more than 200 items that belonged to or are associated with Presley. There are clothes he three to screaming fans — who judging by the yellow sweat stains, never washed them — and Christmas cards he sent. And there are lots of records, some he kept in his own juke box, and other sorts of memorabilia ranging from Elvis dolls to Elvius wrist watches to Elvius Pez dispensers. ...a few years back some of Presley's hair that had been collected by his barber was put up for bid and sold for $115,000. But it is clearly the hair that has generated the most buzz. All the items belonged to Gary Pepper. No Hound Dog. Pepper was not only a huge Presley fan and president of a Presley fan club, but a close friend, as many of the photographs of the two together suggest. Like a lot of the items in Pepper's collection, the hair was a gift from Presley to Pepper, who in turn sent a strand or two to appreciative Presley fans from time to time but didn't come close to exhausting his supply. Pepper, who had cerebral palsy, died in 1980, three years after Presley, and left his collection to his nurse, and that is who is putting the items up for auction, said Mary Williams, of the auction house. She said Pepper died without telling anyone exactly where the hair came from or when it was cut, but she said it appears that it was clipped during Presley's stint in the army or around that time. Williams did acknowledge that there has never been a DNA test done on the hair. But, she said, the auction house did take it to "somewhat of a hair authenticator" who compared it to his own sample of Presley's hair and concluded it was the real deal. "I'm very careful with the hair I authenticate," said John Reznikoff. A Connecticut collector of such mundane items as stamps and documents, Reznikoff also has samples of hair that once sat atop some of the most famous heads in history, from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe. He even says he has some of Michael "I have a high resolution scan and I took mine (Presley hair sample) out and the coarseness and color of it, they all match," he said. "I did say short of a DNA test proving otherwise." Jackson's hair that was famously singed during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984. Williams said she doesn't know what to expect, saying that the best estimate is that the hair is worth $8,000-$12,000. But, she quickly added, a few years back some of Presley's hair that had been collected by his barber was put up for bid and sold for $115,000.

Sept. 23. More than 50 students were on a waiting list for the class. In cash-strapped California and around the country, deep budget cuts are trapping students in a kind of enrollment curtailment, where they're in school but can't get seats in the courses they need for a degree. Budget cuts could lead to more time spent in college Struggle to enroll expensive for students BY JUSTIN POPE AND TERENCE CHEA Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — It isn't just tuition increases that are driving up the cost of college. Around the country, deep budget cuts are forcing colleges to lay off instructors and eliminate some classes, making it harder for students to get into the courses they need to earn their degree. The likely result: more time in college. And while that may sound agreeable to nostalgic alumni, to students like Michael Redoglia, time is money. Early this semester at San Francisco State University, Redogilus unsuccessfully crashed 26 different classes, hoping to find space that would move him closer to a hospitality management degree. Outside some classrooms, wait-listed students took turns standing closest to the door so they could hear the lecture and not fall too far behind should they get in. Redoglia, a fourth year student, is now enrolled in just two courses. He could lose financial aid, and his plan to finish his degree in four-and-a-half years is up in smoke. Policymakers right up to President Barack Obama have been calling on public colleges to move students through more efficiently, and some have been doing so. But experts say any recent progress is threatened by unprecedented state budget cuts that have trimmed course offerings. Some students struggle for places in the core entry-level classes such as composition and math because the part-time instructors who typically teach those courses are the first to be laid off in tough times. Other students are shut out of crowded core courses in their majors by upperclassmen. Some upperclassmen face an even tougher road. The upper-level classes they need "They will not graduate on time, I hope they will graduate at all," said David Baggins, who as chairman of political science at Cal State University-East Bay has been bombarded with requests for spots in already packed classes. "They will not graduate on time.I hope they will graduate at all." DAVID BAGGINS Chairman of political science at Cal State University-East Bay have been cut entirely because they aren't popular enough. In the 450,000-student California State system — the nation's largest public university system — the average is longer, in part because of large numbers of low-income, part-time and transfer students. A 2007 study through within five. A study of 2009 graduates is not yet complete. of students who entered 12 years earlier found they took an average of 5.7 years. Officials say that number was probably falling slightly before the current cuts hit. Around the country, the belt-tightening has made the usual begging and pleading with professors to make more space especially urgent. "Some of them are more open — they understand you're trying to get into classes you need," said Haley Sink, a sophomore at Virginia Tech from Kernersville, N.C., who failed to get into several classes this year and hopes to avoid a fifth year of out-of-state tuition. "Others say, 'I absolutely cannot handle more students.'" Money isn't necessarily the only problem, some experts argue. Patrick Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, said universities focus too much on prestigious but unessential graduate programs at the expense of the undergraduate basics. Others want professors pushed harder to teach essential courses instead of their own boutique interests — and students to accept more unpopular early-morning slots. HEALTH Syria's president bans public smoking BY ALBERT AJI Associated Press DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrias president on Monday issued a decree banning smoking in public places, joining an anti-smoking trend already under way in other Arab countries. 20 The ban also includes a rare restriction in the Arab world: limiting places where Syrians can indulge in the hubbly bubbly water pipes known locally as argileh. ASSOCIATED PRESS President Bashar Assad's decree, which will go into effect in six months, bans smoking in restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theaters, schools, official functions and on public transport. Offenders will be fined 2,000 Syrian pounds — about $45. Patrons smoke water pipes at a café in downtown Damascus, Syria Monday. Syrian President Bashar Assad issued a decree late Sunday banning the smoking, selling and providing of tobacco products at certain public utilities. But the ban was often flouted and not strictly enforced. The younger Assad recently issued a law that banned the sale of tobacco to those under the age of 18. father, Hafez, that banned smoking in government institutions, hospitals and at the airport. Syria had taken steps before to try to restrict smoking, including a 1996 decree issued by Assad's late Monday's decree is a much more sweeping measure reflecting Syria's desire to join other Arab countries struggling to control smoking with bans and anti-smoking campaigns. Such laws are not easily enforced in the tobacco-loving Arab world, where people light up in offices, universities, taxis and even hospitals and where smoking has long been a social imperative and a rite of passage for young men. Packs can cost as little as 50 cents. The decree issued by Assad, a British-trained eye doctor, also bans the favorite Mideast pastime — smoking water pipes — except in well-ventilated and designated areas. Also outlawed are tobacco advertising and the sale and import of sweets and toys modeled after tobacco products. Health Minister Rida Saeed said authorities were working on campaigns that explain to the public "the health hazards of smoking and the environmental, economic and social vices of smoking." Emirates — and most recently Iraq — have imposed similar restrictions on smoking, but the bans vary in scope and enforcement. Gumby's is rolling back the clock on the BIG ass!

The Boston Bruins are surprising for another reason. BRUINS WARRIOR HANNAN 22 ASSOCIATED PRESS David Jones scored a shorthanded goal to lift the Avalanche over the Bruins 4-3 on Monday, sending the top team in the Eastern Conference last season to its third loss in five games. Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, top, is unable to stop a shot into the net by Colorado Avalanche's Scott Hannan. The Avalanche defeated the Bruins 4-3 Monday. Marek Svatos had a tiebreaking, power-play goal midway into the second period and Milan Hejduk and Scott Hannan also scored for the Avalanche (3-1-1). "It sounds like you're surprised." Colorado goalie Craig Anderson said when asked about his team's record. "One game at a time. That's been what we pride ourselves in. They're a great team. They weren't the best team in the East last year for no reason. They found a way to win the last game. The puck didn't have the same lightning tonight." For the second straight game, Boston needed a rally, but this one fell short. The Bruins cut it to 4-3 when Michael Ryder scored on a backhander out of a scramble with 13:36 left, but there was no comeback like Saturday night when they scored three goals in the closing 8:01 before beating the Islanders in a shootout. Boston coach Claude Julien was perplexed. "I can't get in their heads," he said a few times during his postgame press conference. "There's a time where you're working hard and getting chances, looking like the old team, and then you shoot yourselves in the foot." The Bruins were the Eastern Conference's top team last year during the regular season before losing to Carolina in the second round of the playoffs. "You can't just go out there and win games just by playing all right," defenseman Mark Stuart said. "It's a competitive league." Anderson made 29 saves for Colorado. Mark Recchi and Blake Wheeler also scored for Boston (2-3), which closed its season-opening homestand. After squandering an early 2-0 lead, Colorado regained the lead on Swatos' goal at 13:32 of the second period when banged home a rebound from the edge of the crease. About 3 minutes later, Jones collected a loose puck at center ice, skated in alone and beat goalie Tuukka Rask with a wrister to the glove side to make it 4-2. "It's a great win on the road against one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference," Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said. The Bruins got a power play in the final 5 minutes but were unable to get a shot on goal. The Avalanche took a lead in the first period on goals by Hejduk and Hannan 37 seconds apart in the opening 652. "To come back from the 2-0 deficit, we were feeling very good about ourselves." Wheeler said. "We're doing that too many times." Hejduk scored on the power-play off the rebound of Kyle Quincey's shot, giving Colorado power-play scores in each of its five games this season. It's the Avalanche's longest stretch to open a season since they had power-play scores in nine straight to begin 1997-98. Hannan, a defenseman, raced in for a rebound and slipped a shot into a wide-open net after Rask shifted to his left to block Jones' shot from the circle. Rask, making his second consecutive start, stopped 18 shots. The Bruins tied it 2-2 on scores by Recchi and Wheeler midway into the second period. MLB Rockies manager changes lineup again for Game 4 DENVER — Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy is juggling his lineup again, flip-flopping Garrett Atkins and Yorvit Torrealba for Game 4 of the playoffs against the Philadelphia Phillies. Tracy moved Atkins up to fifth following his 2-for-4, two-RBI performance in the sixth spot Sunday night. He bumped down Torrealba, who went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the No. 5 spot in Colorado's 6-5 loss in Game 3. The Phillies lead 2-1 in the best-of-five series. Tracy also inserted Seth Smith into left field and moved Carlos Gonzalez to right. All-Star right fielder Brad Hawpe was benched for the second straight game. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Tigers quarterback to start despite a sprained ankle COLUMBIA, Mo. — Despite suffering a sprained right ankle in Thursday's loss to Nebraska, Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert should start in Saturday's matchup at Oklahoma State. Head coach Gary Pinkel said Monday that Gabbert and cornerback Carl Gettis had ankle sprains, but that they were "probable" Reserve linebacker Will Ebner, one of the Tigers biggest hitters, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus Monday, and could be ready to return the lineup as soon as Oct. 24.

The class is one credit hour and meets two times a week, bowling one game each class period. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 10A) has developed a widely publicized tendency of scrambling and keeping plays alive long enough to find an open receiver. But Saturday produced a noticeably different script for big plays — something even Reesing had to adjust to. Offensive linemen Jeremiah Hatch, Brad Thorson, Jeff Spikes, Sal Capra and Tanner Hawkinson and freshman running back Toben Opurum kept Reesing's path clear of defenders, allowing him to remain in the pocket. "There were times when that clock goes off in your head like. 'I've got to get out of here. I've been in here too long,' Reesing said. "But I looked in front of me and those guys were just stoning them up front. If you can do that with our receivers, someone is going to get open eventually." With the popularity of the high-powered spread in college football, offensive records and career-bests fall. But rarely do so many topple so quickly. Reesing's two favorite targets, senior Kerry Meier and junior Dezmon Briscoe, continued to set the mark for wide receivers at Kansas. Follow Jaysor Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks.

The Jayhawks were defeated by the Buffaloes on Sunday, 1-0, as Colorado remained in first place in the Big 12. Shannon McCabe played just 31 minutes in Kansas' soccer game Friday, but for the senior forward, it was a refreshing end to a frustrating five weeks of watching from the sideline. BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com It was the first time McCabe had seen action on the field since Aug. 28, when she aggravated a leg injury she sustained in an exhibition match in Brazil in May 2008. Weeks of rehab finally paid off when she was able to play against Texas Tech. "I was, like, thinking about it during the week, and I was kind of nervous," McCabe said. "But once I got warmed up and into the game, I was more excited." After the injury in August, McCabe faced the possibility of not playing the rest of the year. Because they didn't know exactly how long the injury would take to heal, McCabe and her coaches even discussed redshirting for the year. But she wanted to complete her senior year with her classmates, so she focused on playing again this season. "A lot of stuff was going through my mind, so I finally decided to play," she said. "I'm happy with my decision. It feels good." "It was really hard not to travel, because you kind of feel like For five weeks, instead of traveling and playing with the team she has started for since her freshman year, McCabe stayed home and focused on recovering. Senior defender Lauren Jackson said that the team tried to keep McCabe and the team's other injured players updated on road happenings with text messages, but that it wasn't easy for the injured forward.

Real Clear Sports TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When was Mazeroski elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame? A: 2001. Real Clear Sports Wright might shine this season MORNING BREW During his stint in Lawrence, Julian Wright was a hard man to overlook. His play — sometimes brilliant, sometimes cringe-worthy — made him the center of attention on the court. He had the kind of ability necessary to take over games and leave crowds dazed — if not always in a good way. The contrast between Wright's years at Kansas and his first two NBA seasons could not be more stark. Wright has languished on the New Orleans bench, and, if rumors are to be believed, spent ample time in Coach Byron Scott's proverbial doghouse. What's more, Wright spent his first two NBA seasons in relative anonymity; a feat which hardly seems possible for a player with his ability. BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com But things appear to be chang ing for Wright and changing for the better. If, as some have speculated, Wright's frustrating inconsistencies stem from attempting to do too much, then playing alongside game manager extraordinaire Chris Paul ought to be an adequate solution to that problem. At least, that's what Hornets coach Bryon Scott is hoping. Wright enters the preseason as the Hornets' starting small forward instead of playing limited minutes off the bench. It would be difficult to overstate what a golden opportunity this is for Wright. He's joining a starting five that includes Chris Paul and Wright won't be the only one benefitting, though. He replaces Peja Stojakovic in the starting five and, although Wright isn't the deep threat Peja is, he offers better play in just about every other facet of the game. Wright and Hornets center Emeka Okafor present a rangy and athletic front line capable of nabbing long rebounds, swatting shots and intercepting passes. Wright is also a versatile on-ball defender, tall enough to guard power forwards but still quick enough to defend and given his athleticism, it's probably safe to assume that he will do so often - Paul will find him. David West, both NBA all-stars. West is the Hornets' post scorer who demands double teams and will free up Wright on the court. Paul is the best point guard in the NBA. If Wright can find space THE MORNING BREW shooting guards. And, of course, Wright is capable of putting dazzling finishes on Chris Paul's trademark alley-oop passes. Indeed, Wright brings the potential for great things to the Hornets' staring five. But Wright has always had potential in spades. Whether he can harness it this season may well decide if his days languishing in relative obscurity are finished. Edited by Nick Gerik FOOTBALL Two unlikely players prove themselves worthy BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com SHEFFIELD MAKING CASE FOR STARTING JOE Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was more than impressed with backup quarterback Steven Sheffield's seven-touchdown performance in his team's blowout victory against Kansas State.

Senior quarterback Taylor Potts took two hard hits on sacks in Texas Tech's game against New Mexico Oct 3. Leach said Potts would be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Nebraska.

As for Sheffield's nickname, "Sticks," coined by teammates who notice Sheffield's 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame, Leach said. wouldn't have thought of it, but "it makes sense." SUH A DOMINATING PRESENCE Nebraska defensive tackle Ndomukong Suh was dominant Thursday night against Missouri. In turn, some analysts have thrown his name into the Heisman race. Suh picked up six tackles, a sack and a huge fourth-quarter interception in the 27-12 Nebraska victory. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said he had seen a lot of good defensive linemen, including former Tiger Ziggy Hood, selected 32nd overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. "It's a task to be able to handle him," Pinkel said. "Give him credit where credit is due. He's a great football player." In the conference's weekly media teleconference Monday, a couple of Big 12 coaches talked about Suh's ability to change a game. But after watching Suh up close Thursday, Pinkel said he didn't think there was a better defensive lineman in college football this year. Pinkel said he thought his team's pass protection wasn't necessarily the issue — Suh is just that dominant. Brown said Monday that Suh lateral quickness and power made him a force to be reckoned with. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, whose team takes on Nebraska this Saturday, also spoke highly of Suh's abilities, but said his game plan wouldn't necessarily change to counter Suh's presence. "A good player can do a lot of things. They move him all over," Leach said. "We'll just keep an eye on him and know where he's at. We're not nearly as concerned about him as we are about the Nebraska Cornhuskers overall." — Edited by Jacob Muselmann NFL Coach: 'Undefeated' not the same as 'perfect' Associated Press BY EDDIE PELLS BROOKLYN Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels salutes the crowd after the Broncos defeated the New England Patriots 20-17 in overtime in an NFL football game Sunday in Denver. The team's highest victory has given them a 5-0 record. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Unlike the coach he learned from, Josh McDaniels of the Broncos doesn't shy from showing a little emotion. His special teams assistant, Mike Priefer, surely knows about it after being on the wrong side of a protracted rant from the rookie coach. Denver fans found out about it, too, when McDaniels ran to the corner of the stadium and started pumping his fists and hugging it out with players to celebrate Denver's latest surprise — a 20-17 overtime win over New England. "We work too hard not to enjoy the wins." McDaniels said Monday. "We work too hard to try to minimize any success we might have on the weekend." Success is all McDaniels has enjoyed so far this season, in leading the Broncos to the NFL's most surprising start. ASSOCIATED PRESS The latest win, over his more stoic mentor, Bill Belichick, gave the Broncos a 5-0 record and McDaniels responded by giving the Broncos Monday off for the first time this season. They'll be back in the film room come Wednesday, and McDaniels insisted he'll prove to the Broncos that undefeated is not the same as perfect. He'll break down all the mistakes from their latest win. "We can coach better and play better and they'll see that on film. I don't have to create that," McDaniels said. "No coach has to create it either. They'll see it on the film, and that's just the truth." The brunt of the criticism will come over Denver's special teams effort. A missed field goal. A decision to run a kickoff out from 6 yards deep in the end zone. Two crucial penalties — offsides and running into the punter — both on fourth-and-short to keep a New England drive alive. Kyle Orton's tying, fourth-quarter, 98-yard touchdown drive wouldn't have been that long if not for those two penalties. After Darrell Reid ran into the punter, the TV cameras panned "Sometimes on game day, it's better to listen to what you're saying, than how you're saying it." McDaniels said. "And that would be my message to the staff." laying on Priefer. Easy to laugh at the episode now, because the Broncos won. Errors and tantrums aside, Denver is in rarified air. Only three other teams have 5-0 records — then held — on McDaniels and the extended shut-down he was Broncos have started this well, they've ended up in the Super Bowl. and the other four times the Nearly a third of the way into the season, it is too late to attribute the Broncos success to them sneaking up on people, or a slate of games against bad opponents. Yes, there were wins over Cleveland and Oakland. But also over New England and Dallas. Even the season-opening Cincinnati win is looking a lot better: The Bengals (4-1) haven't lost since. The Broncos have given up a grand total of 43 points, four touchdowns fewer than any team that's played five games. They are ranked second in vards allowed. The offense, meanwhile, is getting more efficient. Orton threw for 330 yards and two scores against New England. He improved to 26-12 as an NFL starter.

Game 3 was played in the mid-20s with a first-pitch reading of 35 degrees, tied for the coldest postseason start ever.

After Kansas' game against Iowa State — and after the offence carry the Jayhawks past the Cyclones — senior defensive back Justin Thornton reverberated back to a more subtle, yet equally revealing, slogan-worthy theme from Saturday. "Thank goodness for Todd Reesing, the offense and our o-line," Thornton said. "They kept us in the game." They certainly did. Senior Jake Sharp didn't play for the second consecutive week because of an undisclosed injury. Even without its top running back, Kansas' offense executed its most effective attack this season. The Jayhawks piled up a total of 551 offensive yards, moved with relative ease against the Cyclones and led Kansas to victory in its first conference game. "Our offense was fantastic tonight," coach Mark Mangino said. Perhaps no unit performed as well as the offensive line — a group that was the offense's biggest uncertainty entering the season. If Saturday serves as any indication, that label is no longer accurate It was, in many ways, a basic game of pitch and catch for much of the afternoon. On nearly all of his passing attempts, Reesing had time to drop back, settle into the pocket and simply wait for receivers to separate themselves from coverage down the field. "The offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage all night," Mangino said. "That's one of the finest jobs of pass protection I think I've been associated with in a single game." Added Reesing, who threw for 442 yards behind the offensive line: "That was the best protection I've had in three years here as a quarterback." Throughout his career, Reesing SEE OFFENSE ON PAGE 8A Junior wide reciever Dezmon Briscoe pulls in an over the shoulder catch for a touchdown Saturday.

Road games at Colorado rarely pretty BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com K Kansas must be on upset alert heading into Colorado this weekend. Colorado this weekend after its performance against Iowa State. Yes, Todd Reesing posted incredible numbers again last weekend. Throwing for 442 yards is hardly a statistic one can frown upon. But watching the game told a different story. On Kansas' second-to-last drive of Saturday's seesaw battle, two of Reesing's passes hit the dirt on a drive that could have sealed the game against Iowa State. Instead, as Iowa State threw one last pass to the end zone, thousands of freezing faces in the crowd were stuck in mirror images of Macaulay Culkin from "Home Alone." One of Reesing's errant passes came on third down, with only two yards to gain. Reesing threw a pass to wide receiver Jonathan Wilson that hit the ground before reaching Wilson's hands. That type of throw can be the difference between victory or defeat in the Big 12, especially when traveling to Colorado, a place that feeds off of opponents' little mistakes. 4 Evidence of this came last week when Colorado led at halftime against the No. 2 Texas Longhorns IN Texas. Colorado, helped by some lucky plays, gained confidence in the first half and looked as if it might be able to pull off the impossible. But Texas, playing in front of a home crowd, came back in the second half. There's something in the air, or lack of air, at Colorado's Folsom Field that causes trouble for opposing teams. The high altitude at the stadium, the surrounding jagged mountains and the close proximity of the student section to the field can intimidate visiting teams. Colorado has been able to pull off big upsets in years past, even when its record is less than respectable. Colorado will be starting a new quarterback against Kansas on Saturday, Tyler Hansen, who will replace Cody Hawkins, will pose a double threat to the Kansas defense with his ability to scramble as well as pass. Corralling Hansen and throwing him off rhythm will be the key to keeping Colorado off the scoreboard and out of Kansas' way to the Big 12 North title. In 2007 the Buffaloes beat the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners 27-24 in a season when they only won six out of 13 games. Last year, Colorado beat No. 21 West Virginia at home 17-14 but finished the year with a record of 5-7. The Buffaloes have a knack for somehow pulling off victories in their home environment, and the Jayhawks must do everything they can to prevent that. Colorado's offense, which has struggled all year, has the opportunity to gain confidence against a Kansas defense that showed some uninspired play against Iowa State. If Kansas can stop Colorado early, take the fans out of the game and force the Buffaloes to rely on their passing attack, the Jayhawks will have a good chance to win. - Edited by Nick Gerik t Follow Nicolas Roesler at twitter com/nroesler8 es . | 9A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Have a safe Fall Break Students are cautioned to keep themselves alert for trouble CRIME L TA R Students are cautioned to keep themselves alert for trouble.

Five-year-old accounting error in Vermont reported After being questioned by the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, Montpelier officials apologized and revealed the extent of the blunder in an extraordinary fullpage newspaper ad.

The city realized the mistake in 2006. It has since gotten back about $114,000 and earlier this year won a judgment of more than $393,000, which includes interest.

The first Beer Fest was held at the Crossroads in 2006 and drew fewer than 100 people. But in 2007, because of more extensive advertising, Beer Fest attendance increased to 2,000 people. This year, more than 4,000 are expected to attend. Associated Press ODD NEWS Man complains about absence of hitching post "This is the first large-scale festival that has been founded in Kansas City in about 15 years," Bellinger said. "It's really the closest beer fest that you can go to that has this amount of beer." The Beer Fest is a fundraiser for the Kansas City Free Health Clinic and the AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City. Joe Bellinger, special event director at the Kansas City Free Health Clinic, said that after its founding in 1971, the clinic sponsored a small beer festival called "The Beer Bust" to raise money. This is the first time, he said, a festival of this size has been held in the Kansas City area. Bryan said he thought the best thing about the Beer Fest was that it offered the opportunity for craft beer drinkers to try many different brews in one place. "When I go to a festival, I never sit and repeatedly try a beer. You know, I'll come by and have a taste," he said.

INTERNATIONAL Swiss officials approve arrest of film director GENEVA — Swiss parliamentarians say the government acted correctly in ordering the arrest of Roman Polanski on a U.S. warrant for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. The parliament's Foreign Policy Commission said Tuesday that "Switzerland as a country of law could not have acted differently." It added that "no special treatment for prominent personalities can be considered."

EDITORIAL BOARD Stay safe during fall break On the brink of fall break, students staying in Lawrence should not despair about the cold weather or lack of travel destination, and instead should get involved with the local community. There are many events taking place over the Yesterday, Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, sent all students an e-mail that detailed safety precautions that should especially be taken over school breaks. As described in the e-mail and in the news, the Lawrence Police Department is still investigating an active serial rapist who has been known to attack during school breaks. Staying safe should be a priority, while still having fun. Following the safety guidelines outlined in the e-mail will help students enjoy their full break while keeping a healthy awareness about their surroundings. Here are some activities to participate in if staying in Lawrence: 25TH ANNUAL LATE NIGHT IN THE PHQG Watch the men's and women's basketball teams get pumped up for the coming season with skis and scrimmages. According to the Athletic s Department, Late Night in the Phog will be featured KANSAN'S OPINION once again by ESPNU's "Going Mad for Midnight Madness." Bring non-perishable food items for the department to donate to local food pantries. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the newly renovated Allen Fieldhouse, and the event runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. This 24-acre pumpkin patch is family-owned and great for a free weekend activity. With farm animals, a hay bale maze and 35 varieties of pumpkins how could you go wrong? The pumpkin patch is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; go to www.schakespumpkinpatch.com for driving directions. SCHAAKE'S PUMPKIN PATCH STATE RADIO The band will be at Restore, 701 Connecticut, 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday. Restore sells salvageable materials from torn-down houses to help fund Habitat for Humanity.

MAPLE LEAF FESTIVAL Travel a quick 15 minutes south of Lawrence to Baldwin City to enjoy the annual Maple Leaf Festival. The parade begins at 11 a.m. Saturday. Other events include a 5K run, country music, train rides, carnival and more. See a schedule of events online at www.mapleleafonline.com/events If nothing else, enjoy a walk around campus as the leaves are changing. But make sure to stay aware of your safety. It is especially important while students are away on break that those staying make safety their first priority. If you are staying in, lock the door. If you are going out, have a friend to walk with. Whatever you do, have a great fall break! — Kara Walker for The Kansan Editorial Board SIGH. 1 EXAM AND 2 MORE CLASSES, AND I'LL HAVE SURVIVED TO FALL BREAK! WELL, HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE AND SURVIVE FALL BREAK TOO Nagambalik NICHOLAS SAMBALUK HUMAN RIGHTS Death to the death penalty The abolition of capital punishment is not a matter of being soft on crime. It's about having a humane and just system that works. Troy Davis, charged with murdering an off-duty police officer, is on death row in Georgia. Of the nine eyewitnesses who testified against Davis, seven have withdrawn their evidence as nonfactual and blamed police interrogation tactics for the false testimonies. Many death penalty abolition and equal rights groups have claimed racism as a factor in Davis' trial. They worry that if this continues to affect the case during Davis' evidentiary hearing, an innocent man will be put to death. It's hard for me to discuss the moral inconsistencies of the death penalty without bringing up my faith. As a Christian, I believe it is wrong to punish someone with death at the hand of a human being, because God should provide judgment, not humans. The U.S. Supreme Court ordered on Aug. 17 that Davis be allowed an evidentiary hearing, according to CNN. This gives Davis another opportunity to demonstrate his innocence and escape death row. Is this cruel and unusual form of punishment really worth the price? The costs are both moral and monetary. HUMAN TO HUMAN KELLY COSBY Catholicism dictates that the eye-for-an-eye mantra in the eye is actually meant to restrict government, not to allow broader action by the government, according to the Catholics Against Capital Punishment Web site. I am not Catholic, but I do believe that it's not within Jesus' philosophy to advocate a death sentence. There is also the obvious possibility of executing an innocent person. The case of Cameron Todd Willingham in Corsicana, Texas, provides an example of a death by shoddy evidence. Religious arguments aside, there are plenty of other moral arguments against capital punishment. A much more constructive function of criminal justice is to pursue rehabilitation for criminals. Willingham was convicted of arson; officials said he burned his house with his three children inside. Willingham protested his innocence until his death, and although evidence surfaced proving the investigation had been faulty, Gov. Rick Perry deemed the execution appropriate, according to the Huffington Post. Willingham was executed Feb. 17, 2004, as an innocent man. "These death sentences are cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual," Justice Potter Stewart said in the 1972 Supreme Court case Gregg v. Georgia. The disturbing fact that executing an innocent person can and has really happened should be reason enough to ban the death penalty. One must also recognize the abuse of basic human rights. Though Justice Stewart was speaking of death sentences he believed were handed out on the basis of race, I would argue that all death sentences are cruel and unusual since the determining factors are not always consistent or reliable. It is psychologically and physically cruel as well. Horror stories of lethal injections gone wrong are enough to make one's skin crawl. The financial cost of the death penalty is perhaps more persuasive to individuals not moved by the moral argument. According to a performance audit report by the Kansas Legislature, cases involving the death penalty cost an average of 70 percent more than cases that don't. This should be reason enough for some Republican lawmakers to consider the abolition of capital punishment. Cosby is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and political science. CULTURE Accents embraced as cultural identity I have felt terrible in my Spanish conversation class during the past few weeks. It was my first time realizing how tough it is when learning a language to overcome a particular cultural barrier: the accent. While still sharpening my English, I started learning Spanish my freshman year. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I was fond of it and was excited to be trilingual, speaking the three most spoken languages in the world. Even so, I still remember how I felt on my first day of Spanish class: frustrated and dumb. After the instructor explained the syllabus in English, all words and sentences I heard were bizarre and meaningless. With no exposure to Spanish before, I was totally lost. The only thing I could do was cram the material at home and read the words out loud while guessing the correct pronunciations. After the first month things started making sense to me, and I could respond properly in class. Spanish became my favorite class each semester because my grade always reflected how much effort I had put into it. The conversation class I'm taking now has been discouraging me. Almost everyone in class is good at speaking, except for me. I'm always nervous to say something with my poor Asian accent. It sounds weird and I'm always wondering how my classmates feel. Because of this, I look like an inactive student in class. "Your accent is totally fine," my instructor told me. "An accent signifies your culture and it shouldn't be changed because it's your INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE JOSIE HO unique cultural feature." "Speak with accent is cute," a friend commented on my Cantonese accent in Mandarin. He was right. As long as people can understand us, an accent doesn't matter. I think the most valuable thing to learn from studying a new language is the culture, not only the language. I met some Americans who spoke Chinese fairly well. I like to talk to them because I can see the effort they have put into learning Chinese and their passion for Asian culture. It's always miraculous to meet someone from a completely different cultural background who speaks your language. The world is really connected. Some friends of mine desire to speak and act like ABCs (American Born Chinese) because they think speaking with a mixture of Chinese and English is cool (and ABCs easily grab girls' attention). Every culture should be respected and appreciated. People within the culture should embrace it rather than discriminate oneself from it. A cultural identity is a gift we should keep for a lifelong, no matter what. Ho is a Macau, China, junior in journalism. FROM ILLINOIS Northwestern U. Daily Northwestern BY CALLEY TRAUTWEIN Learning to cope with weight gain Some girls are naturally skinny. Some girls like to take spin classes, which I will never understand. Some girls "don't like the taste of junk food." I am not naturally skinny. I hate biking indoors. And I believe that on the seventh day, God created Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and it was Good. That's scary. That's not okay. That's got to change. I feel like as a girl, it's my job to look a certain way. Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels that way. Four out of five American women say they are dissatisfied with the way they look, according to the fitness Web site inchaweigh.com. Sadly, an estimated 10 percent of female college students suffer from a clinical or borderline eating disorder, according to the Anne Collins weight loss program. Let's face it together: There are some very beautiful people out there who know they're hot. But most of us, at one point in our lives, have felt insecure about our bodies. We do not see our own brilliance and beauty. I am only 18, and in so many ways I'm still a kid. But I'm smart enough and old enough now to look at each new day as loaded with possibility, laughter and the chance of free food. I'm not sure who I am yet, or what size jeans I'll be over the next few years, but you know what? It's a wonderful, intoxicating not to care. As the wise Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich once said, "You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine." I know there is time ahead of me to change myself if I should ever choose. But on those days when I don't mind I'm a smidge overweight, I challenge you to look past my chubby cheeks and listen to what I'm saying. I promise you I'm friendly to talk to, and I'm always up for pizza.

In an effort to prevent crime in the community, Kansas Attorney General Steve Six, Lawrence Police Department and University officials are encouraging residents to be vigilant, not only in their efforts to keep themselves safe, but also in their efforts to look out for others. "We're encouraging Kansans to take extra safety precautions and report any suspicious activity to locallawenforcementimmediately." Six said in a news release. Police say students have good reason to be alert during times off from class. A serial rapist in the Lawrence and Manhattan areas has targeted a majority of his victims during breaks at the University, and it appears criminals of all types thrive when fewer people are around to report crimes. Six said. In an e-mail to all students Tuesday, Vice Provost for Student Success Marlesa Roney reminded students of aware of safety issues this fall break. "I am writing to be sure you are aware that the Lawrence Police Department is investigating an active rapist whose previous attacks have occurred around University break periods, such as Fall Break." Roney wrote. TIPS TO STAY SAFE THIS FALL BREAK In the e-mail, Roney provides a list of personal safety tips and reminds students about the safety resources available to them. Law enforcement officials are encouraging citizens to make extra efforts to be aware of their surroundings during fall break. Residents are urged to call 911 to report any suspicious behavior or crimes in progress. For the Lawrence Police Department non-emergency line, call 785-832-7509. Here are some tips that can help you stay safe during breaks: Before you leave for an extended period of time: Both Roney and Six said it was important for citizens to report any suspicious behavior to police. "For those who do not travel during the break, it is important they pay close attention to the activities surrounding their homes." All residences should have quality locks and peepholes installed. Lock all doors, windows, or other entrances to your residence before you leave for extended periods of time. ■ Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you expect to return. Have your mail and newspapers stopped, or have a friend or neighbor pick them up. This can prevent prospective criminals from knowing you are likely gone for break. Record all the serial numbers of your valuable items and keep this list in a safe place. This can be helpful to law enforcement if you become a victim of theft. Never leave keys hidden under mats, above the door or near the door. This is especially important if you are leaving town for break. ■ Leave lights or a radio on a timer to give the appearance that someone is home.

Follow Brandon Sayers at twitter. com/bsayers. Ashley Anstaett, spokeswoman for Six, said the office was unaware of any reported rapes or significant crimes during Kansas State University's fall break, which took place earlier this month. Law enforcement officials said they thought 13 raps in the Lawrence and Manhattan area, dating back to 2000, were related. In the most recent Lawrence attack, a 19-year-old KU student said she was raped on Dec. 1, 2008, by a man who entered her home with a handgun. All of the attacks were committed off campus late at night by an armed man with a covered face. Four of the five Lawrence attacks T took place while students were on academic break. The attacker is described as a white man with slim build, approximately 6 feet tall and between 25 and 40 years old. "We also believe he is doing some sort of surveillance before the attacks so that is why we are asking everyone to report any suspicious behavior they see." Anstaett said. - Edited by Betsy Cutcliff Deaths from unsafe abortions remain problem around globe HEALTH सूरात गंबामेताल सेया धही उपलब्ध है। स्वले सभय छिनाल ची सेया दिशा 3 में सभाय सेया टेपले हैं दिशा आक्रेष्ठा देख शুकुगर थिन फ़ोट 5.9000/ BY DAVID CRARY Associated Press People sit under a sign pointing toward an abortion clinic in a government-run hospital on Tuesday in Kandatu, Nepal. Abortion is legal in Nepal and is performed in government and private clinics throughout the country. The sign reads "Safe Abortion Service available." NEW YORK — Increased contraceptive use has led to fewer abortions worldwide, but deaths from unsafe abortion remain a severe problem, killing 70,000 women a year, a research institute reported Tuesday in a major global survey. More than half the deaths — about 38,000 — are in sub-Saharan Africa, which was singled out as the region with by far the lowest rates of contraceptive use and the highest rates of unintended pregnancies. The report, three years in the making, was compiled by the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights and is a leading source of data on abortion-related trends. The institute's president, Sharon Camp, said she was heartened by the overall trends since Guttmacher conducted a similar survey in 1999, yet expressed concern about the gap revealed in the new report. "In almost all developed countries, abortion is safe and legal," she said. "But in much of the developing world, abortion remains highly restricted, and unsafe abortion is common and continues to damage women's health and threaten their survival." The report calls for further easing of developing nations' abortion laws, a move criticized by Deirdre McQuade, a policy director with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities. "We need to be much more creative in assisting women with supportive services so they don't need to resort to the unnatural act of abortion." she said. Guttmacher estimated previously that the number of abortions worldwide fell from 45.5 million in 1995 to 41.6 million in 2003 — the latest year for which global figures were available. "Legal restrictions do not stop abortion from happening. They just make the procedure dangerous," Camp said. "Too many women are maimed or killed each year because they lack legal abortion access." The report estimated that 19.7 million of the 41.6 million abortions in 2003 were unsafe — either self-induced, performed by unskilled practitioners or carried out in unhygienic surroundings. The report makes three major recommendations: - Expand access to modern contraceptives and improve family planning services. Expand access to legal abortion and ensure that safe, legal abortion services are available to women in need. Improve the coverage and quality of post-abortion care, which would reduce maternal death and complications from unsafe abortion. in the spotlight! you could find yourself in the spot wtf (we tweet faster!)

Thirteen new Kansas swimming and diving team members will compete against other Big 12 teams for the first time during the Big 12 Fridays. KANSAN FILE PHOTO ataylor@kansan.com Thirteen new Kansas swimmers and divers will make their official collegiate debut this Friday when the Kansas swimming and diving team travels to Columbia, Mo., to compete in the Big 12 Relays. After several months of offseason training, the new faces will finally get a chance to test their mettle against competition other than their teammates. The five other schools at the meet will bring in a high level of competition as both Texas and Texas A&M have Olympians on their teams. Both schools also finished inside the top 10 in the 2008-09 season, while Kansas finished just outside the top 25. "I'm excited to swim in my first real college meet and see how we compare to other schools," freshman Brooke Brull said. "We're going to get in there and compete against some of the best swimmers in the country," senior swimmer and team captain Carrah Haley said. The freshmen will soon find out what competing at the college level takes. "It will be a great experience for all of our newcomers," coach Clark Campbell said. "They can set their hearts and minds toward what it takes to compete in this conference." "We're going to try and out-skill people as far as starts and turns go," Campbell said. With such a high level of competition in attendance,Campbell hopes the newcomers can help the team outperform the other schools' talent by doing the little things better. Regardless of how the team performs, Campbell and his staff hope to use the meet as a reference point for their training for the rest of the season. It will let the team know how it needs to improve in order to be a better, more competitive team when the conference championships roll around in February. The Kansas freshmen will not be the only new faces at the Big 12 Relays as Campbell and the rest of the team will have their first opportunity to see the almost 50 new swimmers and divers from the rest of the Big 12. "It's a good way to see some of the other swimmers in the conference," Campbell said. t . Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter. com/andrew_ taylor11. The meet, first conceived in the early '90s, will consist entirely of relays. Campbell said he hopes this will help get his team excited. "Swimmers love swimming relays." Campbell said. —Edited by Samantha Foster BOULDER (CONTINUED FROM 10A) still see playing time. "Each quarterback is different and has their own different strengths," Kansas' co-defensive coordinator Bill Miller said. "I think basically that they are going to run their offense. I don't see them coming out with a super different type of attack to play Kansas." One aspect of Saturday's game is certain: Kansas will be playing at, literally, an elevated level. Folsom Field sits at the third-highest elevation in Division I. behind Wyoming and Air Force. Still, players said the impact of playing at that height is rather minimal. "You can tell a little bit of a difference but it didn't affect me too much last time," senior defensive back Justin Thornton said. "Coaches do a great job getting our guys in shape, so I don't think that's going to be an issue for us. But at times you do notice a little bit of a difference." — Edited by Samantha Foster forward Shannon McCabe said capitalizing on every goal-scoring chance will be key for the team. SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 10A) "If we have anything to focus on, it'll be taking advantage of the opportunities we have in front of goal," she said. Although its play over the weekend was encouraging, it doesn't get the team around the fact that it still has a hole to climb out of if it wants to play in the postseason. McCabe said this weekend would be "do-or-die" for the Jayhawks. But heading back out on the road won't make it any easier for the team. Baylor, seventh in the Big 12, and Oklahoma, eighth, are in similar situations as Kansas. All three schools are vying to be among the top eight teams that advance to the Big 12 Tournament. "Games have never been easy against Oklahoma or Baylor," McCabe said. "They're going to come out wanting to win, so we're going to need to come out with that same mentality." Francis isn't worried about missing out on postseason yet. He said a 13-victory season should earn Kansas a spot in the NCAA tournament, which means the team would have to win four out of its last five games. From what he saw this weekend, he believes they'll be able to turn it around. "We can't be that unlucky if we play that well again," he said. — Edited by Tim Burgess BIG 12 FOOTBALL Colorado coach's son may get to play again ASSOCIATED PRESS BOULDER.Colo. — University of Colorado coach Dan Hawkins is hinting his son, quarterback Cody Hawkins, might still get some playing time after being benched in favor of sophomore Tyler Hansen. Hansen burned his redshirt at midseason for the second straight year when he replaced a mistakeprone Cody Hawkins during the Buffaloes' 38-14 loss to Texas on Saturday. Afterward, offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau insisted Hansen was the permanent starter. Last year, Hansen and Hawkins split quarterback duties after Hansen gave up his redshirt year. And Dan Hawkins indicated Tuesday that might be the case again. He suggested his son was "still going to have a role and I think there's a very good chance that you'll see both of them." Meeting with reporters after his weekly news conference, Dan Hawkins lent little clarity to the situation, saying, "We're going with Tyler, but you never know. You don't know." The Buffaloes (1-4, 0-1 Big 12) host No. 17 Kansas (5-0, 1-0) Saturday night. Pressed, the coach said, "Again, if we're trying to get this down to a legal document, maybe I should say he could play. He might play. I don't know. I don't know." He also said his son might never see the field, "We want Tyler to get in and Tyler to roll. If Tyler gets out there and rolls and we get some continuity, Cody may never play again."

Kansas has faced two ranked teams in a row, plus ranked Texas A&M team before that, and now must face an undefeated No. 2 Texas tonight. "Even though playing in the Big 12 can be tough, it's a good opportunity to play many ranked teams," junior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser said. THE OFFICIAL BOOKSTORES OF KU Texas also has two possible player of the year candidates with outside hitter Destinee Hooker and setter Ashley Engle, coach Ray Bechard said. Hooker is averaging 4.68 kills a set and 2.41 digs a set and has been the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week three out of seven weeks this season. Kansas (9-7, 2-5) hasn't won a set in two weeks, while Texas (12-0, 7-0) has only lost five sets in 12 games. Texas is returning six starters from a team that lost in the semifinals of last year's NCAA volleyball tournament and is one of the favorites to win the tournament this year. Kansas needs to try and keep Texas off their game by serving aggressively, managing the ball well and increasing Kansas' offensive options, Bechard said. Bechard said Kansas also needs to take advantage of the opportunities it gets and to prevent Texas from getting momentum. Follow Zach Getz twitter.com/zgetz "You can't let a point from an impressive play lead to 3 or 4 or 5 more points," bechard said. Kansas needs to control aspects of the game that it can affect, like eliminating errors to compete with a top team like Texas sophomore outside hitter Lauer Lagan said. "It's just little stuff that we can put together as a team, and if we minimize those, then we have a shot," Hagan said. t Kansas will get a break and will face a slumping Kansas State this Saturday. Kansas State started the season ranked, but is currently on a seven game losing streak. "There are teams that won't see ranked team until the NCAA tournament," Kaiser said. "We have the advantage.

It's the kind of trauma that decays with the days, but currently aches with excruciating pains. It burns from the lasting image freshly branded on our minds of stud Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon sabotaging the team's season in one inning. Before Sunday, Papelbon had never surrendered a run in his entire postseason career. That's 26 flawless innings of high pressure baseball. Known for his cool as a winter morning demeanor, when it was playoff time you couldn't find a bead of sweat on Papelbon's forehead with a magnifying glass. His microscopic 0.615 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inping Pitched) was no mirage of his omnipotence. Add high 90s heat with a ghastly glare for any hitter who foolishly dared to challenge him and you've got one thing — dominance. So when Papelbon relinquished a Red Sox lead in the top of the ninth, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks, everyone was simply shocked. Perhaps worst of all, the loss emphasized a change of times. It was against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, a team that had been Boston's BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com PETER SMITH first-round punching bag for years. "Things happen quick," muttered the pale, stone faced closer in a postgame interview. The anomaly struck an entire nation like a vicious hurricane showing no mercy. No longer are the days of Papelbon playing air guitar with a broom, dancing with glee as the Dropkick Murphys play its anthem "Shipping Out to Boston" all on the same World Series parade duck boat. Instead, Red Sox fans are reminded of haunting memories from a terminated 86- $\textcircled{2}$year drought of a World Title title. Right next to the branding of ex-Yankee Aaron Boone's homer in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, adjacent to the stamp of Bucky "bleeping" Dent's shot over the Green Monster in 1978's one-game playoff, and parallel to the imprint of the ball gently rolling through the weak knees of Bill Buckner in Papelbon's loss isn't going anywhere. game 6 of the 1986 World Series is where Papelbon's blown save sits in our minds. So yeah, we are used to misery in dramatic fashion. But it never seems to soften the blow. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS To complement the sorrow of Red Sox nation, Music from the Vaults boldly travels down south to the crossroads to visit the king of the delta blues. Legend has it that Robert Johnson went to a crossroads in Mississippi, fell down on his knees and sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to play the greatest blues music man has ever heard. Folklore aside, Johnson did just that, founding a soullful soundscape of streaming abstract imagery and ear-stabbing strums. His slide guitar can be rapid and puncturing or measured' and dreamy. His singing is passionate and smooth, stemming from his care for the art of blues and his downright despair. Perhaps because blues enthusiasts were teased by such a small selection to choose from, Johnson's work from November 1936 to June 1937 is still widely considered as the truest blues to date. It is also THE MORNING BREW the most obvious reason for the blues revived in the 1960s, resurrected by Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones among others. If you are interested in discovering the blues, there is simply no better place to start than "The King of the Delta Blues Vol. 1 and 2," also referred to as "The Complete Recordings" Submerge yourself in a bluesy world of deceit, betrayal and gloom. Then marvel at Johnson's blues, the truest our ears will ever hear. t - Edited by Tim Burgess Follow Max Rothman at twitter.com/ maxrothman.

At the meet there will be 79 teams in the men's race and 80 in the women's. Teams from all over the country will be participating, including Stanford, the No.1 men's team in the nation, and Washington, the No.1 women's team.

But the fundraiser, which is collecting bras for the annual "Bras Across the Kaw" and is selling hair extensions and T-shirts, has only raised a small fraction of its $10,000 goal. "It's been a lot slower this year," Willis said. "The economy has played a big role in that since Last year, Salon Hawk's fundraising made up roughly a fifth of the total money Lawrence Memorial Hospital raised last year for breast cancer awareness month. money is tight and people are so strapped for cash." Willis also said the fundraiser didn't have as many bras to hang across the Kansas River as part of the "Bras across the Kaw" fundraiser as it had in the past two years. The bras, which were hung October 15, will later be donated to Lawrence women's shelters. However, Willis said she didn't think the economy was the only factor slowing fundraising this year. She said that there hadn't been as much publicity this year and that not all of the publicity had been positive. "If you turn this into a negative thing, it slows down the good we do," Willis said, referring to the letter to the editor published in The University Daily Kansan earlier this month.

LAWRENCE Homeless face scarcity of space in shelters BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com Raleigh Worthington was 50 years old when he first stayed at the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter. He remembers because it was age that put him there. Worthington needed work and had solicited jobs throughout Lawrence with little luck. The situation deteriorated into homelessness when his only job offer Diane Eider, a case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter, draws numbers for the nightly lottery that determines who will be allowed to sleep in the shelter overnight. The shelter can house 76 people and has already reached a high of 66 guests this fall. After the Salvation Army shelter closed last spring, Lawrence's homeless will have 44 fewer sleeping spaces to share this winter when the temperature falls below freezing, said Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter.

For the first time in his six years at the shelters, Worthington worries that he and other homeless Lawrence residents might not have a place to stay when winter arrives. FIRE REGULATIONS FOR SAFE SHELTERS Lawrence Fire Marshal Rich Bar said that the city required homeless shelters to meet the same regulations of any other residence facility. It must have a door and at least one other exit with 5.7 squarefoot opening that opens directly outside, he said. He also said the building must have at least 25 square feet per person in the sleeping rooms and sprinkler per 225 square feet in each room.

Any such assistance would be the first from the conservative administration of President Lee Myung-bak, who has linked aid to the North's progress in getting rid of its nuclear programs. For a decade, South Korea was one of the biggest donors to the North, shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of food across the militarized border every year. But aid stopped after Lee took office last year with a pledge to get tough on the North. That prompted a dip in relations, and tensions deepened over the regime's nuclear and missile tests earlier this year. Ties have since improved. North Korea asked for humanitarian assistance at talks with the South on Friday — its first such request during Lee's government. 2.16-year-old bids to be youngest to sail the world pink yacht out of Sydney Harbor on Sunday to start her bid to become the youngest person to sail solo and unassisted around the world.

Cargo ship delivers supplies to space station MOSCOW — A cargo ship has delivered food, fuel, oxygen and other supplies to the International Space Station. Russia's space agency says the unmanned Progress M-03M docked with the orbital station Sunday after a three-day trip up from Earth. The space station is orbiting about 225 miles above Earth. Its current crew includes two Russians, two Americans, a Canadian and a Belgian. Canadian Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte returned to Earth a week ago after a stint as the seventh paying space tourist aboard the station. Care packages for members of the multinational six-person crew were one part of the delivery vehicle's 2.65 ton cargo. NATIONAL 4. Three participants die during Detroit marathon NATIONAL DETROIT — A half-marathoner and two other runners died during the Detroit marathon on Sunday, organizers said. Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. between the 11- and 12-mile markers, said Rich Harshbarger, vice president of consumer marketing for the Detroit Media Partnership. It was unclear whether Brown and Langdon were participating in the 13.1-mile half marathon or the full race. Harshbarger told the Free Press that there were at least six medical stations on the race course and that emergency personnel were on the scene within seconds. Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta, Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where Langdon went down, and 26-year-old Jon Fenlon of Waterford collapsed at about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37, Harshbarger said. 5. Murder case in Arizona widens to three killed FLAGTAFF, Ariz. — An Arizona homicide investigation now includes three deaths after a woman died more than a week after participating in a sweat lodge ceremony that hospitalized nearly two dozen people. Liz Neuman of Minnesota died Saturday at a Flagstaff hospital, Yavapai County sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said. The 49-year-old suffered multiple organ damage during the Oct.8 ceremony at a resort near Sedona, a resort town 115 miles north of Phoenix that draws many in the New Age spiritual movement. 6.

The Berlin Wall fell, David Hasselhoff sang and Central Europe transformed. t This weekend, the Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (CREES) played host to a conference called "Central Europe 1989: Lessons and Legacies" to discuss those political and social transformations. Experts from universities across North America and Europe covered topics from economic development to gender issues in Central Europe in the past 20 years. Central Europe includes former East Germany, Poland, Follow Kansan writer Zach White at twitter.com/zachandthenews. Hungary, former Czechoslovakia, Romania and Slovenia. According to Edith Clowes, director of CREES, the purpose of the conference was to explore changes across the entire region. "What we are trying to do is look at the region as a whole," Clowes said. "The problems they share, the advantages they share, and how they can talk among themselves as a region to move forward." Jan Kubik,political science professor at Rutgers University, was a keynote speaker. Kubik, who is originally from Poland, discussed developments in the fields in sociology and anthropology in Central Europe. Kubik said bringing together academics with different specializations helped participants to get a comprehensive look at the issues. "I cannot believe what big scholars have come to our University," Hruska said. "I've learned a lot "The major strength of the conference is that it is so diverse," Kubik said. "After 20 years are a lot of things to analyze and to refresh our memories." Kubik also said she thought the conference highlighted the importance of Central European studies. Laszlo Kulcsar, associate professor of sociology at Kansas State One new scholar is Eva Hruska, Slavic department graduate student. Hruska said she had anticipated the line-up at the conference. University, agreed. He said that the conference could inspire a new generation of scholars. "It really allows people who are fresh out of graduate school, starting their professional career, and still researching these things to keep these ideas alive," Kulcsar said. "It's not like it's been 20 years and the problems are solved. It's been 20 years and some have been solved and some new issues emerged. It's a continuously developing field." about certain aspects of the region I am studying that I didn't even know I should be looking into." Hruska translated the play "RUR: Rossum's Universal Robots" by Czech playwright Karel Capek. The play is the origin of the word robot. Members of the department of theatre staged a reading of the translation at the conference. The play will also be read at CREES' Velvet Revolution Party on Nov. 7. The party celebrates the non-violent revolution that overturned the communist government in former Czechoslovakia — another transformative event in Central Europe. Anyone can register to attend.

NATIONAL -Zach White States demand unclaimed war bonds Montana among several states to sue federal government for failure to return money ASSOCIATED PRESS HELENA, Mont. — The federal government is facing a lawsuit over billions in unclaimed bonds that date back to the patriotic fundraising efforts of World War II, leading to a showdown between states who say they should be given the money and a Treasury Department that claims ownership. World War II sparked an unprecedented bond buying campaign, spurred on by one of the largest advertising campaigns ever seen—a drive wrapped in dutiful pleas from celebrities, politicians and cartoon characters alike. Most American families bought at least one bond at the time and many never cashed them in — thanks in part to a 40-year maturity in the bonds. And those same "Series E" war bonds continued to be sold by the federal government until 1980. More than $16 billion worth of the bonds are unclaimed, either lost or forgotten after the death of the original purchasers. The state attorneys general suing the Treasury Department charge that the federal government made no effort to find those people. They want the money given to the states, who have a legal system in place for finding the owners of unclaimed Goods "It's better for the millions of Americans who are the rightful owners to have it returned to the states, because the states will make a real effort to find them," said David Bishop, a partner at Kirby McHernery who is representing the states in the suit. "And if after searching for them they can't find them, the money can go to work in the communities where the bonds were purchased." The Treasury Department coun- the Public Debt. "These are obligations of the federal government, not the states. There is no pot of gold out there just waiting for someone to grab it." "I think it is money that should be with Montanans. It's an important action to bring just to protect the state's interests. STEVE BULLOCK Mont. attorney general The Treasury also points out that most of the unclaimed bonds are far more recent than the origi- ters that it indeed tries to find owners of the unclaimed bonds, and says it has a Web site where people can simply type in their Social Security number to see if they have one. And it points out that the money is not just laying around somewhere. "One of the misunderstandings out there is that there is a lot of cash sitting somewhere in a drawer. Money from savings bonds was used to run the daily operating expenses of the government," said Joyce Harris, with the Bureau of nal World War II era bonds. And overall, 99 percent of people claim their bonds. And those who don't cash them often choose to do so for tax reasons, or perhaps out of a sense of patriotism, Harris said. It's not like the states will get the money free of obligation, about $55 million in the case of Montana. The states would be obligated to pay bondholders no matter if it takes them decades — or longer — to show up. In the meantime, though, states usually earmark the interest earned on such unclaimed money for schools or other purposes. the bonds" she said. "A majority, when you contact them, are aware of the bonds." Steve Bullock, the attorney general for Montana, said states — not the federal government — have legally been granted the right to deal with unclaimed money. "First and foremost I think it is the right thing to do. I think it is money that should be with Montanans," Bullock said. "It's an important action to bring just to protect the state's interest." The complaint was first filed in Federal court in New Jersey in 2004 with New Jersey and North Carolina as the plaintiffs. Montana, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Missouri later joined the case. All states would benefit if the lawsuit is successful. This war bond poster, painted by Robert Sloan for the U.S. government, encourages Americans to buy savings bonds for the war effort.

Erin Pursel, Leawood master's student at the Edwards Campus, said she too felt concern while volunteering at the LCS for her summer marketing class. She said the guests would often sleep out front when the shelter filled to capacity, and she worried what would happen to those guests when the winter arrived. "The people that can't fit into the shelter are sleeping under this canopy outside," Pursel said. "I really don't know what they're going to do." Legally, the LCS can't accept more than its current 76-person limit because of fire regulations, Lawrence Fire Marshal Rich Barr said. Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, said the LCS most needed donations of the following items for this winter: Raising Awareness on Homelessness Loring Henderson, director Henderson said he expected more guests would soon line up at the shelter at night as the weather turned consistently cold and camping became intolerable. Barr said one of the biggest problems of housing the homeless at the LCS shelter or in a church basement, as in the First Christian Church earlier this year, was that "If they absolutely can't get in, we try to give them blankets so they can curl up some place out of the wind and survive," Henderson said. clothing blankets cereal Simran Sethi, KU associate professor of journalism, said students in her summer graduate "Social and Environmental Initiatives" class created a series with both articles and video for Lawrence.com, exposing spacial and other needs at the shelter. Go to Lawrence.com and search "gimmeshelter" to find the series. those buildings were not designed to house large amounts of people. "When you change the use to a residence, then it has to be protected," Barr said. "It would have to be sprinkled, it would have to have a fire-alarm space, it would have to have adequate exits." Henderson said the LCS was currently raising funds in hopes of constructing a new shelter with a 125-person capacity where Don's Steakhouse once stood at 2176 E. 23rd St. A SOLUTION IN SIGHT Mayor Robert Chestnut said city commissioners would vote in December on whether to approve the new location. He said the city had met little resistance to moving "We've started to raise the money, but we don't have enough at all." Henderson said. the LCS, but neighbors of the proposed site are opposing its relocation near their homes. "There's a lot of concern in the adjacent neighborhood, making sure it won't have an adverse impact," Chestnut said. Homeless men settle in for the night in the Lawrence Community Shelter. The shelter expanded occupancy from 31 to 76, but still may not be able to meet the need for space. Lawrence's Salvation Army Homeless Shelter closed last spring, leaving the city 44 fewer spaces for overnight shelter. A patient is lying in a bed in a hospital room. A doctor is standing behind the bed, looking at the patient. There are other patients lying on the floor. Henderson said even if the LCS received approval from the city commission to move to the new location in December, the homeless residents in Lawrence would likely have to endure another winter under the current shelter situation. KANSAN FILE PHOTO "If we were going to have enough for next winter, we'd have to start it now or within the next couple of months," Henderson said. For those who will have to survive the wintry weather with a possible scarcity of shelter, even one winter without additional space seems dangerously long, Worthington said. For Worthington, the horror of what can happen without shelter in wintertime has a face, and he won't ever forget the day he discovered the cold had claimed the life of someone he knew personally. The victim's body, he said, was found frozen, lying in the train park between Tennessee and Kentucky streets. "I don't think I'd want to enforce such a rule on a cold night," Worthington said, reflecting on the tough job ahead of the LCS staff this winter. "I got to look at people and say, 'I'm sorry, you can't stay here tonight.' And they're looking at me like, 'Where am I going to stay? What am I going to do?'

"But sometimes that doesn't necessarily help." Amber Adams, Willis' roommate who has been helping with the fundraiser, said that the majority of donated bras usually came from sororities and that she expected to see more come in as the fundraiser continued to push forward. The bras will continue to be collected and donated, even though "Bras Across the Kaw" has already hung a portion of them. Throughout October, Willis also hosts pink parties to promote the fundraiser. At a party pink, Willis goes to people's houses or even to student housing to give pink hair extensions to residents. "This type of thing really hits home with a lot of people," Adams said. "It should pick up a lot with the pink parties." Despite the lack of funds making their way to Salon Hawk's fundraiser, Heather Ackerly, foundation and corporate relations manager of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said at this point they were still on track to reach their goal amount of $50,000. Willis said the sororites had also decided to pitch in to help this year, selling T-shirts as a part of the Salon Hawk fundraiser. "I think these last weeks could be great for her," Acklerly said of Willis. "We're still in the early stages of the fundraiser." "There has been a huge community effort this year," Ackerly said.

Associated Press WEATHER Hurricane weakens over open seas Forecasters say the storm could still hit resorts near the Baja Peninsula in California ASSOCIATED PRESS BY MARK STEVENSON The track of the Category 5 hurricane threatened to disrupt a major sport fishing tournament scheduled to start Wednesday in Los Cabos, where hundreds of fishermen — mainly Americans — were gathering. MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Rick, the strongest eastern North Pacific storm in more than a decade, weakened slightly over open seas Sunday as forecasters said it could veer into resorts at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula by midweek. Los Cabos's civil defense director, Francisco Cota, said authorities were already weighing plans to open storm shelters and start police patrols urging residents of low-lying neighborhoods to evacuate. "We foresee opening a lot of shelters," Cota said, while noting the weather at the resort was still warm and mostly sunny Sunday. It was projected to move over cooler waters and weaken to between 109 and 86 mph before hitting land, but "Rick is expected to remain a dangerous hurricane for the next couple of days," the center said. The eye was centered about 450 miles south of Cabo San Lucas as of 5 p.m. EDT Sunday. The hurricane's winds were still a howling 160 mph Sunday, down slightly from a peak of 180 mph (285 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. The first inhabited land in Rick's path is Socorro Island, about 300 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, where about 103 personnel from the Mexican Navy and other government agencies are based. The mainland base that commands the detachment said Navy personnel on the island reported some wind and rain and lowered communications antennas to prevent them from being blown away when the hurricane passes near the island Monday. Isla Socorro is a nature reserve that hosts the Navy detachment as well as scuba-diving expeditions. Rick was moving toward the northwest at about 14 mph and was expected to begin turning toward the northwest over the coming 48 hours before curving toward the northeast, the center said. This image of Hurricane Rick was taken at 11 p.m. EDT Saturday. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Rick turned into an "extremely dangerous" Category 5 storm on Saturday with sustained winds reaching 180 mph. ASSOCIATED PRESS YOU SUBMITTED YOUR SLOGANS.

The attack — which also left dozens wounded — was the most high-profile strike against security forces in an outlaw region of armed tribal groups, drug smugglers and Sunni rebels known as Jundallah, or Soldiers of God. President Mahmoud Ahmadading promised sharp retaliation. But a sweeping offensive by authorities is unlikely.

CRIME Imprisoned priest claims innocence ASSOCIATED PRESS Robinson was sentenced to a mandatory term of 15 years to life in prison. COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Roman Catholic priest imprisoned for killing a nun 29 years ago told a newspaper that he was innocent, but a prosecutor and the victim's nephew wondered why he was only making the claim now. Lee Pahl, the nun's nephew, said he believed at the trial that Robinson was the killer and continues to believe it. He's also bothered that Robinson, who retired as a priest in 2004, has not been defrocked. The Rev. Gerald Robinson, now 71, was convicted in 2006 for killing Sister Margaret Ann Pahl in 1980 by strangling her and stabbing her 31 times in a Toledo hospital chapel. Church historians have said it's the only documented case of a Catholic priest killing a nun. "I didn't do this." Robinson told The Columbus Dispatch for Sunday editions. "I have no idea why anyone would do it". "As a convicted murderer, he shouldn't be allowed to keep his title as a priest," Pahl said. "For him now to come out and say he didn't do it — I would say to him. You missed your chance to say that when it counted," said Dean Mandros. "He didn't take the stand because he knew he couldn't answer the questions." The lead prosecutor said Robinson should have made his claim in court. Lawyers for the Ohio Innocence Project are continuing tests to determine whether DNA under Pahl's fingernails matches someone else. The DNA doesn't match Robinson, and it also didn't match the Rev. Jerome Swiatecki, the late priest whom Robinson's attorneys believed should have been An 8-inch letter opener that was a gift to Robinson became the central piece of evidence that prosecutors used to tie him to the crime. Robinson was charged with murder in 2004 after questioning by cold-case detectives. INTERNATIONAL Opposition party cries foul Some accuse President Karzai of delaying U.N. report on election ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL — Afghanistan's political opposition accused President Hamid Karzai on Sunday of delaying release of a U.N.-backed investigation into fraud in the August presidential balloting and pressuring election officials to declare him the winner. International demands mounted for Karzai to agree to a runoff if the fraud probe shows that he failed to win a majority of votes in the Aug. 20 ballot. A top U.S. official warned that decision on whether to send thousands more American troops to battle Talibanled insurgents must wait until the Afghan election crisis is resolved and a credible government is installed in Kabul. Preliminary results showed Karzai won the election with more than 54 The complaints panel finished its investigation last week. But the announcement of its findings has been repeatedly delayed because the separate, Karzai-influenced Independent Election Commission has questioned the panel's methodology and statistical formulas. percent of the vote. However, if the Electoral Complaints Commission voids enough Karzai votes, the incumbent would be forced into a runoff against his chief challenger, Abdullah Abdullah. Abdullah's deputy campaign manager, Saleh Mohammad Registani, accused Karai of pressuring his supporters on the election commission to delay release of the fraud probe because they will show him below the 50 percent threshold to avoid a second round of voting. Karzai campaign spokesman Waheed Omar said the president had done nothing to influence the election commission. "Karzai is the main problem in this situation," Registani told The Associated Press. He said Karzai was insisting that the commission announce that he had won a clear majority — even after the fraud probe. "There is no way we can influence them, and even if we can, we are not going to do it." Omar said. "For the moment we are worried ... because it seems that not everybody is ready to accept the results." BERNARD KOUCHNER French foreign minister According to Afghan law, the complaints commission is the final arbiter on election challenges. However, members of the election commission have insisted that they have the authority to question or challenge methods used by the panel in investigating alleged fraud. Karzai has insisted that results of the fraud investigation be announced before he will agree to a runoff, and his aides have expressed confidence that the president's total will end up over 50 percent. That has raised concern in Kabul that Karzai might refuse to accept findings pointing to the need for a runoff, a move that would plunge this country into a political crisis at a time when Taliban strength is growing. "For the moment we are worried ... because it seems that not everybody is ready to accept the results," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told reporters Sunday in Kabul. "They must accept the results." Various formulas have been floated in Kabul to resolve the impasse, including a proposal that Abdullah would concede defeat and forego a runoff in return for a power-sharing agreement with Karzai. Kouchner said Karzai and Abdullah should declare they would be willing to accept the findings of the complaints panel even before they are released because "we need a consensus" However, the proposals all depend on Karzai accepting the fraud panel's findings even if they show him failing to win re-election outright. and both sides "have to sacrifice." "At the end of the day, a government is necessary," Kouchner said. That point was underscored Sunday by President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, and Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. ВАДАКМИНАН KHOST Emanuel said the main issue facing Obama was not how many U.S. troops were fighting in Afghanistan "but whether, in fact, there's an Afghan partner." Afghan Election Commission members work among the suspicious ballot boxes during the recounting process at the main election office in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Oct. 7. Election workers have begun recounting ballots from the disputed Aug. 20 presidential election, as Afghan President Hamid Karzai's top challenger Abdullah Abdulah has already expressed his deepest concerns about the alleged massive frauds of the country's presidential election. ASSOCIATED PRESS In Sunday talk show interviews, Emanuel repeatedly expressed doubts about the Kabul government as a reliable partner for the U.S. "There isn't a security force, an army, the type of services that are important for the Afghans to become true partners." Emanuel said. "It would be reckless to make a decision on U.S. troop level if, in fact, you haven't done a thorough analysis of whether, in fact, there's an Afghan partner ready to fill that space that the U.S. troops would create and become a true partner in governing." Kerry and Emanuel were on Kerry, who visited Afghanistan over the weekend, said Obama should wait until the election process had become clearer before he decides whether to accept recommendations by his top commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, for tens of thousands more troops. CNN'S "State of the Union" and CBS' "Face the Nation." The U.S.-led mission in Afghanistan has already been troubled by a spike in combat deaths which has undermined public support in the United States and Western Europe. The specter of an Afghan government tainted by election fraud has raised questions abroad whether saving Afghanistan is worth the sacrifice. A U.S. service member was killed Sunday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, raising to at least 30 the number of U.S. troops killed this month in the Afghan war. Begging for forgiveness?

MUSIC Putin proposes song competition BOLINI GARCIA Associated Press BY DAVID NOWAK AND NATALIYA VASILYEVA MOSCOW — From the Cold War to a Battle of the Bands. ASSOCIATED PRESS Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, second from left, visits the Olympic Stadium where the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest will be held. Putin is proposing another international musical competition involving Russia, China and Central Asia. "Uzbekistan Idol" perhaps? Or maybe "Tajikistan Got Talent." Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, by some accounts a big fan of ABBA, has suggested organizing an international song competition for Russia, Central Asia and China, saying it would strengthen cultural ties among the nations. Europe has been holding such a competition for decades, called the Eurovision Song Contest. Known for campy and glitzy performers, the annual showcase for singers and musicians from across the continent typically attracts 100 million viewers or more from around the world on TV and the Internet. After regional competition, the overall winners are chosen by a panel of judges and telephone or text voting by participating countries, similar to "American Idol," although fans cannot vote for their own nation's entry. The most famous winners of the contest include ABBA in 1974 and Celine Dion in 1988. Russia won the competition in 2008 with heartthrob Dima Bilan's song, "Believe." Moscow is still beaming after hosting Eurovision in May, watched by 125 million Europeans. Some contestants tried to inject politics into the event, with the pop group Stephane and 3G from Georgia vowing to perform "We Don't Wanna Put In" — a thinly veiled jab at the Russian prime minister stemming from the war between Russia and Georgia in 2008. The group pulled out when organizers warned that politically charged songs would not be permitted. Putin has tried to bring the world's top events to Russia to showcase it as a prosperous, modern nation. He personally campaigned successfully to bring the 2014 Olympics to the Black Sea resort of Sochi, and he met Thursday with Sepp Blatter, the Putin first suggested creating a Eurasian version of the contest this week in China, dubbing it "Intervision," to take place among members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization — a regional economic and political pact designed in part to counter NATO. head of soccer's governing body, to push Russia's bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. The idea of a Eurasian contest fits with Putin's geopolitical strategy of casting Russia as a country whose political sway and cultural influence transcends the immense geographical span of its borders. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

RELIGION A just (and green) God Above the white refrigerator in my kitchen is a cabinet brimming with plastic shopping bags, the result of a post-grocery, pre-recycling ritual among me and my roommates. The idea is to wad up all the bags into a white or tannish-brown ball and stuff them into the cabinet, before a soft avalanche tumbles out onto our kitchen floor. Two things, however, have become apparent. First is that our cabinet is quickly reaching maximum capacity. Second is that despite my roommates and my humble intentions to be Earth conscious, we don't follow through as often as we'd like. I imagine our predicament isn't too different from most. For the past three years, we've all heard about the importance of being "green." We've seen pictures of ice caps melting. Celebrities have told us to take shorter showers. We can finally even wash our clothes with chemical-free detergent. But for all the increased attention environmentalism has garnered in media and the marketplace, few of us have significantly altered our habits. Nor has the weight of our impact on the Earth lessened. For many of us, the idea of environmental consciousness remains something we probably should strive for, but that somehow lingers as peripheral concern, READ RELIGIOUSLY JOSH HAFNER A lot of green campaigns and media hype have been ineffective in provoking real change because they revolve around two things: celebrity and consumerism. Whether it's Oprah giving "green workout tips" or Huggies organic disposable diapers, when sustainable living is marketed as sexy or purchasable, the result is another temporary trend. In a lecture given last spring in one of my journalism classes, environmental journalist and associate professor in the School of Journalism Simran Sethi argued that lasting motivation for environmental change could come not from external influences, but from within. She concluded that perhaps the greatest hope for lasting environmental change lay not in Hollywood or on Wall Street, but in the church. What if our reasons for responsible living came from somewhere deeper within, or even above? For many, faith would seem an unlikely springboard for environmental activism. Yet more and more faith communities are taking declarative measures to care for creation. In a context of faith, the motivation has less to do with climate change and more to do with wisely stewarding the beauty around us. In Romans 1:20 Saint Paul wrote, "Since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities ... have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made." For Paul, the beauty of the natural world was so great that one couldn't help but see God in it. In the Hebrew Scriptures, rivers, trees and mountains all interweave into divine metaphors. Even in Genesis, mankind is born from fresh soil and sacred breath. What then would Paul say to a world where forests are shaved bare and mountaintops removed for coal? Does our dwindling of creation hamper how we see God in it? For people of faith, sustainable living should be imperative not only to preserve the planet, but to preserve an integral way of experiencing the divine. It's a lasting imperative with ancient underpinnings: the color of God is green. Hafner is a Great Bend junior in journalism and English.

The Saturday of homecoming, I skipped out of the football game early and drove to Manhattan to visit some family and friends who were in town. It was a cool day so I was wearing a KU hoodie. Whenever I'm in Manhattan I usually try to wear some piece of KU apparel. I'm not a jerk about it; it's just fun. This time was different. I had to think about whether to do it. The University has received a lot of attention this academic year. Fights between basketball and football players, the outbreak of the H1N1 virus on campus, the push to reform alcohol policy, the announcements of the Gridiron Club and a Lied Center expansion and a reported rape in a residence hall begin to add up. And what they add up to is the perception that this school is different, a bit more raucous a place where things happen, both good and bad. The University of Kansas seems to be a place that soars higher than others but also falls harder. It's the kind of environment not everyone enjoys. While in Manhattan, I was talking to a Kansas State student who said she would not want to live in Lawrence. Over the course of the conversation, as the topic of our campus fights and the fact that there had been a drive-by shooting near my residence last year came up, even I thought inside that this couldn't look very good. This dual reality of a progressive, idealistic university and a university scarred by violence and unrest is not something new, though. In the homecoming special section published in The University Daily Kansan, an AT GUY JONATHAN SHORMAN JONATHAN SHORMAN article on the tumultuous history of Lawrence during the 1960s and '70s reminded me that these two realities used to loom much larger than they do now. The story recounted the 1970 bombing of the Kansas Union as well as dozens of other bombings and arsons that led the administration to consider sending students home, which they did after students (unsurprisingly) by voice vote chose overwhelmingly to leave. But students also spoke out in marches and sit-ins against racist and sexist policies and the Vietnam War. In 1972, 30 women took over the East Asian Studies Building to fight for equal rights for female students at the University. Their demands, which included a women's studies program and women's health care among others, were met 13 hours later. Forty years later, this University is still a place where our highest ideals and basest instincts fight in a very public way. Today, when embarrassing and sad incidents seem more prevalent than positive developments, I remind myself that someday, just as in the past, it will be the other way around. Which is why the next time I'm in Manhattan, I'll still be wearing in my KU hoodie. Shorman is a McPherson sophomore in journalism LETTER TO THE EDITOR Who conservatives truly stand up for In response to Chet Compton's Oct. 9 column "Liberalism versus conservatism," I would like to bring attention to his key point: That the conservative right side fights for the individual. This argument is completely contradictory to the actions we really see from the right side. In fact, the right side operates under the belief that only specific individuals deserve rights. For example, conservatives believe that certain individuals should not be given the right to legally marry the person they love, nor should individuals be allowed to choose what they believe is best for themselves and their unborn children. Not only does the conservative side believe people do not deserve these rights, they fight to keep people from obtaining them. It is true that bringing religion into the argument makes the left side fidgety. That is because the left side is willing to recognize that there are people in this country who do not share the same Christian ideals as the conservatives. Therefore, laws should not be made on that religious basis. Once again, these actions do not protect individuals who do not share the same views — it undermines them. The right side fights for only one individual: The powerful, wealthy, Christian and white individual. The idea of protecting only the individuals who fit specific criteria is the main difference between the liberal left and the conservative right. The left side is able to see that limiting protection comes at a huge cost for everyone else and the people who truly need protection. Anne Robertson is a junior from Wichita.

NATIONAL Parents may face charges for balloon boy conspiracy DAD AND BROTHERS ENTERING THE HOUSE Richard Heene, left, leads his sons Falcon, center, and Ryou out of their home in Fort Collins. Colo. early on Sunday. Hennie will likely face conspiracy charges for last week's balloon hoax. BY DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press The parents weren't under FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The story that a little boy had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said, and the boy's parents will likely face felony charges. The stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by Richard and Mayumi Heene, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said. The Heenes have reportedly been working on a reality TV deal in Los Angeles. Six-year old Falcon Heene may not have even been hiding in the rafters of the family's garage during the intense five-hour search for him Thursday, Alderdan said. "For all we know he may have been two blocks down the road playing on the swing in the city park," the sheriff said. The stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport and caused the National Guard to scramble two helicopters in an attempt to rescue the boy, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties. The drama played on out live television to millions of viewers worldwide. When the balloon landed without the boy in it, officials thought he had fallen out and began a grim search for his body. In fact, the balloon — which was held together with duct tape — would not have been able to launch with the 37-pound-boy inside, Colorado State University physics professor Brian Jones has determined. arrest, the sheriff said. He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant. Federal charges were also possible. The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Alderden said they would be seeking restitution for the costs, though he didn't have an estimate. The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500. Richard and Mayumi Heene were shopping for snacks at Walmart with their three sons as Alderden told reporters that the whole thing was a hoax. Richard Heene told The Associated Press he was "seeking counsel," though it was unclear whether he was talking about hiring an attorney. Alderman said the ACLU was representing the family, but the ACLU didn't return messages left Sunday. "This thing has become so convoluted." Heene said as tears welled in his eyes. He said his wife was holding together better than he was. The sheriff said all three of the Heenes' sons knew of the Thursday hoax, but likely won't face charges because of their ages. The oldest son is 10. COLLEGE STUDENTS DESERVE AN EDUCATION NOT INDOCTRINATION Christian students at our public universities are being denied their right to openly express what they believe.

VOLLEYBALL | 6B SLIPPING AWAY PAGE 1B Comeback drive comes up short BY JAYSON JENKS SMART 45 jjenks@kansan.com Kansas players slowly trickled out of the locker room after the game. They carried with them pizza, Gatorade and the disappointment from a loss that had slipped through their fingers. As the Jayhawks made their way into the throng of friends and family, Colorado's band blasted music while marching out of the stadium, leaving behind an empty field that served as the stage for a fan-swarming party just moments before. That 17th-ranked Kansas lost 34-30 at Colorado is certainly surprising. But what's more startling is that the Jayhawks didn't cap a furious comeback with a late, game-winning scoring drive. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing — the leader of Kansas' late-game heroics against Missouri and the player with the shine-in-the-spotlight reputation — had the chance to manage another such finish. And so, on Kansas' final possession with 59 seconds left, it seemed destined that Reesing would pull another rabbit out of his hat. Instead, his deep pass as time expired was jarred from the hands of junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe in the end zone, triggering a gold rush onto the field from those in the stands. "I was real close actually," Briscoe said. "I had the ball, came down and the guy's helmet hit it. He was in the right position. They came to play; we didn't." In the series before their final drive, the Jayhawks seemed to have grasped the lead with slightly more than four minutes left when Reesing flipped a pass to senior wide receiver Kerry Meier in the end zone.

Reeing was 30-for-51 for 401 yards and two touchdowns in Kansas' 34-30 loss Saturday night in Boulder. Weston White/KANSAN Victory lost in the final seconds BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com W When the potential game-winning catch slipped through Dezmon Briscoe's fingers, perceptions of Kansas' offensive omnipotence fell, as the ball did, to the turf. Kansas trailed Colorado 24-3 at one point, but that wasn't too much of a cause for concern. Not with 'Todd Reesing at quarterback. Not with Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier as his targets. Not with Jake Sharp healthy. Kansas' offense would come alive and, should the defense hold Colorado in check, lead a comeback. After all, wed seen this story before. Last season at Iowa State, Kansas fell behind to an underwhelming Big 12 North opponent in its first conference road game. But there wasn't a need to be too concerned. The Jayhawks, led by the aforementioned offensive stars, came back. This Saturday, it was expected that the Boulder crowd would be forced to endure a repeat performance. And, albeit briefly, it looked like those expectations would be fulfilled. Kansas' offense did find its legs. Reesing did find his weapons and Kansas did take the lead. Even when Colorado recaptured the game, matters never seemed out of hand. 34-30? No problem. Reeing would do what he does — what he seemingly has always done — and Kansas would win. Same old story.

In one skit, the men's team took a stab at ESPN's College GameDay for being in Manhattan and not Lawrence this year. Coach Bill Self entertained the crowd with his rendition of Digger Phelps, complete with Phelps' characteristic matching tie and highlighter pen and references to Notre Dame. Self also dropped what was perhaps the joke of the night when he referred to his players as having "a" @KANSAN.COM Cole Aldrich and Kallie Campbell dance to the song, "This Is How We Do It" during the junior men's basketball skat at Late Night. The 25th annual Late Night in the Phog featured skits and scrimmages from both the men's and women's basketball teams as the start of the 2009-10 Basketball season.

After breathtaking displays of the history of Kansas basketball. As in past Late Nights, the men's basketball team donned crazy getups and busted silly moves. C.J. Henry sported bright yellow throwback shorts, Tyrel Reed showed off his "worn" and Mario Little and Sherron Collins performed a snazzy Michael Jackson routine. Afterward, Self said it was merely a play on words and was not meant to make light of the situation. t Earlier in the evening, the women's basketball team did some dancing of its own in a glorified version of "American Idol." the team played in a 20-minute scrimmage to show off its No.1 ranking by every major preseason poll. The game was fun for the fans, but not from a coaching standpoint — Self made it clear that the team was not ready to hang any championship banners just yet. Self said that he was not impressed by what he saw — a lot of rusty players and a game of H-O-R-S-E. Adam Buhler/KANSAN "Pitiful play in some regards," Self said. "You can't expect it to be anything other than that." Yet there were some highlights for the fans, at least. Travis Releford, playing for the red team, and Markieff Morris, playing for the blue, each scored a scrimmage-high 15 points. Releford started the game guns-a-blazing. "Right off the tip was a good lob from Tyshawn, and that dunk just kept me going after that" he said At the end of the night, senior guard Sherron Collins thanked the fans for their support and said that the team wanted to start the season fresh and leave the past behind. With his teammates huddled on the court, Collins ended the night by giving the crowd a reason to think the Jayhawks had their focus in the right place: "Family" on three!" Edited by Brenna M. T.

The women's team will be led by Lauren Bonds, Julia Cummings, Kelsey Erb, Amanda Miller and Shayla Wilson. The men's team will be captained by Ryan Hays, Eric Fatti, Jordan Scott, Iain Trimble and Keron Tousaint. Bonds will serve as track team captain for the third consecutive year. This makes her the fourth woman in Kansas history to be named captain three times. During indoor season last year, Bonds set two school records in the mile (4:43.74) and 1,000 meters (2:26.60). Scott will also serve as men's team captain for his third-consecutive season. Scott is a two-time NCAA Indoor All-American and three-time Big 12 champion in the pole vault.

With this season's roster, Self has plenty of help to replace Morningstar, who averaged 30 minutes per game last season. "We've got some other guys that are pretty good that are disappointed about the sequence of events where he doesn't play but also may take advantage of an opportunity, too." Self said. "That's why we have depth." This was more than a learning experience for one player, Aldrich said. "You get put in situations and people handle it differently, but we've just got to learn."

The coach then gave the ball to Mr. Irrelevant, a player no longer worthy of his nickname. The Kansas City Chiefs are winless no more. Neither is coach Todd Haley, who earned victory No.1 with an assist from the last player taken in this year's draft.

Patriots set NFL record with their touchdowns NFL Succop, chosen No. 256 from South Carolina, converted from FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Tennessee Titans can only hope this is rock bottom. The Titans lost 59-0 to the New England Patriots on Sunday to fall to 0-6 on the season. For a franchise that has struggled to reverse its rough start, this was another step in the wrong direction. Kerry Collins completed two passes for minus-7 yards before leaving in favor of Vince Young. The Titans fumbled the ball six times, losing three, and threw a pair of interceptions. The Patriots amassed a franchise record in offense, and set NFL records with five touchdown passes in the second quarter. Associated Press - Access one of the largest provider networks in Kansas.

The Jayhawks recovered two fumbles against the Buffaloes, converting both for field goals. Weston White/KANSAN Notes Jake Sharp stages return to Kansas' starting lineup Kansas coach Mark Mangino spent the last three weeks answering questions about when, exactly, senior running back Jake Sharp would return. That won't happen anymore. In his first game since suffering an undisclosed injury in the week leading up to Kansas' game against Duke on Sept. 19, Sharp carried the ball 13 times for 29 yards. He averaged just 2.2 yards per carry and his longest run was for five yards. "I didn't think Jake had a lot of running room today," Mangino said. "I think their line stunts and things gave us a lot of trouble. Jake's pretty healthy, though, and that's a good thing. But I don't think we gave him Mangino said Colorado's defensive line — and Kansas' offensive line — had a lot to do with those less-than-impressive numbers. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) versial offensive pass interference call. Cutting in front of Meier, Wilson appeared to free up his fellow receiver with a "pick" on a Colorado defender. "That's a routine play," coach Mark Mangino said before trailing off. "No comment." Reesing was a bit more direct. "I'm still trying to figure out that pass-interference call," he said. "I don't know what that's about." Facing a team that entered Saturday 1-4 — including a 54-38 loss to Toledo earlier this season — Kansas allowed Colorado to hang around early. Only the twist in this week's game was rather unexpected: Kansas' offense — yes, the offense — struggled for much of the first half. The defense, in turn, played solidly, although the unit failed to dominate at any point. In front of a verbally raucous crowd, Kansas' slow start for the second consecutive week only poured fuel on the fire for the 50,000-plus fans hoping to witness an unset. Kansas scored the game's first three points before Colorado rattled off 24 points in the second quarter. "We dug a hole for ourselves," Mangino said. "We can't blame anybody but ourselves." After the game, still wearing his uniform pants and tight-fit under-shirt, Reesing heaped a portion of the blame onto his own plate. Twice in the first half, Reesing turned the ball over (one fumble, one interception), allowing the Buffaloes to start drives at the Jayhawks' three-yard line each time. It certainly didn't help a defense playing by the bend-but-dont-break theory. "I turned the ball over twice and gave them 14 easy points." Reesing said. "We can't spot a team 14 points on the road." Added Briscoe: "The defense came to play but the offense didn't. The offense put the defense in a tough position." The Jayhawks actually grabbed a 30-27 lead early in the fourth quarter on a touchdown Yet in what many have come to expect, Kansas rallied. Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter. com/JaysonJenks t pass from Reesing to Briscoe, who described the comeback attempt as "one of the gutsiest efforts of a team I've ever played on." He also acknowledged that it was the most dappointing loss that hed been a part of in his three years at Kansas. "Around here we have the 24-hour rule," Briscoe said. "If we win, we celebrate for 24 hours and then we prepare for the next team. Unfortunately we lost so we have to treat it like a hangover: 24 hours and let it go. We can't sit back and be like, 'Oh, we lost to Colorado because we have Oklahoma right in front of us.'" On a day when Big 12 North front runners Missouri and Nebraska were defeated with relative ease by South opponents, Kansas could have taken a small step forward in the race to the Big 12 championship game.

Colorado's tough defense puts pressure on Jayhawks The Buffaloes consistently blitzed, forcing Reeing to leave and pocket. True, those statistics may reflect on the play of the offensive line. But Reesing said that Colorado's defense disrupted Kansas on offense. "Sometimes they blitzted more than we had to block."Reesing said. "Credit to them because when they did that, they were playing man coverage.And we had some trouble early in the game playing against man coverage." Kansas now begins the second half of the season, and the schedule does little to aid the Jayhawks' aspirations of capturing the Big 12 North crown. Kansas plays three ranked opponents, while also still facing its biggest competition in the North with Nebraska and Missouri. "Every team in the North has a loss at this point," Reesing said. "No reason to hang our head. It's a long season." Instead, the jayhawks only mud died the outlook even more. Edited by Amanda Thompson New faces join the line as defensive positions shuffle BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com BOULDER, Colo. — With the 34-30 final score lit up on a small scoreboard above his head and the Colorado marching band blaring the fight song in the background, coach Mark Mangino said he still had faith in his defense despite numerous switches in the lineup. Only senior safety Darrell Stuckey and junior cornerback Chris Harris have remained constants in a secondary that has been shuffled throughout the season. "I think it worked out pretty well," Mangino said about the moves. "We've created competition at positions, and I think that some of those kids are going to be outstanding players for us." A couple of "those kids," freshman safety Lubbock Smith and freshman defensive tackle John Williams, made their first collegiate start on Saturday. Cornerback DJ. Beshears became the second freshman to make an appearance on defense this season when he replaced sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson after the first drive. Freshman Huldow Tharp already plays regularly at linebacker. Mangino said the defense knew for a couple of weeks that significant changes were coming and that the coaching staff had already moved two players from offense to defense. Senior linebacker Angus Quigley, a former running back, also saw extended time. Williams moved from offensive tackle to defensive tackle. r Follow Clark Goble at twitter. com/cqobble89 Mangino also said freshman Bradley McDougald moved from wide receiver to the defensive side of the ball, and McDougald saw time on the field on offense and defense against Colorado. "I have total confidence in the adjustment of our coaches" Stuckey said. "I know that if they put a player out there, the player has a full ability to go out there and execute every play each and every way." Stuckey and Harris both spoke to their faith that the most capable players are out on the field. Harris said adding new parts to the offense and using new players on defense were completely different ideas. "All we got to do is go out there and do our own job." Harris said. "It's not really like the offense in the way you got to gel together. Just communicate with one another and we'll be fine" But the difference in the game was probably Colorado's ability to convert two Todd Reesing turnovers into 14 points, and Kansas' inability to get touchdowns off Colorado's turnovers. Reesing's turnovers both came in Kansas territory. Stuckey said that even with their "backs against the wall," the defense needed to play better. "No matter what happens, no matter what yardage they are at, we got to bear down and make them kick a field goal instead of getting a touchdown," Stuckey said. But Stuckey said as long as the rest of the defense prepared well, he wouldn't have any problems with further rearranging. "When it comes to player by player, whoever is out there is going to have my full confidence in them because I know they went through the whole week learning everything just like I did," Stuckey said. Edited by Amanda Thompson BYE CLUB Senior wide receiver Kerry Meyer looks for a pass near the corner of the end zone Saturday night against Colorado. Colorado cornerback Jalil Brown knocked it down, and Kansas lost 34-30 before Folsom Field was rushed by Colorado fans. COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) that happened. But that, combined with Daymond Patterson's woefully inefficient punt return, only presented obstacles for the jayhawk offense to overcome. fourth down pass in the end zone. Thus the pressure, once again, sat squarely on the shoulders of the Kansas defense. But, should the defense step up and force a punt, Reesing and Co. couldn't possibly fail again. Right? And overcome them they would. Reesing would find Meier short, Briscoe long, and lead a drive down the field. With one final shot at the end zone, Reesing The defense did, of course, force a punt.

KU DINING SERVICES Contributing to Student Success would look to Briscoe one final time. Briscoe, a physical presence who seems never really to be covered, would go up in traffic — however condensed—and pull down the ball. Reesing would do that fist pump thing that he does. Kansas would win, and the team would be jubilant. layhawk nation would celebrate, comfortable in its collective knowledge that this particular story would always have a happy ending. DINE IN with KU Dining Services Unfortunately, reality has a way of disallowing such narratives. Kansas did work its way down the field, far enough to muster a couple of shots. Briscoe did elevate above the defense and get his fingers on the ball, but that's where the story took a twist. He couldn't come up with what would have been a fantastic, game-winning, catch. And so there was no fist pump, no Kansas victory. Jayhawk fans didn't get their familiar ending Not in this game, at least. And although optimistic perceptions of Kansas' offensive dominance may have disappeared, they shouldn't be replaced by overly fatalistic ones. This particular story may have come to an end, but the season has not. Edited by Amanda Thompson Quote of the Game Kansas coach Mark Mangino on the play of Colorado quarterback Tyler Hansen, who made his first start of the season Saturday: "The quarterback from Colorado was the difference maker. It's unfortunate that they picked this week to take his redshirt off" PETER BROADWAY Mangino Game Balls 3. Lubbock Smith: Smith was thrust into Kansas' starting lineup Saturday for his first start of the season. At safety, Smith made eight tackles and provided the Jayhawks with a solid tackler around the line of scrimmage. 1. Dezmon Briscoe: In what is developing as his expected stat line, Briscoe hauled in eight catches for 154 yards and a touchdown. And he made huge plays down the stretch to even give Kansas a chance. 2. Darrell Stuckey: Stuckey finished with 12 tackles — the second most stops for Kansas against Colorado. He also tacked on an interception in the second quarter. Delay of Games 3. Daymond Patterson: After struggling against Iowa State last week, Patterson was replaced early against Colorado by freshman cornerback D.J. Beshears. Plus, Patterson lost seven yards when he returned a punt backward before Kansas' final drive. 1. Todd Reesing: Reesing led an impressive comeback in the second half, but he made two costly errors in the first half. His fumble and, later, his interception twice gave Colorado the ball at Kansas' three-yard line. The Buffaloes scored touchdowns each time. Play of the Game 2. Offensive line: A week after turning in its best performance of the season, the offensive line turned in arguably its worst outing against Colorado. The unit allowed five sacks. Worse: Kansas couldn't find any room to run the ball. Facing a third and 29 at Kansas '46-yard line, Reesing scrambled, pointed down the field and unloaded a Doug Flutie-looking pass deep down the sideline. With Colorado defenders dropping deep in coverage, Briscoe managed to separate himself before leaping to make a 41-yard catch. Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... Kansas showed it won't simply roll over and die this season. The Jayhawks were backed into a hole at halftime and still managed to claw back to take the lead in the second half. Erasing what was once a 21-point deficit is never an easy order and Kansas must be praised for that. The Jayhawks suffered a loss in a game they should have won. With the top teams in the Big 12 waiting on the schedule, Kansas certainly couldn't afford to lose to a 1-4 Colorado team. The offense severely struggled for much of the game and Kansas' rushing attack never was a factor. The worst part: Colorado isn't the best defense Kansas will face this season. D-LINE DOING ITS JOB BIGGEST ANSWER ... Kansas' defensive line managed two sacks and accounted for one forced fumble. But the unit struggled to contain Hansen's speed. The Jayhawks also allowed the Buffaloes to move the ball with relative ease on the ground. Mangino wasn't bluffing when he said that personnel changes could be made along Kansas' defense. That was certainly evident on Saturday. The Jayhawks featured two new players in the secondary, while little-used reserves such as senior linebacker Angus Quigley and junior defensive end Quintin Woods saw playing time. What will become of this Kansas team? It's easy to point out flaws and negative trends after an upset loss. And surely the Jayhawks allowed plenty of room for skepticism. But Mangino has proven in his tenure that his teams usually have the ability to bounce back. Can this year's team turn things around quickly? LOOKING AHEAD ... The schedule doesn't present the Jayhawks with any favors. Awaiting Kansas are back-to-back games against Oklahoma at home and Texas Tech on the road. The Jayhawks need to sort through their problems in a hurry. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Original prediction: Kansas 31, Colorado 14. Actual score: Colorado 34, Kansas 30. OK, so anytime you predict the wrong result, that's never a good thing. In fact, that's just plain stupid. Kansas dug too deep a hole in the first half. FINAL THOUGHT ... Playing with a handful of new faces, Kansas' defense wasn't the reason for this loss. Last week against Iowa State, Kansas' defense played extremely poorly. That wasn't the case this Saturday. The Jayhawks weren't great, but they allowed the offense a chance to win this game. That's a small step of improvement.

IOWA STATE 24 BAYLOR 10 Texas Tech quarterback Steven Sheffield impressed once again, throwing for 235 yards and a touchdown. Iowa State scored 24 unanswered points and only gave up a touchdown in the final minute of the game. The game turned on a mental error by Nebraska running back Niles Paul late in the first quarter. Quarterback Zach Lee threw a swing pass to Paul toward the sideline that fell. However, because the pass did not go forward, the ball was live and Texas Tech's Daniel Howard scooped up the fumble and rumbled 82 yards for a touchdown. effort on the road at Missouri, the Cornhuskers hoped to stop Texas Tech's pass-heavy offense. The Cyclones converted 12 of 18 third down attempts and used a relentless rushing attack to take down the Golden Bears in Ames, Iowa. The Red Raiders were having none of that. Nebraska had 12 penalties for 75 yards compared to Texas Tech's four penalties for 39 yards. The score put the Red Raiders up two touchdowns and it was never closer than that again. Baylor quarterback Blake Szymanski threw for 223 yards with three interceptions. The Cyclones probably could have won by more points than they did.

Associated Press SWIMMING & DIVING Team takes fourth despite challenges BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com Tough competition provided a challenge for the Kansas swimming and diving team at the Big 12 relays. This forced younger swimmers to step up. The team finished fourth after it fought against perennially ranked teams like Texas A&M and Texas, as well as the illnesses of several Jayhawk swimmers. The influx of less experienced swimmers was one of the reasons the jayhawks saw a noticeable difference in their performance from years past. "Normally we're up there competing really well with Missouri," coach Clark Campbell said. Kansas finished in a distance fourth with 43 points while Missouri captured third place with 75 points. Texas A&M barely edged out Texas for first place with 109 points. Iowa State and Nebraska-Lincoln finished fifth and sixth respectively. "We just have to be patient," Campbell said. "It's going to take a few months for us to realize our potential." The highest any Kansas relay team placed on the day was third. That team consisted of senior Erin Goetz, juniors Julia Kuzhl and Joy Bunting and freshman Brooke Brull. They competed in the 200-yard medley relay. They earned a time of 1:45.35, but lost to relay teams from the University of Texas and Texas A&M. Numerous Kansas relay teams managed to fight their way to fourth place finishes. Among these were the 3x100 yard breaststroke relay team, the 100-yard medley relay team, the 200-yard freestyle relay team, the 400-yard medley relay team, the t Follow Kansan writer Andrew Taylor at twitter. com/andrew_taylor-19 3 by 50 yard backstroke relay team and the 100-yard freestyle relay team. Several individuals within the relays performed well for Kansas. Kuzhil provided several dominating backstroke performances, earning Kansas an early lead in her backstroke leg of the medley relays. Goetz also had several solid performances on the day. "Erin had an awesome meet," Campbell said. "She really stepped up and swam some great races." Though some swimmers did perform well, the team as a whole struggled to finish its races strong. Time splits for many of the Kansas swimmers were about four seconds slower at the end of their relay leg than at the beginning. "We need to work on bringing races home," Campbell said. The team will work to make this correction as they enter a new stage of their training this week. This stage focuses on building strength and endurance in the water, which will aid the swimmers in maintaining their pace throughout the course of their races. In its next meet, Kansas faces tough duels against two of last year's Top 25 teams, Florida and Arkansas. "We have a really intense schedule, especially at the beginning of the season," senior team captain Carrah Haley said.

At the invitational, the competitors are split into three different races each with equally tough competition. "We had in our race Northern Arizona and Oregon, the top two teams" said senior Bret Imgrund. The women's team finished 18th out of 37 teams, which featured four of the nation's top women's teams. “Pre-nats has all the best teams in the country in it, minus one or two maybe,” sophomore Rebeka Stowe said. “This was a really big meet to just kind of see where we line up with those other teams around the country.” Junior Amanda Miller and Stowe finished in second and third for Kansas with times of 21:49.60 and 21:51.70. Finishing first for Kansas was senior Lauren Bonds, placing 17th out of 247 individuals with a time of 21:03.70. This was a career best for Stowe, cutting one minute off her time on this course when she ran it last year. Stowe said one of her goals for the season was to finish with Miller. "I've just been working like all of our practices trying to stay as close to Kara and Amanda as I could," she said of teammates Miller and sophomore Kara Windisch. "I've done a better job at that, falling off of them as much at practices, and I think that helped mentally." KANSAS 183 KANSAS 185 Senior Kellie Schneider finished in the top four for Kansas for the first time this season with a time of 22:22.00, a personal record. Finishing fifth for Kansas in 164th place overall was Windisch at 22:48.20. Freshmen Tessa Turcotte and Kathleen Thompson finished fifth and sixth for Kansas, with times of 22:17.60 and 23:40.30. The men's team finished 17th out of 34 teams. Each runner finished at least thirty seconds faster than his time from last year — many of them finishing one minute faster. Kyra Kilwein, left, and Allie Marquis run through a bridge at the Bob Timmons Invitational meet Sept. 5 at Rim Rock Farm. The women's team finished 18th this weekend at the ISU Pre-NationalsInvitational. Sophomore Donny Wasinger and Imgrund finished first and second for Kansas in 42nd and 59th place with times of 24:38.10 and 24:46.60. Both runners ran career-best times. "We had another year of training and we had a better idea of how to compete and how the race was going to go out," Imgrund said. "The conditions were much sloppier than they were last year and we were happy to have Donny and I under 25," Imgrund said. Coming in third for Kansas was sophomore Kaleb Humphreys. Kaleb has slowly been finishing higher up in the Kansas team — finishing fifth, tenth and fourth for Kansas in the previous meets Sophomore Austin Bussing and junior Nick Capriario finished next for Kansas with times of 25:06:10 and 25:31:90 in 123rd and 128th place overall. Finishing up for the men were junior Dan Van Orsdel and sophomore Josh Baden. Edited by Abbey Strusz SOCCER Weekend games bring mixed results An unpredictable Big 12 soccer season continued this weekend for the Jayhawks. On its last regular season road trip, Kansas defeated Oklahoma 2-1, but couldn't overcome Baylor in a long, disappointing match that took two overtime periods to settle. BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Friday's game against Oklahoma began well for Kansas, as it tallied the first four shots of the game and outshot the Sooners 8-4 in the first half. t Follow Joel Petterson at twit ter.com/j_itter. But Oklahoma still managed to score first when senior Whitney Palmer capitalized on a mishandled ball from the Kansas defense and scored on a 17-yard blast in the 37th minute. The goal was Palmer's 15th of the season, the second-most in the Big 12. The lead was short-lived, however, as Kansas answered two minutes later when two Kansas freshmen leveled the game at 1-1. Whitney Berry scored left-footed off Shelby Williamson's cross to tally her fifth goal of the season. Kansas dominated the second half as well with 10 shots on goal, and it paid off in the 73rd minute, when sophomore Emily Cressy collected a well-placed pass from Williamson and scored on the near side of the goal. Cressy's goal put her at seven on the season, which leads the team. The goal also proved to be the game-winner, as Kansas held off Oklahoma for the rest of the match. It was Kansas' first conference victory on the road, and it gave the team a huge boost, coach Mark Francis said. "Of all the games we've played this year, this was probably our biggest," he said. The Jayhawks' success hit a wall Sunday against Baylor. Kansas dug itself a hole early by scoring on themselves then managed to tie it up in the second half and force overtime. But Baylor freshman Lisa Swilinski gave Baylor the overtime goal and the victory with a 20-yard free kick that struck the crossbar and went in. The Bears applied plenty of pressure on the Jayhawks in the first half with seven shots to the Jayhawks' five. It paid off in the 19th minute when a ball in the Kansas penalty area deflected off of a Kansas defender and into its own net to give Baylor a 1-0 lead. "The first 20 minutes we came out a little bit slow," Francis said. "They're a very aggressive team with a lot of hustle and we didn't really match that." The momentum swung in favor of Kansas in the second half when senior Lauren Jackson crossed a ball to Cressy, who placed a shot between the Baylor goalkeeper's legs for her eighth goal of the season. The Jayhawks continued to create quality opportunities in the second half, with two headers barely stopped by the Baylor goalkeeper and one shot off the crossbar. was just a matter of time before we scored," Francis said. But the Jayhawks couldn't capitalize on any of their chances, so the game continued to overtime, where Baylor stunned the Jayhawks with a game-ending goal two minutes into the second overtime period. "I felt like in the second half, it "Today was disappointing because of the way we lost," Francis said. "I felt we deserved a little more out of it, but we're playing well." It was the first time Kansas had lost to Baylor since 2002, and put Kansas at ninth place in the Big 12 with three games left to play. But the remaining games against Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri are all at home, and Francis said he was still confident in the team's odds for a postseason berth. Kansas sits just three points back from eighth-placed Texas Tech but will need all the victories it can get in a tight Big 12 race with six teams within four points of each other. — Edited by Abbey Strusz Dr. Kevin Lenahan Your optometrist. 785.838.3200 9th & Iowa the spectacle eyewear center www.lenahaneyedoc.com 2 FOR 1 BURGERS MONDAYS, ALL DAY 35¢ WINGS WEDNESDAYS 6-12 henry t's 3520 W SIXTH ST. 785-749-2999 ORDER ONLINE HENRYTS.COM Dr. Kevin Lenahan Your optometrist. 785.838.3200 9th & Iowa the spectacle eyewear center www.lenahaneyedoc.com 2 FOR 1 BURGERS MONDAYS, ALL DAY 35¢ WINGS WEDNESDAYS 6-12 henry t's 3520 W SIXTH ST. 785-749-2999 ORDER ONLINE HENRYTS.COM GRANADA TONIGHT PETE YORN DOORS OPEN 8PM THURSDAY, OCT 29TH I LOVE THE 90s THE KICKOFF TO YOUR HALLOWEEN WEEKEND THURSDAY, NOV 19TH LMFAO W/SHWAYZE, FAR EAST MOVEMENT, PARADISO GIRLS, & SPACE COWBOY DOORS OPEN 8PM TICKETS ON SALE NOW TICKETS AVAILABLE AT 1020 MASS & WWW.TICKETMASTER.COM WWW.THEGRANADA.COM the spectacle eyewear center 2 FOR 1 BURGERS MONDAYS, ALL DAY 35¢ WINGS WEDNESDAYS 6-12 henry t's 3520 W SIXTH ST. 785-749-2999 ORDER ONLINE HENRYTS.COM GRANADA TONIGHT PETE YORN DOORS OPEN 8PM THURSDAY, OCT 29TH I LOVE THE 90s THE KICKOFF TO YOUR HALLOWEEN WEEKEND THURSDAY, NOV 19TH LMFAO W/SHWAYZE, FAR EAST MOVEMENT, PARADISO GIRLS, & SPACE COWBOY DOORS OPEN 8PM TICKETS ON SALE NOW TICKETS AVAILABLE AT 1020 MASS & WWW.TICKETMASTER.COM WWW.THEGRANADA.COM the Granada Theft Service Troy a bit of security securi Darden, s every Studer But d stuffed unsecte a quick minute gone a lesson.

A commentary by the official news agency called on Iranian security forces "to seriously deal with Pakistan once and for all." And President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told his Pakistani counterpart that his nation must hunt down suspected members of Jundallah, or Soldiers of God. Iran made no specific threats against the U.S. or Britain, but the accusations came as talks began in Vienna over Iran's nuclear program. the criminals as soon as possible," state TV quoted Ahmadinejad as telling President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday.

Iran accused the U.S. and other countries of aiding Sunni militants responsible for the bombing. The U.S. is part of those talks, which observers said made little headway Monday beyond spelling out each side's position. Sunday's attack occurred in a region that is home to several minority Sunni tribes in rugged southeastern Iran. It is one of the country's most restive areas. Until now, authorities have avoided widespread security offensives that could draw in outside extremists such as al-Qaida. In May, the two countries signed a landmark pact for a natural gas pipeline into Pakistan. Pakistan's president quickly condemned the attack that killed at least 42 people — including five senior Revolutionary Guard officers — in a district near Iran's border with Pakistan.

The city's Historic Resources Commission reviewed the expansion project and road-relocation plan during last Thursday's meeting at City Hall. The commission approved of the stadium expansion but said realignment plans were not yet fully developed. "The plans of the road proj ect hadn't been put together in detail," said Anne Marvin, one of the HRC's commissioners, said. "Our action was on the construction on the stadium itself, which we approved." The proposal includes a series of maps detailing how the realignment would build roads and parking lots in place of the field. By moving the block of 11th street between Illinois and Mississippi Streets, the new road would provide access to 158 new parking spaces. The realignment would create a four-way intersection on Mississippi Street, currently a confusing set of offset intersections.

The facility will be used in the Kansas Relays and also provide a new field and seating for soccer and softball. In addition to parking changes.

LAWRENCE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Lawrence Center, the hospital receives many blood donations from the eight other Community Blood Centers in the region, including the nearest one in Topeka, located at 800 SW Lane. "When we place an order for blood products from CBC, we don't know where the blood has been collected," she said. "Since they have several collection sites in the area as well as mobile blood drives, it could come from several places. We didn't get our blood exclusively from the Lawrence site." Tate also said he thought the effect would be minimal for donors and receivers of blood. He said the center would increase mobile blood drives in Lawrence to accommodate for the loss of the center. "Community Blood Center is a regional organization that serves nearly 3 million people," he said. "Our staff is committed, as are our donors, to ensure we have an adequate supply of life-saving blood for patients in need." Cordt said driving to Topeka for his regular appointments made it more difficult to donate as often. Nevertheless, he said he was still dedicated to keeping his schedule as long as he could. "It's fairly easy to do if you're not afraid of needles. It doesn't take a super long time," he said. "You realize that you're actually saving lives — that they're in desperate need.

He said he would recommend that students purchase locks before they become victims of theft and said the security was worth the price of the lock. "If you leave items in unlocked lockers it is just too easy for thieves to go down there and grab them," Willson said. Chappell said she thought most of the thefts at the Ambler recreation center were opportunity crimes committed by people only after they discovered unattended property. She also said some criminals likely came to the center for the sole purpose of stealing others' property. Chappell said she thought these criminals showed legitimate student IDs to gain access to the building. "These people are showing an ID, but it might not actually be the person that the ID belongs to, or they may look so much like the person in the ID that it is hard to distinguish through our system" Channell said. Chappell said any student who thought they might be the victim of a theft should first check with the lost and found, located at the welcome center. If the item cannot be found, a supervisor will suggest the student file a report with the KU Public Safety Office. - Edited by Nick Gerik LEGAL [Image] A person is handling a small amount of crumbs in a wire basket on a flat surface.

ASSOCIATED PRESS A worker at the San Francisco Medical Cannabis Clinic prepare packets of marijuana buds for sale in San Francisco on Monday. Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Coley last week said he wanted to shut down clinics that sell out for profit California raids pot stores State shutting down illegal suppliers of medicinal marijuana LOS ANGELES — Clay Tepel knew there were risks to setting up a medical marijuana shop; it could lose money, be robbed or be raided by authorities. BY GREG RISLING Associated Press Still, he wasn't expecting the phone call one August day when a voice said the police were outside and he needed to open up or they would bust down the door. His first thought, that it was a joke, turned to terror when he opened the door. Heavily armed officers in bulletproof vests and, oddly enough, Bermuda shorts stormed his store, handcuffed him, disabled security cameras and seized his drugs before taking him to jail. When he asked why his shop was invaded, an officer responded, Those words could prove prescient after Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said last week he wants to shutter clinics that sell pot for profit. Cooley's plan is the latest in a prolonged conflict in California over whether medical marijuana is truly having its intended effect or is being abused by the larger population. "We're closing them all down." Until recently, raids on clinics typically led to federal prosecutions, but Cooley's remarks and similar ones from Attorney General Jerry Brown signal a new approach to clear the haze left by Proposition 215, the 1996 state ballot measure that allowed sick people with referrals from doctors and an identification card to smoke pot. A new policy memo issued Monday by the Justice Department told prosecutors that pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers should not be targeted for federal prosecution in states that allow medical marijuana. The guidelines do, however, make it clear that federal agents will go after people whose distribution goes beyond what is permitted under state law or use medical marijuana as a cover for other crimes. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Everybody is scared," said Tepel, who has spoken with other pot store operators. "Why are voters' rights been stepped all over? This kind of blind justice has to stop." The comments Holder made earlier this year appear to have emboldened entrepreneurs as marijuana shops cropped up across California. In Los Angeles alone, there are an estimated 800 dispensaries, more than any other city in the nation. In 2005, there were only four, authorities said. The crackdown is a crushing blow for dispensary owners who were relieved in March when U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said federal agents would only go after mariqua distributors who violate both federal and state laws. ENVIRONMENT Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown speaks at Lancaster House in London Monday. Brown urged leaders to attend a climate summit in Denmark. Cooley contends a vast majority of several hundred outlets his office investigated aren't following state law. He said he would target stores that are profiting and selling to people who don't qualify for medicinal marijuana.

Associated Press delegates to "If we do not reach a deal at this time, let us be in no doubt: Once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no retrospective global agreement in some future period can undo that choice. By then it will be irretrievably too late." Brown told the Major Economies Forum talks in London that countries need to compromise with one another to reach a deal at December's conference to avoid "the dioxide emissions. Brown, who plans to attend the U.N. conference, called on fellow leaders to join him in hammering out an urgent agreement. Despite Brown's grim warning, the Swedish and British enviromen GORDON BROWN British prime minister "There are now fewer than 50 days to set the course of the next few decades." "There are now fewer than 50 days to set the course of the next few decades," Brown said. "We cannot afford to fail. If we fail now, we will pay a heavy price... If we falter, the Earth will itself be at risk."

The financial architecture is a key element of a Copenhagen agreement, though not one of the most contentious issues. the financial system should be managed, and there is also shared support for the idea that developing countries should be included and have their say in the management of the system," Sweden's Andreas Carlgren told The Associated Press. More pressing is the demand by developing countries to know how much money the wealthy countries are prepared to pay.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: H equals E FILM 'Amelia' film to donate costumes, props to Atchinson's Earhart Museum ASSOCIATED PRESS ATCHISON — The hometown of Amelia Earhart is hoping that a new Hollywood movie about the life of the famous aviator will spark renewed interest in her roots. Earhart was born in Atchison, about 45 miles northwest of Kansas City, on July 24, 1897. The Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum, which attracts between 20,000 to 30,000 people each year, will receive donated props and other items used during filming that officials hope will attract more visitors. Two-time Academy award winner Hillary Swank stars as Earhart in director Mira Nair's "Amelia," co-starring Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor in the life story of the aviation pioneer who vanished on her around-the-world flight in 1937. The film opens Friday. The movie remembers the life of Earlhart and her disappearance along with navigator Fred Noonan while they were trying to become the first aviators to circle the globe. Interest in Earlhart spikes whenever someone begins another search to find her remains, but Atchison The Kansas City Star reports that the costumes and props will join other Earhart memorabilia already displayed at the museum, which is housed in the home where Earhart was born. The items will go on display Friday. The museum expects to receive a brown leather bomber jacket, a white jumpsuit, a red blouse and ivory slacks worn by Swank. "It's really fun to see even more excitement about it," said Jacque Pregont, president of the Atchison Chamber of Commerce. "I think the national publicity that the film has gotten, and the fact that it's a really, really strong cast, has helped." Gere plays George Putnam, Earhart's husband, and McGregor stars as Earhart's lover, Gene Vidal. residents expect the movie to create even more buzz. During a news conference last Friday in New York, the items were presented to Susan Larson president of the Ninety-Nines, a nonprofit organization of female pilots that owns the Atchison museum. "It's exciting because we've been trying and trying to think of something new that we could do for the museum, and this just sort of came up out of the blue," said Carole Sutton, chairwoman of the museum's board of trustees.

POLITICALLY CORRECT Good or bad: More troops to Afghanistan In what has become President Barack Obama's biggest foreign-policy decision thus far in his term, many top officials have urged him to send as many as 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. Here's what three of our columnists think about the possible troop increase. LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BEN COHEN Troop surges make me a little nervous. There's this feeling I get that our entire foreign policy is based around the idea that you should throw as many soldiers as possible at something. Yes, it'll quiet down an opposing force for a time, but that isn't exactly a lasting strategy for peace. When it comes to Afghanistan, I can't fault the idea of increasing troop levels entirely. The Bush administration was criticized in its later years for putting so much emphasis on Iraq that it almost seemed as if the country we began our "War on Terror" in had been placed on the back burner. Obama campaigned on the idea that Afghanistan needed a renewed focus, and if troop levels are increased, that is a way of making good. That being said, increased troop levels alone can't end the Taliban insurgency or promote the country's hedging democracy. We can and should remain involved in Afghanistan, but there needs to be an emphasis on strengthening infrastructure. If we can't do that, we will accomplish very little in terms of stabilizing the region and improving our image on the international level. Cohen is a Topeka senior in political science. THE LAWRENCIAN DANTHOMPSON We must think carefully before we expend even more money and more American lives on a war with no straightforward path to victory, but sending more troops is the least bad option. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the American commander in Afghanistan, is correct in his conclusion that we must escalate the conflict to a committed counterinsurgency campaign, or we will fail to stop the Taliban from dragging the country back into the dark ages. Such an outcome would be a brutal letdown for the population of Afghanistan, and it would prove to be far worse for American national security in the long run. Such a surge could be no panacea, but it will demonstrate our commitment to the people of Afghanistan and serve as a necessary stopgap that will open the possibility for a political solution upon which our success ultimately depends. This means reforming or circumventing President Hamid Karzai's corrupt, incompetent administration, winning over the myriad warlords and tribal leaders in the hinterland and establishing effective government away from Kabul. Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON When it comes to pushing a radical left-wing domestic agenda, the administration wants to move at breakneck speed. From economic stimuli to bailouts to a healthcare takeover, everything is viewed as a "potential disaster" if we don't act quickly. Apparently the war in Afghanistan is different. Obama's clear and tough language on Afghanistan during the presidential campaign has given way to uncertainty and waffling. The Obama administration has been under fire for not sending more troops ever since Gen. McChrystal warned the war "will likely result in failure" if more forces aren't sent. Where is the urgency we've been accustomed to from this administration? It doesn't seem to apply when our troops are dying in the field. Obama is trying not to disappoint his far-left friends, but he does so at his own peril. The president needs to listen to Gen. McChrystal and Gen. Petraeus, who successfully used a surge to bring peace to an unstable Iraq. — Compton is a Wichita senior in political science. Go to Kansan.com to vote and send your topic ideas to pc@kansan.com WHO DO YOU THINK IS POLITICALLY CORRECT? Smoking ban should pass POLITICS Sen. David Wysong (R-Mission Hills) has been trying to pass a statewide smoking ban for the past three years. Recently, Wysong has asked the Board of Regents to back his efforts. The political weight of the Regents has yet to be decided, but members of the KU community should urge the Regents to support a statewide smoking ban. As an asthmatic, secondhand smoke is especially harmful to me. It's always frustrating when others light up without any consideration or respect as to how their habit might cause harm. In spite of this, I am also an advocate of personal choice. In the past I have supported a business' right to choose whether to ban smoking within an establishment. My view was that if others wished to dine or drink in a nonsmoking environment, they could choose from nonsmoking establishments. It has been hard to ignore the obvious health benefits other states have experienced with public smoking bans. Today, smoking has become less of an issue of personal choice or liberty and more an issue of public health concern. Smoking-attributed illnesses cost Kansans nearly $927 million a year, according to the Kansas Health Policy Authority. Fourthousand Kansans die each year from smoking-related diseases, including those caused by secondhand smoke. Twenty-four states currently have statewide smoking bans, according to Smoke Free America. A statewide smoking ban would likely encourage smokers to quit, and therefore would also decrease state health costs for treating tobacco-related illnesses. A statewide smoking ban could not only decrease smoking-related illnesses and costs, but may also decrease the number of CAMPUS CONNECTION ERIN BROWN Not only would customers benefit from public smoking bans, but also employees of bars, restaurants and other establishments would no longer be put in the danger of secondhand smoke. The smoking ban in Lawrence has had obvious positive effects on students. I have appreciated breathing cleaner air as a result of the ban. Gov. Mark Parkinson has said that he will make a statewide smoking ban one of his top priorities. Consequently, students, faculty and other members of the KU community should urge the Regents to also support a statewide smoking ban. Although people do have a right to endanger their personal health by smoking cigarettes, students, employees and other citizens also have a right to breathe clean air and not contract illnesses and diseases caused by secondhand smoke.

MARK ANN EXHIBIT MARIAM SAIFAN STUDENT LIFE Fall break trip to Austin deepens perspective Fall break was just another week for me last year, but my decision to visit a friend in Austin, Texas, during this year's break has been a rejuvenating and eye-opening experience, if only for the amazing number of similarities the city has to Lawrence. As I write this, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" rests unmoved on the floor, the frantic sounds of Austin's traffic reverberate off the bricks of the apartment complex and the remaining rays of sunlight begin to disappear beneath the backdrop of taco stands and laundromats. I try to replay the scenes still lingering from my guided stroll through the University of Texas: There's the Jefferson Davis statue, here's the philosophy building and — oh my God — is that the football stadium? Even The Daily Texan, the University's student newspaper, has a watered-down version of Free For All (From the Oct. 16 paper: "Taco Bell beef cakes. Like pancakes, but with beef") Austin bustles with all walks of life: the hippie, the death metal guitar player, the intellectual, the high school quarterback and everyone in between. I have to look only in front of me to recognize the parallels to Lawrence. "Keep Austin Weird," proclaim several bumper stickers on passing vehicles. The Spiderhouse, a locally owned coffee shop/bar/music venue, looks like Java Break's big brother with its regular clientele and creative decor. I hesitate to introduce the cliché where the small town kid travels to the big city and learns a lesson in between, but it's hard for me not to draw from my experience in Lawrence during my exciting, albeit brief, stay here. Lawrence, like Austin, provides a haven for all interests, and sometimes I take that for granted throughout the rigidity of the semester. THAT GUY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE Until recently, I rarely recalled the initial optimism and excitement that the first year of college inevitably brought me. If it wasn't for a trip to this big city full of back alleys, country radio (Texas' Web site sites 11 stations) and elected officials, these things might have still been dormant in my current perspective. Indeed, when the semester's workload becomes a burden, it's hard to keep perspective on anything other than term papers and homework assignments. I'm usually not one to attribute my experiences with a concrete or symbolic explanation. But if there's one thing I've been reminded of during my stay here, it's to not take for granted my time at the University of Kansas. I attend a nationally known University in the heart of one of the most popular college towns in the country. There's a great academic and athletic reputation here, which can turn the town into the spotlight of the Midwest on a Tuesday night basketball game or it came become a laid-back destination for an afternoon study session. Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." These "things" are different for each student, but perhaps a good start is a trip to Austin. Boultinghouse is a Girard sophomore in journalism and history. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Show your support: Stay for both halves Students talk about the football players fighting and making our school look bad. Well why does this not go both ways? Local newspapers are beginning to pick up on it. Tully Corcoran, KU beat writer for the Topeka-Capital Journal, wrote on his Twitter, "KU's football players are 'disappointed,' a little irritated at fans that leave early, especially You're watching a then- undefeated Top 25 football team play a close game at halftime on homecoming and half of you leave early? What a joke. I hope that the students that leave early know they are embarrassing their school. I can't begin to express how disappointed I am in the KU student section at football games. First the sun was too hot, and now the excuse has turned to it being too cold. Couple that with the number of students ready to leave to go continue drinking and you get a pathetic excuse for a student section. in close games, especially on homecoming." Maybe getting drunk is more important than giving your Top 25 football team home field advantage. If you're going to expect the football team to represent the school well, then quit making the KU students look bad by leaving at halftime. You can bet that the football players are more than just a little irritated, but they aren't going to come out and start a war with the students, too. Maybe KU students don't know how lucky they really are. Maybe the students should spend a day with some alumni and they can hear about the days when KU football was lucky to win a couple games. — Max Vosburgh is a junior from Topeka. Do students not even realize they are witnessing the best three-year run in Kansas football history? They are getting to watch the best quarterback in school history; a person whose name will one day be etched into the ring of honor around Memorial Stadium.

Playing alongside so many new faces at any given time — nine players have played heavily in the secondary — Stuckey has performed balancing act this season. That scenario, though, can create problems in the secondary. "Coach tells us just to do our job and then when the opportunity comes,do something special." JUSTIN THORNTON Senior safety One part of Stuckey is the player who knows that no individual single-handedly wins a football game, especially on defense. But there's also a part of Stuckey that wants to make every play for a defense that is still finding its place. said. "When your back's against the wall and your team is out there, you always want to stand up and make a play." "It still is a struggle," Stuckey where positioning is often the difference between making and not making a play. It's a lesson that teammates said Stuckey is carrying with him this season. "When you start trying to do too much, that's when you start to make mistakes," Thornton said. "Coach tells us just to do our job and then when the opportunity comes, do something special. When you try to do too much sometimes, it can hurt." Edited by Nick Gerik BECHARD (CONTINUED FROM 10A) Bechard took the challenge and was the Lewis High School boys basketball coach and volleyball coach for three years. Bechard said it wasn't an easy start, since his only previous experience in volleyball had been watching a few high school matches. "Early on it was a lot of trial by fire, and sometimes that's not always bad," Bechard said. Though Bechard said his original dream was to coach basketball, after a few years, volleyball really began to intrigue him "Boy's high school basketball coach I thought would be a great job," Beachard said. "Then I played at a community college. I thought that would be a neat place to go and coach. So I did coach basketball, and that was a really big deal, but the volleyball thing began to grow on me a bit and grabbed my attention to the point that I enjoyed it." "I feel blessed every day to come work here." RAY BECHARD Volleyball coach After his three years at Lewis High School, Bechard was hired at Barton Community College as the assistant women's basketball coach. After two years of being the assistant women's basketball coach, the head coach for the volleyball team left. Bechard took the volleyball coaching position on a trial basis. Eventually Bechard had a chance to have a more full time position on the basketball side, but by that time Bechard decided that volleyball was what he really wanted to do. Beachard spent 13 years at Barton Community College and posted a 716-60 record. His team also placed in the top five of the NJCAA Volleyball Tournament 12 of his years coaching. After his successful run at Barton, Bechard started interviewing at a few different schools, but he said he wanted to be the coach at Kansas. "I was a big jayhawk fan growing up and always thought this would be a great place" Bechard said. would be a great place," Bechard said. "This was my dream job. I was offered the job on a Wednesday and got here on the following Monday." Bechard inherited a program that was coming off a 9-24 season in 1997 and had not seen a winning season in five years. "I knew it was going to be a tall task and that there was a lot of work to do." Bechard said. "It's been a lot of work in a great league." Bechard helped get Kansas back on track and took it to three straight NCAA volleyball tournaments from 2003 to 2005, its first-ever NCAA volleyball tournaments. Bechard said he still enjoys coaching and hopes to be able to coach for many years to come. "I feel blessed every day to come to work here," Bechard said.

It's the second-to-last tournament before the players put their clubs away for the winter. The Jayhawks, coming off a three-week break with no competitive golf, seemed rusty with a 305-stroke total in the first round Monday. Then, in the second round, the Jayhawks recovered and shot a 293 to jump up from fifth place to fourth place. This gives Kansas the chance to pull off another top-three finish this season. Nebraska is in third place, ahead of Kansas by one stroke. Wichita State is in second place and ahead of the Jayhawks by six strokes. Central Arkansas is running away with the lead, ahead of Kansas by 16 strokes. With Central Arkansas out of reach, Coach Kit Grove's biggest goal is to beat the Big 12 rival ahead. "We absolutely have to beat Nebraska in my mind," Grove said. Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, led the jayhawks with a ALEXANDER HARRIS two-round total of 147 strokes, but he struggled early in the day. "Nate had four three-puts this morning, which is very uncharacteristic of him." Grove said. Barbee improved on his morning performance of a 76 with a 71 in the afternoon. "I putted a little better in the second round, but I still have some issues on the green." Barbee said. Grove attributed the team's "poor" start to just the last few holes of the morning. Freshman Alex Gutesha chips the ball onto the green during the Kansas Invitational at the Alvamar Golf Course, which was held Sept. 28 to 29. The Jawahks play the final round of The Bill Ross Intercollegiate today in fourth place, one stroke behind Nebraska. "We were on pace to finish with a nice 295 score or so, but then everyone blew up down the stretch," Grove said. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO The team has been able to stay away from those blow-up scores at the ends of rounds in the last few tournaments, but Grove said the team is not completely immune to it. Five players compete in the tournament but only the best four scores count toward the team's total. On Monday, walk-on Jeff Bell, Wichita freshman, shot the high round and his score didn't count. However, Bell rebounded in the second round and tied for the best store on the team, a 71. "I was really proud of Jeff today." Grove said. Alex Gutesha, Greenwood Village, Colo., freshman, was right behind Barbeha with a total of 149. He said he would like to beat Nebraska, but didn't want to stop with that. "We're only a stroke behind Nebraska, so I'm not worried about them," Gutesha said. "I want us to beat Wichita State, and if we all play like we're capable of playing, we'll pass them." Edited by Sarah Kelly CRIME Player stabbed to death at dance BY PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS Connecticut's Jasper Howard leaps in the air while covering Louisville Chishler during the last seconds of a NCAA game in East Hartford, Conn., on Saturday. HOWD died Sunday following an on-campus stabbing, hours after the team's victory over Louisville. STORRS, Conn. — Less than 12 hours after celebrating his team's homecoming victory over Louisville, Connecticut football coach Randy Edsall was at a hospital identifying the body of one of the game's star players. 6 The day after Iasper Howard, 20, of Miami, was stabbed to death in a fight following an on-campus, university sanctioned dance, police Monday continued to interview those attending the dance in search for possible witnesses. Investigators had not identified a suspect or released the name of a second stabbing victim, who was treated and released from a local hospital. Edsall said he and the team were heartbroken and devastated over the loss of Howard, a junior and the team's starting cornerback who came to the school to get away from the violence on the streets of his hometown. He was the first person in his family to go to college. "I know Jasper loved the University of Connecticut and he loved his teammates," Edsall said. "And he loved the opportunity he was getting here at UConn." UConn Police Major Ronald Blicher said this is the first homicide at the university in the more than 30 years he has been associated with the school. Blicher said Howard was stabbed during a fight between two groups that included students and non-students. The altercation broke out just after a fire alarm went off in the student center, forcing around 300 people to evacuate from a party and dance sponsored by the school's West Indian Awareness Organization. Authorities wouldn't say if any other athletes were involved. Police cordoned off the crime scene near the university's Gampel Pavilion basketball arena for much of the day. "Certainly not all 300 saw this event," Blicher said. "We have been actively interviewing people through the night and day, and we continue to seek anybody who might have information." Police were trying to determine if the alarm and the fight were related. About 40 university and state police officers were working on the case. The university community was sent messages warning them to be cautious, but Blicher said officials don't believe anyone else is in danger and that the stabbing did not appear premeditated. "The university does not have an individual walking around just 'tabbing people,' Blicher said. Howard's death was especially tragic, because he was about to become a father. Edsall said. Neither police nor the university provided any additional information about the expectant mother, whom Edsall identified as Howard's girlfriend. The coach gathered his team at its training facility at 6 a.m. to deliver the news. Howard and the other student who was stabbed were taken to Windham Community Memorial Hospital, where the surviving student was treated and released. Howard was later airlifted to Saint reduce.reuse RECYCLE www.recycle.ku.edu Edsall drove to the hospital Sunday morning and was asked to identify Howard's body.

William A. Ward FACT OF THE DAY NCAA.ora Just two volleyball head coaches have 1,000 career NCAA victories. Q: What has been the volleyball's best finish under Bechard? TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: In 2003, the team finished 22-11 for a .667 winning percentage and tied for third in the Big 12 at 13-7. Kansas Athletics Texas &M coach Mike Sherman said his team had a great week of practice going into last Saturday's game against Kansas State. FOOTBALL NOTES Aggies' practices belie their performance So the 66-14 lashing they took at the hands of the Wildcats was very surprising. He said his opinions of the game didn't change after he watched the tape Sunday. "We just didn't block and tackle or throw and catch real well," Sherman said in the conference's weekly teleconference Monday. "The fundamentals of football were not demonstrated on a consistent basis that would allow us an opportunity to win that football name" Sherman said that they addressed the issue in Monday morning's practice and would address it again later in the afternoon. "This week is going to be a hard week for them as far as getting them on track," Sherman said. Sherman also said that the margin of defeat did play a factor in his opinions of the loss. "The score of the game weighs heavily on them, as it does me, as it does all Aggies," Sherman said. He also suggested that he would likely make some personnel changes this week, but noted that it wasn't one or two players who caused the Aggie problems. "All of us had a hand in it," Sherman said. Clark Goble BIG 12 FOOTBALL McCoy will play Missouri despite injured thumb AUSTIN, Texas — Texas quarterback Colt McCoy says he plans to play Saturday against Missouri, despite a bruised right thumb that will likely lose its nail. McCoy hurt his throwing hand in the second quarter of the 16-13 victory Saturday over No. 25 Oklahoma. He struggled through one of the worst passing games of his career, completing 21 of 40 for 127 yards with one touchdown and one interception Team trainers checked out the thumb to make sure there wasn't more significant damage. "It's sore but it's not going to keep me out," McCoy said. "It's football." McCoy had limited range of movement with the thumb Monday. No. 3 Texas (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) didn't practice, giving him an extra day's rest before he needed to throw again. Although the nail didn't look discolored, McCoy says he's been told it will fall out. McCoy had a few passes look wobbly and misfired on others in the second quarter against Oklahoma. The thumb didn't seem to bother him on a third-quarter touchdown pass to Marquise Goodwin. Associated Press Silver lining seen in loss to Colorado MORNING BREW It's hard to find solace in Kansas' loss to Colorado. The offense stagnated at inopportune times, and the defense remained far too porous. And again, this was against Colorado. Even with three losses and — definitely — a backup quarterback, Oklahoma is still Oklahoma. The rest of Kansas' conference schedule is hardly any easier. By all initial appearances, Saturday's game in Boulder looks to be the type of cloud with no silver lining. But that's just the game itself. The postgame is a different matter altogether. After Todd Reesing's lob to Dezmon Briscoe hit the turf and the clock showed all zeroes, Colorado fans poured out of the stands. They swarmed their players, leaping and shouting and celebrating like they had just beaten someone important someone good. And that's your silver lining. Colorado fans were positively elated to have beaten Kansas. Now stop and think about that for a moment. Really reflect on how utterly ridiculous this BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@k12.learn.nyc scenario would have seemed just 10 years ago. Colorado won a national championship in 1990. It has a Heisman trophy winner -- yeah, it's Rashaan Salaam, but it's a big deal nonetheless. It's won the Big 12 North four times, and the conference outright once. No, Colorado doesn't have the football history of, say, Nebraska or Oklahoma. And granted, Colorado football has fallen pretty far from the heights it once occupied. But the fact is, Colorado football has its fair share of gridiron tradition. It also has a passionate and proud fan base, which is decidedly aware of said tradition. And that fan base thought that Colorado beating Kansas was a field-storming occasion. and the program in general. Climbing further in the rankings grants increased levels of notoriety, credibility, better television exposure, etc. A win also would have given Kansas sole possession of first place in the Big 12 North — a title currently held by Kansas State, to everyone's surprise. Sure, a Kansas victory would have been better for the team. But Kansas didn't win. So, backhanded though it may be, the Jayhawks will have to temporarily settle for the compliment paid them by Colorado fans. Even in defeat, Kerry Meier found a way to put up his usually gaudy numbers against Colorado. Eleven catches for 103 yards and a score? Yeah, that sounds about normal. Of course, the numbers Meier is putting up — especially over the last three weeks — are anything but normal. On the year, Meier has 54 catches, 580 yards and six touchdowns. All spectacular. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, KERRY MEIER THE MORNING BREW Freddie Barnes. Barnes, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior from Chicago, grabbed 10 balls for 160 yard and three touchdowns last week. Kind of an off day, by his standards. The previous week, Barnes caught 22 passes for 278 yards. His season totals, frankly, look impossible: 85 catches, 882 yards, eight touchdowns. Unless, of course, you're Bowling Green wide receiver Impossible, unless you're Riverside-Brookfield High senior Mark McDonagh. McDonagh, eight games into his final high school campaign, has 143 catches (already a single-season high school record), 1,373 yards, and eight touchdowns. But perhaps the most shocking stat of all? He has zero scholarship offers.

LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams got good news on wide receiver Donnie Avery, who underwent an MRI exam on his hip that revealed a bruise. They can't afford to lose any more players at a position that's been thin since training camp. Avery's injury early in Sundays 23-20 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars deprived the winless Rams of their only player able to stretch the field. Without him, the running game got shut down, especially in the second half, and the untested wide receivers the Rams had left weren't able to make enough plays. "Every week is tough," quarterback Marc Bulger said. "I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that this one is a little bit tougher. It'll be even tougher when you watch the film and see the opportunities we left on the field." The Jaguars eventually wore down the Rams' defense, which protected a slim lead until the fourth quarter. Jacksonville had the ball for 22:45 in the second half, and ran 84 plays to only 53 for St Louis. Associated Press "Even though they were fighting their butts off the whole time it's hard to play that many plays and hold up at the end of the game," Spagnuolo said Monday. That overwhelming advantage in ball control was just enough to saddle the Rams with their 16th straight loss, the longest in the NFL. They almost ended the slump. Almost. Holt, a seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver in 10 seasons, in the offseason and he had five catches for 101 yards against his old team while also drawing two pass interference calls against Ron Bartell. The 100-yard game was Holt's first since Dec. 2, 2007. The decision to release Holt left the Rams lean at wide receiver entering training camp, with Avery coming off a nice rookie season and others with plenty to prove. Laurent Robinson was the team leader early in the season before a broken leg and ankle injuries landed him on injured reserve after three games. After Avery was hurt in the first quarter, among Bulger's targets were Tim Carter and Danny Amendola — the former re-signed only last Monday and the latter with the team only three weeks. "That's absolutely terrible," Holt said. "That's not all my fault. You can't say that all my fault." hed structure the roster the same way, with emphasis on the defensive line and fewer wide receivers. The Rams have dressed four wideouts all season, and if they have to go without Avery against the unbeaten Colts on Sunday, the coach said the next player on the list would simply have to step up. Given a do-over, Spagnuolo said "There are teams that are deeper than others," Bulger said. "We're a young team and ask a lot out of our younger guys." Spagnuolo refused to second guess his decision to go for a tying field goal with 7 seconds left instead of taking one more shot from the Jacksonville 9, leaning on research from the other NFL teams he's coached for. He had a good feeling about the offense after the tying drive, if only the Rams could win the coin flip. Bartell called tails, it came up heads and the Rams never got the ball back as the Jaguars drove for the winning field goal. 785-841-5000 1445 W 23rd St OPEN LATE • FAST DELIVERY Mon-Wed: 10-2am, Thurs-Sat: 11-2:30am, Sundays till 12am GUMBYS Pizza Gumby's Solo Small 1-topping pizza OR Small Pokey Stix with Can of Soda $7.99 1 Large 1-topping Pizza 1 Large Pokey Stix 6 Pepperoni Rolls 10 Wings FREE 2 Liter $29.99 Rock n' Roll Wednesday 50 cent Pepperoni Rolls valid Wednesday with purchase of 2 Liters Large 1-topping Pizza Large Pokey Stix 6 Pepperoni Rolls 1 Item = $8.99, 2 Items = $19.99, 3 Items = $27.99 Wacky Weekdays valid Sunday - Thursday Spend $20 or more and receive a FREE GUMBY'S PIZZA!

STEADY IN THE SECONDARY PAGE 10A 62 25 Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior strong safety Darrell Stuckey lays a hit on Northern Colorado quaterback Bryan Waggener on Sept. 5. Stuckey has recorded 50 tackles in six games this season and is the only secondary to play the same position all season. Stuckey anchors shuffled defense Safety Darrell Stuckey leads evolving group of defensive backs BY JAYSON JENKS jienks@kansan.com Senior safety Darrell Stuckey is the last man standing. He's played alongside freshmen and seniors, Orange Bowl veterans and newcomers as green as can be. He's been on a defense this year that has shut down an explosive UTEP offense one week and then surrendered 36 points against Iowa State a month later. And most important is this: Stuckey is the only member of Kansas' secondary to remain at the same position throughout each of the season's first six games. t Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter. com/JaysonJenks "I have to work to not put pressure on myself," Stuckey said. "It comes with being a defensive captain and being a defensive leader. You have to know what you need to do every single game and not feel like you're the only person out there. You don't need to make up for someone else's inexperience. When you do that, you end up not doing enough." After Kansas' defense struggled against Iowa State on Oct. 10, coach Mark Mangino vowed that changes of some degree could be on the horizon. For the secondary, those changes came on Saturday against Colorado. Redshirt freshman Lubbock Smith made his first start alongside Stuckey at safety and was the third player to fill that role this season. Freshman cornerback DJ Beshears played in his first collegiate game when he replaced sophomore Daymond Patterson after Kansas' first defensive series. Junior Chris Harris opened the season at nickel back, the fifth defensive back, before moving to cornerback. And senior Justin Thornton played at every spot in the secondary at some point this year. Those moves are only the latest changes in what has already been reshuffled secondary. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Davis started the season at cornerback but hasn't started since that first game. "I told our defense for the last couple weeks that we were going "make changes," Mangino said. "I think they realize now that were going to make changes." Yet through all the position switches and personnel moves, mained the backbone of Kansas' defense. An All-Big 12 First Team selection last year as a junior. Stuckey found his name plastered across award watch lists before this season. But without many opportunities to make plays — defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said of fenses tended to stay away from Stuckey — he hasn't delivered the "wow" moment most people have come to expect from him as Kansas' biggest defensive playmaker. "You have to know what you need to do every single game and not feel like you're the only person out there." "At the beginning of the season the ball wasn't thrown toward me at all." Stuckey said. "They wouldn't even come into the boundary. I felt DARRELL STUCKEY Senior safety like I was useless, and that's when I really got frustrated with not making plays and helping my team." During Kansas' 34-30 loss to Colorado, Stuckey made 12 tackles and recorded his first interception of the season. He is Kansas' second-leading tackler with 50 tops. In the week leading up to the Colorado game, though, Stuckey bluntly said that he needed to play better.

"Today it should be about our team playing extremely well on the road and doing a lot of things we feel we are capable of doing." "I think it was May or June before I was supposed to start in August, and the superintendent called and said, 'Hey we really need a volleyball coach.' Bechard said.

These goals typi- glitter these goals typically include having a third-down conversion rate higher than 60 percent, rushing for 100 yards and throwing for more than 250 yards. A goal that sets the tone of the game, though, is one that has not often been met this season: scoring on the first drive of a game. In the first six games of this season, the Kansas offense has scored on its first drive just three times, and failed to against the two Big 12 opponents. Against Iowa State it took two tries, in Colorado it took three. Now one might say that this goal is asking too much for a team to do week after week, but the purpose of a goal is to challenge, to bring out the best in anybody. Opurum's touchdown on the second drive against Iowa State doesn't look that bad on a stat sheet, but the experience in the stadium told a whole different story. The goals I mentioned mean a lot to a team that is very proud of its offense. With possibly the best receiving duo in the Big 12, Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe, and a Heisman-watch quarterback, Todd Reesing, the Kansas offense sets the bar high and usually rises to meet those goals. Yet in order for Kansas to win these challenging Big 12 games, the fireworks need to start right as the opening kickoff takes flight. The Colorado game Saturday really showed the importance of getting off to a good start. A sense of urgency never hit the Kansas offense until it looked up at the score board, behind 24-3, with 2:24 left in the first half. A slow start like this in the future will bring more results like the one we saw Saturday. The confidence that opposing teams gain as they see the high-powered Kansas offense stall carries throughout the game and results in a much tougher battle than anybody might have expected. Edited by Jacob Muselmann This confidence could be felt all over Folsom Field in Boulder Saturday while silent Kansas fans withdrew their spirit in the corner of the stands until the second half. But because of the confidence gained in the first half, the Colorado offense was able to put one last touchdown on the board in the fourth quarter, which was enough to give Kansas its first loss. Iowa State did score on its first drive, as did Duke a couple weeks earlier, which brought the crowd and team out of the recurring fog that has also held back Kansas several times this season. When a crowd sees the away team score first, it usually instills some fear that the game might not go the way they want it to. That fear of taking the audience out of the game is why the goal of scoring on the first drive is so important.

Hidden containers called geocaches, or caches, bear unknown secrets such as logbooks, objects for trade or more clues to continue the chase on to the next mysterious location.

On May 2, 2000, the government removed the selective availability on its satellites, making them available to anyone wanting to pinpoint an exact location. "The first time I tried geocaching, my GPS said the cache was in the middle of a large lake." Bickford said. "I eventually found it hidden in a rock wall.

Jurors debate about sentencing man to death SALT LAKE CITY — Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has requested an investigation into last-minute changes the Bush administration made to speed up oil-ship development in the Rocky Mountains. CHICAGO Jurors are deciding whether a man convicted of killing seven employees at a suburban Chicago restaurant in 1993 should be sent to death row. Before the case was turned over to jurors on Tuesday, defense attorney Mark Levitt asked them to spare the life of James Degorski. He says a life sentence for Degorski would be punishment enough. Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Tom Biesty says Degorski does not deserve the jury's mercy because he didn't show it to those he shot and stabbed at the Brown's Chicken and Pasta restaurant in Palatine. Degorski's co-defendant, Juan Luna, was convicted of murder in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison after one juror held out and refused to vote in favor of the death penalty. 5. Secretary demands oil royalties investigation Salazar says he's asking his department's inspector general, Mary Kendall, to look into the changes. Salazar says that in the final days of the Bush administration, the Interior Department locked in a bargain royalty rate on 30,000 acres of existing oil-shale leases for oil companies. In addition, Salazar said Tuesday he was opening a second, more environmentally sensitive round of oil-shale leasing for Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. 6.

ABE & JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET LAWRENCE, KS LANDING ... --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2009 NEWS 3A GPS GPS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The next day, Dave Chinner ventured into the woods of Beaver Creek, Ore., with a black bucket containing a logbook, pencil and various prize items: videos, books, software and a sling-shot. He shared the coordinates of his stash online with the simple rule: "take some stuff, leave some stuff." Nearly a decade later, Geocaching has become an obsession for more than 2.5 million treasure hunters. Worldwide, there are 924,213 active caches and 727 in Lawrence, according to Geocaching.com. Larry Robinson, an Olathe geocacher, said he became a hooked geocatcher after receiving a GPS device for Father's Day in 2005. "I have been to many places I would not have seen it not for geocaching," he said. "I have been in caves, castles and on top of mountains. There is no end to the rich diversity of places I have seen." Geocaching encourages people from all age groups to wander onto the serene scene of nature, disturbing an otherwise unknown location. Respect and support for the environment are strongly emphasized."Cache In Trash Out" is a worldwide clean-up effort sponsored by geocaching designed to preserve the environment. The impact of this high-tech treasure hunt is personalized for each cacher. A new appreciation for the outdoors, Bickford said, was his greatest benefit. For Robinson, it has been a life-changing experience. He has lost more than 100 pounds since he started participating. "Geocaching has changed my life," Robinson said. "It helped me make some very healthy choices in my lifestyle,brought me some lifelong friends and helped me to see the world in ways I never would have otherwise" GEOCACHING: A HOW-TO To start, register for free at Geocaching.com, search your postal code, and select a cache to find that fits your goals, considering distance, difficulty, and time (especially close to sunset). Enter the GPS coordinates and begin the hunt for your cache. Once found, sign the logbook and return the cache to its original location. If you take something, leave something of equal value for the next visitor to find. All age groups are encouraged to participate and the search can be solo or as a group. Share your adventures and photos with other cachers online. However, Olathe geochacher, Larry Robinson, offers a word of caution. "I would most definitely recommend this activity, but I will warn anyone taking it up that it is addictive and once you start if you really get into it you will never be the same afterwards." "You kind of feel like you're part of some secret network of people." DANA ATWOOD-BLAINE Graduate student Dana Atwood-Blaine, Ada, Okla., graduate student, researches ways to use GPS in K-12 education. She said geocaching has allowed her to become more confident, persistent and able to spend more quality time with her husband and 8-year-old son. "Our whole family gets to whole family gets to spend time together", Atwood-Blaire said. "It's exciting and fun, and you learn a lot. You kind of feel like you're part of some secret network of people. It's a sneaky, fun feeling." Bickford plans to continue the adventure of hiding and seek. treasures into the future. The alluring activity has him hooked sharing activity has hint looked. "It's like hiking but there's always a surprise ending."

Michael Gillaspie, Ashland senior and former student body vice president, helped organize the event, which he said was spurred by "a real need for safety awareness programs on campus," according to students who spoke with student senators. Students participate in a self-defense class at Robinson Center Tuesday. More than 300 women attended the course. He added that education was just as important as security in helping to prevent crimes. Howard Tina/KANSAN Annie McKay, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said self-defense classes were a "piece of the puzzle" in preventing sexual assault. She said she advocated women taking classes as a way to arm themselves and feel more empowered. She also said women should arm themselves with knowledge about sexual assault resources available in the community and should be aware of the fact that 85 percent of sexual assaults are committed by people known by the victim. "Women should know it's not just about defending themselves physically," McKay said. "They have to think, "There's things I have to do to help prevent getting in that situation." McKay said these things included being aware of surroundings, trusting one's gut in potentially harmful situations, not letting one's guard down when students know people and learning the resources available for getting more information. Just before the TAKE class began, Burgardt echoed McKay's advice, saying she planned to use the class as the first step to a "complete package" of safety awareness. "Just learning self-defense isn't enough to prevent something bad from happening," Burgardt said. "You have to know what's going on around you." NATIONAL — Edited by Tim Burgess University of Illinois chancellor resigns BY VID MERCER Associated Press Associated Press CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — University of Illinois Chancellor Richard Herman resigned Tuesday following months of pressure over special attention the school paid to politically connected applicants at its Urbana-Champaign campus and news that some were admitted over more qualified students. faculty and staff, and its smart and ambitious students, and I plan to continue to contribute to ensuring the bright future of the University "Ours is a great institution with its brilliant and hardworking In a resignation letter to the board of trustees that oversees the university's three campuses, Herman called his time at the school an honor. of Illinois", Herman wrote. "Thank you for the honor to serve the University. I have enjoyed every minute, in fact, every nanosecond." J. A. R. His resig Herman nation from the $400,000-a-year chancellor's job is effective Monday. The 68-year-old Herman will remain with the central Illinois school as a tenured math professor, the university said, earning $244 000 a year. The Faculty Senate last month called for Herman, who is in charge of the Urbana-Champaign campus, and university President B. Joseph White — chief executive of all three Illinois campuses — to step down amid the admissions scandal. White plans to leave his post in December. Board chairman Christopher Kennedy said Tuesday that Herman's replacement will have to have a strong focus on attracting good faculty and on science and research. "Richard had a sense of that, which was evident in areas where he put a lot of focus, like the (Institute for Genomic Biology)," Kennedy said, referring to the on-campus research center that opened in 2003. "The more you talk about Richard, the more impressive he is," Kennedy said. "It'll be a challenge to find somebody." The board's executive committee will meet Friday to act on Herman's resignation and new employment contract. Gov. Pat Quinn, who created a commission to examine the admissions troubles at the university, said Tuesday it was best that Herman resigned. in in the spotlight! wtf (we tweet faster!)

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: MIGHT IT BE FAIR TO SAY THAT EVERY PHLEBOTOMIST SPENDS A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN VEIN? Today's Cryptoquip Clue: T equals M Dan Glickman, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, said Monday he will leave the post when his contract expires next September. The position mixes the glamour of hobnobbing with Hollywood celebrities with the nitty gritty of issues important to studios like protecting films from unauthorized distribution on the Internet. "It's more nuts and bolts and hard work than it's glamour." Glickman, who turns 65 next month, said in an interview. "To be honest with you, people have come up to me since I’ve gotten the job and said, 'You have the greatest job in the world.' And I think they think that Angelina Jolie goes home with me every night. Which she doesn’t, by the way, I mean, I would like it if she did," he joked. Glickman earned more than $1.2 million in 2007, the latest year for which tax documents are available. He took the post in 2004, succeeding the colorful Jack Valenti, who had been Hollywood's chief representative in Washington since 1966. Glickman, a low-key former Agriculture Department secretary and Democratic congressman from Kansas, has kept a lower profile than Valenti, who has a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. He died in 2007. The movie industry's issues have become more complicated in recent years as Hollywood tries adjusting to complications the online world has caused for film distribution. The amiable Glickman was not without his detractors. Though the industry won aid in last year's economic bailout legislation that the association says is worth more than $400 million, Glickman came under fire early this year when the Senate voted to strip a provision from the economic stimulus bill that would have been worth $246 million to Hollywood in tax breaks. "I think there was some responsibility to go around, and I don't like that we didn't have it in there," he said of the thwarted tax write-off. "But the issue is not dead." Associated Press I 1.

Though they have never met, each one now regards the other as his mortal enemy. They inch slowly toward each other, their twitching hands held close to their holsters, ready for conflict. They avoid eye contact for as long as possible, but before long their eyes meet. They are now perilously close. Beads of sweat roll down their foreheads. Their throats dry up. A family of tumbleweeds blows past. A decision must be made by someone, anyone, if disaster is to be avoided. It may sound like a scene from the "Wild West Wild" once senaded by Mr. William Smith. But it happens today, every day, much closer to home. Yes, substitute dust with cigarette smoke, holsters with iPod cases and families of tumbleweeds with visiting tour groups, and you've got an example of the terrible inhumanity that happens hundreds of times each day on this very campus: People walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk The concept seems simple enough — Just like on the road, traffic should flow forward on the right side of the path. There may OLS ALEX NICHOLS UNDER OBSERVATION When that rule is broken, what results is a game of chicken neither person wants to play. Is he going to move? Should I just move now? What if we both move at the same time? The tension builds to unbearable heights and you become frozen, your mind paralyzed in panic as your legs continue onward, oblivious to the ensuing collision because legs don't have eyes. When you finally move at the last second, you and the stranger participate in a less-sexy version of the "Lambada," twirling and dipping around each other in a desperate attempt to avoid impact. Though decidedly unsexy, this maneuver should be no less forbidden than the dance that impregnated the world in the late 1980s. There are only three possible outcomes of this awkward exercise in mental jousting, and none of them are good: If you don't crash into each other, you either veer into the other lane of oncoming foot traffic or off into the grass, which over time can cause erosion. Erosion, people! Something must be done. Perhaps we should erect signs along the sidewalk reminding us to keep to the right under penalty ... of DEATH. Or perhaps we should put one of those invisible walls down the middle of the sidewalk and issue dog collars that will give students a little shock if they wander onto the wrong side. Or, in a move that everyone would love, maybe we should replace all the sidewalks with moving walkways like they have at the airport. Those things are fun! But until we get the funding for any of those surefire solutions, we just need to stop subscribing to the philosophy of the dueling bandits of the old west and realize that this sidewalk is, in fact, big enough for the both of us. Nichols is a Stilwell junior in creative writing. Dr. Robert A. Williams, MD A [Drawing of a man in a suit with an open book behind him, featuring American flag symbols.] I'm Martin Chalfie. I was awarded a Nobel because helped discover and develop the green fluorescent protein to make biosensors. I'm Barack Obama. I was awarded a Nobel because I wrote a book or two and made some snazzy speeches Science Nobel Prizes overlooked JAMES FARMER Just a few weeks ago, the greatest scientists from around the world were honored with Nobel Prizes. Top among these were many Americans whose brilliant minds have been devoted to arduous research for decades. Their work has been transformed into a slew of new advancements in medicine and technology, forever changing the landscape of human accomplishment and providing the next generation of scientists with an ever-rising foundation of knowledge. The Americans' ennui toward the scientific Nobel Prizes is ironic. The three scientists sharing the Nobel Prize in medicine are Americans. Two of the three winners of the Nobel Prize in physics are Americans, and so is one of the three honored with the Nobel Prize in chemistry. If the Nobel Prizes were the Olympics, these scientists would be on the cover of Newsweek with their awards around their necks. But the only press coverage of these awards was of President Barack Obama's reception of the Nobel Peace Prize. America just seems to not care about science. However, this event in commemorating the collective achievement of our entire civilization was met with indifference and ignorance by the American public. Think of some famous scientists you know. You may be able SAI THE SCIENCE GUY SAI FOLMSBEE to name a few, such as Einsteinn, Newton or Galileo. But if I were to ask you to name a famous living scientist, what would you say? The only scientists we know are from our public education; they are simple relics of long-past eras when scientific advancement was the crowning apex of human achievement. This disregard for the significance of science has had devastating effects nationally. There is a growing shortage of certified science and math teachers in public schools. Scientific illiteracy is rampant, as shown by a 2008 survey by the California Academy of Sciences. This study showed that 41 percent of people surveyed thought humans and dinosaurs coexisted in prehistoric time, and Today in popular culture, scientists are portrayed as either socially irrelevant or morally antagonistic. A scientist is either the bumbling, inept man who is a genius in a lab but a dolt in a bar, or the arrogant, heartless villain who disregards ethics in favor of science. Our generation has no scientific heroes and only poor scientific stereotypes. 53 percent did not know how long it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun (for the half of you reading that don't know, it's one year). The value of science needs to penetrate beyond research and medicine. Science has a tremendous value to influence the everyday lives of everyone. The food you eat, the car you drive, the computer you use and the medicine you take are all products of a man or woman working to improve your quality of life. We need to celebrate our modern-day scientific heroes who earned their Nobel Prizes and work to inspire a new generation of scientists. But it is all too easy to blame the media and the public. The issue of the scientific neutering of America is much more complicated. The nature of scientific progress itself is partially responsible. Our recent discoveries have leapfrogged the general scientific knowledge easily accessible to the public. We have achieved so much in understanding the universe, atoms and our own biology that the most important research has become increasingly specialized and esoteric. How can we expect the average American to understand the enormous impact of a green fluorescent protein? Folmshee is a Topeka senior in neurobiology. POLITICS Can Obama justify Nobel Prize win? I woke up a few weeks ago and turned on my laptop to check the weather. This is not exactly an unusual event. Having grown up in Kansas, I know the value of making sure that if I dress for 50-degree weather, it isn't expected to jump up to 75 degrees within a few hours (for those of you who came out from state, this happens). While making sure that I needed to wear a coat — and that plagues of locusts weren't expected to descend upon Lawrence before I was done with class — I noticed a headline that, quite frankly, I wasn't sure what to make of: "President Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize." My thoughts: "Wait, what? Um ... cool? Yeah, cool, I can see this." My assumption was immediately that President Barack Obama had been given the award on the basis of his encouraging of increased peaceful international dialogue, particularly on the part of the country he'd just assumed leadership of. It turns out I was right on this. Not a surprise, since at the time nominations for the prize were due — early February — he had only been president for a week or so. The panel that selects Nobel laureates cited Obama's "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." This meant two things. First, I totally called it. Second, he was given the award for fostering a mindset through words, and not for any sort of policy or program, as many winners have. The fact that Obama was given the award based on provoking a mood, and not for any larger action, has provoked a great deal of criticism from, well, people who were already criticizing him. The general complaint was that he was getting a major award for not doing anything. To clarify, Alfred Nobel wrote LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BEN COHEN The first and third criteria were obviously what the selection committee applied to Obama, especially before he was inaugurated and didn't hold much power to reduce any standing armies. Although it hasn't actually happened yet, Obama has been hung up on resolving America's obligations in post-liberation Afghanistan and Iraq, so give it a little while. in his will that winners of the peace prize "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." All this being said, I was still fairly surprised by the win. According to one of his acceptance speeches, so was the president. But despite the seeming randomness and the feeling that there are bigger things Obama could accomplish that would be more substantive than encouraging a mindset through good speech-making and tact with foreign leaders, his win is not as bad as some conservatives have made it out to be. A sitting American president has been given a highly regarded prize for support of international peace. Maybe — and hopefully — Obama will accomplish bigger things that will make the Nobel selection committee wish they'd waited a few years — maybe not. In the meantime, let's enjoy the recognition and get on with things. Cohen is a Topeka senior in political science. Challenging society LETTERTO THE EDITOR It's sad how every individual who enters and exits my life grows into the epitome of what a typical human being is. Why has society bought into this delusion? Because peoples' eyes are closed; they have surrendered every shred of logic to the said biases above. They find themselves incapable of breaking free from the peer pressures of this media-tainted society. It's the same thing time and time again. Humans giving in to their humanistic biases — greed, hate and naivety. People influenced by the nonsensical propaganda of the media, the media that sets unrealistic standards of how thin one should be or the unreasonable belief that one has to be in possession of a college degree to succeed in life. I already know two many people who come to college because of this. It continually demeans the value of knowledge. And it is for that reason that I urge you to take a moment and ask yourself that one proverbial question: What truly matters in life? Forget what society has taught you, and for once in your life take a chance and believe in your own cognition. Disregard the delusion thrust upon you and consider the reality of the moment, of the future. Consider one shred of logic that I have found universally true: There are no absolutes. Getting a college degree does not mean that you will indefinitely succeed in life; being thin doesn't guarantee you a good self-image. I dare challenge society. I dare ask the questions that should not be asked. I dare color outside the lines and not in the typical "anticonformist" culture America has fostered. The question is: Do you? — lan Tan is a sophomore from Malaysia.

The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is hosting a lecture series called "The Battle for America." The series will be divided into two events. The first is tonight at the Dole Institute on West Campus at 7:30 p.m. The second is next Wednesday night, Oct. 28. Tonight's event brings Dan Balz, national political reporter for the Washington Post and co-author of the book "The Battle for America 2008," from which the lecture series Balz takes its name. He will be examining the inner workings of the major campaigns in last year's presidential election. Amanda Applegate, Wichita senior, is the coordinator of the student advisory board for the Dole Institute. Though a pharmacy major, she said she found the inner workings of these campaigns fascinating. t Follow Zach White at twitter.com/zachandthenews. "There are just so many different aspects you wouldn't think about on a day-to-day basis." Applegate said. "To get that perspective from someone that's really been on the inside of these campaigns will be really interesting." Tonight's lecture will focus on the content of Balz's book, the primary race leading up to the general election. Balz will answer questions about his experience following candidates and their staffs through the primaries and conventions through to the election last November. At the next lecture the Institute will bring Susan Page, a senior political cor- director for the Dole Institute, said he appreciated new media contributions to these discussions. respondent for USA Today, and Jonathan Martin, columnist for online newspaper Politico. The two will discuss the Obama administration's performance thus far and where they see politics heading in the next few years, including the 2010 midterm election. "We want both," Earle said. "I always want to get old media and new media represented at the Dole Institute." Balz's book was the result of his collaboration with Haynes Johnson, a former Washington Post correspondent, while they both were reporting on the campaign trail. They started covering the preparations for the primaries in early 2007. He said he realized even then the importance of what he was covering. "There are just so many different aspects you wouldn't think about on a day-to-day basis." Jonathan Earle, program AMANDA APPLEGATE Wichita senior "We both believed that, no matter the outcome, this election had the potential to be one of the most important in the country's history." Balz said. insight here. He was in Lawrence in December 2006 to discuss the ramifications of that year's midterm election, in which Democrats took both houses of Congress. Balz said he was looking forward to his return. This isn't the first time Balz has offered his TECHNOLOGY University promotes student Internet safety WITH ASSISTANCE BY RAY SEGEBRECHT rsegebrecht@kansan.com Julie Fugett, KU Information Technology security analyst, informs students about cyber security Tuesday at Anschutz Library. The University is stepping up its efforts to increase students' awareness of online threats, such as phishing scams, during October. Thomas Pelegrin had already attended several seminars on cyber security. In his field of study, information systems, course instructors make cover the topic a constant priority, he said. But Polegrin, Kansas City senior, said he chose to sit in on another instruction session on computer safety yesterday — not for class, but for a more personal reason. As Internet threats continue to rise, he wants a secure environment for his two sons, ages 10 and 12. "There's software. There's malware. There's inappropriate sites," Pelegrin said. "There's just a number of Web sites that my kids could get into either intentionally or unintentionally." But breadadolescents aren't the only victims of security threats online, Julie Fugett, KU Information Technology security analyst, said. As part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month this October, the University is expanding its efforts to spread awareness about threats also growing among students. "Malware continues to evolve, to get more sneaky," Fugett said. "Now, malware will steal your keystrokes and send them off to someone to get your password. Over the past five years, its definitely evolved and gotten worse." Anh Nguyen, Saigon, Vietnam, graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, said she had tried to teach students the importance of choosing secure passwords this fall as a computer science graduate teaching assistant. She said she worried, however, that students outside her field often exposed themselves to online threats by opting for more memorable passwords at the expense of secure choices. clinique free 7-pc. gift CLINIQUE SUPER RESCUBE CLINIQUE clarifying lotion 2 CLINIQUE FLU-PRIMAL COSMETICS CLINIQUE high impact concealer CUNIQUE ELE GENERAL COSMETICS CUNIQUE ELE GENERAL COSMETICS Follow Ray Segebrecht at twitter.com/ segrecht.bre A $60 value.

"We really post a ton of userfriendly and student-friendly information," Fuget said. Fugett said phishing scams, or fraudulent messages that solicit personal information, posed the greatest current threat to students. She said students now are often faced the attacks through popular social networks such as Facebook Weaver's 9th & Massachusetts·843-6360 Fugett said though online hackers and predators continued to victimize less experienced students in new ways, the KU IT Security and Privacy offices have also expanded to newer media this October to increase awareness. "I think if the students don't study information technology, they don't know how much a hacker can attack a system," Nguyen said. "They don't know how much they can do. The hackers are really good. They have strong knowledge." The University has a new BeSeKUre Facebook page with a banner that updates students on different cyber security tips every week this month. She said the page also featured, among other information, a link to a BeSeKUre blog that various technology liaisons outside the University updated regularly with advice. and Twitter. "Even on their phones and text messaging," Fugett said. "It's everywhere." www.weaversinc.com She said despite the University's increased outreach this month to prepare students to recognize threats and protect themselves, University students still suffered from online dangers. She said when this happened, students could call a free support line for over-the-phone assistance. But if their identity, personal information or money was stolen, it was best to contact the police. Sgt. Michael Monroe with the Lawrence Police Department said local police officers received such reports from residents of the city or University every week. "The worst thing that could happen would either be identity theft or somebody accessing some of my financial information on the computer," Pelegrin said. He said as the department continued to receive more crime reports, it had also seen more success tracking down identity theft criminals from the evidence they left behind when using their stolen identities. "On Internet frauds, we have less success," Monroe said. "They're almost never in our jurisdictions. Oftentimes they're overseas." Pleejern said his greatest fear online was that he would fall victim to such a threat and place the security and livelihood of his entire family in jeopardy.

GOOD NOT GOOD ENOUGH D.BRISCOE 80 76 KANSAS 81 Senior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe celebrates a touchdown catch with a teammate. Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said his goal is for Kansas to start winning against teams such as Texas and Oklahoma instead of just coming done. PAGE 1B Kansas aims to dominate Big 12 Perkins says he wants Kansas to take next step BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com "You can't compete with those people just on the day of the game. You've got to compete year around. Maybe the people here don't want that, but let's make it known what kind of program we do want. Let's not talk about beating Nebraska and Oklahoma unless we're willing to make that kind of commitment." Former Kansas coach Don Fambrough Kansas City Star. 1982 t Follow Jayson jenks at twitter. com/JaysonJenks Lew Perkins sits with one leg gently crossed over the other, a relaxing look for a man whose job rarely slows, let alone stops. Then, as if the words rolling from his mouth require a more immediate posture, Perkins leans forward and rests his hands on the glossy table in front of him. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and Perkins' current goals forecast Kansas upsetting the Big 12's football hierarchy, sending those metaphorical crowns tumbling to the ground. It's a scenario that, if carried out, would vault the Jayhawks higher into the national spotlight. "We set goals — and these are my goals, these aren't coach's goals." Perkins said, voicing a point that must be emphasized. "We've now played Texas and Oklahoma and some of those southern schools real close and had a chance. In my opinion, our next big step is to start beating those teams. "And that's not easy. It's very, very difficult. Once we start doing that, though, that puts us at a whole other level." The dividing point — the line that separates Kansas' current position from those annual topdogs in the Big 12 — is understandably thin. Kansas went 12-1 in a breakthrough 2007 season that ended with the dethroning of perennially talented Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. But take a step back to the 2006 season — a year that more accurately reflects the brutally competitive nature of college football. Kansas finished 6-6 and missed "The one thing we can't do is get complacent. We can't say, 'OK, we're here. Everyone's happy..." "We can't say 'OK,' were here. Everyone's happy and we filling the stadium and winning games." That's why I said the thing about Texas and Oklahoma. And it's another noteworthy campaign. Kansas lost an overtime heart-breaker to Toledo, then suffered a seven-point defeat to Nebraska, a three-point defeat to Texas A&M and a one-point loss to Baylor. LEW PERKIN! Kansas Athletics Directo "The one thing we can't do is get complacent." Perkins said. not just Texas and Oklahoma. It's the best programs in the country" Yet those are tall tasks, something Perkins said he is fully aware of. The last time Kansas defeated Oklahoma? Try 1997, Terry Allen's first year as head coach. And Texas? The Jayhawks are 0-7 against the Longhorns since the Big 12's inception in 1996.

Half of the Kansas tennis team will finish the season in Norman, Okla., while the other half will finish in Lawrence. Your unassessmen — freshman Sara Lazarevic and Vika Khanevskaya and sophomores Kate Morozova and Erin Wilbert — will travel today to Norman to compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association central region tournament beginning tomorrow. At the same time, senior Kuni Dorn, junior Maria Martinez and Kate Goff and sophomore Alie Dzuba will remain in Lawrence to host the University's second and final tournament of the fall. Not everyone on the team is ready to spend their last few days apart. "It kind of sucks not being together, but that's just the way it is," said Wilbert, who went undefered in both singles and doubles at the last KU tournament Sept. 25 to 27. "It's not going to be the same without them, but we'll be reunited," she joked. Both players' concerns mainly come from the shortage of a cheering section from other team members. Wilbert said that along with the rest of the squad, she will especially miss having Dorn with her while she competes in Norman. Weston White/KANSAN This is Dorn's last individual tournament as a Jayhawk, and she said that it's really important for her to play well, especially since the tournament is at home. "I don't feel good about it, but if we need to do it, it's fine," Dorn said. "I'm kind of sad." Dorn shares Wilbert's feeling regarding the division of players. "Kuni is always the loudest cheerer. I can always feel her presence," Wilbert said, "She's our senior leader. It'll be different trying to manage without her." Many teams that will play in the Kansas tournament this weekend will be in the same situation. Players that qualified for regionals will depart for Norman, while the rest of their teams will make the trip to Lawrence. "It's not anything different because we do this every year," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "This is pretty common." She said that most tennis players get used to being alone at tournaments while growing up, and are acclimated to the idea by the time they go Still, she knows the value of togetherness and being involved to college.

But at least we can say we're on the totem pole. In Missoula, Mont., the student journalists need binoculars to see it. University of Montana football coach Bobby Hauck refuses to grant interviews to reporters from the school's newspaper, the Kaimin, after a report about an alleged assault by two Montana players was published in the campus paper last month. He has even gone as far as publicly belittling them. After a Kaimin reporter asked Hauck if he planned to continue rotating quarterbacks, Haufack fired back: "You want something from me now? You've got to be kidding me." Immediately afterwards, a reporter from the city paper got a response to the same question. If Hauck feels that the report was false or contained factual errors, I would understand his position. In that case, he would be defending his players and making a statement that he would not let his players be presented in a false light if they had done nothing wrong. According to the Kaimin, when one of their reporters asked a Montana player a question, he said he wasn't allowed to talk to the newspaper. The student athlete has the choice whether to speak to the media or not, but no players had problems talking to the student newspaper until Hauck did. Next week, similar story. A student asked how Montana's defense would stop a speedy running back. Hauck's reply? "I'll give you this, you're persistent. Who's next?" Hauck has also apparently taken it a step further. But I think Haack's current position is bogus. He needs to come forward and outline his problems with the alleged assault report. That way, the Kaimin can evaluate its position and determine how to handle the situation. The problem is that the Kaimin is claiming that their report on the alleged assault was good reporting and no false information was published. No one else has pointed out any false information. But without a rationale, Hauck is out of line. He is punishing students for good journalism 1 Hopefully Mangino never crosses that line.

Baseball is inching toward its most significant breakthrough since jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Kim Ng, assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, interviewed with San Diego Padres CEO and vice chairman Jeff Moorad Saturday for a chance to be the first female general manager in major league history. Ng started out as a premiere adviser to New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. In 2005, she became the first woman to interview for a general manager position when vying for the spot with the Dodgers. She also interviewed for the general manager vacancy with the Seattle Mariners last fall. She didn't get either job. But with a struggling San Diego team in need of a fresh start, several inside sources say that Ng has a fair shot this time around. If Ng can somehow capture this historic opportunity and turn an appalling Padres team around, women worldwide will take a major step in not just the sports sphere, but in the entire business world. Stay posted on this one. COLLEGE FOOTBALL POLLS OVERRATED BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kensan.com There's been controversy for years over college football's poll system. Teams like Boise State and TCU have been victimized by strength of schedule (or lack thereof) and must wallow behind one-loss powerhouses like USC or Miami. When Alabama leaped ahead of Florida Sunday for the AP poll's No. 1, Tebow enthusiasts far and wide went into a frenzy. Kansas suffered a nail-biting loss to Colorado but still managed to grip the AP's No. 24. That's a lot of numbers and they make little sense it. College football fans must not abide by these polls as if they are the bible. They are just numbers based on opinions of informed yet varying writers. If Florida is so upset about Alabama stealing its throne, the Gators should simply win out as expected and demolish the Crimson Tide in the SEC title game to prove their worth. Easier said than done, but the spell of the polls can be broken with old fashioned W's. Now let's stop that weeping, Gainesville. THE FIGHT IN THE SHADOWS the Todd Haley era, Matt Cassel's improved rapport with Dwayne Bowe and Washington coach Jim Zorn's unspoken proclamation as the worst skipper in the league. It was a game that was masked by Kansas City's first victory in Details aside, one cannot help but look at the bigger issue in this matchup. It's the Chiefs vs. the Redskins. Not quite the Sacajawes vs. the Pocahontases, but is it really that different? Native American mascots represent many major American sports teams. Baseball has the Indians and the Braves. Football has the Chiefs and the Redskins. Hockey has the Chicago Blackhawks. Several schools across the country, such as the Florida State Seminoles and the Illinois Fighting Illini, also follow the trend. But is this widespread practice an ode to history or just an offensive gesture toward a race that was robbed of its land? It's time that these teams make a bold change. We like to think that our nation is far removed from racism and prejudice, yet these mascots are still displayed before our eyes through several media outlets. Allow mascots to serve their true purpose — means of motivation and positive representation. The road to equality desperately needs a clean slate on the mascot front.

The Broncos are undefeated despite a new coach and new defensive scheme. Undefeated Broncos are season's biggest surprise ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Most years, the Denver Broncos couldn't scramble out of the doors fast enough for a little rest and relaxation on their bye week. That's hardly the case this season. The NFLs most surprising team at 6-0, the Broncos are hesitant to put football on the back burner for a weekend, lest they lose their edge. They'd prefer to keep their foot on the gas after a convincing 34-23 win over San Diego on Monday night. Why would they want to get away from this? The bye almost comes at an inconvenient time for the Broncos, who are quite mindful of keeping their momentum after building a 3½-game lead over the Chargers to the AFC West. "We're going to stay on our P's and Q's and the time that we have off, we are going to use it correctly and come back ready to play," linebacker D.J. Williams said. Not all that long ago, the Broncos were viewed as nothing more than an entertaining soap opera as new coach Josh McDaniels kicked off his tenure by quarreling with his Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler, leading to a trade that sent Cutler to Chicago. That was followed by a suspension of talented receiver Brandon Marshall for insubordination in training camp. But all those episodes are now a fading memory as the Broncos move to 6-0 for the fifth time in franchise history. They have a highly efficient quarterback in Kyle Orton, a top-ranked defense fueled by veteran Brian Dawkins and the emergence of a special teams threat in Eddie Royal, who returned a punt and kickoff for touchdowns at San Diego. This team is clicking. As for complacency creeping in with a week off, the Broncos don't think that will be the case. “ W e "We understand that we have a long way to go. We've got to continue to work hard." ingrained in the heat of training camp when he put the players through practices in full pads a majority of the time. The approach set the groundwork for physical play, something the defense has definitely adopted. With defensive coordinator Mike Nolanleadingtheresurgence, the Broncos have transformed into a top-notch defensive squad, allowing a league-low 11 points a game. Those retro uniforms with the funky socks the Broncos have been donning in recent weeks are becoming apropos. understand that we have a long way to go," Orton said. "We've got to continue to work hard." Under McDaniels, this is almost like a throwback team, one willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. KYLE ORTON Broncos quarterback That after so many seasons It's a concept McDaniels in such disarray, blowing through one defensive coordinator after another. But the players have quickly caught on to Nolan's switch to a 3-4 look. It's also opened things up for defensive end/linebacker Elvis Dumervil, who's utilizing his long wing span and low leverage to shed offensive linemen and lead the league with 10 sacks. The Chargers embarrassed the Broncos last season, winning 52-21 in the final game of the season. That loss completed the Broncos' collapse as they blew a three-game lead with three games left and allowed San Diego to steal the division title. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Injured Cincinnati QB Pike may play against Louisville Cincinnati quarterback Tony Pike talks to a trainer after leaving with a sprained wrist against South Florida. Pike's status is uncertain for Cincinnati's game against Louisville. ASSOCIATED PRESS WCINNATI 5 ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Quarterback Tony Pike had surgery Tuesday to repair a damaged plate in his non-throwing arm, leaving his status uncertain for fifth-ranked Cincinnati's game against Louisville. Pike broke his left forearm last season, had a plate and six screws inserted, and returned after missing two games. He led the Bearcats to their first Big East title by playing with a cast on the arm. During a 34-17 win at South Florida on Thursday night, the plate shifted when Pike was hit, forcing him to miss most of the second half. Sophomore Zach Collaros helped the Bearcats (6-0) pull away, running for a pair of touchdowns. Pike met with a specialist on Monday, participated in a light practice with a cast on the forearm, then chose to have the surgery after consultations with another specialist. Coach Brian Kelly was notified on Monday night. The plan is for Pike to spend two days trying to keep the swelling to a minimum, then return to practice on Thursday and see what he can do. After that, Kelly will decide which quarterback starts against Louisville (2-4) on Saturday. "It's going to depend on the next 48 hours," Kelly said. "He cannot go out there if he can't protect himself. We can put him in a position where he can't feel comfortable in protecting himself. The last time, it took two weeks for us to feel he was ready to go. We're hoping that process is accelerated. That's why we're not going to rule him out for Saturday night now." Most likely, Collaros or sophomore Chazz Anderson — both of whom bailed the Bearcats out last season when Pike and Dustin Grutza got hurt — will play against Louisville 'The Bearcats' next game is at Syracuse (2-4) a week later. Pike ranks eighth nationally with 298.6 yards passing per game. With the senior running their no-huddle, spread offense, the Bearcats are fourth nationally in scoring with 40.7 points per game. Kelly has shown versatility and creativity in managing his quarterbacks. Last season, the Bearcats were forced to use five of them due to the injuries. Because Cincinnati has prospered through so much quarterback uncertainty, the Bearcats don't seem too concerned. “It's going to fall on the offensive play-calling,” Kelly said. “It's going to fall on making sure we get the right kind of calls for whoever the quarterback is. We're going to have to do some things to protect him a little bit more. We've got enough in our library that we can work on whoever the quarterback is. I don't believe anybody in that tocker room is concerned about it. We'll find a way to get it done.” When the season ended, he worked out with weights to regain full strength in the arm. The 6-foot-6 quarterback put on about 20 pounds, bulking up to 230, so he could take the pounding this season. Pike started the last eight games last season with his arm in a cast. The left arm hadn't given him a problem until the game at South Florida, when he got knocked backward and put the arm down to break his fall late in the first half. He started the second half but was in a lot of pain. Pike hasn't spoken publicly since the injury. Receiver Armon Binns said on Tuesday that Pike was in good spirits during the light workout a day earlier. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) we want this program to be," Mangino said, "we have to start winning against teams that are considered the elite teams in the league and beat them from time to time." It's a struggle that Fambrough, the fiery former coach, knows well. In his eight years as Kansas' head coach, he took the Jayhawks to two bowl games. But Fambrough's teams never defeated Nebraska or Oklahoma, the cream of the Big 8 in the '70s and '80s. "We were so far behind but at the same time we were expected to go compete with those people," Fambrough said. "Now I think they've learned their lesson and they've improved the facilities. We have as good an operation as anyone in the conference. We can stack up with anyone." In the past few seasons alone, Kansas has added a football-specific facility, practice fields and a new playing surface, and future plans call for a larger scoreboard to be installed next year. For a program that has slowly risen from the conference's gutter and into the national picture, the next step of the process involves toppling the best. "I'm trying to make it as simple as I can," Perkins said. "You have the whole cake made, you have the frosting and it tastes delicious. But you're missing that one thing. And then, plop, you put the cherry on. That's it." And as savory as knocking off national powers Oklahoma and Texas may sound, Perkins understands that first — and most importantly — Kansas must handle the schools in its own division. The Jayhawks are listed by many national pundits to capture the Big 12 North title, a feat that hasn't happened in Kansas history. "Coach is building the team to have an opportunity to win the Big 12 North and put ourselves in a position to play for the championship." Perkins said. "For me, that's my goal. I think we have everything in place to do that."

Anson was tied for 27th place entering the third round of the Kansas Invitational, held Sept. 25. BY ANDREW WITUSZYNSK' KU awituszynski@kansan.com The Kansas Jayhawks finished in seventh place at the Bill Ross Intercollegiate in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday. The Jayhawks dropped from fourth place to seventh place in the final round of play. "Fourth would have been a tolerable finish, but seventh is not," coach KIT Grove said. "The body language from most of the players was really poor and it was tough to watch as a coach." Grove said his biggest goal was to overtake Nebraska, who had a one-stroke lead on Kansas going into the final round of play. That did not happen as the Cornhuskers jumped from third place to second place. "Hats off to Nebraska for playing as well as they did." Grove said. "Now we just have to finish ahead of them next week and get back to where they are for the season standings." Central Arkansas won the tournament with a total of 880 strokes. Kansas' total number of strokes was 911. "It was a disappointing finish for us and it couldn't have gone any worse," Grove said. The individual leader for the tournament was Dustin Garza from Wichita State who shot a three-round total of 211 strokes. The closest Jayhawk to that score was surprisingly not Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior. Barbee had led the Jayhawks with the best individual score in every tournament so far this year, but this time it was walk-on Jeff Bell, Wichita freshman who led the Jayhawks in scoring with a total of 225. Right behind Bell was Barbee with 226 strokes. "Jeff has been a pleasant surprise for us this year," Grove said. "And not just on the golf course. He's a great kid and he does well in school and on the course he doesn't carry the weight of a bad hole with him on to the next one." That attitude is one that many golfers would love to have. The ability to forget about bad shots can keep a score low instead of blowing up. "I'm just lucky when it comes to that aspect of the game." Bell said. "It comes naturally for me to keep a good attitude on the course." Alex Gutesha, Greenwood Village, Colo., finished with a total of 228 strokes right behind Bell and Barbee. "This tournament could've been better for us obviously," Gutesha said. "We had high expectations and just didn't come through." The lone senior in the Jayhawks five-man rotation. Bryan Hackenberg, Denver, Colo., shot a pair of 77s on Monday and an 80 on Tuesday to finish with a total of total of 234 and rounding out the Jayhawks scores was Chris Gilbert, Simi Valley, Calif., freshman, with a 236. Kansas will play in its final tournament of the fall season next in Las Cruces, N.M., in the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate on Oct 26 and 27. Gutesha said all the players know what they need to do in the next tournament. "We don't have too many issues with our games, it's just a mental thing," Gutesha said. "We all just need to take something away from this tournament and learn from it and it will benefit us in the future." Grove said his team will be looking to improve on the seventh place finish. "We have some work to get done before we leave on Saturday, but we go into every tournament looking to win and that's exactly what we're going to try to do," Grove said. Edited by Betsy Cutcliff MLB Yankees defeat Angels, take 3-1 lead in ALCS ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. — Alex Rodriguez has done something remarkable in every game of his charmed October. CC Sabathia is settling for every time he takes the mound. Together, they've got the New York Yankees within one game of a return to the World Series. Rodriguez had three hits and scored three runs, while Melkro Cabrera drove in four runs for the Yankees, who have built a commanding cushion in this wild series with power and pitching. Rodriguez homered in the third straight game of his outstanding postseason, Sabathia pitched eight resilient innings of five-hit ball on short rest, and the Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels 10-1 Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series. One day after the Angels handed New York its first playoff loss in an extra-inning thriller, the Yankees calmly asserted control with two early rallies before piling on five runs late — all backed by Sabathia's steady work in his second win over the Angels on three days' rest. Johnny Damon added a late two-run homer for the Yankees, who could sew up their first trip to the World Series in six years with a win in Game 5 on Thursday night at Angel Stadium. New York's A.J. Burnett faces Angels ace John Lackey. With a two-run homer over the left-field fence that silenced an excited Anaheim crowd in the fifth, Rodriguez drove in a run in his eighth straight postseason game, tying the major league record. It was his fifth homer in New York's seven postseason games, matching Reggie lackson's iconic 1977 effort for the second-most homers in a single playoff year for the Yankees. Bernie Williams holds the New York record with six homers in hours and making a coast-to-coast flight over the previous three days, both teams needed a no-nonsense victory. Sabathia came through for the Yankees in his second win of the series, providing rest for New York's taxed bullpen while further frustrating Los Angeles' lineup, which is foundering in the playoffs after an outstanding regular season. Rodriguez also singled and scored New York's first run in the fourth, and he doubled and scored on an error in the ninth to cap his do-it all day. The Yankees' $161 million left-hander yielded two walks and struck out five, throwing 101 pitches. After he retired Torii Hunter on a weak grounder to end the eighth, thousands of fans stood up and left Angel Stadium, not sticking around for the final demise of their suddenly punchless club. 1996, but that mark seems ripe to be topped by A-Rod in the first phenomenal postseason for a superstar who mostly sputtered in October until now.

Kansas next takes on Texas Tech, which is wireless in conference play. BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team has a big challenge ahead of it: Don't underestimate Texas Tech. The Jayhawks (10-8, 3-6) will face the Red Raiders (21-5, 0-8) in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech has struggled all season and has only won one set in Big 12 Conference play all season. While Texas Tech is the last place team in the Big 12, it could be easy for Kansas to overlook the Red Raiders coming off an emotional victory at Kansas State and with a rematch against Missouri coming up this Saturday. Coach Ray Bechard said that if his team looks ahead in the Big 12, it could come back and bite them. The team is focused on Texas Tech, though, Bechard said. "Small steps in this league are hard enough, and you can take big steps backwards real quick," Bechard said. "The most important match on our schedule right now is tomorrow night at Tech." "They have some dynamic athletes. They continue to work Texas Tech has only won a single conference match in the last three seasons, but has a new coaching staff that hopes to turn the program around. Texas Tech also has some talented players, Bechard said. hard and you can see they are making progress", Bechard said. "Obviously we have to be well-prepared and execute well." Junior libero Melissa Manda said that it would be easy to look ahead, but the team is focused right now just as any other game and try and get better this match," Manda said. "We are going to focus on them While Texas Tech doesn't "The most important match on our schedule right now is tomorrow night at Tech." RAY BECHARD Kansas volleyball coach texas Tech doesn't have a conference victory yet, Texas Tech isn't as bad as its record suggests, sophomore outside hitter Lauren Hagan said. "I heard they played Texas and were at 20-20," Hagan said. "I lost in three, but they still put pressure on Texas." Kansas hopes to use the Kansas State victory to help gain some momentum for Texas Tech and the second half of Big 12 Conference play, Manda said. "We feel really good," Manda said. "It was definitely a step forward for us. We aren't letting it go to our head, but it helps boost our morale." Edited by Tim Burgess t Follow Zach Getz at twitter.com/zgetz COLLEGE FOOTBALL Undefeated Iowa fights for reputation ASSOCIATED PRESS IOWA CITY, Iowa — No. 7 Iowa is still having a tough time convincing others of its status as an early contender for the national title. Sure, the Hawkeyes (7-0, 3-0) are the only undefeated team in the Big Ten, and yes, Iowa has already beaten Penn State, Wisconsin and Iowa State on the road. But looking at the Top 25 poll and BCS standings shows that there's still some doubts about the Hawkeves. So what does Iowa have to do to move up in terms of both national perception and in the rankings? Iowa has reached its highest spot in the Top 25 since 2002 and is sixth in the BCS standings. But the other unbeaten from BCS affiliated conferences; Alabama, Florida, Texas and Cincinnati, are all ranked higher than the Hawkeyes in the Top 25 and the BCS. Coach Kirk Ferentz doesn't know — and he insists that he does not particularly care either. "It's October 20th, so I'm not too worried about any of that stuff right now," Ferentz said. "It's pretty simple. When you win, you feel pretty good. When you don't, you don't feel so good. That's good enough for us right now." The Hawkeyes will have another chance to prove themselves Saturday night when they play at Michigan State (4-3, 3-1), which has rebounded from a 1-3 start with three straight wins. The Hawkeyes are a one-point favorite against Michigan State, yet another sign of the doubt many have about the Hawkeyes. "The best way for us to get anywhere is just try to take care of this week, and that's about all we can handle right now," Ferentz said. Perhaps the biggest reason Iowa is such a question mark is because of something Ferentz has never cared for: style points. The Hawkeyes don't have them and neither does the Big Ten. Iowa didn't win many folks over with its narrow 17-16 escape over FCS school Northern Iowa in the opener. Iowa used a 21-10 victory at Penn State to get back into the Top 25, but the Hawkeyes followed that up by struggling to put away Arkansas State and Michigan at home before winning at Wisconsin 20-10 last weekend. Iowa's winning formula, while far from flashy, has worked so far. The Hawkeyes rely on a stellar defense that takes opponents out of their comfort zone and forces turnovers — Iowa is fourth in the nation in turnover margin — and a balanced offense that uses the clock and limits game-changing mistakes as much as possible. "We don't really care how we win. I mean, a win is a win," Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi said. "The style points and all that — we're not exactly the flashtest ballclub. Everybody knows that, so we didn't think wed be winning any style points anyways."

OBITUARY Student's friendly nature recalled BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com "I will never forget his smile," Zac Weiss, Bobby's brother, said. "He always seemed so happy about whatever he was doing." Anyone who knew Robert "Bobby" Weiss knew how kind and outgoing he was, say his closest friends and loved ones. Bobby, a sophomore majoring in biology, died Oct. 11 in his off-campus home. Jake Rasmussen, a friend of Bobby's from his hometown of Colby, said he remembered Bobby's outgoing nature. "He always had a joke and a smile, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone — he made people feel comfortable and included, no matter who they were," Rasmussen said. The youngest of five brothers, friends and family members described Bobby as a family-oriented man who loved nothing more than to spend the day outdoors. He also enjoyed debating philosophy and religion. "Bobby was very existential in his thinking," Zac said. "He was very open minded and curious. He questioned everything he heard." "He never took anything too seriously and I never saw the kid mad," Morton said. John Morton, a friend of the Weiss family in Colby, said Bobby loved having a good time and telling stories. Friends and family members said there was not a person in the world who disliked Bobby, which was why they said they were so shocked when they heard Bobby had taken his own life. After high school, Bobby spent a year at Colby Community College before transferring to the University of Kansas this semester. Despite concerns about leaving his ailing mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer three years earlier, he decided it would be best after her strong suggestions to pursue an education. "He was definitely looking forward to chasing girls and going to parties and doing all the things that college kids do," Zac said. "I'm just not sure if he was really ready to leave home yet." Less than a month after he moved to Lawrence, his mother passed away. In returning home to be with his family, Bobby missed about 10 days of classes at the start of the semester. Zac said that the last time he spoke with Bobby he seemed to be doing well with his academic work and said he was nearly caught up. But less than six weeks after he returned to Lawrence, Bobby took his own life. Family members said the news came as a complete shock. They said that in dealing with the loss of his mother, Weiss was often around to provide encouragement for others struggling with the death.

Associated Press NATURE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue whale makes rare appearance on shore 108 SANFRANCISCO — A 70-foot female blue whale that officials believe was struck by a ship has washed ashore on the Northern California coast in what scientists are calling a rare occurrence. ASSOCIATED PRESS The whale was first spotted on shore near Fort Braggin Mendocino County Monday night, hours after an ocean survey vessel reported hitting a whale a few miles away, said Joe Cordaro, a wildlife biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's marine fisheries service. A 70-foot female blue whale, that officials believe was struck by a ship, is shown in this photo provided by Larry R. Wagner. The whale washed ashore on the Northern California coast Tuesday近 Fort Bragg, Calif., and has a hash on its back estimated to be more than 8 feet long. Blue whales are the world's largest mammals. Students from California State University, Humboldt, examined the whale's massive body Tuesday as it lay on its side in a rocky cove. "I was personally jazzed just to see the animal," said Thor Holmes, a lecturer in mammology at the school. He has examined other whale species that washed ashore but never a blue whale. The whale had two gashes on its back — at least one of which was deep enough to cut through the blubber down to the vertebral column, Holmes said. It otherwise appeared to be in good health. It's unusual for blue whales to wash ashore, Cordara said. Last week, another blue whale washed up in Monterey-County after being hit by a ship. Before that, the last time a blue whale washed onto a California beach was 2007. The whales are "usually far offshore, deep water animals," Cordaro said. Although blue whales are considered endangered, experts say they have recently made a comeback and now number several thousand. Some blue whales feed in the waters off Central and Northern California this time of year then migrate elsewhere to breed, said Dawn Goley, an associate professor of zoology at the Humboldt campus. Researchers have taken skin and blubber samples from the beached animal to see what contaminants it may have been exposed to and what population group it comes from.

BIKES (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The three most important things bicyclists can do to be safe is follow traffic laws, wear bright clothing and act as if they are operating a regular car, Desetti said. "As a cyclist, you have to show extra vigilance when it comes to being aware of those around you," Desetti said. Monroe said people traveling both in motor vehicles and on bicycles could do more to be aware of their surroundings. "Obviously, the best way to stay bicycle-friendly is for bike riders and drivers alike to be more courteous to each other," Monroe said. A map illustrating all Lawrence streets that are designated as bicycle-friendly routes or have bicycle lanes is available in local bicycle shops, or online on the city's official Web site. Monroe said the city was always looking to increase the number of bike lanes and improve awareness of bicycle safety issues.

SAFETY TIPS FOR DRIVERS Scan for cyclists on roadways and at intersections - Scan for cyclists on roadways and at intersections. - When approaching cyclists, reduce your speed. Don't use your horn — you could startle a bicyclist and cause a crash. - Never turn across the path of a moving cyclist — slow down, queue up and turn behind the cyclist. - ■ When passing a bicycle, do so slowly, leaving at least 4 feet of passing space between your vehicle and the carlist. - Don't accelerate to pass cyclists when approaching a stop sign or light. Watch for approaching cyclists before opening your vehicle doors. Source: City of Lawrence motorists and bicyclists safety reminders Expect the unexpected, and slow down around cyclists. Edison said he thought Lawrence was biker-friendly in general, but felt the community could improve in some areas. "A lot of motorists seem to get annoyed at cyclists, and that can cause some problems." Edison said. Edison said he thought Kentucky and Tennessee streets were also more dangerous than other roads in Lawrence. He said it was because those streets had a higher speed limit and often had both pedestrians and cars coming from all angles. The bike lanes on streets were not entirely effective because many cars seem to drive over them and they often end after a few blocks. Edison said. "Obviously there are times you want to keep going but the bike lane just ends," Edison said. — Edited by Anna Kathaqnarath IMMIGRATION Authorities order release of human rights official ASSOCIATED PRESS EL PASO, Texas — Immigration authorities released a Mexican human rights official Wednesday, after detaining him last week as an asylum seeker even though he had not sought U.S. protection, his attorney said.

Associated Press Marine Corps sergeant sentenced for taking wounded soldier benefits ASSOCIATED PRESS QUANTICO, Va. — A Marine Corps sergeant was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months confinement and fined $25,000 for pretending to be an injured war hero to get free seats at rock concerts and professional sporting events. Sgt. David W. Budwah also will be reduced in rank to private and dishonorably discharged after any appeals. He must forfeit all pay and benefits during his confinement and is subject to up to 3 1/2 years of additional prison time if he re-offends within two years. Navy Capt. Bruce W. MacKenzie, chief judge for the Navy and Marine Corps, gave the sentence after Budwah pleaded guilty to seven counts in a military courtroom on the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Va. The offences included making false statements, malingering, misconduct and unlawful appropriation, and carried a combined maximum prison term of 81/2 years. Budwah, 34, of Springhill, La., acknowledged during the hearing that he was never deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, as he had claimed. He said he lied about having helped with the 2004 tsunami relief effort and didn't earn eight medals and ribbons he wore on his uniform. "The truth of it is, I was never deployed and I was never injured." Budwah said. "Everything that I said was false." He was actually a radio operator in Okinawa, Japan, from early 2000 to early 2006, when he was transferred to Quantico and worked as a retail store stock clerk and warehouse laborer. He admitted to bluffing his way into 13 events last year including banquets; Counting Crows, Boston and Collective Soul concerts; a Washington Redskins football game; and a Washington Nationals baseball game. He also lied to obtain a laptop computer and personal digital assistant from Soldiers' Angels, an organization that helps wounded service members. "It does a lot of damage," Kassie Claughton, a Soldiers' Angels representative, testified. "People who actually have been in combat — it kind of neglects what they're going through." Budwah acknowledged he lied when he told young boys at an American Legion camp in western Maryland in July 2008 that he was wounded in Afghanistan when he dove on a homemade grenade to shield a buddy from the blast. He apologized to those he deceived, especially workers and volunteers at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., where he was an inpatient during the second half of 2008. He said he initially was sent to the hospital for outpatient treatment for stomach problems and then became depressed and suicidal after a romantic relationship "You were only trying to help me and I betrayed that trust," Budwah said.

Thomas resigned in 2007. Ex-judge charged in sex abuse case ASSOCIATED PRESS MOBIKE, Ala. — Kidnapping and extortion charges against a former Alabama judge were dismissed Wednesday, but a jury will deliberate the remaining felony counts accusing him of paddling and sexually abusing male inmates in return for leniency. Circuit Judge Claud Neilson said jurors would hear closing arguments in the pared-down case against former Mobile Circuit Judge Herman Thomas on Thursday morning and begin deliberating later in the day. Thomas, 48, was a community leader in Mobile, serving as a judge for 17 years, a trustee of two universities and an organizer of mentoring programs for youth. He resigned in 2007 when allegations surfaced that he spanked defendants with a wooden paddle. Then earlier this year a grand jury indicted him on charges that he physically and sexually abused young male defendants in return for help with their cases. He originally faced 103 charges involving 15 young men, but prosecutors dropped four of the men's cases during the trial, and the judge threw out all ethics charges against him because the statute of limitations expired. On Wednesday, the judge dismissed kidnapping charges, saying accusations that Thomas took young men to a private courthouse office for paddlings didn't constitute kidnapping. Funeral home makes use of billboards Dwight Leroy Baker Visitation Wednesday 10-11am at Zion Lutheran Church ILES FUNERAL HOMES.com CLEAR CHANNEL 006010 NATIONAL **Iles Funeral Homes has found** a way to display funeral service announcements around Des Moines in the tradition of posting them around stores in small towns. They put them on electronic billboards. ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa - A funeral home is giving people one last chance to have their name in lights. Iles Funeral Home in Des Moines is going high-tech with its funeral announcements, putting them on electronic billboards around the city. John Wild, the general manager for Iles, compared it to the posting of funeral announcements at shops and post offices in rural communities where the business has funeral homes. "That's how we get the word out about visitations and services in those communities and when we were approached about using electronic billboards, we thought it would be a good way to do the same thing here in Des Moines," Wild said. Jessica Koth, spokeswoman for the National Funeral Directors Association in Brookfield, Wis., said it's the first time she's heard of a funeral home displaying service information on a billboard. Wild was approached by Clear Channel Outdoors, which provides the digital billboards, about advertising Iles Funeral Home on the signs. Instead, Wild decided to use the billboards to let the public know about visitations and funeral services. "I thought it was forward thinking and innovative," said Tim Jameson, president of the Des Moines division of Clear Channel Outdoor. The digital announcements, which have appeared on five billboards around Des Moines for a few months, last about 8 seconds. Announcements can flash the person's name, picture and service details as well as the funeral home's Web site. The announcement rotates with other ads and there is no additional cost to the family. Koth acknowledged concerns that the billboards could be a distraction, particularly if someone spots the name of a friend or acquaintance without knowing about it beforehand. But jameson said he doesn't think the billboards have been a problem. "The ad is for people who normally wouldn't be reached," he said. "It's no different that getting a text message or e-mail on your phone while you're driving down the road that somebody has died."

Not all parents think it's OK for the holiday second only to Christmas in the minds of many kids to be more a celebration of the most deranged characters pop culture has to offer. "Bloody, sadistic, nightmare-inducing Halloween costumes are indeed being made and marketed for kids, and no one seems to care," said Joel Schwartzberg, a parenting writer and Montclair, N.J., dad of a 10-year-old boy and Schwartzberg is fighting back at tooçarycostumes.com, which he hopes will raise awareness about how Halloween has strayed from "sickly sweet to just plain sick." No puritan, he said he loves a good horror flick and has even written some himself, but what's the point of all the realistic gore — for the very young, anyway? "I think wearing these costumes and being exposed to human deprivation, even in a fun context, doesn't scar kids so much as desensitize them to brutal violence," Schwartzberg said. "Kids are less able to distinguish between real world and fictional brutality than grown-ups." Some schools are also concerned, toning down Halloween celebrations or banning them altogether because of complaints about the gore factor, along with religious objections and concerns about too much candy and potentially dangerous props like pointy toy swords and vision- impairing masks. "It's one night a year — let them have fun as long as it's something that's not dangerous..." But it's Halloweeeeeeeen, costume companies and other parents argue, urging the bothered among them to exercise the privilege of saying "No" to violent, realistic gore. CINDY CHAPMAN Parent “It's one night a year — let them have fun as long as it's something that's not dangerous or putting their life in jeopardy,” said Big Lake, Minn., mom Cindy Chapman, who has a 9-year-old daughter. “I also have a rule: No store bought outfits, so that truly forces my daughter to be creative AND it cuts down on a lot of the commercial gore.” Marilynn A. Wick, founder and CEO for one of the largest costume distributors, Costume World, said the company relies on customers to "use their best discretion in selecting costumes and makeup for young people." She added that children are inspired by films and video games and that "Costume World has a responsibility and a mission to supply our clients with the most up-to-date costumes and accessories, many of which are inspired by these visual stimuli." Many "too scary" costumes are elaborate affairs, including a child Doctor Zombie available in size small with a "highly crafted" mask of a rotting face, a blood-splattered lab coat and "fully detailed" exposed and rotted rib cage.

According to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1,030,911, chlamydial infections were reported in the United States in 2006, though many cases go unreported. The research team consists of Hefty, two research technicians three graduate students and one undergraduate student. Scott Hefty, professor of molecular bioscience, is working with a team of researchers to create the basis for an antibiotic to treat the disease. Hefty said the team hoped to discover how to prevent the growth of chlamydial infections by understanding the basic functions of the disease. "Our laboratory is focused on trying to disrupt the growth of the organism or identify specific steps that are important for this organism to grow," Hefty said.

Kyle Kemgee is a Wichita graduate student working with the team to combat the disease. Kemenge said each student or technician was working on his or her own basic project as part of the overall research. Kemenge is working on decoding a specific protein, called protein CT009, that is not entirely understood. He said even understanding such a basic part of the chlamydial growth would make t a difference in their research. The protein regulates the function of the disease. "This protein, in some ways, is similar to other proteins that are major regulators in other organisms," Kemege said. He also said their research focuses on trying to understand this unknown protein and the role it has in the developmental cycle of chlamydia. Zane Jaafar, is one of the research technicians and is taking a year off before graduate school to participate in this research. As a former KU student, Jaafar has worked with the researchers in the past. Iaafar is taking a broader approach to the problem and is trying understand a large number of the proteins around the disease. Although Hefty said understanding the basic functions to disrupt chlamydial growth was the laboratory's short-term goal, the longer goal was to develop the basis for an antibiotic to effectively treat chlamydia within five to 10 years. Hefty said there were antibiotics such as doxycycline, which slows the growth of bacteria, used to cure the disease, but problems were arising as people became more resistant to the antibiotic. "Bacteria will eventually gain resistance to those antibiotics we use." Hefty said. "In chlamydia, there already has been resistance that has been demonstrated against doxycycline, so we need new antibiotics." chlamydia is known as a "silent" "It's really interesting to work on a micro-organism that has such a significant impact on public health worldwide," Kemege said.

Nick Parveez, Joshi's former manager at Lucky's Food Store in Grand Prairie, near Dallas, called the lottery commission in July to voice his suspicions about Joshi after hearing that his store sold a $1 million winning ticket, according to the affidavit. No one at Lucky's had ever seen Joshi play the lottery, assistant manager Mike Rahman said. MIKE RAHMAN Lucky's assistant manager "We were shocked. We didn't know he could do anything like this" Joshi, who was a student at the University of Texas at Arlington and had worked at the store for five years, was charged in Travis County in September with one count of claiming a lottery prize by fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. "He just left," Rahman said. The Austin American Statesman first reported on the charge Wednesday.

CONCORD, N.H. — As a growing number of manufacturers compete to meet consumer demand for thick, tangy Greek-style yogurt, it's not only the yogurt that's getting strained. For most of the last decade, a Greek dairy company dominated the U.S. market for the yogurt, which is produced by straining out the liquid whey from conventional yogurt.

Speaking in a small business near Washington, Obama said the initiatives would make it easier for smaller community banks to provide credit to small businesses, which have been hard-hit by the financial crisis. The president's plan also includes a request that Congress increase caps for existing Small Business Administration loans. "Over the past decade and a half, America's small businesses have created 65 percent of all new jobs in the country," Obama told about 150 employees at a storage business's warehouse on the eastern outskirts of Washington. "These companies are the engine of job growth in America," he said. "They fuel our prosperity. And that's why they have to be at the forefront of our recovery." The shift in focus comes amid outrage over record payouts to financial executives, some of whom work at firms that needed Washington to bail them out with billions of taxpayer dollars last year. Obama officials called the bonuses "offensive" and instead sought to convince the country that Obama's administration was interested in everyday Americans' struggles, not just the problems of those on Wall Street. On Wednesday, Obama pitched his plan as a way to create jobs and change day-to-day life. "These entrepreneurial pioneers embody the spirit of possibility, the tireless work ethic, and the simple hope for something better that lies at the heart of the American ideal. And they have always formed the backbone of the American economy" he said. "They're the ones who've opened the mom-and-pop stores and started the computer tinkering that has led to some of the biggest innovations and corporations in the world. After all, Hewlett Packard began in a garage. Google began as a research project. And McDonald's started with just one restaurant." The president called on lawmakers on Capitol Hill to increase the maximum size of loans small businesses can receive. The administration's plan would also provide infusions of money to small banks at low rates, provided they agree to increase lending to small businesses. Financial institutions, including credit unions and banks, that serve low income areas would also get help at even lower rates to help small businesses in the hardest-hit rural and urban areas. 10 ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama speaks at Metropolitan Archives facility in Landover, Md., Wednesday. He announced a package of initiatives that will increase credit to small businesses.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Congress ends the 'Widow's Penalty' IMMIGRATION ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - A legal provision criticized for making personal tragedies worse by triggering the automatic deportation of a small group of widows and widowers of U.S. citizens will not be in effect for much longer. Congress gave final approval Tuesday to legislation that would effectively abolish a provision known as the "Widow's Penalty." The measure is part of a bigger Homeland Security bill that President Barack Obama is expected to sign. Existing U.S. law triggers the deportation of surviving immigrant spouses of American citizens who die before they have been married two years. The new law would allow the widows to submit petitions seeking residency even when the spouse dies before two years of marriage.

Those affected come from all corners of the world and span all economic backgrounds; They include a woman from Kosovo whose contractor husband was killed in Iraq, a woman from Ecuador whose husband was a U.S. Border Patrol agent killed in the line of duty, a Jamaican whose husband was killed in New York City's Staten Island ferry accident, and a Briton and former head chef for Prince Charles and Princess Diana whose actor husband died of pancreatic cancer. "I've got hundreds of messages (from widows), and it's really great," said Brent Renison, a lawyer in Portland, Oregon, who created a support network for widows and widowers, and has taken the lead in the widows' class action suit.

At the root of the problem was a 1970 court ruling that stated that a husband's death stripped the wife of her position as spouse, meaning she no longer qualified for a green card. A 1990 law then narrowed that ruling's scope, saying a widow married to a U.S. citizen for at least two years can file a petition for a residency permit on her own behalf.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Two of three Ohio men convicted of plotting to recruit and train terrorists to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq were sentenced in federal court Wednesday to more than a decade in prison. TERRORISM Two sentenced in plot to recruit new terrorists All Students Welcome ASSOCIATED PRESS Mohanimad Amawi received a 20-year term, with credit for three years he has already spent in custody. He will remain under lifetime supervision upon his release, U.S. District lodge James Amawi Carr said. Marwan El-Hindi, 46, described by prosecutors as the leader, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and given an 18-month consecutive term on an unrelated fraud conviction. Both men had faced a maximum sentence of life in prison. "This isn't a capital "T' terrorism case," Carr said. But the judge said he hoped the sentences send a message to anyone who is tempted to even talk about harming American soldiers. Amawi, El-Hindi and Wassim Mazloum, all of Middle Eastern descent, met in Toledo about five years ago and began plotting and training to help insurgents in Iraq, the FBI said during their trial last year. But defense lawyers argued that their clients were set up by an undercover FBI informant. Wednesday, the judge said that while the informant played a huge role in the case, his actions did not amount to entrapment. Carr said Amawi could have backed out, but instead talked about plans to help the insurgency in Iraq and watched jihadist videos. Talk of killing troops isn't protected by free speech, the judge said, and is not just "idle chatter or fantasy." Prosecutors described El-Hindi as the leader among the three. "I became American by choice. I love this country more than any country in the world." "His role was to recruit, encourage and facilitate his proteges," federal prosecutor Thomas Getz said. An attorney for El-Hindi, who has lived in the United States for 25 years, said his client never took any action toward harming U.S. soldiers. And El-Hindi said his only mistake was speaking with a man who turned out to be a government informant. "I became American by choice. I love this country more than any country in the world," El-Hindi said. "If I disagree with the government, that does not mean I want any harm to this country." The judge determined that El-Hindi tried to recruit two Chicago-area cousins into the group's plot. Mazloum was to be sentenced Wednesday night. MARWAN EL-HINDI Convicted terrorist Lawyers for all three defendants say their clients were manipulated by the prosecution's star witness, Darren Griffin. After the judge first sentenced Amawi, defense attorney Edward Bryan said Carr was courageous given that the government wanted the maximum punishment for his client. Bryan said Amawi's interest in learning how to shoot guns and defend himself was based on a desire to protect himself and his family. He said the case against Amawi was conceived, contrived and concocted by the government. Defense attorneys noted that Griffin was involved in all the recorded conversations presented to the jury, and said the government provided no evidence of telephone conversations or e-mails dealing with the alleged plot among only the defendants. Griffin said most people at the mosque shunned him and no one raised any threats until El-Hindi began talking about kidnapping Israeli soldiers. Amiwa, Griffin said, asked him to help train two recruits from Chicago for holy war. Griffin testified that he twice traveled to Jordan with Amawi and also taught Amawi and Mazloum how to shoot guns. Amaiw, El-Hindi and Mazloum were convicted of conspiring to kill or maim people outside the United States, including military personnel. Aawai and El-Hindi were convicted of distributing information regarding explosives to terrorists. Amawi and El-Hindi are U.S. citizens. Mazloum came to the U.S. legally from Lebanon. El-Hindi was born in Jordan. $8 = 16 pounds of Laundry $8=16 OR $16=32 pounds of Laundry pounds of Laundry MANAGER'S SPECIAL $8=16 OR $16=32 pounds of Laundry pounds of Laundry Laundry Service WASH DRY FOLD pick up & delivery 913-915-8670 Office Hours: Mon- Sat 7:30 am-9pm --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 2009 NEWS 9A CRIME Gunman receives second trial to determine sanity A. J. HAMES ASSOCIATED PRESS Jewish Federation shooter Naveed Haq appears on the first day of his new trial in Seattle, Wednesday. A second trial began to determine if a mentally ill man who stowed a Jewish center in 2006, killing one woman and wounding five others was legally insane at the time. ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Naveed Haq wasn't insane — just angry — when he stormed a Seattle Jewish center in 2006, killing one woman and wounding five others as he railed against Israel and demanded to go on CNN, a prosecutor said Wednesday. "He was tired that no one was listening to the Muslim point of view. He wanted that point of view heard." King County deputy prosecutor Don Raz told jurors as Haq's second trial opened Wednesday. "Naveed Haq's press release found one woman dead, three women struggling for their lives, two women critically injured and a community struck to its core." Haq's first trial ended last year with jurors deadlocked on whether he was legally insane during the shooting spree on July 28, 2006. The second trial effectively determines whether the 34-year-old will spend the rest of his life in prison or in a state mental hospital, as his own lawyers have conceded he poses a danger to the public and should never be free. Haq drove from his eastern Washington home to Seattle the day of the attack and forced a teenage girl at gunpoint to let him into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. Once in the second-floor office, he opened fire, shooting some people in their cubicles, some in the hall and one, Pamela Waecht, fatally as she fled down at a stairwell. Raz acknowledged Haq's history of mental illness, but focused his opening statement on Haq's preparations in an effort to show that his mind was clear that day. Haq made several trips to gun stores in the weeks prior to the attack, wrote two documents on his father's computer criticizing Israel and U.S. policy in the Middle East and used MapQuest to find directions to the center from his family's home in Pasco, 180 miles east of Seattle. "I did a very good thing. I did it for a good reason." NAVEED HAQ Seattle Jewish Center gunman On his way to the Jewish center, he pulled off Interstate 5 and test-fired his gun, Raz said, and pulled over for driving down a bus-only street in rush hour, he seemed normal to a police officer. In a recorded phone conversation after the shooting, Raz said, Haq told his mother, "I did a very good thing. I did it for a good reason." She said, "I know you're not well," to which Haq replied: "Whatever, Mom." One of Haq's lawyers, John Carpenter, argued that Haq could not perceive the quality of his actions, and that he believed he could change the course of wars by attacking the Jewish Federation. "There could be no defense for this act if it was borne by an undiseased mind," Carpenter said. "But it wasn't." Carpenter described Haq's condition as psychizoaffective disorder with bipolar tendencies and said that his troubles became worse when he studied at the University of Pennsylvania. He said his client would hear voices that called him a "loser" and a "homo" CRIME unlal 177 ASSOCIATED PRESS **SAINTS OF PRESENTATION** Yayapaul County Sheriff's Office Lt. David Rhodes speaks with the media after a news conference in Prescott, Ant. The deaths of three people during a wake tandem ceremony led by self-help expert James Arthur Ray are being investigated as homicides, authorities said. Participants showed signs of weakness in sweat lodge FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — More than 50 followers of spiritual gurus James Arthur Ray had just endured five strenuous days of fasting, sleep-deprivation and mind-altering breathing exercises when he led them into a sweat lodge ceremony. ASSOCIATED PRESS It was supposed to be a religious awakening, the culmination of a $9,000-plus-a-person retreat outside Sedona, Ariz., aimed at helping people find a new vision for life. But it wasn't long before the ceremony turned into a terrifying experience People were vomiting in the stifling heat, gasping for air, and laying lifeless on the sand and gravel floor beneath them, according to participant Beverley Bunn. One man was burned when he crawled into the rocks, seemingly unaware of what he was doing, she said. When participants showed weakness, Ray urged them to push past it and chided those who wanted to leave, she said. "I can't get her to move. I can't get her to wake up," Bunn recalls hearing from two ASSOCIATED PRESS It also marks a significant revelation in the criminal investigation into Ray over the episode because it portrays him as driving participants to stay in the lodge despite signs all around him that the situation had gone bad. Investigators are considering bringing charges against the guru and trying to learn about his actions that night in a case that has cast a harsh spotlight on Ray and his self-help empire. Bunn, a 43-year-old Texas resident, provided her wrenching description of the sweat lodge tragedy in an interview with The Associated Press, the first public account from a participant in the Oct. 8 ceremony. were given short notice before they were to enter the sweat lodge.

Ray's response: "Leave her alone, she'll be dealt with in the next round." Howard Bragman, a spokesman for Ray, said many people at the "Spiritual Warrior" event had "amazing experiences," and noted that people should not rush to judgment about what occurred during an ongoing investigation. Lightly dressed in bathing suits, shorts and tank tops, they received a blessing meant to cut away negative energy before crawling into the sweat lodge. Ray led the group inside and sat next to the opening. A second row formed, their bodies closest to what would be a pile of heated rocks. B According to Bunn, participants A fire heating up rocks outside the lodge consumed journal pages Participants began to show signs they were weakening midway through the ceremony. By the time people started collapsing, Bunn had already crawled to a spot near the opening of the sweat lodge, praying for the door to stay open as long as possible between rounds so that she could breathe in fresh air.

Benavale is certified to teach net first aid by the Red Cross. ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Most pet owners would leap into action for an injured pet, even if it meant risking dog breath by going mouth-to-snout. Fifty-eight percent of pet owners 63 percent of dog owners and 53 percent of cat owners would be at least somewhat likely to perform CPR on their pet in the event of a medical emergency, according to an Associated Press-Petside.com poll. Tammy Parks, 52, of Amherst, Mass., has taken a pet first aid class and wouldn't hesitate to help her 15-year-old mixed breed terriers, Lucy and Julia, or her white fronted Amazon parrot Koko. In general, though, the poll found few pet owners are prepared to handle pet emergencies. Just 20 percent of pet owners have a pet first aid kit with medical supplies like bandages and ointment in their home, and 54 percent do not have a fire evacuation plan for their pets. Still, most pet owners said they would go the extra mile to rescue their pets. Women were more likely to say they would perform CPR on their pets than men, 65 percent to 50 percent. And the survey revealed frequent reporting of dangerous practices that can lead to accidents and injuries. For example, a quarter of pet owners, including 30 percent of dog owners and 22 percent of cat owners, give their pets bones from table scraps, at least sometimes. Sixty-two percent of dog owners and a third of cat owners let their pets ride in their cars unrestrained, rather than placing them in a special pet carrier. And 11 percent of pet owners sometimes leave their pets unattended in a car or truck. the poll showed. Nearly every decision made at the Parks house is made with the safety of the animals in mind. "We don't use pesticide on the lawn. We don't buy food with pesticide on it. No sugar, no salt, just natural nuts and fruits.

Improvements in housing and manufacturing are driving the early stages of the economic recovery, according to a Federal Reserve survey released Wednesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Midwest is starting to see a comeback in manufacturing and technology. Home sales are rising in parts of the Northeast. But states like Florida, Nevada and California, still suffering from the housing bust, remain depressed. The economy's tentative recovery is occurring in pockets around the country, with some states and cities starting to rebound while neighboring areas still struggle, two government reports showed Wednesday. They showed improving job markets in some Midwestern states, such as Indiana and Ohio. But other states, such as Rhode Island, posted new record-high joblessness. In the Fed's latest survey of businesses nationwide, all but two of 12 regions showed at least some signs of improvement. Only the Atlanta and St. Louis regions reported weaker economic activity. The survey found many parts of the country either stabilized or estly over the past six weeks.

CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS MAYS LANDING, N.J. Jurors weighing the fate of three men accused of setting up a videotaped sex sting of an Atlantic City councilman determined that the camera doesn't lie, convicting each on nearly all charges Wednesday. Floyd Tally and brothers Ronald and David Callaway were found guilty of conspiracy, criminal coercion and invasion of privacy. David Callaway was acquitted on "My religion says I can't rejoice in anybody's suffering, even though they had been my enemies." one of two invasion of privacy counts. EUGENE ROBINSON Councilman The tape was leaked to the media in an attempt to get Robinson, who also is a Baptist minister, to resign. He refused and contacted authorities instead. The charges involved the clandestine videotaping in November 2006 of Councilman Eugene Robinson, who was lured to a motel and received oral sex from a prostitute hired by the defendants and the mastermind of the scheme, former Council President Craig Callaway. "My religion says I can't rejoice in anybody's suffering, even though they had been my enemies," Robinson said when informed of the verdicts by The Associated Press. His health took a precipitous decline after the videotape was made public, and he lives in a nursing home. "Things should be done in decency," Robinson said. "I think Ronald Callaway's lawyer, Bonnie Putterman, said her defense was based largely on the premise that the prostitute had misidentified Ronald Callaway. about people who might want to go into public service who may be dissuaded from it because of what happened to me. But justice is being done, and I applaud that." who is one of 13 siblings. "They (the jury) grouped them all together," she said. "I don't think they could escape the fact that they were all Callaways." Harry Leszchyn Jr., David Callaway's attorney said his client "was the most peripheral" player in the case. "The jury obviously felt he was more involved than I believed," he said, adding Callaway would appeal the conviction. All three defendants were handcuffed and led away by sheriff's officers immediately after the verdict. A judge revoked bail for Ronald Callaway, 53, and Tally, 39. The judge set bail for 46-year-old David Callaway at $50,000, which he was not immediately able to post. David Callaway and Tally also are awaiting trial on an unrelated voter fraud case in which they are accused of absentee ballot fraud on behalf of one of the losing candidates in June's Democratic mayoral primary in Atlantic City. They are accused of falsifying ballot applications on behalf of Councilman Marty Small, who was the principal opponent of the incumbant mayor. ASK LISTEN SOLVE SEEK BALANCE IN SIMPLICITY.

And really, they both looked like just another game day for Kansas' starting running back Then kickoff rolled around. t t Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ Jayson.Jenks. After the pregame ceremonies, Sharp found himself reduced to watching the Jayhawks from the sideline, unable to contribute because of an undisclosed injury. "It's something where you work really, really hard and you don't ever want to suffer an injury because every game is very important," Sharp said. "You know, one step closer to every game being my last." Sharp paused for a moment "I missed it. A lot." Now, after playing at Colorado Saturday — his first full game since Sept. 12 — he's back. During his tenure at Kansas, Sharp's size and ability to hold up in a physically-loaded conference such as the Big 12 have routinely been debated. But never has Sharp's toughness been doubted. With the size and speed of college athletes, the ability to play through minor, nagging injuries has become a reality of the game. Sharp has been no different. In fact, Sharp's high school coach at Salina Central, Marvin Diener, said Sharp played down the stretch last season with "some broken ribs and those kinds of things." "This isn't track," Sharp said. "You're just not 100 percent. There's just no question. But you're definitely good enough to play the game of football. That's just how it is. Anyone who plays or has played understands that." If Sharp could have played - if there was a chance he could have helped Kansas — he insisted he would have done so. His teammates agreed. "A guy like Jake, with as competitive as he is, any time he can't play out there with the team, he hates it," senior quarterback Todd Reesing said. "I know it was harder on him than anybody else having to sit out because if there was any way he could have played at all, he would have done it. "He's a tough kid. I don't think he has to prove that to anybody." Each week after Sharp's injury, coach Mark Mangino appeared cautiously optimistic that his starting running back could return at any time. But he always bracketed his words by saying that he didn't want to risk Sharp's health. There was also a slightly more strategic side to the situation. "Coach pulled me aside a couple times and said, 'You know, your speed's your thing and we just have to make sure you have it,' Sharp said.

COMMENTARY Column's remark on Mangino unfit to print BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR Errors in context can relay a message that is perceived as a criticism or assumption to par ties who don't deserve either. I'm referring to Wednesday's column in The University Daily Kansan by Clark Goble entitled "Student reporters kept at a distance." It was an interesting piece. Goble, a football writer for The Kansan, set the scene by describing being pushed aside by a television reporter while recording football coach Mark Mangino's postgame remarks. This then inspires a story from Montana in which the University of Montana's football coach Bobby Hauck continues to refuse giving interviews to reporters from the school paper, The Kaimin. Beginning when the paper had reported a story about an alleged assault about a month ago, its reporters have been denied comment from the coach and players. Rather than address any factual errors or specific problems with The Kaimin's report, Hauck took to belittling the reporters publicly when they dared to do their jobs. Hauck's handling of the situation is childish and bears mentioning And it is that series of incidents that partly necessitates today's column. As this paper's sports editor, I feel compelled to address how the final sentence of Wednesday's column remained intact. The first step of the editorial process at The Kansan is for the section editors to review his or her content, make necessary changes and pass along comments to the copy desk — where further edits are made. When I came across the sentence "Hopefully Mangino never crosses that line" in reference to Hauck's shutting out his college's student press, I felt it presumptive and unfit for publication. I recommended that the column's copy editor pass along a comment to Goble recommending he make Kansas' coaches and their handling of last months fight fallout the center of the column, using the Montana coach as context. Student journalists are finding themselves in the same realm and discussion as their professional peers, especially with the proliferation of Web media. When the football and basketball teams engaged in their September brawls, The Kansan's coverage was linked on national sports aggregator RealClearSports.com. Goble didn't receive that message, and no such changes were made. This column is not being written to place any blame on Goble as his intentions were not to create a stir but merely to state that he hopes Kansas' coaches never resort to Hauck's methods of handling situations. Mangino and basketball coach Bill Self deserve praise for being honest and direct, and for not limiting what can be asked to players in the aftermath of those fights. Most importantly, neither coach has ever treated The Kansan — which falls under the umbrella of media outlets both have described as "making the story bigger than it was" — the same shameful way Hauck treats his. — Edited by Anna Kathagnaratn t Follow Stephen Montemayor at twitter.com/smontemayor 2B SPORTS --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QUOTE OF THE DAY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2009 "I think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball." - Jack Lemmon FACT OF THE DAY Women's golf has finished in the top 10 in each of its tournaments this fall.

Also, returning is senior Kelsey Griffin, who averaged 14.5 points in starting her first three years but missed last season with an ankle injury that required two surgeries. Associated Press MORNING BREW Briscoe playing the big stage D dzemon Briscoe might be the best receiver in the country. Still Despite the infamous drop. And the one before it. And here's why. We'll start with my original concept. You see, about six days ago when this column was conceived it was going to be a "Dezmon Briscoe is the best wide receiver in the country." But then — well, you saw it. Do I have to relive it? I'm going to say no and save us the agony By the way, I want to clear this up before I go any further. Kerry Meier is an absolutely phenomenal receiver. He's a precise route runner, has impeccable timing with his quarterback and is the proud owner of the best pair of hands in the Big 12 conference, if not the country. But he's not Briscoe. You know it. I know it. Ed Warriner knows it. It's why Briscoe was the guy on that fourth and six. It's why he was the guy on that desperation, three seconds left for a prayer hey by Todd Reesing. Meier, as much as Kansas fans (and quarterbacks) love him, doesn't get his hands above the entire Colorado defense like Briscoe did on that last play. But anyway, as I was wallow ing in my post-drop misery, I BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com checked the box score. Eight catches for 154 yards and a touchdown? When the hell did that happen? How good does a receiver have to be for an eight catch 150+ yard performance to be a disappointment, regardless of an unfortunately timed case of the dropsies. (Side note, that was a hell of a play he made to even get his mitts on that ball. Hard to fault him on that one.) Briscoe, a 6-foot-3 manimal, has obviously raised his bar to an absolutely ridiculous level. It's long been said among pilots that it's not the spin that kills you, it's the lack of a recovery (GOOSE!). If I were a gambling man (oh...wait...) I would bet my non-existent farm on Dez having a monster day this Saturday And that's where the "might be" comes in. Sure, it's the toughest second ary he has faced to this point. But Briscoe, as we learned last year, is a beast on the big stage. Kid loves the bright lights. We witnessed this against the Sooners last year. And against Minnesota in the Insight Bowl. Huge stage.Huge games. No coincidences. We have no idea how he'll rebound. He's never been THE guy at Kansas and not come down with the ball. Hell, when was the last time he didn't come down with the ball, period? But more important, and far less of a certainty, is Briscoe's ability to overcome the mental hurdles of failure, though failure is too strong a word. We'll finally get to see how he bounces back. We'll see the internal fortitude of this guy for the first time in, well, ever. As Briscoe lay on the field with ecstatic Colorado fans streaming past him, he looked defeated. He wearily unsnapped his chin-strap and covered his face with his hands. Need a picture of the agony of defeat? There it is. He's going big this weekend. Double digit catches, triple-digit yards, multiple touchdowns big. And, no pressure, but he has to. I'm thinking he returns to form, not that it ever really left him. Briscoe can't afford to be weaired and defeated this weekend. He can't. THE MORNING BREW Kansas can't afford it. The Jayhawks need him. He's THE guy. And if he proves it again, scratch the "might be." He is the best receiver in the country. THURSDAY YOUTUBE SESH I had to do this one in a show of solidarity for Briscoe. **It's a) fitting for the above column, and b) one of the most impressive plays.** SESH So type Dezmon Briscoe into your YouTube search and watch the tacklers drop like so many flies. t Follow Tim Dwyer at twitter.com/timdwyer Edited by Jonathan Hermes THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS reserve lineman Jimmy Burge for Saturday's homecoming game.The redshirt freshman player is serving a one-game suspension.

NORMAN, Okla. — Just when it seemed as if Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford was ready to make a decision about his future, the injured Oklahoma quarterback decided he needed more time to think about it. Bradford called off a news conference scheduled for Wednesday night. Coach Bob Stoops said Bradford needed to gather more information before choosing what to do about his injured right throwing shoulder. "He just wasn't ready to fully answer everything that'll want to be asked and for sure what he wants to do just yet, until he has a few more people to visit with." Stoops said after the Sooners' practice. "That's it. I won't say another word about it." Bradford was coming off of one of the most prolific passing seasons in NCAA history when he opted to come back for his junior year instead of entering the NFL draft this year. He was considered a top quarterback prospect after throwing for 4,720 yards and 50 touchdowns last season. Bradford was initially hurt just before halftime in the season opener against BYU and returned to play one full game before being re-injured during Oklahoma's second drive in a 16-13 loss to No. 3 Texas on Saturday.

He said before re-injuring the shoulder that surgery remained a treatment option. He was initially diagnosed with a Grade 3 sprain of his AC joint, and Stoops said X-rays and MRIs have shown no new damage. "Sam's whole situation, he'll have something to say when he knows what his path will be, and that isn't right now," Stoops said. "I'm not the one to answer it. He will. And I will once he feels he's ready to and knows for sure what he wants to do." Bradford's primary reason for returning to Oklahoma was to pursue the national championship that he narrowly missed out on last season, when the Sooners lost to Florida in the BCS championship game. An Oklahoma City native, Bradford has also spoken about how Oklahoma football was practically a pro sport to him as he was growing up. "I think it's extremely difficult for him, coming back for all the right reasons, wanting to have an opportunity to go compete on the football field, compete for championships and then having all those things taken away from you," quarterbacks coach Josh Heupel said.

Alexander's career was plagued with injuries before his breakout season this year. Receiver emerges as go-to player COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two years ago, Danario Alexander beat out future NFL first-round draft pick Jeremy Maclin for a starting wide receiver spot at Missouri. Then he broke his wrist. ASSOCIATED PRESS As a senior, and after four operations for various injuries, the often-injured Alexander has finally emerged as a go-to player who make Maclin proud. Alexander had a career-high 180 yards on nine receptions in last week's loss at Oklahoma State, with a 48-yard catch and run that put the Tigers ahead in the second quarter, and added catches of 50 and 34 yards. While sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert has been hobbled by an ankle injury the last two games and running back Derrick Washington has been bottled up by defenses. Alexander has been a constant threat. ABE&JAKE'S LAUNDING TONIGHT $1 DRINKS 21+ TO DRINK DANCE 18+ PARTY "Danario made a bunch of great plays," Gabbert said. "Defenses are starting to key on him a little more but somehow he always gets open." Alexander has led the team in receptions in five of six games and has been especially productive on the road, averaging nearly 10 catches and more than 160 yards. He's already achieved career single-season highs in every offensive category, leading the Tigers with 44 receptions for 627 yards and is tied for the team lead with five touchdowns heading into Saturday night's game against No. 3 Texas. He's second in the Big 12 and ninth in the NCAA in receiving yards with an average of 104.5 yards. "It might not be fair to compare him to Maclin, who might be the best single player at any position I coached in 32 years in college football," coach Gary Pinkel said. "But I've said all along that he's a guy that if hed have been healthy his whole career, hed be considered among the top 10 or so receivers in the country. Alexander is from Marlin, Texas and grew up rooting for Texas and will be facing the Longhorns for the second time.

"It is a 5-yard penalty if you do anything to enhance the spot. We've done some research on it, and over half the teams in the league do something with it. "We certainly don't want our players to do anything that's illegal." "They put a piece of grass there or a piece of mud or wherever it Saban says he Spurrier stopped short of accusing Alabama coaches of intentionally breaking the rule.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Senator wants Obama to investigate the BCS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON whose undefeated home state school was bypassed for the college football national championshiplast season urged President Barack Obama on Wednesday to ask the justice Department to A senator R Utah, said in a 10-page letter to Obama calling for an antitrust probe of the BCS. The Associated "Mr. President, as you have publicly stated on multiple occasions, the BCS system is in dire need of reform." ORRIN HATCH U.S. Senator investigate theBowlChampionship Series, citing Obama's own concerns about the way the top team is crowned in building a case for action. "Mr. President, as you have publicly stated on multiple occasions, the BCS system is in dire need of reform," Sen. Orrish Hatch, Press obtained a copy of the letter. Shortly after his election last year, Obama said he was going to "to throw my weight around a little bit" to nudge college football toward a playoff system. Obama and Hatch are among the many critics of how the BCS — a complex system of computer rankings and polls that often draws criticism — determines its national champion. Hatch, who held a hearing on the BCS in July, told Obama that a "strong case" can be made that the BCS violates antitrust laws. Under the BCS system, some athletic conferences get automatic bids to participate in top-tier bowl games while others don't, and the automatic bid conferences also get far more of the revenue. Hatch's home state school, the University of Utah, is from the Mountain West Conference, which does not get an automatic bid. The school Thesystem "has been designed to limit the number of teams from nonprivileged Hatch said the BCS arrangement likely violates the Sherman Antitrust Act because it constitutes a "contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce," quoting from the law He said the system "artificially limits the number of nationally-relevant bowl games to five.

ABE & JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET LAWRENCE PS WALLING --- ANSAN 2009 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 2009 5B PRESS ippi COLLEGE FOOTBALL Clemson and Miami'rivals'reunite 12 Miami quarterback Jacory Harris throws a touchdown pass during the first quarter against Central Florida in Orlando, Fl. Saturday. The Atlantic Coast Conference "invals" Gledson and Miami are meeting for the first time since 2005. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS That tends to happen when four years pass between meetings. CORAL GABLES, Fla. — A few things have changed since Atlantic Coast Conference "rivals" Clemson and Miami last renewed acquaintances. When these teams last met on Sept. 17, 2005, Miami quarterback Jacory Harris was in 10th grade, Clemson standout C.J. Spiller was coming off a 318-yard, four-touchdown effort for Union County High in north Florida and getting recruited by the Hurricanes, Randy Shannon was Miami's defensive coordinator and Tigers coach Dabo Swinney was working with Clemson's wide receivers. So now, 1,498 days later, the Tigers (3-3, 2-2 ACC) will visit the eighth-ranked Hurricanes (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday afternoon, a critical game for both teams in the conference title chase. Of course, that doesn't mean either side knows a whole lot about the other. "I don't know if it can be a rivalry," said Miami senior left tackle Jason Fox, who'll start his team-best 43rd career game. "I've never played them." Strange as that sounds for teams in the same conference, it's not entirely uncommon nowadays. In the 12-team ACC, all schools play eight league games. Five are against divisional rivals, one against a "primary crossover opponent" from the other division — for Miami, it's Florida State; for Clemson, it's Georgia Tech — and two rotating nondivisional opponents. "To be honest with you, I looked at the schedule a while ago and said, 'Dang, Clemson,' Miami left guard Orlando Franklin said. "Got to worry about them. I've never played them before, but I've Similar setups prevail in the Southeastern Conference, the Big 12, Conference USA ... almost any league with multiple divisions. Just last week, SEC foes South Carolina and Alabama played for the first time in 1,491 days. watched their games and they've got a two-deep for D-line and linebackers. That means they won't be tired." All the Tigers and Hurricanes aren't strangers. Clemson has 16 players from the talent-rich state of Florida on its roster, with Miami safety Randy Phillips having ties to at least two of them. He and Tigers wide receiver Jacoby Ford essentially grew up together in Palm Beach County, and Phillips hosted Spiller on his recruiting visit to Coral Gables four years ago. "I know the guys pretty well," Phillips said. "It's going to be a friendly rivalry when we get out there. Should be a great game. A lot of speed, a lot of talent on display, a lot of great individual players on display. The better team is going to win the game, of course." Like Phillips, Ford is already eager, too. Miami "is actually where I do want to play as a kid," Ford said. "I grew up a big Miami fan and always wanted to go there when I was smaller. It didn't turn out that way and I wound up in Clemson, which I don't regret at all." don't play more, because the first two meetings since Miami joined the ACC were classics. Both needed overtime, Clemson winning 24-17 at the Orange Bowl on Nov.6,2004 and It's almost too bad these teams Miami prevailing 36-30 in triple overtime at Death Valley 10 1/2 months later. "It's going to be a friendly rivalry when we get out there. Should be a great game." Phillips, linebacker Darryl Sharpton and defensive end Eric Moncur are the only three remaining Miami players who played in the 2005 game. For Clemson, the only current Tiger who appears on the stat sheet from the matchup four years ago is running back Rendrick Taylor, who caught one pass for minus-4 yards.

Junior guard Conner Teahan said the team talked about the second team being competitive in the Big 12. "It's fun because the practices are very competitive but it's also frustrating because there are so many good guys and everybody is trying to get on the court," Teahan said. But because the team is stacked this year, said sophomore guard Jordan Juenemann said, the opportunity for garbage time, when the outcome of the game is determined at the end of a blowout and a coach puts replacements in, may increase for some players.

COMICS Controversial artist draws comic-version of Genesis ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — His religious upbringing might well be as unorthodox as the psychedelic-inspired comic-strip characters that have made R. Crumb the most famous underground artist of his time. Which, come to think of it, may have made Crumb the perfect artist for his latest project, an illustrated, comic-book version of "The Book of Genesis," the work that comprises the first 50 chanters of the Bible Raised in a secular household that was headed by a rigidly strict, ex-Marine father who was actually a closedet atheist, Crumb was sent off to Catholic school at age 6 because his father had always admired the discipline Catholic nuns were famous for instilling in their students. "We never got a lot of religion at home." Crumb says of himself and his siblings. "But we certainly got the whole indoctrination and brainwashing in school." Sixty years later, the creator of comic book characters like the R-rated Fritz the Cat and the bizarre Mr. Natural has finally put that religious training to good use. "The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb" was published last month, and on Oct. 24 the stunningly detailed, beautifully crafted black-and-white drawings that comprise its 201 pages will go on display at Los Angeles' Hammer Museum.

EDITORIAL BOARD Efficient education program helps students and community The School of Education recently announced its plans to switch from a five-year degree program to a four-year degree program that would include a teaching certificate. The Kansas Department of Education should approve this plan. It will benefit not only students in the school, but it will help Kansas as well. The proposed plan has many positive effects including creating a more efficient degree program and saving students a fifth year of tuition. This change would also draw more students to pursue education degrees and ultimately increase the number of qualified teachers available to the community. Steven White, chairman of the department of Curriculum and Teaching declined to comment because the plan has not been finalized. Currently, students participate in a full fifth year of student teaching beyond their degree to receive their teaching certificate. The proposed plan will this mandate provisional "From what I understand, they will still be offering the five-year plan for people interested in pursuing their masters," said Ashley Stickler, Overland Park sophomore who is currently pursuing a degree in elementary education. "They are supposedly condensing it and putting the volunteer work in your earlier years." "The transition might be a little shaky," Frederick said. "I see it being a source of some confusion and frustration." Amanda Frederick, Lawrence senior, said she acknowledged both positive and negative affects of the change. Because the change would Frederick is currently enrolled in the five-year program and is in her fourth year, meaning the new plan is not an option for her. KANSAN'S OPINION Part of the force behind this change is the hope of a more efficient system for degree completion, according to the school's press release. This program will produce more quality teachers to not only counteract the statewide demand for teachers, but the demand for teachers in the entire country. Frederick said this will be the major benefit to the four-year program. "I think there is definitely more of a demand. We always turn out high quality teachers from the School of Ed," Frederick said. She said that doing away with some general education requirements and focusing more on individual content areas would be a benefit to students. Frederick sees a possible flaw in the amount of student teaching that four-year graduates would be required to complete. "There are some people that just don't connect with the students very well," Frederick said. "You don't really find that out to you have students to connect with. I couldn't imagine jumping straight from [classes] into teaching as a career." Even so, Frederick said she has faith in the school's readiness to prepare students. "Having less experience student teaching will be scary, but most people will probably be able to handle it," Frederick said. "I'm sure that they'll find ways of preparing people adequately in that amount of time." Focusing on relevant classes and eliminating unnecessary curriculum will allow students the opportunity to gain student teaching experience and complete the degree in four years. This is a positive change that the Department of Education should support. This plan will best facilitate the realistic needs of the community and the University students.

HI THERE! 2009 DEFICIT: 'S JUST LIKE THE '08 DEFICIT . TWICE OVER AGAIN NICHOLAS SAMBALUK STATE Education in need of solutions For fall break I took a brief trip back to a world of college applications, PSAT prep and worry about the future. Not intentionally — I visited my high school to see my old teachers, who I now count as friends. And it was hard to ignore the theme in classrooms of juniors and seniors this time of year. I even tried to convince fellow students to join me, explicating a part of the book in a column in my high school paper: "In 1999, after 20 years of research a study found that in the real world, the differences between earnings of a college graduate were more dependent upon the caliber of the student rather than the place those students went." It reminded me of my own college search, which was narrow and simple, partly as a result of an unlikely Christmas gift: "The Overachievers" by Alexandra Robbins. It's a deep, factual book — which my mom mistook for fiction Despite this, Gov. Mark Parkinson told the Board of Regents in August the University should raise admissions standards and have an overall goal of an improved national ranking. Though I don't believe in the ends (the rankings, which, according to WHAT'S THE MATTER IN KANSAS? TYLER HOLMES — that convinced me to come to the University of Kansas. "Nationally, 23 percent of high school graduates were college-ready, meaning they were likely to earn a "C" or better in college courses, according to a recent report by ACT," reported the Tulsa World. Although college admissions standards should be raised and education improved—which would occur just if remedial courses were removed —K-12 curricula must also be strengthened. Robbins, are adjusted each year to keep Harvard, Yale and Stanford on top), the means (admissions) should be changed. Robbins offers a couple ideas to start. First, delay the high school start time, switching it with those of elementary and middle schools, to compensate for the naturally later sleep cycles of teens (approximately 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Second, de-emphasize testing for deeper learning. Education should be about truly processing information, rather than a "superficial, temporary memorization of facts." The inclusion of a financial information class and the establishment of broad, pride-building projects by and for students are suggestions that could help create well-rounded individuals. The goal should be for high school education to provide students with the thinking and organizational skills needed to not only make it through life, but to also make them the kind of involved, voting citizens that Thomas Jefferson said were necessary for the "American Experiment" to succeed. Worrying about getting as many Americans through additional education should come later. Perhaps someday "It'll all turn out," just as Michael Buble sings in his latest single "Haven't Met You Yet." But when it comes to finding real solutions, we "haven't yet." With the emphasis on testing at both the K-12 and university levels, we haven't even begun to try. Holmes is an Overland Park sophomore in political science. @ KANSAN.COM Check out Tyler's blog at Kansan.com/weblogs/ whats_matter. STUDENT LIFE Date rape's demise It's not a secret that many college students enjoy a night out with friends, and that those nights usually include some form of beer or liquor. Alcohol is always something that needs to be consumed responsibly, but what if there's something in your drink you didn't intend to be there? Something that could leave you vomiting, confused or without control of your actions? Luckily, particularly for the ladies, there are recent products that make testing for any suspicious liquids in your cocktail easy and convenient. Date-rape drugs have caused fear, humiliation and dangerous situations for many individuals simply trying to enjoy a night out on the town. Often, victims aren't even sure if they were drugged or if they just had a few too many drinks. Dr. Yvonne Fulbright, a "sexpert" for Fox News, said on her blog that common side effects of date rape drugs include black outs, amnesia, nausea, nightmares, headaches, muscle pain and even hallucinations. The good news is that everyone has the opportunity to remain out of harm's way. There has been an increased use of cocktail condoms, drink covers that protect bar-goers from unknowingly being drugged, according to ABC News. Each cover costs less than ten cents to make and provides protection for anyone who momentarily leaves his or her drink unattended. Drink coasters at several North Texas bars are now being used to test for common date-rape drugs, according to the Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC affiliate. Each coaster has instructions for the test and colored dots in the corner. By splashing just a drop or two of the suspected drink on the dots customers, and bartenders immediately know if the drink is spiked. The dot TOPICS OF RELEVANCE RICHELLE BUSER BUSER on the coaster will change color if the liquid contains gamma hydroxybutyrate (better known as GHB) or ketamine, two common date-rape drugs. The coasters are available at 7-Elevens for about 40 cents each, according to Time magazine. The product has been a success in Britain and is expected to launch in Australia, the United States and popular destinations in the Middle East. The lip-glosses may also soon be available in vending machines and bathrooms at bars and nightclubs. For ladies who value their appearances as much as their safety, the British cosmetics company 2LoveMyLips has created a lip gloss that doubles as a date-rape drug tester. The lip-gloss contains a pink taper that can be easily dipped into a drink to test GHB and ketamine, according to The Herald Sun. These new inventions are a valuable form of protection for anyone who consumes alcohol, but being prepared is always the best way to avoid a daterape drug situation. Stick with your friends, never leave a drink unattended and if someone buys you anything, make sure you see the bartender pour it. By being aware of your surroundings you can enjoy an evening out on the town without distress. It may not hurt to have an extra-special coaster with you, just in case. Buser is a Columbia, ill. senior in journalism BLOG: GREEN MY GUY As is with all processed foods, the ingredients list was a medley of words I couldn't pronounce. In your average grocery store, two kings rein over the meatless meat freezer: Boca Foods and Morningstar Farms, each with a loyal fan base. Though both boast of meatless burgers, chicken and breakfast entrees, the taste and composition of their food is quite different. Veggie burgers are new mystery meat — words such as disodium guanylate, nicotinamide and thiamin mononitrate. Yet in choosing processed food, these mystery ingredients are an unavoidable part of the package While I'll leave the taste testing to you, I took a deeper look into the Boca and Morningstar Web sites to learn more. Both companies revealed that the soybeans used in their products are likely from genetically engineered soy plants. However, for consumers who prefer to stay away from genetically engineered products, both companies provide "organic soy" products, which do not contain GE soy. In figuring out the mystery behind the mystery meat-less, I've realized how easy it is to search the Internet to find answers. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to contact those companies or talk to those farmers, ask a few questions and figure out your food. The answer: Soy-based diets use half as many environmental resources as meat-based diets, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Then how about all the processing? Though veggie burgers provide an alternative to meat (a source of environmental problems), are the veggie burgers themselves eco-friendly? In this food showdown, the veggie burgers have triumphed. Yet figuring out what foods are healthy, environmentally friendly and delicious can still be quite an Omnivore's Dilemma. Do you pick organic or local? Natural or fresh? Meat or meatless? Sometimes you just want to throw in the towel and hit up Subway. — Janie Chen is a junior from Olathe. Her sustainability blog can be read at www.greenmgyuy.worldpress.com.

Last weekend's games marked the third time this season that coach Mark Francis has switched his starting goalkeeper. It's a result of the tight competition that started during preseason between Hanley, a senior, and Liebetrau, a redshirt freshman. "I don't think either one of them at any point has made that spot purely their own to where the other hasn't been able to challenge them," Francis said. Aside from an injury her junior year, Hanley has started for the Jayhawks since halfway through her freshman year. But it was Liebetrau who began this season as keeper. Hanley was recovering from an illness and an injury from the summer, so Liebetrau received the first playing time of her career. For Liebetrau, it was a moment she had long looked forward to. E "I was really excited," she said. Follow Joel Petterson at twitter.com/ j_petter. "With not playing at all last year, I was really anxious to get out there and play in a game." With Liebetrau as goalkeeper, the team started 5-0 in non-conference play. But Hanley earned the spot back in the third week of the season and kept it for the next eight games, when the team went 3-4-1 entering Big 12 play. "She beat me out fair and square in the preseason," Hanley said. "I think I slowly started playing the way I was able to." Hanley would continue to start this Friday against Nebraska. "It's really been week-to-week," he said. "One of them will have a really good week in training, and the other one maybe not as good." "I don't think either one of them at any point has made that spot purely their own." With the spot up for grabs each weekend, both goalkeepers have been working extra every day before practice. For Liebetrau the focus has been improving her foot skills and her ability to read games; Hanley has concentrated on improving every area of her play MARK FRANCIS Soccer coach "It's just a battle," Liebetrau said. "I love it. It's a good thing; it pushes both of us to work hard." 4 5 0 7 8 9 10 But the inconsistency each week has taken a bit of a toll on the players. It's certainly an adjustment from last year, when Hanley started all but one game for the Jayhawks. "If you're playing one week and not the next, from that aspect it can be a little frustrating and difficult," Hanley said. The competition stays on the field for Hanley and Liebetrau. Senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley punches away a shot attempt from a Rhode Island player during the second half of a game earlier this season at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Hanley and Katie Liebauer have been competing for starting goalkeper since the beginning of the season. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO though. Liebetrau said they have remained good friends and encouraged each other. goalkeeper swapping hasn't had a huge effect, senior Estelle Johnson said.

Intramural dodgeball begins its season this week. Teams held meetings Tuesday and games begin Sunday. Kyle Kimura, Overland Park junior, said he and his team, the Febreezeers, definitely play dodgeball just for fun. "But I'm sure we'll get competitive once the season gets going," Kimura said. t For some people, playing dodgeball is a way to bring back nostalgic feelings about playing the games as kids. Jobe Buehler, Bonner Springs junior, said dodgeball was one of his favorite sports growing up.

LOUIS — Woes at wide receiver prompted the St. Louis Rams to trade starting linebacker Will Wetherspoon for an Eagles backup with no career receptions.

"I'm going to The second-year wide receiver didn't practice Wednesday while restricted to off-field drills, but expects to be ready.

The best receivers, you're always going to have obstacles." Avery said he's been experiencing sharp pain when he tries to stretch out on a route but expects daily massages to reduce that. Whether or not Avery plays, the winless Rams (0-6) will go with an inexperienced crew at wide receiver against the Colts (5-0). Keanen Burton (17 catches) was a fourth-round pick last year, Danny Amendola (nine catches, 24-yard kickoff return average) has been with St. Louis a month after getting signed off the Eagles' practice squad and Tim Carter (one catch) was re-signed last week after being among the final cuts before the season opener. Brandon Gibson, acquired from the Eagles for Witherspoon and a fifth-round draft pick next season, fits right in. He holds career records at Washington State for receiving yards (2,756) and touchdowns (17) but lasted until the sixth round of this year's draft after a dropoff his senior season in college. "He's definitely got some ability," quarterback Marc Bulger said. "He's still a rookie, too, so there's a huge learning curve he's going through right now. Hopefully he can help us later in the year." Buried deep on the Eagles' roster, he played in Week 3. Given Philadelphia and St. Louis run similar offenses, there's a chance he could dress on Sunday. Bulger insists the self-inflicted position shortage has not been a frustration for him, even though he's directing an offense that averages an NFL-low nine points per game.

His coach noticed that McDougall, 6-foot-2, wasn't getting any taller. He also saw similarly sized players, namely Malcolm Jenkins from Ohio State, being drafted to play safety in the NFL. His coach said that if he wanted to play in the league in the future, it was probably going be at defensive back. So McDougald saw a change from wide receiver to defensive back coming sometime in his career, but he didn't necessarily think it would be his freshman year. Originally committed to Ohio State, McDougald rescinded his commitment primarily because coach Jim Tressel wanted him to play defense only. He came to Kansas to play receiver. "I felt if I was going to make a big impact on the team it was going to be on the offensive side of the ball," McDougald said. "I felt that my body was physically ready to be an offensive player" "He said the offense was going well and he didn't want to take anything from me from the offensive But coach Mark Mangino called McDougall into his office a few weeks ago and asked him what he thought about a moderate change. t Follow Clark Goble at twitter.com/cgoble89. side of the ball, but he wanted to maybe add on a little bit of defense and see how that worked out for me," McDougal said.

"Everybody is throwing the ball around and spreading the ball around, so I don't care who you have on defense. In the Big 12, there are just not a lot of low-scoring games anymore because the style that is being played is utilizing the entire field." "I felt if I was going to make a big impact on the team it was going to be on the offensive side of the ball." His practice time is now spent 75 percent on offense and 25 percent on defense, but each practice brings more defensive work. McDougald still considers himself an offensive player for now. For the season, McDougold has caught 21 passes for 226 yards. Mangino said the move comes out of necessity, a stopgap for a leaky defensive secondary. He also praised McDougald's skill sets for both sides of the ball.

Bowen is trying to keep the defense as simple as possible at first. He told McDougald that he would get more defensive reps as he picked up the defensive schemes better. Mangino said learning the nuances of a new position could be difficult.

They'll go for their third World Series title beginning next Wednesday night at New York or Los Angeles. The Yankees lead the Angels 3-1 in the ALCS, which resumes Thursday night at Angel Stadium. Philadelphia overcame another shaky outing by 2008 NLCS and World Series MVP Cole Hamels. Meanwhile, slugger Manny Ramirez, manager Joe Torre and the rest of the Dodgers go home after leading the NL with 95 wins in the regular season and sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the division series. After beating Tampa Bay in last year's World Series, the Phillies are trying to become the first repeat champions from the NL since the Cincinnati Reds in 1975-76. The Yankees were the last team to win consecutive titles when they captured three in a row from 1998-2000. Los Angeles closed to 9-4 in the eighth, but Ryan Madson escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Russell Martin and retiring Casey Blake on a grounder to shortstop. Andre Ethier, James Loney and pinch-hitter Orlando Hudson hit solo homers for the Dodgers, who also lost to the Phillies in five games in last year's NLCS.

CC Sabathia barely even pumped a fist when mowing down the Angels for eight innings. Even while they shined at a pivotal point in the AL championship series, the slugger and the workhorse starter seemed determined to stick to business.

LOUISE — St. Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, with doctors removing bone chips and trimming bone spurs. He is expected to make a full recovery in time for next season. Dr. James Andrews, who performed the operation in Birmingham, Ala., said that Pujols would not require ligament reconstruction. Pujols has been playing with a partially torn ligament since 2003, and reconstructive surgery would have sidelined him the first few months of next season. Pujols, 29, would begin rehabilitation next week in St. Louis and is expected to fully recover, the team said in a prepared statement. No timetable for his return has been set. Pujols led the majors with 47 homers this past season while batting .327 with 135 RBIs. He didn't homer in his final 89 at-bats after Sept. 9, a drought that manager Tony La Russa attributed to opponents' pitching. Pujols has had surgery the past two offseasons. Last season, he underwent an outpatient procedure to relieve nerve irritation that led to numbness, tingling in his ring finger and pinkie, weakness in his grip and pain along the inside of the forearm. That procedure was done by Dr. George Paletta, the team physician.

But when my plane touched down at John Wayne Orange County Airport, that's far from what I found. Maybe it was just typical teenage angst and boredom, but during my high school years I absolutely hated living in Kansas. // SEAN ROSNER, EDITOR There was never anything fun to do, and I had difficulty finding people with whom I had much in common. So when I started getting into old surf movies my junior year, it was easy for me to naively dream of picking up and moving to the beach. I'd sit at home and watch movies such as Endless Summer or Ride the Wild Surf and think about leaving the plains behind for the coast of California. It wasn't just the climate and beautiful, sun-soaked landscapes that attracted me; I fell in love with the beach-bum lifestyle and the freedom it represented. Why would I want to waste my time in the Midwest when I could just move to the west coast, live in an old beachside cottage and spend my days in the sand? editor's note // Then my senior year I got the chance to go to southern California over spring break with a school club. I couldn't wait to get out in the sunshine, explore the beaches and see the life- We spent most of the trip waiting in traffic as we traveled between Anaheim, San Diego and Los Angeles. Then on the last day we visited Huntington Beach. Finally I would get to see what California was really all about. But when I hopped off the bus I found what was essentially a shopping mall on the ocean, complete with every chain store I could think of. Where were all the bonfires and parties on the beach? All I could see were photo-snapping tourists. Even though the trip burst my bubble about what California is really like, I don't regret my days spent dreaming of the beach. I still try to harbor the easygoing and adventurous attitude of the surfers in the movies, even though I know the world they lived in wasn't real. Check out Mia's story on page 15 about her experience seeing the real people and places behind something she loved. You'll see that even though we sometimes disillusion ourselves about things we've never seen, doing so isn't necessarily a waste of time.

AT NIGHT Even though the clock reads 10 p.m., you're bursting with energy. You head to the rec to work off some excess steam, but could doing those reps and sets late at night be bad for you? Exercising at night is better than not working out at all, says Rick Sells, owner of the Lawrence Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way. Sometimes it's just about finding the time to work out. Kyle Sabatini, Topeka junior, says he usually works out at night because it fits best with his schedule. But it might be better for you to head to the 1. ___ Photo by Kirsten Hudson Night worker: Kyle Sabatini, Topeka junior, works out when he can — at 8 p.m. But can working out at night be bad for your body? gym in the morning, Sells says. Working out at night leads to eating late, which can be bad for you. Exercise increases your metabolism and burns off carbohydrates in your body. After about 30 minutes to an hour of working out, you'll get hungry. Working out in the morning, on the other hand, gets your metabolism up, which helps burn calories all day. But if you exercise late then go home and scarf down a big meal and sit around the rest of the night, you store up fats and carbs, which leads to weight gain. Exercising at night can also keep you awake longer. Working out kick-starts your metabolism, which gives you energy. That extra energy will probably keep you lying in bed, counting sheep an extra few hours after you would normally go to sleep. If you're a night owl, don't avoid the workout altogether, but try heading to the gym a few hours earlier. VERDICT: OK, BUT IT'S BETTER TO WORK OUT IN THE MORNING // KIRSTEN HUDSON that's disgusting // BAD BREATH dude. gross. We've all experienced trash-can mouth — when your breath gets so stinky you wish your tongue couldn't taste. 'But why is it that sometimes our breath smells less-than-fresh? The most common cause of bad breath is just not cleaning your teeth properly, says Kelly Miller, dentist at Lawrence Dental Solutions, 545 Columbia Drive. Food particles left sitting in your mouth and tartar and plaque buildup from not brushing can lead to this putrid predicament. Dry mouth also causes bad breath. Constant, lingering bad breath could point to a bigger problem, though — it could be a symptom of gum disease. You also better watch what you eat if you want fresh breath. Certain foods that produce sulfur-containing gases, such as cabbage, onions and garlic, cause noxious breath. If you just can't rid yourself of muckmouth, blame your genes. Certain people are more susceptible to the bacteria that cause bad breath, Miller says. To prevent bad breath, don't rely on mouthwashes — they just temporarily mask odors, Miller says. Prescription mouthwashes can reduce bacteria that cause bad breath, but most over-the-counter brands won't work. Stick to daily flossing and brushing (don't forget your tongue!) and regular dental check-ups to keep your breath smelling sweet. // KIRSTEN HUDSON Photo illustration by Kirsten Hudson Bad news breath: Offending odors can be caused by plaque buildup, dry mouth and certain foods.

Sure, Jennifer's Body might boast a half-naked Megan Fox, but why not try something a little less gimmicky when you're in the mood for a scare? Alfred Hitchcock, the legendary British filmmaker who began making Hollywood films in 1939, made more than 50 films in a career that spanned six decades. Films such as Rear Window (1954), Verrigo (1958) and Psycho (1960) earned he nickname "the King of Suspense," a title he rightly deserves for all the nail-biting scenes he's created on film. True, Hitchcock's films fall more into the "suspense-thriller" category rather than horror, but his flicks will definitely leave you with an unsettling feeling after you watch them. So rather than shell out $8 for the umpleenth installment of Saw, choose a Hitchcock film to get in the Halloween spirit. THINGS WILL PROBABLY GET A LITTLE TENSE Hitchcock had a knack for creating psychological tension in his films. In Notorious (1946), for instance, tension builds between Claude Rains, who plays a Nazi, and Ingrid Bergman, who plays his wife, when Rains discovers his wife is spying on him. The tension keeps viewers on the edge of their seat. "It's the feeling that the audience knows something the characters don't," says Kristen Soper, a Liberty Hall employee who has watched many of Hitchcock's lesser-known films. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BLOOD AND GUTS, YOU WON'T FIND IT HERE Hitchcock's films rely on sophisticated cinematography rather than unrealistic gore to shock the viewer. In fact, Hitchcock actually pioneered many film innovations, says Ryan Schirmer, Barrington senior and film buff who gravitates toward Hitchcock's technological suspense. For example, Rope (1948) appears to be shot entirely in one take but was actually done in ten, an editing feat for Hitchcock. However, not all of his films use complex film tricks to create suspense. Something as simple as showing Norman Bates' shadow through a shower curtain in Psycho (1960) is enough to chill the viewer. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU, TOO In North by Northwest (1959), Cary Grant plays an advertising executive who goes on the lam after being mistaken for a government agent. As with many of Hitchcock's films, North by Northwest takes an ordinary character and throws him or her into extraordinary circumstances. "Hitchcock took ordinary situations — like going to a hotel —and makes the story relatable," says Eric Baker, Derby senior majoring in film. "But something's just a bit off. That's what makes it so creepy." DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE ANTIHERO Hitchcock also had a knack for creating likable criminals. We like these psychopaths because they aren't the typical villains; they're charming rather than standoffish, and they, like the main characters, seem ordinary, says Maggie Allen, Liberty Hall's resident Hitchcock expert. Despite the murderous tendencies of Robert Walker as Bruno in Strangers on a Train (1951), for example, we grow to like the psychotic mama's boy, even after he kills tennis star Guy Haines' wife and threatens to frame Haines for the murder. Now that you know more about Hitchcock's films, try one of these suggestions from students and Liberty Hall employees. >> SHADOW OF A DOUBT (1943) What's it about? When her Uncle Chatlie comes to visit, Charlotte "Charlie" Newton, played by Teresa Wright, discovers he may not be the man he says he is. Why should you watch it? Made during World War II, Shadow of a Doubt contradicted ideas of evil, turning them into something ordinary. "People had this idea that evil was something faraway during World War II," says Eric Baker, Derby senior majoring in film. "But Hitchcock shows that there's still evil here at home." >> THE 39 STEPS (1935) Man meets woman. Woman is being hunted by secret agents. Woman is murdered. Man is accused of murdering woman by mysterious blonde and must go on the run across Scotland. What's it about? One of Hitchcock's early British films, The 39 Steps had a lot of film noir elements before film noir was any good, says Maggie Allen, Liberty Hall's resident Hitchcook expert. The mysterious characters and the shadowy atmosphere add to the suspense in this thriller, which was named fourth on the British Film Institute's poll of best British films in 1999. >> STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951) Why should you watch it? What's it about? Guy Haines meets Bruno Anthony on a train from Washington, D.C., to New York, and each agrees to swap crimes: Bruno will kill Guy's wife, Guy will kill Bruno's father and both men will walk away clean. Stepping off the train in New York, Guy never dreams that Bruno will take him seriously. Why should you watch it? Like Shadow of a Doubt and other Hitchcock films. Strangers on a Train presents twisted characters in a normal setting. Guy Haines, played by Farley Granger, is just a wrongly accused man trying to prove his innocence while trying to fight a mad man, says Ryan Schirmer, Barrington senior. > THE BIRDS (1963) What's it about? A quiet weekend in a small coastal California town turns into a frenzy as swarms of birds attack the townspeople for no reason at all. Why should you watch it? Why should you watch it? One of Hitchcock's most famous films, The Birds is actually more complex than it looks. Baker says. If you were to read the plot description, the film wouldn't seem like much; however. Hitcheck manages to take something that no one would think is scary — birds — and make a truly terrifying film. 5 10 22 09 NOTICE CROWNING GLORY How one beauty queen balances pageant and student life // KELCI SHIPLEY Sitting in her bedroom, this year's National American Miss Kansas squeezes her 5'11 frame onto her twin-sized bed. Her short brown hair is pulled back from her makeupless face as she brings her long legs up to her sorority's gray homecoming T-shirt. Brooke Burns, Wichita junior, isn't your typical pageant princess. She's not a 100-pound blonde stereotype of a beauty queen and she doesn't go on strict cottage-cheese diets before pageants. She's a girl who eats three pieces of pizza for lunch and keeps a candy jar of Starbursts on her shelf. Beauty pageant contestants commonly evoke ideas of perma press smiles and sequined sashes, but these competitions have evolved into scholarship opportunities, role model campaigns and events that stress the importance of community service. Unlike the Miss America and Miss USA competitions, which focus primarily on talent and facial beauty, National American Miss' mission statement describes the competition as an opportunity "dedicated to celebrating America's greatness and encouraging its future leaders." Burns describes the pageant like a job interview, focusing on communication and personality instead of swimsuit and talent competitions. The National American Miss competition includes a 30-second personal introduction, an interview and a formalwear competition, and also offers optional divisions such as "spokesmodel," which Burns will compete in this year. Burns first began participating in pageants in the junior teen division of National American Miss as a gangly 14-year-old. She says she liked the idea of boosting her self-esteem by being around other girls who were also finding themselves. "I did that one and I was hooked. It's my anti-drug," she says. After successful runs in the junior teen and teen divisions, this year Burns was invited to apply for the national competition in the miss category. After sending in a picture, three essays and a resume, she left for a study abroad program in France for the summer. On her third day in France she received a phone call from her mother, Dee, and sister, Jordan, who told her that she had been selected as Miss Kansas and would represent the state in the National American Miss competition. "I was crying and screaming in this random hotel in Paris," Burns says. Since arriving back in the states, Burns says the stress has been constant. Aside from being a political science major, she devotes time to practicing interviews, shopping for a formalwear dress and memorizing her personal introduction speech. She sacrifices football Saturdays when she travels home every other weekend to prepare, but says the commitment is worth it. Burns' mother says the competitions have helped her daughter embrace her height by learning poise and self-confidence. "I want this to be one of the best experiences of her life," she says. Dee helps her daughter by practicing interviews, giving feedback on dresses and playing therapist during panic-striken phone calls. Burns says her mom is her "team" during competitions. For the most part Burns says that people are supportive, asking for autographs or thanking her for representing Kansas. Burns meets the public when making appearances or doing community service work. National American Miss competitors are required to complete five hours of community service before the national pageant over Thanksgiving. Burns has decided to participate in a tree-planting event on October 24 to promote the competition's emphasis on going green. When she's not adorned in her tiara and sash, Burns enjoys spending time as a student, but she understands the weight of her title and influence. "I can't have people saying 'she's Miss Kansas and she's belligerently drunk in the bar.' That doesn't look good on me or National American Miss," she says. Although Burns loves the role model aspect of the competition, make no mistake that she is a competitor. Stacked away on her shelf are DVDs of past competitions, which she watches and critiques before she goes to sleep at night. She lies in bed visualizing her name being called as the next National American Miss, and driving away in the 2009 Ford Mustang that comes as one of the many prizes. "I'm not just going to experience it," she says. "I'm going to win the crown." Jp Miss Kansas Photo by Ryan Waggoner **Pageant devotion:** Brooke Burns, Wichita junior, is National American Miss Kansas and devotes hours of her time to preparing speeches for pageants, shopping for formal dresses and volunteering in the hope of representing her title well. Burns says she isn't the stereotypical beauty queen but that being in pageans has boosted her self confidence over the years. Infamous pageant interview questions gone wrong Miss Serbia at Miss Universe 2003 Q: If you could be either water or fire which would you be and why? A: "Well, I'm a human being and I don't know how is it to be a fire or a water and for that reason, I really don't have an answer to that question. I'm a human being, a girl that has emotion that fire and water doesn't have." Miss Teen South Carolina at Miss Teen USA 2007 Q: Recent polls have shown that one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is? A: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe our education like such as South Africa and the Iraq, and everywhere, such as, and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S., should help the U.S., or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so that we will be able to build up our future for us." 10 22 09 6 NOTICE ( ) ( ) ( ) wescoe wit lol.

The usual crowd of girls in stilettos and polo-clad guys packs the room, dancing and chatting. But as I turn around and walk away from the bar, something catches my eye and I no longer feel like I'm at a club. It looks more like a scene straight out of the bedroom. A girl in a short black dress slinks toward a guy sitting by himself on a bench and climbs onto his lap, straddling him. They start ferociously making out. As they grind on each other, her dress rides up, showing off her thong and butt cheeks to the entire club. Neither one seem to notice or care. I don't mind a little PDA, but dry sex on a bench goes a little far. THEN AND NOW * PDA, or "public display of affection," doesn't always resemble dry sex. Handholding, an arm around your significant other, a quick peck, a hug — these manifestations of affection all count as PDA if done where others can see. But some types of PDA are more sexual than others. When getting affectionate, how much is too much? Blatant PDA wasn't always so commonplace. In the early 20th century the only public displays of affection were related to prostitution, says Jeffrey Moran, associate professor of history. Until the sexual revolution in the late 1960s, displays of affection remained in the privacy of the bedroom. In the 1960s, couples may have enjoyed some tonguing on Wescoe Beach — but it was more as a political statement in protest of a century of sexual repression than everyday behavior. Since then PDA has slowly become more mainstream, particularly gaining acceptability in the 1980s. "You no longer had chaperones going around the high school dance separating couples with rulers," Moran says. Today a bit of PDA — and sometimes more than just a bit — is generally tolerated. Allison Decker, Olathe sophomore, says that even though she only holds hands in public, she saw couples groping each other and full-on making out in the halls of her high school. But horny highschoolers aren't the only ones getting their PDA on. BUMP AND GRIND * The sex-charged atmospheres of nightclubs make PDA feel sexy and forbidden — especially after downing a few drinks. Places such as clubs or bars are swarming with singles and will break down people's inhibitions. "People will care less if there's a couple mackin' all over each other at certain social venues," says Grant Wood, licensed clinical marriage therapist at the Resonate Relationship Clinic in Overland Park. When a couple of beers and a few shots of tequila get people feeling frisky, clubgoers can generally expect to witness some PDA. "Bars are all about PDA. People go to bars in a college town in order to get ready to have sex or hopefully find someone to have sex with," says Koren Binns, Overland Park senior. People go out not only to meet others, but also to shake their money-makers. Dancing itself can be a form of PDA. With couples groping each other to the beat and guys running their hands up girls' skirts, the dance floor is definitely a PDA hot spot, says Ali Blakeborough, Andover junior. When considering PDA you should always take your cue from the environment — not all places are so open to PDA, says Caroline Tiger, author of How to Behave: Dating and Sex. "Obviously if you're at a fancy restaurant with white tablecloths and stuffy waiters, you're not going to throw your boyfriend down on the table," she says. PDA on campus is a definite no-no. Crystal Pedram, Lawrence junior, hates seeing couples performing their own anatomy lesson in the balcony of Budig 120. She wants to pay attention to the lecture, not get distracted by their hanky panky. Sitting on your boyfriend's lap while riding the bus is also not OK. Snuggling up with your significant other in the back of the bus might be fun for you, but it can annoy your fellow passengers. "It's not a couch," says Anne Robertson, Andover junior. GET A ROOM * Excessive PDA can definitely make strangers feel awkward, but it could also affect your relationships with friends. PDA can alienate your friends not just because they find it gross, but also because it upsets them. Lonely people who long for closeness may feel hurt when their friends flaunt their relationship through extreme PDA, says Grant Wood, a marriage therapist. Watching your friends' intimate PDA creates the same awkward feeling of witnessing a couple's heated argument, says Paul Anderson, licensed counseling psychologist at Anderson and Anderson in Overland Park. "It's always weird when you turn around and your friends are making out with each other on the stripper pole at The Hawk," says Megan Gillies, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. When your friend's tongue is in a girl's mouth it makes everyone else feel awkward, says Javon Shackelford, Salina freshman. But you can't ask them to stop because that adds another layer of uncomfortableness, he says. 10 22 09 8 FEATURE ★ TERMS OF ENDEARMENT * Physical PDA isn't the only way to gross out your friends. Verbal PDA can get just as obnoxious. But for couples, using romantic nicknames such as "babe" and "hun" shows fondness for your partner. Giving your sugar a little honey: Public displays of affection can be a manifestation of a healthy, affectionate relationship. The trick is to find the right balance. Allison Decker, Olathe sophomore, likes to call her boyfriend "love," and he calls her "sweets." Using lovey language makes their relationship feel more intimate, she says. It's no coincidence that we call each other nicknames related to food. Wood says that says that using pet names like "sweetie," "honey" and "pumpkin" evoke images of goodness or sweetness. "They're just one of the little ways we subconsciously try to show each other how we feel," Wood says. Not everyone finds pet names so sweet though. Calling your man "snookums" in front of his buddies might evoke the gag reflex. Matthew Crooks, Stillwell senior, doesn't like using pet names. "They have a name for a reason. Just use it," he says. When it comes to expressing your feelings for someone in public, it's all about finding balance. Your fellow partiers might appreciate it if you limit the verbal PDA and keep the physical stuff PG-13. Or just get a room already. WHAT YOUR PDA SAYS ABOUT YOU As you swivel around on a bar stool to make out with your boyfriend at Brothers, you could unknowingly be giving away clues about your relationship. See which of the three couples below fit you and your honey. THE NEEDY COUPLE Couples in constant lip lock who can't keep their paws off of each other might actually be having issues in their relationship, says Grant Wood, licensed clinical marriage therapist at the Resonate Relationship Clinic in Overland Park. Excessive PDA could reflect insecurities in a relationship that needs touch to keep it alive. Body language cues can give away a needy couple. When couples don't walk in step with each other it could represent inequality in the relationship, says Patti Wood, body language expert in Atlanta. If one person pulls ahead of the other it shows that they see themselves as more important while one person getting dragged behind the other reveals an unhealthy dependency on the other person. Another cue that shows inequality is when a guy rests his arm around a girl's back. He doesn't hold her hand; he just puts his arm around her. Guys sometimes do this to show ownership. "It's more about possession than affection," Patti Wood says. If a girl grips her man tightly, practically impaling her fingers on his side, it shows that she wants control. "It could mean she's afraid he's not going to be faithful to her," Patti Wood says. THE HEALTHY COUPLE A healthy amount of PDA implies strength in a relationship. Couples who feel comfortable with each other understand what the other considers acceptable PDA. Healthy couples give away their affection for each other by unconsciously doing the "V position," Patti Wood says. They face each other slightly with their inside feet facing their significant other to form a "V" Couples usually do this while chatting with other people. Couples in healthy relationships also simply touch each other — but not excessively. Actions such as a hand on her back or around her waist while she rests her hand on his hip reveal a couple's ease with each other. You can also spot healthy relationships by looking for mirroring. Couples who match each other's movements, such as leaning towards each other while talking, are showing affection for each other. THE HANDS-OFF COUPLE "Normal" PDA also just depends on the couple. "Some people live their lives out loud and others just don't," says Paul Anderson, licensed counseling psychologist at Anderson and Anderson in Overland Park. When it gets to the point that the couple is completely polarized, when they're doing things such as sitting on completely opposite ends of the couch, that's when there might be a problem. Koren Binns, Overland Park senior, says she and her boyfriend just aren't touchy-feely people. They won't even hold hands while shopping. When they're out, they're out to get something done. "There's always time for affection when you get home," she says. PRE-PDA: WHEN TO PROCED, WHEN TO BACK OFF If you're on a first date or have just met someone, how do you know if they're into you? Check out their body language to decide whether to back off or move forward. GOOD CLUES: The most telling portion of the body is from the waist down, says Patti Wood, body language expert at Communication Dynamics in Atlanta. If your crush's feet point your way, even when standing across the room, he or she may be into you."Where the feet point the heart follows,"Wood says. Also check to see if the person looks relaxed. If you're sitting at a table and your crush is resting his hands on the table toward you, he's symbolically reaching out to you. When first meeting someone, you should probably keep the PDA to a minimum — handholding at the most, says Caroline Tiger, author of How to Behave: Dating and Sex. Any tension in the body is a bad sign. Crossed arms or hands could mean "back off." Also, if the person's head is pointed down and away it shows that he or she doesn't want to be talking to you, even if the person sounds friendly. BAD CLUES: If your date gets grabby, give him or her obvious hints that the PDA is not ok. If he goes in for the French kiss, give him the cheek; if she puts her hand in a place you don't want, remove it. "It's a good tactic for weeding people out," Tiger says. 9 22 09 ❤ CONTACT catch of the week // CAROLINE BLAIR our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.

His friends said she was a tease and if he chose to talk to her, he'd be making a mistake. All of their warnings were simply forgotten when Nickels and the mysterious girl, Dhyana Coil, 2008 graduate, instantly clicked. Coil went to the party that night with no intention of meeting anyone. "I was feeling pretty jaded about love during the time when I met him as a result of being hurt a lot in the past," Coil says. "I began to treat relationships like more of a game and a power play and be much more closed off." But Nickels knew that there was something more to Coil and pursued her by asking her for a date at a hookah bar. The relationship seemed permanent the night KU won the championship. She had to work late and could only check up on the game on her computer. While she was slaving away at work, she misunderstood Nickels and thought she wasn't invited to join him and his friends after the game ... and then his phone died. "So he ran about 20 blocks across town to come find me and make me feel better and tell me of course I was invited and held my hand as we walked down to Mass. Street to celebrate," Coil says. Soon, Coil and Nickels will be celebrating their two-and-a-half-year anniversary. "We're really in it for the long haul," Nickels says. "We've looked at engagement rings for fun, but we're really happy where we are right now and we're not rushing things." // HAILEY OSTERHAUS 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 Contributed photo Testing the tease.

Q: I've had a crush on this girl who I've been working with for two months now. She is very personable but kind of shy. Strangely however, I heard that she has been on numerous dates but rarely calls the guys back. I really want to ask her out and show her a good time. Do you have any ideas that might separate me from the other guys? Do you have any good date ideas that would seem to wow this serial dater? A: As Will Smith once so eloquently put it in the movie Hitch, "No matter what, no matter when, no matter who, any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom." Unfortunately for a lot of us, finding the right broom is sometimes a difficult process. What works for one man or woman won't always work for another. I do believe however that some universal qualities of attractiveness do exist. In the past I've talked about how important confidence is, but in this article I want to talk about the importance of using humor in dating. Since 1958 studies have consistently shown that college students find a sense of humor to be crucial in a dating partner. Humor is one of the first qualities listed in personal advertisements found in magazines, newspapers and online dating sites. Humor is a major turn on for both sexes. Not only has it been found to be a major component of initial attraction, but studies have shown it actually becomes more important to both men and women as the level of commitment in relationships increases. It doesn't matter if you find yourself unattractive or gorgeous, using humor will make you look both sexier and less intimidating. If your date is showing signs of nervousness, using self-deprecating humor is a great way to reduce tension and build rapport. If you don't think of yourself as a very humorous person, try to construct dates that could end up being humorous. Allow the situation to create the humor. Being involved in humorous situations will always help break the ice and reduce tension in those first and second dates. I'm not saying you necessarily need to go to an improv-comedy show, but just try to avoid dates that involve a lot of tension. For example, dinner at a fine restaurant can often times be stuffy and nerve-racking. Instead invite your date to try something new. Take a personal class with your date and learn to dance, surf, do pottery, whatever you think your date will like. Think back to all those episodes of Blind Date you've seen. Try more action dates such as hiking or biking. If all that fails then go straight to the karaoke — that always makes for a great time. Anyone who is willing to sing karaoke — whether they're good or bad — probably has a great sense of humor. By using humor you are increasing your likelihood of being desired. So many people focus on looks and grooming. We care so deeply about the car we drive and the designer clothes we wear, but the truth about attraction is that things such as confidence and humor are much more universal than clothes and cars will ever be. Forget the standard dinner-and-a-movie date and use your imagination. Be sure to have fun and always have a great sense of humor. Have a sex or relationship question?

It had all the elements of a successful party: a band, tons of people he didn't know — and two visits from the cops. Luckily, Breyer, Overland Park senior, and his housemates didn't receive the $250 fine they should have for receiving multiple noise complaints in one evening. Perhaps they escaped the fine because they lied about receiving the first warning, but Breyer attributes their good fortune to the level of respect they showed the police. "As long as you're being polite, most Lawrence cops don't really care," he says. DEALING WITH THE POLICE AT PARTIES Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Bill Cory confirms cooperation is key. "The officers are used to dealing with people who have been drinking," Cory says, "and all they are looking for is cooperation from the people at the party." As long as you tell everyone who you don't know or who is underage to leave the party once the cops arrive, you'll be fine, Breyer says. He's actually had several more parties since the incident with the police and has had no problems, he says, because they've been making sure to keep people off the porch and inside. // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS [Image of a man in a white shirt extending his hand to another person's back.] Photo illustration by Francesca Chambers Push-out at the bust-up.

Bad breath. It's the one thing that can lead to first dates never calling back, friends distancing themselves and losing that internship at the interview stage. While people may not necessarily care if your breath is minty-fresh, they certainly will if it seems like there is a carcass inside your mouth. If you are a smoker or a garlic appreciator, you will most certainly have to deal with halitosis, the scientific name for bad breath. Brushing your teeth and using mouthwash are ways to refreshen your breath but if you really want to get rid of the problem, flossing is the way to go, says Shirley Morriss, a dental assistant at Wilkerson, Saunders and Anderson, 831 Vermont St. Floshing reaches and cleans those areas where food accumulates and bacteria thrive. Also, make sure to clean your tongue, another hotspot for stinky bacteria. If it's an emergency, chewing some gum may do the trick. But you shouldn't rely on it. Gum will just cover the bad breath and not address the root of the problem. Morris says. If you diligently clean your teeth and mouth and people are still keeping their distance, your best bet is stopping by the dentist. The GETTING RID OF BAD BREATH only way to deal with chronic bad breath is by seeking professional treatment. // PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA Photo by Patrick De Oliveira Stinky salutations: Bad breath can affect you in a bad way but flossing and taking care of your teeth can tackle it. 10 22 09 12 MANUAL Hand in the life of ... // A STOCKBROKER living vicariously through others is ok with us. Take whatever you think you know about stockbrokers and throw it out the window, says Scott Kaufmann, 1983 graduate and financial adviser for Edward Jones Investments. Contributed photo First of all, "stockbrokers" don't really exist anymore. The correct term is "financial adviser" because professionals help customers manage all financial assets, not just stocks and bonds. PETER BENNINGTON Although Kaufmann graduated summa cum laude, apparently you don't have to be all that bright to become a financial adviser. The smart business students get their MBAs, become investment bankers and make a lot more money than financial advisers, Kaufmann says. "Most people in my industry, you would be surprised how low their GPA was," he says. "It doesn't tend to attract straight-A students." And financial advisers usually don't work in skyscrapers, wildly running around like Wall street stockbrokers portrayed in movies, he says. Kaufmann is the only adviser who works at his Edward Jones branch, which is located in an old shopping center at the edge of Kansas City, Kan. Big buildings located downtown are not conducive to meeting with clients. Finally, most "stockbrokers" are not sleazy, greedy scumbags who are out to steal your money. Independent auditing companies have Misunderstood. Financial adviser Scott Kaufmann says the real life of a stockbroker is much different than how it is portrayed in movies. actually ranked Edward Jones as one of the most ethical companies in the U.S., he says. He and his wife take a few trips across the world each year, but Kauimann says he built up to that standard of living. When he first began working for Edward Jones, he went door-to-door to recruit clients. When it comes down to it, Kaufmann is just a regular suburban businessman who enjoys helping people protect their financial assets. // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS get some culture // SPENCER PRINTROOM it's not all about fast food and beer pong. Fridays in the printroom at the Spencer Museum of Art are all about you. From 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., you can visit the printroom and request to see the original copy of any photograph, drawing, lithograph or other type of the 14,000 works on print the museum owns. "Part of the reason to put them away is to keep them nice," says Kate Meyer, curatorial assistant of prints and drawings, about the prints. "Part of the reason for Fridays is that they don't do anybody any good if you don't get them out." The only rules are no gum and no pens. Only penails are allowed in the "land of paper." Located just past the gift shop if you take a left at the main entrance, the printroom is easy to overlook. It looks like an office area, quite unlike the galleries meant for viewing art. Waiting for you in the printroom is Meyer, Luke Jordan, lecturer of design, and maybe a few artsy graduate students who enjoy shooting the breeze about art with anyone who will listen. You can search the museum's art collection online before your trip to figure out what type and era of prints fascinate you, or you can just stop by. Meyer's knowledge about printmaking is as eclectic as the museum's collection. She can tell you what the meaning of fruit is in different prints based on the culture and era, why artists use pseudonyms and how a print can still be an original, even if it is one of 50 copies. Meyer will spend hours telling you anything you want to know — or anything she thinks you should know — about the prints because, as she says, "Fridays are about you." // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS CROSS COURT Contributed photo Contributed photo Feast for the eyes: Butt Johnson's "Deluta del Castello di Greyskull" is one of curatorial assistant Kate Meyer's favorite works on print at the Spencer. REVIEW √ music review // KARL BLAU — 'ZEBRA' (K RECORDS) KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. "Zebra." Noun, An animal. Now, looking at that definition, you have just as much of an idea of where this album is coming from as Karl Blau did. In the first two tracks, you get acid jazz, folk rock, electronica and psychedelia, crammed into just a hair more than six minutes. All of that music in such a short space makes it hard to not only find the focus of an album, but the big picture is blurry as well. Though this album doesn't demand your attention, it somehow draws you in. It doesn't grab you by the shoulders and throw you straight into Blau's world of off-kilter sanity, but instead it takes your hand and graciously invites you in. All of the tracks have a comforting, thick bass line which walks around Blau's friendly voice and makes it easy to get lost in his definition of an album. The underlying power of all of this music is that it's very lo-fi, but feels so polished and smooth. All of the different styles and feelings combine in a way that seems simple, but is actually quite complicated. It seems as if Blau is asking the eternal question — is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? It appears that Blau's Zebra is both. While the stripes of this record are very different,very black and white,the stark differences found in the songs are so intrinsic to the album that you couldn't imagine it any other way. LOGAN NICKELS KJHK STATION MANAGER AND ROTATION DJ MICHAEL SCHREIBER movie review //'ZOMBIELAND' Zombies are great. Self-aware parodies, too, are great. Movies involving long journeys, solid action sequences and at least one badass character who is always ready with quips? Yeah, they're pretty awesome, too. One might think a movie that included all of these elements would be just grand, right? Well, yes and no. Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The movie that puts all of these bits into the blender and whirs it up in a bloody, gory mass is Zombieland. Parts of it work really well, such as Woody Harrelson's battle-scarred burt-kicker Tallahassee. He's funny, tough, quirky and just a teensy bit vulnerable. Jesse Eisenberg does pretty much what he does best as Columbus, the movie's nervous, germaphobic, rules-conscious narrator. Other parts ... well, let's just say Zombie-land isn't a perfectly blended smoothie. There are chunks. Big ones. The writing is really clumsy at times. The characters aren't very strongly established, so pre-existing relationships seem weak, and developing relationships just don't make much sense. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, as con-artist sisters, put in good efforts but, in the end, they just aren't very convincing. Little to no background is given on any of the movie's characters, which makes it even harder to care about them. This movie is super-stylish. It looks sharp and flashy, which was probably the goal. But it just feels like the writers had a great idea, thought it would make a neat movie, and churned out a script without much actual consideration for what happened beyond basic plot points or funny vignettes. Zombieland has its moments, but for the most part it just feels — pardon the pun dead. ☆☆☆ ABBY OLCESE ZOMBIELAND 13 10 22 09 Granada THE NEW HEATHERS [MEMBERS OF LUDO] meese ha ha tonka Without a Face PETER MARTIN HONOR SOCIETY Esmee Denters / Auburn Skies EMILIE AUTUMN FRI 11/6 ALL AGES - 8:00 PM BRIDGE JOSHUA RADIN SIMPLE TIMES "the new voice" - London Times with special guest THE WATSON TWINS Capitol Federal Uptown Theater 3700 Broadway-Kansas City MO the Granada 1020 Massachusetts - Lawrence, KS MON 10/26 ALL AGES 7:00 PM THE NEW HEATHERS (MEMBERS OF LUDO) meese ha ha tonka Without a Face WED 10/28 ALL AGES 7:00 PM HONOR SOCIETY Esmee Denters / Auburn Skies WED 11/4 ALL AGES 7:00 PM EMILIE AUTUMN FRI 11/6 ALL AGES – 8:00 PM JOSHUA RADIN SIMPLE TIMES "the new voice" - London Times with special guest THE WATSON TWINS Uptown Theater 3700 Broadway — Kansas City, MO WED 11/11 ALL AGES 7:00 PM CHEXELLE LIVE IN CONCERT Halestorm / After Midnight Project SAT 11/14 ALL AGES – 7:30 PM Rock!

From left to right: Writer Mia Iverson's friend and travel companion Katie, Scott Grimes (AKA Dr. Archie Morris on the show) and Mia, who travelled to Burbank, Calif., to visit the set of ER, her favorite TV show since she was a kid. Attempting to step into the world of her beloved characters and their medical dramas, she instead found a world of green-screened skylines and potato-peel snow. For about the past 15 years, I've dedicated a big portion of my free time to following, discussing and analyzing the trials and tribulations of the doctors, nurses and support staff at County General Hospital in Chicago. I was in love with ER. Growing up, I wanted Dr. Green's work ethical Nurse Hathaway's gumption, Dr. Benton's smooth surgical skills and Dr. Lewis' outlook on life. In middle school, I swooned over Dr. Kovac's accent, tried to embody Abby's courage and wept over the death of Dr. Green. Then high school came. I admired Neela's intelligence, was baffled by Ray's rocker aura and tried to wrap my mind around the various economic, political and social issues concerning health care. Then college. I knew ER wouldn't last forever; its ratings were slipping and the whispers of cancellation floated upon the pages of my TV Guides and Entertainment Weeklys. If I had any chance of taking part in the world of ER, I knew I had to act fast. First it was talk of me going to California, storming Warner Bros, and waltzing onto the hallowed *ER* set. But the idea grew, and soon I asked myself, "Why not?" After securing a travel buddy (one of my best friends, Katie), I found myself in Burbank, Calif., in January 2009, during winter break. ER would end in three months and I was there before its departure. The wind of luck swept my way. Not only did we snag the only tickets to the highly coveted five-hour tour of the Warner Bros. back lots, but ER happened to be filming that day, too. That was when I first started to freak out. ER was filming and I was there. ER was filming, which meant actors were present and I was there. ER was filming, my heroes were just around the corner, my friend and I were the only ones on the tour, and I was there, moments away from a dream come true. Shit! Katie and I shared anxious glances as the tour guide drove us past Central Perk and by where Annie and her gang sang "It's a Hard Knock Life." We passed a line of aspiring extras and got a wave from Charlie Sheen. Keeping one eye on the road, the tour guide turned to us and said to get ready. I stopped breathing and I felt my heart trying to escape from my chest. There it was, the grand view of County General. I looked past the director's tent, make up chairs and a giant fan (for fake snow) and my eyes fell upon Dr. Brenner huddled in his winter coat, acting out a scene I wouldn't see for at least a month. I imagined myself running across the street on a snowy Chicago day and giving Dr. Brenner a big fat hug, but then as I watched, I slowly began to realize that only a few feet away from me wasn't Dr. Brenner. It was in fact David Lyons, a real person, acting out scripted lines. The tour guide began to ramble off ER trivia I already knew by heart and quickly I surveyed my surroundings. I let my eyes wander up the stairs that led to the El platform and realized no train could come through there. A line of cars made loops around the set to create a traffic scene and the fan blew potato peelings over the actors to create a light snow. I looked up expecting to see the snowy, bustling Chicago skyline. All I saw was an expanse of the sunny California blue sky. I tuned back to the tour guide as he explained that everything above the El tracks is green screened to create the iconic Chicago skyline. My mood shifted from crazy ecstatic to slightly annoyed, as if the powers that be had personally tricked me all these years. To add to this, I learned that all the famous rooftop scenes were filmed in an abandoned parking lot with green screens encircling it. I didn't want to know anymore, because in my mind the people of ER went up to that roof. That roof served as an escape. Lucy threw off dollar bills to give to the homeless and Carter took up a paralyzed boy to throw paper airplanes. Noticing my change in mood, the tour guide playfully ordered Scott Grimes (Dr. Archie Morris) to come over and talk to us. My spirits lifted instantly. As he walked to where we were standing, I frantically tried to think of something smart or witty to say. I came up with a high-pitched, giggle-induced, "Hil!" He laughed. I ended up talking his ears off as Katie stood behind me, speechless. He jokingly asked her if she was a Grey's Anatomy fan, which she is, and guilt faced, Katie turned beet red. Here he was. Dr. Archie Morris in the flesh, talking to him, an ER fan from Texas. All these years I hoped and dreamed this day would come because up, ER was the one constant in After his departure, we were escorted to stage 11—the recently dedicated "ER Stage." I strolled the hallways, took a quick lap around trauma 1 and took a picture at the admit desk and in the staff lounge. I found the elevators and ventured toward the stairs that would lead to the rest of the hospital but only found a dead end. The stairs led to a small wooden platform overlooking the stage It wasn't the ER I knew. Four months later, I curled up on a couch to watch the series finale. I looked back at my amazing experience and couldn't believe I accomplished something I had only dreamed of. But as the last scene began to unfold and the camera began its slow zooming out of County General, I shut out the memories of my visit. Instead, as the El tracks entered the screen and a train raced by against a Chicago night, I allowed myself one last time to revel in the existence of ER Jp 15 10 22 09 WEEKLY SPECIALS Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Legal Services for Students and the UDK urge students to be responsible: use SafeBus or SafeRide!

Donnelly is one of 11 graduate researchers nationwide to receive this American Chemical Society fellowship. Researcher's dedication pays off Cancer studies hit close to home for medicinal chemist BY MEGAN HEACOCK mheacock@kansan.com Alison Donnelly has never had cancer. She's never had to recover from chemotherapy or undergo biopsies. But for the past three years, she has been at war with the disease, working to expose its weakness and bring it down for good.

A third-year medicinal t Follow Megan Heacock at twitter com/meheacock. chemistry doctoral student from Grand Island, N.Y., Donnelly is being rewarded for wreaking havoc upon the second-deadliest disease in the world. She is one of 11 graduate researchers nationwide to receive a $26,000 fellowship from the American Chemical Society to research cancer. For three years, Donnelly's battle against cancer stayed within the lab. But last fall, it became personal. Donnelly's 18-year-old sister, Becky, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Within a few weeks, the doctors had to remove one of her ovaries, as well as a tumor estimated to weigh between nine and 10 pounds. Alison's vast knowledge of the disease had perhaps never been more needed on a personal level. "I think a lot of my family came to me just because I'd been working on it for so long," she said. "So, the doctors would tell them something, and I would try to help translate." Her father, Thomas, would call her with questions about the information given to him by doctors. Becky said she wanted Alison there more for emotional support. "I did my own crazy, independent research online, finding out about my own condition," Becky said. "But she was definitely a resource for the family, in terms of 'What were the doctors actually saying?'" Donnelly never had a trace of cancer in her family. A healthy and active 25-year-old, she studied cancer because it had been an interest in her undergraduate studies at Case Western Reserve University. While at Case Western, in Cleveland, Alison majored in chemistry and modern languages and literatures. It was there she focused her ambitions on medicinal chemistry. "I was always interested in organic chemistry," she said. "It's only so much that you can make molecules. But for what? The idea of medicinal chemistry was a draw for me because it's making molecules with a purpose." assignment given to her daughter when she was in middle school. The assignment was one most people have experienced in one form or another: What do you want to be when you grow up? Donnelly's interest in cancer preceded her little sister's illness. Early on, Donnelly's family knew she would dominate a chemistry lab some day. Her mother, Martha, said she could recall an Donnelly, a seventh grader at the time, wrote that she wanted to be a clinical pharmacologist. "One of her brothers might've said he wanted to be an astronaut or a physicist or something," Martha said. "But here she's in the same field. She's in pharmacology and medicinal chemistry. So, it's pretty incredible that she knew that back then." Donnelly said she credited a lot of her success to her boss and mentor, Brian Blagg, associate professor of medicinal chemistry.

The Institute for Policy & Social Research held its annual Kansas Economic Policy Conference, "The Kansas Economy: 2015," yesterday in the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union. Participants discussed the future of the state's economy following the recent economic decline. Last year, the conference focused on health care reform. "We address issues that relate to policymakers, academic and the business community in Kansas," Donna Ginther, director of the Center for Economic and Business Analysis, said. Ginther, who is also a professor of economics, spoke about the changes in population, employment and education and, more specifically, how those changes have affected and will affect the job market in Kansas. Caryn Woods, Lake Winnebago, Mo., is a second-year graduate student in urban planning who attended the conference with a particular interest. "I study two different things in urban planning — sustainable development and housing development — so this kind of centers on both my interests," Woods said. "One is the housing crisis we've been having, particularly in interest to the economy of Kansas and what that's going to do to housing and low-income families."

He first became aware of the possible sale of the building to the developers of the Oread Inn in 2007 and decided to do what he could to try to save it. He had previously put a Lawrence house on the register and decided to do the same for the ECM in order to make sure it would be preserved. "The ECM has always had events that had felt comfortable and familiar to me," Harper said. "I've always appreciated the building, of what it represents." Thad Holcombe, campus minister for ECM, said the ECM local board has owned the building for about a year and a half. Previously, it had been owned by the United Presbyterian Center. Holcombe said he was at a downtown hardware store when he was approached by Harper to begin the process of putting the building on the register.

Associated Press CRIME Morningstar agreement involves fine, drug tests Junior guard Brady Morningstar has entered a diversion agreement with the District Attorney's office in his DUI case, according to court records. According to the diversion agreement, Morningstar agrees to pay a $500 fine, $298 in court costs and $150 in diversion costs. The agreement also lists special conditions of the agreement. Morningstar agreed to: Abstain from the use of alcohol or drugs, and submit to blood, breath or urine tests. - Complete an education course dealing with drug, alcohol and traffic issues (Midwest Victim Impact Program). If he adheres to all the terms of the agreement for a period of one year, the charges against him will be dismissed. - Refrain from driving "in violation of any suspension or restriction" of his license, although the agreement did not indicate that his license would be suspended or restricted as part of the diversion. Morningstar was arrested early in the morning of Oct. 3 by the Kansas Highway Patrol while he was driving on I-70 just outside of Lawrence. Morningstar was charged with one count of suspicion of DUI and reieased on a $250 bond. Head coach Bill Self later suspended Morningstar for the team's first semester games. Morningstar signed the diversion agreement Oct. 16 and the District Attorney's office filed a motion to suspend all proceedings related to the case Oct. 19. Court records indicate the arresting officer observed Morningstar traveling at 78 MPH in a 70 MPH zone and crossing the shoulder line. The officer detected an odor of alcohol on Morningstar's breath, who later admitted to "consuming a few beers." Morningstar completed a field sobriety test, and the officer said each test included an "indication of impairment." Morningstar agreed to a preliminary breath alcohol test, which indicated that he had a BAC of.171, more than twice the legal limit. In a breath alcohol test completed shortly thereafter for official evidence, Morningstar was found to have a BAC of.144.

J THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY OCTOBER 23, 2009 NEWS 3A CANCER (CONTINUED FROM 1A) in the lab supervised by Blagg. Blagg was also recently recognized nationally for his work. He received the 2009 David W. Robertson Memorial Award, which is given annually to scientists under the age of 40 who have made substantial contributions to medicinal chemistry. Blagg has been a key player in Donnelly's research, which involves targeting Hsp90, or heat shock protein 90. Cancer cells rely on this protein to proliferate. Although Hsp90 inhibitors exist in some drugs, Donnelly's research, and the research of everyone in her lab, will target the protein in a unique way that wouldn't exhibit the side effects of known Hsp90 inhibitors. Donnelly said it that they would be inhibiting cancer through a novel mechanism. Donnellly had applied for the medicinal and organic chemistry fellowships, both highly competitive and prestigious awards. After she didn't get the medicinal chemistry fellowship, she said she had assumed that was the end of it. A few weeks later, she was sitting at her computer, munching on a granola bar when the e-mail saying that shed been selected to receive the one of the ACS Division of Organic Chemistry Graduate Fellowships came. Donnellly laughed when she recounted Blagg's reaction to the news. She said his complete astonishment at the news she had received the award was almost insulting. Blagg said his shock had more to do with Alison applying for an organic chemistry fellowship as a medicinal chemist. He said fewer than five medicinal chemists had received organic chemistry awards in the last 20 years. "I was shocked because, for some reason, medicinal chemistry is considered like the stepsister of organic chemistry," he said. "And they don't really give any of these organic chemistry awards to medicinal chemists." A year has passed since Becky's diagnosis. She underwent a second surgery and more biopsies in the months that followed to determine if chemotherapy would be necessary. Two days before Christmas, the Donnellly family received the news that Berky was cancer free. "Best Christmas present ever," Becky said. When complimented on her research, Donnelly is quick to say she is not the only one doing it, but rather, she's the only one that applied for the fellowship. Blagg said Alison got the fellowship through her own performance, citing her outstanding letters of recommendation, work ethic, tenacity and insight. He said her motivation was one of her greatest attributes. "There are a lot of things that students can be taught in class and with textbooks," he said. "But ambition is one that's kind of inherent in the individual. She seems to have quite a bit of it." Edited by Lauren Cunningham Third year medicinal chemistry doctoral student Alison Donnelly works in the lab as part of her cancer research. Donnelly has never had cancer herself, but her sister Becky was diagnosed last fall. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN ECM (CONTINUED FROM 1A) of Lawrence Modern, which studies post-World War II architecture, said buildings needed to be at least 50 years old to be on the register. He said 50 years didn't sound like a lot, but it represented a time when architecture changed. "We started using glass as walls. That was different from any other type of architecture before World War II," Harper said, "I just think it's a beautiful and important building that represents that era in a significant way." Jason Hering, Hutchinson senior and member of the Student Leadership Team at ECM, said the historic site designation should work to draw attention to ECM's renovation efforts. The ECM is looking to raise $832,000 to make renovations such as replacing its kitchen, windows and repairing a central air conditioning system that has been broken for decades. Holcombe said ECM hosts more than a thousand people every month. "Our heating system has never been updated for 50 years." Holcombe said. "We used to have air conditioning until the '60s." Hering said that students were helping to design what the renovations should look like, and that ECM also produced a video in its pitch to be placed on the register. "That will help the overall thing to try to explain that it's not just like a church organization," Hering said. "This is a center for a lot of radical thought that's happened on campus and around Lawrence."

EDITORIAL BOARD Domestic partnerships deserve equal benefits Partners of KU faculty ano staff members in domestic partnerships do not receive benefits equal to the spouses of KU faculty and staff members who are married. This is not only discrimination, but it is detrimental to the University because it could cause a loss of exceptional professors and staff. A change needs to be made, and the Faculty Senate's recent This new task force has been charged with looking at possibilities and barriers to providing these benefits. Co-chairman Steven Maynard Moody, professor of public administration, said the task force is moving along rapidly and should have a report out by December. "Clearly, we have a very strong statement of non-discrimination against sexual orientation." Maynard-Moody said. "But, we deny very clear benefits to same-sex couples who are engaged in a long-term relationship. We are looking into this area of discrimination." The University would not be the first to pass such a measure. The Universities of Texas, Colorado and Iowa, among others, have a policy similar to what is being discussed. An update needs to be made in order to keep up with and compete with these schools. Lori Messinger, a professor in the School of Social Welfare, and also a member of the task force, said there would be multiple advantages to providing this new policy "It would be a very big step at this University," Messinger said. "We have lost some faculty members to other schools who have these domestic partner benefits. It helps us be more competitive." Maynard-Moody said though interest in the task force has begun in earnest, many roadblocks stand in the way of figuring out just how to include the benefits for all faculty members while still appeasing the state government. Figuring out a way around these roadblocks has presented the task force with many challenges. "The faculty and staff of this University are state employees," Maynard-Moody said. "The state has passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines [marriage] as among different-sex couples, and benefits are provided only through the state. This is one of the issues that we are struggling with a bit." While still remaining in the deliberation stages, this task force has undertaken a huge responsibility for the LGBT community. For being progressive in its stance and acknowledging that a change needs to be made, the Faculty Senate should be proud of the steps it is taking to provide domestic partners with equal benefits. For Messinger, the progress being made further solidifies her personal stance with the University. "I find the University a welcoming place, I feel comfortable here as an out lesbian." Messinger said. "To be a good school, this is what we need to be doing, and I feel very good about that." Along with other benefits, this possible new policy is important to the University's future. Not only will it help current faculty members, but it will also attract new talent and give them a good reason to stay. The administration and the community should support the task force and this endeavor to end this form of discrimination. — Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON Ngambalah STOP NICHOLAS SAMBALUK NUTRITION Is honesty really the best policy? I hate to break the news, but a triple whopper at Burger King costs a whopping 1,160 calories. Thinking about running across the street to McDonald's? A comparable triple-quarter-pounder with cheese still packs a 960-calorie punch. If this information comes as unwelcome, then any potential travel plans to one of these fast-food restaurants may need to be reconsidered. In May 2008, New York City became the first city to implement calorie-labeling laws. Since then, momentum for similar laws has quickly picked up as city and state governments around the country have mandated displays of nutritional information in many restaurants. This makes it virtually impossible to remain blissfully ignorant of what exactly it means to "supersize." Though the truth hurts, the laws have been placed with the best of intentions. Health officials estimate that, because of the labels, the number of obese New Yorkers could decrease by 150,000 during the next five years. However, both junk food junkies and health nuts have met the laws with resistance. Upon first impression, it seems obvious that more awareness on the nutritional information of food items would result in a healthier populace. Seventy-nine percent PURSUIT OF HEALTHFULNESS EMILY MCCOY of people are in favor of calorie postings at restaurants, saying that more information leads to smarter choices, according to a survey by MSNBC.com. The labeling laws are held back from reaching their potential by a key paradox. In most cases, only restaurants with 15-plus locations around the country are required to post information. This mainly includes fast-food chains. Unfortunately, the typical customer at many of these places is not usually concerned with nutritional information, whether obviously posted or not. What government officials fail to realize is that the obesity crisis is about more than simple numbers. To truly impart change, the behaviors of an entire country need to be addressed. This takes more than posting dauntingly large calorie counts. The average customer actually ordered slightly more calories than before the calorie labeling three months after the New York City law went into effect, according to a study published in Health Affairs, a medicine and health care journal. In an ideal world, everyone would be responsible enough to educate himself or herself on the importance of nutrition. This unfortunately isn't the case. The truth is that there will always be people who don't care about the saturated fat in an order of fries. So who pays the consequences? What about the people who view eating out as an experience to enjoy or as a reward from an otherwise healthy diet? For these people, calorie postings mean that a little bit of the pleasure of food is stripped away. It is difficult to enjoy a treat — emphasis on "treat" — in the comforts of oblivion when its nutritional information can't be ignored. I believe that there is some merit in calorie labeling laws; if they are able to inspire even a few people to make healthier dining choices, then something positive has been accomplished. Even so, food is about more than numbers. It's about nourishment, enjoyment and — occasionally — a little bit of indulgence. McCoy is a Lincoln, Neb., sophomore in journalism. Spare a beer, save a life Let me present to you a bit of information, which I hope you'll take a moment to consider. This statement remains as true today as it did a dozen years ago when it was first written. In the introduction to his remarkable book "Living High and Letting Die," New York University Professor Peter Unger writes, "If you contributed $100 to one of UNICEF's most efficient lifesaving programs a couple of months ago, this month thered be over 30 fewer children who, instead of painfully dying soon, would live reasonably long lives." - the cost of a beer or a Big Mac - you can save a life. You can and you should. Unger's observation is a call to action, and contains within it an implicit answer to the fundamental moral question regarding what, if anything, people owe each other. For three dollars But heck, these are the facts. Unger explains that millions of children die annually from easily preventable diseases. For example, everyone who suffers from untreated dehydrating diarrhea could be saved with a treatment of oral rehydration salts, which, according to his estimation, cost only a few dollars. By now you may well have concluded that this sort of solicitation is trite and annoying, similar to some late-night infemorial assailing you with pictures of emaciated children wandering listlessly through a filthy slum in some impoverished, fly-infested corner of the world. Making people feel guilty seems to be a thoroughly distasteful way to get them to do something. It's self-righteous moralizing, too. I'll be the first to admit that after I read Unger's book, I didn't send any money to UNICEF. I had to buy groceries and pay rent — not to mention the beer. But it made me think: Why do I care about those luckless kids on the other side of the planet? THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON DANTHOMPSON On the other hand, there are many good arguments for why we should be concerned with the well-being of others. One that I find particularly well-reasoned and compelling was made by the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant. In his view, our duties to others respect no boundaries because each of our lives is an accident of birth, a result of genetic lottery. There's nothing wrong with a bit of rational self-interest, right? I, too, read "The Fountainhead" in high school. But such blatant disregard of others' various misfortunes, brought on by no fault of their own — as is presented in the book — has always struck me as somewhat odious and self-serving. For example, it is sheer happenstance that I was born in prosperous America and not as an AIDS orphan in the slums of Harare. At the very least, those of us lucky enough to have been spared the myriad evils of poverty, disease and insecurity should keep in mind our tremendous good fortune and consider giving up just a little bit — just one beer — to save a human life.

In fact, I think we could all learn from this carefully selected appointment of such high honor. Yes, I have the ability to effectively communicate with colleagues, faculty and individuals at all levels of the administration. I am an energetic and interactive public speaker, a skill certainly associated with many college graduates. My writing is skilled, articulate and persuasive. I think the University of Kansas should award me a Bachelor of Arts degree — today. Why not? It seems highly probable that I'll graduate. My grades are excellent, I'm taking a steady number of hours each semester, and most importantly, I have excellent communication skills. Of course, I have yet to complete all the necessary requirements to acquire a four-year degree, but certainly I'm showing the potential to do so. And if the president is awarded for having these communication skills, why can't I have my degree or senior management position? Furthermore, I'd really like that job as the operations manager for the Athletics Department. No,' I haven't demonstrated any ability in leading effective teams committed to goals or proven my ability in fostering collaboration among team members and among teams. But I can influence people. I can assert ideas about mobilizing to take action. I believe I have the ability to encourage and empower others to achieve, creating enthusiasm and a desire to excel.

Good friends, opposite sidelines NCAA FOOTBALL BY CHRISTALBOTT Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. — It used to be Dan Mullen's job to build Tim Tebow up. Now, the Mississippi State coach's task is to tear down the Florida quarterback. Such is life in major college football when good friends don different team colors. "We were close," Tebow said. "I don't think it was necessarily that tough (losing him). It was because we missed him, we wanted him here. But at the same time, I knew that he wanted a head coaching job. He wanted that next goal, that next task, that next thing that he could go out there and accomplish, and that was being a head coach." With Mullen as his offensive coordinator, Tebow led the Gators to two national titles and won the Heisman Trophy. While coaches and players spend a lot of time in each other's company, they're rarely friends. Players come and go it's a coach's job to get the most out of them while they're on campus. Mullen and Tebow, though, are buds through and through. Their families are close. During the off-season, they picked up the phone to catch up. And though both are consumed with the trials of football season right now, they do find KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing SALE announcements * * * * * * * * * : * : FOR SALE Laser Printer $110!

"I've always kind of had those kind of guys that really want to spend extra time in the office trying to become better players. That kind of where it went," Mullen said. "For Tim and I, Tim is one of those players who wants to be the best he can be, so he would spend as much time around as he could, trying to learn. And when you spend that much time together, obviously you get a great relationship." The odds of Mississippi State knocking off the No. 2 Gators (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) are long. But the Bulldogs (3-4, 1-2) think that close relationship may help them. Mullen didn't really get to know Tebow until the top prospect finally committed to the Gators. Another coach was assigned to recruit him and Mullen entered the process late. "No one knows Tebow's weaknesses better than coach Mullen does," defensive back Maurice Langston said. "If anyone is going to be able to break him apart it's going to be coach Mullen." "We were there Sunday morning," Mullen said. "LSU was pulling in the driveway as we were leaving and then Alabama was going to be there all day on Monday. He was making his decision on Tuesday. I know it was pretty tense because he was the quarterback of the future and as you look right now he was a guy that had to come in and be the guy right away." Mullen only had two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster at the time and the stakes were so high, he went to his office, locked the door and watched Tebow make the call on television. It was one of the last times Mullen's office would be locked. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound quarterback practically lived in there the next three years. "I think a lot of Tim has rubbed off on me and I'm sure some of me has rubbed off on Tim," Mullen said. "I don't know if Day 1 we were completely similar. I think our competitiveness is very similar. Tim had the opportunity to be a great quarterback and he probably felt I would do a great job developing him, so we had that great working relationship." That relationship has been so symbiotic it pushed the friends to new heights in their careers. Some consider Tebow the best college football player ever and it's hard to argue with the All-American's success. First sophomore to win the Heisman and a two-time finalist. Only player to pass for and rush for 20 touchdowns in a season. In his three seasons with Mullen, he threw for 6,390 yards and 67 touchdowns and rushed for 2,037 yards with 43 scores. "It's going to be great to see Tim because I love Tim and I'll hopefully get a chance to say hello to him briefly before or after the game, he and his family," Mullen said. "I think that would be fantastic. But as far as on the field I don't know that anybody really jumps up and down and jumps, I can't wait to see Tim Tebow on the other sideline." Now Mullen is going to try to beat the stuffing out of his friend.

While coach Amy Hall-Holt is with four players at the ITA regional tournament in Norman, Okla. since the KU Invitational Sept. 25-27. After a successful finish, including an undefeated doubles run by Dzuba and Martinez, Goff said the four Jayhawks are ready to go out in style. "We'll just go play and see how we do. We want to finish strong." this weekend, assistant coach German Dalmagro will lead the four remaining players in the home tournament. "There are a lot of good teams coming, so it's a good chance for GERMAN DALMAGRO Assistant coach "We don't have a few of our top girls,but we expect a lot," Dalmagro said. Senior Kuni Dorn, juniors Maria Martinez and Kate Goff and sophomore Alie Dzuba have been preparing for this weekend the four of us that are here to perform well and end the season on a good note" Goff said. All week the players have been training specifically to satisfy their own objectives — both physical and mental. Both Goff and Martinez said that their mental game has given them trouble in the past. As hard as they've practiced on the court, it's their heads that have hindered match victories. In order to improve, Martinez said, she needs to concentrate on every point she plays. The players also took a different approach during on-court practice.

This way they could more easily put pressure on themselves to set up for real match situations, instead of just drilling. "We made it fun and played points in a game situation," Dorn said. "It was nerve-wracking playing against your own teammates." Lazarevic lost to Kansas State, 6-4, 6-0 Dalmagro said one of the most prominent goals laid out at the beginning of the season was to gain experience from matches. For this final weekend, he hopes his players will take the skills they've picked up and put them to use. "We'll just go play and see how we do" he said. "We want to finish strong." Wilbert def.

This includes three Big 12 schools - Iowa State, Kansas State and Missouri. Other teams attending are Abilene Christian, UMKC, New Mexico and Arkansas State. UMKC is the only one of the opponents that Kansas has faced already this year. Including both singles and doubles matches, the Jayhawks beat the Kangaroos in six matches and only lost two. VOLLEYBALL Edited by Abby Olcese Rivals' match to break conference tie BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Follow writer Zach Getz at twitter. com/zgetz. t The Border Showdown will continue Saturday as the Kansas volleyball team takes on Missouri at home in a match that will break the teams' Big 12 Conference tie. Kansas is on a two-game winning streak and is 11-8 (4-6) overall while Missouri is 12-9 (4-6). Missouri and Kansas are tied at seventh in the Big 12. Missouri is also 0-5 on the road in the Big 12, and 1-6 overall on the road. Kansas went up 1-0 in the first match-up with Missouri this season, but even though Kansas and Missouri were close in the last three sets, Kansas faltered late in all three sets. Kansas could have played better in that match, sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield said. The team is looking forward to the Missouri rematch, junior outside hitter Karina Garlington said. The game is also important for positioning in the Big 12 standings, Garlingen said. "As soon as we got in the locker room (after Texas Tech), we were so amped to play Missouri," Garlington said. "It's more than just a rivalry game. There is a lot riding on it." Kansas has a good opportunity to pick up a lot of quality victories with seven of its last 11 games at home, Mayfield said. "It seems that home matches are a little easier and we have more confidence," Mayfield said. "Hopefully we'll be able to come out a little better the second half than we did the first half." While Kansas will need to do well in the second half of its Big 12 play, coach Ray Bechard said he wouldn't put a figure on the number of matches Kansas needs to win. "We're just going to take them one at a time, and do what we can to prepare for each match," Bechard said. - Edited by Samantha Foster NCAA FOOTBALL Miami team more than just a quarterback CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Jacory Harris came into this season as Miami's cover story, the quarterback who was featured prominently. was that some figured he was Miami's lone hope for success.

"I think what people have shown already, in that these coaches in our league, they're getting it done," he said. "I mean, the programs, if they haven't been elevated, they're real close to being on the verge of being elevated in a short amount of time." How could kids not be interested, Self asked, in a league that saw Kevin Durant from Texas, Michael Beasley from Kansas State and Blake Griffin from Oklahoma come through? "All those guys were the best players in the country the last three years," he said. "They may "... there are a couple others that may emerge to be in the top six players or even seven players in our league ..."

Over the past few years, the Big 12 has seen elite players, such as Durant, Beasley and Griffin, as well as a national championship in 2008. Mix those components with good coaching and smart hires by athletic directors, Self said, and the conference will continue to attract highly sought-after recruits. WITHEY SIDELINED UNTIL DECEMBER Kansas coach Bill Self announced Thursday freshman center Jeff Withey will be out four to six weeks with a knee injury. Withey will be out of practice until Dec. 1, Self said during Big 12 Basketball Media Dav at the Sprint Center. Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich appeared on the Presseason All-Big 12 team. Joining them are Iowa State's Craig Brackins, Oklahoma's Willie Warren. Oklahoma State's James Anderson and Texas' Damien James. Withey is a redshirt freshman and will not be able to play until after the fall semester because he transferred from Arizona. NCAA rules require that transfer players sit out the first semester. Corey Thibodeux Self considers all those players NBA material, not just his own. He commended each individual on their talents such as Warren's strength and scoring abilities as well as Anderson's capability to score 30 on a given night. "I think you have six pros," Self said. "I also think there are a couple others that may emerge to be in the top six players or seven players in our league that hadn't even been mentioned yet.

Stuckey said. "He's going to take advantage of you. When you play a player like that, there's no room for error." "That's just Kerry," Reesing said during Big 12 media days in July. 100328 KU Certain plays in Kansas' playbook afford receivers the opportunity to make decisions on the fly. They are some of the trickier routes to properly execute, often requiring split-second decisions amid the game's organized chaos. No Kansas player has mastered those plays, called option routes, like Meier. "The worst thing is going against a player like Kerry when he has Throughout his career, Meier has displayed the ability to find openings in defenses when Reesing decides to scramble — a knack that highlights Meier's ability to read and react. Added offensive coordinator Ed Warriner: "He can disguise what he's doing and he does a great job of hiding his intentions. Kerry, he's hard to cover as you can tell by his productivity." The key, Meier said, is quickly noticing the defense's alignment and then making a decision with no hesitation. The same theory can be applied to a baseball player attempting to instantaneously judge — then hit — an assortment of pitches. "Kerry is our go-to guy" Reesing said. "When we need a third down or fourth down conversion, I can't tell you how many times over the last few years we've hit Kerry on those big plays." Meier currently has 54 catches for 580 yards and six touchdowns. In each of his last three games, Meier has made at least 10 catches while totaling at least 100 yards. Stuckey said Meier's most glaring strength is simply his "smarts." Instead of forcing plays against "I always like to think that the best receiver is on my team. I'd put them at the top of the conference." defenses, Meier sits back and waits for the opponent to reveal a weakness or slip-up. And most times, Reesing tends to find Meier in those situations. "When you have two guys who run them — the guy who throws them and the guy who runs them — sit side by side for three years, they're pretty much on the same page with all of that." Warriner said. --the broken tackles out load while watching the replay. With the ball near midfield against Louisiana Tech last season, Reesing fired a quick pass to Briscoe over the middle. In the moment, the play appeared nothing more than a solid gain on first down. Then Briscoe started running, breaking six tackles and zigzagging across the field before scoring a touchdown. The fans in attendance counted --leaping to make a 41-yard catch. Briscoe is Kansas' big-play threat — the receiver who tends to slip by defenses for long gains and impressive scoring plays. Facing a third and 29 from Kansas' 46-yard line against Facing a third Kansas' 46-yard Colorado, Reesing scrambled, pointed down the field and unloaded a pass down the sideline. With Colorado defenders dropping deep in coverage, Briscoe somehow managed to separate himself before and four touchdowns. Warriner said that Briscoe's greatest traits are his elusiveness, both when he's attempting to get open and when he has the ball. With the ability to manipulate defenders, Warriner said Briscoe has an innate ability to "keep defenders guessing" "From the public eye, it a tough catch," Meier said. "But in Briscoe's mind and the way he sees it, that's just a routine ball for him. That's what he does best." "Dez is very explosive," Stuckey said. "He's going to be that receiver that gets you to flip your hips too early or too late. And he's going to try and humiliate you every single play." And Briscoe's most noticeable plays are the ones that occur deep down the field. Despite missing Kansas' season opener because of a suspension, Brisco leads Kansas with 671 receiving yards while ranking second behind Meier with 38 catches Against Iowa State earlier, this season, Briscoe made a diving catch in the end zone for a 46-yard touchdown. Last season, against Texas, Briscoe somehow pinched a pass along the side of his helmet after juggling the ball. "Sometimes the routine catches, he's dropped a couple of those through the years," Warriner said. "But when you have to go compete for the ball, he's very competitive and he attacks the ball in those situations." "Making big plays is fun and exciting and it's what you're out there for." "Making big plays is fun and exciting and it's what you're out there for. He knows those opportunities don't happen that often. And you have to make them."

The Trojans won the game 34-27. The trick play resulted in a 25-yard gain that set up Notre Dame's first touchdown. Dave Cutia, the Pac-10's coordinator of officials, says a foul should have been called for using substitutions to deceive. The Fighting Irish should have been pushed back 15 yards and the down repeated.

He did say that he let officials know before the game that he intended to use the "kitchen sink" as far as plays. Associated Press Where is the love for the NBA? MORNING BREW The NBA: Where no one caring happens. For most basketball fans, the regular season doesn't start until Kansas plays Hofstra Nov. 13. But for a smaller audience, that opening day is Oct. 27, the start of the NBA season. The NBA doesn't necessarily get people ecstatic about basketball like the NCAA does, especially in a college town like Lawrence. Whether it's a lack of respect, a personal bias or the absence of a legitimate home team, the NBA is unjustifiably losing its luster. People argue all the time against professional basketball because there is a lack of teamwork and the players are just in it for the cash. The money issue is partly true — because its their job. People have jobs to make money and who can fault them for getting compensated for their hard work? The bottom line is, nobody can say with conviction that NBA players are selfish and showboaters. It is also argued that college players play as a team and play solid defense because they aren't tainted by the dollar signs. When a For the record, they do play defense in the NBA. In an 82 game season, wear and tear makes it difficult to play gritty defense all the time. Basketball is a more physical sport than some people realize. Besides, even on a good defensive day, a better offense can beat the better defense, one-on-one. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com That's where the "team" portion comes into play. Kobe Bryant knows if he doesn't get his teammates involved, the entire opposing defense will key off on him and make life difficult. As good as he is, he needs to divert defenses on others to be successful. And success is not measured in points per game. kid goes from college to the pros, does his contract also come with an ego? Depending on the player in rare circumstances, it may. But it comes with monetary security. Follow Kansan writer Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/ c_thibodeaux. College sports are great to watch. But the discrepancy between talent on some of these teams is tremendous and it makes defenses look better than they are. It's easy to blow a team out of the water when it is your age and nowhere near as skilled or athletic as your队. Join professional basketball, and everyone is big, everyone is powerful and suddenly you don't look so dominant. Of course, there are beasts straight from college making an impact in the NBA such as Derrick Rose and Kevin Love. But out of all the players who played in college and actually made it to the NBA, the ratio is quite small. t The NBA ratings on television are terrible, the company is negatively affected by the economy and some of the most athletically gifted athletes of all time are being THE MORNING BREW overlooked. Our generation is blessed to have the talent we have today — LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard. We need to watch these guys while we have the chance. In lieu of both college and professional basketball seasons starting up, it's time to get some school pride circulating.

SOCCER KU 10 TULSA VIRGINIA Jayhawks feed on intensity for game Kansas must beat Nebraska, and NCAA's leading scorer, for chance at Big 12 tournament BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@ku.edu The situation for the Jayhawks this weekend couldn't be much clearer — they must win. At ninth place in the Big 12, one slot behind the cut-off for the Big 12 tournament, the team doesn't have room for error in its last three regular season games. "We've got to win on Friday; there no doubt about it," said coach Mark Francis. Winning on Friday means taking down Nebraska (9-3-4 overall, 3-2-2 in the Big 12), the fourthranked team in the conference. The Cornhuskers will bring with them the NCAA's leading scorer. Freshman Morgan Marlborough has 21 goals this season — 1.31 per game — and seven goals in conference play. Weston White/KANSAN Kansas (10-6-1 overall, 2-5 in Big 12) is certainly aware of the freshman and Nebraska's high-pressure offense, which ranks third in the nation with 53 goals. "They play high-pressure up top, and they play really aggressive all over the field," senior defender Estelle Johnson said. "But we've dealt with a lot of really good forwards already, so we'll be fine." Senior midfielder Monica Dolinsky cuts a ball past a Texas Tech defender in the attacking half Friday afternoon. The Jayhawks defeated the Red Raiders 3-2 with two goals from freshman Whitney Berry and one from Shelby Williamson. Kansas also has the advantage of remaining at home this weekend. Nebraska hasn't won a Big 12 away game this year. However, the Cornhuskers will most likely be riding a wave of confidence after taking down No. 14 Texas A&M last weekend 2-1. Senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley said the defense has been preparing for Nebraska's direct style of play by focusing on long balls and crosses into the penalty area, something that has given Kansas trouble several times this year. "It's been really intense. Everybody's just really frustrated," said Johnson. The lajhawks will more likely feed on a sense of urgency than confidence. The team is in a three-way tie with two other teams at the bottom of the conference with six points (teams receive three points for a win and one point for a tie).

PAGE 1A 10 80 Photos by Weston White and Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Receivers show talent for big plays BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com E There's a hint of relief in senior safety Darrell Stuckey's voice. Nothing more than a sliver in a conversation that pulls back the curtains around two of his teammates who are, at the same time, innately similar and vastly different. Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. One is described by Stuckey as the "vertical" threat, a player who can shred defenses and defensive backs with speed and an uncanny ability to reel the ball in at its highest apex. The other is revered for his savvy and coolness under pressure. He is the "lateral" threat, a term that describes his aptitude for getting open underneath defense's coverages. Senior wide receiver Kerry Meier, the lateral, and junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, the vertical, are undoubtedly loaded with different abilities. But both players share a simple summary of their skills — one that is consistently uttered from the mouths of teammates and coaches. Big plays. "I always like to think that I go against two of the best every day." Stuckey said, noting that he's glad he only has to defend the pair in practice. "And I always like to think that the best receiver is on my team. Id put them at the top of the conference. No doubt." Tomorrow's game against Oklahoma at 2:30 p.m. represents a break in the norm. With Oklahoma perennially hauling in highly-regarded recruiting classes and top-notch players, the Sooners usually possess the most talented receiving pair on the field, especially in past games against the Jayhawks. Yet this season a strong case can be made that Kansas' duo of Briscoe and Meier enters as the most productive unit taking the field. True, Oklahoma's top receiver. Ryan Broyles, has battled through injuries. But only Hawaii has two receivers with more combined yards than Briscoe and Meier, who have 1,291 receiving yards. "I'd stack those guys up against some of the great receivers we've had in the conference," an assistant coach in the Big 12 North said. "They don't have the big names like Crabtree or Shipley but those kids are just as productive." --- Reeing rolled right against Nebraska on Nov. 8 last season.

The Jayhawks face a tougher-than usual schedule this season. ataylor@kansan.com KANSAN FILE PHOTO A change is in the air for the Kansas swimming and diving team as it travels to Fayetteville, Ark., tomorrow for duals against Florida and Arkansas. In past seasons the Jayhawks filled their non-conference schedule with duals against mediocre schools, interspersed with a few meets against more talented squads. Now, however, as the Jayhawk's begin their 2009-2010 non-conference schedule they will regularly face off against some of the best schools in the nation. Coach Clark Campbell and his staff made the scheduling adjustment to help move the Kansas swimming and diving program forward with the hope of making the program more competitive on the national level. "We took a leap of faith and decided to schedule much more difficult teams," Campbell said. The Kansas swimming and diving team will have its hands full against Florida and Arkansas as it begins this tough new t Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrewtaylor11 regimen. Last year Florida qualified 19 swimmers and divers for the NCAA championships after winning their 17th SEC Florida also fields one of the most talented backstroke swimmers in the world. Gemma Spofforth, Florida senior, is the championship. To put that in perspective, in the past five seasons Kansas has qualified only nine team members to the NCAA championships en route to no conference championships. For consecutive year, Kansas' defense is receiving a mid-season facelift. Now it's almost inarguable that such a facelift is, in fact, needed. So the fact that younger players are receiving more playing time is hardly objectionable. Neither is the increasingly less prominent role of certain veterans who, for whatever reason, don't seem to be getting the iob done. SEE SWIM ON PAGE 8A But there is a way in which this facelift may be, as the saying goes, cutting off the nose to spite the face. Alterations could work, if done right Bradley McDougald, like Daymond Patterson last year, is expected to begin receiving snaps on defense. Now whether this is a permanent move or a quick stop-gap measure is unknown as of yet. But whichever turns out to be the case, there's cause for concern. COMMENTARY Not because McDougald is an integral part of Kansas' offense, although he certainly has contributed. And not because Kansas lacks talent at the wide receiver position. It's not even the suggestion that Kansas currently lacks talent at the safety position to the degree that a receiver can step in so quickly and play, which is most troubling. The implications to this switch range beyond just one player. That's BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com because McDougal reportedly chose Kansas largely on the basis that the coaching staff promised him he would play receiver, not safety, as he could have done at more high-profile football programs. Should McDougald, like Patterson before him, see his transition to defense become permanent, Kansas could have a bit of a discontented talent on its hands. But again, the problem doesn't stop with one player. Along with the obvious things like quality facilities, winning games, etc., recruiting is about trust. Players want to know to some extent the promises made to them by coaches actually amount to something. This is especially true in the case of recruits who rate at four stars and up. Players of that caliber have options. Usually, some of those options have more football tradition than Kansas does. When Now, there is a way in which similar situations could be viewed as a positive thing. John Williams, who entered the season as a backup offensive lineman, played last week at defensive tackle, and he played well. Angus Quigley, who would be buried on the depth chart as a running back, finally saw the field as a linebacker. And of course there's the Kerry Meier story. The message here is a more positive one! Come to Kansas, where we find playing time for our best athletes. But the McDougald situation is a bit different. Again, like Patterson, he was already seeing the field as a wideout. And Patterson, despite beginning the season as a starting cornerback, saw his snaps diminish last week. His tale could wind up being a cautionary one, which is the real key. that's the case, Kansas needs every advantage it can get. Trust can be one such advantage, but a lack of it can be damming. Facelifts are serious business. They should be undertaken with due caution, lest more harm be done than good. — Edited by Lauren Cunningham 1 17 ! GAME DAY KANSAS VS.

WE ARE KANSAS BASKETBALL Fixing image starts with respect SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor "RESPECT THOSE WHO PLAYED BEFORE YOU," a sign just inside the newly renovated locker room for the men's basketball team reads. "WE ARE KANSAS BASKETBALL." These words serve as a reminder of what Kansas basketball is all about: tradition, great players, championships, and class. During the past 111 years, the Jayhawks have made the state proud by representing the University with class and demonstrating the sportsmanship and integrity that set them apart from other schools. The nation's best team didn't win in it all in 1997. The '96-'97 Kansas Jayhawks deserved to win the national championship. The players had worked hard enough to get there, they played unselfish basketball, and they represented the University as well as any team in school history. And then it happened. Arizona upset Kansas in the Sweet 16 and the dream was over. The Wildcats went on to win the national title and the Jayhawks were left wondering what could have been. My first memory of watching the Kansas basketball team came during the 1996-1997 season. The team was loaded with talent and started the season 22-0. Heading into the NCAA Tournament, the team was 32-1 and the odds-on favorite to win the national championship. but it presented a positive image that was tough for anyone to cheer against. Kansas doesn't look very good right now. No, not the players — they look great. Snerron Collins and Cole Aldrich have been picked as the preseason Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. The Jayhawks have another stellar recruiting class and are the preseason No. 1 team. But all of that has been overshadowed in recent weeks by a series of events that will stay with the program for a long time. An on-campus fight with the football team and an arrest of Brady Morningstar on a DWI charge has left national media talking more about what is going on off the courts than on it. When members of the Kansas basketball and football teams came to the University, they were told about the proud traditions that surround Kansas and the unmatched fan support that they would receive. But somewhere along the way, some players forgot what the "KANSAS" on the front of their uniforms stood for. A lot of teams can win basketball games. A lot less teams can win with class. Every time a Jayhawk basketball player puts on his uniform, he is representing the players who have made Kansas basketball what it is today: Danny Manning, Wilt Chamberlain, Raef LaFrentz, and Paul Pierce, among others. By getting into legal trouble, players are tarnishing the legacy that was built by these all-time greats. But it's not too late. The Jayhawks still have a chance to turn it around. I'm not looking forward to hearing about the fight or the reason behind Brady Morningstar's suspension every time I watch a game on TV this year, but I know it will happen. It will be an uphill battle for Kansas to clean up its image this season, but the team can do it by showing respect for the great Kansas teams of the past. We are Kansas basketball, and Kansas basketball is winning with class.

Students pry open their eyelids and bite their lips to get out of bed. Alumni gather from afar, congregating with friends and family amongst a vast sea of crimson and blue. Local policemen close streets, clearing the way for gargantuan buses. Nearby, front yards become lots, advertised by simple signs that say "Parking, $20."

Then a miracle happened and a historically paltry football team won the Orange Bowl. While there has always been a strong following for pigskin in Lawrence, regardless of record, these days something is a little different. "It's just a good feeling in the air," said Conor Taft, Naperville, Ill. freshman. Mediocrity is now a thing of the past. Instead, head coach Mark Mangino has elevated Kansas football to national prominence with top-tier recruiting and sophisticated game plans. With balanced doses of a graceful aerial assault and a bruising ground game, Kansas' offense can play with anyone, casually tallying 40 points per game.

After all, there is a reason why Kansas is now a constant top 25 force to be reckoned with — this team has skills all over the field. But as much as everyone loves a winning team, it's about more than a Reesing comeback or a Briscoe catch that makes game day truly special. For the fans of the student ghetto, the morning is greeted with an army of fans hiking uphill, ogling the stadium once reaching its peak. Others must sluggishly travel by car or bus to get past the levels of insanity on their way to the game. First, main routes like Mississippi Street are loaded with traffic. Proprietors hover on the sidewalks, holding up signs for parking and cheap tailgate staples. Lights change, but cars trudge along at a snail-like pace. There's no choice but to take in the surroundings. Once past the chaos of traffic, fans are instantly submerged in student life on intimate streets, shielded with a canopy of trees and decked houses. Sleepy-eyed students have miraculously become morning people, occupying every available space but the middle of the street with tailgating gear. "No matter when the game starts, everyone is determined to have as much fun as possible," said Michel Rousseau, Golden Valley, Minn., senior. But it's not exactly typical of college students to force themselves out of bed and beat the gradually rising sun to the streets. They don't get up because they are told to do so.

Look around the stadium's perimeter and there will undoubtedly be a group of friends huddled on a front porch, chuckling about last night's excursions, preparing for a game of beer pong. Next to the showdown is an extensive and crammed grill with fire bursting from its mouth. The chef doesn't look daunted. Outside of the yards, some make their way to the stadium in search of the perfect seat. Others are just thirst-quenching morning guzzlers, roaming like vultures hunting for their prey. On the hill outside of the stadium, distanced from the drunken youth-infested houses, mammoth white and blue tents encompass friends and families, beer and barbecue. A father and a son are playing catch. A mother and a daughter are sitting in lawn chairs applying ketchup and mustard to their burgers. A stooped old man decked out in KU gear is holding the hand of his granddaughter. Together they stroll down the hill as the old man points left and then right, describing each and every minuscule detail through the lens of an experienced Jayhawk. The young girl's head bobbles with every point and change of subject as the two approach the glorious stadium together. As fans make their way into a packed Memorial Stadium, endless lines before vendors selling hot dogs and Coke intersect upward in between the sloping zig-zags of students on their way to their seats. At the top of the stairs, the sun greets their arrival with a blinding glare. Then they regain their vision and look heavenward toward a herd of belligerent blue-shirted students. This is home. Then the home team dashes onto the field, only to be welcomed by the Jayhawk faithful with a pounding roar of euphoria and anticipation. The kickoff is seconds away and it's time for the student section to sound their jingle. Dangling car keys reflect a golden glow from the rays of the sun and chime a familiar song. Kansas kicker Jacob Brandstetter steps into it and blasts the football into the cloudless cyan sky. More than 50,000 heads tilt up and then down, following the ball until it drops into the hands of the opposing return man. This man is now a victim. The game has begun.

Colorado scored with 8:36 left in the game to take a 34-20 lead and held on for the win. Quarterback Todd Reesing completed 30 passes for 401 yards, but it was not enough to beat the Buffalooes. Reesing turned the ball over twice in the first half, once on a fumble and once on an interception. Receiver Dezmon Briscoe was Reesing's biggest weapon for the game, catching eight passes for 154 yards. Receiver Kerry Meier gained 103 yards by catching 11 passes and Jonathan Wilson had six receptions for 65 yards. Jake Sharp, senior running back, returned to the field after missing some time with an injury. Sharp picked up 29 yards on 13 carries. The Jayhawks finished with 423 yards and held the Buffaloes to 322 yards for the game. However, turnovers were costly and Colorado capitalized on several Kansas miscues. Colorado finished the game with 147 yards rushing while Kansas finished with-8 yards on the ground. The loss moved the Jayhawks to 5-1 for the season and 1-1 on the road. Kansas plays Oklahoma on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. - Scott Toland 27 ON 3 17 66 8 Weston White/KANSAN Sophomore tight end Tim Biere takes off after a fake punt throw from junior punter Alonso Rosjo.

However, Tennessee hung with Florida this season and could surprise the Crimson Tide. BOISE STATE BOISE STATE VS. HAWAII H The Broncos take a long flight to Hawaii to play the Rainbow Warriors on Saturday night. If they can avoid getting distracted by the palm trees and great weather on the beach, they should be able to improve to 6-0 and move one step closer to a potential BCS bowl. O OREGON VS. WASHINGTON The Ducks hope to keep rolling as they head north to play the Washington Huskies. USC found out that Washington can be a tough place to play at, so Oregon has to be careful. The Ducks have the inside track to the Pac-10 title, but they can't afford to lose this one. ASSOCIATED PRESS A AUBURN VS. LSU Auburn has lost two straight games after going 5-0 to start the season. LSU is 5-1 and still has hopes of winning the SEC West Division. A loss to Florida ended a streak of 32 victories in a row in night games in Death Valley, so LSU is eager to get another streak started on Saturday night. 21 Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark, left, runs with the ball as Minnesota defender Brandon Kirksey moves in during the first half of their game last Saturday in State College, Pa.

It's never an easy task to win at Michigan, and Penn State is still looking for a big victory after losing at home to Iowa. The Wolverines had lost two straight games before defeating Delaware State last week, so they will be looking for their first quality win in three weeks. Tate Forcier leads a Michigan offense that could pose some problems for the Penn State defense. The Nittany Lions would prefer to play a grind-it-out game, so tempo will be key in this one.

The Jayhawks will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for a meet against Florida and Arkansas on Saturday. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 21 THE WAVE OCTOBER 23,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE 15 IT ALL STARTS WITH THE LEADERS Three captains have the swimming and diving team headed in the right direction By Andrew Taylor ataylor@kansan.com In Perry State Park in the middle of September, various University of Kansas chants and cheers permeated throughout the otherwise serene wilderness. The voices behind these cheers were the members of the 2009-2010 Kansas Jayhawk swimming and diving team on a camping trip organized by the team captains: seniors Carrah Haley and Meghan Proehl, and junior Joy Bunting. On the trip, the captains taught all of the new recruits the pre-game rituals and chants of the swimming and diving team. "I think after the camping trip we all seemed a little more cohesive," Bunting says. Follow Kansas swimming and diving writer Andrew Taylor at www.twitter.com/andrew_taylor11 t lives," Proehl says. The captains hope that inter-team cliques will break down and everyone will come closer together as the various team-building activities continue. This kind of familiarity among the members of the team would not be as attainable without the measures the captains have taken. "When you're swimming and diving you don't really get to have real intimate conversations with each other," Proehl says. Swimmers and divers staying after practice to work on drills has also improved the overall camaraderie on By leading through example, as well as leading vocally, the captains have been able to further distinguish themselves from past captains and increase the unity on the team. "Now I'll be the first one to step up and do a new dive," Proehl says. "Showing everyone else what it takes to get up there and have the guts to do it." The level of leadership the captains have been able to bring has greatly aided the trio in accomplishing their top priority of team cohesiveness by encouraging others to step into leadership roles as well. "It carries over into other aspects of practices," Proehl says. "We try to let everybody know that just because we have the label of captains doesn't really mean that we're the only leaders." The captains believe that this has been instrumental in bringing the team together and getting "They have been awesome. We haven't had that level of vocal leadership in quite a while." Meghan Proehl, swimming and diving team captain The captains have made the team cohesiveness one of their overarching goals for the season, which officially started last Friday at the Big 12 Relays in Columbia, Mo. The team finished fourth at the meet. The topic of team unity continually surfaced in weekly phone conversations between Haley, Proehl, and Bunting during the summer following their selection as team captains last year. "We want to focus on motivating the team, enhancing the team flow, and really getting everyone on board and working hard all year," Haley says. The camping trip was just the first of many team and leadership-building activities organized by the captains. The trio encouraged everyone on the team to bring in a picture of someone extremely close to them and talk about the impact the person has had on their lives. "It's really neat to see where people come from and see what kind of struggles they've overcome in their the team. "It takes a lot for somebody to ask for help," Haley says. "It says a lot about our team and shows that we have other one's backs." One of the biggest successes of captains Bunting, Haley, and Proehl has been their vocal leadership. The captains' ability to lead vocally primarily revolves around the support and inspiration they give their teammates both in and out of the pool. "They have been absolutely awesome," Campbell says. "We haven't had that level of vocal leadership in quite a while." Proehl, Haley, and Bunting weren't able to immediately step into that vocal leadership role because it took them time to find the ideal mix of encouragement and motivation. As the season continues tomorrow with a meet against Florida and Arkansas, though, the captains have all but mastered this ability and surpassed several expectations along the way. everyone to hold each other accountable throughout their preparation for the season. "The team is great," freshman swimmer Madi Landi says. "Everyone gets along and are really supportive of each other." All of these measures taken by the captains have already started to pay dividends. At the Big 12 Relays last Friday, several swimmers were out with sickness and many of the new swimmers stepped up and helped the Jayhawks stay competitive. Specifically, freshman Brooke Brull teamed up with Bunting. junior lulia Kuzhil, and senior Erin Goetz to take a team-high third place in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:45.35. Also, freshman Lindsey Legako helped Kansas earn fourth place finishes in both the 3x100 yard breaststroke relay and the 100-yard freestyle relay. "It was good to see some people take advantage of opportunities,"Campbell said. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 23,2009 . 16 GAME DAY AT A GLANCE Kansas enters this season's gauntlet — the portion of the schedule that features the toughest competition. After losing to Colorado, Kansas finds itself in a crowded race for the Big 12 North title. A victory against one of the three Big 12 South teams on the schedule would significantly boost Kansas' chances. The Jayhawks get their first chance against the Sooners tomorrow. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior running back Jake Sharp In his first full game In his first full game since Sept. 12, Sharp carried the ball 13 times for just 29 yards. After the game, though, Mangino said Sharp's performance was a reflection of the offensive line, which failed to open holes for Kansas' speedy Sharp running back, Facing an extremely talented defense, Sharp needs a big day to keep Oklahoma's defensive front honest QUESTION MARKS Will the offensive line hang with Oklahoma's defensive line? Kansas' offensive line played its best game of the season against Iowa State two weeks ago but severely struggled against Colorado. It doesn't get easier: Oklahoma has one of the nation's most talented defensive lines. Will the defense disrupt Oklahoma freshman quarterback Landry Jones? True, Jones has already played in bigger games and in front of more hostile crowds. But he's still just a freshman. Kansas' defense needs to create pressure to attempt to slow Oklahoma's quick spread offense. BY THE NUMBERS Consecutive games in which Kansas has scored at least 30 points 96 Receiving yards senior wide receiver Kerry Meier needs to reach 2,000 for his career 17. 7 Average yards per catch for junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe 269 Receiving yards Briscoe had against Oklahoma last season 1997 The year in which Kansas last defeated Oklahoma Kansas (5-1) KU OFFENSE Kansas (5-1) The offense has easily been Kansas' best and most productive unit this season. But against Colorado, Kansas struggled for much of the first half. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing's two turnovers allowed the Buffalooes to score 14 points, while senior running back Jake Sharp rushed for just 29 yards on 13 carries. The run game must be far better against Oklaho Reesing DEFENSE Two weeks ago, after hanging on for a 41-36 victory against Iowa State, plenty of criticism and skepticism was funneled at Kansas' defense. Playing with essentially three new starters, including freshmen Lubbock Smith and D.J. Bearshear, the unit responded against Colorado. Sure, the Jayhawks weren't dominating at any point against the Buffalooes. But they managed to keep Kansas in the game, and that's the ultimate goal of any defense. A --- Smith Kansas' return games still haven't SPECIAL TEAMS made a big play Briscoe this season as neither junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe or sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson have altered the game with a return. The good news on special teams, though, is that junior kicker Jacob Branstetter connected on two field goals in Boulder, including two kicks of at least 40 yards. His longest made field goal last year was just 34 yards. PETER MORGAN COACHING Coach Mark Mangino's team certainly didn't appear sharp in the first half against Colorado: Kansas trailed by 21 at one point. But both the defense and offense responded well after halftime, actually grabbing a 30-27 lead early in the fourth quarter. Mangino has been moving Mangino and adjusting personnel on defense throughout the season, and tomorrow's game will showcase the effectiveness of those decisions. Plus, Kansas could certainly use a solid outing against a talented — but reeling — Oklahoma team. At this point, the most logical answer is to say that neither Kansas nor Oklahoma enters tomorrow's game with much momentum. Oklahoma suffered a close loss to rival Texas, while Kansas was upset by a 1-4 Colorado team. The fact that the game is being playing at Memorial Stadium should benefit Kansas. Then again, it didn't make much of a difference against Texas or Texas Tech last season. MOMENTUM Jayson Jenks 4 KANSAS Offense JAYHAWKS STARTING LINEUP Pos.

In its last two games, Kansas h sluggishly in the first half before com halftime. But the Jayhawks weren't p Sooners in those games. If Kansas star row, it could be a long day. Prediction: Oklahoma 42, Kansi THE WAVE OCTOBER 23,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1) GAME DAY 17 Oklahoma (3-3) KANSAS OFFENSE If freshman quarterback Landry Jones could PETER MAYER cut down on his interceptions, namely those that come in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma's offense would be flourishing. As is, the Sooners have been basically shut down by the quality defenses they have faced this season: Texas, BYU and Miami. But against mediocre defenses, Jones Oklahoma has scored at will. The status of Sam Bradford will weigh into the Sooners' effectiveness against Kansas, but the Jayhawks' defense has been exposed twice in two Big 12 affairs. DEFENSE Oklahoma has yet to give up a single point in the first quarter. And what's perhaps more notable is that it's given up just 10 in the fourth quarter. It's the second and third quarters that are hurting the Sooners. Their defensive line, led by juniors Gerald McCoy and Jeremy Beal, has held opponents to just 2.2 yards per carry. Their pass defense is pretty good too: They held Heisman- McCoy hopeful Colt McCoy to just 127 yards through the air. The Sooners' defense is aggressive and presents a bigger challenge than any unit Reesing and Co. have faced so far. SPECIAL TEAMS Like other big-time programs, Oklahoma'specialists Jimmy Stevens hasn't missed a field goal under forty yards this season. Freshman punter Tress Way has unleashed a 71-yard boot. However, as evidenced by junior punt returner Dominique Franks in the Texas game, this is not a seamless unit. Still. Franks is an electric playmaker with the ball in his hands and averages 17 yards per punt return. CITY OF NEW YORK Stevens It's hard to fathom that Bob Stoops has been the COACHING head coach at Oklahoma for only 11 seasons. However, Stoops is just 18-14 in games outside the state of Oklahoma since 2006. Stoops will not come out and say it, but his team had to be very disappointed in their loss against Texas because it effectively knocked them out of the national championship and probably the Big 12 championship. PETER HANCOX Stoops MOMENTUM It's hard to say the Sooners are on the upswing. They've beaten who they should have, but lost close games against their three ranked opponents. While the team might be deflated, it is still extremely talented and is probably a few plays away from being undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the country. The Sooners needed to turn around their season last week to achieve their goals, but with those goals unattainable now, they need to set their sights on winning the rest of their games. Bradley McDougald Clark Goble will cheer if... use forces Oklahoma to punt on its first tries. The Sooners are a handful, even with L players Sam Bradford and Jermaine operating a quick stop early will not only hits, but it will also prove that the defense must an offense such as Oklahoma's. y will weep if... especially the offense, start slowly last two games, Kansas has played the first half before coming alive after the Jayhawks weren't playing against the lose games.

They've lost by five total points. The defense is overly aggressive and will blitz frequently. Not that Kansas would overlook Oklahoma, but the Sooners present the toughest test of the season by a wide margin. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior tight end Brody Eldridge Keep an eye on Eldridge because he might be anywhere along the offensive line. The senior is the Sooners' starting tight end but is mostly used as a blocker. Should any offensive linemen go down with injuries, coach Bob Stoops is more than willing to throw Eldridge on the line. Expect to see Eldridge STATE COLLEGE OF SCIENCES SUNY NEW YORK COLLEGE RUGGING STATE COLLEGE OF SCIENCES SUNY NEW YORK COLLEGE RUGGING the line. Expect to see some pancakes. QUESTION MARKS Will the Sooners play with the same tenacity as they did against Texas? No offense to Kansas, but last week's game against Texas was way more important to the Sooner faithful than this week's game against Kansas. The Sooners played hard against the Longhorns but fell short in the end. A Big 12 South title seems unlikely unless Texas stumbles, so what are the Sooners playing for now? How will Oklahoma defend Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe? Todd Reesing says he has seen a lot of different looks this season,but apparently none of them have worked very well. Bob Stoops has seen more than his fair share of talented passing offenses in the Big 12 South. You can bet he will have a gameplan to stop Briscoe and Meier from racking up receptions.

One is sure to lose at some point, so Texas figures into the national championship game right now. The Tigers have a chance to knock the Longhorns down a peg Saturday night at home. Missouri couldn't hang with a depleted Oklahoma State offense, but Blaine Gabbert threw for 325 EAGLE yards in the loss. This game will likely hinge on Missouri's ability to gain yards through the air. Texas' defense locked down in the fourth quarter on passing attempts by Oklahoma, but must play with the same energy for an entire game to be considered an elite unit. Texas is a big favorite, but Missouri has the firepower to hang around for a long time.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 19 Words from the Big 12 Writers from around the conference weigh in on their teams the Week WR/PR/KR down, kick return bite play- andine ion. backa- nsive ANSAN --- and line con- back- a- sive OKLAHOMA SOONERS Jones prepared to lead Oklahoma By Jono Greco The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — Coach Bob Stoops confirmed what everyone suspected by announcing Monday that Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford would not play against the No. 25 Kansas Jayhawks Saturday. Stoops said a set timetable has not been put in place for when or if he will return. "He's not going to play this week," Stoops said. "From there the path hasn't been determined, yet." So, the news means freshman quarterback Landry Jones will be back under center for the Sooners. Jones went 2-1 during Bradford's first stint on the sidelines because of injury, and completed 91 of 154 passes for 1,111 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. But this time around the circumstances are a little bit different for Jones. This time the coaches, players and fans know what they can expect out of the Artesia, N.M. native. He does not have to answer the outstanding question about whether he can handle the pressure of playing looming over him. The question that surrounds him during his second stint as starting quarterback is if he can make it his offense with Bradford's 2009 status uncertain. This shaky offense played poorly against Texas, only putting up 13 points on numerous opportunities off of Texas turnovers. Can he step up and take the reins as more than just a temporary solution to a problem? The answer in the locker room is yes. Sophomore wide receiver Ryan Broyles said Jones is able to be the leader the offense will need in the huddle between every play. "We're just going to rally around him," Broyles said. "He's a great player, so this is his coming-out party, his second one." Despite Jones' confident demeanor both on and off the field, he remains humble and maintains the mindset that Bradford may make a triumphant third return. "It's kind of the same kind of thing where I knew that I was going to be playing that week." jones said. "I don't really know about Sam right now. I don't know what he's going to be doing, so I can't really say for sure what's going to happen." If Bradford does not come back either for the end of this season or for a senior season, Jones should treat the offense as one of his prized possessions. He will now be the leader of a struggling OU offense. Both he and his teammates should see Jones as the new leader of the offense if the Sooners want to salvage the season. Oklaima quarterback Landry Jones throws the ball against Texas during the second half of their game in Dallas last Saturday. Texas won 16-13. SOONERS 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS Sooners hope to avoid back-to-back losses By Jono Greco The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — Heading into Saturday's matchup between the Sooners and the No. 25 Kansas Jayhawks, both teams have one thing in mind: winning. Both teams are coming off defeats and will be looking to get back on track with a victory in Lawrence. The Sooners fell 16-13 to the No.3 Longhorns, and the at-time onewin Colorado Buffalooes upset the Jayhawks 34-30. With both teams being 1-1 during Big 12 play, this game means a lot for each side. Senior defensive end Auston English said it is huge for either team to not put a No.2 in the loss column. "In years past we've lost to Texas and still managed to find it into the Big 12 Championship somehow," English said. "All we can do is control the next game and what we can do. Right now we're just going to focus on winning the next one and try to put two together." If the Sooners fall to 1-2 in the Big 12 after this weekend, they can just about kiss their dim Big 12 Championship hopes alive. OU is currently fourth in the Big 12 South, and is playing catch-up with Texas and No.15 Oklahoma State, who are both undefeated in conference play. Outside of the conference rankings, junior defensive tackle Adrian Taylor said it is a matter of necessity and pride to come back and get a victory. Taylor said he plans on returning to the form that has made the Sooners the powerhouse they have become in the past decade "We plan on winning out from here because we know we need to," Taylor said. "It's just a pride thing as far as you know when you come to Oklahoma you come to win games and championships. We know we can't win championships without winning games, and we need to pick it up." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN On the other hand, the game is not entirely life or death for the Jayhawks. Even with a loss, Kansas would be in the thick of the Big 12 North title race. The Jayhawks are second in the North, trailing only Kansas State who is 2-1 in conference play. "We're going to get back on track and be like the old Oklahoma,"Taylor said. The odds of the Sooners losing back-to-back games are slim. The last time this happened during the Bob Stoops era was in 2003 when the Sooners lost in the Big 12 Championship game to Kansas State and then in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship against Louisiana State. A Kansas victory, though, will hand the Sooners their second straight loss, but handling OU that loss will be no easy task. "You don't want to go down in two in a row," junior defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. "You want to be able to bounce back from a loss, not lose, stay down and be worried about the rest of the season. Coming off a loss, we've got to go into this week strong, get us a win, get us some momentum and win out the rest of the season." THE WAVE OCTOBER 23, 2009 20 BIG 12 V3 MISSOURITIGERS Tigers struggling to find the end zone By Evan Glantz The Maneater COLUMBIA, Mo. — In recent seasons, the Tigers offense was known for lighting up the scoreboard.In 2007, the team averaged 39.9 points per game, then upped that to 42.2 last season. This year, Missouri has seen that production drop to 29.3 points per game. The games against Nebraska and, most recently, Oklahoma State have especially illustrated Missouri's struggles pushing the ball into the end zone. "It's just obvious if you look at us all year on offense,you haven't seen us,except for our first football game,consistent," coach Gary Pinkel said. On Saturday night in Stillwater, Okla., it appeared the Tigers came out ready to strike. Using a steady balance of running and passing, Missouri pushed the ball all the way down to Oklahoma State's four-yard line. But they would get no further and had to settle for a field goal. The three points put Missouri on top at the time, but were also a sign of things to come. kicking a field goal down there." Pinkel said. "We had our troubles getting in the end zone." "It was a real good drive, and we ended up Senior wide receiver Danario Alexander said the issue comes down to performance. "We're just not executing our plays," Alexander said. "If we just execute as an offense, then we can be pretty good." Alexander did his best to get the Tigers going. In the first half, he hauled in six passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. As a result, the game was still within reach, as Oklahoma State held a 24-17 advantage. But things slowed down for Alexander and the Tigers in the second half. The receiver was held to three catches for 19 yards, and Missouri was shut out in the half. The Cowboys, on the other hand, consistently found ways to put points on the board. "We've been a second half team,"sophomore wide receiver Wes Kemp said."And today we just weren't able to put it together. I think we need to get started faster in the first half." Blaine Gabbert's play was representative of the rest of the team. He completed just 22 of his 44 passes for 325 yards. All that yardage through the air accounted for just one touchdown, but also three interceptions. 81 10 Missouri wide receiver Danario Alexander, left, fights off a tackle by Oklahoma State safety Markelle Martin, right, after a pass reception in the first quarter of their game last Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

The Wildcats defeated the Aggies 62-14. ASSOCIATED PRESS Wildcats surprise everyone with blowout By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian MANHATTAN — For this week's segment of my midweek musings, I'd like to take you all through my thought process during last weekend's 62-14 blowout against Texas A&M. Judging from the offense's performance, I'm sure you'll have plenty to read. Enjoy. - K-State forces and recovers a fumble, Daniel Thomas scores four plays later. (7-0): Why in the world did Texas A&M have a tight end running the ball? Ever heard of a fullback? Oh well. - Josh Cherry connects on a 23-yard field goal. (10-0): Maybe he's finally found his groove. Good thing it only took him seven weeks instead of a really freakin' long time. - Thomas scores again on a three-yard run, still in the first quarter. (17-0): I think we may have brought Steven Sheffield back from Texas Tech with us. No wonder Grant Gregory looks different. - Thomas hits paydirt again on a nine-yard run. (24-0); I should go find Jonathan Beasley in the coaching booth. His single-game touchdown record is seriously at stake here. - Thomas takes a direct snap and carries it 17 yards for his third score of the first half. (31-0): Scratch that. I'm starting to wonder if we didn't kidnap the whole Red Raider offense. Either way, no complaints here. - Josh Moore picks off a pass and Gregory hits a wide open Collin Klein for his first career touchdown. (38-0): Collin Klein? Isn't he a quarterback? I guess that's not important, but are we really still in the first half? - Keithen Valentine scores on a nine-yard run – his first carry of the game. (52-0): Well, it looks like Beasley's record will stay intact. At least for another week. - Brandon Banks takes the second half kickoff 97 yards for his third return touchdown of the season. (45-0): Good thing he did that. The lead was really starting to dwindle. - Valentine scores again on a 20-yard run - his second carry of the game. (59-0): I should really get my oil changed tomorrow. It's been months since I've done that. Wait, the game's not over yet? - Aggie quarterback Jerrod Johnson hits receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu on a 66-yard scoring strike. (59-7): And the comeback begins. I knew this was too good to be true. I knew they should have built a good-sized lead. Too late now. - Johnson hits Nwachukwu again, this time from 23 yards out. (59-14): Man, that Nawacha... Nowatchu... That receiver with the weird name is really good. Is he really only a freshman? - Brandon Klimek hits a 46-yard field goal for the game's final points. (62-14): He did it! Cherry finally hit one from outside 40 yards! It's a miracle! He must be so hap...wait, never mind. - Bill Snyder says at the post-game press conference that K-State could have played better in the first half. (Game over): Seriously? Were we watching the same game? Poor guy. Senility must be kicking in. Actually, that could make the rest of the season pretty interesting.

Arnaud and the Cyclones are preparing to play Nebraska this weekend. Quarterback Arnaud recovering from injury By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily AMES, Iowa — With the faint scent of bowl eligibility only two wins away, Cyclone fans came away confident from the 24-10 win over Baylor this past weekend, but nicks and bruises required quarterback Austen Arnaud and running back Alexander Robinson to leave the game. The backfield starters will be undergoing treatment throughout the week in order to play against Nebraska this Saturday, and overall improvements and strong practices have made Iowa State (4-3, 1-2 Big 12) one win better under first-year coach Paul Rhoads than the team has been in the last two seasons. "I think we go about our business in the right way," Rhoads said. "It is cliché in that we work one day at a time, one play at a time and one game at a time, and I feel blessed and fortunate that I have young men that have bought into that philosophy." The swelling of Arnaud's throwing hand occurred early in the game against Baylor, and while he played through the pain for the rest of the first half, coaches felt switching to backup Jerome Tiller was the best option. "It hurt for a little bit, but it didn't hurt that bad, so I kept playing," Arnaud said. "Once the cold got to it, it started to swell up, made it hard to grip the ball. I'm stubborn, and [offensive coordinator Tom] Herman took me out. It is what it was." Arnaud's early performance didn't suggest a problem, but even at Monday's weekly press conference, his hand looked recently unwrapped and was indeed visibly puffy and more swollen than his left. "The first throw into the dirt is what we wanted to get a good look at, and after that it was time to make a change," rhoads said. "When you're in the middle of the game, you play through a lot of pain and a lot of issues, and Austen's a tough cat." Tiller, a redshirt freshman, played most of the second half as quarterback for the Cyclones, and while he will remain the backup come Saturday game time, his 7-for-8 passing and impressive 20-yard touchdown run were greeted pleasantly by teammates and the coaching staff. THE WAVE OCTOBER 23, 2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Fans voice opinions on QB situation By Michael Schaefer The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — The sounds from Memorial Stadium have fallen on deaf ears. Quarterback Zac Lee didn't hear the resounding booos after his fourth down incompletion that all but assured Nebraska's 31-10 loss to Texas Tech Saturday. His backup Cody Green said he didn't see or hear the ovation that followed his third quarter entrance. But the crowd made it obvious who they would like to see under center. Green marveled at how quick the crowd had turned on his teammate. "I didn't really think it would be this fast," Green said. "There was one play Zac didn't make, and it was like the whole state was against him." His shock isn't unfounded. Nebraska fans have a history of turning on starting quarterbacks. Joe Dailey was once the apple of the eye for this state when fans grew tired of starter Jammal Lord's penchant for bounce passes. Frankie London had quite a fan-following in 1997 before Scott Frost established himself as a reliable leader. In both cases, the original starter prevailed over his backup, and the team was better off. Yet each year, fans of teams across the country call for a change at the offense's most important position. College football is a world of immediate reaction. Fans want success, and a quarterback's body of work is rarely studied and easily forgotten. Lee will always remember how short memories can be. He was reminded of this during Tuesday's media session. Lee had to listen to head coach Bo Pelini address questions about the quarterback controversy. He heard Pelini tell the media that the job is still his. He listened as a reporter asked how close Green is to taking his job. Pelini downplayed the situation and said that both Lee and Green would take their usual reps at practice. All eyes will be on Lee this Saturday, counting his incompletions and missed opportunities. There will be cheers and jeers, but that comes with the territory. "You're in a fish bowl," Lee said. "You've got to put everything on the back burner. You can't look at anything, even the positives. You've got to keep yourself focused on what's going on around here. I tried to keep myself focused on what I can control and go from there." 5 20 Nebraska quarterback Zac Lee, left, is tackled by Texas Tech's Bront Bird in the second half of their game last Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. Texas Tech beat Nebraska 31-10. ASSOCIATED PRESS Offense looking for identity By Spencer Schubert The Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — Bo Pelini is experiencing a troubling case of deja vu. This time last season, the Nebraska coach was trying to shape a defense that didn't realize its own potential until later in the year. This year, the defense doesn't need much molding, but according to Pelini, the offense does. "I see ourselves on offense going through many of the same things we went through a year ago on the defensive side of the ball," Pelini said. "We have some inexperienced guys. We have some guys we're trying to find the right combinations for — the inconsistency part of the process of developing guys." According to Pelini and other coaches, the youth of the offense is showing through. Nebraska entered this season with inexperienced players at several vital positions. In 2008, receivers Niles Paul, Curenski Gilleylen and Menelik Holt had a combined 55 Along with the new receivers, offensive line coach Barney Cotton has had to replace the entire right side of his line because Matt Slauson and Lydon Murtha graduated. Not to mention a new and inexperienced quarterback, Zac Lee. With the plethora of new faces on offense, Pelini said the unit needs to find its identity. Lee, who has led the offense through the first six games, agrees. catches. After just six games, the three have already combined for 43 this season. "I think there have been times where we have really shined offensively, and there have been times where we haven't," Lee said. "It's been pretty up and down. That is just having inexperience at places and not executing at times. That is something we'll continue to grow with and continue to improve." The offensive identity struggle has become much more evident the last two weeks than during the start of the season. Nebraska has rushed for a mere 175 yards and passed for 373 yards against Missouri and Texas Tech. The Huskers had nearly identical numbers in one game against Louisiana- Lafayette just weeks before. Offensive tackle Mike Smith said it was frustrating to hear about Pelini's comparison. "It's hard to hear that because we are going out there trying as hard as we can and doing everything we possibly can, but I think it's going to come together eventually," Smith said. "You can't practice and play as hard as we are and not have anything come of it." Defensive tackle Jared Crick said he understands why Pelini compared the two units. Crick was a backup for former Husker Ty Steinkuhler last season when the defense went through its own problems. He said one of the biggest factors that plagued the defense was confidence. "We just didn't know how good we could be," Crick said. "We thought we were OK compared to 2007, but it wasn't until after the Texas Tech game last season that we found out we could beat good teams like that. It gave us a new mindset, and it made all the difference." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 23,2009 24 BIG 12 P COLORADO BUFFALOES Quarterback scrambles over Kansas By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — Three years after Colorado watched Kansas' mobile quarterback Todd Reeing come off the bench and spark a signature comeback win, the Buffaloes may have found their own answer under center in scrambling sophmore Tyler Hansen. Hansen, who supplanted Cody Hawkins — the coach's son — at halftime at Texas a week earlier, made the most of his first start Saturday night, leading the Buffs to a 34-30 win over previously unbeaten Kansas. The Jayhawks (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) fell seven spots to 24th in the AP Top 25 poll Sunday. This is the second straight season that Hansen burned a redshirt at midseason because of Hawkins'inconsistency and glut of interceptions. Last time, Hansen wasn't well-versed in the offense and quickly gave the starting job back to Hawkins. He was a much different quarterback this time, throwing for 175 yards and a score and running for 34 yards — 64, not counting sack yardage — and a touchdown. After his turnover helped spark Kansas' comeback from a three-touchdown deficit to take a 30-27 fourth-quarter lead, Hansen coolly directed a 10-play, 76-yard game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. "I play a little smarter than I did last year," Hansen said. "I took a little longer to go through my progressions, and I looked downfield a little more. I just didn't look to run. I was able to scramble around and look downfield. That's probably the biggest difference between this year and last year." It was a dead-on imitation of Reesing, who led Kansas to a 20-15 win over Colorado in 2006, when he burned his redshirt at halftime after standing on the sideline for the first eight games. He's gone on to lead Kansas to a 24-8 record since then. "The quarterback for CU, he was the difference-maker today," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said after Reesing's rally in the final minute came up short with two passes batted down in the end zone. "It's unfortunate that they picked this week to take his red-shirt off. I think they found their quarterback, that's for sure." 41 COLORADO 9 Colorado quarterback Tyler Hansen, center, eludes Kansas linebacker Arist Wright, left, and cornerback Ryan Murphy in the third quarter of Colorado's 34-30 victory in Boulder, Colo., last Saturday.

THE WAVE OCTOBER 23,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 25 TEXAS LONGHORNS SOONERS 15 THOMAS 12 1 Oklahoma running back Chris Brown (29) is run down by Texas safety Earl Thomas (12) and Keenan Robinson (1) during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, in Dallas. Defense holds up Sooners By Blake Hurtik The Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — It might be impossible to please Texas defensive tackle Lamarr Houston — at least during the season. Even after the senior led the Longhorns' defense in holding Oklahoma to the fewest rushing yards in the history of the Red River Rivalry (-16 yards), Houston wasn't satisfied. "We had some busted coverages,some busted plays," said Houston, who had four tackles (one for loss) against Oklahoma."Our mental toughness can get a lot stronger. There's no satisfaction on defense." The Longhorns wreaked havoc in the Oklahoma backfield, racking up 10 tackles for loss and two sacks. Defensive end Sergio Kindle led the way with four tackles for loss and half a sack. He would have had another sack late in the fourth quarter had a Sooner lineman not tackled him. His pressure still caused quarterback Landry Jones to throw an interception to cornerback Aaron Williams, a result he'll take. How exactly did Texas corral a Sooners offense that came in averaging 187 rushing yards per game? By adopting defensive coordinator Will Muschamp's "blue-collar, lunchpail" attitude. "I think I would have had the sack," said Kindle. "He tackled me like I had the ball." "I just think our work ethic is showing, that's all it is," Houston said. "We can get way better." The Greg Smith effect Z Flex tight end Dan Buckner didn't see much of the field against Oklahoma. When he did play, he was only thrown to once and drew a pass interference penalty. Texas coach Mack Brown said Smith will continue to see more playing time, but he also hopes to get Buckner more involved. Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis used traditional tight end Greg Smith most of the time to compensate for Oklahoma's pass rush and to help the running game. Smith, who came into the game with one catch on the year, was Texas' leading receiver heading into halftime with two catches for 19 vards. "We'll be more balanced on offense with Greg playing and Dan Buckner playing instead of all four wide [receiver sets]," Brown said. "We just feel like people can catch up with four wides ... and you can't run the ball consistently." Texas coaches have stressed an increased focus on the running game as well. "We felt like, going into the game, we wanted to play more with a tight end," said Davis. "We felt like it gave us more flexibility in the run game." In that sense, it worked. Texas rushed for 142 yards, but it was at the expense of the passing game, which produced just 127 yards. McCoy's rush game sealed win By David R. Henry The Daily Texan That's not what happened Saturday, and based on his stats, his chances at the Heisman Trophy may have gotten slimmer. DALLAS — In a perfect world, Colt McCoy would have put up big numbers in a blowout victory over Oklahoma to make his case for the Heisman Trophy. But if you take away the stat sheet, McCoy's play epitomized what a Heisman Trophy winner should be.And no,I didn't watch a different game than the rest of you. He showed toughness, leadership and made the plays needed to win the game. "It's not going to be pretty every time," McCoy said."I just gave it my best effort and trusted God with the results." With Texas up 16-13 in the fourth quarter and going in for the kill, McCoy threw an interception in the red zone. Oklahoma defensive back Brian Jackson had a wide open field ahead of him for an easy pick six. Only one person was standing in his way — McCoy. The senior quarterback made a solid hit on Jackson to take him down before he could get away, and the Longhorn defense held Oklahoma on its next possession. "He looked like a safety on that play," said Longhorn safety Earl Thomas. It could have been a 20-16 Oklahoma victory if it wasn't for McCoy's tackle. He did throw the interception in the first place, of course. But that interception wasn't really his fault — freshman receiver Marquise Goodwin ran the wrong route, out instead of in. "There was some miscommunication," said Texas coach Mack Brown. While McCoy's passing numbers, 21 of 39 for 127 yards and an interception, were less than stellar, it was his running, like a first down run he had late in the game, that won the game for Texas. McCoy finished with 14 carries for 65 yards. "I told him we're going to need him to run the ball today, and he said 'Dial it up, coach,'"said offensive coordinator Greg Davis. McCoy might not have the prettiest stats in the nation right now, but you can't find anyone who plays with more heart. It's that heart that led to him defeating Oklahoma three out of his four years at Texas, just the third Longhorn quarterback to do so in the 104-game history of the rivalry.

The Cowboys defeated the Tigers 33-17 for a homecoming win. Wide receiver finds his role By Corinne Meyerson The Daily O'Collegian STILLWATER, Okla. — When Hubert Anyiam's chance came, he took it. Anyiam, a sophomore wide receiver, rejected offers from Arizona, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech to play for Oklahoma State. Anyiam was redshirted in 2007 and had three catches for 32 yards in 2008, but since the suspension of All-American receiver Dez Bryant, Anyiam has begun to make his presence felt for the Cowboys. Anyiam had three catches for 58 yards and a touchdown against Texas &M. For the game against the Missouri Tigers, Anyiam made 10 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. He was named Big 12 cooffensive player of the week. Anyiam said that with his recent success. he hopes people will start pronouncing his last name correctly. Coaches said Anyiam has always had the talent, but not the opportunity to show it. "It will be a relief", Anyiam said. "I've had that (problem) since I was little." After being recruited by several schools, Anyiam visited Oklahoma State.He verbally committed to the Cowboys five days after his official visit. Anyiam was an All-State player coming out of North High School in Garland, Texas, and Rivals.com ranked him as the nation's No. 32 receiving prospect in the state of Texas. "OU had actually offered me," Anyiam said."I just didn't like how the coaches recruited me.I feel like OSU came to me at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way." Anyiam said he was hungry to play more as a freshman but he understood his role and that he was going to have to wait his turn. "Yes, it was tough to wait," Anyiam said. "When I first came up here, the depth chart was kinda deep, I had to make my spot be known." "Hubert has a great overall feel for the game," Robinson said. "He can always fill the open zones and know where to be, and so he does a great job of that." Senior quarterback Zac Robinson said Anyiam has a great mind for football. Robinson said he and Anyiam needed to get on the same page quickly. "We've worked in practice a lot, and obviously thrown a lot of routes to each other," Robinson said. "I think that's helped us out a bunch." Anyiam said he is ready to play when he is called upon. "I knew I was gonna really have to step up and be the man,"Anyiam said. Cowboys preparing for Baylor By Meredith Parks The Daily O'Collegian STILLWATER, Okla. — The Oklahoma State fans, students and players were anticipating last Saturday's game against Missouri. Not because it was another Big 12 game but because it was homecoming. In the end, the Cowboys defeated the Missouri Tigers in a 33-17 victory at Boone Pickens Stadium. Oklahoma State's homecoming game didn't disappoint. With the second half of the 2009 football season underway, the No.14-ranked Cowboys are off to Waco, Texas, to face Big 12 South rival Baylor. Oklahoma State enters the Baylor game 5-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big 12 play. Oklahoma State has scored at least 24 points in every game against the Bears in Big 12 play and has reached the 30-point mark against Baylor in each of the last 10 games. As the game against Baylor approaches, memories also begin to stimulate. Oklahoma State played Baylor in the homecoming game of 2008. The Bears came in with a winning attitude and tried to defeat Oklahoma State at home on homecoming. Although the result favored the Cowboys, this year the roles are being reversed. Saturday is Baylor's homecoming and the Cowboys are favored to beat the Bears. This is the first time Baylor has played Oklahoma State for homecoming. Redshirt freshman tight end Cooper Bassett said no team likes to lose its homecoming game, but it's Oklahoma State's job to go into this game like any other game and get the job done. "No one likes being anybody's homecoming (opponent) because usually you want a 'W' on that game, but it gives us an extra push, a little bit more grit to win this game," Bassett said. "We are just going to go into it like another game. We are going to have the same mindset and focus." Baylor's energy will be high but highly touted quarterback Robert Griffin is out with an injury. Senior defensive end Jermiah Price said even without their quarterback the Bears are going to be a challenge "We were looking forward to playing against Griffin, but at the same time it's kind of great he's not playing," Price said. "The quarterback they have now is not as mobile, but he still a very good athlete. We are going to get after him because he can't run as fast." THE WAVE OCTOBER 23, 2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN T BIG 12 27 TEXAS A&M AGGIES Time for changes after blowout loss By David Harris The Battalion COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Embarrassing. Blasphemous. Humiliating. Shameful. Pathetic. I could sit here with a thesaurus for about an hour and come up with more words to describe your "Fighting" Texas Aggies' performance Saturday in Manhattan. 62-14. Come on sunshine pumpers, let that resonate for a second. I've been watching Aggie football religiously for the last 10 years, and I have never seen a team more unprepared for a game. I've never seen a team quit like that. I've never seen a loss so embarrassing. Losing by 48 points to Kansas State is worse than the 77-0 beatdown handed down by Oklahoma in 2003. That Sooner team was undefeated and was the No. 3 team in the country. This Wildcat squad was 3-3 going into Saturday. They had slipped by Massachusetts, a Football Championship Subdivision team, by a mere four points at home in week one. They had lost to Sun Belt "powerhouse" Louisiana Lafayette. Just last week, they left Lubbock after being obliterated 66-14 by Texas Tech. Plain and simply, Kansas State was the perceived doormat of the Big 12. After seeing 59-0 on the scoreboard in the middle of the third quarter, I think it's safe to call it a misconceived notion. I also think it's safe to say this A&M squad may be the worst team in the entire conference. Yes, the once-proud program has been relegated to bottom-feeder status. The once storied tradition of hard-nosed defenses, spirited play and conference championships has since been replaced by a tradition of blowout losses, apathetic play and irrelevance. It's time to start holding people accountable. And that starts all the way at the top. 95 TEXAS After Saturday night, it is more than fair to start questioning both Athletic Director Bill Byrne and coach Mike Sherman. "We will now begin a national search for a new head coach," were Byrne's exact words in 2007 following Dennis Franchione's resignation. With coaches such as Kevin Sumlin (head coach of No.17 Houston), Chris Petersen (head coach of No. 6 Boise State), and Bobby Petrino (head coach of Arkansas) available, Byrne's "nationwide search" led him to interview one person, Mike Sherman, and offer him the job.

Sheffield ran for two touchdowns in Texas Tech's 31-10 victory. ASSOCIATED PRESS Sheffield, defense key in 31-10 upset By Eric Olson Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — Steven Sheffield passed for a touchdown and ran for two in his first road start, and Texas Tech jumped out fast to upset No.15 Nebraska 31-10 Saturday. Sheffield, who passed for 490 yards and seven touchdowns in his debut as the starter against Kansas State last week, was nearly perfect early on, completing 14 of his first 16 passes against the Cornhuskers. Playing for the injured Taylor Potts, Sheffield went 9-for-16 in the second half and finished with 234 yards. Texas Tech (5-2, 2-1) won for the first time in four road games since last October. Nebraska (4-2, 1-1) held the Raiders to 259 vards — 263 under their average. But for the second straight week, Nebraska's offense did next to nothing until the fourth quarter. By then it was too late. Tech's often-overshadowed defense, led by end Brandon Sharpe, allowed just one field goal until the middle of the fourth quarter. Sheffield picked up where he left off against K-State. He completed six passes while leading the Red Raiders on an 80-yard touchdown drive to start the game, finishing with a 16-yarder to Baron Batch. Sharpe had four sacks and batted down a pass, and strong safety Franklin Mitchem had seven tackles and an interception. Sheffield couldn't get anything going on his next series, but Tech's defense provided a big lift. Nebraska's Niles Paul fumbled after taking a lateral from Zac Lee, and Daniel Howard picked up the ball and ran it back 82 yards for a 14-0 lead. Rajon Henley and Sharpe sacked Lee on back-to-back plays before Sheffield ran in from a yard to wrap up a 12-play, 65-yard drive that put Tech up by three touchdowns. Texas Tech led 24-3 at half after the teams traded field goals. The Raiders generated 47 yards in the second half, but their defense never let the Huskers get closer than two touchdowns. Nebraska backup Cody Green, who played one series in the third quarter, replaced Lee in the middle of the fourth and found Khiry Cooper for a 13-yard pass that was Nebraska's only touchdown. Green drove the Huskers inside the Texas Tech 15 late in the fourth quarter before getting intercepted by Mitchem. Lee had the Huskers inside the Texas Tech 10 early in the fourth before they self-destructed. Offensive lineman Ricky Henry got a personal foul for pushing the pile after the whistle, and center Jacob Hickman was called for a false start.The series ended with Lee throwing out the back of the end zone, prompting boos from frustrated fans. In 12 quarters against BCS opponents, Nebraska has failed to score a touchdown in 10 of them. Lee was 16 of 22 for 128 yards and Green was 7 of 16 for 87. THE WAVE OCTOBER 23, 2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 29 BAYLOR BEARS Bears can't keep up with Iowa State By Luke Meredith Associated Press AMES, Iowa — Iowa State started the season by snapping a 10-game losing streak. The Cyclones then erased a 17-game road losing skid, and last Saturday night they rolled to their first Big 12 win since 2007. Austen Arnaud threw for 166 yards and scored two touchdowns as Iowa State snapped an 11-game losing streak in Big 12 play by thumping Baylor 24-10 on Saturday. Marquis Hamilton added nine catches for 97 yards for the Cyclones (4-3,1-2), who picked up their first conference victory since downing Colorado two years ago. Iowa State, which was never seriously threatened by the Bears, is two wins shy of bowl eligibility with five games left to play. The Cyclones jumped out to a 14-3 halftime lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Arnaud and a 4-yard touchdown pass from Arnaud to Derrick Catlett. Iowa State then blocked a punt midway through the third quarter, setting up a 20-yard touchdown run by Jerome Tiller to make it 24-3. Iowa State was 12 of 18 on third-down conversions and Until Akers' meaningless late score, that bunny was all the Cyclones let into their end zone. The Bears gambled on the opening series of the second half by going for it on 4th-and-1 on their own 32-yard line, but Iowa State stuffed Szymanski on a keeper. Grant Mahoney's 45-yard field goal gave the Cyclones a 17-3 lead. Arnaud was replaced by Tiller, his backup on Iowa State's next series. Running back Alexander Robinson, who has been nursing a sore groin, left shortly thereafter as well, but the Cyclones didn't miss a beat. The second half opened with a bit of levity as a small brown rabbit ran directly through Iowa State's kick coverage team before dashing through the end zone.

"What a great way to use our knowledge to help organizations that already do such worthwhile things." Alexander, assistant professor in accounting, said. Though non-profits aren't generally required to pay taxes, they are required to file what is known as a Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service every year. That hasn't changed since 1979, but come next March, the old form will have a whole new set of requirements and thresholds that could make filing more confusing than ever. Alexander said the changes came with good reason. With 1.5 million non-profits in America earning a combined revenue of $1.4 trillion each year, it's easy for fraud and abuse to corrupt a system that's older than most students at the University. The new filing requirements increase transparency in an attempt to end the practice of using non-profits as tax shelters. The other reason, she said, lies in the first form's first page, which requires organizations to give a detailed explanation of the organization's mission statement and progress. "It provides an opportunity for organizations to brag about their accomplishments and help spread their mission," she said. Rather than teach the students the information from a podium, Alexander had them research the issue themselves. Cole said she and her classmates spent about 30 hours in the past month becoming experts on the new forms to help non-profits. Anna Bliss, graduate student from Portage, Mich., presented Friday. Bliss said she had never worked with non-profit tax issues before. "It was overwhelming to think that we were doing all this research on our own to get the information, rather than having a teacher sit down and tell us what to do," she said. But Bliss and Cole said the research helped them retain the information and would be useful when they needed to help their own clients someday. According to all in attendance Friday, their hard work paid off in the form of a successful, informative presentation. Barb Bishop, executive director for Arc of Douglas County, an organization that provides advocacy and support to people with developmental disabilities and their families, said she came to the presentation to learn what she needs to give her accountant next year. "Just because we're tax-exempt doesn't mean we're exempt from following the rules," she said. Bishop said she wanted to be sure she handled donations properly. "If they wanted to give the money to the government, they wouldn't have given it to me," she said. "It would be pretty poor stewardship if we gave more money than we needed to the government because we messed up the 990 form." After the presentation, Bishop, a self-proclaimed tax-iliterate, said she felt like a deer in the headlights. But she said she knew once she let the information sink in, she would The changes to the nonprofit tax forms will affect student groups on campus because, as tax-exempt entities, they are required to file a version of Form 990 each year. A CHANGING SYSTEM Form 990 exists in three forms: Form 990-N, Form 990-EZ and Form 990. Most student groups on campus must file the shortest form, Form 990-N, within four and a half months after the organization closes its books at the end of the tax year. If they don't, Alexander said, the International Revenue Service will take away their tax-exempt status and require that the organization pay penalties for failing to file. Though student organizations have been required to file this form in the past, Alexander said, it's important that their tax preparers know the changes in the forms to best comply with IRS requirements. The new forms can be found at 1rs.gov. The IRS will phase in the new standards in the next three years. be able to get the right details to her accountant because of what she learned from the students. "I'm really impressed by the students' efforts to be a part of this community," she said. Alexander said she has had her "Tax Research" students participate in a different service-learning project each semester since 2005, when her students helped the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Other projects involved aiding residents of Greensburg and providing tax education for performing arts organizations. Edited by Abbey Strusz LIED (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Though the dance company is only in its second year, McIntyre has had experience with choreography around the country. He has written more than 80 pieces for some of the nation's most prominent ballet companies, and has served as the resident choreographer for a handful of large ballet organizations, including the Washington Ballet. Friday night was the choreographer's first-ever performance in his home state. McIntyre said he was happy to have his homecoming in Lawrence. "Growing up, Lawrence was kind of the holy grail," McIntyre said. "It always had a little bit of a mythological quality for me." The show began with Samba music filling the Lied Center. Women in white spring dresses swirled around the stage, lifted and thrown by their male counterparts. The piece opened and closed with the dancers lined up in front a large canvas as individual spotlights silhouetted their bodies. Another set featured a trio of dancers using balloons to alter their body's images while they danced to symphonic rock music. The audience erupted in laughter when a female dancer with two balloons stuffed up her shirt frolicked around the stage. McIntyre said this dynamic approach to ballet had caused the college-aged group to become the company's largest followers. "Our approach is here and now," McIntyre said. "It doesn't feel like its part of a museum. It is refreshing." To address the here and now, the show's finale combined live dance and high-definition video to address the negative effect of human behavior on Glacier National Park in Montana. The 30-minute piece used a massive projection screen to show footage of the dancers in the park while live dance occurred on the stage below the screen. The piece, titled "The Sun Road," was part of a larger series on America's national parks, commissioned by the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts. McIntyre said "The Sun Road" was meant to tell the story of Glacier National Park's dire future. He said in less than 30 years, climate change might eradicate the park's glaciers. Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center, visited the company in Glacier National Park during the filming of "The Sun Road." He said the piece presented the clash between humans and the park's majestic environment. "You have this unbelievable scenic wonder combined with the dancers dressed in formal wear and looking completely out of place," Van Leer said. "I think what he's saying is that although we may feel comfortable there, we may be out of place." McIntyre said this use of multimedia helped attract a younger following. The company uploads the majority of its material onto the project's Web site, allowing fans to interact and engage with the company outside of its performances. Taylor said McIntyre's multimedia approach was intriguing. "You get the sense of being in this beautiful national park, and then all of the sudden you be brought back to the stage," Taylor said. "I thought it was fascinating." BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Goodman has played Division 1 college basketball and professional basketball both in the U.S. and in Israel, but he has never once played on a Jewish holiday or the Sabbath. Tonight, Goodman will share his story with students in a speech at Robinson Gymnasium. The presentation will also include a free kosher meal, a short basketball clinic and 3-on-3 fundraising tournament to fight prostate cancer. "He's just a very inspirational speaker," said Schwab, who heard Goodman speak in August and helped the Chabad Jewish Center plan his visit. "He's very unique to be able to play and also stick to his religious beliefs." Though recognized for his ability in basketball, Goodman has achieved much of his fame for his unwillingness to put the sport before his faith. After high school, Goodman turned down a full ride scholarship and verbal contract to play basketball at Maryland University because the team's schedule of practices and games meant having to play on the Jewish Sabbath, which is against the rules of Orthodox Judaism. That conviction has earned him coverage on national networks such as ESPN, CBS and Fox Sports. Goodman said he stayed true to the Jewish weekly schedule throughout his career at Towson State University and his professional career with several Israeli teams including Maccabi Haifa in Israel and the Maryland Nighthawks in the U.S. Premier Basketball League. "Everywhere I played, the teams were able to work around the schedule," Goodman said. "I never played from sunday Friday night to sunday Saturday night." Goodman, who retired from basketball four weeks ago at age 27, said his choice to put faith over basketball has been the topic of his speeches at more than 14 U.S. colleges and universities. He said his greatest hope was that his example would inspire students of all faiths to better understand their priorities. "When someone understands who they are and why they're in this world and they have a true identity, it helps them have a more fulfilled life," Goodman said. Goodman said that as part of this effort, the workshop tonight would be hosted by both the Chabad Jewish center and the Black Student Union. Goodman said that he always tried especially hard to bring Jewish and African-American students together because of the similar histories they shared. "I feel like in general, the African-American community and the Jewish community have overcome a lot of prejudices through the years," Goodman said. "Throughout my career, I've had very, very close African-American teammates and friends. I've had a lot of success in bringing the two communities together as one and accomplishing a lot." Jordan Brown, Bloomington, Ind., senior and president of the KU Black Student Union, said most members received the invitation to participate in the workshop with enthusiasm. "The event has sparked a lot of people's interest," Brown said. "We're really about all things positive, not only black students, but the whole University of Kansas campus." The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity will host the final tournament portion of the event as a fundraiser for TAMIR GOODMAN EVENTS Tamir Goodman will be participating in the following events today at Robinson Gymnasium: 6:00 p.m.: Free kosher dinner and speech Any student may join Goodman for the dinner and a speech about his life and career of balancing Judaism and basketball. 7:00 p.m.: Free basketball clinic The clinic, open to all students, will be sponsored by the Chabad Jewish Center and the Black Student Union. 7:30 p.m.: "Hoops for Hope" The 3-on-3 basketball tournament will raise money for prostate cancer research. The event is free, but a $5 donation is requested. Prizes will be awarded. Hosts are Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and the Chabad Jewish Center. prostate research, said Steven Laviage, Zeta Beta Tau philanthropy chair. Laviage, Houston sophomore, said the tournament was free, but that ZBT requested a $5 donation for prostate cancer research. He said he expected Goodman would help to bring more participants and success to the event. "He inspires everybody," Laviage said. Schwab, who will watch Goodman speak for the second time tonight, said the aspect of his life that she found most inspiring was his unwavering conviction. "Sometimes it's hard for other people to relate, to understand." Schwab said. "But you really have to do what you feel is right. You still have to stick to what you feel, rather than the pressures around you." Edited by Brenna M. T. Daldorph YOU SUBMITTED YOUR SLOGANS. YOU VOTED. AND NOW...

The Department of Student Housing recommended this change as a better way to enforce drinking regulations on campus. It would allow staff members to immediately enter the rooms of students who are suspected of violating policy. As the policy stands now, officials may only enter the room without notice when "imminent danger to life, safety, health or property is reasonably feared." Emily Williams is the chairwoman of the alcohol subcommittee, which is discussing overall alcohol policy change on campus. Williams, Overland Park graduate student, said alcohol abuse was a major issue in student housing at the University. "The situation is that no matter what the rules are people will break the rules," she said. "And so we are faced with a very serious dilemma here as to how to reduce drinking to the point of abuse with our student body. Unfortunately, that kind of drinking is in housing." Kiley Luckett, Garden City senior and president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said the rule caused complaints among residents who said this was a way for staff members to enter rooms t Follow Megan Heacock at twitter.com/meheacock. whenever they wanted, Luckett said this was not the intention. "We are not trying to invade rights of any of our residents," she said. "The purpose was just to better give us the resources to help residents help residents if they may be in need." "The purpose was just to better give us the resources to help residents if they may be in need." Student Housing Director Diana Robertson said the University was one of the few schools that didn't already have room access. In the Big 12, Kansas and Iowa State are the only two schools that don't have this policy. Devon Cantwell, Topeka soph Members of the committee debated the effectiveness of a policy change. KILEY LUCKETT president of the Association of University Residence Halls "The issue is that there's a cultural change that needs to take place and address things in what I would consider an adult and mature manner face-to-face. That's what we're seeking," she said. omore and Student Senate executive secretary, said the policy change could potentially help students who were sleeping sleep or study time because of their neighbors' noise, but she said it could be less effective in stopping alcohol abuse. "I don't think this will necessarily help any way with the alcohol culture on campus," Cantwell said. "But I think it will help the quality of life for the students in the residence halls." Mathew Shepard, Norton junior and All Scholarship Hall Council president, said this was the general reaction he received from students who were told about the policy proposal. "They heard about it, they learned about it, they loved it because they want a safe place to come home," Shepard said. Williams said the purpose of the committee was to address alcohol problems at the University by looking to change various policies, but she said focusing on drinking in residence halls was still only part of the solution. "This policy is related." Williams said about the student housing policy change. "But it's not the silver bullet for taking care of alcohol abuse at KU." WEB SEMINAR — Edited by Nick Gerik Applications made easier Schools that have signed up to recruit Kansas students include Arizona State University, the University of Tulsa and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Online collaboration allows students to learn about schools, applying Lindsey McCaig, Engineering Career Center coordinator and an organizer for the database, said about 70 programs were participating in the online recruitment database. She attributed much of that interest to the reduction in budgets and the amount programs can spend on face-to-face recruitment. With a growing number of graduate students and fewer dollars for graduate programs to recruit them, Kansas schools are offering a new opportunity for students to connect to graduate schools online. Hire Kansas Talent is a group collaboration that offers an online substitution for information fairs. The Web fair allows students to browse information about graduate schools from across the nation. The University collaborated with six other four-year schools in Kansas to make the group. This week, the group is holding the 2009 Kansas Graduate and Professional School E-vent, a weeklong series of live, online seminars. Seminars will cover topics from how to apply to graduate school to tips for writing personal statements and programs in specific fields of study. BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com "They don't have as much travel and recruitment money," McCaig said. "So with the budget cuts, we felt like this was a good alternative SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Online seminars, chats this week: The Talent Consortium will host online chats this week on topics for students who are interesting in graduate school and law school from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. In these chats, students will have the opportunity to speak with representatives from schools such as Marquette University, Indiana University School of Medicine and the University of Missouri. Some schools will also hold seminars Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. with topics ranging from tips to applying to graduate school to writing effective personal statements. Follow Jesse Rangel at twitter com/igglephile. Students can register for the seminars or the chats by going to https://kut-csm.symplicity.com/events/2009gps. t for them to reach out to a lot of students with actually no cost this year. A lot of schools just don't have the recruitment budgets anymore that they used to." McCaig said the online system would benefit specialized graduate programs that may only find a few students interested in their programs on recruiting trips. Bruce Blair, Bellville, Ala., "So, by combining the other Kansas schools, then we're giving them a better pool list of students," McCaig said. "We're also getting a broader scope of schools that are going to participate because they don't have to travel here." She said the system was a no-cost option for schools to market themselves to students. graduate student and president of the Graduate and Professional Association, said he thought any way to increase the information available to students about graduate school was a good thing. "You can't reach all students through fairs, and you can't reach all students through online action," Blair said. "So I'm guessing if both are conducted together, I see no reason why they won't be successful." Lorna Kenyon, administrative director of the College of Medicine at Ohio State and participant in the event, said this was the first time she had participated in a Web fair. She said the school had participated in other online exercises, such as chats with students who had been accepted to the school. "I think it's just another mechanism to try to reach applicants," Kenyon said. "With all the social media that's available now, it's not surprising that it comes to this." Edited by Abbey Strusz Town holds fundraiser for family of murdered 7-year-old NATIONAL HAPPY HALLOWEEN Children kneel and pray Friday at a memorial for Somer Thompson, who was murdered earlier in the week in Orange Park. Investigators are still searching for information about Thompson's killer. Police still searching for the person who abducted the girl BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press ORANGE PARK, Fla. — Investigators had more than a thousand tips but are still trying to figure out what happened when 7-year-old Somer Thompson disappeared on her walk home from north Florida school last week. At a fundraiser Sunday for Somer's family, children played in a bounce house as adults watched carefully. They vowed to find the girl's killer and raised about $18,500 Monday. Her body was found in a Georgia landfill Wednesday. "I've been crying since day one," said Amanda Wendorff, a co-organizer of the fundraiser. "When it's a child, it just touches a community." Wendorff, the wife of a Clay County Sheriff's deputy, has four children of her own. She urged "I've been crying since day one. When it's a child, it just touches a community." so her mother doesn't have to go back to work immediately. AMANDA WENDORFF fundraiser co-organizer Somer's name and photo were everywhere at the carnival-like fundraiser, which was held in a tree-lined park in the town's center. A silent raffle, a bake sale and even glittery makeovers for little girls were offered to help the family after the girl went missing after school people at the carnival to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious — underscoring the fear that is running deep in the community. eral law enforcement agencies are combing through tips: more than 1,150 calls from people around the U.S. have poured in regarding the little girl. Meanwhile, detectives from local, state and fed- so tar, no one has come forward to say they saw the girl abducted or attacked. Investigators have ruled out all 161 registered sex offenders who lived within a 5-mile radius of Somer's home. Thompson's mother, Diena Thompson, has praised the hard work of investigators. "These detectives — excuse my language — are busting their (expletive) to find it. Because it's an it," Diena Thompson said Saturday referring to the killer of her daughter. When reached by The Associated Press by phone Sunday, Thompson declined an interview. "I don't want to think about doing any news until after I bury my baby," she said. A public viewing and funeral are planned for Monday and Tuesday, but graveside services and the burial will be private. Dozens of mourners and supporters have held nightly vigils outside the Thompson's home. They have gathered around a huge makeshift memorial of Hannah Montana balloons, stuffed animals and candles that have burned so long that the wax has melted into the grass.

The club surrendered its liquor license Tuesday and went up for sale Thursday. City code violations cause 821 Club closing BY JUSTIN LEVERETT jleverett@kansan.com Club 821, located at Ninth and Iowa streets, has closed. The building is now on the market. He said the city had fined the club for not having the minimum number of parking spaces required by city code to operate a nightclub. The nightclubs location at 821 Iowa St. has been the site of multiple violent incidents this year. A man was arrested there in March in connection with a stabbing outside the club. Another man was arrested in April for disorderly conduct while carrying a handgun, and three more were arrested in July after a shooting outside the club. Rich Blackmon, formerly a consultant to the owners, said that the closing had everything to do with the club's city code violations, and District County Judge Michael Malone ordered the club's owners in September to pay the city $100 every day that it failed to meet the minimum number of parking spaces, as well as $11,500 in legal fees. Formerly called Club Axis, the business changed management in May and was renamed the 821 Club in an attempt to salvage its reputation. nothing to do with the violence that had occurred there.

According to Don Taylor, acting battalion chief for Palm Beach Fire and Rescue, it received a call for a possible drowning. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM BEACH, Fla. — Jeffry Picower, a philanthropist accused of profiting more than $7 billion from the investment schemes of his longtime friend Bernard Madoff, was found at the bottom of the pool at his oceanside mansion and died Sunday, police said. He was 67. Picower's wife discovered his body and pulled him from the water with help from a housekeeper, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Medical Center at about 1:30 p.m. Palm Beach police are investigating the death as a drowning, but have not ruled out anything on the cause of death.

NATIONAL Harvard Medical School center of ongoing investigation ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Six Harvard University medical researchers were poisoned in August after drinking coffee that was laced with a chemical preservative, according to university officials. In an internal memo first reported in the Boston Herald's Sunday editions, the school said the coffee came from a machine near their lab that later tested positive for sodium azide, a common preservative used in labs. The six reported symptoms after drinking the coffee. Aug. 26, ranging from dizziness to ringing in the ears, and one passed out. They were treated at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and later released. The memo, written by Daniel G. Ennis, executive dean for administration, and Richard M. Shea, associate dean for physical planning and facilities, does not say whether officials believe the poisoning was intentional. "As always, we are mindful of the need to be diligent about laboratory safety and security and the importance of proper management of laboratory chemicals;"the memo states. "We are in the process of installing additional security cameras throughout our buildings, and we are strengthening the security systems that manage access to the laboratories during both normal business hours and off hours," it goes on to say. The researchers, which include staff and students, all work in the Harvard Medical School's pathology department in its new Boston research building. They were using mice to investigate how diseases interact with the immune system.

"That gets to be pretty annoying." No - first lady Michelle Obama said Friday it's his tennis game. When they play, the president usually wins. In a brief skit, Leno pushed her to talk about her husband's flaws. At first, she sarcastically said he has none. The show was taped for airing later Friday evening. It also looks like Bo — the Obamas' dog — is living like a king. The first lady said the presidential pooch celebrated his first birthday earlier this month with a Rose Garden party. "He's perfect," she quipped Bo, a Portuguese water dog, feasted on a cake shaped like a dog house that was made out of veal. "We had a really sweet celebration," the first lady told Leno. "We had party hats." Then she let it out: It's their battles on the tennis court that get her peeved. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

EDITORIAL BOARD Business school receives deserved recognition The U.S. News and World Report recently recognized the University's School of Business for its outstanding programs. Ranked 28th in public universities across the country in 2009, the school deserves University support and recognition. The school was also included in The Princeton Review's 2010 "The Best 301 Business Schools" for its Masters' of Business Administration program Todd Dorsey, Overland Park junior in marketing, entrepreneurship and psychology, said the quality of education the school provided was its biggest advantage on the competition. "Our MBA program is competitive to get into," Dorsey Dorsey also said the excellence in teaching did not just extend to graduate students. Undergraduate students in the school benefit from professors' many and varied experiences. With experience in the industry, professors know what students will soon be up against. Dorsey said it was clear how vested professors' interests are in the success of their students. He said the excellence observed in the school was founded on relationships formed between students and professors and the desire to prepare students for what lies ahead. core material to what they've done in their life and in their career" "Enthusiasm trickles down from MBAs and professors," he said. "Professors teach undergrads and MBAs, tying examples of the "Relationships fostered with professors are evident," Dorsey said. "We have motivated individuals, high quality individuals in the MBA program here." Also adding to students' preparedness is the school's KANSAN'S OPINION Career Service Center. Dorssey said the CSC aided students with interviewing, resumes and also sets up informational meetings with potential employers. The CSC also puts on the School of Business Career Fair each September that draws in many local and nationwide employers for students to speak with and learn about career opportunities. "Our Career Service Center in the Business School is top notch," Dorsey said. "The Career Center is very good at placing people in jobs and setting them up for success" With all the advantages given to students, there is one area where the school is lacking: its facilities. Summerfield Hall, home of the school, detracts from the school's appeal. When visitors come to the University, their first impression of the school can be deceiving and often deterring. Dorsey said the school was in the process of raising money for a new building. With the given economy, however, he doesn't see the transformation happening quickly. A new facility would be an ideal, but the there are many other needs University-wide that require financial support. With its continually proven success, the school deserves University support in the updating of their facilities. Professors and students are investing their time and energy into making the school prominent and they deserve a facility that is worth their investment. For now, the University as a whole should applaud the school for its efforts, and realize when one school is recognized the whole community benefits from better students and better faculty. Kara Walker for The Kansan Editorial Board MUSIC RAP BATTLE "BOOD!" BEN COLDHAM Too much R&B in hip-hop H hip-hop is too sweet these days. Originally emerging as a gritty, authentic reflection of the streets that gave it life, hip-hop has gradually evolved into a genre dominated by R&B hooks and occasional verses, most noticeably in the mainstream. Don't get me wrong, of course I am aware of how impressive and enjoyable the R&R genre can be, and there are irrefutably plenty of great hip-hop tracks perfected with just the right vocal chorus. The issue I have with R&B and its relationship with hip-hop is when a chorus or vocal verse disrupts the flow of the emcee, and consequently disrupts the flow and the feel of the song. Often I find myself dreading the upcoming choruses of many recent hip-hop releases, yearning for them to come to an end as soon as they begin. What concerns me most, however, is that singing seems to be making its way into the underground ranks of the hip-hop world as well. More and more newly released "underground" songs may have decent, even stellar verses, only to be irritatingly interrupted by a lengthy R&B chorus. All too often these hooks distract from the tempo of the song and, in my opinion, generally lend a softer tone to the piece. THOUGHTS FROM A HIP-HOP HEAD BEN COLDHAM This is not the way hip-hop should be. Hip-hop should keep me nodding my head to the beat throughout the entire song. At the risk of sounding overly insensitive, hip-hop should not involve artists singing about their feelings or any issues of this nature at all. Hip-hop is the product of an unforgiving and very real environment, and is at its best when this street-smart, genuine nature comes through in its music. The genuine nature of hip-hop, for the record, is not singing. It is obviously in rapping. Rappers should act accordingly when producing new so-called hip-hop material. Artists proving how real and fly they are is what real hip-hop is all about, and what it has always been about. Vocal choruses, on the other hand, can often leave the listener with a slight sense of vulnerability, and vulnerability is certainly not what hip-hop has historically been about when at its best. I have always preferred the method used by most old school and old school-inspired artists when needing a bridge between verses: An abstract twist on the chorus known as a "scratch hook." This is when, instead of a sung chorus, a compilation of scratching and cut portions of other song's verses are mixed together to create a break derived from and much more representative of the hip-hop culture and lifestyle. Scratch hooks are routinely used by the most prolific and influential producers and DJs in the game, the most notable example of these being legendary producer DJ Premier, who was among the first to introduce and perfect the scratch hook in his Gang Starr years. Hip-hop became what it is today by reflecting the harsh reality and lifestyle of the streets because that is the essence of the genre in its most raw and unadultered form. Hip-hop is too sweet these days, but much of this can be remedied simply by removing some of the sugar from its production line. Coldham is a Chicago senior in journalism. CHECK'EM OUT: Hot Track: "Wasted" by Lil Wayne New Artist: Dom Kennedy Local Artist: Dutch CULTURE Modern art makes a stand Two weeks ago, I found myself at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. Twenty minutes before closing, I suggested to my mom that we should visit the modern art section. Immediately, I saw a piece of art that for the first time attracted me to modern art, not because of its absurd appearance, but because I had never seen anything like it before. I found myself refreshed in a world where everything seems to conform into repetition. — music made from samples of old tracks, movies remade and remade while just getting worse and worse and paintings being simply still life paintings or scenic photography. I had toured through many exhibits (Roman art to Renaissance masterpieces) in the Nelson-Atkins Museum. I was interested, but not totally entertained probably because most of what I was looking at was century-old oil paintings of Christian figures. But I digress. This piece of art I mentioned earlier was a completely original grouping of green bouncy balls, some with deep indented grooves making them personified with individual personalities, yet alien in their emotionless "faces." Although original, it was completely out of my realm of comprehension I was confused. I wondered how and who makes all of these works of modern art. Much of it I even questioned as being art, especially the paintings where just one black line giggled across a canvas. Because I am not an art critic, I tried not to judge these unfamiliar sculptures and paintings. All I wanted to know was how some of these people THE L NICOLAS ROESLER put them together, and what the meaning of their choices actually meant. Luckily for me, I was able to find answers at the University. The Spencer Museum of Art hosted an event on Thursday that offered compelling views into the minds of 21st-century artists. Almost like a screening of a movie, the group Art21 gave insight into three different artists working in three different modes of expression, or lifetimes. The three focal ideas were compassion, fantasy and systems (the way society works today with everything being information-based, supercharged and fast paced). These artists are on the cutting edge of artistic creativity in today's society. There are plenty of places in Lawrence to view these works of art. Galleries on Massachusetts Street have an ever-changing flow of art coming and going, as well as the loaded Spencer Museum of Art. Art21 also has a show on PBS and showings from past years available online at www.art21.org. Because contemporary art can be hard to wrap one's head around, I suggest watching these creative videos to open your eyes to the new art being made in these sometimes repetitive times. Roesler is a Denver junior in journalism. BLOG: GREEN MY GUY Emission of Defeat It is no surprise that transportation causes 29 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gases and is the largest source of CO2 emissions. When Henry Ford created the assembly line, he also created an insatiable American lust for the automobile and all it represents: independence, freedom, convenience and status. And I suppose it is that lust that got the better of my boyfriend, Austin, and I this week. Despite our efforts to walk and ride the bus more, we drove our cars every single day. How did we become so utterly dependent on our cars? Though we had a local bus system and we both lived within walking distance of campus, why did we still choose to drive? Independence and freedom. Similar to most American teens, Austin and I considered receiving our license a rite of passage. Your first car is a symbol of adulthood and independence, a literal move away from your parents. Driving a car allows us to go where we want, when we want without asking for someone else's help. We have the freedom to come and go as we please, without having to abide by a bus schedule. Convenience. In a car-oriented society such as ours, it is no surprise that our cities are designed to be car-friendly and focused. Wide lanes leave no room for bike lanes and urban sprawl makes walking an unreasonable choice when you're in a hurry. Status. I once made the mistake of suggesting that Austin get a Prius. "Janie" he said, "I've always driven an SUV and I'll always drive an SUV. I know that they may be bad for the environment, but I don't care. It's one of those things I just won't give up." Driving a car, specifically an SUV, is part of Austin's personal identity. To him, that identity is simply more important than any CO2 or greenhouse gas emission So how do we get ourselves to use more sustainable forms of transportation? How do we overcome the advantages of driving, remember its environmental impacts, and find alternatives that have advantages for both the Earth and us? And are there simply things we won't replace, even though they are unsustainable? —Janie Chen is a junior from Olathe. Her sustainability blog can be read at www.greenmgyuy.wordpress.com.

It is accepting entries for its annual battle of the bands, the Farmer's Ball. Logan Nickels, Stillwater, Okla. senior and KJKH station manager, said Farmer's Ball was a great way to promote local bands. "For bands that don't have an output, it is a good way for them to get out there," Nickels said. Peter Lyrene, Fairhope, Ala., senior and Live Events Director for KJHK, said bands, rappers, solo artists or musicians of any kind were encouraged to enter. Lyrene said eight bands would be selected to participate in the Farmer's Ball. The bands are selected by KJHK's music and live events staff as well as KJHK DJs. To be as unbiased as possible, the judges do not know the name of the band as they listen to entries. "There has been a lot more hip hop in the past few years," Lyrene said. "Last year, we played at the Jackpot for two nights and it was pretty full," Nichols said. "The bands were a lot of fun and it was a really diverse set. People were really into it." The winner will receive paid recording time and discounted band merchandise. Lyrene said previous winners included Stik Figa, Hawley Shoffner, Boo and Boo Too, Greg Enemy, and Ad Astra Per Aspera. The actual Farmer's Ball will take place during two nights. On Nov. 20 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., all eight acts will perform. The audience will vote, and the best four will perform again the next night at the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St. The audience will then vote to decide the winner. "Stik Figa was someone that no one really knew about," Lyrene said. "But now he's opening up for major acts." — Edited by Abbey Strusz Applications need to consist of a two to three song sample and can be e-mailed to kjh-kliveevents@gmail.com or mailed to KJHK 90.7FM Live Events, c/o Center for Campus Life, Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd. Rm.427, Lawrence, KS 66045.

People who stayed overnight wait in line to get a free swine flu vaccine during a vaccine clinic at the Fairfax County Government Center in Fairfax, Va., Saturday. President Obama recently declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency. WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients. Health authorities say more than 1,000 people in the United States, including almost 100 children, have died from the strain of flu known as H1N1, and 46 states have widespread flu activity. So far only 11 million doses have gone out to health departments, doctor's offices, and other providers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials. Administration officials said the declaration was a pre-empotive move designed to make decisions easier when they need to be made. Officials said the move was not in response to any single development. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius now has authority to bypass federal rules when opening alternative care sites. Some hospitals have opened drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat swine flu patients. The idea is to keep infectious people out of regular emergency rooms and away from other sick patients. Hospitals could modify patient rules — for example, requiring them to give less information — to quicken access to treatment, with government approval, under the declaration. It also addresses a financial question for hospitals — reimbursement for treating people at sites not typically approved. For instance, federal rules do not allow hospitals to put up treatment tents more than 250 yards away from the doors; if the tents are 300 yards or more away, typically federal dollars won't go to pay for treatment. Administration officials said those rules might not make sense while fighting the swine flu, especially if the best piece of pavement preemptive ..." He said such a step would give emergency rooms and hospitals the flexibility they need. "Many millions" of Americans have had swine flu so far, according to an estimate that CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden gave Friday.

He also said there have been more than 20,000 hospitalizations. is in the middle of a parking lot and some medical centers already are putting in place parts of their emergency plans.

"It's largely an administrative move that's more U.N. inspectors enter Iranian uranium plant ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran — U.N. inspectors entered a once-secret uranium enrichment facility with bunker-like construction and heavy military protection that raised Western suspicions about the extent and intent of Iran's nuclear program. The visit Sunday by the fourmember International Atomic Energy Agency team, reported by state media, was the first independent look inside the planned nuclear fuel lab, a former ammunition dump burrowed into the treeless hills south of Tehran and only publicly disclosed last month. The No results from the inspection are expected until the team leaves the country, but some Iranian officials hailed the visit as an example that their nuclear program was open to international scrutiny. "IAEA inspectors' visit to Fordo shows that Iran's nuclear activities are transparent and peaceful," the official IRNA news agency quoted lawmaker Hasan Ebrahimi as saying. Another test of Iran's cooperation is fast approaching, however. Iran has promised to respond this inspectors are expected to study plant blueprints, interview workers and take soil samples before wrapping up the three-day mission.

The current inspection of Iran's second enrichment site came about a month after Tehran disclosed its existence in a letter to the IAEA, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog. The notification to the U.N. agency came just days before President Barack Obama and other Western leaders claimed Iran has been hiding the facility from the world for years. proof is on Iran" to convince the international community its nuclear program is peaceful. The IAEA says Tehran should have reported it before it started construction. And the new facility, about 20 miles north of the holy city of Qom, immediately raised suspicions about the aim of the nuclear program — which Iran claims is only for peaceful research and energy production.

The result? An 11-play drive met by little protest from the Kansas defense save for a near goal-line stand that invited an invigorated crowd to dare dream that this game would be different. Photos by Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Reesing's short-lived Heisman bid was humbled. Likewise, a chance to reestablish the Jayhawks as the class of the Big 12 North was greatly missed in front of a national audience watching at home on ABC — just like last year's game in Norman, Okla. Fiesta Bowl representatives watched from the Kansas press box as the Jayhawks fell far short of topping an Oklahoma squad slowed by a 3-3 start. Alas, missed — and perhaps lost opportunities will be the book on Saturday's game, a 35-13 Kansas defeat. 'Rough day at the office' Reeing would be picked off twice more Saturday, completing one of the darker days in his storied Kansas career. The second interception came when an Oklahoma defensive lineman got a finger on Reeing's pass, allowing linebacker Jeremy Beal enough time to debate the merits of a public health-insurance option before collecting the turnover. 82 88 90 TAYLOR 89 0 Defensive back Dominique Franks made it a trilogy when he shot past wide receiver Bradley McDougald to steal away a pass without breaking stride en route to a touchdown.

But what left people startled after the game was the manner — and individual — responsible for the lopsided result: senior quarterback Todd Reesing and his three interceptions. Reesing's fist-pumps and knack for big plays have become standard during his four years at Kansas. It's expected and anything less is considered a disappointment. So after the game, as is the norm, Reeing plopped into a seat and started answering questions.

A: Dan Eichloff kicked a 61-yard field goal against Ball State in 1992. -Kansas Athletics MLS Wizards tie United, crushing playoff hopes KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Claudio Lopez's penalty kick in second-half stoppage time salvaged a 2-2 tie for the Kansas City Wizards against D.C. United on Saturday night. The draw effectively ended United's playoff hopes in the regular-season finale for both teams. Julius James' header in the 82nd minute gave United a 2-1 lead, but D.C. midfielder Fred drew a handball and automatic red card for using his arm to block Roger Espinoza's shot on the goal line in the second minute of extra time. Lopez put the ball past Steve Cronin for the second penalty-kick goal of the game. With six teams still in the hunt for the final two playoff spots going into the week-end, D.C. (9-8-13) could have qualified with a draw but would have needed plenty of help. The Wizards (8-13-9), winless in their final five matches, were eliminated with last week's 3-2 home loss to Seattle. Kei Kamara's 30th-minute header put the Wizards up 1-0, but Jaime Moreno, a late first-half sub, equalized with a penalty kick in the 67th after drawing a foul against Kansas City's Matt Marquess. Replays showed Moreno backing into Marquess, who was making his first appearance of the season, and falling backward to the pitch. James made it 2-1 after pounding on a short punch-save by Kansas City goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. Kamara's goal from 6 yards, off a free kick from Graham Zusi, was his sixth of the season but the first since Kansas City acquired him from Houston in mid-September. It was only the 12th first-half goal for Kansas City this year. The Wizards are 8-0-4 when scoring first. UFC104:Cain more than able MORNING BREW Associated Press O on a night capped by a controversial unanimous decision far from unanimous to those that watched, Cain Velasquez wrestled away the spotlight at UFC 104 with his second-consecutive domination of an opponent far bigger and more experienced than he. Before light heavyweight champion Ivoto Machida would retain his belt against a Mauricio "Shogun" Rua — who many pegged as the better fighter that night — Velasquez (7-0) turned in the same caliber of performance Saturday that earned current heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar a title shot a year ago. Recall that Lesnar landed a contract to fight Randy Couture after he dominated Heath Herring for three rounds in his home state of Minnesota. Five hours from his hometown of Salinas, Calif., Velasquez ignited the Staples Center by scoring takedowns at will against a much larger Ben Rothwell (6-foot-5 to Cain's 6-2, 265 pounds to his 238). To see a man the size of Rothwell (30-7), who made his UFC debut, thrown around like a discarded toy was staggering. Velasquez violently outwrestled Rothwell much in the way he BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR montemayor@kansas.com handled Cheick Kongo at UFC 99 in June. The difference was that vicious elbows and punches were peppered between the thundering single-leg takedowns. That difference turned a three-round domination in June into a one-and-a half round beatdown into a technical knockout that earned Velasquez a wealth of new fans and perhaps more. On my Kansan.com blog, The Full Monty, I remarked that Velausque was one of the sport's "great unknowns"—that we still may have no clue just how good, or great, he may be. Even after Saturday his potential seems to lack a ceiling. I also added with my predictions — 2-0 calling the double main event — another prognostication: a convincing Velasquez victory puts him in the main event of a potential UFC card in Mexico (Velasquez' country of origin and point of immense pride) against the winner of the Nov. 21 Lesnar-Shane Carwin title fight. A quick word on Machida-Rua. I was right in illustrating the dangers of crowning fighters the best in the sport. After Machida's May title victory, there was talk that he may never lose. Before Saturday, the superlatives continued to spread. And then Rua made Machida look, well, ordinary. The two traded painful punches and kicks early, with Machida looking like he took the best of them. The fight was contested largely on foot with Machida engaging in brief flurries but not really playing the aggressor. Whether or not Machida was overlooking Rua in concert with most media and fans, Rua looked to have secured the points needed for the title. He had Machida frustrated with each successive (and largely successful) kick. Boos flooded the Staples Center and mouths stood agape at the decision. That it was unanimous was curious at best. All parties involved basically agreed to a rematch which, perhaps, is the only satisfying outcome. STACKED MONTH AHEAD THE MORNING BREW lianenko vs. Brett Rogers, on CBS.

Friday's match against Nebraska (10-4-4, 4-3-2 Big 12) was the kind of defeat that takes awhile to completely digest. The Jayhawks came into the game knowing they had to win to keep any control over their playoff hopes. But within the first 32 minutes, the Cornhuskers deflated the Jayhawks by taking an early 3-0 lead. All three goals came from long strikes of more than 20 yards. Then, the Jayhawks looked like they might Then, the Ja like they might put together an inspired comeback.

"Every time we created a chance "Everytime we created a chance or were pressuring them, they just came down and got a goal." MONICA DOLINSKY Midfielder/forward or were pressuring them, they just came down and got a goal," said Dolinsky. Senior Estelle Johnson scored in the 72nd minute to bring a sliver of hope back to Kansas, but Nebraska continued its attack scoring two more. Sophomore Emily Cressy gave the Jayhawks one more with under a minute left in the game, but it wasn't enough to avoid a lopsided 7-4 lose. It was the highest-scoring match in Kansas history, and the second-highest in Big 12 history. The seven goals were the most the Jayhawks had allowed since 1999, which also came against Nebraska. Kansas players were at a loss after the game. "It's kind of a hit on our pride," senior Lauren Jackson said, "But we just have to move on." The Jayhawks held the nation's leading scorer, Morgan Marlborough, scoreless throughout the whole game, but the Cornhuskers' high-pressure attack and kick-and-chase style frustrated the Kansas defense all afternoon. "You have to drop down to their level, because they suck you into doing that," said Jackson. Despite the result, coach Mark Francis couldn't blame the loss on a lack of effort. Kansas continued to create scoring opportunities and make runs through the Nebraska defense late into the game. "Even when they got 5 or 6 we were still fighting and battling — we didn't quit," Francis said. "It's disheartening when you fight that hard on the field to give up some of the goals we did today." The loss essentially made Sunday's game against Iowa State (7-8-4, 2-7 Big 12) an elimination game. Both Kansas and Iowa State would be out of playoff contention with a loss. The Jayhawks attacked the Cyclones from the starting whistle as if their season depended on it. Kansas dominated the shot count, hitting 25 throughout the game, while Iowa State managed only seven. But the game remained scoreless until Cressy was tripped in the penalty area and the referee awarded Kansas a penalty kick. Dolinsky buried the shot in the net for the game's only goal. "The bottom line is we go into our last game with something to play for. We're still in there." "Last year I had a PK against them and I missed, so that raced through my head," Dolinsky said.

The team can only hope to come up big next Friday against Missouri, who leads the conference with a perfect record in the Big 12. "The bottom line is we go into our last game with something to play for," Francis said.

The Jayhawks were unable to come back from a two-point deficit in the first half, losing 4-7 NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS San Diego defeats Chiefs in 37-7 loss KANSAS CITY, Mo. — All that talk about San Diego getting better won't be all talk. Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes, LaDainian Tomlinson had a season-best 71 yards rushing and Nate Kaeding, who was vomiting with flulike symptoms Saturday, kicked three field goals. Six days after a disappointing Monday night loss to Denver in which they insisted they'd made strides, the Chargers swatted away the flu bug and stomped on Kansas City 37-7 Sunday, dominating in virtually every phase. "Last week, we felt like we made progress," Rivers said. "We had the attitude we were looking for, focus, but we didn't win. But we knew we got better." The Chargers (3-3) battled the flu much of the week. Tomlinson was unable to practice Wednesday, but the five-time Pro Bowel selection showed signs of getting back to his old self. His 36-yard run got the Chargers rolling on their first touchdown drive against the hapless Chiefs (1-6) and was his longest since last Dec. 28 against Denver. "It kind of got us going," Tomlinson said. "It was something we needed and it was a big play for us. It was a staple of our offense. It's been around for years, old power. It was perfectly blocked and was just a great job of execution." With cold rain falling in the fourth quarter and Chiefs fans probably thinking nothing else could go wrong, something else did. Jacob Hester blew in from Dustin Colquitt's right and blocked his punt. The ball cooperated nicely, skittering 20 yards back into the end zone and waiting there for Hester to fall on it for San Diego's final TD. "My leg was coming through and any time you heard that double thump ... I didn't see him at all until the last second," said Colquitt, whose punting has been one of the few bright spots for Kansas City. "That double thump is a bad sound." Virtually invincible in Arrowhead Stadium in the 1990s, the Chiefs have lost 10 straight at home and 29 of their last 32. "We want to win for the home fans, for us, for everyone out there watching," nose tackle Ron Edwards said. "It's real painful." Rivers was 18 for 30 for 268 yards and three TDs as the Chargers won their third in a row in Kansas City for the first time since 1981. They took a 20-0 halftime lead. "Any time you come to Kansas City and win, it's good," said Rivers, who had two 51-yard completions to Vincent Jackson. "We talked about getting on a roll and you've got to win one first before you can. Hopefully, this is something we can build on." The Chiefs had hoped a sloppy win over Washington the week before might provide some much-needed momentum to first-year coach Todd Haley's faltering program. But they played miserably in just about every phase. "You never want to lose at home and you never want to lose in this fashion," Cassel said. "It's going to be a hard film to watch." Cassel was only 10 for 25 for 97 yards. He threw three interceptions and an injured line allowed him to be sacked four times.

Kansas threw three interceptions in Saturday's 35-13 loss to the Sooners @ @KANSAN.COM Check out a photo gallery of the Oklahoma game at Kansan.com Notes Kansas drops out of rankings As expected, Kansas fell from the top 25 in both the AP poll and the USA Today poll. The Jayhawks were ranked 24th in the AP and 21st in the USA Today rankings. This marks the first time all season that Kansas hasn't been ranked in any of the polls. Only three teams in the Big 12 remain in the polls, and the Big 12 North is currently without any ranked teams. jogged onto the field with three seconds remaining in the first half to attempt a 57-yard field goal, some inside Memorial Stadium were certainly scratching their heads. Branstetter's 57-yard field goal the longest of his college career When junior kicker Jacob Branstetter After all, Branstetter's previous career-long was a 34-yard field goal. But Branstetter connected on the field goal and cut Oklahoma's halftime lead to 14-6. Branstetter sprinted from midfield all the way to Kansas' locker room after the kick. Kansas not awed by Oklahoma "That was the craziest feeling I've ever had," Branstetter said. "When I hit it I was like, 'Man, I think I hit it far enough.' Then I was trying to say 'Stay left, stay left.' When it stayed in there, I went nuts." Oklahoma is undoubtedly one of the Big 12's most storied football programs. After the game, though, the Jayhawks said there was no sense of anger or playing at a disadvantage against the Sooners. "We felt like we should've had a lead," sophomore center Jeremiah Hatch said. "Those guys put on their pants the same way we put on our pants. We felt like we contenders in the game." In fact, players said that Kansas should have had a lead heading into halftime. Instead, Kansas trailed Oklahoma 14-6. But until Kansas State and Iowa State shock us once or twice more, all this really boils down to for Kansas is alming for the Big 12 North title. Like its heartbreaker a week ago, Kansas was felled while its supposed top competition faltered, too. All things held constant, Kansas could yet be the best of a six-team bunch being groomed for a beatdown in the Big 12 title game. Colorado redux — only worse. COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Colorado redux — only worse. That magic, that tossed-up prayer answered, that superlative moment like so many we've come to expect was missing. Jayson Jenks "There are no excuses," coach Mark Mangino said. "He has made some throws that he should not have. He knows that, we all know that." There's little reason to think Kansas has much more than a fighter's chance in Lubbock on Halloween night. But strangely it's not the Kansas defense that looks worse off. No, that unit actually held Oklahoma to seven first-half points (Reesing supplied the other score with the aforementioned pick-six). Kansas simply couldn't make good on its opportunities Saturday, inside and out of Lawrence. And so Kansas State and Iowa State — not Kansas, Missouri or Nebraska — sit atop the Big 12 North standings on Oct. 26, with just five games left to play. The Cyclones could have been cited for indecent exposure in Lincoln, Neb., as they practically depended the Cornhuskers and their bid for a special year. Without the aid of quarterback Austen Arnaud and one of the Big 12's leading rushers in running back Alexander Robinson, Iowa State held on for a 9-7 victory against Nebraska, its defense forcing a whopping eight turnovers in Memorial Stadium's 302nd sellout. At Faurot Field, Texas smacked Missouri in the final result of 41-7 in the second half of ABC's production of the Haves (Big 12 South) vs. the Have-Nots (Big 12 North). Edited by Amanda Thompson Weston White/KANSAI 14 Junior place kicker Jacob Branstetter raises his arms after nailing a 57-yard field goal to end the second quarter Saturday afternoon against Oklahoma. Branstetter recorded one other field goal in Kansas' 35-13 loss. The 57-yard field goal marked a career long for Branstetter and tied for the fourth longest in KU history. "I felt like the wav I had been kicking the ball in practice and the last couple of games I had been really hitting the ball really solid," Branstetter said.

Senior running back Jake Sharp breaks away from the Oklahoma defense during a 56-yard reception, which his was longest play from scrimmage thus far this season. Sharp also rushed for 14 yards on seven carries in the Jayhawk's 35-13 loss. BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com t In Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Todd Reesing left the pocket to give his receivers time to run their deep routes. Or, he left to scramble for a first down. But most of the time, the 5-foot-11 Reeing had to leave the pocket just so he could get a throw off without it getting knocked down by Oklahoma's intimidating defensive line. "Their front four is about as big and physical as you're going to see," Reeing said. "They did a pretty good job getting pressure on some of our longer, down-the-field throws. With the pressure they're able to get, with how good their defensive line is, it's a little bit tougher to sit in the pocket and wait for those to open up." Coach Mark Mangino said that sometimes Reesing had to slide right or left to find a window, and other times he had to use a sidearm delivery to get the ball to his receivers. Mangino praised Oklahoma's defensive front four for their ability to reach into the passing lanes and affect Reesing's throws. Center Jeremiah Hatch, who squared off with top five NLL draft prospect Gerald McCoy for most of the game, said it was a big challenge to play against one of the best units in college football. "But we got to play as a team no matter who we're going against," Hatch said. "They were pretty good though." The best play by the defensive line came in the first quarter when defensive Jeremy Beal deflected a pass attempt and immediately intercepted the next play — a pass from Reeing that defensive tackle Adrian Taylor had tipped high into the air. Beal was dropping into pass coverage and recorded his first career interception. In the third quarter, McCoy also deflected a Reesing pass to go with his two tackles for loss. Beal and Taylor picked up two unofficial quarterback hurries each. Senior running back lake Sharp said he first noted the Oklahoma defensive unit's strategies while watching a film of its performance against Texas. The unit continued to impress Sharp throughout the game by playing hard on every snap. Sharp picked up just 14 yards on seven carries. Hatch said that he thought that the Sooner defensive line was only the first roadblock that the Jayhawks would hit in conference play. He said even better defensive lines were in store. Edited by Brenna M. T. Daldorph 85 KU 20 Freshman cornerback D.J. Beshears misses a tackle against Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles. Beshes recorded 7 total tackles from the game, second most for the team. Jerry Wang/KANSAN FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Rough day at the office for us." Reesing said. "That's for sure." For the second consecutive week, Reesing's first-half turnovers placed Kansas in the bottom of a hole, forced to claw and scrap to even reach level surface. Against Colorado, Reesing's two turnovers led to 14 points. The same scenario happened Saturday when Reesing's miscues allowed Oklahoma to score an offensive touchdown and return an interception 85 yards for another score. After the game, though, Reesing's teammates and coaches rallied around their quarterback. Mangino said some of the blame should be placed on his shoulders. Reesing's teammates said that he would be fine and that bad games could — and did — happen to anyone. If there was any resentment, Kansas players kept those cards face-down. They wanted to make one point certainly clear: Todd Rees is human. "No one is perfect," sophomore center Jeremiah Hatch said. "He's not Superman," sophomore cornerback Ryan Murphy said. But the standard Reesing built with big plays and an Orange Bowl victory almost portrayed a superhero-type quarterback sent from Texas to rescue a middling football program. "That expectation is there, and it's there for a reason," Reeing said. "If you don't have that kind of expectation then you're not doing something right. It's frustrating because I hold myself to the highest standard out of anybody. Nobody takes that performance harder than I do." Fair or not — accurate or unrealistic that's become the level people in Lawrence expect. The general thought around those who've played or currently play with Reesing is rather simple. He's going to scramble. He's going to attempt to make big plays. And more often than not, he's going to be successful. Yet Saturday marked a rare game when Reesing simply faltered, digging an almost insurmountable hole considering the lockdown nature of Oklahoma's defense. And the turnovers only piled more pressure onto Kansas' defenders, who held Oklahoma in check through the first half before allowing two touchdowns early in the third quarter that put the game out of reach. "They put us in position to make good plays and get us in the ball game," Reeing said. "And we let them down today." If not for a late touchdown with the game all but finished. Saturday would have marked the first time Kansas failed to score an offensive touchdown since 2005. In that game, Kansas played against — you guessed it — Oklahoma The Sooners entered Saturday with plenty of hype surrounding their defense. The success started early with a relentless and physically loaded defensive line that routinely pressured Reeing, Kansas' receivers, meanwhile, struggled with separation against the secondary's speed. "With how athletic their defense is and with how much overall speed they have, you can't be late on a read." Reesing said. "If you're a half-second on a throw or just a little bit off the spot, they're going to be there to make a play on it." DINE.

Jacob Branstetter. Branstetter connected on both of his field goal attempts late in the second quarter, cutting Oklahoma's halftime lead to 14-6. Branstetter's second attempt sailed a career-long 57 yards. Plus, he erupted into a classic celebration, sprinting from midfield all the way to Kansas' locker room. With 11 minutes left in the game, Memorial Stadium was more half-empty than half-full. The student section was sparsely dotted with fans, the game day towels remained at people's sides and the electricity and noise from earlier in the afternoon had been switched off. Reesing's three turnovers weren't the only reason for Kansas' loss, but they certainly placed the Jayhawks in a steep uphill battle they couldn't overcome. Delay of Games "The turnovers set the tempo of the game and put us in a hole early," coach Mark Mangino said. "We had to play catch-up football and we can't do that to ourselves. We've done that now a couple weeks in a row" Game Balls Sophomore cornerback Ryan Murphy on the struggles of senior quarterback Todd Reesing: "He's going to make mistakes sometimes, and he's not going to play a perfect game every single time. I mean, he's not Superman." Edited by Amanda Thompson Jeff Wheeler. In the first half Wheeler jumped offside, effectively negating senior Darrell Stuckey's forced and recovered fumble deep inside Oklahoma territory. Then, on the Sooners' first drive after halftime, Wheeler was flagged for roughing the passer after Kansas forced an upcoming third down. Todd Reesing. Reesing tossed three first-half interceptions, including one that was returned 85 yards for a touchdown.Kansas' senior quarterback also struggled with his accuracy. He completed just 53 percent of his passes and missed a handful of open receivers. Murphy D. J. Beshears. Granted, Beshears did make his first start on Saturday and, at times, made nice open-field tackles. But he was flagged for two blatantly obvious pass interference calls and had to be replaced by sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson in the second half Quote of the Game Huldon Tharp. Tharp, a freshman, has continued to improve with more playing time this season. That trend continued on Saturday. Tharp recorded seven tackles and, at times, made big plays when defending the pass. Play of the Game Notes STILL QUESTIONING... After sophomore defensive back Ryan Murphy's interception, Kansas moved the ball to Oklahoma's 40 with only seconds remaining in half. Junior kicker Jacob Branstetter trotted onto the field and booted a career-long 57-yard field goal as time expired. The kick cut Oklahoma's lead to 14-6 and sent Branstetter sprinting to the locker room. LOOKING AHEAD... THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY.. THE GLASS IS HALF FULL.. BIGGEST ANSWER... GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? D-LINE DOING ITS JOB? For the second consecutive week, Kansas' once-maligned defense played well enough to pull out a victory. The Jayhawks clamped down in the first half, consistently forcing the Sooners to punt. Kansas held Oklahoma to 14 first-half points and 85 rushing yards in the game. The Big 12 North. No one, it seems, has any idea of what to expect in the North this season. Preseason favorites Nebraska and Kansas each have two losses. So, too, do Colorado and Iowa State. Kansas State sits atop the conference with a 3-1 record. Basically, the Big 12 North is still completely up for grabs. Kansas was never really competitive with Oklahoma after halftime. The Sooners scored on their first two possessions, while the Jayhawks continued to struggle offensively. Oklahoma afforded Kansas a chance to grab a signature home victory. Instead, similar to last season, the Jayhawks failed to keep it close after halftime. Kansas' defensive front didn't sack Oklahoma freshman quarterback Landry Jones. But, other than that, the Jayhawks played a solid game. Kansas didn't allow Oklahoma much room to run the ball, and the Jayhawks didn't give Jones enough time to find receivers for big plays down the field. Kansas isn't ready to compete with the Big 12's top teams. True, Oklahoma entered Saturday 3-3. But the Sooners are still one of the conference's best teams. Kansas was never really in the game after halftime and appeared outmatched athletically at times. Original prediction: Oklahoma 42, Kansas 35. Actual score: Oklahoma 35, Kansas 13. The Sooners entered the game with plenty of phy surrounding their defense, and the unit didn't disappoint on Saturday. Still, it's hard to ever predict that Reesing will toss three interceptions. Kansas travels to the plains of Texas to face the pass-heavy attack of Texas Tech. The Jayhawks revamped secondary will be put to the Big 12's best test next week as the Red Raiders lead the conference in passing yards. Kansas needs two or three turnovers to keep it close. FINAL THOUGHT... The good news:The Big 12 North is still open for the taking as mediocrity seems to surround each team. The bad news:Kansas has arguably the most difficult remaining schedule of any team.

The victory ended the Cyclones' 15-game Big 12 losing streak in games played away from Ames, Iowa. Iowa State was able to hold on despite losing starting quarterback Austen Arnaud to an injury to his throwing hand. Backup quarterback Jerome Tiller rushed for 65 yards on 19 carries. The Cyclones didn't have Big 12 leading rusher Alexander Robinson either. He sat out with a groin injury, and freshman running back Jeremiah Schwartz picked up 50 yards in his place.

HP Once again, he rode running back Daniel Thomas for 20 carries and 145 yards to pull away from Colorado, But though the running game has been crucial for the Wildcats, the defense's improvement has been the biggest key for Kansas State's success. After getting just six turnovers in the first six games, the Wildcats have forced 10 turnovers in the last two weeks. Colorado took a 6-3 lead in the first quarter, but the Wildcats' running game wore down the Buffaloes' defense. The last time Colorado quarterback Tyler Hansen faced Kansas State, he improvised all over the field and led his team to a 14-13 victory. The Wildcats were prepared for Hansen this time, holding the quarterback to just 81 total yards. He was replaced by Cody Hawkins in the second half.

Texas Tech junior quarterback Taylor Potts returned from an injury to start for coach Mike Leach, but turned the ball over three times and "No More Potts" chants rained from the student section.

Dzuba and her partner, junior Kate Goff, recorded their first victory of the season as doubles partners. Jayhawks wrap up season Off-season will provide team with time to focus BY ANDREW POSCH aposch@kansan.com Alie Dzuba hung her head as she walked off the court after losing in three close sets to Ana Gomez Almaso of FC Barcelona. Kansas State. The last weekend of play for the fall tennis season ended with an air of disappointment for Kansas. The Jayhawks competed in two weekend tournaments - the "Some games we played well,but I don't think we put the package together for this tournament." Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional tournament in Norman, Okla., and the KU Invitational at First Serve — and came out with a combined 11-19 record. Other than a 3-2 performance by junior Maria Martinez at the KU tournament, no team member posted a winning record. In Norman, the doubles teams of Sara Lazarevic and Ekaterina Morozova and Erin Wilbert and Victoria Khanevskaya both opened play Thursday with first round losses. But both duos recovered from the early deficits and won their consolation rounds against On the singles side, sophomores Wilbert and Morozova recorded victories in the first round and then were eliminated in the second. Despite losing in the first round. Wichita State University and Saint Louis University. AMY HALL-HOLT Tennis coach freshman Lazarevic bounced back to win two consolation rounds against Minnesota and Saint Louis. She nearly got through the quarterfinals of the back draw, but a three-set loss to Oklahoma ended her run. "Some games we played well, but I don't think we put the package together for this tournament," coach Amy Hall Holt said. Maybe the team didn't finish as well as she hoped, but she was quick to point out that she wasn't discouraged. "We did some really good things at regional, but we still have a lot of growing to 40," Hall-Holt said. "Now the girls "We saw some good things and some things we need to work on."

She began Friday with a three-set loss to Abilene Christian, and then suffered an elbow injury in the consolation round Saturday, which kept her from playing any more matches. She spent the rest of the weekend cheering for her teammates on the sidelines. "The weekend was positive," Dalmagro said. "We saw some good things and some things we need to work on. It gave us a perspective of where we are and where we need to be. Now we can look forward to the off-season and work hard on individual improvement to get ready for the spring." The other Jayhawk doubles team of junior Kate Goff and Dzuba tallied one victory together, but it took three tries to achieve it. The first two days resulted in losses to New Mexico and Abeline Christian, but they battled back to defeat Iowa State 8-4 Sunday. It took three sets for Ana Gomez Aleman to defeat Dzuba, and each one was close. The rest of the Kansas team was already finished and supported Dzuba from the side of the court, but Aleman eventually prevailed to earn a 6-3, 4-6, 10-8 victory. With three months of off-season ahead of it, the squad will now have some time to focus on that improvement. The Jayhawks will open their spring season Jan. 30 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Singles play for Dzuba gave her a taste of what might be to come during spring conference play. Besides one match against New Mexico, her other three matchups were against Big 12 opponents — one from Iowa State and two from in-state rival Kansas State. "It got the team cheering for me," Dzuba said of the long match. "She was a good player and just stepped it up." When it was all said and done, assistant coach German Dalmagro had critical, yet supportive thoughts about the tournament. The Wildcats prevailed both times, the last one being the final fall match for the lavahawks.

Associated Press Who's Who at KU Milton Wendland cbullis@kansan.com BY COURTNEY BULLIS With sunglasses perched atop his head and tattoos covering his arms and legs, it may not be obvious that Milton Wendland is a lawyer, teacher and feminist. His carefree persona, however, is a key way in which he fulfills these duties and motivates students. "This time we are working with the Douglas County Community Aids Project because there are all these new statistics about HIV not just in Africa, where it is a pandemic, but in the U.S. in American Studies. While working on his research, Wendland took a few undergraduate women, gender and sexuality studies classes and developed an interest in this area of study as well. One of its main goals is to raise awareness to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. "His background and the way he expresses his passion for what he does inspires me to act the same in my life." Maddie Davis, Scotttsdale, Ariz., junior, said. Now a graduate teaching assistant for the WGSS department, Wendland teaches courses in women's studies, American culture, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history. Wendland, a KU alumnus,left the University in 1999 with a bachelor's in sociology and a law degree. "It is actually rising even though HIV/AIDS has been around since the mid-80s and we have had all this education." Wendland said. Stacey Burton, the education and outreach coordinator for DCAP, said that Wednland had had his students volunteer for the annual DCAP Art Auction. Douglas County AIDS Project, a sub-group of the United Way of Douglas County, provides services including counseling and HIV testing — for people affected by HIV/AIDS. He moved around the country, from New York City to Key West, to practice law, but returned to the University to finish his doctorate "Milton is offering them a more hands on, real world experience and it gives students a way to become involved in the community," Burton said. "I think what Milton is doing is great." Wendland also uses service learning to teach students about issues of gender and sexuality. Between service learning and real life experience, Wendland also works to break down stereotypes about those who study WGSS.

He also owns a farm that includes horses and livestock. Chance Dibden/ARMAN Tim Iwig, operator of Iwig Dairy Farm, milks a cow in the milking barn Monday afternoon. Interest in Iwig Family Dairy's product has jumped in the week since Iwig announced that he'd be selling shares of the company to ward off foreclosure. Local dairy warding off foreclosure BY JUSTIN LEVERETT jleverett@kansan.com A local dairy farm fought to save itself from foreclosure last week by offering to sell $1,000 shares of the company to its customers. The Iwig Family Dairy, located just outside Topeka in Tecumseh, sells milk exclusively in glass jugs. The milk is available only at Dillon's, Hy-Vee and the Community Mercantile in Lawrence. Iwig said about 60 people offered to purchase shares in the company, far surpassing the $40,000 the business needed. But the farm is not out of danger yet. The government's Farm Service Agency is reluctant to renew its guarantee of the farm's loans because it has historically failed to make a profit. Until the agency approves this guarantee, Tim Iwig, the farm's owner, cannot accept his customers' offers to purchase shares. Follow Justin Leverett at twitter. com/schmendric. The farm opened in 2004, and during the first four years of its existence, construction costs kept it from earning a profit, despite consistently rising sales. In 2008, the farm had its first profitable quarter Then the economic recession hit, and when gas prices rose, people conserved their money by cutting down on premium-quality milk. Iwg Family Dairy's milk is more expensive than national brands because of the farms' small size and because of the glass containers, which the Iwigs said made the milk taste better. "We had high-priced grain in '08, record-high feed prices, record-high fuel, along with decreased sales volume. And when I thought that we might be getting ready to pull out of it, the milk price crashed," he said. Alison King, Lawrence senior, said she bought a jug of lwig milk recently because she heard the farm was having trouble and because she enjoys the taste. Iwig Family Dairy lost a third of its business that year. "It's the difference between conventionally produced milk on a large dairy farm and a smaller operation," he said. "Theirs is a lot sweeter." To win the Farm Service Agency's guarantee, Iwig has been working with a consultant to increase the farm's profitability. He plans to start selling milk in plastic as well as glass jugs. Milk in plastic jugs will cost less because the packaging is less expensive. He also plans to open the farm to tours by local schools and change a corn patch on the property into a corn maze. David Nole, assistant director of the Topeka Boy Scouts of America, was one of the customers who offered to buy a share of the farm. He said he had purchased milk for his family from the Iwig Family Dairy since the farm opened. "Supporting a local dairy, supporting a local producer of any sort that's growing something natural, is just the right thing to do," he said. "I think it'd be a loss to our community if we didn't have the Iwigs there." Despite its continued financial troubles, twig said he thought the farm would survive in the long run. "As far as I can see, there's a path, and there's a light at the end of the path," he said.

Lethal prescriptions are initial focus in Smith case Prosecutors blame psychiatrist for high dosages of six drugs BY LINDA DEUTSCH LOS ANGELES — With a preliminary hearing in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case nearing its end, prosecutors are focusing on the opinions of a pharmacist and his associate who say the celebrity model was being prescribed enough drugs to kill her. Associated Press Pharmacist Ira Freeman testified Thursday he refused to fill a request for medications from Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Smith's psychiatrist. Freeman said the dosage amounts requested were so high they would constitute "pharmaceutical suicide."

Thompson, the retired director of the poison control and drug information center at the University of Southern California. He said Thompson agreed the doses being requested for six drugs were "outrageously high." Prosecutors displayed an enlarged, handwritten letter sent by Eroshevich to Kapoor introducing herself and asking him for six medications: Dilaudid, Lorazapam (also known as Ativan), Soma, Dalmane, Prexige and methodone Freeman said Eroshevich was seeking to prescribe Dalmane, a sleeping medication, at eight times the normal usage. She also wanted Soma, a muscle relaxant, in high dosage, he said. The request came just after Smith had given birth to a baby and witnessed the death of her son, Daniel. Eroshevich, also a friend and neighbor, had been visiting Los Angeles pharmacies collecting medications to take to Smith in the Bahamas, according to testimony. comment, the pharmacist said.

EDITORIAL BOARD More certified nurses increases hospital care Lawrence Memorial Hospital and its nurses, should be applauded for their efforts to increase the number of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) certified nurses. Because of a lack of certified nurses, the hospital recently had to send sexual assault victims to hospitals in Kansas City and Janice Early-Weas director of community relations and community education at the hospital, said currently, the hospital had seven SANE certified nurses who were on call for taking evidence and two certified nurses who would collect evidence if on duty but not on call. Two additional nurses have received certification and are currently going through orientation. This leaves the hospital with 11 certified nurses, which is almost double the number the hospital had just a few weeks ago, and that number is going to continue to rise "We have five nurses in Tennessee this week for SANE training," Early-Weas said. To be SANE certified, a nurse must complete a 40-hour training course and then, once the course is completed, the nurse must observe on a certain number of sexual assault cases. Early-Weas said. The closest course offered is in Tennessee. "it's hard to say how long the certification process takes," she said. "It varies on the number of patients KANSAN'S OPINION we see" The hospital has offered no additional incentives to its nurses to get certified. Early-Weas said, but they have always paid for Registered nurse Katherine Humphrey, a graduate of the KU School of Nursing who works at a hospital in the Kansas City area, said she got SANE certified last year because she believed there "needed to be a gentler hand who worked one-on-one with the patients." the course and all travel expenses "If you go to court and you're not certified, you have to prove your capability to do your job as a nurse." Humphrey also said she got the certification because it would give her credibility in court. "I'm there to take care of my patient and collect evidence, not to judge," Humphrey said. Humphrey said. "If you're certified there is no question ... it makes you an expert witness." Kathy Guth, a nurse practitioner in women's health and SANE certified nurse at Watkins Memorial Hospital, has been certified since 1994. She said she became certified because there were so few nurses trained to perform the exam. "We only had one other nurse who was certified and since I am in women's health, it seemed appropriate for me to do it." Early-Weas said 49 patients at the hospital had been seen for sexual assault between Jan. 1 through Oct. 15. This is an increase from 2008, when the hospital saw 35 victims in the entire year. Early-Weas said that the hospital's goal was to always treat sexual assault victims when they could. "With more certified nurses this goal is achievable: Early. Weas, said. With the increase in sexual assaults in Lawrence, the nurses at the hospital should be applauded for their efforts to become SANE certified and students should once again be reminded to always keep their safety a priority. — Kate Larrabee for The Kansan Editorial Board WOW- AMELIA EARHART'S MISSING REMAINS MIGHT HAVE JUST NOW BEEN LOCATED AFTER SEVENTY YEARS.

NICHOLAS SAMBALUK POLITICALLY CORRECT Good or bad: The public option As the health care debate wages on, deciding if legislation should include a public option for health coverage remains one of many contentious issues among Washington lawmakers and the American public. Here's what three of our columnists think about the public option: LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH BE THE MAY EN The biggest complaint I've heard about the option tends to be that it would force people out of their better coverage. This is usually based on pure conjecture and backed by private insurance companies afraid of the impending competition. And that is what the public option will be to them: competition. There is no end of American society from this plan. There is no bankruptcy of the medical system. There is merely a new player in health insurance. Soon enough, those of us still on our parents' insurance plans will not be able to get that coverage. A public option would, at the very least, guarantee us coverage until we could afford it ourselves. Those who oppose "socialized" insurance will be required to opt in to it. That is the point of an "option." If you can afford private insurance and want it, it will still be yours. THE LAWRENCIAN DAN THOMPSON - Cohen is a Topeka senior in political science. Students have a number of compelling reasons to support the Democrats' health insurance reform, and it is in their interest that a public option be included in that plan. People between the ages of 19 to 29 are the most uninsured age group in the country, and 56 percent of the uninsured in this group are full-time workers. DANTHOMPSON Significantly, the proposed reform would allow young people to stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26. For those students who do not have that option, the government would provide subsidies based upon income level for individuals to purchase health insurance. If the government mandates that individuals have health insurance, as the current plans do and should do, then it is imperative that these individuals have an alternative to purchasing a plan through a private insurer. This means the government must provide some form of public option. THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON - Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics. Here are three reasons why students should oppose the public option. How are we going to pay for it? President Obama says we will pay for most of it by eliminating "waste, fraud and abuse" in the system. Very few people on either side of the isle are naive enough to believe that. First, its projected cost exceeds $1 trillion. It is hard to comprehend this much money. If you spent a dollar per second, it would take you 32,000 years to spend $1 trillion. Secondly, health care represents one sixth of our economy. Our government has proven it can't even run a railroad. Mixing private healthcare decisions with government bureaucras is a dangerous prescription for both our personal health and the health of our economy. Third, it will lead to long lines and a rationing of care. How can you insure 50 million more patients with no extra doctors when there is already a shortage? - Compton is a Wichita senior in political science. WHO DO YOU THINK IS POLITICALLY CORRECT?

This is, after all, a public document. That's right, Coach, the wait is over: This is my official letter of intent to play men's basketball at the University of Kansas. But we can't afford to waste any more time. At this point, I will have to come in as a walk-on. I welcome this opportunity to prove myself in open tryouts and show you and the other coaches that the hype about me is justified. I realize that NCAA procedure usually calls for you to provide me with a letter of intent to sign, but I still haven't received it. I did however receive your lawyer's numerous "cease and desist" notices. One would have been enough, but it was a clever move on your part. Throw the other Big 12 coaches off the recruiting trail. Well plaved. I know I've been coy about committing to the University of Kansas. I hope you didn't take the picture I e-mailed you of me in a Texas jersey personally. Al, my agent — who is also a fantastic barber and has some fascinating theories about the Cuban missile crisis — said it would be a good idea. I do what Al says. He's the brains. I'm just the once-in-a-generation talent Speaking of that talent, let me take this moment to tell you and the fans what exactly I bring to the team. Like so many celebrated athletes, I have turned my perceived weaknesses into strengths. Take my relative obscurity as a ballplayer. Though I'm already a senior, I've never played at the college, or even junior college, level. I didn't play in high school 47 BEN UNGLESBEE either, actually, unless you count gym class. Most of my memories of that time are foggy or repressed altogether, but I do recall the sounds of applause and cheers every time Mr. Applebee sat me down for a breather. What does this mean for you, Coach? There are exactly zero scouting reports on me out there in the hands of our rivals. Except for the other coaches who have sent me recruiting materials and/or legal threats, it's possible that nobody's even heard of me. I am the ultimate "dark horse" recruit. It also means that I'm still not used to playing on the hardwood. I've played mostly only outdoors on asphalt. Also, I don't have a whole lot of experience playing with, or against, other people. But that's what practice is for, right Coach? Now, I'm aware that there are some concerns about my size. Just how tall am I? Well, that's one of those classic NCAA controversies. If you need a definitive answer, here it is: I am as tall as you need me to be. (But I'm definitely well under six feet.) This is a big day for both of us. And it's just the beginning. We have a season to look ahead to and a championship trophy to win. I'll see you at tryouts, coach. Rock chalk. Unglesbee is an Overland Park senior in creative writing and economics. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kickoff chant: 'lust boo it' Fans and supporters of the University of Kansas, your school's reputation has been hijacked during our home football games. Perhaps some believe that too much attention has been given to this topic. However, the same vulgar, inappropriate phrase continues to sound loudly from the student section during kickoffs. Although KU supporters should be feeling great pride in a football program that has finally reached the status of being television-worthy each and every game, we allow a relative few people voice obscenities loudly throughout the stadium and into the homes of everyone watching on television or listening on radio. While families should be enjoying beautiful fall weather at the stadium on Saturdays, those of us with children must stay away because of what our children will hear. While we should be enjoying the banter with fans of Kansas State, Missouri and others about our academic and athletic superiority, we must ultimately listen to fans from other schools chide us for our slip into classlessness with the use of and the acceptance of this phrase. What am I asking you to do? I am asking you to boo! I'm not a fan of booing and particularly not a fan of booing one's own. In this case, however, I believe that the best thing we .an do is to let the voice of the masses be heard. Every time the inappropriate phrase is uttered, boo it. Boo it loudly. Boo it passionately. Boo it every time. Administrators, put it on the scoreboard. Print shirts that say, "just boo it!" Let not only the perpetrators, but the rest of the college football world know that true supporters of the University of Kansas do not accept this kind of behavior. When television and radio audiences hear 45,000 people booing the actions of 3,000,they will know what KU fans stand for. Duane Mellenbruch is a University of Kansas alumnus from Lawrence.

GBIF has sponsored representatives from 51 countries and 42 international organizations for almost a decade, according to a news release. Originally, Kristalaka's involvement with GBIF was informal. He said he helped to plan the initial stages of GBIF with its early founders. The University had a large hand in the process of creating the database, as well. "We were one of the first institutions to set an example for what was to become GBIF by developing and implementing community networks for the mobilization of biodiversity data associated with collections of animals and plants of museums worldwide," he said. The executive committee includes individuals from eight countries including Denmark, Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Germany and the U.S. Jennifer Humphrey, director of communications at the Natural History Museum, said Kristtalka's position with GBIF was a great opportunity for the University and the museum. "It shows that this institution is known globally for its efforts in biodiversity education and research," she said. Andres Lira, a graduate student from Mexico who does research at the museum, said that Kristalka deserved the posi tion and that it would reflect the University positively. "I think he is a pioneer and he has done a great job so far as the director of the biodiversity institute." has done a great job so far as the director of the biodiversity institute" he said. ANDRES LIRA Graduate student "I think he is a pioneer and he As part of the science committee, Kristalka will have to make recommendations to GBIF. He said he estimated his new position would require about 5 to 10 percent of his time. He will also be required to attend two international meetings a year one in Copenhagen and one in an annually designated host country. In 2010, Kristalka will head to Seoul, Korea for the gathering. Although he will be in a group of dozens of international individuals, he said no one underestimated the importance of Kansas. "The University of Kansas, the Biodiversity Institute and our Natural History Museum have a worldwide international reputation for excellence and leadership in all the areas of biodiversity science, especially based on the actual collections of animals and plants," Kristhalka said. He said the University was especially recognized for its progress in biodiversity informatics, the merging of informational technology and molecular biology. For Krishtalka, the new position is a challenge and a unique chance. "This is an opportunity to make a difference," he said. "And if KU Biodiversity Institute can make a difference — regionally, nationally and internationally — in sustaining the biodiversity resources of the planet for science and for the good society — the common good — what a great opportunity." — Edited by Abby Olcese HOLIDAY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "The tradition says that the veil between the world we're living in and the world of the dead are thinnest on that day."

The organization hosted a discussion on vampires last night and will lead a lecture on witchcraft in the Kansas Union tonight. The events are meant to spread awareness and appreciation for pagan beliefs, in addition to providing an outlet for student followers of the religions. energy by simply being near them, to vampires who feed on real blood obtained from willing donors. The club kicked off the week last night with guest speaker Hilary Hauber. Hauber, Overland Park graduate student and religious studies major, taught the club about her research on vampire religion. The group learned about the different types of vampirism ranging from vampires who draw on people's Hauber said although she did not know any local vampires, she had read about vampires in the Kansas City area. "I know that there are vampires in Kansas City." Hauber said. "I don't know the extent of their involvement, but I know that they are here." "It's an opportunity for students to go to something spooky," Adkison said. "it's also a way for us to reach out to students who are interested in or practicing this stuff and don't know that there is a student group for it." Manning said the week would conclude with the Samhain ritual, called a dumb supper, at his house on Saturday evening. The group will prepare a meal of pumpkin stew and a portion of each person's meal will be left aside as an overnight offering for lost loved ones. Manning said the group would eat its meals Halloween coming up. Tonight, the club will host its second annual witchcraft lecture. The event, "Wicca: The Religion of Witchcraft," will begin at 7 p.m. in the English Room of the Kansas Union.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Dance Marathon's final event last year at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, said she especially wanted to make sure she supported the cause again because of its local emphasis. Williams said the Kansas Dance Marathon raised approximately $20,000 last year, which was its first year as a student organization at the University. She said the group hoped to double that amount and contribute $50,000 to the two charities before May. — Edited by Jacob Muselmann Williams said the group would likely hold 10 more fundraisers before the final event in April, where the contribution is presented. She said smaller upcoming fundraisers would include; soccer, dodge ball and basketball tournaments, a trivia night and possibly a movie night featuring films from the "Twilight" series. "We had a pumpkin gutting party at my house last night," Williams said, adding that they filled an entire 10-gallon trash can with the pulp.

South Salt Lake police spokesman Gary Keller has said 42-year-old Tai Ngo allegedly latched a metal chain around the boy's ankle that was attached to a 3-foot-long nylon rope tied to a couch leg. A charge of third-degree felony abuse or neglect of a disabled child was filed last week. Court records did not list an attorney for Ngo. The boy was found in an apartment rented by his grandmother at a public housing unit. Ngo was arrested Oct. 14 after a property manager called police.

Aly Van Dvke POLITICS Public option health care now may be up to states WASHINGTON Health care legislation heading for the Senate floor will give millions of Americans the option of purchasing government-run insurance coverage, Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Monday. Reid, D-Nev, said individual states would have the choice of opting out of the program. His announcement was cheered by liberal lawmakers, greeted less effusively by the White House and noted with a noncommittal response by Democratic moderates whose votes will be pivotal. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, the only Republican to vote with Democrats on health care so far this year, issued a statement saying she was "deeply disappointed" in the approach the Democratic leader had chosen. Reid said, "While the public option is not a silver bullet, I believe it's an important way to ensure competition and to level the playing field for patients with the insurance industry." Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS HISTORY The port bow railing of the RMS Titanic lies in 12,600 feet of water about 400 miles east of Nova Scotia. RMS Titanic, Inc. has proposed the first expedition to the North Atlantic wreck site since 2004. RMS Titanic, Inc. seeks to salvage shipwreck BY STEVE SZKOTAK Associated Press Associated Press NORFOLK, Va. - The company that has exclusive rights to salvage the Titanic wants to make another expedition to the world's most famous shipwreck in 2010. RMS Titanic Inc.'s expedition would be the first by the salvor since 2004, though two other expeditions have been to the site since then, including one by "Titanic" director James Cameron. The company went before a judge on Monday to seek a salvage award for its past expeditions, and to inform the court of its plans. "Obviously we have an interest in going back to shipwreck for a number of reasons but we want to do it with the blessing of the court." Christopher Davino, "It's very early in our thinking regarding a strategy for future expeditions," he said, declining to discuss a future expedition before informing the judge. In court filings, the company has said it is making plans to return to the wreck site next year. U. S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith, a maritime jurist who considers the wreck an "international treasure," is presiding over the hearings. They are not only intended to determine a salvage award, but to establish legal guarantees that thousands of Titanic artifacts remain intact as a collection and forever accessible to the public.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28 2009 7:30PM VOLLEYBALL Dole Institute BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Team prepares for UMKC www.Doleinstitute.org 864-4900 On west campus next to the lied center The Kansas volleyball team will have a chance to defend its home court again after a loss against Missouri over the weekend. Kansas (11-9) will host University of Missouri-Kansas City (10-12), which is on a five-match winning streak, today. ROBERT J. DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas free parking Kansas is just 4-4 at home this season and will need to defend its home court better to make the post-season. Kansas is 27-1 overall against UMKC, and UMKC has not defeated Kansas since 1982. But UMKC is a very scrappy team and always has extra motivation to beat a larger conference team such as Kansas, senior middle blocker Brittany Williams said. "They are on a winning streak of E Follow Zach Getz at twitter.com/zgetz. five games, so hopefully we can stop that," Williams said. "Beating KU is always their number one priority. This is probably one of the games they always look forward to because they have a chance to beat Kansas." UMKC has been playing well and will want to knock off a team from a higher conference, coach Ray Bechard said. Sophomore outside hitter Allison Willson field spikes the ball against Missouri Saturday. Kansas lost the match 3-1. "UMKC is going to come in here thinking this is a huge match on their schedule," Bechard said. "We got to sense that it's just as important to us as it is to them." Kansas will have only one day of practice to prepare for UMKC with the game on Tuesday instead of the usual Wednesday. Senior defensive specialist Mellissa Grieb said she was glad Kansas was playing a non-conference team instead of waiting the entire week to play again. "It'll get us back out there, and we'll be able to work on a few things we didn't do well against Missouri," Grieb said. Even though UMKC doesn't play in a major conference, Kansas can't afford to overlook it, Grieb said. "No matter what conference you're in, if you are winning games, you're a good team," Grieb said.

"This year has to be the year," junior guard Sade Morris said. "This is the year that we have to prove to everybody and back up what we're saying." Kansas' biggest reason for optimism entering this season is Morris and McCray, a scoring duo Henrickson dubbed "Batman and Robin."

Oklahoma scored a touchdown five plays later. Added Ryan Murphy, sophomore cornerback: "Knowing that we were going to be up first on defense and we had a pretty good first half, it was kind of deflating to let them drive down the field." During Oklahoma's second drive of the game, Stuckey blitzed from the edge, smacked quarterback Landry Jones in the back and jarred the ball loose. Stuckey recovered the fumble at Oklahoma's 26-yard line. "We thought we had gotten settled down in the second half but we gave them a drive and made some silly penalties," Mangino said. "Not disciplined play by us." It was only one of a handful of missed plays — both offensively and defensively — that perhaps cost Kansas a chance at a victory. Turns out, though, it was a meaningless play because Wheeler was flagged for jumping off sides. "That's something you can control," Stuckey said. "That's something that tangible to your defense. Any time you're playing a great team like OU, you can't afford to make mistakes like that." Kansas' offense was plagued with similarly-themed problems. The pass was wobbly and slightly low yet a wide-open Briscoe managed to get his hands on the ball, juggling it in the air before it finally slipped out of his grasp. Instead of scoring what would have been a touchdown, the Jayhawks settled for Branstetter's field goal. "There were a lot of opportunities that we had out there that we let go, that we let slip out of our fingers." Stuckey said. In the final minutes before halftime, senior quarterback * Todd Reesing released a pass to junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe while being hit by an Oklahoma defender.

Gabbert suffered the sprain Oct. 8 and was wearing a walking cast Monday. On Saturday, he was helped off the field after being sacked in the third quarter of a 41-7 loss to Texas Pinkel says Gabbert could have returned to the game, but that it seemed like a good time to pull him. Missouri (4-3, 0-3 Big 12) will be without starting middle linebacker Luke Lambert for Saturday's game at Colorado (2-5, 1-2). Lambert separated his shoulder against Texas, and the Tigers were waiting for results of an MRI to determine if he'll need season-ending surgery.

Demps, second on the team with 457 yards rushing and five touchdowns this season, injured his neck during a tackle in Saturday's 29-19 win at Mississippi State. Demps ran five times for 13 yards against the Bulldogs. Meyer says Demps won't have any contact in practice for at least a couple of days.

Associated Press Big 12 North title up in the air MORNING BREW before the season began, a lot of jokes were told in which Bill Snider figured when his anger figured prominently in the punch-line. The only thing saving Iowa State from similar disrespect was the fact that, frankly, no one cared enough to bother. Now, however impossibly, Kansas State and Iowa State sit one and two, respectively, atop the Big 12 North standings. Even still, conventional wisdom dictates that this anomaly cannot and will not persist. Bill Snyder couldn't possibly resurrect Kansas State football again, this time in only one year. The Wildcats just aren't talented enough. Sure, they've improved. But the bubble will burst when they head to Norman this week And Iowa State is, well, Iowa State. Iowa State does not play for conference titles; the sun will rise in the morning; the sky is blue. All three trees seem BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com equally self-evident. So no, the Cyclones and the Wildcats will not figure prominently in the Big 12 North title hunt. It just can't happen. But if not them, then who? All possible, certainly if preseason predictions are taken to mean anything. After all, it was supposed to be the layhawks and Cornhuskers battling for dominance in the Big 12's lesser half. Maybe, if Blaine Gabbert performed superlatively and Missouri received a few breaks, the Tigers could sneak in a challenge. But we're well past the point of pretending that anything Missouri? Kansas? Nebraska? Even granting that, the beginning of the college football season seemed well in line with how things were supposed to go. Nebraska's offense looked good enough, and its defense appeared dominant. The inverse could have been said of Kansas, owners of an iffy defense and explosive offense. And it even looked as if Missouri might get that superlative play from Gabbert that would enable it to mount a challenge. said about college football in August has any relevance left Then conference play began, and things got weird. Kansas beat Iowa State, which beat Nebraska, which beat Missouri. Kansas State destroyed Texas A&M, which did the same to Texas Tech, which embarrassed Kansas State by 52 points. And so, using the transitive property of sports, we can clearly see that none of this makes any THE MORNING BREW sense. Which is precisely why Kansas State and Iowa State could, easily enough, remain on top of the Big 12 North. Not because either team is particularly good, but because none of their competitors are either. With this degree of parity, the old cliche about everyone being capable of beating everyone else actually rings true. And so the question shouldn't be "Why Kansas State and Iowa State?" but rather, "Why not?" Edited by Jonathan Hermes The establishment of an American Airlines direct flight from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Manhattan this August will be beneficial for Kansas State in recruiting, coach Bill Snyder said Monday. "In the past, it's been difficult to get youngsters in here without a great deal of travel time," Snyder said. "It's a major plus for us. Hope we hang onto it." There's nobody who's hidden," Snyder said. "There are really no secrets in regards to who's a viable, recruitable young individual." Snyder also said he had seen lots of changes in general recruiting since his return from retirement. The effect of the Internet and recruiting services started coming into play more. He said he received 300 messages on his BlackBerry every day about potential recruits. "Everybody is out there. It also allows coaches to view a player's highlight tape at their own leisure instead of having to wait a couple of weeks for the tape to be delivered. "Schools have made the offers of thousands of scholarships to these young guys at very,very early ages before they've even gotten to their senior or junior years of high school," Snyder said. Snyder said he thought that at least half of the colleges in the nation were probably approaching their 25-scholarship limit for next year's recruiting class, a change from the past. The Wildcats are also close to filling their recruiting class. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach said in Monday's weekly Big 12 teleconference that he hasn't decided who will start at quarterback; junior Steven Sheffield, junior Taylor Potts or freshman Seth Doege. "I've never been in that Tech coach undecided on quarterback after loss position in my life," Snyder said. It will be a game-time decision based off what each player does in practice this week. Sheffield has thrown for 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions and hasn't lost a game he has played. He was sidelined with a foot injury in Texas Tech's 52-30 loss to Texas A&M Saturday, but may be ready to return All three quarterbacks have seen playing time in the last two weeks. Potts has thrown more than 400 yards three times this season and has also tossed 15 touchdowns, but was yanked from Saturday's loss after tossing two key interceptions. "No More Potts." chants rained down on the field. for the Red Raiders' game against Kansas. "I ignore that," Leach said. "I'm going to play whoever I think is the best guy. I guess that's free speech." Leach put in Doege, who was steady in finishing out the loss. He is likely the long shot to see the field, but Leach has already shown his willingness to stir things up if he finds that necessary. — Clark Goble WOMEN'S GOLF Jayhawks competing in South Carolina this week East Tennessee is in the lead after the first two rounds with a total of 583 strokes.

His best score in his career here at Kansas was a 67, so when he shot a 64 in the second round Monday, even he said it was a surprise. That he did. Barbee chalked up six birdies and an eagle in the second round alone, earning an eight place tie individually. Barbee is sitting at five under par and just three strokes off of the first place lead. "I struggled in the morning a little, but came out strong in the afternoon." Barbee said. His score of 64 is tied for the third lowest score since Kansas began competing in Big 12 golf.

Oklahoma's quarterback Sam Bradford will have shoulder surgery Wednesday to repair the damage to his throwing shoulder that has been inflicted this season. This injury has ended Bradford's career at Oklahoma and has possibly lowered his draft stock, despite news from the New York Times that he may still be in the top ten. Bradford had the opportunity to enter the NFL Draft after last season, in which he enticed NFL scouts with his arm and football intelligence. However, maybe because of hurt feelings after losing the National Championship game to Florida, Bradford decided to return to his Sooner family and try for a National Championship ring. The sports world is now wondering if this could have been avoided, and yes it could have It was admirable to see a player give up however much money would have been thrown at him by the NFL. But, in hindsight, it was not the most intelligent decision. Not only did Bradford miss out on money that could have been made this year, but he has also put his throwing shoulder through two similar injuries and a surgery that requires a four-to-six-month recovery time. That means Bradford's shoulder will just barely be healed in time for the April draft workouts. But how can anyone expect a newly-rehabbed shoulder to perform at the level it used to be at so soon? Bradford will have potentially gone from a top five draft pick to a middle-of-the-round pick up Now future NFL hopefuls will be even more skeptical about risking another year outside of the NFL. This season two quarterbacks opted to return to the college spotlight, Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow, and both have suffered serious injuries. Tebow has been able to recover from his frightening concussion earlier this season and is still in the hunt for the Heisman Trophy. Bradford hasn't been so lucky. This issue has been around in college basketball for years now too. Kansas State would have loved to have Michael Beasley for four years, but that would have involved many more negatives for Beasley's personal career than positives. Kansas fans couldn't have been happier to learn that Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich were coming back for this 2009-2010 season. Although college football and basketball are two different animals, athletes could have the same thoughts. And what goes through the minds of these athletes is bound to change after what has happened this year in college football.

"A lot of students don't get the calcium they should daily," said Jessica Neuhedel, Overland Park junior and active member of Healthy Options for Movement. Exercise; Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating, the student group that sponsored the event. H. O.M.E.B.A.S.E. came to the recreation center armed with 200 free samples of regular and soy milk, information packets, two Polaroid cameras and several stick-on mustaches. Although only a handful of students opted for the photo, several stopped by the information table and even more grabbed a carton of milk on their way out of the gym. "We wanted to make it fun," Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition for the Wellness Resource Center, said. "I think we all have a child in us, and it's fun to let the students wear the mustache." Froelich said he drank about a gallon of 1 percent milk a week, mostly with his favorite cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats. He said he wasn't worried about whether he got enough calcium. "I think a gallon a week does the trick," he said. Chapman said. But a gallon a week falls desperately short of the quart-a-day recommendation for young adults, If current consumption rates continue, half of all Americans older than 50 will be at risk for complications from osteoporosis and low bone mass, according to a 2007 study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. According to a 2009 study by the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, only about 53 percent of young men and 21 percent of women ages 19 to 30 consume the recommended amount of calcium.

Traffic has been so heavy at the seasonal flu shot clinics this month at Watkins Memorial Health Center that supplies ran out Tuesday and the remaining clinic was canceled. The University has administered nearly 700 doses of seasonal flu vaccine this fall, up from 368 doses in 2008. The University also announced Tuesday that they have scaled back five planned H1N1 clinics to just one, with only 500 available doses being for the Nov. 6 clinic. Mai Hester, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said that before the University announced that vaccines had run out, the office had received feedback from students who said they wanted to get both the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 vaccination. "A lot of people have come in and want to get the seasonal flu shot," Hester said. "We're putting the message out there that getting both is the best way to protect yourself this season." Jimmy Wernel, Overland Park junior, got his seasonal flu shot early on Tuesday. He said it would be good to get both shots because he is going to shadow in a hospital, but he was concerned about the H1N1 vaccine supply available.

Stone, a violinist with the Cypress String Quartet, will perform at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Lied Center. The performance will be a unique one for the group, which is playing in more than 90 venues this year. The quartet will perform an original piece commissioned by the Lied Center and the Library of Congress for only the second time. The group will perform "Lento Assai," a project financed in part t by the Lied Center. The work is a product of the quartet's annual "call and response" series.

Follow Daniel Johnson at twitter.com/danielzjohnson Stone said "Lento Assai", the final product of this collaboration, invoked deep and passionate feelings. This year, the group employed New York City composer Kevin Puts to write a piece in response to Mendelssohn's first string quartet and Beethoven's last string quartet.

He said he hoped bringing them to the Lied Center would allow students and the community to hear a set of music they might never hear otherwise. He also said it was a good introduction for students feeling timid about an evening of chamber music. Stone said the Lied Center's effect on music reached far beyond West Campus. He said the "Come out for the first half and see what you think." Van Leer said. "And then if you like what you hear, stay for the whole thing." "It's organizations like the Lied Center that are responsible for a lot of the most important new art that comes out of America." Stone said. "We are delighted to come perform there." Andrew Linn, St. Louis senior and music major, said he planned to attend tonight's performance. "I've heard good things about them," Linn said. "I think it will be time well spent." Although it is mixed within a busy touring schedule, tonight's performance will recognize the commissioning of pieces such as "Lento Assai" was responsible for the development and innovation of American music.

The group is made up of two violinists, a violist and cellist. Four of the group's pieces are included on Chamber Music America's list of "101 Great American Ensemble Works." Edited by Tim Burgess FLU (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Lisa Horn, spokeswoman for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said seasonal flu vaccinations have gone from 3,206 total doses last season, from September to December, to 1,806 doses already this season. She said the department started seasonal flu vaccinations earlier to get those out of the way — something the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended — before they started H1N1 vaccines. The department has been out of seasonal flu vaccines since the second week of October. Joseph Hinckley, Salt Lake City law student, said it was the first year he was getting a seasonal flu shot, and he's getting both. "Maybe it's because this year everyone is being more cautious," Hinckley said. "And that's why I did it, because I have a kid and don't want him to get sick." Horn said there was a possibility both shots would be combined into one vaccine next year. "That would be nice." Horn said. "It would make things a lot easier for people." SEASONAL FLU Effects on the body: Symptoms for seasonal flu include fever, headache, fatigue, dry cough, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, body aches and chills. Resistance level: Anyone can get the seasonal flu, but there is more focus directed toward older people and children getting vaccinated because of flu-related complications. H1N1 Effects on the body: Symptoms for H1N1 are the same as seasonal flu but with more reports of gastrointestinal illness. The severity of symptoms varies with both kinds of flu from person to person, Lisa Horn of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Center said. "I wouldn't say it's necessarily worse from person to person," Horn said on H1N1's severity. Resistance level: No children and few adults under the age of 60 have antibodies for H1N1, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One-third of adults over 60 have antibodies for H1N1 because they have had previous exposure to an H1N1 virus. Source: CDC and Lisa Horn, spokeswoman for Lawrence-Douglas County Health Center Jamie Rosenberg, St. Louis freshman, said getting a seasonal flu shot was something she did yearly. "In college, you're with a lot of students who get sick, and I don't have time to get sick," Rosenberg said.

John Sales, Fayetteville, N.C., senior, and Kyle McRae, lola sophomore, pose for a Polaroid portrait in front of a 'Got Milk?' poster. H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. set up a table at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and offered free milk in an effort to encourage students to drink more milk and learn about the importance of calcium. MILK (CONTINUED FROM 1A) were a critical time for making bones stronger. Daily said she relied on yogurt and cheese as sources for calcium while on campus. Liz Daily, Overland Park freshman, said she drank a glass of 2 percent milk every Sunday, when she went home for dinner. "Through the mid-to-late 20s, young adults have the ability to strengthen their skeletons, but when they reach their thirties and beyond, they begin losing bone mass," she said. "This is an irreversible process that is part of aging." "At home, I used to drink milk every night, but I never do here," she said. "I just don't think about it." Though whole and 2 percent milks and full-fat cheeses contain calcium, Chapman said, they also contain saturated fat, which clogs arteries. "It's important to consume low-fat dairy products," she said. "They give you all the nutrients, calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin and protein you need without the fat." Brooke Williams, Overland Park freshman, said she had soy milk every morning with a bowl of Cocoa Puffs. "Soy milk always been the healthiest option," she said. "And it's what I grew up drinking." Williams said she drank about a glass of milk a day, still short of the recommended amount for her age. Tiffany Nguyen, Garden City freshman, said she tried to take vitamins and remember to drink milk, but wasn't always successful. Nguyen, like Froelich, stopped by the table for her own "Got Milk?" photo. "I'll probably give it to my mom so no one can see it," she said.

Both stories appeared in the pages of Britain's tabloid press. Neither is true. The two incidents were fake showbiz news tips phoned into newspapers by the makers of the new documentary "Starsuckers," to see whether they would be used without fact-checking. The fact that they were forms part of the movie's argument that the culture of celebrity has Red Lyon Tavern 爱 A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence 944 Massachusetts 832-8228 undermined journalistic standards and warped society's values. "I didn't realize quite how much of our news is public relations, or lies, or on the basis of criminal acts," said the film's 33-year-old director, Chris Atkins. "Starsuckers," which premieres Wednesday at the London Film Festival, takes aim at Britain's fiercely competitive tabloid press, but its real target is much broader. Atkins believes that society's obsession with fame — gaining it and being near it — has distorted everything from the way news is reported to our children's aspirations. The film opens with the statement that "everybody is naturally and powerfully attracted to fame," and tries to show how big companies in entertainment, media and PR use that desire to create a world full of insatiable consumers.

DIVERSITY Handicap (in)accessibility Winter months raise concerns The Oread Inn has added a new piece to Lawrence's skyline, but it may be an even bigger piece than was originally thought. With the brand-new hotel already 33 feet higher than was planned, builders should continue with caution because of the hotel's proximity to campus and a historic district. Although we've had a few dips back into sunny weather, winter is coming. Everyone should use more caution when the paths on campus turn icy, but they are especially dangerous for handicapped students. The various modes of transportation employed by these students (traditional wheelchairs, motorized wheelchairs, canes and seeing-eye dogs) require a little more consideration when calculating maneuverability. As winter approaches every year, I inevitably hear conversations among some of these students about the difficulties of getting up Mount Oread in particular. Many of these students prefer to take the bus; most students prefer to take the bus when it's below freezing. But often, this just Some of the ramps going up Mount Oread are very narrow and curvy and only allow for one small wheel chair. During the sunny months, that amount of zoom is completely adequate, as long as the other students make room. But when snow and ice are factored in, they can become much more difficult to navigate. But the campus exterior isn't the only place that needs upgrading. A few semesters ago I took a class in Smith Hall. We had to swap classrooms with another class on the main floor because there was no handicap access to the bottom floor of the building. Mount Oread does have several stretches of wide, sloping concrete, but they don't extend all the way up. Money should be invested in widening the small side ramps as a safety precaution for the colder months ahead. I went back a few days ago The University has already had its fair share of critics on investing money to expand an already wonderful recreation center or on using funds to add tree cover for our sports teams to practice behind. I'm not going to say those ventures aren't worthwhile projects, because I believe that improving the University's extracurricular offerings enriches the college experience overall. to confirm and wandered around to every unlocked door I could find. There was no elevator, and the only access to outside was a set of narrow concrete stairs rather than any kind of ramp. Many of the buildings on campus were built a long time ago, but the University has had plenty of time to upgrade. But the basics, such as access to all classrooms and unimpeded paths to class, should be taken care of first. And for a portion of the student body, those basics aren't being taken care of.

JOHNSON 27 (Lavry Johnson disses coach Todd Haky) MARIAM SAIFAN DIVERSITY Fear of'the others' still exists There's no such thing as minorities," my friend's roommate norities," my friend's roommate eloquently once said. "If there used to be such a thing, there's not anymore." She had chosen to proudly voice her views in the company of, in my opinion, minorities. We all laughed the comment off as naivety and a lack of experience. Despite our African-American president and our country's progress regarding same-sex marriage, there is still ignorance and denial of our treatment toward "the other." I often find myself coming back to that story because of what it illustrates and says about our society. The line, "I don't discriminate because I have a gay or a black friend," has become, "There's no such thing as prejudice in our country anymore because we have a black president and allow same sex marriage." Just to clarify something, having a friend who is homosexual or African-American does not mean you don't hold or exhibit racist or prejudice characteristics and views. The same holds true for our country. NOT SO ANGELIC ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON Let's face it. As humans we have had an unfortunate tendency of being oblivious to the most obvious social distinctions. Historically those distinctions, created by us, have led to some of the most horrendous injustices. The Civil wasn't that long ago (150 years), neither was the Holocaust or the gruesome beating and murder of Matthew Shepard. More recently, Louisiana justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell has forced himself into the national spotlight by refusing to marry an interracial couple. "I'm not a racist," Bardwell said in an Associated Press article. "I just don't believe in mixing the races that way. I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else. There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage. I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it." On the USA Today Web site where the story was posted, comments on the story ranged from cries for immediate suspension or resignation to support of Bardwell claiming he's just saying "what most people believe." Regardless of whether you're a blissfully naive "minorities don't exist" type of person or you know that they do but still fear and refuse to accept "the other," I'm going to state a harsh truth for you: Minorities do exist and at some point in your life you are going to have to interact with those you either fear or disagree with. Minority groups, cultures, relationships and beliefs should be celebrated and acknowledged, not oppressed. Our country has been growing increasingly diverse ever since it was founded. The effects and possibilities of minority influences are limitless, as long as we allow them to be. McNaughton is a Topeka senior in journalism and English. Labels often cause unnecessary harm This is my gay/black/ Muslim/have-what- you friend." How often have you heard someone introduce you or another person in that way, or have you said it yourself? Have you ever thought, "Why did they introduce him or her that way? Why is them being gay/black/Muslim/what-have-you necessary for an introduction?" Here's the plain and simple answer: It doesn't and it shouldn't be. We all know what labels are, and we use them every day to describe ourselves and everything around us. But there is a time and place for using them, and introducing people to each other is definitely not the time for personal labels. It's likely you don't know all of one person's beliefs or ideas about other races, classes or sexual orientations, and it's very possible to offend one or both people by introducing them based on a socialized category. I've found this to be of particular concern when it comes to my friends and them introducing me to others. More often than not, I've learned that the first thing people know about me is my sexual orientation, but not because I told them. Yes, I am out and proud about it, but my sexual orientation is my own, and it is my choice to reveal that to people. More people than I am aware of probably know my sexual orientation because of this column, but that's because I choose to be out in my column. My choice. My voice. Why does it matter that someone else describes me to their friends as a lesbian? Why does it matter that someone I don't know tells me, "Oh! You're his lesbian friend?" It's still a matter of coming into and social propriety. Just because it's becoming more okay to be LGBT in our society doesn't mean everyone wants to know QUEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN about it. I understand that it shouldn't matter what other people think, but it does, especially in the work place where sexual orientation is not protected under federal law. I could get fired from many places in Kansas for being out, so it does matter what someone thinks. When we introduce someone with a label we identify them with certain characteristics we have learned through society, and sometimes, this has a negative response. People judge through labels, and on plenty of occasions, I've found myself judged before a person gets to know me because an ignorant friend told someone I was gay. Although that person was once friendly to me, they reject me from then on. So next time you're introducing someone, think before you speak. You'll save yourself a foot-in-the-mouth and a hurt friend. What should matter to all of us is respecting a person's private life. My sexual orientation is my private life. I do not believe the first thing a person I've never met before needs to know is who I sleep with. It's an invasion of privacy for both of us. I don't introduce my friends as "this is my white/black, heterosexual/homosexual, fraternity/sorority friend," because those are details a new acquaintance can find out about them if they get to talking.

One of the tenets the media is failing to address involves the Hatch Amendment, an amendment which would have serious repercussions for the health education of the American youth. Voted into the Senate Finance Committee's version of health care reform with a vote of 12 to 11, the Hatch Amendment lays out a $50 million funding plan to get abstinence-only education into our classrooms. Abstinence-only education assumes we all have the same We need to speak up. For the past eight years, federal funding for abstinence-only has failed to equip students with the information we need. A 2008 Centers for Disease Control study found that one in four women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States are infected with an STI, a staggering amount. experience with sex and sexuality and broadcasts misinformation about contraception, abortion. STIs and pregnancy. We need to make sure these issues are correctly taught to those who are most at risk of being affected by them. President Barack Obama's budget eliminated all abstinence-only funding, and in June Congress allowed Title V money, which funded the abstinence-only programs, to expire. Democrats in the House of Representatives and Senate have held firm on keeping it out of health care reform, but we desperately need to make sure the 12 senators who voted in favor of the Hatch Amendment don't succeed in returning misinformed, obsolete sex education back into our classrooms. The American youth deserve the non-sugarcoated truth in our classrooms. Be a part of the fight. — Jessica Harmon is a sophomore from Topeka.

Her mom, Annette, made the appointments for Wright, Roeland Park sophomore, and her sister to be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted disease Human Papillomavirus. GETTING THE GO AHEAD That was in 2006, just after the Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil for use in women ages 9 to 26 to protect against HPV. Merck & Co., Inc., the manufacturer of Gardasil, has issued approximately 25 million dosages of the vaccine in the United States since 2006. Though the vaccine uses the same chemical formula for both men and women, it had only been approved for use in females. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the genital HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease. About 20 million Americans have HPV, and another 6.2 million will become infected this year. While men can't be tested for HPV, they are still affected by the virus through genital warts and can be transmitters of the infection. "The FDA wanted more expansive clinical trials," Kresge said. "They wanted to make sure that the data was comprehensive and strong." To protect men against the virus, the FDA approved Gardasil earlier this month for use in men. Now Annette Wright has the choice to get her 16-year-old son, Brandon, immunized as well. Ali Kresge, global communications representative at Merck, said the company held trials for both sexes from the beginning but couldn't receive approval at the same time. Lorrie McNeill, an FDA Follow Beth Beavers at twitter.com/bethbeavers. tt representative, said the multistep process for a drug to receive FDA approval started early in its development. Once the manufacturer can prove the drug works, it must submit a Biologic License Application to the FDA. If the application is for a drug that is intended to prevent a serious disease, it is marked "priority" and the FDA is required to review it within six months. All other drugs have a 10-month review period. McNeill said because Gardasil was intended to prevent cervical cancer, the original application and the supplemental application for use in men were marked "priority." Advisory Committee re com men d e d Gardasil's approval for use in men. In September, the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products "Our decisions are based on science and data," McNeill said. "If a drug is proven safe and effective, we'll approve it." Mai Hester, marketing coordinator at Watkins Health Center, said they planned to order additional dosages to accommodate males who wanted to be vaccinated. THE VACCINE Dr. Carolyn Johnson from Watkins Memorial Health Center said there were more than 40 types of HPV, but the vaccine only protected against the four most common types, which caused genital warts and vulva, vaginal and cervical cancers. She said the types that caused genital warts made up about 90 percent of the cases. @KANSAN.COM Visit Kansan.com for more statistics on HPV and a breakdown of vaccine cost. Kresge said the vaccine for both women and men was given in three dosages. The first one is given on a date chosen by the patient. Two months later the second dose is given. The final dose is given six months after the original date. Hester said for uninsured students, each shot costs $148.50 plus a $12.50 injection fee at Watkins. For the entire vaccine, the cost is around $483. Hester said insurance coverage varied based on the individual. "If the drug is proven safe and effective, we'll approve it." overall safety of the vaccine were the same regardless of gender. She said the most common side effect was soreness at the injection site. Headaches were also common among some "We are seeing more and more that insurances are covering it," Hester said. Kresge said the side effects and LORRIE MCNEILL FDA Representative Kaylyn said she did not notice any side effects when she received the vaccine and her family's insurance covered the entire cost of the vaccine. She said if it hadn't, she probably would not have gotten the vaccine because of the high cost. The FDA had reports of fainting related to Gardasil injections, which is common with any vaccine given to adolescents. patients. Fever, nausea, and dizziness can also occur. Annette said Brandon would receive the vaccine if his doctors recommended it. Edited by Betsy Cutcliff Better yet, why don't you get a Responsibilibuddy? Designated driver does not mean least drunk.

Most likely you've never seen his face or heard his name, and he's fine with that. But here sits the man who spends more time working and crafting players than any other member of Kansas' staff,including coach Mark Mangino. Meet Chris Dawson, the strength and conditioning coach. "He's done more for that program than anybody but Mangino himself," former running back Jon Cornish said. --- A visitor sits in Dawson's office one day, picking his brain about the different schedules and responsibilities that fall under the umbrella of Kansas' strength and conditioning coach. In the middle of conversation, though, the visitor asks a question that catches Dawson's attention. Is the grind of the job difficult? Is the grind of the job difficult? A sly smirk creeps across Dawson's face, a hint that maybe he knows something the visitor doesn't. Then, quickly, Dawson responds in a way that tells everything about him as an individual and a professional. "You ask the question like that's a negative," Dawson said. "I don't know that it's ever not a grind. But I think some people gravitate toward the grind. I like the structure, the discipline, the schedule. I like the grind. I won't make any bones about it." After all, the grind is the meat and potatoes of any strength and conditioning. Dawson's job is to push players through the grind, allowing them to continue developing and improving.

And then he's off, chasing the mass of runners as he cuts across the course to catch them as they go by again. "The beginning of the race is just beautiful," Broholm said. "It's something that fans of other sports probably wouldn't appreciate, but that's OK." Broholm got into cross country when he was in high school. After realizing his potential for other sports such as baseball was waning, Broholm took up cross country as a sophomore and track as a junior. Broholm found camaraderie with his teammates as they snuck onto golf courses and and other dog walkers but one runner always impressed him. It turned out that this runner was Julia Saul, the only female All-American cross country runner in KU history. Watching her run weaved through neighborhoods to run for practice.

Senior Danielle McCray averaged nearly 30 points and eight rebounds per game in the Jayhawks' surprising WNIT run. They lost a heartbreaker to South Florida in the championship game, but the sentiment from all the players after the loss was the same. Senior LaChelda Jacobs said it the most succinctly. "We definitely won't be here next year. We'll definitely be in the tournament." When Jacobs uses the word "tournament", it's clear she're referring to the Big Dance. Making the WNIT was nice and all, but it's not like Dancing. Unless Lady Luck throws a few injuries into the mix, the lajhwakes will make the tournament And I think they'll win the Big 12 Championship too. It's not ludicrous. The coaches tabbed Kansas to finish tied for second in the preseason poll. They received three first-place votes. Baylor, No. 1 in the poll, has otherworldly freshman center Brittney Griner and poses the biggest challenge. In her senior year of high school, Griner put up numbers that would make LeBron James blush: 33 points, 15.5 rebounds, 11.7 blocks (!), 3.4 steals and 3.1 assists per game. But maybe the most jaw-dropping stat? Griener's 1.6 dunks per game. Griner can throw down and throw down hard. There won't be too many defenses in the Big 12 that can contain a 6-foot-8 center who can dunk. Check that — there won't be any. I'll channel my inner Kenny Mayne to describe Griner: "You can't stop her. You can only hope to contain her." Senior Sade Morris is a willing sidekick who quietly puts up 20 points a night. Junior Nicollete Smith provides an outside look, and junior Krysten Boogaard and sophomore Aishah Sutherland can convert the bucket. So it won't be easy. But all the pieces are there. McCray is an extremely talented scorer who will put the team on her back in the closing moments of a game. But the key for this year's team is the development of the point guard position. Ivana Catic was steady last year but not threatening. She graduated and two players are competing for the spot: freshman Angel Goodrich and junior college transfer Rhea Codio. Whether one wins the job or they split time is irrelevant because they are both playmakers. As they mature in the position, this team will only get better. With a Big 12 North-heavy schedule, the Jayhawks will be right there with Baylor. The Bears and Jayhawks face off Feb. 28 in Waco, Texas on ESPN2. It's early, but the lajawhays will win that one and take home their first conference championship in women's basketball since 1997.

The successful investigation got the golden toothed wide-out thinking about more than the next victim on his cornerback checklist or another inventive touchdown dance. Now the loudest mouth in football is finally putting his loquacious lifestyle to use off the field. The OCNN, the Ochocinco News Network, will run on Twitter with technology provided by his partnership with Motorola. In an effort to cut out the middle man, as Ochocinco says, the network will be a news leak for all 32 teams in the NFL. "If I break it, you might as well believe it," boasted the gaudy receiver. While the network is a raw project and only at its blueprint stage, the core idea of a player providing news to the fans is groundbreaking. Most athletes want nothing to do with the media, perpetually relaying systematic responses to a question, whether hard-hitting or easygoing. "We've just got to go out there and give a 100 percent effort." BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com "We really brought our A-game out there." Blah, blah, blah. You've heard it before. But the ever appealing Ochocinco could serve as the catalyst to a new wave of athletes. These athletes won't be media friendly. They would be the media. In fact, loads of players, not just from the NFL but from sports far and wide have already hopped on the Twitter bandwagon. If Ochoicoinca starts a new trend of athlete-journalist hybrids, sports fans will be able to feast on a buffet of distorted news. Proper grammar, diction and on the job attire are things of the past. I can see it now ... "This is number 85 coming at you from the Bengals' breakfast table ... Who dey? Chris Henry is feasting on some Fruity Pebbles and Cleveland Brown corners backs" NBATIPOFF Makes you hungry for more. The NBAs regular season tipped off last night, catapulting a hefty bundle of stories into the crisp air of fresh beginnings. Here are some of the biggest questions around the league, heading into the 2009-10 season. — Will Ron Artist be the defensive wizard that Los Angeles desperately needs or will he disrupt the fluidity that zen master Phil Jackson had established? — Can Shaq's arrival bring a title to Cleveland and keep Lebron from dashing away once he hits free agency in 2010? — Does Rasheed Wallace have enough in the tank to get an 18th championship for the Celtics if — Do Vince Carter's knees still work? If so, is he the offensive answer in Orlando? — Can 21-year-old Kevin Durant win the MVP and squeak the young but talented OKC Thunder into the playoffs? Kevin Garnett goes down again? - How will the long-awaited free agent class of 2010 featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh affect this season? PRETTY LOOKING PREDICTIONS Rookie of the Year: Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings Sixth Man of the Year: Rasheed Wallace, Boston Celtics Coach of the Year: Gregg Ponovich. San Antonio Spurs MVP: LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals: Boston Celtics over Los Angeles Lakers in seven games MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS Hipsters here and there have overplayed Animal Collective's albums "Strawberry Jam" and "Merriweather Post Pavilion" into a mushy, stew-like substance. I can't even think about the Brooklyn-based soundgasm without haunting images of $v$-necks and Converses flashing through my mind. So to all you Ginsberg impostors, please pause "My Girls" (it's the fifth time you've heard at it this party) and give 2004's "Sung Tongs" a try. "Leaf House" commences with a vibration that sounds as if you are falling from the sky. Seconds later you find your landing spot, a mysterious oasis of repetition THE MORNING BREW and melody. The song is beautifully weaved with harmonic vocal progressions, tightly knit bongos and measured guitar. On goes the drama with "Who Could Win A Rabbit", easily mistakable for a "Pet Sounds" gem. The song starts with pounding guitar strums, leading the ear into an alley of lush strings and rapid chanting of an endlessly ranging latitude. "Winters Love" is a gorgeous landscape of rich melodies and eloquent storytelling. "Kids on Holiday" is a drenched, slow-strumming epic that would fit justly on the "White Album." "Sung Tongs" range of noises gently hums through the air, inviting only the most curious and open of listeners. But if your ear can handle the depth of sonic experimentation that the Animal Collective has to offer, the investment always pays off. To all the faux-beatniks: lose those argyle sweaters and tight jeans and bathe in the colorful waterfall of "Sung Tongs."

Marshall said he was looking for opportunities in TV to introduce fans to a different side of him. The Denver Broncos Pro Bowl wide receiver will fill in on "Sports Soup" on Versus next Tuesday night. The show compiles funny and eye-popping clips from around the sports world. "I think it's always fun to be able to joke about something that you do," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday. Marshall even plans to poke fun at the training camp tantrum that drew him a nine-day suspension. He's done some sports broadcasting in the past but said that probably won't prepare him for his hosting gig, which Marshall will shoot next Tuesday morning. on a winning track. Associated Press Chiefs' LJ issues apology for slur She was second on the team in assists and steals and third in rebounds and blocks last season for the Sooners. The issue became moot when the team elected not to cut him and until he began tweeting on Sunday night, the often-volatile Johnson had been on good behavior. Associated Press As Johnson was releasing his apology, a national gay rights advocacy organization called on the league and the team to take disciplinary action against the two-time Pro Bowler. Johnson's agent said all his client could do now was wait. Last spring, an arbitrator ruled that the Chiefs could release the running back and not owe him $3.5 million in guaranteed money because he had violated contract conditions by pleading guilty to disturbing the peace in another incident. BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson issued his second apology in 12 months Tuesday and was told to stay away from the team while the NFL and the Chiefs complete their investigation into his use of a gay slur. He used the slur during an exchange with one of his Twitter followers. A day later, he used it again as he brushed off reporters and told them he would not comment, according to the Kansas City Star, which recorded the comment. NFL Haley refused to address the BIG 12 BASKETBALL Sooners player keeps team on winning track The latest chapter in Johnson's stormy career began Sunday night when he questioned coach Todd Haley's football credentials on his Twitter account. Johnson, who turns 30 next month, signed a five-year contract extension in 2007 that included $19 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $45 million. The team could be checking to see whether Johnson violated contract provisions that would allow the Chiefs to cut him with reduced financial obligation.

In the third and final round on Tuesday morning, Kansas made use of its 18 remaining holes by making up 15 strokes and advanced to second place. "I was very happy with the team's effort today," coach Erin O'Neil said. "We played some really steady golf. Nobody got ahead of themselves, and it selves and it really paid off." Meghan Gockel, Dallas senior, led the comeback for the Jayhawks this time by coming up with a final-round score of 72. Gockel "Meghan had a great round today," O'Neil said. "She really got it going for us and it helped out." Three players shot a 74 to help the jahayhaws clinch the second place t Follow Andrew Wituzysnki at twitter.com/ amw311. finish: Meghna Bal, New Delhi, India, junior; Grace Thiry, Victoria, Australia junior and Jennifer Clark, Kansas City, Kan., junior all shot 74 to help the Jawahars clinch the second place finish. "Everyone played their own game out there today and we didn't worry about who was ahead of us or behind us," O'Neil said. Powers The top finisher for the Jayhawks was Emily Powers, Quincy, Ill., senior, who finished in the top ten for the third time this season. This is out of only five tournaments. Her sixth place finish was secured by her final round of 77 on Tuesday. When the final standings were posted the team was not expecting a second place outcome. "We were surprised with the finish." Powers said. "But we had seen the course three times and were comfortable with it, which was helpful." Emily Powers shared the same sentiment. "We did pretty well for the fall season, and if we all play like we did today, we should accomplish our goal of making it to regionals." Powers said. For the Kansas women, the spring season will pick up right where it left off. The Jayhawks return to Kiawah Island for the Kiawah Island Classic in February to perhaps pick up the first place trophy that they were so close to earning on Tuesday. This was the final tournament for the Jayhawks for the fall season. Kansas placed in the top five twice and in the top ten in all five tournaments. "I'm very pleased with the fall season," O'Neil said. "And it really helps to finish on such a high note." "We are all striving to actually win one of these tournaments," Powers said.

Fellow Big 12 rivals Kansas State and Nebraska also competed in the tournament with Kansas State coming in third place and Nebraska finishing in seventh place. MEN'S GOLF Jayhawks end season on low note in New Mexico Kansas totaled 858 strokes for the tournament. All of the teams were competitive and within just a few strokes of one another. In the last event of the season and for the first time this fall, the Jayhawks failed to finish the top ten at a tournament. At the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M., Kansas finished in 11th place out of 17 teams on Tuesday afternoon. The Jayhawks dropped from ninth to 11th place during the final round. A bright note for the Jayhawks was Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, who fired a second straight round under par with a score of 69. Barbee finished in fourth place individually with a total of 206 strokes. The second place finisher shot just one stroke better with a 205 total and there was a tie for first place at 204 strokes. Barbee was just two strokes away from his For the fall season, Barbee collected four top five finishes including a win at the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence. second victory in the first half of the season. 19 As for Kansas as a whole, the Jayhawks have been on the decline in the last two tournaments. Starting off strong with two second place finishes and a third, the Jayhawks concluded the season on a low note with a seventh place finish last week at the Bill Ross Intercollegiate and now an 11th place finish to wrap up the season. Cincinnati quarterback Zach Colaros is tackled by Louisville defender Johnny Patrick during the first half Saturday in Cincinnati. The team let Collaros run offence while Tony Pike recovered from sunrise on his non-throwing arm. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Andrew Wituszynski Collaros ready for Syracuse UNLV won the tournament Quarterback runs offense while Pike recovers ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Fifth-ranked Cincinnati let quarterback Zach Colaros run the offense in practice Tuesday, getting him ready to start, at Syracuse while Tony Pike recovers from surgery on his non-throwing arm. Pike's arm got better as the season went along, and he led the Bearcats to their first Big East title and Orange Bowl appearance. The arm was fine until Oct. 15, when a helmet hit bent the plate and forced him from the game. Collaros ran for a pair of touchdowns as Cincinnati Pike had the cast on his left arm shortened so he could do more on the field this week, but only participated in the early part of practice. Coach Brian Kelly said he's getting his sophomore backup ready to play Saturday at Syracuse (3-4). "Certainly I think your team is settled in a lot more," Kelly said. "Our guys — it's not an issue for them who the quarterback is this week. I don't think it changes the way we go about the business. It's business as usual." Collaro is expected to make his second straight start for the Bearcats (7-0), who are adept at winning while switching quarterbacks. In his first collegiate start last Saturday, Collaros threw three touchdowns and only two incompletions in a 41-10 victory against Louisville. Pike broke his left forearm and dislocated the wrist last season, had a plate and six screws inserted, and returned after missing two games. The injury gave him problems during his first few games back, causing numbness and pain in the left hand. pulled away to a 34-17 victory. Kelly said on Tuesday that Pike had a 12-inch incision — much longer than the last one year — so doctors could replace the plate. He had to wear a bulky cast last week, preventing him from playing. He didn't even suit up for the Louisville game. The cast was modified on Monday, and Pike expects to see what he can do in practices this week. Kelly hasn't ruled him out against Syracuse, but him manageable with a cast. It took three weeks last year. We're heading into the second week. We're closer. I think we're pretty much going to take this right up to game time." "Our guys — it's not an issue for them who the quarterback is this week... It's business as usual." the Bearcats are preparing to go with Collaros. After Pike returned last season, he played the last eight It's more likely that Pike could be ready for a home game against Connecticut on Nov. 7. "It's pretty clear what it is right now," Kelly said. "We've got to get BRIAN KELLY Cincinnati coach games with a removable cast on the forearm. The goal is to get him ready to play that way again. "He's got to be the guy who ultimately signs off on this," Kelly said. "He's got to feel confident in his ability to go there and do what he needs to do. "Last week, basically we ran everything we ran with Tony," Collaros said. "I am preparing like I'm the (starter), so I'll be ready."

"That really makes you look at it and say, 'OK, he's old, say, 'OK, he's old, playing no "If I wanted to get on the field when I played football in college, I had to live in the weight room." more. We should be able to do this if we're still playing." Therein lies an underlying theme for Dawson. He wants his workouts to be challenging and difficult, but he doesn't want them to be impossible. Still, don't be mistaken: Dawson's job is to topple previously thought limits and replace them with an even higher, more demanding standard. CHRIS DAWSON Strength coach Cornish, a lightly recruited running back from Canada, is a prime example. Weston White/KANSAN Cornish originally arrived at Kansas with an already conceptualized idea of what it would take to become a successful player in the ultra-competitive Big 12. Then he met Dawson, who tossed that idea aside. Cornish rushed for 1,457 yards his senior season. It still is the highest single-season total in the history of Kansas football. "I didn't have a choice," Dawson said. "If I wanted to get on the field when I played football in college, I had to live in the weight room." strength and conditioning coach started in the weight room — where else? As a player at Oklahoma in the early '90s, Dawson quickly noticed the subtle writing on the wall. If he wanted to play at Oklahoma — if he wanted to be able to compete against top-level athletes — the weight room had to develop into a second home. "Some people don't have the drive," Cornish said. "What I think Dawson does is give players the drive. I think a lot of other teams in the Big 12 have strength coaches like him. But at the same time I think he's one of the reasons why the program is where it is now." Chris Dawson, Kansas football strength and conditioning coach, adjusts a player's workout for the 6:45 a.m. session late last week. "Your strength coach has to be a guy that has great enthusiasm" coach Mark Mannins said. --wasn't talented enough to do otherwise." JAYDEN HERBERT Chris Dawson, Kansas football strength and conditioning coach, watches as a player works out. Many former players regard Dawson as one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the country. Dawson's path to becoming a After graduating, Dawson decided to join then-Oklahoma strength and conditioning coach Joe Jurasek's staff as a graduate assistant TOUCHING THE HARD WORK "initially when I went into it I didn't think I'd stay in it," Dawson said. "but I really enjoyed it. I decided about after six months that this is exactly what I want to do" Dawson, who Mangino said impressed him while at Oklahoma, arrived at Kansas before the season in 2003. And immediately he was faced with an uphill climb. The layhawks didn't been to a bowl game since 1995. They won just two games, including zero in the Big 12, in 2002. Mangino, entering only his second season, was attempting to disband a nagging losing mentality. "When coach Dawson first came in, he literally made sure that everyone was doing everything all the time," Rivera said. "He was a discipline freak, running people all the time and all that kind of stuff. Now he's into developing players." The general division made in the college football world is simple. There is a season and then there is an offseason. For Dawson, there is no such distinction. - but it highlights an interesting part of the job. Dawson spends roughly 352 days of the year with players — "That's not exact," he said, noting mandatory days off and voluntary workouts "He's done more for that program than anybody but Mangino himself." "Chris is important to the program because Chris does about 80 or 90 percent of his work when I'm not around and the assistant coaches aren't around," Mangino said. "Your strength coach has to be a guy that has great enthusiasm. He's a self-starter and he takes a great JON CORNISH Former running back deal of pride in the performance of the players" willing to talk. "I don't know that I've ever referred to it as a job other than sitting here with you because that's certainly not how a view it," Dawson said. "The grind, the work — it doesn't change." Near the end of the conversation, the visitor sitting in Dawson's office gets his attention once more. This time Dawson is talking about Kansas' turnaround, specifically the higher-caliber of athletes and the recently built facilities. Plus, Dawson has little influence in direct game day decisions, allowing for a more open relationship. Sharp, Kansas' running back, said Dawson's office door is usually open and the coach is always "I don't have a depth chart on my board. I don't get to decide who is on the field. That takes a lot of stress or pressure off the relationship as So the visitor decides to tack on one more question: Does the job well" Dawson said. "You really get to see the kids grow and mature." He wouldn't want it any other way. Edited by Tim Burgess RUNNING (CONTINUED FROM 1B) every day reminded Broholm "what a gas" cross country was. "When it looks like they're not doing much but a lot is coming out, you know they're really good," Broholm said. Broholm started travelling to meets and soon found that same sense of camaraderie he had back in high school when he ran cross country. The parents and supporters that he saw at each meet all seemed to know each other; they would cheer for each other's kids and other school's teams because they realized how hard each athlete was working. Broholm remembers spending entire meets with random families just talking about cross country and watching the runners go by. This season Broholm has only made it out to two meets but plans to head for Columbia, Mo., this weekend to watch Kansas compete in the Big 12 Championship. During the years, Broholm has watched runners and learned who they are and he can tell when someone is having a big race. Broholm has followed senior runner Lauren Bonds her whole career at Kansas. She won the Bob Timmons Classic last year, one of the meets hosted by Kansas. Broholm also has his eye on sophomore runner Donny Wasinger, who made his debut at Kansas last year, leading the team in four races. "Everybody always thinks that this could be their year but it all comes down to the end of the season." Broholm said. With only three meets left this season, including this Saturday's, Broholm will have a few more chances to travel and watch Kansas compete. . "Just having people out there cheering for you really makes a difference," Broholm said. He intends to be there yelling and running alongside for seasons to come.

Tate recorded 39 sets and 13 dives in the 3-0 victory at Horelli Family Athletic Center. BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Jerry Wang/KANSAN KANSAS 13 The Kansas volleyball team recorded its seventh sweep of the year as the Jayhawks defeated UMKC 3-0 Tuesday night. Playing a nonconference opponent in the middle of Big 12 play helped Kansas try out a new line-up and could help Kansas get over its recent loss to Missouri, coach Ray Bechard said. "It gave us a chance to run a completely different lineup in game three, and get some other people involved," Bechard said. "I thought after the disappointment of Saturday this match came at a really good time. Kansas looked better in nearly every aspect of the game. Kansas out-dug UMKC 58 to 47 and out-killed 48 to 35. Senior Melissa Grieb led Kansas with 18 digs while filling in at libero for injured junior Melissa Manda, who did not play because of a tight back. The 18 digs were a season best for Grieb, and just three shy of her career record. Grieb said she enjoyed filling in for Manda. "A lot of long rallies, a little worn out, but it was a good experience," Grieb said. Sophomore setter Nicole Tate recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 39 assists and 13 digs and sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield led Kansas with 12 kills.

The victory gave Kansas some of its momentum back and helped get over the disappointing loss to Missouri, Mayfield said. "I think it's good for our team to get some momentum and to get this win under our belt," Mayfield said. A good scouting report and good rhythm helped propel Kansas over UMKC. Mayfield said. "We had a couple of instances where we got caught," Mayfield said. "But I think we did a pretty good job of working it out. Just overall the game went pretty smoothy." After starting off the first set even, Kansas scored nine out of 10 points to take a 13-6 lead early. Kansas dominated the rest of the set and used a .405 hitting percentage to win the set 25-14. While UMKC battled early on in the set, Kansas scored seven in a row to take a 14-6 lead. Kansas had only one error and hit. 484 on its way to defeat UMKC 25-16. UMKC came out playing well and had a 10-7 lead early in set three, but then Kansas went on a 4-0 run to take the lead. Kansas and UMKC went back and forth, but UMKC was able to get a 18-15 lead over Kansas. The Jayhawks then went on to score the next seven points and put UMKC away late 25-21.

OSU plans to appeal the decision to the NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, but athletic department spokesman Kevin Klintwort declined further comment. The university announced on release that Bryant's penalty actually constituted "relief" from even more severe penalties for breaking the agency's rules for ethical conduct and preferential treatment. Bryant could have been forced to miss anywhere from half a season to being rendered permanently ineligible. Oct. 7 Bryant was declared ineligible for lying to the NCAA about his relationship with former NFL star Deion Sanders. He has sat out the last four games for the No. 13 Cowboys (6-1, 3-0 Big 12), who host No. 3 Texas on Saturday night in a game that will likely determine which team plays for the Big 12 championship. "There's a little relief," said Jones, who has thrown for 1,363 yards and 13 touchdowns while replacing Bradford. The NCAA said in a news Bradford's announcement that he'll have season-ending surgery and enter the NFL draft clears the way for backup Landry Jones to take ownership of the team for the rest of this year, and perhaps beyond. Associated Press The initial prognosis suggested that Bradford could return as early as two weeks after he sprained a joint in his right shoulder in Oklahoma's season opener against BYU. Instead, it ended up being five weeks — with three solid weeks of questions about "I don't think Sam, by any means, has held us back from just all the talk." BIG 12 FOOTBALL BIG 12 FOOTBALL OK State wide receiver suspended for season Landry Jones takes over as Oklahoma QB The junior will not be eligible to play until September 2010, OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma State All-American wide receiver Dez Bryant will remain suspended for the remainder of the football season, the NCAA ruled Tuesday.

KANSAS 4 BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com Senior guard Sherron Collins responds to questions from the media Oct.15. The smiles were everywhere. Sported as wide as Wilt's wingspan, grins gave way to exposed teeth as the men's basketball team collectively assembled for the first time in front of the working press Oct.15. In between posing for portraits you'll soon see a lot of — Cole and Sherron looking down at the camera, the Morris twins side by side in what looks like a hardwood family photograph — the players crowded around newly printed media guides, joking about one another's pictures and biographies as if it were high school yearbook day all over again. There was a lot to smile about that day and the following night at Late Night in the Phog. Few sporting publications with credence have this team pegged anywhere but No. 1 this preseason. And why not crown them the best-looking team at this point of year? Sherron Collins returns for a final campaign, two seasons removed from assisting on "The Shot" and one year after establishing himself as an undisputed leader. Cole Aldrich postponed NBA riches for a year to seek a championship banner that he'll have a bigger part in earning. And the elusive — and at times, indecise — Henry brothers highlight a promising, athletic freshman class. Yes, there was plenty to smile about — for the first time in a while. Common sense and civility were sorely ignored by several football and basketball players when, in September, a 48-hour period of trivial brawling dealt a blow to the Athletics Department's reputation. Soon after, junior guard Brady Morningstar was arrested for driving under the influence — he would later be suspended for the fall semester. We may never fully know what sparked the fights. But perhaps the sole remaining question is whether a similar incident will happen again and even that question grows fainter by the day. This is attributable to the swift response taken by Athletics Department leadership. It is a product of the honest, direct approach coach Follow Stephen Montemayor at twitter.com/smontemayor. Bill Self has taken in addressing the problem and his insistence on placing every player in front of the media without impositions as to what can and cannot be asked. Most of all, time and tradition heal most wounds. When I asked ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale whether he thought the incident would have a negative effect on Kansas recruiting, his response was a resounding "no way." The school's tradition and history are just too much for these incidents to erase all that has been achieved at the birthplace of basketball, he said. Former Jayhawk and 10-year NBA veteran Scott Pollard areed "Coach Self's job is to get these players back in the right frame of mind," Pollard said. "These athletes represent one of the greatest institutions in America. It was a lapse in judgment, a forgetting who they are." Well, it appears as if it didn't take long to remember. Late Night is always something to behold, but still, there are more ghosts in Allen Fieldhouse than on the SyFy channel. Thousands of fans still erupted at repeated viewings of Mario's miracle shot at Late Night. The chills are inescapable. "It was crazy," freshman forward Thomas Robinson said after Late Night. "It makes you want to be a part of that. Next year I want to come back and look at a banner with my team's name on it." The 6-foot-9,230-pound Robinson and freshman guard Xavier Henry (6-foot-6, 220 pounds) are two of five incoming freshmen. Self says Robinson and Henry are the most physically gifted players he's brought to Lawrence. They are part of the reason why Collins won't have to put as many games solely on his shoulders. Why the fates of games won't hinge on record-breaking, shot-blocking performances by Aldrich alone. On paper this team appears as deep as they come. On paper it appears that this team has fielded a bench capable of helping any number of other teams to a deep postseason run. "I think it is a motivator," Aldrich said. "I think it's pretty cool but at the same time it's still preseason and until that last team is still standing on the court in Indianapolis that will show who the best team in college basketball is." On the court, we'll see. the team's younger troops will be focused and driven by a pair that could go down as one of the greatest duos to play in the Phog, a pair focused on leading a team toward a common goal. But let's not kid ourselves. No matter how deep this team is, it will be Sharon's and Cole's team. Any delusions of grandeur from Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor received the most publicity during the September inter-sport altercations. After all, he made news by dislocating a finger throwing a punch in one of the early fights and essentially broke the news on his Facebook, using unfortunate and ill-educated language. Cleared to practice and play on the eve of Late Night and appearing alongside a suspended-but contrite Morningstar, Taylor bubbled with the same enthusiasm shown by the thousands of fans at the 25th annual gala. "It's been so long since we've been in here," Taylor said. "Just coming in here and seeing these lights and the arena, it feels great. Man, I love this place. I'm so excited for the season."

TEXAS TECH Texas Tech is the only team in the Big 12 to have a winning record in the past five meetings with Kansas.

This marks another statement game for the Jayhawks, who will look to make a big-time splash with a victory over the Sooners in Norman. FEB. 28 AT BAYLOR The Bears are coming off of a successful 2009 campaign, during which they won the Phillip's 66 Big 12 Championship, and lasted until the regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.

Jayhawks are No. 1 in the team rankings and the team faces high expectations for the season. Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Junior center Cole Aldrich slams down a dunk to re-energize the Jayhawks last season. Aldrich and senior guard Sherron Collins were named the Big 12 Preseason Co-Players of the Year. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO 1. Can the Jayhawks mature past offseason fiascos? Too much negativity has surrounded the team of late. It will take some time to get the infamous brawl, Brady Morningstar's suspension and Markieff Morris' joy ride out of our minds, but it can easily be done. It is bad enough that now Tyshawn Taylor has to recover from an injury following his splendid summer overseas. But the basketball season is here and now is the time to act professionally and earn redemption. The main focus will be on the team's performance, so if Kansas can get off to a fast start and win early, people may say, "What fight?" 2. Can the team keep the target of No. 1 on its back? The Jayhawks are preseason ranked No. 1. They have the top two players in the country. All of their regular season games are on national television. Their top nine scorers from a year ago are returning and the team has top notch recruits. There is a lot riding on the team this year and players and coaches said that's where they would like to be. The pressure they face is pressure they earned. Fourteen games (including exhibitions) are against teams that made the NCAA tournament a year ago. Two of their bouts are against UCLA and Memphis, teams Kansas has recently had memorable games against. And that's just the beginning of the team's daunting schedule. The Jayhawks will be tested, but if they lose the bull's-eye on their back at any point, then the team will not have done its job. t Follow Corey Thibodeaux at twitter.com/ c_thibodeaux. 3. Will Xavier Henry prove to be NBA quality? The most recent offseason drama has masked the summer antics of the Henry brothers. Put all the commitment questions to rest; they are here and they are enjoying their time. The question is whether what their father said is true and Xavier has the talent to be a top NBA pick. In a team dedicated to selflessness and already with the top two players in the country in Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich, it will be interesting to see whether a newcomer can get in on some of the limelight. 4. Will freshmen give hope for the future? The 2009-10 freshman class is made up of outstanding, highly touted individuals who have the potential to make an immediate impact. Elijah Johnson, C.J and Xavier Henry, Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey have the talent to make it less unsettling for fans when Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich leave for the NBA. Kansas' perimeter shooting was its biggest alliment last year. Someone needs to step up and contribute big time in that area. 5. How will talent level affect minutes, egos and chemistry? Kansas is stacked top to bottom. Players such as Tyrel Reed, Mario Little, Brady Morningstar, Travis Releford and the freshmen can make up a solid starting college roster themselves. But with such a complete roster, some players who saw big minutes last year will see their roles decline. Returning players such as Marcus Morris had great seasons and may see more playing time. If all goes well, Collins and Aldrich won't have to shoulder a massive load and have every victory hinge on themselves. Coach Bill Self is as good as any coach at getting players to be selflessness and instilling a championship mentality in them. If this team is anything like the 2008 national championship team, then the sky is the limit. —Edited by Samantha Foster WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Full speed ahead: A preseason primer on this year's team Senior guard Sade Morris takes the ball to the basket in a game last season. Though sometimes overshadowed by senior Danielle McCray, Morris, last season's second leading scorer, could prove invaluable to her team. "She just has to turn the corner and believe she is an elite player in this league," coach Bonnie Henrickson said of Morris. KANSAS 20 Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com Late Night has come and gone. With the Nov. 1 season opener approaching, here are the five things you need to know about the 2009-2010 Kansas Jayhawks. 1. The team is ready for the big dance Losing in the WNIT Championship game at home ended a magical run for Kansas last season, and the returning players want to rekindle that magic. Nearly every player has spoken about the motivation the team's postseason run has provided. And returning star players, highly touted recruits and the growing loyal fan base has the Jayhawks thinking big. "We have positioned ourselves, with player development, with fans and with recruiting, to do very well" coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "The bar is set much higher." 2. Senior Danielle McCray is definitely hype-worthy The list is growing. t Follow Christian Lucero at twitter.com/loose30. An All-Big 12 performer last season, she led the team with averages of 21.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. She was selected for the WNIT All-Tournament Team for her role in leading the hawkeys during the postseason, and she won a gold medal for Team USA at the World University Games in Serbia this summer. Now she's been listed as preseason 2nd Team All American, and preseason Big 12 Player of the Year heading into her senior campaign. There's no reason to think that list won't get longer. McCray has blossomed into one of the best players in the Big 12. Now a co-captain, McCray's play will be the deciding factor in whether the Jayhawks are able to build on their success from a year ago. 3. Don't sleep on Sade Morris Because she shares the backcourt with McCray, Morris often gets overlooked. It's a mistake the Jayhawks hope opposing teams make all season. Morris, a senior guard from Norman, Okla., has improved her numbers each season since arriving in Lawrence. After notching a respectable average of 6.4 points per game her freshman season, Morris boosted that number to 9.8 her sophomore year. Last season, not only was she the team's second leading scorer at 12.7 points per contest, but she tallied season averages of 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Morris was also instrumental in Kansas' postseason run. During the five games the Jayhawks played in the WNIT, she averaged 17.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists, earning her a spot on the All-Tournament Team. And her effect on the team isn't just about her numbers. Morris has consistently shown her knack on the defensive end during her career and was named the teams best defender at the conclusion of last season. Henrickson also noticed Morris's play stood out during the team's WNIT campaign. "Danielle and Sade are buying into playing Batman and Robin, being a dynamic duo," Henrickson said. "She just has to turn the corner and believe she is an elite player in this league." 4. Changing of the (point) guard The Jayhawks lost a staple in their lineup at point guard in Ivana Catic but now have what Henrickson regards as a good problem to have: a choice between Rhea Codio and Angel Goodrich to replace her. "These are two playmakers who both handle the ball well," Henrickson said. "It will come down to who makes good decisions with the basketball." Goodrich, a highly touted recruit out of Tahlequah, Okla., is coming off a medical redshirt year. She suffered a torn ACL and was forced to sit out her first year. Codio is a proven collegiate player who has the leadership and experience Goodrich lacks. Saves who? Henrickson compared Goodrich to Sherron Collins in terms of playmaking and scoring abilities and gave similar praise for Codio. Get your posters and prints framed today! "The Border War" by Mike Savage FRAMEWOODS GALLERY 819 Massachusetts • 785.842.4900 KU "She passes real well but can creating scoring opportunities for herself," Henrickson said of Codio. DUNN BROS PROUDLY SUPPORTS KANSAS BASKETBALL Good luck this season! DUNN BROS COFFEE. 1618 W. 23rd St. • 785-865-4211 Henrickson also noted the situation as day to day and didn't rule out a possible platoon between Goodrich and Codio. Expect to see Henrickson give both of them equal time early in the season. 5. Both coaches, players determined on defense Henrickson said both players and coaches had been focusing on defensive drills in hopes of becoming a better defensive team. The Jayhawks' defense is anchored by a strong perimeter presence of Morris and McCray, and the roster is dotted with talented defenders, including Nicollette Smith and LaChelda Jacobs. An increased defensive drive from down low in Krysten Boogaard and Aishah Sutherland would help the Jayhawks separate from other defenses in the Big 12. Last year, Kansas allowed 60.5 points per game and held opponents to a .378 field-goal percentage, statistics that sit comfortably among the middle of the pack in conference. - Edited by Abbey Strusz THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2009 BASKETBALL PREVIEW 5C What do you think?

BASKETBALL PREVIEW THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 20, 2009 BIG 12 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2009 Breaking down the challengers for conference crown COLORADO (9-22.1-15) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 3, 7 p.m. Boulder, Colo.; Feb. 20, 2 p.m. Lawrence Key Losses: None Key newcomers: Freshman C Shane Harris-Tunks, Junior F Marcus Relphorde and Freshman G Shannon Sharpe add athleticism and depth to the perimeter Breakdown: Colorado has finished at the bottom of the Big 12 for three consecutive seasons, including a 1-15 debacle last year. It has lost 29 consecutive conference road games, and 12 straight overall. For Coach Jeff Bzdelik, that's the bad news. The good news, of course, is that there's plenty of room for improvement. And the Buffaloes do look likely to do that, returning four players who played more than 30 minutes a game last year, including third-team All-Big 12 selection Cory Higgins. Despite its awful record, Colorado was somewhat competitive in conference last season, losing eight games by single digits. With a returning Higgins anchoring a deep, experienced and athletic perimeter combined PRAJITRA VADHAR Your destination for affordable eyeware 1,000s of frames Complete pair of glasses starting at $59 Your Eyeglasses For Less 785.856.8877 9th & Iowa - Alex Beecher Key Losses: G Josh Carter, F/C Chinemelu Elomu Vs. Kansas: Feb. 15, 8 p.m. College Station, Texas with Australian big man Shane Harris-Tunks, Colorado looks likely to win more of those close games and improve on its one-win mark. Still, even with the expected improvement, Colorado isn't likely to move up substantially in the Big 12 pecking order, or compete for a postseason berth. TEXAS A&M (24-10.9-7) Key newcomers: Freshman F Khris Middleton, Freshman F Ray Turner Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor takes the ball to the basket in last year's victory over Colorado. Orange went 1-15 in Big 12 play but the Buffaloes should win more games this season after returning four players who played more than 30 games a game last season. Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Breakdown: Coach Mark Turgeon has led Texas A&M to each of the last four NCAA tournaments. This season presents a particular challenge, however, because the Aggies lost two big pieces from last season's squad. The loss of offensive cornerstone Josh Carter was expected, and with backcourt depth, was adequately accounted for. Chinemelu Elonu's declaration for the NBA draft was more surprising, and thrusted added responsibility on senior forward Bryan Davis. Not surprisingly then, the strength of the Aggies looks to be at the guard position. Behind Donald Sloan and B.J. Holmes and without many big men, Texas A&M will likely be a more uptempo team than what it has been in the past. The newlook Aggies still project as a solid middle of the pack Big 12 team, with reasonable expectations to make the tournament for a fifth consecutive season. KANSAS 15 COLORADO 11 Key Losses: G Bryan Petersen Alex Beecher IOWA STATE (15-17, 4-12) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 23, 1 p.m., Ames, iowa; Feb. 13, 7 p.m., Lawrence Key Newcomers: Freshman G Chris Colvin, Senior F Marquis Gilstrap Iowa State received the best news it could have hoped for when forward Craig Brackins announced he would return for his junior year despite being projected as a first-round NBA draft pick. Jayhawk fans might remember Brackins, the top returning scorer in the Big 12 this year and an Honorable Mention All-American last year, as the player who lift up Kansas for 42 points last January. Along with Brackins, the Cyclones return four out of five starters from last year on a team coach Greg McDermott said could be the best he'd had. Those returning starters include juniors Diante Garrett, who ranked third in assists in the Big 12 last year, and Lucca Staiger, who will provide the majority of the team's 3-point shooting. Junior college transfer Marquis Gilstrap, ranked 29 in the Class of 2009 by ESPN.com and freshman Chris Colvin, the 77th-ranked recruit in the nation according to ESPNU could also boost the Cyclones. Gilstrap was voted the Big 12's Newcomer of the Year in the coaches' preseason poll. If Iowa State's returning starters stay healthy, the team could be a huge improvement upon last year. Joel Petterson OKLAHOMA STATE (23-12,9-7) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 27, 3 p.m., Stillwater, Okla. Key losses: G Byron Eaton, G Terrel Harris Key newcomers: Freshman C Jarred Shaw, Freshman G Ray Penn, Freshman C Torin Walker, Freshman F Roger Franklin Breakdown: Preseason All-Big 12 junior guard James Anderson is the third-leading returning scorer in the Big 12 behind Kansas' Sherron Collins and Iowa State's Craig Brackins. Coach Travis Ford will look to Anderson to carry the scoring load for his young Cowboys team in 2009-2010. Senior guard Obi Muonelo is Oklahoma State's leading returning rebounder despite being only 6-foot-5. Sophomore guard Keiton Page was a huge surprise last season and started the last 12 games. He is very willing to launch three-pointers but refuses to go inside. He averaged just one rebound per game last season. The Cowboys' season will likely hinge on the newcomers' ability to adjust to the college game. With Muonelo as the only senior, there will probably be some bumps in the road. However, according to ESPN.com, Ford was able to bring in the 10th-rated recruiting class.

Included Kansas.** E9C Penn has NBA-range on his jump shot already, and Ford will let him have his fair share of three-point attempts. This team is a bit of an enigma, capable of challenging the powerhouses in the Big 12 and struggling against the lesser squads. TEXAS (23-12.9-7) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 8, 8 p.m., Austin, Texas Key losses: G AJ Abrams. Key newcomers: Freshman G Avery Bradley, Freshman G J'Coven Brown, Junior G Jai Lucas Breakdown: Texas features seven incoming players on its 16-man squad, which is one of the largest groups of newcomers that coach Rick Barnes has ever had. With young talent like Bradley, named Preseason All-Big 12 Freshman of the Year and winner of the high school national championship in his senior year, Texas fans can expect some new stars on the court. Lucas, who will be eligible from his transfer from Florida in December, may fill former Longhorn Abrams' spot at point guard. Returning from last season are seniors Damion James and Dexter Pittman. James led the Longhorns and was fourth in the Big 12 in rebounding last season (9.2 rpg). Though Texas will host Kansas in conference play, The Longhorns face some tough non-conference opponents this semester. Texas will play defending champions North Carolina in Arlington, Texas Dec. 19, and Michigan State at home Dec. 22. Hallie Mann TEXASTECH (14-19,3-13) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 16, 1:30 p.m., Lawrence Key Losses: G Alan Voskuil Key Losses: G Alan Voskul Key Newcomers: Freshman G Mike Davis, Freshman F Jaye Crocket, Junior F Brad Reese Breakdown: Pat Knight's first full year at Texas Tech's coach hasn't exactly made everyone forget about daddy. The Red Raiders finished 14-19, their worst record since 2000-01. It was good enough to finish 11th in the Big 12. Texas Tech got off to a hot start last year going 10-4, but it finished the season losing 15 out of the last 19 games. However, the Red Raiders do have some positives looking toward 2009-10. The nucleus of the team is made of mostly young players. Out of the five seniors last year, guard Alan Voskui appears to be the only player sorely missed. Junior guard John Roberson looks to improve his successful campaign last year, where he averaged 13.9 points per game and led the Big 12 in assists. Junior forward Mike Singletary scored 43 points in a game last year, 23 of them in a row, so they have a pure scorer. Sophomore center Robert Lewandowski showed his value quickly last year, averaging 6.6 points per game and 3.7 rebounds while leading the team in blocked shots. Texas Tech needs to improve its defense (79 points per game allowed last season) and its turnovers (15 per game). If those can get fixed, look for this team to drastically climb the Big 12 ranks in 2009-10. Corey Thibodeaux NEBRASKA (18-13. 8-8) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 13, 8 p.m., Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6, 5 p.m., Lawrence Key Newcomers: Freshman F Brandon Ubel, Freshman G Ray Gallegos, Sophomore C Christopher Niemann, Freshman C Brian Diaz Key Losses: G Ade Dagunduro, G Steve Harley, G Paul Velerand Being the smallest team in Division I. basketball, Nebraska knew they had add size to its roster. Its tallest player last year was 6-foot-8 forward Chris Balham, but head coach Doc Sadler brought in three players: Brandon Ubel, 6-10; Christopher Niemann, 6-11; and Brian Diaz. 6-11. However, Niemann tore his ACL in August, the second time on the same knee. He was to be the Huskers' starting big man to deal with the size of the Big 12, but now that is Diaz's role to fill. They did, however, lose their top scorer in Ade Dagunduro as well as Paul Vander. Aside from guards Sek Henry and Ryan Anderson, no one on this year's roster logged more than 500 minutes of playing time last year. — Corey Thibodeaux BAYLOR (24-15, 5-11) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 20, 8 p.m., Lawrence Key losses: G Curtis Jerrells, G Henry Dugat, F Kevin Rogers Key additions: Freshman G Nolan Dennis, Freshman F Cory Jefferson, Freshman C Dragan Sekelia, Junior F Ekpe Udoh Breakdown: In 2002, Baylor basketball was far from being synonymous with success. From the tragic murder of player Patrick Dennehy to the various NCAA violations by former coach Dave Bliss, the program had seemingly plunged to depths it would not soon recover from. Junior center Cole Aldrich dunks the ball during the Kansas-Oklahoma game last season. The Sooners have to find someone else to guard Aldrich after Blake Griffin left early for the NBA. But since the hiring of Scott Drew in 2003, there has been quite a turnaround in Waco. After winning 21 games and making the NCAA Tournament in 2008, Baylor built on the successful season with a 24 victories last year - The first back-to-back 20-win seasons in school history. The Bears parlayed that success into a post-season run, finishing as the runners up in both the Big 12 Tournament and NIT Championship games. Ben Ward With a talented roster in place and the guidance of coach Drew, look for the Bears to be a formidable presence in the Big 12 this season. Though the team lost a great deal of its offense with the graduation of Jerrrells, Dugat, and Rogers, the Bears look to the experience of returning starters LaceDarius Dunn and Tweety Carter to lead the way in 2009-2010. Additionally, Baylor welcomes six freshman and two transfer students in what Rivals.com ranks as the No. 17 recruiting class in the nation. KANSAS STATE (22-12.9-7) Vs. Kansas: March 3, 7 p.m. Lawrence Roundout out the frontcourt is All Big 12 honorable mention Jacob Pullen. The junior guard (13.9 ppg) was just behind leading scorer Clemente (15 ppg) last season and serves as a sturdy second helping to the diminutive Puerto Rican. The two scorers form what might be the most underrated frontcourt in the Big 12. Speedster Denis Clemente headlines the royal purple's attack with wall-to-wall energy and a dangerous jump shot. Expect the All Big 12 point guard to maintain his "now you see me, now you don't" style and lead the Wildcats from invisibility to demanded detection. Key Newcomers: Freshman F Wally Judge, Freshman G Rodney McGruder Breakdown: Despite 22 victories and a surprising fourth place finish in the Big 12 last year, the Kansas State Wildcats still cannot get that putrid taste out of their mouths. Not only were the Wildcats robbed of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, but they also fell in a crushing defeat to San Diego State in the NIT. However, looking at this year's squad, coach Frank Martin shouldn't have a hard time shedding the demons of the past. In just his third year in Manhattan, Martin has already established once-laughable K-State as a year-to-year contender. Martin also gets to show off a talented recruiting class featuring four-star guard Rodney McGruder and McDonald's All American forward Wally Judge. Can you guess the last McDonald's All American to don the royal purple? Michael Beasley. You can bet that Manhattan is chomping at the bit to see what Judge can do on the court. The Jacksonville, Fla., prospect is a 6-foot-9 ogre that possesses premier athleticism. His game is still undoubtedly raw, but his sky high slams will have Bramlage Coliseum rocking. Key Loss: F Darren Kent Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO - Max Rothman OKLAHOMA (30-6,13-3) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 22, 8 p.m., Lawrence Key Losses: F Blake Griffin, F Taylor Griffin, G Austin Johnson KANSAS 45 Key Newcomers: Freshman F/C Tiny Gallon, Freshman G Tommy Mason-Griffin Breakdown: Blake Griffin, last year's Naismith Award winner for national player of the year, was also the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft. So that means that he's gone and never coming back. In steps the man they can Tiny. That's right, all 6-foot-9 300 pounds of Keith "Tiny" Gallon fills big enough shoes on his own. Replacing Griffin should be second nature. Quite possibly the best name in the Big 12 (no love for Cookie Miller after last year's skirmish and his fleeing to Miami of Ohio). Tiny can demolish opponents and completely dominate the paint. Hailing from superstar manufacturer Oak Hill Academy, Tiny is a powerful rebounder and an impressive passer for a forward of his size. In steps the man they call Tiny But we wouldn't even be talking about Oklahoma as a Big 12 force without Willie Warren. Last year's Big 12 freshman of the year, Warren has a knack for scoring in bunches. He can emulate Dwyane Wade in his Marquette days when charging to the hoop or mirror Steph Curry of Davidson and step back and hit a deep three. If the Sooners show only a minimal drop off from last year's 30-victory season, Warren's assortment of skills and leadership may be enough sniff at Big 12 player of the year. Coach Jeff Capel will have to properly deploy his role players to make up for the departures of Blake and his brother Taylor Griffin, as well as point guard Austin Johnson and forward Juan Pattillo. Senior guard Tony Crocker will function as a floor general and hassle ball handlers with his defensive wizardry and long sleeved under armour. Junior guard Cade Davis can string a group of three points together in a flash. Other than Tiny, a cream-of-the-crop recruiting class featuring McDonald's All-American point guard Tommy Mason-Griffin, shooting guard Steven Pledger and power forward Andrew Fitzgerald will provide the Sooners with a fresh influx of talent and energy. With several tough non-conference road matchups (VCU, Utah and Gonzaga) and key player departures, don't expect to see the Sooners win 30 games or return to the NCAA Tournament as a 2 seed. But the crimson and cream are still a lethal Big 12 power. Max Rothman MISSOURI (31-7. 12-4) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 25, 8 p.m. Lawrence; March 6, 1 p.m. Columbia, Mo. Key Losses: F DeMarce Carroll, F Leo Lyons, G Matt Lawrence Key Returners: Senior G J.T. Tiller, Senior G Zaire Taylor, Sophomore G Kim English heads in advancing to the Elite Eight in March before falling to Connecticut, 82-75. Kansas may have won its fifth- straight Big 12 regular season title, but Missouri took home the postseason conference tournament crown and even turned a few A wealth of experience will be missing from coach Mike Anderson's team as its top three scors graduated. Perhaps the most glaring loss is that of Carroll, whose leadership played a large role in Missouri's postseason surprises. Averaging 16.6 points per game, Carroll scored 22 points against Kansas during a Feb. 9 Missouri victory. English will be looked at to lead the team as junior. The 6-foot-6 guard poured in 30 points off the bench in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Stephen Montemayor Edited by Tim Burgess Are you Ready for "The Shot"? Let Us Help!

Kansas; Feb. 21, 5 p.m., Lubbock, Texas Key Losses: F Dominic Seals, G Maria Moore Junior guard LaChelda Jacobs shuffles with a Colorado quard on defense Feb. 4. Jacobs had one steal and five assists in the Jayhawks' 65-54 victory. Key newcomers: G Chynna Brown, G Monique Smalls, G Marv Bokencamp Despite an inauspicious seventh place finish in the Big 12 last season and a team team with eleven underclassmen, seven of whom are new to the program, head coach Kristy Curry has reason to expect improvement in Lubbock. That's because despite the relative youth of the squad, the players aren't lacking in experience. In fact, five letter winners return from last season. Senior guard Jordan Murphree will anchor the Lady Raiders' backcourt, returning as last year's second leading scorer and leader in steals. The frontcourt is less experienced and led by two sophomores: Jordon Barncastle and Kierra Mallard. Barncastle played in all 31 games last season and notched two double-doubles. Mallard led the Lady Raiders in rebounds last season and all Big 12 freshmen in both rebounding and scoring. Predictably, she was named to the conference's all-freshman team. Mallard and Barncastle's combined production should ease the loss of Dominic Seals. The Lady Raiders look to reclaim their comfortable slot among the best of the Big 12 this season and return to the NCAA tournament. Alex Beecher OKLAHOMA STATE (17-16,4-12) Key Losses: F Shaunte' Smith, G Taylor Hardeman Vs. Kansas: January 12, 11 a.m., Lawrence Key Newcomers: C Lindsey Keller, Gell Toni Young Last year, senior Andrea Riley didn't just lead the Cowgirls — she was the Cowgirls. The 5-foot-5 guard led the Big 12 and ranked fifth in the nation in scoring and was an Honorable Mention All-American. She led the team in points, assists, three-pointers and steals. This year, the story shouldn't be any different. Not surprisingly, Riley was named to the All-Pre-season Big 12 team. Riley's supporting cast will include senior center Megan Byford and senior forward Tegan Cunningham, who will provide the inside presence to replace last year's team rebound leader, Shaunte' Smith. Incoming freshman Toni Young could also provide an immediate boost to the team. Young, a 6-foot-2 forward, was the No.93 recruit in the nation according to ESPN's HoopsGurlz. Two years ago, Oklahoma State made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, but last year it lost in the second round of the WNIT. This year the team's prospects come down to whether or not the Cowgirls can provide enough support for Riley. Joel Petterson OKLAHOMA (32-5,15-1) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 23, 2 p.m. Norman, Okla. Key losses: C Courtney Paris, F Ashley Paris Chance Dibben/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Key newcomers: F Lyndsey Cloman, J Ioanna McFarland Replacing Courtney and Ashley Paris is no easy task for head coach Sherri Coale, but Oklahoma returns so much talent that they shouldn't fall too much. Junior guard Danielle Robinson won the gold medal with USA Basketball at the World University Games this summer and is one of the scrappiest defenders in college basketball. She was named Preseason All-Big 12. Senior Abi Olayuwon, daughter of former Houston Rockets All-Star Hakeem Olajuwon, will fill the hole left by the Paris twins in the paint. 2008-2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year Whitney Hand started last season on fire from behind the three-point arc but cooled off in Big 12 play and the postseason after breaking her finger. The problem the Sooners face is finding a go-to scorer. Seniors Nysiah Stevenson and Amanda Thompson seem the most capable of coming up in the clutch because their experience in big-game situations. While Oklahoma might look a bit different without the Paris twins roaming the floor, Coale expects to win and win often. Don't bet against the Sooners making a deep run in the postseason. Clark Goble TEXAS (21-12,8-8) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 13, 1 p.m. Lawrence Key losses: G Carla Cortijo, F Ashlev Lindsev Key newcomers: C Cokie Reed, G Lauren Flores Connecticut as part of the ESPNU Road to the Championship Nov. 17 in San Antonio. The nonconference schedule also includes games against Mississippi State, USC and Rutgers at the Paradise Jam Tournament in the Virgin Islands. Texas has a strong set of core players returning but faces a tough nonconference schedule and it will need consistency if the team expects to make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament this year. Going into her second season with the Longhorns, head coach Gail Goestenkors will be vying for Texas' second NCAA tournament appearance in the last four years. Senior guard Brittainey Raven was named to the preseason All-Big 12 Team and is expected to lead Texas in scoring as she did last year with 13.4 ppg. Also returning is senior guard Earnesia Williams with a fifth year of eligibility. She was a leader in field goal percentage and rebounds. The Longhorns will face defending champion Hallie Mann NEBRASKA (15-16, 6-10) Vs. Kansas: Feb. 10, 7 p.m., Lawrence; March 3, 7:05 p.m., Lincoln, Neb. Key newcomers: F Meghin Williams, G Lindsey Moore Key loses: G Tay Hester The Nebraska Cornhuskers will return all but one player for the team that clinched a berth in the WNIT before being bounced by UNM in the first round. Defenses will tailor their game plan to the three stars of last season: Cory Montgomery, Yvonne Turner and Dominique Kelley. Montgomery, 6-foot-2 senior forward from Cannon Falls, Minn., and Turner, 5-foot-8 senior guard from Omaha, BNB, highlight a solid senior class. Montgomery led the Cornhuskers with 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while Turned added 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. Kelley, 5-foot-7 junior guard from Lincoln, Neb., chipped in 9.7 points per game and paced Nebraska with 2.5 assists per game. — Christian Lucero IOWA STATE (27-9,11-5) Vs.

Kansas: Jan. 17, 1 p.m., Lawrence; Jan. 30, 5 p.m., Lawrence Missouri is looking to rebound from a forgettable 2008-2009 season where it finished 11th in the Big 12. The Tigers struggled to put the ball in the basket, averaging a Big 12 low of 60.6 points per game, as well as finishing last in field goal, free throw and three-point shooting percentages. Key losses: G Alyssa Hollins Key newcomers: G Sydney Crafton, G Trenee Thornton Losing leading scorer, Alyssa Hollins, won't help out the offensive woes in Columbia, but the Tigers do return every other player from last season's roster. With Hollins gone, coach Cindy Stein will look to upperclassmen Jessra Johnson, Shakara Jones, and RaeShara Brown to build on their successful 2008-2009 campaigns. With the addition of two freshmen guards to the backcourt, Missouri hopes to further bolster its production on the offensive end, which will be essential if it hopes to contend for a Big 12 title. Ben Ward KANSAS STATE (25-8,10-6) Vs. Kansas: Jan. 9, 11 a.m., Lawrence; Feb. 7, 1 p.m., Lawrence Key losses: G Shalee Lehning, F Marlies Gipson, G/F Danielle Zanotti should see their scoring opportunities increase further. Sweat finished fourth in scoring in the Big 12 with 16.5 points per game. Only two players averaged more playing time than Kincaid. But for as much as Sweat and Kincaid can put on their shoulders this season, the Wildcats are picked to finish eighth in the 2009-10 Big 12 preseason coaches' poll. This would be an uncharacteristic drop for a team that has been in the top tier of the conference for a while. Kansas State missed out on the Big 12 title game last season by 25.3 seconds and won the championship in the 2007-08 season. Key returners: F Ashley Sweat, G Kari Kaicda With three of Kansas State's starting five missing — including Lehning, who led the Big 12 in assists with 229 (7.63 per game) and led the Wildcats in rebounds — senior forward Ashley Sweat and senior guard Kari Kincaid Stephen Montemayor TEXAS A&M (27-8,11-5) Last year the Aggies couldn't Key returners: G/F Tanisha Smith, Gydney Colson Key losses: G Takia Starks, G/F Danielle Gant, C La Toya Micheaux Vs. Kansas: March 6, 7 p.m. Lawrence — Stephen Montemayor convert a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament into a Final Four berth as their season ended in a 84-69 loss to Arizona State. Baylor needed a clutch shot in the closing 30 seconds of the Big 12 title game to stop Texas A&M from claiming the conference crown and the Aggies should contend again. Selected fourth in the Big 12 preseason coaches' poll, the Aggies return Smith, whose 10.6 points per game were good for third on the team. She will be expected to lead a Texas A&M squad devoid of Starks and Gant, a pair of players who played in and started all of the team's 35 games. BAYLOR (29-6,12-4) Vs.

In junior guards Jones and Griffin, the Lady Bears have a pair of players who led in scoring for all three NCAA tournament games. Jones is the team's highest returning scorer with the four other leading scorers gone. Griffin saw the third most minutes on the court and the team can use all the experience it can get. The team's leading scorer Danielle Wilson opted not to return for a senior season after a knee injury in February cut short her 2008-09 season. With her goes 15.1 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game (also a team high). Jhasmin Player, whose heroics won the Big 12 title in March, and Jessica Morrow also are missing from the roster one year after starting all but one game and finishing in the top two in minutes played.

Sherron simply cannot find his shot. Most national title contenders could never overcome such a daunting hypothetical mess. No big two for Kansas? No problem for coach Bill Self.

He was the first player off the bench in 13 games last season, and shows wisdom that makes him as valuable as other, more talented players 785-842-3040 village@sunflower.com KANSAS 14 ing media frenzy. Amidst the mayhem, all seven feet of the center from San Diego slipped away from the West and found himself in Lawrence. Now Jeff Withey, Cole's mighty apprentice, is eligible to play and ready to take advantage of his newfound liberty. The transfer freshman possesses masterful shot-blocking abilities, strong post moves, an above average shot and pest-like wits near the cylinder We could be looking at a clone of Cole here — this kid has limitless potential. If Withey lives up to the hype, he could be the primary reason the Jayhawks hoist some hardware in April. MARKIEFF MORRIS It is a thing of beauty to watch the Morris brothers work the paint as a tandem. However much of last year featured the Morrises as one revolving power forward with ten fouls and everlasting energy With only so many minutes to go around, expect a similar strategy with this year's team. Marcus earned his way to starter's minutes because of a more polished offensive game than his brother's. Yet it could be easily argued that Markieff is the defensive mauler of the two, Representing Philly like Black Thought and Jimmy Rollins, Markieff has a multi-dimensional game. He can knock down a silky 20-footer, pass like Pistol Pete and snatch boards with his monstrous paws. As the first player off the bench in 13 games last year, the Academic All-B12 big 12 team member's intangibles were incalculable. Whether it was a three in the corner as the shot clock buzzed to zero Owning such a versatile inside- outside game, Kansas is lucky to have such a valuable presence waiting in the wings. or just an off-the-ball pick to set up a lay-up. Reed exhibited much needed wisdom and leadership on the court for such a young and inexperienced team. Wise beyond his years. Reed looks to keep up his scrappy style and steal minutes from his talent-heavier teammates. MARIO LITTLE TYREL REED Some games Mario wouldn't show up. Others he would post 15 points and be the salvaging third musketeer to Cole and Sherron. Injuries rattled most of Mario's season, but he has already proven his status as a lightning rod that can spark instantly off the bench. Rated as Rivals.com's No. 1 JUCO player nationally in 2008, super Mario can contribute solid minutes as a two guard or a swingman. C.J. HENRY The lesser-appreciated of the Henry brothers, this combo guard is a redshirted freshman with endless range on his jumper. But the fact that the 23-year-old, 6-foot-4, 200-pound point guard will be challenging sub-6-foot midgids could be the most appealing draw to this Henry's game. By the way, thanks (unkindly) for the tuition money, Yankees. Johnson's adjustment from high school to Division 1 competition could be the deciding factor as to who gets minutes between him and C.J. Henry. Rivals.com's No. 5 rated point guard recruit in 2009 contains the burst to get to the hoop and a butter-smooth shot to seal the deal. Johnson is the likely successor to Sherron. ELIJAH JOHNSON This 6-foot-9, 230-pound leviathan wreaks absolute havoc in the paint. Robinson is a high-energy force that lays claim to plus athleticism for an ideal four man. Of course, translating success in high school to the heat of big 12 play is no easy task. But Robinson was a five-star prospect and Rivals.com's No. 7 power forward recruit in 2009 for a THOMAS ROBINSON reason — he brings the pain. TRAVIS RELEFORD The talent is undoubtedly there. It's just difficult to decipher a true role for Releford on such a deep squad. When he plays, the sophomore can get to the hoop in a flash or hit a fade away in a defender's eye. His biggest problem isn't his time, its surroundings. Bill Self holds a razor sharp swiss army knife of skills on his bench. Expect a turnstile of substitutions until every player carves out his role with the team. Just know that after the first five, plenty of Jayhawks are willing and able. It is this depth that gives Kansas something that other title hopefuls don't have. After all, Sherron was the first man off the bench the last time the national title lived in Lawrence.

Jensen gave a presentation Wednesday night at the Natural History Museum entitled "A Survey of Tapeworms from the Vertebrate Bowls of the Earth" which highlighted the diversity of parasites and tapeworms that can be found in a variety of animals, and particularly sharks and striped snails. Adam Buhler/KANSAN BY JUSTIN LEVERETT jleverett@kansan.com t Kirsten Jensen loves tapeworms. She loves their miniscule, intricate biology. She loves the way they look under a scanning electron microscope. And she loves that the paths of their lives, like hers, are often dictated by chance. Jensen, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary science, gave a presentation about tapeworms called "From the Vertebrate Bowels of the Earth" at the Natural History Museum yesterday Follow Justin Leverett at twitter.com/chmendric. evening. Her presentation was the first of a series of "Wild Science" lectures hosted by the museum. Jensen spoke about a collaborative research project aiming to discover new species and to better describe the many of the nearly 5,000 known species of tapeworms. The National Science Foundation funds the international initiative, which is called the Planetary Biodiversity Inventory Program. During her childhood in Delmenhorst, Germany, Jensen knew that she liked biology, especially marine biology, but she had no idea which animal she would end up studying. After specializing in biology in high school, Jensen traveled to the U.S. to spend a year at the University of Connecticut. Upon arrival, Jensen was surprised to find that there was no resident marine biologist. But the University did have a resident parasitologist, Janine Caira. As Jensen spent more time working with Caira, she came to love the study of parasites. Jensen's year in the U.S. turned into eight years, the time it took to get her master's and doctorate degree in parasitology. Jensen has now lived here 16 years. It was serendipity, she said. Jensen finds the same element of chance present in the lives of the tapeworms that she studies. She said that tapeworms are transported from host to host throughout their life cycles and that they have no control of this movement. Tiny crustaceans called copepods eat the tapeworm's eggs before they can hatch into larvae. Researchers think the copepods are then eaten by clams, snails or small fish, which are in turn eaten by sharks and rays, transporting the tapeworms up the food chain. At any point in this process, something could go wrong and endanger the growing tapeworms' lives. Jensen said the unpredictability of the tapeworms' journeys SEE TAPEWORMS ON PAGE 3A HEALTH University's sexual health ranking decreases MAGI BY ZACH WHITE zwhite@kansan.com The University of Kansas lost to Kansas State University and the University of Missouri this week, but it wasn't in sports. According to the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card Rankings, the University is 56th in the nation, behind Kansas State at 47th and Missouri at 48th. The University's ranking dropped from 48th last year, when Missouri was 64th and Kansas State was 84th. The University ranked 56th in the nation in sexual health according to a TMIan survey. This is down from the University's 48th ranking last year. The rankings were based on a cumulative grade point average, calculating a university's performance in 13 categories. These categories judged the availability and ease of use of a university's sexual health services. The firm BestPlaces conducted the research for Trojan condoms. Bert Sperling, firm creator, said the research was meant to highlight the importance of sexual health education. The University received a 2.71 on a 4.0 scale. t "We looked at the information available to the students," Sperling said. "The more information they get and the more services they get the better decisions they can make and stay healthy." Follow Zach White at twitter.com/ zachandthenews. Sperling used three methods in Weston White/KANSAN researching. There was a survey sent to health centers at the 141 universities in the study, asking about their services and availability. The health center's Web sites were evaluated for usability. And lastly a survey of students' impressions of health centers was conducted through Facebook. According to Bruce Tetreault, group product manager for Trojan, the results were then put into a ranking to better catch the attention of students. "We need to drive awareness of sexual health," Tetreault said. "What better way than to rank schools? People love rankings." Sarber also said he remembered their survey asking whether the University had machines for students to buy contraceptives on campus. According to Sarber the university chooses not to do "They're more interested in selling Trojan condoms than getting the facts straight," Sarber said. this, because of reported cases of such machines being broken into and robbed at other universities. Student Health Services prefers distributing condoms to resident assistants to be given freely to students, along with information on proper usage. Ken Sarber, public health educator at KU Student-Health Services, remains skeptical. Saphire Stockman, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said she recognized the need for improvement at the University Sperling explained that the University scored above average across the board, except that there is not a regular column dealing with sexual health in the University "Sex education is obviously something that could be worked on," Stockman said. "Formal education on safe sex is really important." Daily Kansan. He also offered the explanation that a place lowering can be caused just as much by another university's rise as another's shortcomings. Lavren Hendrick contributed reporting to this story. Edited by Tim Burgess REPORT CARD KU earns C+ grade in green efforts BY ALY VAN DYKE avandvke@kansan.com University students earned top marks in their efforts to green the campus culture, but in other areas the university still needed some work, according to the College Sustainability Report Card. The Sustainable Endowments Institute based out of Cambridge, Mass., gave the University a C+ this year, up two grades from its C-streak since 2007. The Sustainable Endowments Institute has rated universities on sustainability for the past four years. Each year, the institute sends out a survey to the various colleges to be completed and submitted online. The institute evaluates the schools on nine different categories, ranging from Administration to Endowment. This year, it sent out the survey to 332 colleges in the U.S. and Canada. The highest grade, given to 26 universities, was an A-. 'The average was a B-'. Kansas State University received a C- , while the University of Missouri earned a B-. The University and Missouri both received a C-last year. "We're not leading the way, but we're not following behind the pack either." jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said. This year the University received B's in administration, climate change and energy, food and recycling and transportation. It earned As in student involvement and investment in renewable energy. But it recieved A in its green building efforts and F's in endowment transparency and shareholder engagement. Severin, like others who filled out the survey, said he thought a B, rather than a C+, would be a more appropriate grade. Most said they would factor out the endowment responses and adjust the survey's Green Building standard to better reflect the University's efforts to protect the environment. WINNING GRADES Unlike the past years, the University didn't see a single grade drop from last year. In fact, four sections received better grades, one being Student Involvement, which jumped from a C to an A. Severin said the jump was mostly because, for the first time, student leaders in campus environmental groups completed the survey instead of the Center for Sustainability. "It's pretty evident on our campus how much students have made a difference". Severin said, pointing to the Rain Garden and the Potter Lake Project as examples of student initiatives making a difference. Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior and president of KU Environs, was one of the four students who helped complete the survey this summer.

Associated Press U.N. votes against Cuban embargo ASSOCIATED PRESS MERCADITO CUBA 510 MERCADITO CUBA 510 UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly condemned the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, an annual ritual that highlights global opposition to the policy. This year's vote was 187-3 in opposition to the embargo, up from 185-3 last year, with only Israel and the tiny Pacific island nation of Palau supporting the United States. Micronesia and the Marshall Islands abstained both years. It was the 18th year in a row that the General Assembly has taken up the symbolic measure, with Washington steadily losing what little support it once had. ASSOCIATED PRESS Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez ticked off a long list of grievances in his speech before the world body, saying the 47-year-old embargo — which the Cubans refer to as a blockade — had cost the island's fragile economy tens of billions of dollars over the years and prevented Cuban children from getting needed medical care. act of arrogance," Rodriguez said. He likened the policy to "an act of genocide" that is "ethically unacceptable." "The blockade is an uncultured One after another, global representatives stood to speak in opposition to the embargo, calling it a cruel anachronism that ran counter to international law and that only succeeded in hurting ordinary Cubans, particularly women and children. A woman uses a soft drinks dispenser in Havana, Wednesday. The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned the 47-year U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, an annual ritual that serves to highlight near-unanimous global opposition to America's hard-line policy toward Cuba, but which has done little to change Washington's stance, even with a new administration. It was the first time the world body has taken the vote since President Barack Obama took office in January, promising to extend a hand of friendship to Washington's traditional enemies. The administration has loosened financial and travel restrictions on Americans with relatives in Cuba, and started talks aimed at restoring direct mail links. It sent a senior diplomat to Havana in September for unannounced meetings with Cuban officials that were believed to be the highest-level talks between the two countries in decades. Still, Washington has made clear it is not prepared to lift the embargo until Cuba accepts some political, economic and financial changes. Rodriguez said the question of the embargo represented a "test of character" for the U.S. and its new president. "President Obama has historical opportunity to lead a change of policy toward Cuba and the lifting of the blockade," he said, but lamented that "since the election" of the new U.S. leader "there has not been any change in the implementation of the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba."

' "There could be a current and all the eggs get swept some where where there's a host that is not suitable, where there's copepods that might not eat them," she said. Following the tapeworms through their life cycle has led jensen across the world. She has traveled with research collaborators to fish markets in places such as Borneo, Senegal and Taiwan in search of sharks and rays with tapeworms in their gut. She said the fishermen usually allowed them to remove the gut, as long as they gave back the remainder of the meat for the merchant to sell. "They rarely ever say no," jensen said. "Then we go to some corner of the market and get the tapeworms out or fix them in formaldehyde like that." Caitlin Gibbs, Overland Park freshman, who attended the lecture, said she liked the idea of traveling, but was squeamish about the idea of removing fish guts to find worms. "I wish I could travel that much, but I don't know if that's the kind of hanging out on the beach that I want to do," she said. Jen Humphrey, communications director for the Natural History Museum, said that the "Wild Science" lectures feature scientists who, like Jensen, are passionate about their research. "What really is a common thread among them is researchers who have expertise in their area, who have a passion for it, and are really willing to share their experiences with the public," she said.

T. Daldorph REPORT CARD (CONTINUED FROM 1A) environmental initiatives on campus have improved since the Center for Sustainability established its Faculty Ambassador program in 2007. However, he said students still initiated the vast majority of programs. "If students had it their way, all the categories would have an A," Callihan said. But he said he would like to see more administration involvement and support for environmental initiatives on campus. "The students can only do so much before we run into administration problems or the University just doesn't want to improve things". Callihan said. Another grade increase was in Food and Recycling, which increased from a C to a B this year. "The students can only do so much before we run into administration problems." Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining Services, said KU Dining earned a better grade through being proactive in its sustainability initiatives over the past year. She listed the biodegradable disposables in the retail cafes, the trayless effort in the residence dining halls and the rooftop garden as examples. Other gains were made in Climate and Energy and Transportation standards where both increased from C's to B's. The 15elliptical machines cycling energy back into the power grid at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center helped contribute to the jump the Climate and Energy grade. The free bus rides for students helped the Transportation standard earn its B. FAILING GRADES Of the nine sections used to evaluate universities' sustainability efforts, the University did poorly in three: Green Building, which received a D, and Endowment Transparency and Shareholder Engagement, which both received a F's. LEED-certified buildings are seen Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management, said the Green Building standard received Ds the past three years because the survey focused primarily on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications. as some of the most energy efficient and environmentally conscious structures in the world. RYAN CALLIHAN President of KU Environs "The LEED program is a very worthy program, but to participate in LEED, you have to pay a considerable amount of money for assessments, forms and applications fees," he said. "Instead of paying for assessments and application fees to get a plaque on the wall, we would rather take those monies and reinvest them in the University where we can see some good for the money we spent." tion to Memorial Stadium with a LEED Platinum rating, the highest there is, could add about $3 million to the project. The cost for LEED certifications varies, but most estimates say the certification processing fees are between $20,000 and $60,000, and construction costs increase by 8.5 percent. For example, certifying the $34 million Gridiron Club addi- Instead of having LEED certifications for its buildings, the University has a policy requiring all new buildings to beat the state's energy efficiency standard by 30 percent. This standard will come into play in the next few years for the new pharmacy building, the Gridiron Club building and a building on Edwards Campus. Modig said that was as good as having energy efficiency equivalent to a LEED certified building, just without the cost and the plaque. He said, in addition to the policy for new buildings. Design and Construction Management has made several efforts to increase energy efficiency in older buildings, such as replacing black roofs with white roofs to minimize heat gain and reflective heat The Endowment Association has received Fs' since the Sustainable According to the survey, Kansas University Endowment Association had its own issues. Endowments Institute started grading sustainability in 2007. Dale Seuferling, Endowment Association president, said the organization answered the survey in the strictest sense possible, which gives the impression that Endowment Association doesn't share records. He said that lowered the grade. "We do respond to public requests for holdings and provide that information," he said. After receiving yet another failing grade, Seuferling said he looked at the responses of other schools and realized the Endowment Association could represent its policy more accurately next year. The Endowment Association did receive an A in Investment Priorities, and has since 2008. The survey cited investments in renewable energy funds and policies for investment managers relating to sustainability as reasons for the high grade. "We're not leading the way, but we're not following behind the pack either." FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS Although the University jumped a couple grades, most experts agreed the University could still do more to improve sustainability. Severin said energy efficient upgrades on existing buildings would lower the University's carbon footprint. "The policy does a good job for new buildings, but we still have all these ancient buildings that need updated." Severin said. He said one calculation found that 75 percent of the University's carbon emissions can be attributed to activities in buildings on campus. JEFF SEVERIN Director of Center for Sustainability Modig said Design and Construction Management could look at reusing more of its building materials, but said what the University really needed was a cultural change toward recycling and sustainability. "When people really begin to practice that and really begin to accept that culture. I think that's where the University would probably see the greatest gain toward getting their A in sustainability," he said. Edited by Anna Kathagnarath A B SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS Student Involvement Seventeen organizations are listed as affiliated with sustainability; four organizations filled out the survey, citing several projects initiated by students. Investment Priorities The University is invested in renewable energy. Policies for investment managers relate to sustainability. Administration The University had several policies in place toward purchasing eco-friendly materials. Almost 100 people serve as members or ambassadors for the Center for Sustainability. D The University increased its recycled copy paper purchases from 6.5 percent from July to December 2008 to 17 percent from January to July 2009. Climate and Energv The University doesn't have an emissions goal. One full-time student generated 10.51 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2008. The University doesn't have an emissions goal. 2.24 percent of the University's electricity is offset through wind credits. The University's greenhouse gas emissions rose 9 percent in 2008 to more than 240,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. F Food and Recycling The tray-less program at the three residence dining halls has reduced student waste from 4.2 oz per day to 2.3 oz per day and saved more than 115,000 gallons of water. $94,000 of KU Dining's $6 million food budget is used to purchase local food. 95 percent of the campus' landscaping waste is composted or mulched. Transportation 43 percent of people commute to campus via environmentally friendly transportation - walking, biking, carpooling or bus. 18 percent of full-time students live on campus. Green Building Endowment Transparency No LEED-certified buildings on campus. Policy requires new buildings to beat a different energy efficiency standard by 30 percent.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Sunni leader fatally shot in FBI raid BY ED WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — A man described as a leader of a radical Sunni Islam group in the U.S. was fatally shot Wednesday afternoon while resisting arrest and exchanging gunfire with federal agents, authorities said. Agents at a warehouse in Dearborn were trying to arrest Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms. Ten followers listed in a criminal complaint were also being rounded up in the area. A b d u l l a h refused to surrender, fired a weapon and was killed by gunfire from agents, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said. In a court filing, the FBI said Abdullah, also known as Christopher to establish an Islamic state within the US. No one was charged with terrorism. But Abdullah was "advocating and encouraging his followers to commit violent acts against the United States," FBI agent Gary Leone said in an affidavit. "He regularly preaches anti-government and anti-law enforcement rhetoric," Leone said. "Abdullah and his followers have trained regularly in the use of firearms, and continue to train in martial arts and sword fighting." Leone said members of the national group mostly are black and some converted to Islam while in prisons across the United "Abdullah preaches that every Muslim should have a weapon, and should not be scared to use their weapon when needed."

Al-Amin, a veteran of the black power movement, started the group after he converted to Islam in prison. "They're not taking their cues from overseas," said limmy Jones, a professor of world religions at Manhattanville College and a longtime Muslim prison chaplain. "This group is very much American born and bred." The movement at one time was believed to include a couple of dozen mosques around the country.

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2009 NEWS 5A ACADEMICS Business school promotes professor Poppo is school's second female full professor BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com Laura Poppo has worked most of her life to attain the title of professor. Her years of work paid off when she was named the first female full professor in the University's School of Business since the early 1990s. She is now the only female business professor at the University. In the School of Business, it takes at least five years to become an assistant professor, six more to move on to associate professor and another 10 Poppo six or more to become a full professor. Poppo said because business was still somewhat of a male-dominated profession, women were expected to put parts of their life on hold to make it to a higher ranking than men. "Business is still a relatively new profession beginning in the late t Follow writer Anna Archibald at twitter.com/ archmonarch. 80s," said Poppo, who earned the title of professor last month. "It has been historically dominated by men. A woman's reproductive cycle and the tenure of a professor don't always work well together." Despite the lack of encouragement for women in the professional world, Poppo said that the University was very "human," and that since she came here in 2007, she could see they cared about her as a person. "While I was working at the first job, a senior faculty member said to me. "This is not a good time for you to get married or have kids," Poppo said. "But many'of my male colleagues my age were married and had kids." Many people, including Poppo, said it seemed strange that she was only the second female full-professor of business in the history of the University. "I'm so proud," Poppo said. "I've worked really hard to accumulate the research and background to get this far." Other universities in the area, however, have the University beat in the number of female professors. Melanie Horton, administrative assistant to the dean at Kansas State University, said the School of Business had two female professors and the University of Missouri had three. Before Poppo, Marilyn Taylor was the last female business full professor at the University. Toni Dixon, director of communications in the School of Business, said Taylor hadn't taught since the late 1980s or early 1990s. "I'm very excited about it," Dixon said. I have the same questions as to why it's taken so long, but I'm looking forward to a woman moving to the top echelon of the school." Stacy Kovar, accounting professor at Kansas State since 1997, has been a full professor for a year and a half. "If you look at our profession historically, it has just been in the last 20 years that numbers of women have matched men in Ph.D. programs," Kovar said. "When I first took an interest in the profession, there were a lot more male than female faculty." She said over the years, some schools have done a better job than others at recruiting and "It's been challenging recruiting women at K-State because of the history involved," she said. "It takes a long time to get through being unrepresented in the workplace and this is not necessarily the easiest place to attract women to." "A woman's reproductive cycle and the tenure of a professor don't always work well together." Poppo said the University has proved to her it is possible to balance all these areas of her life and receive support from colleagues while doing so. Consequently, LAURA POPPO Business professor Poppo said the encouragement she's received from her husband over the years has helped her through the long journey. She has been married for 14 years and has two kids. Cory Boor, Medicine Lodge senior and business minor, said he had never had a female business professor. "It's important for students to be taught from a female perspective as well," he said. "We're taught about the contrasting relationship between male and female bosses in the workplace and I think it's important to get the same thing out of instructors." Edited by Sarah Kelly NATION New England church tries to set down roots MILITARY [Name] WATERTOWN, Mass. — It's hard to tell in the quiet of a color-splashed autumn morning, but Redeemer Fellowship Church is trying to set roots in a rough neighborhood. For churches, anyway. BY JAY LINDSAY Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS Dead churches are a familiar story in New England, which Air Force Sgt. Robert Stinson, a 24-year-old flight engineer, died in combat on Sept. 1, 1944. The remains of the World War II airman missing for 65 years after his bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean are being returned to the family for services on Friday. Until this new church opened last month, its 19th-century Congregational church building in suburban Watertown was empty for nearly two years. Just across the street, a closed Baptist church is filled with conds. So is a former Catholic church a half mile away. recent surveys indicate is now the least religious region in the country. But some see opportunity in a place where America's Christian faith laid its roots. "You look at this area and it's a great area of potential, it's a great area of need," said Redeemer Fellowship pastor Chris Bass, a Houston native. Several Christian denominations see New England as a "mission field" — a term often associated with unchurched, foreign lands. As they evangelize and work to plant new churches, they speak of possibility, but also frustration. The area's highly educated population is skeptical and often indifferent to their faith. Soldier's remains found 65 years later Associated Press BY GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press HIGHLAND, Calif. — For two decades after her son's bomber went down in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, Vella Stinson faithfully wrote the U.S. government twice a month to ask whether his body had been found — or whether anyone was looking. The mother of six strapping boys went to her grave without the answer that has finally reached her two surviving sons 65 years later: The remains of Sgt. Robert Stinson are coming home. Military divers recovered several pieces of leg bone from the wreckage of a B-24J Liberator bomber found at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of the island nation of Palau. DNA testing showed the femur fragments belonged to the 24-year-old flight engineer who died in combat on Sept.1,1944. Stinson's remains arrived under U.S. Air Force escort Wednesday and will be buried Friday at Riverside National Cemetery with full military honors. In between, the body will be kept at a mortuary less than 100 yards from the home where Stinson grew up with his brothers. "He's not someplace on a little island or at the bottom of the ocean. He's home," said Edward Stinson, who was 9 when his brother died. Designated driver does not mean least drunk. Better yet, why don't you get a Responsibilibuddy?

The terrifying scene on Tuesday left only one motorist with minor injuries, but stirred anger over the constant delays and soaring costs of the still-unfinished new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, which has become the largest public works project in California history. "I thought I was going into the Bay," said Andrea Nelson, who saw the crossbar and two rods fall and bounce on the road ahead of her. She swerved and her car spun out as she ran over the rods, which gushed her tires. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge remains closed throughout the afternoon Wednesday in San Francisco. Two rods and a 5,000-pound crossbeam fell into traffic lines, damaging three cars and injuring one person on the heavily used span during rush hour Tuesday. "I have lost so much confidence in the experts, the millions of dollars that are being spent to reconstruct and build a new bridge," she said. "I just find it shocking and unacceptable." arteries.

The rods that broke were holding a saddle-like cap that had been installed to strengthen the cracked eyebar. until the new bridge opened in 2013 - failed in less than two months. Ney said the strong winds likely played a role in the failure, which Caltrans engineers were trying to figure out why the recent repairs — which were supposed to last heightened concerns by some experts about the integrity of the repair and the bridge's safety in an earthquake. Scientists in 2008 said there is a 63 percent probability of a quake similar to the 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta temblor in the Bay area in the next 30 years. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, a civil engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley who studied the effects of the 1989 earthquake on the bridge, called the repair last month a "Band-Aid" that jeopardized public safety to get the bridge open quickly. "When this eyebar fractured, this is very serious element of this part of the bridge. So the safety issue is very serious here," he said. "The repair done, in my opinion, is very unusual to put it mildly." The main contractor on the repairs, C.C. Meyers, Inc., stood by the work, but deferred to Caltrans to determine why the pieces failed, spokeswoman Bery Ruyak said. Meanwhile, the Federal Highway Administration sent engineers on Wednesday to help Caltrans investigate. The federal agency said it had not inspected the Labor Day weekend repairs made to the heavily used span, instead relying on state inspection reports to ensure safety guidelines were met. "We're on our way to find out what happened with the repair," said Nancy Singer, a spokeswoman for the highway administration. Traffic was jammed on other San Francisco-area highways, as commuters looked for alternatives to the bridge. At a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in downtown San Francisco commuter clubs usually thin out by 9 a.m. But Wednesday, it was 11 a.m. and still looked like the end of rush hour. The information kiosk at the station had a line of people waiting to ask questions that regular BART riders already know. Kyla Monaghan, a graphic artist who lives in Oakland, waited until 10:30 to leave home Wednesday morning to try and miss the expected increase of riders on her usual 8:30 a.m. train. "I didn't want to be squished on a train," she said. "Normally, I sit down, read my magazine. Getting to work is usually the least stressful part of it." NYTIMES Snow forces closure of Rockies' roads BY KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — A storm bringing the first heavy snows of autumn to a large portion of the Rockies and western plains crippled parts of Colorado and Wyoming Wednesday, forcing road closures and sending students home from school as more than two feet piled up with much more expected. Tow trucks assist the Colorado State Patrol to clear stalled vehicles from westbound interstate 70 on Floyd Hill just west of the Denver metropolitan area Wednesday. A winter storm is forecast to drop to 18 inches of snow in the area. The slow-moving system socked Denver commuters with treacherous driving conditions — a strong punch for residents who were sporting short sleeves just weeks ago. Visibility fell below a quartermile in many areas, and forecasters warned the storm would linger and not move east until at least Thursday. The storm was expected to be the biggest snowmaker to hit Colorado's Front Range in October since 1997, said Byron Louis, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Boulder, Colo. Up to 18 inches of snow was forecast in Denver and as much as four feet was possible in the Colorado mountains. Cheyenne was expected to get at least 14 inches before the storm moves off. The National Weather Service predicted similar amounts for a wide area of Nebraska and Colorado plains. The storm also brought snow to northern Utah's Wasatch Front. The storm was even more unusual in parts of western Colorado. In Grand Junction, where about 2 inches fell, it was the heaviest snowfall this early in the season since 1995, said National Weather Service hydrologist Bryon Lawrence. Cold Creek in the south-west had recorded 28 inches by midafternoon. Some-schools in Colorado and Wyoming closed pre-emptively. including those in a Cheyenne district. And Colorado State University in Fort Collins sent students and staff home around mid-afternoon. A Colorado Springs homeless shelter decided to allow people who have been kicked out for breaking rules to return because of the weather. Wyoming state government shut down its offices in the Cheyenne area due to weather early in the afternoon. Most of the roughly 70 accidents in Wyoming happened on Interstate 80 before the Wyoming Department of Transportation closed the highway between Cheyenne and Laramie early in the day. Nine crashes caused injuries but no one was killed. "People are just not slowing down enough," department spokesman Bruce Burrows said. ART BY ULA ILNYTZKY Associated Press NEW YORK — A miniature portrait of Czar Peter the Great in a diamond-encrusted frame — owned for decades by an Arizona family that didn't realize its historic significance — is going on the auction block. The rare Russian treasure will be offered Monday at Sotheby's. Its presale estimate is $80,000 to $120,000. Theestate of the original owner, George Roberts, learned of its importance during an appraisal over the summer. Roberts purchased it in 1951 from a London dealer. Experts believe that as few as 10 of the bejeweled miniatures were bestowed by Peter the Great on his subjects for their exceptional service to him. Until the latest discovery, only In 2001, one of the two in private hands sold for $132,500 at Christie's. five were known to exist, three of them in museum collections. They predate the better known Order of St. Andrew award for civilian and military merit. The 3½-inch-high oval portrait at the upcoming sale depicts Peter the Great in a blue cape and the sash of the Order of St. Andrew. The frame hangs from an imperial crown surrounded with diamonds. The reverse side is engraved with a triple-crowned, imperial double-headed eagle. While believing it had some value because of the diamonds, Roberts' granddaughter, who lives in northern Arizona and did not want to be identified, had no idea it was an early 18th-century work of historic importance.

Shannon arrived in Honduras to try to revile talks between opositions factions. Talks break down between Honduras' political factions 1987 BY JUAN ZAMORANO Associated Press TEGUCIGALPA, * Honduras TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Washington asked coup-torn Honduras' opposing political factions to be more flexible about ways to resolve the country's 4-month-old crisis, as a delegation led by a senior U.S. official arrived Wednesday in hopes of spurring further dialogue. Talks between representatives of the interim government and supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya have broken over a key point — whether Zelaya will be reinstated — with a previously scheduled election looming in November. Tom Shannon, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, led the delegation, which includes his department's No. 2, Craig Kelly, and Dan Restrepo, President Barack Obama's point man on Latin America to the National Security Council. They did not speak to reporters before heading into meetings, but U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said the diplomats planned to talk to both camps. "They're urging both sides to show flexibility and redouble their efforts to bring this crisis to an end," Kelly told reporters Wednesday in Washington. Kelly said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who called both leaders this weekend, "believes that the United States could play a constructive role now to encourage all sides to return to the negotiating table." The international community, including the United States, wants Zelaya returned to office. But the government of Robert Micheletti, sworn in as interim president after the coup, says Zelaya was legally removed from office June 28 after he defied a court order to cancel a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution. It accuses the leftist leader of attempting to lift a ban on presidential term limits, something Zelaya denies. Micheletti said Tuesday that talks should resume after the Nov. 29 elections and that the vote will resolve the crisis — despite warnings from Zelaya and a number of countries and international bodies that they will not recognize the election if Zelaya is not back in office by then. Also Wednesday, the Micheletti government said it is filing a complaint with the International Court of Justice in the Hague to demand Brazil stop sheltering Zelaya at its embassy in Tegucigalpa. It accuses Brazil of violating its diplomatic status and could seek unspecified compensation for alleged damages to the Honduran state, according to a statement from Carlos Lopez, the interim foreign minister. Zelaya, who was escorted out of the country by soldiers at gunpoint on June 28, has been inside the diplomatic compound. NATIONAL THE BLOOD IS ON THE ROAD.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Afghan policemen carry a wounded U.N. staffer from a U.N. guest house after it was attacked by gunmen Wednesday in Kabul, Afghanistan. Gunmen attacked a guest house used by U.N. staff in the Afghan capital of Kabul early Wednesday, officials said. A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility, saying it was meant as an assault on the upcoming presidential election. Man defends house with AK-47 U.N. election workers escape Taliban attack in Afghanistan BY HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press KABUL — Armed with an AK-47, an American contract worker said Wednesday he held off militants attacking a guest house in Kabul, allowing about two dozen U.N. election workers to escape. John Christopher "Chris" Turner, a trucker from Kansas City, Mo., described opening fire at the assaultants as the guests he was protecting huddled in a laundry room at the back of the building. "I am armed. I carry an AK-47 and I kept firing it to keep the attackers away from the group I was guarding," he said, describing how he shot from the entrance of the laundry room. The group later jumped over a back wall to take refuge in a house behind the guest house, he said. It was not possible to reach others who had been staying at the guest house to verify Turner's account. They were being evacuated to Dubai for counseling, the U.N. said. Turner did not have a weapon when he spoke with an Associated Press reporter. About 40 people were at the Bakhtar guest house in the heart of the Afghan capital during the dawn attack. The Taliban has claimed responsibility. Eleven people died in the attack, including five U.N. staff and three gunmen in police uniforms. Turner, 62, called his father in suburban Kansas City after the attack, 82-year-old Lionel Turner told the AP. "He said he was burned a little, but that he wasn't hurt," the father said. "Hes got more guts than a Missouri mule." Turner returned to the guest house hours after the attack to collect his personal belongings. He emerged from the fire-gutted, three-story building with a black chest packed with clothes and other personal belongings. He told reporters that he was a trucking contractor hired by the U.S. Department of Defense. Turner said the attackers appeared well organized and were able to penetrate the building, located on a residential street. Two men jumped out of the guest house and broke their legs and that a fire engulfed much of the building during a two-hour gunbattle between the assailants and Afghan policemen, Turner said. Turner said he ran upstairs knocking at doors to rouse the residents and that he and the 25 with him locked themselves in the laundry room before they thought it was safe enough to jump the back wall.

Barrett, Realtors 781 245-5011 www.gatesofgreenwood.com BY ALAN ZIBEL Associated Press A new development of townhouses is seen in Wakefield, Mass. Sales of new homes dropped unexpectedly last month as the effects of a soon-to-expire tax credit for first-time owners started to wane. September orders to factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rose 1 percent last month — not WASHINGTON — The Great Recession may be over, but the recovery is just beginning, and it's doesn't promise to be easier. That may be happening in the manufacturing sector, which has also been pumped up by government building projects. Economists forecast the nation's total output grew at an annual rate of 3.3 percent between July and September, after contracting for a record four straight quarters. That growth has been fueled by a huge influx of government cash, including a temporary tax credit for first-time homeowners and a $1.25 trillion Federal Reserve program to keep mortgage rates low. Both efforts are likely to end by next summer, and the housing industry is already feeling it. New home sales in September unexpectedly fell 3.6 percent, the first decline since March and a distinct sign of weakness in a market that had rebounded strongly over the summer. Homebuilders are traditionally big employers, but the industry isn't hiring yet because there's a glut of homes on the market. There were 251,000 new homes for sale at the end of September, or about 7.5 months' supply at the current sales pace. That's about two months too much. While the unemployment rate fell slightly in most metro areas in September, the trend was fueled by discouraged job seekers leaving the work force, according to government data released Wednesday. The rate fell in 223 of 380 metros, or almost 60 percent. The jobless rate rose in 123 areas, and was unchanged in 34. "The job market is not recovering at all yet," said Jim Diffley, regional economist for IHS Global Insight. "We're looking at another jobless recovery." a huge increase but an improvement from a 2.6 percent drop in August, the government reported Wednesday. Demand for machinery offset weakness in commercial aircraft and autos. That report, however, was not enough to distract investors from the disappointing unemployment and housing reports. Stocks fell Wednesday with the Dow Jones industrial average down 119 points, or 1.2 percent, to 9.805.01 Shares of homebuilders also tumbled. Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. led the way, falling 3.9 percent, or 41 cents, to $3.89. The drop in new home sales could help lobbying campaigns by real estate agents and homebuilders who want Congress to extend the tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers. "Seeing a number like this today, I think a lot of lawmakers will be pounding their fists on the table" arguing to extend the credit, said Jennifer Lee, an economist with BMO Capital Markets. Senators agreed Wednesday to extend the tax credit until June 30. "The job market is not recovering at all yet. We're looking at another jobless recovery." as long as buyers sign sales agreements by April 30. JIM DIFFLEY Economist Lawmakers were considering adding a credit for home buyers who already own homes, perhaps allowing up to $6,500 for people who have been in their current home at least five years. Details were still being negotiated. Critics, however, say many buyers would have made their purchases anyway and call the government incentives an unnecessary And extending tax credit may have a limited affect, they say. subsidy for people who don't need it. "Most people who receive the tax credit are people who would have bought a house anyway," said Ted Gaver, an economist at the Brookings Institution. "That's a big windfall at taxpayers' expense." New home sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 402,000 from a downwardly revised 417,000 in August. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a pace of 440,000. However, they are still up 22 percent from the bottom in January, and analysts don't expect them to recede too far. INTERNATIONAL Questioning election declared crime BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's supreme leader said Wednesday that questioning the results of Iran's June presidential election was a crime, his strongest warning yet to opposition leaders who continue to insist the vote was rigged. Ayatolah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, did not go so far as to order the arrest of those leaders, as called for by hard-liners, but his words signaled the government could take stronger action if the criticism continues. "The day after the election, some people, without logic or reason, called the glorious election a lie," state TV quoted Khamenei as saying. He said questioning the election was "the biggest crime." Opposition leader Mir Hosein Mousavi has said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole the June 12 election from him through massive vote fraud. Hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets in the days after the vote, prompting the government to stage a violent crackdown. Although the street protests died down months ago, Mousavi and other leading opposition figures, including fellow presidential candidate Mahdi Karroubi and former President Mohamad Khatami, have refused to silence their protests.

INTERNATIONAL Car bomb kills 100 people in Pakistan market (1) 爆發后，雲霧漿滿地，雲中散落如雪。人群嚎叫聲震天，街道一片狼藉。彈石倒下，街道破壞。 People gather at the site of an explosion where a car bomb tore through a busy market in Peshawar, Pakistan Wednesday. Hillary Rodham Clinton, secretary of state, visited the country and pledged American support for its campaign against Islamist militants. BY ROBERT BURNS Associated Press PESAHWAR, Pakistan — Suspected militants exploded a car bomb in a market crowded with women and children Wednesday, killing 100 people and turning shops selling wedding dresses, toys and jewelry into a mass of burning debris and bodies. ASSOCIATED PRESS The attack in the northwestern city of Peshawar was Pakistan's deadliest since 2007 and came as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the country to offer support for its fight against a strengthening al-Qaida and Taliban-led insurgency based along the Afghan border. more people to inform on them. Clinton was three hours' drive away in the capital meeting Pakistani government leaders when the bomb went off in Peshawar. Her trip was not announced in advance in Pakistan for security reasons. "He who kills a Muslim has no place but hell," said Mumtaz Ali, a wounded 19-year-old who was studying in a Muslim school attached to a mosque that was damaged in the attack. "We are taught the way of the prophet. We are not taught to kill innocent people." The bomb was directed squarely at civilians, unlike many previous blasts that have targeted security forces or government or Western interests. While no one claimed responsibility, the bomb appeared aimed at undercutting public and political support for an ongoing army offensive against militants close to the frontier and showing that the government was unable to keep its people safe. The U.S. believes fighting the insurgents on the frontier is vital to defeating extremism in Pakistan as well as in Afghanistan, where Taliban militants with links to those in Pakistan are waging an ever more violent campaign against American and NATO troops. The shaky, U.S.-backed government said the bombing — the latest in a series this month — had strengthened its resolve to press ahead with the assault in the South Waziristan border region, a militant stronghold and a global training and operations hub for al-Qaida. Underlining the threat in both nations, Taliban militants in suicide vests stormed a guest house used by U.N. staff in the heart of the Afghan capital on Wednesday, killing 11 people — six of them U.N. staff, including one American. The bombing just before 1:15 p.m. destroyed much of the Mina Bazaar in Peshawar's old town, a warren of narrow alleys clogged with stalls, shops and food sellers. The district drew mostly poor female shoppers and their children in this conservative city. Fire swept through the area after the blast, sending a cloud of gray smoke into the air. The wounded sat amid burning debris and parts of bodies. Men tried to pull survivors from beneath wreckage. One carried away a baby with a bloody face and a group of men rescued a young boy covered in dust, but others found only bodies of the dead. "My son died here," one man cried. At least 60 of the dead were women and children. Most security analysts said the attack could backfire on the insurgents and lead A two-story building collapsed as firefighters doused it with water, causing more panic. Several hours later, people were still searching the debris for loved ones. LEGAL Jury chosen in polygamist case BY MICHELLE ROBERTS Associated Press Court officials called 300 jurors to get 12 jurors and two alternates in tiny Schleicher County where everyone knows one another and media images of the sect's women wearing prairie-style dresses were impossible to avoid. The original pool included 17 residents of the Yearning For Zion Ranch, but none are on the jury panel for the trial of Raymond Jessop. ELDORADO, Texas - Eight men and four women were selected Wednesday for the jury that will decide the first criminal case stemming from the raid of a polygamist group's ranch in West Texas last year. The 38-year-old is accused of sexual assault of a child, a charge stemming from his alleged marriage to an underage girl in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a sect that believes polygamy brings glorification in heaven after death. Opening statements were scheduled to begin Wednesday afternoon. Prosecutors say that the girl, who gave birth at the ranch at of nine women married to Jessop, including three who were reassigned to him after his brother was excommunicated from the sect by jailed leader Warren leff Raymond Jessop is one of 12 FLDS men charged since authorities raided the ranch in April 2008 and swept 439 children into foster care. Defense attorneys sought to bar prosecutors from talking about polygamy during the trial, but Texas District Judge Barbara Walther refused to prevent them from discussing the so-called "spiritual" marriages between men and multiple women in the community. Jessop faces a bigamy charge, stemming from his alleged marriage to one of Jeffs' daughters, but will be tried on that indictment later. Jessop is one of 12 FLDS men charged since authorities raided the ranch in April 2008 and swept 439 children into foster care. The children were later returned to their parents after an appellate court intervened, but documents and DNA seized during the initial raid eventually resulted in criminal indictments. The charges range from failure to report child abuse to sexual assault and bigamy. "There was a deafening sound, and I was like a blind man for a few minutes," said Mohammad Usman, who was wounded in the shoulder. "I heard women and children crying and started to help others. There was the smell of human flesh in the air." All the men will be tried separately. The FLDS, a breakaway sect not recognized by the Mormon church, has historically been based along the Arizona-Utah line. Jeffs, already convicted in Utah as accomplice to rape, awaits trial on similar charges in Arizona before he can be tried for sexual assault of a child and bigamy in Texas. But church members bought a 1,700- acre ranch outside Eldorado about six years ago and began building log cabin-style homes and a four-story limestone temple visible from the highway through town. Mian Iftikhar Hussain, information minister of North West Frontier Province, said 100 people had died and more than 200 were wounded. Clinton was a few hours into her first visit to Pakistan as secretary of state when the bomb exploded. The Mormon church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, renounced polygamous practices more than a century ago. "I want you to know this fight is not Pakistan's alone," she said at a news conference that many Pakistani TV stations broadcast alongside images of burning buildings and wounded victims. "These extremists are committed to destroying what is dear to us as much as they are committed to destroying that which is dear to you and to all people. So this is our struggle as well." CRIME lowa City man charged with assault after broom fight Authorities said an argument between the two escalated into a fight, with the man pushing the woman and hitting her with a broom handle, causing minor cuts. IOWA CITY, Iowa — An Iowa City man has been charged with assault after getting into a broom fight with a woman. The Johnson County sheriff's office said that the fight began when a 54-year-old man was awakened early Tuesday by a woman cleaning the house. Investigators determined the man was the primary aggressor in the assault. He was charged with domestic abuse assault without intent, causing injury. The woman grabbed a broom to defend herself, striking the man on the head, causing a bump.

INTERNATIONAL Merkel sworn in for second term BERLIN — Angela Merkel was sworn in Wednesday for a second term as German chancellor and her new center-right government took up the task of tackling the country's tough economic situation a month after national elections. ASSOCIATED PRESS Merkel, 55, will serve as chancellor of a ruling coalition made up of her Christian Democratic Party, its Bavaria-only sister party the Christian Social Union, and the pro-business Free Democrats She was elected through a vote of 323 in favor out of a possible 612. "I respect those who do not want to vote for me," Merkel said in an interview with ARD public television. "That is part of democracy." But nine members of coalition parties voted against her, leading some to question the government's solidity hours after she and her 15 ministers were sworn in. In its sweeping agenda, the new coalition has promised an overhaul of the health care system, more help for families and annual tax cuts of up to $36 billion. But Merkel called into question whether the government would be able to come good on its pledges. "I cannot guarantee it down to the letter, as there are others involved who are not part of the coalition agreement," Merkel said. Germany's upper house of parliament, made up of representatives of its 16 states, must also sign off on any tax cuts. Hours after being sworn in, Merkel departed for Paris, where she is to have dinner with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, keeping up a postwar tradition of new German and French heads of government visiting the other upon taking office. In his address to the new government, Koehler called Merkel and her ministers to help give European integration a boost. "Germany should be one of the nations that actively contributes to moving Europe forward," the president said. From Paris, Merkel heads to Brussels to attend the European Union summit on Thursday and Friday, expected to focus on the bloc's future and the disputed treaty that Merkel championed during her first term in office. In 2005, Merkel became the first woman to be elected as Germany's head of government. During her first term, Merkel led a grand coalition of Germany's two main parties — her conservatives and the Social Democrats. She is the only German head of government to switch coalition partners between terms in office. On Tuesday she is to speak before the U.S. Congress, a week before she will give her first address to Germany's parliament. TECHNOLOGY iPhone look-alike could save Verizon, Motorola MOTOROLA http://www.google.co... Web browser found news search Google Google Search Asking location verizon The Motorola Droid mobile phone is Verizon Wireless' answer to the iPhone, Verizon and Motorola are both relying on the phone to restore them to prominence. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Verizon Wireless' answer to the iPhone — the Droid — will go on sale for $200 next week as the company taps into the growing appetite for smart phones that go far beyond making calls. The Droid could help Verizon retain its status as the nation's largest wireless carrier and contribute to a turnaround of its manufacturer. Motorola Inc., which hasn't produced a hit since the wildly popular Razr phone in 2005. The new device also could give a boost to Google Inc., which used the Droid to unveil new mapping software that could challenge standalone navigational devices, sending GPS gadget maker Garmin Ltd's stock plunging after Wednesday's announcement. Although the Droid won't be first challenger for the iPhone, which is available in the U.S. only to subscribers of AT&T Inc., Verizon has thrown its largest marketing campaign ever behind the new device with television commercials and other ads. Verizon has been pointing out the features Apple Inc.'s iPhone lacks, such as a physical keyboard and the ability to run several applications at once. Verizon is targeting 15- to 35-year-olds who are highly engaged with their gadgets for social networking, blogging and other online tasks. Social networking is integrated throughout the device. That means you can sync Facebook friends into your contacts and share photos on Picasa without having to go through separate applications. "Apple revolutionized the industry," and the smart phone industry needed time to collect itself and figure out its next move, John Stratton, Verizon's chief marketing officer, said at a launch event in New York. With the Droid, Verizon and Motorola are hoping to shatter any perception that the iPhone is the end-all of mobile devices. Verizon, the Droid's exclusive U.S. distributor, will start selling the phone Nov. 6 for $199.99 after a rebate, with a two-year contract. The price is comparable to the iPhone's basic model. With the Droid, Verizon is tapping into the frustrations some users have with the iPhone. Users have complained of dropped calls, while many software developers hate Apple's requirement that it approve all applications running on it ahead of time. The Droid runs on Google's Android operating system, an open platform that any developer can customize. The Droid is a sturdy, angular device, with a standard, "QWERTY" keyboard that slides out, though you can also pop up a virtual on-screen keyboard with tactile feedback so it bumps back a little when you tap out the keys. It has a five-megapixel camera — better than the iPhone — and a tiny flash, along with voice-activated search that brings up your contacts and location-based Google search results. Say "pizza" and nearby pizza restaurants will pop up. The Droid's display is slightly larger than the iPhone's, and its claimed talk time on a single battery charge is a bit longer — 6.4 hours, compared with the iPhone's five hours.

But don't expect Dolinsky and her four senior classmates to be too somber — it just wouldn't be their style. "We play so much better when we're having fun," senior Estelle Johnson said. Playing well and having fun has defined this class since they arrived as freshmen. All five— Dolinsky, Johnson, and their classmates Kim Boyer, Julie Hanley, and Shannon McCabe—were talented enough to play significantly in their first year, and since then they've become the core of the team. "It's been a very good group for us," coach Mark Francis said. "We knew they had that potential, and they all improved since they've been here." During their careers, the seniors have earned weekly and All-Big 12 honors, they've been recognized by national publications and their names sit near the top of multiple Kansas career statistics lists. But the seniors would rather reminisce about pre-game dances and botched hair dye jobs than discuse records and statistics. "We'll remember all the road trips and all the stupid dances and all the dumb things we always did," Hanley said. Adventures ranging from sharing dorm rooms as freshmen to a team trip to Brazil last year have helped to make the group inseparable. You now share a friendship that transcends just sports. "You can't really put our relationships into words," Dolinsky said. Hanley agreed. "I t sounds so stupid, and everyone says it, but they're like sisters," Hanley said. "I just don't think you get that everywhere at all the other programs." This year, the relationship shared by the five seniors has shaped the dynamic of the entire team. From the beginning of the season, the seniors focused on including every player regardless of playing time or class. Francis said that attitude has allowed the team's underclassmen to flourish "They've done a great job of integrating them in, and obviously those guys have contributed a lot," he said. "I think the seniors have had a lot to do with that." Junior Caitlin Noble said the tight-knit atmosphere set by the seniors has motivated the team all year. "Our team has the most team chemistry I've ever seen through out club or high school," she said. "We do what we do for each other, and they're huge role models."

Though the two teams are drawing comparisons, the 2008 team, Self said, was battle-tested and hungry from being upset the previous two years. In 2006, Kansas was the fourth seed in the NCAA Tournament and lost in the first round to Bradley. The next year, as a No.1 seed, the Jayhawks lost to the second-seeded UCLA Bruins in the Elite Eight. "This team is not ready to beat that team," he said. "It would not even be a contest as of today."

They are looking at a possible lineup of Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, Tyshawn Taylor, Marcus Morris and Xavier Henry — one senior, one junior, two sophomores and a freshman. The starting lineup of the 2008 team consisted of Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush. Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur — two seniors, two juniors and one sophomore. and some old guys. I think we just have a good mix." The main disparities between the two teams besides age, Self said, are the athleticism, size and depth. "I don't know if this team is quite as athletic and as fast," he said "but this team may be bigger. I think this team is probably deeper which doesn't always translate to positive things because obviously we can only play so many guys."

COMMENTARY BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Football known to flourish in obscurity Kansas has lost back-to-back games. Its defense, although not as porous as it was against Iowa State and Southern Miss, still yields too easily. Veterans are dropping on the depth chart, giving way to younger, less experienced players. The offense, once thought an unstoppable juggernaut, can't score at all early, or much thereafter. Todd Reesing hardly looks like a guy who, just weeks ago, was thought a dark horse Heisman candidate. Jake Sharp is still hurting, and so is the running game. At least the kicker is playing well. Kansas then faced South Florida early the following season, at which time both teams were ranked. Of course, Kansas blew a sizable lead, then fell just short with its comeback attempt. Kansas proceeded to recover and ascend the rankings, but then dropped back-to-back games — including a lopsided defeat at the hands of Texas Tech in Lawrence. On the verge of a good-but-not-great season, Kansas pulled out a classic victory against Missouri, then doubled-up Minnesota in the Insight Bowl. The Orange Bowl-winning squad, of course, rose from obscurity to pull off shocker after shocker. The nation waited for Kansas to falter, and only when the national spotlight began to burn brightest, against Missouri, did Kansas lose. Then the expectations vanished and the Jayhawks surprised Virginia Tech. This year began with reasonably high hopes, which have quickly dissipated. Expectations of a conference title, if there ever were any, are gone now. Even prospects of winning the Big 12 North look increasingly bleak. And a potential BCS bowl trip? That's funny. Kansas isn't even ranked anymore. It is completely and totally off the national radar. Amidst this litany of problems, the Jayhawks head to Lubbock, Texas. There, they will be tasked with shutting down one of the most prolific passing offenses in the nation on its home turf. Granted, Texas Tech looked entirely vulnerable against Texas A&M last week, but that's just all the more reason for Mike Leach to come out guns blazing. An ever-changing Jayhawk secondary will find itself in that imposing line of fire. There's no reason to believe it'll fare even remotely well. So Kansas' offense will, almost without a doubt, need to score in spades. Which, given recent events, doesn't seem as likely as it once did. Basically, this all boils down to one rather simple fact: There's no sound reason to expect that Kansas will win Saturday. Honestly, there's more evidence to suggest that the Jayhawks might get blown out. And, believe it or not, that's the good news. For the first time in a while, Kansas gets to return to the role of the underdog, where it's apparently much more comfortable. At least that appears to be the case, especially if previous years are any indication. And given the Jayhawks' performance thus far, that's precisely where they belong. But that's not a bad thing. It's in that state of anonymity they seem to play their best. - Edited by Sarah Kellv V --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 20, 2000 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2009 QUOTE OF THE DAY " (Bill) Brasky ranked 18th in the AP College Football Poll." — John Goodman, in a Saturday Night Live skit.

He also has received top AL pitcher honors by The Sporting News and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and a leading candidate for the Cv Young Award.

Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals received the honor as the National League's best pitcher. Associated Press MORNING BREW A showdown of 'Big' proportions In the least surprising news of the last two weeks, Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich were named to the preseason All-Big 12 basketball team. Joining them were four other first teamers who could have gone pro and been picked somewhere in the top 45 of last year's draft. The Big 12 looks to be, arguably, the best conference in the nation. The argument on that will come most raucously from the Big East, home of half of last year's Final Four and a consistent power on the national basis. Because obsolete sports debates are kind of my forte, a colleague at ESPN and I debated: Which preseason all-conference team, of the two best conferences in the nation this year, would win? Here's the position breakdown, including the sixth man. PG: Collins vs. Deonta Vaughn (Cincinnati) There's no question about this one. Vaughn, a senior, is a very good player, putting up more than 15 points and just shy of five assists a game last year for the Bearcats, and he'll be made even better by the arrival of freshman Lance Stephenson (yes, that Lance Stephenson) who was born ready — for what, I'm not sure. Problem is, I don't think Vaughn is even the best point in his conference (Kemba Walker of Connecticut gets my vote). M. WELSUNI Collins VINCENT DAVIS Advantage: Big 12. In a big way. Vaughn BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com SG: Willie Warren (Oklahoma) vs. Scottie Reynolds (Villanova) Reynolds was an essential part of Villanova's run to the Final Four last year. He epitomized clutch with his coast-to-coast layup with the clock winding down that sent 1970 Pitt home for the summer, and he's the kind of leader that coaches would kill for. Warren can score from absolutely anywhere on the floor. He averaged 14.7 points per game as a freshman, and showed incredible poise when he went bucket-for-bucket with Collins until the bitter end --- Warren in an 87-78 loss to the Jayhawks in Norman. Warren, though, was wracked with inconsistency. (Exhibit A: In his next game, Warren was held scoreless.) Reynolds Advantage: Big East,but barely. SF: Damion James (Texas) vs. Lazar Hayward [Marguette] Numberswise, this one is pretty even. James has a slight edge in rebounding (9.2 to 8.6), while Hayward has the slight edge in scoring. (16.1 to 15.4). Both have to deal with the loss of the top guards at their schools. But James reminds me a little of DeJuan Blair. He's only 6-feet-7, but he's got a wingspan of over seven feet, and he's incredibly strong in the paint. Blair, in case you've forgotten, was an All-American last year. Y James Advantage: Big 12, but barely. PF: Craig Brackins (Iowa State) vs. Luke Harangody (Notre Dame) Brackins is as prolific a scorer as the Big 12 has seen since Michael Beasley. His epic performance against the lajayhawks last year could have catapulted him into the first round of the NBA draft, but for whatever reason, he decided to return to school. Hayward Harangody, though, could wind up winning the Naismith Award as player of the year. He Brackins averaged 23 points and 12 boards last year, and is a beast in every game he plays. Brackins just can't compete with that type of dominance. Harangodv Advantage: Big East C: Aldrich vs. Greg Monroe (Georgetown) THE MORNING BREW ALEXANDER MAYER Monroe was probably the best freshman in America last year. Aldrich was the second best true center in America last year, behind Connecticut's Hasheem Thabeet. Thabeet's gone. That makes Aldrich the Aldrich A. best true center in America. That means Monroe is not. Lovely logic. Advantage: Big 12. Sixth Man: James Anderson (Oklahoma State) vs. Da'Sean Butler (West Virginia) I bumped Anderson and Butler to the sixth man spot on personal feelings alone. It's not to say they're unworthy of their spots in this lineup. Monroe Anderson averages one more point than Butler and they both average just shy of six boards a game. Anderson, though, is a little more versatile, logging time at both the two and the three. I'm giving him the nod based on that versatility. Advantage: Big BEST HOCKEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD Final tally? Big 12, 4-2. What does it win? Nothing. Not at least. Anderson PETER M.

The team is now entering the last game and holds few postseason hopes. This is a far cry from the beginning of the season when the team chanted its goal of "Big 12 Champs" after every practice. But the seniors aren't dwelling on what could have been. "You can sit here and say all the 'what its' and drive yourself crazy about it, and if you're not in the tournament it doesn't make any difference," said Hanley. Johnson emphasized the positives. are ready to end their careers and leave the team that has defined their college experience. "I'm sure I'll probably cry because it's been the past four years of my life," McCabe added. "And now that it's over, it's kind of like 'what now?'" "We're going to remember the times we had together, the crazy goals we scored and the relationships." "This is the best team I've ever been on at Kansas for sure," said Johnson. "We've had some great players here like Holly Gault and Afton Saurer, but I'd say, as a team, this is the best team I've ever played on. It just sucks that little things have cost us games." Boyer agrees. SHANNON MCCABE senior forward Whether the Jayhawks continue on to postseason or end up playing their last game this Friday, one thing is certain: None of the seniors "It'll hit me when we're all done and I don't have to come to practice and meetings and have it be a part of every day of my life." she said. Right now, the seniors post-graduation plans range from coaching to graduate school to professional soccer, but each said they would be sure keep in touch with each other. "When I look back on the whole experience, I'm not going to remember our record or anything like that," McCabe said. "We're going to remember the times we had together, the crazy goals we scored, and the relationships. That's really what it's about." Edited by Brenna M. T. Daldorph COMPARISON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Despite all the comparisons, the Jayhawk know a championship in 2010 is merely a goal and they have a lot of progress to make to reach it. Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor isn't ready to hang any banners just yet. It has been awhile since junior center Cole Aldrich tasted the victory of the 2008 national championship. But those memories are the ones that keep him striving for excellence. "I'm not saying that we are the best team in the country," Taylor said. "I'm not saying that we're going to be the national champions. I'm just saying if we come in here and we try to get better every year, I think we have all the right pieces that we could be a really elite team in college." "It feels like a real long time but at the same time it feels like it was almost yesterday." Aldrich said. "Just thinking about the season coming up reminds us of how last year ended and the hunger that we have for having another successful year." — Edited by Arthur Hur 785-841-5000 1445 W 23rd St OPEN LATE • FAST DELIVERY Mon-Wed: 11 a.m Thursday-Sat: 11-3:30 am, Sundays 11 a.m-3 a.m GUMBY'S Pizza Gumby's Solo Small 1-topping pizza OR Small Pokey Stix with Can of Soda $ 7.99 777 Deal Choose any 3 or more of the following for $7 each • large 1-item pizza • large Pokey Stix • Buffalo Wings Couch Potato • XL 1-item pizza • XL Pokey Stix • 10 Pepperoni Rolls Choose 1 for $12.99 2 for $19.99 3 for $27.99 Big Ass Gone Wild 20" Pizza or 20" Pokey Stix for $9.99 AVAILABLE NOW Mon-Thurs Spend $20 or more G receive a FREE Sml. order of Pokey Stix Mizzou leader remains optimistic BIG 12 FOOTBALL NELU JR. 10 MIZZOU 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, right, celebrates after stopping Nebraska running back Roy Helu Jr., left, Oct. 8, in Columbia. Weatherhead hasn't given up the idea that Missouri could win its third straight Big 12 North title. COLUMBIA, Mo. — Even the most loyal Missouri fan has probably written off the school's chances of winning a third straight Big 12 North championship. ASSOCIATED PRESS Senior linebacker Sean Weatherspoon has not given up the dream. He believes the turnaround is just around the corner now that the toughest stretch of the season is over. "He's trying to keep us positive and keep the spirits high," cornerback Kevin Rutland said. "He tells us that just because we lost three games, it's not over. We still have a chance to make a bowl game and get to the Big 12 championship game." Losses to No. 3 Texas, No. 16 Oklahoma State and Nebraska the past three weeks have saddled Missouri with an 0-3 conference record for the first time since 2002. The last five games all appear winnable, as long as players don't lose hope. Missouri (4-3, 0-3 Big 12) is a slight favorite to begin the climb out of the North cellar on Saturday at Colorado (2-5, 1-2). The rest of the schedule has no dominating teams with Baylor, surprising North leader Kansas State, Iowa State and Kansas a combined 18-11 overall and 5-8 in conference play. "With what's going on in the North right now it kind of motivates everybody," Weatherspoon said. "We know that there's a lot still out there. We've got five games left and we've just got to take care of business one game at a time." Weatherspoon would likely have to be a major factor in a turnaround. A star since his sophomore season, he leads the team in tackles for the third straight season. Weatherspoon was third in the Big 12 with 127 tackles in 2007. As a junior, he had 149 tackles while returning two interceptions for touchdowns to earn unanimous all-Big 12 honors, and this year he's fourth in the conference with 61 stops. That total includes 11 tackles in last week's 41-7 loss to No. 3 Texas. Weatherspoon had an interception in the blowout loss to Texas, a game that had the majority of a sellout homecoming crowd heading for the exits just after halftime. "It's an attitude. You have to go and get the ball, it not just going to happen," he said. "That's why they call it creating takeaways." Defensive coordinator Dave Steckel said Weatherspoon is the Tigers' undisputed leader on and off the field. "He does everything he says he's going to do," Steckel said. "He does a great job both being vocal and leading by example to educate and be a leader for our younger guys." The glaring problem for the defense in Steckel's first season as coordinator has been a lack of big plays. The Tigers replaced seven starters from a 10-4 team and are 10th in the conference in third-down defense and last in both takeaways and red zone defense. "I've had years where you have this," coach Gary Pinkel said. "All you can do is just keep working at it, working at it, working at it. We will persist and hopefully it will turn around." MLB Phillies dominate Yankees in Game 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Look out for Cliff Lee, Chase Utley and this New Red Machine. Lee outdueled CC Sabathia, Utley homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies kept rolling through October, beating the New York Yankees 6-1 on a misty Wednesday night in the World Series opener. The defending champion Phillies shut down Alex Rodriguez & Co. in the first Series game at the new billion-dollar Yankee Stadium. Trying to become the first NL team to repeat since Cincinnati in 1975-76, the Phils' 17-4 postseason run is the best in league history. Big Red Machine, meet your match. "We have confidence. We know we have a good team," Uiley said. Game 2 is Thursday night, with wily Pedro Martinez pitching for the Phillies against jumpy A.J. Burnett. Ryan Howard reprised his MVP performance, doubling twice and driving in the final run for the Phillies. Rodriguez, however, went hitless and struck out three times in his Series debut. Hardly looking like the 2-to-1 underdogs they are, the Phillies were in such control that many fans left before the final out. Lee blanked the Yankees until a run scored on shortstop Jimmy Rollins' throwing error in the ninth inning. Lee bamboozooled the Yankees with a spiked curveball, deceptive changeup and his usual pinpoint fastball, pitching a six-hitter while striking out 10 without a walk. The lefty improved to 3-0 with an 0.54 ERA this postseason. He really seemed to enjoy himself, too. If Lee felt any anxiety in his Series debut, facing the team that led the majors in wins, homers and runs, it didn't show. And if the Phillies were supposed to be intimidated of the pictures of Babe Ruth and all the Yankees greats on the giant videoboard, it didn't happen. "To be honest I really never have been nervous in the big leagues. This is what I wanted to do my whole life. This is what I take pride in. For me there is no reason, to be nervous," Lee said.

NFL Rams linebacker returns to practice ASSOCIATED PRESS The second-year player said Wednesday he did nothing wrong and plans to file a lawsuit over the matter. ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Rams linebacker David Vobora took the majority of snaps with the first string Wednesday in his first practice since a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. "The system is difficult because I made every move I possibly could to check on certain supplements, got it checked out a number of times through the NFL hotline, and they told me there was nothing that could possibly trigger positive tests," Vobora said. Vobora said he was informed of the pending suspension in July and dropped his appeal of the decision. Vobora accepted the penalty after sustaining a concussion against the Packers, which would have side lined him for a week anyway. Vobora said he's spoken to players who have used the same supplement without getting suspended. He said he would advise teammates that you can never be too careful. "If you call the hotline and say, I've got a broccoli supplement, they're going to say, 'Well, there's nothing in broccoli that would test positive, but you still take it at your own risk." Vobora became a starter after being the final pick of the 2008 draft. He thanked the Rams for supporting him after he explained the situation to coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney. During the suspension, Vobora said he worked out three times a day and watched the winless Rams' games on television. St. Louis plays at Detroit on Sunday. definitely a humbling experience. It was a few times when it was hard not to tear the TV off the wall." Spagnuolo said Vobora looked good his first day back. "It was the hardest thing I've ever gone through," Vobora said. "It was "He had some fresh legs," the coach said. "He did some kickoff stuff with the special teams and he was ahead of everybody." The Rams also signed long snapper Ryan Neill to replace Chris Massey, lost for the season with a knee injury in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Colts. Neill, who played for the Bills in 2007-08, prevailed in a four-player tryout Tuesday. He was cut in training camp and got the thumbs up from St. Louis punter Donnie Jones and kicker Brown. "When you're with somebody for 2 1/2 years and all of a sudden you've got to switch, of course it's going to be different," Jones said. "But things happen and you've got to adjust."

"The Year Before the Flood" documents the last year New Orleans and its thriving music scene were still fully intact before the city was nearly destroyed. "I was convinced I was seeing something imperiled,"Sublette, 58, said in a phone interview. "It was clear something would happen.

POLITICS Obama: It's time to lead Dear President Barack Obama, Things must be getting desperate at the White House. You are suffering the worst poll ratings drop in the last 50 years and you lack any accomplishments on which to hang your hat. As a result, you have resorted to lashing out at your political opponents. Your administration has openly declared war on anyone who disagrees with your policies — most recently, Fox News. Your Communications Director Anita Dunn, Senior Political Advisor David Axelrod and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel have all taken their swipes at Fox News When it was your turn, you said that the Fox News Channel is "operating basically as talk radio" rather than acting as a news outlet. But Fox News isn't all you and your team have systematically attempted to demonize. In recent weeks you have also targeted the Chamber of Commerce, the insurance industry, doctors, Rush Limbaugh and Wall Street executives to name a few. What is your goal? In the end, who wins? Even some Democrats on the hill are starting to get frustrated with your Chicago-style attack machine. Mr. President, your poll numbers aren't falling because of Fox News. Rush Limbaugh or a lack of likeability. Please get to work. You have a huge majority in the House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Now lead! Forget Fox News. Please, Mr. President, take off your politician-in-chief jacket for once and try on your commander-in-chief jacket. That is what the American people are yearning for. In these tough times, America wants a leader in the White House, not a politician. This is not an easy task. This requires taking responsibility (gasp!) THE RIGHT IDEA CHET COMPTON At a certain point, a president must own his presidency. Just last week, you told supporters in San Francisco that you were busy with a mop "cleaning up everybody else's mess." We know that drill all too well — "It's Bush's fault," right? With your approval numbers decreasing and your disapproval numbers on the rise, the American people are beginning to hold you responsible. It would be wise for you to do the same. very disturbing about going after Fox News harder than the Taliban. Last March, you handpicked General Stanley A. McChrystal to develop a strategy for winning in Afghanistan. He came to you two months ago with an urgent request for more troops. He bluntly told you that without more troops, the conflict "will likely result in failure." If you are not willing to make a decision because of potential political ramifications in this November's elections or if you are going to kowtow to far-left pacifists, then get our soldiers out of harm's way now. If you are willing to wear your commander-in-chief jacket and put the country before politics, send our troops in the field the backup they are waiting for. Its time to be a leader. That's the right idea. Excuse me, Mr. President. You have a call from-- Shut up, Sheila! Can't talk now... must clean up mess left by Bush... must clean... always dirty... Mr. President, there's something Obama's numerous remarks about "cleaning up" after the prior administration have started to cause concern in Washington.

When you travel or study abroad, you usually adapt to the local culture and social norms. It is important, however, to be smart and flexible when adjusting yourself to social cues. Failing to do this may lead to social embarrassment or even worse. NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Social cues misunderstood CULTURE In Asian societies, people seldom greet friends and relatives with much physical contact. Asians generally think of Westerners as being more socially passionate and enthusiastic as hugs and kissing are common greeting behaviors.

Some people even take advantage of others under the guise of cultural differences. I'm bad at saying no because' I don't want to turn down anyone and put that person in an awkward situation.

FASHION Piracy leaves a stain In the heart of Chinatown are little garages and shacks run by vendors selling postcards, "I heart NY" T-shirts and other cheap souvenirs. But the stacks of Chinese slippers and Hello Kitty toys are only three to hide closets full of knock-off designer hand bags, shoes and jewelry. When I was in high school I was desperate to own anything Louis Vuitton, Coach or Chanel, but could barely afford to dream about buying the real thing. After doing some research, I learned about the "deals" Canal Street had to offer. The shopping experience was glorious. I bought bags for $25 and $40 that elsewhere cost thousands. To me, this was the next best thing to owning couture. But to the fashion industry, I was aiding the design piracy business. Much like pirating music or movies, design piracy is the reproduction and distribution of apparel without any credit or compensation to the original designer. This is applicable to anything from gowns to luggage. When I was 15, I went to New York City for the first time since I was a little girl. I fell in love with the city's energy, people. History and most of all, shopping. But I never went into a single store on Fifth Avenue or any soHo boutique. I did all my shopping in back rooms and out of trunks on Canal Street. Unlike other art producing industries, fashion is not protected by copyright laws in America. However, in 2007 a bill was presented to charge that Passing the Design Piracy Prohibition Act will extend "copyright protection to fashion designs," according to "Fashion has always been about inspiration," states StopFashionPiracy.com, a Web site dedicated to raising fashion piracy awareness. "Designers are inspired by nature, by culture, by events, by other designers, but there is a difference between inspiration and plagiarism." THE HEMLINE ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO Some see clothing as the first clean pair of jeans and T-shirt they come across in the morning. But for the people, who after years of school and hard work, finally create something innovative enough to make them designers, each unique piece they compose is an original work of art. The people who sell reproductions of designers' works are stealing and destroying everything设计师s work for. France, Italy and other fashion capitals of the world enforce laws against design piracy, and it's time for America to support its branch of this billion-dollar industry. OpenCongress.org. I support the Design Piracy Prohibition Act because plagiarizing a fashion design is more than copying a product; it's stealing someone's unique creation, devaluing it and diminishing what it means to be a designer. Although I like the idea of making couture accessible to everyone, supporting fashion piracy diminishes the value of the couture I'd love to own. Esposito is a Overland Park sophomore in journalism and film. Unfortunately, as of the recent subcommittee hearing in May, the bill is still not passed. For high school graduation my cousin gave me a Coach hipster, my first real designer bag. Last summer I carried the purse around the New York City, but after seeing all the fakes, my bag seemed less special.

Carter also Has anyone noticed the number of foiled terrorist attacks in the news? I thought that this was all going to change with the presidential election of Barack Obama. The last two weeks there have been attacks, in this paper, on the conservative philosophy by students who have no idea how it works. So now it is my turn to point out the obvious. The liberal philosophy has said that all it takes to defeat terrorism is respect and understanding. It was the fault of the U.S. that international terrorism exists. They said Obama would "reset" the world stage and we would all gather and sing the "Coca-Cola Song" (ask your parents). If any of this were true, Osama bin Laden or any terrorist leader could just cancel any and all attacks.

"The West Wings" President Bartlett was most presidential when he struck back against terrorism like a conservative. For those who attacked conservatives in these pages, I would like to see a reasoned defense of liberalism, but I doubt you have the stomach for the fight. Clinton denied the requests from his general for tanks and troops to protect his forces. The tanks requested would have likely saved the lives of many of the 18 American soldiers killed in Mogadishu after a blackhawk helicopter was shot down. But those tanks were still sitting in the United States. Clinton ignored attacks on our embassies, naval vessels, military barracks and and fled Somalia afterward. Another liberal president, Bill Clinton, asked that Sudan send Bin Laden to Afghanistan where he would not be able to do any mischief until at least 2001.

"We've talked about it for the last couple of years and how close we DANIELLE MCCRAY Kansas guard Now that she's fully recovered, Goodrich provides a missing piece from a Kansas team that barely missed the NCAA Tournament last "Angel's the kind of point guard that hits you right when you're open," senior guard Sade Morris said. "You might not even know that you're open but she's going to hit you. And she's going to give you that perfect timing when you can just catch and shoot." "I really don't know to be honest. I just see it and... I really don't know. There are times that I've almost hit someone and they didn't know." Just don't ask Goodrich to explain how she does it. So begins the second go-around of Goodrich's highly anticipated debut in a Kansas uniform. After arriving on campus with plenty of hype, and after impressing at Late Night a year ago, Goodrich suffered a season-ending ACL injury before the start of last season. been from finishing eighth in the league to finishing fourth in the league," assistant coach Karen Lange said. "And it's always been a couple games where we lose by a couple points here and there. I think a good point guard gives you that." The book on Goodrich is rather simple. She's an ultra-talented playmaker who can createplenty of scoringopportunities for those around her. Even with Kansas' late-season success last year, much of the offensive workload rested with Morris and fellow senior Danielle McCray. And while the duo usually produced, the situation certainly wasn't the most effective situation for an offense to function in. "What happens is Angel's ability to create out of an offense is going to help Danielle and 'De,' Lange said. "I think it will help get them easier shots and they won't have to create one-on-one all the time." McCray, the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, returns to anchor an offense that connected on 46 percent of its field goals last season. But the Jayhawks struggled with turnovers, losing a handful of games simply because of an inability to take care of the ball. "It's great when you just have a point guard that gives you the ball whenever you need it and just makes plays," McCray said. "That's the thing about a good point guard: They make plays and make things happen." Coach Bonnie Henrickson walked into an impromptu press conference before last season with an unusually grim expression on her face. Henrickson revealed that Goodrich would miss the year because of her injury. It was a crushing blow for Henrickson and the Jayhawks, who spent much of the offseason praising Goodrich's ability. "It's the much-awaited and anticipated impact of her on the program," Henrickson said. "I think for her, every day there is more confidence, more of an attack mode and more aggressiveness." At Kansas' media day, Lange said that Goodrich is more prepared mentally and physically to handle the workload this season. But she also said that in terms of on-court improvements, "Angel was already pretty good." And there's little argument that she should help improve Kansas' offense. After all, life on the offensive end becomes a little easier with a play-making point guard. "If you watch any really good point guard, the game slows for them," Henrickson said. "They see things before things actually happen because they can see it developing. And she has that ability." COLLEGE FOOTBALL Carroll, Trojans know defense must improve 92 Edited by Tim Burgess ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Southern California's defense has been among the nation's most dominant, except in the second half of its last two games — and for coach Pete Carroll, that's not dominant enough. That formidable unit became ordinary after halftime against Notre Dame and Oregon State, leaving Carroll a bit concerned about his defense's finishing skills heading into the No. 4 Trojans' showdown with No.10 Oregon on Halloween night Southern California coach pete Carroll runs on to the field with his team before their game against Ohio State on Sept. 12 in Columbus, Ohio. USC and Oregon will meet this week in a pivotal P-10 game. USC has lost its past three games in the state of Oregon. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We know we have a good defense here, and we just need to play 60 minutes." whose quest for a seventh consecutive Pac-10 title would be all but ended by a loss to the Ducks (6-1, 4-0). ARMOND ARMSTEAD USC defensive tackle "We haven't done very well." Carroll said Tuesday. "We have been really susceptible to them throwing out the football. Being out ahead didn't help us any. We didn't play well with the lead when the teams threw the football a bunch." Indeed, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen and Oregon State's Sean Canfield excelled while attempting to lead comebacks against USC (6-1, 3-1 Pac-10). Carroll is well aware defenses are at a disadvantage when a trailing team abandons the run during a comeback attempt. He knows yardage can get chewed up during come-from-behind surges — but he still doesn't like it. showed that. "When the teams decided they needed to throw the football to win, they did very well, and I think a lot has to do with the quarterbacks," Carroll said. "The quarterbacks that we just played were fantastic." Oregon State followed up Notre Dame's 285-yard passing game with 329 yards last weekend in USC's 42-36 victory. The Trojans hadn't given up more than 237 yards all season before those comebacks, which also led to the most first downs and the two biggest total offensive games by USC's opponents this season. Carroll's players aren't worried about their second-half struggles. Linebacker Chris Galippo described the defense's mistakes against Oregon State as "rinky-dink things" that can easily be corrected before facing the Ducks.

We know we have a good defense here, and we just need to play 60 minutes.” Oregon's multifaceted offense is built around quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who doesn't much resemble Clausen or Canfield — two standout dropback passers with ample experience picking apart a defense.

Yet USC is traditionally outstanding in its biggest games, both on the road and at the Coliseum. During Carroll's tenure, the Trojans have lost more trap games against mediocre opponents than showdowns on the way to seven straight Pac-10 titles, although the coach can't explain exactly why. So Carroll is making sure his "The crowd is a factor when they are doing well," Carroll said. "When the other team is doing really well, the crowd goes nuts." defense focuses primarily on stopping the run against the Ducks, who will have the full backing of their frenzied fans and the possibility of a steady rain in Eugene on Saturday night.

They got a breather after a 25-point road victory against Michigan gave No.12 Penn State its fourth straight victory. While not a direct reward for defeating the Wolverines, the confident Nittany Lions (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) got a break Monday to rest up for the final four games of the regular season. "The funny thing is, this happens once a year, and every year the same thing happens — we don't know what to do. We don't know whether to relax, do extra work," Ogbu said Tuesday. Win out and the Nittany Lions likely will land another BCS bowl game. He ended up catching up on sleep after class. The break was brief — the stretch run starts Saturday with a trip to Northwestern, followed by a visit Nov. 7 from Ohio State. Not that any of the Nittany Lions say they are thinking about the annual grudge match with the Buckeyes. Paterno, head coach for a record 44 years, knows better than to look that far ahead. "Well, you bring up a scenario that I don't think it's going to be relevant," Paterno said after a reporter mentioned the Buckeyes. "We've got to play Northwestern. I haven't even thought about the game after that one." Penn State must avoid another slip-up to have any chance at winning a second straight Big Ten title. Their only loss came to unbeaten Iowa, so the Hawkeyes need to lose twice in their last four games for the Nittany Lions to get back in the Rose Bowl picture. Still, the team's confidence level is at a season high after overwhelming the Wolverines last week at the Big House. Penn State has won its last four games by an average of four touchdowns. 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2009 SPORTS 9B FOOTBALL 23 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Sophomore cornerback Ryan Murphy forces an incompletion during the first half.

At least early on. The Jayhawks and Red Raiders each posted 14 points in the first quarter and the day's shootout seemed fully underway. Instead, Texas Tech scored "We didn't rush them or cover them. It was a double-edged sword of negativity." the next seven touchdowns, dismantling Kansas 63-21 for all to see. It's a lesson — an embarrassment really — that both Kansas' players and coaches certainly remember. CLINT BOWEN Defensive coordinator "We had a lot of problems last year with them," defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said. "We didn't rush them or cover them. It was a double-edged sword of negativity." More than any game to this point in the season, Texas Tech presents the ultimate challenge for Kansas' rather inexperienced secondary that features two freshmen starters. The Red Raiders have played three quarterbacks this season, a problem coach Mike Leach has rarely had to deal with. But Texas Tech's production has hardly dipped. Leach's high-powered attack still ranks first nationally in passing yards, second in passes attempted and first in touchdown passes. “It's a quick-strike offense. In one play, points can be up on the board,” sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson said. “We found that out last year.” Yet the Jayhawks enter this season with fresh faces dotting the secondary: Freshman safety Lubbock Smith and cornerback D.J. Beshears started last week against Oklahoma while also playing heavily against Colorado two weeks ago. Patterson and some of the more seasoned Jayhawks attempted to verbalize the experience of defending Texas Tech's offense to some of the younger players this week. The message was rather simple. Every team in the Big 12 throws the ball at a high frequency. Texas Tech throws it even more than most. "We just said on first down you're going to see a lot more passes than you usually do" Patterson said. Much of the conversation surrounding Kansas' football team the past two weeks has revolved around the changes in the secondary. And rightfully so, as coach Mark Mangino and his staff decided to insert new starters midseason for the second consecutive year. Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter. com/jaysonjenks t But the switches also reveal an underlying problem that has plagued Kansas since Aqib Talib The Jayhawks simply don't possess a natural playmaker at the cornerback position. turned his sights on the NFL after the 2007 season. "In the past we had Aqib Talib who could mess everything up and return it 100 yards for a touchdown," Bowen said. "We don't have that right now." "We just said on first down you're going to see a lot more passes than you usually do." DAYMOND PATTERSON Sophomore cornerback When facing a team with a historically explosive offense, though, a popular question usually surfaces: Can a defense actually stop Texas Tech or are the Red Raiders a lock to amass large numbers in the passing game? At least outwardly, the Jayhawks ripped that idea to pieces. "I don't believe that they deserve to get their yards because they're Texas Tech and they've got that system," Bowen said. "I ain't buying into that. We've got to stop them. We can't give up yards." Still, Kansas secondary will be faced with the Big 12 most daunting test. Texas Tech has built a reputation as a team that generally picks defenses apart with a relentless pass attack. Certainly, after last season's debacle, the Jayhawks fully understand that "We will be tested this week," Mangino said. "This will be a good test for our defense on how to play the ball and how to compete one-on-one with guys." Edited by Tjm Burgess COLLEGE FOOTBALL Houston offense shows it can run ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON - Houston is a pass-heavy team. That isn't going to change. It's a performance coach Kevin Sumlin said creates a complete offense. It could make the nation's most potent attack even better heading into this weekend's game against Southern Mississippi. But when SMU slowed the Cougars' passing attack this weekend, Houston ran for a season-high 161 yards and scored three touchdowns in the victory. Beall is Houston's leading rusher with 505 yards. But the Cougars like to use two running backs, and Charles Sims was Saturday's star, rushing for a career-high 105 yards and two scores. "It just makes us that much harder to stop," running back Bryce Beall said. "Teams just can't sit back in coverage if they're worried about the run and the pass." Beall has learned a lot in his second year with the Cougars. His high school team ran the ball "almost every play," so he had to adjust to Houston's wide open Houston (6-1, 2-1 Conference USA) is in a four-way tie for the lead in the conference's West division. Southern Mississippi (5-3, 3-1) is tied with Marshall and East Carolina for the East division lead. Saturday was the first time all season the Cougars ran more times than they threw and Case Keenum finished with a season-low 233 yards passing after entering the game averaging 417. "When people take away the pass, we've got to be able to run the ball," he said. "They did a great job of doing that, especially this Saturday. It just shows another side of our offense. If we need to run the ball we can and we can be successful do it." The Cougars' improved running game will be tested against a Golden Eagles defense that held Tulane to 54 yards rushing last week and is 4-0 when holding teams under 100 yards. offense. He said playing for the Cougars has improved his catching and blocking skills, making him a complete running back. Sumlin said the increased production from his running backs is due in part to the work of second year offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. + 75 cents per pound ABE & JAKES PRESENTS HALLOWEEN 2009 TONIGHT $1 NIGHT FRIDAY 50 CENT DRAWS SATURDAY $2 BACARDI $2 BUD LIGHT DOORS OPEN AT 8PM FRI. & SAT.

Berger, 37, had his first practice Wednesday with the Denver Broncos since being signed this week as the sorts for the Canadian-born Berger, who starred at the University of Colorado in the early 1990s. "it's been a long time since I've been back in this area," Berrer "We just felt like... Mitch would give us an opportunity to improve in that area." second-year pro Brett Kern, who was waived. It was a homecoming of JOSH MCDANIELS Broncos coach Philadelphia steady their a long time since I've in this area." Berger said. "I loved being at Colorado and have good memories of that. It's been awhile since I've been there and I'm happy to be back." The Broncos are counting on Berger, who joined his 12th NFL team since being drafted by the Eagles in 1994, to punting game. He'll make his Broncos debut Sunday, when the Broncos (6-0) visit the Baltimore Ravens (3-3). Kern had the 10th-best punting average (46.1 yards) in the league, but struggled with his directional game. He put an NFL-high six of his 27 punts into the end zone for touchbacks, a no-fo for coach Josh McDaniels, who places a high premium on the battle for field position. The capper may have come Oct. 19 in Denver's 34-23 victory at San Diego, when he got off a long pint with little hang time that Darren Sproles returned 77 yards for a touchdown. "It certainly wasn't something where Brett was the only person that had made any mistakes or had done anything that we didn't like on the punt team," McDaniels said. "We just felt like, with some of the things we're asking our punter to do, that Mitch would give us an opportunity to improve in that area," he said. "We made the change and we're going to work hard to make sure that it's the right move." Berger, who won a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, was out of football until being signed Monday by the Broncos. CONGRATULATION!

Freeman will replace Josh Johnson in an attempt to improve the team's winless record. Buccaneers change starting quarterback BY FRED GOODALL Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — The winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers have changed starting quarterbacks again, with rookie Josh Freeman taking over the offense. Freeman was the 17th pick in the first round of this year's draft. He made his NFL debut last Sunday, in the fourth quarter of a 35-7 loss to the Patriots in London. “It's definitely something I've been working toward. It finally going to be great to get an opportunity to step out there and do something," the former Kansas State standout said Wednesday. "My mindset right now is to prepare the best I can and then go out and do what I do, which is play football and try to find a way to get a win." Coach Raheem Morris was noncommittal about his quarterback plans after Freeman completed two of four passes for 16 yards and was sacked twice for 16 yards in losses against New England. Morris officially made the change when the team practiced for the first time since returning from London. The Bucs (0-7) have a bye this week, meaning Freeman will have extra time to prepare for his first start Nov. 8 at home against Green Bay. Freeman replaces second-year pro Josh Johnson. Johnson, a fifthround draft pick in 2008, made four starts after former Jaguars and Falcons starter Byron Leftwich led the team the first three weeks of the season. A Friend Dies. Who Cares? Toxic drinking is an epidemic on campuses all across America. It means consuming so much alcohol the drinker passes out. But while "sleeping it off," the victim may be quietly dying. When you come right down to it,students themselves are the best ones to tackle this problem. So, in growing numbers Stony Brook students have joined together in the Red Watch Band movement. Working with experts, they fine-tuned a course in techniques to handle these alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band members can act fast, when every second counts. They know the quick steps they can take to rescue a passed-out student from a drinking death,and can immediately summon professional help.Everyone completing the course is given the distinctive red watch for identification. Since its inception at Stony Brook University in March 2009, approximately 40 schools across the country have signed on to implement this lifesaving program.

I always found myself identifying with the warrior Atreyu. I would jump around in excitement as he rode the luckdragon through the skies of Fantasia, sit tense and frightened as he fought Gmork, the evil wolf, and cry when his beloved horse drowned in the Swamp of Sadness. 1978 editor's note // When I was a kid, I had the tendency to get really attached to certain movies. I watched The Goodies so many times that my sister threw my copy away and told me the VCR ate it, and I continued watching The Monster Squad several times a week even after it started giving me nightmares. Watching movies helped fuel my imagination and sense of adventure, and after watching I would often go outside and reenact them with myself in the lead role. So last year when I saw that The Neverending Story was showing at Liberty Hall for Midnight Movie Madness, I got more than a little excited. I hadn't seen it in more than 10 years, and I was interested to see if I would still love the film the way I did as a child. Though I didn't have the privacy of my parents' living room to run and jump around during Atreyu's action scenes, the hilarious banter from the crowd — especially during the now-ceepy dialogue between Atreyu and the luckdragon — made watching the movie just as enjoyable as it was back then. As an adult, I was able to understand the more mature themes in the film, such as the dangers of apathy and the loss of imagination. And, to my surprise, I still remembered a lot of the dialogue. Sure, the special effects looked really cheesy and Atreyu came off as a melodramatic teenager, but I appreciated the fact that as a child these things didn't matter to me. Read Jake's story on page 4 about how Midnight Movie Madness got its start at Liberty Hall, and how it offers a movie-watching experience that can't be found at many other venues. Even if the event can't give you the chance to revisit part of your childhood, it's still an opportunity to take in great cult films in a way you couldn't otherwise. tuesday, nov. 3rd // SEAN ROSNER, EDITOR EVERGREEN TERRACE / FOR THE FALLEN DREAM / ASK- ING ALEXANDRIA / UNHOLY The Granada, 7 p.m. $12-$14, all ages SCOTT TICHENOR & BILL CRAHAN Signs of Life, 8 p.m., free, all ages WHITE DENIM / BRAZOS / HOSPITAL SHIPS The Jacket Music Hall. 10 p.m. $B-$10, 1B+ ** TUESDAY NITE SWING Kansas Union, 8 p.m., free, all ages LOLLIPOP FACTORY The Replay Lounge, 10 p.m. $2-$3. 21+ $ wednesday,nov.4th NEWT GINGRICH Dole Institute of Politics. 7:30 p.m., free, all ages POKER PUB The Pool Room, 7 p.m. & 10 p.m., free, 21+ THE AMERICANA MUSIC ACADEMY JAM Signs of Life, 7:30 p.m. free, all ages DOLLAR BOWING Royal Crest Bowling Lanes, 9 p.m., $1, all ages EMILIE AUTUMN The Granada, 8 p.m., $15, all ages AIRKEOE: AIR GUITAR MEETS KARAOKE The Jackpot Music Hall, 10 p.m. $2-$3, 18+ ACOUSTIC OPEN JAM The Jazzzah, 10 p.m. $2, 21+ SUPER FRESH SOUNDS WITH CYRUS D Harbour Lights, 10 p.m. $2, 21+ EDITOR // Sean Rosner **ASSOCIATE EDITOR** // Alex Garrison **DESIGNERS** // Laura Fisk, Liz Schulte **CONTACT** // Mia Iverson, Hailey Osthaus **HEALTH** // Kirsten Hudson, Amy Johnson **MANUAL** // Francesca Chambers, Patrick De Oliveira, Andrea Olsen **NOTICE** // Hannah DeClerk, Kelci Shipley, Valerie Skubal **PLAY** // Sarah Bluvas, Zach Getz, Jake Lerman CONTRIBUTORS// Mike Anderson, Taylor Brown, Amber Jackson, Chelsea Johnson, KJHK music staff, Sasha Lund, Landon McDonald, Abby Olcese, Brett Phillippe, Nicolas Roesler, Amanda Sorell CREATIVE CONSULTANT // Carol Holstead CONTACT US // jayplay09@gmail.com JAYPLAY (785) 864-4810 The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd Lawrence, KS 66045 FOLLOW JAYPLAY ON TWITTER AT twitter.com/JayplayMagazine 简报标题：J.X. 二〇一三年十月二十八日 3 10 29 09 △ PLAY SCREAMING at the Dawn // JAKE LERMAN HOW LIBERTY HALL'S MIDNIGHT MOVIE MADNESS BECAME A MONTHLY HAPPENING. A trip to the movie theater is usually an exercise in taciturnity. Every motion is executed with calculated finesse. From deadening the sound of sneakers peeling off a syrupy floor, to the art of delicately muffling the crunchies and slurps of concessions in attempts to avoid spoiling suspense. In the dark of the theater we all do our best to behave like mice. But once a month Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., invites you to cast off the meek attitude and go mad. Midnight Movie Madness is the brainchild of Lawrence residents Malcolm Miller and Jeremiah Johnson, the creators and self-proclaimed "grand pubahs" of Midnight Movie Madness. The monthly event celebrates beloved (cult) films that rarely grace the big screen after their original cinema debuts. Since Midnight Movie Madness' inception in 2007, Miller and Johnson have shown 19 films, and the screenings have become eagerly awaited events for movie-minded Lawrencians. But it's more than the films that keep the audiences coming in by the droves. At each showing, enthusiasts adorn themselves in the garb of the iconic characters they are going to see. Depending on the film, costumes can get outrageous. At a showing of The Big Lebowski in June, there were more than a handful of bathrobeclad moviegoers waiting in a seemingly endless line for White Russians. The energy of the crowd rarely wares off come show time. There are often complaints of noise during the screening but with a name like Midnight Movie Madness, the hosts expect nothing less. The noise hasn't deterred anyone from turning up, though; in fact, it's probably attracted more people. Last Saturday, in the spirit of Halloween, Miller and Johnson chose to screen the hilariously terrifying Evil Dead II. The claymation gore was repeatedly punctuated by bursts of wild laughter and witty taglines shouted from the audience. Some patrons thought enough of the movie to arrive in full regalia, most notably a pair of bloody chainsaw-clad moviegoers in the guise of the film's hero, Ash Williams. For Miller and Johnson, Midnight Movie Madness is more than a chance to turn a profit. In fact, the pair pay out of pocket for the theater's rental fee and say they haven't done much better than break even on most showings. "We're not in it for the money, but without it we couldn't do what we do," Miller says. They have taken to selling T-shirts advertising the event, which has helped the duo make enough money to keep putting it on. But it's not enough to let them quit their day jobs. During the daylight hours, Johnson is a mild-mannered projectionist at the theater, which suits him fine seeing as he has an admitted obsession with films. This infatuation began when he first saw the movie Aliens as an 8-year-old. The film sparked his passion and led him to start counting all the movies he saw. He says he lost count at 1,500, but since then, his enthusiasm for film hasn't waned. Miller cuts hair at Amyx Barbershop, 842 1/2 Massachusetts St., and is often recognized by his unmistakable haircut, which is best matched in cinema by Danny Zuko from Grease. Although he doesn't work at Liberty Hall, his fascination for movies made him just the person Johnson needed to turn his fantasy into a reality. THE MASKED MAN It was Liberty Hall video clerk Nesta Wilson who first united the dynamic duo. Wilson, a long time friend of Miller, overheard the two Photo by Jake Lerman 'Dead' devotees: Movie-lovers, including Malcolm Miller, one of the event's coordinators (middle), dress up for Midnight Movie Madness, a monthly event showing of cult films such as Evil Dead 2. independently yearning for a place to see all the old movies they loved. From there it was only a matter of time before they made the connection and found the funds for the first screening. Regardless of the pair's ambition, Midnight Movie Madness couldn't exist without Rob Fitzgerald. As manager of Liberty Hall, he was the gatekeeper for Miller and Johnson. The idea to have monthly midnight showings had come up before but he'd dismissed the notion, fearing lack of interest. But when approached by the pair, he decided to let them rent it out, and even helped them by making it a bit more affordable. When asked what he thought about the event now that it's really hit its stride, Fitzgerald replied, "I wish I'd done it earlier — I'm kicking myself now." For a town deep in the heart of the Midwest, it's events such as Midnight Movie Madness that set Lawrence apart. All it took was two guys with a passion for films and a truckload of ambition to give us all another reason to stop worrying and just go mad, even if only for one night.

She planned to have a few shots and a couple beers, and call it a night. Her real party, when she planned to conquer 21 shots, was the following night. But almost everything after her 4 p.m. arrival at the bar is a blur for Stanley, Olathe junior. She knows her roommate drove her home and that she vomited, but she only knows this through stories from friends. Needless to say, her second party did not occur the following day. Stanley was too hungover. She thought she had avoided all the pitfalls of novice binge drinking, but as it turns out, conventional wisdom is dead wrong about the properties of alcohol. The worst drink choices for your 21st birthday, when you are still what Tama Sawyer, director of KU Medical Center's Poison Control Center, calls a "naive" drinker, are water, carbonated cocktails and diluted shots. Your body does not absorb hard alcohol as easily as other types of beverages. The average 120-pound female could be lethally drunk after three hours and eight shots, and the average 170-pound male could die after 10, Sawyer says. At 21 shots, the blood alcohol content level for either sex would be in a zone Sawyer labels as "incompatible with life." "This has to be the craziest thing anyone would want to do," she says. If you still plan to drink 21 shots, make sure you eat a lot of sugary foods, allow yourself to vomit if you need to and above all, do not let yourself pass out, she says. Alcohol makes it more difficult for oxygen to reach our brain, and we naturally breathe less deeply when asleep. The two combined can result in death. // FRANCESCA CHAMBERS BREWERS BAR Photo illustration by Francesca Chambers Too much: 21 shots on your 21st birthday is "the craziest thing anyone would want to do." says Tama Sawyer, director of KU Med's Poison Control Center. in the life of ... // A WRITING CENTER ADVISER living vicariously through others is ok with us.

The first thing she does is look for the thesis statement, which she says is the first hurdle in writing a paper. Her goal is to point people in the right direction, and make them better writers for the future. Writing advice may be the main part of the job description, but learning how to deal with people is just as important. Patience is crucial when working at the writing center. McMurray must gauge the students' reactions, deciding how familiar she should act with them. It's also hard to know when to talk and when to listen, depending on the individual student's needs. McMurray says the job is fun and rewarding, but dealing with stressed and emotional students can be mentally draining. While some students are confident and just want a few suggestions, others aren't quite as prepared. And the most frustrating thing is when students put off a paper until the last minute, McMurray says. She suggests giving yourself a few days to work. "Don't come in 30 minutes before the paper is due," McMurray says. "We can't wave a magic wand and finish it for you." // ANDREA OLSEN Photo by Andrea Olsen The write stuff.

I'm sitting in Local Burger chewing my elk burger and washing it down with organic wine while I think of the day ahead of me. It's the Friday of fall break, and I am trying to go out in Lawrence for 24 hours straight. I've spent many long nights out and have had many allnighters, but I want to push the limits of my body and see if I can go out for a whole day straight. I finish the burger. Very little flavor, but it definitely tastes healthy. The wine is good, though. I sit at a window seat to get a good view of outside while I finish my wine. I'm a little self-conscience because I am wearing a grey hoody and a beanie. I don't look the type to be sipping wine at noon at a burger joint. I get over it quickly. It's now very cloudy, threatening to rain. Funny because it was sunny at 11:59 a.m. The moment I start my little experiment the clouds roll in. I take it as a bad omen and an overcome with fear that this day will suck. I continue anyway. 12:30 P.M. ARIZONA TRADING CO. 736 MASSACHUSETTS ST. I've been wanting a vintage-style coat, so I try my luck at Arizona Trading Co. I'm quickly taken with a brown corduroy peacoat with lining like a crappy 1970s couch. It's a good price, too — $17.50. I sift the store's collection of T-shirts but find nothing I like, so I go back to the jacket and model it again in the mirror. Still unsure, I ask some girls who are shopping. They say it doesn't accentuate my ass. I decide my ass doesn't need accentuating and buy the coat anyway. 1:05 P.M., SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART, 1:011 MISSISIPPIST. It's still early and there's not much to do, so I go to take a gander at some of the exhibits at the Spencer. I walk in to see the Graphic Imperative exhibit in the central court, which is displaying propaganda-like posters. The exhibit has posters about rape, war, religion and the Holocaust. I find it a little disturbing that they've set up a place where children can draw their own propaganda posters. One child draws a 'no' symbol around what looks like a penis, but maybe it's just a hot dog. I quickly turn away from whatever it is and move on. 2:03 P.M., NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 1345 JAYHAWK BLVD. I used to walk past Dyche Hall all the time never knowing there was a museum inside. Though the museum is small, it has a few interesting things; dinosaur bones found in Kansas come to mind. I'm crushed to discover that my favorite exhibit — one that shows the inside of a beehive — is closed because all the bees died of nosema apis, some sort of horrible bee parasite. I make my way through the museum and have a stare-down with a rattlesnake. Luckily the snake is behind glass. 2:53 P.M., SOUTH PARK, 11TH AND MASSACHUSETTS STREETS Needling to burn a little time before my girlfriend, Laura, gets off work, I head to South Park. I get some entertainment from a few gothy high school kids playing with a pink sombrero in the gazebo while I sit and read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five to past the time. 3:56 P.M., THE REPLAY LOUNGE, 946 MASSACHUSETTS ST. Getting cold, I start walking to find a coffee shop. I get detoured on the way when I remember the Replay has free pinball going on. I duck inside and grab a can of PBR and play Indiana Jones and Ripley's Believe it or Not pinball. It's been a while since I've last played, and I've forgotten how great it is to properly navigate a multi-ball, when five balls start coming at you at once. I leave after what seems like 15 games. 5:03 P.M., LA PARRILLA, 814 MASSACHUSETTS ST. I pick up Laura and we go to La Parrilla to get some grub. I get the enchilada ranchera and Laura gets the enchilada suiza. Mine is good but hers has some sort of white sauce and is much better. The grass is always greener with me, though. We also order a pitcher of lime margaritas that never seems to end. We have a window seat and relax and people watch while we drink. 6:56 P.M., THE WHEEL, 507 W. 14TH ST. Laura and I try to rock out Jaybowl, the bowling alley on campus, but it's closed for the break. Lame. I also toy with the idea of a tattoo, but Laura puts her foot down. We go to The Wheel instead to try and catch Late Night in the Phog on TV. We walk in and it's old people galore. With students gone for fall break and a class reunion of 1985 or something going on, it's wall-to-wall old guys trying to relive their youth. There are only two women other than my girlfriend there, making me wonder where all these guys' wives are. We each order a way-too-expensive can of beer, and to my dismay. The Wheel is airing baseball. We finish our beers and get the hell out of there. 7:47 P.M., HENRY'S ON EIGHTH, 11 E. EIGHTH ST. We go to Henry's to grab a drink and hopefully some coffee later on. I order a double whiskey and diet and Laura gets a double vodka and cranberry. Drinks are too strong and almost painful to take sips from. We sit by the window again while nursing our drinks. I love being a voyeur from the comfort of indoors. We finish our drinks and I buy a coffee to-go because I can tell it's going to be a long night. 9:27 P.M., I-BAR, 945 MASSACHUSETTS ST. The plan is to see Cowboy Indian Bear, one of my favorite local bands, at the Jackpot. Because it's still a little early, we head next door to I-Bar. I've never been here before, but it is pretty nice. We are the only customers in the bar, but it may be closing for the night soon. I order a couple of bottles of Boulevard Wheat and the bartender doesn't take my tip. I offer again and he refuses. I find it a little strange but I don't argue. We walk toward the plush leather couches in the back, and I spill beer all over myself as I plop down way too hard. I have an inebriated laugh at myself while Laura rolls her eyes. 10:32 P.M., JACKPOT MUSIC HALL, 943 MASSACHUSETTS ST. Yes! A crowd. I easily see more people here then I have all night. It's a nice change. I grab a couple of "whatever's cheapest" from the bar and relax on a bench up front. I see Marty Hillard and Beau Bruns of Cowboy Indian Bear and give them a quick, "Hey, how's it going?" I try to convince Marty to let me introduce the band on stage, but he would have none of that. Cowboy Indian Bear comes on and plays their usual good set of poppy music. They have a guest singer on a few songs, which is a nice addition. Around the time the band comes on I decide to cut myself off. When I need to lean against a speaker to keep my balance, I figure it's time to stop. I still have 12 hours to go, and I've been drunk-texting random people. Cell phones should have breathalyzers. 0 Jabbering at the Jackpot: Jayplay writer Zach Getz (left) chats with Marty Hillard of local band Cowboy Indian Bear.

Tired of drinking and knowing last call is on its way anyway, we stop by Hookah House. The interior is as smoky as ever and there is a decent amount of people there. I plop onto a modified couch cushion on the floor and order strawberry-kiwi shisha. I knew a few people, but keep my distance in order to prevent any embarrassing drunken moments. We smoke hookah and drink large quantities of water to help hydrate, but we need a quick late-night snack. 2:40 A.M., JIMMY JOHN'S, 922 MASSACHUSETTS ST. We smell very smoky now with smoke soaking into our hair and clothes. We head to Jimmy John's because it's about the only thing open. I order a turkey and provolone. I've never been there before, and not to sound like an advertisement, but they are freaky fast. I have my sandwich before I get my change. We sit down to devour our sandwiches. I reach in my pocket and find a strange hat. How the hell did that get in there? The brown, beige and orange striped hat matches perfectly with my new jacket, and I switch hats without thinking the hat could be infected with lice. 3:23 A.M., JAVA BREAK, 17 E. SEVENTH ST. Java Break is empty. I get biscuits and gravy and a chai latte and we claim the graffiti room as our own. I grab a few games and get my ass kicked in Battleship, yet I reclaim a little of my manhood while playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. After the food and drink, we lie around talking half-asleep bullshit, until a balding man of about 350 pounds comes in and sits next to us. He has the entire place to choose a seat, why does he sit next to us at 4:30 in the morning? I don't want to find out; we leave quickly. 4:44 A.M., MUNCHER'S BAKERY, 925 IOWA ST. We get to Muncher's and my energy is at an all-time low. The place is deserted, but it's nice to have some silence. We each get a cream cheese donut and work on a crossword puzzle together. Other than softly speaking answers to the puzzle, we don't say a word to each other. I feel bad for dragging Laura on this expedition. We almost finish the crossword puzzle, but I can tell Laura wants to go home, so we leave. 5:32 A.M., GO HOME I'm not doing well at all. I've had too much caffeine and it's catching up with me. Or maybe it's just the strange mixture of foods and drinks I've been consuming all night. Either way, my stomach is cramping up big time. I decide I need to finish the experiment early. I lie down, but can't sleep. I am way too jittery and can't keep still. Finally around 6:30 a.m., I nod off. 7:51 A.M., AWAKEN I wake up to a text message from the photographer assigned to capture evidence of this madness. After peeling my face from my pillow, I try to focus my eyes and read the message. I sloppily reply that I failed and I'm not going to be able to finish my mission. I drop my phone and my face slams back to the mattress. I shut my eyes for a few seconds, then realize I need to try to finish the day. Still in my clothes from last night, I put my contacts back in and head out the door.

NAVA BREAK CHAI LATTE BISCUITS AND GRAVY It's pleasantly sunny, although still a little cold. I walk downtown and take a rest in the Japanese Friendship Garden. With about 90 minutes of sleep in me, I'm still not 100-percent recovered from the incidents of last night. I'm still jittery and my stomach is killing me. I review my notes and see what I've done so far. Sometime about 10:30 p.m., my notes become mostly illegible, yet they snap back into legibility at about 3 a.m. I look at my watch and see I need to survive for just four more hours.

To my surprise most of the vendors are gone, and the ones who are there have very limited supplies of stuff I don't want, such as gourds and honey. I toy with the idea of emu meat, but decide against it. I grab a cup of spiced cider, take one last quick look and leave.

I get to Jet Lag just as the doors are opening. First customer in the bar, lucky me. I sit down and order a Bloody Mary. I figure it may settle my stomach a bit, but yikes, way too spicy. It tastes like I am sucking on a pepper shaker. I request ESPN so I can catch Gameday, but they forget to put the sound on. Bummer. I leave half my pepper and vodka drink behind as I walk out the door. It's not worth the burning lips. 1960 The last leg: After 21 hours of hangin' around Lawrence, Getz is a little, well, humgove. He attempts to alleviate his aisls with a Bloody Mary at the Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St. 9:58 A.M. WATSON PARK, SEVENTH AND KENTUCKY STREETS My stomach is cramping up again. My now- 22-hour festival of food and drink is catching up with me. I go to the park to get some air but it's not helping. My head is spinning and I feel like I'm going to faint. I sit on a bench and hold my head between my legs while taking deep breaths. Finally my stomach can't take it anymore. I fall off the bench to my knees and throw up a rainbow of colors that have been collecting in my stomach for the last 24 hours. Red, yellow, green, purple. It's all there. I know it's time to quit. The rest of Saturday is ruined for me. I can hardly eat or drink anything including bread and water. I lie on the couch all day clutching my stomach, feeling as though I could faint at any moment. LOOKING BACK All-nighters are nothing new to me, but the fact that I was out-and-about for an entire day and constantly eating, drinking and expending energy took its toll on me. I've definitely had better nights on the town, but it was an interesting experiment to see how long I could last on the Lawrence scene.

Q: Lately I've found that my sexual desire is not the same. I still have erections but I find that I cannot maintain them as long as I've had in the past. It is not that I don't find my girlfriend attractive and sexy; I just have a tougher time getting in the mood. A: Any good sexual expert will tell you that the most powerful sexual organ in the human body is the brain. This is the reason why stress is the No. 1 killer of a libido. Stress can be a major hindrance to great sex. The more stressed and tense you are the less you are going to enjoy sex. The problem you speak of is a surprisingly common one. Try to identify what has been causing you stress lately and then deal with those issues. Besides making an effort to reduce your stress, try slowing down your sex and changing your sexual scenery. For guys, tension in the muscles that accompany stress is a major component to premature ejaculation and balky erections. Slowing down your sex will help you relieve the tension. It will also help you focus on your deep breathing. Deep breathing will relax the entire body and is an extremely helpful tool to avoiding premature ejaculation and maintain an erection. If you are worried about the performance of your penis, the best sex is slow sex. I'd also look into changing your sexual scenery so that you are not reminded of all the stresses of your life. Dr. Marty Klein, a relationship expert I often refer to, recommends that couples check themselves into a hotel room every now and again for some of the best sex of their lives. The reason for this, according to Klein, is that hotels don't remind you of the past or future and have no associations. Therefore the everyday stress that you might feel could evaporate. Getaways are very relaxing and sex almost always feels hotter in a hotel room. Try using this time in the hotel room to really build erotic anticipation. If you have the funds, taking a vacation can really jump start your libido. If you don't have the funds then take a day trip to a nearby destination and stay the night. Wineries, hiking/biking trails and bed and breakfast establishments are just a day ride away from us. I'm sure at the moment a lot of you might be saying that a change in sexual scenery is only a temporary solution, and when someone returns home he or she will run into the same challenges once again. But I believe jump starting your libido can create confidence and momentum that can be carried over to your own bedroom. When you return, make an effort to reduce as much stress in your life as you can. Let your partner know what is stressing you. Perhaps he or she can help. Stress can have many negative effects on your body, and your sex drive is near the top of the list. // MIKE ANDERSON Have a sex or relationship question? Send it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com.

When you get a text in the car, class or at work, do you answer it? Does your parent, teacher or boss give angry when you do? Text Blocker allows you, your parents and your employers to control the places you can use your cell phone. For $9.99 per month, it can be set up so you are unable to use your phone while driving, in class or any other designated area. Parents can prevent their kids from texting while driving. Employers can program company phones to prevent use at work or while driving. Using GPS tracking, Txt Blocker knows where you are and limits your cell phone activity while saving all of your messages for when you get out of the designated area. The program works on all BlackBerries and Windows mobile phones, but not all phones. Other cell phones will be added based on consumer demand. Developed by United Efficiency Inc., in central Florida, Txt Blocker is the company's solution to dangerous cell phone use. According to Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, 37 percent of drivers admit to texting while driving, which is also the leading cause of distraction and accidents on the roads. Though she says she texts while driving, Lauren Timmons, San Antonio, Texas senior, says she'll pull over to finish a text message but she doesn't want anyone controlling her cell phone use.

Double-checking to see if there was anything left behind, he discovered a box that had been hidden there more than 50 years ago. Schoenfelder and his roommates sat for hours digging through the box, which contained items dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s including hundreds of love letters, musical concert fliers from various events across the country, bank statements and a copy of a Lawrence Journal-World. Schoenfelder discovered the box belonged to Emil Schumann, a former owner of the house. Schumann and his family moved into the house in 1919, when he was in his early 20s. He kept the house in his family until 1977. The streets that make up a core section of where students live today — Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc. — were built on in the 1850s. Many of these houses were present during William Quantril's famous raid of Lawrence, and eight areas on Tennessee Street alone are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But students often disregard the historic value of the centurv-old houses they live in. The Watkins Community Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St., contains archives of the history of Lawrence. Curator Helen Krische is concerned that students don't appreciate their homes. She says students and landlords don't take an interest in the history of their homes and therefore neglect them. "It's a shame to see them deteriorate," Krische says. On the National Register of Historic Places is a house at 923 Tennessee St., which is still used as a rental property. Known as the Benedict House, it was one of the first Lawrence homes with a stick architectural style, characterized by exposed beams and trusses. Jamie Ferris, Shawnee senior, lived in the house last year. The home was split up the middle to accommodate renters, modifying its original state. Ferris lived on the side that her landlord believed to be the original servant's quarters, evidenced by the steep staircase and the servant's bedroom converted to the bathroom. Ferris could tell it wasn't as nice as the other side of the house, which her landlord assumed to be the owner's quarters. Ferris enjoyed knowing that her home had some history. "It wasn't a typical college apartment. It was cool to be a part of something that was that substantial for Lawrence," Ferris says. Though many students live in historic homes, it's rare that someone makes a find like Schoenfelder did. Rita Napier, associate professor of history, values unexpected discoveries such as this. She says they tell the story of what was important to the owner and reflect the values of the time. The houses themselves can also lend a snapshot of the artistic tastes and lifestyles, though Napier has concern for the care of the homes. "Historic memory is built into the houses. Students might be excited about that but (the homes) aren't being taken care of as they should," Napier says. Schoenfelder knew that his house was old, but PARKS HOME Photo by Alex Bonham-Carter Historic housing: When Josh Schoenfelder, 2008 graduate, moved out of this house in July, he found a box of artifacts dating back to the early 1900s, including love letters and bank statements. The items belonged to a former owner of the house, who moved there in 1919. Photo by Alex Bonham-Carter finding the box of items put it into perspective. The age of the house appealed to him and his roommates — along with the location for tailgate parties — and finding the box was a great moment for them. "It was icing on the cake before we moved out. We all loved that house and we appreciated the history and the good times we had there," Schoenfelder says. In Schoenfelder's eyes, he and his roommates didn't erase the history at 1146 Ohio; they added to it. "I don't think people should stop having parties and enjoying their houses," he says. "I just think they should appreciate it more." Jp Open your eyes to the history that Lawrence has to offer. Here's a list of a few of the many sites and where to find them. THE BELL HOUSE; 1008 Ohio St. Built in 1863 and owned by Captain George and Annie Bell and damaged by Quantril's Raid in August 1863. George Bell was killed during the raid defending his family. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for the historical event and for the house's architecture. THE MILLER HOUSE: 1111 W. 19th St. Built in 1858 and owned by Robert H. Miller, who reportedly used the home during the Civil War as a hideout for the Underground Railroad. The house was added to the NRHP in 1984 for the significance of the person and the architecture. THE JOHN N. ROBERTS HOUSE 1307 Massachusetts St. Built in 1894, the house is now known as the Castle Tea Room, it hosts tea parties and various gatherings. The building was added in 1974 to the NRHP for its architecture and engineering. THE USHER HOUSE: 1425 Tennessee St. Built in 1872 and owned by John Palmer Usher, the Secretary of the Interior during Abraham Lincoln's presidency and former mayor of Lawrence. Converted into Beta Theta Pi Fraternity in 1912. Added to the NRHP in 1975 for the historic person who lived there and the Italianate architecture. 13 10 29 09 PHOGgy DOG HALLOWEEN PARTY SATURDAY OCTOBER 31ST $200 COSTUME CONTEST NO COVER CHEAP DRINKS PONG TOURNAMENT EVERY THURSDAY OVER $200 CASH PRIZES KANSAS BEER PONG ASSOCIATION 23rd & Iowa √ REVIEW movie review // 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY' Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. Don't believe the hype. Paranormal Activity is a shifty little thriller that would have you believe suspense without pay-off is the only trick the horror genre has left. But the film ends up being a casualty of its own inspired marketing, which promised audiences the scariest movie since The Exorcist and further enticed them with a genuinely terrifying trailer that seemed to back up this wild claim. But as it turns out, that grainy, handheld footage of the trailer was nothing more than a glorified highlight reel. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. Even the admittedly intense ending, which provides the only real scares in the entire film, is completely spoiled in the preview's final seconds. The movie explores the increasingly strained marriage of yuppie newlyweds Micah (Micah Sloat) and Katie (Katie Featherston). After enduring several nights of grotesque nightmares and disembodied moaning coming from the attic, Katie becomes convinced that a demonic presence has invaded their home. Hoping to ease his wife's hysteria, Micah sets up recording equipment in the couple's bedroom to document any supernatural phenomena. Katie protests, saying the interference will only enrage the spirit. She's right of course, and each night's haunting seems more unsettling and aggressive than the last. Unfortunately, these unsettling and aggressive occurrences mostly consist of doors suddenly slamming, chandeliers swaying slightly and lots of creepy shadows. Not exactly my definition of heart-stopping entertainment. Yes, it's great that Paranormal Activity, which was made two years ago for the micro-budget of $11,000, manages to do so much with so little. But, even though the claustrophobic atmosphere, mounting tension and effortlessly naturalistic performances seem masterful at first, the effect wears off fast when the viewer finally realizes that nothing frightening is actually going to happen. Monotony is the kiss of death for a movie such as this. If you want minimalist horror done right, I'd point you to The Blair Witch Project, Cannibal Holocaust and the original, 1963 version of The Haunting. ✩✩// LANDON MCDONALD music review // BASSNECTAR — 'COZZA FRENZY' KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. (CHILD'S PLAY) Churning out his first release in two years, Bassnectar steps back onto the scene and musically asserts that he's one of the best in the game. For those who are unfamiliar, Bassnectar is roughly categorized as hip-hop-tinged electronica. More than anything, his music is loud and crammed with as much energy as possible. For example, he kicks off the title track with electro arpeggios before laying down a headknocking hip hop drum pattern. Following that we launch into the "Mega-Bass Remix," which is a slightly darker, drum-and-bass-infused reprise. Just when you've got this album pinned down as a double shot of espresso in your day, Bassnectar throws in some chilled-out, ambient vocals into the mix as he does on the remix of Mr. Projectile's "Love Here." This album, and all of Bassnectar's music, is about surprises. The flaw of this record, as with his past projects, is the caliber of the featured rappers. Which is to say, fairly low. Just imagine if artists such as Dizzee Rascal, The Cool Kids, or Roots Manuva linked up with this guy. Bottom line, this album isn't for everyone. but fans of electronic music, jumping around or the way bass makes the pennies in your change cup rattle will be in heaven.

The 2006 death of their grandfather showed Sarah how much her brothers are there to support her when she needs them. Contributed photo As the bugler played "Taps," I stood in front of my grandfather's casket, trembling. My knees felt as if they would give at any moment. Just before I thought I couldn't stand up straight any longer, my two older brothers each grabbed an arm and held me steady. The horn player finished his sad melody, and, as we paid our last respects to our mother's father, all three of us turned around and walked away from the cemetery, together. I am fortunate in that I grew up the youngest of three and the only girl in my family. While many of my friends may have wanted an older sister to look up to, I was content with Matt and Andy, who are nine and six years older than I am, respectively. My childhood was filled with comic books and video games, action films and adventures and the constant reminder that "if you want to hang with the boys, you have to act like one of the boys." The things they loved became the things I loved, too. Andy taught me to live and breathe Metallica. Matt introduced me to late-night cartoons on Cartoon Network. And they both slipped me alcohol at football tailgates and Fourth of July celebrations when I was underage. Together, we navigated creeks behind our house in Georgia and beat the top levels in Perfect Dark. Our family moved around a lot when we were young because of our dad's job, so we formed a wall to the outside world that few people could break down. Despite our close bond, though, my relationship with my brothers is anything but perfect. Like most siblings, we fight, and we used to fight a lot. When I was about 11 and Andy was 17, we got into a screaming match about something pointless, and it ended with me spitting in his face and him pouring a giant glass of water all over my bed. Matt got so mad at me when I was a high school junior that he decided not to talk to me for a month. I caved after about a week and taped an apology note on his bedroom door. We also have different interests and different goals for the future. Matt and Andy are both engineers. I study journalism, English and art history. Andy is already married and a father. Matt and I are a bit less traditional and probably won't settle down for years. In reality, the three of us sort of leave each other to our own defenses. Andy and his wife Erin spent the last year living in Germany, and I only talked to my brother on the phone three times while he was gone. Matt and I barely call, too, except for a drunken text message every now and then. The three of us lead completely separate lives, and, at times, it seems like we would be just fine without each other. My grandfather's funeral in October 2006, though, was one of the rare instances in which Matt, Andy and I relied on each other for support. After the viewing the night before the funeral, my brothers and I went to Piccolo's, a favorite Omaha restaurant that we often ate at with Grandpa. Sitting in the disco-ball-lit room, we reminisced about our grandfather a bit, but avoided the real issue at hand: his death meant that our family dynamic would change drastically. Who would be responsible for our grandmother? And, more importantly, how would our mom cope with her dearly loved father's death? However, when the waitress came to take our orders, a feeling of comfort returned. She turned to each of us and received the same order: chicken parmesan with French fries, pasta and salad. And then Andy looked up at her and said, "One more thing. When you bring the chicken parmesan out, can you leave it in the little tins you cook it in? We like all of the extra cheese and sauce." Something as simple as the three of us ordering the exact same meal made me realize that maybe things haven't changed so much, or, at least, maybe everything would turn out all right. I had the same feeling the following morning when we stood, arms locked, in Evergreen Cemetery. True, as the years have gone by, Matt Andy and I have grown apart. As our lives head in three different directions, though, we've reached a mutual understanding. If one of us ever truly needs support, the other two will be there, grabbing an arm and holding the other steady.

Walck explained that celebrating Halloween had changed from trick or treating as a kid to dressing up for the spirit of the celebrations. Holiday traditions consistently change BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com "They thought it was ungodly and thought it would taint us somehow," said Karleskint, Fort Scott freshman. "I couldn't stay for school when they were doing the Halloween festivities." To avoid the trick-or-treaters, the Karleskint family would always turn off their front porch light Halloween night. As a child, Molly Karleskint didn't celebrate Halloween. Her parents wouldn't allow it. Karleskint, whose parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, didn't partake in Halloween activities until she was a high school junior. "Whenever I would leave the house, my parents would always give me a talking to," she said. "They would say, 'Do you know what you're doing is a sin?'" Karleskint is just one University student who wasn't allowed to celebrate Halloween because of the stigmas associated with the holiday. Now, she said she still isn't crazy about the "night people use as an excuse to chase ghosts out of town." "It evolves into something else as you grow up," she said.

Follow Justin LeverettX at twitter.com/ schmendric. It was pouring rain when Brad and Janet's car broke down and left them stranded in the woods. The frightened fiancés were forced to take shelter in a nearby mansion. They tentatively approached the ominous house. As Janet opened the door, around 230 voices suddenly screamed the word "Slut!" and cheered. They were the lead characters of the cult film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," which played at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union last night. The voices were those of audience members, many of whom were dressed in drag. A few wore black leather, red lipstick and fishnet stockings. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has become a participatory ritual throughout most of America, with showings occurring weekly in New York and Los Angeles and yearly, usually around Halloween, in most other towns. Students have yelled, danced and enjoyed the general insanity associated with the film for nearly 35 years. Kristian Bucy, Kalispell, Mont., graduate student, said the racy material of the film gave it a remarkable staying power. "No matter how experienced you are, not just sexually, but in life, it will always shock you," she said. The film revolves around a newly engaged couple's encounter with a rock-and-roll transvestite scientist named Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who sweeps them up into a promiscuous sex-fueled gothic dance party. During the film's multiple dance numbers, including "Dammit Janet" and "Time Warp," audience members sang and danced "... it's about sex. Just sex for an hour and a half, which is great at any age."

This field, known as positive psychology, could be the difference between a moderately enjoyable life and a truly satisfying life, according to John Wade, psychologist for Counseling and Psychological Service at the University. Wade held a positive psychology workshop yesterday to explore the topic in depth. He said the basic principles of positive psychology could apply to people of any age, especially students. t "I think college is a time when we're develop new habits," he Follow Megan Heacock at twitter.com/ meheacock. Wade said the purpose of positive psychology was to explore the factors that lead to successful, meaningful and happy lives. Wade said counselors and researchers tended to focus on alleviating the negative aspects of one's life. While this was important, and often led to general acceptance of one's situation, it did not always result in full happiness. said. "We're intentionally thinking about what we have to do and how we'll live our lives." During the workshop, Wade asked participants to imagine their lives in 10 years with all their goals met. He called this the "miracle question," because it's hardly ever asked but it has a strong positive effect on those who participate. Those who attended the workshop agreed. "Being happy isn't just the absence of negative stuff" he said. Geri Lamer, a Lawrence resident who was present for the workshop, participated in the exercise. She said she was surprised by how encouraging it was. "And that's where one field of psychologists now intentionally study the factors which help people to experience meaning and satisfaction in their lives."

John Wade, Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Services gives a presentation on positive psychology Thursday morning at JRP Hall. This new field of psychology focuses on helping people be more productive and happy in the workplace. - Recognize negative thoughts and challenge them. Ryan Waqqoner/KANSAN 100 Source: John Wade, psychologist for Counseling and Psychological Service positive," she said. Wade said happiness consisted of three components: genetics, actions and circumstances. Genetics alone accounted for 50 percent of people's happiness. Wade described this as the good and bad news of it — that there was a biological range of happiness. People's actions account for a third of happiness, though people tend to forget this. Wade said people often focused on circumstances, or everything that happens to them, as the determinant of happiness. A study in 1994 by Sonja Lyubormirsky found that happy people and unhappy people tended to have very similar life experiences. The difference comes from how they respond to those experiences. index "Unhappy people tend to ruminate about what isn't working in their lives — what they're missing or what they're wanting," Wade said. "While happy people tend to focus on what is working, what is making their lives go better."

At least two Columbus city council members have heard the complaint. An aide to Councilwoman Charleta Tavares said she has received more than 20 calls. Councilman Andrew Ginther said if police are making the comments, they're neither acceptable nor appropriate, though he said he believes most officers want to be helpful.

But before September 2008, they performed all their part-time stand-up shows in Chicago alone. Since they combined their acts into one entity - the Brown Man Group - and began touring campuses nationwide, however, both their success and fun at work, Ali said, has skyrocketed. "It's easier to come up with material, to bounce ideas off each other," Ali said. "When you all look up from each other and learn from each other, it's a great sense of accomplishment." The three have performed past shows with NBC, Comedy Central and HBO, but they will come to Lawrence together for the first time this Saturday at 6 p.m. for a Halloween performance in Woodruff auditorium. The South Asian Student Association, which teamed up with the Asian American Student Union and the Pakistani Student Association to host the event, paid $6,000 to make it free and open to all students, Shivani Karia, SASA president said. "We thought this would be a great way to begin Halloween weekend," Karia said. Ali said the college crowd is the trio's favorite to entertain because they like to perform for their peers. Mohammed Ali, the group's manager, said the students who attend the show this Saturday will be first live audience to see it. He said the different approaches of the comedians should give their content a broad appeal. Ali has more intellectual, smart humor, he said, and Venkat takes a more brash, in-yourface approach. He said Minhaj was unique from both of his partners because of his enthusiasm and energy on the stage. "Each comedian has a very different type of routine," Mohammed Ali said. Asif Ali said that after each member of the group takes the stage, the three will then come back out together for a final, more improvisational stretch of the show. He said this part was usually the most popular of each performance. "it's like a band," Asif Ali said. "We all work better together. The energy will be a lot better, and the audience will be able to feel it." Asif Ali said involving the audience has been something he has incorporated more and more into his material since he started sharing the microphone with Venkat and Minhaj two years ago. He said the relationships he has built with both of his two group members has improved his job the way a more healthy environment would help in any line of work. Asif Ali said the great senses of humor they all share is what keeps their bond particularly close. "I think we've gotten a lot closer over these shows," Asif Ali said. "We stay in touch pretty often and we hang out a lot when we can." "We're all really good friends," Asif Ali said. "I think we all will be friends until we make a lot of money and kill each other," he added with a laugh.

"I'm always surprised to see some of the costumes; they have definitely changed." This year, Bedora said the First Christian Church is hosting an event they call Trunk of Treats. On Halloween night, members of the church decorate the trunks of their cars and hand out candy to the children who come to trick-or-treat at their trunks. Julie Boyle, Communications Director of USD 497, said some of the 15 elementary schools in the district do have Halloween celebrations, but others choose to have more of an autumn harvest celebrations instead. "There are no district rules on how to celebrate Halloween," she said. "It's very much a school-by-school decision." She said sometimes on Friday afternoon some of the schools allow students to wear costumes to class and the PTO might host an evening activity for students. "Usually the parents will meet and decide what to do," Boyle said. "When my son was in elementary school, I remember they made apple cider and did other autumn activities." Kelli Huslig, Administrator of Veritas Christian School, 256 N Michigan St. said they leave the celebration of Halloween to individual families. "We have children here from various religious beliefs." Huslig become a huge adult holiday with elaborate parties, expensive costumes, and formerly makeshift parades becoming highly organized civic events." "The holiday has lost its innocence." She said she would describe this change as a "theft from children." said. "The school doesn't involve it in our curriculum and we have no opinion about it one way or the other." ELLEN FELDMAN Writer Ellen Feldman, novelist and social history writer, researched and wrote a history of the ghoulish holiday for American Heritage in 2001. "The holiday has lost its innocence," said Feldman, noting the transformation it has gone through even since the beginning of the new millennium. "Halloween has According to the NRF, Halloween is also the largest overall consumer holiday. People are expected to spend almost $4.75 billion on this single holiday this year. Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, expects 18-24 year-olds to spend an average of $68.56 for costumes and decorations. The NRF's 2009 Halloween Consumer "Halloween seems to me a reflection of our current culture," Feldman said. "It is thoroughly consumerist, no longer fit for children, and infantilizing of adults." Margaret Walck, St. Louis junior, has celebrated Halloween with her family since she was a child. She said she and her mom used to decorate the outside of their house for Halloween every year, and views Halloween as a consumerist holiday as opposed to associating it with pagan practices. Walck said her family has a favorite Halloween decoration, a "little ghost man" named Joey. "He even talks;" she said. She said her family has been celebrating Halloween for nearly her entire life, and she'd never thought about it any other way. "Why let it ruin something fun?" she asked of the stigmas generally associated with religious beliefs. Karleskint, however, said the main reason she didn't like Halloween was for its pagan background. She said the candy and costume aspects of Halloween were fine, but objected to other means of celebration. "Halloween gives people the license to use ouija boards and tarot cards," she said. A HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN, ABRIDGED Edited by Megan Morriss Halloween began more than 2,000 years ago in Ireland, Northern France and the United Kingdom as a Celtic celebration of the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. Their new year was Nov. 1, the first day of winter. The night before, which they called "Samhain" and is currently our Hallowen night, the Celts believed the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead were opened. To celebrate, they performed different types of rituals, such as crop burning. These traditions went on, untouched, for many years before the influence of organized religion had any effect on their practices. After the Romans took control of Celtic lands, the traditions of both cultures meshed together. Christianity began to spread throughout Europe in the 800s A.D., combining Christian traditions with the ancient holiday. After this, it became known as All Hallows Eve and even later on, Halloween. Pope Boniface IV was extremely influential in the Christianization of the night of the dead. He took a role in directing the focus of Halloween from a celebration of the dead, to a more acceptable, church-friendly holiday. The evolution of these traditions continued and later took many forms, including the commercialized Halloween practiced in the U.S. today and also the popular Mexican tradition, Day of the Dead.

He said one of the misconceptions about positive psychology was the idea of trivializing negative events. "When events happen, were going to have those feelings." he said. "But what research in positive psychology indicates are the things which help us to cope well with negative events as we struggle through them." Sheryl Lang, another participant of the workshop found positive psychology to be very reassuring. "It makes people become better," she said. "It's enlightening." Wade said the important aspect of positive psychology to take to heart was that happiness was a possibility. "If we're looking to change, the starting point of any change is awareness," he said.

The film was based off of a stage musical from England called "The Rocky Horror Show," said Matt Jacobson, associate professor of film and video studies. The stage show premiered in America in 1974, and was made into a movie in 1975, but because the movie was so off-beat, it was a box office failure. Mechele Leon, associate professor and artistic director of the University Theatre, first experienced the film at the Greenwich Theater when she lived in New York in 1981. She said the chaotic experience gave people a feeling of release, particularly around Halloween. Every student who attended was given a bag of props associated with major plot points on-screen. Viewers throw rice, for example, during Brad and Janet's wedding at the beginning of the film. "Rocky Horror is about subversive identities, you know, the monster and the transvestite," she said. "Just face it, it's a great way for people who have never appeared on stage to get up and perform." SUA provided each audience member with a bag containing various props, including squirt guns, gloves and toast. SUA also ran a trivia contest, a dance-off and a costume contest. — Edited by Lauren Cunningam Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Evan Stoskopf, Leawood senior, and Laurie Winkel, Topeka freshman, participate in the costume contest at the Rocky Horror Picture Show Thursday.

Kate Beaver CRIME Celebrity homes robbed A BY THOMAS WATKINS Associated Press A video still from a surveillance camera provided by the Los Angeles Police Department shows three suspects attempting to enter the Hollywood Hills home of actress Lindsay Lohan in August 2009. ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — For a group of Hollywood-obsessed teens, entertainment news on the Internet offered more than a glimpse into the lives of stars. It helped them break into celebrities' homes. The teens tracked the movements of stars such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and broke into their houses, making off with millions of dollars in stolen possessions in a spree that lasted almost a year. With a few clicks on the Internet, police say, the suspects developed a wish list of designer clothes and jewelry, then raided the homes while celebrities were away. Police last week arrested four young women and two men on suspicion of burglarizing 10 hornes in the Hollywood Hills. In addition to Lohan and Hilton, other victims included "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green, Ashley Tisdale and Rachel Bilson. "They thought it was fun, kind of an adrenaline rush," Los Angeles police officer Brett Goodkin said. "They would go in and steal the celebrity's clothes and possessions, things they could never afford on their own." Police said the teens scoured celebrity blogs and Web sites,looking for valuables, and then used the Internet to find where the stars lived. After watching a home, they would break into poorly protected Items stolen "run the gamut of high-end designer clothing," Goodkin said. "You could pick a designer, and they would be among what was taken." Police displayed an evidence photograph Wednesday depicting approximately $2 million in stolen jewelry that was recovered and returned to Hilton. The thieves snatched dozens of items of flashy, gem-encrusted jewelry, then made off with it in the socialite's Luis Vuitton bag. properties through doors, windows and, in one case, a doggy door. The burglaries lasted from October 2008 until September. An attorney representing some of the victims said the crimes highlight the growing risks faced by celebrities in a world of unending "You cannot on a weekly basis publish pictures of the back entrance to someone's house and do stories on their collection of cars and jewelry without increasing that person's vulnerability to theft and harm," Berk said. "It's a celebrity envy thing." media attention. Publicists for Lohan and Bloom did not immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment. Patridge's publicist declined to comment. "It's the new sociopath generation of '1 really like those Chanel boots.' Instead of going out and buying them, they just steal them." Paris Hilton retrieved stolen belongings, including most of her missing jewelry, from police, but did not get everything she lost, her publicist said. You start the day on fire with ideas.

EDITORIAL BOARD A satirical look at what Halloween has become Why should Halloween be the only "sexy" holiday? Halloween, it can be argued, is a holiday we outgrow at about the age of 13. Of course, if that were true, we would never reach an age when women could wear risqué costumes such as the sexy surgeon or the sexy veterinarian. For much of the fairer sex, Halloween is little more than an excuse to dress a little furrier. For much of the other sex, it's an excuse to dress like an ass. And really, is there a problem with that? So please don't), while Sears sells a lacey and leathery "Devil Grrrl" for the pre-teen set. So if Halloween is a holiday of deep feminist expressionism, then shouldn't the younger generation be able to join in? Plenty of costume stores are willing to help achieve this goal. If anyone is insane enough to think this still hasn't gone too far already, be happy you live in America, where (one day a year) we have the freedom to take sexual liberation to the edge, push uncomfortably past all that is decent and head straight into sexual holiday absurdity. By selling sexy costumes for dogs KANSAN'S OPINION An online store will happily sell a costume to 8 year olds called the "Convict Cutie" (use your imagination ... or maybe don't, actually. the Web site Consumerist.com displays a series of costumes such as the "Naughty French Maid" and the "Sexy Queen Bee" designed specially for canines. As if dressing up animals wasn't already an affront to some long forgotten god, Don't worry if you think you'll be left out, the series comes with matching human costumes, so both dog and owner can later share in the feeling of shame and regret. Is there perhaps a reason that once a year we as Americans jump at the chance to wear sexy Border Patrol and Finding Nemo costumes? (Yes, they really do exist.) Maybe we're all just sexually repressed by a culture that happily consumes violent media of every kind and then flips out over a nipple being flashed during the Super Bowl. And if this hypothesis were true, it would mean only one thing: We need more sexual holidays, not fewer. We could have sexy Thanksgiving, sexy Presidents Day or show some real common sense with sexy Labor Day. At this rate, every day of the year can be a day of sexual release and our culture wouldn't have to be so puritanical every second of the year. Of course, at least one day of the year would be needed as a day of rest and seclusion from all this sexual freedom, maybe a cold day in winter when most of the population is fed up with romance. Does Feb. 14 sound good? — Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board ARG! WHAT'RE YOU FOR HALLOWEEN? Mambelh I'M A KINKY NURSE! I'M A DOMINATRIX! I'M A LUSTY GEISHA! I'M AN INDIAN! THAT'S RACIST! NICHOLAS SAMBALUK EDUCATION Sending the right message Although the standards don't directly affect current students — we're already in, after all — raising admission standards could boost the University's prestige over time, something that's beneficial to students past, present and future. In August, Gov. Mark Parkinson urged state universities in Kansas to pursue a greater degree of excellence. What has come out of that speech and is now the topic of discussion is the idea of raising admission standards at state universities, especially the University of Kansas. I spoke with three American government classes — two standard classes and one Advanced Placement class — and while there were supporters and opponents in all classes, an interesting contrast emerged afterward when I was comparing the classes' opinions. A Like my fellow columnist Tyler Holmes, whose article on education ran Oct. 22, I also visited my high school during fall break. I returned to speak with seniors about their opinions of possible changes to admission standards. Although this was my first instinct, an experience I had over fall break caused me to wrestle with whether raising standards is actually the right thing to do. HAWK LIFE JONATHAN SHORMAN This isn't very surprising. After all, it's only logical to expect that students in regular classes would be more likely to be challenged by a raise in the standards. But multiple students in the regular classes also raised the issue of affordability, theorizing that a more admission restrictive university would have fewer students, generate less money and this would result in an increase in the cost to attend. majority of AP students supported raising the admission standards, while students in regular classes largely opposed the idea. Regardless of whether that claim holds any merit, it suggests an anxiety over whether higher standards would hurt students from lower income backgrounds. It's an anxiety that shouldn't be ignored. Yes, standards should be raised, but the Board of Regents should be extra careful not to limit the opportunities of potential students whose income status may have contributed to poor work in high school, yet they still possess the ability to do well in college. A good compromise would be to only raise the standards at the University of Kansas while keeping other schools as they are. If the Regents elect to take a harder line and raise standards at all universities, the legislature should pursue steps to strengthen the various community colleges around the state. Kansas lawmakers must send the message that any standards change is not meant to cut off access to higher education. While the fact that 20 percent of freshmen at the University drop out in their first semester is unacceptable, so is the idea that a student's aspirations of higher education should end just because he or she fell one point short of the necessary ACT score. If state officials and the Regents can send that message, then raising the standards should be supported.

MEDIA The news we'll never forget Welcome to the National Museum of Extremely Important Media Stories. I'll be your tour guide today. This section of the museum is reserved for our recent additions. Here we see talk show host David Letterman apologizing to his wife and network for his sexual encounters with former employees. Fortunately, for those of you who missed it, you can still read about his wife's reaction in any news outlet's top stories for the next month. When you press this button, you can hear Kanye West interrupt Taylor Swift's award acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. We needed a lot of airtime for this story, and thankfully our pals at all the major networks were able to help us out. We haven't quite finished the next room. It's serving as storage for all of the Michael Jackson documentaries that aired this summer, which reminds me, I need to watch all of those TiVo hours of Jackson specials so I can get into the pop culture loop. If you'll excuse me, I'm getting a little nostalgic. It still amazes me how important these stories were in 2009, and I've yet to factor in the Balloon Boo hoax. Did I see some of you look disgusted when I said these stories were important? Well, what would you rather see covered on the news, the "War on Terror"? Please. Everyone knows that Afghanistan and Iraq are symbols from a previous era. There isn't anything new going on over there besides death. And who wants to hear about that? Unless, of course, the death in question is that of a pop singer. The economy? Yeah, yeah. It's bad, but what can I do about it? I'm just one little citizen in a THAT GUY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE Do you have a question, sir? You're saying that these are issues my generation needs to address? Well, it's not my fault. I can't control what the television news presents to me. If CNN wants to report on Balloon Boy, that's what I, as the viewer, have to watch. Health care? I'm 21. I won't even be thinking about health care until I'm at least 70 or 80. Even then sounds a little too soon. Why do I care about what the proposed plan is? That is something my parents and grandparents need to worry about, not me. So what if the San Jose Mercury News found that one out of every three adults ages 18-29 have no health insurance? country of millions. Never mind that the national unemployment rate hovers close to 10 percent—its highest since the Great Depression. Next year, after I graduate from college, I'll be fine. But you're saying that doesn't matter? You're saying I should be proactive in my search for relevant news? That maybe I have a responsibility to inform myself on the important issues of the day? Well, fine. You can think that. Have fun reading about your boring health care plan. In the meantime, I'm going to go watch "The Insider." Boultinghouse is a sophomore in journalism and history. THE HEMLINE ALEX ESPOSITO WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Halloween costume advice While shopping for a Halloween costume this year, I constantly caught myself thinking, "That would be so easy to make. Why would you spend money on this?" There are so many simple costumes that most of us have components of, or could easily find at Goodwill or one of Lawrence's many thrift stores. This Halloween, don't waste money on an expensive costume you'll only wear a few times. Instead, go to a costume store for ideas, think of what you already own and what you can get cheap and make your own costume. Stand out by wearing your unique Halloween creation and avoid being one of five French maids at the party. Alex Esposito is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and film. QUEERLY SPEAKING LAUREN BORNSTEIN Do pick out a costume that flatters your figure or hides the parts you don't want seen. Don't assume because a girl is wearing one of those "sexy costumes" that she wants you to make a move. Costume stores don't exactly offer girls costumes like they used to when we were kids. It might be the coolest thing ever if you're a guy to offer a girl your jacket because chances are her costume isn't keeping her warm at all. On that note, please choose a costume that will keep your naughty bits covered should you get a little too intoxicated and make a fool of yourself. At least keep your physical dignity if you can't keep your mental dignity. Lauren Bornstein is a Lawrence senior in sociology and women's studies.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly. Marc Kingston, Leawood senior, searches for deer in fields north of K-10 Wednesday as part of an environmental studies class. The class assisted the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks in the annual deer census, which gives researchers data to estimate the region's deer population. Students apply learning in the field ECOLOGY BY ABIGAIL BOLIN abolin@kansan.com Spotlights dance across the fields and woods on the outskirts of Lawrence, coming from a truck that has slowed to a stop. The brake lights shine through the gravel dust as the spotlights reach an agreement. In the camouflage of high grass, the illuminated space seems to have no secrets until the glow of two eyes acknowledges its visitors. The white-tailed doe stands to present herself. A moment passes before she cocks her head and prances away. Then the high beams return to the dance floor as deer spotting resumes. The students in Bob Hagen's field ecology course have teamed up with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and Lloyd Fox, big game coordinator, to perform the annual deer census. Over three days, these environmental studies students get hands-on experience in order to better understand what goes on in the field. "The basic essence of education is doing it instead of just me lecturing the facts," Hagen said. "It's combining those facts with the knowledge gained through active learning. Let's find out what really happening" A towering metal structure in the bed of Fox's pickup looks out of place until two students hike themselves on the platform. Armed with spotlights, they are able to spot more deer from a higher perspective before recording information such as gender, age, location and number of deer, as well as the physical characteristics of the environment. "Now we're in the game, like, Where are they, those little, creepy, glowing green eyes?" Marc Kingston, Leawood senior, said. "I could sit up there all night. It's a great opportunity to apply the field ecology learning methods of scientific experiments. You get a better understanding of it with a hands-on approach" During the early 20th century, the abundant deer population was completely eliminated from Kansas, Hagen said, which led to a new conservation ethic for preserving wildlife in the 21st century. The idea was to have hunters replace the predators in order to manage and sustain the deer population. The census provides the information to make this possible. "We follow the trend on deer population and use that to decide the length of the season and number of (hunting) permits to issue," Fox said. "We try to balance the number of deer with the public's desire for them." Hagen prepared his students for deer spotting with a milk jug challenge — milk jugs were placed at random in a grassy field for his students to spot. "There were some intentionally hidden really well," Lydia Gibson, Prairie Village senior, said. "It taught us that we're not going to see every single deer and that's okay. You don't need to know the real number of the population." Since the census was created in 2002, deer spotting has not become any easier. Blinking eyes could turn out to be grass waving in front of a reflector. A deer imitating the fence could actually be the fence. And accepting the fact that deer aren't willing to stand there and be counted is another lesson learned from this particularly enjoyable experience. For the past two years, University students have worked on the census with Fox. He said he enjoys having them around. "It's good for me to get back with these types of humans," Fox joked. "They keep me young and entertained." — Edited by Samantha Foster CRIME Lawrence Police arrest student outside the Hawk The Lawrence Police Department said a University student was arrested early Thursday on charges of aggravated assault, battery, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing after a disagreement with employees at The Hawk. Sgt. Michael Monroe said the 21-year-old student was vomiting outside the establishment, located at 1340 Ohio St., shortly after 1 a.m., when employees asked him to leave. The student responded aggressively and displayed a pocket sized fold-out knife with the blade extended. A group of friends escorted the student off the property and into a nearby alley. However, employees of the bar soon noticed that the student had returned and they asked him to leave once again. The student responded aggressively again and battered one of the employees, although no serious injuries were reported Employees of the bar restrained the student while they dialed police. Lawrence police arrested the student and booked him into Douglas County Jail at 1:39 a.m. The student had not yet been released as of Thursday evening.

Not only is it Senior Day for one of the most talented coaches Mark Francis has had, it's also the last chance for the team to earn a spot in the Big 12 tournament. t Oh, and they're playing border rival and No. 20 Missouri. So what does Francis tell his team leading up to a game of this magnitude? This afternoon's game, which starts at 3 p.m. at the jayhawk "There's not really much you have to say.

Soccer Complex, will be about more than just a Missouri-Kansas rivalry, as the last hopes for a postseason berth are at stake for Kansas. The Jayhawks must win their match, but they also need Baylor to lose at Oklahoma or Texas Tech to lose at Colorado. It's a daunting situation, but even more daunting considering Kansas' opponent. Missouri (12-4-3, 7-0-2 Big 12) has already earned the Big 12 regular season title with a sixpoint cushion over No. 2 Texas A&M. The Tigers are without a loss in conference play and undefeated in their last 10 games, with their last loss coming from No. 5 UCLA on Sept. 20. Francis said Missouri's speed and aggressiveness sets it apart from other teams. "They do what they do very,very well, and they've obviously had a lot of success with it." he said. Missouri's direct offense has the most goals and assists in the Big 12 during conference play. Francis said his team will have to be quicker than usual to control the tempo of the game against Missouri's speed. "Their style is different than any team we've played thus far this year," junior midfielder/forward Caitlin Noble said. "They play with a three-four-three, and we haven't played that formation yet." At least one statistic favors the Jayhawks: They haven't lost to Missouri at home since 1996. And they know that streak can't be broken if they want to keep playing this year. "I don't think it really hit me yet that it could be the last game," freshman midfielder/forward Shelby Williamson said. "No one wants to just be done." It would be the first time in 10 years that Kansas didn't make the Big 12 tournament. That would seem an odd distinction for a team that many players say is the best the KU 14 **inferior forward Kim Boyer takes possession of the ball during the Kansas-Nebraska game Oct. 23. Saturday's game against Missouri is the last in the regular season and will be the last chance for the Jayhawks to get a spot in the Big 12 tournament.** Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN school has had in recent years. "I don't want it to be our last game because this is one of the better teams we've had at KU, and we haven't lived up to our full potential yet," Noble said. "I know we could win the Big 12 tournament, I just want to get there." And, for the five seniors, there will be an extra dose of motivation as they play their last game on the Jayhawk Soccer Complex turf. "I'm not going to let this be my last game," senior defender Estelle Johnson said. "I think we're all pretty determined not to let this be our last game." Fall schedule allows team to practice the basics to prepare for regatta Edited by Abby Olcese ROWING BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com For the experienced members of the Kansas rowing team, the fall season essentially boils down to a few scrimmages used to gauge the competition. For the team's freshmen, however, it means much more. "It's the first race for all of the t Follow Ben Ward at twitter.com/ bm_dub. freshmen, which is really important for them," coach Rob Catloth said. "Most of them are walk-ons, so it'll be their first time in the water at the collegiate level." And they'll get their chance when the Jayhawks travel to Wichita on Sunday to compete in the Frostbite Regatta. Catloth said that everyone on the team would see action, mostly in either the Collegiate Eight or Collegiate Four races — if Mother Nature feels like cooperating, that is. Kansas' last meet, the Oct. 10 Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan was canceled because of inclement weather. In this short fall season, the lajhawks have only competed in one event, the Boot of the Oklahoma on Oct. 3. Still, the team enjoyed a strong outing, albeit nearly a month ago. It finished near the top of the field in every event in which it entered The time away from competition has provided the team with plenty of time to work on the basics, said Catloth. He considers this to be the essence of the fall part of the schedule. "This is mainly our conditioning time of the year," Catloth said. "So we've been focused on the fundamentals and technical aspects while simply getting into racing shape." classmen will be gearing up for the regular season in the spring. Catloth will also be looking to them for leadership on Sunday. "I expect some of those freshmen will be nervous," Catloth said. "But our older players will help them out and show them support."

If Kansas passively approaches the home opener, senior center Nicole McCombs, who led the Gorillas with 15.7 ppg last season, could dominate the paint with easy put-backs off of rebounds. Henrickson looks to counter that possibility with a collective focus on defense. "We've got to do a better job of protecting the paint and not fouling" Henrickson said. The only way Kansas can make efficient defense really count is by utilizing each possession. "We need to limit our turn-overs, get more possessions and make them turn the ball over more." Boogard said. "We're trying to make it to the NCAA Tournament," Morris said. "It's time to have the season that we've always dreamed." But the rumbles of Allen Fieldhouse this Sunday will only be the start of something much more. Edited by Lauren Cunningham QUOTE OF THE DAY "I feel like there's a lot more people noticing our program, just because of the way we ended last season and the way we showcased ourselves. I think it's exciting to hopefully have a lot more people in the stands for our first game." Junior center Krysten Boogaard KEY TO THE GAME WHAT TO WATCH FOR KEY TO THE GAME Defense in the paint: The Jayhawks need to win the battle in the paint in order to come away with a victory against Pitt. State this Sunday. In past seasons Kansas has struggled in defending its paint without committing fouls. The Gorillas have talent beneath the basket, and if the Jayhawks don't make the necessary adjustments, they could start their season with a surprising loss. Point guard play: Former Kansas point guard ivana Catic is the only missing starter from the 2008-2009 team. That leaves a big question mark on the roster as the Jayhawks begin a new season. Although two of the three current point guards are playing their first game under coach Bonnie Henrickson, expect the talent of the newcomers to help the Jayhawks power past the Gorillas. Freshman guard Angel Goodrich has a knack for finding open players. That, along with the experience of junior college transfer Rhea Codio, should give the Jayhawks a little bit of a spark. Andrew Taylor Teller's SUNDAY BRUNCH Only $9.95 with Student ID www.tellerslawrence.com Team reaches end of season Saturday CROSS COUNTRY BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com The season is winding down for the cross country team with the Big 12 Championships this Saturday. The runners will be competing in the event after a season of a new coach and new practice schedule, which included earlier practices and more of an emphasis on weight training. "The conference meet is the most important meet of the year," said assistant coach Michael Whitesey. "It's where you want to stack up against everyone in the conference and show your best." Last year both the men's and women's teams finished in 8th place. "We want to improve on how we did in the past," senior Kellie Schneider said. "We want to get in the top five." This year they hope to improve, as results have shown they have been all year. When they ran on the same course at the beginning of the year in the Missouri Cross Country Challenge, many of the runners cut off significant amounts of time. The top five returning finishers on the men's side cut 1:30 off their time. The top four returning finishers on the women's side cut on at least 30 seconds with sophomore Rebeka Stowe showing the most improvement by cutting off 1:20. "They've all gotten a lot faster since the beginning of the year," Whittlesey said. "We are really starting to establish who our one through five runners are, especially on the women's side. We know exactly how we run best as a team and collectively and we've been able to finetune our race strategy based off how people are performing in each meet." Some of this has to do with more experience. The returning runners are getting older and learning how hard they can push themselves. "I think that the quality of the workouts that he's had are much better," senior Bret Ingrund said. "He does a better job of explaining things, also, and why we're doing stuff and is just able to connect with the team a lot better." This weekend's competition will prove what effect the new training will have on the team. Edited by Lauren Cunningham KANSAS 190 KANSAS 194 Sophomore Rebeka Stowe, front, and sophomore Kara Windisch, back, run to the finish of the 5K women's race Sept 5. Stowe and Windisch finished first and second respectively at the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm. Adam Buhler/KANSAN FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) control some of the clock and keep Tech's offense off of the field." Sure, running the ball is a priority for Kansas each week. After all, coaches and players always preach the need for a balanced offense in order to be most efficient. But when facing a team such as Texas Tech, running the ball successfully not only gains yards, it also keeps the Red Raiders' offense on the sideline. "When the defense is out there a lot, especially against the Texas Tech offense, the ball is getting thrown everywhere so you're having to run around the whole game," sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson said. "Running the ball and clock control is really big against teams like Tech." Yet it's something the layhawks have struggled with in their last two games — both of which were losses. Kansas finished with minus 8 yards against Colorado, and followed that performance with 81 yards against Oklahoma. Those games share another common theme: Kansas dug an early hole that forced the Jayhawks to pass more in order to play catch-up. "Certainly when you feel like you need to score faster, pounding it out three, four, five or six yards at a time isn't necessarily what you see as the best solution," offensive line coach Reagan said. During practice this week senior quarterback Todd Reesing said one of Kansas' weekly focuses was to re-establish the run game an area of the offense that served as the team's strength in the first two games. Sharp opened the year with back-to-back 100 yard performances and even led the Big 12 in rushing yards after two weeks. Then he suffered an injury before Kansas' game against Duke on Sept. 19, and the run game hasn't been nearly as potent since. Freshman running back Toben Opurum filled in adequately but the fayhawks visibly missed Sharp's big-play threat. In turn, Kansas' offensive line hasn't blocked as effectively in the Big 12 as the unit did during the nonconference season. "But just like anything," Reagan said, "the struggles are more than just a two part problem." Now Kansas wants — and most likely needs — to kick-start its rushing attack to compete with Texas Tech and avoid losing three consecutive games for the first time since 2006. "We're focusing this week on the run game because we want to get this going," Reesing said. "We want to get Jake and Toben some more carries and get them going in the right direction. We're going to try and get that phase of the offense going."

As a finalist, Reeing receives an $18,000 scholarship toward postgraduate studies. The winner will receive $25,000 in scholarship money. Reesing has passed for 2,204 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. Other notable finalists for the award are Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Texas quarterback Colt McCov. The winner will be announced December in New York. Texas Tech announces starting quarterback According to ESPN.com, Texas Tech will start freshman quarterback Seth Doege, who completed 18 of 25 pass attempts for 146 yards in a loss to Texas A&M last week. Texas Tech has started three quarterbacks this season, but Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Wednesday that the decision would have little impact in Kansas' preparation. Tech's offensive line may create problems Junior defensive end Jake Laptad said that Texas Tech's splits, or space, between their offensive linemen can potentially be tough for defensive players. The Red Raiders spread their offensive linemen out, forcing the defense to adjust and, in turn, spread out as well. "it's tough to get pressure on them when they have a big split like that," Laptad said. But Laptad also noted that the alignment can be used as an advantage at times. "It it hurts a little bit but then you can also go under them, which shortens the distance," he said. Freshman linebacker continues developing Coach Mark Mangino said that freshman linebacker Huldon Tharp has continued improving as the season has progressed. Tharp has made 28 tackles this season — the eighth most on the team. "Every week, a little bit better, a little bit better," Mangino said. "Just how you'd like to see a young player like him develop." Mangino then noted Kansas' situation at linebacker — a position that has seen four players split nearly all of the time. "They're all playing," Mangino said. "It's not socialism though. It's just the way that we it have packaged." Jayson Jenks MORNING BREW The Kansas City Chiefs running back's latest outbreak didn't just separate him from the team for one week — his time in Kansas City might be up for good. Calling out Todd Haley on his Twitter was childish. Has he not seen the trouble other tweeters wound up in? Did he think no one would see them? Regardless of the issue, fans, coaches and players have had enough. Johnson's behavior disappoints fans For those who did not see Johnson's tweets after the 37-7 manhandling from the Chargers, he had this to say about head coach Todd Halev: arry Johnson has the diaper back on.

He is not allowed to be part of the team for two weeks — the team's bye week and a trip to jacksonville. The NFL is looking into the matter and could make the punishment longer. The Chiefs are 1-6. Johnson ranks just 19th in the league in rushing yards. Is there really any need to spark a controversy? The team is terrible, and maybe this is Johnson's excuse to abandon ball. so the Chiefs could yank him from the squad to save some money. But if the league steps in to suspend him, then he wouldn't get paid at all for however long he is out. Johnson gets a bonus from his contract every time he plays. Johnson. For the past year and a half, experts have built up Charles' impact as a breakout player for Kansas City and even fantasy owners. None of the players listed has done anything to prove they are worth their potential, but maybe it's just too early to tell. At this point, as long as they aren't knocking their head coach, they will take them. Whatever the case, the Chiefs are looking at Jamaal Charles, Dantrell Savage and Kolby Smith to back up This season was going well for Johnson from a legal standpoint. He has been arrested four times since 2003 for altercations with women. We didn't hear a peep out of Johnson until this week. Unfortunately, it made up for the THE MORNING BREW past seven weeks.

Kansas comes in with a 12-9 (4-7) record while Texas A&M has a record of 13-6 (6-5). The last time the two teams faced off was Oct. 3, when the Jayhawks played at A&M's court, where Kansas lost in three sets. "We had a pretty disappointing loss there," Mayfield said. "I think we all know we could have played better." Revenue is on the Jayhawks' mind, and Mayfield said the team wants to avenge their earlier loss. Sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield said Kansas played the Aggies tough in the Oct. 3 match, but didn't quite reach their potential. "What's good about our conference is you get to play everyone twice," Mayfield said. "So if that happens the first time you get those built up emotions and can just leave it out on the floor when you play them the second time." Senior defensive specialist Melissa Grieb said Kansas is excited for the chance to defeat a ranked team. "There's always that extra T Follow Zach Getz at twitter.com/ zgetz. competition when a ranked team comes into your house," Grieb said. "We really want to do some damage on Saturday." Kansas may get their chance with this weekend's match. Texas A&M has lost its last two matches and lost three of the last four, while Kansas has won three out of its last four matches. But A&M's team is still nothing to be ignored. Kansas coach Ray Bechard have three seniors that started all four years and are a very experienced team. This weekend's match falls on Halloween. The last time Kansas played on Oct. 31 was at Baylor, and Grieb said many of the fans dressed up and got a little crazy. She said she is interested to see what the Kansas crowd will do this year. Coach Bechard joked that the holiday may give his team an extra edge. “it's a huge match,” Bechard said. "It falls on Halloween, so hopefully we can trick them."

MLB "The fans know and the Cardinals know that I want to be a Cardinal for my whole career." Pujols told WXOS-FM on Thursday. "I love this city. The way that this city has embraced me and my family." Pujols, who has one year left on his contract plus an option year, raised some eyebrows with his comments during an interview with a Dominican radio station earlier this month. "I'm not desperate to sign a contract extension. I still have one year remaining in my contract for 2010 and a club option for 2011. I leave the rest in God's hands," Pujols told CDN 92.5 FM. On Thursday, he reiterated that there is no rush but "if they come tomorrow and say 'Albert, you know, we want to lock you up,' hey they know that we're open to that." The two-time NL MVP said he wanted the Cardinals to concentrate on signing Matt Holiday and other free agents first. Pujols also praised the hiring of Mark McGwire as the teams new hitting instructor. Manager Tony La Russa said he talked to Pujols about McGwire before hiring the former home run champion. "He's going to teach guys how to play the game. He's going to say to the guys, 'This is what I have to offer you,' and hopefully they'll put it together and hopefully it will work,' Pujols said.

Jayhawks in the lead for preseason 1 Coaches poll picks Kansas as number one BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com The ESPN/USA Today Preseason Coaches' Poll voted Kansas No.1 for the first time since 2004-05 while the Jayhawks also received the top spot in The Associated Press' first preseason Top 25. In the polls released Thursday, Kansas received 27 out of 31 first-place votes in the coaches' poll and 55 out of 65 in the Associated Press poll. Michigan State was second with three first-place votes and Texas was third in both polls with the only difference being five first-place votes for Michigan State and one for Texas in the Associated Press poll. This marks the third time in school history Kansas is atop the preseason poll (1996-97). "I'm not really surprised because a lot of people have said all along we would be here," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a prepared statement Thursday. "This is a reflection of last year's performance, who you return and who you recruited from a projection stand-point." The lajahawks return their top nine scorers, 12 letter winners and 94 percent of every statistical category from last season's 27-8 team. Eight out of the past 10 years have the coaches ranked Kansas seventh or higher in the preseason He said he hopes his team does not put too much into a preseason poll, but still wishes for them to live up to expectations. "I can see us being rated that high," Self said, "but I hope our guys understand prelease rankings do not mean a lot and it should be our effort to try and play to that ranking each and every day we come out to practice." Self believes this is the kind of pressure the team needs to stay on top of their game throughout the season. E "I almost hope there is pressure," he said, "because I hope they realize that if they are not their best every day and try to get better each and every day, someone else has our game circled on their schedule.

When a team is winning, it has all the momentum and confidence is high going into every game. Sure, there will be some distractions and pressure that come with winning games, but it is still much more difficult to respond to a loss than it is to stay focused after a win. A loss forces a team to reevaluate what it did wrong, and it often causes players to doubt their abilities or question their coaches' game plans. Instead, the Jayhawks have a big opportunity to prove they are not finished. In a conference where anything can happen, Kansas is capable of regrouping and winning enough games to make it to the Big 12 Championship. After losing two games in a row, Kansas has to hit the road to play a team no one wants to face, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Jayhawks have dropped out of the polls after a big loss to Oklahoma, and it would be easy to give up on the idea of winning the Big 12 North. Todd Reesing has never lost three games in a row as Kansas' starting quarterback. Time after time, he has come up with a big play for the Jayhawks, and you would think he would find a way to get the job done against Texas Tech. Reeing is coming off perhaps his worst game of his Kansas career. He was intercepted three times in the first half of last week's loss to Oklahoma, and Several other players also had subpar games in the loss to Oklahoma, but bouncing back from tough times starts with Reesing. If Reesing can get off to a good start against the Red Raiders, other players will feed off of his play and follow suit. finished with just 224 yards passing. The Jayhawks have to remember they are not the only ones that are having a tough time right now. Missouri is 0-3 in Big 12 play and Nebraska just turned the ball over eight times in an ugly loss to Iowa State.The Big 12 North is still wide open, and Kansas should realize that it could start a winning streak just as quickly as it started its recent slump. I was disappointed with some of the fans in my section at last Saturday's loss to Oklahoma. It's one thing to leave a game early when it becomes a blowout. It's another thing to start questioning the players and coaches who have helped put Kansas football on the map in recent years. I heard constant complaints about the play-calling or Reesing's play at quarterback as the game was getting out of hand. Instead of having confidence in our team's abilities, some fans displayed doubt in their abilities, which was surely felt by the players on the field. Yelling at the players did nothing to restore their confidence after they made mistakes during the game, and this did nothing to help Kansas win last week's game. Kansas has had its share of bad breaks this season, but it has been nothing like what the Oklahoma Sooners have gone through. After losing their starting quarterback and tight end to injuries, the Sooners have battled through a brutal schedule and responded to adversity by defeating the Jayhawks last week. Their fans still did a great job of supporting the team and appreciated the efforts that the players were giving. This week's game will tell us a lot about Kansas football and just how far it has come. Not only will we see how the team responds to adversity, but we will see how the Kansas fans respond to adversity as well. It's easy to cheer for a team when it is winning every game. It gets a little bit harder when that same team is losing. I hope that this week the Jayhawks can show the conference they aren't finished yet.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 30.2009 4 FEATURE A BAND BUILT ON TRADITION The Marching Jayhawks continue to impress by carrying on decades-old routines By Kathleen Gier editor@kansan.com The melodies rise above the people in the crowd as they walk past the Campanile down the hill to Memorial Stadium. The music continues during the first half, livening up timeouts. The crowd is thrilled by the halftime routines with themes such as Sunday morning cartoons and a Blood, Sweat and Tears medley. The sounds still echo the tune of "Home on the Range" after most of the crowd has left the game. The music is coming from the University of Kansas Marching Jayhawks. "During that first game, coming down the hill, running onto the field from the tunnels and finding your place on the field; you realize 52,000 people are watching," says Josh Maddux, Overland Park freshman. "It was breathtaking." The Marching Jayhawks have been running onto the field in this same way since 1971. The program is filled not only with rich tradition, but continued spirit. Teresa Mulinazzi Kempf, a 1991 graduate who played clarinet for three years in the marching band, lives in DeSoto and has held season tickets to football games since her graduation. She says that she still enjoys watching the pregame routine. "It still sends chills down my spine when they walk down the hill before the game; everyone is watching you and it is very impressive," Kepf says. "I love to see some of the same things we did like running from the stands onto the field. It is cool because we did that 20 years ago." Lee "Fritz" Whitman, a 1982 graduate who played tuba for six years in the marching band, started a tradition his freshman year — a song that is still sung today as part of the pregame routine, "Hog Calling." "It was always led by the tubas and one game we were singing barbershop quartet songs to kill time before the run-in and I just said, 'Hey guys, follow me on this one,'" Whitman says. "It is a song I learned at a Boy Scout camp in Nebraska and it was a funny little song but everyone had a good time and enjoyed it." Whitman was sure the tradition would die out after he graduated, but is entertained that it is still a part of the pregame. Now the band gathers in a huddle under the bleachers before its run-in. The sousaphones are in a middle circle while the other instruments circle around. There are four verses and between verses a senior leads with an inspirational speech. The song finishes as the band says, "What kind of day is it? It's a great day to be a Jayhawk! "The fun part is singing the song and getting the whole band together — it is amazing," Whitman says. "It is funny to see it still going on because it is just a silly campfire song." "Part of what is special about KU band is the traditions that have evolved over 100 years," Foster says. "That in itself is impressive." Traditions like this stay strong in all parts of the band — Director of Athletic Bands David Clemmer took over his position in 2002 from Robert Foster, who started directing the band in 1971. During the past 100 years, the band has only had five directors, three of which have served for more than 30 years. "Stability will build traditions," Foster says. "You simply cannot build a program around a revolving door." And band members put in around 10 to 12 hours a week to keep these traditions alive. "The kids work really hard," Clemmer says. "They understand that there is a standard of excellence and they have to uphold that." The band practices in a parking lot across from the Dole Institute of Politics from 3:45 p.m. until 5:45 p.m.every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the football season. They also have a Saturday morning pregame practice. Hannah Wagner, Ames, Iowa, junior, is a drum major for the band this year. As a drum major she puts in even more time setting up practices and looks over everyone's parts in the songs to see how the marching should coordinate with the music. "I have no job during the season because it really is a full-time commitment, but it is definitely worth it in the end." Wagner says. "We are all working toward the same goal and that is to represent the University on game day." "Our attitude is important because at a practice if we not excited and not working hard, then they see that," says Brian Fassold, Olathe senior and drum major. Beyond the extra time commitment, the drum majors also have leadership responsibilities. They often act as role models to the freshmen and sophomores in the band. At their rehearsals every week, all 285 Director of Athletic Bands David Clemmer demonstrates the Pyware 3D software, which he uses to design formations for the marching band, such as the one pictured in the right photo. "Back in the day, a drill was written by hand. It would take a couple hours to do a page." Clemmer said. "Now (with Pyware), as quick as I can think it, I can make it."

The three drum majors are responsible for setting up practices and acting as role models for the rest of the band. members of the band start new music, review the show for the upcoming week and always end with the pregame routine. Clemmer says it takes the band about three rehearsals to learn a new song, which is a big change for freshman Maddux. "The formations can be complicated to learn at times. We learned the same style of marching in high school, but you learn it a different way." Wagner says. "The level of the music is also more difficult than at the high school level." Not only does the band learn new songs and new routines every week, but they must be memorized by game time. And it is not a simple process. "It is great to see the band play because "There was some difficulty learning the routines at first, but after being in marching band for four years it is easier to grasp the concepts and it was not overall hard," Maddux says. "It is a pretty significant change from high school where we would play four songs a year to four songs a week; that has been the biggest part to get used to." Wagner agreed about the difficulties of learning new music and routines. you know what they go through to learn the routines," says Whitman, who returns for homecoming most years and plays with the alumni band. "You root for them and you want to be out there playing again." In the parking lot where the band practices, there is a full football field painted out with all the yard lines and hash marks. They have painted markings for where band members need to stand for different sequences, but also have a system using plastic chips that tells them where to go. Each band member receives a drill sheet full of their specific step counts between positions and coordinates for each movement are timed out for them. During rehearsals, each of the members will go through their sheets and mark out their spots for the routine before even setting their marching to music. "We do this so that they can walk onto the football field and do it without the markings using muscle memory and peripheral vision, where they can quickly correct their timing or spacing," Clemmer says.

The band has had just five directors during the past 100 years. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 6 FEATURE Continued from page 5 Though the traditional marches have not changed for many years, technology certainly has. "For generations all of this was done by hand, but as computers became more popular, people started to create programs that could create band formations," Foster says. "It is a much more efficient way to do it now." Clemmer now uses a program called Pyware, which is a graphical interface that divides the field into traditional steps. A traditional step is 22 $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches, which is equal to eight steps every five yards. "Everyone gets a coordinate guide and as they memorize it, they start to get an idea of what the formation will look like," Clemmer says. "The program is neat, though, because I can easily print out copies to send out or I can show them what the formations will look like." This change has made it easier for the band to be more creative with its formations. "When you plot on a chart, which is a form of graph paper with each square being two steps, it is a lot more structured, but with the computer you are able to be a lot more free form," Foster says. The band uses core-style marching, which is adapted from drum and bugle corps and traditionally only include forwards and backwards movement. But the KU band moves in every direction possible. This is used in the traditional sunflower formation as well as many of the halftime shows. "It is more about the motion than the pictures themselves," Clemmer says. "It is how they move and flow, more like a kaleidoscope." The band's end goal, though, is to entertain and add to the game atmosphere. "We used to change the halftime shows almost every home game because the objective is entertainment; there was a long era where complaints came from concessions people because people would stay and watch the halftime shows," Foster says. "People have to look forward to what is going to happen." The traditions will continue as the games do, and the spirit of the band will always be there. "A lot more people care about the game and are not just there because they have to be there," says Daniel Sill, Andover freshman. "They want to be there to cheer on the team; it is the pride of being a Jayhawk."

Senior quarterback Todd Reesing threw three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown, and the Kansas offense struggled for most of the game. The Jayhawks' defense held the Sooners to 14 points in the first half, but the Kansas offense scored just six points on two field goals. Junior kicker Jacob Branstetter made both field goal attempts in the second quarter, which included a 57-yard kick as time expired in the first half. Two quick Oklahoma touchdowns in the third quarter put the Sooners up 28-6. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones finished with 252 yards passing on 26 completions. He passed for two touchdowns but was also intercepted once by sophomore Ryan Murphy. Reesing finished with 224 yards passing on 22 completions. He completed just over 50 percent of his passes and ran for the Jayhawks' only touchdown. Kansas was held to just 81 yards rushing. Senior Jake Sharp finished the game with 14 yards on 7 carries and freshman Toben Opurum gained 59 yards on 13 carries. The Jayhawks will play Texas Tech at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. - Scott Toland SOONERS 12 Weston White/KANSAN Freshman quarterback Landry Jones throws to a receiver last Saturday against Kansas.

TENNESSEE The Gamecocks head into Tennessee for a big matchup with the Volunteers. Lane Kiffin's team gave Alabama all it could handle, and Tennessee is now ready to break through against a ranked team. Safety Eric Berry and the Volunteers' defense should lead them to victory. G GEORGIA VS. FLORIDA Florida has a lot of rivals in the SEC, and Georgia is one of its biggest. The Bulldogs are having a down year, and they are still looking for a big victory this season. Tim Tebow and the Florida offense have not looked invincible, and more teams are figuring out how to stop the Gators. C CINCINNATI VS. SYRACUSE ASSOCIATED PRESS S The Bearcats have been one of the biggest surprises in college football so far this season. Now they must try to keep it going on the road against Syracuse. If Cincinnati can handle the pressure that comes with being a top five team, it should be able to stay undefeated. Ψ INDIANA VS. IOWA University of Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley gets set to pass as Oregon State defense end Gabe Miller runs in during the first half of their game in Los Angeles. The Trojans held on to win 42-36. 7 The Hawkeyes have surprised everyone by starting 8-0 this season. They needed a last-second pass to win at Michigan State last week and should be happy to return home to take on the Hoosiers. Indiana is just 4-4, but this could be a dangerous game for the Hawkeyes. SC USC VS. OREGON Trojans prepare for Ducks in clash of Pac-10's best teams O Oregon finally has a chance to prove it is better than USC and take control of the Pac-10 Conference. The Ducks have won six straight games after dropping their season opener on the road to Boise State. Since then, they have averaged 38 points per game and have been rolling through their conference schedule. However, they haven't played any team with the defensive prowess of USC. The Trojans are surrendering just 15 points per game, but they are coming off a narrow 42-36 victory against Oregon State. The Ducks would like to turn this game into a shootout against USC freshman quarterback Matt Barkley, but Pete Carroll has other plans. This game will likely decide the winner of the conference championship. APTOP25 Team (First-place votes) Record Total Votes Prev. Rank 1. Florida (30) 7-0 1463 2 2. Alabama (23) 8-0 1448 1 3.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 10 FEATURE CROSS COUN LEADING THE WAY TO SUCCESS Lauren Bonds has set a good example for the cross country team By Samantha Anderson sanderson@kansan.com Lauren Bonds is a runner. After a hard day of studying, she doesn't think about returning to the couch and flipping on the television. She thinks of the 10-mile run she has waiting for her at practice. Running, for Bonds, is a way to deal with some of the stresses of college life. And it is this passion that makes her the great KU athlete she is today. Bonds knew that she wanted to be a collegiate runner by high school. She had success at Hutchinson High School as a Senior League Bound is giving away for the 2019 Big Yaz Grand Country Championships in Columbia, Mo. Bound has been named academic All Big Yaz Team for 6 years in a row. runner, placing fourth in the Kansas 6A State Cross Country Championships. It wasn't until her sister, Morgan Bonds, ran for Kansas State that she realized that she could take her athletic success to a collegiate level. "I don't think it ever really hit me that this is what I want to do in college and that this is going to be an opportunity for me until my sister went to college" Bonds says. "That's when I started thinking this is what my college is going to be like too. Coming home over winter break and doing abs until you want to pass out." adidas Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 4 THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1 FEATURE 11 Lauren didn't follow in her sister's footsteps completely though. She went to the University of Kansas. Lauren had a very successful freshman season, finishing consistently within the top four runners for Kansas. But she still was not completely content with how she was contributing to the team. "Looking back at it, I wish I would have been more serious earlier." Bonds says. "I didn't really know what I should be doing, but at the same time I learned a lot from that." By her sophomore year, she was the first finisher for Kansas in all of the races in which she participated. "As she matured more and more she got better and better," says cross country coach Stanley Redwine. "It's not that she changed. It's just a result of her willingness to succeed." And will herself she does. Although she is primarily a mid-distance runner during the track season, she still runs more miles per week than any other women on the cross country team. "Cross country is really hard for me just because I'm used to the shorter faster stuff," Bonds says. "That's always been easier for me. For me to be able to help my team as much as I can and be competitive at the Big 12 and competitive in the region, I know I can't do that running 40 or 50 miles per week." It is this type of dedication that makes her teammates push themselves and do their best as well. "She is someone we look up to and really try to become a good runner like she has," says sophomore cross country runner Kara Windisch. Lauren isn't just a role model on the cross country trail, though. She is always available if her teammates need her advice. "She's a great leader and she helps people out," Windisch says. "If they have questions about running or what they need to do, Bonds is always there. All the girls listen to what she has to say." Bonds brings the same focus and intensity that she has while she is running to her schoolwork.She is a political science major and is going to law school next year at Duke. "They definitely compliment each other, being serious on the track and being serious in school." Bonds says. And it shows. Bonds has been named Academic All-Big 12 First Team for two years in a row. "What I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life is academic and not athletic," Bonds says. "So I think academics has always been more important than sports to me, but there still has to be a balance." Bonds has found that balance and it is working well for her. "I think the ability to achieve — I don't care if you're a distance runner or a shot putter — what it does is if a person really wants it and is committed to it they are able to do it," Redwine says. "And with her I don't think it's because she is a distance runner that she is able to achieve; it's because she wants it." With her last cross country season winding down, Bonds still has a few more goals. The 2009 Big 12 Championships are on Saturday in Columbia, Mo. "I definitely want to qualify for nationals as an individual if my team is not able to come with me. I would love for my team to come with me." Bonds says. "Also I want to improve upon my finish at Big 12 this year." She finished 12th last year with a time of 21:31 in the 6K race and she earned her first All-Big 12 honor. When Bonds does cross her last finish line, whether it be in nationals or not, she will leave her team of four years and there will be a big part of the Kansas cross country team missing. "She's a great friend and great running partner," Windisch says. "She's just one of the runners that you wish could stay around forever." KINGS FIELD Photos by Weston White/KANSAN Lauren Bonds begins to take off from the rest of the pack to a first place finish at the Bob Timmons Classic at Rim Rock farm northwest of Lawrence.

Luckily for the Jayhawks, nearly every other team in the conference has faltered already this season, too. Kansas has lost two consecutive games and can't afford to keep slipping in the Big 12 North standings. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman running back Toben Opurum With senior running back Jake Sharp still at less than 100 percent, Opurum should continue seeing more carries this week against Texas Tech. And he'll play a significant part in the outcome. Controlling the clock Opurum — and possessing a balanced offense — is always important. Facing an offense such as the Red Raiders'only adds to the need for a successful run game. QUESTION MARKS Will the young secondary hold up? There aren't many teams that challenge a secondary quite like Texas Tech does. Even with an uncertain situation at quarterback, the Red Raiders are capable of putting up big offensive numbers. It will be a true trial-by-fire test for Kansas' secondary. Will senior Todd Reesing come out firing? Reeing tossed three interceptions in the first half against Oklahoma, including one that was returned 85 yards for a touchdown. He has never shied away from the home-run play. Will he continue to carry that mentality with him?

GAME DAY 13 Texas Tech (5-3) 35 M Th sp T a n Opurum OFFENSE Coach Mike Leach will make his decision on whom to --- Potts start at quarterback at game time, but don't think Texas Tech's offensive mentality will change too much, whether it's junior Taylor Potts, junior Steven Sheffield or freshman Seth Doege at the helm. The Red Raiders have thrown for more than 400 yards per game this season and have just 557 total rushing yards. Graham Harrell picked apart the Jayhawks' secondary last year and Leach will likely plan to try to do the exact same thing. Junior Detron Lewis is the main target, but a bevy of receivers get looks. DEFENSE sive considering other teams play from behind and must throw the ball. However, Texas A&M might have exposed a weakness in the run defense: The Aggies ran up 321 yards last Saturday. Junior middle linebacker Brian Duncan has 57 tackles on the season and leads the team. Senior The Red Raiders' defensive statistics are impres- Duncan defensive end Brandon Sharpe is a force to be reckoned with. He has eight sacks on the season, including four against Nebraska two weeks ago. SPECIAL TEAMS ALEXANDER D. Remember Matt Williams' story? He's the student-turned-starting-kicker who was given an opportunity to kick for the Red Raiders after nailing a 30-yarder in a promotion at halftime. He has been pretty solid in his second year for Leach, making four of five field goals with a long of 41 yards. In a typical Leach move, Texas Tech made a change at puncher, opting to go with freshman Ryan Erxleben after Donnie Carona did not perform well early in the season. Williams Leach truly started the passing spread offense seen in many different forms today when he took the reins at Texas Tech 10 years ago. In his first nine seasons, Texas Tech led the country in passing six times. His quarterbacks haven't had success in the NFL, perhaps suggesting that the reason why the offenses have been so successful is because of Leach's system. He COACHING 1 is not afraid to make a huge switch at any position mid-game or take a big gamble on fourth down. Leach MOMENTUM The Red Raiders have ridden the proverbial roller coaster in the start of Big 12 play. They took a 10-point loss at Texas, then spanked Kansas State 66-14 and then rolled Nebraska 31-10. Then, despite dominating a Kansas State team that blew out Texas A&M, Texas Tech lost to Texas A&M by 22.

Tech's quarterback situation is sketchy, but not because it is getting poor play from the position. Kansas' secondary will be tested on nearly every single down on Saturday night. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman wide receiver Alex Torres It's not too often you find a freshman wide receiver making a huge impact, but Texas Tech's system is giving Torres a chance to make plays. He had eight catches for 128 yards in the loss against Texas A&M. He hasn't been flashy but he gets the job done. Expect him to b MARK HELWIG QUESTION MARKS Who will start at quarterback for Mike Leach? Leach was his typical mum self during Monday's Big 12 teleconference when asked about who will be leading the Red Raider offense. He has said that Sheffield is a proven leader, but Potts is also capable. Apparently he also has confidence in Doege. Call this one a toss-up and try to catch some of the pregame warm-ups to determine who will be throwing all day long. Will Texas Tech try to quick-strike for touchdowns? The Red Raiders have scored in less than a minute seven times this season. Kansas has been victimized by the deep pass a few times this season, and you can be sure Leach will attack whoever starts between sophomore Daymond Patterson and freshman D.J. Beshears. Look for some early deep balls from Texas Tech.

Last year's team won its first two NCAA Tournament games before falling 67-62 to Michigan State.

Collins averaged 18.9 points per game and made 77 3-pointers last season. Aldrich averaged a double-double for the season, posting 14.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per contest. The Jayhawks held their opponents to just 38.3 percent shooting from the field during the season. Junior guard Brady Morningstar led last year's team in steals with 43, while sophomore Tyshawn Taylor also earned a starting role in the Jayhawks' lineup. Sophomore twins Marcus and Markieff Morris, junior Tyrel Reed, and senior Mario Little also saw significant playing time last season. Bill Self is starting his seventh season as the Jayhawks' head coach. Self has posted a 169-40 record at Kansas and has led the team to five conference championships in six seasons. He welcomes five freshmen to this year's team. Brothers Xavier and C.J. Henry are joined by Elijah Johnson, Thomas Robinson, and Jeff Withey. Kansas starts this season with a 41-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks tip off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday against Fort Hays State in their first exhibition game of the season.

THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG1217 Words from the Big 12 Writers from around the conference weigh in on their teams TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Sheffield's absence felt on the field By Alex Ybarra The Daily Toreador LUBBOCK, Texas — Even while hobbling around on crutches, Texas Tech quarterback Steven Sheffield's passion was evident during the Red Raiders' loss to Texas A&M Saturday. Relegated to the sidelines because of a broken foot, he was constantly in the ear of quarterbacks Taylor Potts and Seth Doege, among other players. That type of enthusiasm, which was a key reason for the Red Raiders' midseason resurgence, is one thing Texas Tech receiver Alexander Torres said the team missed during its 52-30 loss. "Overall, some of the things that we lacked was our whole mentality and our demeanor on the field that gets us going under pressure," said Torres. "That's something that (Sheffield) helps us keep up: the tempo, momentum, and our attitude going." Sheffield was injured in a 31-10 upset against then-No. 15 Nebraska Oct. 17. He was named the starter against the Huskers after convincingly leading Texas Tech to wins against Kansas State and New Mexico when Potts was recovering from a concussion. Torres mainly was talking about Sheffield's impact on offense, but linebacker Bront Bird admitted the quarterback's contagious personality even spreads to the defense come game time. Bird said there's a "level of confidence" with Sheffield, and his ability to let loose have fun and ignore pressure provides a comfort factor. "Whenever he plays, he's really just having a good time"; Bird said. "He's out there smiling, everybody is chest bumping each other" TEXAS TECH 1 Although he acknowledged Sheffield does a "great job" of generating enthusiasm and that it's an important role, Tech coach Mike Leach called his players' comments "just an excuse." Leach said players need to "have their own damn enthusiasm" and those who don't can "get off their ass" and fill in for Sheffield's absence. ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas Tech quarterback Steven Sheffield throws against Nebraska in the first half of Texas Tech's 31-10 victory against the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday, Oct. 17.

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Snyder focused on improvements 16 Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas is chased by Colorado linebacker Jeff Smart as Thomas runs for a short gain during the third quarter of their game last Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas State won the name 20-6. ASSOCIATED PRESS By Greg Guggisberg Kansas State Collegian While the win gave the Wildcats a two-game lead over everyone in the Big 12 North except Iowa State, Snyder was focused less on the standings and more on the improvement of his football team while addressing the media after the game. MANHATTAN — The Wildcat football team managed to win the game Saturday afternoon, but they did not please coach Bill Snyder. "I am proud wherever we are in the conference and that we have won however many games we have," Snyder said. "If that was the only deal, I would be a happy camper. But that is not what we are about and that is not what we are trying to be about. And I do not want them to feel good about playing poorly or coaching poorly." Coach Snyder was particularly upset with the offense, which fell apart after halftime, scoring no points after the break. When asked about the play of his quarterback, senior Grant Gregory, he said only two words: "Stinks. Bad." "At halftime we were feeling pretty good. We felt like we could duplicate what we did in the first half but we didn't do much on offense," Gregory said. "Colorado played well defensively, but we did not do what we needed to do offensively." While the offense fell apart, the defense gave up only six points and was able to come up with three turnovers, with the fourth coming on special teams. Holding Colorado quarterback Tyler Hansen to 89 yards and no touchdowns was a positive point for the defense. In the end, the Buffaloes turned to quarterback Cody Hawkins to orchestrate the offense at the end of the game. He didn't fare much better, although he did lead a drive the length of the field before throwing the game-ending interception that allowed K-State to run out the clock. Winning this game was good for the Wildcats. Moving to 3-1 in Big 12 Conference play with home games remaining against Kansas and Missouri gives the Wildcats a decent shot at bowl eligibility. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 18 BIG 12 CENTER MISSOURI TIGERS Missouri looks to keep North title in Columbia By Sean Leahy The Maneater COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers blazed to a 4-0 start this season, but after three weeks of conference play, they suddenly have some catching up to do. Losses to Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas on Saturday night mean for the first time in seven seasons Missouri has started 0-3 in the Big 12. The Tigers also find themselves only a game above .500 overall. There is little margin for error the rest of the season if the two-time defending Big 12 North champions look to keep the crown in Columbia. "It's a pivotal point in the season, obviously," coach Gary Pinkel said. "Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. The sense of urgency has got to be here." The last time the Tigers dropped their first three conference games was when they fell to then-No. 3 Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas Tech in 2002. That team went on to finish the season with a 5-7 overall record and a 2-6 conference mark. As for the 2009 team, Pinkel said the time is now for the Tigers to pick things up. "If we don't start playing better, you're never going to win a game," Pinkel said. "You've got to play well." After Saturday's games, Missouri remains at the bottom of the Big 12 North. Although it is only 5-3 overall, the Kansas State Wildcats stand at the head of the standings with a 3-1 conference record. The rest of the North Division is hovering around the .500 mark in Big 12 play. Iowa State stands at 2-2 and is followed by Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado at 1-2. The good news for Missouri is, except for Nebraska, it plays each of those teams before the season ends. "We got to come out and win these next Big 12 games that we have because, other than that, we have no choice," junior tailback Derrick Washington said. "We want to get to the Big 12 Championship. It's hard to bounce back from three losses, but I think we're capable of doing it." Missouri looks to get back in the win column against Colorado this Saturday in Boulder, Colo. The Tigers have won the last two games against Colorado by a combined 103 points. 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert, is sacked for an 11-yard loss by Texas cornerback Dean Beasley, right, during the first quarter of their game last Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

He chopped his hand down on the lectern, rattled off the litany of offensive mistakes, the inopportune penalties, the missed assignments. "I'm proud of the fact that collectively, as a team, we won a ball game. I'm proud of wherever they are in the conference," said Snyder, 4-0 this season in the stadium that bears his name. Colorado coach Dan Hawkins has lost 10-straight road games and is 2-17 away from Boulder in three-plus seasons. Snyder wasn't the only irritable coach. The Buffalofoes were decent defensively against Kansas State, holding multi-threat quarterback Grant Gregory in check, giving the offense a chance despite good field position for Kansas State most of the day. Offensively, Colorado (2-5, 1-2) looked nothing like the team that traded big plays with Kansas last week. The Buffaloes scored on their first drive and did little else until their last drive, which ended in a turnover. The result was a disappointing loss on the heels of an invigorating win over then-No. 16 Kansas. "We just weren't making a lot of plays" Hawkins said. "It was a combination of a lot of little things." Colorado's offense clicked early, moving 71 yards in 13 plays for Rodney Stewart's 2-yard touchdown run. The Buffaloes floundered after that, managing just 59 more yards and turning it over three times before halftime. The first turnover, a fumbled snap by Hansen, led to Josh Cherry's second field goal, from 27 yards. Jason Espinoza then muffed a punt, setting up a 5-yard touchdown run by Gregory that put Kansas State up 20-6 at the half. Hawkins replaced Hansen again in the fourth quarter and had another pass picked off by Lamur in the closing minutes, a fitting end to the way the Buffaloes played most of the day. IOWA STATE CYCLONES Freshman quarterback guides offense to victory By Nate Sandell Iowa State Daily LINCOLN, Neb. — As time expired, Austen Arnaud sprinted toward midfield until he found the person he was looking for. "I'm proud of you; I'm proud of you," Arnaud screamed as he jumped into freshman quarterback Jerome Tiller's arms. All Tiller could do was stand there with a smile, soaking in the aftermath of his first career start, the Cyclones'eight forced turnovers and his team's 9-7 win against Nebraska in Memorial Stadium — the program's first since 1977. "You come into a stadium like this, and you play without the Big 12's leading rusher [Alexander Robinson], you play without your starting quarterback [Arnaud] — not to mention a lengthy list of individual players who were sick," said coach Paul Rhoads, who was visibly emotional after the game, "and to extend that kind of effort is just a fabulous, phenomenal effort, and I couldn't be prouder of our football team." The Cyclones relied on an opportunistic defense, which, with the help of the eight turnovers, held Nebraska to seven points the Huskers' lowest total against Iowa State since 1959. "We came into this game supremely confident with our defense," said defensive tackle Nate Frere. "We really showed up when we needed to. There was a few times when they were knocking on the door and a guy ripped the ball out. That's the kind of things you need to win these big games." With Arnaud nursing a bruised throwing hand and Robinson still feeling the lingering effects of a groin injury, Iowa State turned to Tiller and backup running back Jeremiah Schwartz to help guide the offense. "If you picked the perfect place for your backup quarterback to start a game, I promise you it wouldn't be Memorial Stadium," Rhoads said after the game. Despite the hostile environment, Tiller remained poised under center. THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 19 NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Helu trying to get on track this week SAN By Max Olson Daily Nebraskan LINCOLN, Neb. — Roy Helu Jr. smiled and laughed at the reporter. He might have been mocking the question, but he was fair to do so. "Yes, I believe I can carry the ball over double digits." Helu Jr. said. He may believe it, but Nebraska hasn't seen it lately from its star I-back. Ever since Helu exploded for a careerhigh 169 rushing yards on 28 carries against Virginia Tech, Helu has seen his production slip dramatically, due in large part to lingering issues with a shoulder injury. Against Iowa State on Saturday, Helu rushed for a season-low 24 yards on a mere five carries and fumbled twice. On Monday, Helu wasn't afraid to take on some of the blame for Nebraska's recent offensive struggles. "It's me not playing the best I can," he said. "I take all the load on that, why we're not moving the ball and being productive." Finding someone to share that load with Helu hasn't been as easy as it was supposed to be entering the season. First, there was the dismissal of Quentin Castille in August. Then, freshman Rex Burk- head went down indefinitely with a broken right foot. It was that injury that prompted running backs coach Tim Beck to do something he'd hoped to avoid: pull freshman I-back Dontrayevous Robinson's redshirt. The move paid off against Iowa State, as Robinson was one of the few bright spots for the Huskers' offense on Saturday. In his first career game at I-back, Robinson led Nebraska with 77 rushing yards on 15 carries and scored Nebraska's only touchdown on a 3-yard run in the first quarter. He made his debut nearly four minutes into the game after Helu fumbled on the game's first play. "Dontrayevious came in and gave us some spark, and he's going to be a really good football player" offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said. "He's a freshman, so it was the first time he'd seen those kind of lights. Overall, we were pleased with his effort and how he worked in practice." 65 "He did really well for his first time," Helu said. "He's a good all-around back. He reminds me exactly of Quentin (Castille). He plays hard." Helu said the 6-foot-1,215-pound back has a bruising style similar to the player he expected to back him up this season.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS Bradford opts for season-ending surgery ASSOCIATED PRESS OU Sam Bradford addresses the media as he makes an official announcement that he is having season-end shoulder surgery, and plans to enter the NFL draft on Monday in Norman, OK. Freshland Landry Jones will continue to start at quarterback for the Sooners. By Jono Greco The Oklahoma Daily NORMAN, Okla. — His teammates stood behind in support, and head coach Bob Stoops sat in the wing with a smile on his face while Heisman-winner and junior quarterback Sam Bradford addressed the media Monday about his decision to opt for surgery and enter April's NFL Draft. "To make this decision and to realize that I've probably played my last game at Oklahoma is really tough," Bradford said. Bradford said surgery is the best option after sustaining two injuries to his right throwing shoulder, and if he does not have surgery, he would be at greater risk of a third injury. "The best was to try to let the shoulder heal itself," Bradford said about the initial prognosis. "We tried that, and it didn't heal. It's just something [doctors] feel as long as I keep trying to come back, it's just going to keep re-injuring when I take a hit." Bradford will undergo surgery on Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. "[Surgery is] pretty much going to repair the joint, put it back to normal and strengthen it." Bradford said. Of all of the moments Bradford has gone through since his Initial AC joint sprain Sept. 5 against Brigham Young, he said the most difficult thing was being in the locker room against Kansas knowing his storied tenure as a Sooner was over. "Last week was probably the hardest game I've ever had to sit on the sidelines," Bradford said. "Going into the locker room and seeing everyone celebrate, I just realized that I'm not going to be a part of that much more. It's pretty tough." Now Bradford passes on the ceremonial torch to redshirt freshman quarterback Landry Jones, who has started four games this season while Bradford was sidelined. "I think Landry's a great player," Bradford said. "He's been put into some really tough situations, and it's not easy coming in the middle of a game." Bradford said the thing he's been most impressed about Jones is the role he has taken over the past month. "I think he's just done a tremendous job, especially stepping up and being a leader of this team," Bradford said. "I just think it shows the tremendous upside that he has, and I think he's going to be a great player" THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE OCTOBER 30,2009 20 BIG 12 --- TEXAS LONGHORNS Whittaker stepping up for Longhorns 27 ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas running back Fosshwil Whittaker (28) dives into the end zone past Missouri defender Kevin Rutland at the end of an 11-yard touchdown run during the first quarter of their game last Saturday in Columbia, Mo. The Longhorns defeated the Tigers 41-7. By Michael Sherfield The Daily Texan AUSTIN, Texas — After a season spent shuffling running backs, the Longhorns have finally found the man to solve their running woes. Well, man-and-a-half. Junior Fozzy Whittaker is currently carrying the crown, aided in part by Cody Johnson, and he's provided the consistency and production the Texas offense missed early in the year. Whittaker, who was the preseason favorite to claim the starting tailback job after impressing the coaches in seven games last season, was hit by an injury for the second year in a row during camp. The injury cost him the first few games of the season and his place atop the depth chart as Vondrell McGee and Tre' Newton took turns as the starting running back. When McGee and Newton were injured against Colorado, Whittaker and Johnson stepped up against Oklahoma the following week. "Fozzy was injured, and he's just now getting healthy," said offensive coordinator Greg Davis. "Those two guys have stepped up and have separated themselves a little bit. As of right now, the Foz and Cody are the top two." The running game against the Sooners was the lone offensive bright spot, racking up 142 yards, including yardage lost in sacks by Colt McCoy, on the then-No. 3 rush defense in the country. "I think it's working well," said Texas head coach Mack Brown. "Cody's moving piles, he's in better shape, they're both taking care of the ball. They're as opposite as two guys can be. One's the smaller, quick, great vision. The other will run right over you. They're a really good one-two punch when you look at what we're doing. Fozzy is a really good receiver. We thought these two might be guys that might step up in the spring, but they both got hurt."

The Oklahoma State quarterback donned a white cap and a wide smile knowing his work was done for the day after leading No. 14 Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-0 Big 12) to a 34-7 victory against Baylor (3-4, 0-3 Big 12) on Saturday. Robinson had one of the most efficient games of his career against the Bears, tossing three touchdown passes and completing 23 of 27 passes. His 85 percent completion rate broke the school record of 77 percent set by coach Mike Gundy against Kansas in 1989. Robinson said after the game he has always felt confident against Baylor's defense. "Every time we play Baylor I always feel good about the game," he said. "The game just slows down. It almost felt like a scrimmage out there today." Completion percentage isn't the first record Robinson has taken from his coach, and Gundy said he hopes it isn't the last. "I hope he breaks them all," Gundy said. "We're very proud of him and obviously he's been a tremendous asset to our program and been a great leader for us this season." Other members of the offense also contributed in the absence of All-Americans Kendall Hunter and Dez Bryant. In the place of Hunter, Toston broke the 100-yard barrier for the second time this year with 109 yards and a touchdown on 15 attempts. Second string running back Beau Johnson took the majority of the carries with 22 on his way to a season-high 93 yards. All-American offensive lineman Russell Okung said he liked the way Oklahoma State came out and played physically all afternoon. "We want to work towards being the most physical, dominating unit on the field," he said. ("Toston) was running real hard and he had a lot of tough runs. As an offensive lineman, you appreciate that." Nine receivers caught passes in Bryant's absence. Receiver Hubert Aniyam continued to be productive, leading the team with 8 catches and 83 yards.

Robinson completed 23 of 27 passes for a school record 85 percent completion rate. TEXAS A&M AGGIES Offensive performance silences Aggies'critics By Brad Cox The Battalion COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The luster of a 52-30 win at Texas Tech had yet to wear off on Monday when Texas A&M coaches and players met with media members at the Bright Football Complex. "People outside this room might not have believed in us," said senior offensive lineman Michael Shumard. "We knew how hard we had worked, and we knew what we had, and we knew we would get going in the right direction eventually." Aggie coach Mike Sherman said the offensive line's performance Saturday was one of the best he had seen. The line was one of the most criticized positions during A&M's three-game losing streak as Sherman shuffled players around to find a winning combination. Shumard has defended the line in the past and called out some of the critics Monday. "I have friends that don't play football, and I heard a lot of them talking about 'Oh, we need a miracle' and stuff like that," he said. "They don't know what's been going on." Despite the negativity and the calls for Sherman's job preceding the game, Aggie fans were more than excited Saturday night when A&M knocked off the Red Raiders in Lubbock for the first time in 16 years. Few expected to see A&M play the way it did after losing to Kansas State 62-14 the previous week. "I don't know after watching the K-State game if I would have made that trip out to Lubbock myself," Sherman said. The Aggie celebration was far from over though. When the team arrived back in College Station later that night, a group of A&M fans were gathered at the Bright Football Complex to congratulate the team. Baylor falls to 3-4 after loss to Oklahoma State BAYLOR BEARS By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press WACO, Texas — Zac Robinson completed 23 of 27 passes for 250 yards with three touchdowns and No. 14 Oklahoma State stretched its winning streak to five games with a 34-7 victory against Baylor on Saturday. The Cowboys (6-1, 3-0 Big 12), who have won their last four games without injured running back Kendall Hunter or suspended receiver Dez Bryant, led 10-0 after their first two possessions. They made it 24-0 on Robinson's 19-yard touchdown to Cooper Bassett that capped an 87-yard drive to open the second half. Baylor (3-4, 0-3), which has a 20-game losing streak to ranked teams, has scored only 24 points in its Big 12 games. The Bears are 1-3 since standout sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin tore a ligament in his right knee a month ago. Oklahoma State, which plays No. 3 Texas at home next weekend, was again just fine without its top running back and top receiver from last season. Bobby Reid was 9-of-10 in a game against Baylor three years ago. Keith Toston ran for 109 yards and a 1-yard touchdown on 15 carries, and Beau Johnson added 93 yards on 22 carries. The Cowboys led 10-0 after the 22-yard touchdown catch by Wilson Youman, who grabbed the ball with both hands and bobbled it briefly before pulling it in and holding on when he was popped by safety Jordan Lake. David Gettis' 17-yard touchdown catch with 7:17 left kept Oklahoma State from getting its first shutout in a Big 12 game since 2001. Baylor, wearing all-gold uniforms for homecoming, was then in good shape after Terrance Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 44 yards. But freshman Nick Florence, who started instead of senior Blake Szymanski, threw an interception on the next play. Things don't get any easier for the Bears, whose next three games are against Nebraska, Missouri and Texas — a trio they are a combined 1-26 against in Big 12 play.
