Early spending by Senate not a worry
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
What appeared to have been an early spending spree in Student Senate was nothing more than business as usual, said treasurer Erin Pishny.
Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions.
Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said shed like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding.
"I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate."
SING OUT
Last year, Senate had approved $30,365 after two full sessions, or 26 percent of its unallocated account. Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate.
The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee.
Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee.
Despite the early spending spree. Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year.
"I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to
fund the projects that students have on campus."
SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday.
Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members.
Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success.
"We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward." Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating that vision and that purpose for you."
"As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said.
Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November.

Shining lights of Broadway come to Kansas, for a night

nroesler@kansan.com
The number one touring Broadway concert brought the bright lights and big stars to the Lied Center Thursday night in the show "100 Years of Broadway."
Lead singers from Broadway shows such as "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Cats," "Les Miserables" and "Wicked" performed some of the most recognizable songs in American
history. Although the show spans 100 years of Broadway classics, each song finds its place in today's society and popular culture.

"Broadway is inherently appealing," said Kevin Cook, a senior from Lenexa.
Director Neil Berg sat on stage, playing a grand piano to songs that span generations, connecting them to American history and American culture between each performance.

Last week, Tyler Clementi, a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman and gifted violist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in prison.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet's alarming potential as a means of tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's just a matter of when the next suicide's going to hit, when the next attack's going to hit," said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety.
Aftab said young people who would never bully someone face to face do it online in part because of the often-false sense of anonymity that the Internet provides.
Gregory Jantz, founder of A Place of Hope, a Seattle mental health care center, said young people who use the Internet to spread something damaging about others often don't realize how hurtful it can be because many of them have grown up in a world that has blurred the line between public and private.
"Our kids are in a different zone now," Jantz said.
The Associated Press found at least 12 cases in the U.S. since 2003 in which children and young adults between 11 and 18 killed themselves after falling victim to some form of "cyberbullying" — teasing, harassing or intimidating with pictures or words distributed online or via text message.
In probably the best-known case, 13-year-old Megan Meier of Daddenne Prairie, Mo., hanged herself in 2006 after she received messages on MySpace — supposedly from a teenage boy — cruelly dumping her. An adult neighbor was later found guilty of taking part in the hoax, but the conviction was overturned.
an online broadcast, and his privacy would have been respected and he might still have his life."
In Clementi's case, prosecutors said that his roommate, Dharun Ravi of Plainsboro, N.J., and Molly Wei of Princeton, N.J., both 18-year-old freshmen, transmitted a live image of Clementi having sex on Sept. 19 and that Ravi tried to webcast a second encounter on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi's suicide. Lawyers for Ravi and Wei did not return calls.

Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan said in a statement: "We will be making every effort to assess whether bias played a role in the incident, and, if so, we will bring appropriate charges."
Ravi posted a message on his now-closed Twitter account on Sept. 19: "Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude, Yay."
ate charges. A lawyer for Clementi's family did not respond to requests for comment on whether Clementi had come out to friends and family about his sexual orientation He also said the family had no comment.
Earlier this year, 17-year-old Alexis Pilkington of West Islip, N.Y., who had landed a college soccer scholarship, killed herself after receiving a stream of nasty messages.
"They'll also jump on because they don't want to be the next target," Aftab said.
Luanne Peterpaul, vice chairwoman of the gay rights group Garden State Equality and a former New Jersey prosecutor, said authorities might be able to pursue the case as a hate crime under state law if they are able to establish that the defendants acted because they believed Clementi was gay.

New Bollywood dance club fuses both Indian and American styles
THE Bollywood DANCE PROJECT
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
CONTRIBUTED GRAPHIC
The Bollywood Dance Project Club will host its first class tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the aerobics room at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The class is free and president Mahmood Khan advises anyone who is interested to come out.
"It's a form of self-expression and provides a lot of satisfaction," said Khan, a senior from Bangladesh. "Dancing has made me who I am."
Khan has been performing Bollywood shows in Kansas for five years. After several performances, Khan said many people expressed an interest in learning to dance in the Bollywood style. He sees his class as the bridge that can help people who are interested in the dance actually learn its unique form.
Club treasurer and class instructor Arooj Khalid has been good friends with Khan for several years, so she was right on board when Khan decided to start the class.
"We're hoping for people who are not into dancing too much — it's a beginners class," said Khalid, a junior from Islamabad. "We want people to come and have fun."
The premise of the club is to initially use Indian music to teach Bollywood dance. Once the basics of Bollywood are covered, Khan will start the second phase of the class, in which he plans to incorporate various types of American music and dance. Khan said he is considering hip hop but is open to anything that might fit with Bollywood.
"I want to experiment — dance Bollywood to American forms of music and take American forms of dancing and dance to Indian music," Khan said.
Sarah Gelvin, a senior from Overland Park, is excited for the opportunity to learn a new dance form.
"My best friend's mom is always watching Bollywood movies," Gelvin said. "So I have always been pretty interested in it, and now I have the opportunity to learn it."
For those who are unfamiliar, Bollywood is not a physical location, but a term that refers to the film industry in Mumbai, India.
Bollywood films often feature classical and folk styles of Indian
dance, and are sometimes blended with Western dance styles in more modern movies. Khan said Bollywood is Indian, but Indian movies
South Asia.
and songs cater to all cultures in
Amna Humayon, a junior from Fremont, Calif., and vice president of the club, said she was excited to help teach the class with Khan and Khalid and create their vision "of infusing different dance cultures together."
"I hope the visitors walk away with some feeling of satisfaction and want to come back for another class — just to expand their horizons and diversify their activities," Humayon said.
The club doesn't require any particular clothing. Just dress comfortably and bring an open-minded attitude.

Obama's chief of staff to leave office and enter mayoral race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO - White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is set to give up his influential national post Friday to begin a run for Chicago mayor, a job he has long coveted but won't win unless he persuades voters he's still one of them.
People close to Emanuel said he will fly home over the weekend and hit the streets Monday to talk to voters, after announcing his resignation Friday. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says only that President Barack Obama will make a "personnel announcement" Friday morning, but even his vague comments made it eminently clear Emanuel is leaving.
"He intends to run for mayor," one person close to Emanuel told The Associated Press, requesting anonymity to avoid pre-empting the announcement.
The move pits Emanuel, one of the most powerful men in the
nation, against a growing field of local politicians vying for the job that will be vacated next spring by Mayor Richard M. Daley, who announced last month that he will not seek a seventh term.
Emanuel's victory in the race is not a sure thing, with rivals certain to attack the longtime political operative and former congressman as a brusque outsider who belongs more to Pennsylvania Avenue than Michigan Avenue, more to the halls of Congress than City Hall.
Two people close to him said Thursday they did not know when Emanuel would officially declare he was entering the mayoral race, but that he would launch a website with a message to Chicago voters in the near future.
Emanuel has certainly left his mark on Washington, D.C., where his departure, expected by the political world ever since Daley's surprise announcement, remains an unquestioned loss for Obama.
Obama is expected to install senior adviser Pete Rouse, a calm White House presence with his own seasoned understanding of how Washington work, to serve as interim chief of staff. Gibbs said the president has "complete loyalty and trust" in Rouse, though he wouldn't confirm Rouse had been tapped for the interim post. The president is likely to choose a permanent chief of staff after the Nov. 2 midterm elections.
The president has counted on Emanuel's intensity, discipline and congressional relationships to keep the White House focused and aggressive. Holding a job with nearly unrivaled pressure and power, Emanuel has been true to form at the White House — a briskly moving political manager who is prone to profanity and driven to delivering on the president's directives.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A massive rainstorm drenched the East Coast from the Carolinas to Maine on Thursday, causing at least five deaths, flooding roads and washing away months of dry weather.
The worst of the rain fell in North Carolina, where Jacksonville picked up 12 inches — nearly a quarter of its typical annual rainfall — in the six hours. Four people, including two children, were killed when the sport utility vehicle they were traveling in skidded off a rain-slicked highway and tumbled into a ditch filled with water, North Carolina troopers said. A fifth victim likely drowned when his pickup veered off the road and into a river that was raging because of the rain.
The rain was part of a system moving ahead of the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, which dissipated over the Straits of Florida on Wednesday.
In Walpole, N.H., Erin Bickford said the deluge was a welcome sight for her eight acres of vegetables. She said she hoped the moisture also would recharge wells that went dry in the town.
"We had almost no rain at all. Often, we could see it raining across the river, but it didn't come here. It was just dust. Even if it did rain, it would be a tiny bit, maybe half an inch," she said.
North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Gary Edwards said troopers initially reported five people were killed in the
crash because two children, 3-year-old twins, did not have a pulse when emergency workers arrived on scene. However, rescuers were able to revive them and they were taken to a hospital alive. One of the twins later died, a news release from the patrol said.
Edwards said the family of five from Atlanta was traveling westbound on U.S. 64 east of Creswell around 12:20 p.m. when their Jeep Cherokee hit a patch of standing water, hydroplaned and skidded off the highway into the ditch.
The four killed were identified as the driver, Daniel Alvarez, 25; his wife, Natalie Owens, 26; Zacharia Alvarez, 3; and Ariela Alvarez, 1. Zacharia's twin, Ezekiel, was taken to a hospital in Greenville, N.C.
Baltimore Gas and Electric says approximately 40,000 of its Maryland customers have lost power.
Forecasters expected those heavy winds to spread up the coast, possibly toppling trees and power lines made unstable by the saturated ground.
The winds also were churning up big waves that were eating away at a "living shoreline" of rocks, sand and grasses built this year on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, said Bob Gilbert from his waterfront home in Churchton, about 10 miles south of Annapolis.
The rain caused several other wrecks Thursday, including a crash between two transit buses in Maryland that left 26 people hurt.
BROADWAY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
older generations, Broadway cannot survive without young people, he said. That is why Berg was excited to perform at the Lied Center and in front of college audiences generally — because of the energy younger people bring.
"We who are the life-blood of Broadway know that Broadway cannot survive unless young people come to the theater," Berg said.
Today other forms of musicals have captured the ears of many young fans. Shows such as "Glee" and movies such as "High School Musical" have brought a form of Broadway to a younger audience. Berg and Carter Calvert, one of the singers in the show, agree that these forms of musicals are nothing but good for Broadway.
"Shows like 'Glee' are popularizing this art form that has been around forever," said Calvert, who has been on Broadway for 10 years and has performed in shows such as "Cats."
"It's just making people aware of it." she said.
Flinn and Lounds agreed that shows like "Glee" can interest younger generations in the classic shows of Broadway — shows like "Grease."
Just 20 minutes into the show, all four of the cast members came out on stage to sing a rendition of "Grease Lighting." Calvert was approached coolly by a man in sunglasses — Rob Evan, who has performed in "Les Miserables" and is also the lead singer of the band Tran Siberian Orchestra. Evan asks her in an Elvis Presley voice if she wants to go for a ride in his car.
She replies, "You have a car?"
And just before the memorable tune of "Grease Lightning" begins, he replies in a deep and seductive voice.
"Yeah ... It's a hybrid."

Anderson Cooper to pitch new show
Anderson Cooper is looking to keep'em honest, even in the daytime.
The CNN host has inked a deal with Telepictures Productions and Warner Bros. Domestic Television for an hour-long daytime program to launch in fall 2011, according to a press release; it's expected to be pitched to stations in the upcoming weeks.
The show, targeting female viewers, will have a topical format — with subjects ranging from pop culture fair (LiLo, watch out!) to social issues and news stories. There might even be a guest or two (a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people) and hidden camera experiments.
"It's fun and interesting to work in daytime television," said Cooper, who will serve as an executive producer, in a statement. "The format is unique and you can really go in-depth on a wide range of fascinating and compelling stories. With this new program, I hope to relay important information and relate to people and the audience in a completely different way. It's an exciting opportunity to show another side of myself and create something worthwhile and special in daytime."
For fans of his nighttime gig, there's no need to start channel surfing.

Filmmaker gains audience online, loses ticket profits
Ian Vern Tan
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Greg Carter spent the last three years scraping together $250,000 to write, direct and produce "A Gangland Love Story," a gratty, urban retelling of "Romeo and Juliet."
Unfortunately, winning an audience has come at a steep price. The viewers of Carter's film watched it from pirate movie sites and never paid for it. Carter figures the unauthorized viewing has cost him as much as $100,000 in lost revenue, dashing hope that he'll ever see a profit.
"It feels like someone is walking into your house and stealing your furniture," said Carter, 38. "The big studios can absorb it, but guys like me, we are not millionaires. We're fighting like crazy for every dollar, every nickel, every penny just to survive in this marketplace."
Carter's case illustrates how movie piracy is undermining the small fry of Hollywood: the independent filmmakers, who have also been squeezed by tightening credit and fewer outlets for their work as the studios have retrenched from making specialty films.
Since its DVD release in July, audiences have embraced it: More than 60,000 viewers have watched the movie on the Internet, giving the independent filmmaker a coveted public following.
The Hollywood studios have for years warned that piracy harms their business, especially when copies of big summer movies leak out on the Internet and undercut ticket sales. But the alarms haven't elicited much sympathy among the public.

software has made it easy for consumers to watch movies and TV shows without paying the people who create them. Filmmakers like Carter, who typically can't afford the battery of lawyers to go after purveyors of unauthorized content, have been hit especially hard.
Some filmmakers and distributors are fighting back, hiring lawyers to file copyright infringement
their purchases of DVDs as legitimate online viewing options become readily available.
Most independent filmmakers don't rely on ticket sales to recoup their investment because the majority of their films never make it into theaters. Instead, independent films rely on DVD sales when their movies head directly into the home video market. But consumers have substantially cut back on
cases against websites that offer free movies, as well as against individuals suspected of illegally downloading from file-sharing services.
The most high-profile case involves "The Hurt Locker," which won six Oscars but earned only $16.4 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada, an unusually low gross for a best-picture winner. Some blamed the effects of online piracy — the movie was available on the Web months before its arrival in theaters. Voltage Pictures, the film's producer, obtained IP addresses for 5,000 people it claims shared the film illegally. Voltage is now suing them.
"More people downloaded the movie for free than actually paid for it," said Thomas Dunlap, who has filed copyright infringement lawsuits on behalf of more than a dozen indie filmmakers and distributors, including Voltage and Maverick Entertainment
following a similarly controversial tactic used by the Recording Industry Assn. of America several years ago in an effort to fight the piracy of music.

Some relief has come from the federal government. This summer, federal authorities seized domain names of nine websites — such as TVShack.net and ThePirateCity.org — that offered downloads of pirated movies and drew 6.7 million visitors a month. But, underscoring how difficult it is to crack on Internet piracy, a Dutch website that the government shut down popped up just days later under a slightly different name.
GREG CARTER
Filmmaker
Some filmmakers have taken matters into their own hands. Ellen Seidler, who teaches journalism at
UC Berkeley,
used her retirement savings and took out a second mortgage on her home to co-produce and co-direct her first film,
"And Then Came Lola," a lesbian romantic comedy that has played on the film festival circuit.

Since its DVD release in May, Seidler has discovered at least 2,000 different copies of the movie, some with subtitles in Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Turkish, and more than 25,000 illegal download links and streams to her film on various websites.
Seidler often spends several hours each day firing off e-mails and "take down" notices to websites that have free links to her film, often alongside advertising from legitimate companies such as Sony Corp., RadioShack Corp, and Netflix Inc. The links disappear only to reappear on another site. "It's like playing wack a mole," she said. "Sitting here watching our work getting taken away — it's just disheartening. We're independent artists and we're the ones who can least afford it."
"A Gangland Love Story" was released on DVD and on videoon-demand in late July and got write-ups in the Houston Chronicle and Voice of America.

Student voice needed in search for director
The search committee for Lew Perkins' replacement as athletics director has been formed
While the swift formation of this committee was a good move by the chancellor's office, the committee lacks an important member: a representative of the student body.
Ray Evans, the leader of the committee, said they wanted the group to be small and comprised of members who have had experience serving on a search committee or with hiring. people. Evans said it would have been tough to find a student with that kind of experience.
Though Evans is correct in his assumption that few students have a background in hiring someone for such a powerful position, it would not be the sole responsibility of the student to choose the new athletics director. They would merely serve as a voice speaking for the student body.
In a news release issued Sept. 17, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little named the committee's six members: Kenneth L. Audus, dean of the KU School of Pharmacy and professor of pharmaceutical chemistry; Linda Ellis Sims, an account executive

Perkins' replacement will not only serve as a representative of Kansas Athletics, he or she will also represent the University and its students. The opinion of the student body should be included in this important decision.
An appropriate representative of the student body would be a prominent member of student senate.

voices heard and their opinions included when the committee meets in the next few weeks and when the decision is eventually made to hire the new athletics director.

SEXUALITY
Safety cannot be neglected when deciding to have sex
O one of my readers criticized after my last column that I write about sex
but not enough about safety. Even though I've written on safe sex last semester, I should include important information about safe sex again. I agree.
I can't give details in every column, but each semester brings new students, and each student who decides to be sexually active needs to be aware that what is fun can quickly turn into a life-changing disaster.
We always like to think about the positive things that intimacy brings: affection, passion, desire and satisfaction. But sex is primarily something that most college students don't want at this young age: reproduction. Even when you're young, in love and just want to have fun, having sex can change your life forever.
Imagine the following: You spend a comfortable night at home with your partner, cuddle up to him, watch a movie, start kissing and making out. You really want to sleep with him, but you don't have a condom. Maybe, as a girl, you think you can't conceive at the moment because you just had your period and are not ovulating yet. Or, as a guy, you think you can just mess around a little but not go

through with it until the end. Next thing you know, you're standing in the drugstore buying a pregnancy test because you, or your girlfriend, are late. Your life could just have changed forever.
BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI
Which brings me to another question: Who is responsible for safety, men or women? Some say women because they bear the consequences of getting pregnant. They should use the pill, vaginal
Whatever option you choose after getting pregnant, it will be worse than worrying about safe sex. But it affects everyone who is sexually active, whether man or woman.
There is only one right answer: both. Those who make the decision to have sex also make the decision to prevent pregnancy and infection.
ring or any of the other options for women. Some say men because they wear the condoms and only condoms can prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
I recently talked to a male friend about a woman's options of birth control. I asked him what he thought would be the best option for women. But he referred me to a female friend for that kind of conversation. I wondered if that reaction was due to lack of interest or lack of information.
In the end, knowing what possibilities women have for birth control also affects men because it saves both from negative consequences. Don't think of women as "the responsible ones" or those who "take care of it." We can all make mistakes or be negligent. But this negligence can quickly lead to pain and suffering. It can change your life forever.

HEALTH
Pursuit of health ideal led to pain for self and others
Few people set out with goals to hurt others. Yet, as history has repeatedly shown, it happens.
Aside even from the world's most memorable events of evil, smaller cases of wrongdoing happen day after day, year after year.
Unlike Hitler, who undoubtedly had a moment where he thought,"Hmm, maybe this isn't such a good idea," the majority of pain-infliction happen with otherwise good intentions.
I know this, because I've been there. Although the pain I caused was less than that of a holocaust or genocide, it was still very real.
Instead of getting stronger and fitter, I was getting weaker. Yet, I continued to preach of healthfulness.
Last year, I got very hung up on the idea of "being healthy." I listened to all of the nutritional advice, attempted all the exercise tips and pushed my body to its limit. Then, I turned around and offered advice to others on how to be similarly "healthy."
Pursuit of Healthfulnes
But, somewhere along the way, I passed the boundaries of healthfulness and crossed into dangerous territory.
Consequently, not only was I hurting myself but I was certainly hurting the self-esteem and confidence of those around me.
Even worse, I was hurting my friends and family. These people were forced to witness to all of

this, yet were helpless in taking action.
Since that time, I've taken a step back and assessed what's important in life. From this reflection, I've come to recognize that health is and will always be important to me. However, I've also recognized that I never should sacrifice the pursuit of healthfulness for the pursuit of happiness.
It was only when I was shocked very harshly back into reality, that I realized just how wrong my perception of health had become.
After all, Thomas Jefferson was a smarter man than I.
Not everyone will face the same issues as me—or so I hope. Unfortunately, I'm sure that everyone will face challenges of some kind.
This isn't a sentence to a life of pain or an excuse to feel self-pity. Instead, the torment we all experience is an opportunity. Reflect on it, learn from it and grow because of it. Then, pass the lesson on.

Internet wiretaps the wrong step
On April 7, 2009, about 10,000 young Moldovans charged forth, weapons in hand, and set flame to Moldova's parliament building, after a Communist Party victory. With the utilization of Twitter, e-mail and Facebook, the young people were able to assemble quickly and leave authorities stunned by the seemingly sudden appearance of thousands of protesters.
In reaction to the "Twitter Revolution," as it was called in The Washington Post, Internet service in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, was immediately cut off. The United States, while free of Communist reign for the moment, intends to emulate this practice of tapping into virtual methods of communication.
According to a recent article in The New York Times, "officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications – including encrypted e-mail transmitters like Black-Berry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct 'peer to peer' messaging like Skype – to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order."
Idealistically, if taking this step would aid the U.S. government in more successfully wiretapping and monitoring criminal and terrorism suspects, as it argues that its ability to do so is suffering, then inviting the
government into all Blackberry conversations might be acceptable to U.S. citizens. However, just like Communism, the idea may appeal on paper but, in practice, presents a dangerous opportunity for the government to abuse its power and step on the rights of its citizens.
Video chats, Bbm (Blackberry Messenger), text messages, Twitter, Facebook and e-mails have become as personal as letters once were, if not more so - by tapping into their content, the government would be changing the relationship people have created with these methods of communication.
While the government argues the safety benefits of wiretapping the digital world, allowing it to take this initial step presents the constant fear that it could exploit this new power, attacking the most minute of issues such as locating parties with underage drinking.
Although there are clearly larger issues the U.S. government needs to tackle, it boils down to holding onto the small shred of privacy, real or imagined, that is possible in today's interconnected world.

Road to get tougher at Wisconsin Adidas Invitational
BY LAUREN NEWMAN
lnewman@kansan.com
The men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Madison, Wis., for the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Saturday. The Jayhawks will see a much higher level of competition, including a handful of nationally ranked teams, than in their past two meets.

two meetings.
Some of the Big 12 teams that will be competing against Kansas are Nebraska and Texas A&M. The men's 8K race will begin at 11 a.m. and the women's 5K race will begin shortly after 11:45 a.m.
Junior captain Donny Wasinger won't be too far from home when competing at the Invitational. His hometown of Wiona, Minn., is just three hours away, and he is excited to see his family and old high school track coaches that will be there to cheer him along.
Wasinger has confidence in the men's team this Saturday and doesn't think that its two-week break from competing will affect its performance.

"The workouts have been intense enough and we've been

Although confident, he knows that there will be some tough competition at this upcoming meet. The team's plan is to not focus on one team but to focus on feeding off each other.

James sticks by comments on race
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. — Miami Heat forward LeBron James didn't back away Thursday from comments he made during a CNN interview about race playing a factor in the backlash from his decision to leave Cleveland.
Speaking after Thursday's training camp practice, James said too much was being made of his comments to CNN during an interview that was conducted Monday during the Heat's media day at the University of Miami but aired Wednesday night.
James and longtime business manager Maverick Carter both said they believed race played a role in some of the apparent dislike for James in the aftermath of his move in free agency to the Heat. James announced the decision on a much criticized hour-long ESPN special July 8. James, an Akon, Ohio, native, spent his first seven NBA seasons in Cleveland, which chose him with the No.1 pick in 2003.
"I'm not going to go back on my words," James said Thursday before he attempted to dismiss the issue. "Sometimes (race) does play a part. People are looking too far into it. I said what I had to say (Monday) and I'll continue to move on."
CNN on Monday, James and Carter were asked if they thought race played a role in James' popularity taking a significant hit in the months since joined Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form arguably the league's most polarizing team.
the league James was later voted among one of the world's most disliked sports figures based on a poll by the Q Scores Company last month. According to the Q score, James' support drastically dwindled among white fans but only slightly dipped among African-American followers.
Neither James nor Carter suggested race was a significant factor, but did believe it played a role in how James recently has been perceived.
"I think so at times," James said during CNN's interview. "It's always, you know, a race factor."
Among some of the most vocal critics of James, however, have been African-American sports icons, including Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who is white, was fined $100,000 by the NBA in July for offensive statements he made about James's departure.

some white fans burning replicas of James' No. 23 Cavs jerseys in Cleveland.
Cleveland. James initially took exception to the views of those three Hall of Fame players. But James also said Monday that he respects Jordan, Barkley and Johnson and credited them with paving the way for current players. James said he has not talked to Gilbert since signing with Miami.
Since training camp practices started Tuesday at the Hulburt Field's Air Force Base, James repeatedly has declined to talk about the events that played out in summer free agency. But he quickly addressed the CNN interview and shifted to other topics.
suffered to other teammates and coaches came to James' defense, but also made it clear that the issue hasn't been a distraction during training camp.
Asked about James' comments after Thursday's practice, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he couldn't imagine how James felt about the backlash.
"I don't walk in LeBron's shoes," Spoelstra said. "From our stand-point, we've moved on from the summer."
summar Bosh also made a bold decision to leave Toronto after seven seasons and was criticized by some team officials on his way to Miami.

KU KICKOFF AT A GLANCE
The Kansas football team travels to Waco, Texas to open Big 12 play against the Baylor Bears. It will be the second of four true road matchups this season for the Jayhawks, who lost to Southern Miss 31-16 in their last away game on Sept. 17. The Baylor offense is led by sophomore Robert Griffin III, arguably the best quarterback in the Big 12, and he should test a Kansas pass defense which has been very impressive so far this season.

the junior from Mesquite, Texas, the game will be a homecoming of sorts as he takes the field in his home state for the only time this season. Not only will Patterson have friends in the stands, but he is also familiar with many players on the Bears' roster. He should be extra-motivated this Saturday.
QUESTION MARK
How will the offense communicate on the road?
On their last road trip to Hattiesburg, Miss., the offense looked dysfunctional and unable to get a play called on the most critical downs in the game. Last Saturday against New Mexico State, the Jayhawks were able to conserve their timeouts and open up the offensive play book. This Saturday will be a true test to how this Kansas team will perform in hostile environments, both on offense and defense.
BY THE NUMBERS

In their three wins this season (vs. Sam Houston State, Buffalo, at Rice), the Baylor defense has allowed only one touchdown.

The

performance of the offensive line will be critical against Baylor. Webb was not sacked against the Aggies last Saturday, but New Mexico State ranks last in the nation with no sacks.
DEFENSE
PETER HARDY
The Kansas pass defense ranks sixth in the nation and has held opponents to less than 60 percent completed passes this season. However, the lack of a pass rush continues to be the glaring hole in the defensive unit. Senior defensive end Jake Laptad has been almost invisible this season and the Jayhawks were unable to get a single sack against

New Mexico State. If the Jayhawks are to make noise during Big 12 play this season, it will be because their more experience defense contained the new look, run-first Big 12.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The kickoff coverage squad allowed four returns of 40 or more yards Saturday against the Aggies, putting their defense in a tough spot over and over again.
COACHING
Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush is concerned about containing Griffin, but said the team would be foolish to focus all its attention on the sophomore quarterback. "Schematically, you need to understand if you make a miss on Griffin, instead of being a 10-yard gain it is going to be a touchdown or a long play," Torbush said. "You can not just
A. V. K.
Torbush
sit there and worry about him. If you put three or four guys on him they have wide receivers that can take it to the house in one on one situations."
MOMENTUM
Both teams are coming off big wins against lesser opponents, but Kansas may have the momentum because they have grown more than the Bears since the first week of the season. All you can ask from a first year coach is progress throughout a season, and Gill delivered that last week. Regression would kill any momentum and good will the Jayhawks have built up in their two home wins this season.

DEFENSE

The Baylor defense has dominated three of the four games they've had this year. They've allowed only 16.8 points to opponents, which ranks 30th in FBS.

The Jayhawks get their first road win and upset the favored Bears in Waco. Anything short of a win would be a disappointment for a team that looked to be clicking on all cylinders last week. Behes needs at least 10 total touches, and if Kansas controls the ball as well as they already have under Webb, they could pull one out in their only visit to the Lone Star State.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Freshman place kicker Aaron Jones had a busy week last Saturday in Baylor's 30-13 win against Rice. He made three of four field goals attempted and kicked three extra points. On the season, he's made eight of ten field goals, including two 48 yard field goals. Senior punter Derek Epperson is averaging 44.8 yards per punt this season. He is rated the nations second best punter by Phil Steele and has been twice been an All-Big 12 selection and once an honorable mention All-America punter.
COACHING
The Bears are led by third year coach Art Briles. Briles came to Baylor in 2007 after being the head coach at the University of Houston from 2003-07. Although his record at Baylor is only 8-16, he is generally perceived to have laid a solid foundation at the school which will lead to future success.
PETER KENNEDY
Briles
MOMENTUM
Baylor started the season off winning its first two games against Sam Houston State and Buffalo by a combined score of 68-9. They were beat by 35 points against a talented Texas Christian University team but bounced back with a 17 point victory last week against Rice. Baylor will be playing a tough schedule that includes every other Big 12 South team and will surely be looking to capitalize on opportunities against the weaker Big 12 North teams.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Max Vosburgh
Last week's stomping of New Mexico State was a mirage. If the Jayhawks lose and begin Big 12 play 0-1, the fan base could lose interest very quickly. After all, many Jayhawk fans already have an internal clock counting down to basketball season. The worst possible scenario would be if fans stop caring when the Jayhawks lose. In sports, apathy is worse than frustration.
BU KICKOFF AT A GLANCE
Baylor is 3-1 on the year. Its lone defeat was an embarrassing performance against TCU Sept. 18 which they lost 45-10. Besides that game, they have won decisively. Kansas will be looking to start Big 12 play with a win but unfortunately its schedule pits them against a Big 12 South team that isn't looking to waste any opportunities in weeks they aren't playing the tough Big 12 South teams. The Bears should be able to handle an inconsistent Jayhawk team, but in a somewhat close game.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior wide receiver Kendall Wright

and 11 touchdowns. Last week against Rice, he had seven receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown.
QUESTION MARK
How will Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III do against a Kansas secondary that has been surprisingly efficient against the pass?
The Jayhawk secondary has only given up an average of 128.5 pass yards per game against opposing quarterbacks. Griffin has averaged 242.75 pass yards per game so far this year, over 100 more yards than what the Jayhawk defense has given up. Griffin will be the most talented quarterback Kansas has faced this year and will be looking to have a big game in the Big 12 opener.

Kansas readies for Texas Tech after Mizzou victory
BY SARAH KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
With one player out, another with a leg brace and much switching of starting positions, the jayhawks have seen it all. However, the team united to defeat Missouri 3-1 after the challenging past few weeks.

weeks
Sophomore defensive specialist Brianne Riley sat out Wednesday's game because she wasn't physically able to play, said coach Bechard, but
if all goes well she should be back in time for the Jayhawks' up coming game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday.
"When a player gets hurt
it's always a little shake up for the team but she is very supportive and she'll be back," senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said of Riley.
Freshman defensive specialist Jamie Mathieu, who usually plays alongside Riley, picked up the slack and helped the team with six digs in the first set and four in the second. Standing at five feet, Mathieu was not afraid of the challenge that comes with playing a full game of volleyball.
Garlington described Mathieu as "a firecracker with such a game face," adding, "She never lets anybody push her around."
The team has to work fluidly no matter who is
Senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser was seen more than usual in the game against Missouri as well. The brace on her leg, which is said to be for stability on her "hitter's leg," didn't seem to bother her. She had six kills in the first set, followed with two in the second, and totalling 16 in all four with no errors.
Garlington and freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc worked together in the front row, attacking anything that came over the net. Easy floaters and free balls over the net met a furious response from the duo, who not only returned them immediately, but attacked them without being set up for multiple kills.

"We saw her in warm-up. You could tell after a few swings she had a great rhythm tonight," coach Bechard said.
"We needed to get our game on. We knew what we needed to do and we came out here and did it." Garlington said, "I wanted to get a win for my team and my team wanted to get a win for Kansas volleyball, so we got it done."

She had contributed eight digs and 10 kills with only two errors for a .242 hitting efficiency.

With the score at 19-17, Missouri began creeping toward the Jayhawks, with no luck. At 21-18, Garlington helped the beginning of the pull-away by the Jayhawks. Mathieu's digs were
furious, totaling eight in the fourth set alone, bringing her game total to 23. The jayhawks' overall offensive play was staggering, outdigging Missouri by 12 balls, with a sideout percentage of 66, described by coach Bechard as exceptional. A combined save by Garlington and Tate led to freshman outside hitter Amy Whores serving with a score of 24-21, and ace to win the match.
The team worked through the hodgepodge of players with a few
errors, but overall working hard to show teamwork and unity. While the Tigers were sent back to their den, the Red Raiders are not being overlooked.
"Losing a disappointing Game 3, we came back in Game 4. After a letdown we bounced right back and played extremely well," coach Bechard said.

Toronto Blue Jays' victory over Yankees does manager Gaston proud
TORONTO — Aaron Hill hit a three-run homer, John Buck and Travis Snider added solo drives and the Toronto Blue Jays gave retiring manager Cito Gaston a winning send-off in his home finale, beating the New York Yankees 8-4 Wednesday night.
The Yankees remained a half game behind Tampa Bay in the
AL East race. The Rays lost 2-0 to Baltimore.
Alex Rodriguez homered for the Yankees, giving him 13 straight years with 30 home runs and 100 RBIs.
Toronto leads baseball with 247 home runs, the fifth-highest single season total in major league history. Seattle hit a record 264 in 1997.
Hill drove in four runs as the Blue Jays won for the sixth time in seven
games. The Yankees, already assured a playoff spot, saw Javier Vazquez (10-10) get tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 42-3 innings.
Gaston guided the Blue Jays to their first two World Series champions.
onships in 1992 and 1993. He managed Toronto through 1997, was hitting coach in 2000 and 2001 and returned as manager in June 2008.

'NHL 11' tops all sports games
MORNING BREW
anything to me.
Now that my on-ice hockey career is over, there are only two hockey related dates that really mean
The first is the start of the NHL season. The second is the annual release of the EA Sports NHL series.
EA's NHL franchise has never disappointed and the latest edition — "NHL 11" — is, I dare say, the best sports game ever made.
PENN STATE COLLEGE
Fans of Madden, relax; I still love running the flea flicker with Philly and Michael Vick. But that doesn't come close to the non-stop action rush I get from breaking the puck out of my zone with the Blackhawks' Duncan Keith.
The adjustments made for "NHL.11" make it more realistic than any other sports/hockey game out there. Never mind the graphics, those are a given. (You can clearly see the players' reflections in the ice!) What made the difference for me were the new passing, deke and hitting features.
there will be behind your pass when you let go. Also, aiming your passes are a must. Don't be surprised if passing to the wrong player — which can happen very easily — destroys an arrant breakaway pass.
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
The new dekes make this game more advanced than any previous one. In editions past, if a defensive player was to dive on the ice, you had no way to get away still with the puck. Now players on offense can counteract this scheme by hurdling the defenseman and safely continuing a drive to the net.
EA switched to a more FIFA-like passing style in this game. The longer you hold down the pass button, the more force
Hitting has been revolutionized as well, starting with the addition of the hip check. Players can now be 'table-topped', sending them spiraling into the air. I've been playing the game a couple of weeks now, and every time you see this hit, all you can do is just say, "Wow." Along with the hip check, the game is set up so that no two hits are alike. Players react differently to each hit, giving the game a much more intense feel.
THE MORNING BREW
This game is one that fans of sports should own, regardless if they have any knowledge of hockey at all or not.

ESPN analyst avoids jail time
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — ESPN sports personality lay Mariotti pleaded no contest Thursday to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence in connection with an incident in August in which police said he grabbed and pushed his girlfriend.
As part of a deal reached with the Los Angeles city attorney's office, Los Angeles County Court Commissioner John Green agreed to dismiss the remaining six misdemeanor counts against Mariotti that included four domestic-violence related counts, grand theft and false imprisonment.
this matter behind him and is anxious to get back to work," said Mariotti's attorney, Nick Hanna. "While we are confident he would have prevailed at trial, the process would have been long and expensive. Today's resolution — a no-contest plea to a low-level misdemeanor with all of the other charges dismissed — ends the matter once and for all."

Mariotti avoids jail time and was instead placed on three years' probation and required to perform 40 days of community labor, said Frank Mateljian, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office.

Giants beat Arizona one win from title
SAN FRANCISCO — Pablo Sandoval hit a splash shot into McCovey Cove, Andres Torres and Buster Posey also homered and the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat Arizona 4-1 Thursday. leaving them just one win away from the division title.
San Francisco began the day with a two-game edge over San Diego, which later hosted the Chicago Cubs.
The Giants completed a three-game sweep, won for the eighth time in 10 games and cut their magic number to two. They need to beat visiting San Diego only once in their season-ending, three-game series to claim their first division crown and playoff berth since 2003.
Matt Cain starts Friday night's series opener for San Francisco. It could be to clinch — and it's expected to be an electrifying scene at AT&T Park for all three sold-out games.

Baylor (3-1) is led by sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin III, a speedy player still trying to get his legs back after a serious knee injury last year. Containing the versatile quarterback will be a key to victory in the Jayhawks' first conference game of the season, said coach Turner Gill.
The Kansas pass defense is ranked sixth in the country, an impressive feat considering the amount of time opposing quarterbacks have had in the pocket. The Jayhawk defense has recorded only three sacks this season none from their front four and rank 114th in the nation in that statistic.

Squad to face two Texas teams this weekend

Last weekend, the Kansas (4-6 overall, 0-2 Big 12) lost to Missouri (3-4-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12) and Iowa State (6-3-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12).

COMMENTARY
Recruiting misses no problem for Self, KU
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDKbasketball
Cross another name off the list. For a little while it looked like Kansas had a legitimate shot at a John Calipari good recruiting class. (I'm not saying I like the guy, but his recruiting classes are insane.)
But then the big-name recruits started choosing other schools. Bradley Beal, a St. Louis native and the No. 8 prospect in the country, started it off 10 months ago when he picked Florida over the Jayhawks.
Then, in the last couple weeks, two more top-10 recruits have turned their backs on the Jayhawks. No. 1 overall recruit Austin Rivers was always a Duke lean, but he had been very complimentary of Kansas, especially recently. On Sept. 18, Bill Self visited Rivers in his Winter Park home and Rivers told Rivals.com that they had a great time. He assured Rivals.com's Shay Wildeboor that he would be visiting Kansas before he made a decision. He set the visit date for homecoming weekend. Oct. 22.
Then he committed to Duke Thursday morning.
Naadir Tharpe, the 91st-rated recruit in the country, can expect a visit from Self as soon as Monday, Wildeboor said. Tharpe plays his high school ball at Wolfeboro in New Hampshire, the same school sophomore Thomas Robinson graduated from.
Point guard Josiah Turner, the No. 10 player in the class, was always supposed to be a Kansas lean. He was supposed to be the guy that stepped in after Josh Selby (assuming Selby does what every other No. 1 overall recruit has done and goes pro as soon as possible). He won't be, Turner committed to Arizona a little more than a week ago.
Wildeboor said assistant coach Kurtis Townsend visited Cook last week and was there either yesterday or would be again soon.
There's also plenty of talent left on the board. Sure, it would have been nice for the Jayhawks to bring Rivers or Turner to Lawrence, but they're getting serious looks from a lot of the top talent still around.
Remember the class of 2008?
There wasn't a single five-star recruit in the group. Now there's a legitimate candidate for the Naismith Award (Marcus Morris) and two other potential first round draft picks (Markieff Morris and Tyshawn Taylor). Mario Little and Travis Releford will see serious playing time this year and could see their stock rise high enough to get drafted as well.
Quinn Cook, a point guard ranked No. 28, is late to the party — the Jayhawks only jumped on his recruitment when Turner chose the Arizona variety of Wildcat — but is reportedly listening very hard to Self's sales pitch.
This isn't to say Kansas is cooked in the recruiting market this year. The Jayhawks, quite to the contrary, should be expected to pull off a top-20 class, like they do seemingly every year. Bill Self is notorious for snagging late commitments from quality players (Selby, Xavier Henry, etc.) and I'd be surprised if he didn't again this year.
LeBryan Nash, a small forward ranked No. 4 nationally, put Kansas in his final three recently.
That's a heck of a worst case scenario.

City project aims to clear game-day traffic
Remote-controlled traffic lights will help problem areas
BY GARTH SEARS
gsears@kansan.com
Game days at Memorial Stadium are filled with traditions: tailgating, waving the wheat, parties and bumper-to-bumper traffic.
With around 50,000 people descending on Memorial Stadium each home game, traffic jams are inevitable.
"It's beyond the capacity of any road system," city engineer Shoeb Uddin said. "That's just the reality of it."
But the city is starting a $500,000 project this fall that will help alleviate game day traffic jams and allow the city to respond to traffic issues quicker in problem areas.
On Sixth Street, the cable will start at Massachusetts Street and go west to Iowa Street. There, the cable turns south, and every light on Iowa Street between Sixth and 23rd streets will be changed, too. In all, about a dozen lights will become remote-controlled.
The city will be installing fiberoptic cable along Sixth Street and Iowa Street and making the street lights there remote-controlled by the end of March.
Right now, the only way for the city to adjust the timing of a light is to send someone to change the timer at the intersection. After the project, the city will be able to control those lights from anywhere, even from an engineer's home late at night.
When there is an accident or a major change from normal traffic - 50,000 people attending a football game, for instance - the city will adjust the timers on the traffic lights to decrease congestion.
There will initially be six cameras installed at some of the intersees

tions so the city can monitor the traffic in real time.
After games at Memorial Stadium, 50,000 people leave in all directions. The campus cradles the stadium all along the south, making traffic escape that way difficult.
Many cars move southwest with the eventual goal of getting to Iowa Street. For those cars, the light at 15th and Iowa streets would be
2.
Traffic can also move north, where a large portion of the crowd walks and parks for a game. The "state streets" — Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine and Missouri streets — are the only direct path for someone at the stadium to get to Ninth Street for escape. For those cars, the lights further north along Sixth Street and the one at Ninth and Iowa streets would be remote-controlled.

For one, she says, the term evokes "C.S.I." comparisons and she's quick to preface that Kansas Athletics — the department she is tasked with analyzing — is not a crime scene.
"I'm very used to people taking the word 'auditor' and being afraid of that and kind of being shut down to that," she said. "So part of my job is to educate people on what I do and what I can do for you."
Brenda Muirhead is careful when discussing her new job title, forensic auditor.
Muirhead began the job Sept. 13 — three days after leaving the Legislative Post Audit, the audit agency of the Kansas government. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created the position as one of her steps toward increasing transparency of the Athletics Department after a year of unsavory headlines.

Squad to face two Texas teams this weekend
BY MIKE LAVIERI

The soccer team is looking to rebound after a disappointing opening to its conference schedule.
Last weekend, the Kansas (4-6 overall, 0-2 Big 12) lost to Missouri (3-4-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12) and Iowa State (6-3-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12).
Coach Mark Francis was not pleased with his team's play.
"Last week, practice was really bad, consequently we didn't play well on the weekend," Francis said.
Francis thought the team competed pretty well in both games, but thought the overall composition was poor.
Kansas opens up a four-game homestand when the Jayhawks play No. 10 Texas A&M (8-3 overall, 1-1 Big 12) on Friday and Texas (6-2-2 overall, 0-1-1), who also received votes in the NSCA4 poll, on Sunday.

Recruiting misses no problem for Self, KU
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDKbasketball
Cross another name off the list. For a little while it looked like Kansas had a legitimate shot at a John Calipari-good recruiting class. (I'm not saying I like the guy, but his recruiting classes are insane.)
But then the big-name recruits started choosing other schools. Bradley Beal, a St. Louis native and the No. 8 prospect in the country, started it off 10 months ago when he picked Florida over the Jayhawks.
Then, in the last couple weeks, two more top-10 recruits have turned their backs on the Jayhawks. No. 1 overall recruit Austin Rivers was always a Duke lean, but he had been very complimentary of Kansas, especially recently. On Sept. 18, Bill Self visited Rivers in his Winter Park home and Rivers told Rivals.com that they had a great time. He assured Rivals.com's Shay Wildeboor that he would be visiting Kansas before he made a decision. He set the visit date for homecoming weekend, Oct. 22.
Then he committed to Duke Thursday morning.
Point guard Josiah Turner, the No. 10 player in the class, was always supposed to be a Kansas lean. He was supposed to be the guy that stepped in after Josh Selby (assuming Selby does what every other No. 1 overall recruit has done and goes pro as soon as possible). He won't be. Turner committed to Arizona a little more than a week ago.
This isn't to say Kansas is cooked in the recruiting market this year. The lajhawks, quite to the contrary, should be expected to pull off a top-20 class, like they do seemingly every year. Bill Self is notorious for snagging late commitments from quality players (Selby, Xavier Henry, etc.) and I'd be surprised if he didn't again this year.
Quinn Cook, a point guard ranked No.28, is late to the party — the Jayhawks only jumped on his recruitment when Turner chose the Arizona variety of Wildcat — but is reportedly listening very hard to Self's sales pitch.
There's also plenty of talent left on the board. Sure, it would have been nice for the Jayhawks to bring Rivers or Turner to Lawrence, but they're getting serious looks from a lot of the top talent still around.
LeBryan Nash, a small forward ranked No. 4 nationally, put Kansas in his final three recently.
Naadir Tharpe, the 91st-rated recruit in the country, can expect a visit from Self as soon as Monday, Wildeboor said. Tharpe plays his high school ball at Wolfeboro in New Hampshire, the same school sophomore Thomas Robinson graduated from.
Wildeboor said assistant coach Kurtis Townsend visited Cook last week and was there either yesterday or would be again soon.
Remember the class of 2008?
There wasn't a single five-star recruit in the group. Now there's a legitimate candidate for the Naismith Award (Marcus Morris) and two other potential first round draft picks (Markieff Morris and Tyshawn Taylor). Mario Little and Travis Releford will see serious playing time this year and could see their stock rise high enough to get drafted as well.
That's a heck of a worst case scenario.

City project aims to clear game-day traffic
Remote-controlled traffic lights will help problem areas
BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com
Game days at Memorial Stadium are filled with traditions; tailgating, waving the wheat, parties and bumper-to-bumper traffic.
With around 50,000 people descending on Memorial Stadium each home game, traffic jams are inevitable.
"It's beyond the capacity of any road system," city engineer Shoeb Uddin said. "That's just the reality of it."
But the city is starting a $500,000 project this fall that will help alleviate game day traffic jams and allow the city to respond to traffic issues quicker in problem areas.

Clothing drive collects business attire for students
It's a sad day for some college students when they must trade in their beloved wardrobe of T-shirts and tennis shoes for one of fancy suits and leather shoes. The price tag attached to making the switch renders the process even more painful. With the average cost of today's professional wardrobe costing several hundred dollars, entering the real world has the potential to put a giant hole in the pockets of young professionals. This cost is one of the factors that pushed Delta Epsilon lota to host a professional clothing drive at the University.
BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com
Donations will be accepted at eight locations on campus.
"On average a wardrobe can cost about $100 to $150," said Erin Wolfram, staff advisor of Delta Epsilon Iota, a career-focused honor society. "That's minimal though, a lot of times they can be at an upwards of $300."
"We're looking to collect different types of business attire," said Nate Phillips, DEI president. "Ties, jackets, slacks — we're open to pretty much all types of professional clothing except shoes."
The drive began Oct. 1 and runs throughout the month of October.
DEI came up with the idea for the drive after hearing about a similar program at Kansas State University. The idea is to use the clothing collected to open a professional clothing closet next semester in the University Career
Center Offices in room 110 of the Burge Union.
"With the closet we'll make an inventory of everything that we've collected and then organize it by type and size," Phillips said. "If a student comes in and finds something that they can use, it's theirs to keep."
When the closet opens next semester, it will be staffed by UCC workers and DEI volunteers and allow students to come in during the week and pick a total of five clothing
items at a time.
"We're going to have the closet open during our normal 9 to 5 hours throughout the week but then have extended hours before business fairs and other events," Wolfram said.
professional clothing closet will help make finding a job in today's economy a bit easier for KU students.

"The way you dress is a large part of making a good impression during an interview to land a job," Phillips said. "Everyone should

Douglas County United Way representatives had an unexpected message for students at their KU kickoff campaign last Friday: Beat Mizzou.
As part of the campaign's goal to raise $285,000 this year at the University, the KU division of United Way has organized a T-shirt sale challenge with its contacts at the University of Missouri and Kansas State University.
Beverly Billings, the 2010 campaign chairwoman for the United Way of Douglas County, said she hopes that the University will come out with renewed enthusiasm to donate after being soundly outraised by the Missouri division last year.
"These are two great causes," Billings said. "Beating our competitors and raising money for United Way."
The money that is made from the challenge and the overall campaign will go to 24 nonprofit partner organizations throughout Douglas County. These organizations include the American Red Cross, the Boys and Girls Club and Meals On Wheels. Last year, the United Way helped provide services to more than 60,000 people in the county.
In addition to raising $285,000 this year, the KU division of the United Way has a second main goal of increasing participation in the campaign. Last year, the University was second-to-last among Big 12 universities with a 14 percent participation rate.
While that percentage is not reflective of the total amount donated last year, organizers still would like to see it improve to at least 25 percent.
Mary Ellen Kondrat, dean of the School of Social Welfare and
chairwoman of the KU United Way Committee, said sometimes people don't give because they mistakenly believe that a small contribution won't make a difference. The United Way is trying to emphasize that this isn't the case.
"Every little bit adds up, every donation is significant and important," Kondrat
tant," Kondrat said.
Many students play an important role in the KU United Way campaign each year. Some participate by volunteering with the 24 partner organizations
involved in the community. He has worked with several of United Way's partner agencies in the past, including the Boy Scouts of America and Ballard Community Services.
"It's great now to be able to help the supporter of all of these Lawrence groups," joyce said.
"Every little bit adds up every donation is significant and important."
MARY ELLEN KONDRAT Dean, School of Social Welfare
and others take part in the Rock Chalk Revue performance in the spring. The annual revue raised more than $45,000 for United Way last year.
Alek Joyce, a freshman from Lawrence and a United Way volunteer, said he's always tried to get
Through volunteering and donating to charitable campaigns like United Way, Kondrat said students can learn the importance of being responsible for their communities.
"In addition to preparing students for jobs," Kondrat said, "we also hope that a KU education will help them become good citizens."

Holland said the department has been inviting thus far. He said the importance of getting to know those within the department is that it's not the people behind the system who are important but instead the few who think they are above it.
"You've got to build those bridges first." Muirhead said.

"What we have experienced here is collusion," Holland said. "What we have experienced here is a group of people working together and very few internal controls would catch something
Holland said internal audit traditionally had not been part of the department because it already has a spotlight on it. He credits Chancellor Gray-Little for the creation of Muirhead's position to increase transparency of the department.
Internal audit will not be walking into the Athletics Department with the attitude that Athletics is "all screwed up," Holland said.
"I will not be sitting over in Strong Hall making judgments about how they do things over there without being completely enthralled in their work," Muirhead said.
However, there will be a considerable amount of walking into the department.
"The chancellor wants that assurance and she will get it," Holland said.

In a Board of Regents meeting on Sept. 14, Gray-Little presented changes she's made to restore confidence in the Athletics Department. Muirhead's position was one of those acts, as was removing the athletics director as chair of Athletics' board of directors.
A task force also reviewed the priority points system for seating at basketball and football games. Now fans can view how many points occupants of seats around them have.

"I think the chancellor's determined to ensure that we operate in a world of transparency," Jill Jess, associate director for University Relations, said. "We are a public institution and we don't have secrets."

The city of Lawrence will begin a $500,00 project to better control traffic lights such as this one at the intersection of Sixth and Kentucky streets. The program is aimed at improving traffic after football games and following a traffic accident. Engineers will be able to control traffic lights on Sixth Street between Massachusetts and Iowa streets from the city's traffic engineering building at Fifth and Mississippi streets.
LOCAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Public Safety Office assistant chief of police, said police change many normal streets to two-lane, one-way streets to help clear out the mess. While the game crowd is leaving, a car cannot drive toward the stadium.
Eric Thibeault, a senior from Hutchinson whose house is at Illinois and 10th streets, said it's impossible to drive to or from his house during that time.
"Traffic can be bumper to-bumper an hour after the game," he said.
There are also officers posted at dozens of intersections near the stadium to help traffic along and ensure pedestrian safety.
Uddin stressed that the city's new system would not make the football traffic jams go away, and it's not
designed to replace the system the University already has for controlling crowds. But it will help clear out traffic quicker.
The project should be done by March, barring another harsh winter like last year, Uddin said. If it goes well, the city would try to expand the system to 23rd Street, which would affect basketball game days even more than the proposed light upgrades.
The city and state are splitting the cost of the current project, which will begin the end of this month or the beginning of November. Uddin said an expansion to 23rd Street would require more state funding, but he didn't know how much.

After delay, LOTR prequels finally on the table for 2012
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — After several years of delays that have frustrated eager fans, moviegoers might soon be able to return to Middle-earth.
Warner Bros., its subsidiary New Line Cinema and partner Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer appear to be close to green-lighting the hugely anticipated two-part "Lord of the Rings" prequel "The Hobbit," according to several people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Barring a last-minute glitch, production could begin in mid-january so that the first of the two movies would be ready for a holiday 2012 release, according to people close to the project. The second film is planned for a December 2013 opening. If production doesn't begin by the first quarter of next year, the people said, "The Hobbit" will miss its planned release dates
and likely will have to once again be delayed.
The studio partners also have nearly finalized a deal with director, producer and co-writer Peter Jackson to make the two movies and have resolved most other key issues that have long held up the project, including those related to underlying rights from the estate of author J.R.R. Tolkien. Jackson has long planned to shoot the movies in his home country of
The one remaining hurdle is getting an official go-ahead from MGM, which for more than a year has been virtually out of cash and whose debt holders have been trying to decide upon a plan for reorganization. Under a long-standing agreement, MGM owns half the rights and controls international distribution. MGM is eager to co-finance the films, people close to the situation said, and could give Warner Bros. the official OK in the next few days.
Jackson took on directing duties after "Pan's Labyrinth" director Guillermo del Toro, who had been set to handle the job, backed out earlier this year because of the ongoing delays.
New Zealand, but this week he ran afoul of various performer unions, including the Screen Actors Guild, which are advising their members not to work on what they allege is a non-union production. One person close to the situation said that dispute also is close to being resolved, further clearing the way for a green-light.
The two "Hobbit" films, which will be shot together, are expected to cost close to $500 million to produce.
Warner and New Line, which produced the blockbuster "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and control domestic distribution for "Hobbit," are ready to commit their half of the money, said people familiar with the matter.

Negotiations between MGM and Warner are at a very tenuous stage. MGM needs to reach agreement among its more than 100 debt owners, which control the future of the studio. MGM's creditors are scrambling to finalize a reorganization plan through which Spyglass Entertainment chiefs Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum are expected to take over management.

Nelson reflects on 25 years helping farmers
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
MILWAUKEE — Farm Aid founder Willie Nelson kicked off a day of music at Miller Park in Milwaukee reflecting on 25 years of concerts to help the American farmer.
"Twenty-five years you've been doing this," Nelson said, wearing a cowboy hat and as soft-spoken as ever. "We've had thousands of artists, millions of people who have given their time and their money for the family farmer. What have we done in 25 years? Well, we're still here. If we had it all worked out we wouldn't have to be here again."

Miller Park is decked out in all its concert glory, with a 120-foot-long stage set in center field, 7,500 seats arrayed on portable flooring in the outfield and two sound and light towers flanking the infield. Crowds were anticipating scorching music from Farm Aid founders Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp, along with Dave Matthews, a board member of the charity. The eclectic lineup includes Kenny Chesney, Jason Mraz, Norah Jones, Jamey Johnson, Jeff Tweedy and The BoDeans.
Farm Aid organizers were eager to bring their message and their music to a big city and a big stadium for its 25th anniversary show.

It is obvious that the recent setback within the Senate to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" is only prolonging the inevitable. Overturning the clearly misguided military policy continues to be more of a matter of when than if.
Under the bogus policy currently in place, the military is not allowed to question a servicemember's sexual orientation and gays and lesbians can serve in the military, just as long as they keep it a secret. Thus far 13,000 qualified servicemembers have

America's contribution could, and should, be greater to this noble and worthy cause.
Foreign aid accounts for less than one percent of our federal budget while military spending is 20 percent. But with 19 million
Americans unemployed and the economy in near shambles, increasing the foreign aid budget is a tough sell, to say the least.
Rather than simply throwing more money that we don't have at the problem, the United States can get smarter with the dollars we do give.
As President Obama stated in his address to the United Nations during the summit, "We must be more selective and focus our efforts where we have the best partners and where we can have the greatest impact."
Thus far, the Obama administration has failed at this endeavor.
If you tried to make an organization chart of how foreign aid is given, you'd get more of a headache than if you tried to follow Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston's romance (I wouldn't recommend doing either).
Not only are there too many agencies doing one job, but very few people in Washington seem to care about the most important agency, the U.S. Agency for International Development. USAID went nearly all of 2009 without an administrator and to this day, many of its top positions remain unfilled.
Until we streamline our aid process and make it a priority, the U.S. can't say that we did all we could.

Gain procrastinating skills at upcoming seminar ... maybe
With the semester in full swing, big papers and tests
are starting to fill everybody's schedules. As a result, students are finding it harder and harder to successfully procrastinate. If you find that your homework keeps getting done on time, you may need help from a procrastination expert such as yours truly.
I'm a highly experienced, award-winning procrastinator, well-versed in every method and form of procrastination possible. In fact, a few years ago I won a scholarship from the Procrastinator's Association of America (though I have yet to receive a check). I continue to procrastinate to this very day, most recently on this column, which is currently being written two days after its deadline.
I seek to spread my gift to as many people as possible. That's why I'm starting a series of prohibitively expensive, inconveniently scheduled seminars that will be coming to a hotel airport not-particularly near you.
Puttin' It Off with Alex Nichols will teach you the basics of not doing whatever it is you're supposed to do. The seminar kicks off with a hastily prepared, incomplete presentation. In it, I reveal the Three Ds of Procrastination:
*Delay doing it
*Don't ever do it
*Deny that it needs to be done
This is the cornerstone of my program, which will help YOU become a less efficient procrastinator (should I ever actually end up building around that cornerstone).
The presentation continues with a bunch of shoddy, meaningless pie charts and bar graphs disguised as important information. And thanks to my uncanny procrastination skills, you'll hardly be able to tell I threw it together at three o'clock that morning!
After my presentation, the seminar breaks out into small group sessions, including:
*The Refresh Button and You:
Under Observation

anichols@kansan.com
Learn how refreshing a blog or message board over and over again can help you kill hours of would-be productivity.
*Make It Nap-pen: You don't need to be tired to take a nap. This workshop teaches you how to snooze your way to better procrastination.
*The Magic of Baby Steps:
Discover how you can justify opening Word, typing your name and pressing enter as three separate benchmarks in your work, with each earning you a three-hour break.
Lunch will be catered by whatever sandwich joint is closest to the hotel. Unless, of course, I never get around to calling the sandwich joint, which is extremely possible, since I'm the master of procrastination.
After lunch, we'll have to improvise, since I have nothing else planned. Um, maybe some role playing exercises? Yeah, that's good. Role playing exercises. We'll do some of those. We'll come up with some scenarios, such as a friend peerpressuring you into doing your work, and you'll figure out how to say "NO!" and go play video games instead. At the end of the day I'll hand out complimentary gift bags comprised entirely of stuff I found under my bed and in my closet.

PITTSBURGH — Pennsylvania officials were hoping for a grand unveiling of a century-old time capsule over the weekend, but they say both the capsule and their plans were spoiled.
Century-old time capsule excavated
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says the copper container was removed from the cornerstone of the 100-year-old
Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum last week. Inside, officials found 11 cents, two lead soldiers, a tattered silk flag and rotted news pulp, Confederate currency and photographs.
The lid of the cornerstone was apparently never soldered shut so moisture got in. Museum officials plan to entomb a new capsule next year to be opened by Pittsburghs of the early 22nd century.

This year's freshmen are the most academically talented class in University of Kansas history, with the highest average GPA and ACT scores of any class.
The class of 2014 has an average ACT composite score of 24.9, in contrast to the national average of 22.1. The average high school GPA for the freshman is a 3.48.
GPA for the Institution.
"There was some strategy behind our recruitment process," said Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships. "We have been developing a targeted, personalized communication approach with students who fall into a certain ACT range."
Pinamonti Kress said while there was no additional funding added to the scholarship budget, the Office of Admissions did increase recruiting, especially during the spring semester.
"If a student has visited campus or shown interest in the University but hasn't made an enrollment deposit, we will really make an initiative," said Pinamonti Kress. "We sent personalized notes and made personal phone calls to express our interest in the student."
Sam Ho, a freshman from Topeka, was first noticed by the University after he sent in his initial application.
Ho scored a perfect ACT score of 36 and a perfect SAT score of 2400.
2406:
"The experience for KU pretty much sealed the deal for me," Ho said. "Everywhere else I was accepted and visited, I just felt like I would be going to school. At KU, I felt like I would actually be getting a college experience."
Ho was offered the Perfect Achievement Scholarship, which includes full tuition and room and board. He is one of nine freshmen who have a perfect ACT score.
The enrollment of the freshman class has not increased in size from the year before, but more than one third of the class of 2014 scored higher than a 27 on the ACT. The "high-ability

here are used to being the smartest in their high school class," Powell said. "Now in my classes, literally everyone is smart. There is a pretty high standard."

KANSAS FOOTBALL REWIND
Before coach Turner Gill's first season began, many Kansas football fans rejoiced that Big 12 powerhouses Texas and Oklahoma were absent from the Jayhawks' schedule. They saw the softer schedule as an opportunity to get to a bowl game in the new staff's first season.
It turns out there was another team in Texas the jayhawks should have been more concerned about: perennial conference bottom-feeder Baylor.
Highly-touted quarterback Robert Griffin III passed for 380 yards and three touchdowns, both new career highs, and the Baylor Bears obliterated the Jayhawks 55-7 on Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium. The Bears broke team records for total yardage — 678 — and points scored in a Big 12 game.
"I am disappointed." Gill said. "Obviously, not a very good job by us as a coaching staff. Great job by Baylor, their staff and their players. They played an outstanding football game and we could never get anything going."
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
The Bears (4-1, 1-0) scored early and often, recording at least one touchdown in every quarter. In addition to his passing yardage, Griffin ran for 64 yards, including a one-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter that put the Bears up 17-0. Baylor would go on to score 55, the most ever for a Bears team in Big 12 play.
The 678 yards surrendered were the most by a Kansas (2-3, 0-1)
defense since it allowed 680 to Auburn in 1988. The secondary, ranked sixth-best in the country in pass yardage allowed coming into the game, allowed a 94-yard screen pass for a touchdown to wide receiver Josh Gordon with 4:09 left in the second quarter. Gordon's longest career reception and Griffin's longest career completion made the score 24-7.
"Overall, it was an embarrassing game," said senior safety Olaitan Oguntodu. "It was just embarrassing all the way around. We have to watch film and figure out where we are lacking, but we played a good team today."
In the film room, junior linebacker Steven Johnson was impressed with what he saw from the Bears' previous four games. What impressed him even more was the size of some of Baylor's starters.
"We knew they were a good team," Johnson said. "But when I went out there, they were bigger
than I thought.
All of them

like, 'What do

big?'
MARC A. MARSHALL
Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb

was sacked three times and threw
two interceptions, the second a 14-yard pick-six to safety Tim Atchinson that came only 12 seconds after Baylor's previous touchdown.
Webb and the offense moved the ball well in the first quarter but had nothing to show for it. The team picked up 85 yards in the quarter but were outscored 10-0.
"It is definitely frustrating."
Webb said. "You want to be able to finish a drive and that is something we just have to work at."
Webb's first quarter fumble was the team's first turnover on offense since the second game of the season against Georgia Tech. Webb would finish the game 16-for-28 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. Baylor dominated the Jawhaws, but Webb said
it should not be looked at as a sign to come in Big 12 play.
"It was the same, we just didn't execute," Webb said. "We beat ourselves, but you have to credit the other team. They made big plays when they needed to and we just didn't."

Jayhawks regain their consistency in weekends' games
Junior forward Emily Cressy passes the ball to a teammate Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Cressy scored in the 65th minute in the 1-0 Victory over Texas." I just wanted to win. Everyone did well today. They did whatever they could do to win. When I scored it was just a feeling of relief, but we still didn't let up," Cressy said.

The soccer team played its most consistent soccer this weekend as it went 1-1.
Kansas (5-7 overall, 1-3 Big 12) defeated Texas (7-3-2 overall, 0-2-1) for the first time since 2005 and for only the second time in the last 15 years on Sunday.
With strong defense, the Jayhawks were able to shut out the Longhorns 1-0. Coach Mark Francis told his players that the season has been up and down, and they haven't put together two performances in one weekend where they have been consistently good.
"This was the first weekend that we did," Francis said. "We didn't get the result on Friday against A&M, but I thought that we played very well. We played very well today and we got the result today."
He was pleased that the team played a consistent 90 minutes and that it competed really hard.

The Jayhawks were able to hold freshman forward Leah Fortune to one shot. Texas coaches kept telling their players to look to get the ball to Fortune.

COMMENTARY
The sturdy layhawk running game that exploded against New Mexico State was held to 99 yards on 37 carries. That's a 2.7 average. Nothing doing for the layhawks on any side of the ball.
During the Big 12 Football Media Days this summer, Baylor didn't bring along quarterback Robert Griffin III.
And what can you say about Baylor's defense? It dismantled any momentum Kansas had coming into that game, picking off freshman quarterback Jordan Webb twice and sacking him three times. Freshman defensive end Tevin Elliot had two of the sacks, broke up two passes and forced a fumble.
It would have been nice to do a feature on one of the most talented players in the Big 12 coming off an injury. Instead, Baylor coach Art Briles wanted the attention spread out among his players.
The Bears showed them off Saturday, shellacking the Jayhawks 55-7. Sophomore receiver Josh Gordon will haunt Jayhawks fans for a while with his four-catch, 161-yard performance. One of his two touchdowns came off a short pass that turned into a 94-yard burst.
"There's a lot of really good football players at Baylor University," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "Everybody knows Robert Griffin."
Still, no one was as impressive as RG3.
Well, Robert, you had four three in the air, one on the ground. The 380 passing yards was a career high and the 94 yard pass to Gordon was a Baylor record.
"I don't know how many players had a touchdown or a big play today, but it was a lot," Griffin said.
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
There's more.
Not to mention, the team had 678 offensive yards in the game, also a Bavlor record.
The Bears have never won a Big 12 game by more than 28 points. The 48-point margin of victory was the largest in school history.
What were the Jayhawks going to do? What was any team going to do? Sometimes the opposing team is just destined to win. Baylor was that team on Saturday.
Griffin added 64 rushing yards, etching his name in the school record books with 444 offensive yards, the most by any individual. He came out after the third quarter, so his day could have been more breathtaking.
Everyone knows Big 12 competition is a different animal. But these Bears were ridiculous in this one.
"It was just one of those days where everything fell into place," Griffin said, "and I'm glad it was for us."
The Jayhawks fell to 2-3 on the season, though it seems worse than it is. The wins have been good while the losses have been gut-wrenching.
Kansas senior safety Olaitan Oguntodu put this game into perspective for everyone: "It is embarrassing."

globe are also in that living.
Now the big question you're probably asking yourself is: why am I writing about things such as soccer and hockey when it's football season? The answer is preparation. I am simply preparing myself for next fall, when the NFL holds a lockout and my Sundays start to revolve around homework instead of football.
BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
The NFL lockout seems inevitable, and I can't imagine the players or the owners caving. The sad part about all this is that the fans will be the ones who suffer. We lose our Sundays, but the NFL owners will still get paid $5 billion from their TV contracts.
1
The NFL owners, spearheaded by Commissioner Rodger Goodell, want to get rid of two preseason games and add them to the regular season. In practice this seems great. Season ticket holders will no longer pay regular season prices for meaningless games.
The fact is that football is a violent game. Just yesterday, newfound media darling/ salvaged soul Michael Vick left the Eagles game in the first half after absorbing a vicious sandwich hit along the goal line. The truth is Vick would never have even been in that starting position had it not been for an injury to starter Kevin Kolb in the opening game. Can we really expect the players to give up a percentage of the profits and subject their bodies to more punishment?
THE
MORNING
BREW
owners, who are asking for the players to take a smaller piece of the cash pie, are putting the players at greater injury risk. And with all the studies coming out about the long-term dangers of concussions, the NFL owners are appearing even more selfish in asking the players to do more for less.
The NFL Players Association is not too fond of it. They feel that the
On the flip side, rookie contracts are
astronomical. The draft's No.1 pick Sam Bradford received $50 million and every year the No.1 pick wants even more than last year's.And the Players Association has demonstrated their unity throughout the season, beginning with the Saints and Vikings coming together on the field before the season opener.
Clearly the system needs to be changed. The question is which side will give in first. And no matter what happens, with a lockout next season the fans will lose. So my only advice is to choose an MLS or NHI team to follow if you want to keep occupied. But no matter what, Sundays next fall could be very lonely.
Hallberg sets record in Ensure Classic win
CONOVER, N.C. — Gary Hallberg shot a record-setting 11-under 61 Sunday to win the Ensure Classic by one stroke ahead of Fred Couples.
Hallberg finished at 18-under 198, tying the event record at the Rock Barn Golf and Spa and winning his first career Champions Tour title. Hallberg bettered the final-round record of 62, set by Bob Tway earlier Sunday. Tway's round had surpassed the former mark of 64 set by Doug Tewell in 2004.
"You never think you're going to win," said Hallberg, who became the seventh first-time winner on the 50-and-over tour this season. "You look at the players

Kansas' loss gives Tech first Big 12 win since '07
BY SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
Kansas gave Texas Tech its first Big 12 victory since 2007 in a five-set match that snapped a 64-match conference losing streak for the Lady Raiders.
Texas Tech's sloppy play and Kansas' early lead gave Kansas momentum that pushed them through the first set. The Lady Raiders had 12 errors in the first set and Tolefree ended it with her fourth kill.
The next two sets were similar in style and score, but it was the Lady Raiders who gained a 2-1 edge. Kansas couldn't match the .258 attack percentage held by Texas Tech and pulled out just nine kills in the second set.
Set three was hopeful for the Jayhawks as they gained a 4-1 lead. But Texas Tech was relentless. The Jayhawks kept the score
close and reclaimed the lead after trailing 16-19. But after see-sawing through the last few
points, Kansas dropped the set 25-22.

Atlanta Braves secure playoff slot after 8-7 win over Philadelphia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Bobby Cox was drenched with beer and champagne and hoisted onto the shoulders of his players after the Atlanta Braves gave their manager a final trip to the playoffs.
Atlanta reached the postseason as the NL wild-card team,
a first for Cox, as Tim Hudson and the Braves took a six-run lead, then held on for an 8-7 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
"I know there's not a team in this league that's got more heart than us."
The players sprayed champagne in the clubhouse and then took the celebration outside.
"This being Bobby's last year, losing today was not an option," Hudson said.
"We fought and we fought and we fought," Hudson said of the 91-win season that included a nine-game losing streak in April and season-ending injuries to Chipper Jones, Martin Prado and Kris Medlen.
lifted Cox onto their shoulders as fans chanted "Bobby! Bobby!"
"I know there's not a team in this league that's got more heart than us." Hudson said.

Rookie Jason Heyward and other players had high-fives for fans.
After the win, the Braves watched on TV as San Francisco beat San Diego 3-0, giving the Braves the NL wild card by one game over the Padres.
"This is what it's all about," said closer Billy Wagner, who struck out the side in the ninth. "You play all year long and it comes down to the last game and you get the champagne shower."

Atlanta will start the play-offs Thursday at NL West champion San Francisco in the opener of a best-of-five series.

Cox had compliments for his team.
"We try hard," Cox said. "This team is the hardest-working, hardest-trying team we've ever had here."
Cox's final regular-season record was 2,504-2,001. He ranks fourth in wins, trailing only Connie Mack (3,776), John McGraw (2,840) and Tony La Russa (2,638). This is Cox's 15th season with 90 or more wins, second to only McGraw.
Cox also had' 158 regularseason ejections, easily surpassing McGraw (117) for the most among managers.

Sophomore runner Natalie Becker runs strong at the Bob Timmons Classic on Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. Becker finished in third with a time of 19:33.90.
On Saturday, the cross country team traveled to Madison, Wis., to compete against 20 different colleges in the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational. The men's team finished 16th overall, while the women were able to snag 11th place. Both teams showed that there was still need for improvement, head coach Stanley Redwine said.

"I thought the quality of the team was really good today and I thought both teams competed well," he said. "However, we know what we have to do to compete at the next level."
The top finisher for the men's team was junior Donny Wasinger, who has proven to be the lead runner for the team so far this season. He clocked in on the 8K with a career best of 24:03 and finished 12th out of 212 runners. Following Wasinger was senior Nick Caprario, who placed 54th and timed in at 24:31. No. 3 runner for KU was junior Austin Bussing who ran a career-best time of 25:02, leaving him in 99th place.
Wasinger felt that he had a good learning experience from the meet and it was beneficial for the younger runners. He admitted that in the middle of the race he got a little smug, but finished the race strong. As for his fellow teammates, he felt that they competed well.
Despite finishing 33 points behind Texas A&M, the women's team still displayed strong running ability, especially junior Rebeka Stowe. She finished in on her 6K with a time of 20:32, placing 12th overall out of 202 runners. Behind her was sophomore Natalie Becker, Kansas' No. 2 runner, placing 54th overall and timing in at 21:21, proving to be a tough contender
"Caparrio ran very well and had a good day. That was a good stride for him." Wasinger said. "I also think it was good for the freshmen to get their feet wet in a meet with some stiff competition."
also. Junior Tessa Turcotte crossed the finish line placing 75th overall with a time of 21:42, rounding out the top three spots.
Stowe felt confident in herself and the women's team, but acknowledged that they are still developing stamina and strength.
"We were hoping to have a little better placing, but there were a lot of women that really stepped up and ran well, especially Becker. We have been waiting for her to come into her own and realize her potential. She had a solid race." Stowe said.
Assistant coach Whittlesey was also pleased with Becker's performance, along with Wasinger and Stowe's placing.
"I thought both Wasinger and Stowe did a great job putting themselves in front of the pack and buying into where they belonged in the race. They both need to get a little bit stronger mentality in the middle of the race." Whittlesey said.
As for Becker, "I am really pleased with Becker's race today. She had a great breakout race. This is a good precursor race for the ISU Pre-Nationals that are coming up next."

Short hitches set up longer throws
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
In the middle of the 48-point trouncing at the hands of the Baylor Bears on Saturday, something became painstakingly clear: Speed is not exactly the strength of the Kansas defense. It was evident every time Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III dropped back to pass.
The Kansas cornerbacks were usually seven or eight yards off their receiver, expecting Griffin to throw deep or run, something he has been known for during his time in Waco. That extra cushion opened up the short passing game for the Bears, something linebacker Steven Johnson and his teammates weren't prepared for and couldn't handle.
"We were expecting a lot more deep routes, but they kept throwing hitches for six or seven yards every time," Johnson said. "When we started to bite on those, he threw the ball downfield."
Often times, Griffin didn't even have to throw downfield to beat the soft-cushioned Kansas defense. With a little over four minutes remaining in the second quarter and Baylor on its own six yard line, Griffin threw a screen to receiver Josh Gordon. Gordon had more than a few yards of space to beat his defender before effortlessly taking the
pass for a Baylor-record 94 yards and a touchdown.
Baylor coach Art Briles could have watched the Kansas game film against Southern Miss to formulate his attack. In the loss to the Golden Eagles the defense again
doesn't know what's coming, the Yellow Jackets have to rely on speed and athleticism. When forced to do that on Saturday, the Bears put up 678 yards of total offense and 55 points.
Were the nearly 700 yards given up because of a lack of speed or bad position? Coach Turner Gill said he thought both
had trouble stopping a dual-threat quarterback who had deep-play capabilities.
"When we started to bite on those, he threw the ball downfield."
Georgia Tech's offense is one dimensional, running until they can't run anymore. Then they run some more. When the defense

"I think when you are lined up correctly, you have to go make the play," Gill said. "We just weren't quite in sync with everything."
factored in.
Not being in sync led to a missed assignment and big plays. Consistently being beat and missing
tackles because of a lack of speed and athleticism leads to a final score like Kansas fans saw on Saturday.

Junior cornerbuck Isaiah Barfield pounds the ground in frustration after dropping an interception late in the second quarter. The pick would have given Kansas excellent field position, but instead Baylor down the field and kicked a field goal at time exited on the first half, giving the Beas a 7-7 lead at the half.
THE GAME WAS CALLED AT NIGHT, AND THE PLAYERS' FANATICS CHEered For The Game To End.

Game Balls
3. Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson: With six catches, 53 yards and a touchdown Saturday, Patterson established himself as the go-to guy among the receivers. He has at least four catches in every game this season.
2. Sophomore wide receiver/running back D.J. Beshears: The electricity was still there, but the blocks were not. Still, Beshears managed.
1. Senior punter Alonso Rojas: Rojas was excellent again on Saturday, pinning the Bears on their own ten-yard line twice. Rojas ranked fourth in the Big 12 this season going into the game with five punts downed inside opponent 20s.
Delay of Games
3. Senior right tackle Brad Thorson: Thorson was called for two false starts on one drive and was part of an offensive line that allowed three sacks on the day. Thorson's leadership skills off the field are invaluable, but save last week's game against New Mexico State, the offensive line could use some more cohesiveness.
2. Senior kicker Jacob Branstetter: Branstetter has regressed in his senior year, making only two of five attempts this season. On Saturday he missed a 42 varder in a non-pressure situation.
1. Sophomore safety Lubbock Smith: Smith was partially to blame for the most embarrassing play of the day when he let wide receiver Terrance Williams score an 11 yard touchdown on a broken play. The snap rolled by sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin III, but he recovered and hit a wide open (and unmoving) Williams in the end zone for the Bears' fifth touchdown.
Play of the Game
Pinned inside their own ten yard line, the Bears offense looked to stay conservative and play the field position game. Their conservative play call, however, ended up going 94 yards for a touchdown. Griffin hit sophomore wide receiver Josh Gordon on a simple screen pass, but Jones exploded past slipping Kansas defenders and had nobody around him for the last 70 yards of his scamper. The score put the Bears up three scores, 24-7, late in the second quarter.
Game Notes
THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ...
Senior punter Alonso Rojas is really good (when his teammates are not giving up blocks). The Jayhawks have a bye week to sort this mess out. And a win against rival K-State next Thursday could put this loss in the distant memory.
THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ...
This Kansas team is not winning another game this season. What seemed like competitive matches against K-State and Mizzou now look like sure losses. Sure losses against Nebraska and Texas A&M.. still look like sure losses. And who is going to put their money on the Jayhawks against Colorado or Iowa State after they surrendered more points to Baylor than any other Big 12 school in the history of the conference?
BIGGEST ANSWER
Gill touted the Kansas defense in his weekly press conference last Tuesday, but he may have ended up jinxing them by pointing out they ranked sixth in the nation in pass yardage allowed through four games. Against a quality Big 12 offense, it got ugly fast. Kansas defenders missed tackles, blew coverage, did not get to the quarterback (again) and, worst of all, just looked slower. Not a good omen.
STILL QUESTIONING
When are the Jayhawks going to start forcing turnovers? A team can only play containment football so much. Gill has emphasized the turnover battle as key at many points this season, but the Jayhawks rank near the bottom of the country in both takeaways and recorded sacks. The defense needs to start making offense adapt to them instead of the opposite, which is how it has gone at every game this season except Georgia Tech.
LOOKING AHEAD
Next up for Kansas is rival K-State in two weeks at Memorial Stadium. The game will be a prime time Thursday contest, and if the Jayhawks ever needed some good publicity, it is now.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Original prediction: Baylor 21, Kansas 10. Actual score: Baylor 55, Kansas 7. Looks like we gave the Kansas offense too much credit and the defense a little too much. OK, a lot too much. Few expected Kansas to win their first Big 12 road game — especially in Waco, Texas, where they are now 0-5 — but nobody saw them getting gobblers by a 48-point margin.
FINAL THOUGHT
For the first time this season, Kansas' starting freshmen looked like, well, freshmen. Webb tried to force the ball into impossible holes at times, putting the ball right into a Bear defender, giving up an interception returned for a touchdown. Running back James Sims could not find the hole and fumbled when the game was still within reach in the second quarter. The young core has performed well, but one should expect more struggles like this in the maturation process.

Murray leads Sooners past Longhorns 28-20
Wednesday October
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Landry Jones threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns. DeMarco Murray ran for two scores on hurry-up plays and No. 8 Oklahoma survived another fourth-quarter swoon Saturday to hand No. 21 Texas its second straight loss, 28-20 in the Red River Rivalry.

The Sooners (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) jumped out to a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter, then got bailed out by a muffled punt late for a second straight week. The Longhorns had scored 10 straight points and were set to get the ball back in the final 62 seconds when Aaron Williams dropped the punt and James Winchester recovered it to let Oklahoma run out the clock.
Two plays earlier, lared Norton had a chance to give Texas (3-2, 1-1) the ball inside the Oklahoma 10 but instead knocked Jones'

fumble out of bounds.
The Longhorns lost back toback games for the first time since 2007, following a surprising 34-12 loss at home to UCLA last week.
Making his rivalry debut, Garrett Gilbert struggled to get the Longhorns' offense moving until mounting a late charge against an Oklahoma team that had been out-
scoed 41-10 in the fourth quarter coming in.
Gilbert connected with M a l c o l m Williams on a 40-yardpass,but the Longhorns had to settle for a field goal after getting inside the 10 for the
at the 6, and seemed poised to get one last chance to tie the game when Williams fumbled — just like Cincinnati's D.J. Woods did late to help the Sooners come away with a 31-29 win last week.
It was the last in a line of key mistakes that led to Texas' downfall, mostly in the form of untimely penalties by the defense. Three of
Oklahoma sped out to a 21-7 lead, scoring three touchdowns before the Longhorns even had that many first downs.
second time in the second half Texas then stopped Oklahoma on three plays, including Jones' fumble that rolled out of bounds
Landry Jones fumble was wiped away because he lined up offside. Oklahoma added to its lead when Murray went 20 yards for a score on a hurry-up play, three snaps after Jackson Jeffcoat drew a personal foul for showing an Oklahoma player down after the Sooners had failed to pick up a third-and-29.
Oklahoma's four scoring drives were extended by Texas penalties on third down, and the Longhorns also had a fumble recovery in the red zone erased after a flag.

Oklahoma used its hurry up offense to score on Murray's 18-yard run around left end before the Longhorns had set up on defense.

Texas needed a fake punt to drive into the Sooners' territory for the first time on its opening drive of the second half.

seen something like this," closer Brian Wilson said. "It's been a rollercoaster the entire season."
San Francisco will host the wildcard Atlanta Braves starting Thursday at AT&T Park, with ace Tim Lincecum well rested to go in Game 1. The Braves beat the Phillies 8-7 earlier in the day, extending manager Bobby Cox's farewell season.
Two NL playoff races came down to Game 162.

When Venable struck out swinging one pitch later, Posey ran out to Wilson and they jumped together at the mound. The rest of the Giants joined them and gray NL West champion shirts were quickly handed out.
The Giants then took a victory lap along the outfield warning track, slapping hands with fans leaning over the fence. Bochy brought up the rear of the lap, tipping his cap and waving it over and over again.
"Its a group that coalesced into a team that wants to get there," said Bochy, who eliminated his former team.
Padres players stayed put at the railing of their dugout watching the celebration in disappointment.
The Giants were in fourth place and 71/2 games out of the lead on July 4.

State, but it appears the lack of respect for the Western Athletic Conference is already hurting the Broncos.
With a nonconference game against Toledo on Saturday, followed by meetings with WAC weaklings San Jose State and Louisiana Tech, it would seem that the Broncos could be stuck at No. 4 for a while unless one of those top three teams lose or struggle mightily with a weaker opponent.
The only team currently ranked on Boise State's remaining schedule is No. 21 Nevada. The Broncos visit the Wolf Pack on Nov. 26.
Alabama received a seasonhigh 58 first-place votes from the media panel after trouncing Florida 31-6. The Gators dropped seven spots to No. 14, their lowest ranking since they were 14th on Nov. 11, 2007.

Biffle wins at Kansas, but Johnson leads Sprint Cup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — NASCAR's championship race tightened considerably Sunday at Kansas Speedway, where Greg Biffle won to keep his title hopes alive and Jimmie Johnson returned to the top of the Sprint Cup leaderboard.
Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, took a mediocre car and drove it to a secondplace finish behind Biffle. It pushed him past Denny Hamlin in the standings, and he's got an eight-point cushion after the third of 10 Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races.
Only once since the Chase began in 2004 has the eventual champion left Kansas ranked lower than second in the standings. But this
is suddenly the closest battle in Chase history, as the top seven finishers Sunday were title contenders.

the leader.
Kyle Busch had the worst race of all Chase drivers because of a long-running feud with non-title contender David Reutimann.
Contact between the two early in the race caused Reutimann to spin, and he came back and appeared to intentionally wreck Busch with 112 laps remaining. Busch was running seventh at the time of the accident, and he dropped back to 22nd before finishing 21st.
Busch was furious over his radio,
demanding NASCAR take action against Reutimann. Crew chief Dave Rogers heightened the drama by telling Busch that Reutimann's team demanded he retaliate against Busch.
Busch took time after the race to change out of his firesuit before speaking to reporters, and he was much calmer about the incident.
"Whatever. It's just really unfortunate," Busch said. "The guy was loose, said it on the radio, he slid up off the bottom and I got into him unintentionally and just spun him out. My fault, 100 percent. But then the retaliation? For a guy that's in the Chase, that's racing for something ... he'll be here next year."
He could have wrecked me in any of the first 26 races next year. That would have been fine.
"It's just hard to swallow something, a day like today, where we had a top-five car going."
Busch dropped from third to seventh in the standings and is 80 points behind Johnson.
Reutimann didn't admit that he intentionally wrecked Busch, but had no guilt for tangling with a championship contender.
"You guys can sugarcoat it all the time, but he wrecked me," he said. "You can tell me how bad he wants it, how hard he drives, how much he wants it above everybody else. That's all fine."
NFL
T.O. flexes muscle, but Cleveland wins
Hillis picks up 102 yards and a touchdown
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland
Browns finally finished.
Peyton Hillis rumbled for 102 yards and a touchdown. Phil Dawson kicked three field goals and the Browns held on to a fourth-quarter lead, surviving a big day by Terrell Owens for their first win, 23-20 over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
The Browns (1-3) had lost their first three games by a total of 12 points, failing to finish down the stretch and frustrating coach Eric Mangini with silly, self-inflicted mistakes.
But this time, they overcame a costly penalty on rookie safety T.J. Ward, made a crucial sack of Carson Palmer in the closing minutes and withstood a 10-catch, 222-yard performance by Owens, who also moved into second place on the NFL career list in receiving vards.
The Bengals (2-2) had their eight-game winning streak in the AFC North snapped.
After taking a 23-10 lead in the third quarter on Dawson's 22-yarder, which moved him within one field goal of tying Hall of Famer Lou Groza's franchise record of 234, the Browns nearly let another lead slip away before regaining their
footing in the closing minutes.
With Cincinnati driving for a possible go-ahead touchdown, Browns linebacker Matt Roth sacked Palmer and forced Bengals coach Marvin Lewis to call for a punt with roughly five minutes left.
Cleveland took over at its 11 with 4:41 remaining and ran out the clock by giving the ball to Hillis, a human battering ram who picked up 24 yards on a second-and-7 play before the two-minute warning. Quarterback Seneca Wallace, who made his third straight start in place of the injured Jake Delhomme, then took a knee three times to run out the clock.
Palmer finished 25 of 36 for 371 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-best 78-yarder in the second quarter to Owens, who was almost unstoppable as the Browns chose to double-team Chad Ochocinco.
Wallace went 18 of 30 for 184 yards and threw a 24-yard TD pass to Evan Moore.
Cincinnati's offense finally lived up to its preseason hype, but it failed to come up with the necessary conversions with the game on the line.
A personal foul against Ward helped the Bengals pull within 23-20 on Palmer's 4-yard shovel
pass to Brian Leonard with 10:44 left.
On third-and-goal, Palmer's pass over the middle intended for rookie wide receiver Jordan Shipley was incomplete, but Ward delivered a forearm to Shipley's head and was nailed with a penalty, giving the Bengals an automatic first down. Shipley laid dazed with a concussion and was helped off the field. He did not return.
On the next play, Palmer pitched the ball with his left handtoLeonard, who went in untouched.
The Browns went three-and- out the next time they got the ball, and
with a TD run, the first Cleveland back to do that since Greg Prutt did it five games in a row in 1975.
Owens scored his first TD for Cincinnati on his 17th catch for the Bengals, tying it 10-10 in the second.
Cincinnati's offense finally lived up to its preseason hype,but it failed to come up with the neccesary conversions with the game on the line.
On second-and-13 at Cleveland's 22, Palmer lofted a deep pass for Owens, who had a step on cornerback Sheldon Brown. When Brown tripped and fell at about the 35,
Palmer marched the Bengals down the field on passes to Owens and Ochocinco, who huddled with their quarterback on the sideline several times in the second half. Cincinnati got as far as Cleveland's 37 on its last drive, but Ochocinco was called for interference on third down and Roth pulled down a scrambling Palmer from behind on the game's biggest defensive play.
Hillis, who ran for a career-high 144 yards last week at Baltimore, plowed over from the 1 to give the Browns a 20-10 lead in the third. It was Hillis' fourth straight game

Owen didn't mark the occasion with any elaborate dance. He simply placed the ball on the

corner that read: "T.O. and C.O.

Owens moved past Isaac Bruce into second place on the league's career yardage list. Owens has 15,323 yards, second only to Jerry Rice's 22,895.
The Bengals got the ball right back when Leon Hall intercepted Wallace, but Mike Nugent's 44-yard field goal try was blocked by Browns linebacker Scott Fujita.
NCAA FOOTBALL
Despite investigation UNC regaining swag
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — That famous football philosopher Barry Switzer was fond of saying "winning fixes everything."
In fact, the former Oklahoma coach made that very observation just two days before his embattled 1980 Sooners smacked a 7-0 North Carolina team, 41-7, one week after the Tar Heels had plastered East Carolina.
Thirty years later, Butch Davis on Saturday was in command of a UNC club that now is treading the uneasy ledge that Switzer and the Sooners used to routinely call home.
Key players are under mandate to sit out games, NCAA investigators breeze in and out of town, Davis is earning a virtual Ph.D in plausible deniability, and the Tar Heels very much needed the sort of comfort food that yet another win over ECU could provide.
Some fixing got done, you might say.
After some trouble early, the 2-2 Tar Heels even began to resemble the team many thought would be 4-0 and ranked high in the national polls.
Behind a husky, confident
offensive line and relentless runners Johnny White and Shaun Draughn, UNC sailed to a 42-17 rout on a sunny afternoon in front of a packed house.
It all ended with Davis being roundly cheered as he waved to students and jogged off the field a minute or so before his players locked arms and sang along as the band played the school fight song in what amounted to a rousing postgame pep rally.
Quarterback T.J. Yates called the experience a "remedy"
"It's the way for us to get away from the off-field distractions," the senior said. "The games keep us going. It's what we look forward to."
Slowly, the Heels are beginning to get players back from the inactive list, and the nature of the ACC is such that many of the team's preseason goals might still be accomplished.
"We're gaining a little more confidence with each game as we go along," star linebacker Bruce Carter said. "Everybody on the team is digging a little deeper."
Up next is another game in Kenan Stadium — Clemson on Saturday.

Team hosts clinic at Kansas River
The women's squad taught the basics of rowing to adults from around the area
BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
While strong winds and cold temperatures made for an environment that coaches admitted would be questionable for team practice,the Kansas women's rowing team hosted a clinic Saturday morning and taught interested adults the basics of the sport.
"People were enthusiastic about it," assistant coach George Jenkins said. "The weather was not totally cooperative, but the girls did really well keeping everything together out there."
Kansas Athletics and Lawrence Parks and Recreation joined forces to host the event, which was attended by 21 participants.
When the facility was built there was some commitment from the University to promote community rowing.
"This was the first baby step in that direction. We are looking forward to it, and we have to work it around the schedule of the team, but I think this went really well." Jenkins said.
really well. Jenkins consisted of different talks and lessons leading up to the main event: rowing on the Kansas River. First the group was taught the basic rowing strokes while working out on rowing machines in the boathouse. After that there was a safety talk where they learned rowing terminology, and then the guests were introduced to the boats.
Each of the five boats in the water had help from three or four experienced team members.
"I had never actually done it, but I had always encouraged her to get out and do it," Hill said. This was my first attempt to do it and I really enjoyed it. I could see where it would be a lot of really hard work though."
Out of the 21 participants Jenkins noted that about half of them were related in some way to a woman on the team. There were several mother-daughter pairs who were able to work together. One of the mother-daughter teams was senior Lauren Pollmiller and her mother Becki Hill from Lenexa.
Hill used to race sailboats, but
said the event made her see the differences and also gave her a greater appreciation and understanding of what her daughter goes through at practice every day.
Having her mother there made the clinic more fulfilling for Pollmiller.
"It was fun, because I call her after practice almost every day and tell her 'this is what we did today' and 'I am having so much trouble with this', but now I can be like, 'Remember when you did this?"

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With the AL East championship already in hand, the Tampa Bay Rays outlasted the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in 12 innings Sunday.
Manager Joe Maddon's team learned it had clinched the division title and home-field advantage in the ninth inning when New York lost at Boston 8-4.

"It took a little of the tension off," Maddon said. "We wanted to win this game. How 'bout that? Extra innings, on the road, didn't need to win. It tells you something about our ballclub."
The Yankees and Tampa Bay began the day tied at 95-66. To win the division, New York needed to finish ahead of the Rays, who held the tiebreaker after winning the season series 10-8.

EMBRACING IDENTITY
Students enjoy freedom of coming out
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
One day during her junior year, Chloe Alexander decided to dress as a man. She didn't want attention and she didn't want to cause trouble. She just wanted to be herself. So Alexander, a senior from Merriam, bound her breasts and arrived in class with men's clothing.
"I started not seeing myself as female anymore," Alexander said.
She said the first time she went to class dressed as man she didn't know what to expect. She didn't know how they would react, if they would react or if they would just pretend nothing changed. To her surprise, her fellow classmates were not alarmed about the sudden change in attire. She said she imagined the process of coming out of the closet to be an emotional roller coaster.
Alexander, who identifies herself as queer, successfully came out of the closet, and she said she hoped many others would follow her.
"It's rarely like the big dramatic thing they show on television," Alexander said. "It was really relieving and fun."
In celebration of National Coming Out Day, which is Oct. 11, Queers and Allies will host Kate Bornstein, a transgender activist and author. Bornstein will perform tonight in Hashinger Hall Theatre at 7 p.m. to promote awareness of gender and sexuality issues. Bornstein called her performance "On Men, Women and the Rest of Us." She said she would raise more questions on gender and sexuality than people would expect. She said even most heterosexuals have something for which to come out of a closet.
"There's lot of closets to come out of, not just gay and lesbian,"
Sara Thompson, a senior from Salina, fell in love with her freshman-year roommate. She didn't understand this sudden attraction to her roommate. She said she didn't want to ruin her friendship with her roommate with her romantic feelings. She had to come out of the closet to herself first. She said at first she was confused because she didn't look like a lesbian. She often questioned her sexuality after that, and she wasn't quite sure what to
She said people needed to stop lying to themselves and find out who they truly are as sexual human beings. At the age of 62, Bornstein spent almost half of her life lying to herself about her gender orientation. In her thirties she went through a sex change, yet she still tied about her gender orientation.
Bornstein said.
"I was pretty sure I was straight up until college," Thompson said. "Then I realized that I don't even like dudes all that much."
"I'm not a man or a woman,"
Bornstein said. "I just myself."
Then she started to realize that throughout her life she had always been attracted to women. Whether it was a small crush on another girl from high school or falling in love with her roommate, she knew she couldn't lie to herself. She said her openness with that one girl led her to realize that she was attracted to women. She finally told her roommate about her feelings after feeling depressed and anxious about telling her, she said. Her roommate was surprised and had no idea that Thompson has feelings for her, but she accepted Thompson.
"It was the best reaction she could have given me," Thompson said.
"Although I secretly wished she was passionately in love with me too but she wasn't."
Joel Layton, a senior from Overland Park, is bisexual. As a sophomore in high school, he gradually began to tell his friends and mother about his sexuality. He said he never felt a weight lift from his shoulders afterward, but he did feel a little relief.
"I didn't have to play pronoun games with" people who I was attracted too," Layton said.
She said she felt great the next day after her confession. She said she felt like she was hiding from her best friend and afterward she could finally be herself.
Although coming out of the closet can be a freeing experience, Bornstein said if there was a chance of injury, both physically and emotionally, then a person should wait.
The only person left to tell was
his father, but he never did. He said his father was a very conservative man and he was afraid that if told him, his father would disown him. He said that after all, his father was his financial support, especially at the age of 15.
"It was a scary prospect." Layton said.
Layton never got the chance to tell his dad about his bisexuality because he died shortly afterward.
Borstein said the best thing about coming out was that a person didn't have to stick to it. She said this performance was all about National Coming Out Day. Once someone comes out, that person can come out as something totally different later — the options are endless.
"I hope you do, or life will be awfully boring" she said.

Inflation catches up to state funds
BY STEPHEN
MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
"I think it's really disturbing," said Gary Sherrer, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents.
State funding for higher education has failed to keep up with inflation since 2005 as students now pay more for their education than the state, a report released Thursday by the Legislative Division of Post Audit found.
The report found that one in six students in Kansas had excess credit hours, but those hours represented a small proportion of all credit hours attempted by students.
The audit's primary purpose was to determine whether the state has too many college students with excess credit hours. Excess hours occur when a student has more credits than 115 percent of what is necessary to graduate.
"Neither the state nor Kansas' universities would save significant money by reducing excess credit hours," the report said.
The finding that inflation outpaced state funding for higher education is a first for Kansas. Universities have two main sources of funding, state appropriations and tuition revenues. Presently, the state's six universities receive a higher share from the latter category.
According to the report, tuition revenues in 2009 were $449,638,044 compared to state appropriations of $428,301,065. In 2005, state appropriations

Emily Willis, Salon Hawk owner, adds a pink hair extension to Salon Hawk stylist, Becky Gladman. Gladman remarked that adding a pink hair extension is "a good way to create awareness, and support the community by helping someone at the same time." Salon Hawk, located on the third floor of the Kansas Union, will be providing pink extensions through October.
Think pink on campus this week Breast Cancer Awareness supporters shine light on preventative actions for students
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
Willis said she witnessed her best friend go through emotions Willis described as shocking.
Four years ago Salon Hawk owner Emily Willis watched her best friend crumble from a strong-willed, "punky" Lawrence police officer to a young woman whose life was suddenly at stake. The reason? She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"She is the toughest girl I know," Willis said. "I never had seen her cry. She never wanted kids. She never wanted any of that stuff. And then I watched her go from a very strong, almost guy-girl, to actually going through, 'Well, what if I can't have children? What about this? I have so much left to do with my life.'"
Willis decided to do something to help her friend. She started selling pink hair extensions for $10 through Salon Hawk in support of breast cancer awareness. And four years later, at the kick-off of KU's Breast Cancer Awareness Week, Pink Hair for Hope is still going strong.
All of the profits raised by Salon Hawk are donated to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Willis said it was important to her that all of the money received stay local.
"Anybody that helps us is help
ing people here — real people that actually are going through something here, not just somewhere," Willis said.
If rocking pink hair isn't your thing, there are many other ways students can involve themselves to support breast cancer awareness this week.
Jenny McKee, a health coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said empowerment was a major goal of Breast Cancer Awareness Week this year. She said the goal wasn't only to inform, but to get students to take
"It's one in every four women, and that could happen as early as 19."
EMILY WILLIS Salon Hawk owner
the information and do something with it.
"We really want to get people to a place where they can connect," McKee said.
Three interactive tabling events will give students the opportunity to take their loved one's health into their own hands. Students can send stamped postcards to remind their family and friends to get their annual exams.
"It's a nice way to tell someone, Hey, I care about you, and I want you to go get your regular
check-up," said Annie McBride, a graduate student from Omaha and student intern with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
The tabling events, which will run from Monday through Wednesday, will also give students the chance to take control of their own personal health. Through an organization called Bright
Pink, women can sign up to receive monthly text messages to remind them to do their monthly breast exams.
"I think we can do a lot to educate people, but October is so pink," McKee said. "It's everywhere, and that's great, but these are ways you can really make a difference for both yourself and for someone that you care about."
People like Willis, however,
McKee said many students don't give breast cancer a second thought at this point in their lives.
"A lot of young people, especially young ladies, aren't even thinking about breast cancer, because that's something that happens to moms, anuts and grandmas," McKee said.

know firsthand that it can happen sooner than later. Although she said her best friend's story had a happy ending — she had the cancer removed without having to undergo any chemotherapy and continues to serve the city of Lawrence as a police officer — Willis said students need to recognize breast cancer as a threat.
"I'te one in every four women, and that could happen as early as 19," Willis said. "My friend was 24, and to think there are seniors that are 24 here on campus, that really makes a big impact. You could be one in four at any time in your life."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A shooting spree around Gainesville Monday afternoon left two people dead and five wounded and a suspect has shot himself, police said.

The wounded were being taken to Shands Hospital, where family members were gathering.
Officers who answered the phone at the Gainesville Police Department told The Associated Press no one was immediately available to speak about the shootings. Calls to a spokesman's cell phone went unanswered.
Landmark bar at center of crime
NEW YORK — Prosecutors say a man has been beaten in an anti-gay attack at a New York City bar where a 1969 riot became a defining moment in the gay rights movement.
Two men have been arrested in the beating at the Stonewall Inn, in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood.
Matthew Francis is being
held on $10,000 bond after his arraignment Monday on hate crime assault and other charges. A co-defendant is awaiting arraignment.
Prosecutes say on Sunday Francis told the victim he didn't like gay people and used an anti-gay slur. They say he punched the victim in a restroom at the bar.
A 1969 police raid at the Stonewall Inn sparked an uprising that helped prompt gays to campaign for rights and recognition.

were $399,929,966 while tuition
revenues totaled $317,907,310.
State funding for higher education increased by about $25 million, or 7 percent, since 2005. That increase failed to keep up with inflation for that time period, which the Higher Education Price Index calculated to be about 16 percent.
In that same time period, overall tuition revenues increased by 41 percent. Tuition revenues are influenced by enrollment and tuition rates. Between 2005 and 2010, enrollment increased by 5.5 percent. Enrollment at the University increased by 1.7 percent in that stretch, an increase higher only than that of Kansas State University.
The Board of Regents approved the University's latest tuition increase in June. Citing more than $40 million in budget cuts and unfunded mandates, the University raised tuition between 5.2 and 9.2 percent for students not part of a tuition compact.
From 2005 to 2009, tuition at the University increased by 49 percent and 34 percent for resident and nonresident students respectively, the highest increase among all state universities.
Sherrer voted against the latest tuition increase, and called the increase a terrible message to send to students and their family.
"it's hard to be very optimistic," Sherrer said.
"I think the state should give colleges more money because we're the future." Jaseja said. "And if we can't go to college, people aren't going to be able to get jobs."
Vanita Jaseja, a freshman from Overland Park, said if she cannot keep up with the tuition increases, her parents will not be able to pay for her schooling at the University and she'll have to go to junior college instead. Jaseja said the government needs to help its colleges, especially in times of economic stress.
"That is frustrating to me because tuition is already high enough as it is," said Conner Brake, a freshman from Salina. "I feel like I'm almost worried enough right now about student loans."
Even for students whose parents can help cover much of the costs of college, tuition hikes still add stress.
Brake said he feels blessed that his parents can pay for most of college, but it only softens the blow of rising education costs.
"Any time I have to pay more for anything it is always a stressful situation." Brake said.
Thursday's report was inspired by an audit of Florida's higher education program that estimated the cost of its students' excess hours to be $62 million in 2004. Kansas legislators expressed concerns about whether a similar situation existed at its universities. In fiscal year 2009, the six universities spent more than $1.8 billion to educate more than 73,000 full-time students.
The audit found that of 2,792 students at the University who began in fall 2004 and were still enrolled in spring 2009, 400 had excess credit hours, or 14 percent of students analyzed.
Differences between Florida and Kansas higher education funding illustrated why there was little cause for concern in the audit's findings.
"Because Kansas doesn't fund its six universities by credit hour, excess credit hours don't affect state costs," the report said. Floridas funding formula is based largely on the number of credit hours the universities teach.

"Even with the most aggressive assumptions, we didn't find any meaningful, achievable cost savings related to excess credit hours," the report said.

Librarian: how to finish a book in a mere 10 minutes

only 10 minutes.
Midterms are quickly approaching and students are preparing to complete that last test or paper before fall break. For some students, preparing for midterms means sitting down and looking over their notes. For others, it means actually learning the material for the first time. For those students who fall into the latter category, a new option exists. Kelly Fann, an Information Services Coordinator with the Lawrence Public Library, is spreading the word about a reading strategy that allows people to finish a book in
"In my experience, the strategy will work well with books that you'd read in classes like Western Civ," Fann said. "It's best for fiction though."
Fann said she came across this strategy while attending a library conference. Librarians involved in reader advisory programs spoke highly of the technique. They said it would allow readers to figure out the plot, main characters and basic ideas of larger books in a short amount of time.
To accomplish this, a reader must complete a set of tasks ranging from memorizing the author of a book to reading the middle chapter. By the end, a reader will have read a book's foreword, introduction, acknowledgements and more.
"Whenever I use something like Spark Notes, I feel like they make up my mind about certain ideas in a story," Fann said. "I like how this provides me with the opportunity to make up my own mind."
"I like the idea, but I'd be concerned that if I went too fast that I wouldn't pick up on the things I'd

need to know for a test," he said.
While the strategy might not work for all students, the timesaving possibilities are enough to tempt some of them.
"If there was a bit more time to read the chapters I think it would work fairly well," said Emily Sis, a junior from Rogers, Ark. "I definitely think it would work for some books and if it helps me to read my assignments faster then I think it would be worth a shot."

Kelly Fanning of the Lawrence Public Library has a strategy to help students read a book in ten minutes. Although you are not reading the book in its entirety, the strategy lets you understand what the book is all about.
A guide to flying through your readinas
Minute one: Memorize the title and the author.
Minute two: Read the back cover, inside cover and recommendations. Check reviews on Goodreads.com and Amazon.com—these will often give overall plot synopsis in addition to the user's reaction to the content.
Minute three: Scan the front cover. You can judge a book by its cover. Publishers are making flashier covers that say a lot about the book's
content. Typefaces, colors, and pictures speak volumes for what lies in the pages.
content. Typefaces, colors, and pictures speak volumes for what lies in the pages.
Minute four: Read the foreword, introduction, and acknowledgements. This offers a surprising amount of insight into the rest of the book.
Minutes five and six: Find the key chapter. It's not always the first or last chapters. Often it's chapter 3 or 4; sometimes it's right smack in the middle. For non-fiction or textbooks, it might be easier to find the key paragraph within each chapter.
Minutes seven through sine: Look for clues to the plot. This takes practice. Scan through the book flipping through the pages and look for words or dialogue that stand out. As you practice, you'll get faster at picking them out. Often it's just the first sentence of each paragraph or the caption under texts with a lot of pictures and diagrams.
minute 10: Summarize. Put it to memory. Writing it out helps to store the book into your mind so you can recall it later for discussions or exams.

New shows get low ratings
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Some programs this fall are delivering very strong ratings. Just not new programs. If TV executives want encouragement from the numbers, they have to turn to football and returning series.
two weeks into the fall TV season, the broadcast networks are off to one of their most sluggish starts ever. For the first time in at least five years, not a single new show has cracked the top 10 either among total viewers or the advertising-friendly demographic of adults 18 to 49, according to the Nielsen Co. Even CBS' remake of "Hawaii Five-0" has tumbled compared with "CSI: Miami" last year.
Then there are the outright bombs. After two airings Fox axed its critically acclaimed drama "Lone Star." Two episodes were all it took for ABC to yank the critically unheralded youth soap "My Generation" Industry watchers predict that ABC's legal drama "The Whole Truth" and NBC's "Outlaw" will be next on the road to oblivion. As a result, Fox — the top network among young adults for several years running — and ABC both saw their premereweek ratings slide by double digits compared with a year ago.

Secretariat' blends sports,family fun
It's the kind of feel-good family film—"Secretariat" is rated PG
It didn't look like Secretariat could pull it off. Coming out of the gate at the 1973 Kentucky Derby, the chestnut colt fell behind all but two horses and dropped more than nine lengths off the leaders down the backstretch. Under the whip from jockey Ron Turcotte, the thoroughbred suddenly blitzed the field, winning the Derby and the nation's adoration.
That stirring come-from-behind race — the opening leg in the horse's ridiculously lopsided Triple Crown triumph, the first such sweep in 25 years — is at the center of "Secretariat," a Disney drama opening Friday about the legendary equine, unconventional owner Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) and eccentric trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich).
that evokes the quintessential Disney films of the era it's set in: "Freaky Friday,""Pete's Dragon" and "The Love Bug." At the same time, the movie recalls the studio's rousing sports dramas of the past decade, a slate that includes "The Rookie,""Remember the Titans" and "Miracle."
Disney's new top executives believe "Secretariat,"a project begun by their predecessors, distills their creative and commercial ambitions, and they are promising to make more modestly budgeted, uplifting films in its hoof prints.
"It's a movie that speaks to who we are today and where we are going," studio chief Rich Ross said of the film, which features a gospel song and a Bible quote and has evident heartland appeal
the perfect inspirational film, he believes, for these recessionary times.

GUEST COLUMN
Breast cancer awareness week offers helpful ideas
October 4 begins Breast Cancer Awareness Week here at KU. Breast cancer is a health care concern for all women, including young women, and everyone should look into their risk factors. This will allow you to take whatever preventative steps you can.
Here are some facts and figures about breast cancer risks and tips for prevention:
Breast cancer is less likely in younger/pre-menopausal women, but it's definitely possible. If you have a family member who has been diagnosed (mother, sister, child), it is likely you are at higher risk for a breast cancer diagnosis. This means that you may have to start preventive screenings earlier than women with no risk. It's recommended that you start getting mammograms every year, starting at age 5-10 years prior to the youngest breast cancer case in the family, or age 40, whichever comes first.
If you're currently on birth control pills, it may increase your risk slightly. However, within 10 years of stopping the Pill, your risk returns to that of never-users of the Pill, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem for young women.
Now, with regards to prevention, it's important for women of all ages to get to know our bodies when they're healthy. Then when something changes, we're more likely to notice it.
Women, even young women, should have a clinical breast exam (CBE) by a medical provider at least once every 3 years starting at age 20. This increases to once a year starting at age 40. CBEs are simply manual exams that a provider can do to check for breast changes. Often, medical providers will conduct one during a regular gynecological exam, but if they don't, make sure to ask!
Take some time to conduct a self breast exam; it may feel silly, but we should be as aware as possible of how our bodies work.
We have great mammography technology, and not enough women take advantage of it. In particular, minority women and lesbian women are less likely to go for care, leading to later diagnoses and worse outcomes.
We've got better and better imagery, and a wider variety of medications and treatment options for those who are diagnosed, so it's
important to go for screenings! If you're concerned about the cost of mammograms, contact the Race Against Breast Cancer in Topeka at rabctopeka.org for free screening sites.
Sure, going to the doctor isn't fun. Mammograms aren't either. They are uncomfortable, and no one looks forward to them. But just like flossing your teeth, the feeling afterward is worth it.
So, want to get involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Week this year?
Come by the Kansas Union Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wescoe beach.
At our tables, you can pick up some literature, a postcard for a woman you love reminding her to care for herself, enter a prize drawing, or meet a woman who has made it through cancer.
Take advantage of this week for the sake of yourself and the women in your life.

OBAMA TALKS WITH HIS ECONOMIC CREW...
NICK SAMBULAK
GUEST COLUMN
America needs long-term goals to inspire innovation
The year is 1933. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announces the New Deal to recover from the Great Depression.
the year is 2010. President Barack Obama announces... what, exactly? His intention to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" or maybe pass national health care. But these are not the kind of grand, long-term plans that will drive Americans and their government for the next decade. Until we can find such a plan, we as a nation will find it impossible to maintain a competitive advantage over countries such as China that are making big bets in technology and infrastructure.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the only true global superpower, and it took upon itself the role of international policeman. Since 2001, the War on Terror has drained our resources and become one of the government's top priorities. But as we have poured our resources into Iraq and Afghanistan, we have lost sight of our internal goals.
The year is 1961. President John F. Kennedy announces that Americans are going to the moon within the decade.
We support corrupt governments with foreign aid but leave our own people in poverty. We need a commitment to developing infrastructure,to bringing 21st-century technology
In a New York Times column last week, Thomas Friedman (author of "The World Is Flat") compared the United States' investment in Afghanistan to China's investment in infrastructure and cutting-edge technology. His conclusion: "The contrast is not good."
to the entire country. We need long-term goals that will inspire the generation of American youth.
Friedman is right. China is investing in renewable energy and high-speed rail, and its (mostly) command economy means that these investments can be supported by the force of its authoritarian government. Among the advanced technologies Friedman discusses are electric vehicles. China has made such cars one of its "industrial pillars." But while China and Europe are focusing on innovative technologies for transportation, the United States seems to be making little progress.
Sure, political leaders make speeches promoting renewable energy and high-efficiency vehicles, but until their words are backed by broad efforts, we will only see incremental developments. And while I do not intend to advocate China's style of government control for America, history shows that our free-market principles and relatively limited government do not stop us from making big bets that have big payoffs. Today,
however, we are not willing to make the investments or the sacrifices necessary to achieve these grand goals.
It may be that the United States has outgrown its period of accepting great challenges. We may be too cynical, too skeptical of our government to take big risks. When President George W. Bush tried to channel Kennedy and announced that NASA would return to the moon and continue to Mars, few people thought there was any chance of making his seemingly arbitrary deadlines. Many doubted the goals would be achieved at all. As the last few months have shown, we sketches were right.
Truthfully, though, a literaal moon shot is not what the country needs right now. We need something even more audacious: a genuine change in the lives of Americans everywhere. The age of Kennedy and Roosevelt, when great dreams led to great results, seems to be behind us. Yet if we are to maintain our standard of living, we have no choice but to begin dreaming once more. We must not be afraid to take risks. We must not be afraid to fail. We must not be afraid to make our own future.

HEALTHCARE
Health care law not best option for the uninsured
I have a friend named Adam (I've changed his name). In an ultimate Frisbee game one afternoon, he sprinted for a catch. While catching the Frisbee, he ran into someone at full force. Losing his balance, he fell to the ground with all his weight on his ankle. To shorten the story, he was taken to the emergency room.
I'm sure some of you are wondering why I am sharing this story in a health care article. I believe there are a few misconceptions about how our current health care system is set up. The first misconception is about accessibility.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act states that anyone can go to an emergency room for treatment regardless of whether or not they are insured,or can afford to pay for treatment.In other words,it is against the law for anyone to be denied treatment based on whether they can afford to pay for it. If someone can afford it,though,they will have to pay for treatment.
The next misconception is about the quality of our health care. Being from Houston, I can brag that the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center was voted for four consecutive years to be the single best place for cancer treatment. Of course, there are many other high quality hospitals and doctors across the country. A Boston Globe article stated "the wait to see primary care doctors in Massachusetts has grown to as long as 100 days." The state government began mandating policies relating to health care and insurance. As a result, doctors began going into early retirement because they were told how much money they can charge patients, which might not even be enough to cover their costs. With fewer

doctors and still a high demand, wait time goes up even more. There is no way anyone can get quality health care with doctors retiring. President Obama's health care plan will produce the same effect, except on a national level.
The main misconception is about affordability. Some people simply just cannot afford to purchase health care. Instead of having a health care plan that truly isn't affordable, we should be using tax payer money to purchase basic insurance plans for people who can't afford insurance. This is much more effective than Obama's plan because it eliminates this cost issue. Obama's health care plan is estimated to cost around 2.5 trillion dollars. If 5 million people were covered, the cost would be 5 million dollars per person. With basic health care from private insurance companies at around 500 dollars, the cost would be only 10,000 dollars per person, which is much less money. To do this would only cost a fraction of what Obama's health care plan will cost.
I'm not saying that our health care system is perfect. What I'm really saying is that it's much better than anything that the government claims that they can provide for us.

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
"If we have learned anything over the last few years, it is to engage the media. This media outreach program definitely helps us meet that goal. Ms. Stroda is part of a new generation of journalists who will have keen insight to what we actually do on a daily (or in her case - weekly) basis. As you can see from the many military posts above, we view this media-military interaction as part of our profession. You would not have seen this kind of action (blogging) 10 years ago."
— "xz007" in response to "Chiropractors break the back of honest science" on Sept. 27.
I see a lot of extolling of the virtues of traditional medicine and science - as if somehow, solely on virtue of being establishment and "scientific", they're credible. Thing is, just because it's been approved by the FDA doesn't mean it's been "scientifically" tested out. And even if it has, medicine is a progressive field - not a static one. Anybody remember humors? The science of their time. Look at modern day chemotherapy - treating cancer with radiation? Yeah, that's never going to be looked back at as barbaric. Considering how much corruption is in modern day medicine, keeping an eye out for alternative treatments would seem to be the ideal, not the dilemma. But in a system choked by moneymongering and pretension, we can't expect real health care, instead subsisting off of a painfully authoritarian model."

Friends, family honor actor Tony Curtis' legacy and life

Injured deer makes a crash entrance
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — A deer that crashed through a window and romped around a house in East Tennessee left a family with thousands of dollars in damages and a mess that included blood stains from the homeowner shooting the animal.
David and Cheri Ellis told the Cleveland Daily Banner that their daughters had gone upstairs to their bedroom when a six-point buck jumped through a window Wednesday night at the house they are remodeling in north Bradley County.
David Ellis said he saw the deer slide into a drum set and continue a destructive rampage that included ramming its antlers through walls and scattering furnishings.
No one was hurt but deputies arrived to find the deer dying.

CARROLLTON, Ga. — The driver of a school bus lost control along a rural northern Georgia highway and overturned Monday, killing a 17-year-old student and sending several others to the hospital, authorities said.
Authorities said James Rashawn Walker of Temple was pronounced dead at the scene. The bus was driven by Kenneth Ross Herringdine, 59, of Roopville, who Carroll County Schools Superintendent Scott Coward said was a trainee.

Camp, 67, who has presided over some high profile cases, was released Monday on a $50,000 bond. His attorney, William Morrison, said after a brief hearing that the judge intends to plead not guilty. Morrison said Camp would probably take a leave of absence and would not preside over any more cases until the charges are resolved.

McDowell helps Europe defeat U.S. in Ryder Cup in the last match
OLENMÜNST
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWPORT, Wales — Graeme McDowell capped off an unforgettable year for himself — and for Europe.
In a Ryder Cup that came down to the very last match Monday, McDowell rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, then closed out Hunter Mahan to give Europe the $14\frac{1}{2}$ points it needed to reclaim the precious gold trophy.
Europe's Graeme McDowell, center, celebrates with team members and the crowd after Europe won the 2010 Ryder Cup golf tournament at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales, on Monday. It was the first time since 1991 that the Ryder Cup was decided by the final singles match. The U.S. team fared well with rookie Rickie Fowler.
It was the first time since 1991 that the Ryder Cup was decided by the final singles match, a thriller made possible by the Americans getting big wins from their best players and a stunning comeback by 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler.
Leave it to McDowell, the U.S. Open champion, to deliver another career-defining moment.
Under far greater pressure than he faced at Pebble Beach, he turned back the American rally with a birdie putt that seemed to take forever to reach the hole until it tumbled into the cup and set off a ground-shaking roar at Celtic Manor.
Europe, ahead by three points going into the final round, took the early lead in eight of the nine
So was the finish.
"Graeme McDowell was put there for a good reason — he's full of confidence and that showed," European captain Colin Montgomerie said. "That birdie on 16 was just quite unbelievable. Ouite unbelievable."
Associated Pres
matches and appeared on its way to another rout on home soil. It all turned so quickly.
Tiger Woods holed out from the fairway for eagle during a seven-hole stretch that he played in 7-under par. Steve Stricker won the opening match and Phil Mickelson built a big lead to win late. Then came Fowler, the first PGA Tour rookie to play in the Ryder Cup, winning the last three holes with birdies — including putts of 15 feet on the 17th and 18th — to earn an improbable halve against Edoardo Molinari.
"The best put I've hit in my life," McDowell said.
After a week of rain that forced the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history, more showers soon followed — only these came from bottles of champagne sprayed in every direction.
That gave the Americans $13\%$ points, and they only needed a halve in the last match to retain the cup. Just as Fowler was being mobbed by his teammates, Mahan made a nervy birdie put on the 15th to cut McDowell's lead to 1 up.
It sure didn't look that way as he blasted a tee shot down the middle and hit his approach to 15 feet, leaving him a quick putt.
"The U.S. Open felt like a back nine with my dad back at Portrush compared to that," McDowell said. "I was really nervous there. Wow! It's a different feeling. It's just so much pressure."
"It's been the best week of my
Montgomerie is renowned for a career missing only a major. This felt like one, maybe even better.
life," said Rory McIlroy, who holed a 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole to earn a half-point against Stewart Cink that turned out to be crucial.
"This is one of the finest moments of my golfing — wait a minute — this IS the greatest moment of my golfing career," he said.
Europe thrives on winning the Ryder Cup, yet this year went beyond the matches. McDowell won the U.S. Open, and Martin Kaymer of Germany won the PGA Championship, the first time two Europeans have won majors in the same year since 1999.
For U.S. captain Corey Pavin, it was a week where everything seemed to go wrong, from forgetting to introduce to Cink at the opening ceremony to rain suits that malfunctioned to pairings that blew up on him.
That changed in a two-hour window that shifted momentum, and almost the Ryder Cup, to his side.
McDowell got the loudest cheer when Montgomerie called out his
"We nearly got there today," he said. "We started off a little slow. We came back hard. We almost got there. I'm very proud of their resolve, of their sportsmanship and their fine play. I can only say it's been an honor and a privilege to call them teammates."
His voice breaking, he walked over to each of them at the closing ceremony to shake hands.
The Europeans were inspired by a phone call earlier in the week from Seve Ballesteros, the catalyst for European dominance in the Ryder Cup. He is battling brain cancer and could not travel to Celtic Manor. They kept a poster of Ballesteros in the team room, then displayed it for the crowd at closing ceremonies.
12 players one by one. They know him well in these parts. In his final tournament before winning the U.S.Open, McDowell won the Wales Open at Celtic Manor.
"That birdie on 16 was huge," Mahan said, choking back tears. "He beat me."
Mahan made a mess of the 17th, memorable because it was the last match. The bigger blow might have been Cink. He was 1 up on McIlroy and drove the par-4 15th green, only to three-putt for par and lose the hole.
Cink had a chance to go 1-up on the 17th when he missed a 5-foot birdie putt. McLloy scratched out a critical half-point on the 18th when he hit into a bunker going for the green in two, left his first shot in the bunker, and made a 5-foot par putt.
Luke Donald, who along with Poulter won three matches this week, twice made 20-foot birdie putts when Jim Furyk was
inside 4 feet to halve the holes and keep the lead, and keep Celtic Manor humming with cheers of "Luuuuuuuuke!"
Poulter led the team in passion, pumping his fists and screaming above the din with every birdie.
"We have played from the heart today," Poulter said, his face soaked with champagne. "And do you know what? We brought back this trophy. This is a special day."
Woods had his best Ryder Cup, winning his opening two matches with Stricker and bouncing back from his worst defeat to overwhelm Francesco Molinari on the back nine for a 4-and 3 victory.
Fowler and Jeff Overton, the first Americans to play in the Ryder Cup without ever having won on the PGA Tour, won key points. Overton didn't let out any "Boom, baby!" shouts, but he won three straight holes late to turn a deficit into a win over Ross Fisher.

Boise State's commanding 59-0 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night did not help the Broncos retain their No. 3 spot in The Associated Press or USA Today Coaches' polls released Sunday.

Grading the Broncos seems futile after such a dominant performance. Boise State handled the Aggies with laughable ease, jumping out to a 24-0 lead and never going through a lull. One play, to me, illustrated how in command the Broncos were. On their first possession, the Broncs faced a third-and-4. QB Kellen Moore hit Austin Pettis for an easy 5-yard

Defense
The defensive line is becoming the best unit on this team. And it's not just first-string guys like Shea McCellin, who made an amazingly athletic play to bat down a screen pass, and Ryan Winterswyk, who caught the batted ball for interception.

Monroe proves self as long-term solution for Texas team
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
One game after watching D.J. Monroe run the ball effectively as a running back and potentially provide a long-term solution at the unsettled position, Texas coach Mack Brown said the decision to sit on the sophomore running back has more to do with practice.
Namely, Monroe hasn't had enough yet.

"He's doing a good job and he's trying to learn quickly," Brown said. "It's not plays as much as protections. Protections are complicated ... D.J. is finding his place."

With the bye week before going to Lincoln to play No. 7 Nebraska on Oct.16, Brown delivered such a message to his team.
"We have to play with that heart and passion and desire each week. If we played like ( the Longhorns did against Oklahoma) against UCLA, it would have been a different game." Brown said. "We're not the type of team that can go out there and not play our best game and win."
Jay Cutler's concussion keeps him benched for the Bears
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Poke. Prod.Make Jay Cutler recite the names of all the cast members of "The Hills," if eventually that's what it takes to prove his mental acuity.
But under no circumstances can the Bears rush Cutler back to the football field, even for practice, until he shows no lingering effects from the concussion that knocked him out of the second half of Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Giants. There's no hurry even if Cutler insists to teammates he's fine.
There is no truth to the rumor that the Bears knew Cutler really was messed up at halftime when he started bugging teammates. Come to think of it, that may be an additional test to see if Cutler has regained his senses. Have Devin
Hester line up on the wrong side of a formation, as he did against the Giants, and if Cutler screams at him again then everybody will know he's back to being Jay.
In all seriousness, the Bears must err on the side of caution when it comes to Cutler. They have solid medical people who know this. They have football people who have been encouraged by league initiatives and new NFL rules to accept this. They have more at stake than beating the winless Panthers.
The decision should have less to do with Cutler playing Sunday and more to do with preserving him all season.
It will be pointed out that Panthers quarterback Matt Moore, now Jimmy Clausen's backup, didn't miss a practice and started
against the Buccaneers seven days after the Giants concussed Moore in the season opener. But I don't recall seeing tackles Frank Omiyale or Kevin Shaffer on the Panthers' depth chart.

easier for the Bears to do the right thing and place Hillenmeyer on injured reserve because of tremendous depth at linebacker. The thinking changes when it involves a franchise quarterback who's the difference between making a playoff run and worrying about draft position.
"You have warring mentalities, because both the team and the player want him on the field next week but the Bears, in this case, have to be the ones who look long-term for the best interests of lay," said Chris Nowinski, the President of the Sports Legacy Institute. Nowinski, a Hersey High grad whose playing career at Harvard was cut short due to concussions, is considered an expert on the topic.
Nowinski stressed the importance of players such as Cutler who sustain concussions being honest with their symptoms. Back in 2003 when Cutler was at Vanderbilt, for instance, he later acknowledged to a local newspaper not revealing the concussion he suffered Sept. 20, 2003, against Texas Christian. Players knew because Cutler called the wrong plays in the huddle.
The last documented concussion Cutler suffered as a pro came Dec. 31, 2006, with the Broncos when he was knocked out in the second quarter against the 49ers after a hit by current Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams. Cutler returned in the third quarter but still seemed woody when he burned three timeouts in one series and threw an interception Walt Harris returned for a touchdown in a 26-23 loss.

2K11: The Jordan time capsule
MORNING BREW
When considering the best NBA players of all time
Michael Jordan is a legend hard to deny. In his career, he played more than 1,000 games and averaged a little more than 30 points per game. And he's certainly left his mark on the league, leading his team to six titles in seven seasons. The dynasty built at Chicago is something hard to contend with.
I believe Jordan is the best to ever play the game, but some argue that Kobe Bryant is also a major contender for the number one spot. Bryant has won five championship rings, and averages more than 25 points per game so far in his career.
Besides looking at just statistics, both Jordan and Bryant have assumed the role of go-to-guy in clutch moments. Late in the game, Bryant and Jordan both have produced
game-altering plays. Their astonishing talent has distinguished both players to considerably elite statuses.
I will answer any questions you may have about the image.
The argument can be made for either Jordan or Bryant. But because

they played in different time periods, the answer can't possibly be found on the court, right?
Wrong. This year, with the introduction of "NBA 2K11," fans and gamers alike finally have the chance to simulate this exact competition. This is the first time in gaming history that Jordan has been featured in a modern game. He's even pictured on the front of the case described as, "The greatest of all-time."
In the game, you can start off with Jordan as a rookie and
THE MORNING BREW
create a new career for him. Or if you want to settle the dispute with your Lakers friend, you can match up one of Jordan's championship teams from Chicago against Kobe and his latest gang.
NBA 2K11 also has a Jordan Challenge mode. In this mode, you get to play ten of Jordan's most storied games in his career and then try to replicate his success by completing certain tasks within the game.
The game also allows you to ship Jordan around the league
to turn your favorite team into an instant contender. But I deem it unjust to add The MJ to the Miami Heat.
So there you have it. This is as close as basketball fans can get to seeing how Jordan matches up with today's players.

The watch list consists of the 50 players deemed most likely to win the Wooden Award this year, given to the nation's best player.
Morris is one of seven players from the Big 12 on the list, but
is the only Jayhawk. Colorado is the only school in the conference to have two players on the list, with senior guard Cory Higgins and sophomore guard Alec Burks named. LaceDarius Dunn (Baylor), Jacob Pullen (Kansas State), Kim English (Missouri) and Jordan Hamilton (Texas) were the other four.
Preseason watch list members Nikola Vucevic of USC and Derrick Williams of Arizona are also on the Jayhawks' nonconference slate.
Freshmen are not eligible for the preseason list.

Spartans' coach leaves hospital
Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio is out of the hospital after spending the last three days there with a blood clot in his leg, and he could coach Saturday's game at Michigan.
Athletic director Mark Hollis posted a message about Dantonio's prognosis on Twitter on Monday evening.
"Coach D is feeling great," Hollis wrote. "If his doctor gives the green light, he will be at the game on Saturday."
Associate athletics director John Lewandowski earlier said in a released statement that Sparrow Hospital in Lansing discharged Dantonio at noon EDT on Monday. Dantonio was
admitted to Sparrow on Thursday after a routine, postoperative exam showed the formation of a blood clot.
Dantonio suffered a heart attack Sept. 19 and had an emergency angioplasty hours later. He has missed MSU's last two games, against Northern Colorado and Wisconsin.
LOS ANGELES — Lane Kiffin had not walked out of the Coliseum on the losing end of a football game since 2001.
That also was the last year USC was unranked during the regular season.
USC loses, drops from AP top 25
But that changed Sunday, the Trojans' 32-31 loss to Washington the night before dropping the Trojans out of The Associated Press top 25 media poll and putting Kiffin on the spot as he attempts to rally his players for Saturday's game at Stanford.
A loss to Oregon dropped Stanford from ninth to 16th in the AP poll, but coach Jim Harbaugh's Cardinal is among Pacific 10 Conference teams no longer intimidated by the Trojans.
Washington was only the latest Pac-10 opponent to show no regard for what was once a tremendous home-field advantage.
"I don't think teams are intimidated to play us because we aren't playing very well," Kiffin said Sunday night during a teleconference with reporters.

Jayhawks must use bye week to refocus
NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
P. ALMEZ
BY MAX VOSBURGH The biggest question that remains after Kansas' 55-7 loss to
The biggest question that remains after Kansas' 55-7 loss to Baylor is how this team will respond to such adversity.
We may already know the answer.
You could make a case that the Jayhawks' historically lopsided loss to Baylor was just as embarrassing as the loss to Division 1-AA North Dakota State. Kansas responded the next week by beating No. 15 Georgia Tech at home. Kansas came out looking inspired, ready to prove to its fans they were better than what they showed in their first game.
- Edited by Sean Tokarz
The Jayhawks will have the same opportunity to redeem themselves in two weeks when they play in-state rival Kansas State.
The game, which was moved from Saturday, Oct. 16 to Thursday, Oct. 14, will be televised nationally on Fox Sports Net.
It has been my personal observation that when the Jayhawks begin a game full of passion and energy, they win. In contrast, they haven't appeared to have that same spark in games that they've lost.
If the Jayhawks can respond against Kansas State the same way they did against North Dakota State, not all hope will be lost.
The bye week comes at a perfect time for the Jayhawks. They have plenty of time to refresh themselves mentally and prepare for their biggest game so far.
"We will regroup and I believe we will get that together," senior safety Olatan Oguntodu said.
For now however, the Jayhawks will go into their bye week watching tape to determine if certain players checked out of the Baylor game early.
Kansas State plays at Nebraska this week in a match-up that may be the early favorites to win the Big 12 North. It won't be an easy game for the Wildcats and they won't be nearly as rested as the Jayhawks before the Sunflower Showdown.
The Jayhawks have a big week ahead of them. They need to use the next 10 days before that match-up to motivate themselves from the Baylor game. If they come out asleep against Kansas State, they might not be able to save face this season.
"I don't think our guys totally quit," coach Turner Gill said. "But we will look at that some more on tape. Obviously we were a step too slow on a lot of things both offensively and defensively."

When Turner Gill held his first press conference as the new Kansas football coach, he emphasized that he was here to help shape young men first and win football games second.
Now Gill is turning heads with some of his unorthodox ways.
Gill implemented numerous new rules in the Kansas players' manual after taking over this spring. Among the rules are bans on cursing and cell phone use the day before games. However, it was the ban on player interaction with members of the opposite sex after
10 p.m. Gill defended Monday.
"We're just teaching them discipline," Gill said during the Big 12 coaches' teleconference. "I'm not going to go into all the details of what we have on our team policies and all those things, but everything that we do is all about disciplining our guys and preparing them for life with football and preparing for them for life without football. It's just part of our makeup"
The rule was implemented to ensure players maintain self-discipline and avoid some of the temptations that come with college life.
"We've explained everything to our players, and were teaching them about discipline and about
life and discipline also with foot ball." Gill said.
Almost all of the players asked to adhere to the new rule are holdovers recruited by former coach Mark Mangino. While the previous regime had its share of rules, the current Kansas roster is being asked to observe policies they were unaware would be in place when they were recruited. But these policies have not harmed the team on the field, Gill said.
"There hasn't been any negative reaction to anything." Gill said. "We've just been inconsistent in playing the game of football, just like any other teams."
Gill said the policy, directed at improving treatment of women.
should not scare away future recruits from the program but did not rule out the possibility.
"I guess it could, but we can explain," Gill said. "It's not that big of a deal. It's really just a situation of trying to teach guys how to do things in the proper way and be respectful to women and be respectful to everything that we do in our society. It's teaching people all about things about life."
Kansas coaches collect player cell phones in Ziploc bags the day before a game, as shown in the weekly Kansas football documentary "The Gridiron." The policy surprised players at first, but it is a concession many are willing to make to take the field.
"Some guys, of course, like to talk to their parents and family members before the games," said sophomore wide receiver Bradley McDougald said, "but it's just a small price you have to pay."
Senior punter Alonso Rojas observed similar policies his freshman year at Bowling Green. Not everyone likes the policy, he said, but keeping in line with the coach's wishes is important to everyone.
"There are always going to be guys who don't like it more than others," Rojas said, "but we're a team and our coach expects us to do something, so we're going to do it."

SOCCER
Defense aids in victory and helps lessen defeat
The Jayhawks' defense continued its solid play over the weekend, but split its matches with one win and one loss.
The Aggies totaled 27 shots, but another strong performance from Kansas' sophomore goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau kept them in the game. She recorded nine saves, including a few impressive diving plays.
BY JACKSON DELAY idelay@kansan.com
Not even the combination of Liebetrau at goal and the strong defense was able to stop the Jayhawks from falling to the Aggies, 1-0.
On Friday, Kansas held the Texas A&M offense, which had been averaging 2.64 goals per game, to just one.
On Sunday, the defenses' play paid off in Kansas beat Texas 1-0 for its first victory over the Longhorns since 2005.
Senior defender Lauren Jackson said the defenses' ability to communicate was a key factor in the win.
"We are always on the same page and we play good together," she said.
"I think we played good solid all around defense. Not just the defenders, but midfielders playing defense and forwards playing
This also marked the Jayhawks' fourth shut out of the year.
The concept of team defense was displayed well by sophomore forward Whitney Berry in the second half.
Jackson also noted that the shut out was a team effort.

side of the field to track down a Texas player and get the ball back
Francis said he has been able to rely on the defense, and will continue to look to them for help in improving the teams 1-3 conference record.
"The defenders are playing well, but they have been pretty consistent all year," he said. "Those guys are making it difficult for other teams to score, which gives you a chance to win the game."

Behind the scenes in boot camp
In the seventh week of basic training, privates at Fort Leonard Wood tackle heavy machine guns.
BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com
Editor's note: For one week, Kansan reporter Kelly Stroda was embedded in Fort Leavenworth in Leavenworth, Kan., and Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, through a media in the military program. Read the blog describing her experiences at Kansan.com.
Gunshot after gunshot rings out. Bang. Bang. Bang.
The intensity is earsplitting without earplugs. When the noise stops, the silence feels deafening — until you hear the echo of gunshots a few seconds later.
This is all routine business at U.S. Weapons, Range 18 at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
Learning to shoot machine guns is part of basic training for Army recruits. Each year, about 27,000 soldiers go through basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, according to its website.
POWERFUL KNOWL- EDGE
Last Wednesday, almost 100 privates took to the range for lessons on belt-fed machine guns — M240Bs and M249s. The weapons are 41 and 49 inches long, respectively.
Jeffery Woerth.
Knowing how to effectively use belt-fed machine guns, however, could be vital if a soldier is deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Woerth said soldiers could be assigned as gunners on the top of Hum-vees or other military vehicles.
Even if those guns aren't the personal weapons each soldier may use in the future, it's important for privates to learn weapon basics, said 1st lt.
Pvt. Malik Steen said he enlisted to change the pace of his life. He said he wanted to do something other than sports, which held done most of his life. He had never fired a gun before joining the Army.
"It just vibrated against my shoulder. I expected more of a recoil, you know?"
Steen said when he was firing the guns, he wondered what it would be like to shoot guns in a "real war."
"It was fun," he said, "because that's badass."

tive eyewear and backpack canteens. This makes maneuvering more difficult, privates said. The vest and helmet alone weigh more than 35 pounds. Kilmer said he thought the bulletproof vest might have softened the power of the recoil.

Basic training is a 10-week program. It is split into three phases — red, white and blue.
SEE ARMY ON PAGE 3A
Soldiers learn the core values of the Army as well as tradition and ethics. Basic combat skills, teamwork and physical fitness are a focus. In this controlled environment, officers help transform the former civilians into soldiers.
HOW DOES BASIC TRAINING WORK?
RED PHASE: WEEKS 1-3
Weapons proficiency, physical fitness, skill development and self-discipline are emphasized in this phase. Officers control the environment less, as the soldiers are expected to show more responsibility. Hand-to-hand training and a 72-hour field training exercise are highlights.
WHITE PHASE: WEEKS 4-6
BLUE PHASE: WEEKS 7-10
tical training, soldier leadership, increased self-discipline and teamwork are the center of this phase. Soldiers use the skills they have learned in a 96-hour field training exercise. The blue phase stresses the soldier physically and mentally. At the end of this phase, there is a graduation ceremony.

Legislation loopholes make K3 a legal substance
(1)
BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com
The problem with making K2 illegal was that the law is nearly impossible to enforce.
K2, a synthetic drug with compounds that affect the same brain receptors as marijuana, has been outlawed in 13 states. Kansas was the first to outlaw it in March.
But just as easily as legislators banned K2, chemicals made K3.
K3 has several variations and names, such as "Heaven Scent" or "Syn." The new batch of creations is legal and acts exactly as K2 did — they just use different chemical compounds than the ones that made K2 made illegal.
The K3 variations are also sold in several places around Missouri, including Columbia, where the University of Missouri is located. This is all in spite of the fact that K2 was made illegal on Aug. 28 in this state.
JWH-018, the compound used in K2, is currently illegal in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee.
Jill Wienke, a spokeswoman for the Columbia, Mo., Police Department said, "Visually, you can't tell the difference between the old K2 and the new stuff."
QUICK FACTS ABOUT K3
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY SPENCER WALSH/KANSAN
John W. Huffman, from Clemson University, developed the JWH compounds, named after his initials, while he researched the effect of marijuana. There are hundreds of the JWH compounds, and some respond more strongly to humans than others. K2 used a JWH compound, and most legal K3 blends do also.
She said if police come across a bag of white powder, they can test for cocaine, meth and heroin.
However, the police don't have a
test for K2.
"It's almost an unenforceable law," Wieneke said. "It's difficult to crack down on something you can't identify."
Although K3 is sold in Columbia, stores in Lawrence still might
hesitate to sell it, especially in light of how quickly authorities deal with K2 last year.
Food and Drug Administration agents raided Sacred Journey, 1103 Massachusetts St. in February.
The FDA confiscated the store's stock of K2 along with other herbs.
although K2 was legal at the time.
Sacred Journey's supplier, Oskaloosa-based Bouncing Bear Botanicals, also had its warehouse raided.
The company's owner, Jonathan Sloan, was arrested during that raid for possession of controlled subs
All charges against him were later dropped.Sgt. Matt Sarna of the Lawrence Police Department said that K2 hasn't been a problem since it was outlawed.

There has been sobbing, teary eyes, hugs and the sharing of stories among those at the fiesta who knew Abruzzo, 47, of Albuquerque, and Davis, 65, of Denver. The event draws hundreds of pilots and more than 800,000 spectators to Albuquerque each year.

A group of privates wait in line last Wednesday to shoot M240Bs — belt-fed machine guns — at U.S. Weapons, Range 18 at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Each private had 50 rounds of ammunition to shoot.
ARMY (CONTINUED FROM 3A)
TAKING AIM
Lying on wooden platforms, the privates sprawl out behind the machine guns, which are propped up by a bipod. Vivid orange human silhouettes perch on dirt piles 500 to 1000 meters away.
As the privates shoot at their targets, the belt of ammunition gradually zips through the left side of their weapons. Shell cases fly from the right. Small clouds
of smoke emerge from the barrels and drift away. Each fifth round has a bit of phosphorous on the end that burns after the ammunition leaves the gun
As private shoot the M240Bs, red dots blast from the barrels and whiz down the range. Some of the dots hit the ground several hundred meters away and ricochet into the air.
Woerth said these dots were tracers — a way for soldiers to
see if their aiming and shooting matched up.
Pfc. Brittany Longhenry said that even though she had used guns while hunting, shooting the machine guns was "a shock" at first.

Coffee Wonk, 3535 Broadway Blvd., in Kansas City, Mo., has sold a version of "Heaven Scent" for a while, but changed the chemical compounds after the August ban to ensure it was still legal. Coffee Wonk was robbed around 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 29. The robber took cash and packets of "Heaven
Scent." During the investigation, Coffee Wonk also had its supply of "Heaven Scent" confiscated by Kansas City police.
Police told Micha Riggs, the owner of the coffee shop, that if his supply didn't contain any of the illegal compounds he previously sold, he would get his stock back soon. He still hasn't gotten it back.
Coffee Wonk will still sell "Heaven Scent," once they get it back anyway.
The laws against K2 prove that
police both locally and across Missouri take it seriously. But the question of how well they can enforce these laws remains.
Kinsey Berger, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she smoked K2 when it was legal. She said police were fighting a losing battle.
"If they want to make it illegal, whatever," she said. "They're just going to come out with K3, K4, K5."

KU releases safety report
MCNAUGH TON

Ashlee Burleson often finds herself leaving campus alone late at night. But she isn't worried for her safety.
"I will walk to my car at two in the morning and I won't care," said Burleson, a first-year graduate student in architecture from Round Rock, Texas.
Burleson said she didn't know the University released its annual security report — which includes safety policies and crime statistics last week.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for Student Success, said she thought this was not unusual among students because they felt safe on campus. She said she wished they would pay more attention to the report and cautioned students not to become too lax about safety.
"It is important to raise awareness and to let people know that we are not a crime free community." Roney said. "But we are very low crime."
Forcible sex offenses, including rape, increased from six cases in 2008 to eight cases in 2009. Despite the increase, Roney said that sexual violence was still not reported often enough.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the number of reported crimes at the University had decreased 34 percent since 1999. Bailey, an officer with the Public Safety Office, credited the decline to police patrol, camera surveillance and educational efforts for students and staff.
"If I look across categories, that would be one area that sadly I am confident is under-reported," Roney said.
Crime rates at the University of Missouri are close to those in Lawrence. In 2009, Missouri had six aggravated assaults, compared with the University's four. However, Missouri's burglarly rate is lower — 18 in 2009 to 38 at the University.
Bailey said although the overall numbers for the University were down, the Public Safety Office still reminded students to use common sense when it came to personal safety.
Roney agreed with Bailey. She said people could get very comfortable and forget about common sense and each other.

"I do think that we need to continue to help our campus community understand that safety needs to be at the top of everyone's list and that we need to watch out for each other." Ronev said.
Tasia Rayton, a second-year graduate student from Lawrence, said that she was aware of her surroundings and diligent about
locking her doors but still felt comfortable on campus.
"I just feel like the probability of something happening here, compared to other areas like Austin, aren't that high." Rayton said. "I just don't think I'm going to get shanked or anything around here."

Club calls for less strict punishment in marijuana cases
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
Thomas Deacon was tired of his friends getting in trouble for smoking marijuana in their dorms. So Deacon and his friend Jacob Fox decided to organize the "Kansas University National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws," a new club on campus advocating for changes to the campus' marijuana rules.
"We just felt the University was punishing students for smoking pot harsher than those caught with alcohol, almost encouraging people to drink instead of smoke," said Fox, a sophomore from Landenburg, Penn.
According to the University Student Handbook, students who violate the drug policy could be subject to various sanctions, including expulsion. If students are caught in dorms, their housing contracts could be terminated.
Fox, president of the club, said he understood that students needed to follow the rules. But, he said, one major problem he sees is that the University could call the police if a student is caught smoking marijuana, even though the police aren't called in cases of underage drinking.
The club's mission is to minimize the punishment for having marijuana on campus, as well as increase student awareness about marijuana, something Fox equates to the battle between David and Goliath.
The club has been running since spring 2010, when it had five members. This fall, the club has 45 members.
The group has tried to spread knowledge about marijuana stigmas through various events on campus. Its main event last semester was called "Project SAFER — Safter Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation." The group pitched a
tent outside of Wescoe Hall and encouraged people to come by and ask questions they had about marijuana and its stigmas.
"It's just a drug but is beneficial in a wide range of both mental and physical health issues," said club member Chay Howard, a sophomore from Wichita.
The club members stress that K2 and K3 are not the same as marijuana. In fact, they said they dislike that the two are associated with one another and that K3 is actually toxic.
"It's too new of a drug to know the long-term effects," Howard said. "If you read the label it says 'not intended for human consumption' and is actually toxic."
The club is planning to have a T-shirt drive in which members and students tie-dye their own shirts with the club logo on the front. Fox said he hoped this drive along with a few other 'in the works' projects would help raise enough money to have a free concert for the student body.
He said he knew the dream of a free concert was a year or two down the road, but the club leaders are focused on the present.
"We want to get rid of the 'gateway' label," said Morgan Albright, a sophomore from Lawrence. "We got it from our baby-boomer parents, that once we try this drug we will start trying everything."
The club members know they are facing an up-hill battle to attempt to get rid of such harsh punishment for smoking marijuana on campus. However, they encourage people to help fight off marijuana stigmas whenever they have the opportunity.
"We want people to not be afraid to speak up for the positives of marijuana and to fight off negative stigmas," Fox said.

Family blames slow-to action Mexican authorities in son's shooting death
DENVER — The father of an American man who was allegedly killed by pirates in a lake on the Texas-Mexico border accused Mexican authorities of being corrupt and said Tuesday they're not doing enough to find his son's body.

The district attorney in charge of the case, Marco Antonio Guerrero Carizales, also told the newspaper that authorities "are not certain that the incident happened the way that they are telling us."
Rolando Armando Flores Villegas, the Tamaulipas State Police commander overseeing the search for David Hartley, told the McAllen (Texas) Monitor on Monday that no one near the lake reported hearing gunshots or the sound of anyone on a Jet Ski.
Dennis Hartley said he doesn't believe the Mexican authorities and that they were being paid off by drug cartels. "I don't think anything right now is being done," he said. "I don't think at this time Mexico is really doing anything."
Mexican authorities have not responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press.

Director of '300' looks for the return of Superman
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Zack Snyder, the director of the edgy comic-book films "300" and "Watchmen," will direct the Warner Bros. revival of Superman.
The 44-year-old Snyder will work side-by-side with producers Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, the tandem that pulled the Batman character back toward cinematic credibility with the films "Batman Begins" and "The Dark
Knight," the latter grossing more than $1 billion at theaters worldwide. David S. Goyer ("Batman Begins") is writing the script and shares the credit with Nolan.
Snyder has shown a flair for kinetic hyper-reality and, in an interview Monday, he said that in recent days he finds that he "lays awake at night" thinking about the ways to present a Man of Steel who flies.
He declined to talk about story or casting — “He has to be a man ... that's as far as I've got: n” — but
did say the film will target a holiday 2012 release.
"I have a fondness for the character and a real desire to understand him and present him to a new audience," Snyder said. "The challenge is huge ... it is a hard character to crack."
The perception that the character may have a bigger past than future may have been reinforced by the solid but unspectacular performance of Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" in 2006.

Directors take film down a new path
Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden have collaborated on some of the most acclaimed films of the past decade. "Half Nelson" (2006), their penetrating portrait of a drug-addicted junior high school teacher, earned Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination for best actor. And "Sugar" (2008), about a Dominican baseball player and his quest for success in America, was as insightful as it was absorbing.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Although both films scored with critics, who were impressed with their originality, neither attracted audiences beyond the art-house crowd. But with the comedy-drama "It's Kind of a Funny Story," opening Friday, the married writing-directing duo just might break through to the mainstream.
The film boasts a strong supporting cast that includes Zach Galifianakis ("The Hangover"), Emma Roberts ("Hotel for Dogs") and Viola Davis ("Eat Pray Love"). Still, its greatest asset is Keir Gilchrist ("United States of Tara") who turns in a potentially star-making performance as Craig Gilner, a smart but mixed-up teenager who checks into an adult psychiatric ward.
With their latest film, Fleck and Boden are primed to make the transition from independent-film stalwarts to Hollywood power players in much the same way as Spike Lee ("Inside Man"), Martin Scorsese ("The Departed") and Steven Soderbergh ("Ocean's Eleven").
"It's tough," Fleck said. "But we just stuck with it, and we've been very lucky."
In a recent phone interview from Boston, however, the duo emphasized that whether their films are considered indie or mainstream is secondary to getting them made.
Fleck and Boden met on the set of a student film at New York University. After working together on documentaries, they made the short film "Gowanus, Brooklyn," which won a prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and was a precursor to "Half Nelson."
"It's Kind of a Funny Story" is based on Ned Vizzini's young-adult novel. But the screen version was also inspired by the films of writer-director John Hughes
— particularly "The Breakfast Club" (1985), in which five teens, each representing a high-school stereotype, are forced to deal with each other during a stint in detention.
"Those were some of our favorite movies growing up," Boden said. "When we read the book, we thought it was a great opportunity to do something in that vein."
Like Hughes' films, Fleck said, Vizzini's book "dealt with teenage issues from a teen perspective — not through an adult lens, looking back with a hint of cynicism or sarcasm."
Hughes' other ten-oriented works include "Sixteen Candles" (1984), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986) and, as a screenwriter, "Pretty in Pink" (1986).
Accordingly, "It's Kind of a Funny Story" unreels from Craig's viewpoint.
While struggling to deal with his depression, he becomes involved with some of his fellow patients — including Noelle (Robertts), to whom he becomes attracted despite her physical and psychological scars, and Bobby (Galifianakis), who's generally friendly but given to mood swings.
Stylistically, the film is more adventurous than Fleck and Boden's previous work, allowing for whimsical cutaways that may remind film buffs of the work of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Amelie") while mostly remaining in a conventional mode.

New law would combat bullying and harassment
DISCRIMINATION
In the last three weeks, four young people across the nation have committed suicide due to anti-gay harassment. How young were they?
Seeth Vaalam, in California, was 13 when he hung himself. Asher Brown, in Texas, was also 13 when he shot himself in the head. Billy Lucas, in Indiana, was 15 when he hung himself. Tyler Clementi, at Rutgers University in New Jersey, was 18 when he jumped off a bridge. These tragedies highlight the necessity of having antibullying legislation and support networks for LGBTQ youth, and the detriment that anti-gay environments cause for people.
There is no doubt that we as Americans are living in an environment hostile to LGBTQ people, and this hostility especially hurts teenagers who are particularly vulnerable to peer abuse and do not know of the resources and recourse available to them, if it's available at all. In many cases, LGBTQ students do not have any option but to deal with the harassment on their own.
Currently there are only eight states in the country that have anti-bullying laws that explicitly address bullying based on gender and sexual orientation.
When states do have these laws, there is at least a bigger chance that tortured teenagers do not have to put up with the harassment that, according to a very recent National Education Policy Center study, affects 85 percent of LGBTQ high schoolers, or the physical attacks

Progressive Perspective

afree@kansan.com
This piece of legislation, introduced in August, would require public schools to create sex- and gender-specific anti-bullying strategies.
This is why students should support the Safe Schools Improvement Act.
It's not the whole solution, but it's definitely something to go on. High school is hard enough even if one doesn't have to deal with such blatant, ignorant harassment, remember.
Kids in hundreds of schools are suffering partly because schools tend to ignore bullying based on sexual orientation. I don't know about you, but I can't bear the thought of one of my young siblings having to go through a constant battle at school. No one should be in that situation.
Apart from government action, there are other projects appearing that support gay kids. The Trevor
Project is a national organization focused on suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth, and it's been around for a while.
The "It Gets Better Project" is a brand new initiative begun by none other than Dan Savage, of the famous "Savage Love" syndicated sex and relationships column.
Formed directly in response to the recent several suicides, the It Gets Better Youtube channel is full of videos from hundreds of adults from the gay community, including some celebrities, talking about their experiences in school and their current lives.
They are all there to tell LGBTQ youth the messages they aren't hearing anywhere else — that they are normal, that they are fine, that the unbeatable bigotry and isolation in high school won't last, that it does get better.
Is anyone in your life having trouble? Maybe they are and you don't know about it. Dan Savage's project is so fantastic because adults are telling kids what they need to hear. The knowledge that there is someone out there like you, who has experienced what you are experiencing, is powerful. Spread the word about the It Gets Better Project — you may save someone's life.
And support the Safe Schools Improvement Act. Being a teenager is hard enough.

Product placements fall flat
I never realized how cool Aston Martins are until I saw Daniel Craig drive one off a cliff as James Bond in "Quantum of Solace"
I never realized how refreshing Coca-Cola is until I watched Simon Cowell sip a big red cup of it on "American Idol." I never realized how charming American Airlines is until George Clooney handsomely sat aboard an AA aircraft in "Up in the Air"
After seeing each of these things, my regular nightly dreamscape was replaced by a repeating plot of flying an AA plane into an Aston Martin while Daniel Craig and George Clooney shower me in Coca Cola.
With the advent of TiVo and other ways to digitally record and watch TV shows and skip those doggone commercials, companies need a new way to convince us how awesome their stuff is and how we should totally buv it.
Or so these companies would hope.
The answer: product placement.

their plots to suit a corporate sponsor? Don't answer that question. Of course there are worse things than this. This is a sick world we live in. All right.
What could be worse, what in the world could be worse, than films and television shows bending
It's possible, I admit, for product placement to add to a piece of art. This can be seen in comedies for purposes of irony. Tina Fey's "30 Rock" is littered with brands. Alec Baldwin once sang an ode onscreen to the McFlurry. Fey later claimed that no cash exchanged hands for the McFlurry bit – it was product placement done to benefit the plot
All right, it's open mind time. God I hate this part.
And who could forget Stephen Colbert's Doritos Spicy Sweet Pennsylvania primary coverage from Chili-Delphia. I know I couldn't; it was too delicious. Colbert grasped the reins of product placement and tasted the spicy sweet monetary awards. He also earned some chuckles in the process. Success.
But can product placement succeed beyond the accommodatingly ironic sphere of comedy?
Jason Reitman's 2009 "Up in the Air" suggests so. Rather than inventing a fictional airline to
fly George Clooney around his loveless world, Reitman instead struck a deal with American Airlines and Hilton Hotels to accommodate his crew throughout filming in return for Clooney making their brands look sexy in an old-guy kind of way.
Money saved. But the embedded advertisement has perks beyond mere financial savvy. "Up in the Air" scores major believability points for its incorporation of real-world brands. Which is the point of a brand – to make us feel comfortable. We know exactly what we're getting with a well-known brand, and when that familiarity translates to film, an audience is given an extra boost toward relating to fictitious characters and their experiences.
There, I said it. The incorporation of corporate sponsors can help a film. I feel dirty. Someone call up Craig and Clooney to wash me in Diet Coke.

RELATIONSHIPS
Life events put school and GPA in perspective
W when I was seven my only brother, Michael, died
suddenly of brain complications, shattering every bit of life as I once knew it into a million pieces.
From that day forward, I have been forced to search for significance to all the struggles my family underwent due to his sudden absence.
Somewhere in my road of repair, I found someone to help fill some of the gaps that Michael once occupied. His name is Jordan. We met when we were both clueless 14-year-olds and he's been one of my only friends who has continuously cared for me for more than six years. Translation: He's been there through all the bullshit

And in the midst of the chaos, jordan's grandfather died. And two hours before his grandfather's wake, I sat selfishly staring at my to-do list, cursing at the overwhelming workload I had to somehow complete within the next 48 hours.

Anyway, these last couple weeks for me have been a blur of living life Red Bull to Red Bull (because sleep really isn't necessary), mindlessly juggling work, papers, tests, interviews and occasionally trying to squeeze in some sort of social contact for the sake of sanity. On top of that, I got sick with a nasty cold that sucked the little energy I had out of me, which required me to spend twice as much money on caffeine (so yeah, sleep is kind of important).

I momentarily lost all sense of perspective I gained from my brother's death.
No grade could have possibly replaced the significance of that evening.
So I threw on the first black dress I could find and headed east. At the wake, I hugged my teary-eyed pseudo-brother, visibly shaken by the loss of his grandfather. As I sat in the second pew of the funeral home I was overwhelmed with clarity.
Because, in the aftermath, death teaches us things. It clearly separates the things that matter in life from the things that don't. And although I was little, I still remember the people who supported my family and me during that time. And I'm still thankful.
Because when all is said and done, your GPA won't be there to mourn your death, but your friends and family you once sacrificed your GPA will be.

Alumnus donation spreads music
$400,000 will benefit KU School of Music
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
In the small town of Osawatonie, people anticipate each weekend as if a famous rock band was coming to play in their city. Osawatonie, a town of 4,600 people, is one of the poorest cities in Miami County, but each weekend KU students and alumni bring free musical performances to a local church.
"There is always a buzz of 'Who is coming this week?'" said Leslie King, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Osawatomie.
King said the arts are not strongly represented in Osawatomie, and people would never have been as interested in them it wasn't for these concerts.

Zakoura's donation through the School of Music will be split between the Midwestern Music Academy, a summer program for youths; a music professorship; scholarships for music students; and an outreach program that
takes free-of-charge musical performances throughout Kansas.
fortnances through Because of the Zakoura Outreach Fund, students like Charles Martinez, a doctoral student from Wichita, has been able to perform at the church in Osawatton once a month through the past year, as well as in other towns, such as Paola.
Although the opportunity to perform is a major benefit for students like Martinez, he sees the connection he makes with the people of Paola and Osawatomie as beneficial to the School of Music. He said people who have seen him sing in Osawatomie have then come to performances at the University, Robert Walzel, dean of the School of Music, said these new connections were essential for the University's and the school's growth.
"It makes it so much more possible for things like that to happen," Martinez said.
"This is a person who has a
vision for connecting KU to the state of Kansas through music in ways that the University has never connected before" Walzel said of Zakoura.
Zakoura started the Zakoura Outreach Fund, along with other contributions to the school, because he has seen how music can be the connection point between every corner of the state and the University.
Every one of the performances made possible by Zakouras help is free to the public so that no one will be turned away simply because of their financial situation. Zakoura said.

Walzel, Zakoura and King all look forward to continuing the outreach efforts through the school of music into the future.

Higher education goals set by Regents
STATE
Focus on better retention, graduation rates.
BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com
Recognizing the need for long-term goals in higher education, the Board of Regents approved a 10-year strategic plan last month to set Kansas on the right course.
Gary Sherrer, chairman of the Board of Regents, said that setting long-term, measurable goals is the only way to move higher education forward and raise its effectiveness.
The plan, entitled "Foresight 2020", represents three years of input from the Regents and the state's public colleges and universities. It is designed to improve the quality of Kansas' higher education system with the aid specific deadlines and targets. These include a revising a set of university admission standards by June 2011 and increasing retention and graduation rates by 10 percent within 10 years.
"We need to ensure that we're going to have a better,stronger system in a decade than we have right now," Sherrer said.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the University's goals fit very well under those set forth by the Regents, especially in the areas of student recruitment and retention, improving graduation rates and enhancing research engagement. She said she thought it would be important to maintain a long-term plan for higher education in Kansas.
For Sherrer, the broad nature of the goals have long been a desired ambition among those involved in the state's education systems. He said he thinks that Foresight 2020 would act as a guide for state administrators as they work to improve the higher education system and the economy over the next decade.
"The University will improve, as will the system, when it has well thought out goals to aspire to," Gray-Little said.
Public opinion leaders, elected officials and taxpayers want to know that their dollars are being
THE SIX MAIN STRA TEGIC GOALS OF FOREIGHT 2020
- Achieve alignment between the state's preK-12 and higher education institutions;
- engages adult learners Improve retention and
- Improve retention and graduation rates in institutions across the state;
- Create a higher education system that better reflects the state's demographics and more fully engages adult learners;
- Ensure that students have the fundamental skills essential for career and life success;
- Enhance the alignment between higher education and the needs of the state's economy
- Develop the regional and national reputations of Kansas universities.
spent in a strategic way to educate Kansas citizens while moving the state's economy forward, Gray Little said.
The new plan formalizes these goals and sets up objectives to achieve them. One of the economy-related objectives is exceeding the regional average for degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering and mathematic by 2020. Producing more graduates in these areas will support the growing engineering and technology sectors in Kansas.
Danny Anderson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Foresight 2020 would be part of a larger national goal to remain competitive by increasing the number of workers with post-secondary degrees.
"Kansas is changing and higher education needs to be ready." Anderson said.

Police said officers went to the motel and were told by the woman that her boyfriend did nothing during the day but smoke marijuana.

Preseason poll places Jayhawks in second
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
The six-time defending champions of the Big 12 will not make it seven, if the conference coaches are right in their preseason poll.
Kansas, which has claimed the league crown in the previous six seasons, received only two of the 12 first place votes, with Kansas State taking the other 10. The Wildcats were picked to win the league for the first time since its formation in 1996. Kansas was picked to finish second.
This marks the second time in three years that the Jayhawks were picked to finish outside the top slot. They were picked to finish third in the Big 12 in 2008-2009, but won with a 14-2 conference record.
Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own team in the poll.

New bill concerns concussions
MORNING BREW
To the retired NFL player turned vegetable who bites his lip (if he still can) as he wins th
still can) as he winces through old takes of ESPNs "Jacked Up"; There is something to cheer about (again, if you still can).
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that allocates athletic, educational and medical experts to devise guidelines for when or if a player can return to a sport after a concussion. The bill was sponsored by New Jersey democrat Bill Pascrell and responds to several reports of long term post-concussion issues (mostly from football) following mistreatment of the injury.
The bill whispers that we may be veering away from our hit happy, and in some ways, barbaric culture.
A RIVALRY GONE AWRY
Police from Branford, Conn., claim that a New Hampshire native was stabbed in a bar fight about the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees rivalry.
Some may argue that football players have concussions coming to them by playing such a physical sport. Well, a) it's got nothing on rugby, where jabbing a metal cleat at an opponent's face could be considered strategy and b) concussions will always be a part of the sport (with the current rules), so we might as well figure out how to treat them properly.
New Haven, Conn., native John Mayor,
not to be confused with the pacifist pop
singer, was arrested Saturday night and
charged with "assault and other offenses."
BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com
The victim was Nashua, N.H. native Monte Freire.
The Associated Press release did not state which team each man supported, though considering geography here, one has to assume that it was the Red Sox fan getting stabbed.
Vulgar jokes, victimizing t-shirts and repetitive chants are on one level. Stabbing someone over a baseball feud? I never thought I'd say this, but if these claims are true, Mayor took the greatest sports rivalry too far.
Atlanta Braves skipper Bobby Cox is back in the playoffs in the last of his 29th season in a baseball dugout. His team begins its World Series quest against the beatable San Francisco Giants and must have a little extra something considering that this is the last go around for the legendary manager.
After a dismal third place season (sorry Royals fans, but this doesn't float in Boston) and now news like this, Red Sox nation bleeds with you Monte.
THE MORNING BREW
COX'S LAST HURRAH
Cox's Braves were the class of baseball in the 90s. Led by superstar third baseman Chipper Jones and a pitching trio of Greg Maddux (arguably the greatest locator ever), Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, Atlanta won the National League East Division 14 consecutive seasons.
But even greater than the victories was Cox's demeanor. He defended his players as if they were his sons. He chewed out umpires on offy calls. He showed respect to veterans who knew how to play the game. He batted Jones third in his rookie season, ahead of sluggers David Justice and Javy Lopez.
"He makes you feel so special about what you do," catcher David Ross said. "Even if it's the smallest thing you can do for your team, he notices it."
And even after all of the success he's logged in the past, here's hoping of' Bobby gets another ring this October.

Jeff Withey has the ultimate pick-up line. Jordan Juenemann just couldn't wait to reveal it.
"It's 'Hey, baby girl,'" Jordan said. Then Jeff repeated it in his own trademark fashion.
Because when girls hear it, it apparently, it can only mean Jeff Withey.
"Oh, they know what's up," he said.
"Jeff Withey, man," Jordan said. "He knows what to say. He's good with words."
These guys know everything about each other. Almost too much.
I was just thinking if I came all the way from California and I didn't have any of my family, I'd want to have someone to take me in like that," Jordan said.
Their friendship has since grown. Take this summer for instance.
The two were seen in Las Vegas, Denver and briefly in Jordan's hometown of Hays. But the bulk of their summer adventures came when they traveled to Jeff's hometown of San Diego, staying in a beach house for two and a half weeks.
"Yo, baby girl, what you doin?"
be said
One of those sunny southern California days, jordan was driving an 18-passenger van in downtown San Diego. They saw a girl running by, and Jeff called her out.
J o r d a n , watching his big man at work, didn't notice a car backing up in front of him. He slammed on the breaks to avoid colliding into the other vehicle with his giant van and
"Jordan is a little smooth talker. He knows how to get what he wants."
o1amed Jeff for the distraction.
"I was like, 'I saw it the whole time' Jordan said.
"lordan is a little smooth talker," Jeff said. "He knows how to get what he wants."
But Jordan couldn't take all the credit.
Later on, they went to the mall. And without flaunting his Kansas basketball status, Jordan made friends with a girl. She worked at the store. And she hooked him up with free clothes.
"It's not just me," he said. "It helps having a seven-foot attractive dude."
The fun in San Diego wasn't over. For three weeks, Jordan and Jeff fooled everyone with what appeared
Jeff said this is not uncommon. Jordan likes to befriend people and get discounts wherever he goes.
to be tattoos on their arms.
to be tattoos on their arms.
"I will never get a real tattoo," Jordan said. "My parents were freaking out when they saw pictures of it."
Jeff, too, said he will never get one.
But then pictures surfaced with Jordan flaunting his initials with a cross on his arm.
Jeff had one of Marilyn Monroe, which he soon regretted. Jordan was trying to touch his up then caught Jeff in the bathroom trying to wash it off.
They were henna tattoos, a temporary dye lasting about a month on the skin if kept in good condition.
"It was funny because Jeff always talks about getting tatted up" lordan said. "I'm going to get the state of California, or whatever. He gets in the henna shop and he freezes up."
But aside from all the jabs on
Jordan said he shaved his head at the end of last year before going to San Diego and was just going to let the face grow with it. Jeff decided to do the same to prepare for the upcoming winter.
If you see them walking on the street, the tats have since faded, but they do have another bodily accessory new for fall 2010: facial hair.
The once baby-faced Jordan now had girls saying they didn't like his new beard or that he looked like a "mountain man." He doesn't see it that way.
"I trimmed this bad boy down," he said. "This is a nice five oclock shadow."
Then Jeff defended his beard's status.
"His is nice and thick," Jordan said of Jeff's stubble. "Mine is more GQ-esque."

each other, the two have a close bond, confiding everything into one another. They've been roommates for the past two years and they do everything together, outside of class. They
said it was just as close as the Morris twins' relationship.
Their families have connected to the point where Jeff's mother calls Jordan "son." Then Jordan's little brother, Jayden, considers Jeff a brother. It's one big family, just a thousand miles apart.
"In life," Jordan said. "I see him as a brother, too."
If Jordan Juenemann had more experience, maybe he could be former athletics director Lew Perkins' replacement.
"Ten to 15 years from now, I wish I had a little bit of credentials and could slide into that," Juenemann said. "That'd be a nice deal."
JUST JORDAN
This summer, the hed examined his life and had a revelation on what he wanted to do after basketball. It just came to him: athletics director.
He thought about how much he likes to interact with people and the intricacies of Kansas' athletic department. It just made sense to aspire to becoming head of the organization.
He also said the events that transpired this summer with Kansas Athletics didn't sway his decision either way.
"It's a thriving environment," Juenemann said. "I could still affect young kids' lives. I could make rightful decisions for the university for something people care about."
But his future is a long way away.
For now, it's all about basketball.
In the past six months, if any player that didn't get a lot of minutes on the men's basketball team was in the news, it had to do with leaving the team.
Chase Buford left the team to focus on academics. C.J. Henry left Kansas for a situation where he could play a lot of minutes at Southern Nazarene University. Conner Teahan tried out for the football team at the end of last

COMMENTARY
Lack of passion demonstrated by coach isn't a good sign
Nice guys finish last. Society has deemed that cliche worthy of general use.I deem it worthy of use in describing the Kansas football team.
Is it too soon? Does that break the love affair that exists between the Athletics Department, coach Turner Gill and the loyal Kansas football fans? No, no and no.
During the football offseason, only words such as "positive," "great," "nice" and "supportive" were used to describe Gill. These words came from players, coaches and fans alike.
Bob Stern
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
Everybody got sucked into it. It was refreshing. It was hopeful. It was change.
Then, during Saturday's game as well as games almost every recent Saturday — my eyes were
frozen by the lack of fire displayed on Gill's face. I know that Gill has the makings of a great coach. But none of that could be seen anywhere on the field during the 6-3 loss to North Dakota State, or during the 31-16 loss against Southern Miss., or especially during the 55-7 loss at Baylor.
I first noticed a puzzling lack of passion at a press conference with coach Gill four days before the North Dakota State game. At first I wrote it off as "coach talk," meaning he didn't want to show his emotions to the media. "Coach talk" holds those emotions back
for the team."Coach talk" follows guidelines set by the Athletics Department as a whole, and Kansas football needs a calm, collected, positive voice in the media after last year.
But at that week's press conference, when a reporter asked Gill if he was especially excited for his first game in Memorial Stadium. Gill responded with a slight shoulder shrug and said he was in the way he is for every other football game he's coached.
Good "coach" answer. But really? It was your first game as the head coach of Kansas football and
I would prefer to see a coach actually angry that his team is down 30 points than see a coach chewing on gum with his arms crossed like he is waiting for a bus. Even the Dallas Cowboy's head coach, Wade Phillips, has learned to act excited when coaching his team. Let's see some fire!
Football is a cutthroat sport, let's be honest. Everybody on the team is fighting for a starting job, everybody wants to win and everybody wants to be respected. Many times in football, achieving
a shoulder shrug is the physical manifestation of that excitement?
This is not supposed to be a lesson on coaching, this is simply a concern born at noon on Saturday when Baylor, one of the lowest-ranked teams in the Big 12, began to look like the University of Alabama playing against Kansas.
the goal of wining games requires the coach acting as the bad guy.
Cliches and superstitions aside. Being nice, calm and collected is great. But some changes need to come out with a steel fist and passion for the rest of the season.

VOLUME 123 ISSUE 36
Student-parents get help from child center
More than half of children at Hilltop have a parent enrolled at KU
BY MEG LOWRY
mlowry@kansan.com
To an outsider, Nicole Roderick seems like any normal undergraduate student at the University. She's majoring in chemistry, she's a teaching assistant, she does lab reports and eats at The Underground. But Roderick isn't just a student.
Roderick is also a mom.
"Everyone is proud of their children, but they just aren't really something you talk about at school," said Roderick, a senior from Des Moines, Iowa. "There are more parents than you would think at KU, you just don't hear about it because it's obviously not traditional to be a parent in college."
Roderick is just one of many student-parents currently enrolled at the University.
More than half of the children at the University's child care facility, Hilltop Child Development Center, have student-parents. The waiting list for the school — as long as 300 before renovations were completed last year — leaves some parents waiting for as long as eight months.
Eric Giroux, who graduated from the University of Kansas last spring, raised his son Jackson for three years while in school and enrolled him at Hilltop.
"I am 22 years old and have a 3-year-old son," Giroux said. "But when life deals you some cards, you have to get up, dress up and show up."
Roderick and Giroux both agree that raising a child while in college changes life in ways students without children could never imagine.
"You become friends with all these other kids who are 21 and go out and have fun and party when you have to go home," Roderick said. "When you make friends, it pretty much stops at school, because they are doing social things that you just can't."
Giroux said having a child makes living the stereotypical college lifestyle impossible.
"It's not uncommon for a college student to wake up at 11, eat Chipotle at 2:30, and not eat again until late at night," Giroux said. "Those eating habits won't work with a baby. Providing three varied and healthy meals for a child with picky tastes every day is a challenge."
Having a child creates significant academic difficulties as well.
“When I first started school, my study habits were terrible,” Roderick said. “I would put off homework forever. After children, it's like, 'Oh, got to get it done now if I can.' After they get to bed, you get it done right away. You're definitely not pulling all-nighters.”
Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop, was a student-parent when she attended the University 30 years ago.
"I do feel I can relate to the parents here," Pisani said. "Many of them are far away from their families, and a lot of them are also single parents. We try to be as supportive as we possibly can."
Hilltop offers first priority to children of students. Scholarships are offered for children based on family size and income, and student parents can receive up to 30 percent off tuition. Hilltop also allows students to be exempt from payments based
on the KU academic calendar. For example, a student-parent could choose to not use daycare during the four weeks of winter break and not have to pay for that month of childcare.
"It is a tremendous challenge financially," Pisani said. "Some of our parents are trying to work, parent and study while taking out financial aid or student loans on top of that."
Clubs such as Moms at KU also offer a support system for student parents. Roderick has been a member for more than a year.
"When I came to KU, I didn't really have anybody to relate to," Roderick said. "It was nice to just have other moms around that were dealing with the same things as me."
To take on the role of student and parent, Pisani said, is a commendable effort.
"These students are willing to work very,very hard because they want a better life for themselves and for their children," Pisani said.
Roderick agrees, but knows her children Olivia, 5, and Thomas, 2 months, are well worth it.
"When kids come to college, they're not just looking for their degree," Roderick said. "They are looking for their future life after school. But I already have that."

"She has a great vision for what needs to happen with graduate student representation on this campus," said Smith, a senior from Goddard. "She is going to be an outstanding leader for graduate students."

Chancellor reopens post
Committee looking to fill vice chancellor for public affairs position
BY STEPHEN
MONTEMAYOR
ontemayor@kansan.com
A search began this month to fill the first administrative position the Chancellor has created since
she began at the University last year.
The position, vice chancellor for public affairs, will oversee the University's government relations and
PRESIDENT
Gray- Little
university communications functions. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in an e-mail that the position will enable the University to ensure it speaks with one voice and adopts a proactive approach.
"That's important since the University is a state institution that works for and relies on support from the people of Kansas," she said.
Ann Brill, dean of the School of Journalism, heads the 10-member search committee. She said the committee met last week for the first time. It hopes to hire someone within six months, though it would extend that deadline if necessary.
Brill said candidates will be brought to campus for a public vetting.
The position initially began in 2001 and was filled by Janet Murguia, a KU graduate who is now president of National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest public policy group for Hispanic Americans.
Paul Carttar, a non-profit executive and also a KU graduate, served in the same position from 2004 to 2006, but under the title of executive vice chancellor for external affairs. After Carttar's departure, the position has been vacant. University Relations Director Todd Cohen said the government and state relations functions and University communications functions have been reported separately to the chancellor. Neither Murguia nor Carttar could be reached for comment.
Cohen said the position is fairly common at universities. Cohen said the job integrates strategic communications, outreach and government relations to enhance the University's reputation and presence across key constituencies. This includes media, alumni, donors, policy makers, , community-based organizations and the business community. University resources and communications
strategies will also be employed to support University objectives at the federal, state and local levels.
The Chancellor added Brenda Muirhead as internal forensic auditor last month, but her job is paid for by the Athletics Department. Vice chancellor of public affairs will be the first University-paid position created by Gray-Little.
"The Chancellor assessed the needs of her office during her first year and determined the position needed to be restored to enhance strategic communications," Cohen said.
Minimum qualifications include a master's or professional degree with at least 10 years of "progressively responsible" experience in strategic communications, along with a grasp on the major issues in higher education today.
Brill said she hoped the added clarity in communications will increase students' understanding of the University. She expected the new position to better educate students in communicating issues important to them and how state and federal policies affect them.
"Anything that you do to improve communications can help everybody on this campus," Brill said.

Hope is a nonprofit organization that assists impoverished women in the countries.
The organization conducts three programs that teach women about wellness such as AIDS prevention, maternal health and counseling for domestic violence. The program also offers women micro-loans to help them make ends meet. Brown said education was another important aspect of the organization. The organization teaches these women how to read.
"Impoverished women are very vulnerable because of their literacy" she said.
Brown said the main cause of injustices against women throughout the world is a mix between historical and cultural developments. She said that globally, women do 70 percent of the labor in the world, but are paid only 10 percent of the wages. Brown said a main goal of Sow Hope is to create a female leader within the community in which the organization visits.
"It's a power struggle with men and women," she said. "Women can be leaders."
Kevin Lee, a graduate student from Oklahoma City, helped bring Brown to the University. He said students should be aware of human injustices around the world and the programs that help stop these issues, such as Sow Hope.
"We have a responsibility to think about people's lives," he said. "It still impacts all of us on some level."

a junior from Lawrence, they knew they had to get him to Lawrence.
And blow up he did. B.o.B's debut album earned him five MTV Video Music Award nominations including video of the year for the song "Airplanes," featuring Hayley Williams from the band Paramore.
"We knew he would blow up soon," Sabillon said.
Students that were able to get tickets early like Ernest Shepard, a junior from Kansas City, are anticipating a unique show.
"He's different," Shepard said. "He's innovative and has a different type of feel than everyone in the rap game."
Shepard said he and a group of friends bought tickets five days after they were made available because he thought everyone in Lawrence would want to go to this show.
"Venues around Lawrence will feel the effect of the show."
Shepard said about tonight. "Everyone will be at the Lied Center."
There are some students on campus however that have not heard of B.o.B. Ben Iliff, a sophomore from Topeka, said he is not a fan of rap, and he did not know who B.o.B was until he found out yesterday that "Airplanes" was actually by B.o.B. He said he likes the song because it is more upbeat and similar to pop music than usual rap.
"Rap is all about women and sex and rims." Iliff said of why he stays away from the genre.
"It doesn't just appeal to hip hop heads because he collaborates with so many different artists," Sabillon said.
But after realizing that B.o.B produced "Airplanes," he said he would be open to checking out more of his work. Sabillion said this unique sound is why B.o.B has become so popular.
Tyshawn Taylor, a junior from
Hoboken, N.J., is taking a risk by planning on purchasing the tickets at the show, since they can sell out fast, but he was adamant about making it. He also thought more big name artists should make it to Kansas in the future.
"We have fun out here," Taylor said. "They should want to come here. It's not the Kansas they think of."
Sabillon and SUA, through almost six months of planning, have successfully brought this chart-topping artist to Kansas for one night. Sabillon has noticed people's love for B.o.B through the missing posters for the event all over campus.
"I guess when people are stealing your posters, that's a good sign they are excited about the show."

Also, 59 percent said they've become jealous over their partner's interactions with someone else on Facebook and 23 percent said they have sent a friend request to an attractive stranger.
The juicy tidbits include that 69 percent of Facebookers use the website to flirt and another 25 percent use it to snoop on partners who might be flirting.

Everyone needs someone to be a voice of reason
With media swarming all around us,it's hard sometimes to distinguish what's news, what's entertainment and what's just sad. But since we're human and have the capacity for compassion and sympathy, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Last month, an incident occurred at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, also known as FJIJJ, during a party which left a student with head trauma. The student was transported to a Kansas City hospital via helicopter.
It would be easy to catalogue the incident as just another tragic happenstance of life, but it's not. Although not all the details are in, this incident seems like it could have been prevented, and the real story is, why wasn't it?
The news must go on, however, and with it comes the reports about underage drinking, about suspensions and about hazing, none of which really covers what's truly important. Amidst all the partying and fraternity high jinx, how could something like this have been allowed to happen in the first place?
Why wasn't someone, anyone,
there to say, "Hey, this may not be
such a good idea?"

Starting the Conversation
BY D.M. SCOTT
I know. We are all responsible for our own actions. But none of us live in a vacuum. As Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. said, "We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is."
As a nontraditional student, I also understand detours. Mine took me away from school for ten years. In that time, I learned how important it is to have at least one person in my life that will tell me the truth.
It took me a long time to realize how important and how much I need other people in my life. I wouldn't have a life if it weren't for other people.
If you don't have someone in your life like that, you need one. Everyone needs that one person who cares enough to say the things we don't want to hear. Someone who isn't afraid to confront us
when we're messing up, to point out our faulty motives if needed and to. God forbid, end the party when warranted.
We can only hope the boys at the FIJI house learned this valuable lesson: When a "brother" leaves the party in an ambulance, it's time to end the party.
Yet when I hear students talk about Greek Life, I'm nervous about what they'll take away from the tragedy.
"Greek Life here at KU, the stereotype is we like to party, and it's true," senior Megan Geenens said in a September 24 KMBC interview. "There is alcohol everywhere. That's what college life is about, I guess."
I understand. The rigors of the Greek Life are demanding. All that is important.
But not as important as speaking up before things get out of hand.
I hope everyone will remember these basic tenets of civility—tenets that really shouldn't have to be stated. And hopefully all of us can learn how to be more accountable to one another.
Scott is a junior from Overland Park in journalism.

Some discussions shouldn't be texts
People depend on texting too much as a communication tool. Don't get me wrong.
I admit that I do it too, but when texting becomes the whole communications toolbox as opposed to maybe the hammer or wrench, it might be an unhealthy dependence.
It used to be the polite and respectable method to make the time to break it off with your significant other and let them know it isn't working anymore by looking them in the eye and using your words wisely to end it.
Let's explore how texting has become the substitute for face-toface communication, or word of mouth with a phone.
Yes, a little awkward, but taking that personal time to do so can really mean something to the other person.
Break-ups
No matter if it is three texts long, or three words long, no one wants to be broken up with from a telephone screen.
It does help avoid awkwardness,
Today many people resort to the phone keypad to cut the ties.
As much as I would love to get a, 'We r dun. I'm sry, but shuzi just didn't write rite btween us," it makes me want to confiscate their phone until they turn 13, and learn how to spell.
Tell me to my face and maybe we can be friends, or at least I can hold on to the little respect I have left for you.
but the blow to someone's ego can be just as bad.
Words written on a screen are so much different than actually saying them either by phone or to someone's face.
Intoxicated or not, it seems to be easier for people to come off stronger through written word than by word-of-mouth.
Cockiness
For example, the ever popular:
Sexting.
Personally, "Com over 2 my place, ben getting smashed all nite, and wud lu to see you," at 2 a.m. just really doesn't interest me at all.
Or, maybe you are fighting with someone.
I've been there. It is definitely easier to text fight than actually talk.
After an endless cluster of words, it sucks the energy out of you, and talking might have been worth it.
Professional/college appointments:
Texting your professor is a horrible idea, unless they suggest it.
Teachers don't really appreciate,
"Hey teach. Can't make it to our
appt 2day. I am just 2 hungover loi."
My computer is vomiting red squiggy lines from all the misspellings, and I am sure teachers feel the same way.
Don't tell your boss you are going to be late through a 25-word text.
As a news editor, I'd probably respond with, "Ur fired lol."
Well, maybe not that drastic, but call or e-mail with proper grammar and spelling.
Use your texts wisely, not something to lean on because the other tools in your communication toolbox require a little more effort.
Lol.

Social media multiply pain,scope of bullying
In the wake of several suicides involving gay teens ranging in age from 13 to 19, "cyberbullying" has quickly become the buzzword du jour.
These events are a stark reminder of what those of us in the gay community already know: being gay isn't easy. But while the issue of anti-gay bullying is very real, cyberbullying is not simply limited to straight people targeting gays.
Since the early days of chat rooms, message boards and instant messaging, there has been an opportunity for people to attack others with little or no consequence.
Don't be fooled. Talking about rather than to someone isn't a defense for bullying.
Given the ability of social media to reach a broad audience of both passive and active users, there's no telling how many people may witness the attack.
The big difference now is that because today's cyberbullies use tools like Facebook and Twitter, many don't even bother to conceal their identities online and then use passive-aggressive tactics to attack their victims.
What's worse, because these online tools are designed to facilitate sharing and discussion, what might start as one attacker can quickly turn into four or five.
Imagine the torment and embarrassment of being bullied by one of your peers on the playground in elementary school. Now imagine that, instead of just your classmates, you have hundreds or even thousands of people watching.
And if you think this only happens to teens, think again. Bullying is a byproduct of insecurity, and there are insecure people of all ages.
For instance, a few weeks ago members of the gay community took exception to a comic I wrote and a response I co-wrote, both of which were published last month in The Kansan.
The day the comic ran, I had received both a tweet and a Facebook message calling the comic "trash" and telling me to "get a life."
Two others retweeted the comment, effectively cosigning it. One other posted a similar response.
He was back on the attack a week later after an openly gay student tweeted that "the best way not to perpetuate a stereotype is to not conform yourself to it in the first place." His response was to call the disenter "a spinster" and suggest that only someone who had no social or sex life would make such a statement.
When our response ran the following day, the same student posted a comment calling me "overweight" and a "hypocrite," before making various sexual insinuations. Before long, others jumped on the bandwagon posting similar messages.
Such incidents are all too common and, unfortunately,are thought by many to be rather innocuous. They're not.
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I can assure you that even the slightest one-time occurrence can have life-changing consequences. And bullying can have life-ending consequences.
No more lives need to be lost to see there's a simple solution. If you want to stop bullying, stop bullying.

"A loophole in the law? More like a poorly written 'quick fix' law. I could have told you this would happen even before the law was passed. There are literally hundreds of varieties of chemicals like JWH. Furthermore, primarily through online retailers, there are tens of products just like K2 and K3 currently available. Prohibition is obviously not the correct solution here."
— "Zero" in response to "Updated drug evades police, law" on Oct. 6.
"You don't get it and I am done with this. I have no responsibility to instruct you. You think we put Pinochet in power for fun. Trained Guatemalans for fun. The School for the Americas has done more to free the people of Central and South America than communism ever did. There is no vacuum in history. If the Soviets were not so tyrannical and imperialistic we would not have had to set up barriers against them. Denying the role the Soviets (allies to National Socialist Germany) in the growth of tyranny is a tool the Soviet agents use in this country. Way to play their game. Too bad you are doing it for free, you might as well get paid for your diligence."

"America didn't free anyone. They removed the democratically elected leader and put in Pinochet instead. He then went on to kill people. The USSA did this."

Group seeks to promote socialism
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
Ever since she was 11 years old, Jackie Sewell said she knew there was something wrong with society. She just didn't know what it was.
As a teenager, Sewell began to notice the economic inequalities and social injustices she perceived in and around her hometown. She grew upset over the apparent wealth disparities and prejudices she said many of her peers chose to ignore.
Sewell concluded that the root of those problems was America's economic system: capitalism. She soon lost faith in what she considered a flawed and corrupt system and instead found solace in socialism.
"It is a stigma," said Sewell, a junior from Andover. "But for me I just don't care anymore. I am a socialist and there's no going back."
Sewell was eager to put her beliefs into practice during her two years at Wichita State University. There she met Chris Hicks, president of Wichita State's
Young Democrat Socialists (YDS) chapter. She quickly became involved with the organization by passing out fliers, tabling and attending national conferences.
"I was set," Sewell said. "I was agreeing with a lot of the things he was saying, and it all made sense to me."
After Sewell transferred to the University of Kansas this fall, she founded a new YDS chapter.
Though the KU chapter is in its early stages of development — its first meeting is next Tuesday — Sewell sounded excited for the organization's future.
The KU chapter's first goal is to increase membership and educate students
who advocate Soviet style communism," said Stafford, a freshman from Goddard.
Though democratic socialism is an extensive ideology that incorporates many ideas, members of YDS generally believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically, according to the organization's website. They believe the American government and economy need

about YDS, said Vice President Trey Stafford. He said there were many misconceptions about democratic socialism that made many Americans cautious of it.
"We're not some crazy people
radical transformation to create greater economic and social democracy.
"Democratic socialism is the expansion of democracy," said Andrew Porter, national organizer for YDS, the organization's top position. "We shouldn't allow small, select
groups of people make decisions that affect everyone with no control over any of those decisions."

start work on local and national campaigns. Campus sustainability is one of Stafford's top priorities. On the national level, YDS is pursuing a free higher education campaign.
Regardless of which goals the organization accomplishes, Stafford said YDS would help establish a more diverse political culture on campus.
"It can benefit students mainly in getting them aware of the world," Stafford said. He added that it opened them up to alternative political ideas.

'Naked Cowboy to run for office
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — New York's "Naked Cowboy" is looking for some new exposure as a presidential candidate.
Robert Burck is familiar to any Times Square tourist as the man standing in the heart of the "Crossroads of the World", playing a guitar and wearing only tight-whiteys, boots and a cowboy hat.
But he wore a suit and tie Wednesday as he announced his intention to run for president in 2012 as a member of the conservative tea party movement.
"America is rapidly transforming into a government-run enterprise," the tourist attraction said, adding that "American politicians are selling out America and its most cherished institution, that being capitalism."
He proclaimed he was running "in defense of individual liberty" and criticized President Barack Obama for the direction of the country.
For the big announcement, the
hat was off — perhaps symbolically tossed into the ring. Burck said he was registered as a Republican in Ohio.
Among his policy goals, he listed closing borders, requiring drug tests for welfare recipients, abolishing unions for government workers, and cutting capital gains and income taxes. He also said he would work to reverse the recently passed health care law.
Is he serious? He says yes. But this isn't his first flirtation with public office. He announced a mayoral run in 2009 and later dropped out.
His news conference attracted a throng of media, as well as curious onlookers. He declined to say what impact his presidential aspirations would have on his performances.
Cari Teff, 34, visiting from Monroe, Wis., had seen the Naked Cowboy in all his glory once before.
"I couldn't believe it," she said Wednesday. "I didn't know who it was at first."

The All-Star right-hander, who tossed a perfect game at Florida on May 29, dominated the Reds with a sharp fastball and a devastating slow curve in his first playoff start.
The overmatched Reds never came close to a hit. Halladay allowed only runner, walking Jay Bruce on a full count with two outs in the fifth, and struck out eight.
"It's surreal, it really is," Halladay said. "I just wanted to pitch here, to pitch in the postseason. To go out and have a game like that, it's a dream come true."

Halladay spent 12 seasons with Toronto, far from the postseason.
Halladay took the Year of the Pitcher into the postseason. The excitement spread beyond Citizens Bank Park — the last two outes were shown on the video board at Target Field, where the Twins were preparing to play the Yankees, and Minnesota fans cheered.

Lee leads Rays to victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETTERSBURG, Fla. — Cliff Lee, post season hire for fire.
These days, no pitcher is doing it better.
Lee matched a postseason best with 10 strikeouts while allowing five hits — just two after escaping a bats-loaded jam in the first inning. During one dominating stretch, he retired 16 of 17 batters before giving up Ben Zobrist's homer in the seventh.
Picking up where he left off in a dazzling October run a year ago, Lee shut down the Tampa Bay Rays while outpitching David Price and leading the Texas Rangers to a 5-1 victory Wednesday in the opening game of the AL playoffs.
"It's not time to sit here and pat myself on the back. We've got a lot of work to do." Lee said. "I feel good about helping us get off to a good start, and hopefully I can continue to do the same. That's what I expect to do."
"I like pitching on a big stage," Lee said. "Just pitching in the big leagues alone is an honor, but when you get an opportunity to make it to the postseason that's what it's all about. That's what you play all year for. I enjoy it, and I

mound for Texas against right-hander James Shields, who hasn't won since Aug. 29.
Lee improved to 5-0 in six career postseason starts. He went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five starts for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009, including 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA against the New York Yankees in the World Series.
The 32-year-old lefty lost to the Rays three times during the regular season, however the AL East champions were no match for the 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner this time. The Rangers, in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, stopped a nine-game postseason losing streak that began in 1996.

Huskers play Cats tonight
BIG 12 FOOTBALL

MANHATTAN — Maybe Kansas State's marching band should forgo its traditional "Wabash Cannonball" for something more fitting, such as "So long, it's been good to know you."
Among other things for Kansas State (4-0), the nationally televised game is a chance to jump high into the rankings and give running back Daniel Thomas' Heisman hopes a boost. For seventh-ranked and Big Ten-bound Nebraska (4-0), it's the first leg in a not-so-fond farewell tour of Big 12 schools the Huskers are leaving behind.
At Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Thursday night, the dying hours of a 99-year relationship will start running out.
Kansas State's Daniel Thomas is tackled by Nebraska's Phillip Dillard in the third quarter of play in Lincoln, Nebraska, Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009. Nebraska defeated Kansas State 17-3.
As the conference realignment drama played out, the president of Kansas State personally appealed to his counterpart at Nebraska to stay together.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Snyder admits he was hates to see the Huskers go.
When talking about the history and tradition of Nebraska-Kansas State, there's little for the Wildcats to say. Even if they do upset the favored Huskers on Thursday night, they'll end the long series trailing 77-16-2 instead of 78-15-2.
There was talk that perhaps
Kansas State should follow Wichita State's example and drop football altogether, or at least take refuge in a lower division.
Bring 'em on, say the Huskers. "We're very honest with our guys," said defensive coordinator Carl Pelini. "They understand the
situation. We don't talk about it. It gets talked about in the media probably 20 times more than it does with us.I don't know that it's ever been a topic of conversation with us that this is our last year in the Big 12.

"Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors."

When Randy Moss plays in his first game back with the Vikings on Monday night, it will be his second consecutive Monday night game.

MORNING BREW
Beware of bye week hazards
R ye weeks are fun for no one.
Players have two week.
Players have two weeks straight of difficult practices before their next game. Fans have to pretend to care about the rest of the teams in the league while silently counting down the days until their team returns to the field.

But other than that, off-weeks are the worst. Unfortunately, we're stuck in the middle of byes for the two most popular football teams on campus – the Kansas City Chiefs and, of course, the lajawhacks.
Both teams' breaks are early in the season - the Chiefs' last week and the Jayhawks this weekend - but it's likely that the byes will affect each team in completely different ways.
For Turner Gill's young team, the bye week probably couldn't come at a better time. After losing by 48 to the Baylor Bears, Jordan Webb and Co. will need all the time they can get to build something resembling confidence.
While this year's team is completely different from Mark Mangino's squads of past years, bye weeks have historically been good to the Jayhawks. Kansas hasn't lost a game after an off week in five years. In 2008, the team got its break after a 35-7 defeat to Texas, then bounced back two weeks later to deliver the classic 40-37 victory against Missouri at Arrowhead
THE
MORNING
BREW
Stadium.
If this year's Jayhawks can continue the trend, they'd get a nice dose of confidence in beating an (as of now) undefeated Kansas State team in the Sunflower Showdown a week from today.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, are a different story. The little NFL team that could has the entire Kansas City area in a whirlwind of football optimism after its first 3-0 start since 2003. Coach Todd Haley looks like a genius, fans are talking playoffs already, and the team's bye week couldn't have come at a worse time.
Whatever momentum the team mustered up in its first three weeks is zapped by the two-week hiatus. Plus, beating the Chargers, Browns, and 49ers isn't the same as waltzing into Indianapolis and beating Peyton Manning.
Take it from someone who knows. As a third-generation Denver Broncos fan, the first six weeks of last year's NFL season
were the most glorious since those back to back Super Bowl titles they won in the '90s. They were undefeated and riding high after beating the Chargers on Monday Night Football (sound familiar?) in Week Six.
Then the bye week happened.
Who knows what that stupid team was doing over their free weekend, but it completely derailed the season. Ten weeks and eight losses later, the Broncos weren't even in the playoffs.
Don't think I'm just trying to rain on Kansas City's 3-0 parade, because it was the Chiefs who finally ended the Broncos' playoff hopes in week 17. No, I'm above that. I'm just trying to deliver a fair warning as to the damage that one little bye week can wreak.

Thunder wins in preseason opener
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Jeff Green scored 13 of his 25 points in the third quarter and Oklahoma City beat the Charlotte Bobcats 97-93 on Wednesday night in the Thunder's preseason opener.
James Harden had 16 points, Serge Ibaka had 12 points and 11 rebounds and NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant added 12 for the Thunder. They never
trailed in the fourth quarter and held the Bobcats without a field goal during the final seven minutes.
With owner Michael Jordan looking on from a courtside seat, Tyrus Thomas scored 16 points and Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw added 14 apiece for the Bobcats (0-2).
The Bobcats closed within one when Derrick Brown's 3-pointer made it 89-88 with 7:07 remaining.

Moss traded to the Vikings

in the offense,
Finally, Bill Belichick had

The coach traded

receiver to the Vikings.
Wednesday for a third-round draft pick in 2011. The Patriots will give Minnesota their seventh round pick in 2012.

"Over the past several months, I have spoken with Randy and his representative (Joel Segal) about Randy's place on our team and his future in football," Belichick said in a statement. "In this business, there are complex and often difficult decisions, but it is my responsibility to make them based on what I feel is best for our team, in both the short term and long term."
Bellichick acquired Moss in April 2007 in a trade with the Raiders, and Moss quickly helped the Patriots become the first team to go 16-0 in the regular season. They won two playoff games before losing to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
But it went downhill from there. Moss' tenure in New Eng land was eventually marked by unhappiness over his contract, especially after the team signed quarterback Tom Brady to a new deal shortly before the start of the season. Moss also had issues with his role in the offense, often thinking he should have more passes thrown to him.
night at halftime of the Patriots' win over the Dolphins. Moss didn't have a catch in the game.
The Vikings were in the market for a wide receiver because Sidney Rice is out until late this month or early November after undergoing hip surgery. Brett Favre has long admired Moss, and he lobbied the Packers to trade for him when Favre was in Green Bay.
ESPNBoston.com reported Wednesday that Moss and quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien got into a heated exchange Monday
"We're always looking for an opportunity to make this football team better," Vikings coach Brad Childress said. "Our organization, our ownership is committed to that, and I think you try to be as resourceful as you can. I'm just happy that they supported this move and I think we'll be better for it. I think he's a good football player."
Moss is expected to practice with the team Thursday and be ready for Monday night's game against the Jets at New Meadowlands Stadium.

Marcus Morris is excited about this year. Let him tell you why:
"Lot more show time, lot more dunks, lot more ESPN."
Marcus Morris said the difference may be most noticeable on defense.
"I think we can be faster," Reed said. "Not saying Sherron and Cole were slow, but I think we can be faster not running through two guys every possession."
Morris said he thinks the Jayhawks' athleticism in the starting lineup surpasses last year's, no knock to Cole Aldrich intended. With athletes littering also coming off the bench, the Jayhawks just might be scary quick.
The Jayhawks this year will be able to utilize their athletes in a frenetic, up-tempo offense and a full-court trap defense. None of the players know if it will happen — and Bill Self was too occupied with the recruiting trail for The Kansan to reach him — but a lot of them are expecting a quicker pace of play.
for faster team performance.
Taylor, who is arguably the quickest player in the Big 12, may stand to benefit the most from a more breakneck pace. At times last year, Taylor appeared to be ahead of the pace of the game because of his natural speed with the ball in his hands. If the pace of the game adjusts to his speed, it stands to reason that the turnovers that have plagued Taylor could be cut down.
Senior guard Tyrel Reed expects the same, but explained the difference between last year's team and this year's a bit more.
"Us three guys," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of himself, sophomore Elijah Johnson and freshman Josh Selby, "and even our frontcourt, those guys with Markieff and Thomas and Marcus. I think it's just going to be a whole lot faster team, period."
pugnantly tazed.
"That's my style, man," Taylor said. "I like to get up and down. That's my thing. I think it's going to be fun. It's going to be interesting to see how this thing happens."
"I think without Cole and having Keef at the five and having T-Rob coming in, we're going to be a lot quicker in coming off ball screens and being able to trap and sometimes switch with the five," he said. "Keef can guard and T-Rob can guard, so I think we'll be a lot quicker on the perimeter."

fast from the beginning, so for us to have a more athletic team from top to bottom just put us right where we want to be," Robinson said.
Mariah Montgomery, a sophomore infielder from Ralston, Neb. slides home safe Wednesday night at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks beat Johnson County Community College 16-1 in an exhibition match. The Jayhawks racked up 15 hits against the Cavaliers.
Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up-tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths.
Reed said the ability to go from one through five without a significant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas. One that won a national championship.
"Coach Self wanted us to play
the standpoint that we have a lot of guys that can go and go get scores and do their own thing. We're all unselfish, and I think that's kind of the way they were."

The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.
The layhawk pounced on the Cavaliers, totaling 16 runs on 15 hits with two errors. The Cavaliers totaled one run, three hits and six errors.

Complimenting the base running was the hitting clinic put on by the Jayhawk batters.
Sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull helped ignite the team's offense, accounting for three RBIs including a run scored.
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
She finished the game, retiring the side in three consecutive batters. After the game Jones commented on the backup her team gave her while she took control of the mound.
I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to," Jones said.

Gill's new rules fit with his message
1987-2003
ASSOCIATE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
From the start, football coach Turner Gill has talked about how he wants to not only help players on the field, but off the field as well. He wants to shape them to become good men, good husbands and good fathers. To me this seems like a very noble goal. He accepted a job which he knew would be difficult with new athletes and a new coaching staff at a program which was divided after a dramatic off-season. Because of this I think the transformation of the players is especially important when the team has shown trouble transforming as a whole.
elements. Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
Change is not instant for any program, but in athletics there are unique challenges because players are only eligible to play for the university for four years, and within those four years, as Kansas fans have seen, the players can experience highs from winning the Orange Bowl to lows where there is coaching changeover. This season has been and will continue to be frustrating for fans and the team because the elements of the game do not seem to be coming together for the Jayhawks right now, but that too will change.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky" Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
too will change.
Along with new names and faces Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their breast health.
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
`by Davenport`
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
Quintan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
These jumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
— Edited by Lisa Curran
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
lth
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.

I was sitting in front of my kindergarten classroom with my huge orange glasses, straight-across bangs and pink sweat pants when my best friend Warren arrived with Spiderman backpack in tow. Cinderella and Peter Parker were never so cool.
Then, in sixth grade, my mom let me pick out my next backpack — and believe you me, it was a big decision. It had to be something sturdy that would last through abuse of after-school activities and dance practices. So, naturally, we pulled out the Land's End catalogue. I decided to go with my favorite color: bright orange. It was perfect: a front pocket for pencils and erasers, a side pocket for a water bottle and dozens of inside compartments for all the odds and ends my heart desired.
However, there was one last decision to make. The monogram on the front pocket would, of course, say "Anna," but what color would it be? My final decision: sea
foam green. Now my mom and I just had to go shopping for all the goodies that would fill its pockets.
There's nothing as special as getting ready for your first day of school, going shopping with your mom and picking out pencils and paper and folders with cute little kitties. It's a tradition that has lasted about 16 years for my mom and I, but I've since realized that it's not supposed to be so hardcore as that monogrammed backpack in sixth grade. Once you've reached college, that's right along the lines of a pocket protector, isn't it? But, somehow, I've managed to make it last to my senior year of college. That's right, I still have a monogrammed backpack, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not the bright orange bag that I proudly carried from sixth grade to the end of high school, but I love it nonetheless.
This one's sprightly green with black accents and is equipped with a laptop pocket, two side pockets and an mp3 player pocket and hole for headphones. It even has padded straps so my back doesn't get sore. For more on backpacks, see Brenna's story on page 9.
It would probably be way cooler if my backpack had a nickname like "Archi" instead, but, as it doesn't, I just have to keep reminding myself that all the other people on campus only wish they had a backpack as tricked out as mine.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
th
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
V
These jumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.

a run scored.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
Edited by Michael Bednar
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.
"I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to," Jones said.
Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky" Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
elements. Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

CATCH OF THE WEEK // SEAN MORROW
> Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL PARTNER:
Legs.
IDEAL DATE: Probably just walking around and talking. I'd rather stay away from movies or places where you don't have to talk because then we can't get to know each other. Maybe something closer to mini golf because you're doing something fun and are able to talk at the same time. I'm also really awesome at it.
"That's n said "I like
TURN-ONS: I'm really attracted to girls who have athletic builds. If it looks like she's seen the inside of the rec more than once, that's attractive. Also, girls who are outgoing and can talk about something other than *Gossip Girl* or whatever shows girls watch. Oh, and if a girl can look good in a t-shirt and jeans, but also look really good when she wears a dress.
HOMETOWN: Libertyville, Ill.
MAJOR: Finance
YEAR: Senior
INTERESTED IN: Women
**TURN-OFFS:** Smoking. I'm also really turned off by girls who think they're better than everyone else. Stuck up girls don't do it for me.
WHY I'M A CATCH: I get into a little bit of everything. I've done like every sport in high-school. Mainly because I wasn't that great at any one sport in particular so I had to do five of them. I can also be romantic and quiet and wild and crazy.

HOW WE MET // MARIA SAVOY & JESSE BROWN
> All great relationships had to start somewhere
Maria Savoy, Holly Springs, N.C., freshman, never thought her younger brother's friendship would lead her to love. Savoy grew up in Gardner, Kan. but moved to North Carolina four years ago. When tagging along with her little brother to go visit his friend two years ago, she met her brother's friend's cousins. "I was dating someone else at the time so I didn't give either of them a second glance," Savoy says.
Jesse Brown, freshman at Johnson County Community College and one of the older cousins, gave Savoy more than just a glance. He got her phone number and began texting her. "Less than a month after we met she broke up with her boyfriend and began talking to me. We talked on the phone and texted for nine months until we got to see each other again at her prom," Brown says.
Savoy and Brown both moved from North Carolina to Kansas for school. "We both wanted to stay together and this was the best option because we didn't want to be in a long-distance relationship," Savoy says.
I am so happy to have you.

"I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to" lones said.
Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.

The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes.
Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.

Love across enemy lines. Alex Perel, Overland Park junior, is in a military relationship with her fiance, Jason Jones, and says she can't wait to get married.
Alex Perel sits down at the coffee shop. She is wearing shorts and a t-shirt with an oversized zip-up jacket with "USMC," (United States Marine Corps) printed across it. She smiles and loans back, ready to talk. She looks down at her engagement ring and talks about getting married after college. "Jason's term of service with the Marines is up in December so probably soon after that. I can't wait." she says.
Perel, Overland Park junior, and her fiance, Jason Jones, 22, have been engaged for a little more than a year and a half and battle the stresses of having a military relationship everyday. Young soldiers constantly walk among students in the KU crowd. Making a relationship work in college is difficult, but military couples face other issues such as long-distance communication, an obligation to military duties and possible deployment. While dating someone in the military may seem dreyly and romantic, it actually takes a vast amount of time and dedication.
Though being engaged to someone in the Marine Corps is anything but easy, Perel's situation is a bit easier than most. Unlike some Marines, Jones will not be getting deployed since he is in the Marine Band. Perel is thankful she will never have to go through the anxieties of a deployment, but still thinks she can relate to other military couples. "Sure people were surprised at how young I was when we got engaged but when I go on base with him, I see how young some of the other girlfriends and wives are. Some of them already have a kid or two. Not only that, but other military couples have to deal with the same essential things Jason and I deal with—long distance and sporadic visits," Perel says.
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD
On top of being in a long-distance, military relationship, Perel also has to balance school. She admits there are times when she neglects
her assignments to gain more time with Jones. "Instead of doing homework, I would rather talk to him on the phone all night since we don't get to see each other that much. There have definitely been times when I have sacrificed my homework to talk to him," Perel says.
Though not graduating with all of his friends will be rough on Drake, he has managed to find the silver lining in the situation. His time in the service has helped point him in the direction of a career after he leaves the Army. "I really enjoy medicine. Where most college students graduate after four years with very little real world experience, I am already certified and practicing as an emergency healthcare
Balancing school with Army duties is not as easy for Drake. Since he enlisted in 2008 and is also in a deployment he is two years behind academically. "All of the friends I had freshman year will be graduating as seniors this year, whereas I just finished my sophomore year. It's difficult to miss out on all of that. All of my friends will be gone by the time I return from my deployment," Drake says.
Army Specialist Austin Drake, Lawrence junior, is in a different boat than Perel. He is currently in his deployment in Dijbouti, Africa, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. His schoolwork is on hold while he completes his tour for the Army. He and his girlfriend, Marie Biggs, Omaha senior, have been together for more than a year and they think communication is the hardest part. The couple is barely able to video chat because the Internet connection on camp is so slow. "It turns what would typically be a nice opportunity to talk and see each other into a frustrating series of intermittent conversations," Drake says. He says he tries to call her at least once a day, but the lines to use the phones are long, phone cards aren't cheap and there is no privacy.
MILITARY COUPLES MAKE IT WORK

professional while deployed," Drake says.
Tanya Biank is the author of Army Wives, which inspired the same-named Lifetime television show. Aside from writing about military marriages, Biank is also in one. In her experience with young soldiers, she thinks the biggest problem young military couples face is understanding that there are three parts to the relationship: the two people and the military. "Many times the Army will have to come first. It has nothing to do with lack of love and commitment, but everything to do with selfless service to one's country," she says.
Biank points out how many military wives and girlfriends feel like the husband or boyfriend should be spending more time with them before deployment. Biank says the soldier may be acting this way because he is too "mission-focused" or emotionally removing himself from the relationship in hopes to make the good-bye easier.
Biank stresses that it is important to understand the upcoming anxieties of the deployment date. "It's common to argue about it and for nerves to be on edge. There is a saying in the Army, 'the sooner they leave, the sooner they come home.' Knowing the deployment date is approaching is difficult for everyone and in some ways can be harder than the actual deployment," Biank says.
Perel thinks two people who are starting a military relationship should be prepared for some long nights. "There are definitely times when it feels impossible, but you just have to try and balance your relationship with the rest of your life in order to stay level," she says.
Drake says trust is crucial. "You have to be in a good place in your relationship prior to deploying, because your problems are only going to amplify from there. It takes a lot of love," he says. Though a military relationship
can cause plenty of headaches, Drake says it is still worth it. "I'm in love with the girl, and while I don't like being away from her, I'd rather be going through this with her than without."
BEFORE DEPLOYMENT, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Emotional Regulation: Understand your emotions to make communication better.
communication: Actively listen and speak to one another while addressing individual concerns.
Problem Solving: Recognize an issue and come up with ways to fix or better the problem.
Goal Setting: Make small goals to achieve. Managing Deployment Reminders: Remember the date of an upcoming deployment and actively deal with any anxieties.
The F.O.C.U.S project, or Families Over Coming Under Stress, is a service started by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery that provides resiliency training to military families. The project teaches practical skills that help with deployments and the return after a deployment.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
continue to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen," Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
th
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
These dumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it is important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tells them that it's normal, then they've learned something."

IN THE LIFE OF // A CUPCAKE BAKER
> Living vicariously through others is okay with us
Those delicious pastries in the pink box people carry downtown do not make themselves. Michele Kaminski, owner and baker at Pink Box Bake Shop, 727 Massachusetts St., started baking and selling pastries at the Farmers Market a couple years ago. She opened her bakeshop downtown in October 2009. "Because I am the owner, I have a policy that I am the only baker," Kaminski says. "I like to control the quality and consistency of the pastries."
P
This is no small feat for Kaminski. She starts baking breakfast foods at 1 or 2 a.m. so they can be ready by 10 a.m. She continues baking throughout the day. "It is the hardest thing I have ever done," Kaminski says.
Kaminski, a former brand-marketing manager, left the corporate world after 27 years. She has spent little to no money on advertising, but has marketed her product through her pink boxes and quality of desserts. "You are nothing without your product. The pink box has helped spread the word and everyone knows where it has come from," she says.
"That's "
One stop shop: Michele Kaminski's bakery caters to cupcake, cookie and pastry-lovers of all kinds.
Kaminski's most popular items are her Rugalech and Lemon Butter Cookies, which sell for 75 cents a piece, balancing high quality ingredients with low prices.
Though it may be difficult for one person, Kaminski doesn't want to expand, overseeing every aspect of her business including her 10-person staff. "This is a special business," Kaminski says. "I want to live up to the good quality that I strive for."

"I think without Cole and having Keef at the five and having T-Rob coming in, we're going to be a lot quicker in coming off ball screens and being able to trap and sometimes switch with the five," he said. "Keef can guard and T-Rob can guard, so I think we'll be a lot quicker on the perimeter."
Senior guard Tyrel Reed is one of the quickest players on a fast Kansas roster. Reed said the athleticism on this year's team reminded him of the 2007-2008 national title-winning team.
Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up-tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths.
"Coach Self wanted us to play
fast from the beginning, so for us to have a more athletic team from top to bottom just put us right where we want to be." Robinson said.
Reed said the ability to go from one through five without a significant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas. One that won a national championship.

WEIGHT
OFF YOUR
SHOULDERS
ALL GAIN, AND NO PAIN, WHEN YOU
WEAR A BACKPACK THE RIGHT WAY
BRENNA LONG
Photo Illustration | Sarah Hockel
Janelle Lira lugs around 23 pounds of her life in her white and turquoise book bag. Daily, she packs her bag full of textbooks, lab manuals, folders, notebooks, pencils and her computer. With all of her supplies, Janelle weighs 118 pounds, 23 of which is her backpack. With that much weight, no wonder her back aches.
Students commonly carry too much weight, avoid the nerdy look of chest and hip straps, or wear their bag with the straps loose. Instead, wearing a bag right, even if it feels geeky, will solve many bodily pains. The symptoms of overweight book bags — back aches, headaches, numbness and posture change
— happen for students carrying more than 15 percent of their body weight, says Scott Bautch, spokesman for the American Chiropractic Association. The 15 percent only includes fully-grown bodies carrying bags with two shoulder straps. By changing the load to only one strap, in the case of shoulder bags and large purses, the weight should only reach 5 to 7 percent of a person's body weight.
Lira's fiancé says she carries too much. "He always tells me I am not wearing it right." This makes Lira, Bonner Springs junior, stop and think, but sometimes she can't find another solution she likes for the pain and weight.
Surpassing the weight limits, Gabrielle Schock, Valley Center junior, still carries her large purse, despite the discomfort. "I have a book bag, but it just feels awkward." Her Italian leather holds her books and lunch in fashion, all 11 pounds resting on one shoulder.
Regardless of the pain her bag can cause, Schock says she likes looking a little nicer with her purse.
This alarms Professor David Pascoe from Auburn University, who started studying backpacks in the 1990s and realized what students do for fashion. "In the 1990s you'd be a nerd if you used two straps," he says.
The one shoulder backpack trend for guys and girls in the 1990s has now become popular with girls carrying large purses. He says this leads to elevating one shoulder while you walk to keep the strap in place, causing more pressure and resulting in uneven shoulders. Hip and chest straps also have been seen as nerd alerts.
Logan Handley, Overland Park freshman, doesn't have the straps and wouldn't buckle them if he did. "That's way too nerdy," he says. Instead, he uses his simple bag with only two straps so he isn't labeled a nerd.
But for the spine, nerdy fashion might feel better. Bautch, who helped North Face with some book bag design, says the straps can make a huge difference because it keeps the load in place, decreasing the pressure. Students misuse book bags by lengthening the straps and letting their books bounce against their butt as they walk. Pascoe says in his studies, students commonly don't have the bags tight enough.
These loose and heavy bags affect the spine and gait of students with every step. And the solution to the problem isn't less walking, Pascoe says. The solution is wearing the bag
in the right place. When all your belongings rest in a backpack, the top should rest at the large knot where the spine neck meets the back. The bottom should be no lower than the top of the belt line. To achieve ideal placement, many of those dangling straps will need cinched up. If not corrected, book bags can lead to posture and gait changes, headaches, vision problems and arm numbness. So take an extra minute or two to think about that large pack before strapping it on your back. These four steps as explained by Karen Jacobs, a researcher of book bags and professor at Boston University, can help.
1. Pack the heaviest items closest to your back.
This will probably be your computer or huge biology book. Continue packing so the heavier items rest nearest to your body. Remember to take out the folders, textbooks and notebooks from yesterday's classes.
2. Only carry what you really need. If you don't need two calculators, a stapler and 50 pencils, take them out.
3. If you use a water bottle on campus, fill it up when you get to class. That way you don't have extra water weight.
4. Clean out your bag every week. By the end of the week, who knows how much weight you collected in fliers, food and newspapers.
Pack it in: Putting the heaviest items closest to your back and only including the necessities are a few simple steps to a better back.
WHAT TO LOCK FOR IN A BACKPACK
Spending the extra money on a quality backpack is worth it, says Scott Bautch, spokesman for the American Chiropractic Association. When dishing out the dough, around 60 to 80 dollars, look for more than the right color. Because backpacks fit people differently, think about these factors:
+ Look for straps with the right length for your body.
+ Find bags with added cushion in straps and back panel.
+ Don't avoid the nerd straps. Hip and chest straps help the bag stay snug on your body, decreasing the movement and putting the weight closer to your center of gravity. Ensure the size. It needs to fit between.
- Measure the size of the knee in its entirety,
the bottom of your neck and your belt line.
the bottom of your neck and your belt line.
+ Consider the size. Don't buy the largest one because you think you might need it.
The smaller the bag, the less likely you will he to carry extraneous school supplies.
+ Keep organized. Look for a bag with organization pockets inside. This helps you keep all your supplies in the right place and carry fewer supplies. Book bag makers put thought into where pockets are located.
- Don't walk out the door with the bag unless you try it on in the store.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
continue to take control of their breast health.
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
by Davenport
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
These tumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // MAKE-UP BRUSHES
> Dude...gross.
Leslie Kramer had no idea her make-up brushes were harboring tons of bacteria and oil until she visited her dermatologist. "He said that if I have a breakout on my skin and I use my brushes without cleaning them regularly I could be spreading that bacteria to my skin every day," says Kramer, Joplin, Mo., sophomore.
day, says Ruthie. As a make-up artist, Tamara Neudorf knows the importance of clean make-up brushes. "Many people don't know that the bacteria and oil in their make-up brushes can grow and multiply," says Neudorf, owner of Bronze and Beauty in Prairie Village, Kan. Neudorf says if you store your brushes in drawers or on counters they can come in contact with bacteria on those surfaces.
To fight off bacteria, Tanya Munoz, makeup artist and Mary Kay consultant, suggests spritzing your brushes each day with an alcohol-based cleanser. "You need to deep clean your brushes at least once a month to kill off any bacteria that has built up." Munoz says. "You want to make sure the first or second ingredient in your cleanser is alcohol so that it works properly."
After cleaning your brushes, Munoz says to squeeze out any excess liquid and lay your brushes on a clean washcloth to dry. Then you cover your brushes with another washcloth to protect them from any dust or bacteria they could come in contact with overnight.

After Sara Hawes saw an ant crawl into her backpack, she quickly began to rifle through its contents in search of the tiny insect.
THAT'S DISGUSTING // BUGS IN FOOD
> Dude...gross.
It seems likely that Hawes would express similar disgust upon hearing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows an average of 30 fly eggs or two or more maggots per 100 grams of ketchup. "Bugs in general just gross me out," says Hawes, Paola, freshman. But, "If I can't see its tiny little legs in it, it's not a problem," she says.
The FDA regulates the number of "unavoidable defects," like insects, in manufactured foods. Peanut butter, for instance, can have up to 30 insect fragments per 100 grams. Once the contents breach the standard level, they are considered "adulterated" and are subject to government action.
"The question is not do we ban insects in food, but what level is safe," says Ira Allen, a press officer for the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "Things made with wheat, for instance, are bound to have a
certain level of insects in them because wheat grows in fields and insects live in fields," he says.
MEGAN RUPP
Allen says it took years of consultation with industry leaders and scientific academics to develop standards at which insects can be consumed or exterminated safely. Philip Nixon, an entomologist at the University of Illinois, says there may be an "ew" factor in our society regarding bugs, but they are perfectly safe to consume.

In only their second practice game of the season, the layhawks already looked to be in mid-season form, both on offense and defense.
One of the main elements con
tributing to KU's win was smart, effective base running, according to coach Megan Smith.
"We really try to make it a focus for us at practice, to really work on that base running so we can utilize that during our games this season," Smith said.
The Jayhawks were very attentive on the pads, stealing bases at appropriate times and getting good leads which turned into runs scored.
Complimenting the base running was the hitting clinic put on by the Jayhawk batters.
Sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull helped ignite the team's offense, accounting for three RBIs including a run scored.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.

Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU // GOING OUTSIDE
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
WITH WET HAIR
Courtney Fountain's mother told her never to go out into the cold with wet hair. If she did, she risked catching a cold. Fountain, Salisbury, Mo., junior, chose to ignore the advice. "Sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't have time to dry my hair." Fountain says. "I've gone out with wet hair before and never gotten sick."
What may sound like a health risk actually breaks a health myth. Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor for Student Health Services, says you can't get sick simply from going outside in cold weather with wet hair.
"It can leave you susceptible and weaken your immune system because you'll lose so much heat through your head," Quinlan says. "You catch the cold virus by coming in contact with it on surfaces or in the air."
She says we lose the same amount of heat from our heads as any other part of out bodies, but the head is what we neglect to cover. Quinlan says showering during cold weather months can actually
act as a defense measure against the virus particles people send into the air each time they sneeze or cough.
Verdict Okay for you!

GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU // WHOLE MILK
Milk doesn't always do the body good Despite the calcium benefits, you might be packing on a lot of unnecessary fat. Shannon Jones, a registered dietitian in Lawrence, says whole milk has the equivalent of two pats of butter. Skim milk, which is the recommended type of milk, has none. "You get the same amount of nutrients and vitamins from each type of milk, but the change in fat and calories makes a big difference," Jones says.
Chapman says college is a pivotal period to strengthen your skeleton. Once you hit your early thirties you start losing bone density, she says.
Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, agrees that the problem with whole milk is the amount of fat it contains. Whole milk has 3.25 percent butterfat content while skim milk only has 0.5 percent butterfat content. "You don't need to drink whole milk because you get everything you need from skim milk to build your bones," she says
To help reach your 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day, Chapman recommends including yogurt, cheese and calcium-enriched orange juice in your diet.

Got milk? Even though whole milk contains more fat than skim, whole milk can strengthen your bones and increase your necessary calcium intake.

Nice to meet you! Making a good impression starts with a firm handshake. Maintain eye contact and engage with your internship interviewer.
It's 4:30 P.M. after a long day at the office. Only 30 minutes stand between the interns and their freedom and they are getting restless. The clock ticks by slowly. Tick. Tock. They have completed all of their assignments. They have wasted all the time they possibly can on Facebook, Twitter and their favorite blogs. What else can they possibly do?
Not stare at the clock, for starters. Sarah Ferguson, senior account manager at Barkley, an advertising firm in downtown Kansas City, says there is always work to be done and sitting around waiting for five o'clock does nothing for the intern and nothing for the company. She says taking the initiative to reach out to coworkers and send an email asking for work not only helps out around the office and gives interns experience, it's also an impressive quality.
Erin Wolfram, KU's internship coordinator, says there have been 238 students at the University who have participated in an internship since Summer 2007. Those 238 students represent almost every major offered at the University, from education to economics to women's studies, and that number does not include students who didn't register with Wolfram's office. With their internships, these students were offered a foot in the door and a great networking opportunity, but Wolfram says those aren't the only reasons you should consider participating in one.
An internship, she says, offers you the opportunity to experience working in a professional environment specific to the field of work you want to pursue after graduation. But, before accepting an internship, it's important to know what an internship should do for you and what you should do to get the most out of your internship.
THE CHANGING FACE OF INTERNSHIPS
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR INTERNSHIP
In today's market, companies are struggling with smaller budgets and often can't afford to pay interns. Of the 238 students who registered with Wolfram's office, 65 percent were unpaid. But while unpaid internships are a growing trend and the opportunity can often be payment enough, make sure the experience you are

getting is worth it.
"If they aren't paying you, you need to do some meaningful work," Patty Noland, career advisor for the journalism school, says.
The U.S. Department of Labor redefined the statutes for an internship under the Fair Labor Standards Act in April 2010. According to the

report, the business employing the intern should not be dependent upon the student's work. With the economy in the state that it's in, businesses are forced to cut back, often leaving companies with fewer employees burdened with twice the workload. If an intern is solely performing the duties an employee on payroll would do, such as filing or answering phones, and not learning from their experience, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, they should be paid.

"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.

Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
nignt.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

Even if you are being paid, you should still check and see if you are eligible to receive credit. Noland says lots of companies offer students both financial compensation and school credit for their work. Paid or unpaid, Noland says you should view your internship as an educational opportunity, especially if you are receiving credit, and should be sure that you are learning from your experience. If you find yourself spending the majority of your time filing, running errands or are unhappy with your experience, speak with your supervisor and see if there is other work you can do.
MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
Remember, you are being watched. Whether you notice it or not, people in the office are watching to see what kind of work you can produce and evaluate your professionalism in a work environment. Joleene Phillips, assistant director of the business school career center, says an internship is essentially a three or four month-long interview. She says you should use that time to your advantage to impress your boss and coworkers.
This can start with your appearance. Even if you find yourself at a company that has a more casual dress code, dressing up makes a lasting impression. Sara Johnson, Shawnee senior, has an internship at KVS Health Systems Inc. in Kansas City and says she thinks it is better to be overdressed than underdressed. She says in her first few weeks at her internship she wore nice slacks and a blouse to work and studied what her coworkers wore and dressed accordingly. Johnson's supervisor, Jenny Wolf,
says she was impressed by her professionalism and noted that Johnson made the effort to ask about the dress code in the office during her interview.
Professionalism goes far beyond the way you dress. Phillips says it is important for interns to keep the workplace strictly professional and says interns need to remember that employers and coworkers are not their friends. Phillips says certain activities that are appropriate on campus, such as listening to your iPod or texting, are not appropriate in an office setting. Even if you see coworkers with earbuds in or on their cell phones, it does not mean it is okay for you to do the same.
Another way to impress your coworkers is to be informed about the company. Do your homework. Use the Internet to your advantage and read about the history and current actions of the company. Phillips says being familiar with your work environment before starting will not only impress your boss, but will better prepare you for your internship.
Ferguson, account executive, says a big quality she notices in an intern is their attitude. She says you should "always accept an assignment with a smile." A negative attitude doesn't help anyone and it makes you look bad. Ferguson says a big issue that a lot of employers have with this generation of workers is that they think they are better than the job they are asked to do. She says part of being an intern is working on mundane assignments and advises students to address the boring assignments the same as they do the fun ones. "If they have a negative attitude it isn't going to get the work done faster," Ferguson says.
Photo illustration by Howard Ting Link up: Social media can also help in the professional world with networking sites like LinkedIn. The site can help you stay in touch with contacts and each out to future employers.
Marian Salzman, president of Euro RSCG Worldwide, says she sees different kinds of workers from this generation. "My own impression is there is a huge range from massively productive co-creators to insanely hard-to-manage narcissists," Salzman says. A bad attitude will land you in the latter category and make you stand out in a negative way.
If you want to get noticed in a positive way, Noland, career advisor, says you should be the first one there and the last one to leave. She says a lot people you are working with may have to leave at a specific time, but if you can stay later you should. Ferguson says she absolutely notices if an intern is there early or stays late and that it says a lot about their work ethic if they are willing to put in extra time.
The best way to make a great impression is to take the initiative to give your opinion. You're there to learn. Don't be afraid to speak up. Ferguson says Barkley wants interns who are going to take an assignment and see how they can make it better. She says they should use what they've learned in their own experiences in school and life to make the project better.
NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK
The main reason internships are so alluring is because students hope it will turn into a full-time job or other opportunity. Ferguson says she works directly with six people who were former interns, five of which were hired in the last five years. She herself started as an intern at Barkley before she was offered a full-time position.
Making a good impression is a vital part of getting a job, but that isn't always enough. You also have to be remembered. Noland says students shouldn't be afraid to speak up or introduce themselves to people they work with.
Nathan Bremer, advising specialist for the economic department, says creating and maintaining contacts after the end of your internships is important not only to potentially secure a job, but also to gain references when applying for other career opportunities. He says taking advantage of social networking is a great way for students to stay in contact with coworkers.
Bremer says creating a profile on LinkedIn, a
social media website focused on professional relationships, will help you stay connected to the company you worked for. A great resume isn't always enough to land a job. The best way to get hired is to know someone who already works for the company. An internship provides a foot in the door, but you have to maintain contacts to keep that door open.
Leaving a good impression and making the most out of your internship can help you land future job prospects. Justin Bousy, a KU graduate, says his internship at a hospital in London is the reason he got into graduate school at NYU. "It was completely worth it," Byous says. "It was the best choice I made in college." Jp

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
These lungs will not be i- bibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.

In only their second practice game of the season, the layhawks already looked to be in mid-season form, both on offense and defense.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO RAMP A BIKE INTO POTTFR I AKF
> We know you're curious ...
Flying bikes into Potter Lake is a longstanding tradition to end the school year with a bang. We're on a garage sale bicycle. Never high quality. Never a bike that you actually feel safe riding. My friend Kevin suggested riding on the pegs as a joke, since there had never been two riders before. But neither of us backed out of the joke.
We started out pretty high on the hill, needing enough speed to launch both of us. We're pumping each other up. We're nervous. Then we start rolling. Steering is ten times harder with two people — a fight to keep straight and balanced. Flying down the hill, I zoned in on the ramp. Oh yeah, and the ramp was also on fire, but I was too focused to feel the heat. If you don't hit the ramp, you're done; you roll straight into the reeds. Kevin's grip on my shoulders got increasingly tighter as we neared the lake. Our plan was that once we were mid-air, Kevin would fly right, the bike would fly left and I would fly straight. Follow the plan, I thought, follow the plan.
But then Kevin fell off. He lost the pegs and half flew off the ramp. We weren't in the air
BY LUKE MUELLER / AS TOLD TO JOSH HAFNER more than a few seconds, but it felt like eternity. Hitting the water was a puzzle of people and bicycle all mixed together. We came out to a glorious victory. Everyone cheered us on as we showed off new scrapes and battle wounds.
No cops ever showed up, but a couple of faculty members stood by and watched.

Q&A // BRENDAN HANGAUER: VOCALIST/GUITARIST OF FOURTH OF JULY > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
SANTA CRUZ
MUNICIPALITY OF SANTA CRUZ
MUNICIPALITY OF SANTA CRUZ
Beloved Lawrence locals Fourth of July started as a solo project with Brendan Hangauer and an acoustic guitar. Now, it's all in the family. Joined by brothers Kelly and Patrick on keys and bass, plus other brothers Brian and Brendan Costello, the band's latest collection of jangly guitar-driven folk rock, Before Our Heart's Explodel, dropped last week. At the band's house/rehearsal space across from Memorial Stadium, Hangauer mused about youth, therapeutic songwriting and whether there's even a Starbucks in Lawrence.
Jayplay:
So what are the pros and cons of living across the street from the stadium?
Brendan Hangauer:
It's great. We're in a spot where we can party or have DJs out until five in the morning, and during football games we can charge for parking and make 50 dollars a spot. We have some older neighbors next door who are sweethearts. They open their windows when we practice and bring us Girl Scout cookies. We love it.
JP. One review of the new album said the band's lyrics and your vocal delivery had an "everyman" quality about them. Do you try to make relatable music?
BH: I really write songs to express things that I want to express. I think it's one of those things where it's so deeply personal, but other people can relate to it if you've ever been halfway in love or felt anything toward anybody. Every song I write makes me feel better about the situation. I could play a song I wrote 10 years ago and be taken back to exactly how I was feeling.
JP. It's been three years since your first album came out in 2007. Do the songs on Before Our Hearts Explode! still feel new, or comfortably worn?
BH: They definitely feel pretty worn, in a good way. As soon as you have an album out that people can take home and listen to, that's when they start really appreciating the songs. We had a lot of time to practice them live.
BH: Definitely. There was one song on the album called 'Wedding Day' that got cut because it was way too drawn out. You make things as precise as possible because it's way too easy for the crowd to lose interest.
JP. So when you choose which songs to put on the album, do you keep the live show in mind?

Sparks fly; from left to right: Kelly Hangauer, Brian Costello, Brendan Hangauer, Brendan Costello and Pat Hangauer make up the local band, Fourth of July. The band lives across from the stadium in Lawrence, and throws in frequent references to the college town in songs.
Having lived in Lawrence for a while and seen the town's trajectory, where do you think the arts and music scene is going? What local bands and artists are you excited about?
BH: I would like to see a lot more bands working together. But if you're in a band in Lawrence and you get somewhat popular, everyone turns on you. It happened to The Get Up Kids. It's a weird town that likes to turn on itself.
JP. So you think most students are disconnected with the music scene in Lawrence?
BH. My little brother played a KJHK thing [on campus] and nobody paid any attention until there was a raffle for an Xbox. Then there were like 1,000 freshmen. You have to hear that there's even a scene first. Some will live in Lawrence for four years and have no clue there's an arts and music scene.
JP It's kind of like how the Kansan does 'Top of the Hill' every year, where students vote on their favorite businesses and Starbucks wins 'Top Coffeehouse.'
BH: Really? Is there a Starbucks here? There's like 10 other local coffee shops. See, that pinpoints it.
JP: A friend asked me what your band sounded like. I told him I thought it sounded like Lawrence. You even reference Free State Brewery on one song. How much of an influence does the city play lyrically and musically?

BH: I've been here for nine years and it plays a huge part. I have a lot of friends who used to live in Lawrence and moved away and say "I listened to your album and miss Lawrence so much!" It's the feel of Lawrence — easy living but in a complicated in a way.

Senior guard Tyrel Reed is one of the quickest players on a fast Kansas roster. Reed said the athleticism on this year's team reminded him of the 2007-2008 national title-winning team.
Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths.
"Coach Self wanted us to play
fast from the beginning, so for us to have a more athletic team from top to bottom just put us right where we want to be," Robinson said.
Reed said the ability to go from one through five without a significant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas. One that won a national championship.

Coming off a 10-0 win against Baker in the practice season opener, the Jayhawks looked to continue their winning streak, taking the field against Johnson County Community College Wednesday night. The Jayhawks won 16-1.
night. The Jayhawks hit Kansas struck first, going up 2-0 after a homerun by senior outfielder Liz Koon to right field in the bottom of the first inning, with a runner on second. In the next inning, the Jayhawks chased Johnson County's starting pitcher Lynna Kays after adding eight more runs onto their lead on six hits.
runs only once. The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.
The Jayhawks pounced on the Cavaliers, totaling 16 runs on 15 hits with two errors. The Cavaliers totaled one run, three hits and six errors.
In only their second practice game of the season, the Jayhawks already looked to be in mid-season form, both on offense and defense.
One of the main elements con
tributing to KU's win was smart, effective base running, according to coach Megan Smith.
"We really try to make it a focus for us at practice, to really work on that base running so we can utilize that during our games this season," Smith said.
Simhi said.
The layhawks were very attentive on the pads, stealing bases at appropriate times and getting good leads which turned into runs scored.
Complimenting the base running was the hitting clinic put on by the Jayhawk batters.
Sophomore outfieldier Rosie Hull helped ignite the team's offense, accounting for three RBIs including a run scored.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.

jones said. The Jayhawks take the field next on Saturday with double header action against Seminole State Community College and Washburn at Arrocha Ballpark.
"I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to" Jones said.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
square good.
The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes.
Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

O&A // DIRECTORS ANNA BODEN & RYAN FLECK, ACTOR ZACH GALIFIANAKIS OF 'IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers
EXIT
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson, Sugar) are the directors of It's Kind of a Funny Story, a coming-of-age film about a depressed and stressed-out teenager, Craig, who checks himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) plays Bobby, another patient in the psychiatric ward who befriends the 16-year-old and acts as his mentor. The film opens tomorrow, Oct. 8. Anna, Ryan and Zach spoke with Jayplay about moviemaking, the pressures of college and Zach's facial hair.
In addition to 'It's Kind of a Funny Story, you and Anna have written and directed several other movies together. Do you always see eye-to-eye or do you have creative confrontation?
We see eye-to-chest — I'm a little bit taller than she is. We try to hash our disagreements in pre-production so once we're on set we're on the same page. That's not to say we don't have disagreements, but I think we know how to handle them efficiently.
JP: Why should college students see this film?
RY: College students have a lot of the same pressures that Craig is going through in this movie. You have a lot of stresses, not just your studies but with getting a job after college. But go see this movie — it might make you feel better for a while.
JP. What's the message college students can take away from the film?
Craig learns to appreciate the things he has.I feel like I need to remind myself to count my blessings a lot of the time.I think that we'd be a lot happier if we did that more often.
I think college kids freak out about life and the future just as much as Craig does. Do you have any advice or is the psych ward the best solution?
Go donate your plasma and then drink a six-pack. That really can calm the nerves down. The pressure of college students is ridiculous. When I was in school there was a lot of pressure, more pressure than any other time in my life, which is why I never liked school. It's good for people who work with ulcers. But chill out, young ones, chill out. Those who are chilling out too much, go clean your room and study some.
JP Now that you've done drama and comedy, could you see yourself take on a full-time dramatic role in the future?
ZG: I'd like to do a movie where I have my shirt off most of the time, like a Fabio-type guy with long hair and maybe have like a bow and arrow that I save women with.
JP: Music plays an important role in the film by helping the characters relax, connect and feel alive. What was your favorite song when you were 16?
ZG Can I only pick one Lionel Ritchie song?
"September" by Earth, Wind and Fire.

A psychotic affair; Opening tomorrow, It's Kind of a Funny Story tells the tale of two psych ward patients; one a stressed out teen (Keir Gilchrist) and the other, his bearded mentor (Zach Galifianakis).
10. All your characters seem to have a beard.
Would you ever shave it off?
Z6: I can't shave it off. I have a terrible skin affliction. I have a port wine stain in the shape of India.
JP Why's the beard your signature look?
Z6. I don't know why people are so focused on it, I've had it for like 20 years. You save 15 more minutes of sleep if you're a man and you don't have to shave.
JP As an upcoming name in the movie industry, how would you choose your role?
ZG: The first question is, "Is there any nudity?" When I find out there's not, I will read the script anyway. Most of it is comedy, but sometimes it is more of a grounded comedy that has some realism to it. That's kind of how I got lucky enough to get involved in this. As far as comedic integrity, I don't have integrity in general, comedic or otherwise.

commit to take care of your breast health.
by Abby Davenport
Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.

"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tells them that it's normal, then they've learned something."

It's 7 p.m. on a Tuesday evening, and a game is being played at Water Tower Park. This game is a lot like baseball — there's a bat, a ball, and what appear to be four bases. But if you watch and listen carefully, you'll notice it's something else entirely.
Contributed Photo Let's play ball: The Lawrence Town Ball League, a game similar to baseball, was formed after being introduced to students in a class.
The game being played is town ball, an early form of baseball, and the people playing it are part of the newly formed Lawrence Town Ball League. The league began after some of the players were introduced to the game in an Early American Culture class. Now the league meets on Tuesday nights.
The historical Town Ball game uses a slightly heavier bat, a cloth ball and stakes for bases. Town ball rules vary slightly from the rules of baseball.
Synthia Somerhalder, Burlington senior, says it is more laid back and easygoing than baseball. Anywhere from eight to 30 players will show up, and Somerhalder says that no matter how many players are there, they make it fun. "The only thing that we really require for people who want to play is good sportsmanship, a smile and being able to take insults — we try to be gentleman, but we also like to give people a hard time once
in a while," Somerhalder says.
The players also give each other nicknames — Somerhalder's is Squeaks, and Sarah Bassett, Hays senior, is known on the field as Hammerlord. Bassett says not only does town ball increase the players' knowledge about early American history, but it's good exercise and a lot of fun, too.
To learn more about the Lawrence Town Ball League, visit their Facebook page or attend a game at Water Tower Park on 1225 Sunset庙 on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m.

STAGE PRESENCE // AD ASTRA ARKESTRA
> It's not all about fast food and beer polg.
Three's a crowd, as the saying goes. But local band Ad Astra Arkestra is nine members strong, and as far as they're concerned, the more members the merrier.
Ad Astra Arkestra evolved from an earlier band, Ad Astra Per Aspera, which started in 2001. In 2008, the band evolved into Ad Astra Arkestra, and Mike Tuley, a guitarist and drummer for the band, says having many people allows members to contribute their own ideas.
"We're not beholden to one incarnation or one idea, which is sort of the idea behind calling it Ad Astra Arkestra. It's a continuation of an earlier project," Tuley says.
This helps the band incorporate many different sounds, from afrobeat to free jazz and polyrhythmic to punk music. These numerous influences and collaborations offer listeners more than they might hear from a smaller band, and Tulev says that's the point.
Tuley says most members of the band are also involved with other bands or busy with their families, which can make it difficult for all nine of them to get together to practice or play a show. But when they do, it's well worth it — the group placed first in
the experimental category of the Pitch Music Showcase earlier this year. And Tuley says it was even more of an honor to look out into the crowd and see the faces of friends and fans
"The process of creating music with these people that I really like, that's the most rewarding part," says. "It's just really, really fun."

But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
night.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky," Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.

Art Nouveau: If you're craving some culture and a night in the city, First Fridays is an exciting chance to visit Kansas City galleries and immerse yourself in the art scene every month.
FINAL FRIDAYS OFFER A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
IN DOWTOWN KANSAS CITY
WELCOME TO
THE ART-LAND
On a sunny Thursday afternoon in September,
The Blue Gallery in the Crossroads District of
downtown Kansas City is quiet. The owner,
Kelly Kohn, sits at her desk, while her dog Starle
But Oct. 1, this gallery, located at 118 Southwest Boulevard, along with the rest of the neighborhood, will be bustling with the thousands of people First Fridays draws to the district since it first began 10 years ago.
Kohn, who has participated in over 130 First Fridays, says the event started when all of the galleries in the district got together and decided, as a group, to have openings, or at least be open, on the same night. The idea was to give people an overview of what the galleries offer.
First Fridays is an event that is held on the first Friday of every month and happens rain or shine. Kohn says it attracts people from all over the country and offers visitors a unique experience, not just in the different galleries and venues that participate, but on the sidewalks as well. She says there are street performers, local artists and food vendors.
Over the years, the idea has snowballed and gained popularity. Kohn says roughly 10 commercial art galleries participate but other groups in the neighborhood — ones that wouldn't be considered to be a typical art
gallery — have started opening their doors to visitors as well.
Hannah Flemming, daughter of Dan Flemming, D.D.S., says her father features an artist each month in an art gallery, Apex, within his dental practice, Crossroads Dentistry, 1819 Wyandotte St. She says he has been participating in First Fridays for almost seven years. Flemming says when her father first moved his practice into its current location it was more of a warehouse. He designed the office himself and renovated it to create a space that could double as an art gallery.
Mildred's Coffee shop, located next door to Crossroads Dentistry at 1821 Wyandotte St. displays a different artist's work each month and First Fridays serves as their first public showcase. Josh Carch, a cook at Mildred's, says they have been participating for five years. He also says the coffee shop always stays open late for the event and sometimes have live music playing in their parking lot.
Matt McNary, a designer at Hammerpress, says that for First Fridays the store will occasionally have musicians and sales of their products, such as stationary, posters, and a variety of other items, all made from letterpresses inside their store. McNary also says that Hammerpress also sometimes features Fresher Than Fresh, a local snow cone
stand that offers unique flavors such as lemon prickly pear, watermelon basil, and blackberry lavender.
Grinders, 417 E. 18th St., has been open for five years and Libby Henderson, the restaurant's manager, says they love First Fridays. She describes it as a really fun experience and says it's a great atmosphere for the artists and the crowd. She says Grinders features a specific artist and has the work on display throughout the restaurant.
Grinder's owner, who goes by 'Stretch', is an artist himself — a sculptor — and says the Crossroads District is great because "there are more artists per capita than any other city in the country."
Kohn says the Crossroads covers one square mile and that it's difficult for people to see everything in one night. She says people generally go to their favorite spots but all of the groups participating "act as one entity."
Some may think that these establishments are in competition with one another, but Kohn says this is not the case. She says it makes sense for galleries to be in the same area because they feature different artists.
Kohn suggests visitors make a night of First Fridays and arrive early, as parking tends to be a hassle. She says on a beautiful fall evening, it's not surprising if more than 7,000 people
show up.
Although students who wish to participate must travel to Kansas City, Zoe Horn, Prairie Village senior, says it's completely worth it. "I love First Fridays," Horn says. "The whole city gets together in a small proximity and get to enjoy one another in the presence of art."
SECOND SATURDAYS
If you don't want to wait until November for an experience in the Crossroads, you can still head down for a Second Saturdays. This monthly event is more of an educational experience and functions as a field trip. The cost is $10 for adults, two people for $15, and children are free. Reservations are required. This month the tour of the Crossroads begins at Mildred's Coffeehouse, located at 1821 Wyandotte. To make reservations call 913-638634 and for additional information kccrossroads.org.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
alth
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to

breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
ibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinian said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

see how this tinged out. Marcus Morris said the difference may be most noticeable on defense.
Senior guard Tyrel Reed is one of the quickest players on a fast Kansas roster. Reed said the athleticism on this year's team reminded him of the 2007-2008 national title-winning team.
"I think without Cole and having Keef at the five and having T-Rob coming in, we're going to be a lot quicker in coming off ball screens and being able to trap and sometimes switch with the five," he said. "Keef can guard and T-Rob can guard, so I think we'll be a lot quicker on the perimeter."

Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up-tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths.

Reed said the ability to go from one through five without a significant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas. One that won a national championship.
"I'd say, being here in '07-08,
yeah, it definitely does look a lot
more like it." Reed said. "Just from
the standpoint that we have a lot of guys that can go and get scores and do their own thing. We're all unselfish, and I think that's kind of the way they were."

Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
The way I see it. Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.

Life in the fast lane: Whether you're bowling for recreation or taking a more serious approach, there are plenty of places in Lawrence — and on campus — to get your fill of gutter balls and strikes.
ALLEY CATS
It's a Wednesday afternoon and Jaybowl in the Kansas Union is filled with the rumbling sounds of bowling balls speeding along the shiny, wooden lanes and crashing into pins. There is talking and laughter throughout the room, giving the bowling alley an atmosphere of collegiate community. Some students are there for recreation, and some because it's a class requirement. Others, like Jacob Feurer, Olathe senior, are there to practice. For Feurer, bowling is a serious sport — one that requires technique, concentration and a lot of training.
Whether students are at the bowling alley for pleasure or practice, it's clear that they're all enjoying themselves. Feurer, who has been bowling since he was five years old, says the sport is an affordable group activity that allows people of all skill levels to have fun.
AMANDA SORELL
STUDENTS BOWL FOR COMPETITION AND CAMRADERIE
As president of the KU Bowling Club, Feurer's presence at Jaybowl is strictly business. He's there to better his game, and he throws his bowling ball with a smooth accuracy, knocking down all the pins two, three, four times in a row. Feurer says the practice can be frustrating, but he likes the competition. "It's like golf — you have to play against yourself," Feurer says. "You hate doing the groundwork, like practicing, but bowling tournaments are a lot of fun."
The differences between those who play for fun and those who play to compete is also clear on Wednesday night at Royal Crest Lanes. The left lanes are filled with league players
bowlers who have a look of competitive concentration on their faces, focusing on the pins at the end of the lane and knocking them all down. But to the right, the bowlers are a little less serious, watching their friends bowl with a beer in hand and laughing when their ball goes in the gutter.
For those who aren't into the competition, bowling offers a fun atmosphere that's a little calmer than going out to the bars and a little more entertaining than staying at home. Nik Westman, Overland Park senior, likes to bowl at Royal Crest Bowling Alley, and says that bowling is a sport that anyone can enjoy.
"You don't have to be an athlete at all, and it's a lot of fun for anyone who gives it a shot," Westman says.
Bowling's appeal dates back thousands of years ago. According to the International Bowling Museum in Arlington, Texas, a primitive form of bowling can be traced back to 3200 B.C. Variations of the game continued to evolve until the 1950s, when televising the sport increased its popularity. Today, bowling is played for competitive sport and as a recreational game all around the world.
Lawrence is no exception. Friday and Saturday nights at Jaybowl offer cosmic
bowling, and Jaybowl employee Hally Crangle Lincoln, Kan., senior, says on those nights the lanes are filled with sociable students having a good time with friends. On weekdays, however, it might just be the bowling team occupying the lanes during practice.
Burton Geppford, manager of Jaybowl, says it's normal for 20 to 30 students to visit Jaybowl during the week, and the most popular nights are on the weekends. He says the atmosphere and campus vibe draws students in, whether they're playing competitively or not.
Jason Morris, an employee at Royal Crest Bowling lanes, says the contrast between the league players and those who are there for the drink specials is evident, but ultimately, everyone is there for the same reason — to enjoy the bowling alley's atmosphere and to have a good time.

REVIEW
MOVIE REVIEW // RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE
At this point, Milla Jovovich has said the words "My name is Alice" so many times that she is probably saying them in her sleep. It is probably just as convincing of a performance too.
Paul W.S. Anderson (director of the first film and writer for the whole series) appears to have directed Resident Evil: Afterlife with a Wiim remote, as the film lacks any kind of creative flair or tactile directorial authority.
The acting is atrocious. Jovovich acts by arching eyebrows and plays dress-up for her husband (the director), wearing sleek ninja bodysuits and an apocalyptic-chic getup. Ali Larter offers up her Heroes-sharpened acting skills, which consists of one or two facial expressions that convey distress. Wentworth Miller of TV's Prison Break is there too, though
Going over the plot is irrelevant, but here it is anyway: Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues to fight the evil Umbrella Corporation, and along the way finds herself amidst a rag-tag team of survivors in Los Angeles. There are zombies and other monsters, shootouts, and very little else.
I'm not sure if even he knows why.
B. S. HADLAND
The action is standard: slow motion, back flips and explosions, all set to music that sounds like a clunky chainsaw. Even the film's greatest hook, the "state of the art 3D technology" doesn't do anything to breathe life into the film. You barely even notice the effects save for the occasional thing that pops up at you every now and again.
The film has one saving grace: it makes for great riffing. If you bring some friends (preferably those familiar with MST3K), you'll have a ball, particularly with main villain; a male model with a Matrix-inspired costume doing a bad Agent Smith impersonation.
Otherwise, stay at home and play a video game.

MOVIE REVIEW // THE TOWN
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
And to think, it wasn't all that long ago that Ben Affleck was the laughing stock of the entertainment industry. Who would have thought that the star of Daradevil was still a good actor, and an even better director?
When the gang fears she could identify them, their cool headed leader, Doug MacRay (Affleck), decides to keep an eye on her, only to start a relationship with her soon after. While his relationship blossoms, MacRay also prepares to leave his life of crime behind.
When a successful team of armed robbers hit their latest bank, one of the bank's employees (Rebecca Hall) is taken hostage by one of the more rowdy thieves (Jeremy Renner), only to release her later, unharmed.
The Town follows the trend of the Boston crime film, not unlike The Departed or Affleck's last film, Gone Baby Gone. Like New York and Chicago before it, Boston has an intriguing grasp on the genre because of the town's unique culture and natural beauty. Affleck captures this so well that Boston is as much a character in the film as it is its human co-stars.
The script itself is decent, but not without a few clichés in its story. The film is saved by Affleck's artful direction as well as by a terrific cast — all transcend charicature by providing an emotional depth that saves the film from mediocrity. Renner, in particular, steals the film as a two-bit thug who has the film's best lines, and serves as the heart of the story.
The Town is one of the best of the year thus far, and is an incredible example of how far a little talent and vision can take your run-of-the-mill Hollywood crime story.

FOOD REVIEW // ZEN ZERO
> The taste of the town, one meal at a time.
ZENIZERO
Anchored among a concentration of tasty eateries along the 800 Massachusetts drag one might think that Zen Zero could be easily forgotten. With La Parilla, The Burger Stand and Esquina just a stone's throw away, there must be competition between this fleet of foodists. But that is not the case. Far from getting lost in the crowd, Zen Zero is a flagship.
These features make Zen Zero a great place for a casual date. Despite having a skeletal dessert menu, the price is just too good for Zen Zero to warrant anything less than 3 stars
★★★☆
The Asian synthesis cuisine is perhaps the best bang for your buck in Lawrence. For a mealy $7.50 the customer can get a tasty, heaping serving of noodles, curry, or soup. I ordered the noodle stir-fry special, and it had a good combination of chicken, vegetables, and flat noodles in a spicy sauce.
The edamame was good, and the long list of vegetarian items makes the restaurant seem like a veggie-friendly place. They also have a giant menu, with about 50 food items. The atmosphere is boisterous but not annoying; busy but not rushed. The service was swift and the food prompt.

MUSIC REVIEW // INTERPOL - INTERPOL (MATADOR | 2010)
Interpol begins its fourth record with the same moody minimalism that made the band's 2002 debut, Turn On The Bright Lights, such a superb introduction. The new self-titled album is a synthesis of different sounds the group has moved between: the pop adeptness of 2004's Antics and the dramatic desperation of Paul Bank's vocals on 2007's Our Love To Admirie.
Most of the album is excellently paced and grandiose. The first two songs, "Success" and "Memory Serves," remind me of the repetitive strummed guitars of "NYC," off the band's debut, and the second has stacked vocal tracks that add massive depth to the mix. Piano and bass drive the catchy third track, "Summer Well," which also has layered vocals, something the group explores more here than on any previous album.

"Barricade," the album's first single, is wonderfully disjointed post-punk menace, and an example of the album's refocusing on the dual guitar harmonies that changed on Antics and all but disappeared on Our Love...

get going.
The bass has always been a focal point for me with Interpol, as Carlos Dengler's unique lines seem to primarily drive the jagged, angular guitars, and he's on point here. Dengler left the group after the latest album was recorded in spring of 2009, and Interpol now luckily plays live with Slint guitarist David Pajo and Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis on keyboards and vocals.
My only complaint is the overly orchestral feel of the album as a whole. As a fan of Interpol, I've tried to stay neutral and distanced, but I think it's safe to say the group has matured and recorded a great album.

Kansas struck first, going up 2-0 after a homerun by senior outfielder Liz Kocon to right field in the bottom of the first inning, with a runner on second. In the next inning, the Jayhawks chased Johnson County's starting pitcher Lynna Kays after adding eight more runs onto their lead on six hits.

The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game.
The Jayhawks pounced on the Cavaliers, totaling 16 runs on 15 hits with two errors. The Cavaliers totaled one run, three hits and six errors.
In only their second practice game of the season, the Jayhawks already looked to be in mid-season form, both on offense and defense.
One of the main elements contributing to KU's win was smart, effective base running, according to coach Megan Smith.
"We really try to make it a focus for us at practice, to really work on that base running so we can utilize that during our games this season," Smith said.
Smith said.
The layhawks were very attentive on the pads, stealing bases at appropriate times and getting good leads which turned into runs scored.
Complimenting the base run
ning was the hitting clinic put on by the Jayhawk batters.
Sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull helped ignite the team's offense, accounting for three RBIs including a run scored.
"It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great."
The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done.
She finished the game, retiring the side in three consecutive batters. After the game Jones commented on the backup her team gave her while she took control of the mound.

jones said. The Jayhawks take the field next on Saturday with double header action against Seminole State Community College and Washburn at Arrocha Ballpark.
"I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to," Jones said.
Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night.
night.
The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky." Rocky is training for a heavyweight title but when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements.
Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good.
elements.
Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex.
The way I see it. Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have.
Especially if the success on the field follows.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TIME YOU HAVE WITH LOVED ONES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
He sat there, not moving much, smiling faintly through looks of exhaustion and embarrassment. His once strong, defined arms now hung limply by his side, his bony hands rested on his lap. The arms that used to scoop me up and toss me in the air could now barely lift his small glass of water. The only familiar thing now were his caramel-colored eyes. That was the last day I saw my grandpa, about a month before he died of small cell carcinoma, a type of Esophageal cancer associated with the lungs.
My older brother, Alex, sat next to me on the couch, doing his best to avoid conversation. I admired this task. Somehow, I couldn't seem to master it. His only words were triggered by my grandma's cat Fluffy, who is rightly nicknamed "The Crazy Cat" by every other member in the family because of her tendency to run up to anyone at anytime and attack them. "She doesn't do it to me so you guys must be doing something to antagonize her," my grandma routinely says in Fluffy's defense.
My mom, like usual, kept herself busy by treating me like a child, persistently asking me if I'd like something to eat or drink as if I didn't know where the kitchen was. "No, Mom. If I want something I'll get it, okay?" It was a family joke that my mom babied me at every family dinner we had — one that my older cousins loved to point out every chance they got.
That Saturday afternoon in June at my grandparents' house in Gate, Okla., was just like any other. My aunt's family showed up an hour late, something we had all grown accustomed to. It seemed like my family and her family took turns showing up "fashionably late" to every forced family get-together we had.
The rest of the family stood around in the kitchen and the living room trying their best to make small talk. Every so often my younger cousins would bring in baskets full of giant, red tomatoes and bright green cucumbers as long as my arm for everyone to see. My grandpa started gardening when my grandparents moved to Oklahoma, but once he lost all his strength he couldn't keep up with it anymore. His once neat

and manicured garden was now running wild with overgrown vegetables and weeds.
Everybody's objective, especially mine, was to avoid the reason we were all there. My family does not like family get-togethers. We aren't one of those families who gather at someone's house, break out the board games and have a good time. When we do get together, it's always for a cause: Thanksgiving, Christmas or someone's graduation. That particular Saturday's cause was my grandpa. Everyone knew he wasn't doing well and what better way to acknowledge that than to have a family dinner.
I watched my grandpa get sicker during that time. At first, we ate lunch together, usually leftovers from the night before. Eventually, he stopped eating with me. I could see his body changing. He was getting thinner, weaker and even seemed to be getting shorter. He blamed it on the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. "I'm just not feeling too good today, but I bet tomorrow will be better," he would often say.
I watched my grandpa closely as everyone made their plates. He would have never admitted it, but I could see the sadness in his eyes. He had a look of defeat. I knew this look well. I'd seen it many times during the year and a half he was sick.
Before my grandparents moved to Gate, Okla. they lived in Garden City, Kan. I was attending Garden City Community College at the time. Because I still lived at home in Deerfield, Kan., which was 25 minutes from school, my grandma insisted I come over and eat lunch with my grandpa during the week while she picked up my cousin from school. At first, I loved it. I got to avoid the long drive-thru lines and save money at the same time. I also got to spend time with my grandpa. He knew I had quizzes on current events at school, so each day when I walked through the door he would be propped up in his recliner, remote in hand, listening closely to every word the newscaster said. "Did you see what happened today? I bet that will be on your quiz," he said.
Tomorrow didn't get better. In fact, it only got worse. He eventually stopped eating solid food altogether. His doctor advised him to drink special shakes with a fat supplement added to them to make him gain weight. They didn't help. I think he spent more time throwing them up than actually drinking them. The house took on a permanent sick smell, but I wanted to see my grandpa so I ignored it.
I couldn't, however, ignore the sadness I felt seeing my grandpa so sick. I eventually stopped going to my grandparents' house for lunch. I found myself making excuse after excuse for not going: I was too busy with school, I had to work on the magazine over my lunch break or I had to take one test or another. I will always regret not going because I can't have those days back.
I was on a camping trip in Colorado last
July with friends when my mother called with the news of my grandpa's death. I didn't know what to say or how to act. All I could do was cry. I knew it would happen eventually, but I still wasn't prepared for it.
It's been more than a year since my grandpa passed away and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I will forever cherish the moments we spent together, but I regret not getting to spend more time with him. There is never enough time you can spend with someone you love. Because of my grandpa, I don't take for granted the time I get to spend with my family now. I even look forward to our family get-togethers.

Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
These lumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tells them that it's normal, then they've learned something."
Quinlan said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

The project was delayed when the Kansas Department of Transportation rejected an application from the City of Lawrence for a $174,345 transportation enhancement grant. Community organizers said the project would cost $531,000 to complete.
The unapproved grant money was an unexpected — and significant — setback to the project. Elise Higgins, former community affairs director for Student Senate, told The Kansan last October that she hoped lighting would be installed this fall. Now she hopes the project will be completed by the end of next year.
"I have not given up hope on the project," said Higgins, a KU alumna from Topeka and one of the project's founders. "As long as there's still the need for the project, there's still hope for it being completed."
The city's grant application could be strengthened if "the steep slopes, path width and bicycle access issues are addressed," according to a letter from the Bureau of Transportation Planning. The letter also said the number of applicants far exceeded the amount of funding available.
Despite the unapproved transportation grant, the lighting project did receive a $60,000 community development block grant from the
city, Student Senate approved an additional $20,000 in funding.
Organizers will most likely request more money from Senate, said Brad Rector, community affairs director and a junior from Overland Park. Other funding options include reapplying for the community development grant and requesting donations from KU alumni. Rector said he wasn't expecting the city to reapply for the transportation enhancement grant.
Rector said he plans to work closely with City Manager Dave Corliss to explore alternative funding opportunities during the next several weeks.
The proposed lighted pathways would run down the sidewalks on the north side of 12th Street between Vermont to Louisiana streets. A similar path would run down 14th Street between Louisiana and Ohio streets. The project would also add pedestrian-controlled crosswalks on Kentucky and Tennessee streets.
HEALTH
The approved LED lights stand about 15-feet tall, have the same design as the lights located on Massachusetts Street, and will be equipped with motion sensors.
Community organizers said the lighted pathways would improve safety in the student ghetto, the densely student-populated \neighborhood between the KU campus and downtown.
"I think it'd be way better to have a safe, lighted pathway where students could feel safe walking home," Rector said.
"They don't deserve to live in fear of being assaulted or robbed," Higgins said. "That's still a very real problem."

College women need to take control of breast health
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
Many college students think they are too young to worry about breast cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health educator at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said breast cancer doesn't only affect moms, aunts and grandmas — college students are at risk too.
"One in four women are affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives," McKee said. "When we look at that depiction and how many females are on campus, it's quite alarming how many students are going to be affected by breast cancer."
But there is good news as well. According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have declined significantly among women younger than 50 since 1990.
In order to continue this trend, Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main steps young women can take is to pencil a breast self-exam into their schedules once a month. Quinlan said women should have started doing monthly breast self-exams when their breasts started to develop, which is about age 13. Exams need to be done on a regular basis to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from Olathe, said although she knows how to do a breast self-exam, she has never done them on a regular basis.
"Things get busy, and it just doesn't happen." Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to learn how to do, and only take about five minutes to complete.
"It's so easy to do preventative measures that you would have to ask yourself, 'Why not?' Quinlan said.
These lumps will not be visibly noticeable, which is why it's important to do monthly breast exams so women know what their normal tissue feels like, Quinlan said.
ALIVE WITH US
Quinlan said while women are doing breast self-exams, there are a few red flags they should be on the lookout for, such as lumps.
Discharge from the nipple or any discolorations on the breast are two other signs that something could be wrong. While these symptoms do not always mean breast cancer, Quinlan said students should still check in with their doctors to make sure everything is OK.
"If anything has appeared that wasn't there before, it needs to be checked out by your physician right away," Quinlan said. "Then, if the physicians tell them that it's normal, then they've learned something."

Quinian said the rest of the steps college-aged women could take to protect themselves from breast cancer included the basics: a good night's sleep, less stress, regular exercise and good nutrition.

Political ad slams wrong politician
The radio ad mentions his younger brother, Ken Salazar, five times.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.
— A political advertisement that takes aim at Colorado U.S.
Rep. John Salazar is slightly off the mark: It names the wrong Salazar.
Ken Salazar is a former Colorado senator who is now the interior secretary. John Salazar represents the state's 3rd Congressional District and is being challenged by Republican state lawmaker Scott Tipton.
The ad is paid for by Americans United for Life, a Washington-based anti-abortion group, which tells The Daily Sentinel that a corrected ad will be aired.
The group criticizes Salazar for backing health care reform, which it says will undo a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions. President Barack Obama signed an executive order to affirm the ban.

First West Campus cafeteria opens up
For the first time in the history of KU Dining Services, a cafeteria will now operate on West Campus.
Before this year, Daisy Hill was the closest dining option for students on West Campus, but this new cafeteria is in the new School of Pharmacy building.
Dining Servies has incorporated a pharmaceutical theme in the cafeteria, naming it Mortar and Pestle Cafe. This represents the traditional mortar and pestle used to crush various ingredients before preparing prescriptions.
"It is really convenient to go in between classes or meetings," said Maggie Barnett, a pharmacy student.
Even though the cafeteria is located in the pharmacy building, anyone is welcome. Alecia Stultz, the assistant director of retail dining, said this new option could also be convenient
for students who use the Park and Ride buses.
"We open at 7:30 in the morning," Stultz said. "They can come up here, get a cup of coffee, maybe a smoothie or pastry and then there is a Park and Ride stop just on the other side of the building."
Currently, the cafeteria has a "Grill and FreshFusion" option for entrees and a Pulse store for soda, coffee and ice cream.
Barnett said she also appreciated the quality of the food.
"They cook the food right in front of you, which is really nice." Barnett said.
"I think the feedback we get most is that we are so glad there is something over here on West Campus," Stultz said.
Stultz said the convenience is also a big draw for students.
Beginning on Oct.18, Dining Services will host a week's worth of specials leading up to the Pharmacy building's dedication on Oct.22.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
Study says texting laws are ineffective
When students are driving in their cars and the phone chimes to indicate a text message, what do they do? A new study indicates that not even bans on texting while driving may stop people from checking their phones while at the wheel.
A study by the Highway Loss Data Institute, which is funded by the insurance industry, found that there is no reduction in the number of accidents among four states with texting-while-driving bans. HLDI theorizes that the ban may actually make driving less safe, as people simply text lower down, where it is less visible, but which also keeps their focus from the road they should be looking at.
Currently, Lawrence drivers who are caught texting are issued warnings, but that will change next January when a new law goes into effect. Violators who are caught texting will be sent to municipal court.

Still, Sgt. Matt Sarna from the Lawrence Police Department said there was no guaranteed formula to enforce the regulations.
It's going to be hard for officers to enforce whether they are texting or on the phone or dialing a number, Sarna said.
"That's something our officers will have to deal with when we are out on the streets."
After the new regulations come in place, the Lawrence Police Department will better be able to judge how texting affects safe driving around the University.
Lawrence students don't see how the current law has helped
Tara Falkner, a sophomore from Gardner, said she didn't think the ban would have an effect on accidents or people texting in Lawrence.

Changes to parking lots cause problems for some faculty, staff
This parking lot, located to the north of the Spencer Museum of Art, was recently changed from having some yellow, or student parking, to an all red, faculty and staff lot. The lot is usually half empty.
New arrangement leaves some lots full, spots vacant
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com
Believe it or not, students and employees of the University have many similar experiences when it comes to parking on campus.
Recent changes to certain lots have kept Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, on the phone with complaints.
"We changed a section of Memorial Drive from red to blue and I get reports every day from people saying 'It's empty, it's empty,' Hultine said.
This parking lot, located to the north of the Spencer Museum of Art, was recently changed from having some Yellow, or student parking, to an all Red, faculty and staff lot. The lot is usually half empty.
The complaining has prompted the parking commission to observe the area for the rest of the year when they will decide if it needs to be changed back.
During their monthly meeting a couple of weeks ago, the commission also reviewed the change in the Spencer Museum of Art parking lot which went from yellow and red to only red in August.
Although empty spaces are plentiful around the lot now on any given day, Hultine said the change hasn't taken away from student parking.
Better options for student transportation, such as bus fare being paid for by student fees, have led to a decline in yellow permit purchases.
Oversell of yellow permits declined from 39 percent in 2003 to 2004 to 8.4 percent in 2009
to 2010. Administratively though, oversell rose from 66.9 percent in 2003 to 2004 to 78.5 percent in 2009 to 2010.
For Betsy Bell, a sophomore from Overland Park, the choice to ride the bus only took place because she was sick of dealing with the hassle of parking around campus.
PARKING PERMITS
"I'd have to fight people for spots and end up being late for class," Bell said.
"I don't even see any spots that I could take," Bell said.
Even though she is on the bus now, Bell said she hasn't noticed the decline in yellow permit purchases.
But the time when there weren't spaces available during certain times of the day has passed, Hultine said. She said there is always something now.
Bell thinks they still need more.
"There just isn't enough student parking," Bell said.
Bell said she understood why the faculty and staff park close.
"They get to park right there," Bell said.
Hultine said students do ask to buy staff or faculty permits and although faculty and staff permits provide for better parking, they cost a considerable amount more and include certain stipulations.
The exceptionally close parking stalls with the blue signs that say "reserved for" and then display a number are reserved for individuals that hold a specific position within the University.
Over 20 positions within the University qualify a person for one reserved stall. It costs $800 to reserve a stall for one year and that includes an "alternate parker" permit for days when the permit holder is not occupying the stall. Currently, 39 faculty members have a reserved stall and Diane Goddard, vice provost for administration and finance.
PARKING PERMITS
Students only have access to yellow parking permits, but anyone eligible for blue or gold permits can purchase a permit for any lot.
- Red (part-time and full-time employees): $220 for a year, $120 per semester
- These are the average costs of permits, but the rates are prorated.
- Yellow (predominantly students and commuter): $200 for a year, $110 per semester
- Blue (age and years of service to the University must equal 62 years): $240 for a year, $132 per semester
- **Gold** (age and years of service to the University must equal 70): $285 for a year, $157 per semester
Source: KU Parking & Transit Department
Transit improvements have alleviated certain parking problems for students but Hultine doesn't see a change in store for faculty and staff parking problems.
said both Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter each have one reserved spot behind Strong Hall.
"Faculty and staff have not changed their parking behavior very much and I don't think the bus system works for them," Hultine said. "I can't make myself ride the bus."
Lawyer jailed for refusing to say Pledge of Allegiance

"I didn't expect the Pledge of Allegiance, but he asked me to do it so I did it," said Melissa Adams, 41, who testified in a child custody case that was closed to the public.
TUPELO, Miss. — When a Mississippi judge entered a courtroom and asked everyone to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, an attorney with a reputation for fighting free speech battles stayed silent as everyone else recited the patriotic oath. The lawyer was jailed.
Lampley, 49, previously refused to say the pledge in front of Littlejohn in June. He was asked to leave the courtroom, but returned after the pledge.
On Thursday, the judge again asked those in the courtroom to pledge allegiance to the flag, which stands to the right of the bench.

Carillonneur now performs on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Berghout used to only perform on Sunday afternoons, but at the beginning of this year she made the decision to play during the week too.
Every week Elizabeth Berghout, assistant professor of music and resident carillonneur, performs on the 53 bronze bells housed atop the World War II memorial.
"The Campanile is for the campus and for the students," Berghout said. "But on Sundays no one is here to hear it."

KU employee Elizabeth Mendoza spreads a blanket over a bench by the Campanile. She lies down, takes out a sandwich and delves into her book.
Can you hear the bells? You can if you're on campus at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Mendoza said she tries to eat lunch here every day. Although she's not here just to listen to the bells, she enjoys the atmosphere they create.
Matt Speise, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., agrees. He said he enjoys studying on the hillside and the sound of the music. It doesn't interfere with his homework, he said.
Berghout heard her first recital at the Campanile in 1996. Immediately
afterward she began taking lessons from the previous carillonneur.

Berghout is teaching nine students and a few community members to play the carillon, and it's no easy task.
The keyboard is nearly 6 feet long and the keys look like candlesticks, Berghout said. To play the instrument she strikes the keys with the sides of her fists and with her feet. The keys are attached to clappers which move an inch to beat up
"I fell in love with the sound of the bells." Berghout said.
"It's a physical instrument," Berghout said. "You play with your arms and legs and feet."
When Berghout selects the music, she has lot of options to choose from. There is music written for the carillon and music that is adapted for it. She said she incorporates seasonal pieces with music that people will recognize.

'Glee' surpasses Beatles record
Move oven, Beatles, and make way for the cast of "Glee."The hit TV show has now charted more songs on the Billboard Hot 100 than the Fab Four.
The Beatles placed 71 titles in the Hot 100 from their first appearance in 1964 with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" through "Real Love" in 1996. But it's taken "Glee" only a bit more than 16 months to put 75 songs onto the same chart
Because of the quantity of "Glee" releases — five or six songs are typically made available for downloading after each week's episode — its number of potential charting songs has outstripped releases by conventional bands or solo acts.
That doesn't, however, mean the "Glee" singers have surpassed the Beatles in terms of sales. Total download sales of the "Glee" titles are at 11.5 million, according to Billboard. The Beatles remain the biggest selling act of all time, with certified album sales of 177 million copies in the United States. The quartet also has received 24 gold singles awards, 10 platinum and four multiplatinum certifications.
The "Glee" tally of 75 songs is now third overall behind James Brown, who charted 91 songs, and Elvis Presley, who records the record at 108.

Pranks constant on 'Jackass 3D'set
MOVIES
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO—Johnny Knoxville didn't sleep very well while filming "Jackass 3D." Few members of the cast and crew did. They were too paranoid — a result of the constant pranks on the set — and were forced to sleep with one eye open, so to speak.
"You don't sleep," said Knoxville, while promoting the sequel with director Jeff Tremaine. "You check around corners and look over your shoulders constantly. We were like World War II fighter pilots — never let anyone on your tail."
Tremaine directed the first two "Jackass" films, which combined
made more than $164 million at the worldwide box office, and said the third film, in theaters Oct. 15, left the cast and crew a little rattled.
"For the next three years, we'll all be covering our (privates)," Tremaine said. "We're so paranoid right now."
What exactly did they do to each other?
Tremaine introduced a new prank to the group called "The Rocky", named for the "Italian Stallion" himself. It involved sneaking up behind an unsuspecting victim, splashing water in his face and then immediately punching him with a boxing glove — all while the "Rocky" theme
song played on a boombox.
"One time when I played the song, about eight people ducked and looked around," Knoxville said. "It was nerve-racking."
"The Rocky" was filmed with a camera that shoots 100 frames per second. Knoxville said. This allows the audience to see the prank — from the water splashing to the way the face reacts to the punch — in superslow motion. It's just one of many new camera tricks fans will notice in the 3-D sequel.
"You feel like you're in the scene with us," Knoxville said about 3-D. "It elevated the film to another level."

Weekend box office race does not have clear favorite

LOS ANGELES — It looks to be a tight race at the box office this weekend, with a distinct chance that none of the three movies opening nationwide will emerge a clear winner.
Walt Disney Pictures' horse racing drama "Secretariat" and Warner Bros.' romantic comedy "Life as We Know It" are both expected to sell roughly $15 million worth of tickets on their debut weekend, according to people who have seen pre-release surveys. But if both pictures perform below expectations, they could end up behind Sony Pictures' Facebook movie, "The Social Network," which is in its second weekend and on track to collect
The 3-D horror film "My Soul to Take," which Universal Pictures is releasing for Relativity Media's Rogue Pictures genre label, will probably lag behind the competition with a little less than $10 million. Young adults, who typically make up the audience for horror movies, appear to be highly interested in the first film that horror-meister Wes Craven has directed in five years. It cost about $25 million to produce.
"Social Network" has had strong weekday grosses, taking in about $2 million each day and bringing its box office total to $28.7 million by Wednesday.
$12 million to $15 million
Indeed, it appears that nothing will break on out what appears to
be a slow moviegoing weekend. Disney has aggressively marketed "Secretariat" as an inspirational family film, but it is mainly drawing interest from older adults, who are the most likely to be familiar with the Triple Crown winner from the 1970s.
"Secretariat" cost $35 million to produce and will need to open on the high end of expectations and generate strong word of mouth to end up a financial success for Disney.
One of the movie's challenges is that its likely audience overlaps with that of "Life as We Know It," which is expected to be broadly appealing to women. This weekend the two pictures will play at more than 3,000 cinemas.

EDITORIAL
Overall crime down, but areas of concern remain
The annual campus crime report has been released and it shows that some areas have seen a decrease in crime and others an increase. The University and the KU Police Department should be supported in their continued efforts to keep campus safe and students should take preventative measures to ensure their personal safety.
According to the report, in 2008 there were 82 reported burglaries on campus, 38 reported burglaries in the residence halls and six reported burglaries off campus. This year those numbers decreased significantly. In 2009 there were only 38 reported burglaries on campus, nine reported burglaries in the residence halls and there were no reported burglaries off campus.
While this decrease in burglaries is good, other areas have seen an increase. Forcible sex offenses have increased from six cases in 2008 to eight cases in 2009 and robberies on campus have increased from one case in 2008 to
Despite those increases Capt. Schuyler Bailey said overall crime has decreased in the past decade.
"The number of reported crimes, overwhelmingly nonviolent, at KU has decreased 34 percent since 1999," Schuvler said.
While on campus, Schuyler advises students to be aware of the locations of the emergency blue phones and to utilize SafeRide. When walking Schuyler said students should always walk with another person when possible, be aware of their surroundings and in walk in well-lit areas.
Schuyler attributes this decrease to police patrols, camera surveillance and the efforts to educate students and staff about how to take precautions and avoid becoming a victim of a crime.
While the decreased number of overall crimes is a good thing, students should still be proactive in keeping themselves safe.
At home, Schuyler said to always
keep the doors and windows locked and to ensure that the locks are of proper quality. He also said to use peepholes and to not leave keys hidden outside.
Students should also protect themselves in personal relationships. As the numbers show, the number of forcible sex offenses has increased this year and students should work to protect themselves.
"When going out with someone new, go on a group date or meet in a public place," Schuyler said.
He also suggests students arrange their own transportation and alert friends and family of their location to also help keep students safe.
While the overall decrease in crime on campus is a positive result of KUPD's ongoing effort to prevent crime, students should still be proactive to not become a victim.

SKEPTICISM
Herbal supplements escape needed federal regulation
In 2004 after the high-profile deaths of several professional athletes, the FDA passed a total ban on a widely available herbal supplement called ephedra.
The botanical source of the plant, Ephedra sinica, had been known to the Chinese for 2000 years as an effective treatment of respiratory problems, but also for its stimulant effects.
Lately,however,the use of ephedra became increasingly popular in the competitive atmosphere of professional sports,where any athletic advantage is welcomed.
By the time the herb was banned, however, it had been linked to 69 percent of health problems related to herbal supplements in the US, and was directly responsible for the deaths of 34 Americans.
Ephedra, for all intents and purposes, was a drug; it altered the function of people who took it, was marketed to do so, and, like many other drugs, was dangerous to those who were not instructed in how to use it properly.
Furthermore, why do nearly none of the supplements sold at health food stores carry any warning about
It its users claimed that it gave them energy to achieve athletic goals they normally wouldn't be able to and also allowed them to shed a few pounds in a pinch.
So, why are many of the drugs with similar effects locked up at Walgreen's where only a pharmacist can access them, while so many herbal supplements, some of which are potentially harmful, are available to anyone with a few bucks and time to stop by the Merc?
Good Science,
Bad Science
The answer is straightforward enough, but the reasons might cause a bit of head scratching and, probably, anger.

adverse effects or information on proper dosage, while even dandruff shampoos at pharmacies have to?
Unlike drugs created by drug companies, producers of supplements are not responsible to prove that their product is safe before introducing it to the market, and it is the responsibility of the FDA after health concerns arise—as was the case with ephedra—to test whether a supplement is safe.
The FDA simply does not hold herbal supplements to the same standards as prescription and over-the-counter drugs, due largely to the passage of The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) which essentially qualifies dietary and herbal supplements as a category of foods.
Thispolicycanleadtounecessary deaths since supplements are only found to be dangerous in retrospect, years after they were introduced to the market.
Drug manufacturers, on the other hand, are subject to an average of 14.2 years of testing their products to insure they are safe, resulting
in only 0.1 percent of compounds tested by drug companies ever being approved by the FDA.
Supplements also have no legal standards for packaging, so even the amount of active ingredients listed on the box can vary from brand to brand or even bottle to bottle—and that's assuming that the supplement claimed to be in the product is even present.
For instance, in a study of 20 arthritis supplements conducted by ConsumerLab.com, 40 percent didn't even contain the ingredients listed on their labels.
So, why would something like the DSHEA that obviously risks the lives of so many people ever be passed?
The monetary incentive to prevent the passage of such bills is obvious.
The same reason "Big Pharma" is accused of being indifferent to the health of its customers: money.
When the industry is less regulated, a supplement can be marketed to treat nearly anything, and all that is required is a disclaimer stating that the claims are not verified by the FDA.
Until the FDA steps up regulation of herbal supplements, Americans interested in pursuing possibly legitimate alternative treatments will continue to shop in veritable snake oil supermarkets, where the possible dangers of supplements are obscured by their manufacturers in the name of quick cash.

MILITARY
Time as embed fosters understanding of military
privates crawled over cement barriers, through sand and barbed wire as machine guns fired bullets 30 feet over their heads in the dark, Missouri night. I got to watch this night infiltration exercise at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., using a night-vision monocular.
The goal of the program is to allow the military and the media to better understand each other. The goal isn't to make everyone buddies just to reach a clearer grasp of what the other does and why.
Reporter's Notebook
I had this opportunity while participating in "Bridging the Gap: A Military Experience for Journalists" along with nine others from around the country and the world. It's a program coordinated by the William Allen White School of Journalism and funded by the McCormick Foundation.
Fort Leavenworth is basically a college campus. In fact, the post is recognized as the "Intellectual Center of the Army." Army majors (and some international military officers) go to Fort Leavenworth to attend the Command and General Staff College. Their job while at the post is to be a student — just like us. The officers have usually been in the Army for 10 or so years. They've been deployed two, three or four times.
Last Sunday through Friday, I spent time at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Sure, these are both Army posts, but I learned how different they are, too.
One thing did surprise me though. 40 percent of Army majors go to Fort Leavenworth with a Masters degree.80 percent leave the post with a Masters degree.
Fort Leonard Wood is on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Basic training also takes place at Fort Leonard Wood. Privates do physical training — "PT" — at 500 hrs. They learn to shoot guns. They do obstacle courses. They sleep in barracks. They eat MREs or Meals, Ready-to-Eat.
I learned a heck of a lot last week. I have more respect for members of the Armed Forces. The military is its own culture — a culture that puts their lives on the line for the rest of us.
Fort Leonard Wood is a home to the 43rd Adjutant General Battalion — a reception battalion. This is where newly enlisted privates get medical check-ups, eye and dental exams and receive their uniforms.
Plus, I think the military is the most respectful culture I've ever witnessed. Every member of the military I talked to — privates, majors, sergeants, generals and everyone else — addressed me as "maa'm." (I was only called "sir" once. It was an accident.)
At the ripe age of 20 years old, "maam" isn't something I'm called very often.
Honestly, I feel like I'm the one who should have addressed them as "sir" and "ma'am." They're the ones fighting for our rights and defending our constitution. And they volunteered to do it. I think that's pretty powerful.

Chatterbox
"They cannot be reasoned with. The only solution for communists is to isolate their economies so they have to be self-sufficient.
The joke is on them. No communist is self-sufficient because they do not work. Oh sure, in America they have jobs. But they hate them. They hate their bosses, hate anyone who makes more money than them and they hate the stockholders who contribute value.
They will never acknowledge the facts (Stalin, Lenin - mass deaths, elimination of teachers !!! thats a big one they don't mention) They never debate the issues.
Communism is institutionalized mass death. To a communist, a new human is a cost to the system. To a capitalist, a new human is value. End of story?
They will attack you narcap - personally. Watch for them to call you names instead of discuss the issues. By discussing the issues they give criticism credence and risk losing the naive to rationality.

"I would first like to say that I am not a communist, and do not advocate any form of violence. What I am is a socialist - at term which has been stigmatized beyond recognition. I would also like to say that I often have very meaningful conversations with people who do not agree with me.My guiding principle is rationality, and I do not easily take to ideas I have not fully explored."

Martinez runs wild as Huskers roll
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez rushed for 242 yards and four touchdowns Thursday night and the seventh-ranked Cornhuskers ended a 99-year rivalry with Kansas State in the same lopsided fashion it began, thrashing the slower, outmanned Wildcats 48-13.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Daniel Thomas, a senior running back who was averaging 157 yards a game for the Wildcats (4-1), was held to 63 yards on 22 carries.
Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez gets past Kansas State defensive tackle Ray Kibble to score a touchdown during the first quarter of the game Thursday in Manhattan.
Martinez, the redshirt freshman who has rushed for 737 yards in his first five games for the Huskers (5-0), also threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Kyler Reed for a 38-6 lead in the third quarter. His rushing total broke Jammal Lord's Nebraska record for a quarterback and his four rushing TDs tied the team quarterback mark. He was replaced by Cody Green with almost 10 minutes left in the game.
Kansas State did not have nearly enough quickness to keep up with Martinez and the Huskers. Roy Helu broke loose for a 68-yard TD run in a 21-point third quarter that made a rout of what could be the last game these two schools
Martinez finished 5 of 7 for 128 yards as the Huskers piled up 587 yards total offense in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
ever play. In a rousing start to their farewell Big 12 tour, the Huskers' shortest touchdown play was 14 yards.
Headed next year to the Big Ten, they said goodbye to Kansas State with a six-game winning streak that raised their overall record against the Wildcats to 78-15-2, a series they began in 1911 with a 59-0 blowout and dominated almost start-to-finish.
In one four-game stretch in the 1980s, Nebraska outscored Kansas State 183-9. So getting kicked around by Nebraska was nothing new to Kansas State fans who had hoped to send them out of the Big 12 with a loss.
But the Huskers had too much speed and too much Martinez. Their scoring drives in the third quarter covered 80 yards in three plays, 68 in one and 80 in two.
Kansas State's only TD came on a 2-yard pass on fourth down from Carson Coffman to Chris Harper late in the fourth quarter. Brodrick Smith, Kansas State's sophomore wide receiver, hurt his left leg on the third-down play and was taken off the field on a cart as play was stopped for several minutes.
Martinez got the Huskers rolling with a 14-yard TD run in the first quarter. In the second, he went around right end, the linebacker bit on the fake to the running back, and Martinez went 35 yards to the end zone. He
made it 24-3 58 seconds into the third quarter when he burst up the middle through a big hole and raced 80 yards untouched.
Helu's 88-yard run made it two touchdowns in four plays for the Huskers.
In the fourth quarter, a personal foul was called on Kansas State's Brandon Harold for a blow to Martinez's head. After the penalty, Martinez went 41 yards to the end zone.
NBA
Wall shines late, carries Washington to win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Rookie John Wall missed his first nine shots before showing the skills that made him the top overall pick in this year's NBA draft, pacing the Washington Wizards to a 97-83 preseason win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night.
For most of three quarters, Wall looked like your average first-year pro.
After scoring 21 in his preseason debut on Tuesday in Dallas, Walt didn't get his first basket until there was just 3:15 left in the third quarter. He hit a driving layup
off a fast break, something he's certain to do hundreds of times this season.
From there on, he hardly missed.
Wall scored 12 points in a span of 8:26, and finished with nine assists in 37 minutes before coach Flip Saunders pulled him with 6:49 to play and the Wizards comfortably ahead.
Yi Jianlian scored 16 points and Gilbert Arenas 13 for Washington.
J. J. Hickson scored 16, Daniel "Boobie" Gibson 10 and Ryan Hollins had 14 rebounds for the Cavaliers, still finding their way
without superstar LeBron James and in new coach Byron Scott's uptempo offense. Cleveland had 26 turnovers and shot only 35 percent.
Wall displayed some of the jaw-dropping speed that convinced the Wizards he can be the face of their franchise and the one to bring them back following an embarrassing 26-56 season marked by Arenas' 50-game suspension for a felony gun conviction.
With the third quarter winding down, Wall took the inbounds pass, darted past several Cavaliers and streaked down the lane for a layup in the final second. In the
fourth, Wall converted a threepoint play underneath that helped the Wizards open at 74-57 lead.
Wall's offensive repertoire tends to overshadow what he can do defensively. However, he had four steals in his first game at Dallas and Saunders has been impressed with the point guard's relentless attitude on defense.
MLB
Yankees take a 2-0 lead home to NY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS Andy Pettit and the New York Yankees stumbled through September and landed in the AL wild-card spot.
As the Minnesota Twins can attest, the Yankees are hardly an underdog in October.
Pushing the home-field advantage back in Minnesota's face, Pettitte turned in a vintage postseason performance with seven smooth innings and Lance Berkman had two big hits for New York in a 5-2 victory over the Twins on Thursday evening for a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five division series.
The Twins haven't won a postseason game since 2004, matching the Philadelphia Phillies (1915-1976) for the second-longest streak in history behind the Boston Red Sox (1986-1995) and their 13 in a row.
Berkman hit a go-ahead home run in the fifth and a tiebreak double in the seventh against Carl Pavano, sending the Twins to their 11th straight postseason loss. Eight of those have come against the Yankees, who trailed in each of those games.
Berkman, vet another big-name veteran finding a place on a Yankees postseason roster, even on the downside of his career, made it 2-1 with his drive into the left-center bullpen in the fifth. His double in the seventh — one pitch after it appeared Pavano sneaked strike three past him — drove in Jorge Posada and gave New York a 3-2 lead.
Derek jeter chased his old teammate Pavano off the mound with a half-swing RBI single to make it 4-2. Curtis Granderson scored New York's first run and came up with three more hits. And the Yankees headed back home for Game 3 on Saturday night, with a commanding lead over the team they own in October.
The disputed call by plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt led to the ejection of Twins manager Ron Gardenhire following Berkman's double.
Pettit retired 12 in a row until Orlando Hudson's homer tied it at 2 in the sixth, but after Delmon Young's two-out triple he escaped with a weak groundout by Jim Thome. Pettit needed only 88 pitches to finish seven innings, with five hits and two runs allowed. He walked one and struck out four.
This was the same matchup on the mound as Game 3 of last year's series, and despite a savvy, poised performance by Pavano, Pettitte was a step ahead.
The old man, as Hudson respectfully referred to him the night before, broke a bunch of bats and was able to escape a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the second by allowing Danny Valencia's only sacrifice fly.
Pettitie spoke the day before about how, while he doesn't change his approach, these October appearances simply feel different to him. As one of the Yankees' famed Core Four, he sure would know. This was his 41st career postseason start and 19th win — both major league records.
After an outstanding first half, Pettite strained his left groin muscle and missed two months until returning for three starts at the end of the regular season. His absence compounded concerns about the rotation, but after winning a so-start by CC Sabathia in Game 1 and getting this vintage effort from Pettitte the Yankees so far don't look as though they'll be affected by any pitching problems.
Pavano walked Posada to start the seventh and thought he had Berkman struck out on a 2-2 pitch that appeared to be a strike, but Berkman sent a long drive to center and Posada raced around the bases.
Gardenhire was steamed, so he lured Wendelsted to the mound during an extended conversation with his players — then got tossed after arguing on his way back.
NBA
Lakers fall to Euroleague champs in preseason game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spanish center Pau Gasol led the Lakers with 24 points but had only one field goal in the second half. His homecoming was spoiled by the Euroleague champion in a game that lived up to the billing of an informal intercontinental showdown.
BARCELONA, Spain Juan Carlos Navarro scored 25 points to help Barcelona beat the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 92-88 in an exhibition on Thursday.
"You always want to win, but it was an emotional game," Gasol said. "The fans enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was spectacular. We lost, but when your friends win you have to be happy for them."
"They played much better in the fourth quarter." Lakers coach Phil Jackson said, ruing his team's turnovers. "We anticipated they would not take a back seat and that they would be very physical. They did a good job doubling Pau in the second half and making him go to the foul line for his points."
The Lakers blew a 12-point advantage in the second half and were outplayed down the stretch after the game was tied at 72 midway through the fourth quarter.
obe Bryant played 25 minutes, compared to six on Monday in a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, as he recovers from knee surgery.
He scored 15 points but went 2 for 15 from the field and missed two 3-pointers with a chance to tie the game with under a minute to play.
Bryant said his knee was feeling
good, but Jackson said his guard played above his fitness level.
With the loss to the Timberwolves, the NBA champions head home with a 0-2 preseason record.
"He is not ready to play. He went out there to show his good-will for the fans and to support his team." Jackson said.
Pete Mickael had 24 points and Terrence Morris chipped in with four 3-pointers for the Euroleague titleholders.
Gasol was the center of attention from the moment he stepped on the court, receiving a constant barrage of camera flashes throughout warmups, and a roaring standing ovation when he addressed the
"It was a wonderful feeling to be so well supported and appreciated after so many years playing abroad, and I am very proud to have been received in this way." Gasol said
crowd before the game.
Barcelona extended its lead to 30-26 in the opening minutes of the second, as the Lakers struggled to score with Gasol on the bench.
Navarro took charge for Barcelona, scoring nine in the first quarter. He assisted Erazem Lorbek for a 3-pointer to tie it at 20, and a free throw by Mickeal gave the home team a one-point lead with 2.07 to play in the first.
The Lakers went right to Gasol from the opening tip. He scored the game's first basket, a baseline jumper, and he notched his 10th point in six minutes to give the Lakers an early 18-12 lead.

"The fans enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was spectacular."
Bryant and Barcelona's stars Ricky Rubio and Navarro also drew huge applause when they were introduced.
Navarro admitted it was not a "pretty" game.
PAU GASOL Lakers center
Neither team played like it was merely an exhibition. Three technical fools were called.
"The first thing you noticed was the crowd," Bryant said. "It was great to see a packed house."
Rookie Devin Ebanks scored four straight points — a layup off a pass by Gasol and two more from the foul line after he rebounded his own free throw miss —

The celebratory atmosphere did not stop the crowd from jeering the referees when they called a technical on Navarro for protesting a foul on Bryant, who converted the three free throws to put the Lakers in front 53-47 early in the third.
A 3-pointer by Mickael put Barcelona ahead 84-78 with under three minutes to go.

weekends or on Monday.
The win against Texas marked Kansas' first conference win of the year, and only the second time in the 15-year history of the lajhawk soccer program that they have knocked off the Longhorns.
Senior forward Kaitlyn Cunningham noticed the importance of getting that first win in conference out of the way.
"That was an extremely big win for us," she said. "It is a big confidence boost. You get the first win under your belt and it's kind of like there's no stopping us now."
Today at 4 p.m. Kansas will play host to defensively sound No.7 Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls rank first in the Big 12 in goals allowed, having only given up seven goals in 14 games played.
"They are tough to score on. Their goalkeeper is very good," he said.
Coach Mark Francis is well aware of the challenge that their defense presents.
Oklahoma State sits atop the Big 12 standings, unbeaten so far through four conference games, two of which were shutouts.
Cunningham said the players have been told about the Oaklahoma State goalkeeper's athleticism, but she expects her team to attack.
"If we can get the ball out wide and get some pretty good service, and get people to actually attack
the ball and be dangerous in those situations, then we can put her under pressure and see what she is really made of," Cunningham said.
Oklahoma State hasn't lost since Aug. 29th, but the 12-1-1 Cowgirls are the type of competition Francis has come to expect in the Big 12.
"Every game in conference is tough. There is no easy game," he said. "Both games this weekend will be tough games."
It won't get any easier as the Jayhawks take on Oklahoma on Sunday to finish out the four game home stretch. Oklahoma is currently tied for second place in the Big 12 with a 2-2 conference record.
Francis said that Oklahoma is more athletic than they were last year, and a lot better over all. This
is evident by their 6-5-1 record, which is just two wins short of their win total from a season ago.
Francis said the lajhwacks need to take advantage of the few home conference games they have left.
to get results," he said. "We have to show up with the same type of focus that we did against [Texas] A&M and against Texas. Anything less than that is not going to be good enough."

Watching won't make you fit
MORNING BREW
My roommate and her boyfriend were arguing about being a sports fan recently. She was giving him a hard time about not knowing much about sports. His response was that he actually does sports, not just watches other people do them.
While I think that's a bit of a cop out (real men know sports), there does seem to be something a little off about sitting inside on a Sunday watching other people perform amazing physical feats while you sit on your butt eating chili dogs and drinking beer.

Not that it isn't my favorite way to spend a Sunday, but it is a little hypocritical for me to yell at a player when he doesn't make a catch when I can't even open the jar of pickles by myself.
We idolize physical fitness in America, but a lot of us aren't exactly all-stars. I used to be able to run a sub-six mile and my daily routine was running for at least half an hour everyday, but now it's a good week if I get three days of exercise.

After the P.E. classes and YMCA basketball practices of our youth end, it just seems really difficult to find the time to work out. Now I have classes and fantasy teams to manage and in two years I'll have work and bills to pay.
I know my health and well-being should be at the forefront and I should make time to work out. I've tried the morning exercise, but when 5 a.m. rolls around it just seems so early. I've tried night exercise, too, but when 10 p.m. rolls around I just seem so tired.

HELSINKI — Brandon Sutter scored twice as the Carolina Hurricanes held on to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in the opening game of the NHL season on Thursday
Anton Babchuk and Jussi Jokinen also scored for the Hurricanes.
Brent Burns scored for Minnesota with 3:21 left, but Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward made a late save to preserve
the win.
Guillaume Latendresse scored for Minnesota 3:33 into the game, but Sutter tied it on a power play with 10 seconds left in the first period.
Babchuk put Carolina in front at 5:58 of the second period on another power play in which coach Paul Maurice lined up three forwards.
"I'll do it again. If the power play struggles, it affects the offense," Maurice said.

The Jayhawks for a Cure match hits close to home for several athletes
BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com
Tomorrow is the lajhawks for a Cure match against No. 10 Iowa State and Catherine Carmichael will be playing for a very personal reason.
Her younger brother is a two-time cancer survivor.
Carmichael
Carmichael said her younger
brother had inspired her with his positive attitude throughout his battle with cancer. He's been diagnosed twice with Hopkins
first in seventh grade and again this past December.
"No matter if it's Jayhawks for a Cure or Breast Cancer Awareness Week, anything that has to do with cancer is very special to me," Carmichael said.
Jayhawks for a Cure is a series of KU sporting events designed to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research.
On Saturday, Centerplate will donate $1 for every soft drink sold and fans wearing pink will receive $3 admission. Last year, Kansas Athletics raised more than $8,000 for Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the University of Kansas Cancer Center.
"All the teams showed a lot of interest, so we organized these events under the name 'Jayhawks for a Cure' so people would recognize the name and the cause," said Chris Lansdell, the director of events and game day experience.
"Lots of people on the team, whether or not they have been touched personally, are happy to participate," Carmichael said, "I think its something everyone loves to do every year."
According to the National Cancer Institute, Kansas is ranked in the second highest bracket for annual cancer incidence rates, with 477.4 to 495.9 cases per 100,000 people.
"Each and every person, whether direct or indirect, has been
---
arrested by cancer" said Karina Garlington a senior outside hitter. "The team looks forward to it. It holds a lot of significance to us."
Garlington
Carmichael isn't the only team member who has been affected by
cancer. Garlington's grandmother is a breast cancer survivor.
"It's been something that my family and me have had to deal with," she said. "I do everything to help and support the cause."
Lauren Hagan, a junior outside hitter, said the team was very excited to give back to the community via Jayhawks for a Cure and to bring about a greater cancer awareness.
Carmichael calls her brother her hero, right behind her mom.
"Seeing him makes me view life differently," she said. "That 1 can
wake up and be healthy and be able to come do something that I love."
Ultimately, a larger-than-life inspiration has made Saturday's game about more than volleyball.
"We're not playing only for our goals, but now for millions and millions of people," Garlington said.

CLUBS
Fencing draws novice and experienced students
BY LAUREN DRUMMOND
editor@kansan.com
Even though fencing is not very well-known in the Midwest, the KU Fencing Club sees new faces every practice.
"We have about 15 members on average," said Alan Ginsberg, a senior from Great Neck, N.Y., and club president said. "We have as old as 28 years old and graduate students and freshmen that come in."
Fencing is not very popular on college campuses, but it's a sport that is very familiar to Ginsberg.
The fencing team practices three times a week for two hours.
"The first 15 to 20 minutes we usually just warm up or we just run. Then for the next 10 minutes we do footwork, because footwork is essential to fencing," Ginsberg said.
"I make sure to arrive at least ten minutes early so I can stretch because we usually don't have time to stretch," Mah said. After warming up and working on footwork, the players have practice matches. After those are over,
What you do before practice can also be important.

"I've been fencing ever since I was about 12 or 13," he said. "We had a family friend who was very into fencing, and I heard about it and how could I not want to play with swords?"

they clean up and get ready to head home.
"I've been playing just a few weeks, maybe a month. I'm really new."
Even though they practice as a team, the sport is mainly based on individuals.
"We compete more on an individual basis in different tournaments," Ginsberg said. He said that the fencing team does not compete in Big 12 play.
"There's actually not a strong division in the Midwest," he said. "it's not like Kansas versus K-State. Different universities and clubs hold tournaments and

Proving coaches wrong isn't easy
1
The coaches' preseason poll that came out this week tabbed Kansas to
Don't think the Jayhawks didn't notice.
Bill Self is a master of finding a way to get teams to play with a chip on their shoulder. Even last year, when everyone from Dick Vitalhe to Barack Obama had the Jayhawks pegged as the national title favorite, players talked about disrespect or getting overlooked.
God only knows how they came up with that, but they did.
This year, the Big 12 coaches provided the Jayhawks with all the fuel they need. All that remains is for them to light the fire.
"I say we've got the best frontcourt in the country," he said. "I honestly believe that and until somebody changes my mind, I won't think different."
Robinson said he's heard the talk that Kansas State might have the best frontcourt in the country. He knows they were picked to finish the Big 12.
Proving the coaches wrong, though, will be no easy task. There's a reason Kansas only got two of the 12 first place votes (one of those from Frank Martin of Kansas State, who couldn't vote for his own team). It's because the Wildcats are a heck of a basketball team this year.
K-State is the team that, on paper, should win the Big 12. If I had a vote, they just might get it. The Wildcats are an Elite Eight team from last year. They lost Denis Clemente and Dominique Sutton but added four-star small forward Nino Williams and junior college transfer Freddy Asprilla along with a pair of other three-star recruits. And Jacob Pullen is still arguably the best guard in the Big 12 — even more so, with Darius Dunn suspended indefinitely.
Of course, Jayhawks sophomore forward Thomas Robinson doesn't think that.
Jamar Samuels was the best sixth man in the league last year and has the versatility to step outside on the wing. Curtis Kelly put up a solid 12 points and six boards per game last year, and Wally Judge showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman. Put that all together, and add Asprilla, and the Wildcats have what some people are calling the best frontcourt in the Big 12.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he has January 29 at Allen Fieldhouse and February 14 at Kansas State circled on the calendar already.
"I can't wait for it," he said, with a smile creasing his face "I'm looking forward to that game a lot, actually."

Jayhawks shave off hair for awareness
BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com
"I'm not scared." Chin said, sitting on the chair. "Do it."
They were about to buzz off Grace Chin's short, black hair.
It was two weeks ago when Chin, a senior from McPherson, was talking about starting a head-shaving event in October, to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
That was when the topic hit home.
"The day I first talked about doing this event, my mom visited me up here and told me they found a cyst in her breast," Chin said. "She's flying back to Korea to get it removed."
Doctors haven't performed a biopsy yet to know if it is malignant or benign, but Chin is now a member of an always growing group - people on campus affected by breast cancer.
Chin and Jac Jewell, a second-year graduate student from Flint, Mich.,
organized a hair-shaving event Saturday in the lobby at Ellsworth Hall, which they were calling "The Bald and the Beautiful" on their filers.
It wasn't supposed to be a big deal. Just some dorm residents coming in, pitching in some money to shave people's heads, and getting to talk to two breast cancer survivors from Lawrence, lewell said.
With students coming in and out of the lobby to watch, six people had their hair buzzed - Chin first and five men after her - while the crowd was joking and laughing.
Before the event, Jewell said he hoped for $50 in proceeds from Ellsworth's spectators. After the event, he said they had raised about $120, which went to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
But Saturday was about much more than the money — it was about the bonding. The survivors

ONGOING INVESTIGATION
House on two-year probation
New details in a report shed light on questions, also add uncertainty
BY GARTH SEARS
y
gsears@kansan.com
PUE SANJU DELTA
The University of Kansas placed the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, more commonly known as FIJI, on two-year probation on Friday for hazing, and the investigation report released to the Kansan is full of new details explaining the circumstances of the incident as well as the extent of the fraternity's repercussions.
THE RESULTS
Based on the investigation, University officials said three forms of hazing may have taken place from August through September.
— Extreme embarrassment or ridicule, through the FIJI Island costumes.
— Personal servitude, by pledges having to clean actives' apartments.
Endangerment to physical health, by "providing a culture where underage drinking was permitted, encouraged, and possibly forced," the report said.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has been placed on a two-year probation for hazing allegations. The investigation began after Matthew Fritzie, a freshman from Stilwell, was injured on Sept. 17 after diving into a temporary pool.
However, during an administrative hearing, University officials determined that only two forms — subjection to ridicule and personal servitude by new members — were substantiated as violations, said Jill Jess, a spokeswoman for University Relations.
"After a thorough investigation, the evidence substantiates that members of Phi Gamma Delta violated the university's hazing policies," said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, in a news release Friday.
No individuals were under investigation for hazing, and no individuals were punished, Jess said. She said it was strictly an investigation into the fraternity as a whole.
But the fraternity itself is investigating individuals.
Bill Martin, the executive director of the national fraternity and its spokesman in this investigation, was out of his office Friday. He hadn't returned an e-mail and his office directed all calls regarding the investigation to him.
"The fraternity believes that the actions of a few members have resulted in these findings," the Kansas chapter of the fraternity said in a statement. "Graduate trustees have been selected to review all actions of the fraternity, continuing the investigation into the findings of the University, and undertaking a membership review to determine which members will be allowed to continue as members."
Chris Neal/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Although every name has been redacted, the report said University officials interviewed the man hurt at the fraternity Sept. 17, who said he was "ordered" to "swan dive into the pool."
THE INVESTIGATION
Matthew Fritzie, a freshman from Stilwell, was lifeflighted from the fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., to the University of Kansas
DEFINITION OF HAZING
"The code defines hazing as any action, activity or situation that recklessly, negligently or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health, welfare or safety of a person; creates excessive fatigue or mental or physical discomfort; exposes a person to extreme embarrassment or ridicule; involves personal servitude; or substantially interferes with the academic requirements or responsibilities of a student."

with alcohol, but that they made him drink it.
According to the report, Fritzie said he was placed in "timeout" in the corner of a second-story room that night, while active members sat at a table in the middle, drinking.
"They tossed beer cans at him and told him to drink," the report said, and he "did not think he could say no."
Besides describing his "timeout" as happening on the same day as the injury, Fritzie also detailed several other allegations that University officials investigated as hazing.
The report stated that several hazing allegations were made,including a "timeout"session for not participating in drinking alcohol.
Fritzie alleged:
Pledges were forced to fill and move heavy sandbags to build the pool in the weeks before the party, sometimes until as late as 2 a.m., and active members
Hospital that night for head trauma after he dove into a temporary pool. The hospital confirmed his presence and also his release Sept. 27.
Fritzie was one of about 30 people affiliated with the fraternity who were interviewed for the report.
- "actives" - would throw sand on pledges while they worked.
He alleged that not only did active members provide him
"Actives would pour beer on a pledge's face, forcing the pledge to drink;" the
report said.
Pledges were required to do two exercises, "wall sits" and "bow and toes," where "pledges were required to balance on their toes and elbows," the report said, and were yelled at for getting tired.
- Pledges had to dress up as a character assigned to them by actives. Some of the wostumes - like "Goth girl"
TIMELINE
Friday, Sept. 17 — Matthew Fritzie was life-flighted to University of Kansas Hospital from the FIJI house. Colleen Drazen, assistant director of Greek life and leadership programs, received a phone call reporting the injury.
Monday, Sept. 20 — The Kansas chapter of FIJI released a statement saying that the fraternity was investigating the incident and that thoughts and prayers were with Fritzie.
Wednesday, Sept. 22 — Marlesa Roney visited Fritzie in the hospital, left her business card with his family, and received a call from an attorney informing her that Fritzie's injury was the result of hazing.
Friday, Sept. 24 The University placed FUJI on interim suspension, pending their hazing investigation. The international fraternity released a statement, saying it also was investigating its Kansas chapter. Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for student success, interviewed Fritzie, with Fritzie's attorneys and a representative of the office of the general counsel present. Tuttle and Lori Reesor, associate vice provost for student success, interviewed the 23 pledges besides Fritzie.
Monday, Sept. 27 — Fritzie released from hospital. Reesor and Tuttle, sometimes together and sometimes alone, interviewed five actives individually.
wednesday, Sept. 29 — The University had a hearing to determine whether FUJI had substantially violated the student code.
and "fairy godmother" - were embarrassing.
Pledges were forced to clean the homes of junior and senior fraternity members.
Among the 23 other pledges besides Fritzie and six active members interviewed, differing accounts of what happened that night arose.
The pledges said that making sandbags and building the pool was hard work, but that it was a joint process that active members helped with and oversaw.
Some of the other pledges were asked if it was required to clean the apartments of actives. Every pledge asked said no. But an unnamed active member admitted that pledges had cleaned his apartment.
One pledge said that only one person dove into the pool, but one of the other active members said others were also diving in from on top of the sandbags, according to the report.
The same active member said new members were supposed to clean houses, and then asked the interviewer whether it was hazing. The interviewer asked him what he thought. He replied, "I suppose it is," the report said.
Many of the pledges were adamant that Fritzie was not forced to jump into the pool.
One member said that Fritzie knew how deep the pool was and that he wasn't hazed. Another two members said he was not told to jump in, the report said.
or
Two active members said they saw Fritzie stand on top of the sandbags and jump in from the back of the pool.
FIJI'S PUNISHMENT
1
The University news release also said FIJI would have to adopt all decisions made by its national office through the graduate trusteeship.
While the fraternity is on probation, it cannot participate in University events such as intramurals and Rock Chalk Revue.
This means that FIJI will be alcohol-free through the 2011 2012 school year and no social events will be allowed on chapter grounds through the spring of 2011.
图
FIJI will be required to shorten its new-member education program to eight weeks and it will be coordinated by the graduate trustees.
Every chapter member will also be required to participate in community service hours.

Tricycle-riding petitioner makes stop at Wescoe Hall
BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com
Tom Weis wants to petition the government for 100 percent renewable energy by 2020. He plans to do it after traveling from Boulder, Colo., to Washington, D.C., on a yellow rocket tricycle. He doesn't stop often, but he did in Lawrence on Friday to talk to an environmental studies class outside Wescoe Hall.
"We only have a little bit of time left to deal with the climate change crisis," Weis said. "2010 is the time to do it. And we can — the technology that we need is here."
Weis left Boulder, where he is
the president of Climate Crisis Solutions, on Sept. 21 and plans to reach Washington by mid-November. He is stopping in small towns along the way to gather support for his cause.
"This isn't about politics." Weis said "it's about our earth."
Weis used to work as a government aide and for political campaigns. He left to make some "real change."
"I've been on the inside." Weis said. "Nothing is getting done."
Weis spoke about his desire to see it take the lead in green technology. He emphasized the use of solar wind and geothermal energy.
His bike is powered both by pedals and an electric motor to help him get over hills. Solar panels power his headlights, blinkers and his iPhone.
"He's thinking of out-of-the-box ways to help the environment," said Johannes Feddema, professor of geography.
Weis asked that any interested persons sign his petition on his website, rideforrenewables.com. He said he will present the petition when he meets with the president.
"What he's doing is really cool," said Neal Fingerhut, a freshman from New York City and a student in the environmental studies class. "It's a great cause."

Idaho man tries to bill Medicaid for rap

The state attorney general's office says 26-year-old Lindsay Nelson billed Medicaid last year
ODD NEWS
Authorities say Nelson billed Idaho Medicaid last year for providing individual counseling services for the two boys.
The agency says Nelson, who works in psychosocial rehabilitation, was sentenced Friday in Idaho's 1st District Court to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to one count of Medicaid provider fraud.

A state investigation later determined that the service Nelson provided consisted of him taking a group to the rap concert in nearby Spokane, Wash.

Elementary schools teach math, science and kindness
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — In Lauren Topazian's fifth-grade classroom, the walls are covered with artifacts of ancient civilizations. But today she is asking her students to put themselves somewhere far less exotic: in their classmates' shoes.
"You can't just assume kids know how to show kindness or resolve conflict," said Principal Mary Tavegia. "You've got to give them the tools as soon as they walk in the door."
The youngsters are acting out scenarios that call for offering friends a little extra support such as when a pal loses an art — contest or is the target of a rumor. The role-playing speaks volumes about the culture at Cossitt School in La Grange, Ill., where thinking about how your behavior affects others is as much a part of the day as reading and math.
In 2004, Illinois became the first state in the nation to require all school districts to teach social and emotional skills as part of their curriculum and daily school life.
That means students are expected to meet certain benchmarks, such as recognizing and managing feelings, building empathy and making responsible decisions.
Weissberg and his colleagues recently completed an analysis of 300 scientific studies and reached two important conclusions: Students enrolled in such programs scored at least 10 percentage points higher on achievement tests than peers who weren't. At the same time, discipline problems were cut in half.
And the touchy-feely stuff doesn't have to come at the expense of intellect. New evidence shows a strong link between interpersonal skills and academics, said Roger Weissberg, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois Chicago, who has studied social and emotional learning for more than 25 years.
"Some teachers may be skeptical about (Social and Emotional Learning) at first, but they are won over when their students learn more, are more engaged and better problem solvers," said

Tavegi's passion for the subject started in the mid-1990s,following a survey that revealed students didn't feel connected to the school, the staff or each other.
"It was a real eye-opener," she admitted. "Here we thought we were living in Mayberry, and discovered that we weren't."
Few schools embrace the philosophy as robustly as Cossitt School, which Weissberg called "a national model."
Weissberg, president of CASEL, the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, based at UIC. The non-profit promotes the benefits of acquiring such abilities, from pre-school to high school.
So she started viewing every minute of the school day as an opportunity to build a foundation that will help students navigate sticky situations that arise in and out of the classroom.

So in science lab, class begins with a discussion not just on molecules, but what makes a good partnership. It ends with students reflecting on how the experiment worked — but also how well they met their social goals. In language arts, the teacher will often go beyond basic comprehension questions about a story, asking students to accept that different characters might view the same incident differently.

Lowering credit-hour requirments has merit
The Legislative Division of Post Audit recently conducted an audit in order to see if the state had too many college students graduating with excess credit hours.
Due to the audit's findings, the
The audit found that there are many advantages in reducing excess credit hours statewide.
Ransas Board of Regents will now make a decision on whether to reduce the minimum graduation credit hour requirement for all six of Kansas' universities.

in Kansas had excess credit hours. At the University of Kansas, it was found that 2,792 students who enrolled in fall 2004 and were still attending in spring of 2009, and 400 of them
had excess credit hours.
The Board of Regents should seriously consider how the higher than average credit hour requirement could negatively affect not only students' wallets, but also student enrollment.
Students may end up having
to remain at school for additional semesters to fulfill their hours, and in order to remain full-time students and qualify for benefits, they may enrol in classes that are not required for their major. Also, the higher minimum may put the University at a competitive enrollment disadvantage and appear less attractive to prospective students.
The audit also provided advantages to several possible strategies officials could put forth to help reduce excess credit hours. An example of one of the best actions would be implementing a fee to students taking beyond their degree requirement or for re-taking of a course. The audit rightfully pointed out that this might generate less tuition on students, make classes smaller and improve graduation rates.
The Board of Regents should choose to lower credit-hour requirements when it goes to vote on Oct.20.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Belief in evolution is good litmus test for public office
Recently I had a conversation with a Tea Partier. Our conversation revolved around the tea party candidate Christine O'Donnell. Among other thoroughly embarrassing quotes that have recently surfaced, I pointed out that O'Donnell once argued that "evolution is a myth because if it were true why don't we observe monkeys evolving into humans today?" I didn't even bother to try and parse the utter stupidity of that statement. Instead I simply argued that quotes like this clearly demonstrate that O'Donnell is unfit for public office at any level.
I however was completely taken aback by my Tea Party interlocutor's response. He candidly replied, "you may be right; she may be an idiot. But by supporting her I effectively get to poke the GOP establishment in the eye. Besides the only thing that matters is she would obstruct anything the Obama and Pelosi try to do." He then went on to regurgitate Glenn Beck talking points and claimed that Obama is a socialist. I replied by asking, "what do you mean by socialism?" He answered, "It means
On several occasions in the past when I've found myself debating creationists I've mentioned things like Behe's irreducible complexity objection only to hear them replay, "wait, what is that?" How can people so ignorant be so certain? Moreover, if I have to make my
he hates capitalism". At this point I couldn't help asking, "but what is the difference between socialism, communism, and marxism?" After a pregnant pause he responded, "It doesn't matter because they are equally flawed theories". But the truth is it does matter -- Obama is not a socialist, he's a Neo-Keynesian. When I pointed this out I was once again taken aback by his reply. He paused and then said he wasn't familiar with Keynesian economics. Suddenly it all came together for me. When it comes to the Tea Party a common theme routinely emerges — they reject theories they clearly don't even understand, and in turn offer nothing but obstructionist pslum. Consider that O'Donnell rejects evolution even though she clearly doesn't understand the basic fundamentals of evolution.
opponent's argument for them, haven't I already won the debate? The truth is none of the antievolution pabluum stands up to peer review. But it's largely the same free market loving Tea Partiers that suddenly want socialized science because their ideas can't compete in the intellectual free market. The Tea Party profits off of this intellectual valandalism.
In conclusion, I submit that one's thoughts on evolution is a perfect litmus test for electability. To borrow a phrase from Dawkins 'history deniers' are not fit for public office. Why? because these people are either a) stupid, b) ignorant, or c) easily manipulated by pablum. And in case you're wondering, my conversation with this Tea Partier ended when I asked him: "Is this what politics has come to? Just support any idiot as long as you they will object to anything the current administration tries to do?" He promptly replied: "hell yes!"

Reworking of franchise destroys magic of series
George Lucas has gone over to the Dark Side. Lucasfilm Ltd.,
announced on Sept. 28 that it would once again re-release the Star Wars movies, this time in 3-D.
Then, in 1999, Lucas released his prequel to the series, "The Phantom Menace." I was ecstatic; my generation's very own Star Wars experiences come to life.
At the time, I actually enjoyed the first prequel. I was young and in awe of what I thought would continue to be a great series. Then I saw the other two prequels, "Revenge of the Sith" and "Attack of the Clones." These movies were downright horrible.
I have seen many other examples of his conversion from light to dark in my lifetime. Star Wars 20th anniversary was in 1997 and the Star Wars Trilogy was re-released in theaters. Because I wasn't around when the series came out, to relive the experience that so many people had when the movies debuted was amazing for me. But I look back now — I look at the cheesy special effects that Lucas added — and I cringe. Whatever, not a big deal.
The prequels were plagued by bad acting. Natalie Portman, who is one of my favorite actors, and Hayden Christensen were just terrible. Unconvincing plot turns like Anakin's high midichlorian count (apparently a life form in the blood that measures aptitude with The Force) left me confused and disappointed.
I bought the re-release of the original trilogy on DVD in 2004. I was so excited to get these movies that I stayed at home and watched them all back to back. I could probably live with the shoddy quality of the prequels, because they don't affect the original trilogy.
But lo and behold, at the very end of the movies, when Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke's recently converted-to-the-light-side father are standing as blue glows, bidding farewell
nically speaking

to Luke, it's not David Prowse (the body actor of Darth Vader), but instead Lucas has inserted Christensen.
His own small cameo in what I consider to be one of the greatest stories ever told. He somehow managed to weasel his way into The Trilogy.
Now, back to the 3-D re-release. I understand why he keeps pushing these movies down our throats. At this point it's not even about the story anymore, but rather about the business aspect of the franchise. Lucas is no longer an artist in the sense that he was in the '70s. He's a businessman.
Did you know that Lucas gets 100 percent of the revenues from licensing of Star Wars products? That was one of his agreements with 20th Century Fox when the movies were being produced. Every time he sets out to change his movies, or re-release them or whatever it is he is doing at the time to gain exposure, his products fly off the shelves. And people will always go see these movies. They're a staple of our cultural mindset.
If I could say one thing to Lucas, I would ask him ever so kindly to please — for Star Wars fans everywhere — stop.
I don't blame Lucas for his business sense — he stands to make a lot of money, and I applaud that. I do blame him for constantly recreating a trilogy that, in my mind, was already perfect.

"Historically, countries with high economic freedom have higher GDPs, lower poverty rates, grow at faster rates, have lower unenployment, are higher developed, and have populations that live longer.
There is no doubt that Socialism is the greatest mistake of the 20th century. Someone who believes it can better the world ignores the failures of the USSR, Maoist China, North Korea, Cuba, East Germany, etc. It's laughable people today still think it can work."
—"Savage" in response to "Students form group for KU socialists" on Oct. 8.
"The reason "defense spending is at a lower percent of GDP than it was during peacetime in the 80s" is because Reagan spent an ungodly amount of money on projects like Star Wars in an attempt to bankrupt the Soviet Union. Keep in mind the Soviet Union was already in decline through years of isolationist strategies - Reagan claiming responsibility for the USSR falling is the equivalent of saying you crossing a black cat's path is the reason you failed a test this morning."

Chavez works on dredging out Potter Lake on KU's campus. The University has decided to dredge the lake of the sediment that has piled on the bottom of the lake in order to restore its depth. The sediment is caused by runoff from surrounding areas that drain into the lake. The project, which was approved last semester and was scheduled to be finished before the beginning of this semester, is now scheduled to be finished by next Friday.
Potter Lake Project works toward removing plant from lake's surface
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
On snowy days during her childhood, Katy Wichman, a senior from Lawrence, and her family used to visit Potter Lake. They sled down the hills and played in the snow. If Potter Lake was frozen enough, she would skate and slide around the edges. Now, Wichman has no plans to spend a day sliding on the ice above the polluted water this winter.
and kill the fauna below its surface. Volunteers for the Potter Lake Project however, don't want the pesky plant to ruin the lake.
The lake's surface is still covered with a small green plant called watermeal, whose dense colonies can consume the water's oxygen
"It's still pretty nasty now," Wichman said. "I would not want to fall into the dirty water."
Although the lake's dredging was finished about two weeks ago, it didn't help the clarity of the water, said Melissa Allen, vice president of the Potter Lake Project. The next step of the project is to help clear the lake of the watermeal. The project's volunteers worked Saturday to remove as much of the plant as possible.
Matthew Nahrstedt, president of the Potter Lake Project, said the only thing the group can do now is
to help beautify the lake with their own hands.
"The bigger goal is awareness," said Nahrstedt, a senior from St. Peters, Mo.
More than 30 students showed up to help with the cause. A few volunteers used rowboats to push the watermeal toward the shoreline with nets and plastic piping while others used pool nets to gather and place the rootless plant in trash bags.
"We are really hoping to make a dent," said Allen, a senior from St. Louis. "It's a start."
Deb Spencer, a Lawrence resident and volunteer, said that even with pool nets and row boats, the volunteers couldn't clean up
the entire lake. Spencer also added that nature played a large role in the cleaning process. It will take a couple of years for the life in the lake to settle and become more balanced.
Marion Paulett, project manager, said this effort was just one more step in a long process of renovating the lake. She said the University's Facilities Operations would place the gathered watermeal into their compost pile for now.
Paulett said she hoped this day would be the start of an annual clean-up day because the lake was important to the University.
"It's an icon," she said.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — A man wearing a "Scream" thriller movie mask tried to hold up a doughnut shop on New York's Long Island.
Nassau County police say the thief walked into a Dunkin' Donuts in Farmingdale just before midnight Tuesday brandishing a silver handgun and demanding money.

SAC seeks support from state and U.S. senators
BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com
WHAT WILL THE KANSAS COMMITMENT INCLUDE?
INCLUDE?
Student leaders from the six Kansas universities are seeking support on a $50 million higher education initiative.
The Students' Advisory Committee to the Board of Regents, which consists of student body presidents from each Regent's institution, sent a letter last week to Republican U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback and Democratic state Sen. Tom Holland. In it, they asked each candidate to publicly endorse the Kansas Commitment, a Regents plan aimed at boosting the state's economy.
"In an environment where tuition and fees are going up, we need to make sure that we're extending a hand to students," Smith said.
- $20.5 million to cover higher education inflation
- $ 15.75 million to restore funding that was cut from building maintenance
If funded, the Commitment would allocate $20.5 million to cover higher education inflation over the past three years, $15.75 million to restore funding that had been cut from building
Michael Wade Smith, KU student body president and chairman of the SAC, said that the plan is much-needed after sustaining $100 million in budget cuts to higher education over the past two years.
maintenance
- $14.15 million to increase graduates in high-demand fields
- $14.15 million to increase graduates in high-demand fields
- $10 million need-based financial aid for middle and low-income state university students
maintenance by the Legislature, and $14.15 million to increase graduates in high-demand fields such as engineering and nursing.
The plan also includes a $10 million need-based financial aid program for middle and low-income state university students that would be partially funded by recouping sales taxes collected on university campuses.
Tyler Thompson, student body president at Fort Hays State and member of the SAC, said the key to Kansas' economic development is to increase educational opportunities for all citizens and reward them for staying in Kansas after they graduate.
"While $50 million seems like a high price tag, the return on investment for the state will be exponentially higher," Thompson
said.
Brownback and Holland are both 2010 candidates for Kansas governor. So far, only Holland has responded in support of the Commitment and greater higher education funding, Smith said.
Both Smith and Thompson believe that the political support of the future governor is significant in getting the Commitment funded and through the Legislature.
"It is our hope that the candidates would use our vision as a cornerstone to their first legislative session if they are elected in November," Thompson said.
The decision for the Kansas Commitment will be voted on in January in the Legislature.

NYC hate-crime suspects arrested
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Eight suspects arrested in connection with the brutal torture of two teenage boys and a man in an anti-gay attack last week were expected in court Sunday to face charges including robbery, assault and unlawful imprisonment as hate crimes.
blocks awav, investigators said.
Police said members of a gang that called the Latin King Goonies heard a rumor that one of their new recruits, a 17-year-old, was gay. They found the teen on Oct. 3 and then stripped, beat and sodomized him with a plunger handle until he confessed to having had sex with a 30-year-old man who lives a few
The group found a second teen they suspected was gay and tortured him, too, police said. Finally, they invited the 30-year-old to the house, telling him they were having a party. When he arrived, they burned, beat and tortured him for hours. The attack included sodomizing him with a miniature baseball bat, police said.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was sickened by the accusations of violence "and saddened by the anti-gay bias." The attacks followed a string of teen suicides around the country last month that were attributed to anti-gav bullying.
A ninth suspect was still at large. A lawyer representing him

The suspects arrested Thursday and Friday were identified as Ildefonzo Mendez, 23; David Rivera, 21; four 17-year-olds, Steven Caraballo, Denis Peitars, Nelson Falu and Bryan Almonte; and Brian Cepeda, 16. All face charges including robbery, assault and unlawful imprisonment.

STUDENT SENATE
Chancellor can't support plan
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
HOW WAS THE AMERICAN COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' CLIMATE COMMITMENT FORMED?
Chancellor Bernadette Gray Little said Friday she would not sign a comprehensive sustainability action plan pushed forward by the student body president and vice president.
The action plan, called the American College and University President's Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), was a central component of KUnited's sustainability platform. It calls for the heads of universities and colleges to commit themselves to a list of wide-ranging sustainability goals.
Gray-Little said the University would be unable to meet all of the commitment's benchmarks within their respective time frames. She said she didn't want to sign an agreement the University couldn't fully commit to.
For purposes of the ACUPCC, climate neutrality is defined as having no net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to be achieved by eliminating net GHG emissions, or by minimizing GHG emissions as much as possible, and using carbon offsets or other measures to mitigate the remaining emissions.
The ACUPCC requires signatories to develop a comprehensive plan aimed at reaching climate neutrality as quickly as possible. It calls for the development of an institutional action plan for becoming climate neutral within two years of signing.
So far 674 universities and colleges have signed onto the ACUPCC, including the three smaller colleges in Kansas.
Despite the apparent defeat, Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said he supported the chancellor's decision. He had initially pressured the chancellor to sign the plan as a means to gain broader administrative support for
ACUPCC
sustainability efforts on campus.
"This was one way to get the administrative buy-in," Smith said. "What she has done though is said, 'We can't realistically commit to this, but I buy in.'"
What the chancellor has bought into is the University's own campus sustainability plan that University officials, students and environmental consultants will begin work on this month.
Though it wasn't their initial plan, Smith and Vice President Megan Ritter said they remained confident in the chancellor's commitment to sustainability.
"In effect we're still fulfilling what we had hoped for," Ritter said. "She's definitely committed to what we wanted, which was helping move KU forward towards a more sustainable campus."
The University's plan would likely draw from some of the ACUPCC guidelines, said Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability. He said it should include steps to integrate sustainability and climate change education into the curriculum. The University has already established a greenhouse gas inventory. The ACUPCC lists both.
Severin said it was important to incorporate sustainability goals into a timeline that fit the structure of the University's plan. In doing so, the University would be better suited to reach those goals. He said many universities and colleges that had signed on to the ACPUCC had a difficult time fulfilling their initial objectives.
"Since we're already working towards these steps, I feel like it's a good idea to take our own approach," Severin said. "I have no doubts that we can meet a lot of the requirements of the actual commitment."
The chancellor did not specify whether she would reconsider signing the ACPUCC at a later date.

Campus buildings may be added to Historic Register
BY KELLY MORGAN

More than 130 years after Walt Whitman described the University as "beautiful as dreams," it is still cited as one of the most charming campuses in the country.
campuses in the country." "People take a lot of pride in this campus," said Brenna Buchanan, president of the student chapter of Historic Mount Oread Friends. "It really contributes to the experience of being a college kid at KU."
Yet the need for larger and more contemporary facilities may be putting the University's traditional charm in danger. This concern is what drove the Historic Mount Oread Friends and the KU administration to create a historic district along Jayhawk Boulevard.
along payhaye Doubout. "The district would ensure that any changes that the University was thinking about making were thought out," jeffery Weinberg, the assistant provost, said.
The proposed district would run from the Chi Omega fountain to the Kansas Union and would include all buildings except Wesco Hall, which has been altered too recently to qualify for the district.
The process began in 2008 when the University received a $130,000
or otherwise.
"Basically, the interim chancelor didn't think it would be appropriate to pursue an historic district if they were not going to be there to see it through." Weinberg said.
grant from the Getty Foundation, a California-based philanthropic organization, but came to a temporary halt because of the retirement of former Chancellor Hemenway.
When Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little was hired, support for the historic district was revived. University officials set the goal of forming a committee by this upcoming January to address the historic district.
Within that time, the committee would work on extensive paperwork and hire an official consultant to verify that the buildings qualify for the National Register of Historical Places. A representative from the Historic Mount Oread Friends said that the group would pay part of the fee to hire a consultant.
"If we start the process by January, it will take about a year or a year and a half to achieve our goal." Weinberg said.
Ken Armitage, president of the Historic Mount Oread Friends, said it would be easier to nominate the buildings of Jayhawk Boulevard
"It's more time efficient," Armitage said.
as a group
Weinberg said the historic district would also come with a 25 percent tax credit that would lower the costs of maintaining campus. According to the National Register of Historical Places website, the University could still make any changes to buildings as long as federal money wasn't involved. The University would be encouraged to discuss the plans with a historic preservation officer in Topeka before making changes to ensure there were no violations.

campus. Darcy Singleton, a freshman from St. Louis, said she thought that a historic district would benefit the University for years to come.
"The campus was definitely a big reason why I decided to come to KU." Singleton said. "I just thought that the old buildings had a lot of character and made campus a really nice place to be."

Cole Aldrich and Mario Chalmers share the court in KC on Friday
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
When Mario Chalmers told the man dubbed "the King" that he would get the larger ovation before the Heat's 103-96 victory at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, he wasn't led. Aldrich, too, got a roar from the crowd louder than James' when he was announced for his first NBA start. The biggest cheer of the day, though, went up when Bill Self, sitting in the first row behind the Heat bench, was shown on the video board.
"I understand how big Kansas basketball is, especially the University of Kansas," said James, who finished with 22 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. "I know Rio and Gole Aldrich and I understand how huge they were in college."
But Kansas City is not his town. Not when he plays with Mario Chalmers. Not when he plays against Cole Aldrich. And not when Bill Self is in the building.
LeBron James is one of the most recognizable people on the planet. He may be the greatest basketball player in the world. He made $42.8 million last year and was the seventh most valuable athlete in the world, according to Forbes Magazine's list of "The World's 50 Top-Earning Athletes."
Aldrich was huge at times for the Thunder Friday, including a monster stuff of all-star power forward Chris Bosh and a steal from James that set the crowd roaring. At others, though, Aldrich looked overwhelmed by the pace of the NBA game — Bosh, who was Aldrich's primary defensive responsibility for the majority of the game, led all scorers with 23 points.
Former Jayhawks Cole Aldrich and Mario Chalmers share a moment before Friday night's tip off between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Aldrich and Chalmers were both members of the 2008 national championship team and are now both playing at the professional level.
"Cole's always around the basket," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He's a tough kid that just keeps battling, keeps playing hard. That's what I like about him and that's what his teammates like."

Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefire hits for a kill Wednesday against No. 10 Iowa State. The Jayhaws defeated the Cyclones 3-1, making it the first time that KU had recorded a victory against a top-10 team.
Senior Melissa Manda had 32 digs in the upset victory
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The volleyball team defeated a top ten opponent for the first time in program history on Saturday, winning a four-setter against the No. 10 Iowa State Cyclones.
"Everything felt really good tonight." Manda said. "Everyone was playing at the highest level I've ever seen them play. It feels really awesome."
Senior defensive specialist Melissa Manda contributed a career-high 32 digs to the effort, matching the record for any player in the Big 12 this season.
Previously, the highest-ranked team that the Jayhawks had defeated was No. 13 Texas A&M on Nov. 20, 2004.
Kansas topped Iowa State 3-1 in front of a crowd dressed as much in pink as in the traditional blue. The match supported efforts to raise cancer research funds as part of the Jayhawks for the Cure campaign, which benefits Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the University of Kansas Cancer Center. Manda said this added even more significance to the

Q-and-A sets high standards for season
SWEET TWIRD DREAMS
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Seeing coach Bill Self and the team taking questions in Allen Fieldhouse yesterday made it clear: Basketball season is here
And at the University of Kansas, there is no better time of year.
About 150 fans gathered in the fieldhouse for a Q-and-A session, followed by an autograph signing. This was the inaugural event, and Self said it went well — even if Allen Fieldhouse was barely at 1 percent capacity.
"We decided to do this a month or so ago to try to get some students over here that maybe don't get a chance to see the guys, to touch the guys," Self said. "I thought it went fine."
The basketball team has yet to get into the groove — it's watched ticket scandals, dealt with conference realignment and the eligibility of freshman Josh Selby's amateur status.
This was a great opportunity for the fans, but perhaps more so for the team. The summer wasn't as calm as anyone from Kansas Athletics would have liked.
That will all change Friday when Late Night in the Phog kicks off the upcoming season
"I'd be nice just to focus on basketball," Self said. "We've had a lot of balls in the air in the last six months."
This wasn't as bad as last year when the team had to make everyone forget about the brawl and the legal troubles.
Now the team is just trying to forget last year's loss and the tumultuous offseason on behalf of the Athletics Department.
"What is a goal that you have for this year's team?" Self asked the audience.
This, after a second-round loss in the NCAA tournament last season.
Someone said to defend the Big 12 title. Another student said it was to win a national championship. The student body basically just challenged the team sitting before them to the highest goal imaginable.
But Coach had the response everyone wanted to hear.
"I agree," Self said. "Those are the two goals."
In order to accomplish these goals, the Jayhawks will most likely need the services of No. 1 recruit Selby. His status is still up in the air on whether or not he will play this season.
Self said Sunday that nothing has been decided by the NCAA, though he is confident things will turn out for the best. He said he respects the time the NCAA is taking to investigate, but Self would love to know the status just as soon as possible, as we all would.
"Josh hasn't done anything wrong," Self said.

Trust your instinct,not rankings
MORNING BREW
For how many people pay attention to them, rankings are garbage. Perfect example came this past weekend: No.1 Alabama,a team returning 11 starters on both sides of the ball for the defending BCS champs, drops their first game of the season to No.19 South Carolina Truth be told, the Crimson Tide lost 35-21, with their only lead coming in the first quarter.
Alabama, coming into this season with defending Heisman Trophy Mark Ingram, simply was dominated on both sides of the ball against the Steve Spurrier-led Gamecocks. Nick Saban, who came into the game to best by most ESPN pundits as the coach of the best in the nation, got worked Which leads me to one logical conclusion: Rankings mean absolutely nothing
Kansas fans are well aware of such facts. While they weren't ranked, the heavy favorite Jayhawks lost to a FCS school, only to beat a nationally-ranked Georgia Tech squad the next week.

human factor in such polls. The players alone are enough reason to discourage trust; each and every game is affected by the inches of the plays missed and made by teenagers and young men alike. Not only that, but the sportswriters, experts and others decide the list produced every Monday that decides who is number one. Isn't that enough human involvement to persuade people not to place trust in rankings?
Same goes for the professionals. One bad game for a player, coach or referee could spell the difference between covering a spread and being out $100 on a bet. And placing all your eggs in a fantasy football expert's basket could leave you begging for answers at the end of

the week.
What am I saying, exactly? Put trust in the gut. If you think that 2-4 team will bounce back against a nationally-ranked SEC opponent, make that bet. If you think your fantasy team would be better served with your backup QB with a favorable matchup in the lineup, do it. Don't put so much stock in the experts; they do get paid, but I really don't know why.

KU dominates Oklahoma race

The women's rowing team traveled to Oklahoma last week end to compete in the two-day Head of Oklahoma competition in Oklahoma City. It competed against several Oklahoma teams, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma and Iowa.
On Saturday, the women participated in the collegiate eight, four and further singles and pairs races. In the collegiate four, the KU team took second, completing the 500-meter race in 1 minute 52.3 seconds. It was only

Colts break Chiefs' winning streak, no NFL team goes 4-0
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Hart still has some of those old Michigan moves in his back pocket.
The Colts (3-2) won in atypical fashion. For the first time this season, Peyton Manning failed to top 300 yards or throw for a touchdown. He finished 26-of-44 for 244 yards with one interception and couldn't get the Colts into the end zone until Hart's win-clinching score with 4:02 to go.
Addai left midway through the third quarter with what appeared to be a right shoulder injury. He did not return.
With an overpowering 11-yard touchdown run on the last of his career-high 11 carries, the third-year running back scored in relief of the injured Joseph Addai to give Indianapolis a 19-9 victory over previously unbeaten Kansas City.
It's the first time since 1970 that no NFL team reached 4-0.
Kansas City (3-1) never did get in the end zone.
Jamaal Charles carried 16 times for 87 yards, and Matt Cassel was 16-of-29 for 156 yards. The Chiefs had to settle for three field goals and lost a chance for a miracle
fourth straight time against one of the league's highest-scoring offenses by forcing the Colts to settle for four field goals before Hart finally punched it in.
This is the first time since 1970 that no NFL team has reached 4-0. For the first time this season, Peyton Manning didn't throw for a touchdown.
Nine plays later, Adam Vinatieri hit a 20-vard field goal.
Indy, meanwhile, was trying to show it could stop the run and keep foes out of the end zone. The Colts succeeded on one front — limiting the Chiefs to three field goals and no TDs. But Kansas City still ran 27 times for 113 vards.
But this was all about the defenses, which played like they had something to prove.

On the next series, Haley went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Indy 8 and Cassel's pass fell incomplete.

Jayhawks fall in upsets to Oklahoma and OK State
with a 47-yarder, Succop hit from 35 and 43 yards out, the second after Manning's interception, to tie the score 9-9 late in the third quarter.
"We made a mistake and allowed a goal, so at that point we have to be kind of creative and take some chances," coach Mark Francis said.
BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com
After that goal, Kansas had to try to respond.
Kansas looked to ride the momentum from beating Texas into this weekend's play, but they weren't able to do so. They fell to No. 7 Oklahoma State 2-0 on Friday and lost at the hands of Oklahoma on Sunday 3-1.
It was taking those chances that allowed Megan Marchesano
On Friday the Jayhawks were engaged in a defensive battle. At halftime, the scoreboard was filled with goose eggs, as both teams weren't able to break past the others' defense. It wasn't until the 60th minute of the second half that Oklahoma State was able to break the scorele action. OSU's Kristen Kelley was able to intercept a blocked shot and put it in the back of the net.
From then,
it was essentially a stalemate. Succop hit a 45-yard goal with 2 seconds left in the first hall to make it 6-3.
Manning took advantage, setting up Vinatieri for a 24-yard field goal that made it 6-0 less than five minutes into the game.

through which they were 1-2. Nonetheless, Francis felt that his team had played well throughout that stretch.
"Second half we knew it was dire. We played way better," Noble said. "I wish we could do that the whole game."
CAITLIN NOBLE Senior midfielder and forward
On Sunday Kansas started off the game with a sour taste in its mouth. Oklahoma's Whitney Palmer, who came into the game with a team high five goals, played the ball off of the kickoff and shot from 20 yards out over the outstretched arms of Kansas' sophomore goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau to give Oklahoma a 1-0 advantage, only 11 seconds into the game. This was the fastest goal ever allowed by a KU team.
"In the last three games we've been a little more consistent; obviously we haven't really gotten the results, but the girls are playing hard," Francis said. "They're playing a lot better and a lot more consistent than we have been, so that's a positive."
Sophomore Whitney Berry, freshman Madi Hillis, and junior Emily Cressy all registered a shot on goal for the Jayhawks. The 2-0 loss marked the third game of conference play that Kansas has been shut out.

Oklahoma would add another goal in the 66th minute off of a rebounded shot.
Kansas outshot Oklahoma 13-7 in the second half. Kansas also had nine shots on goal, to Oklahoma's five.
Francis said his team needs to take advantage of the chances they get.
"We have got to finish the opportunities that we've got," Francis said. "(Oklahoma) had three goals, and they maybe had five good chances today. The goal we scored wasn't even a good chance, (Caitlin) Noble just hit it well. We probably had six other chances from in or around the box where we hit it right at the keeper or we hit it wide."
"We put ourselves in a much more challenging position, to have to go away and travel and have to win," Noble said. "We've dug our hole and now we have to climb out of it."
Noble realizes the challenge that the lavhwacks have before them.
Kansas has four Big 12 games left, only one of which is at home.

Jayhawks go 3-1 at Invitational
KANSAI
Freshman utility player Kendra Cullum places a sacrifice bunt during the 4th inning to advance the runner in the game against Washburn on Satur-
day afternoon. The Jayhawks lost 2-1 to the Ichabods. Kansas finished the Invitational with a 3-1 record.
BY HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
Over the weekend, the Kansas softball team finished the Jayhawk Invitational 3-1, losing only to Washburn, 1-2. The Hawks runruled in games against Butler County Community College, 8-0; Labette Community College, 8-0; and Seminole State Community College, 16-0.
The Saturday games against Seminole State and Washburn were cut short because of time constraints. The Sunday games against Butler and Labette were each played to six innings and called after the run-rule.
The Jayhawk offense was a commanding force during their 8-0 victory over Labette. Cheers of "Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU Beak 'Emt' resounded after each player rounded their way into home throughout the night. The team appeared to be swinging for the fences. Sophomore shortstop Mariah Montgomery and senior catcher Brittany Hile both hit home runs to assist in the victory over Labette.
"I was kind of struggling the whole weekend and then to just keep at it and keep at it and finish up the tournament with a home run, it just gives me a good feeling to work off of until February comes with our next game." Hile said.
The team regained its confidence after the loss to Washburn. Junior third baseman Marissa Ingle and freshman second baseman Ashley Newman displayed their on-field chemistry numerous times during the night. Ingle swiftly fielded Cardinal buns and catapulted the ball across the infield to Newman who was ready to receive the ball and tag out the runner.
"Everyone on the team has really good chemistry," Newman said. "We all get along really well."
Ingle explained that after a poor defensive performance on Saturday against Washburn, making connections in the game
against Labette was important to her.
"So the high point today was just coming back to make the plays that I know I can make and just having my team really support me the whole way through," Ingle said.
Hile said she believed the team always needed to communicate to be successful.
"We have a lot of people this year who stepped up this year and are talking all the time," Hile said. "It kind of feeds on everybody. When one person starts talking
then another person wants to start too."
A common theme for the few weeks of fall ball was looking forward to the beginning of regular season in February. The team is looking forward to match ups against fellow Big 12 teams such as Missouri and Nebraska. Coach Megan Smith said the team has a couple things to clean up before the real season.
"We are going to work on fine tuning," Smith said. "A lot of big picture things we did well we need to work on the little things and

Unsung hero's best game so far
the big 12 this year.
"Everyone played at the highest level I've seen as a team," Manda said. "It feels really awesome; our blockers did a great job so it made it easy to pick it up."
"We need to find that consistent level again, whether it's three games or five games not to fall behind and go up and down," Kaiser said.
One of the blockers, senior Jenna Kaiser, is gaining confidence and ground in game
She had a career-high game with two service aces, one that closed out set two. This is Melissa Manda, a Big 12 record holder, in game seven against No. 10 Iowa State.
The senior defensive specialist had her best game of the year on Saturday. With 32 digs, she is tied for the most single-game digs in the Big 12 this year.
Coming off of the team's worst loss against Texas Tech, the Jayhawks knew they had to change their pace and come out with a win at home. Manda said the team was stuck in a five-match game streak and was looking forward to trying and winning this one in four.
"We've been playing well at home, and in practice we've been working on picking up the little things personally," Manda said. "Consistency was what we needed."

"Everything felt really good tonight," Manda said. "Everyone played at the highest level I've seen as a team."
"Looking back and seeing the ball is up was like 'Whoa okay, we can do this', Tolefree said, "Her digging and getting to balls we haven't been getting to was just the extra effort we needed to get to a different level."
The rhythm found in game seven needs to travel with the team to Baylor.
"She has such a heavy arm, sophomore Tayler Tolefree said, "Watching her warm-up is like 'Wow, she can swing fast and it's hard,' I wouldn't want to dig her"
The team noticed Mandas effort in game play, and it gave them confidence.
With 12 kills and 34 attacks Kaiser has habituated the swing in the warm-up of game five of conference play against Missouri, coach Ray Bechard said he noticed.
The first time the Jayhawks have beat a top 10 team and a career-high game is a big high to take into game eight.
play. Accruing more game time starting with the game against Missouri, Kaiser had some of the most noticeably strong blocks and kills that helped the flow of the game — and in turn helped Manda keep her intensity.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City has not had a basketball team since the Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985, but on Friday night, the Sprint Center hosted some of the biggest names in the NBA, including two local fan favorites.
The Miami Heat hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Sprint Center's only NBA game of the year.
The fans were buzzing before the opening tipoff when the starting lineups were announced.
Thunder forward Kevin Durant received a nice ovation, but it was center Cole Aldrich who had the crowd on its feet.
The Heat, however, received the loudest cheers.
Forward LeBron James, the NBA's reigning MVP was the loudest until guard Mario Chalmers' name was announced.
Before the game, Chalmers told reporters that he was going to get a louder ovation than James.
The game was played in front of
a sold-out crowd of 18,222.
Forward Chris Bosh, who Miami signed in addition to James this offseason, said the fans' passion was pretty good.
"I'm sure Kansas City would love to have an NBA team," Bosh said. "This is a very nice arena to not have many games played here throughout the year."
James enjoyed playing in front of the crowd as well.
"It's always fun coming into cities where there isn't an NBA team, and they get an opportunity to see us live," James said.
Miami defeated Oklahoma City 103-96.

DEATHS
Two students die in head-on collision on K-32
BY ALLYSON SHAW
ashaw@kansan.com
Two KU students died in a car accident Sunday at 8:48 p.m.
Stephanie Marie Conn, a senior from Bonner Springs, and Daniel "Jake" Henry, a senior from Edwardsville, were the two students killed in that crash. Michaela Mortensen, a senior from Bonner Springs, said the two students had been dating since 2003. Mortensen said she had known the couple

since high school.
VINCENT MILLER
Two cars were headed east on K-32 in Leavenworth County when one car tried to pass another, said Nikki Miles of the Kansas
Highway Patrol office. The passing car crossed into the westbound lane and collided head-on with Conn and Henry's car. Matthew Nuzik, a 30-year-old from Basehor, was driving that car and also died in the crash.
Miles said the patrol currently believed neither drugs nor alcohol were involved in the accident. The vehicle Nuzik was passing sustained some minor damage, but no one in that car was hurt.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray
Little released a statement about the accident.
"The loss of two bright young people is always tragic," Gray-Little said. "Our hearts go out to the families and friends of Stephanie Conn and Jake Henry. On behalf of the entire KU community, I send deepest condolences."

Campus elevators in decline

Low budgets prevent repairs to KU elevators
BY ANN WILSON editor@kansan.com
Any time she entered the Wescoe Hall elevators last spring, Allison Dillmon would always make sure she had one of two things.
"I always made a friend ride with me or made sure I had my cell phone in case I did get stuck and needed to call for help," said Dillmon, a junior from Andover.
Dillmon, who was on crutches for an entire semester because of a broken ankle, worried about getting trapped inside one of the elevators.
At the beginning of the semester, signs in the Wescoe elevators warned students of the potential of getting stuck and provided a number for trapped riders to call. The elevators are still in need of major repair.
Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations Management Information, said the department started requesting funding for an elevator renovation project last fall. But, he said, the project was delayed because of a lack of funds in the budget.
The Wescoe elevator controls are more than 30 years old and will cost nearly $73,000 to renovate, he said. Facilities Operations spends $240,000 each year on elevator maintenance, plus an average of $21,000 per year on billable repairs from its operating budget, Green said.
The elevators in Wescoe Hall are one of the four jobs that were approved for total replacement by the University Design & Construction Management, which is primarily funded by the state of Kansas. Since 2008, DCM has supplied more than $1 million for elevator upgrades and modernizations. Various campus departments, including the Parking and Transit and Athletics departments, provide additional funding. Over the past three years, they have contributed more than $180,00 to elevator repairs.
Green said the elevator company, Dynatron Elevator Inc., is required to have a mechanic on campus 40 hours per week. If someone becomes trapped, Dynatron is on call regardless of time of day, weekend or holiday.
"We can have as many calls as three in one day or go an entire month without one. It's not a set
Even though the elevator restoration project is underway, it's still not clear when the project will be completed. Green said he hopes to have the Wescoe Hall elevators replaced by the end of the semester.
pattern," said Allen Williams, elevator constructor mechanic.
Now that Dillmon's off her crutches, she said she had changed
"I'm thankful I don't have to use crutches anymore, but glad to hear that there are plans to replace the elevators for those that do need to use them," she said.
her elevator habits. Now, she said she hikes the stairs in Wescoe to avoid using the elevators at all.

Dyche Hall upgrades funded by two grants
BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com
Two separate grants from the National Science Foundation and the University will help renovate Dyche Hall, home to the Kansas Biodiversity Institute.
Dyche Hall is 107 years old. It will look traditional on the outside, but be state-of-the-art on the inside, said Leonard Kristalka, director of the institute.
The National Science Foundation awarded the Biodiversity Institute a $1.5 million federal stimulus grant at the end of September.
The Biodiversity Institute consists of 120 scientists and graduate students who study species and ecosystems of the world.
After renovations, the institute will be able to clone the ancient DNA of plants, animals or insects to compare genetic changes from centuries ago, Krishtalka said.
The cloning lab is only part of the renovation and upgrades; some other laboratories will also be renovated. Together, the additions and renovations will allow the institute to train graduate students in more modern laboratories, Kristalka said.
"This is a terrific shot in the arm for helping us leapfrog from a 19th century facility to a 21st century facility," said Krishtalka.
Another addition to Dyche Hall will be a cryogenic or freezing lab capable of storing 320,000 tissue specimens. Right now, tissues are stored in ultracold freezers. But Krishtalka said these freezers could fail because of power outages or air compressor malfunctions. The cryogenic lab will be more efficient and reliable, he said.
Krishtalka said money for repairs and renovations is often the hardest to get. Funding agencies typically award grants for basic or applied research.
"They usually won't fund bricks and mortar," he said.
But the grant is for renovation and repair. It's from the Academic Research Infrastructure: Repair and Renovation section of the American Recovery and
DYCHE HALL
RENOVATION
PLANS
Updating the Genomics Complex used for sequencing genetic material, including ancient DNA cloning capabilities Building a cryogenic laboratory capable of preserving up to 320,000 specimens
Installing a new laboratory for analyzing biotic and morphological aspects of organisms
Installing a Geographic Information System lab than can help forecast the spread of diseases or how climate change affects endangered animals
Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Rafe Brown, assistant curator of amphibians and reptiles in the Biodiversity Institute, said he was looking forward to the new direction his research and his students' research could go. He said the new infrastructure would allow them to move quickly when trends in science change in the future.
Charles Linkem, a graduate student of herpetology from Truckee, Calif., agreed with Brown. He said he thought the lab improvements would allow students to stay on the cutting edge of molecular research.
The University is also providing $1.3 million as part of a separate project to upgrade the cyber infrastructure in Dyche Hall. A four-fold larger server room will be built. Kristalka said this would allow the institute to more efficiently offer biodiversity data to the world.
Planning for the renovations will begin in November. Construction is expected to be completed by 2013.

WAUSAU, Wis. — A Wausau resident rescued and arrested a drunken man who plunged into the Wisconsin River while chasing a one-legged goose. The 40-year-old Wausau man told officers he
wanted to catch the bird and roast it. He said he took off his shirt and shoes Thursday afternoon and jumped into the frigid water.
Authorities said he was overcome by the cold water and had to be rescued by firefighters. Police said the man had been drinking heavily before the stunt.
The man was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Police told the Wausau Daily Herald that as far as they know, the goose is still on the loose.

Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said Jimmy McCoy allegedly jumped into the ambulance and drove off with the emergency lights on.
Paramedics then radioed that their ambulance had been stolen with them inside.
Prosecutors said McCoy seemed to think he was driving his diabetic friend to the hospital.

Robert Day stands with his horse Bandito Doc. Day will be visiting campus today to speak about his latest memoir, describing a journey he made as a KU student to New York City.
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
In the 1960s, when there were only 9,000 students at the University, students would congregate in old Fraser Hall instead of on Wescose Beach. There, surrounded by the busts of philosophers carved in stone, students were eager for adventure.
As an undergraduate student at this time, Robert Day would sit with his friends at The Old Gaslight Tavern next to the Kansas Union, drinking beers, reading and planning trips.
Today, at the Spencer Museum of Art, Day will be speaking about his latest memoir: the journey of a KU student traveling to New York to visit the oldest bar in America.
His memoir is titled "Bar Art: John Sloan's McSorley's Ale House Paintings, a Vargas Girl behind the Bar at Ruby Red's in New Orleans. The Luncheon of the Boating Parly on the Kansas Prairie, and Manet's Folies-Bergere in the Old Gaslight Tavern — plus e.e. cummings, Bob Dylan, and Joseph Mitchell: A Travel Memoir with Pictures."
Day's talk will cover the collection of stories from his trip and will include paintings by John Sloan that are discussed in many of his stories.
Day knew that despite the long title of his memoir, there would be one way to attract students. "I figured students like bars," he said. "So they'll come to a talk with the word bar in it."
His tale began when he was reading E.F. Cummings' "Sampson."

Before publishing his novel "The Last Cattle Drive," Day spent his days at the University studying English. However, he said, being a writer is completely different than being an English major.
"There were days when I was a terrible English student," Day said.
When he began writing, Day would sit down and copy, word for word, works from jack London and others to see how they put together paragraphs and created a story. While writing as an undergraduate, Day was presented with the opportunity to start a literary magazine here at the University.
Day and a few of his friend start

"If I were a student I would still go to the oldest bar in America, just to see it."

While living in Greenwich Village, New York, for a short time, Day said he met many of the icons from the '60s, including possibly Bob Dylan — but he's still not quite
ed Cottonwood, a literary magazine for undergraduates, in 1965. The magazine has lasted 45 years and is still a nationally distributed magazine. It has included the works of Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Dav himself.
Professor Phil
Professor Phil Wedge, the poetry editor of the magazine, said most magazines start the way Cottonwood did, but its success is extraordinary.
"I can't think of another literary magazine in Kansas that has lasted this long," Wedge said.
V'edge, who actually studied under Day in a writing workshop
here at the University, said although Cottonwood still publishes an occasional work of an undergraduate student, it now mostly publishes recognized authors and artists.
Despite being controlled more by the institution rather than by students, Cottonwood was born from the hands of a student wanting to write and be published.
Cody Charles, Residence Life coordinator and co-founder of The Little Magazine, had an idea similar to Day's two years ago. With his friend Jay Vaglio, Charles stared a magazine just for residence hall students and faculty. Run by both students and administrators. The Little Magazine is designed to give students who would never think of having the opportunity to publish something that chance.
"I noticed that there were a lot of students that used art as a hobby, whether that was writing poetry, or drawing or designing graphics,"
Charles said.
Charles said he wanted to give those students a forum to get their work out.
— Edited by Roshni Oommen
Day said students today should do what he himself did: start a magazine and go travel.
Having grown up in Kansas, Day wrote about what he knew best: his home state. He said he couldn't write about California or Alaska like Jack London was doing, but he could write about what he knew. But nothing held him back from traveling to places he read about in the books by the authors that shaped him as a writer.
"If I were a student, I would still go to the oldest bar in America, just to see it," Day said.

Study: Americans have bad text habits
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — Next time your significant other reads a text message while sitting with you at a restaurant, tell him he's rude. And tell him he's like a typical American.
Those statements would likely be true, given the results of a recent Marquee University study that compared the texting habits of cell phone users in the world's two largest democracies.
the U.S. and India.
In monitoring text messages from 137 college students in both countries, the study showed that India appeared to have better "textiquette." Researchers found that 52 percent of the Americans in the study read text messages while in public social settings such as restaurants, shops and movie theaters, compared to only 5 percent of Indian participants who read texts while out. Most Indians (41 percent) read texts
while at home or at a friend's home.
Americans were also seven times more likely than Indians to send texts from social settings (42 percent vs. 6 percent); and almost eight times as likely to text while in the middle of a conversation (31 percent vs. 4 percent).
Still, Robert Shuter, the Marquette communication studies professor who led the study, cautioned not to be too down on American texters.
"The truth is, neither Indians nor Americans excused themselves or took leave when they read or sent a message. They're both at fault," he said, adding that the point of the study was to emphasize how different cultural factors must be considered when developing universal texting rules.
Maybe he's right. Indians did rudely rank 10 percentage points higher than Americans in using swear words in texts.

Sky diver rescued after hours in tree
DUNSTABLE, Mass. — A skydiver stuck in a tree in Dunstable, Mass., for about two hours has been rescued and taken to a hospital as a precaution.
Kim Whorton, a staff member at Skydive Pepperell, says the man affiliated with the club does not appear to be hurt.
Chief instructor Carolyn Goldman says the man came
down in a wooded area about 11 a.m. Monday and was stuck 40 to 50 feet up. Goldman says the man was talking to rescue workers.
She says the man is "relatively inexperienced" but it was not his first jump. She did not disclose his name.
Goldman, who has nearly 20 years experience, says she can only remember a couple other times when a skydiver from the jump school about 30 miles northwest of Boston has been stuck in a tree.

'Deadliest Catch's stars sign new contracts
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Look out,
Dutch Harbor, the captains are
coming, and "Deadliest Catch"
fans had a lot to do with it.
The behind-the-scenes drama on the docu-series that follows fishing vessels in the Bering Sea during crab season is over. Even though Discovery announced last week that Capts, Sig Hansen and Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand would not return for the seventh season, the network now is saying that all three men will be part of the high-seas series which begins filming in Dutch Harbor next week.
"We're happy we worked everything out with Discovery," Hansen said in a statement. "A deal's a deal. We're heading up to Dutch Harbor to start filming the new season of 'Deadliest Catch' and hopefully it will be the best one yet."
Hansen had threatened to drop out of the hit series after Discovery sued the Hillstrand brothers for $3 million, claiming they didn't perform their contracted duties on a spinoff. The fishermen brothers responded by quitting "Deadliest Catch," and Hansen said he would leave, too.

Low-budget film has high promise
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — Edward Burns filmed scenes for his upcoming low-budget indie flick "Nice Guy Johnny" at his parents' and sister's houses and borrowed the cars in the film from friends and family. Except for an old convertible that's his. Cast members including Matt Bush, known more for his role in AT&T roll-over minutes commercials than his film work, were asked to apply their own makeup.
Why all the corner cutting?
"The minute someone writes you a check, there's artistic compromise," said Burns, the film's writer and director, sitting somewhat ironically in his oversize Chicago hotel suite last month. "You're not able to cast the people you want to cast. They're offering and sometimes making changes they feel the film needs. That's
frustrating.
"On a low-budget film, there are also compromises. You need to find free locations to film. There are no special effects. Nobody is going to look at your film and say, 'Wow, that's a cool shot.' You have to be OK with telling smaller character stories."
Burns said the film had a threeman crew and was shot in10 days on a $25,000 budget.
That's also how much he said 1995's "The Brothers McMullen" cost him to make (the final budget of nearly $500,000 was the result of additional funding pumped in by Fox Searchlight for revised editing and a new score).
The difference is that he was a production assistant earning $18,000 a year when he made "Brothers."
Darling, remind me to thank the girl that invented those game day dresses.
"Brothers" went on to earn more than $10 million at the domestic box office and launched a career for Burns that included writing, directing and starring in 1996's "She's the One" and roles in "Saving Private Ryan," NBC's "Will & Grace" and HBO's "Entrance."
Rather than the typical theaterfirst route, Burns is taking an unconventional approach and releasing the film Oct. 26 on Netflix, iTunes, PlayStation 3, video on demand and Amazon.com.
"When people hear about the film, we want them to grab their remotes and say, 'OK, got it,' " he said.

Chancellor's newsroom visit welcome, successful
I was proud to learn the University's top administrator is proud of The University Daily Kansan.
"I think we have a good paper." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said after I asked her thoughts on student-run media.
Gray-Little visited our new (as of this summer) multimedia newsroom in the Dole Human Development Center for an informal question-and-answer session Friday afternoon. To my delight, she asked us as many questions as we asked her.
She asked us for a tour and an explanation of our on-going, not-always-flawless-but-greatly-improving process of blending broadcast, print and online. She met our advisers and heard about the daily cycle of work we put into the media serving this campus.
I greatly appreciated her interest in our pursuits as journalism students through our work in this newsroom. I appreciated even more her openness to allow us to ask her questions.

GUEST COLUMN
Is centrism the new radicalism?
The military could become the biggest funder of Green Technology in America. The military is requesting bids for additional battle-tested renewable energy research.
On Oct. 4, the New York Times reported that the military, concerned by its dependence on foreign oil, is going to be deploying a unit of Marines who will survive on renewable technology. They plan to use solar-chargers for the communications equipment; solar-shaded tents to provide shade and electricity; and energy-conserving light bulbs.
The reason this news is so fascinating is because it is ironic: The military, usually associated with conservative Republican values, is hell-bent on using green energy, the symbol of liberal Democratic progressivism, to wage its wars more efficiently.
Perhaps there is a solution: Synthesize both Republican and Democratic ideas. Instead of yelling at each other, maybe we could sit down and calmly discuss how the military could secretly subsidize the entire environmentalist cause of renewable energy. That way the
This all speaks to a larger issue that America faces today: neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have any good ideas anymore. We see the stress this is causing our country in the polarization of politics that we are witnessing today.
The message:"Republican" entities can fund "Democratic initiatives. And, equally,"liberal" ideas can make "conservative" ones work better.
It was a question that a lot of moderate Republicans—the kind who don't understand how the Republican Party, the party of small government, personal liberty, and self-reliance, became the party of Big Government Conservatives, the Patriot Act and Medicare Part D—are asking themselves these days.
The military is not the only organization catching on to this idea. It is everywhere. Last week Thursday, at a Spark M. Matsunaga Center for Peace Studies panel discussion on torture at the William S. Richardson School of Law, Col. Larry Wilkerson, a former Colin Powell aide and fierce critic of the Bush Administration's Enhanced Interrogation policy (he called it torture) was asked this simple question:
Republicans will not get angry that we are subsidizing the renewable energy industry and the Democrats will not get angry that we are spending too much on the military.
"Why be a Republican at all? Why not just be a Democrat?"
"There isn't a whisper of difference between the basic domestic and foreign policies of the presidents of either party for the last 60 years. I don't think it matters anymore that you're democratic or republican, because neither really has, or seems to have the answers, or if they have the answers, the courage to execute...
And Wilkerson had an answer.
"There's a radical thought that the center is now radical. In fact there are a couple of think tanks in Washington that claim the radical center, because that is the radical
thing to do these days; not be Rush Limbaugh and not be Nancy Pelosi," said Wilkerson.
One week later I attended a talk on immigration put on by the Federalist Society at the WSRSL. The speaker, Dr. James Jay Carafano, identified himself as an independent and he worked for the Heritage Foundation, which is the official Conservative Think Tank of Washington, D.C.
I expected the speaker to be a radical, ranting conservative yelling about Mexicans taking their jobs and securing the border. What he turned out to be was a perfectly sensible independent who said that "securing the border" never works and that we really need to secure the Mexican economy if we want to reduce the amount of Mexican immigration to the United States.
Is it possible that centrism could be the new radicalism? Would the center be radical enough to suggest that the Military use Green Technology to more efficiently fight its wars? Would it be centrist to suggest that Teacher's Unions are actually hindering education reform all across the country? Could it be centrist to suggest that immigration is a more complex problem than just installing a border fence?
The time has come for a new wave in politics. Maybe it will be called the Radical Center. Whatever it's called, I hope it's smart enough to give our troops machines that can convert readily available plant life (read 'poppy seeds') into bio-fuels.

FASHION
Even established style rules should be broken
Fashion designers are constantly breaking
Fashion designers are constantly breaking established fashion rules to be unique and make a statement. Some fashion faux pas should never be broken, but bending some of these historical rules and taking style risks creates an opportunity for you to have fun with your wardrobe.
Rule: Don't mix patterns
irns rule is no longer stricty enforced, but it's still valuable. Pure white clothing looks out of place with the warm oranges and reds of fall or stark grays of winter. Wear white sparingly in months with dreary weather, or choose an off-white or cream to compliment dark seasonal tones. Certain seasonal pieces can look stunning in the cooler months, such as white fur accessories or a white scarf and mittens. If the piece's style fits the season, it will work in white.
Wearing multiple articles of clothing with different prints at the same time is difficult to make chic, but it is achievable. If the differences aren't too extreme, and you can find a unifying element, they can work together. The fashion magazine Harper's Bazar suggests two patterns that work well together are floral and ikat.
Rule: No white after Labor Day
"The trick here is to make sure the contrasting patterns are complementary in color," the magazine said on its website. "So if the floral is navy and pink, the ikat should be too. If the colors are too divergent, the look will turn to the chaotic."
Rule: Undergarments should be invisible
This is a rule to stand by. One day while walking up the stairs in Strong Hall, a student in front of me was sagging. Needless to say, I did not appreciate his underwear in my face. "Sagging," or wearing your pants low enough for people to see your undergarments, has
The Hemline

been out for a while and is just obnoxious.
Some people may enjoy getting a sneak peak of what's going on under your clothes; visible pant lines and thongs peeking above your waistline are cute, but there is a line. Wearing a vibrantly colored bra under a light colored shirt is tacky, not sexy. A current trend is wearing a lace or sheer shirt over a solid, dark colored bra. As long as you're wearing a bra that fits well, this look is fine for going out, but that's the only time it's appropriate.
Rule: Don't wear socks and sandals
Wearing socks with sandals is a famous fashion faux pas. But lately, even sophisticated brands like J Crew and Urban Outfitters are dressing models in colorful socks with flats, wedges and even heels. This trend is fun but tricky to pull off. Harper's Bazaar says socks and sandals shouldn't be worn with evening wear, but the right outfit can make it work for day.
"Think cropped pants and a bootie or a midcalf dress with a high sandal," the magazine suggests. "Keep the palette neutral so the effect is chic rather than shocking."
The rules of style are meant to be broken. Use them as guidelines, but remember to never allow anything to restrict your wardrobe creativity and always wear whatever you feel the best in.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
Chatterbox
"Bible literalists would have such an easier time living in America if they stopped to ponder sometimes. I think the story of Adam and Eve informs them that knowledge is evil. It is the knowledge of good and evil that cast humans out. Not knowledge in general. Before we left Eden (in their theology) - we had no morality. That is the primal state religions based on the Bible are hoping to obtain - no morality. Sounds like they want natural selection to have effects on genomes!!!!!"
— "Metacognition" in response to "Evolution should be litmus test for public office" on Oct. 11.
"What I do realize is that there are some serious problems with capitalism: the externalization of market costs onto society and the environment, the uneven geographic development of the world (we have exported our manufacturing to countries that have lax labor laws in order to maximize profits. Under the profit motive, our interests are in preventing the development of "developing" countries because they are the only ones which create the cheep products that are key to our consumer society), the emergence of concentrated poverty in urban cities that make equality of opportunity a joke, and the devaluation of human life to nothing more than quantifiable number (a cog in the economic machine, if you will)."

Fraternity holds car demolition for charity

Students lined up on the lawn in front of Watson Library Monday to take part in a fundraiser put on by Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. The fraternity was raising money for the Hole in the Wall Gang summer camp in Ashford, Conn. The camp is one of several run by the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, a cause Phi Kappa Tau selected as its national philanthropy in 1995.
The association was founded by late actor Paul Newman, a Phi Kappa Tau member, and provides services for seriously ill children and their families via camp programs and year-round outreach to hospitals and clinics.
Lucas Commodore, a sophomore from Overland Park, is the philanthropy coordinator for Phi Kappa Tau. Commodore decided to bring back the fraternity's former tradition of bashing a car for charity this fall.
Commodore said an associate of the fraternity donated the car and Bulldog Towing, 1881 E. 1450 Road, pulled it up the hill after the fraternity members painted it purple and sprayed on the number eight: a reference to the number worn by Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas.
"We didn't think anybody would catch on, but we put it on there anyways," Commodore said.
He said the fraternity encouraged people to donate between $1 and $5 to hit the car. Although the event was not scheduled to start
until noon, the group had raised more than $80 by 11:50 a.m.
in between class periods, while students walked by, a rotating group of fraternity members called out to passersby to come hit the car.
"You know you want to take a swing!" yelled Joe Getto, a sophomore from Lenexa.
Most people kept walking,
but others took advantage of the opportunity to swing a sledgehammer and let off some steam. Getto said one person paid $2 to take one swing at the car, but ended up taking about 20.
"He probably paid for a year's worth of therapy sessions," Getto said.
sanit.
By the time the event ended at 5 p.m., the group had raised $290.
An alumnus matched that amount, bringing the total to $580. All of the proceeds from this event will go directly to the Hole in the Wall Gang camp.
City, said the experience was exhilarating and definitely worth every cent. He donated $2 for his first two swings but said hed be back later with more.
"We have to destroy K-State this week," Hohman said. "I just felt like I did my part."

Universities consider allowing coed dormitory rooms
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
At most colleges, men and women have lived harmoniously together in coed dorms — often just a floor, wing or few doors away — for decades.
Student activists at Ohio and Denison universities are now pushing for the final step in the student housing revolution: to allow members of the opposite sex to share rooms.
The movement started about 10 years ago at a few small, progressive liberal-arts colleges in an effort to help gay and transgender students feel comfortable in on-campus housing. But more colleges are embracing the idea to allow all students, gay or straight, to pick the most compatible roommates
In Athens, the Student Senate voted last week to support an effort to start a test program next fall at Ohio University. School leaders are studying the issue.
Gay, bisexual and transgender students at Ohio University currently can request special accommodations, but they have to "out themselves" to the housing staff to do so, said Amelia Shaw, vice commissioner of the Student Senate's GLBT panel.
"Can you imagine being put into such an uncomfortable situation? I don't have to go in and say, 'I'm straight,'" she said.
"We're in the business of creating safe environments, and we think this is just the next logical step," said Judy Piercy, associate director for residential housing. She said her department would need to make a recommendation by February to make it possible to roll out
Shaw noted that such accommodation often means students are put into single-occupancy rooms, which are more costly.
Campus housing officials have been independently studying the issue since the summer.

men and woman to live in "genderneutral" housing. Freshmen typically aren't eligible. Some schools have specific housing for gay students and the small number of transgender students on campus.
About 55 schools nationwide, including the Columbus College of Art & Design, Miami University and Oberlin College in Ohio, allow
Others offer a few units where men and women of any sexual
orientation can live together. A few make coed housing possible everywhere but in single-gender halls. Generally, advocates say, about 2 percent to 3 percent of rooms at the institutions have been made coed.
Many universities have resisted the concept because of concerns
not some students would end up sharing not only a room but a bed.
"We're in the business of creating safe environments ... we think this is just the next logical step."
At Denison University, a small private college in Granville, student leaders submitted a petition this
spring to allow coed rooms.
JUDY PIERCE Housing, Ohio University
"We are still in the very early processes of reviewing data, talking with students, thinking about it in committee and studying other programs at peer institutions," said Bill Fox, associate dean of students.
CCAD officials started offering gender-neutral housing last year after opening its new Design Square Apartments, which have private bedrooms.
and residential-life director.
"We knew students wanted to live with whomever they wanted
but at the same time, we knew some people would look at this as a morality issue," said Dwayne Todd, associate vice president and dean of students.
Like most schools, CCAD discourages romantic partners from living together. But officials were prepared to make room transfers if couples did move in together and then broke up. That hasn't happened.
"Most coed roommates are just friends," said Jeffrey Chang, cofounder and associate director of the National Student Genderblind Campaign, an advocacy group that works with students and campus administrators to provide coed housing.
Claims that gender-neutral housing would result in promiscuity among straight couples and the potential for violence haven't materialized, said Chang, a second-year law student at Rutgers University.

Mormon leader calls gay people unnatural
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY - A Facebook campaign launched in support of a Mormon church leader's sermon on same-sex relationships has drawn more than 4,500 responses.
The "I support Boyd K. Packer" page was started Oct. 5, two days after the senior leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called homosexual attraction unnatural and said gays could and should change.
By Monday afternoon, more than 4,500 people had joined the page as fans.
Packer, 86, is the second ranking leader in the church and next in line to be president of the 13.5 million-member faith. He was speaking at the faith's semiannual general conference.
When the text of the speech was posted on a church Web page days later, Packer's remarks had been altered.
In the speech, he said: "Some suppose that they were born pre-set and cannot overcome what they feel are inborn tendencies toward the impure and unnatural. Not so! Why would our Heavenly Father do that to anyone? Remember he is our father."
On the website, the word "temptations" has replaced "tendencies" and the question about God's motives has been removed entirely.
Church public relations officials said the changed wording was part of a routine practice that allows conference speakers to edit their speeches to clarify their meaning.
National gay rights activists, including the Human Rights Campaign, have denounced the speech as factually inaccurate and dangerous, and have called on Packer to recant his remarks.
A Thursday protest of the speech in Salt Lake City drew thousands.
The Facebook page has sparked some opposing viewpoints, but most responses have praised Packer and thanked him for defending the values of traditional marriage and family and "speaking the truth." One poster called Packer a "Christian hero."
Latter-day Saints consider their senior leaders prophets who lead the church through direct communication with God.

Nebraska, Colorado face one last season in Big 12
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — No. 5 Nebraska got a raucous welcome at Kansas State as they faced the Wildcats for the last time as a Big 12 opponent.
It didn't take long for the Huskers to quiet the crowd and turn the 95th and potentially final meeting between the longtime rivals last week into a rout.
Colorado? The Big 12's other lame duck program is on the verge of going out on a much more silent note.
Nebraska is off to a fantastic start in its final Big 12 tour before joining the Big Ten next year. The Huskers (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) blew out Kansas State 48-13 and have things clicking on both sides of the ball heading into a huge date with Texas this weekend.
"I wear headsets and don't hear the noise, but I'm sure it was — at least, until we finished laying eggs — I think it was probably quite vocal," Kansas State coach Bill Snyer said.
All the noise in the world didn't bother Nebraska, which easily survived its first of two road games against Big 12 North opponents. The Huskers also visit Iowa State in early November.
Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez gets past Kansas State cornerback Ty Zimmerman, right, to score a touchdown during the fourth quarter of a game Thursday in Manhattan. Martinez rushed for 242 yards and four touchdowns leading Nebraska to a 48-13 win.
The Buffaloes' final conference trip to Missouri was a dud.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We're playing good team defense," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "We're getting better each week, and with a lot of the little things, attention to detail things that we needed to do."
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said he didn't think the atmosphere in Columbia was any crazier than usual. The bigger issue for the Buffs (3-2, 0-1) was Missouri's defense, which handed Colorado just its second shutout in 262 games.
The 21st-ranked Tigers (5-0, 1-0) shut out Colorado 26-0, capping their rivalry with the Buffs with five straight wins by a combined score of 203-40.
Martinez, who was named the Big 12's offensive player of the week, ran for 241 yards and threw for 128 more. leading the Huskers on four scoring drives that took five plays or less.
Nebraska handled its final Big 12 road opener in impressive fashion, rolling over the Wildcats behind another brilliant performance from freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez.

guy that can run fast," Snyder said. "We created some opportunities for him to showcase his speed and he took full advantage of it each and every time. I think he's a very talented player."
"He's more than just a young
Next, the Huskers host Texas (3-2, 1-1) in a rematch of last year's memorable league title game.
As few Nebraska fans will ever forget, the Longhorns were given an extra second at the end of the game after a video replay. That allowed Hunter Lawrence to boot a 46-yard field goal and deny Nebraska a trip to a BCS bowl game.
The game doesn't have quite the buzz it was expected to have after the Longhorns fell to both UCLA and Oklahoma. But last year's title game was followed by the conference realignment frenzy this summer, adding even more juice to the showdown between the two storied programs.
"I don't get caught up in all the personal reasons or whatever else. I have nothing against Texas," Nebraska coach Pelini said. "What happened in the offseason, like I said, you control what you can control."
Texas coach Mack Brown threw a bouquet to Nebraska's fans, saying he believes the Huskers have the best crowd in college football.

NFL
Favre unable to get Vikings out of hole
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brett Favre was at his dazzling best after a miserable start that put the Minnesota Vikings in a hole.
There would be no classic comeback this time, though, for the record-breaking quarterback.
Hit hard early and often by Rex Ryan's physical defense, Favre nearly led the Vikings back with a milestone night, but Dwight Lowery returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown with 1:30 left as the New York Jets beat the Vikings 29-20 on Monday night in a game that was delayed 45 minutes at the start by lightning.
Lacking fireworks early, Nick Folk kicked five field goals for the Jets (4-1), two after fumbles by Favre, and now the 41-year-old quarterback is left wondering if an even bigger punishment is in store from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Favre finished 14 for 34 for 264 yards for the Vikings (1-3) hours after he apologized to teammates for the distraction caused by an NFL investigation into allegations that he sent racy messages and lewd photos to a Jets game hostess in 2008.
He became the first NFL player to throw 500 touchdown passes and for 70,000 yards, but two early fumbles against his former team helped put the Vikings in a 12-0 hole.
Adrian Peterson had 88 yards on 18 carries for Minnesota.
Mark Sanchez was 21 of 44 for 191 yards, and still hasn't thrown an interception this season, although he came close a few times. Santonio Holmes played his first game with the Jets after being suspended the first four for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
New York's offense struggled for the first time since Week 1, failing to get much going — other than field goals — until late.
LaDainian Tomlinson had another solid game for the Jets with 94 yards rushing on 20 carries.

For the first time since before the 2007-2008 national title season, the Jayhawk basketball team will be changing its uniform, Kansas announced in a news release Monday.
Kansas will continue its use of the Trajan font and the same color schemes — white home, blue away and red alternate — but will be donning the new Adidas Revolution 30 jerseys.
The jerseys, made of 60 percent recyclable material, are designed to dry twice as quickly as the old jerseys. They also weigh 30 percent less.
Both the men's and women's teams will be undergoing the change to the new uniform. The women's jersey was unveiled at media day Monday. The men's will be unveiled at media day today.

Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis will be featured offensively

Monica Engelman, front, and Carolyn Davis will be a major part of the Jayhawks' production this season. Engelman averaged 12.1 points while Davis averaged 15.2 points and 8.4 rebounds last season.
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
After ending last season 17-16, Davis said she had one thing on her mind: to win.
Monica Engelman is the ideal perimeter player; pass first, shoot second, play fast and keep everyone involved. Carolyn Davis is her complement: an active forward who goes beyond her role as an inside scorer and rebounder by trying to create open looks for her teammates. Together, the two sophomores are a powerhouse.
"Ive got high goals," Davis said. "I want to go all the way."
Her ultimate goal could be tough with such an inexperienced team. In the offseason, the roster underwent drastic changes, including
the loss of five seniors and two transfers. It also welcomed four freshman guards and two new assistant coaches. So what does the team need to find the synergy to advance further this season?
"Somewhere in our group of girls, we got to
"I think it helps that we're close off the court, too. When we get out there, we know what's in each other's head."
find some leadership," Engelman said. "Both of us are taking that leadership role and growing together."

"We just have the same personalities," Davis said. "We're both really laid back."
both really and less.
They may be laid back off the court, but the dynamic offensive producers show no sign of that once the first whistle blows. After filling a permanent spot on the starting lineup, Engelman averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. She also reached double-digit scoring in
FRESHMANYEAR
When asked how she felt about having three more seasons to play with Davis, Engelman was all smiles. She said it was exciting to think about the future of the program with such a young team learning and improving together.
"I was known as the spark," Engelman said. "When the team was down, I'd come in and make
something happen."
Davisalso had an effect with an average of 15.2 points and 8.4 rebounds
something shaped With a solid starting position, Engelman has advanced beyond that role. She and Davis had 13 career starts and will return to the starting lineup, after earning the spots midway through last year's injury-plagued season. It came as an unexpected surprise for the teammates, who quickly connected.

per game after joining Engelman on the starting lineup.
"You can tell that me and her bonded really well even in the game," Engelman said. "She'll set the on-ball screen and if I'm coming off the screen and I can't shoot, I'm looking for her."
Davis said they became close friends shortly after meeting each other the summer before their freshman season and have been inseparable since. Developing a friendship was a great way to adjust to college life far from their Texas homes, but it also meant a successful offensive relationship.
"I think it helps that we're close off the court, too," Davis said. "When we get out there, we know what's in each other's head."
At such different positions, Davis said their bond could be used as an offensive weapon. She also said it was important for her to be an
active rebounder. Davis grabbed 152 rebounds as a freshman,95 of which were defensive.She said she would make it her priority to also dominate the offensive boards and give her team more second-chance opportunities.
Known for their effective transition game, the team doesn't often look to run a set-up offense, but Engelman said she liked knowing she had someone accountable inside.
"It's a confidence builder for me because I trust her and know that if I give her the ball she's going to finish." Engelman said.
This confidence comes from more than just their friendship. Last season, Davis hit 71.9 percent of her shots, setting a Kansas record for single-season field goal percentage.
"I have a lot of confidence knowing that I'm coming off a good season," Davis said.
Davis was named Big 12 Freshman of the Week twice in February. To say she had a good season is modest. Her 11 rebounds and career-high 31 points in last year's Big 12 Championship opener against Oklahoma State was more than good. Despite her performance, the team still lost that game.
MOVING FORWARD
"It just shows the importance of having other scorers," Davis said. Monica knows she has to produce. Everyone has to produce and balance each other out."
To make sure she does her part, Davis said she focused her offseason efforts on developing a broader range. She was already
strong inside, but in a conference heavy on competitive post play, she made it her goal to become more of a threat by developing her outside game.
they each emphasized the importance of offensive execution both down low and on the perimeter. Engelman said the team was guard-heavy last season, but was working to improve that before the season opener on Nov. 14 against South Dakota. Both players agreed that they would need to be effective from all ranges in order to reach their conference goals.
"It takes a really special defensive team to be able to shut down the inside and outside at the same time." Davis said.
The hope is that with this dynamic duo dominating the court, the defense won't be able to do so and
the team will see a better outcome because of it. Engelman already averaged 37.6 percent from the field last year and said she practiced hard to maintain that accuracy for the upcoming season.
Hitting 30 of an attempted 80 3-pointers last season wasn't good enough for Engelman, who said she had worked to improve her consistency from beyond the arc even further. She said the hard work had helped her confidence, but no one is more confident in her abilities than Davis.
"It's good to know that you have someone outside that you can look to knock down the shot," Davis said. "We trust each other. She knows she can pass it to me and I'm confident that I can look to her."

NEWARK, N.J. — Alex Goligoski and Mark Letestu scored goals within a three-minute span covering the first and second periods to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-1 victory over the undermanned New Jersey Devils on Monday.
Devils off to worst start since 2001
The Devils fell to 0-2-1, their worst start since the 2001-02 season.
The Devils played the game with a franchise-low 15 healthy skaters due to injuries to Anton Volchenkov and Brian Rolston. They also waived forward Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblon just as he was supposed to begin one-game suspension.

'Slaughter rule'isn't acceptable
MORNING BREW
While covering the Kansas softball team last week, I saw Kansas work hard, play smart and slaughter Johnson County Community College.
And when I say "slaughter," I mean the game was called because of the lead that Kansas had amassed.
As a reporter, I was excited to include this feat in my article.
As a sports fan I was thoroughly disappointed.
I think it is beyond ridiculous that at the college level, games are being called for a lack of offense.
I do agree with the "slaughter rule" when it pertains to kids in Little League games. As far as kids go, it's acceptable in my book to protect children from suffering a terrible loss that could discourage them from any sport.
But at the ages of 18 and up, it's time to start approaching the game as adults.
These players do not need to be babied. From a historical standpoint, how can there be record books if the games aren't even

able to be finished?
Imagine if in the midst of a no-hitter during Phillies-Reds playoff game, the home-plate umpire came up to Roy Halladay and said, "Look Roy, you're throwing a great game, but today is clearly not Cincinnati's day. We're just going to end its misery now."
Furthermore, who is to say a team can't make a comeback? Just because some scores can make players wonder why they ever wanted to play the game doesn't mean a comeback isn't plausible.
I believe that once a game is started and the players have committed to it, it's their responsibility to finish the game and play to

the best of their ability. They owe it to the fans who come to watch, but more importantly they owe it to themselves, as they devote their time to the sport.
This is not to take away from Kansas. The softball team played an all-around great game, and it deserved the win. But it should be celebrating the win after the ninth inning, not the seventh.
If players and referees can't hold themselves to that standard, it's time they find a new activity to fill their time.

After two years of season-ending injuries, redshirt freshman Tania Jackson is ready to get back in the game.
Jackson tore her ACL a week before tryouts her senior year at Lawrence High School. Last year, she tore her meniscus in practice before the first exhibition game. During the offseason, Jackson worked to make herself stronger and overcome her injuries.
"I am excited," Jackson said. "I put in a lot of effort over the summer to get my knee right; that was the main focus. I am just really excited to be on the court with my team again."
Jackson is also looking forward to playing in front of the fans at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time.
"I think that is important for anyone from Lawrence," Jackson said. "I want to play in front of my fans and friends and it has been about two years since they have seen me play."
Growing up in Lawrence, Jackson knew from early on that she wanted to play for the Jayhawks.
"I started going to Kansas games in seventh or eighth grade and that is when I knew I wanted to go to Kansas." jackson said. "This has always been a dream of mine."
This season, she is ready to help the team in several ways.
"I am a three point threat; I got a lot of shots in this summer trying to get my three point shot up," Jackson said. "I have gotten a lot
stronger, kneewise, physically and mentally. I think a big thing for me is playing mentally tough when my knee starts bothering me. I think that is the way that I will impact the team, by being mentally tough"
Head coach Bonnie Henrickson
said she looked forward to seeing jackson on the court as well.
"She's been in all of our workouts so far this year and she's been in every practice." Henrickson said. "She's a great shooter, very strong and she doesn't mind being physical, she embraces that. She
can guard any post player — she is that athletic."
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis also commented on the strengths Jackson would bring to the team this season.
"She is really aggressive in the post and we'll see that she can
shoot outside and post inside;" Davis said. "That is going to really help to stretch the defense having a four that can shoot a three."
After a season watching games from the sidelines, Jackson has a unique perspective on how to help the team through its struggles.
"I think the main thing I can have a major impact on is my voice," she said. "I think it can be more of an addition to my voice and communication on the court."

If you ask coach Turner Gill, Kansas' bye week couldn't have come at a better time.
Following the 55-7 loss to Baylor last weekend, the Kansas coaching staff used the bye week re focus on getting players to be more physical on both sides of the ball. Gill said he felt the team was out of rhythm in Waco and the extra week was a good time to get back on track.
"We needed to get some things going during the bye week," Gill said at Monday's press conference. "I felt we were out of rhythm and we've used this extra week to correct those things and prepare for K-State."
Gill worked on creating more turnovers and knocking guys to the turf, something he wants to see more of each week in practice and in games. Playing more physically, he said, is key to getting more turnovers.
Safety Lubbock Smith echoed his coach's sentiments on being more physical throughout the week.
"If you play physical and play with extra confidence," he said, "that encourages it."
"During practice we always focus on finishing every tackle," he said. "We're going to have to tackle well and get takeaways in order to come out with a W"
Smith noticed the coaching staff's extra emphasis during the bye week of wrapping up, securing the tackle and not getting too excited and missing open field tackles. Gill said the defense
Meeting Gill's missed tackle quota will be key in stopping Kansas State's dangerous running game, led by senior Daniel Thomas. If the Jayhawks can't bring down Thomas, he could have another big day and add to his 691 rushing yards, eighth best in the country.
needed fewer than 10 missed tackles against K-State if the team hoped to be successful. He also wants to get 80 knockdowns throughout the game, whether that be on offense or defense.
Cornerback Chris Harris noticed this week's practices had gotten more intense leading up to Thursday night's showdown with
"A lot more players have been on the ground this week. Everyone's been going a little harder. I would definitely say there's been a lot more knockdowns this week."
K-State.
With a young team, however, the veteran defender warned younger teammates of getting too excited and making big mistakes.
"Everyone's been a little more jacked for this game because it's a lot of players' first game against K-State," Harris said. "So you have to watch for injuries leading up to kickoff."
Harris said he wanted the defense to play up to its abilities and react more as compared to
thinking too much on the field, something the coaches have preached to the defense.
He said repetitions and tough-mindedness are key to shoring up missed tackles and making big plays on game day.
"Lately, we've definitely been getting more turnovers and hitting harder in practice, so we just need to bring what we do in practice to the game."
Whether or not the extra emphasis on hard-hitting and toughness in practice will translate to success Thursday night remains to be seen.

COMMENTARY
Football team must follow two-step plan
The Jayhawks have been humiliated twice this season already, and they're not even
halfway through it. So what can coach Turner Gill do to save face this season? The answer is a simple two-step plan.
Step one: Kansas needs to win against Kansas State on Thursday night.
Gill has had two weeks to get his players prepared for the Wildcats. His team should be ready and he should have a solid game plan to stop talented K-State running back Daniel Thomas.
The Jayhawks must come out with incredible passion. Gill may not have coached a rivalry game like this before. Understand that to Kansas fans, this game is more than just another matchup.
While K-State was falling into despair under Ron Prince, Kansas is reaching new heights with Mark Mangino. Now, it appears that the roles are reversing, K-State is heading back in the right direction under Bill Snyder and Kansas is regressing.
This trend must stop. Another trend must continue, one that is historically more significant.
Kansas still leads the all-time series 65-37-5. Kansas is 37-15-2 against K-State in Lawrence, and even has a winning record in Manhattan, too. The Jayhawks have won four of the last six Sunflower Showdowns.
After step one is complete, step two must be the next goal.
The Tigers, who are currently

ranked 21st in the latest AP poll, could be Nebraska's biggest competitor in the Big 12 North. Games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., have been intense. Because it's a home game for Missouri, Tiger fans will be out in full force, ready to kick the Jayhawks while they're down.
The first step in Gill and the Jayhawks' campaign for this year is important. Would losing all but one conference game to Missouri be enough to keep fans content?
If the lajahaves win only two more games all season, let them be against K-State and Missouri. Give Kansas fans a reason to cheer and be excited again.
Both K-State and Missouri will more than likely go to bowl games and have a more successful year than Kansas. At the very least, let Jayhawk fans offer a rebuttal when they are mocked by Wildcat and Tiger fans.
After what looks to be a losing season, fans could find peace with Gill if he simply completes this two-step plan. Beat K-State and beat Missouri.

City zoning in on landlady's violations
**From the source: I've attached three photos of flooding damage in the basement of our house. One of the two flooded nearly every time it rained. They tried to fix the flooding a couple times, but were unable to. After a while, when we emailed them for further help, they were late in responding and only put forth a minimal effort.

When Rachel Hagen, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., woke up in the dark to a bat flying over her face, she was petrified. When her landlady offered her a book of self-written poems rather than an exterminator's number, she thought surely she was dreaming.
Because of questionable practices, Hearn, who owns more than 25 properties in Lawrence has become infamous among renters, many of whom are KU students.
"She is absolutely trying to stuff as many kids into houses as possible."
Brian Markowitz, a senior from Leawood, said.
"She will do anything possible to make a buck."
"Just read the poem" her landlady, Serina Hearn, said. "Then you will feel better."
Markowitz and the five roommates he lived with at 1736 Louisiana St., are filing a lawsuit against Hearn.
If you suspect you may be living illegally in a rented home or apartment, you can contact the Lawrence City Zoning Commission at 785-832-7700
"She absolutely made an effort to hide how many people lived there that day," Markowitz said. "She put numbers on one bedroom door to make it look like a separate apartment and she put a fake closet in front of the attic door so they wouldn't go upstairs and see three bedrooms up there."
inspection, Hearn's assistant, Alicia Chance, e-mailed the six tenants and asked them to leave the house.
The house had been zoned by the city of Lawrence as a "single-family home," which means that no more than three unrelated tenants may live in it together. However, Markowitz, who had been unaware of the zoning code, claimed that Hearn knowingly allowed six unrelated people to live in one residence.
After their lease was up, Hearn did not refund the tenants their security deposit of $2,970. At that point, Markowitz discovered that and his roommates had been living in the home illegally. He then submitted their lease and e-mails to city inspectors.

"We've given Hearn the opportunity to prove that her actions were not unlawful, and she has yet to do
"We can have this problem with any house," jimenez said. "It comes down to whether the landlord is going to be law-abiding."
These similar stories include ones such as Ben Cohen's, an MBA graduate student from Overland Park and former Kansan staffer.
Markowitz filed a complaint with the city, but the case has yet to be prosecuted. If city does not pursue the case, Markowitz said that he and his roommates will file a civil suit.
Ryan Wagner SPELL2/KANSAN
"I had heard rumors before I signed my lease that the security deposit should be considered a 13th month's rent," Cohen said. "To not give the security deposit back is just her practice."
At the address of 1736 Louisiana is the home of Brian Markowitz and five other KU seniors. Markowitz is heading a law suit against the landlord Serena Hearns who owns Rainbow Works, LLC
In addition to not refunding their security deposit of $3,960, Hearn charged Cohen and his eight roommates an additional $1900.
We haven't paid yet, and I refuse
to" Cohen said. "She won't verify where the money is going, and I know it won't go back into the house. Her rentals are literally run-down dumps."
However, Markowitz said the money isn't the main issue. "Our lease had signature spaces for up to seven people," Markowitz said. "She flat out led to us."
After the city received Markowitz's complaint in 2009, a second complaint was filed that more than three people were living in the house yet again. The property is currently vacant.
"I literally had no idea we were doing anything wrong," said Markowitz. "At this point, I just feel that beyond what she has done to
me, I guarantee she is going to do it to someone else"
After an initial attempt to contact Hearn, her rental website was taken
down. She was also unavailable for later attempts at contact.

Funds for campus maintenance increasingly hard to find
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com
The University's to-do list of oncampus maintenance is long — and growing longer.
More than $225 million in repairs and renovations are expected to be included on the University's latest inventory of maintenance projects, which will be completed in November.
"We are far away from where we need to be," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said.
Every two years, the University reviews its unaddressed maintenance projects and reports them to the Kansas Board of Regents. The regents then release their report on deferred maintenance the following January. The 2008 report revealed a 24 percent increase from 2006 in deferred maintenance projects at the six Kansas universities.
Modig said the rate of deterioration at the University is about 2 percent of campus facilities replacement values per year. The University has about $1 billion in facilities.

Watson Library, Learned Hall, Lippencott Hall and Bailey Hall are next in line to receive mechanical improvements. More than $225 million worth of maintenance is expected to be included on the University's inventory of deferred maintenance projects, which will be released in January.
Modig said projects are prioritized and that funding rarely keeps pace with on campus needs. He said those needs are primarily mechanical and electrical improvements.
Modig said funding is still needed for mechanical improvements on Watson Library and Learned Hall. Lippincott and Bailey also need mechanical improvements, Modig said, which will be paid for through the the University's repair and rehabilitation coffers.
In the past year, projects have been completed in Dyche, Haworth, Malott, Wescoe and Murphy halls and in the campus utility tunnel system.
"If one of those collapsed we could lose water or lose power," Martin said. "Now you don't necessarily think of it now that it is covered up."
Jack Martin, a University spokesman, said the tunnel repairs were less visible but crucial to campus operations.
Money for maintenance will be even harder to come by since regents allocated the last of its Federal stimulus funding in June. Through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, the University received $12,853,922 for fiscal year 2011.
In September regents approved more than $5 million in state funds for projects to be completed in Strong Hall ($2,867,000 for heating, venting and air conditioning improvements), Art & Design ($1,601,415 for HVAC and central chiller improvements) and Lindley Hall ($600,000 for HVAC
The state legislature approved a five year program in 2008 for funding deferred maintenance at state universities. However the funding was on an annual basis and funds dried up, leaving no available money for the program in fiscal years 2010, 2011 or 2012 — the final years of the program.
Grants or donations also help fund maintenance projects. Dyche Hall received a $1.5 million federal stimulus grant from the National Science Foundation in September. In May, former Chancellor Archie Dykes and his wife, Nancy, provided $100,000 to support deferred maintenance projects.

Mariel Dryton, a sophomore from Leawood, was there the night of the alleged assault. She said there was a party and most people seemed to be having fun. Dryton said there wasn't any indication that anything was wrong.
Police Department report, an 18-year-old Lawrence man sexually assaulted a female KU student after she fell asleep in the fraternity house the night of Aug. 20. The suspect was charged with rape and aggravated sexual battery Aug. 23.
The international Delta Chi fraternity announced in an
Aug. 24 statement that it was investigating its University of Kansas chapter, pending the suspect's criminal case.
"The Kansas Chapter and its members have continued to fully cooperate with the local authorities in their investigation." Karl Grindel, assistant executive director for Delta Chi, wrote in an email. "Since there is currently an ongoing criminal investigation, Delta Chi will conclude its review once the criminal justice system has taken its course."

RESEARCH
Data encourages graduate program
A report from the National Research Council released in late September hopes to strengthen graduate programs at the University and at more than 200 other colleges and universities around the nation.
The report, "Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs," is a data-driven study that has been compiled over the past five years. Forty-one graduate programs at the University's Lawrence and Medical Center campuses were included in the report.
The report collects information about multiple areas of education.
Some of these include: number of students, number of faculty with research grants, incoming graduate record exam, or GRE scores of incoming students and measures of diversity.
"It's a great benchmarking tool," said Sara Rosen, dean of graduate studies.
Programs are not ranked with a single number, Rosen said, but instead with a range of rankings among the variables included.
The report will help the graduate education program measure progress and plan priorities internally. Also, Rosen said if prospective students have certain criteria they want for their graduate education, they can access the report online
and gauge universities against each other.
this is the third time this report has been produced. It was also released in 1982 and 1995.
Rosen said several programs that were evaluated in 1995 as being strong continue to flourish, according to early analysis of the report. These include Spanish and Portuguese, ecology and evolutionary biology, chemistry and clinical child psychology at the Lawrence campus.
Strong programs at the KU Medical Center include pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics, anatomy and cell biology, and molecular and integrative physiology.

Proposal may produce problems
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughtonkansan.com
Emporia State University's efforts to start an elementary education program at Johnson County Community College has sparked some concern from University officials regarding the interests of students pursuing education degrees.
The committee recommended approval, according to the meeting's agenda. But Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the committee didn't take any immediate action on Emporia State's proposal.
"I don't begrudge Emporia for wanting to work with Johnson County," said Rick Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education. "But we in the business have to take a stand and do what is right by young people."
Last Tuesday, during a meeting held by the Academic Affairs Committee of the Kansas Board of Regents, the topic came up for discussion and recommendation.
Emperor State officials have been discussing the need for an elementary education program for more than a year with Johnson County officials.
Marilyn Rhinehart, executive vice president for academic affairs and chief academic officer with Johnson County, said Emporia State proposed this program because it had become increasingly difficult for students to take advantage of education programs already in place in the Kansas City area due to full occupancy.
Rhinehart said it is Johnson County's goal to make higher education accessible to people who are either place or time bound.
"We need programs like this so people can have access", Rhinehart said. "And that is probably the central feature of what Emporia State is trying to provide, especially considering that they had so much success at Kansas City Kansas Community College with their program there."
Ginsberg doesn't deny that students have probably been requesting an education program. But he did stress that there are already multiple programs, either private or state, that could meet the needs of those students while being fair to them.
"You want students to pursue programs that they have a pretty good likelihood of getting a job," Ginsberg said. "We already struggle finding placements for our
students in the Johnson County region because the school districts are overwhelmed."
In an e-mail sent by Jeffrey Vitter, per request for comment from the Kansas Board of Regents, Vitter outlined the concerns the University has with the approval.
In the e-mail, Vitter said he does not oppose the program expansion but is worried about the significant budget cuts in K-12 schools that have resulted in the elimination of teaching positions.
Both Vitter and Ginsberg describe the teaching market as "over-saturated." Vitter said the term is in reference to college graduates seeking elementary teaching jobs, not potential undergraduates seeking elementary education degrees.
For evidence of the market in the Kansas City metropolitan area, Ginsberg and Vitter refer to an informal survey conducted by the School of Education. According to Vitter's e-mail, the survey of K-12 human resources directors showed that very few elementary teachers are being hired. In the Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, and De Soto School districts, there were 68 elementary teachers hired last year, with more than 12,000 applications filed for these openings. There was an average of about 175 applications for every elementary position hired.
"If we're having trouble finding placement sites for our current candidates, what sense is there to add more?" Ginsberg said.
Rhinehart said it is hard to believe that the market is saturated because there is a high rate of turnover, despite the fact that the financial situation is "dire," as she put it.
Bill Noblitt, director of marketing and media relations for Emporia State, declined to comment on the controversy surrounding the discussion.
"We want to make this a convenient opportunity for education students and citizens in that area and this is pretty much the way that we see it, in that we are going to work with the Kansas Board of Regents for the approval process," Nobilt said.
Ginsberg said while Emporia State may have done their research in terms of opportunity, the University is looking out for students in terms of job placement.
"I think we are the ones being fair, I don't think Emporia is being fair," Ginsberg said. "If you don't mind just turning up people who don't get jobs in the field, you can do it and be successful but I think
that is shirking our responsibility as a University to do that."
The issue will be discussed again in the committee's meeting next month.

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
The Johnson County Community College (JCCC)/Emporia State University (ESU) Elementary 2+1+1Program will provide a quality elementary preparation program to individuals residing in the Johnson County Kansas area who wish to complete the Emporia State Elementary Teacher Education program and KSDE licensure recommendation through continued engagement with JCCC.
The program will allow candidates the ability to complete two years of general education coursework at the JCCC campus. In addition, the candidate would be able to complete the required ESU education course work taught by ESU faculty on the JCCC campus, meeting the needs of the placed bound candidate. The required professional field experiences and student teaching requirement will be completed at elementary schools participating in the Professional Development School (PDS) agreement established by ESU.
Students likely to Enroll in the Program
Based on a spring 2011 start date, ESU and JCCC believe there are a minimum of 20 program candidates per student cohort. Thus, by fall 2013, there is the potential for a consistent enrollment of 80 students a semester. Again, the potential enrollment numbers are reflective of students seeking face-to-face instruction and place bound in the Johnson County Kansas vicinity and are considered on the minimum end of the potential student learner.

Terrorist alert may affect study abroad students
INTERNATIONAL

"In a situation like this, it just provides students and parents with a platform to be more alert and prepared," Nancy Chaison, associate director of the Office of Study Abroad, said. "We are hoping the alert will end Jan. 31, as the government has said, and not be extended."
Last week, the United States issued an alert for U.S. citizens traveling to all European countries. The State Department said mounting evidence of an imminent terrorist attack prompted the alert.
There are currently 95 University students studying abroad in European countries. Immediately after the national alert was issued, the students were e-mailed a second advisory.
A terrorist attack of this nature would target buses, trains or high-traffic areas. Ashley Curry, a junior from Leawood, is studying abroad in Barcelona and said she agreed that the warning was especially relevant for students.
A spokesperson for the British government confirmed that evidence of an attack plot was being looked at very closely by the U.S. and its allies. The plot is said to mimic the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, which lasted three days and killed more than 160 people.
"I've been traveling almost every weekend," Curry said. "Honestly, the thought that there would be a real danger there never crossed my mind."
France, Britain and Spain all have a current travel advisory of "high," but will not disclose if the classification is a result of the U.S. alert. A high travel advisory indicates a "high, probable risk" of a terror attack.
"When I was studying abroad in London last summer, I traveled to Italy for a weekend." Lancaster said. "There was a guy who kept trying to get me to get into a taxi, but it wasn't marked as one. When you don't speak the language, they really try to take advantage of your naiveness."
Because there is no specific evidence as to where the attack
The Office of Study Abroad instructs students to notify their resident director or the U.S. embassy before they leave their location to travel, and forward the office a number at which they
Regardless of University policy, Lancaster feels the alert may deter students from going abroad.
"The most important thing is to be aware of your surroundings," Lancaster said. "We've heard stories about a guy who was offered a drink from an older man at a train station and woke up four hours later and all of his bags were gone. You have to trust the people you are around and talking to."
Enrollment for the spring semester of study abroad ended Oct. 1, three days before the alert was issued. Chaison says if the alert is changed to a travel warning, all University programs in the affected countries will be cancelled and any students there will be brought home immediately.
"They don't really know if, when or where the attacks are going to happen," she said. "That's going to scare a lot of people. It may be a one in a million chance, but it's still a chance."
can be reached in an emergency.
The protests were not related to the travel advisory, however, Grace Lancaster, a junior from Topeka, said she understood why students may be fearful.
"Last week, our classes were cancelled because of political protests going on in the city," Curry said. "People were lightning cars on fire. We weren't even allowed to leave our houses, so obviously people were wondering if it was related to the alert."
may take place, a blanket advisory has been made for all of Europe. Curry said the warnings have led to fear and confusion for students.

COMMENTARY
Halloween means adult dress up time
ST. LOUIS — It might be the only night you will see teen heart-throb Jinibie Bieber and Snooki of "Jersey Shore" out on a date — or at least a guy with side-swept bangs and a girl with a sculpted pouf who look a lot like them.
Halloween makes it acceptable to be outrageous. It's the one time of year when being the most outlandish, grotesque, risque, macabre or wacky person in the room is perfectly acceptable. And it's one of the few times adults get to indulge in make-believe.
Normally, there are so many fashion options that people feel overloaded with choices.Rather than experiment and dress with abandon.it's much more typical for the general public to settle into a conservative niche and
blend into the crowd.
But on Halloween, we have license to throw caution, care and sanity to the wind.
The guy in the office known for pleated chinos, brown belts, colored Polo shirts and loafers can be a mighty gladiator. The woman who lives in shirt dresses and low-heeled pumps can be a saucy witch.
Let's not spend too much time considering the psychology of costumes. It would only spoil the fun.
The only limits are your imagination. Ready-made costumes will save you from hunting or crafting. The options are endless, so we decided to offer up some examples to help rev up your imagination.
— KIDS AGAIN
What better way to have fun than to drift back in time to the period when you didn't have to be on a reality television show to
get away with a shameless public temper tantrum.
— FLY BOY AND HIS '40S GIRL How romantic? He has returned from war, and she's a ray of sunshine waiting for him in a goldenrod dress.
STEAM PUNKS
This is an anachronistic mash-up of Victorian-era garb blended with the Industrial Age and a little punk styling swirled in. Think corsets, ruffled blouses, bowler hats, monocles, steam engine goggles, brass chains and combat boots.
Pick this genre, and you'll have a lot of freedom. This type of outfit doesn't come packaged in a bag, so you'll have to play around to find the look that's right for you.
And remember that you might already own some items that can fit into this style if you add the right accessories.

Located just East of Metcalf on 115th Overland Park, KS
Scheduled to start in late October and be completed by late spring, the $376,000 project will replace an outdated system with one that relies on geothermal technology.
The new system will bury a looplike network of pipes and wells as far as 300 feet underground. Taking advantage of the constant underground temperature, the system will draw heat into the tomb's interior in winter while cooling it in summer. It's expected to help protect the tomb's historic finishes.
Because the network will be located beneath the lawn in front of the tomb, the vault containing Lincoln's body won't be disturbed, Blanchette said.
Once the project is done, the lawn will appear as it does now, he said. "No one will know that there's anything undermeath."
State officials are touting the geothermal system as the first of its kind at a state historic site.

could ultimately be expanded to all students.
The grant is a major accomplishment for Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. The assessment system will eventually be used in 11 states, undoubtedly raising the profile of the University in the area of education.
The grant also has the distinction of being the largest in KU history. Previously, the largest grant was $20 million for a new chemistry center. That grant was announced in 2008.
For the typical student, it may be easy to dismiss the opportunity that the money represents. After all, it's not as if the money will make tuition cheaper or directly benefit most university students.
But the grant is an important opportunity for the University to do something important and influential in the field of education, something for which all students can be proud.

Women, take back Halloween
It's beginning to feel a lot like Halloween!
Well, not really "beginning," because Dillons has had that Halloween candy aisle since the dawn of Sept. 1, but Halloween is on its spooky way.
This Halloween column goes out to all the ladies - yeah, I can do that, just like a school dance D.J. Men, you can keep reading if you want — I mean, it won't like de-masculinize you. And it might get a bit sexy!
I went to a costume shop the other day to research what exactly Belle and Alice from Beauty and The Beast and Alice in Wonderland, respectively, wore for a paper I had to write for my What Fictional Characters Wore: Jesus to Jacob from Twilight class.
According to their costume selection, Belle and Alice were kind of scantily clad. In fact, if you were at the bottom of the rabbithole, you probably had an interesting show when Alice fell down it, and Belle wasn't so much playing hard-to-get as she was dressing like a stripper and staring off into space suggestively.
But it wasn't just Belle and Alice, all of the costumes were a bit tight-fitting and lacking in fabric - oh, I'll just say it - they
Oddities
BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com
There's a scene in Mean Girls written by the brilliant Tina Fey in which Lindsay Lohan's character shows up to a Halloween costume party dressed as the bride of Frankenstein. Her friends, dressed as whorey versions of mice, cats, and bunnies, are surprised when she shows up to the party not dressed like a total slut.
were all kind of "whorey." So I promptly turned to the store clerk, yelled, "Well, I never!" and stormed out of the store.
This is true to life. Every Halloween, most of my women friends and even my sister, dress as scantily clad versions of referees, Batman, Robin, witches, nuns, etc.
In fact, a friend of mine expressed interest in going as a banana one Halloween, but decided that it was not slutty enough, and she would be laughed at if she went through with it. And
bananas are hilarious, people!
This issue really plagues me, because it's a cruel and unusual pressure for women to have. Victoria's Secret even sells costumes now, which is funny, because DON'T THEY NORMALLY SELL, LIKE, LINGERIE AND LOTION?
And I don't think lotion counts as a costume! I think that females should have the same worries that I have – to wear a costume that's sort of original and kind of funny.
At this rate, women will all just wear red tape that spells out "SEX" over their breasts and crotch for future Hallowewens.
It's Halloween. It's about fun and candy. You're women. And being a woman shouldn't just be about having a woman's body. Women can be smart and clever. If you want to go as a drugged out Hannah Montana, do it! If you want to go as Oscar the grouch, go on ahead!
Smart women, take back Halloween! It should be about what you're wearing, not how little.

Economic beliefs more relevant to public office than views on evolution
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In Monday's UDK, there was an article which stated that 'belief in macroevolution' was a good indicator for political eligibility. The article then proceeded to lambaste Tea-Partiers based on the author's preconceived notions of how conservatives and fiscal libertarians reason (via a question-and-answer segment between the author and his imaginary Tea-Party-supporting friend).
Ignoring the (obvious) condescensions, I'd first like to inform the author that there are fiscal libertarians who believe in macroevolution, and that 'belief in macroevolution' isn't an exclusive attribute of any political party.
I would also like to confront the author's assertion, "... Obama is not a socialist, he's a Neo-Keynesian." Does this author even realize that socialism,
communism, Marxism and Keynesianism (and mercantilism and feudalism, while we're at it) are all forms of collectivism? In other words, does the author realize that these aforementioned ideologies (and economic-based dogmas, i.e., Marxism) advocate some form of arbitrary market interference? To infer that they are antithetical to each another, or to propose that the differences between each philosophy are widespread, is to ignore the truth that all of these philosophies favor the direct control of market interactions by political planning bodies (to vary degrees, of course). They are 'specie' of the genus' collectivism, to quote Friedrich Havek.
In saying that Obama is a Neo-Keynesian but not a socialist, the author displays a
profound ignorance of general macroeconomic theory and the influences of Keynesian thought. Since Keynes's GT was influenced by socialists like Gesellschaft and Malthus, can one say, "Obama is a Neo-Keynesian, not a socialist" and be deemed knowledgeable?
All this being said, I'd like to mention that there are no specific litmus tests for political eligibility. For instance, if a person believes in evolution but also believes in dogmas like a "need-based economy," "central-planning," "class-warfare economics (i.e., mercantilism)," then is he really eligible for public office? Since Obama's president, I guess the answer is, sadly, "yes."

Cutting sodium intake now helps later in life
But one important factor is often neglected when students are deciding upon their next meal; sodium content.
Let's face it, the average college student doesn't have the best diet.
Convenient, cheap, tasty food that silences a rumbling stomach is all that matters after a long day of class, or a late night cram session. Once hunger strikes the average student will either reach for a packet of Ramen noodles, or may splurge and order a sub.
2,300 milligrams of sodium (equivalent to one teaspoon of table salt) is the maximum amount of sodium the average adult should consume in any given day, but according to webmd.com, 90 percent of Americans are getting far too much.
It's easy to see why students are consuming too much sodium. One packet of Ramen contains 1600 milligrams of sodium that's 70% of the recommended daily value! Jimmy Johns isn't any better; one of the healthier items on Jimmy John's menu, a number 6 Vegetarian, has 873.07 milligrams of sodium.
So if a student eats one Jimmy John's Vegetarian Sub, and has a packet of Ramen noodles in the same day, he or she has already consumed too much sodium, and that's providing no additional table salt was added to any of his or her food throughout the day.
Consistently eating high-sodium foods can have serious health consequences, according to webmd.com, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
An article in Science Daily, a science research website, cites a recent study that estimates that, "reducing salt in the American diet by as little as one-half teaspoon per day could prevent nearly 100,000 heart attacks and

Unfortunately, limiting salt is no easy feat; salt is in virtually everything -- particularly those quick, convenient, go-to foods college students eat every day. However, it is possible for students to maintain a low-sodium lifestyle and eat quick-and-easy food that won't break their budget.
Planning and patience is key to reduce sodium consumption. Many common foods have ridiculously high sodium content, so it's important to read nutrition labels. When eating out — especially at fast food restaurants — check online for the nutrition facts before ordering. Even food that seems like a healthy choice can have high levels of sodium.
Cutting back on sodium is one of the easiest things students can do to improve their health.
Students should make lifestyle changes now, rather than waiting until their doctor diagnoses them with a disease related to their unsuspected cravings for sodium-laden foods.

Now most students are not going to die anytime soon from getting too much salt, but the fact is what we do with our health now can have serious consequences later in life.

Hazing commonplace code not taken seriously
I cannot begin to comprehend why it is a shock to anyone that hazing occurs in the fraternities on campus. Most students who would disagree with the notion would be lying. That being said what can a student expect when joining a fraternity? It is ironic to me that hazing can make front page news yet its occurrence is almost secondary information to the general student body. What is disturbing is the fact that it literally takes a pledge to break his neck in order for there to be any action taken against this nonsense. As for the University Hazing code, it is a joke. I do not know how anyone can be expected to take the code seriously when it takes only the harshest
of outcomes for a fraternity to be put under scrutiny. I jump to a conclusion when I say most students know what really goes on but let's face it, it is not a big jump to make. If one fraternity is being investigated for hazing it would be an appalling assumption to make that it is the only one in which hazing occurs. Get real. Maybe a campus wide investigation of all the fraternities should be held seeing as there is such a strict policy against it. Until then I, and I'm sure many other students, will never be able to take this policy seriously.

Frequent fire alarms draw ire from dorm's residents
Shower steam has caused alarms to go off four times since the start of the semester
BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com
Fire alarms have sent hundreds of residents of Hashinger Hall, 1632 Engel Rd, out into the parking lot five times this semester. According to a Lawrence Fire Department report, the alarm was pulled "maliciously" only once.
The other four alarms were set off by steam in the bathrooms. Hashinger resident Christian Sparrow, a freshman from Leawood, said the RAs have told them to keep the bathroom windows open to allow the steam to escape. Sparrow said it would be helpful if the RAs put up signs to remind residents to keep the windows open. Students often close the windows because it becomes cold in the bathrooms, he said.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of student housing, confirmed that the alarms were caused by steam. She said the situation was "under control."
Hashinger Hall was built in 1962 and renovated in 2006. During the renovation the dorm was outfitted
with a new mechanical, electrical and plumbing system. The dorm holds 358 students.
The report said the fire alarm in Hashinger Hall has been unintentionally set off nine times since last October.
"It's really annoying," said Jessica Doane, a freshman from Olathe. "It's always at the most awkward times. But it's because of the showers. We're not all smoking in here."
Doane said residents also get written up whenever an alarm goes off. She said their rooms are searched while they wait in the parking lot, and students who have alcohol, drugs or other prohibited items in their rooms are penalized.
Doane said one of her friends had covered their smoke alarm so he could smoke in his room. The cover was found and removed and the student was written up.
"Everybody gets in trouble when it happens." Doane said.
A firefighter, responding to a false alarm call, walks through a cloud of steam near Lewis Hall on Daisy Hill on January 31. False alarm calls have continued to be a problem this semester, especially for Hashinger Hall.

System to research students' learning process
BY ERIN BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
The U.S. Department of Education has given the largest grant in KU history — $22 million
to researchers at the University of Kansas. The grant will fund the development of a new assessment system for special education students.
The system, called the Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment System, is led by Neal Kingston, director of KU's
Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation.
By using the new system, teachers can determine how each student is learning by using a "learning map." The "learning map" details the thousands of skills students develop throughout their education in order to discover how students learn best.
"It's long been realized that when accountability is based on test scores, teachers will teach to the test," Kingston said in a press release. "The new system will turn
around that process and design tests to model good instruction — to be driven by and be part of instruction instead of a stand-alone activity."
"The Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation has been a
Departments of education in 11 other states will use the program beginning in the 2014-15 school year. These states include: Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
leader in the development of assessments for K-12 students for nearly 30 years," said Rick Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education, in the release. "This new grant is yet another example of CETE's leadership nationally in developing assessments to assist educators with innovative approaches for supporting teachers in working with all students regardless of their academic abilities."
In addition to the 11 participating states and the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation,
the dynamic Learning Maps consortium includes faculty from the Beach Center on Disability, Center for Research on Learning, Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis and Department
of Special Education.
Key external partners include AbleLink Technologies, the Arc, the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Edvantia.
Kingston said the new assessment model eventually could be used for all students.
"With this grant, the University of Kansas has an opportunity to improve the quality of education received by countless children," said Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little in the release. "By shaping the future of educational accountability, Neal Kingston and his team will help teachers better connect with students."

Lost wedding ring found in garden
SHELBY, Mont. — A Montana woman received a big surprise for her 80th birthday — the wedding ring she lost eight years ago. Norma Welker of Shelby told the Great Falls Tribune she took the ring off while she was arranging flowers cut from her garden.
A phone call distracted her while she cleaned up and she didn't realize the ring was missing until after her trash had been hauled away. She searched the compost pile with no luck and figured the ring was gone forever.
As a senior at Shelby High School in 2004, a shiny object caught his eye in the school parking lot. It was a $15,000 wedding ring that belonged to a teacher.
Nick Welker was tilling the area when he spotted what he thought was a pop top. He bent down to pick it up and found what looked like his grandmother's lost wedding ring.
Associated Press
This spring, she asked her grandson to till her garden so she could plant grass.
His parents confirmed his suspicion. They decided to surprise Norma Welker with the cleaned up ring for her 80th birthday.
It wasn't the first time Nick Welker recovered a lost wedding ring.

Preseason tradition serves to entertain attract new players

Come Friday, it's basketball season.
At 6:30 p.m. the doors will open for Late Night at the Phog, and the 2010-2011 Kansas basketball season will officially be under way. Freshmen guards Josh Selby and Royce Woolridge will step onto the Allen Fieldhouse court in front of 16,300 fans for the first time as lavihawks.
They can't wait.
"When Friday comes, at 6:30, oh yes, I'm going to be excited," Selby said.
Selby hasn't yet been cleared for games, so it will be fans' first, and maybe only, look at how he will fit with the team.
The team has had plenty of opportunities to play with each other. They spent the summer semester together. They've survived Bill Self's notorious boot camp. They've played countless games of pickup.
But Friday's different. Even for Brady Morningstar, a redshirt senior who will turn 25 this season, Late Night at the Phog is
something to look forward to.
"Yes," he said, throwing back his head and smiling. "I can't wait to get the season underway."
Morningstar said the team will do its traditional skit-and-dance routine, along with a scrimmage to close the night out. He wasn't sure what the seniors were going to have planned for the night though.
Late Night always serves as a big recruiting night for the Jayhawks, as well as an experience for the fans. This year is no different.
"It's big," Self said. "It's probably the biggest one we've had. It's an important weekend for us."
According to Rivals.com, the Jayhawks will have 12 potential recruits, includ-
committed to Kansas after visiting for Late Night in 2009. On his visit, the fans at Allen Fieldhouse gave a standing ovation to him and the other recruits.
The three 2011 recruits — No. 4 LeBryan Nash, No. 17 Ben McLemore and No. 76 Angelo Chol — would likely all compete for immediate playing time if they came to Kansas. Nash, in particular, is Kansas' best shot at signing a top-10 recruit in the class.
"When I came here I just saw the huge lines and all that type of stuff," Woolridge said. "I was like, 'Wow, this is real. This is amazing.' I came in here and the crowd was clapping and partying. It was just amazing, something that you'll never experience anywhere else."
"A lot of us came to Late Night, and that's mostly the main reason why most of us came here."

Now that Woolridge is part of the experience, he's looking forward to what he'll have to do.

We want to be better every day, so we're going to come in here and work like we want to win," said Taylor about the difference between this year's team and the one last year.

Scattered playing habits leave fans skeptical, hopeful
Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas crosses the goal line in front of three Kansas defenders during the Sunflower Showdown last season in Manhattan, which K-State won 17-10. The Jayhawks will host the Wildcats tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

The 2010 Kansas football team has been consistently inconsistent. When fans expected an easy win against North Dakota State, the team lost. When fans expected an overwhelming loss to Georgia Tech, the team pulled off the upset.
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
When the team headed to Waco, Texas, to open up Big 12 conference play, a Kansas loss would not have been a big surprise as the Bears were home favorites. The way the team lost, however, caused many to wonder how good (or bad) this team really is.
Fans hoping to find the team's identity in Thursday night's game might need to wait another week. First of all, strange things happen on Thursday night games in college football. There's no explanation for that.
More predictable is the stress factor that the team will surely face against K-State.
That rivalry is something that the players have been preparing for. Even sophomore safety Lubbock Smith, who hails from

ground zero next to the Jayhawks. Thursday night's winner will gain much needed momentum while the other will be left sitting in the depths of the Big 12 cellar.
Senior running back Daniel
Thomas will be a primary challenge for the Kansas defense. Thomas has racked up 691 rushing yards and six touchdowns so far this season, and coach Turner Gill has taken notice.
"We're not going to be able to stop him," he said. "We just need to slow him down."
Slowing down the nation's eighth-leading rusher could go a long way in securing Gill's first Sunflower Showdown victory. Nebraska was able to hold Thomas to just 63 yards on the ground, which proved it could be done.
When not focused on the running attack, senior cornerback Chris Harris hopes to cause turnovers while making K-State quarterback Carson Coffman's life miserable.
"Turnovers definitely come with getting pressure on the quarterback for one," Harris said. "We also need to make him make mistakes and confuse him all game."
That goal is attainable for the Kansas defense. K-State is last in the Big 12 in passing offense and Coffman is 11th in total passing yards this year.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webb had his own troubles in his week five start against Baylor, and the results were not pretty. His first Big 12 start ended with two interceptions and three sacks to go along with his measly 171 yards through the air. Gill said the Baylor game was definitely a setback for Webb. Against K-State, Gill

wants Webb and the offense to put up at least 28 points, something they've accomplished twice so far this season.
Kansas has shown it can bounce back from a tough loss and stop a powerful running attack similar to what they will see against the Wildcats.

Key to KU success is in tackles
BY NICHOLAS ROESLER
newsletter@hansan.com
If a team can tackle well, then it can bring down the foundation of its opponent.
Tomorrow, Kansas will face in-state rival Kansas State, a team with a 4-1 record and the nation's eighth-leading rusher, Daniel Thomas. As coach Turner Gill outlined in a press conference on Monday, a main key to the game is tackling.
Tackling drills: Put a helmet on the ball of the runner, wrap up and power through the runner.
During the bye week, scout running backs took an extra load of hits and turf burns as first-string defensive players worked on tackling drills. This was all in an effort to have less than 10 missed tackles against K-State.
Although there are no missed tackle numbers to reference, tackling has undeniably been an issue for the Kansas defense. Opponents have run on Kansas for a total of 938 yards in the first five games, which is just 10 yards less than the total number of pass yards against the Kansas defense. Whether that is due to missed tackles or missed assignments, the rushing numbers could be cut down with better execution of small details
Tackling is not a small detail. It is the foundation of defense. With every snap of the ball, the united goal of the defense is to get the guy on the ground. And although three teams have run for more than 200 yards against the Kansas defense this year, the team has shown the singular moments where the players show they can tackle.
Kansas must do the same. In the press conference on Monday, Gill focused on the importance of intensity on defense and creating turnovers, which all will stem from the first step of tackling well. When asked if the defense is more suited to suit a run first offensive attack, Gill showed some confidence in his teams ability to stop Thomas.
Now, the Wildcats are bringing a similar challenge to town. Thomas has rushed for 691 yards this season, which is already more than half of what he rushed for throughout all of last year. The tough Nebraska defense slowed him down for his lowest rushing total in a game last week with relentless tackling and hustle.
Against Georgia Tech, a team similar to K-State in its dependence on running, senior linebacker Justin Springer had 15 tackles, including three for a loss and a sack. The Kansas defense rose up to bring down the Georgia Tech running back and quarterback in a game that defined this season for the Jayhaws.
"It might be," Gill said, "just because of what has happened here in the first four or five ball games in what our defense has shown in being able to play the run maybe a little bit better than the pass."
If the defense can wrap up the legs of Thomas, which are essentially the foundation of the K-State offense, the Jayhawks might have a chance to bring down the house in this historic rivalry.

It's hard to forgive flaky Favre
MORNING BREW
Let's face it: Brett Favre is a prima donna who loves attention. And he finally got the shiny new toy that he wanted: Randy Moss. He wanted Moss so bad in Green Bay that when the Packers did not acquire him, Favre wanted to leave the team. Andrew Brandt, a writer for nationalfootballpost.com and former Packers' capologist, pointed out multiple times in his column that Favre announced his first retirement the day after Moss inked a three-year deal extending his time in New England.
Growing up, I used to dread the day my childhood hero would retire, and wonder about the dark days that would surely accompany his departure. Thankfully, the Packers have found a very capable replacement and their future looks bright. But through the whole ordeal I have to give credit to my dad for giving me some of the best advice on Favre through the years.
After Favre's last game as a Packer, the bitterly cold January 2008 NFC championship game against the Giants, my dad rightly remarked that in the second half Favre did not look like he wanted to be out there, his old body no longer able to handle the cold. He said how Favre would go straight to the sideline and bundle up while the much younger Eli Manning looked more willing to go out there and compete.
BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
He then said he would be surprised if Favre played more than one more year of football because at the time, we assumed he would retire as a Packer and wouldn't dare join the rival Vikings. We all know what happened next. Favre was traded to the Jets, struggled down the stretch in the cold, and then retired. After his realease, he signed a two-year deal with the Vikings.
Now there were always reports that Favre was angry with general manager Ted Thompson for not going out and getting an impact-free agent and choosing to build through the draft instead. And I was always a little angry with him for this because I believed the Packers had a great group of wide receivers to throw to. And even though I would have welcomed the signing of Moss, I was worried that it might hinder the development of the younger guys like Greg Jennings.

In the end, I believe Ted Thompson did the right thing standing up to Favre. In the NFL no individual player is bigger than the team, even if he has thrown more than 500 touchdown passes. So good for you Brett, I'm glad you finally got what you always wanted. Although I will always cherish the 16 great years you have given me, I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive you for the slights you have taken toward the Green Bay organization since your departure. And no, I will never be cheering for you again.

Rays force Game 5 on Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas — David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays worked hard all season to earn home-field advantage in the AL playoffs.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This time, they need to make use of it if they want to keep playing.
Tampa Bay forced a deciding Game 5 in the division series against the Texas Rangers with
a 5-2 victory Sunday. The Rays avoided elimination twice on the road after losing the first two at Tropicana Field, setting up the chance for an improbable comeback.
"I feel a little better than 50-50 going home at this point," said Evan Longoria, who homered and had two doubles in Game 4. "We've really battled to get back to even."
Price, the Rays' 19-game winner, takes the mound Tuesday night against Rangers ace Cliff Lee in a rematch of the Game 1 starters.

Nationally-ranked Baylor defense awaits Jayhawks
Kansas is coming off a big victory over ISU
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The volleyball team will take the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week with them against Baylor's nationally ranked defense. The Jayhawks go to Waco, Texas, tonight after upsetting No. 10 Iowa State in Lawrence.
Senior defensive specialist Melissa Manda earned the weekly honor after recording a career-high 32 digs Saturday, which equals the most for a Big 12 player this year.
Manda said the whole team was "really, really happy" about Saturday's win.
"We've been playing really well at home lately," she said, "so we know that we could just step up our game and push back a little bit and that we'd have it."
The Jayhawks have fared better at home (9-2) than away (1-4). They improved Saturday to 12-6 overall and 3-4 in conference play. Manda said the team would try to keep its
Bears' offense hit for a .333 efficiency Saturday (Kansas averages 2.02) with eight different players combining to rack up 47 kills. But the Bears defense may present the bigger challenge.

"For some reason, we haven't been able to find the fire that we have at home..."
"For some reason, we haven't been able to find the fire that we have at home, so we need to take that with us. I guess."
Baylor's defense leads the NCAA in digs, averaging per set. That's three more than Nebraska, their nearest competitor in the Big 12. Baylor defensive specialist Caitlyn Trice leads the Big 12 in digs with an average of 5.32 per set, while outside hitter and libero Allison King takes seventh in the league with 4.04.
"Whether it's three games or five games, just playing consistently and not falling behind or being so up and down," she said. "It felt like we were in a rhythm tonight."
Baylor, like Kansas, is 3-4 in conference play after sweeping Colorado on Saturday. The Bears are having more success on the road (5-2) than at home (3-4). The

Manda is the second Kansas player this season to take
Player of the Week honors. The league named Brianne Riley, also a defensive specialist, Rookie of the Week on Sept. 20. Riley has remained on the sidelines since a minor head injury at Colorado two weeks ago. Coach Ray Bechard said that Riley would return to play when she was able to and that he was pleased with how Manda had come through for the team.
Sophomore middle blocker Taylor Tolefree follows through on a kill in Kansas' upset over No. 10 Iowa State. The Jayhawks face a Baylor defense tonight that leads the NCAA in digs per set.

Better offense expected on Friday
BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com
This weekend, the soccer team hopes to put their disappointment from last weekend's losses behind. The team will to Lubbock, Texas on Friday to take on Texas Tech (9-5-1 overall, 2-3-1 conference) and come back home to challenge the Baylor Bears (9-5-1, 2-4) on Sunday.
Kansas is currently sitting at the bottom of the Big 12 conference with a 1-5 record. Coach Mark Francis knows that his team hasn't made things easy with their poor start.
"I told the players today, we have four games left. We can still win all four games and still be in good shape," he said.
This weekend offers an opportunity for the team to get a few wins against teams in the middle of the pack in the Big 12 standings. So far the Jayhaws have been up against some of the best in the Big 12. Out of the six conference games Kansas has played, four have been against teams in the top five of the standings.
Francis said that Friday's game will be an important sign as to how the team finishes out the season.
"We have to go into Friday's game knowing that right now our season is hinging on us getting the result," he said.
Senior forward Kaitlyn Cunningham also said a win on Friday is important in getting the team back on the same page.
"Right now we aren't necessarily
down, just a little out of it having two losses this past weekend," she said. "We need to get back in the swing of things."
Cunningham, a team captain, said that she has responsibility to lead the underclassmen and keep them positive.
Francis said the main factor in whether or not Kansas would have a successful weekend would be scoring when given the opportunity.
"We have got to do a better job with the chances that we create and putting them away" he said.
On Tuesday, the team practiced on a shorter field, with an emphasis on scoring goals and working on finishing around the goal. Cunningham notices the team's need to get better in this facet of the game.
"Ultimately we need to score goals. That has kind of been our plague right now," she said.
Granted, without a good defensive game it won't matter how many goals they score, but Francis feels the defense has been solid overall.
"Defensively we have done a pretty good job for the most part," he said. "When we have made mistakes we have gotten punished for it, and in the Big 12 that's what happens against good teams."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

It didn't take long for the Huskers to quiet the crowd and turn the 95th and potentially final meeting between the longtime rivals last week into a rout.
Colorado? The Big 12's other lame duck program is on the verge of going out on a much more silent note.
DES MOINES, Iowa — No. 5 Nebraska got a raucous welcome at Kansas State as they faced the Wildcats for the last time as a Big 12 opponent.
Nebraska is off to a fantastic start in its final Big 12 tour before joining the Big Ten next year. The Huskers (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) blew out Kansas State 48-13 and have things clicking on both sides of the ball heading into a huge date with Texas this weekend.
All the noise in the world didn't bother Nebraska, which easily survived its first of two road games against Big 12 North opponents. The Huskers also visit Iowa State in early November.
"I wear headsets and don't hear the noise, but I'm sure it was — at least, until we finished laying eggs — I think it was probably quite vocal," Kansas State coach Bill Snver said.
The Buffalofoes' final conference trip to Missouri was a dud.
The 21st-ranked Tigers (5-0, 1-0) shut out Colorado 26-0, capping their rivalry with the Buffs with five straight wins by a combined score of 203-40.
Colorado had bounced back from a 52-7 loss at future Pac-12 rival California with wins over Hawaii and Georgia. But the Bucks lost their 13th straight road game against the Tigers on the 20th anniversary of the infamous "fifth down" game at Faurot Field.
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said he didn't think the atmosphere in Columbia was any crazier than usual. The bigger issue for the Buffers (3-2, 0-1) is Missouri's defense, which handed Colorado just its second shutout in 262 games.
"We're playing good team defense," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "We're getting better each week, and with a lot of the little things, attention to detail things that we needed to do."
Nebraska handled its final Big 12 road opener in impressive fashion, rolling over the Wildcats behind another brilliant performance from freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez.
Martinez, who was named the Big 12' 12' offensive player of the week, ran for 241 yards and threw for 128 more, leading the Huskers on four scoring drives that took five plays or less.
"He's more than just a young guy that can run fast," Snyder said. "We created some opportunities for him to showcase his speed and he took full advantage of it each and every time. I think he's a very talented player."

Jayhawks focus on turnover opportunities
Bye week offers time for perfecting plays

Forcing fumbles is not as easy for the team to practice, but more a matter of players making the most out of opportunities.

This Saturday the men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Indiana to compete in the NCAA Pre-Nationals Invitational. This meet will have more competition than the Jayhawks have faced in their past meets.
There will be a total of 70 colleges from across the country. The race will be held at two different locations because there are numerous colleges
Sophomore Natalie Becker, who had a breakout race at the last meet in Wisconsin, thinks that the time and effort that the women Jayhawks spent practicing will be put to good use this upcoming weekend. During their two-week break they have increased the work outs and communicated more thoroughly about the goals of Pre-Nationals, she said.
"In workouts we're supposed to work together and feed off of each other," Becker said.
Sophomore Tessa Turcotte arees with Becker.
"Our team is really close and we do a lot of things together," Turcotte said. "We are trying to remain positive and keep a happy attitude during our practices."

"Our strategies mainly are getting out fast during our first mile and pack running," Turcotte said.
"We also don't want to freak out because it is a big race."
As for the men's team they have been trying to keep an upbeat attitude with competition. Junior Austin Bussing, one of the three captains, believes that communication and pack running is the key to doing well in their next meet.
"I expect our race to be an indication of our resiliency because after the Wisconsin meet a lot of our guys, including myself, felt beat up." Bussing said. "The whole season is a test of our resolve as a team and I think that we are finally going to
do what we are capable of doing.
We've been knocked down but I believe that this upcoming meet will be one of those getting back up meets."

James scored 22 points in 26 minutes before leaving with leg cramps in the third quarter, Chris Bosh added 17 points and eight rebounds, and the Heat overcame an early 10-point deficit to beat the Euroleague powerhouse 96-85 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.
"I'm fine," said James, who will travel with the Heat to New Orleans but is not expected to play Wednesday — which the two-time reigning MVP revealed postgame was the Heat plan even before the cramping issue. "I can be ready to play the next game if I needed to play."
Former Duke star Trajan Langdon scored 20 for CSKA Moscow, which got 17 from Jamon Gordon and 15 from Ramunas Siskauskas.
It took a 23-4 run in the third quarter — with James and Bosh combining for 19 of those points
— for Miami to create any sort of comfort zone over their Russian guests, who will also face Oklahoma City and Cleveland on their NBA preseason tour before returning to Moscow early next week.
"Second half, we just concentrated on doing our jobs, doing what we do, doing it with effort and doing it right, doing it how we've been trying to do it since training camp," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "And our focus and commitment was better."
This one wasn't decided until the final minutes.

Langdon's jumper with 4:15 remaining cut Miami's lead to five, but the heat answered with four quick points. Kenny Hasbrouck — fighting for a roster spot — found Udonis Haslem for a layup on the next Miami possession, then added a driving layup in transition for a 90-81 lead.
Hasbrouck finished with 12 points and four assists for Miami, as his long shot bid to make the team might have received a boost.

Miami played again without Dwyane Wade, who is continuing to recover from a strained right hamstring suffered in the preseason opener on Oct. 5. Mike Miller started in his place again for the Heat, who were also without Carlos Arroyo and Jamaal Magloire, neither of whom is expected to be back when Miami visits New Orleans on Wednesday.

James reached for his right hamstring with 3.51 left in the third quarter, walking with a bit of a limp on the floor and then quickly through the tunnel toward the Miami locker room. He was followed moments later by Wade, who emerged moments later smiling — a good sign.
Alas, there was some big-time angst until the diagnosis came.

Bosh took a lob pass from James and scored 15 seconds into the game. The lead — Miami's only edge of the half — didn't last, and the visitors weren't the least bit intimidated, either.
By the midway point of the opening quarter, it was 13-6. When Siskauskaua hit a jumper with 4:24 left, CSKA Moscow stretched its edge to 17-7. And after James hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 34 with 4:16 remaining until halftime, the Russian club peeled off the next seven points, all from the foul line, five of them coming from Langdon.
At halftime, the lead was 44-39 Eventually, James decided enough was enough.
His acrobatic layup with 8.38 left in the third, while getting fouled, put Miami ahead 50-49. On the ensuing CSKA possession, James got a steal on the right wing, then found Miller for a left-handed layup and a three-point lead that had the Russian club quickly calling for a timeout.
James hit a free throw with 3.53 left, giving Miami a 63-53 lead two seconds before he departed. Miami led the rest of the way.

Iowa State Cyclones
Prior win not enough for Iowa to triumph Utah
BY JAKE LOVETT Iowa State University
Riding high after a 14-point win over Texas Tech, Iowa State (3-3, 1-1 Big 12) fell to No. 10 Utah (5-0, 2-0 Mountain West) 68-27 at lack Trice Stadium.
The Utes came in as the 10th-ranked team in the country, but only as six point favorites over the Cyclones. Iowa State got its first two scores off of Utah turnovers to take the 14-10 lead. After the first ISU touchdown, Utah got a field goal and forced an ISU three-and-out.
Arnaud struggled to 13 of 31 passing for 178 yards and two touchdowns, but he also was sacked and threw two interceptions. The ISU offense was held to 348 total yards and was unable to convert any of its 11 third-down tries.
"We played right into their hands," Arnaud said.
in bad positions to keep Utah out of the end zone. The Cyclones' defense allowed 15 first downs in the quarter, and it's regular "bend-dont-break" style yielded four drives ending in the end zone.
Klein was tied with safety David Sims, who forced both of Utah's turnovers, for the team lead in stops with 10 each.
When the ISU offense came off of the field in the second quarter, the defense was put
In the end, though, the unit gave up 28 first downs and 593 yards and allowed Utah to convert eight of 13 third downs. Following three straight home games and the loss to Utah, Iowa State now takes to the road for two consecutive weeks, traveling to No. 6 Oklahoma and to Austin, Texas, to face the Longhorns.
The game with Oklahoma will be the Cyclones third straight against a team coming off of a bye week.

Tigers continue to win
BY JOHN MONTESANTOS University of Missouri
Missouri continued its recent rout of Colorado with the commanding win; the Tigers have beaten the Buffaloes in the past four years by a combined margin of 175 to 27. The Missouri offense was slow to start as the sun set on Faurot Field, with their only points through twenty minutes of play coming from a safety and a field goal. It took a run off of a fake punt for the Tigers to get into the red zone and score. Sophomore punter Trey Barrow was second in rushing for the Tigers with the 26-vard run after thefake.
The Missouri football team moved to 5-0 Saturday with a 26-10 win over visiting Colorado The shutout victory came in the fourth-straight home game and the first conference contest for the Tigers.
printed them deep.
"It was a huge drive," Coach Gary Pinkel said.
"We were struggling. That was a huge moment drive right before halftime. Score-wise that really separated us."
After Colorado continued to stall the running game, Missouri finally put together a good scoring drive with time ticking down in the first half. Junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert and company took the ball 97 yards for the score after a punt pinned them deep.
really separated us.
Saturday's game fulfilled Missouri's 2010 tendency of spotty offense and steadfast defense. The defense and special teams shined in the victory, blocking both a punt and a field goal as well as earning the shutout. Senior linebacker Andrew Gachark led the red zone stand in the final minutes to keep the shutout.
"We love the goose egg on the board," Gachkar said. "They came down at the very end of the game and wanted that touchdown. We didn't like that in our house so we knew we had to stop them."
At one point in the second half, Gabbert fumbled to give the Buffaloes the ball at the Tiger 13-yard line. The defense forced Colorado backwards into a 40-yard field goal try, which they blocked.
Although it was the first shutout of the season for the Tigers, the inconsistent offense still leaves the team with much room for improvement. Come-from-behind wins over Illinois and San Diego State and underachieving against Colorado might leave a bad taste in their mouths for the rest of their schedule.
After a stagnant third quarter for both sides, freshman quarterback James Franklin resurrected the Tiger offense. Franklin stepped in for an injured Gabbert who came out with a hip pointer and didn't return. Franklin found junior tight end Michael Egnew in the back of the end zone for the first passing touchdown of his Missouri career. The touchdown catch was Egnew's second of the day to go with his 52 yards on six receptions.
Next up for the Tigers is their first away game at No.17 Texas A&M on Oct.16. The Aggies are 3-2 and come off a close loss to Arkansas last week.
"Any 5-0 is better than no 5-0" junior wide receiver Wes Kemp said. "A win is a win, especially when you get into conference play."

Arrests don't slow down Texas Tech's offense
BY CHRIS DERRETT
Baylor University
In Saturday's Cotton Bowl contest with 1,142 combined yards of total offense, Baylor fell on the losing side to Texas Tech, 45-38. Robert Griffin set a new career mark with 384 passing yards, but the Bears' late comebell fall short.
"We came to win, it didn't happen. It doesn't mean we are going to lose any of our hope, faith, drive or determination," coach Art Briles said.
Prince Kent intercepted Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts late in the third quarter at the Red Raiders' 40-yard line. The Bears took eight plays to score and narrow the deficit to 45-38, 49 seconds into the fourth quarter.
After exchanging punts with the Red Raiders, Baylor drove to Texas Tech's 21-yard line and nearly tied the game before Kendall Wright let a pass slip through his hands in the end zone. The resulting 4th and 15 play proved unsuccessful.
Although the defense forced one final Texas Tech punt, the Bears stalled at midfield and ended the game with Josh Gordon being tackled at the 31.
Gordon, who was arrested Sunday on charges of misdemeanor marijuana possession, entered the game in the second quarter. His first catch of the day was a 34-yard touchdown on a sideline route he has used throughout the season toward five touchdowns. He finished with five receptions for 96 yards.
Tight end Willie Jefferson, who was also arrested with Gordon, did not see any playing time Saturday.
Texas Tech's lead grew as large as 45-28 after Baron Batch caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from Potts in the third quarter. The drive, 12 plays and 84 yards in 3:05, was one of many the Red Raiders sustained as Baylor struggled to slow Potts' offense.
The Red Raiders finished with 35 first downs and 635 yards of total offense, the first time
Baylor has allowed 600 or more yards in a game since Texas Tech totaled 682 in 2006.
Griffin completed 31 of 42 passes for two touchdowns, and the Bears totaled 507 yards of total offense. Neither team could gain the defensive upper hand in the first half, as evidenced by each team scoring three touchdowns within the game's first 17 minutes.
"We had a couple of three and outs when we
The Bears defense did not stiften until late in the game. Prior to Kent's interception, Baylor forced only one Texas Tech punt on the day. It caused another three in the fourth quarter, but Griffin and the offense could not capitalize.
Despite being outgained by 151 yards and being more than doubled up on first downs, the Bears entered halftime down only a touchdown thanks in part to some timely plays and fortune. With just over a minute left in the half, Wright caught a pass from Griffin, shed a tackle and ran for a 62-yard score pulling Baylor within 35-28.
could not afford to have them. When the game is that way you have to score when you have the ball offensive" Biles said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
After the Red Raiders responded to Baylor's first touchdown with their own 80 yard touchdown, they tried to catch Baylor off guard with an onside kick. The kick failed to travel 10 yards, and as players from both teams momentarily stared at the ball on the field, Terrance Ganaway scooped it and ran 38 yards for a 14-7 Baylor lead.
Antonio Johnson aided Baylor's third scoring drive by snagging a 34-yard fake punt pass on fourth down from quarterback Brody Trahan. Griffin later found Gordon for Gordon's lone touchdown Saturday and a 21-14 lead. But a quick Red Raider march, helped by missed tackles, saw Batch rumble 37 yards for a 21-21 tie. Texas Tech forced a Baylor three-and-out and a four-play drive en route to building a 35-21 lead before Wright's 62-yard.

Weak running game prevents Wildcat win
BY ASHLEY DUNKAK Kansas State University
The Wildcats used senior running back Daniel Thomas on eight of 10 plays to start their first drive of the game, only to turn the ball over on downs and then allow Nebraska to score on its first possession.
Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez and running backs Roy Helu, Jr., and Rex Burkhead combined for 188 yards. Martinez scored both the Hiskers' rushing touchdowns in the first half, including a 35-yard spurt into the end zone. Both times, he walked in. Senior running back Daniel Thomas had only 45 yards on 16 carries, putting his average at slightly under three yards per rush. Senior running back William Powell had one rush for six yards; sophomore fullback Braden Wilson had one for one, and senior quarterback Carson Coffman contributed zero net yards on four carries. The Wildcats had more yards passing than they did rushing in the first half.
In the second quarter, K-State shot itself in the foot with penalties. On the drive on which Martinez eventually burst out for that 35-yard touchdown run, the Wildcats had two offsides penalties: one that Nebraska declined to keep its 16-yard gain on that play, and another that nullified a tackle for negative seven yards by sophomore defensive end Brandon Harold.
K-State defensive end Antonio Felder said in a press conference that the Wildcats had to stop big plays when they played Nebraska. They did the exact opposite, allowing touchdowns of 35 yards, 80 yards, 68 yards and 79 yards in the third quarter alone. In the fourth quarter, Wildcats finally managed to get into the end zone, but only on fourth down after having first and goal at the Nebraska oneyard line. Snyder had a frank assessment of the game.
the game. "We didn't run the ball very well, we didn't throw it extremely well, we didn't play defense against the run or the pass very well," he said.
A M Texas A&M Aggies
First-half strength carries A&M through the game
ARLINGTON, Texas — Ryan Mallett got off to a great start, looking right at home in an NFL stadium. He might've gone home awfully disappointed, though, if Tramain Thomas didn't snatched an interception in the end zone on the game's final play. Mallett threw three touchdown passes in the first half, but failed to build on it and No. 11 Arkansas ended up needing to hold on for a 24-17 victory over Texas A&M at Boys Stadium on Saturday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
He did, and the Razor-backs (4-1) came away with a much-needed win between a home loss to No. 1 Alabama and a trip to No. 8 Auburn.
"I tried to knock it down against Georgia and they almost caught it, so I had it in my mindset that I was going up to get the ball." Thomas said.
Arkansas had several chances to put the game away early, between leading 21-7 with 53 seconds left in the first half and recovering three fumbles inside the Aggies' 40-yard line. They just couldn't do it. They got only one field goal out of the turnovers, missing another and botching a fake. Mallett was bottled up by a defense that took away his deep routes. A&M (3-2) sacked him three times; hed gone down only six all season. One came from Von Miller, who led the nation with 17 last season but had been shut out so far this season. The Aggies only had five sacks coming in.
"We're not used to not executing like that," Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. "They put a lot of pressure on you with their different looks. They threw a couple spin looks in, where they look like they were bringing up one side and brought it the other."
"Regardless of people saying, 'Well, you played a good game,' we can't accept that."
"Regardless of people saying, 'Well, you
The Aggies were coming off a tough loss, too, a wild game at Oklahoma State blown by five turnovers. A&M wound up giving the ball away four times — the fourth straight game that happened. Yet quarterback Jerrod Johnson squeezed in enough big plays to keep things interesting all the way to the end.
played a good game,'we can't accept that," Aggies coach Mike Sherman said.
On the final drive, Johnson converted a third-and-10 and a fourth-and-14. A pass interference penalty put A&M on the Arkansas 39 with 6 seconds left, setting up the dramatic last play. He was aiming for Jeff Fuller, which only made sense. Fuller caught eight passes for 154 yards, including a 69-yarder and a 31-yard touchdown.
MIKE SHERMAN
Texas A&M Coach
Johnson finished 15 of 40 for 212 yards. John came in with eight interceptions in his last six quarters. His only interception
this time was on the final play.
"I'd be lying to say that he didn't internalize a little pressure on himself to make sure he didn't have any miscues with the football, but it didn't take away his aggressiveness," Sherman said. "He read things very well and made good decisions and made
some big-time throws."
But not of Mallett's caliber. Built like a prototype NFL quarterback, he played like it, too, at first — opening the game with an 80-yard drive, capped by a 9-yard touchdown pass to loe Adams, then bouncing back from an interception to hit Cobi Hamilton on a 71-yard touchdown pass that was so well done it could become the centerpiece of his Heisman Trophy promotional campaign. Whatever adjustments A&M made after that, Arkansas was unable to figure them out.
Mallett threw for 132 yards in the first quarter, then just 178 the rest of the game. His total of 310 marked the fifth time he's cracked 300 this season, already tying the full-season record he set last year. He completed 27 of 38 passes.
Knile Davis ran for a career-high 82 yards, including a 45-yard burst on the opening drive. Broderick Green added 58 yards, but the SEC's worst rushing attack never scared A&M enough to loosen up the passing lanes for Mallett. This is the second game in a 10-year series between these schools at the stadium built by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, an Arkansas alum. His Razorbacks won 47-19 last year.

Beneficial bye for Texas
University of Texas
BY JORDAN GODWIN
With half of campus wearing its Austin City Limits Music Festival hipster costumes and the other half actually using the weekend to study, it was a quiet Saturday at the University of Texas. Fingernails got some relief from the relentless biting of the past two weeks and not one squirrel on campus had his home crushed by a drunken tailgater. The best news was for the first time in three weekends — the mighty Texas Longhorns did not lose a football game.
This is what Texas has to look forward to in next weekend's game. Anyone who has ever seen on vacation can understand what the Longhorns might be feeling — it's nice to be away from work, but you dread going back. Do the Longhorns dread playing Nebraska? No.
The bye week provided a great opportunity for the Longhorns to regroup and take a break from the rocky season they've had. Some of them relaxed, some of them went home to see their families and some just laid low in Austin. Hopefully on this past Thursday night, some of them witnessed the red machine that is fifth-ranked Nebraska. If the Cornhuskers are half is dominant as they were in the 48-13 blowout of Kansas State, the Longhorns are in trouble. Although some Texas students were betting on Kansas State to expose a hint of weakness, there were no surprises.
The players and coaches believe they are much better than what the polls say the
Forget the Oklahoma rivalry game. Forget the UCLA debacle. If the Longhorns can prepare themselves this week to take down Nebraska, they can at least reestablish their own confidence. Heck, maybe they can even squeak back into those silly polls that everyone gets so excited about. What is it, CBS? BCS? Something like that.
unranked team is. Fans and students seem to be under the same trance. It has simply been too long since coach Mack Brown was outside of the top 25 looking in. If Brown and the rest of the 2010 Longhorns believe they deserve any respect for the rest of the season, let them prove it. They take pride in having some of the toughest game-week preparations in the country, so let them prove it. They're confident they have the best group of talent in the Big 12 Conference, so let them prove it.
But in truth, the Longhorns aren't just playing against Nebraska this weekend. They're also playing for Brown's legacy. The coach who once brought greatness back to Texas is fighting against his own demise with this game. He hasn't lost three straight games since 1999, his second season in Austin, and you better believe his streak of nine straight 10-win seasons is in jeopardy. If he falls too hard this year, his recruiting and the talent pool at Texas will be affected for seasons to come. For nearly a decade, winning has been contagious for Brown and Texas, but his sickly Longhorns might be destined to learn that losing can spread just as fast.

AT A GLANCE
Before last Thursday's game against Nebraska, Kansas State looked to head into Lawrence as heavy favorites. After their 48-13 home loss to the Huskers, Bill Snyder and his Wildcats come to Lawrence with questions of their own. K-State has yet to play a true road game this season.

QUESTION MARKS
Statistically, Jordan Webb had his worse game of the year as a starter against Baylor. He threw for a mere 171 yards with two interceptions, doubling his interception total from his first three starts. He also had a career low 57 percent passing with three sacks. Will the young quarterback bounce back from adversity and upset Kansas State on Thursday night?

OFFENSE
Quarterback Jordan Webb is quickly moving up the list for Kansas freshman passing yards. He currently sits at fourth place, 419 yards away from breaking the school record held by Mario Kinsey. He looks to bounce back after a lackluster performance in week fifth against Baylor where he threw two interceptions and was sacked three times.

The Wildcats had been cruising until they ran into a buzzsaw last week at home against Nebraska. Nebraska however, is a national championship contending team and I doubt the Jayhawks will fair any better against them in a few weeks. Kansas State has a Hiesman Trophy candidate in running back Daniel Thomas. They also have one of the best coaches in college football. The Jayhawks have been extremely volatile at home and I still expect Snyder will have his team better prepared to rebound after a tough loss than Gill will.

Gill's rules could scare off recruits
Before jumping on this Kansas team for its 55-7 loss to Baylor two weeks ago, remember that it's not always the players who are the problem. Instead, the issue here is not necessarily about Turner Gill's Jayhawks taking a backhand slap from Texas' stepchild of a university like they were Rocky Balboa's personal punching bag. Instead it's become a possible imposed image problem that Gill will now have to deal with every time he and his coaching staff venture out on the recruiting trail.
AARON BERLIN
Guest columnist
Gill came to Kansas with the intention of not only turning this lackluster football program into a national powerhouse, but also turning young men from rough neighborhoods into better human beings. I mean, who could blame the former Heisman candidate for wanting to turn his athletes into more than just pieces of meat, but actually attempt to give them a future outside of football and this university?
Unfortunately, that's not how most 18 year-olds think when they are choosing their college of choice. Gill, who has now not only placed bans on cell-phone use but has also restricted the visitation rights of females after the 10 o'clock hour, rules that not only are embarrassing for the players and University, but make this Kansas program even less attractive for potential recruits and more embarrassing than the failed Gridiron Club.
In all fairness, there is a case to be made for these
rules being enforced. The problem is they become hard to justify after a beating by a team that is usually seen as the Big 12's southern version of Iowa State.
The only way to justify these new "house" rules would be an attempt for Kansas to put a more polished and focused team out on the field. After all, player focus has been a major concern for this team in their first four games. At Baylor, even with the new rules these Jayhawks looked more lost and less inspired than ever allowing Baylor's Robert Griffin to pass for over 380 yards as well rush for 64 more.
Maybe Gill should take some of his own advice and abide by the rules he has implemented for his players. Gill was not only masterfully out-coached by Art Briles, but also looked as if he was experiencing a metaphorical hangover from the New Mexico State
game that might have elevated expectations to an unlikely high.
Friday night marks the beginning of basketball season and, let's face it, once Late Night in the Phog rolls around most students as well as alumni will shift all their attention from the limping football program to the high-flying championship-winning and less embarrassing (as long as Tyshawn Taylor plays by his new Twitter rules, but that's another column) basket-ball team.
The only way for Gill and this team to stay in the spotlight is by fixing its current image problem. That not only starts by being competitive on the field, but by also making smart decisions on the sidelines Thursday night against a Kansas State team that just got tossed to the side by Nebraska like they were yesterday's old corn cobs.
The jury remains out and Thursday a win could go a long ways and perhaps send a shock wave of hope through this fan base that otherwise will start looking forward to another possible Big 12 championship in basketball, not football. While a win Thursday will heal some of the exposed wounds against Baylor, the only way for Kansas to fix its image problem is through recruiting and finding players that will cope with the the rules of first year coach Gill.

Baylor outplays Kansas in every way possible Bears' explosive energy steamrolled the Jayhawks, embarrasses team
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
The Bears showed them off Saturday, shellacking the Jayhawks 55-7. Sophomore receiver Josh Gordon will haunt Jayhawks fans for a while with his four-catch, 161-yard performance. One of his two touchdowns came off a short pass that turned into a 94-yard burst. And what can you say about Baylor's defense? It dismantled any momentum Kansas had coming into that game, picking off freshman quarterback Jordan Webb twice and sacking him three times. Freshman defensive end Tevin Elliot had two of the sacks, broke up two passes and forced a fumble. The sturdy Jayhawk running game that exploded against New Mexico State was held to 99 yards on 37 carries. That's a 2.7 average. Nothing doing for the Jayhawks on any side of the ball. Still, no one was as impressive as RG3.
"There's a lot of really good football players at Baylor University," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "Everybody knows Robert Griffin."
During the Big 12 Football Media Days this summer, Baylor didn't bring along quarterback Robert Griffin III. It would have been nice to do a feature on one of the most talented players in the Big 12 coming off an injury. Instead, Baylor coach Art Briles wanted the attention spread out among his players.
"I don't know how many players had a touchdown or a big play today, but it was a
"It was just one of those days where everything fell into place," Griffin said, "and I'm glad it was for us."
Well, Robert, you had four - three in the air, one on the ground. The 380 passing yards was a career high and the 94-yard pass to Gordon was a Baylor record. There's more.
lot," Griffin said.
The Jayhawks fell to 2-3 on the season, though it seems worse than it is. The wins have been good while the losses have been gut-wrenching.
Griffin added 64 rushing yards, etching his name in the school record books with 444 offensive yards, the most by any individual. He came out after the third quarter, so his day could have been more breathtaking.Not to mention, the team had 678 offensive yards in the game, also a Baylor record. The Bears have never won a Big 12 game by more than 28 points.The 48-point margin of victory was the largest in school history.
Everyone knows Big 12 competition is a different animal. But these Bears were ridiculous in this one. What were the Jayhawks going to do? What was any team going to do? Sometimes the opposing team is just destined to win. Baylor was that team on Saturday.
Kansas senior safety Olaitan Oguntodu put this game into perspective for everyone: "It is embarrassing."

OBITUARY
Student's humor, kindness stood out
BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com
He was the kind of guy who would break into an Irish jig just to make his friend Maggie laugh, or burst into an infectious giggle when his family called him by his nickname, Furby. Daniel Jacob Henry, better known as lake, was a KU senior from Edwardsville. He was the kind of guy everyone called "friend."
"Jake had an inside joke with just about everyone," said Cameron Buck, a senior from Edwardsville. "Everyone liked Jake."

Jake and his girlfriend of seven years, Stephanie Conn,
died Oct. 10 after his 2002 Saturn Sedan was hit in a head-on collision on Kansas Highway 32.
Losing a'perfect'couple
The two, who were voted cutest couple while at Bonner Springs High School, were known for their close and healthy relationship.
"We all just assumed that they'd get married and have freakin' cute kids," said Maggie Hackney, an Edwardsville resident.
Stephanie Marie Conn, 22, and Daniel 'Take' Henry, 21, were remembered at a funeral service in Bonner Springs on Friday morning. The couple started dating in the seventh grade.

"Forever 22."
At those words, the chapel, filled to capacity with family and friends, shook with sobs at the funeral of Stephanie Marie Conn and Daniel "Jake" Henry in Bonner Springs. The two died in a car accident Oct. 10 and were remembered Friday morning.
The entrance to the church showcased Stephanie's guitar, lake's

Stephanie's charcoal sketches of
faces and Jake's hockey mask.

table - a bulletin board that could

Stephanie and Jake had known each other since the fifth grade, Colerick said. Jake's family remembered hearing a young voice on the phone and watching a young Jake blush bright red as he took the phone to another room.
"She and lake were perfect together and I'm happy they're together now," she said.
Stephanie's room just a short while ago.
The families asked that people who wanted to send flowers would instead contribute to the Jacob Henry and Stephanie Conn Scholarship Funds. But some must have chosen to do both, because the front of the church was alive with hundreds of flowers.
The two began dating in the seventh grade.
"She and Jake were perfect together and I'm happy they're together now."
"We had so looked forward to watching you and Steffy got married
Pastor Margi Colerick of the First Christian Church of Bonner Springs spoke for both families as she read the eulogies of the Jake, 21, and Stephanie, 22.
Colerick quoted Stephanie's grandmother, Evelyn Conn, who had dinner with Stephanie on the evening of the crash.

and build a family together," said the Henry family in the ecology.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little called them "two bright young people." She stood in the
back of the chapel, amid many more friends who couldn't find seats, wiping her eyes.
Jake was, among other things, a big brother to Collin Henry, a senior at Bonner Springs High. In Jake's eulogy, members of the Henry family said Jake had recently written to his mother, thanking her for raising him the right way. He said he was so happy to have been born into his family.
Jake and Stephanie were on their way back to the University on Oct. 10 when the accident occurred. The couple studied hard, watched KU sports, laughed a lot and loved each other.
Stephanie's aunt Cindy Conn
remembered a shopping trip with Stephanie when she was a child. Stephanie asked about death. Cindy told her although you can't see or touch those who have died you can still talk to them. Stephanie and her aunt were soon having an in-depth

Woman's laughter could fill the room
BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com
When Stephanie Marie Conn lived in Oliver Hall, the R.A. on her floor often had to ask her not to laugh so loudly. Her laugh was contagious and it would send her friends into giggle fits.
"I laugh to this day thinking about Stephanie's laugh," Cori Wallace, a friend of Stephanie's and a senior at Washburn University, said. "It could brighten anyone's day."
Three years later, on the night of Oct. 10, Stephanie, a senior from Bonner Springs, and her boyfriend Daniel "jake" Henry died in a car accident.
Stephanie's close friend and freshman roommate Michaela Mortensen, a senior from Bonner Springs, said Conn was best known for her big, genuine smile that never left her face.
"She didn't have a mean bone in her body." Mortensen said. "She never met a stranger."
Stephanie and Jake were driving back to Lawrence when the accident happened. Stephanie had just visited her grandmother and Jake had picked her up

BSU asks students to put down cells
What do cellular phones, air conditioning and stop lights have in common? They are all on the list of items that the Black Student Union will ask students to go without for Homecoming Week. BSU's Road Trip into Black campaign is a challenge to the KU community to go without the inventions of Black Americans.
"The BSU has a lot of history with KU's homecoming", said Kameron Mack,BSU's Program Chair.
Mack said this is due in part to an incident in 1970, when a black student fought to become
KU's first African American homecoming queen. The BSU supported her fight and made her its homecoming queen.After which,BSU began a tradition of electing its own homecoming queen and remains the only KU organization to continue to do so today.
According to BSU Vice President Vincent Cunigan, the continuing impact of this moment in black history is the inspiration behind this year's charge on KU students to go without Black American inventions. Cunigan said the question of "what would happen if there could not be an African American king or queen" led to further questioning the influence of Black Americans.
From Oct. 18 through Oct. 22, students can see for themselves. During the week, BSU members will be tabling at Wescoe encouraging students and faculty to take part. For those who may have a difficult time going without the use of

UPDATE
Fritzie transferred to Colorado hospital
Matthew Fritzie, a freshman from Stilwell who was injured during a Phi Gamma Delta fraternity party, was transferred Sept. 27 to a Denver-area rehabilitation hospital specializing in spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries, hospital officials confirmed Friday.
Fritzie was transferred from the University of Kansas Hospital to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo.
The US News and World Report has ranked Craig Hospital as a top 10 rehabilitation center in the nation for 21 consecutive years, since 1989 when the rankings started.
Fritzie was life-flighted from the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., to the KU Hospital on Sept. 17 for head trauma after he dove into a temporary pool made from sandbags. According to a University report on its hazing investigation into the fraternity, Fritzie said he was "ordered" to "swan-dive into the pool."
The University placed the fraternity on a two-year probation for violating the University's hazing policy. Some activities related to the Sept. 17 party were part of the violation. However, its investigation did not substantiate that Fritzie's injuries were the result of hazing.

HENRY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jake always stood out as a smart kid when he was growing up. While other boys his age were playing with Buzz Lightyear action figures, Jake carried around and read from his family's giant atlas of road maps.
"He would just sit and study the lines and places," said Joyce Fuentes, one of Jake's aunts. "That was very like him."
As he got older, Jake began to apply his love of learning and knowledge to the world of sports.
"He could tell you about poli in Britain and just give you the most obscure statistic about any sport," Fuentes said. "He was a sports nut."
Never one for the sidelines, Jake had an interest in sports that carried him onto the field, where he dabbled in games such as soccer, tennis and intramural softball. He

In high school Jake played with the varsity team and often went to the area golf course to hit around with friends.
"He was and will always be the true definition of a friend."
Jake Henry, a senior from Edwardsville and Stephanie Conn, a senior from Bonner Springs, died in a car crash Oct. 10. The two had been dating since seventh grade.
even planned to build a career around athletics as he pursued a major in sports management at the University. For all of his interest in sports, golf was one in which jake truly found his niche.
"There was a big group of us on the team and we all just sort of hung out together," Hackney said. "We were kind of the nerds whom people liked because we had a sense of humor."
Jake himself possessed a strong sense of humor. Friends described him as a goofy, animated guy who could take a joke as well as he could

give it.
"If any of you ever got burned by his or someone else's joke Jake would always shout 'hey-oh' and just make fun of the situation," Hackney said.
Of all the
traits that Jake embodied, his genuine kindness was the one that stood out most.
"He always took time out of the day to talk to me or help me out if needed," said Luke Terrell, Jake's co-worker at the Nike Factory Outlet in Kansas City, Kan.
"He was and will always be the true definition of a friend."
Jake is survived by his mom Connie, his dad Steven and his younger brother Collin.

after he left work.
The couple began dating in middle school and continued to date during high school at Bonner Springs High. They were voted "cutest couple" in their graduating class.
"They both became pretty famous around high school for their awesome relationship," said Rikkiann Burns, a friend from Bonner Springs. "They just seemed to complete each other."
Mortensen said Stephanie was artistic and creative, and she impressed everyone with her paintings and drawings. Stephanie also sang with the KU Concert Choir and played guitar and saxophone. Music was always important to Stephanie and she was a huge fan of both Ben Folds and Elton John, Mortensen said. Mortensen said she wouldn't go anywhere without some form of music.
"She lit up the whole choir with her enthusiasm," said choir director Paul Tucker.
Stephanie changed her major many times but intended to graduate in May with a degree in psychology.
"She just wanted to be everything and do everything," Wallace said. "And she had the drive and motivation to do it."
On the day of the crash Stephanie had dinner with her grandmother. She had never been to the Olive Garden before, and when she looked at the prices, she apologized to her grandmother.
"She was the brightest star in our family," the Conn family wrote in Stephanie's eulogy. "If you met her, you liked her. If you knew her, you loved her."
Stephanie's interests inevitably mixed with Henry's. Anywhere Henry went, Stephanie went too, said Cameron Buck, a senior from Edwardsville and a close friend of the couple.
"She and Jake were perfect together and I'm happy they're together now," said Evelyn Conn, Stephanie's grandmother.
"It would only make sense that they left this world together," Mortensen said. "They wouldn't have been able to live without one another."
"She loved Jake with everything she had," Buck said. "When shed hang out with us she was one of the guys."
Stephanie and Jake were the ideal couple, Mortensen said. They intended to get married after graduation.
Stephanie is survived by her parents Steve Conn and Shellie DeCock; her grandparents Evelyn Conn, Vernon Conn and William

Quirk, an independent publisher that started with a series of tongue-in-cheek guides for surviving highly unlikely misfortunes, has established the hybrid "mashup" genre-bending of out-of-copyright classics and horror-fied kitsch.

and founder David Borgenicht, whose 15-person staff works in an inconspicuous building on a cobblestone-paved side street in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood. "That wasn't at all our intent. It was simply too crazy not to publish."
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," Quirk's first foray into fiction, debuted in April 2009 at No. 3 on The New York Times best-seller list. It has sold more than a million copies, been translated into nearly two dozen languages, been made into a graphic novel and an iPhone game, and been optioned for the big screen.
Ever look at something and ask yourself why you didn't think of it first? That's one way Quirk comes up with its titles.
"When we have an idea and say, 'If this was a book, I'd buy it,' Borgenicht said, "that instinct is key."
It was creative director Jason Rekulak's idea to add lumbering hordes of discourteous flesh-eaters to Jane Austen's 19th-century comedy of manners, "Pride and Prejudice," spawning a monstrous hit.

Don't let the pharmaceutical theme fool you. The cafeteria may be located in the new pharmacy building, but all KU students are welcome to come
Pulse store for soda and coffee
The $45 million expansion of the School of Pharmacy has proved to be a beneficial addition to this University. The funding came from the Kansas government to help meet the
growing demands for pharmaceutical workers in Kansas. The original facilities had outgrown Malott
Hall, and now classrooms on West Campus can accommodate all 150 pharmacy students and non-majors that are interested in taking pharmacy classes.
With the growing role that West Campus is taking in extending what the University has to offer, the cafeteria only improves the value of our University. The large campus that the University possesses will only continue to grow, but it is important to continue to make students on the West side of campus feel apart of the overall Jayhawk community.

RELATIONSHIPS
Social networking cheapens connections, friendships
I've come to the conclusion that Facebook causes more frustration in my life than it provides entertainment. Aside from the occasional catch-ups with old friends and the hilarious textsfromlastnight.com wall posts, Facebook doesn't do much for me anymore.
For a majority of us, Facebook has been a part of our social lives for as long as we've had real social lives. So, we're kind of oblivious to its negative effects it has us.
I think Betty White said it best on "Saturday Night Live": "Facebook just sounds like a drag. In my day, seeing pictures of other people's vacations was considered a punishment. In my day we had a phonebook, but we certainly wouldn't waste an afternoon with it."
Think about it. Without Facebook we wouldn't have to spend an hour "creeping" and comparing ourselves with our ex-boyfriend's new fling (or whoever appears to be his fling based on evidence of recently tagged pictures and flirty wall posts). We wouldn't be jealous of that bitch from high school whose apparently perfect life always makes its way into our newsfeed, forcefully updating us on everything from her summer abroad to her authentic obsession with the "Jersey Shore".
But the problem is that we are used to an unnecessary amount of updates and images of them continue to crowd our social database. It's normal to us to spend countless hours envying lives of people we really don't know (because let's face it: everyone's lives look more fabulous on Facebook;

Like every other mass medium, Facebook's main objective is to make money. Call me crazy, but I don't think Mark Zuckerburg really cares that his website just derailed all of your progress of getting over your ex or that his site absorbs millions of hours that college students could be working on their GPAs. He just wants you clicking on his site and generating more money.
And if the social media world were filled with all blue skies and butterflies, all this over-exposure would be all right. But the culture we're surrounding our online world in isn't a self-assuring one. It's a profit-driven one. And unlike nearly any other social network before it, Facebook collects personalized data of everyone of its users, tracking everything from your music interest to tallying your clicks on a friend.
I used to think it was ironic that my ex-boyfriend would always appear (sometimes together) in the "recommended" tab on the right side of my screen. Until I realized that Facebook keeps record of the people who I have been "in a relationship" with. It would make sense for them to provoke more
activity on the site.
A recent study in observance of Mental Health Week released data at the beginning of the month stating that college students are 17 percent more likely to be depressed now than five years ago.
Call me crazy, but I can't help but blame Facebook for this statistic. College students spend more time on Facebook each year because college students like me continue to routinely visit the site unknowingly get sucked into wasting time and emotional energy entranced by the online community.
Facebook is depressing because the digital documentation of our social lives falsely fills the millennial's cultural need to feel connected and influential. It cheapens communication between us. It weakens the insecure while strengthening the corporate influence and income.
Most importantly, while we spend our hours absorbing information we do not need to know,we are wasting time we could be spending actually participating in our social lives and not distantly observing it from a computer screen.
But I do still see some benefits of Facebook, so I'm not suggesting our culture should diminish its existence. I'm suggesting we start looking at it from a more knowledgeable and less emotional perspective.

Humanities remains critical to education
For many students, the University's general education requirements can be a real hassle.
Some arrive supremely confident of just what it is they plan on doing with their education, if not necessarily their lives. Adding extra courses to the required curriculum can mean diversion and distraction.
Of course, the primary justification for mandating that students take courses in a variety of disciplines is that it will prompt them to explore other areas of potential strength. You may still wind up a political science major at the end of the day, but did those three semesters of English really do that much damage?
As compelling as that line of thinking is, it's really not the most essential reason for the University to maintain general education requirements. Common courses in subjects like the humanities and the pure sciences instill various modes of thinking in students - a hard-to-quantify but critical component of the educational experience.
The vast number of "undecided" students clearly benefit from dabbling in different departments. While many colleges impose no general education requirements on their students, figuring flexibility will be much appreciated, such an approach can leave those of undetermined majors feeling directionless. Surely such students need the nudge of some sort of standard curriculum.
That's why it's so troubling to read of the recent action taken at the State University of New York at Albany. Facing budget shortfalls, the university axed various programs in the humanities – always the prime target when schools are looking to make cuts. In turbulent economic times, the argument goes, it's more important to support instruction in the principles of business than the ethics of Aristotle.

While humanities programs at the University are not imminently imperiled, the impending withdrawal of federal stimulus funds is sure to spur scrutiny of areas to trim. Slashing support for the

humanities would represent the triumph of small-minded, short-term thinking.
The practical skills one acquires from an applied science course are not to be discounted. But to claim that they are any more crucial to a quality education is woefully misguided. Philosophy, literature, art, history and music foster creative minds attuned to the diversity of human thought, potential, and character.
Such cultivation is no less important to the aspiring corporate leader than to a budding academic. Indeed, amid a crisis fueled by a go-go ethos of greed, malfeasance, and neglect of the long-term, the importance sensitivity to ethical and moral values has only been compounded.
In Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary", Emma is undone by the unattainable notions of happiness she has developed from reading romantic novels. Ironically, though, Flaubert's book underscores why we need a populace that reads. His insights into human nature and the nature of happiness not only make for stimulating classroom discussion; they're tremendously relevant to how we approach our daily lives and relations with our fellow human beings.
Fewer and fewer students are undertaking a humanitiesbased course of study. But although there's much to be said for majoring in, say, English or history, it's most critical to ensure that in the face of tough choices, students from other disciplines are not deprived of the richness of the humanities. Even if that required two-semester sequence of Western Civilization initially triggers eye rolls.

"The theory of evolution is not dependent on faith. People need to stop saying that. The basic mechanism is demonstrably true and can be shown in a laboratory setting (microevolution.) The remaining evidence is found in fossil records and existing relationships between organisms using molecular techniques. There is no evidence that it is untrue. People who question evolution say there isn't enough evidence, but they willfully ignore it or think there should be more. You can't PROVE a theory true. However, you can disprove a theory with just one publication. Where's the evidence against evolution? And no, the idea of irreducible complexity etc. is not evidence. What experiments have been done to disprove evolution?"

Committee discusses financial aid
ENATE

MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
University Senate is looking into the possibility of a tuition assistance program for faculty and staff. The program could provide free or reduced tuition for dependents, spouses and domestic partners of faculty and staff members, and/or faculty and staff members themselves.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the concept is mentioned frequently at universities and the benefit is often offered by private universities.
turrier states.
She said she didn't know anyone who objects to the idea.
"It would be a wonderful benefit to have for the faculty and staff," Gray-Little said. "The question is who pays for it."
Gray-Little said funding would likely have to come from the state, tuition paid for by other students or through private donations. All three areas are of current concern as state funding is down, tuition continues to rise in reaction to the dips in state funding and the University is constantly seeking to increase donations.
"If they net new students out of this, the cost might not be too prohibitive."
LISA WOLF-WENDEL
Leader of SenEx task force
Another area the task force needs to explore, Gray-Little said, is the event of being unable to offer the benefit to all of these students.
Committee, or SenEx, approved a task force on the matter in September and University Senate approved a list of proposed charges for the task force to look at its Oct. 7 meeting.
"Is it for students who are higher achieving or for students that need financial aid?" Gray-Little asked
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of educational leadership and policy studies, leads the task force and first brought up the idea when she was faculty senate president last year. She said the idea for the benefit comes after two years of no pay raises for staff and faculty members. In addition, Wolf-Wendel said, insurance premiums have risen, meaning faculty and staff are essentially paid less than they were two years ago.

"If they net new students out of this the cost might not be too prohibitive," Wolf-Wendel said.
Wolf-Wendel also said the program could have spillover benefits in that it retains and recruits faculty while possibly adding students who might have gone elsewhere.
This year's faculty senate president Ben Eggleston said if the task force recommended the benefit and that recommendation were endorsed by University Senate, the approval of the University's administration would still be needed. Beyond that, the Board of Regents

and nothing should be taken as a settled proposal just yet.
Wolf-Wendel said she hopes to have a proposal for the Chancellor and Provost by the spring and to be able to present it to the Board of Regents next fall.

She said Pittsburg State University and Fort Hays State University already offer similar programs. Private universities such as Vanderbilt pay tuition for dependents of faculty and staff even if they go to another university.

who are freshmen.
Wolf-Wendel said a tuition assistance program could mean that the scholarship money provided by Coca-Cola could be freed up for students who aren't dependents of faculty and staff members. Another possible scenario, she said, would be to pair the scholarships with tuition reductions, effectively making tuition free through a combination of factors.
Wolf-Wendel said students not eligible for the tuition assistance would not have to foot the bill for those who are.
"The benefit to students who aren't dependents is you increase your odds of recruiting and retaining better employees and faculty," she said. "So that's the benefit to you."
Wolf-Wendel said faculty and staff receive basic health care and retirement benefits but compared to most institutions those benefits are minimal.
"I think it's not an issue that will be settled on the basis of whether it's a good idea or if people are in favor of it," Gray-Little said. "but, really, how can you do it and be fair to the others who would be involved."
Gray-Little said she agreed that the proposal was a natural response from faculty and staff.

'Late Night' kicks off season
Fun festivities also serve as recruiting tool
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Less than an hour after Marcus Morris donned a sweater vest, bow tie and backwards hat as he danced to Boyz II Men, he showed off a different type of footwork as he led the Late Night scrimmage with 14 points and eight rebounds.
Morris' Crimson squad lost 40-39 when his full-court shot dropped just shy of the rim, but he was the unquestioned star of the night. Considering the role he'll be expected to play this season, it should have come as no surprise. Morris, though, was still finding flaws in his game.
"I thought it was close," Morris said about his desperation heave. "Unlike my layups. I'm missing layups. I gotta get better, but I padded my stats a little bit again."
SEE MORE COVERAGE OF LATE NIGHT ON 7B
The scrimmage gave fans their first look at superfrosh Josh Selby, who finished with six points, an assist and a rebound in a performance that didn't leave any jaws on the floor.
KANSAN CLASSIFIEDS
"We had some individuals play pretty good," coach Bill Self said. "I thought Tyshawn was terrific."
No other Jayhawks finished in double figures scoring, but Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson both had nine. Markieff Morris had an efficient eight points on 4-of-5 shooting to go along with four boards.

If fans will take any negative away from the game, it would be the lack of defense, as the teams hit a combined 52.3 percent of their shots. Self cautioned against reading into it, though.
"Josh was so nervous," Self said after the scrimmage. "You've got all this hype on a kid, and you've got so much uncertainty with him with everything that's going on and everything. He told me beforehand, he said, 'I can't eat, I can't do anything.'"
The start of practice is only part of the Late Night festivities, though. The skits, the videos, the speeches — they all serve one purpose above the others: to recruit.
"We haven't even talked about defense yet," Self said, "so it doesn't bother me at all that we didn't guard. Or didn't know how to guard."
The Jayhawks, who got their first commitment from No. 91 overall Naadir Tharpe Thursday, had a full house Friday night for that purpose with five five-star recruits and six four-star recruits, according to JayhawkSlant.com's ratings, sitting front row.
Only three players — Ben McLemore, LeBryan Nash and Angelo Chol — came from the class of 2011. Kansas is considered legitimately in the running for all three players.
Other notable recruits include three of the top ten players in the class of 2013. Julius Randle, No. 3 overall, was wearing a Kansas hoodie next to Zach Peters, a 2012 Kansas commit. Twin brothers Andrew and Aaron Harrison, No. 1 and No. 10 overall, respectively, were also on hand.
"Our staff's done a good job of getting recruits in here and having it be organized to the point where they can all enjoy it," Self said.
They especially enjoyed Bill Self's classic appearance as Vanilla Ice, shimmering gold MC Hammer jumpsuit included.
"Yesterday they asked me if I would do it, and I said, 'How dumb will I look?' Self said. "They said, 'Probably ... It'll be a good laugh.'"

Jayhawk offense lacking in game against the Wildcats
Quarterback Carson Coffman completed all but one of his 16 passes while rushing for a staggering three touchdowns. Highly-touted running back Daniel Thomas contributed 91 yards to K-State's 276 total yardage on the ground while adding a touchdown. Backup running back William Powell highlighted his night with a 56-yard third quarter run, followed by a Carson Coffman two-yard touchdown run.
After the Kansas defense forced a three-and-out on Kansas State's first drive of the night, the Wildcats caught fire on their way to six straight scoring drives, five of which ended in touchdowns.

The Jayhawks return to Memorial Stadium this week to face Texas A&M.
Kansas can learn from Bill Snyder
BY COREYTHIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
You can't sugarcoat games like this. The Kansas football
team had two weeks after a 55-7 loss to Baylor to regroup. study Kansas State and make Thursday night's home game a competitive matchup.
K-State was beaten down 48-13 against Nebraska only a week before. Yet running back Daniel Thomas said his team was ready for Kansas almost immediately.
As we all know by now, it was one of the most lopsided Sunflower Showdowns in recent memory, a 59-7 Wildcat romping. Not since a 64-0 victory in 2002 have the Wildcats won in Lawrence.
Now the Wildcats are one win away from being bowl eligible and Kansas is questioning almost every aspect of its team. The Javahaws are regressing.
"It was behind us as soon as we walked off the field," he said. "We wanted to get back on the field as soon as possible to show everybody we were ready to play again."
What did they do after their bye-week? Lose by four more points than they did against Baylor and still manage to score only seven points. And those were in garbage time.
Kansas is dead last in the Big 12 with an 0-2 conference record, 2-4 overall.
It would not be surprising to see the Jayhawks go winless the rest of the year, which would not bode well for anybody in the Kansas organization.
After Thursday's game, no one from the Jayhawks had answers, so I instead went to the man who has been in this position before.
K-State coach Bill Snyder has spent two decades turning a program around. He was 1-10 in his first season as head coach in 1989, so he somewhat knows what coach Turner Gill is going through.
Snyder made more sense than anybody after the game discussing how his team could win so big after a bad loss.
"I can't explain the turnaround," he said. "It's just a matter of if you prepare well, you play well."
If we apply Snyder's advice to the Jayhawks, we can see that they didn't prepare well and that's why they lost. Two weeks to prepare for this game. Against the in-state rivals. At home. And after a first quarter that yielded three points to K-State, the game was over at halftime.
K-State's Thomas wasn't gloating after the game and he wasn't intentionally bashing Kansas. But something he said has to make Jayhawk fans worried.
"Early in the first quarter, we saw they were out of it a little bit and the fans got out of it," he said. "We came back at half-time and felt like it was pretty much over."

Oregon Ducks: the kind that fly

Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks are reinventing offense and, indirectly, the culture of football. Shorter practices. Smaller playbooks. Faster gameplay.
BY MAX ROTHMAN
ryothman@kansan.com
According to Gregg Easterbrook of ESPN.com, Kelly's offense combines four storied formations.
-The Pistol: Aptly named as a smaller form of the shotgun, this formation sets the quarterback just four yards (unlike shotgun's seven yards) behind the center, with the running back behind the quarterback. On running plays, the tailback has momentum going forward, rather than standing still on shotgun draw plays. Almost all passing plays are hitches, and the quarterback's closer positioning saves time (less distance to throw) and gives the receiver more space in the open field.
-The Single Wing: This one is old school, and still commonly used in high school football. It involves three players in the backfield (usually one player behind a tight end on the side) and a double tight end front. The single wing relies heavily on fakes and options.
-The Triple Option: Similar to the single wing, this formation uses fakes and options, but looks much more traditional before the snap (either in a Wishbone or I-form set).
The Spread: This was the primary formation of the Mangino era, where four wide receivers spread the field and the quarterback sits in the shotgun.
Kelly blends these four ideas into one (approximately) 20-part playbook. Then his team receives hand signals from the sida-
line and runs the plays fast. Really, really fast.
A recent New York Times article by Peter Thamel states that the Ducks commonly run 30 plays in 10 minutes of practice.
"I was dizzy walking off the field," John Gruden, former NFL coach, told Thamel. "It's a philosophy that is the damnedest thing I've ever seen. I love it and can't get enough of it."
Kelly's practices only last two hours (opposed to the traditional three hours) because the Ducks are always running. They cut out wind sprints, because the whole practice is a wind sprint. Many have dubbed this creation "the blur offense" because of its unparalleled speed.
Some of the results are obvious. The Ducks are 6-0 and ranked No.1 in the country. Undoubtedly the best stat: they are outscoring opponents 86-7 in the 2nd half this season.
Truth is, every offense eventually stagnates from a new defensive discovery. But no team seems to have found a way to stop the blur offense just yet. So enjoy watching the unstoppable while you still can.

MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS
Legendary Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler once called him "the best soul singer of all time". His angelic voice could drop a listener to his or her knees. Yet most media outlets ignored his recent death in an airport. Solomon Burke, the Vaults are here for you!
1964's "Rock 'N' Soul", is one of the finest exhibitions of gospel, blues and soul. Burke's voice is the true centerpiece here, but the choir of female backing voices also serve as a strong complement.
In "Cry to Me", Burke laments loneliness and loss with howls straight from the heart. "Won't You Give Him (One More Chance)" features an upbeat tempo and a stunning exchange between Burke and the female backing singers. In "Can't Nobody Love You", Burke seemingly submerges the listener into pain before the track even starts.
Burke, 70, died Monday. So too did a chunk of soul history.

Saints hammer Bucs on Brees' 3 TD game
TAMPA, Fla. — The New Orleans Saints got some unexpected help in reviving a sputtering rushing attack around Drew Brees.
Brees threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns Sunday, leading the Super Bowl champions to a 31-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints rebounded from a mistake-filed road loss that dumped them into third place in the NFC South, scoring on their first three possessions and getting an unexpected lift from rookie running back Chris Ivory.
Ivory rushed for 158 yards on 15 carries, stepping up in the absence of the injured Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas.
The Saints (4-2) amassed 475 yards total offense.

Disconnect between practices and games led to major defeat
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
Olaitan Oguntodu seemed to be holding back tears of frustration after Thursday's loss to Kansas State University. The 59-7 slaughter by the arch-rival Wildcats left Oguntodu's voice shaking as he reflected on what might have gone so wrong.
"We can play the proper alignment, the proper assignment and play hard," senior safety Oguntodu said. "I know we can do that, I believe we can do that and that's what's so disappointing. Having that anticipation that we're going to get it together this game and not doing that, that's disappointing."
The Wildcats controlled the game with a well-balanced offensive combination of passing and running. For a majority of the game, the defensive lined up out of position, leading to missed key tackles. The team looked sluggish and stunned by the energy the Wildcats took the field with, despite having 12 days to rest and prepare.
disappointing. Oguntod had only six tackles in a game where the defense allowed the Kansas State offense to gain 460 yards, 276 of which were rushing. After forcing a three-and-out on the Wildcats' first drive of the night, the defense suffered an uphill battle for the remaining three quarters.
prepare.
"Everything we practiced they did, but they just executed and we didn't," junior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "I felt fine going into this."
Coach Turner Gill seemed to agree that the coaching staff had used the extra five days efficiently, giving the team the knowledge it needed to at least present a challenge to the Wildcat offense. No matter how many hours of tape the Jayhawks watched or how hard they practiced, the fact remains that Wildcat senior quarterback Carson Coffman completed 15 of his attempted 16 passes, gaining 184 yards and completing two touchdowns — not to mention the 43 yards he gained rushing that led to three touchdowns.
Regardless of which side of the line is at fault, the Jayhawks have been outscored 114 to 14 in the past two games. The team worries that might have something to do with its inability to take what it learns in practice and transfer that to the field come game time.
"Our coaches make sure we know what to expect, it's up to us to take on the challenge and play," Oguntodu said. "I have to look into myself and play between the lines and when I do that and my teammates do that we'll all play together. When players play together, this program is in good hands."

game, I felt re-energized. Now we just got to maintain staying positive. I'm trying my best to stay positive right now, but it hurts."
"It was so huge on defense to make sure we tackled well and created turnovers, and we did neither." Gill said.

Game Balls
3. Offensive line: Yes, Jordan Webb was sacked three times. Regardless, the offensive line gave their quarterback plenty of time to make plays all game. The K-State sacks were more credited to the Wildcat secondary who covered the KU receivers like a blanket all night. The already thin unit will need the veteran Capra to return soon to sustain any kind of success moving forward.
2. Running backs: Senior running back Angus Quigley returned to the Kansas backfield to rack up 70 yards on the ground. He also added the team's lone touchdown of the evening. Fellow backs James Sims and Deshaun Sands also not touches, but only combined for 35 yards on 12 carries.
1. Kansas kickoff coverage squad: The special teams group looked lost once again, allowing four kickoff returns of 40 yards or more. New Mexico State kick returner Tanner Rust set a school record with 250 total return yards. The Jayhawks' defense looked impressive but surrendered 16 points because of the short fields the Aqgies had to work with.
Delays of Game
5. Kale Pick: Injured against New Mexico St. in Week 4, the backup quarterback only practiced twice leading up to the K-State matchup. Gill stated it wasn't enough preparation to see the field Thursday night. Gill said he wouldn't replace Webb with Pick as the starter, but didn't rule out the idea of finding minutes for the sophomore quarterback as the season continues
4. Sal Capra: The senior offensive lineman suffered a leg injury early in the second half. He was carted off the field before returning to watch the rest of the game from the sideline. Gill said it appeared to be an ankle injury and it will be evaluated this week.
3. turnovers: The team that makes the fewest mistakes normally wins the game. When playing with a talent disadvantage, mistakes are magnified even more. Two lost fumbles and a redzone interception killed any offensive momentum throughout the game. James Sims' fumble in the 3rd quarter from the KSU 15 yard line was returned 85 yards for a Stephen Harrison touchdown, pushing the KU deficit to 5-0.
2. Jordan Webb: Webb started his year with five touchdown passes and only 1 interception through his first three games, during which the team posted a 2-1 record. The last two weeks Webb has thrown three picks while only finding the endzone once. Not wanting a quarterback controversy, head coach Turner Gill assured fans Thursday night that Webb will remain his starting quarterback.
1. Red-zone defense: The Wildcats made their way into the red zone five times on Thursday night, and 5 times they scored, including three rushing touchdowns by quarterback Carson Coffman. Running back Daniel Thomas also added a 9-yard touchdown run in the 2nd quarter.
Play of the Game
The Aggies had their way with the Kansas defense on their second possession early in the second quarter, tying the game 7-7. It seemed like the game was headed for a shootout before Beshiews got the ball in his hands. But the former defensive backup made magic happen, scoring on a 96-yard kickoff and putting the Jayhawks back up seven. It was excellent blocking and great vision in a rare flash of brilliance from the Jayhawks' special teams unit.
Game Notes
THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ...
As he mentioned in his opening press conference, Gill is a non-stop recruiter. Losing by 52 to your in-state rival could potentially hurt the staff's recruiting standpoint and be able to help our football team. There's a good opportunity for them to come in here and get some things done.
THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ...
The defense has given up 114 point points in its first 2 conference games against Baylor and Kansas State. With ranked opponents Oklahoma State, Nebraska and Missouri still on the slate, the defense will be facing higher-octane offenses as the conference schedule rolls on.
BIGGEST ANSWER
Sophomore M. Bieshews had another great game returning kicks. He led the team with 110 all-purpose yards on 5 returns including a 33-yard kickoff return.
Will KU win another game this season? With three ranked teams left on the schedule and a road trip to Ames, Iowa, the home game against Colorado seems like their best chance for a win.
STILL QUESTIONING
LOOKING AHEAD
KU welcomes Texas A&M to Lawrence Saturday for homecoming. The Aggies (3-3) are also winless in the Big-12 and are coming off a 30-9 home loss to Missouri.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Original prediction: KU 24, KSU 21. Rivalry games are supposed to be close, right? Bill Snyder welcomed coach Gill into the Big 12 with KU's biggest Sunflower Showdown loss since 2002.
A LOSS IS A LOSS. BUT...
Losing to two average teams by a combined 114-14 could destroy any confidence this football team had. The defense hasn't shown up the last two games. The offense has been hiding as well. Gill said the staff might incorporate more plays into the running game to take some pressure on quarterback Jordan Webb.
FINAL THOUGHT ...
Fans hoping for many bright spots should continue to be patient. Even the coaching staff doesn't know how long the turnaround will take. If the underclassmen continue (start?) to get better, there are a few bright spots to look forward to next year.

Kansas' Big 12 soccer woes continued this weekend as they lost at the hands of Texas Tech (10-5-1,3-3-1 Big 12) 2-0 on Friday in Lubbock, Texas and returned home Sunday to fall to Baylor (10-5-2, 3-4-0 Big 12) in double overtime 1-0.
Berry led the Jayhawks with seven shots.
On Friday, goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau added nine saves to her conference-leading save total, which was at 39 after Friday's contest. However, that wasn't enough, as Texas Tech was able to get two goals from headers in the first half.
"They are very physical, so when you come out against these guys you have to really battle and play for 90 minutes," coach Mark Francis said. "You can't come out
Kansas came out the second half and, in attempting to make up its two-goal deficit, outshot Texas Tech nine to six. However, the Red Raiders outshot the Jayhawks 19-10 overall, and had 11 shots on goal compared to Kansas' four.
It was a physical match with a total of 22 fouls. Four yellow cards were issued, one of which led to a converted penalty kick that secured Baylor's 1-0 victory.
Kansas faced a Baylor team Sunday that was also desperate to get an all-important win in conference play.

Kansas is now a dismal 1-7 in conference play, having lost six of those games by two goals or less. Francis said games like this add to the frustration.

Berry said that the Baylor game was symbolic of how the
"I feel like that is a repeated thing for us this year," she said. "We've worked our butts off every single game and we just can't get the results."
Toward the end of the second period, the physical play was evident by sophomore defender Shelby Williamson's bloody face. She left the game after a collision while attempting to clear a ball crossing into the Kansas penalty box. Williamson returned for the start of overtime wearing No. 28 because her regular No. 16 jersey
had blood on it.
"I guess when it rains, it pours." Francis said.
In the second overtime, Williamson was battling a Baylor forward for the ball when she was whistled and tagged with a yellow card. The call, which Francis clearly disagreed with, occurred in Kansas' penalty area, so Hanna Gilmore of Baylor was awarded a penalty kick in the 103rd minute. Gilmore converted the kick and gave Baylor the 1-0 win.
Kansas has now lost four games in a row.
Each team recorded two shots in overtime, but after 10 minutes, neither team could come through with a goal. The game headed into a second overtime.
"I feel really bad for our kids."
The Jayhawks will travel to Nebraska and Colorado next weekend as they finish up their Big 12 schedule.

The Jayhawk cross country team traveled to Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday to compete in the Pre-Nationals Invitational, its most difficult and competitive meet of the season. The women finished 18th out of 40 teams and the men placed 24th out of 36 teams. The men's team competed against 241 runners while the women raced against 274.

For the fourth consecutive meet, junior Donny Wasinger set the pace for the men's team, finishing 47th overall on the 8K course, with a career-best time of 24:33.7. Senior Nick Capriario, the No. 2 runner, also had a career-best time of 25:18.3 and took 116th place. Rounding out the top three runners for the Jayhawk team was junior Austin Bussing, who crossed the finish line in 25:21, which was also a career-best.
Championship.
"The men competed hard, but we need to close the gaps and learn how to focus more in big races." Redwine said. "Twenty-fourth place wasn't the goal coming in, but that is where we ended up. We have to get better and correct our mistakes before the Big 12 meet."
Head coach Stanley Redwine said in a press release that he felt that the team still had work to do in practices in order to be more prepared for upcoming meet at the Big 12 Championship.
As for the women's team, junior Rebeka Stowe proved to be the top
runner for the Jayhawks for the second straight meet. Stowe finished the 6K race with a career-best time of 20:43.9, placing 16th overall. Behind her was sophomore Natalie Becker who clocked in at 21:25. Sophomore Tessa Turcotte sealed the No. 3 spot for the team with a time of 22.08.4, and the No. 4 spot was junior Kara Windisch.

She knows the ability of the team is there to compete, but it hasn't come full circle. As for their upcoming meet in the Big 12 Championship, she said she feels excited.
"The Big 12 meet is very exciting for us because there are a lot of good teams in our conference. I think we need to run in a pack, it is so much easier to run a race like that when you have someone next to you encouraging you." Stowe said in the release. "We need to come out as a group and stay together to support each other."

Junior setter Nicole Tate and sophomore middle blocker Taylor Tolefree, jump to block the ball Saturday night against Oklahoma at the Horejsi Athletic Center. The Jayhawks lost the match to the Sooners three sets to none, dropping to 13-7 on the season.
BY IAN CUMMINGS
cummings@kansan.com
Senior defensive specialist and recent Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week Melissa Manda became Kansas volleyball's all-time digs leader in Wednesday night's 3-1 win against the Baylor Bears in Waco, Texas. The Jayhawks returned to Lawrence on Saturday to see a four-match home winning streak snapped in three sets by the Oklahoma Sooners.
BAYLOR
In a match that featured a broken record for Kansas, a four-way tie for fifth place in the Big 12 and four sets decided by three points or less, the chirping of crickets was not proverbial - it was real. The insects occasionally visit the Ferrell Center at this time of year, as they did Wednesday night.
Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield said the crickets dove down from the ceiling and into the game, creating a minor distraction for which Baylor Athletics had a neat solution.
Mayfield led the Jayhaws with 19 kills, combined with 19 digs for her third double-double of the season. Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington and freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc each contributed 12 kills to the effort. Jarmoc matched a career high with her kills, which she scored with an efficiency of .500, also racking up eight blocks.
"They had a cricket boy," Mayfield said. "If there was a cricket on the court, he would just run out and grab it. And then I don't know where he would put them. He was putting them in the trash can, I guess."
"Our blocking has been really good this season," she said. "And it helps so much in the back row to have good blockers in front of us."
Manda recorded 28 digs against the Bears, bringing her career total to 1,362. The previous record holder was Jill Hall, who played with Kansas from 2001 to 2004. Manda said great coaching and great teammates contributed to her success.
Kansas and Baylor played a close
first set, remaining within two points of one another until nearly the end. At 19-19, Kansas pulled away with three blocks by Jarmoc, Mayfield and senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser, followed by two kills by Mayfield. Jarmoc closed the set with a final kill, giving Kansas the set 25-22.
the second set was even closer. The difference was no more than a point for most of the game. In the end, the bears took the set with kills by senior middle blocker Elizabeth Graham and junior outside hitter Allison King. Senior outside hitter Ashlie Christenson scored a service ace to finish the set 25-27. Baylor's efforts were plagued with nine errors in each of the first two sets; all nine in the second were unforced. Kansas had six errors in the two games, hitting for a lower-than-average efficiency of .133.
Kansas took a 21-13 lead in the third game only to see Baylor answer back with kills by Graham and Christenson. Graham and junior middle blocker Briana Tolbert then blocked Kansas' Garlington three times in a row. Garlington came back with two kills, but the
Bears had closed the gap to 24-23.
Mayfield scored back-to-back kills to win the set for Kansas 26-24. The Jayhawks also took the fourth and final set 26-24.
"Obviously, if you want to stay in the top half of the conference, wins like these are pretty crucial," he said. "It really came at a good time."
Coach Ray Bechard said the victory was crucial for the team, which, together with Texas A&M, Missouri and Baylor, was in a four-way tie for fifth place in the Big 12.
OKLAHOMA
On Saturday, Oklahoma swept Kansas with scores of 25-22, 25-12 and 25-20. The loss drops Kansas to 13-7 overall and 5-4 in conference play. Oklahoma performed well offensively throughout the match, averaging a hitting efficiency of .390. Kansas has held its previous opponents to an average of .164. Meanwhile, Kansas hit a .130 average, partly because errors in the second set produced a negative hitting efficiency of -.032.
Bechard said the team struggled with first contact and passing and that the Jayhawks had difficulty
adjusting to the Sooners' serve.
"The first thing we need to do is really commend Oklahoma," Bechard said. "For playing a nearly flawless match. They had two unforced hitting errors in three games, which is unheard of."
Sooner freshman middle blocker and recent Big 12 Rookie of the Week Sallie McLaurin was a significant part of Oklahoma's offense. McLaurin scored 10 kills for the Sooners with an efficiency of .714 and made no errors. Junior right side hitter Suzy Boulavsky led the Sooners with 11 kills, and several players combined to give their team 43 digs.
Garlington and Mayfield each contributed 10 kills to the Kansas effort but a team total of 21 attack errors detracted from the offensive effort.
Kansas plays at home again on Wednesday against nationally ranked Texas.

MARCHING IN THE STREET
Note from the editor
Homecoming Week is my favorite time of the year. Some of my best college memories involve "pumping" — folding tissue paper and stuffing it into chicken wire to create a float — late into the night with my best friends. I love seeing the chalk murals on Wescoe Beach, cheering on my friends at Jayhawk Jingles, and eating pancakes while I watch the parade move down Jayhawk Boulevard. But my favorite part of homecoming is the idea that the University is home — and, in a way, my classmates are family.
P
Homecoming used to be about competition. For three years, I was obsessed with winning the Overall Homecoming Award with my sorority. The hard work paid off when we won in 2008 and 2009.
This is my last year as a KU student,
BY SARAH KELLY skelly@kansan.com
but it's the first year I won't be competing. Living in limbo as a fifth-year senior has changed my perspective.I love winning, but I love being a Jayhawk even more. Homecoming is a chance for all of us to celebrate all the things - and people - that make the University something to come home to.
My experience here is defined by the work I've done for The Kansan and the bonds I've formed with my sorority sisters, but there are a thousand different ways to build memories. It could be the research you did, the church you joined, or the scholarship hall you lived in. It's the sight of fat squirrels running around campus, the sound of the whistle at the end of class, and the taste of a Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap at lunch. Spend four (or five, or maybe six) years here, and the University becomes a part of you.
If you haven't participated in homecoming before, give it a try this year. Spend a little extra time on campus this week and really savor the college experience. When you look back on your time here, you'll be glad you did.

Tradition starts with history
Homecoming legacy started 98 years ago
BY TANVI NIMKAR editor@kansan.com
As fall begins in Lawrence, students and alumni prepare for the annual tradition of homecoming with weeklong festivities meant to bolster school spirit. Jayhawk Jingles, the mural contest, and the homecoming parade all lead up to the football game with a halftime show by the Marching Jayhawks.
Choosing a homecoming theme has been a tradition since 1956 and has evolved into the foundation for the activities. This year's theme is Rock Chalk Roadtrip. For freshmen it is a chance to discover the meaning of tradition and honor associated with the University of Kansas. For seniors it is a chance to enjoy the tradition as a student for the last time. For alumni it is a chance to reminisce about their great times at the University.
The rich tradition extends beyond academics and athletics
as the Jayhawks played in the first homecoming game against the University of Missouri 98 years ago. This was the beginning of the football Border War, now known as the Border Showdown. For years in the early 1900s, the homecoming game and the Border War game were the
same, until each team's schedule expanded to accommodate more games. In 1912, Kansas hosted its first homecoming with more than 9,000 alumni and students attending the game. The

A general consensus among students is that homecoming serves as an opportunity to
It was "more appropriate to recognize those who embody the academic spirit for which the community was established."
Javhawks beat the Tigers 12-3.
Another key event that happened during a homecoming game against Kansas State was the birth of Baby Jay in 1971.

EVENTS
Schedule combines celebration, competition all week
BY NOOPUR GOEL editor@kansan.com
This year, like years in the past, the Homecoming Steering Committee has created an entire week full of events for students, alumni and the entire Lawrence community to get involved in.
"There is a perception out there that this is some kind of greek-only event," said Kristopher Nielsen, the committee's co-chairman for publicity. "We want to make it absolutely crystal clear that this is something we encourage every single student, student organization and every alumni in town to participate in."
OFFICE DECORATION Monday through Friday
Every office on campus will get the opportunity to decorate their space with the homecoming theme.
"This is the most faculty oriented event." Nielsen said.
These will be judged on Wednesday, but may be decorated throughout the week and kept up as long as the office inhabitants please. The judging will be based on creativity and adherence to theme.
SCAVENGER HUNT
Monday through Friday Every day a different clue will be released in The University Daily Kansan.
Nielsen would like to point out that there is one in the paper you are currently reading.
After the clue is released in The Kansan it will be posted on homecoming Facebook and Twitter. The first group to arrive at the Adams Alumni Center with a photo of all five of the correct locations referenced by the clues will be the winner. The clues may reference a building or structure on campus.
MONDAY FUNDAY Today
Go to Wescoe Beach between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to get fliers of the week's events, participate in a giveaway, and purchase a homecoming shirt (both long- and short-sleeved).
"It's just kicking off the week and getting everyone prepared for what's ahead," said Gina Littlejohn. Homecoming Steering Committee co-chairwoman of publicity.
BASKETBALL
TOURAMENT
Today and Tuesday
Student organizations, or even just groups of friends, will battle it out to win their bracket. The tournament at the Ambler Recreation Center features three brackets, male, female and coed. In the past there have been 20 to 30 teams, and the turn-out for this year is expected to be around the same number.
CHALK'N'ROCK Tuesday
Ten teams will be chosen from pre approved entries. These teams will then be given a square of concrete in front of Wesco Hall where they will have two to three hours to create a mural in chalk. The chalk murals will be judged mainly on school spirit, creativity and adherence to this year's homecoming theme. Rock Chalk Road Trip.
"We're looking for people that take it beyond the obvious." Littlelohn said.
Points will be given for first, second and third place, as well as participation. The winners will be announced at 2 p.m. that day.
CANSTRUCTION Wednesday
Each team will collect cans to donate to the Eckan food pantry and build a structure out of them on a square outside of Wescoe Hall.
"I similar to Chalk 'n' Rock, but philanthropic." Nelson said.
After 2 p.m., when all the winners have been announced, the cans will be donated. Although the "Canconstruction" teams only need to bring enough cans to fulfill their design, Littlejohn and Nielsen suggest that they try to bring as many as possible because points will be allotted based on the number of cans provided.
STUFF THE BUS
Wednesday
"The goal, obviously, is to stuff the KU bus full of cans," Littlejohn said.
A bus will be in the parking lot of Dilloris, 1015 W 23rd Street, between 2 and 7 p.m.
They will be donated to the same food nursery as Construction
Organizations earn points per can but Nielsen stresses the event is for the entire Lawrence community.

There is a special event being hosted by Student Union Activities in collaboration with the Homecoming Steering Committee. Together these two groups are bringing Fredrick Winters, hypnotist to the campus. He will be putting on a show for students at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union's Woodruff Auditorium.
Winters has hypnotized more than 155,000 people and done more than 2,000 shows nationwide. He was named the Campus Entertainer of the Year and bestowed the Best Male Artist Award.
"It's like when you're watching TV and you kind of get glued into it. That's how he explained the people up front get glued into the things that he says," said Eric Driscoll, events coordinator for SUA.
MURAL CONTEST Thursday
The Chalk 'n' Rock concept is revisited with ply wood. Ten students are given the opportunity to make a mural of a pre-approved design on ply wood. Judging will once again be based on creativity and adherence to theme. Wesco Beach is where these murals will be displayed and judged that day. After the competition, the murals will be hung up in the Underground, instead of Strong Hall as usual.
"We thought that this would give other students more of a chance to see them," Littlejohn said.
HOMECOMING FOOD
FEST FEATURING
JAYHAWK JINGLES
Thursday
Activities, booths, live entertainment,
and most importantly, food.
"Free food," Littlejo said. "Why wouldn't you want to come?"
The food is being provided by local businesses such as 23rd Street Brewery and Paisanno's.
This event is different from years past because Jayhawk Jingles have never before been combined with anything else.
There is also something else special about the event this year. Littlejohn and Nielsen said it may be one of the most historic things to ever happen during Homecoming Week.
One lucky fan will get the chance to re-write the fight song. Since Nebraska and Colorado are no longer in the Big 12, that part of the fight song will have to be re-written. At this event some of the entries for this revision will be on display, and the Jingles' participants will also be given the opportunity to offer their re-write. The actual winning revision will be announced at halftime of the homecoming football game.
"That person will go down in history as the person who wrote the fight song," Neilsen said.
RECEPTION Friday
The reception is by invite only. "It is an internal celebration for people who put it together, as well as people who are being honored." Nielsen said.
The reception
Three awards are being presented at the ceremony. The ExCEL Award, Jennifer Alderdice Award, and the Spirit of 1912 Award. The ExCEL award is presented to a senior who has a GPA above a 3.0 and has demonstrated exceptional leadership and involvement in the community and on campus. The Jennifer Alderdice Award is given to an underclassman, sophomore or junior, who has demonstrated these same qualities. The Sprit of 1912 award is presented to an alumnus or alumna of the University.
"It is given to an alumni who has shown above and beyond dedication to KU past being graduated," Nielsen said.
The winner of the 1912 award is judged based on their dedication of time, energy, and donations to KU.
CRIMSON AND BLUE DAY Fridav
There will be a banner on Wesco Beach for fans to sign. It will be given to the football team to wish them good luck.

Committee revives Canstruction, tweaks Jayhawk Jingles
BY TAYLOR LEWIS editor@kansan.com
Eleven months ago, 15 students came up with three new events to make for one memorable Homecoming Week. With more than 2,000 fans on Facebook and 500 followers on Twitter, Rock Chalk Road Trip has already exceeded the popularity of last year's homecoming, whose Facebook fan page peaked at around 1,000 people.
While the Steering Committee is gearing up for this year's celebrations, it has opted to add some new events and revamp some fan favorites, but it also has a new goal in mind with its increased media presence — to reach out to students who aren't necessarily involved in Greek Life.
"It's always kind of been perceived that homecoming's all about greek fraternities and sororites competing against each other, and the average student always kind of felt left out," said Kristopher Nielsen, the Steering Committee co-chairman for publicity and communications.
"There's absolutely no stipulation that a student organization that is non-greek cannot enter in any of the contests and they cannot participate in any of the events."
Both greek and non-greek students alike have a slew of new and revised homecoming activities to look forward to in the following week, including Construction, Homecoming Food Fest featuring Jayhawk Jingle, and hypnotist Frederick Winters.

Construction, which will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday on Wesco Beach, is an event in which student groups use canned food items to build a 3-D mural.
"Construction is a visible form of the Stuff the Bus," said Nielsen, a Leawood senior. "Groups will have the opportunity to take the huge volume of stuff they collect and build a structure out of it in adherence with the theme of homecoming."
Zach Mingo, homecoming campus outreach chairman, said Construction has been on hiatus
since 2006, but he and adviser Stephanie Gerson chose to bring it back for this year's festivities.
"Everyone knows what Chalk n' Rock is, but you have to dig a little bit deeper in your brain to figure out how you're going to make this mural," said Mingo, a Garden City junior.
Structures will be judged by a panel of University faculty and all the food items used will be donated to Stuff the Bus, an event where students try and fill a KU on Wheels bus with canned food items, which will then go to local food banks.
HOMECOMING FOOD FEST FEATURING JAYHAWK JINGLES
While these two events aren't new, they are receiving a makeover from the Steering Committee. In the past, students could enjoy a barbecue snack from Bigg's BBQ while listening to music, but participants can expect more variety in this year's event, which is at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
"This year, we're trying to make it two big events into one," Mingo said. "It's not just a barbecue with some songs. It's 'come taste local restaurants and enjoy some music while you're at it."
Although Bigg's BBQ will still be providing food, students can also expect a taste from Wayne and Larry's, Paisano's, 23rd Street Brewery, Mad Greek, and sugar cookies provided by Eileen's Colossal Cookies.
Students can also enjoy original music and songs relating to this year's theme from different student groups and organizations.
In addition to Jayhawk Ingles, there is also a new musical competition that students can look forward to. Since Colorado and Nebraska have decided to leave the Big 12, the University's fight song lyrics are no longer representative of its opponents. To fix this problem, the
Steering Committee is holding a contest in which students, faculty and alumni can come up with new lyrics to replace the verses that are no longer accurate.
"The fight song is a huge part of KU's traditions," Nielsen said. "It's gone over Traditions Night every night in the fall in Memorial Stadium. And some lucky person, or some creative person, is going to have the ability to make that their own song."
HYPNOTIST
FREDERICK WINTERS
Each year, Student Union Activities partners with the Homecoming Steering Committee to bring a nationally recognized
performance to the University. This year, hypnotist Frederick Winters, awarded best male artist by Campus Activities magazine, will be performing at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Jeni Burrows, a sophomore from Belle Plaine, is SUAs event coordinator and helped snag the performance. After looking into magicians and other unusual genres of entertainment, she settled on Winters, a well-known hypnotist.
"It's going to be an incredible time and something unique that most people don't see performed," Burrows said. "Hopefully, it will be entertaining night and a unique way to spend a college evening."
With the addition of those three events, the Homecoming Steering Committee is hoping to draw in its usual homecoming crowd along with some new faces and a new mindset, one that will ensure everyone enjoy this year's festivities.
"We just want to let everyone know that this week is about them and they have the opportunity to come out and participate as much as they want," Nielsen said. "It's all going to be focused toward making sure that the greeks know they can participate, but the average student knows that they are equally encouraged to be involved with this."

Chalking on Wescoe Beach, "pumping" floats for the parade and going to the game. For 98 years, these traditions have been alive and well at the University during Homecoming Week.
Although all students can take part in the week's festivities,homecoming is especially important to students involved in Greek Life.
Homecoming co-publicity chairwomen Gina Littlejohn, a senior from Lenexa, said the traditions were a way of connecting generations of Jayhawks.
"Homecoming means bring ing everyone together, both students and alumni, to celebrate in all of the traditions that KU has to offer. It also is a time to boost Jayhawk spirit and morale." Littlejohn said.
For some students,homecoming is something more:It's competition.

"Besides groups participating, all students at the University are encouraged to attend any events hosted during Homecoming week. We have free giveaways on Wescoe Beach, the Food Fest featuring Jayhawk Jingles and more." Littlejohn said.

Scholarship halls enjoy unique facets of homecoming experience

scholarship hall competition. Scholarship halls will compete together against other housing units and student organizations for the campus-wide competition. The 12 halls will also form six male-female partnerships for a competition of their own. The all-scholarship hall competition will be similar to the traditional homecoming competition as halls will earn points for competing in each event, but will also have some exclusive features, such as a hall decorating contest.

Greek chapters and other student organizations aren't the only groups on campus getting ready for Homecoming Week. Scholarship halls are also making their preparations for a week full of festivities, competing in both the campuswide homecoming competition in the non-greek chapter and in an all scholarship hall competition.
Alex Hyler, a sophomore from Lawrence and programming chairman of the All Scholarship Hall Council, or ASHC, said scholarship hall residents have already put a lot of work into planning their own competition.
"We had elections a few weeks ago and each hall selected both a returning resident and a new resident to form a planning committee," Hyler said. "We are very excited to see so many new residents step up and become involved, and they've brought a lot of fresh ideas into the mix."
Hyler said she hoped the homecoming competitions would be as successful as the Scholarship Hall Olympics that were held during Hawk Week earlier this year, in which more than half of the 600 residents participated. The Steering Committee hasn't had to spend too much time encouraging residents to participate in the competition because a lot of the promotion has been spread through word of mouth.
Patrick Grant, a sophomore from Lenexa living in Stephenson Scholarship Hall, said that any scholarship hall residents who are still undecided on whether they will compete should join in.
"Our activities are all volunteere, but we are expecting a high turnout," Hyler said. "Our residents like to get involved and we hope their involvement translates to Homecoming Week also. We can do a lot of things and make a big impact because we are our own entity."
"These activities are a good way for first-year people to get into the schol hall life," Grant said. "You get to meet people from other halls."
Grant said he looked forward to the three-on-three basketball tournaments, and he said that those not

"I got to know lots of people through it and it took some of the stress from starting school away," Christner said.
Christner said she planned to participate in Homecoming Week with her hall and that she enjoyed the sense of community the scholarship halls provide.
"I really enjoy my house," Christner said. "It's more homey, than a dorm and everyone is so close — from the first day we were here we all trusted each other."
Mili Echeverria, a freshman from Topeka, is living in Sellars Scholarship Hall. She said she was excited for her first homecoming in college and was looking forward to competing against the other scholarship halls again.

"I think everyone in our hall will try to get involved somehow," she said.
The scholarship halls' homecoming festivities kick off today with Monday Funday on Wescoe Beach. Throughout the week students will have the chance to compete in basketball tournaments, chalk Wescoe, decorate their houses, and participate in a can drive and sculpture design on Wescoe.
While the scholarship halls don't have the numbers like the greek system and residence halls, Hyler said that others should watch for them to win some competitions.
"We get competitive on our own but when we team up with all 12 houses we bring our'A' game," Hyler said.

Jayhawks keep family legacies strong
Students attend the University of Kansas because of family history
BY AMANDA GAGE editor@kansan.com
Passing on college traditions such as the joy of being a Jayhawk is an unspoken treasure that many parents appreciate deeply. Carolyn Gerwick, University of Kansas alumna, is one of those parents.
"I grew up in a family surrounded by parents, grandparents, aunts,
uncles, great-austs and great-uncles who all went to KU," Gerwick said. "I was so proud that there was an auditorium named after my great-uncle, Larry Woodruff, in the Union. The girls who lived in the Theta house with me all knew that I had what seemed like millions of older relatives who were also Thetas."
Carolyn's daughter Hannah,

"I've grown up going to football and basketball games," Gerwick said.
"And my family told me I could go wherever. But I definitely wanted to go to KU because my whole family went to KU and they told me how great it was my entire life."

After finding these students, she contacted their parents to inform them that the KU Alumni Association wanted to feature them in the upcoming issue. She also said there were usually about 200 students featured in the issue each year, but it was a little lower this year.

Committee keeps homecoming on track
Events come together with help of committed group of students
BY ALLISON BOND editor@kansan.com
Planning for Homecoming Week is a year-long process that the Steering Committee—composed of 15 students and two advisors—is in charge of. With applications and interviews in November, students work to set up events in which the student body, alumni and the Lawrence community can all participate.
Caitlin Wise, senior from Mulvane, has been involved in
the Steering Committee since her sophomore year. Now director of the Committee, Wise Since again gets to see the final Output of current students, returning alumni and the Lawrence community coming together
during Homecoming Week to encourage personal involvement in KU history. A fight song contest is being held to update the classic "I'm a Jayhawk" lyrics after two Big 12 teams announced plans to leave the conference.
"I am so excited that the fight song contest winner will be announced during homecoming," Wise said. "I almost cried when we found out. It's a perfect fit."
Once Homecoming Week starts, the Steering Committee's responsibilities are far from complete.
to enjoy Homecoming Week
"I love homecoming." Wise said. "My favorite thing about KU is its tradition, and for one week I get to see everyone come together in school spirit."
"I am so excited that the fight song contest winner will be announced during homecoming, I almost cried when we found out."
With a roughly $20,000 budget, students work hard to host several annual events that students and the community can get involved in. This year's main sponsors, Coca-Cola and Sprint, along with KU Alumni Association support and special donors, helped the Steering Committee create a budget that will build events such as the annual parade down Jayhawk Boulevard.
"We try to keep the traditions of homecoming intact so we can look forward to them annually," said Nikki Epley, homecoming advisor.

"There is an

Although most involved with the Steering Committee are new to their positions this year they are committed to bringing the best homecoming experience to the alumni, students and community.
"We chose our road trip theme this year because we wanted to grasp the idea of alumni traveling to KU and the students' journey in their education and experience here at KU," Nielsen said. "It is about bringing everyone together and having something for everyone."

Jayhawks top historical homecoming football games
BY CHRIS SCHAEDER | editor@kansan.com
From the moment I attended my first homecoming football game at my school in second grade, I realized that the game is the most integral part of the festivities that take place throughout the week. This opinion
was cemented last year during my freshmen year at Kansas. I hadn't noticed as much school spirit as there was in high school when we had dress-up days, but this changed at the football game. Despite the frigid weather, the enthusiasm and spirit displayed by Kansas
students was unbelievable. It would have been easy for students to go home and watch the game in a warm environment. With the game against Texas A&M on Saturday, I have come up with my list of the top five homecoming football moments in Kansas history.
THE STADIUM. THE VIEW FROM THE HIGHWAY.

Virginia Tech in January 2008, Kansas achieved a rare feat in the history of the football program. The Jayhawks defeated Nebraska 76-39 in the 2007 homecoming football game.

Alumnus stays close to KU
BY GEOFFREY CALVERT
Football analyst David Lawrence cherishes his role with University
Not many Jayhawks have been invested in Kansas football as long as David Lawrence, the analyst for Jayhawk football on the Jayhawk Radio Network.
"I always made a trip up to Lawrence each year," he said. "When I was 2 years old I went to a game during the Orange Bowl season. Being a Jayhawk was bred in me pretty early."
From a young age, Lawrence was conditioned to be a Jawhawk.
Lawrence was a standout at Parsons High School and earned a football scholarship from the University. Playing tight end and offensive guard, Lawrence was a four-year letter winner, was named a team captain senior year and earned Offensive Player of the Year and All-Big 8 honors in 1981.
"When I finished playing, I wanted to be a coach for Don Fambrough." Lawrence said. "He gave me an opportunity to coach as a graduate assistant. The next year he got fired, which is the world of big-time athletics."
Lawrence said he couldn't imagine coaching at another university because he held Kansas closest to his heart. Not surprisingly, Lawrence said he is really looking forward to the upcoming homecoming weekend.
After graduating, he stayed close to Kansas.
noncearning. "As I get older I appreciate it more," he said. "I don't take it for granted. Quite a few of my teammates come back. It's been about 30 years so it varies on who all comes. We sit around and relive old memories, catch up on our kids, and talk about the current team. We all miss playing for KU. At the time we thought we were miserable, with class, practice and study hall. But after it's all over you really miss it."
Seeing many old players come back during homecoming weekend helps Lawrence cherish his job.
"I'm very fortunate," he said. "Kansas football has been a passion of mine. Some of my best relationships are from Kansas football."
"Friday I'll get out and see friends," he said. "I'm still close to coach Fambrough. I'll visit with him about the homecoming game. Homecoming is about seeing people before the game and hopefully after."
Although Lawrence is busy commentating during the actual game, he maximizes the rest of homecoming weekend.
involved.
"I got asked to do broadcasting right out of college because the guy who covered KU thought I could speak well enough," he said. "It's easier than coaching."
He was a graduate assistant and doing work for Channel 6, and I met him through that." Davis said. "Then our son went to South Junior High and had him for a teacher."
Although many of his former teammates are only around the University for the homecoming game, Lawrence is constantly involved.
it's easiest to talk about. In 1984, Lawrence first met Bob Davis, his partner in the broadcast booth.
While he spent only one year as a graduate assistant, Lawrence has remained involved in coaching by spending 18 years as the coach at South Junior High School, when he still teaches. Lawrence has three children, Dyana, Josh and Lindsey. Dyana and Josh graduated from the University in 2007 and 2008. Lindsey will graduate in May.
"I had the best of both worlds for 18 years," he said. "I thought it was time to move on so that I made sure I didn't miss any of my children's other events."
Lawrence decided to retire from coaching after his son played at South.
Josh said he enjoyed having his dad coach him.
"He knows the game really well and I think he was an excellent
coach," he said. "Not just with Xs and Os but with communicating with young people and being a good figure in kids' lives."
Coaching Josh was just one of the opportunities that father and son had to bond with sports.
"I went to all the games when I was younger." Josh said. "I got to know Bob Frederick, Bob Davis and Max Falkenstein. Dad got me sideline passes when I was little."
"Obviously we were both living in Lawrence and had family dinners," he said. "I went to every game, and we talked KU sports all the time. And if I needed to get a ticket he could usually find one for me."
At the University, Josh was able to stay close to his dad.
Lawrence has spent time as an analyst on both television and radio. He started as a radio analyst in 1982, did television analysis for Channel 6 from 1988 to 1994, and has worked for the Jayhawk Radio Network since 1994.After doing analysis on both radio and television, Lawrence said he feels television is an
television is an easier job.
"TV has an advantage because you have people talking in your ear telling you what to address," Lawrence said. "Radio is more of a pioneer thing. It is what you call
it. No one knows anything unless you tell it. There's so much more you have to tell on radio."
"I got asked to do broadcasting right out of college because the guy who covered KU thought I could speak well enough. It's easier than coaching."
DAVID LAWRENCE Football analyst
As a sideline analyst with the Jayhawk Radio Network, Lawrence's job was to report on happenings that could be seen or experienced on the sidelines better than announcers could describe them upstairs in the broadcasting booth, such as injuries, momentum, and the feeling of the team on the sidelines.

"You see better in the booth," he said. "You have the advantage of seeing the entire field. There's so much to look at in one play when you are in the booth that you have to prioritize. Being able to see the whole field helps you do that."
Davis was very complimentary of the job Lawrence has done in replacing Falkenstien.
Lawrence handled being Falkenstien's replacement.
"I didn't feel pressure to be Max," he said. "You never can replace 60 years behind the mike. I'm not on the same level as Max and Bob Davis."

the game as a player and has a great feel for subtleties that others wouldn't notice"
Whether he is upstairs in the booth or reporting from the sidelines, Lawrence has always been a loyal Jayhawk supporter. He
said he dislikes criticizing individual players on-air because, as a former player himself, he knows that the players are still just college kids and aren't even being paid to perform. However, he maintains an even balance between being a Jayhawk fan and a Jayhawk broadcaster.
caster.
"I would not be doing my job if I wasn't critical of our play in our losses this year, but I'm looking for positives as much as possible." Lawrence said. "I don't call a neutral game. I call it from a KU perspective. I think that's what the fans want. But it's my job to tell them the truth."
Josh said he notices how much his dad cares about the success of the team.
"He's an especially passionate KU fan," Josh said. "I think you can tell when you listen how much he cares. He does a nice job masking his disappointment but you can tell through his voice that he really cares."
As a former player, Lawrence can sympathize with the current players' struggles and invests himself into the result of each game.
"My heart goes into it," he said. "I care whether we win or lose. It's extremely important to me. I care about those kids. I was in their shoes, and I like developing relationships with them."
To maintain his credibility as both a fan and a broadcaster, Lawrence puts in his fair share of time in preparation for each game.
"i got to practice once or twice a week. I'll watch four or five hours of video. I watch us on Sunday and watch video of the opponent on Tuesday and Wednesday, I write out depth charts and keys to the game."
Davis agreed.
"We know KU really well so it's a matter of getting familiar with the other team," he said. "Teams from the Big 12 North we see every year, and the South teams we see two years at a time. The non-conference schedule is always unfamiliar so we have to do a crash course each week."
Preparing for the games is an all-encompassing, week-long task.
"The hours aren't always particularly great sometimes," Davis said. "It isn't a nine to five job. There's lots of travel involved. We work every weekend during the season as well as holidays. It's something you have to really love."

Role of grand marshal extends beyond parade
Alumnus Robert Eaton holds the honorable position that helps lead the week's homecoming events
BY ELIZABETH ALBANI editor@kansan.com
Although homecoming has been a tradition at the University of Kansas for 98 years, students seem to be unaware of one of the most important aspects of the week, the grand marshal. The
Homecoming Steering Committee begins the planning process for homecoming almost a year in advance. A few of the members'
PETER SCHNEIDER
Eaton
first tasks include choosing the homecoming theme and the grand marshal.
This year's grand marshal, Robert Eaton, was chosen in January. Eaton, once the CEO of the Chrysler Corporation as well as the president of General Motors Europe, flew to the top of the committee's list because his achievements fit this year's automotive theme of Rock Chalk Road Trip.
After the theme was decided, the committee began discussing possibilities for the esteemed role. Each committee member comes up with a few possibilities. These are discussed and taken into consideration before a final decision is made. When
making this decision, the potential grand marshal's affiliation with the University and relation to the theme are considered. The grand marshal is not required to be a KU graduate, and can be an employee or a friend of the University.
Eaton graduated from the University in 1963 with a bachelor's degree in engineering. In 1994 he went on to receive one the highest honors granted by the University, the Distinguished Service Citation. This award recognizes service and achievement in the professional world. Eaton also received the Distinguished Engineering Service Award in 1995.
Eaton Hall, which houses the University's School of Engineering, is named after Eaton because of his donation toward the construction of the building.
Most students at the
coming, described his position.
Gerson explained that the grand marshal holds an important leadership role during homecoming and is asked to participate in activities throughout the week. He or she is invited to a homecoming reception on Friday where the Steering Committee, ExCEL Award winners, and the grand marshal are recognized. She also said he is invited to participate in the parade and asked out to the field during halftime of the homecoming football game to assist in presenting the ExCEL Award to its recipients.

Alumni Band storms the football field with the Marching Jayhawks
BY SARA SNEATH editor@kansan.com
Eighty-four-year-old Glen Opie refuses to retire, both in his career and as a KU drum major. Opie continues to participate in the Alumni Band because when you're his age, you're "old enough to do what you want to."
to do what you want.
Opie's band career began in 1953, when he was in his third year of law school at the University. Because Memorial Stadium did not have the proper markings or towers for band formations, he began to assist with drum major
duties. Soon, he was making history. According to Glen, he was the first to propose the Marching Jayhawks' current tradition of running onto the field.
This year marks the 38th KU Alumni Band Reunion. Before the homecoming game, they will march in the parade down Jayhawk Boulevard, led by the Marching Jayhawks. Later that day, current and former band members will join forces to storm the stadium during the homecoming halftime show. For current band members like Kelsie Lange, the custom is yet another example of the Marching Jayhawks' rich tradition. Lange,
a senior from Lawrence, said she always looks forward to the camaraderie and pride that the KU Alumni Band brings.
For Alumni Band members, the performance is both a chance to reconnect with old friends and to show their appreciation to an organization that played a large role in their college experience. Alumni member Jarius Jones has five kids and a wife to boast about from his experience. Jones begins his favorite college story with, "In the summer of '93 I met my wife."
Alumni Band members who perform receive a free ticket to the homecoming game. But for Jones
and his wife, the game's outcome isn't as important as enjoying the homcoming tradition.
it doesn't matter if we will ning or losing," he said. "We enjoy it."
The alumni can, in many ways, be thanked for the band's current success. The Marching Jayhawks continue to increase in numbers, while being recognized for their talent. By taking part in the homecoming ceremony, the Alumni Band continues to teach KU students what it means to make the most of their college experience.

Students lend hand to local farms

Clark and his wife Barbara have been on the land for 17 years, and promote organic and locally grown food.

Amid rows of yellow tomatoes, red peppers, bush beans and basil at Maggie's Farm north of Lawrence, three students stood — shovels in hand — ready to work.
They started shoveling compost out of a bucket that was attached to a bright orange tractor.
They shoveled and until the 100-foot row was covered with compost.
The students aren't farmers, but they do have an interest in local farming.
They're a part of a student-run initiative called Support for Local Organic Farms, which hopes to get students involved with local farming.
Chase Hamilton, a senior from Topeka and the organizer of the initiative, started the project last April. He was an Alternative Breaks director for weekend breaks and organized a trip to Maggie's Farm.
decided to make a way for farmers to get regular help. That's when he started Support for Local Organic Farms.
Julia Barnard, a junior from Lawrence (right), helps Barbara Clark (left) pick basil from bushes grown on Clark's farm, called Maggie's Farm, just outside Lawrence. The farm sells its produce to many businesses in the Lawrence area, including the Merc, Wheatfields, and others. Barnard was there with other KJ students to help out on the farm as part of an initiative to support and promote locally grown, organic food.
After realizing how much help local farmers need. Hamilton
He said one reason local farmers need help from students is that farming is significant time investment.
"It's a 24-hour job," he said. "You can't take vacations."
The group works with four local farms around Lawrence: Maggie's Farm, Thellman Farms, Karlin Family Farms and Pinwheel Farms.
These farms help supply Lawrence restaurants with local produce. Maggie's Farm, for example, sells produce to Genovese, Wheatfields and The Merc.
"I feel more connected to my food," she said.
Julia Barnard, a junior from Lawrence, got involved with the initiative when Hamilton asked her to help out. Before that, she said she wasn't very interested in organic farming. Now she has a different outlook.

The students go to a different
Barbara Clark of Maggie's Farm said the student's work has helped the farm she and her husband, David, own to continue running. As she and her husband have gotten older, she said, it has been harder to get everything done.
The students help with different tasks around the farms. Hamilton said it's more than planting and harvesting — those only happen once a growing season. The students have helped put up lattices, shovel and mix compost and shear sheep, too.
Jordan Wade, a graduate student from Charlotte, N.C., used scissors to clip off the tops of basil. The basil she harvested went to Genovese. She said she was involved with farming in Austin, Texas, before coming to the University. Wade said helping out with local farming provides a well-needed break from school.

Senator plans to battle bullies
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughtonkansan.com
He's heard some comments about himself—he's even been called a slut. But Kris Velasco considers himself fortunate that he's never been seriously harassed or bullied because of his sexual orientation.
Velasco, a sophomore from Wamego, attributes this to Lawrence's liberal attitude and the diverse group of friends he has always surrounded himself with. Velasco said he thinks it depends on where someone lives, but even growing up in rural Kansas — where he said he knows people talked behind his back — he never experienced harassment first-hand.
"I get harassed more from the gay community for not fitting in with them than I do from the straight community," Velasco said.
But across the country,derogatory comments have led to the suicides of several teens who were reportedly bullied about their sexual orientation. The suicides of several young people, including Tyler Clementi,a freshman at Rutgers University, has prompted demand for protection for teens and students against harassment and bullying.
Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey announced his plans on Oct. 6 to draft legislation that would require federally funded colleges to create policies prohibiting the harassment and bullying of any student. Clementi's death is the driving force behind the bill.
Lautenberg plans to introduce the bill when the Senate is back in session in November.
A survey for Campus Pride's 2010 State of Higher Education for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people reported that LGBT respondents were significantly more likely to experience harassment when compared with their heterosexual

Burglary decrease may be due to new security steps
CRIME|7A
Based on campus statistics from the past 12 years, burglary has been at a low during two of past three years. Campus safety officials credit this to improved security measures, such as lighted pathways and better resources for students in dorms.

Proposed mosque in Tennessee sparks debate

simply ridiculous."
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Federal attorneys on Monday jumped into a court battle over the construction of a Tennessee mosque by offering legal proof that Islam is a recognized religion entitled to constitutional protection.
Mosque opponents are challenging whether the county acted properly in granting the construction permit. Their complaint claims that the county failed to determine whether the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is entitled to protection under the First Amendment. They have also
U. S. Attorney jerry E. Martin of Nashville said his office would not sit by while mosque opponents raise questions in court about whether Islam is a recognized religion. Martin said in a statement that to suggest otherwise "is quite
Martin's office filed a brief saying as much in a state lawsuit brought by mosque opponents against Rutherford County for granting permission for construction of the building.
claimed that the county violated the state's Open Meetings law in the approval process.
Martin said his office was not intervening in the lawsuit itself to take sides, but attorneys felt the need to weigh in on issues raised during three days of testimony in Rutherford County Chancery Court.
"Plaintiffs' implication that Islam is not a recognized religion by the United States is wrong and is not supported by any authority whatsoever," he said. "The right to assemble and worship as you
please was literally the genesis of this country"
Martin said during the testimony, a county official was questioned on whether Islam was a federally recognized religion.
"All three branches of the government have repeatedly recognized Islam as a religion," he said.
He also noted that Congress enacted the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act in 2000, which specifically forbids local governments from using land regulations to unfairly prevent people from building churches, synagogues, mosques or other places of worship.
Martin said his office and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division have been monitoring the case and doing outreach with Muslims in the area.
Although Martin said the lawsuit was a local matter, he added that the Justice Department supports the county's decision to approve the site plans earlier this year.
The lawsuit asking a judge to stop the construction is ongoing.

Chris Bronson/KANSAN
Rebecca Neville, sophomore from Birningham, Indiana, introduces herself to the judges at the Black Student Union Homecoming Crowning Ceremony Monday at 7:30pm at Woodruff Auditorium. Neville was crowned queen, becoming the face of BSU. In 1970, a black woman was denied the crown as the University's first black homecoming queen. After that, BSU began a tradition of electing its own queen. It is the only KU organization to do so today. "It's a proud tradition of BSU, that's not just about black students, but everyone. We are looking to gain interest from the whole student body, in not just this event, but everything else we do," said Amber Jackson, BSU president.
counterparts. They were seven times more likely to indicate the harassment was based on their sexual identity, according to the survey.
BILL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, said he is not sure if singling out the gay community is the most effective way to go about this epidemic of harassment and bullying.
According to the press release from Lautenberg's office, the bill would also create a competitive grant program at the U.S. Department of Education to help colleges and universities establish programs that seek to prevent harassment and bullying, including the harassment of LGBT students.
Anti-harassment policies are not currently required by law, although many universities have their own versions of protection policies already implemented.
Earles said some great steps have been taken in the past in terms of protection for minorities and this or any bill needs to include equal protection for all minority groups.
sistant to the provost for policy, said the University of Kansas currently has relevant policies that do provide some protection.
Jeannette Johnson, as-istant to the present
At the University, discrimination based on sexual orientation, marital status and parental status has been prohibited for some time.
Last year, upon the recommendation of the University Senate, that policy was changed to include gender identity and gender expression.
Johnson said the University has prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation for more than 20 years.
But there is no current policy that explicitly states or addresses bullying as a form of harassment and Lautenberg's bill would also require schools to recognize cyber bullying as a form of harassment.
Velasco said he is happy that something is being done about bullying and harassment, but the effects and the role of social media and the Internet also need to be included in these discussions.
the circumstances surrounding it, a columnist for Rutger's student newspaper, The Daily Targum, referred to the Internet as "basically steroids for bullying."
In light of Clementi's death and
Velasco said technology's development rate has surpassed the government's ability to address it and any problems that may incur.
Ultimately, Velasco doesn't think there is a need for a "special" policy because it will still be violated.
"I think it is our job as students and the campus community to keep people aware," Velasco said. "A policy is a technical solution and we need more of an adaptive solution that would change the mind frame and mentality of those around us."

The Center for Sustainability is hosting four workshops this week to facilitate discussion and gain interest in the Campus Sustainability Plan, a comprehensive sustainability plan for the Lawrence Campus.
As the plan begins to take shape, University officials are looking for

The workshops mark the early stages of the planning process. University officials and students involved with the project said they'd like to see a draft completed by Earth Day on April 22.
what theyd like to see incorporated in the plan, said Laura Hewitt Sparks, a graduate student from Portland, Ore., and an intern in the Center for Sustainability.
the goal was to have a final draft ready by June to present to the provost and the chancellor.

The Campus Sustainability Plan incorporates the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), a comprehensive rating system that tracks a broad range of sustainability efforts. Stacey White is the director of academic programs for the Center for Sustainability. She said while she hoped the Campus Sustainability Plan closely followed STARS, it needed to be tailored in a way that fit the University's unique needs.
"This will be the first time we actually have goals we can measure," White said. "This will allow
us to see are we moving in the right direction, the wrong direction or are we standing still."
The first workshop is today from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in room 216 of Marvin Hall. The three remaining workshops are scheduled for later this week: two on Wednesday and one on Thursday.

But in an e-mail to supporters, Biggs notes a recent television report on the race showed an old picture of him, with a mustache.
Biggs says people told him they liked the mustache but he'll let contributions settle the issue.
He's asking people who want him to regrow it to give donations starting with even numbers, such as $200. People who like him mustache-free can give amounts starting with odd numbers.
Both the Democratic incumbent and Republican challenger Kris Kobach are clean-shaven.
TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Chris Biggs is letting supporters decide whether he'll regrow his mustache — as a campaign fundraising gimmick.

FOREIGN POLICY
Prize sends strong message to government and activists
When China thought the rest of the world wasn't watching, it
Last week the Nobel Peace Prize Committee rewarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiabo, giving him the worldwide attention he deserves. The Committee should be internationally commended for the message this sends to Chinese authorities who continue to deprive Liu and so many others of their basic human rights.
Let's Talk Policy
Liu's imprisonment is a consequence of his writings urging the Chinese Communist Party to embrace democratic reform. His co-authoring of Charter 08, a political manifesto modeled after Czech Vaclav Havel's Charter 77, is his best-known "offense." The document has been signed by more than 10,000 Chinese citizens, many of whom have since been punished for their support. Chinese authorities claim Charter 08 and Liu's other writings have encouraged the subversion of state power.
BY MEGAN ADAMS
In response to Liu's recognition, China cancelled many high-level visits with the prize's host country, Norway, and imprisoned Chinese citizens who made their support of Dr. Liu publicly known. Some have even reported the Chinese state banned Liu Xiaobo's name from being texted.
While China's response has been childish at best, President Obama was right on the mark supporting the Peace Prize Committee. It is high time the international community acknowledged such a hero. Silence is consent, and for too long the world has done nothing but wag a finger at China for such actions. The Peace Prize has the teeth to get the ball rolling on the serious issues of China's lack of human rights.
for such a powerful title was a meal promotion; the ability to buy individually prepared meals in prison according to the New York Times. Through diplomatic channels his release is possible, but only if countries like the United States commit to such a politically toxic task.
Although you might not have recognized his name before, I guarantee that within our lifetime Liu will be known globally as a champion of human rights, just as his predecessors, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela are today.
Unfortunately, Liu's only reward
In his final statement before his sentencing on Christmas Day last year he noted, "I hope therefore to be able to transcend my personal vicissitudes in understanding the development of the state and changes in society, to counter the hostility of the regime with the best of intentions, and defuse hate with love."

GUEST COLUMN
Conspiracy theory lives on
Whether you believe in them or not, people love to hear ghost stories. You probably had a pretty boring childhood if you didn't spend at least one sleepover or camping trip trying to tell the best and creepiest horror story or most ridiculous urban legend. Like we do with horror movies, most of us enjoy the scary thrills of a good story - we can experience the feelings of the situation without actually being part of it.
Conspiracy theories are part of that fascination because although no one seems to actually believe in them, they're still fun to talk about, and we're willing to let them creep us out sometimes.
Take for instance the theory that Paul McCartney has been dead for more than 40 years and was replaced by a lookalike. Although one website claims that there are 376 documented clues that Paul died in an accident in late 1966, it seems as if many of these were pulled out of nowhere just to keep the theory, and the fun, alive. The majority of the clues appear to be taken from song lyrics, reverse playing of the songs themselves, and album covers and pictures; not many are supported by official documentation. For example, supposedly if you play the beginning of "Revolution 9" backwards, you'll hear "turn me on, dead man" and at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever," someone says "I buried Paul." Certain lyrics also point to Paul's death, including in "Come Together" ("one and one and one make three") and in "She's Leaving" it states "Wednesday
morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins" which is the proposed day and time of Paul's death. On many album cover and pictures, Paul is distinguished from the rest of the group; on "Abbey Road," he's out of step from the others and barefoot (a tradition for burying corpses).
The Sgt. Pepper cover has a "grave" of a guitar, an open palm is shown above Paul's head (another indication of death), and if you place a mirror in the middle of the drum, an arrow points to Paul next to the words "He Dice."
The most fascinating part about conspiracy theories is not the surrounding speculation and rumor mill, but the people taking them so seriously. The creator of Officially Pronounced Dead? - The Great Beatle Death Conspiracy, although he has list upon list of evidence, has several pages disproving the theory, which attests to its true nature - a fun story that probably isn't true. One minor Internet
While I don't believe that Paul McCartney is actually dead, there are admittedly a suspicious number of clues. If there is a real conspiracy at all, it's more likely that The Beatles planted some "evidence" to drive people insane and generate more interest in the band. The Beatles were a fun-loving bunch, so it's not impossible to believe they decided to play a prank on their fans. Still, all four Beatles denied planting false evidence, so the most likely conclusion is that people like to look for patterns and signs. If they concoct a theory, they'll find ways to make the facts fit and not the other way around.
celebrity, however, has taken it to extremes by posting videos on YouTube with images and audio relating to the dead Paul theory, writing songs that sound like Beatles songs when you play them backwards, and even planting suitcases at various locations around the world with supposed clues. Of course, no one knows his or her real identity, but the celebrity theorist has implied recently that he or she came upon explosive evidence that once belonged to a long-dead former assistant of McCartney, which may be revealed.
Perhaps this fan hasn't gotten more attention because he or she is just another cook, a crazy person who can't let go of an idea that can't be true (according to general opinion). But almost all of the greatest scientists in history were considered insane or ridiculous until their theories were proven correct years later. While it seems unlikely that Paul McCartney is dead, it's possible that this believer has evidence of something just as monumental.
These sorts of theories can help us to not be passive observers of the world around us. By looking for hidden meanings behind our books, films, music, and whatever else, we're able to interact with them in a deeper way. And then who knows? Maybe we'll find and open doors that we never even dreamed of.

SEXUALITY
New research finds some things to be better left unsaid
She chose 13 subjects for her experiment. The subjects were rated on eight aspects on a scale of one to 10. She supported her findings with extensive descriptions and bar graphs.
What sounds like a scientific study by a dissertation candidate is a female student's fake study on the sexual performance of 13 student athletes at Duke University. The 52-page report identifies each "subject" with name, pictures and elaborate anecdotes of their flirting attempts on the author and their sexual act itself.
While the fake report, dressed as a Power Point presentation, was only meant to be seen by her friends, it leaked to the Internet and from there it made its way to jezebel.com, which first published the entire document, and the headlines of many other news outlets.
There are several issues emerging with this case.
First, the author seems to have received a good education at Duke University. She clearly learned how to conduct a semi-scientific study and present her findings in a way that makes her purpose for the study clear. Despite the frequent use of informal expressions and slang, this document has some academic flair to it. Kudos to her professors.
Second, the author (whose name I think has been published enough) has clearly invaded the privacy of the student athletes by publishing details about their sexual performances, which she has already apologized for. Some of the athletes with good ratings may not mind, but others will, particularly those with bad ratings or small "packages" (term used by the author).
Third, what the author has not apologized for and does not regret is having conducted the "study" and created the document in the first place. Some hailed this as an act of emancipation from common gender stereotypes. She is aware
Let's Talk about Sex
---
BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI
of her sexuality and is not afraid to talk about it as a woman. She uses sex to her amusement and is not shy of admitting it. Is she a slut or a heroine?
It still aggravates me that sexual conduct is not treated equally with men and women. Yet, having grown up in the same society with the same values towards gender equality, I couldn't help myself but thinking ill of the woman who forgot hooking up with a guy because she was too drunk, and didn't really care about it either. But I also thought it was brave of her to be honest about her behavior that, despite the publication aspect of it, didn't hurt anyone. If a man had published the report, I would have condemned him to eternal abstinence.
Is that a double standard? Certainly. But we are all shaped by the belief and value system of our surroundings. Changing it requires great determination and a lot of critical thinking. It's hard but necessary to liberate ourselves from other people's doctrines and start thinking ourselves.
Let's begin today by congratulating the author of the "study" to her self-confidence and courage. If people have a problem with her attitude, let them waste their own energy on complaining. But, please, dear author, refrain from disclosing the identities of your "subjects" in the future.

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.con
"Understanding basic science and advocating that the people in charge of the country understand basic science is not extremism. Anyone opposing evolution is clearly not fit for public office. If you believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed, I don't need to know your economic views. You're a nutjob and belong in a church or somewhere far, far away from any seat of power"
— "Zomgzmg" in response to "Evolution should be litmus test for public office" on Oct.14.
"I am a citizen, not a soldier. But when I weigh the evidence, I see pockets of tyranny in America. Pockets are like insurgents — it is a guerrilla battle to defeat them. You can do it like the Guatemalans did or you could do it like Obama is doing it in Pakistan, McCarthy was the indiscriminate and wholesale destruction of a movement. I prefer the surgical strikes from drones. Inserting the fear of monitoring into a bunch of kids who think they have all the answers is surgical. The joke is on me because these kids will never become "community organizers" funded by a foreign campaign of anonymous donors. It is just KU, not Harvard. Also they won't care about this idle threat of mine. From my experience with anarchists, the authorities are aware of those who have made trouble."

Campus incidents of burglary on the decline
BY GARTH SEARS
gsears@kansan.com
Budig Hall has been missing a projector since September, a loss valued at $4,200. The burglary was unusual because of what was rooted and because there simply haven't been that many burglaries this year.
The number of burglaries on campus have been steadily dropping for more than a decade. In 1997, 348 burglaries were reported on campus. In 2009, the most recent year available, there were 63, according to the Public Safety Office's 10-year crime statistics.
"We work hard to educate the campus about crime prevention and much of that is paying off", said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office.
Jamesia Carter, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., said the blue emergency phones posted around campus and the police patrolling campus make her feel safer. She said she knows all of the security officers at her dorm, GSP, too.
Based on the past 12 years of records, the two years with lowest incidents of burglary were in 2007.
with 98 burglaries, and in 2009,
with 63.
Bailey said the KU police have increased both the number of cameras in parking lots and the number of police officers on patrol. Bailey also attributes fewer burglaries to smarter decisions by people on campus - things such as locking doors or not leaving belongings unattended.
"The community recognizes they can fight crime through simple changes." Bailey said.
DAISY HILL
Someone snuck into a supply room and stole the Budig projector off a shelf during a September weekend, according to crimereports.com, the website that the Public Safety Office links to for its daily crime log. The case is unsolved.
But as a testament to reduced burglary recently on campus, only two other alleged burglaries are listed on crimereports.com. Both involve cars that were parked outside of a dorm on Engel Road.
Twice this semester — once on Sept. 3 and once on Oct. 2 — cars parked on Engel Road were bur-
glarized. The car that was allegedly burglarized in September was missing a bookbag with books and money that was valued at $453. The car that was allegedly burglarized in October was missing cash and an iPod, valued at $540. Neither case has been solved.
Residence halls pose extra security problems for University police, because the halls include clusters of homes and cars.
Yet the number of burglaries at residence halls improved dramatically last year. There were 30 dorm burglaries in 2007 and 38 in 2008. But, only nine burglaries allegedly occurred last year, according to the University's recent Clery report.
Bailey said the police work with the Department of Student Housing to keep students living on campus safe. Among the programs to protect students is an employee training program.
"Officers spend a lot of time in the halls talking with staff, conducting presentations and simply having a presence in the buildings," Bailey said.
Kristi Marks, a sophomore from Eureka, said the cameras that the University installed at the doors of
her dorm, Corbin Hall, makes her feel more safe.
Marks said her car was broken into at Corbin last year, but it wasn't her who reported it to police. Police informed her — with the guilty man already caught.
"I think police response here is excellent," she said. "They're very efficient."
The Clery report - which counts burglary differently than the 10-year crime stats online, because it doesn't include car burglary - tracks how much of campus crime happens at dorms.
Even comparing them to the burglaries on campus overall, the number of residence burglaries on campus are improving.
Of all burglaries on campus, 46 percent happened in residence halls in 2007. Again in 2008, the amount stayed at 46 percent. Last year, the nine dorm burglaries represented only 24 percent of burglaries that occurred on campus.
Bailey said residents in particular should know that they can help fight crime on campus.

Condom use low among young adults

who look out of place, lock doors, follow the rules regarding the swipe card door system," he said. "It all helps."
If sex were a class, college-aged men and women would get an "E". According to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior published Oct. 1, men ages 18 to 24 use condoms only 45 percent of the time, and women ages 18-24 used condoms only 38 percent of the time.
"The biggest problem with birth control is that people think they know more than they actually know," said Ken Sarber, Health Educator for Student Health Services.
Chelsea Johnson, a junior from Lawrence, is a member of

the Human Sexuality Education Committee at the University. Johnson said the fear of appearing promiscuous prevents people from regularly keeping condoms on hand.
"Even beyond the health aspect, unprotected sex can have a lot of psychological consequences," Johnson said.
"Some people just don't keep condoms with them because they want to look 'good' or 'better'." Johnson said. "But when they inevitably have sex, they do it without protection."
The Human Sexuality Education Committee is a student organization that offers a nine-week long course on human sexuality, taught by former KU professor Dennis Dailey. DeAnna Coyle, president of the committee, said there are more than 40 students in the classes who attend regularly. The classes focus on all facets of sexuality, including body image, how sex influences personality, anatomy,
under the influence of alcohol?
Sarber said this carelessness inevitably leads to great risk.
Nineteen million new sexually transmitted infections occur each year; half of those occur in people between the ages of 15 to 24, according to the National Prevention Information.
With perfect condom use, there is a 3 percent chance that pregnancy will occur each time a couple has sex. With imperfect use, a woman has a 15 percent chance of becoming pregnant.
The NSSHB also found that when in a committed relationship, college-aged men and women are 50 percent less likely to use a condom. If a monogamous couple decides to have unprotected sex, much thought must go into the decision-making process, according to Sarber.
"Partners need to be asking each other important questions," Sarber said. "How many partners have you had? Did you use condoms every single time? Did you have sex

Gill sees upcoming games as new season, time to change
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
After two losses to start the conference season, coach Turner Gill and the Jayhawks are still trying to improve every facet of their game. The improvements, if they occur, are much needed as the team has been outscored 114-14 by their
first two conference opponents. Halfway through the year, Gill sees the next six games as a new season.

Pick were two players lost in the rotation shuffle. Pick was benched week two in favor of freshman Jordan Webb, and Webb's Georgia Tech performance solidified his starting
spot. After a leg injury against New Mexico State forced Pick off the field the last two games, the quarterback is returning to 100 percent health.
Webb's lackluster performances the last two weeks have led to questions by fans and media on the quarterback position. Before Pick's injury, Webb was playing great and no one questioned his role as starting quarterback. After Pick went down there was no doubt Webb would remain the starter. Now things have changed.
Webb will start against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday night, but
Gill is leaving the door open for a relieve appearance by Pick.
"Jordan Webb is going to start the football game, that's for sure," Gill said. "As far as all the things that take place, we're going to take those into consideration."
Quigley started the season No. 1 on the depth chart. His carries diminished after the first two games however, only getting one carry against Southern Miss and getting shut out of the rotation against New Mexico State and Baylor. When called upon last week against K-State, Quigley answered with a much needed boost to the stagnant offense, getting 70 yards on 16 carries along with the jayhawks' only touchdown of the night.
Angus definitely came in and gave us a spark, Gill said. "He was probably the one good spark we had, as far as coming in and making plays for us."
Gill confirmed that Quigley is in the mix for playing time and a final decision will be made in practice leading up to the 6 p.m. kickoff Saturday.
The weekly mips ups on the depth chart might give these former starters a second chance to breathe life into the Kansas offense as the second half gets underway.

Michigan State starts season 7-0 for first time since 1966
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
EAST LANSING, Mich. — This is new for Michigan State — history it isn't trying to avoid.
Coach Mark Dantonio told his players in a celebratory locker room that — with Saturday's 26-6 victory over Illinois — they had become the first Michigan State team to start 7-0 since 1966, when names like Duffy and Bubba were synonymous with national excellence around here.
its quite possible that there are MSU players whose parents weren't even born the last time the Spartans reached 7-0.
"When Coach D told us about that and how it's been that long," receiver B.J. Cunningham said, "we just kind of looked at each other shocked. It was like, 'Really? It's been since 1966?' It's a big deal to achieve that kind of history."
"It hasn't sunk in yet," defensive end Tyler Hoover said. "The coaches told us that we should be proud of what we've accomplished up to this point, but we can't just sit on what we've done and think
that's it. We're going to have to put this one away and concentrate on next week."
Expectations change when you're 7-0. Definitions of successful sea change
desire running with the big dogs. If they're serious about wanting to be taken seriously, the mission statement for the past five games must be BCS bowl or bust. Simply settling for a secondary New Year's

7-0 is now unacceptable.
That's how the big dogs roll,
MSU.
"When you talk about (44) years, I was 11,"
Dantonio said. "That's not a bad deal."
The Spartans have 10-win seasons twice in their 115-year history: 1965 and 1999. Their lone 10-win regular season was 1965, when they won the national championship.
"This is something that we haven't experienced around here," Cunningham said, "but it's important that we don't look beyond the next game on our schedule. Everyone is excited. Every game gets bigger."
It's not just big. It's huge. The Spartans likely will reside among the top 10 in the first BCS poll released tonight. They will get more national attention for their uncanny resilience the past month and now finally must leave Michigan for a road game. They're at Northwestern next weekend and at Iowa on Oct. 30.
The Spartans looked flat early Saturday. They looked ill-prepared. Even worse, they looked cocky. They have become one of America's college football darlings the past three weeks with their recuperating coach and knack for making the right play at the right time. But they cannot afford to
take any opponent for granted.
Let's just say coordinator Pat Narduzzi sang to his defense a few choruses of the four-letter aria at halftime with the Illini up, 6-3.
"Yeah, you could say it got a little colorful there," Hoover said. "The intensity wasn't there. We've had a lot of emotional games lately. But we found a way to crank it back up and make the plays we needed to make in the second half."
They resembled a legitimate Big Ten contender against the Illini, counting on their defense to compensate for the lack of a ground game and a rather passive passing attack.
This is tarried air for MSU football. But just being good shouldn't be good enough now.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Loss despite best game for defense
Ahmad Black knew it wasn't the defense's best game. It was still a Florida loss.
But for the senior safety, it came back to one thing — 10 points.
The Gators had given up a season-low in terms of points scored, but offensively couldn't get enough to beat Mississippi State on Saturday.
The loss dropped the Gators (4-3, 2-3 SEC) out of the Top 25 rankings for the first time under coach Urban Meyer.
"We gave up 10 points," Black said. "Obviously, we didn't play our best. We still got things to work on. We just gotta keep getting better."
Statistically, though, Florida defense remains 16th nationally in total defense.

Jayhawks,be courteous fans
MORNING BREW
During fall break, I had an unfortunate run-in with a student and fan from the University of Missouri. I had never met this fan before. He was the friend of a friend of a friend. Needless to say I could sense his lack of civility toward the Jayhawks immediately.
I'll put a caption here, but it's not legible.
Let's try to be as faithful as possible.
BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Now normally I'm not a confrontational guy; I love all sports and have respect for all teams. I even managed to have a good-natured conversation on a plane with a Vikings fan (the Vikings being my absolute least favorite team of all time), because underneath it all our love of contests of athletic prowess overcame our hatred of the other's team.
That wasn't the case with the fan from Mizzou. What made matters worse was the fact that Kansas had just received one of the worst drubbings in history at the hands of Kansas State, and Mizzou was ahead of Texas A&M.
The worst part about our confrontation was the absurdity of the facts he used to justify Mizzou's superiority. He started out claiming that I had to agree that this year Kansas-Mizzou basketball would be a legitimate rivalry. (Considering the jayhawks 18-6 record against the Tigers since 2000, including an undefeated record at home, I would say it's been pretty one-sided.) When I countered with Kansas' fantastic
2008 with an Orange Bowl and an NCAA championship, he claimed that didn't matter because him and me were still in high school when that happened.
Considering he said that he had driven through Lawrence once and didn't find it interesting, his argument has to be taken with some skepticism.
The final straw came when the fan from Mizzou claimed pride in burning down Lawrence in the 19th century. If I can't claim the 2008 Orange Bowl and the 2008 NCAA Basketball championship, how can he claim the something that predates our lives by more than a century?
THE
MORNING
BREW
Coming from out of state I hear about the long and storied rivalry between these two colleges, but it's impossible to fully grasp the depth until it's experienced first hand. And after my weekend run-in, my
loathing of Mizzou has never been greater. I can't wait until the Jayhawks get the chance to show the Tigers up at Arrowhead stadium on Nov. 29. No matter what the rankings going into that game say, I have full confidence that it will be a fight to the finish. Because unlike the Sunflower Showdown, the Border Showdown has a violent history that traces back to one of the darkest times in American history.
Just like in the Civil War, Kansas will prevail. And in the scenario that they don't, Jayhawks can always utter what turned into my favorite response all weekend: just wait until basketball season.
Edited by Anna Nordling
When the Big 12 conference announced its television schedule for week eight on Monday, the Jayhawks were not mentioned for the first time this season. The decision not to air the Jayhawks' game against Iowa State University also snaps a 22game televised streak by Kansas. The Jayhawks have played on Fox College Sports, Fox Sports Net and ESPN so far in 2010.

Now one week after whipping then-No. 1 Ohio State, at home with ESPN's GameDay crew on campus, the 10th-ranked Badgers face a crucial Big Ten Conference game at No. 13 Iowa at 2:30 p.m. CDT on Saturday.
One week after whipping them No.1 Alabama, at home with ESPN's GameDay crew on campus, the 10th-ranked Gamecocks suffered a huge letdown and lost last week at Kentucky.
MADISON, Wis. — If Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema wants his players to see the wrong way to handle prosperity, he can show them highlights of South Carolina's last game.
"You always use examples in the world of college football," Bielema said Monday when asked if he planned to remind his players of the Gamecocks' misstep. "But as a coach you want to make you sure you (don't) talk your players into something."
Translation: Bielema wants the Wisconsin players preparing as they have all season rather than worrying about the prospect of suffering an emotional letdown after beating the top-ranked team in the country.
Bielema noted the players' preparation was as good for Austin Peay, a Football Championship Subdivision program, as it was in the days leading to the Ohio State game.
"We talked about all week about not having a letdown
THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS
against a team you're better than," Bielema said of the Austin Peay game in Week 4. "They had the right response that week.
"They had the right response (last) week and I think they'll have the right response this week."
That remains to be seen. However, UW (6-1, 2-1) should be close to full strength physically for the key game against the Hawkese (5-1, 2-0).
The victory last week was Bielema's first in four games against the Buckeyes.

Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington gets a hot past two Oklahoma defenders Saturday evening. Garlington led the Jayhawks with 10 kills, but Kansas was swept by Oklahoma three sets to none. After she graduates, Garlington will begin an internship at the Mountain West Sports Network in her hometown, Denver. She is one of the team's most accomplished players, according to the 2010 Kansas Valley FACT Book.

In the 2010 Kansas Volleyball Fact Book, the story of Karina Garlington is written in denselypacked type, three points smaller than that used in the rest of the book, in order to fit her lists of accomplishments on one page.
In the course of her college career, the six-foot senior outside hitter has collected All-Tournament awards from Lawrence to Richmond, Va., and Laramie, Wyo.
Now in her fourth successful year at Kansas, Garlington begins to steer toward home.
Soon an internship at the Mountain West Sports Network will take Garlington back to her hometown, Denver. She said it would be an ideal situation.
"I came in for an interview and
it was a perfect fit," Garlington said. "I loved it and so it was perfect. It's right by my house."
She will move home with her sister and do marketing and public relations work for the network, which provides television coverage of Mountain West Conference sporting events. Her parents still live nearby.
Garlington began playing volleyball at Grandview High School in Denver, where she helped the Wolves to three consecutive district titles and back-to-back state championships, while at the same time performing as a two-time MVP in springboard diving. She had been diving since seventh grade, and didn't give it up easily, even when volleyball coaches beckoned her to their teams.
She said the coaches allowed her to pursue both sports under the
assumption that she would ultimately choose volleyball.
"And I did," she said. "I didn't dive my last two years of high school — which was, I mean, it was a good and bad decision. I mean, I don't regret it at all, just because I love being part of a team."
She said she liked having other people around to enjoy success with her.
As a freshman at Kansas, Garlington saw limited time on the court in the beginning, but worked her way into the starting rotation starting in 18 of 29 matches. She began leading the team in kills in some matches and recording
And there was plenty of success to go around In addition to the Grandview Wolves, Garlington competed with the Front Range volleyball club, winning back-to-back national championships.
double doubles. In her sophomore year, Garlington earned a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Third Team, went Academic All-District and Academic All-Big 12 First Team, and the American Volleyball Coaches Association named her National Player of the Week on Nov. 11, 2008. In her junior year, Garlington was Academic All-Big 12 again and picked up All-Tournament honors in Fayetteville, Ark, and Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Garlington said the success did come at a cost; it was a challenge to earn good grades while constantly traveling and missing class.
"It was never an option for me not to be successful academically," said Garlington, a sports management major.
She stressed the importance of taking advantage of all the academic support that the program
offered.
"I just really made it a priority to stay on top of my work and study real hard," she said.
She said there had been many occasions when she had studied until 2 a.m., because she simply did what she had to do.
Beyond returning to her home,
Garlington said she didn't know
what the future held for her.
"Goals for the future? I mean, I'm completely unsure," she said. "Which I think is good and bad. I mean, right now, I don't know of anything I don't like to do. So, I'm really excited to get some experience in something other than athletics and try to find out what I want to do with my life."

How would you define swagger? If you're cool, confident and know
you're the man, you probably have swagger, right? Well, if you're a Rivals.com No.1 recruit in this year's freshman class, you probably have a little swagger.
Late Night offers look at Selby's talents
Did you see him during the skits? He was having a ball out there. The kid who won the McDonald's All-American slam dunk contest last year is going to be fun to watch.
Late Night in the Phog was our first look at freshman guard Josh Selby and yes, he has swagger.
More importantly, Selby brought his talents to Kansas with hopes to replicate what attracted him to Lawrence in the first place.
That's all fans can ask. It's far fetched to think Selby will ever collect as many wins as Sherron Collins did. It's not unreasonable, however, to think that Selby can be the leader of this team.
"We've got a lot of guys who could do that: me, Selby, Kieff, Mario and Ty can," junior forward Marcus Morris said. 'We have a lot of weapons this year, as we did last year.'
"The 2008 National Championship," he said. "That's when I knew it was best for me to be here."
This season Kansas does have quite the artillery, including players with a possible future in the NBA. And Selby is a player who could potentially go pro after one season at Kansas. But that's not something to be bitter about. He brings a fun personality and an exciting game to a team thats eager to redeem themselves after a disappointing end last year.
Although he hasn't officially been cleared to play this season, I'm not hearing many people who are overly concerned. That includes Selby, who after his debut in the Late Night scrimmage, shared his feelings on his Twitter account.
"I was so nervous," he said.
"But now I'm good. When the season come I'll be good."
Last week, Selby was named the Big 12 preseason freshman of the year and received Big 12 preseason honorable mention honors. Unlike most freshmen in the conference, and nation for that matter, Selby will be moving into a spot in the lineup previously held by the most successful basketball player in Kansas history.
"I don't feel that I need to show the fans that I'm the next Sherron because the fans just want to win," he said. "That's all I'm here for, is to win for my team."

SHARING IS CARING
CALL FOR PAPERS
Evan Palmer/KANSAN
Omri Gillath, an assistant professor of social psychology, and Ruth Ann Atchley, an associate professor of cognitive psychology and department chair, pose Monday afternoon in Professor Gillath's office. Gillath, Atchley and Mohamed El-Hodin (not pictured) have been given a grant to figure out why people give to others and why generosity exists. The research plans to focus on behavioral, cognitive and neural causes of generosity.
Unlocking secrets of generosity
Researchers received a grant to study the science of generosity
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
A few nights ago, Virginia Heinen, a junior from Leavenworth, agreed to add an extra couple of hours onto her shift at On The Rocks Discount Liquor so her sick coworker could go home.
"She wasn't feeling well, and I
really didn't mind staying for an extra couple of hours," Heinen said.
However, not every student on campus would have been so generous.
To understand just why that is, three KU researchers are now studying what makes some people act generously while others do not.
The study is funded by a two-
year grant from the University of Notre Dame's Science of Generosity Initiative.
The researchers are Omri Gillath, an assistant professor of social psychology, Ruth Ann Atchley, associate professor of cognitive psychology and Mohamed El-Hodiri, professor of economics.
Gillath defined generosity as "the act of giving," which does not have to include donation money.
He said anything anyone does throughout the day can be done generously. Examples could include professors spending an
extra 10 minutes with students after class or residents doing service within the community.
Gillath said the researchers want to find out who is more likely to be generous. He said the trio is also interested in finding a connection among generosity and a person's sense of security.
"We're focusing on attachment theory, which suggests that if you feel more secure in your relationships you feel loved and cared about, and if you feel there are people out there that will help you when you need it, you're more likely to be generous yourself,"
Gillath said.
"I love everyone I work with. We're just like a group of friends, so it was almost like doing a favor for a friend," Heinen said. "And I know she would do the same for me."
Heinen said she has a great support system in her life, filled with great friends, family and coworkers.
The research will take many different forms, ranging from self-report questionnaires to studying participants' brain activities.

Perkins to face public hearing in November
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor.kansan.com
Douglas
The Kansas Government Ethics Commission announced Tuesday that it will hold a public hearing on complaints against former Athletics Director Lew Perkins.
The hearing will be Nov.16 at 1:30 p.m. in the commission's Topeka office. Director Carol Williams said the commission is considering two complaints against Perkins.
The first complaint alleges that Perkins received athletic equipment at his home for free by Medical Outfitters. The complaint alleges Perkins received the equipment in 2005 and that it remained in his home until 2009.
The second complaint alleges that, also in 2005, Parkins requested and received physical therapy sessions from employees of The University of Kansas Department of Sports Medicine. The ethics commission's complaint says this is a violation of a state employee policy.
Perkins could receive up to $15,000 in fines. Williams said the commission can issue a maximum fine for the initial violation and a maximum fine of $10,000 for the second violation.
Williams said the commission will present the facts of the case publicly and then can go into executive session to determine whether to issue a fine. The commission's final decision, however, must be made publicly. The commission can also send the case to the attorney general's office for criminal prosecution.

While natural gas has an excellent safety record, it is possible to have a leak by accident or misuse. You can't see a leak, but you can smell it. We add a harmless odor to make sure you can. Many people compare it to the smell of rotten eggs.
If you think you smell natural gas, don't strike matches, switch lights on or off, use the telephone or ring the doorbell. Don't open any windows. Any of these can create a spark that could ignite the natural gas.

Students key for sustainability plan
BY ALLYSON SHAW
ashaw@kansan.com
The University is going green and it wants students to help.
Graduate students in urban planning are working with the KU Center for Sustainability this week to host four brainstorming workshops for the Campus Sustainability Plan. The plan is the first of its kind at the University and aims to make campus more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
"We hope that a plan with broad student input will have broad student implementation," said Jeff Severin, director for the center.
Phil Englehart, professor of urban planning, attended yesterday's workshop, along with 12 students. Englehart said he would like to see the notion of sustainability integrated into the whole university
curriculum.
"In my class, we certainly address it," he said. "But it needs to be a part of every class."
The issue of transportation kept emerging during yesterday's workshop.
"West Campus is so spread out, especially with all the space used up by parking lots," said Nate Vanderbroek, a graduate student from Denver. "But it can be scary to ride my bike on West Campus. The best option for many students is to drive."
Marci Francisco, Kansas state senator and Center for
One group of students suggested increasing the charges and fines for parking. They also thought adding a GPS system to the buses, so students knew exactly where they were at all times, would make the bus system more user friendly.
Sustainability analyst, said that a push for sustainability must also come from the faculty and staff. For instance, Francisco said, faculty should be more aware of how much paper they waste
During the workshop, Severin asked attendees what challenges were to increasing sustainability. Vanderbroek said that low finances were a hindrance, but Francisco disagreed.
"Revenue doesn't drive everything," Francisco said. "Bottled water is more expensive than gasoline, but we keep buying it. It must be bigger than that. We're just so used to some things."
Severin said the workshops were just the beginning of the process to create the sustainability plan. The next step is to send the ideas generated by students to 10 specialized working groups,

composed of graduate students, which will research the ideas and formulate the plan.
He said he hoped to have a draft of the plan by April 22 — Earth Day — and the draft done by June.

Lawyers request consistency in trials
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court should rely on the same evidence a trial judge considered when he overturned California's same-sex marriage ban and reject efforts by the ban's sponsors to supplement their case with "distortions and misstatements," lawyers for two same-sex couples say.
In a brief filed with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Monday, the attorneys for the
couples who successfully sued to strike down Proposition 8 countered arguments that Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco conducted a one-sided trial.
They say the evidence was overwhelmingly in their favor because lawyers for the voter-approved measure's sponsors decided to call only two witnesses compared with the plaintiffs' 17, and they failed to provide credible studies or convincing corboration for their claim that marriage should
be limited to a man and woman to promote responsible childbearing
Those proponents "now attempt to fill the evidentiary void they left in the district court with an avalanche of non-record citations, distortions and misstatements regarding the proceedings below, and baseless attacks on the good faith of the district court," the couples' lawyers said. "The tactic is unfortunate, unbecoming and unavailing."
Protect Marriage, the coalition of religious and conservative
groups that qualified Proposition 8 for the California ballot two years ago and triumphantly campaigned for its passage, has asked the 9th Circuit to overturn Walker's August ruling.
The group's lawyers argued in written arguments submitted last month that the judge had "quite willfully" disregarded a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court precedent and other relevant information when he decided the measure was an unconstitutional violation of gay Californians' civil rights.
PERKINS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Williams said she could not disclose when the complaints were filed but they were signed and notarized on Sept. 7. On that same day Perkins announced his retirement. Perkins' retirement came a year earlier than originally announced during a June press conference..
The University cleared Perkins of ethical violations in June after a week-long internal investigation. Perkins' attorney, Stephen McAllister, said he referred the evidence to the state ethics commission after the University completed it's review.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little ordered Allen Humphrey.
program director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity, and Mary Lee Hummert, vice provost for Faculty Development, to review allegations made by William Dent, a former Athletics employee.
Hummert told The Kansan in August that the internal investigation found no relationship between the loan of the equipment
Dent alleged that Medical Outfittersloaned Perkins equipment in exchange for favorable seating at athletics events. He also alleged that irregularities existed in Athletics' drug testing policy and in the eligibility certification of some student athletes.
and preferential seating for the nowbankrupt company'sco-owners. One of Medical Outfitters' co-owners, Marc Glass, told media this summer that Perkins was loaned $15,000 of exercise equipment to help him rehabilitate from surgery. Glass also said that Perkins was never expected to pay for the equipment, but Perkins wrote him a check this past April for $5,000.
The Chancellor's office was called for comment Tuesday afternoon. Jack Martin, deputy director of University Communications, said the University has said throughout this process that the ethics commission was the appropriate venue for the matter.
"They look at state's ethic laws and how those apply and universities' investigations look at a different set of issues," Martin said.

STUDY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Gillath said the neuroscientific aspects of the research would allow him and his colleagues to look into specific areas of the brain that are active when a person performs a generous act. For example, the researchers would be able to tell whether behaving generously makes individuals feel happy, sad, exhilarated or simply relaxed.
Gillath said the first steps of the research have already been completed, and the researchers received some encouraging results.

El-Hodiri said that he is enthusiastic about the research, regardless of what specifics the team is able to learn.
Gillath said.
"If we can find, deep in the recesses of our brains, a way to re-humanize people, then maybe we are up to something." El-Hodiri said. "I enjoy the ride, anyway."
Ultimately, the researchers hope they would be able to use the findings to spur generosity.
"Especially during these hard economic times, being able to encourage generosity and to get people to think about others is something very important,"

about the 1999 film. "For them, it was a wonderful surprise. But Cubans knew about this music forever, it was all they knew."
Sydney Stone, the Program Assistant for the Center of Latin American Studies, said that she chose the four documentaries to portray a diverse look at Latin American current events, culture, and history. She says they focus of immigration, music, South American history, and politics.
The first movie shown, "The Take," was about workers in South America taking over an idle factory to fight the globalization taking over their country. "Buena Vista Club" was a documentary that brought a group of legendary Cuban musicians together for to record a CD.
The next movie,"Letters from the Other Side", will be shown on October 26. It is a look at a compilation of stories from Mexican immigrants and the complicated issues that polarize the problem of immigration in the United States.

"Because the world is becoming more of a global community," Hastings said, "it is good to understand where people come from."
The film festival will conclude with a film by Oliver Stone entitled "South of the Border" on November 9. Stone interviewed political leaders of many South American countries including President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Evo Morales of Bolivia, and Raul Castro of Cuba. The documentary looks at the media's misperception of South America and the social and political movements happening in those countries.
The events are free and each movie begins at 7 p.m.

Gibson to revamp image with movie
LOS ANGELES — It worked with Mike Tyson in "The Hangover." But can director Todd Phillips make a celebrity cameo uncomfortably funny with a much more, er, complicated figure?
The New York Post reported Monday that Mel Gibson will play a Bangkok tattoo artist in "The Hangover 2." Two people close to the production confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Gibson will play an American expat living in Thailand.
Gibson and Phillips have not worked together before, but the director is clearly hoping that the riff on real-life events will elevate the laugh factor — and the shock value — of his movie. Gibson, meanwhile, is no doubt banking that a little self-referential humor could rehab a screen career that needs all the help it can get.
It's unclear if the purported tattoo artist is a totally fictional character or if Gibson will be playing himself, banished to tattoo artistry in the wake of his scandal. Either way, the casting news raises inevitable distinctions between Tyson, who was generally seen as a troubled but liked figure at the moment "Hangover" came out, and Gibson, who still rankles many. A lot can happen in seven months — the movie is set to come out in May.

Star saysTwilight best is yet to come
MOVIES
LOS ANGELES — "Twilight" fans love to debate their favorite novel in Stephanie Meyer's bestselling vampire series. Kristen Stewart says she has her own favorite — and it's the most explicit and intense of the bunch.
"This one's really good. This one really goes there, finally," said the actress who plays the iconic Bella Swan of "Breaking Dawn." "This one is like the forming of a family. You see everything really come to fruition because I feel like (Bella) has sort of gone through an accelerated growth period."
In November, Stewart will reprise the Bella role when she begins filming the first half of "Breaking Dawn," the fourth movie in the "Twilight" franchise, which will be directed by Bill Condon. The story follows Bella's marriage to vampire Edward Cullen (Rob Pattinson), as the two finally consummate their relationship and Bella becomes pregnant.
"At this point," Stewart says, you do accept (Bella) as a mom."
Because their child is half-human and half-vampire, Bella's pregnancy is riddled with complications — all leading up to a dramatic birth scene, in which Edward tears open Bella's stomach with his teeth to save their baby.

you'll have to wait a few years for the next collection of antics from Johnny Knoxville and the "Jackass" crew? Don't fret. It will likely be only a few months.
After the blockbuster opening of "Jackass 3-D" which sold $50.4 million in tickets in the U.S. and Canada over the weekend, Paramount Pictures is considering what to do with a wealth of footage that didn't make the big-screen cut.
One option is a second theatrical release, which would let fans see it as it was shot.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Defending evolution litmus test
In Wednesday's UDK there was a response letter to my Oct. 11 letter to the editor. Based on the title of the letter, I was expecting to read a critique of Keynesian economics, which would have been a fine and welcome response despite the fact that I never actually endorsed Keynesianism. What I read, however, was anything but. It was written like freshman who just learned a few new concepts in his Political Philosophy 101 class and decided to name drop them all over his Wikipedia researched letter, in a sophomoric attempt to inform UDK readers that he knows some things about economic theories.
But to the point, nothing I wrote in any way suggests that I think Communism, Marxism, and Socialism are antithetical. From what I can gather this was the crux of his argument. That however, practically by definition, is what's called a 'straw man' argument. Seriously, how can anyone who makes such specious arguments be taken seriously? The very point of my letter was that I didn't think the Tea Partier was debating could articulate
the details concerning Marxism, Socialism and Communism, and hadn't even heard of Keynesianism. I was trying to highlight the fact that, as in the case of evolution, people have the unfortunate tendency to reject theories they clearly do not understand. So regardless of how Keynesianism relates to communism and socialism, the point was that people rush to criticize Obama's policies when they don't fully understand them and proceed to misrepresent them. Of course Keynesianism is not the opposite of socialism, but neither is it coextensive! It has less to do with workers controlling the means of production and everything to do with the idea that stimulus spending in a deep recession is more effective at job creation than tax cuts. I think that difference matters.
Also, regarding evolution, my point was not that belief in evolution alone is a good indicator for electability. I was simply suggesting that when candidates like O'Donnell say completely absurd things about evolution, that should serve as sufficient grounds
to disqualify them. So pointing out that there exist libertarian Tea Party members who do believe in evolution is completely irrelevant. Suggesting that I thought belief in evolution was both necessary and sufficient for electability was yet another straw man argument.
Finally, I hope the author realizes that 'collectivism' is such a generic term that it includes virtually everything but laissez faire economic systems and outright anarchy. Anything rooted in social contract theory is a form of collectivism. So clearly the author is either a misguided Ayn Rand objectivist, a foolish anarchist, or just a very confused Glenn Beck enthusiast with a Napoleon complex. The author's entire response was nothing but one big straw man argument that completely missed the very point of my letter. Ironically, it in fact illustrated my point!
Also, the Tea Partier in question was far from imaginary... it was my Limbaugh-loving dad.

'Glee' gives murky view of religion providing emotions over reason
GUEST COLUMN
Part of the focus of the episode was aimed at the gay member of the group, Kurt Hummel. Coincidentally, he is also an atheist. After his father suffers a heart attack and ends up in a coma, Kurt is accordingly offered support in dealing with the tragedy by his fellow glee club members. Many of the members try to share their personal religious beliefs with Kurt, knowing that these beliefs had proven therapeutic for themselves in the past.
I am a little late to the "Glee" party. My first episode was last week's "Grilled Cheesus." It was slightly hard for me to appreciate the style of the show as many others are able to, what with the singing and musical drama feel. While I can understand the musical talent the members possess, musicals just are not my top priority when it comes to television. Pushing through this, though, the content of the episode was what caught my interest.
It seems that the strongly religious members of the group are also portrayed as the most naive. While Kurt appreciates the fact that his peers are trying to aid him in coping with his catastrophe, he does
While a lack of belief may hold negative implications for them, they lack the ability to realize that others have differing opinions on the subject. Presenting this view of the religious may have been the writers' intents on a meta-cognitive level. However, on the surface it appears that one has to be damaged, as Kurt is with the condition of his father, to be atheist. If this is "Glee's" intent, writers certainly ignored the option of atheists coming to their conclusions without pain and suffering. "Glee" depicts a traditional interaction of atheists and the religious. Another aspect to note is Kurt's singularity in his non-belief — often atheists are in the minority, or even alone in their view when in a group.
not have to accept or believe what they are trying to impart to him. When his religious friends gasp in shock upon hearing he is an atheist and insensitive to their prayers, they forget the fact that not everyone believes in God. Furthermore, they treat it negatively.
The fact that Kurt is gay as well as an atheist paints a mirror-like picture, as both of these stereotypes
hint of an outside or non-majority group. This enforces the common mindset that both of these groups are abnormal. To some, they may even be absolutely wrong. Additionally, it illustrates the opinion that homosexuality leads to atheism or vice versa.
"Glee" writers may be trying to shed light on their views about atheism and religion, be it for better or worse regarding either belief system. Ultimately, the show produces a murky view of atheists and the religious alike, casting into doubt their true intentions. "Glee" is a popular show; it is important for it to present a fair and balanced look at any issues it chooses to illustrate. Then, viewers can rationally reach their own conclusions rather than be emotionally influenced by any biases in the show. Whatever "Glees" intentions may be, this episode gave an accurate depiction of what sometimes happens when the two are seen together.

POLITICS
Society continues to stereotype government
Though it took quite some time—and pain and blood—American society has made great progress correcting stereotypes based on waevard beliefs.
We have moved beyond June Cleaver expectations for women and Jim Crow restrictions on blacks. Granted, there's still room for enlightenment on issues such as immigration and religious tolerance, but I'm confident we will find benevolence quicker than the 144 years it took to pass the 19th amendment.
Despite our progress, for some reason we can't get past one pesky stereotype that has haunted the American psyche since its inception: the fear of big government.
It's sad that old fears may detour such an ambitious and historic presidency.
Many translate our founding fathers' fortitude to escape the rule of a despotic, overreaching monarch into an aversion of any attempt by the federal government to protect its citizenry through regulation. Despite what some conservatives would have us believe, regulation is not the

The financial meltdown resulted from the ravenous greed of Wall Street investors and average Americans continue to suffer the consequences.
The real estate market took off in 2001 when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to 1 percent. Banks, investors and consumers went all-in on the housing market.
Wall Street investors walked away with bonuses, AND nobody was arrested for the financial firestorm.
Since the financial crisis, more than six million homes have been lost,and more than four million more homes will be lost by 2012. Millions of Americans are currently treating on foreclosure.

rush to process voluminous amounts of paperwork are so woefully behind that they have resorted to rubber-stamping foreclosures.
Also lost in the paperwork are unaccounted deeds, lost in the securitization of the mortgages. Banks have not bothered looking at the paperwork, nor have they made any serious effort to modify loans. In some cases, banks can't even determine the rightful property owner.
This is why Obama's Making Home Affordable Program is failing—banks in a zealous desire to turnover foreclosures and drowning in the paperwork. Homeowners are unfairly losing their houses because banks are ill equipped to clean up the mess they helped create.
It's back to business for the banks, while the American dream for the middle class goes bankrupt.
Keeping Americans in their homes has been a priority for the Obama administration, but the banks are not doing their part. This means more government intervention is needed. As Paul Krugman of The New York Times argues, the federal government needs to step in and clearly define property rights. And if the over-burdened banks cannot devote qualified manpower to modifying loans, then public entities should be created with the power to modify loans directly.
If that takes a federal moratorium on foreclosures, then so be it. It's time the victims of the financial crisis get precedence over their assailants.

Sophomore center jeff Withey walks on crutches after being introduced at Late Night in the Phoo Fridav evening at Allen Fieldhouse. Withev has been unable to practice since breaking his right font on Sent 4. one of several injuries he has sustained since inning the team in 2008.
Withey wants to be done with injuries
The sophomore center has broken three body parts while at Kansas
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
Without the presence of Jeff Withey's seven-foot wingspan at practice, the Jayhawk big men are getting spoiled.
"it's kind of a wake-up call when he comes back," sophomore center Thomas Robinson said. "You're not going to run into many seven-footers that can move like jeff."
Withey, a sophomore center, recently had the cast removed from his right foot, which he broke Sept. 24 during individual workouts. He is now wearing a protective boot and is on crutches.
It's just one of many setbacks that have kept the seven-footer off the court since he came to Lawrence.
“it's really frustrating.” Withey
“All I can do is be optimistic.”
When Withey moved from Arizona to Kansas in December of
2008, he couldn't play until after the fall 2009 semester because of transfer rules. In October of 2009, he suffered a stress fracture in his right knee, shelving him for about six weeks.
Just before the start of summer break this year, he broke his hand. Still healing from his most recent injury, the broken foot, Withey said he would try his best to emulate the intense boot camp he missed.
His time spent watching practice hasn't been wasted, at least not mentally.
"I'm just trying to get the game through a mental state," Withey said. "It's a different way of looking at practice."
Coach Bill Self said last week that Withey was progressing just as the doctors said and would be close to full strength by Nov. 1.
Until Withey gets back up to speed, Robinson and junior forward Marcus Markieff Morris will be making the best out of having no one to block their shots.
"We're all pretty much the same size, so there's not that many blocked shots," Robinson said of himself and the twins. "When Jeff comes back and uses the same moves, the shot ends up in the second row."
Marcus said Withey's abesence had made the team move up and down the floor more, improving
the team's speed. But there is no replacing the luxury of practicing against a guy who can defend the rim as well as Withey can.
"I haven't seen too many people dunk on Jeff since I got here," Morris said. "Maybe Keef once, maybe I did once. I think that's it."
Last season, Withey's absence wasn't asnoticeable because the Jayhawks had current Oklahoma City Thunder center Cole Aldrich owning the paint. If the team wants to perform well against the other big men in the country, Robinson said, they need someone who can do it.
In the grand scheme of this sea
leff Withev is that guv.
son, Self said he doesn't know who his two bigs were going to be. Here what he does know: Aldrich was one of the best big men in the country last season and he is no longer with the team.
"I don't know if we can replace that." Self said.
The closest thing the layhawks have to Aldrich's inside presence is Withey, but he needs to be on the court long enough to show it. He knows that more than anybody.
"You can't do anything but sit over there and wish you were playing," he said.

After painful losses, Kansas focus only on the positive
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
Coach Turner Gill and his coaching staff have spent the last two weeks working on a unique kind of jigsaw puzzle. They have moved players around, set up different rotations, and changed schemes on both sides of the ball, still trying to capture that elusive first Big 12 win. With all
the different problems the team has faced, that puzzle has been anything but easy to put together. Players who were on last year's squad haven't won a conference game since Oct. 10, 2009. A drought that long could cause some players to panic, but senior running back Angus Quigley said that pressing the panic button is the last thing this team needs right now.
"Panic's not going to help
anyone. It will just spread like a virus through the team," he said. "This is a time when leaders, as captains — everyone will look up to us."
Quigley has been on the team since 2005, and he said that listening to sports radio or listening to reporters won't help either, whether the team is winning or losing.

COMMENTARY
One season isn't enough time for Gill to prove his worth at Kansas
W ith six games left in coach Turner Gill's first season, the
spotlight is burning on his back to show a final sign that the Kansas football program will not take a stage dive into the pit of the Big 12. Despite the negativity pointed at Gill after the recent losses, people need to remember that most coaches need more than six games to build a program.
There is talk from the media and fans questioning Gill's job security if the season turns out to be one huge blowout like the last two games. There is finger pointing from everyone who witnessed Kansas' shining moment three years ago when it won the Orange Bowl as to whose fault it is for this embarrassing season.
Many of the fingers point to Gill, and with the Athletics Department in search of a new athletics director, the fingers are starting to press on Gill.
But Gill remains positive, as usual, in his outlook on the future of Kansas football. In a press conference yesterday, Gill emphasized his belief in his staff's ability and experience, as well as in his players' resilience and talent.
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
He also defended the slow start to the season and his role in it as a coach.
"I think there are opportunities that have been proven all over the place across the country where you do have things that don't start off very well and your program is able to turn it around." Gill said of other schools that have hired a new coach to resurrect programs.
This has been seen in our very own state. Former coach Mark Mangino, in his first year as Kansas football's coach, led the team to a 2-10 season. But the pressure on him to perform wasn't as great considering he was taking control of a team that had shown no success since the 1995 Aloha Bowl.
In that first season, Mangino lost three games by more than 50 points. Six years later he had an Orange Bowl ring on his finger
Kansas State's Bill Snyder led the Wildcats to a dismal 1-10 record in his first season at Kansas State in 1989. It took him four years to get the Wildcats to a bowl game.
that he could point at people.
But now more than ever, the need to win weighs heavy on every coach at every Big 12 school. Coach Gill is working with a group of players that Mangino recruited. He is simultaneously converting them from a spread offense to a balanced run-focused attack. Some might call those excuses, but the timeline for excuses to become fixes is dwindling.
Gill said things will turn around at Kansas — he just doesn't know how long it will take.
"We have faith in what we're trying to do offensively and what we're trying to do defensively," he said in yesterday's press conference. "Again, you're trying to put all of those pieces of the puzzles together to try and make sure you get the mesh."
The spotlights will burn brighter during the next six weeks, but it is too soon to put on the search lights for a new coach.

Steelers deserve a better Ben
MORNING BREW
Last weekend was the moment I'd been waiting for. I got to see my Pittsburgh Steelers play with the quarterback that led their team to two Superbowls.
Superbowls. I love the way Big Ben plays, it's not perfect, and he throws picks like it's his job, but he plays with passion. I love the fact that it takes five players to finally bring this guy to the ground. He has the ability to do the impossible, make that throw that not many other quarterbacks would be able to make.

The Steelers were a team that earned respect. The Rooneys have no trouble cutting players who get themselves into trouble like Plaxico Burress or Santonio Holmes. And in a way, I feel like this team deserves better than a quarterback whose morality is practically questioned on a year-to-year basis.
Even if the media blew this out of proportion and Big Ben was just a guy being a guy, he still owes it to his team, to the city and its fans to keep himself out of those sorts of situations. Yeah, maybe some guys can go into a bar and maybe do what Big Ben did without anyone accusing him of anything, but those guys are not

I know I'll still cheer and marvel at his must-win demeanor, but I feel a little bit like a kid who just heard Santa Clause isn't real, but pretends he is so he still gets the presents. It's sad and irreversible. Ben Roethlisberger, no matter how hard he tries, will never be that innocent, down-home guy from Ohio again.

PGA champion Martin Kaymer might have had the best feeling.
In an opening day led by the two alternates, Toms got off to a fast start before losing momentum with a pair of bogeys. He still managed a 4-under 67 at Port Royal Golf Course for a one-shot lead

Despite rain delays, Nate Barbee played well enough to win his first individual tournament of the year at the Bill Ross Intercollegiate in Kansas City, Mo.
Jiorl Jeff Bell brushes debris away from his ball Tuesday morning during the second round of the Bill Ross Intercollegiate tournament. Bell pitted his first two rounds with a 75 and an 80.

Barbee shot 213 to finish the tournament at three under par.
"I'm really happy for him," coach Kit Grove said. "He works his butt off and he has been off to a slow start and he's been struggling, especially for him, especially after the superb year he had last year."
"Hopefully this allows him to turn the corner and get back to doing this on a regular basis," Grove said.
Other players recorded low scores that helped the team place second in the tournament.
"I'm happy with second. Obviously the goal is to win," Grove said.
Sophomores Chris Gilbert and Alex Gutesha tied for 23rd place in the tournament. Gilbert opened up with a 73 on Monday before coming back and shooting a 75 and a 78 on Tuesday. Gutesha opened with 78 on Monday before improving to 75 in his second round and finishing with a 73 in his final round.
Junior Doug Quinones shot 75 Monday before shooting a 78 in his second round and a 74 in his final round Tuesday. Senior Jeff Bell shot 75 on Monday before shooting an 80 in his second round. He recorded another 75 in his final round.
Central Arkansas won the tournament with a total score of 876. The host, UMKC, finished in third. Northern Iowa and Missouri State rounded out the top five.
"I'm happy with second," Grove said. "Obviously the goal is to win and we were in a really good spot going into the day."

Rangers rout Yankees 10-3 one game from World Series
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — No disputing this: The Texas Rangers are routing the New York Yankees and are now just one win from their first trip to the World Series.
Aiming for a Series matchup against San Francisco or Philadelphia, Texas has outscored the Yankees 30-11, outit them 43-26 and would have swept if not for wasting a five-run lead in the opener. Nelson Cruz hit the last of Texas' four homers, a two-run drive that gave the Rangers seven homers in the series and 15 in the postseason.
While the Yankees are seeking a record 41st pennant, Texas is trying to reach its first World Series since the franchise started play as the expansion Washington Senators in 1961.
Bengie Molina hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off A.J. Burnett in the sixth inning. Josh Hamilton added a pair of solo drives to give him four in four games and the Rangers battered the Yankees 10-3 Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series.
Instead of trying to avoid Cliff Lee, the Yankees can only hope to force a Game 7 and face him again.
Game 5 Wednesday will have a rematch of starters from the opener, with the Yankees CC Sabathia against C.J. Wilson. Since the LCS went to a best-of-seven format, 24 of the 30 previous teams to take 3-1 series leads have winnets pennants.
On a night of contested homers,
Texas left no doubt with its long shots. Fans started streaming out of Yankee Stadium as the Rangers pulled away in the late innings.
It was a costly loss, too, for the defending World Series champion Yankees. All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira limped off in the fifth inning with a strained right hamstring. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the team would likely replace Teixeira on the roster with infielder Eduardo Nunez.
In contrast, Alex Rodriguez has been a bust against his former team, going 2 for 15 (.133) with two RBIs.
Molina's two-out homer came after an intentional walk and put Texas ahead 5-3. Before he circled the bases and pounded a fist against his chest — and left Burnett
clasping hands behind his head — not much was clear.
Robinson Cano hit a second inning home run off the top of the right-field wall that left Cruz screaming and pointing after a fan appeared to block him from making a possible catch.
Two batters later, Lance Berkman hit a high drive down the right-field line that was clearly foul but initially was ruled fair by umpire Jim Reynolds. After a video review just the third in postseason play since the process began two years ago — umpires reversed the call and ruled it foul. The Yankees didn't even argue.
An inning after Molina homered, Hamilton added a solo shot off left-hander Boone Logan, who had just come in. Hamilton and Cruz homered off Sergio Mitre in the ninth.
Derek Holland pitched 3-2-3 innings of scoreless one-hit relief after he replaced Tommy Hunter, who was knocked out in the fourth inning.
Holland, Daren O'Day and Clay Rapada walked the bases loaded
in the eighth with Texas leading 7-3. After Darren Oliver's 0-1 pitch may have glanced off Nick Swisher's back foot — there wasn't a call or argument — Swisher flied to short center on the next pitch, dropping to 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position in the playoffs. Berkman followed with an inning-ending forceout, and Oliver finished for a save.
Burnett, who took the loss, was one out from making it through six innings, more than the Yankees could have expected.
Pitching to backup catcher Francisco Cervelli, starting because he catches Burnett more often than starter Jorge Posada, the erratic right-hander with a sharp curveball and explosive fastballs in the early innings and pitched well until allowing Molina's homer.
After throwing 23 of his first 29 pitches for strikes, Burnett lost his rhythm in the third.
The $82.5 million man had lost seven of his last eight regular-season decisions, was dropped from the rotation in the first round and hadn't pitched since Oct. 2.

Kansas suffered a 0-3 setback at home against Oklahoma on Saturday. Coach Ray Bechard said the key to the match against Texas (12-5 overall, 7-2 Big 12) would be in serving and passing.

The all-time series record sits in Texas' favor at 27-4, with Texas winning the last 11 meetings. In conference play, the Longhorns have become an offensive powerhouse, leading the league in hitting percentages. As a team, Texas carries the best average in the Big 12 at .282. Kansas has held past opponents to an average hitting percentage of .172. Longhorns also occupy the No. 1 and No. 2 individual spots in the Big 12, with senior middle blocker Jennifer Doris at the top with a .455 average and junior middle blocker Rachel Adams at .443.
Texas outside bitter Amber Roberson has caught fire in her last two matches against Oklahoma and Texas Tech, averaging more than four points per set and an efficiency of .354. Roberson equaled a career-high 13 kills at Oklahoma and topped that in the Texas Tech match by recording 17 kills with an efficiency of .500 and adding six digs, two service aces and two blocks.

League hopes to stop helmet hits
NFL

In the wake of several helmet-to-helmet hits from Sunday's NFL games, some of which caused injuries, the league will immediately begin suspending players for dangerous and flagrant hits, it was announced Tuesday.
There could also be suspensions handed down as a result of some of Sunday's hits. Eagles wide receiver
DeSean Jackson suffered a concussion after being slammed in the helmet by Atlanta cornerback Dunta Robinson, and Browns receivers Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi were injured on hits by Steelers linebacker James Harrison. The hit on Massaquoi is being reviewed by the NFL.

"Who knows the team the best? That's the guys that are in the huddle," he said. "We try to keep things in-house and don't worry too much about what's outside."
What is in-house is the teams lack of execution. Quigley, Gill and other players talked about the team's poor playmaking. Outside of DJ. Beshears' kickoff returns, every part of Kansas' game has played a part in its four losses this season. Lack of defensive execution has stood out to Gill the most.
The defense is last in the Big 12 with a turnover margin of minus seven. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb doesn't believe the doomsday predictions he's heard by outsiders either.

To further drive home that point, Webb said, on every offensive play in practice the receiver or running back with the ball channels his inner Jerry Rice and takes it to the end zone no matter where he is on the field (Rice was famous for taking every catch he made in practice into the end zone).
"I honestly don't think it's as bad," he said. "There's been so

3-0 Giants extend lead over Phillies

SAN FRANCISCO — Cody Ross and Aubrey Huff hit RBI singles in the fourth inning against Cole Hamels and Matt Cain shut down Philadelphia through six innings to help San Francisco Giants take a 3-0 lead over Philadelphia in Game 3 of the NL championship series Tuesday.

GIANTS
After splitting the first two games in Philadelphia, the Giants got the early edge against the Phillies thanks to another strong outing by Cain and another timely hits by Ross.
Hamels retired the first nine batters before new leadoff hitter Edgar Renteria lined a single to right to open the fourth. With runners on first and second and two outs, Ross delivered once again for the Giants with a line drive to left field.
Ross hit three solo homers in Philadelphia and drove in four of San Francisco's first six runs of the series. He has long been a thorn in Hamel's side, with his four home runs that most any hitter has against the left-hander.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain throws during the first inning of Game 3 of baseball's National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday, Oct. 19, in San Francisco.
Ross finally got some help from his teammates when Huff's grounder went off the glove of diving second baseman Chase Utley and into right field for another run-scoring hit.
Those were the first runs allowed this postseason by Hamels, who pitched a five-hit shutout in the division series clincher against Cincinnati. That was the sixth career postseason win for the 2008 NLCS and World Series MVP, tying Hall of Famer Steve Carlton's franchise record.
The Giants added another run in the fifth inning when Freddy
Sanchez's soft liner took a tricky hop off Utley and into shallow center field to score Aaron Rowand from second base on the single.
Cain entered the game 0-3 with a 6.23 ERA in five starts against the Phillies — the highest ERA he has against any NL opponent. He had no such trouble early on in this game, picking up where he left off when he allowed no earned runs in 6 2-3 innings in the division series against Atlanta.
Cain allowed two hits and two walks, striking out five. He escaped trouble a few times, holding Philadelphia hitless in four at-bats with runners in scoring position. The Phillies have just three hits in 32 at-bats with runners in scoring position this series.
Cain even retired his nemesis Utley all three times, getting him to fly out to center field in the first inning, ground out with runners on first and second to end the third and ground out with a runner on second to end the fifth. Utley was 7 for 15 with three homers off Cain in the regular season, with his .467 average the fourth highest of any opponent.

Gabbert keeps life private amidst teams' wins
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Last week's game against Texas A&M, Missouri quarterback junior Blaine Gabbert allowed Monday, "was personal for me."
Just as he seemed ready to elaborate, though, he audibled.
"It was our turn to show people that we're here to stay," he said.
So much for the revelation.
Yet from all indications to close observers, Gabbert's dynamic performance in Missouri's 30-9 win indeed reflected a ratcheted-up intensity beyond even his usual lasered-in approach.
Because, it seems, of doubters.
And it was a frame of mind he might be expected to assume again
this week with BCS No.1 Oklahoma coming to town.
If last week was a local referendum on the program, and in some ways its quarterback, this week it's on a national scope:
Consider the ABC broadcast, the ESPN College GameDay invasion and sheer stakes in what perhaps is the biggest game the Parkway West product ever has played in.
Even on the lesser scale last week, sophomore receiver T.J. Moe said after the game, Gabbert simply was on another plateau as he threw for three touchdowns in MU's win.
"You could see it in his eyes," Moe said. "There are some people like that, where you can really tell."
Expounding Monday, Moe said,
"When he was in the locker room,
he didn't say a word. ... He was in his own mind."
While Gabbert seldom lets the media in those crannies of his cranium, the reasons for last week's enhanced urgency appear clear.
Between the so-called high hip pointer he suffered against Colorado, perceived jabs at him and the fact A&M's Jerrod Johnson had been named preseason All-Big 12. Gabbert evidently distilled it all as skepticism about him.
MU coach Gary Pinkel echoed Moe in suggesting Gabbert perhaps had been more locked in, but he thought it was because of the injury.
"Maybe when you go through something like that, your focus goes to a whole new level," he said.
To be sure, Gabbert wouldn't have been able to achieve anything last week or even much of last season if not for his quality of being able to cope with injury.
Just as he continued on with a bum ankle last year, he easily could have been waylaid by the hip injury that Pinkel referred to as a rib issue after the game.
Or that he's got happy feet, as some detractors like to say. Or that Oklahoma's too good for MU to handle.
Whatever else might be said about him this week, figure that what he'll hear is he's too hurt to play.
That will help him make it personal as he tries to show MU is here to stay.

Wisconsin coach learns from errors
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
So what do you think of Bret Bielema now?
When they won 12 games during his first season five years ago, the Bielema dissenters said it was because he had Barry Alvarez's players. When they lost six in 2008, they said it was because of Bielema's knuckleheaded decisions.
Granted, it's not the most important question here as a fairly crucial juncture of the season, the midpoint between Wisconsin's victory against No. 1 Ohio State and another big game Saturday at Iowa, but I'm asking anyway because it's the one issue that never seems to leave the room, no matter the state of the Badgers.
When our UW beat writer, Jeff Potrykus, blogged on the topic after Bucky crushed Ohio State, the reaction pointed to that which has been apparent since Alvarez handpicked Bielema before the 2005 season:
While it's not true that the Badgers have the most polarizing football coach in the country, it's fair to say that few with anything close to Bielema's 44-15 record elicit such conflicting emotions from the fan base.
No matter what Bielema does, a certain segment among the Grateful Red just isn't going to
like the guy
Sure, that's the case at a number of places,
but why does it seem so applicable here?
No doubt, Bielema has done and said some silly, immature things while on the clock as one of the state's highest-paid workers. All or a portion of that has a tendency to rub some people the wrong way.
were times when, reflective of the coach, the team was not sufficiently disciplined. There's that Herky the Hawkeye tattoo. He can be blunt and arrogant. But so could his boss and predecessor, although few made it an issue with Alvarez because he won and usually comported himself the way we expect a head football coach to act.
I've been critical of the way Bielema has handled certain things. I didn't think he took immediate responsibility for his game-turning personal foul two years ago at Michigan State. He's thrown underlings under the bus after losses. He was wrong for trying to run up the score against Minnesota, no matter the weak explanation.
So maybe here's a better question:
In all those scenarios, you expect more out of the football coach, especially at a place like Wisconsin. You demand stand-up, accountable behavior.
Nevertheless, you've got to give it to the man on several levels.
To me, it's apparent he's growing as a person. And if you want to measure him as a football
coach
I'm not advocating a lifetime contract for Bielema in such a fluid business ... But for the here and now, the coach is acting the part.
What do you want from your football coach?
To be older and established like Joe Paterno? Buttoned-down and dignified like Jim Tressel? Even-mannered like Kirk Ferentz?
If it seems like we're separating personality from results, move to the head of the season-ticket line.
Bielema is also 40 and single.
He has been known to enjoy his life outside the job. There
Paterno was 42-10-1 after five years at Penn State. Tressel was 50-13 after five at Ohio State. Ferentz was 32-28 after five at Iowa. With five games to go in his fifth season at Wisconsin, Bielema is in or beyond that company.
you know,
b e y o n d
44-15 —
he probably didn't get enough credit for Ohio State.
The Badgers could not have been more prepared, more poised or more disciplined to thoroughly beat a No. 1 than they were Saturday night. The leadership exhibited by the Badgers, especially from the offensive linemen, has to start somewhere.
So if you're asking me what I want from a football coach, it is preparation, discipline, poise, leadership and citizenship from the top down, the type that came through loud and clear against a more talented opponent.
I'm not advocating a lifetime contract for Bielema in such a fluid business. What happens from Iowa onward, who can say? But for the here and now, the coach is acting the part.

Ann Ailor, an alumna with a degree in nursing, gives Derek Holmes, a sophomore from Lawrence, the flu shot Tuesday afternoon in the Kansas Union. The flu clinics offer flu shot injections for $15 and nasal mist for $20.
Don't let this season's flu get the best of you
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
Body aches, a chest-burning cough, fever, chills and fatigue. Sound like fun? Sarah Hutchings, a senior from Topeka, can attest from personal experience that it is not. In August of 2009, Hutchings fell victim to the H1N1 virus and suffered those symptoms for seven full days.
"It was awful," Hutchings said.
As this year's flu season kicks off, students can easily prevent themselves from suffering Hutchings' fate. By getting a flu shot at one of KU's on-campus flu clinics, the quick prick of a needle can greatly reduce students' chances of warding off the nasty virus for five to six months.
Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said KU clinics only charge $15 for a flu shot and also offer a nasal spray for $20.
Quinlan said students should get a flu shot, because if they don't, they may miss major class time. Most students don't sweat missing a class every now and then, but Quinlan said odds are that students with the flu will miss more than just a few lectures.
"Getting 'influenza is not a choice. It wipes you out for days on end — anywhere from three to seven days," Quinlan said. "If you

A VISIONARY PROJECT
BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com
Somewhere thousands of miles from Lawrence, a child walks through his village — but everything is blurry. It's possible that he has never clearly seen the faces of his parents, siblings or friends. A pair of prescription eyewear could change that.
Tyler Reynolds, a 2010 graduate of the University, recently founded "JOOS: Eyes Toward Progress," a movement that hopes to provide eyewear to those in need in developing nations.
"Vision is everything," Reynolds said.
When you give someone vision, he said, you're giving that person a new life, too.
According to the World Health Organization, about 314 million people around the world are visually impaired. Eighty-seven percent of these people live in developing countries.
Reynolds said he has always been interested in optometry and helping people overseas.
He said he had heard of TOMs Shoes creator Blake Mycoskie, who donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes he sells. Then he had the idea to do something similar with eyewear.
Howard Ting/KANSAN
In January, Reynolds heard Mycoskie speak at the Lied Center as part of the Student Lecture Series.
Now, Reynolds, Tim Shockey, who is a fellow 2010 graduate, and Liam Kirby, a senior from Lawrence, are working together on the movement.
OJOS is teamed up with a nonprofit group. New Eyes for the Needy, which is based in New Jersey. It gathers glasses collected by other organizations. Eyewear that is donated to OJOS is sent to New Jersey and then New Eyes for the Needy distributes the eyewear overseas.
"I thought to myself, "This is fate" Revnolds said.
After that, he said he went home and started "laying out the blueprints" for OJOS.
MICHAEL ANDERSON
From left, Tim Shockey, Tyler Reynolds and Liam Kirby are working with OJOS to give people in need prescription eyewear. So far, 100 pairs of glasses have been donated.
WHERE TO DONATE PRESCRIPTION GLASSES
- People Optical, 737 Massachusetts St.
- People's Optical, 2000 Iowa St.
- Kevin Leahan & Associates, 935 Iowa St., Suite 3
Donations can also be sent by mail:
OJOS: Eyes Toward Progress
P.O. Box 1657
Lawrence, KS 66044
New Eyes for the Needy also helps ensure people overseas get the correct prescription.
"It does no good if it's not the right prescription," Shockey said.
Reynolds said if somebody wears the wrong prescription, the person's eyes could potentially be further damaged.
hopes to set up a business that will sell a line of non-prescription sunglasses, which will be available at Sharks Surf Shop. A large percentage of the proceeds will go toward producing prescription eyewear to send to developing countries.
By next summer, the trio

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Authorities say a 19-year-old Northern California man was arrested after he asked a police officer for a ride, agreed to be searched and was found to have cocaine in his pocket.
Ongley Raymond Ocon III was charged with felony possession of cocaine.
San Mateo County prosecutors say Ocon left a party Sunday morning, walked up to a Redwood City police patrol car and asked for a ride home to Danville.

More than 100 pairs of glasses
have been collected and sent overseas so far. OIOS has three drop off boxes around Lawrence where people can donate prescription glasses that they no longer wear.
Lacey Breech, a senior from Cassoday, donated two pairs of glasses to OJOS about a month ago. She said they were glasses she had

Feds could take action if California legalizes pot
Drug czar says Justice Department is exploring options
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Federal officials haven't ruled out taking legal action if California voters approve a ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana use in the state, President Barack Obama's drug czar said Wednesday.
In a phone interview with The Associated Press, Director of National Drug Control Policy Gil Kerlikowske said Justice Department officials are "looking at all their options" for responding to the measure, which would conflict with federal laws classifying marijuana as an illegal drug.
Among them, he said, is following the recommendation nine of the nation's former Drug Enforcement Agency chiefs made last month in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder: having Obama sue to overturn Proposition 19 as an affront to federal authority.
"The letter from the former DEA administrators, a number of whom are not only practicing attorneys but former state attorney generals, made it very clear that they felt that pre-emption was certainly applicable in this case," Kerlikowske said.
Holder told the former DEA heads last week that that the U.S. government plans to "vigorously enforce" federal laws outlawing marijuana possession and distribution even if the activities are allowed under state law. But the attorney general did not respond directly to their suggestion that the administration should go to court if California passes the first-of-its-kind measure aimed at treating marijuana the same as alcohol.
"The attorney general made it clear the federal government will continue to enforce the marijuana laws under the Controlled Substances Act. It's a duty and responsibility of government. It's not something where they can say which laws they want to enforce and which they don't," Kerlikowske
said. "That being said, the Department of Justice is looking at and in discussions about whatever options might be available."
Proposition 19, a state constitutional amendment on the Nov. 2 ballot, would allow adults at least 21 years old to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and grow 25-square-foot pot gardens for personal pleasure. It would also authorize county and city governments to regulate and tax commercial cultivation and sales.
Kerlikowske was in Southern California on Wednesday for a visit to a Pasadena drug treatment center where he planned to discuss new government data on marijuana abuse in California with Dr. Drew Pinsky, host off the VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." The data show that California already has a much higher percentage of children in treatment for marijuana use than the rest of the
the rest of the country.
In California, 47 percent of those undergoing drug treatment for marijuana in 2008, either voluntarily or after encounters with the criminal justice system.
the law would free up time and money law enforcement agencies now spend pursuing marijuana offenses.
"Law enforcement agencies are not spending an inordinate amount of time chasing adults around for small amounts of marijuana," he said. "Here in California, the jail resources, law enforcement resources, court resources are not being overburdened with adults going through the system" for personal pot possession.
Critics of federal marijuana policy said the government would have a hard time persuading a court to strike down Proposition 19 in its entirety.
"If the federal government goes into court to stop Proposition 19 based on pre-emption under the Supremacy Clause, the federal government will lose," said Allen Hopper, former director of the ACLU Drug Law Reform
Proposition 19 would allow California adults at least 21 years old to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana for personal pleasure.
were under 18, compared with 28 percent for the country as a whole. Kerlikowske said liberal attitudes toward marijuana in the state, which has the nation's most liberal medical marijuana law, are a factor.
"People don't want to see someone jump in from Washington and tell them how to vote," he said. "But I think it's also important the people of California get the facts, and the way this proposition is being sold does not hold up to scrutiny."
Kerlikowske, the former police chief of Seattle, criticized claims by Proposition 19's supporters that
Project. "The federal government cannot force California to leave state marijuana laws on the books, or force California to use state law enforcement personnel and resources to help enforce federal
marijana prohibition. This is a fundamental tenet of our federalist system of government."
They also disputed Kerlikowske's contention that marijuana arrests are unusual in California, pointing to state Department of Justice figures showing that more than 61,000 people were arrested on misdemeanor pot possession charges last year.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed a law reducing possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana from a misdemeanor to an infraction punishable by a $100 fine that doesn't require a court appearance.

Horror film looks to avoid sequel curse
LOS ANGELES — Throughout the making of Paramount Pictures" "Paranormal Activity 2," an unsettling specter floated over the production.
The sequel/prequel was haunted by memories of Hollywood's last effort to clone a similar scary story: Artisan's "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2," which took in less than 20 percent of the preceding film's revenues and was so decisively despised by critics and audiences that it tainted 1999's original "Blair Witch Project" by association.
"We were worried more than anything else that the new movie wouldn't work," says Oren Peli, the former video game designer who wrote, directed and edited the first "Paranormal Activity" and served as a producer on the update, which premieres Thursday at midnight but was shown in 20 selected cities late Wednesday night. "And I'm sure there are a lot of people who will want to make sure that it's not 'Blair Witch 2.'"
"Paranormal Activity 2" plays very much like the original blockbuster, sharing its look and internal logic. Screenwriter Michael R. Perry (TV's "Persons Unknown,""Stephen King's Dead Zone") and director Kip Williams ("The Door in the Floor") set the new film in the days just preceding, and then the hours overlapping with, the ghostly invasion of Katie and Micah's nearby dwelling in "Paranormal Activity."

Actor Norton to take on new role
MCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — In town two weeks ago with director John Curran for the opening of the Chicago International Film Festival, Edward Norton took some time on a warm, summery day to check out Millennium Park, photograph Cloud Gate (the "Bean") with his cell phone, soak up the skyline and talk about "Stone."
By the time I got to him, held blown out his speaking voice, or nearly. He ordered a grapefruit juice ("Fresh?" ) and left the coffee to the one with the ancient tape recorder.
In "Stone," which opens
Friday, Norton plays a shrewd, cryptically motivated prisoner angling to get out on parole. His parole officer, played by Robert De Niro, isn't sure what he's dealing with. The two men's verbal sparring sessions, along with the con's deployment of his wild-eyed schoolteacher wife (Milla Jovovich), set into motion questions of moral righteousness, stability, faith and redemption.
Though Norton and director Curran had collaborated on "The Painted Veil," to stimulating results, the actor held off on committing to the project.

He and Curran continued talking, even as they both got into other things.
"When the economy tanked," Norton says, "John started seeing that as a jumping-off place, a way of looking at this idea of people on cruise control, living lives built around assumed structures of solidity. Marriage. Church. Job. Pension funds. All that can get wiped out like that." Norton snaps his fingers.

Hazing code needs clarity recent enforcement welcome
The University of Kansas has placed the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity on probation for two years following the recent hazing investigation. However, the current hazing code implemented by the University remains somewhat vague. If the University expects these regulations to be helpful, there needs to be a more specified explanation of what constitutes hazing.
University officials determined that through August and September, FIJJI was in violation with the hazing code and there were several forms of hazing that took place. Officials concluded that FIJJI endangered the physical health of pledges, bestowed extreme embarrassment or ridicule, and enacted personal servitude.
The code as it stands now is rather ambiguous and does not specifically establish what is a violation of the hazing code. A portion of the University of Kansas'
"Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any action, activity or situation which recklessly, negligently or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health, welfare or safety of a person..."
More details should be added to this code to help decipher what actually violates this hazing policy.
The strong initiative the University took on the recent FIJJ case should not go unnoticed and this type of call-to-action enforcement should be displayed across the Greek community. This is not the first time an incident like this has happened on our campus.
In March 2009, Jason Wren,
19-year-old freshman from
Littleton, Colo., was found dead at
his fraternity house, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon. The finalized autopsy
Officials need to be more consistent when it comes to administrating the hazing policy at the University.
When this happened, the University did not take action against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for any violation. Alcohol policies were changed, but the University took no other action toward the fraternity. While it was assumed there was not any hazing involved, the University should still conduct investigations for all matters, even if they are just speculation.
It is important to continue the robust enforcement of hazing and to expand on the definition. Unfortunately, more situations may arise where investigations by University officials must be had, but they all should be handled in the same manner and the rules should be equally enforced.

LGBT ISSUES
Those working against equality share responsibility for deaths
If you happened to pick up the paper a couple of weeks ago when my last column was published, you may recall that it was about the recent epidemic of gay youth suicides across the country and a couple of resources that exist to help LGBTQ youth, The Trevor Project and the It Gets Better Project.
When I went to the online version of the column to see if there were any comments, there was one — a commenter suggesting "another pathway to consider" for troubled gay or questioning teenagers. The alternative posed was Exodus International.
I was appalled. For those of you not familiar, Exodus International is, in their own words, "nonprofit, interdenominational Christian organization promoting the message of Freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ" (emphasis theirs). It is one of several "ex-gay" organizations that claim to turn gay attraction straight.
Most of these groups are based on religion and/or the junk science of conversion therapy that says same-sex attraction can be changed. These groups have predictably poor success rates and often count celibacy as "success." (One wonders at the humanity of those who call others' living a life devoid of the joys of emotional and physical intimacy a success.)
Progressive Perspective
"Most mainstream mental health professionals dismiss attempts to eradicate homosexual desires or to change someone's sexual orientation as quackery that is potentially harmful," says the New York Times.
BY ALI FREE
afree@kansan.com
This harm can be damaged
We live in a culture of homophobia—gays and lesbians, not to mention all the people of various other sexual orientations, are still widely regarded as abnormal, wrong and deviant. They are still not allowed to live lives of dignity and basic respect for they are discriminated against in schools and places of work, and they are not allowed to formalize their love and commitment in marriage.
self-esteem, even higher guilt and anxiety, depression, and suicide.
I was shocked by the suggestion, but even more so by the last line of the comment: "And remember, there are people who are concerned for the elimination of bullying and promoting safe environments in school, on ALL sides."
Publicly and privately, explicitly and implicitly, they are told that they are not normal and they are not worthy of the basic human rights afforded to everyone else.
Do we really wonder why so many are driven to the extreme of suicide? Can we really expect someone who is continually told by society that they are unacceptable to keep his/her/hir head up and endure it, day after day?
This comment reminded me of what National Organization
for Marriage (one of the "pro-family" groups that campaigns vigorously against gay marriage) Chairwoman Maggie Gallagher said about one of the recent suicides: "I do not think the absence of gay marriage is the cause of these tragedies or its presence will resolve them ... My heart goes out to the family of the young man. God bless him and them."
The two statements reflect a harmful ignorance. No doubt the commentor had good intentions, as did Gallagher. But that is precisely where the problem lies
precisely where the problem lies — sometimes, intentions don't matter.
Everything that acts against legitimizing non-straight sexual orientations, every single person and organization that operates under the assumption that being gay is a choice, everyone who advocates that religious doctrine so contradictory to the realities of life should be held as the immutable standard, shares responsibility for these deaths.
Everyone who refuses to speak out when they see discrimination, everyone who stays out of political or social movements for change, shares responsibility for these deaths.
Do something. In the face of beautiful, innocent kids taking their own lives, we can't afford to be passive. We cannot stand by and watch. We must all work to create a more open, tolerant society in which sexual orientation of an individual matters no more than eye color, because it doesn't.

CONSERVATISM
Government waste indicates inability to solve problems
Hypothetically, if a teacher said that attendance to class every day was a requirement to get a grade in the course, mostly everyone would attend class.
Essentially, their time and effort were wasted because they could have missed a few classes here and there.
Let's pretend that on the last day of class, the teacher decided to revoke this rule due to too many people not attending class. Some students would be relieved by this rule because they've missed classes and can get a grade. The other students would be angry because they put in extra effort and time to attend class.
This idea about wasted time is something that came to mind when I read a recent article claiming that stimulus money was given to dead people. In the article, a report by the Social Security Administration's inspector general claimed that "about $18 million went to nearly 72,000 people who were dead." To me, this is extremely insulting because this money represents peoples' long hours of working. It represents wasted time that can never be returned to them.
The government simply cannot be trusted or relied upon by anyone because it has bad discretion. If the government really wanted to take care of people, the money should have been handled better and spent for better use.
Consider what happened during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
For many years, there has been a lack of funds for infrastructure such as bridges, roads, and dams. It's surprising that with years' worth of tax money
Seth's Scoop
BY SETH ROBINSON
srobinson@kansan.com
that infrastructure is still underfunded. The flooding in New Orleans didn't happen because of the rain; it happened because of faulty infrastructure.
According to The Washington Post, the flooding also happened because "Congress authorized the Corps to protect New Orleans against a storm only up to Category 3." Katrina of course, was higher than a category 3. In this situation, the government should have stepped aside and let private engineering companies do their jobs building safer infrastructure.
The government also used poor discretion balling out General Motors. The bailout eliminates competition in business. To be fair, every business in this country should get taxpayer money when they go out of business. It's the same idea as giving your favorite basketball team five extra minutes to win the game without the other team guarding. Everybody in business needs to have a level playing field.
With Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security facing financial trouble, the government really has failed to show it can handle your hard-earned money effectively.

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
"Perhaps it was because of the misleading title (and I realize those aren't usually picked out by the actual authors),but your article certainly sounded like advocating belief in evolution is the sole source of electability. Your focus on that issue may have been what confused many readers (such as myself.) In any case, I can sympathize with the incredulity of some of the candidates running this election season. Apparently, public discourse has been reduced to unfaceted populism and invocations of the 1950s red scare. At least people aren't being blacklisted this time around... that I know of.."
— "Xz007" in response to "Defending evolution litmus test" on Oct. 20.
"I find it horrifying to think that there are people out there that actually think the government can or ever could run efficiently. No, instead we should just give up our control and allow the government to regulate. When was the last time the government came out with a balanced budget? Its been nearly a decade since our last year in the black. If the United States were a business (to which Mr. Scott would surely demonize) it would have failed and gone bankrupt long ago.
It is a sad day when we have people actually attempting to defend the government's continual inefficiency and ineptitude. When the United State Postal Service needs a bailout just to survive, you know that there is no way the government could ever actually control or what Mr. Scott calls "regulate" any type of private business."

Robert Eaton hopes his lecture will inspire students
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
editor@kansan.com
Robert Eaton, a KU alumnus and former Chrysler CEO, will speak to engineering students, faculty and staff today at 3 p.m. in the Spahr classroom in Eaton Hall.
Eaton, a Kappa Sigma Fraternity alumnus, graduated from the University in 1963 with a mechanical engineering degree. Since then, he has been a leader in the U.S. auto industry for nearly 40 years. Eaton will be in Lawrence serving as the grand marshal of the University's
homecoming festivities.
He is returning to the University as part of Homecoming Week and will share his experiences and advice with students.
Eaton will briefly speak about his successful career path, but wants the lecture to be an open forum.
Eaton
"It's going to be a conversation," Eaton said in a
University press release "I'll give a little background about myself.
then open it up. I'm going to try to convince them that I'm not any different than they are, and they can do whatever they want to do in life."
Eaton donated $5 million to the School of Engineering to help complete the 80,000-square-foot building that is named in his honor. The building houses classrooms, computer labs and offices for the school as well as the Department of Electrical Engineering a.4 Computer Science.
In his 30 years with General Motors, Eaton rose to president of GM Europe. He then left GM in 1992 to become chairman and
chief executive officer of Chrysler Corporation. In 1998 he was in charge of overseeing a $76 billion merger between Chrysler and Daimler-Benz. He then spent the next two years as chairman of the newly formed DaimlerChrysler before retiring in 2000.
"Absolutely unpretentious and unaffected by his success — you'd never know his history by meeting and interacting with him," said David Steen, 1971 KU graduate and Kappa Sigma alumnus.

Energy drinks alcohol don't mix
HACKENSACK, N.J. — Binge drinking among adolescents and young adults is not new, but authorities are warning about a dangerous new twist with an increased use of spiked energy drinks that deliver a potent mix of stimulants and booze.
Ramapo College this month banned the caffeinated alcoholic beverages, tightened restrictions on guests and increased penalties for underage drinking after a raucous start to the fall semester in which 23 people were hospitalized for alcohol intoxication, school officials said.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The fruity drinks, such as Four Loko, lead to a quick and intense high that has been dubbed "blackout in a can."
SHOP 'TIL 6:00...THURSDAY NIGHT 'TIL 8:00
"The bottom line on the product is it gets you very drunk, very quick," Batelli said. "To me, Four Loko is just a dangerous substance."
Four Loko was involved in some of the incidents at the Mahwah, N.J. campus, and the township's
The drink comes in 23.5-ounce cans and has an alcohol content of 12 percent — the equivalent of four beers. Four Loko is cheap — generally selling for less than $3 per can. It's carbonated and comes in a variety of fruity flavors — making it popular with underage drinkers, experts say.
Complaints were brought against three juveniles from Mahwah High School last week after they were found to be in possession of or intoxicated by Four Loko, Chief James Batelli said.

Hypnotist entertains a packed Woodruff Auditorium
Popular campus performer Frederick Winters hypnotized 18 students in his show

A show that lasted almost two hours passes in your mind like a five minute nap. All of the insane dancing, becoming different animals, and even egg laying become
just a blur of half-formed memories. Three of the students who experienced it last night said that is what hypnosis felt like.

William Blair, a freshman from Shawnee, was one of those students who entered this dream world. He said he actually recalled laying an egg.
it hurt, Blair said.
Of the 18 students, 15 were randomly chosen to go on stage. The other three were hypnotized in the crowd. Brought to the University by Student Union Activities, Frederick Winters, a certified hypnotist, playfully controlled the actions of these dreamers like he had with over 155,000 in the past.

to dive into it.
Winters was voted Campus Entertainer of the Year 2006, and was voted the Best Male Artist Award in 2010 by Campus Activities Magazine. He has performed almost 3,000 times, but said the audience last night was unique. He said he had never seen so many people who had never witnessed or experienced hypnosis before, but were so eager
When Winters asked the audience if they wanted to be hypnotized, the crowd erupted with willing volunteers. One even jumped on stage. When he had selected 18 random students, a completely full Woodruff Auditorium turned into a hypnotherapist's office. The lights dimmed, a slow drum beat started playing, and one-by-one the volunteers slumped over into a deep sleep.

hopping around the room.
These are the things that can happen when hypnotized: you can become president of the University of Kansas and outlaw laughing (that goes over real well), you can turn into a pony, you can have a little man stuck in your watch (even if you're not wearing one), and then, you can get stuck in that same watch.
Some of the dreamers remember nothing. Kyle Nelson, a freshman from Leawood, had seen one hypnotist show before but never believed it. After almost two hours erased from his memory, he now believes. He just thought he had taken a power nap.
Frederick Winters. 2010 Campus Activities Magazines' best male artist, hypnotizes a group of KU students on Wednesday night at Woodruff Auditorium. An event sponsored by SUA allowed volunteers to be put under hypnosis, an altered state of consciousness, causing the hypnotized student to become less aware and perform entertaining acts in front of the audience.
"I feel ready to go," Nelson said, as if he had just had an energy drink.
Nelson, Sutton and Blair all said they would get hypnotized again.
Sutton even said it was relaxing.

Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield led the Jayhawks with 12 kills in Wednesday night's 0-3 loss to Texas in Lawrence. The match was, in many ways, reminiscent of Kansas' sweep at the hands of Oklahoma on Saturday night.
Sophomore middle blocker Taylor Telfire told the team succeeded in serving — an area that has been a focus for the team in recent weeks.

As in each set on Wednesday, the Jayhawks seemed to get a little rattled toward the end. Senior libero Melissa Manda dug a ball out from in front of freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley, and Mayfield misfired into the net. A hard Texas shot knocked Riley backward, after which the Longhorns stayed within one point of Kansas. Garlington led an impressive late offensive effort, scoring four more kills before the set was over and helped by kills from Tolefree, Mayfield and

Kaiser. But after a tie at 27-27, a successful Texas block followed by a Kansas block that went out of bounds ended the set 29-27.
The Jayhawks scored the first point of the next
set, but the Longhorns answered right back. That set a pattern the teams repeated for the first half of the game, until Texas broke the deadlock by taking a slender lead and holding it until the end of the match.
From one game to the next, Texas' numbers improved as the Jayhawks declined. The Longhorns hit for an efficiency of .400 in the first set, which was already more than twice as good as the average Kansas opponent. But they improved that to .441 and .444 in the second and third sets. Meanwhile, Kansas shot a respectable .333 in the first set, which dropped to .237 and .100 over the next two sets. The Longhorns out-blocked the Jayhawks more than nine to three and achieved an unusual side out percentage of 77 at the end of the third set.
Kansas fell behind Texas 2-7 early in the third game and never caught up. Texas senior outside
hitter Amber Roberson had 19 kills by the end of the match. At 21-15, Jayhawks showed the pressure they were under. A mistimed serve hit Toleflea in the back of the head. Riley caved in under a Texas shot and even Garlington tripped and fell in the course of sending a hit over the net. The game ended with Riley and freshman defensive
specialist Jaime Mathieu tumbling to the floor in the back court while chasing a Texas hit that landed just in bounds and ended the set 25-17. Through it all, junior setter Nicole Tate showed a determined attitude, contributing seven digs and six kills as well as assisting in

It happens again. The whole crowd groans. The Kansas offense then moves five, 10 or 15 yards in the wrong direction. The Jayhawks have shot themselves in the foot once again.
Six games into the season, Kansas has been penalized 38 times for a total of 336 yards. Last Saturday against Kansas State, the Jayhawks were penalized seven times for 76 yards.
"Our first drive we were on a roll, we had a couple of penalties that set us back," senior Johnathan Wilson said about the Kansas State game.
Two of the first three possessions for the Jayhawks last Saturday had drive-killing penalties. The players emphatically state that these recurring blunders are the fault of themselves as opposed
Some of these penalties have come when the Jayhawks were gaining some offensive momentum.
The offense has shown flashes of good play, but it has not had the ability to consistently put drives together. Kansas had 331 yards of offense against Kansas State. The Jayhawks only scored 7 points. Against Baylor they put up 270 yards of total offense, but only crossed into the opponents

Thus, being an emotionally fragile young soccer/tennis/baseball player, I had to figure out a way to ease the pain of being dominated by a superior athlete (on the rare occasion that it would happen, of course). My solution: every time I realized I was going to be utterly outplayed in any sport, I'd simply spend the rest of the game or match listing off, in my head, all the things that I was most likely better at than my opponent.
Getting embarrassed on a sports field is no fun, obviously. It's usually painful, demoralizing, and if parents are in attendance, they might just yank funding for their kids' athletic endeavors.
Take heart, Jayhawk fans: Kansas still has plenty going in its favor
If some arrogant forward dribbled through my legs on the soccer field, I'd simply tell myself I could probably destroy the kid in tennis. If some future Division I tennis player was blistering shots past me on the tennis court, I was comforted by the fact that there was no way he had the grades

Mature? Probably not.
Effective? Definitely. It takes some of the sting away to remember that, although your opponent absolutely picked apart every facet of your game, if you just got the chance to play him in Trivial Pursuit or Boggle, he or she would know the true meaning of humiliation.
But if Texas A&M starts running away with Saturday's game like Baylor and Kansas State did, it's not necessary to drown in sorrow immediately. Rather, constantly remind yourself of these few ways that Kansas is still superior to Texas A&M:
This method of maintaining self-dignity could be extremely useful at Kansas for the remainder of the football season. Judging by the past two games, there may be a few more opportunities for moping and self-pity while other schools light up the Memorial Stadium scoreboard.

3. CLASS DISCUSSION
for some more creative forms of self-reassurance.
2. JOCK ATMOSPHERE
The University of Kansas ranks No. 5 on Princeton Review's list of top "Jock Schools" while Texas A&M isn't on the list. This list takes into account all varsity sports, intramural participation, and Greek system popularity. So all self-proclaimed jocks can take comfort knowing they have a much better home in Lawrence than College Station.
Lawrence was dubbed the ninth best college in America by the American Institute for Economic Research, three spots above College Station. It's not a huge edge, but still probably deserving of a few crowd signs like "At least our town is slightly more interesting!"
It's possible that this coping mechanism won't be necessary on Saturday. But if the game does turn into a blowout, remember this list.

Fantasy basketball best of all
MORNING BREW
The NFL owns everything sports. It is the best without question.
The Madden video games are the best selling video games by a long shot. The NFL owns TV ratings and the Super Bowl is unmatched in appeal and sponsorship.
And a huge chunk of the population actively engages in football. We've had a Brew or two about it. But NFL football is not the best when it comes to fantasy sports.
A new season is about to begin and it is the best in the realm of fantasy; the NBA season.
Maybe having the opportunity to get Cole Aldrich or Xavier Henry will get you involved. While you're at it, try to get Paul Pierce, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers
I acknowledge this is a publication in the state of Kansas and not a lot of people care about professional basketball. Whatever.
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
But how is the NBA better than the NFL in a fantasy perspective? The daily grind.
a fantasy perspective. The daily girl.
If you care enough about your craft, you can have fun every day of the week. You don't have to wait all week until Sunday.
When you think you're too good to watch "Glee" on Tuesdays, you have guys playing somewhere.
During the week, your football appetite is quenched with the weekly performances of the world's elite basketball starts. If you pay close enough attention, you get to stay in the loop when that random guy starts gloating about the awesomeness of David Lee.
Now I can feel the fantasy baseball critics pulling away from me. Again, the NBA is better.
A good hitter on a baseball team is hitting .300, which is less than a third of his at-bats. Most days, you log on to your team and see a bunch of hitless players and it's just deflating. There's absolutely no stat to hang your hat on sometimes.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Basketball has more going on. Assists, rebounds, steals, points, etc. You have to be a terrible fantasy player to get a guy that goes goose-egg on you.
A bad night for LeBron is 15 points with other stat categories sprinkled in. You still get something out of it.
A bad night for Albert Pujols is 0-for-4. Ugh. It hurts your average and you don't have steals and most likely no runs or RBIs. Bad day all around.
but day all around. Fantasy football is great, but sometimes I need something during the week. The NBA is perfect and it isn't as depressing as baseball. The trick is getting people who live in Kansas to believe it.
Jared Leto is a pretty man. You'd have to be to have a girl be able to look EXACTLY like you.

YouTube search "Jared Leto girl" and watch as an attractive girl transforms herself into the 30 Seconds to Mars front man right before your eyes.
It's a little creepy with the Nine Inch Nails "Closer" playing in the background, but the visual is fascinating. In a sped-up, six-minute video, you can learn a lot about the uses of makeup.

Texas A&M faces must win game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M has dropped three straight games and faces a must-win trip to Kansas with schedule that still includes No. 3 Oklahoma, 14th-ranked Nebraska and rival No. 22 Texas.
The Aggies (3-3, 0-2 Big 12 Conference) insist their confidence hasn't been shaken by the skid, but they'll need to turn
around things soon to reach their goal of taking a step forward from last season's disappointing 6-7 finish.
Texas A&M followed close losses to Oklahoma State and Arkansas with a lopsided 30-9 defeat to No. 18 Missouri on Saturday that has fans restless and some wondering if a coaching change should come soon. The headline on the front page of the campus newspaper, the Battalion,
read 'Time for change?' over a picture of coach Mike Sherman, with a smaller headline that read 'Mike Sherman doesn't have it' earlier this week.
After going 4-8 in Sherman's first season and 6-7 in the second, expectations were high for at least a winning record this year. Now even that could be a stretch.
way. If they weren't passionate, I wouldn't be here"
Sherman, the former Green Bay Packers coach, understands the unease.
It's been a long wait for those hoping to see A&M return to prominence after a run of seven conference championships from 1985-1998. The Aggies have fallen on hard times since then and haven't had a winning conference record since 2006.
"The frustration I'm sure is very intense, and that's part of it," he said. "I want to coach at a place where people expect you to win. I wouldn't want it any other
Texas A&M's first two losses on the road were difficult, but Sherman said disappointing the home crowd of more than 80,000 with the loss to the Tigers on Saturday was worse.

two blocks. At one point, as she stepped away from a melee at the net, Tate whacked the ball with her fist without seeming to look, and it hit the floor on the Texas side for a point.
Coach Ray Bechard said his biggest concern was Texas' hitting efficiency. Texas leads the league in that category.
"But we cannot give up some body hitting over, 400 and expect to be successful," he said. "They seemed to get a little stronger and we seemed to not."
Bechard said he saw similarities between this match and the loss to Oklahoma on Saturday.
"So the last two matches there's been a trend where the opponent's hitting efficiency's higher than what we've been giving up on the year," he said. "We're in the top three or four in the league for opponents' hitting efficiency, and we haven't lived up to those standards the last couple of games."

endzone once as well. The amount of yards the Kansas offense has accumulated compared to the number of points is astounding — 601 yards and only 14 points to show for it. The lack of scoring starts with the smaller mistakes, including penalties.
"Once we cut the little mistakes, the mental errors, and some physical errors, we're going to be just fine on offense," freshman
Jordan Webb said.
When the little mistakes, like a delay of game or false start penalty, start to add up, they can crush any offensive rhythm. The reason penalties have such a grand effect on a game is simple.
"You lose 10 yards, and now you've got 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 15, and that's very hard to convert," Quigley said.

with six games left to finish "strong, coach Turner Gill said.
The team and coaches know that limiting the penalties could be a huge help to accomplishing that goal. One of Gill's goals for this week's game against Texas A&M is to eliminate the unforced penalties.

Win puts Giants one game away from World Series
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Juan Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off reliever Roy Oswalt with one out in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants moved within one win of the World Series, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
Aubrey Huff singled with one out in the ninth and took third when Buster Posey singled for his fourth hit of the game. Uribe hit a medium-deep fly, leaving left fielder Ben Francisco with no chance to get the sliding Huff.
The Phillies, the two-time defending NL champions with the best record in the majors this year, are suddenly on the brink of elimination. They'll send Roy Halladay against Tim Lincecum
in Game 5 Thursday night — it's a rematch of aces that Lincecum won in the opener.
Going to Oswalt to begin the ninth backed manager Charlie Manuel's words this was his club's biggest game yet this year. Oswalt is one of the majors' top starters and beat the Giants in Game 2. He's made only a few relief appearances in the last several years, including a stint in the 2004 NLCS for Houston.

Brianne Riley, a freshman defensive specialist from Naperville, Ill., sets the ball as Taylor Tolefree, a sophomore middle blocker from Lawrence, looks on Wednesday night at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks (13-8 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12) lost in three sets to No. 10 Texas.

Riley returns to the court with high energy,effort
The freshman struggled to dig missed blocks against Texas
BY SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
Freshman Brianne Riley returned to the court yesterday against No. 10 Texas after a prolonged game absence. The defensive specialist showed no signs of injury, but was not as active as before. Coach Ray Ray Bechard says it will take some time for her game play to be at full capacity.
"She gives good energy and effort. I know she would like to serve better and dig better, but she will work herself up to where she was at," he said.
While out of game play Riley focused on recovering, only starting full practice last week. She is back to her vocal self, however, and her teammates appreciate the
familiar sound.
"You can hear her across the gym — it's good to have that voice back." Tayler Tolefree said.
Statistically, Riley has some work to do to return to the high level she reached before she was injured. She had no digs in the first set and three in the second — numbers vastly different from the earlier numbers put up by the freshman. Starting the third set after two losses, Riley seemed to become a little more upbeat. Falling behind 1-5, Riley stepped up and made some difficult plays, running to the front row to dig a few shanked balls.
In set four, Riley and the rest of the team seemed out of sync as they came up short and lost to Texas, 25-17.
"We let down tonight, we needed to dig more balls," Bechard said. "But our back row players have created a strength for our team."
Riley ended the game with five digs and one assist. She said the Jayhawks didn't play how they normally do, adding that her own biggest challenge against Texas was digging after missed blocks.
With such a big setback in the middle of the season, Riley is focusing on what she needs to do to become successful again.
"After being out for awhile you kind of loose your rhythm," Riley said, "I'm just getting my rhythm back, and that's all."

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Rick Nash scored two goals and Steve Mason stopped 31 shots to lead Columbus to a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night before 9,802 fans — the smallest crowd ever to see a Blue Jackets home game.
Derek MacKenzie also scored for the Blue Jackets, who had been pushed around in a 5-2 loss to Stanley Cup champion Chicago last week in their home opener.
Teemu Selanne notched his 609th career goal for Anaheim.

Orlando continues preseason streak
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 20 points and 13 rebounds to help the Orlando Magic roll to their 21st straight preseason victory, 101-76 over the undermanned Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
Howard was a perfect 7 for 7 shooting and added four blocks, and Vince Carter had 20 points to keep Orlando's incredible — but otherwise meaningless — preseason streak alive. The Magic (7-0) haven't lost a preseason game since the 2008 opener against Atlanta.

Coach Turner Gill made it clear from his first day on the job that he wanted to create a football dynasty. A poor start hasn't affected his greater goals.

Team supports Gill's new approach
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
On Dec. 14, 2009, newly-hired coach Turner Gill stepped in front of a room of eager reporters and told them his main goal.
Now halfway through his first season, and sporting a 2-4 record. Gill is still working out the kinks of building his dynamic Kansas squad.
"I did not come here to use [KU] as a stepping stone to a football dynasty, but rather to create a football dynasty here at KU." Gill said.
"It's still a work in progress," Gil said Wednesday after practice, "It's a journey both ways. The players are still getting to know the coaches and the coaches are still getting to know the players."
Despite the team's struggles, Gill is relaxed and is confident that building a college team takes time and practice.
makes an ongoing
Gill seems to be received well by his players, and all of them, including sophomore Daymond Patterson, are confident in Gill's skills as the team leader.
"it's a constant way of trying to get the best players to fit into our system and then to execute, and that's an ongoing deal," Gill said.
"He's been putting us in position to make plays and win," Patterson said.
Gill's coaching has also been getting praise from some of the more experienced players like senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson.
"With him being a former player, he has some good knowledge," Wilson said.
Clearly a 2-4 record is not what any new coach wants, and while some might point to the coaching changes for the cause of the Jayhawks' problems. Wilson doesn't see that as a main cause.
"It's a little different feel [from Mangino's coaching style] but at the end of the day it's all on the players. The coaches can't help you when you're on the field. They can't catch the ball for you or throw the ball for you. The coaches make
a difference, but the responsibility falls on the players." Wilson said.
Despite the fact that the team's record is sub-par, some students around campus don't seem too worried about how Gill has started out his tenure.
"The football team is off to a rough start, but half a year is not enough time to judge him as a coach", sophomore Tyler Heeney said.
for Gill, and neither are two-win seasons.
In his first season after taking the reins over from previous coach Jim Hofher, who had gone 8-49 in his tenure, Gill coached a 2-10 season with Buffalo.
Two years later Gill marched his team on the field for the MAC Championship Game against then defeated and No.12 ranked Ball State.
Ball State 42-24 to seal the team's first MAC championship. Whether or not history will repeat itself at Kansas is yet to be seen.
For Gill, as far as coaching at Kansas goes, he sees no difference from coaching at Buffalo.
Gill and the Bulls took down
"Coaching is teaching and developing players, you're just changing the name of the school," Gill said. "Football is football."

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson thanks Kansas fans for their support of the women's basketball team during a speech at Late Night in the Phog last Friday. Kansas will kick off the 2010-2011 season on Oct. 31 with a home game against Fort Hays State. She said she hopes fans will continue to provide a home court advantage by attending games this season.
Women's team ready for season
BY HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
The women's basketball season will begin soon and with the beginning of the season came media day in Kansas City. Coach Bonnie Henrickson met with reporters to discuss the upcoming season.
"On our end, I'm very,very excited for a couple of different reasons. We've gotten ourselves healthy over the offseason. Angel Goodrich is cleared and competing

to 100 assists in the program's history
in 15 games. And she allows
us to get uncontested shots, which these young kids are going to need."
* Henrickson said.
Fellow sophomores Carolyn Davis and Monica Engelman have plans to carry momentum from
their freshmen seasons into the 2010-2011 season.
"The experience that those two gained in situations we put them in at the end of the year, to take shots and make shots to win games, makes them more confident and more experienced sophomores," said Henrickson.
The sophomore class is bringing a great deal of the experience to the floor this season. The team is young — there are four freshmen and three sophomores on this year's roster. With the youthful nature of the team there is vigor and excitement that freshmen Daria Moore, Keena Mays, Brooke Jelniker and Charlicia Haper bring to the court.
"I love their energy. I love their competitiveness. We get better every single day and they are a fun group to be around," said Henrickson.
The freshmen will need upperclassmen leaders for tough times during Big 12 play. One such leader is junior Aishah Sutherland who worked in the offseason to grow stronger.
"She has always been very, very athletic. She finishes stronger right now than she has," said Henrickson.
The mix of old and new talent gives the coaching staff an opportunity to put out competitive lineups based on the different opponents they will face this season. Putting senior Krysten Boogaard
and sophomore Carolyn Davis together on the floor will be key.
"It will be important for us to look at how we can play Krysten and Carolyn together. Carolyn is very talented and Krysten is very, very talented. Right now when one plays, the other one doesn't. It doesn't make sense for quality post players in our league," said Henrickson.
Senior center Krysten Boogaard drives over senior practice squad player Jeremy Witt for a layup. Boogaard finished with a team-high six points as the women's team defeated the practice squad 22-14 during Late Night in the Phoq.
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
The layhawks will be getting right back into a very competitive Big 12 season. The upperclassmen's leadership will handle the ups and downs of the season that are sure to come in such a competitive atmosphere.
"You have to be able to bounce back and have resiliency and that's where your upperclass-

men can help you with that;" said Henrickson.
The jayhawks will play their season opener at home against Fort Hays State on Oct. 31.

Yankees win Game 5 in NYC, send series back to Texas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - CC Sabathia pitched like a champion, and the New York Yankees are heading for Texas. A whole lot better than heading home.
Nick Swisher and Robinson Cano hit consecutive homers to build an early cushion, Sabathia made the lead stand up and the Yankees avoided elimination, beating the Rangers 7-2 Wednesday and closing within 3-2 in the AL championship series.
championship series.
"We're right where we need to be." Swisher said.
A late-arriving crowd for the late-afternoon game wondered whether this would be it for the defending World Series champs after Texas outscored them 25-5 while winning three in a row.
But Sabathia bounced back from an erratic opener, staying
from too much trouble against Josh Hamilton and Texas' big bats. Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz made an early exit with hamstring trouble, a day after Yankees star Mark Teixeira was lost for the postseason with a hamstring injury. Curtis Granderson added an eighth-inning homer for New York, his second RBI of the game.
"There was a determination," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "We have not played extremely well in this series, to say the least."
Now the teams will go deep in the heart of Texas to decide the pennant in the best-of-seven series.
When they resume Friday night in Arlington for Game 6, Phil Hughes starts for the Yankees against Colby Lewis in a rematch of Game 2, won by the Rangers 7-2.
"It's not disappointing. Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "It's a seven-game series."
In the 50th anniversary of a franchise that has never reached the World Series, Texas remains one win away. To get past the Rangers, the Yankees will eventually have to solve postseason star Cliff Lee, who would start a Game 7 against Andy Pettitte.

"Crazier things have happened."

Donations increase despite economy
ENDOWMENT

BY STEPHEN GRAY
When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her.
"Thanks to this scholarship. I don't have to have a job and I don't have to worry about a huge debt hanging over my head after graduation." Strutman said.
Struttman was one of more than 6,500 students to receive scholarships last year from the association. In the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, it gave $28.9 million in scholarships as part of the $110.2 million it donated to the University.
Struttman, a sophomore from Topeka, was given the financial support by the privately-funded Chancellors Club, which awards renewable scholarships to 16 National Merit finalists each year. The club helps recruit top-performing students to the University.
Dale Seuferling, the president of the Endowment Association, said
This year, more than 6,500 students received scholarships from KU Endowment funds. The total amounted to $28.9 million.
Fiscal year Contributions Number of donors
2010 $110.2 million 45,192
2009 $106.4 million 45,186
2008 $94 million 45,014
2007 $77.7 million 43,403
Cathy Daicoff, a managing director at Standard and Poor's in New York City, graduated from the University in 1977. She was one of
In addition to student scholarships, the association funds salaries for distinguished professors, teaching awards and academic programs. It also provides facilities and equipment for the University. In fact, the association has helped to fund more than two-thirds of campus buildings and 85 percent of its land.
According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seufferly credited the desire of the University's alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplishment.
students could benefit from scholarships, fellowships and awards through the association.
KU ENDOWMENT FUNDRAISING
"With the funding cuts faced by KU due to the reduction in state support, private giving has become even more critical to the University's future," Seufler said.
"The University of Kansas provided me with a superior education," Daicoff said. "I believe we all have a responsibility to make that same education possible for other individuals in the next generation."
the 45,192 donors last year for the University. Daicoff has been donating for more than 25 years and gives to two causes, the Chancellors Club and a scholarship fund in memory of her father, Darwin Daicoff, a former economics professor at the University.

Tucked away on West Richmond Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, sits a quaint pub known as the Southsider. On the outside it looks like any other drinking establishment of traditional Scottish yore — white paned windows anchored by black and gold lettering above. But on the inside it houses some of the best memories of my study abroad trip to the United Kingdom two summers ago.
As a well-known carabaholic, I was sold on the deadly combo of mac and cheese and chips (American fries). The spectacular meal effortlessly ensured cheesy, gooey noodles, and sweet, plump potato fries. And
It was then we spotted the inviting Southsider pub. As we slid into the green leather-quilted booth, our glasses brimming with frothy European beer, I knew instantly it was somewhere special.
My first encounter with the Southsider came by accident. We were wandering through the winding roads of Edinburgh and decided to stop for a pint, as we often did. When in Scotland, right?
though our travels carried us throughout Scotland, we always found our way back
When my hometown tennis hero Andy Roddick faced off against the muchfavored Scot Andy Murray in the 2009 Wimbledon semi-final, the Southsider was the perfect setting. A few other tennis fans and I sat in the creaking wooden chairs, a plate of steaming fish and chips in front of us, engrossed in the back and forth match.
As 'Merica prevailed with Roddick advancing I whooped in excitement, only to be faced with the locals who were cheering against me. Luckily no brawl ensued, at least one that involved me anyway. (Some gents had a pint too many.) But that's the thing about the Southsider — it stays classy through the occasional ruckus of blokes bickering about sports and politics.
When the trip came to a close, we gathered for one last round of drinks. And as my whiskey cokes seemed to be refilling themselves, the group reminisced in merriment and said goodbye to our beloved pub.
Like my dear affection for the Southsider in Scotland, international students at KU miss certain things about their home country, whether that's food or friends. To see what coming to America is like for them, check out Molly's story on page 8.
Long live the Southsider.

**Q.** I'm trying to get my partner to experiment sexually, but she is not having it. How can I convince her to try new things?
hawkchalk.com
Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat?
Send it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com or check out the Kansas in Heat Facebook page.
A lot of people ask me how they can get their partner to try anal sex. My answer is start experimenting with other positions or acts. Incorporate sex toys and try different positions.
Once your partner feels good about the changes being made in your sex life, he or she will be more open to trying new things. So move gradually — don't push too hard. Get them to warm up to it. Nagging someone about sex and the sex you want will never work.
Sexual experimentation can be addicting and fun. Once your partner begins to associate experimentation as a good thing you can move up the experimental scale.
Let's say on a sexual experiment scale from one to 10 (one being ordinary sex and 10 being extremely kinky or taboo sex) you want to get your partner to a nine or 10, but they are at a three. Move gradually. Start doing sexual acts that are a five or six and let your partner know how much you enjoy them.
A lot of times people are fearful of sexually experimenting because they think they'll be really bad, or won't know what to do. Praising someone for their sexual abilities will make them feel a lot better about having sex, and will make them potentially open to trying new things. If someone sees themselves as good at sex and knows others see them as good at sex, they will have the confidence and knowledge that sexual experimentation is an obtainable step.
Besides praising their sexual ability, you also need to make your partner see sexual experimentation as a good thing. Try smaller experimenting and show a lot of excitement. Let your partner know that this new technique, position, toy, whatever, feels great, and that they are
MIKE ANDERSON
doing a great job.
A. I'm glad to hear you are willing to experiment sexually. Sexual variety and experimentation is linked to sexual satisfaction. To convince someone to experiment sexually, gradually get them to think positively about their sexual abilities. If you want your partner to sexually experiment you need to get them feeling good about the sex you are having.

HOW WE MET // LAUREN POLLMILLER & THOMAS HARMS > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
❤
> All great relationships had to start somewhere
Lauren Pollmiller and Thomas Harms were partners for a game of Monopoly in an accounting lab in 2008. Although they didn't talk much, they couldn't take their eyes off each other.
For the next year and a half, the couple would have awkward run-ins at the grocery store or on Mass Street. "Neither of us had any idea that we were both crushing on one another pretty hard," Pollmiller, Lenexa senior, says.
In November 2009, Pollmiller and Harms were both at the Jazzhaus. For nearly an hour neither Pollmiller nor Harms, Winfield senior, said anything while sitting next to each other. Finally, Pollmillier spoke up. "For the next two hours, I talked for an hour and 55 minutes while Thomas talked for five," Pollmiller says. They quickly discovered each other's true feelings, among other things.
LAURENNE & JASON
Contributed photo
Before they started talking, Pollmiller and Harms had nicknames for each other when talking to their friends; Pollmiller was known as the accounting babe; Harms was the artsy guy. Since they began dating, Pollmiller and Harms have enjoyed several road trips to the Southwest and have avoided playing Monopoly.

CATCH OF THE WEEK // MATT RODRIGUEZ
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I like to dance a lot. Hip-hop is my passion. I can also do jazz and modern dance. I love to sit and talk with people and find out about them and what they're into. I also like finding out about new music and how to dance to it.
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL

Donations increase despite economy

When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her.
"Thanks to this scholarship, I don't have to have a job and I don't have to worry about a huge debt hanging over my head after graduation." Struttman said.
Struttman was one of more than 6,500 students to receive scholarships last year from the association. In the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, it gave $28.9 million in scholarships as part of the $110.2 million it donated to the University.

Dale Seuferling, the president of the Endowment Association, said
Struttman, a sophomore from Topeka, was given the financial support by the privately-funded Chancellors Club, which awards renewable scholarships to 16 National Merit finalists each year. The club helps recruit top-performing students to the University.
This year, more than 6,500 students received scholarships from KU Endowment funds. The total amounted to $28.9 million.

the 45,192 donors last year for the University. Daicoff has been donating for more than 25 years and gives to two causes, the Chancellors Club and a scholarship fund in memory of her father, Darwin Daicoff, a former economics professor at the University.
"The University of Kansas provided
daicoff with a superior education,
Daicoff said. "I believe we all have
a responsibility to make that same
education possible for other individuals in the next generation."
"With the funding cuts faced by KU due to the reduction in state support, private giving has become even more critical to the University's future." Seufler said.

According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seuferling credited the desire of the University's alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplishment.

IN THE LIFE OF // AN ORGANIC FARMER
> Living vicariously through others is okay with us
Bob Dylan once sang "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more." Barbara Clark says Dylan has been true to his word. "He's never worked a lick at this farm," says Clark, who owns Maggie's Farm with her husband, David.
A boy in a white shirt and black hat stands in the middle of a grassy field, surrounded by sheep. There is a barn in the background.
The farm, which was named after the Bob Dylan song, has been a labor of love for the Clarks, who did not plan to become farmers at first. "We always romanticized the idea of farming," Clark says. "It was a mystery to us."
Now, 18 years later, the Clarks have built a home, a barn and a workshop on the land. Clark says they begin and end the day by feeding the sheep, which Barbara sheers in the Spring to make yarn for spinning and weaving. The Clarks are also out early
In college, Barbara studied anthropology and David studied aeronautical engineering, but they realized those were not what they wanted to pursue. After moving to Lawrence, the Clarks bought land on the north side of town and began tilling the fields. "We didn't live on the land," Clark says. "We would drive out here each day and gauge how much work we could get done before we lost our energy."

GET SOME CULTURE // THE EVIL DEAD
The Evil Dead films are low-budget cult classics that have lived on in the Midnight Movie realm for the past 30 years. Evil Dead: The Musical is bringing the movie's gore and humor to Kansas City this month.
I'll just stick to the text. I can't really tell what is happening in the image. It looks like two people are playing instruments and interacting with each other.
"Evil Dead is one of the first horror movies that tapped into how campy and ridiculous the genre could be," Nathan Belcher, Overland Park senior, says. "I think the stage would be perfect for that kind of silliness and violence."

Egads Theatre Production Company is putting on the musical, which combines elements of all three Evil Dead films (Evil Dead I, II and Army of Darkness) along with Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly music numbers. Playing at the Off Center Theatre located on the third floor of Crown Center, 2450 Grand Blvd. Evil Dead: The Musical is guaranteed to get messy.
"The people in the first several rows are going to be soaked with blood and stage splatter," says Steven Eubank, the artistic director of the show.

Under pressure: Whether your interview is in an office, at a career fair or on the phone, remember to be enthusiastic and engaged. If you're in need of practice to eliminate nervousness, check out the resources at the University Career Center, which offers mock interviews and practice questions.
BRENNA LONG
LANDING A JOB TAKES MORE THAN A CRISP RÉSUMÉ AND FRIENDLY SMILE
Dressed to impress, Rachel Schallenberg shook his hand with confidence. She had done the simple greeting before. Then he stopped her and made her do it again. Her professional shake did not meet his standards.
Thankfully, this was a learning environment Using the career services at KU, Schallenberg, Olathe senior, left her mock interview prepared to pursue a real job.
Learning how to interview can help students feel more confident when they nervously sit down to impress future employers. At the University Career Center (UCC), students can get personal guidance on preparing for interviews.
To prepare, the UCC has practice questions, mock interviews and a virtual interview program online. Talking through questions with family and friends can help students get comfortable talking about themselves, says Ann Hartley, associate director at the UCC. For professional advice on interviewing performance, Hartley says the mock interviews at the UCC can help. The staff records and watches the interview with the student. "As much as students hate it, seeing yourself can help you notice the umms and pauses," Hartley says.
When the interview has arrived, Hartley reminds students to take a résume, pen and paper, but to leave the cell phone behind. "The danger of forgetting [to turn it off] is high,
Next, take a deep breath and brag about yourself. While your mouth is moving, body language expert Patti Wood wants you to remember eye contact, listening and posture; Wood, who wrote Success Signals: Body Language in Business, says students today lack eye contact. Keeping the eye connection tells the interviewer you are paying attention and are interested in the job. After each answer, remember to listen to the interviewer. "Don't click off," Wood says. Along with consistent eye contact, engage the rest of your body. Lean forward slightly with your feet firmly planted on the ground.
and that won't make a good first impression," Hartley says.
But not all interviews happen in a sit-down environment. Ryan Watson, Mascoutah, Ill., sophomore, experienced brief in-person interviews at the business career fair. "My goal was to not look like an idiot," he says. Watson learned the importance of preparing a résumé and researching employers before attending the career fair.
After the nerve-wracking part is over, don't forget to end an in-person interview with a solid handshake, Wood says. Even if you feel like you made mistakes, a firm handshake accompanied by words of interest can leave the interviewer with a good impression.
Hartley at the UCC says the 30-second speech about yourself is the most important skill to have in career fair scenarios. "They want to know who you are and what you are there for," she says.
A phone interview brings a different challenge. The interviewer can't see your reaction. "Be enthused and animated." Hartley says. Find a secluded spot and dress up so the mood of your conversation doesn't turn casual. Hartley also recommends using this type of interview to your advantage by laying out your résumé and cheat sheets.
Heather Luth, Olathe senior, says her stomach filled with butterflies as she answered her cell phone for her first phone interview. "I just tried to focus on sounding excited."
Nailing a job isn't all about the interview, but these tips can help that part of the job hunt. If you need more help, visit the UCC in the Burge Union or online. They can help you organize your résumé and send you out of their office prepared to land your dream job.
THE PERFECT HANDSHAKE IN 10 STEPS
A quick shake counts for three hours of continuous interaction says Patti Wood, body language expert. Start every interview with these 10 steps and you'll be closer to getting a job.
2 If sweaty palms or clammy hands plague you, wine your hands before any handshake.
1 Walk to the person confidently with head level and hands at your side, not in your pockets. If carrying a purse or portfolio, switch it to your left hand.
3 Briefly smile but don't go over the top and look cheesy.
4 Make eye contact,but don't stare.This lets the person know you want to interact.
5 Face the person directly, not at an angle.
6 Make sure you fully extend your right arm, or you may look timid.
7 Position your hand straight up with thumb on top.
8 Open the space between your thumb and index finger so your hand easily slides into theirs, keeping your other fingers straight so your palms touch
9 Wrap your fingers around their hand and lock hands.
10 Shake firmly three times and release. The grip is not a contest of strength. Make sure to match the pressure of the other person.

FAR FROM HOME
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TALK ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE THE NEW KIDS IN TOWN
BY MOLLY MARTIN
KUY
Mabel Kok's apartment at The Exchange is her comfort zone. It's her temporary home that connects her to the home she left behind. It's where she finds her roommate, a friend from her home country of Malaysia. It's where she talks to her parents and three younger brothers using Skype.
But all comfort zones need to be breached, as college life is much more than the inside of a classroom, apartment and the bus you ride. This can be difficult for the international student who misses eating fresh fish from the sea, or who can't understand her fast-talking American roommate, or who covers her head with an Hijab scarf in public.
When international students come to the University of Kansas they must learn to adjust to a different culture and face new challenges. By looking at homesickness, language, friendship and patriotism, students from across the globe discuss what it's like to bleed crimson and blue on foreign soil.
LONGING FOR HOME
A tall African man steps outside of Kansas City International Airport and into the cold January air. Snow covers the ground. He's never seen anything like it. Tears fall down his dark cheeks.
This is not Mozambique. He can no longer feel the warmth. He can no longer feel the breeze from the sea. He wonders, "What have I put myself into?" This is not home.
The chilling effect left Antonio Cumbane feeling more alone than he's ever felt before. He says he almost wanted to go right back home. At the time, he knew no one. Of the 2,135 international students at KU, only one other student was from Mozambique.
Michael Ediger, associate director of advising and orientation at International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), says students like Cumbane are more likely to feel lonely initially. International students who are one, or one of only a few, people from their home country often feel more anxiety and isolation than a student from a country that has a significant presence on campus.
For Cumbane, the homesickness didn't go away after a semester. He had a few semesters before he could graduate with a Master's degree in education. He wanted to finish the required classes quickly, thinking he would be able to go home earlier, so he enrolled in five classes. Soon enough, the stress from the heavy
workload caused him to visit Watkins Memorial Health Center with complaints of fevers and headaches.
Cumbane says the doctor told him nothing was wrong. He was sick because of the overwhelming homesickness and stress. The doctor wrote Cumbane a note to miss three days of class to recuperate.
Aside from dealing with homesickness, Ediger says adjusting to unfamiliar foods is a big challenge for international students at KU. Cumbane says Americans prefer snacks, such as popcorn and pretzels, rather than large meals. He misses the fresh seafood and feasts, along with the loud music and dancing, which are part of his lifestyle in Mozambique. "I am African," Cumbane says. "Those are the things we do."

dress up for class, while women must wear abayahs (robes) and hijabs (head scarves) in public or where men are present.
In Saudi Arabia, Islam permeates throughout Saudi culture and affects the lifestyles of those who live there. Saudi international students like ALmutairi bring aspects of their culture to KU. ALmutairi says almost all Saudi female students at KU continue to wear hijabs, including his wife, who has joined him at the University.
NEW MORRIS
Although Saudi culture differs from American and Jayhawk culture, ALmutairi says he has felt comfortable here since he arrived in May of 2008, partly due to the large population of Saudi students at KU, which totals 143 students. He's also involved with and serves as president of the Saudi Student Association at KU.
ALmutariy says he took the position because he wants KU students to know more about Saudi Arabia. He says he believes American misconceptions about his country are that all Saudis ride camels and live in tents in the desert. His goal is to inform them that Saudis have the same technology and education as America. He is also concerned about Saudi Arabia's lack of media coverage in America.
The pride ALmutairi has for his home country remains strong. He plans to return to Saudi Arabia after he graduates to help his country and community. But he also admires the American way of life. "I wish I could split myself and live in both places at once," he says.
UNDERSTANDING THROUGH LANGUAGE AND FRIENDSHIP
Slang phrases and unfamiliar vocabulary of native English speakers are often difficult for Rei Tsutahara to understand. Tsutahara is a Japanese exchange student studying at KU for the fall semester. The Tokyo senior wanted to study in America to improve her English skills to become an English teacher in Japan.
The Applied English Center (AEC) is a resource for international students that helpsTsutahara and other non-native English speakers improve their English skills. When international students arrive at KU, they must take an English-language proficiency assessment to determine whether or not they are ready for University courses. Margaret Coffey, AEC associate director and senior language specialist, says the center's primary mission is to improve international students' English skills for academic purposes.
If the results from the assessment test
show that students still need English language improvement, AEC enrolls them in the center's classes to improve their English skills. Students must complete these classes before they can take classes through the University; however, depending on individual assessment results, AEC permits some students to take both AEC classes and University classes in the same semester. For example, Tsutahara is taking one AEC class and three University classes.
Tsutahara says it has been easy for her to adjust to this new environment because the University understands international students. Apart from AEC, the International Student and Scholar Services also assists the KU international community by providing admissions, advising, programming and referral services. Michael Ediger from ISSS says "The most important thing we do is give students a connection to the University."
While Tsutahara has been adapting well, she says other Japanese students do not feel as

comfortable. She says Japanese students are not as outgoing as American students — they tend to wait to be spoken to rather than initiate conversation. Such conversations may be difficult because of varying English-speaking levels, but she says Japanese students wish American students would make the effort to talk to them more.
MICHAEL EDIGER
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF ADVISING
AND ORIENTATION FOR ISSS.
MICHAEL EDIGER
Ediger says students with a large number of others from their home country may be less inclined to adapt at KU. With 88 international students here, Japanese students may feel more comfortable associating only with those from their home country, thereby isolating themselves from interacting with others outside of their native culture.
To encourage friendships among various international student groups and domestic students, ISSS hosts international student orientation at the beginning of each semester. International students and student volunteers unite to ease the transition to KU, and bond over being strangers in a foreign land. Ediger says many students make lasting friendships, and even walk down the hill with one another at graduation.
Tsutahara attended orientation and says she has made friends, although she won't walk down the hill with them because she is going back to Japan at the end of the semester. "I'm very sad when I imagine my last day in Kansas," she says. "I'm sure I will cry."

Gray-Little said one of the first things she noticed when she came to the University last year was its unusually high requirement for graduation. The requirement was set at 124 in 2003 and had not been altered until now.
When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her.
In addition to student scholarships, the association funds salaries for distinguished professors, teaching awards and academic programs. It also provides facilities and equipment for the University. In fact, the association has helped to fund more than two-thirds of campus buildings and 85 percent of its land.
According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seuferling credited the desire of the University's alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplishment.

STAGE PRESENCE // AL 'THE CROWN PRINCE'
Williams remembers sitting outside of Record Plant Studios in Hollywood at 4 a.m. after the 2007 BET Awards. He says he saw Jazzie Pha, a well-known producer in the industry who has worked with Ludicrous and Nelly, pull up. Williams walked up to him, demo in hand, and asked Jazzie Pha for a moment of his time. Williams says although the conversation went well, it didn't lead to anything.
"I wish it had been a fly-by-night type of thing." Williams says. "I definitely had to put in a lot of hard work to get my foot in the door."
For Alphonso Williams, the road to success has been a long one. Williams, the self-proclaimed 'Crown Prince,' was signed to Def Jam records, Jay-Z's label, this September but says it took years of perseverance, persistence and patience to make it happen.
This is just one of the many frustrating moments Williams has faced since he graduated from Colorado State University in 2006.
Williams says that although he may have taken the long road, his recent success was worth the travel.
His next mix tape, California Nights, will be released in December, and Williams will begin
recording his first album in January.

SCENE AND HEARD // STULL CEMETERY
> New places. New faces.
The gateway to Hell may be closer than you think. According to the legend, the gateway is in Stull, a small town only 10 miles from Lawrence.
An abandoned church once stood on the burial ground, and the basement supposedly served as the Devil's portal to Earth, making Stull one of the seven gateways to Hell.
Although creepy rumors started circulating in the 1970s, Stull Cemetery has been around for 141 years. Satan is rumored to appear every Halloween because his true love, a witch, is buried there. One of the less than 100 graves in the cemetery bears the name "Wittich." The church was torn down in 2002, but that doesn't keep the curious away.
Sean Morrow ventured to the cemetery in October 2008, but he refused to get out of the truck. "In every horror movie, if you leave the car, you die," Morrow says.
Contributed photo
The Libertyville, Ill., senior says the chair link fence surrounding the cemetery suddenly started shaking. "There was no wind." Morrow says. "That definitely added to the freakiness."
WULERHLE
Scary scenario: If you're up for a scare, head to Stull Cemetery outside Lawrence. It's rumored to be one of seven gateways to Hell.
Kansas, is skeptical.
Hefner Heitz has studied the cemetery rumors but says she doesn't believe them. However, there is one thing she knows for certain.
"Stuil Cemetery is a uniquely fascinating and enduring legend of the supernatural," Hefner Heitz says. "It's one of the dominant legends in the state of Kansas."
Visit the cemetery at your own risk. Trespassers will be prosecuted.

MUSIC REVIEW // JOE FOSTER: ADRIFT (SELF-RELEASE)
Imagine you are out in the wilderness, surrounded by mother nature and around a campfire with all of your closest friends. Now imagine a friend pulls out an acoustic guitar, and instead of getting stuck listening to somebody that can barely play, your friend sounds amazing singing and playing the guitar. Joe Foster is that friend. Foster plays a wonderful mix of folk and bluegrass with just a hint of classic country twang.
My other favorite is "Everyone Still Calls Me By Your Name," which anecdotes about broken-down cars, cocktail bars, cheap motels and not being pressured to live your life by someone else's rules.
"Adrift" will soothe your soul, make you yearn for the good old days, and make you desire a big slice of Americana.
> KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
Some of my favorite tracks include the opener "On Fire" because of the ability to sing along as loud as you can and the elegant background guitar, which sounds like it's crying and leaning on your shoulder for protection.
Most of Foster's lyrics tell stories or offer sweet, uplifting thoughts that he has gleaned from growing up in Kansas. Though he is a Kansas native, Foster has also lived in Portland, Oregon and toured throughout the country. In his self-released debut album, Foster concludes with songs about stories he encountered in "Louisiana" and "Nebraska," which are both soothing and hauntingly simple, yet beautiful.

DRINK REVIEW // NEST ON THE NINTH:
> The taste of the town, one meal at a time. LEMONCELLO BELLINO
✓
For a spectacular birds-eye view of Lawrence and an open, spacious bar, the Nest on the Ninth at the Oread, 1200 Oread Avenue, is a great pick for a romantic night for two or a fun outdoor atmosphere to share with friends and family. The rooftop terrace provides a big-city feel in a fairly small town.
I ordered one of their specialty martinis, the Lemocello Bellino. The lemon and champagne made the drink slightly sweet and bubbly, yet it was very strong. The drinks are not cheap at nine dollars a pop, but the prices are fair considering the atmosphere.

When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her.
Struttman, a sophomore from Topeka, was given the financial support by the privately-funded Chancellors Club, which awards renewable scholarships to 16 National Merit finalists each year. The club helps recruit top-performing students to the University.
Struttman was one of more than 6,500 students to receive scholarships last year from the association. In the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, it gave $28.9 million in scholarships as part of the $110.2 million it donated to the University.
"Thanks to this scholarship, I don't have to have a job and I don't have to worry about a huge debt hanging over my head after graduation." Strutman said.
Dale Seuferling, the president of the Endowment Association, said

students could benefit from scholarships, fellowships and awards through the association.
According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seuferling credited the desire of the University's alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplishment.
"With the funding cuts faced by KU due to the reduction in state support, private giving has become even more critical to the University's future," Seferling said.
In addition to student scholarships, the association funds salaries for distinguished professors, teaching awards and academic programs. It also provides facilities and equipment for the University. In fact, the association has helped to fund more than two-thirds of campus buildings and 85 percent of its land.

HAIL TO THE QUEEN
Crown Victoria's reign to end soon
The University of Kansas
POLICE
The Ford Crown Victoria, one of the most widely used police car models, will be discontinued. The KU Public Safety Office replaces its cars every three to four years, so the department will look for a new model to use.
BY GARTH SEARS
qsears@kansan.com
For decades, the Crown Victoria might as well been called the "Cop Car" — but not anymore.
Ford Motor Co. has decided to phase out its popular Crown Vic, as it's nicknamed, by next year, leaving police departments across the country to decide on a new model.
Crown Vics are extremely popular with police forces across the nation — the Detroit Free Press reported last year that the car had captured as much as 75 percent of the national police car market.
"Whenever I see a Crown Vic behind me, I slam on the brakes," said Katherine Lindbear, a senior from Fairway. "I'll squint to see if it has lights on top."
Capt. Schuyler Bailey from the Public Safety Office said the University police have eight Crown Vics, making up the majority of their fleet.
"It's what we've driven for a while," Bailey said.
But police here on campus and across the nation now have to decide on another model. Bailey said the University police weren't necessarily focused on a particular vehicle, though.
"We don't specify the car, we specifix the features we need." Bailor said.
He said the police replace about four cars every two or three years.
with money from their budget.
When they do, they send a request to the state with specifications and the number of cars they need. The state then sends a notice out to manufacturers and dealers, who can respond with an offer.
Bailey said the police had options as to which cars they buy. They decide based on features offered and price. He said the police have bought Chevrolet cars before, but not often.
"Usually, they're Crown Vics," Bailey said.
Ford will unveil a new model for police, the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, by the end of next year. It will have four-wheel drive, compared to the Crown Vic's rear-wheel drive.
But for the first time in decades, Ford will have to check its rearview mirror.
Police nationwide are already
using Dodge Charger vehicles, and Chevrolet is also unveiling a police car next year: the Chevy Caprice PPV.
The Detroit Free Press interviewed a Chrysler spokesperson last year, who said the company wanted to increase the Charger's police car market share from 17 to 40 percent this year.

Regents lower hours required to graduate
Task force expects change to increase graduation numbers
Reducing the number of required hours will make obtaining a degree more attainable for students, said Christopher Haulfer, chairman of the task force and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com
The Kansas Board of Regents approved a reduction on Thursday of the minimum number of semester credit hours required for a bachelor's degree.
The previous requirement for bachelor's degrees in liberal arts, sciences or professional fields was 124 hours. The Regents will decrease that to 120 hours to make Kansas' requirements consistent with the majority of other state institutions across the country. Thirty-nine other states have a 120-hour minimum and two others have considered adopting this requirement.

The York Dispatch reported Thursday that 22-year-old Larry Sanderson was outside the York Rescue Mission on Wednesday night when a man displayed a revolver and told him to empty his pockets. The man returned the items when he learned Sanderson lived in a shelter.

Student wins award for recycling project
Ink cartridges take about three quarts of oil to produce. Millions of them sit in landfills to waste away. Last summer, Nick Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., decided to end this wasteful problem by creating a program at the University of Kansas that allows everyone at the University to recycle the cartridges.
Today, the Center for Sustainability will recognize Benson's work with the Student Sustainability Leadership Award.
"He's not afraid to get his hands dirty and get out there to
do great work,"said Jeff Severin director of the Center for Sustainability.
Samantha Collins
The center gives five awards, one each to a student, staff member, faculty member, student group and project. Severin said the awards recognize leadership and creativity in addressing environmental, economic and social issues at the University and in the Lawrence community.
The award winners and nominees will speak about their work at the University today from 2 to 4 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Passenger loses arm, driver throws it out
TUCSON, Ariz. — A former Army soldier has been convicted of leaving the scene of a Tucson crash that severed the arm of an Air Force military police officer.
The Arizona Daily Star says 27-year-old Joseph Maverick also was found guilty Thursday of tampering with evidence by throwing the arm in a trash bin. He's scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 6.
Authorities say Maverick agreed to give a ride on Sept
14, 2009, to two men, including 22-year-old Aaron D. Soetaert of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson.
Police say Soetaert got into a fight with Maverick while the vehicle was moving and it sideswiped a tree, which severed Soetaert's right arm just below the shoulder.
Instead of reporting the wreck, prosecutors say Maverick called 911 to report his vehicle stolen and threw away the severed arm he found in the back seat.

1 new pharmacy building on West Campus will be dedicated at 11 a.m. today.
KEN AUDUS Pharmacy school dean
The $45 million building is 110,000-square feet. Construction began in May 2009. Before the School of Pharmacy building was constructed on West Campus
pharmacy classes were held in Malott Hall.
Audus said in an August interview with The Kansan.
There are 150 students in this year's pharmacy class. When classes were in Malott Hall, only 105 students could be accommodated.
He said the modernized new
space allows the school to be more competitive.
The School of Pharmacy is ranked 18th in the nation among public universities, according to U.S. News.

Mass Street among top 10 in nation
BY SAMANTHA
ANDERSON &
EMILY MCCOY
sanderson@kansan.com
emccoy@kansan.com
After surviving Civil War raids and 20th century economic conflicts, historic Massachusetts Street is finally getting some recognition.
Earlier this month, the American Planning Association listed Massachusetts Street among the top 10 "Great Streets" in the country. The APA is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1978.
Kathleen Sis, a senior from Rogers, Ark., said she was glad that Lawrence was getting recognized for more than basketball.
"It's really appealing that there are restaurants, shops and arts," Sis said. "There's always something to do."
To some business owners who work on Mass Street, however, the recent distinction was no surprise.
"The history here and why it's so significant to our downtown is really the cor-
easy for Mass Street investors. During the 1980s, a battle between developers and local business owners culminated in a ruling
"It's really appealing that there are restaurants, shops and arts. There's always something to do."

nerstone of this entire town," said Nancy Longhurst, general manager of the Eldridge Hotel 701 Massachusetts St.
However, keeping a balance between history and contemporary features has not always been
by the Federal District Court, which blocked the building of a new shopping district.
Ultimately, Mass Street came to include both local businesses and national chains.
Former Mayor David Longhurst said that the shift was actually a positive thing.
"There are stores that have broad appeal," Hurst said. "But what gives it the personality are the owner-operated stores."
Rob Fitzgerald, technical director of Liberty Hall, said that having a diverse range of stores helped bring new business downtown.
"When they moved some more college-oriented retail in here in the early 90s, it was kind of an impetus for more restaurants," Fitzgerald said. "Then the restaurants drew more businesses."
The combination of old and new is also what gives the street its charm, said Ken Baechtold, a downtown visitor.
"It has a basic old kind of fun atmosphere, where everything's different". Baechtold said. "There's some change here, but there's a lot of independence, which makes it really nice."

'Glee' stars take criticism for suggestive GQ photos
The photos feature Dianna Agron (Quinn), Lea Michele (Rachel) and Cory Monteith (Finn), kicking off with Monteith smiling his All-American smile while grabbing the scantily clad derrieres of two young women. So fresh. So daring.
A mildly pornographic slide-show of photos accompanying GQ's November cover story about "Glee" recently went up on the magazine's website, and the obligatory onslaught from parents groups has begun, with terms like "pedophilia" being thrown around along with renewed complaints that the show is too sexually explicit for the young teen and tween end of the audience it courts. In light of the show's rather self-congratulatory "some people want to do good" Team Project ads, the term "role model" — so bizarre when it is connected to celebrities of any sort — makes a tiny bit more sense than usual<sup>1</sup>
But the problem isn't so much the sex as the sexism. And the disappointing banality of it all.
Monteith is, of course, fully clothed and fresh-faced rather than come-hither. Not so his female co-stars, who bare their midriffs and decolletage, bras and panties, in thighs-spread, derriere-hoisted do-me poses made more than slightly unsettling by their school-girl ensembles. Michele, in particular, seems to be
women being asked to assume the position, this time complete with pom poms and lollipop. No doubt Agron and Michele did it to be sexy and playful, and were not at all manipulated by forces that have put genera
Of course, Agron and Michele are grown women who only play high school students, and there is some version of satire at work here — the story "gleefully" references all the complaints from those same uptight parental groups. But it's of the smug have your-cake-and-eat-it-too variety. The result is not so much saucy and in-your-face as it is predictable and depressing — oh look, more young

much more aggressively suggestive than Agron', has said the poses were unlike any she had ever done. No one can blame a young actress for wanting to make it very clear that, the Broadway cred notwithstanding, she isn't a theater geek but a sexually attractive young woman who shouldn't be shoe-boxed into Rachel roles.
Agron has issued an apology of sorts on her blog, though she also deflects the blame onto parents, writing "if your 8-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on Earth did it get there?" — as if GQ were indeed pornography from which parents would protect their children as

show itself, they do make one thing clear. "Glee," in case you were wondering after the CDs and the road show, is now a franchise, working its way into the American pop conscious and walls with the same intensity of the Disney machine it once seemed determined to send up.
The good news about the photos is that, as GQ editors have pointed out in their "get over it" response, unlike Miley Cyrus when she did those unfortunate Vanity Fair shots, these performers are all adults.

'Red' actor keeps mind on family and home
Koel Urban lives in two worlds
Karl Urban lives in two words. He's a citizen of Hollywood, thanks to appearances in films like "The Lord of the Rings" (playing a warrior) and the recent reboot of "Star Trek" (as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCovy).
MCCLATCHEY-TRIBUNE
But the 38-year-old actor is also a proud Kiwi, a resident of Auckland, New Zealand. And he doesn't want to forget it.
"Like it or not, I've become a global citizen," Urban said in a recent phone conversation, without a trace of a Down Under accent.
"The challenge is to maintain your cultural identity, especially back in your home country, where it's all too easy to be perceived as someone who ran off to Hollywood.
"So while I may work internationally, I live in New Zealand and plan to always do so."
Meanwhile, he's all over the place. Recent film shoots have seen

In his action comedy "RED," he portrays a deadly government agent assigned to eliminate retired CIA spies played by Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich.
For an actor, Urban said, working with that bunch was like an extended master class.
"There was such a huge collective amount of experience going into this project. And it wasn't about anybody being the star. It's very much an ensemble piece. So it was a fantastic experience to collaborate with people of this caliber."
Though a secondary character, Urban's William Cooper may have the largest story arc of any in the film.
"That was one of the attractions," he said. "Cooper was very well-written, not just a two-dimensional man of action. When you first see him he's an efficient, emotionless killer — kind of a straight man. That was hard because the other actors got to do funny things. I was suffering from yuk envy.
"But you enter Cooper's story at one point and then go some place completely different. He's a killer with a family, and that may be his weakness."
Urban can identify.
"The worst part of what I do is spending so much time away from my own family."

Renovations welcome but are long overdue
The much-needed renovation of the elevators in Wescoe Hall has begun but has still not been completed.
Since the beginning of the semester there have been signs placed in the elevators of Wescoe, warning students and faculty of the potential risk of getting stuck and providing them with a phone number to call to get them out if they find themselves trapped in one of the elevators.
Although the project is underway, the fact that it has taken this long to get started is unacceptable.
Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations Management Information, declined to comment but said in an Oct. 11 article in The Kansan that requests were made last fall for the elevator renovation, but a lack of
While budget cuts are an issue Facilities and Operations is facing, it does not excuse the continued problem of students and faculty getting stuck in elevators.
Wescoe elevator controls are more than 30 years old and their replacement, which is estimated to cost $73,000, is one of four projects approved by University Design and Construction Management, which receives most of its funding from the state. DCM has provided more than $1 million in funding for elevator and modernizations since 2008. Additional campus organizations, such as the Athletics Department and Parking and Transit, have provided more than
$180,000 to elevator repairs.
With all of this funding coming in from other departments, the renovation of the elevators in Wesco should have been started much sooner.
Although taking the stairs is one way to avoid the risk of getting stuck in one of the elevators in Wescoe, it is not an option available to everyone.
Students and faculty with disabilities or injuries that require them to take the elevators have had no choice but to risk getting stuck.
CARTOON
It's good that the renovations have finally begun, but it is unfortunate that it took so long for them to get started.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Critiquing the economics critique
In the Oct. 20 issue of the UDK, Mr. Dopf responded to my critique of his economic persuasions. Now, I'd like to start by saying that I wish I could make as many mundane inundedos, personal attacks and long-winded obfuscations as Mr. Dopf, but the UDK's word-limit on editorial letters prevents me from doing so. So, I'll just focus on the relevant aspects of his article and refrain from making an emotional diatribe.
Mr. Dopf first accused me of making a straw-man; in other words, he stated that my critique of his article was irrelevant to his argument. Now, I understand that the straw-man fallacy is very prevalent, given that individuals like to misconstrue their opponents' arguments in order to prop up themselves. However, it's very difficult to accuse someone of committing a straw-man when he uses a direct quotation from his opponent's argument to illustrate a point. If I recall correctly,
Mr. Dopf stated, "Obama's not a socialist, he's a Neo-Keynesian." Now, Mr. Dopf, forgive me if I misinterpreted your statement, but in saying Obama's not a socialist but a Neo-Keynesian, it appeared that you thought the two macroeconomic theories were divergent or unrelated. I merely pointed out the profound influence 19th century mercantilism on Keynes's General Theory (which makes it impossible for someone to be a Keynesian but not a socialist).
Furthermore, I'd like to state that your breadth of knowledge concerning Keynesianism is somewhat lacking. Keynes's GT is not just "stimulus spending...is more effective at job creation than tax cuts." Keynes thought that taxing the private sector (heavily) and then redistributing collected capital (by creating bureaus, special interests, entitlement programs, etc.) would lead to a higher rate of employment and economic growth than if such capital remained in
the private sector (this, of course, is an economic fallacy, given that capital is not stagnant when it remains in the private sector; banks lend money at interest and the stock market prevents capital from remaining unused).
In response to Mr. Dopf's closing remarks, I would like to state that 'collectivism' is not simply anything that diverges from anarchy or laissez-faire capitalism. In the socio-political context, collectivists are those who favor heavy taxation, government spending and extensive control of the market by planning boards.
Also, in my defense of your personal attacks, I would like to inform you that I have never read Ayn Rand nor watched an episode of Glenn Beck (I don't own a TV).

FASHION
Fall presents opportunities to use color in new ways
-
Night falls earlier, the air is chiller, and the leaves are changing from green to shades of red, orange and yellow.
However, an outfit's colors can do a lot more that match the seasons. Color is a great tool for expressing ourselves through what we're wearing. Seasonal Shades
Fall is here and summer is over. It's time to put away our warm weather clothes in exchange for sweaters, scarves, mittens and coats. But as the seasons change, it is not only important to change the style of your clothes, but to also change their colors to fit the season.
A general guide to wearing the right colors for a certain season is the shades of the seasons themselves. In fall, the shades of leaves make a stunning palette for any wardrobe. In winter, the gray skies and dry air call for dark grays, blacks and navy. Pops of color like red or fuchsia look great against snow. In the spring, wear bright, cheery pastels to imitate the trees and flowers as they blossom. In summer wear bright colors like the clear blue sky, green grass and bright sun. Matching Colors
Matching colors doesn't take a lot of thought. Pair pieces together with colors that compliment each other and avoid clashing. Colors clash when they compete for attention, meaning, they're too bold, bright or different to wear together. Classic color pairs are navy and red, black and white and brown and cream. A well known clashing combination is red and green, unless it's the holiday season. Attitude Hues
The colors of your outfit can also express what you're feeling, and give your outfit attitude. When you're in a cheerful mood, wear bright colors like yellow or green. When you're in a somber mood, wear toned down colors like tan or maroon. Black traditionally expresses dark feelings,
BY ALEX ESPOSITO
and red can say you're angry or excited. But when you put them together you create a staple combination that says, "I have arrived." When choosing colors to reveal your mood, go with whatever hues you're attracted to at that moment. Your attitude will guide you in choosing the perfect colors to express what you want to say.
Monochromatic Styles
A monochromatic outfit, or wearing entirely one color, can make a bold statement when done right, but can be overwhelming in certain shades.
When going for a classic monochromatic look, wear basic colors like white, gray, brown and navy. Wearing all black is a timeless urban style. An outfit made of one, simple color looks clear and well put together, but wearing one bright color, like all lime green or hot pink, is too much for the eye.
When pairing different pieces of same color, make sure they're all the same shade. There is an infinite number of "blacks," and in order to achieve a sleek, cohesive look, all the blacks you wear must be similar. As you wash clothes, the colors fade. Wash clothes of the same color together, so they stay the same shade.
Have fun with color and you can express the way you feel. Colors lets you control what your outfit says about you. Play with color and allow your outfit to express your personality.

GUEST COLUMN
Night owls fall behind
College is a wonderful time of new experiences and adventures. Late nights of studying during the week often set the tone for a weekend of late night recreation. Combine this with an early class schedule and you find a majority of college students that are sleep deprived.
We have all known people who are more active at different times of the day. There are morning people, who don't need caffeine to get them moving and wear smiles that make a sleepy person want to vomit. There are also night owls, who prefer to avoid the sun and keep morning people up with loud music at 3 a.m.
With deadlines in multiple classes piling up and no way to ignore the need to sleep, students often turn to unhealthy methods of staying awake. In her 2008 study in Biological Rhythm Research on college students, Dr. Nancy Digdon explored the differences in coping mechanisms
for sleepiness between night owls and those who are neither night owls nor morning people.
— UWIRE, Anthony Bryson from the BG News at Bowling Green State University.
Dr. Digdon found that night owls tended to use coping methods that were less conducive to good sleeping patterns. They rated napping and coffee as the top two methods of coping, while the more neutral sleepers rated exercise and spending time outdoors as more effective.
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
If you know you are a night owl and nothing will change it, try implementing a workout routine. Start with 30 minutes of jogging or biking a day. It could mean the difference between a wasted day of grogginess and a productive day, eliminating the stress of work on the weekend. And if all else fails, make sure you don't schedule any early morning classes.

Phillies force game 6 behind Roy Halladay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
0 20
Halladay's bunt — which appeared to be foul — helped spark a three-run third inning, when Shane Victorino drove in the first of two runs that scored on a field.
Roy Halladay pitched through a groin pull, outdueling Tim Lincecum and keeping the Philadelphia Phillies alive in the NL championship series with a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
SAN FRANCISCO — Doc got the best of The Freak this time in a rematch of aces.
Jayson Werth's solo homer in the ninth quieted the raucous sellout crowd of 43,713, and many fans began making for the exits even before Philadelphia pulled within 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
ing error by first baseman Aubrey Huff.
Placido Polanco followed with an RBI single, and the two-time reigning NL champions forced a Game 6 back home in Citizens Bank Park on Saturday and another cross-country trip. Jonathan Sanchez starts for the Giants against Roy Oswal, who is 10-0 in 12 starts at Philadelphia this year.
Philadelphia put San Francisco's celebration on hold. The Giants now must win once in two tries at Philly for the franchise's fourth pennant since moving West in 1958. San Francisco has not been to the World Series since the Giants' Barry Bonds-led team lost Game 7 to the Angels in 2002.
Philadelphia will try to become the 12th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series.

After disappointing Big 12 start, Kansas refocuses for Iowa State
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Kansas is looking for a fresh start to the second half of conference play with a rematch against No.12 Iowa State (14-4 overall, 7-3 Big 12) on Saturday in Ames, Iowa. In their last meeting on Oct.9, the Jayhawks upset the then-No.10 Cyclones in a four-setter for the Jayhawks' first ever victory over a top-10 opponent. Since then, Iowa State has dropped two spots in the national rankings and Kansas (13-8, 4-6 Big 12) has suffered two bitter losses against Oklahoma and Texas in Lawrence.
Kansas around nine to three. As in the Oklahoma game, Kansas started out with a good hitting percentage .333 — but could not sustain the effort.
MASTER'S
Kansas' defense kept Iowa State to a hitting percentage of .182 in the last match, but the Cyclones' offense has picked up steam with a win over the Colorado Buffaloes in a four-setter on Wednesday. Colorado outside hitter Victoria Henson reached a season-high 24 kills, making the 24th match for her to record 10 or more. She also added 16 digs for her eight double-double of the season. Outside hitter Carly Jenson also posted a double-double with 15 kills and 15 digs, and sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube added 13 kills to the effort. The Cyclones finished the match with a hitting percentage of .338 — the first time they had hit better than .300 since their victory over Oklahoma on Sept. 25.
Coach Ray Bechard said the number one task for Kansas was to keep their opponents' offense from being as successful as Oklahoma and Texas.
"This is the last 10 games, potentially," she said. "So how can we start off right so that we push ourselves and get us in a good position?"
Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree played big in the Oct. 9 win against the Cyclones, recording 11 kills with an efficiency of 667, the best of any player in the match. Tolefree said the team is looking to change their momentum in the latter half of Big 12 play.

DATE: Oct. 23, 2010

The layhawks have gotten off to strong starts in their past two matches, only to see the contests slip away in successive sets. Kansas hit for an efficiency of .237 in the opening set against Oklahoma on Oct. 16, but those numbers dropped to -.032 and .154 in the second and third sets. Oklahoma scored 13 more kills than Kansas in the three sets and kept their hitting percentage above .350 throughout, sweeping the match.

Team looks to close out Big 12 season with road wins
BY JACKSON DELAY
jdelay@kansan.com
This weekend, the layhawks will face Nebraska on the road, in one of last Big 12 conferences matches of the season. The team will finish up the season on Monday when it plays Colorado.
Kansas is 1.7 in conference play. However, junior forward Kortney Clifton thinks that some of those losses are a result of the ball not bouncing Kansas' way.
"Of course we are disappointed, because we think we should get better results than that." Clifton said. "We are working really hard and things seem to not be going our way. I feel like we have done a lot of things right, it's just like one little thing that doesn't go our way."
Kansas has been on the losing end of some close games; six of
their seven Big 12 losses have been by two goals or fewer.
Sunday's match was symbolic
Sunday's mate of how the season has gone. Kansas battled Baylor in a physical game that reached double overtime, only to have a foul called against a Kansas defender. Coach Mark Francis clearly
disagreed with the call. Baylor converted the penalty shot, abruptly ending the game.
"[Nebraska] plays really hard, physical and they are all over you ... we have to come out and compete."
Despite the end to Sunday's game, Francis said, the team came out and showed good energy.

Sophomore forward Whitney Berry, who leads the team with 55 shots, was seen practicing with a cast on her arm this week. She was
MARK FRANCIS Kansas coach
said she would play this weekend.
Clifton said the team would still be motivated despite its last place ranking in the Big 12 and four-game losing streak. "Especially for our seniors, this
is their last go at it. We want to work for each other and get some wins," she said.
Francis also thinks his team is
motivated.
"You would think they would be motivated to stop [the four game losing streak] and get a win. Especially playing Nebraska, they are always a rival for us," he said.
In order to finish strong, the Jayhawks will have to upset a Nebraska team that's no stranger to scoring. Nebraska is second in the Big 12 in shots, assists and points, and is tied for second with 39 goals.
Morgan Marlborough has been a big part of Nebraska's offensive success, leading the Big 12 in nearly every offensive category. Kansas has 12 goals overall this year, while Marlborough alone has 16.
Francis said, "She's a good player and they've got a couple of good offensive players. She's good in the air too, so we've got to make sure we are competing and challenging for stuff in the air with her"
Throughout the season, Kansas has scored eight goals in the second half, compared to only four in the first half. In order to beat Nebraska, Francis said his team would have to play well both halves.
"[Nebraska] plays really hard, physical and they are all over you. They come out and play hard all the time," he said. "We can't afford to come out at the beginning of the game and be haphazard. We have to come out and compete."
Clifton said that her team could
do only one thing at this point.
"Continue to do what we can and compete as hard as we can and want it more than the other team," she said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It will be sold out. The games will be sold out."
Basketball coach Bill Self on the unsold season tickets for the upcoming basketball season
FACT OF THE DAY
Kansas Athletics
Kansas football has lost its last nine Big 12 games.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time Kansas hosted Texas A&M for its homecoming game?
A: 2006 when the Aggies won 21-18.
Markieff out for a week after hernia
MEN'S BASKETBALL
— ESPN
Junior forward Markieff Morris underwent hernia surgery yesterday, and it will keep him out of practice for seven to 10 days, according to coach Bill Self.
"Markieff is having the most minor of surgeries," Self said in a release. "You never want guys
Mk. Morris
to miss any time, but we're probably talking about missing seven days of practice. He should be able to run and shoot
within days, be full-speed within seven to 10 days."
Self said there will be two rest days during Morris' recovery, so he'll only miss seven days of practice.
If all goes as planned, Morris should be ready to go when the Jayhawks open the season Nov. 2 at Allen Fieldhouse.
— Corey Thibodeaux
MORNING BREW
Pitchers, step up to the plate
As the final series in the Fall Classic nears, baseball is faced again with the controversy of the designated hitter
rule.
The speculation of the clear American League advantage could be easily sidelined if the MLB would once and for all banish DHs.
All the rule does is give burned out players two or three extra years of "batting practice" to increase,or,in some cases,decrease their hitting statistics.
NASA
Perhaps this rule is why American League teams have won 21 of the 36 World Series played since the DH rule was instituted.
General managers know that if it weren't for this rule players such as Jim Thome, Jack Cust and Travis Hafner would no longer have careers in the majors.
At one point all three of those players were studs, but their days of highlight reel defensive plays are long gone and all that remains is their muscle strength to power the ball out of the park.
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Some DH's have pinch runners take over their place if they reach base to produce a better scoring chance. While this is legal, it is a dishonor to the game.
Players should be responsible for helping their teams on both offense and defense.
The rule is a joke in its simplest form.
Pitchers should have a chance to make up runs that they let up.
It is unfair that a pitcher, who may not be a great hitter, can have proven batters take his place in the lineup.
The idea that the DH rule protects pitchers is a sham.
Pitchers are given plenty of days off to recuperate; the least they could do on offense is place a bunt down every three innings to help their team every five days.
In a world where a Monday Night Football game between Jacksonville and Tennessee gets a higher overnight rating than an ALCS game, something needs to be done to spark fan interest.
Pitchers are the focal point of all baseball games. To have a pitcher be a threat on both sides of the ball only makes the game more interesting.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Eliminating the DH rule would do just that. Don't get me wrong — I love the home runs these players knock out of the park. But
I would be way more impressed if a pitcher did it.
Without this rule, players like Carlos Zambrano become a higher commodity than Johnny Damon.
From my standpoint the Giants and Phillies are better overall teams than the Rangers and the Yankees, but I would not be surprised one bit if the AL wins the World Series. After all, the millions of dollars that are spent on burned out superstar hitters pay dividends when it counts. It's just too bad for the National League.

TAMPA, Fla. — Matt Moulson scored a delayed, video-reviewed goal in overtime to give the New York Islanders a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Islanders win after officials review play
Moulson was credited with an in-close goal at 1:56. Officials reviewing the play ruled that the puck went off the glove of goalie Dan Ellis and completely over the goal line before Ellis swiped the puck back into play.
The review, which occurred at the next stoppage of play at 3:28 of overtime, took about 10

minutes.
Michael Grabner and Pierre Parenteau also scored for the Islanders.
The Lightning got goals from Sean Bergenheim and Martin St. Louis.

The Kansan regrets a production error that caused low-quality photos to be printed in this week's edition of The Wave.
Recruits ignore KU for OSU and Baylor
No. 4 recruit in the country LeBryan Nash sported a floppy orange cowboy hat as he committed to play for Oklahoma State and coach Travis Ford. Nash's halfbrother Byron Eaton also played at the school. He chose Oklahoma State over Kansas and Baylor, who
pulled two commitments despite missing Nash.
Baylor landed No. 5 recruit Quincy Miller and No. 43 recruit Deuce Bello, high school teammates and roommates in North Carolina. Neither player was considering Kansas, though Miller did have a message for the rest of the Big 12 on the ESPNU broadcast.
"We're going to be the best next year," he said.

Sands arrested, posts $441 bond
— Tim Dwyer
KU running back Deshaun Sands was arrested Thursday morning on outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court. Two warrants were issued for Sands after he missed court appearances stemming from separate traffic violations this summer. The first was from June 29 when
Thursday was a big day for Big 12 recruiting. Just not for the Kansas Jayhawks.
Sands failed to provide a valid driver's license or insurance. The second incident occurred on August 6 when he was suspected of speeding. Sands posted the two separate bonds totaling $441 and was released later Thursday morning.

TWO GOOD TO BE TRUE
Little, Morris create mismatches on court
JASON MCKINNEY
From right, Kansas basketball players Marcus Morris, Mario Little and Tyrel Reed are shown during the Big 12 Basketball media days at Sprint Arena in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday. Little and Morris may not play the positions analysts expect them to this season.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

tdwyer@kansan.com
"Well, I don't know if Id go that far," Self said. "Paul's a Hall of Famer. But he's a player like that, from being able to utilize his size inside, but also be as much of a perimeter player as he is."
Most anyone who has tried has projected this starting lineup for Kansas: Josh Selby at the point, Tyshawn Taylor as the two-guard, Mario Little at the three, and Marcus and Markeff Morris at power forward and center, respectively.
Bill Self knows he has a talented player on his hands with Marcus Morris. He's a 6-foot-8, fluid, athletic shooter. It's easy to draw comparisons between Morris and Paul Pierce, the last Jayhawk with that kind of size and a guard's ability on the outside.
Those five players may be right, but the positions may not be.
time at the three.
The door is wide open for Marcus Morris to be the starter at the three with the 6-foot-6, 218-pound Little manning the four spot. Little played most of his minutes in the 2008-09 season as an undersized power forward, and Self has said he likes the matchup problems Little creates.
He put up his hands as a caution when a local media man made the comparison.
"We're so beat up." Self said. "With Withey out and now with Keef out, we just don't have guys to practice."
Whoa. Self will stop you right there.
Morris said Little's ability to score from anywhere on the court is what makes him dangerous enough for the role.
"Mario is the best scorer we have, hands down, the best natural scorer that we have," Morris said. "Rio can score down low, he can shoot the ball real well. He's probably the best natural scorer in the league."
For the moment though, Self isn't sure what his best options are and he said he may not have a set eight-man rotation until the Big 12 season begins in January.
SEE MARKIEFF ON PAGE 9A
Morris will miss a week of prac- tice after hernia.
Self said he has looked at both Little and 6-foot-5 sophomore Travis Releford as options in that line-up, but with the Jeff Withey's injury and Markkeford Morris' hernia surgery yesterday, Marcus hasn't seen much
"It probably won't shake out totally 'til we know what losh is doing," he said. "If we could have our rotation set by Big 12 play, I'd be happy about that."
That lineup would allow Morris to use his uncharacteristic athleticism and shoot range to create a mismatch against a power forward, while Little could use his above average size to back down a smaller guard inside.
"We'll play him on the perimeter as a four man," Self said. "What I can see is posting him, and playing Marcus on the perimeter, so you get Marcus' big man on the perimeter and you can post a guard."

Jayhawks to fight Aggies for conference win
FOOTBALL
kcarpenter@kansan.com
BY KORY CARPENTER
For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, it's a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed.
"I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches," Sherman said. "He is full of integrity."
Freshman Jordan Webb passes downfield during the third quarter of Kansas game against in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium Thursday night. The Jayhawks will attempt to earn their first conference in 10 games.
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference, Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies.
Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including conference losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced similar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114-14.
Freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the second half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesday's practice.
Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game.
"He's still having trouble. He won't be ready for this ballgame," he said. "We'll make to make the decision next week if he's able to go or not."
in those performances are repeated Saturday night in Memorial Stadium, Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note,
Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. He's averaged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylor's Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season.
as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest.
On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one intercept-
the three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jayhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they did was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downrodden lavhawks 59-7.
With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didn't rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night.
"We always have some plays like that in the game plan," he said. "It's just about finding an opportunity to execute them."
tion in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses.
Gill said he wants to have the lead early to call a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasn't been the case the last two games.
Big 12, with big games still remaining in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri. A win by either team would give the respective squad much needed momentum heading into the second half of the season. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Saturday's loser will be 0-3 in the
Frank Martin is not paying attention to the hype his Wildcats have gotten this
Fans shouldn't look at the preseason rankings because Martin isn't.
Hudas have gotten this season. He didn't pay attention to the media four years ago when it said he sucked as a coach.
Preseason rankings ignored by coaches
He talks about it with his team but doesn't want the pressure coming from anywhere but the Kansas State locker room.
BY MIKE LAVIERI
From just listening to Martin talk Thursday afternoon, he is doing a lot of things right in Manhattan.
Martin said he is flattered that his team was picked to finish first in the Big 12 conference because that means other coaches, his peers, think he is doing something right.
He has lost guys like Michael Beasley and Bill Walker, but he has replaced them.
According to Martin, there isn't a problem replacing the numbers. Somebody will step up the next season and contribute, but it's replacing the character that is the most difficult.
1
Martin says that this is Kansas conference because of its dominance.
His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons.
It's addition by subtraction. It's not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their first year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced.
"Nobody has beat them on the floor, which is where you decide who wins," Martin said.
This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.
I think the number one reason Kansas was not selected first was because of the loss of Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry.
It's the same thing Martin does, but in Manhattan.
On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
It's what coach Bill Self calls "Kansas Math."
But Self does not live in the past
He thinks it's difficult to win a national title and it's even more difficult to repeat. He is hungry for another title.
He doesn't look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two first-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes.
I don't think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. They don't mean anything if the team isn't cutting down the net in April.

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
collins@kansan.com
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

The atmosphere within KU athletics was drastically
different between Late Night and the game against K-State. Even though the basketball team has the legacy and the skills, Coach Self was careful to not make any lofty promises to fans. As Aaron Berlin points out in his column, perhaps Coach Gill was hasty with his rousing words prior to the football season. Hindsight
Dan Rezaiekhaligh
is 20-20, however. With the loss of some of the big names on the basketball team, eyes are turning to Marcus Morris to be a leader toward another championship. Morris, wisely, isn't making any promises.

Jayhawks to fight Aggies for conference win
DRUEN 46 2 71
Freshman Jordan Webb passes downfield during the third quarter of Kansas game against in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium Thursday night. The Jayhawks will attempt to earn their first conference in 10 games.
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, it's a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed.
"I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches," Sherman said. "He is full of integrity."
Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference, Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies.
Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including conference losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced similar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114-14.
"He's still having trouble. He won't be ready for this ballgame," he said. "We'll have to make the decision next week if he's able to go or not."
Freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the second half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesday's practice.
Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game.
If those performances are repeated Saturday night in Memorial Stadium, Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note,
Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. He's averaged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylor's Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season.
as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest.
The three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jayhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downtrodden Jayhawks 59-7.
On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one interception in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses.
"We always have some plays like that in the game plan," he said "it's just about finding an opportunity to execute them."
Gill said he wants to have the lead early to call a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasn't been the case the last two games.
With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didn't rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night.
Edited by Abby Davenport
Saturday's loser will be 0-3 in the
Big 12, with big games still remaining in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri. A win by either team would give the respective squad much needed momentum heading into the second half of the season. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.
How do people expect the Jayhawks to win when they lose the winningest player in program history, a big man who bailed anybody out on defense and a versatile scorer?
"Nobody has beat them on the floor, which is where you decide who wins," Martin said.
It's the same thing Martin does, but in Manhattan.
It's what coach Bill Self calls "Kansas Math."
Martin says that this is Kansas' conference because of its dominance.
It's addition by subtraction. It's not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their first year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced.
His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons.
- 60 Record: Kansas state is 50-18.
But Self does not live in the past
On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
He thinks it's difficult to win a national title and it's even more difficult to repeat. He is hungry for another title.
He doesn't look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two first-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes.
I don't think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. They don't mean anything if the team isn't cutting down the net in April.

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicich, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicic said.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

Sooners ready for Missouri match up
BY CLARK FOY The Daily Oklahoma
After being selected as the No. 1 team by the BCS, OU will travel to Missouri and take on the No. 11 Tigers on Saturday. The Sooners struggled on the road last season. Although the wins have not been pretty on the road this year, the team's reemphasized that wins are wins.
The Sooners have beaten Missouri several times in the past few seasons when both were in the top 25, including marquee wins on the road. Most recently, OU embassarded Missouri 62-21 in the Big 12 Championship, giving the Sooners the final bump over Texas into the national championship.
So far, OU has been perfect on the road with wins at Cincinnati and a win over the Longhorns at a neutral site, in part because the team has limited its turnovers this year, sophomore center Ben Habern said.
"We really struggled on the road with turnovers and penalties and getting off
schedule with our offense (last year), and that's one thing we've definitely improved," said Habern.
Penalties plagued the offensive line last season. OU has not been penalized this year for holding or a false start since the second quarter of the Air Force game.
Coach Bob Stoops is 6-0 against the Tigers in his career, and OU has won 19 of 20 meetings with the Tigers over history.
Sophomore quarterback Landry Jones has displayed more swagger and confidence over the past several games, especially last week against Iowa State where he completed 30 of 34 passes and broke an OU record for highest completion percentage with 25 or more attempts.
His confidence, he said, has come from more experience and harder work in practice.
"As you mature as a quarterback, you have to start blocking that stuff out," Jones said. "We're still learning, and it's going to be a huge challenge going up there."

Texas's Garrett Gilbert scans the field against Nebraska during an NCAA college football game Saturday
Loss set Nebraska back for rankings, Heisman contender
MITCH SMITH The Daily Nebraskan
The Huskers entered Saturday's game as a legitimate national title contender, with a No. 5 ranking and a quarterback in the Heisman Trophy conversation. But in the 20-13 loss to the unranked Longhorns, the Huskers let three would-be touchdown passes happen, benched their Heisman-candidate quarterback and all but fumbled away any national championship dreams.
Nebraska wide receiver Niles Paul, who campaigned publicly for a bigger role in the offense earlier this season, dropped a pass that would have likely scored a touchdown. Running back Rex Burkhead bobbled a first-half pass inside the 10-yard line, and wide receiver Brandon Kinnie added to the series of follies in the fourth quarter. Paul said those miscues cost the Huskers a 6-0 record.
NU coach Bo Pelini said his team's loss could be attributed to a series of missed opportunities and failed plays.
Nebraska spent virtually the entire game playing from behind, and Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert more than quadrupled his season rushing total with 71 yards.
But it was the offense, not the defense.
which failed most poignantly. Stopping the Husker offense became a joint project between the Longhorn defense and the Nebraska receivers, Texas contained the running game while the Husker wide receivers paralyzed the passing game.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez was held to 21 rushing yards, zero touchdowns and two fumbles before being benched in the third quarter in favor of Zac Lee.
Lee, the 2009 starter who was criticized for a lack of mobility, outgained Martinez on the ground and led a late field goal-scoring drive that was buoyed by a series of Texas personal fouls.
Barring an unprecedented collapse of powerhouse teams, Nebraska won't attend the BCS National Championship game. And after being benched in two of the last three games, Martinez will probably have to wait a few years to win that Heisman.
Running back Roy Helu Jr. said pushing past Texas will be the focus as the Huskers prepare for this week's game at Oklahoma State.

Missouri must win to prove on Saturday
BY JAKE KREINBERG The Maneater
The Maneater
Missouri has the chance to prove its team this Saturday night against the Oklahoma Sooners.
MU's next two games will not only define the season, but also go a long way toward defining coach Gary Pinkel's term at Missouri.
While next week's game against Nebraska will have more impact in the Big 12 North standings, Saturday's game against the Sooners has the ability to shift the perception of the entire program.
Some fans question if Pinkel can put the Tigers among the nation's elite programs, citing his 0-11 record against traditional South powers Oklahoma and Texas, including seven losses against the Sooners. (Missouri has won three of its past 34 meetings with OU.)
As if exorcising the demons from Norman wasn't inspiration enough, Oklahoma will carry the banner of being the top-ranked team in the country when it travels to Columbia.
With a win, MU will enter the top 10 in the country and prove they are the team to beat in the Big 12.
Pinkel brings a more complete team to face the Sooners than he ever has previously.
Chase Daniel could still be scoring touchdowns for the 2007 Tigers but it still wouldn't get them any closer to Oklahoma or Texas, because the defense was porous enough to let Sooner Schooners plow through it.
The 2010 defense has a cohesiveness that stifles opposing offenses through an aggressive array of blitzing.
Defensive coordinator Dave Steckel feels comfortable bringing pressure nearly every play because he trusts the secondary to match up with the Big 12's finest receivers step for step.
Steckel's philosophy is to limit big plays, and the Tigers have done so en route to allowing only 10.8 points per game, good for second in the nation.
Pressuring the pocket will be Missouri's key to victory Saturday.
Shutting down OU's DeMarco Murray and the ground game will be the Tigers' most difficult task this season, but if they can, it will make for one long night on the road for quarterback Landry Jones against the improved secondary.
Missouri can legitimately say for the first time under Pinkel it has the talent to match up with Oklahoma. Now all the Tigers have to do is prove it on the big stage.

Cowboys bowl-eligible again
BY ALEC SCHIMKE The Daily O'Collegian
In the Cowboys' 34-17 victory against the Red Raiders (3-3, 1-3 Big 12) on Saturday, receiver Justin Blackmon continued to turn heads and added something to his resume that even Michael Crabtree was unable to accomplish while at Texas Tech — top the 200-yard receiving mark at Jones AT&T Stadium. The sophomore receiver from Ardmore had no problems finding openings in the Red Raider secondary, catching 10 passes for a career-high 207 yards in the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) first Big 12 road win of the season.
Even with Blackmon, the Cowboys entered Saturday's game shorthanded at the receiver position with both Hubert Anyiam (sprained ankle) and Michael Harrison (fractured finger) out with injuries. Anyiam and Harrison accounted for five receiving touchdowns in the team's first five games.
Josh Cooper, who was also questionable prior to the game after suffering a head injury against Louisiana, ended up playing in Saturday's game and caught five passes for 38 yards.
Tracy Moore made his first start of the season and caught two passes for a career-high 55 yards and running back Joseph Randle also saw more looks in the passing game, catching three balls for 44 yards.
The Cowboys rushed for 93 yards in the first quarter and uncharacteristically used three rushing touchdowns to grab a 21-0 lead.
Oklahoma State finished the game with 225 yards on the ground. Kendall Hunter led the team with 134 yards on 25 carries, and Randle rushed for a career-high 95 yards on 17 touches.
The Cowboys defense limited Taylor Potts and nation's fourth-ranked passing game to 226 passing yards and forced four 3 and out's in the first quarter to put the Red Raiders out of rhythm early.
The defense was especially effective all game long in limiting big plays and containing screen passes, which Texas Tech has relied on heavily this season.
With the win, the undefeated Cowboys became bowl eligible for the fifth straight season and snapped a 66-year winless streak in Lubbock.

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death.

She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicid said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

Weary Iowa State loses to Oklahoma, looks to Kansas game
BY JAKE LOVETT
Iowa State Daily
The Iowa State football team was tired and beaten up before it went to Norman to face No. 6 Oklahoma. After the Iowa State defense faced 94 plays from the Oklahoma offense, surrendered 52 points and the Iowa State offense was held to just three yards per play, the Cyclones returned with even wearier legs.
At wide receiver, Darius Darks left the field Saturday after a shot to the ribcage sent him off the field. A junior, Darks will likely be limited on Saturday against the Longhorns.
Running back Alexander Robinson has been hobbled with foot and ankle injuries this season, but will be "fine and ready to play," Rhoads said.
Defensive end Rashawn Parker left the loss to Oklahoma with a knee injury, Sophomore Roosevelt Maggitt filled in for the injured Parker and would do so if Parker isn't ready to take the field in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Junior defensive end Jacob Lattimer is listed as the starter at the end opposite Parker and Maggitt, supplanting Patrick Neal, who has started at left end since the 2009 season.
While the defensive front four has been a point of emphasis, Rhoads insisted the Lattimer move and any future playing time for Maggitt are not looks toward 2011 or beyond.
The coach made a similar change on the offensive side of the ball, moving wide receiver Darius Reynolds to the top spot at his position, supplanting Sedrick Johnson.
Reynolds has 11 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown this season, while Johnson has 14 catches for 94 yards this season.
Closing the speed gap
For back-to-back weeks, Rhoads has pointed to differences in team speed as a major reason for scoring discrepancies on the field.
Against Utah, Rhoads pointed to a major speed difference on special teams as a huge gap in the Cyclones' 68-27 loss. There seemed to be a speed difference everywhere on the field in the 52-0 loss to Oklahoma.
With seven teams on Iowa State's schedule in the first Bowl Championship Series rankings that were released on Sunday — including three of their remaining five opponents — the challenge of facing quicker, deeper lineups is present nearly all year.
Recruiting the kind of speed necessary to have the kind of depth that Oklahoma and Utah have, Rhoads said, becomes difficult because players with that speed at each position are fewer and farther between.
The West Des Moines native and Valley High School graduate has 16 punts in the last two games and has averaged 50.9 yards per kick over that span.
While he is second in the Big 12 with his 48.4 yards per kick over the course of the season, Rhoads said there are a few things the first-year special teamer can improve upon.
Coming into the season, punter was a question mark for Rhoads and the Cyclones. Van Der Kamp and senior Daniel Kuehl were battling to replace long-time punter Michael Brandtner who departed the team after
"The biggest disparity between those programs is in the interior lines, especially on the defensive side," Rhoads said. "That's where we need the most growth, probably, in the program."
Kicking it old school
Freshman punter Kirby Van Der Kamp has been one of the brightest spots in Iowa State's back-to-back losses.
2009.
However, after a bit of a slow start, Van Der Kamp has proven himself to be a worthy replacement, even as a freshman.
"He's a true freshman but he's not kicking like one," said Iowa state quarterback Austen Arnaud.

Jayhawks to fight Aggies for conference win

For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, it's a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed.
"I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches," Sherman said. "He is full of integrity."
Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference. Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies.
Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including conference losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced similar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114-14.
Freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the second half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesday's practice.
"He's still having trouble. He won't be ready for this ballgame," he said. "We'll have to make the decision next week if he's able to go or not."
Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game.
If those performances are repeated Saturday night in Memorial Stadium, Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note,
Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. He's averaged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylor's Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season.
as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest.
The three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jayhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they did was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downrodden lavhawks 59-7.
On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one interception in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses.
"We always have some plays like that in the game plan," he said. "It's just about finding an opportunity to execute them."
Gill said he wants to have the lead early to call a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasn't been the case the last two games.
With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didn't rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night.
Saturday's loser will be 0-3 in the
Edited by Abby Davenport
Big 12, with big games still remaining in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri. A win by either team would give the respective squad much needed momentum heading into the second half of the season. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
A
How do people expect the Jayhawks to win when they lose the winningest player in program history, a big man who bailed anybody out on defense and a versatile scorer?
It's the same thing Martin does, but in Manhattan.
It's what coach Bill Self calls "Kansas Math."
His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons.
It's addition by subtraction. It's not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their first year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced.
"Nobody has beat them on the floor, which is where you decide who wins," Martin said.
On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.
Martin says that this is Kansas' conference because of its dominance.
3.
But Self does not live in the past
He thinks it's difficult to win a national title and it's even more difficult to repeat. He is hungry for another title.
He doesn't look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two first-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes.
I don't think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. They don't mean anything if the team isn't cutting down the net in April.

Tech needs win against Colorado on Saturday
BT MIKE GRAHAM
The Daily Toreador
Texas Tech's game in Boulder, Colo., is a pivotal one for the Red Raiders and the rest of their season. Tech needs to win at least three more games to make it to a bowl, and Colorado is considered one of the weaker teams remaining on Tech's schedule.
Colorado, also 3-3 on the season, could provide Tech with an opportunity to get closer to bowl eligibility. The Buffaloes are fresh off a 31-25 home loss to Baylor — a team Tech defeated two weeks ago.
But there are some kinks Tech will need to iron out before traveling up to Boulder to give itself the best chance to win.
Tech lost its last game against No. 17 Oklahoma State 34-17 Saturday — the Red Raiders' only true home game in the month of October. The Cowboy offense outgained the Red Raider offense 581 yards to 401 yards and exposed problems on both sides of the ball that need to be corrected before taking on the Buffaloes.
One of the biggest problems being the Cowboys scored the first 21 points of last
week's game.
"We are playing better offensively," head coach Tommy Tuberville said. "I think we have improved in a lot of areas, but we just haven't improved enough to not play much and not be very successful in the first eight or nine minutes and then start playing."
Allowing 581 yards against Oklahoma State is something the Red Raider defense knows it has to work on.
Defensive coordinator James Willis said he expects Colorado to try to run the football, and the Tech defense needs to work on defending rushing attacks. Tech allowed 225 yards on the ground, and Oklahoma State had almost a 10-minute advantage in time of possession compared to Tech.
However, running back Baron Batch stresses the struggles Tech has faced up to this point in the season are not related to the coaching transition.
"I've heard a lot is people saying, 'We want (Mike) Leach back', or 'They made a mistake getting rid of him,' Batch said. "The players love the coaches we have.
Everybody is on board and looking for ward to getting back to work.
Texas A&M Aggies
Aggies to make-or-break with Jayhawks' Homecoming
BY AUSTIN MEEK
The Detection
The Battalion
Saturday's 30-9 loss to Missouri showcased the Aggies' struggles on offense in front of a packed house at Kyle Field. Senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson finished with a deceivingly impressive stat line with the bulk of his production coming in the fourth quarter when the game was effectively
over. A tough Missouri defense sacked Johnson seven times, including three times in a row on A&M's first possession of the second half.
"All you can do as a football player to get ready for a game is just put as much as you can into practice," Johnson said.
"You don't just flip the switch in a game. I'm really going to go into this week trying to be as perfect as I can be and make sure our team is as perfect as we can be in practice and hope that that translates into a game."
The bright spot for the Aggies was the continued dominance by the rush defense. The Aggie defense held the Tigers to 56 yards on the ground. They currently boast the No.1 rushing defense in the Big 12, allowing a paltry 77 yards per game.
The blame can't be placed solely on Johnson's shoulders. The A&M pass catchers had difficulty finding holes in the Tigers' secondary. The offensive line, which looked confused and outmatched the entire day, suffered another setback when junior left guard Evan Eike went down with an injury.
"He has a sprain of his ankle and we'll take it day by day," said Head Coach Mike Sherman.
After three wins to open the season, the Aggies have suffered three consecutive losses, albeit at the hands of very good teams. In the most recent BCS rankings, Missouri is No. 11, Oklahoma State No. 14 and Arkansas No. 23.
"I know our football team and we're a pretty strong, closeknit group. We have a lot of confidence in what we do, it's just a lack of execution."
The biggest challenge for the Aggies will be keeping up the morale. Johnson asserts that the squad's confidence has not been shaken.
"I know our football team and we're a pretty strong, close-knit group," Johnson said. "If it was a situation where we played a team and we gave it everything we had and they completely ran us off the field, it would be completely different.
"I think we have done a good job in the rush and [Defensive Line] Coach Williams always talks about handling what we can control," said senior defensive end Lucas
"We have a lot of confidence in what we do, it's just a lack of execution."
JERROD JOHNSON Senior quarterback
Patterson. "If we keep doing what we've been doing to stop the rush, it's going to help us as a team."
The Aggies will look to get back on track when they play at Kansas this upcoming Saturday. A win in Lawrence against a 2-4 Jayhawks team would be an important step in the right direction for Sherman's team.
"I think he [freshman
quarterback Jordan Webb] is a good player and they have a really good running back that combines with him." Sherman said. "He fits into that scheme very well. He's a young guy learning his position in their system and I think he has a bright future."
The Aggies will go through the week of practice knowing that Saturday's game could make or break their season. After such disappointing losses the past three weeks, the players are dedicated to correcting their mistakes and getting their first conference win of the season.
"They know they let the fans down and they're bound and determined to get on track again," Sherman said. "These are good kids, they work hard, and we didn't execute the way we're capable of. We've got to coach them better. We've got to play better.
"We're in this thing together through the thick and the thin and our back's against the wall and we've got to put it all together and have a great week of practice and get out on the field Saturday night."

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@ksan.com
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite,but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons.
Martin says that this is Kansas conference because of its dominance.
5
"Nobody has beat them on the floor, which is where you decide who wins," Martin said.
This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.
But Self does not live in the past.
He thinks it's difficult to win a national title and it's even more difficult to repeat. He is hungry for another title.
He doesn't look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two first-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes.
I don't think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. They don't mean anything if the team isn't cutting down the net in April.

He has also thrown for 14 touchdowns. The Aggies hand the ball off to sophomore Christine Michael. Through six games, Michael is averaging 4.9 yards a carry and has four touchdowns.

They, like Kansas, are extremely frustrated and are looking to rid themselves of the negative feelings caused by losing and turn things around.

Texas A&M has a high powered offense and a talented head coach. They're facing a Kansas team that in two conference games has not been competitive.

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

JAYHAWKS STILL LOSING
LARGE LOSS TO K-STATE CREATES LONGING FOR PAST AND INCREASES PRESSURE TO IMPROVE
AARON BERLIN
Guest columnist
Before we go any further, let's be frank and call last Thursday's 59-7 loss to in-state rival Kansas State for exactly what it was: a catastrophe and the unofficial end of the 2010 football season here in Lawrence.
Like a flat-lining patient in the emergency room, the Kansas football season died last Thursday at the hands of Kansas State's ole ball coach Bill Snyder. And really, were we that foolish to believe we would see anything different?
With six games left on the schedule, including road games at Nebraska and Iowa State, it would be ludicrous to claim the Jayhawks to win, let alone be a viable competitor. After all, the team has already shown that two weeks of preparation, and a nationally televised game against an in-state rival Isn't enough time to prepare for a mediocre team with a below average starting quarterback in Carson Coffman, and an over-hyped running back in
While those things are obvious, let's just hope it's not the official end of a football program that once seemed to have a promising and prosperous future, and the eventual end for a coach that once made Nebraska fans praise former athletic director Lew Perkins for the hire.
Daniel Thomas.
Turner Gill is the overpaid $10 million dollar man (ranking him sixth highest paid among active Big 12 schools at 2 million a year) with a story that would make any crazed football fan smile. He is a man that that came from a winning tradition at Nebraska, a man that took perhaps the worst coaching job in football at Buffalo and made them
a winner, and a man who took Kansas' hand in marriage and arrived in Lawrence with loftier expectations than any of his predecessors. Most of these claims came on the strength of his words.
"We're gonna recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the north, recruit, win the Big-12," Gill said at his introductory press conference back on Dec. 14th. Remember, this was said before Colorado and Nebraska decided to jump ship for conferences that are not ran by Texas, the kid that takes everyone's lunch money, but instead, ones with equal revenue sharing, so we will forgive him for some of his comments. It was hard to foreshadow what would happen at the time. Now, six games into the Gill experiment, I think it's safe to say that not only the fans, but the players deserve better then we have seen.
It's one thing to watch a young team develop during their growing pains. It's another to have to watch a team that has not improved, and has seemingly gotten worse since week two of the season against Georgia Tech, a team that now seems to be a less than impressive win by each passing week.

Jaynawks to tight Aggies for conference win

Freshman Jordan Webb passes downfield during the third quarter of Kansas game against in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium Thursday night. The Jayhawks will attempt to earn their first conference in 10 games.
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, it's a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed.
"I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches," Sherman said. "He is full of integrity."
Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference, Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies.
Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including conference losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced similar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114-14.
freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the second half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesday's practice.
Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game.
"He's still having trouble. He won't be ready for this ballgame," he said. "We'll have to make the decision next week if he's able to go or not."
If those performances are repeated Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note,
Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. He's averaged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylor's Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season.
as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest.
On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one interception in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses.
The three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jayhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they did was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downtrodden Jayhawks 59-7.
Gill said he wants to have the lead early to a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasn't been the case the last two games.
"We always have some plays like that in the game plan," he said. "It's just about finding an opportunity to execute them."
With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didn't rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night.
Saturday's loser will be 0-3 in the

Big 12, with big games still remaining in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri. A win by either team would give the respective squad much needed momentum heading into the second half of the season. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Collins, Core Adrich and Xavier Henry.
How do people expect the Jayhawks to win when they lose the winningest player in program history, a big man who bailed anybody out on defense and a versatile scorer?
It's what coach Bill Self calls "Kansas Math."

It's addition by subtraction. It's not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their first year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced.
On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.

never gave up. In his first year as coach, his team finished 2-10 (0-8), the following year they were 6-7 (2-4) and made The Tangerine Bowl.
Who's to say Gill can't do the same in his second year at Kansas? I'm not, but at the same time, I am not holding my breath on this one. Even in Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's one year as football coach, his record (5-2-1) was better than Gill's will be.
It's wrong after only six games to say that Gill should be ran out of town. Afterall, he is a football coach playing with somebody else's players in a system that doesn't fit their characteristics. Gill should still be able to scheme around their weaknesses, however, and supply a game plan that can, at
the very least, keep them in ball games especially ones where the only thing at stake is pride within your own state. That seemed to fade on Thursday night.In the end, that really is the only expectation Gill had in his first season.I guess Saturday during homecoming we will see if this Kansas team finally wakes up out of the recent coma they've fallen into.Like I said earlier, I'm not willing to hold my breath on this one.

This is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18.
How do people expect the Jayhawks to win when they lose the winningest player in program history, a big man who bailed anybody out on defense and a versatile scorer?
But Self does not live in the past
Martin says that this is Kansas conference because of its dominance.
"Nobody has beat them on the floor, which is where you decide who wins," Martin said.
His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons.
It's what coach Bill Self calls "Kansas Math."
It's addition by subtraction. It's not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their first year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced.
It's the same thing Martin does, but in Manhattan.
On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesn't cut it for him.
He thinks it's difficult to win a national title and it's even more difficult to repeat. He is hungry for another title.
He doesn't look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two first-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes.
I don't think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. They don't mean anything if the team isn't cutting down the net in April.

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody", Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

AFTER A SUMMER CAMP MARCUS MORRIS EMERGES AS A VOCAL TEAM LEADER

For the last two seasons, the Kansas basketball team has been the Sherron Collins Show. The Chicago point guard was the face of the program, leading the team in practices, games and showing up on multiple magazine covers
across the country. With Collins' graduation last year, as well as losing center Cole Aldrich early to the NBA, the Jayhawks were suddenly without a vocal leader. Or so it seems.

Aldrich's shot-blocking abilities often scared opposing guards from entering the lane. "I don't think we can replace him (Aldrich) defensively," says Coach Bill Self. Maybe not, but with more athletic post players this season, Self noted his team's speed as an exciting aspect on defense. He also says that his current roster has more inter-

Jayhawks to fight Aggies for conference win
kcarpenter@kansan.com
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, it's a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed.
Freshman Jordan Webb passes downfield during the third quarter of Kansas game against in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium Thursday night. The Jayhawks will attempt to earn their first conference in 10 games.
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
"I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches," Sherman said. "He is full of integrity."
Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference, Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies.
Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including conference losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced similar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114-14.
Freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the second half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesday's practice.
"He's still having trouble. He won't be ready for this ballgame," he said. "We'll have to make the decision next week if he's able to go or not."
Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game.
If those performances are repeated Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note,
Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. He's averaged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylor's Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season.
as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest.
The three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jawhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they did was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downrodden Jayhawks 59-7.
On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one interception in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses.
"We always have some plays like that in the game plan," he said "it's just about finding an opportunity to execute them."
With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didn't rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night.
Gill said he wants to have the lead early to call a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasn't been the case the last two games.
Saturday's loser will be 0-3 in the
Big 12, with big games still remaining in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri.

changeable parts that can potentially cause problems for opposing offenses this season.
With Marcus and Markieff roaming the middle, the Jayhawks will be more versatile and much faster on defense this season. At 235 pounds, Marcus is more athletic than Aldrich. He's able to run the floor as well as any big man in the country, as seen by his 1st team All-American pick by the Blue Ribbon College Basketball yearbook.
"I want this to be a family thing where everybody is the face of the program, not just one or two players." Marcus says.

On Oct. 5, the committee, who names the country's best player after the season, announced it's top 50 players to watch this year and Marcus was the only Jayhawk on the list.

NEED FOR SPEED
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
All Anna Keeney wanted to do was check her grade from a recent anatomy test. She stopped at a computer in Anschutz Library and typed in her username and password to log in to the main screen. Then she waited.
Ten minutes later, the computer finished loading.
"It can be frustrating," said Keeney, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It'd be nice if they could make it faster."
Keeney is one of many students who have experienced delayed login times on library computers. KU Information Technology is working to fix this problem after receiving a steady stream of complaints from students.
Some students said they waited 15 minutes to log in to Novell, the library's network operating system. Library and IT officials said the problem had existed for several weeks.
"We've definitely heard a significant amount of student input as far as frustrations with the login
times," said Rebecca Smith, KU Libraries' communications director. "We are working very hard with IT to find a workable solution in as short a time frame as possible."
KU Libraries is a client of KU Information Technology, which manages all computer equipment and networks located in the University's seven libraries. Though IT officials were unable to provide a definite deadline, they hope to have the login problem fixed soon.
IT officials said the login problem could be caused by a combination of things, including overloaded
WIRELESS IN ANSCHUTZ
hard drives, computer applications,
the login image and the network
itself. They've scheduled a meeting
this week to further discuss
the issue and troubleshoot possible
solutions.
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith is working with library and IT officials to address the issue. He first approached library officials after hearing complaints from students about the slow wireless Internet connection in Anschutz Library.
Smith said the login problem took priority over the slow Internet. He said fixing the login problem would cost less and could potentially improve the Internet connection.
Regardless, IT officials are planning to upgrade the wireless Internet in Anschutz Library as part of phase two of the Learning Studio project. The Learning Studio is the renovated study space in Anschutz Library. The improved wireless network is scheduled to be installed by January, according to the IT website.
Since the Learning Studio opened earlier this semester, Rebecca Smith said daily traffic in Anschutz Library had increased by 30 percent. She said Anschutz Library had about 250,000 visitors every year.
"Of course as you add that additional traffic it puts a lot of stress on the wireless network," Smith said. "It's been a very high priority for us."

The rain pelted the sidewalk outside of Jackpot Music Hall like a two-hour drumroll. The second night of competition for the title of KJHK's Farmer's Ball battle of the bands champion was on: four bands, one prize, and only 30 minutes to shine.
The night before, eight bands from Lawrence and surrounding areas took the same stage, trying to make it to Friday night's final-four round. Most of the bands have been together for about one year. The first place prize would mean a lot to them.
"We're broke," said Nicholas Stahl, drummer for the band Elevator Action. "And the prize this year is awesome."
Tyler Snell, guitarist for Rader Defender performs at the Farmer's Ball at the Jackot on Friday Oct. 22nd sponsored by KJHK. This years Farmer's Ball participants include local bands; Cherry Tree Parade, Reward Tree, Elevator Action, A Lion L. This Past Winter and Morns.

Events to address domestic violence
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, lana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody." Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

BANDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
full of great talent and he was glad he didn't have to single-handedly pick the winner. This year was no different.
Will Nots won this year's prize,
which totaled more than $1,000 in value and included a package of three music videos with Musicians Network.
Will Nots also received a $200 gift card to Mass. Street Music and a package of 35 T-shirts from Blue Collar Press.
"We had a lot of people that came both nights to support us," Tyler Francis said. "It feels really good."
Francis, a local producer and one of the initial members of Will Nots, said he has followed Farmer's Ball since he was in junior high. He said
it let him get to know more about the artists that he looked up to in the community.
"Now I can hopefully be one of those guys that kids can dig on and hopefully aspire to be in their own Farmer's Ball." Francis said before entering the competition.
Will Nots is a Lawrence band made up of five men who grew up around Farmer's Ball. A self-proclaimed boogie and soul group, the Will Nots have performed as the back-up band to Approach, a local hip-hop artist.
Radar Defender, Cherry Tree Parade, I Heard A Lion, Reward Tree, Elevator Will Nots, This Past Winter, and Morris Mars all brought different styles of music to this truly
eclectic battle of the bands.
Despite the obvious desire of winning, many of the bands were happy to simply perform in front of a new crowd. Scott Burr, a senior from Topeka and member of the competing band Radar Defender, is glad to give his recently formed band a chance to perform.
"We're just excited to play in front of a large group of people that may not have normally come to our shows," Burr said.
Radar Defender was one of the four bands to make it to Friday's final round. At 10 p.m., the band performed first for a slowly building crowd. The rain controlled the influx of people from the street which created an atmosphere of quiet competitiveness. The energy had to come from the band, and the Farmer's Ball format endorsed that energy.
"It encourages people to step up their game because they are competing." Burr said.
As both nights progressed, the crowd filled the area around the stage. Made up of friends and fans of the bands and bar patrons, the crowd had to make the ultimate decision Friday night. When asked to vote for their two favorite bands at the end of the night, the crowd made it clear that Will Nots were deserving of the title they were hoping for: 2010 Farmer's Ball battle of the bands champions.

MONT VERNON, N.H. — "We're about to do the most evil thing this town has ever seen."
Murder defendant Steven Spader is said to have uttered those words as he and three other teens allegedly drove to a house they had

Many potential jurors were disqualified after saying they were sure Spader was guilty, or were terrified by the crime and the prospect of viewing the evidence. Some said they would be skeptical if Spader's lawyers did not put on evidence of their own.
In Mont Vernon, the trial is

The intruders cut power to the contemporary ranch-style home before dawn Oct. 4, 2009. Once inside, they used an iPod taken from Jaimie Cates' room to illuminate their path to the master bedroom, where Jaimie and her mother, 42-year-old Kimberly Cates, slept. Jaimie's father, David Cates, was away on a business trip.
Prosecutors say Spader, then 17, and Christopher Gribble, then 19, hacked mother and daughter with a machete and a knife, killing Kimberly and severely wounding Jaime. The girl survived by feigning death as her assailants continued to slash and kick her, she told police.
Jaime, who had achieved a black belt in karate just four months earlier, called police from a cell phone and was still conscious when Milford Sgt. Kevin Furlong arrived at the house.

New Tiller documentary has chilling courtroom footage
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — One of the more chilling scenes in "The Assassination of Dr. Tiller" is captured in grainy courtroom video from March 2009.
There is Tiller, the Wichita doctor, on trial for 19 misdemeanors related to his controversial late-term abortion practice.

The first documentary film since Roeder's sentencing to 50 years without parole comes from MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow, whose show at 9 p.m. EDT Monday will be pre-empted for the premiere of "The Assassination of Dr. Tiller."
Maddow, who co-created and narrated the film, said she did it to shed new light on the contentious case.
"Our motto here is, 'We're trying to increase the amount of useful information in the world,' she said in a phone interview last week.
But like Tiller himself, that explanation is more complicated than first appears.
The film, 43 minutes long with commercial breaks, begins as a

Then the film rewinds to tell the story of the two men and what led them to that fateful day: how Tiller became an abortion provider, locked horns with Operation Rescue, was shot in both arms by Shelley Shannon in 1993 and defied every attempt to shut down his practice.

As the pair escaped, police officer Chris Chancellor intercepted them.
Fry didn't deny the charges. He told The Oklahoma that he warned police to stay away from his dog unless they wanted to face his shotgun.
Chancellor told The Okla- human officers had received numerous complaints about Buddy Tough, who had been in the pound before. He said Fry had been told he could retrieve the dog and sort out the fine in court.
"I've been in law enforcement 20 years, and this is the first time I've known of anyone that has busted a dog out of jail," Chancellor told The Oklahoma
Fry spent several days in jail, and faces a municipal charge of allowing an animal to run at large.

Expert voices could help clarify debate
In regards to Mr. Dopf's and Mr.Raborg's lively discussion about politics and the economy, I would like to request that the UDK ask someone in both the Economics Department and Political Science Department to define Keynesian economics and Capitalism, and collectivism and socialism, respectively. I would like to hear what someone who has made it his/her life's chief priority to study these things has to say, in contrast to a philosophy lecturer's and cellular biologist's take on these matters.

GUEST COLUMN
Sanity rally has issues, downside
Besides his television show, Stewart's political instrument is the Oct. 30 "Rally to Restore Sanity." In a time when political extremists are directing political conversation. Stewart's event hopes to allow political moderates to voice their opinions. It is doubtful, though, that the rally will make a significant impact.
Jon Stewart wants to change the way Americans discuss politics. Unlike those on the far right and far left of the political spectrum, Stewart hopes to foster intelligent discourse among the middle rather than using tactics like fear-mongering.
The Rally to Restore Sanity is obviously a parody of conservative Glenn Beck's Aug.' Rally to Restore Honor'. Although its intent may be serious, the rally has already taken a step back away from its goal. How can a comedian be taken seriously, especially when his colleague Stephen Colbert is holding an even less serious "Rally to Keep Fear Alive" on the same day? Many critics have already dismissed the purpose of Stewart's rally as illegitimate based solely on the comedic context.
Another factor going against Stewart's rally is the targeted audience. Whereas Beck was supported by passionate older Tea Partiers and conservatives, Stewart is relying on moderate college students and young adults. Sadly, the last election was an exception to the long-standing rule that our demographic does not get involved with politics. Young voters in 2008 were most likely liberals motivated by a radical and charismatic voice of change — not moderates who wanted to discuss issues using their "indoor voice," as Stewart surmises. Discouraging excessive and loud behaviors will only alienate many of Stewart's serious followers.
Because the audience is so young, the date is also an issue. An Oct. 30 date — the day before Halloween — will limit the rally's audience to mostly Washington, D.C.-area residents who will not have to travel. Honestly, which moderate college student would be willing to travel to Washington and miss out on Halloween for the sake
of a rally? I doubt the same crowd that watches the Daily Show for laughs and kicks.
Unless Stewart's rally outnumbers that of Beck's, which saw 80,000 participants, people from both parties will deem Stewart's event not a political stance against extremism, but rather a cool social gathering. Currently, attendance is expected to be low, especially since Colbert is going to take some attendees away from Stewart with his own rally.
However paradoxical as it may seem, it would not hurt if the rally for sanity included some passion and shouting. Yet, millions of people whispering are just as loud as a few hundred yelling. In the unlikely scenario of Stewart's rally gaining momentum, time would be better spent listening to a hysterical Colbert than trying to unsuccessfully change a nation's mindset with an ineffective Stewart.

MENTAL HEALTH
Sister's death showcases need to end silent suffering
Seven months ago, I found out my 11-year-old sister committed suicide. I am still plagued by the horrendous reality of those words. A large majority of my family has suffered from depression and mental illness — myself included but few would have suspected my sister of being so utterly homeless at such a young age
The Conscientious Consumer
Silent suffering needs to end. More needs to be done to help those inflicted with a form of mental illness, as it is already difficult for them to seek help. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, among those diagnosed with major depression, 50 percent don't receive treatment. And what about those who are never diagnosed? I'm sure the statistics would skyrocket if it were possible to know the exact number of people who are left undiagnosed and untreated for mental illnesses.
hopes as such if young age.
When I left for college last year, the last thing I was worried about was my little sister's mental state. With so many things in my world changing, I was fighting to manage my own anxiety and depression by attempting to achieve balance — an elusive ideal. Not for a second did I think my sister's life was in jeopardy.
The current solutions leave those battling with a mental illness feeling chastised; they are labeled and medicated, made to feel like there are no alternatives
JESSICA BROWN
Among the myriad of ways available to treat mental illness, few attempt to do anything more than treat the symptoms. Discovering the cause of mental illness is imperative to full recovery. Medication, at times, is the only option left for those with severe mental illness for which the cause is unknown. However, doctors and psychiatrists need
The truth is there are alternative treatments that are safe, effective, and affordable. The challenge being many of these alternative treatments involve changing the way one lives.
BY SARAH BREGMAN
sgross@kansan.com
to search for the cause of mental illness on a case-by-case basis, rather than turning a person into a science experiment for the latest anti-depressants.
Dr. Mark Hyman of The Huffington Post lists seven factors that should be examined when searching for the cause of one's depression: Food allergies, hypothyroidism, vitamin D, omega-3 fats, B12, mercury and exercise.
Five of these factors could easily be discovered by examining one's diet and exercise routine, and the other two could be found by simple lab tests. Dr. Hyman recommends exercising for 30 minutes five times a week to raise BDNF levels (which he describes as the brain's natural antidepressant), getting tested for mercury toxicity and hypothyroidism, and reevaluating dietary choices and taking vitamins when necessary.
I have been working to fight off my own inner demons by reevaluating and changing my lifestyle. Mental illness needs to be taken seriously. Rather than disguising, ignoring, or not recognizing the symptoms, the mental health community needs to invest their time and energy on the discovery and prevention of mental illness.
I refuse to let my sister's death be in vain. I lost my 11-year-old sister; the present mental health system obviously is not all that spectacular if an 11-year-old's sadness was left undiscovered, and her hope was not restored.

"I'm actually going to go the libertarian route (it does happen sometimes) and urge the privatization of marriage. All the benefits the government gives to the married (over the unmarried or those they don't consider married) is nothing short of social engineering. Marriage is a private matter, and what's more, an arbitrary line is going to be drawn somewhere - "Gays can marry, but not to more than one guy or the cousin, though they can under 18, but only on Tuesdays." On personal issues like these, sometimes it really is best to default to privatization and punt the issue."

"To imagine that any partial or full orientation change is even possible still does not denote the fact that the vast, vast supermajority of the time the changes do NOT happen. That the norm in ex-gay therapy is absolute failure. Furthermore, I'm not going to read the 'news' article you have and the ONE study you managed to drudge up why? Because the actual science organizations, the APA, etc., do not espouse those viewpoints. And why is that? Because their study's and accumulated science is far more quantifiable, more provable, and downright outweighs that of the corner of 'religiously motivated biblical science' that is notorious for lying and having been proven as much."

Engineering school trying to save iconic tree
Tree's varying colors an attractive feature

ENGINEERING
Construction on a new engineering building will likely force the removal of a tree long enjoyed by students. It would have cost $11,000 to re-plant.
BY CARLO RAMIREZ editor@kansan.com
For the last 40 years engineering students have enjoyed watching the crabapple tree outside of Eaton Hall change colors. It has become a staple for many students during their time at the University. But it might not be there for long.
"Some people may only see a tree; I see an amazing living structure that gives a lot of people pleasure through its beauty," said Jill Hummels, director of public relations for the School of Engineering. "When it catches the snow it's nothing short of stunning."
Howard Ting/KANSAN
In January, the school received a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology that will provide enough support to construct a new research facility. The work inside the building will focus on materials, measurements, infrastructure and sustainable environment. As for now the building is "tentatively" being called the Materials, Measurement and Sustainable Environment Center.
the tree is located.
Currently, the school plans to construct the new building where
Engineering Student Council and Graduate Engineering Association have gotten involved to determine how to preserve the tree. At first the plan was to uproot the tree and plant it somewhere else. However, the tree is surrounded by metal pipes which run underground that cancel out landscaping companies' use of machinery that would detract the tree. A fundraiser was put together in order to raise $2,000. However, after the landscaping companies took a look at the tree, the cost to re-plant the tree rose to $11,000. No other landscaping company could guarantee the tree would live past a year.
the tree without a one-year guarantee of survival is not the best option.
"Even though we are engineers, we still do appreciate beauty," said Mahender Mandala, a graduate student from Hyderabad, India and president of the Graduate Engineering Association.
Hummels said she noticed the tree when she first began working for the school 10 years ago. Hummels said she couldn't help but notice all the variations of colors the tree took during each season. In the spring, as she describes, the tree is a mass of white blooms, the summer brings a profusion of green, and in the fall you are able to see red berries.
The two student groups decided the $11,000 required to preserve

smaller tree that was separated from the rest. I saw that it was a unique tree and definitely stood strong on its own."
The new plan of action is to contact the Douglas County Master Gardeners to see about some kind of propagation from the tree. They hope to take the best advice from the Master Gardner, which could include grafting a scion from the tree or collecting seeds and planting them.
Hummels said she hoped the master gardeners would point the school in the right direction to keep the tree around.
"Raising funds to transplant the tree is on hold," Hummels said. "We do know that if we were successful in propagating the tree, we have some areas identified southwest of Eaton where it would be safe to plant for future generations to enjoy."

Cyclones beat Jayhawks in three sets
Team outmatched despite previous win
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Kansas fell in three sets to the No. 12 Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday, outmatched offensively and defensively by the team it upset on Oct. 9. The Cyclones were ranked No. 10 in the earlier meeting, making them the first top-10 opponent the Jayhawks had defeated in program history.
Middle blocker freshman Caroline Jarmoc said that the team knew the Cyclones would be tough to beat and went into the match aggressively, but struggled with errors and had trouble with defense on both the front and back rows.
"In some areas of the game, we weren't as fully polished as we needed to beat a No. 12-ranked team," Jarmoc said. "It was just the little details that held us back."
Iowa State (15-4 overall, 8-3 Big
12) advanced to its fourth-straight win, taking all three sets with scores of 25-20, 25-23 and 25-20. The Jayhawks kept the games close for much of the contest, but couldn't sustain a lead over a Cyclones offense with three players posting double-digit kills and a defense that stacked up 55 digs
Jarmoc helped the Jayhawks come close to tying the score early in the first set with three kills on a 6-1 run. She went on to record eight kills with a team best .438 hitting efficiency and four blocks. But, once having fallen behind, Kansas could not catch up.
Kansas brought the deficit back to a single point again later in set with kills by junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser, together with a Cyclones error. Iowa State answered back with three consecutive points and led by five in

the end. As a team, the Jayhawks hit for only .081 — against the Cyclones' .231 — in the first set and went on to improve their offense in the second set. But so did the Cyclones.
Kaiser said the 0-3 loss wasn't the way the team hoped to go into the second half of conference play

Iowa State outblocked Kansas 7-6 in the contest as a whole and ended the set and match with back-to-back kills by Straube and one more from sophomore Alison Landwehr.
Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks would look to create more defensive opportunities in the upcoming match with Missouri and turn close sets into wins.
"We know we've got to do a better job in endgame," Bechard said.
"When it's 20-20, 22-all, stepping up and making good volleyball plays."
"We're going to get right back on there," Bechard said of the upcoming match at Missouri. "And I know we'll have a focused group ready and the team will be hungry to break through on the road, so that's what we'll be looking for."
The Jayhawks hit the road Wednesday for a Border Showdown at Missouri. In their last meeting, the Jayhawks topped the Tigers in four sets to improve the series record to 33-49 with Missouri holding the advantage. The match will be televised on Metro Sports in Lawrence.

than the jayhawks in conference play is coach Turner Gill's perception among the fans. Another blowout loss, this time to Texas A&M 45-10, is just fuel for the fire that is putting heat on the head coach who is only seven games into his career at Kansas.
As if there was ever any doubt before this week, Kansas has become the worst team in the Big 12. They've become that team opponents look forward to playing because it's fun to win by five touchdowns. They've become that team who can help opponents on three game losing streaks leave on the right track.
The Jayhawks are only three seasons removed from winning the Orange Bowl and it was only last year Kansas had expected to compete for the Big 12 North title.
At the center of this disaster is Gill, who is dealing with mounting criticism. What is there to say about him? He has been outscored 159-24 in three Big 12 games. He won against New Mexico State, who is 1-6 and against Georgia Tech who hasn't been ranked since it lost to Kansas and already has lost three times this year. Still, they are defending ACC champions but the reality is that sometimes, you just get lucky.
The worst part is that minimal, if any, improvements are being made from week to week. So despite the clear lack of talent on this team, a good coach would still take a group of players and make them better as the season progresses. You definitely could not say that happened between the Baylor and Kansas State games. And although the Kansas offense seemed as if they may be able to compete with Texas A&M early in the game, devastating mistakes killed any hope the Jayhawks might have had.
It doesn't help that both quarterbacks Kale Pick and Jordan Webb left the game against A&M with injuries, but it wasn't as if Kansas was competitive until they left the game. The Jayhawks never led.
"I can't really put a finger on what exactly happened," tight end Tim Biere said. "Something just always happens."
The end result was a stadium which is seeing dwindling attendance and an increasing number of fans leaving early.
"We just try to get to better, Gill said. "That's all we can do is try and get better as a football team and obviously we have injuries."
What makes Gill's situation at Kansas even messier is the fact that his contract makes it very difficult and expensive

Excitement for Giants-Rangers
MORNING BREW
Last spring, at the beginning of the MLB season, I had already prepared myself for another Yankees Phillies World Series. On paper they were clearly the best two teams, both with potent offenses and strong pitching staffs.
At the outset of the playoffs a few weeks back, I still believed another Yankees-Phillies series was inevitable, and in the divisional round of the playoffs both teams swept their opponents, with relative ease.
So when the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants both jumped out to 3-1 leads, I got excited.
Being realistic, the Yankees and Red Sox dominate the baseball media. And the East Coast was more than thrilled when the Phillies awoke and finally started to become the dominant force in the National League, because it allowed them to diversify their coverage by bringing a third team into the conversation, one that was located a solid 93 miles away.
93 miles away. This year the fans get a fresh taste of new talent. Both the Giants and Rangers have fantastic aces in their rotation. Cliff Lee, of the Rangers, boasts a stunning 7-0 post-season record, and the Giants claim Tim Lincecum, who has won the past two NL Cy Young Awards as the best pitcher in the National League.

And can you guess who the teams will trot out to the mound in the World Series Opener on Wednesday night? That's right — Lincecum and Lee. I can't wait to witness that pitching matchup.
The Rangers also have their feel good stories, especially former first overall draft pick Josh Hamilton's career restoration after recovering from a drug and alcohol
These teams also host many intriguing characters. In Buster Posey, the Giants feature a rookie catcher to guide their talented rotation, and he has also anchored the clean-up spot in the lineup. Around him are a bunch of guys considered castoffs or too old by most other teams. Their middle infield is made up of the spry duo of 32-year-old Freddy Sanchez and 34-yearold Edgar Renteria.

addiction that left him out of baseball for a few years. Since joining the Rangers in 2008 Hamilton has played in the All-Star game for three consecutive years.
So baseball fans rejoice, because you won't have to watch the Yankees claim their 28th title this fall. Instead we get to watch to teams that haven't been to the playoffs since 2003 (Giants) and 1999 (Rangers) compete for the title. And no matter what happens on the field, baseball fans across America win.

Britt shines, Titans win 37-19
NFL
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans just don't lose anymore to NFC teams, and they keep finding new ways — and new stars.
Kerry Collins threw three touchdowns to Kenny Britt, who had the best game of his career two days after being involved in a bar fight, and the Titans scored a team-record 27 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 37-19 on Sunday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Britt had the best receiving game in the NFL this season. He caught touchdown passes of
David Akers kicked his fourth and final field goal, a 28-yarder giving Philadelphia a 19-10 lead, early in the fourth quarter. He had his own big day a week after missing three attempts in a win over Atlanta.
The turning point came when Tennessee, which had already intercepted Kevin Kolb, stripped him of the ball at the Titans 3 in the third quarter. Tennessee drove for a field goal to pull within 16-10.

But Britt was the story of the game.
26, 80 and 16 yards and finished with seven receptions for 225 yards — all career highs for the second-year player on a day when he didn't start as punishment for his role in the fight.
The Eagles (4-3) blew a 19-10 lead despite sacking Collins three times and forcing him into three turnovers. But Philadelphia couldn't convert any of those turnovers into points.
The Titans (5-2) won their NFL-best 12th straight over the NFC with Collins making his first start in a year. Vince Young was sidelined by a sprained left knee and ankle that had him still limping in pregame warmups.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher started rookie Damian Williams instead of Britt.

Chiefs cruise to 42-20 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For almost three quarters, Todd Bouman looked anything like an inexperienced quarterback whod just been signed off the street.
Finally, just as they expected, the Kansas City Chiefs had a mistake to pounce on. Derrick Johnson returned an interception for a touchdown and an eight-point lead early in the third period and the momentum suddenly belonged to KC.
Matt Cassel threw two touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs rolled to a 42-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
The Chiefs (4-2), with the

most productive rushing attack in the league coming in, ran for 236 yards and three TDs while overcoming several penalties.
Still, the Jaguars (3-4) trailed by only one point late in the third when Bouman, under pressure, threw an ill-advised pass right to Johnson. The linebacker made a juggling interception and ran

The mistake was costly because the Jaguars had just pulled to 21-20 on Bouman's

The Chiefs, the third least-penalized team in the league coming in, hurt themselves several times. Berry drew a 37-yard pass interference penalty that led to Bouman's TD pass to Sims-Walker in the third quarter.
Then at the end of the half, cornerback Brandon Carr's pass interference penalty in the end zone set up the Jaguars for first-and-goal from the 1. But the defense held and Jacksonville had to settle for Josh Scoebe's 19-yard field goal that made it 14-13 at the half.

The women's rowing team competed against Kansas State this weekend at the Sunflower Showdown at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir. The team encountered windy weather that affected its overall ability to race. The Jayhawks won the Varsity Four race, and the Wildcats won the other varsity and novice races.
Because of the windy conditions, the teams had to resort to "floating
starts". This meant that the races couldn't successfully begin from the starting platforms so the two teams floated their boats until they were close to the same area of course and began to race. Because of this default all race distances and times were unofficial.
Coach Rob Catloth said he still felt that the team was on the right track.

"It was good to get our first race under our belt," Myers said in a press release. "I think we have a lot of talent and a ton of room to improve. Everything we do is a learning experience."

Costly mistakes hurt Jayhawks once again

Texas A&M was about to punt early in the second quarter. Kansas had scored on the previous possession, only trailing 10-17. The Jayhawks were supposed to get the ball back, drive down the field and show they weren't the bottom-dwellers of the Big 12.
The Jayhawks had all the momentum. They were about to use this homecoming game to end a terrible start to the Big 12 season.

But the Jayhawks responded and drove the ball all the way to the Aggie seven-yard line. Quarterback Jordan Webb looked a little shaken up, but coach Turner Gill kept him in anyway.
It was yet another costly mistake for Kansas.
"There plays out there that if they just went our way, it could have been a different game." Laptad said.
this recent losing trend has a lot of problems that need addressing. On defense, the team is missing tackles and not getting takeaways. On offense, they are turning the ball over and not putting the ball in the endzone.

for him to be fired. Jayhawk fans were spoiled into thinking Kansas could be more than a basketball school, and for a few years it was. Now that football has fallen back into the dark ages, people remember the good times and want them back.
However, it may be about that time to honestly consider whether Gill is the right man to lead Kansas out of this mess.
In fairness, you could argue Gill deserves a few years to prove himself with his own players. But the fact remains that the only guys Kansas could recruit after
winning the Orange Bowl are the guys you see on the field now. So what makes you think a coach — that many fans already resent — can persuade high school kids to come play football at the bottom of the Big 12 in a stadium of fed up people?
His players look confused on the field. They show up late to the huddles. They don't seem prepared and look like they've given up by the end of the game. And these things reflect coaching more than the team's lack of talent.

Webb threw a fade route into the corner of the north endzone on 3rd and 6, only to be intercepted by Aggie cornerback Dustin Harris who returned it 83 yards
to the Kansas 17-yard line. Texas A&M scored three plays later, pushing its lead to 31-10. The 14-point swing killed any momentum the offense would have had, and coach Turner Gill said Webb's injury caused the bad throw.

as well as he could, but just couldn't get it there," Gill said.
Backup quarterback Kale Pick relieved Webb on the following possession but was unable to revive the offense, completing seven of 12 passes for only 40 yards. Pick's night was also cut short when he suffered a concussion to start the fourth quarter. The brief playing time was the first meaningful minutes for Pick since his start against North Dakota State, where the offensive woes players, coaches and fans have experienced all season began.
The start of Big 12 play sucked even more life out of the offense, which has now scored 24 points the last three games, placing the unit firmly in last in scoring in the
conference. Gill noted the lack of big plays as the most frustrating part of these now weekly offensive performances.
"It wasn't an issue of effort. We just didn't make enough plays," Gill said. "We needed to make a little more plays to keep our defense off the field."
The time of possession was surprisingly dead even at 30 minutes a piece. The Aggies also overcame 130 yards worth of penalties. Overcoming penalties with big plays isn't something Kansas was able to do Saturday night — or all season.
Webb's production has dropped in the
last three weeks as well, throwing five interceptions with only two touchdown passes. Sophomore tight end Tim Biere caught the lone touchdown pass of the night in the second quarter to go along with his 67 receiving yards. He said his performance was decent, but obviously wasn't enough to change to lopsided score.
"It's been a tough three weeks, but there are better days ahead."
Biere sees hope in the future.
"Obviously, we can only go up". Biere said. "It's been a tough three weeks, but there are better days ahead."
With the uncertainty surrounding the injuries to Webb and Pick, those better days might be a little further off. Gill told reporters after the game they would review both injuries this week with the medical staff before making any decisions.
Gill was hesitant to put third-string quarterback Quinn Mecham into the game in the fourth quarter, opting for freshman wide receiver D.J. Beshears instead. Beshears took snaps from shotgun and actually notched 26 yards rushing on five plays. Only then did the staff throw Mecham — a junior college transfer who didn't see

3. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb: KU failed to do anything on offense for the third straight week, scoring only 10 points against the Aggies. On multiple occasions, Webb missed open receivers that ended up stalling drives. Webb's endzone interception in the 2nd quarter was a potential 14 point swing, giving A&M a 31-10 lead before halftime.
2. The defense: After scoring only 9 points against Missouri last week, the Aggie offense dominated the Jayhawk defense to the tune of 521 total yards and 45 points.The defense has given up 159 points in the last 3 games.
1. Sophomore defensive end Toben Opurum: After switching from running back to linebacker before the season, the coaching staff made another change before kickoff, starting Opurum at defensive end to generate speed on the pass rush. The move was unsuccessful, as the Texas A&M offensive linemen held Opurum in check all night.
Turning Point
Losing 24-10 in the 2nd quarter, Jordan Webb marched the offense down the field to the Aggie 7-yard line. On 3rd down he threw an interception into the hands of Cornerback Dustin Harris who returned it 83 yards to the Kansas 17-yard line. KU went from potentially being down 7 to being down 21 in a matter of four plays.

Injuries
Kansas once again lost the turnover battle, 2-0. Gill has said he wants to be plus 2 in turnover margin each game.
Quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Kale Pick both left the game with injuries. Webb injured his shoulder on a 6-yard run in the 2nd quarter, while Pick suffered a concussion in the 4th. Neither player returned and their status for next week's game against Iowa is uncertain.

Behind McFadden's big day, Oakland dominates Denver
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Snowball effect?
This was more of an avalanche.
The Oakland Raiders scored touchdowns 8 seconds apart to
kick-start a rout of the Denver Broncos that recalled so many of the lopsided scores between these former AFI teams in the 1960s.
Behind Darren McFadden's four touchdowns, the Raiders scored the
most points in their 50 year history Sunday with a 59-14 thrashing of the demoralized Broncos.
The Raiders (3-4) won for the third straight time at Invesco Field, fueled by a 38-point outburst in the

The Broncos (2-5) had no answers for backup quarterback Jason Campbell, who started despite a sore knee in place of Bruce Gradkowski (sore shoulder), or McFadden, who showed no ill effects of a recent hamstring injury. He scored on a pair of 4-yard runs and a 19-yard reception in the first half and on a 57-yard run in the half.
Michael Bush's 1-yard TD run with 27 seconds left in the third quarter made it 59-14 and broke the Raiders' franchise scoring record of 52 points. The fifth TD rushing tied a team record and their eight

NFL
Two touchdowns on INTs help Browns shock Saints
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — David Bowens looks even older than he is, with specks of gray in his hair and beard.
Age didn't seem to be a factor during Bowens' returns of 30 and 64 yards, the second of which he punctuated by clumsily somersaulting into the end zone.
So after the 33-year-old Cleveland linebacker intercepted Drew Brees twice Sunday and returned both for touchdowns, teammates celebrating their stunning 30-17 victory over the defending champion New Orleans Saints joked at Bowens' expense.
"They say I'm the oldest guy to score two touchdowns since Larry Csonka," Bowens said, alluding to the Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame fullback.
"I can't dance," Bowens said, explaining that his celebration was a reprise of Reggie Bush's end zone somersault in the NFC title game in January 2007. "I can't do it as sweet as he does it. I'm a little heavier than he is and a little older."
Bowens was not accustomed to scoring touchdowns. In his previous 11 NFL seasons, he had only one on a blocked punt.
"You don't dream of games like that," Bowens said. "You don't ever think anything is going to happen like that. It's unbelievable."
- Perhaps Bowens had a little karma working for him in New Orleans. Several years ago, he
helped raise $20,000 for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Incidentally, his career-best performance came not only at Brees' expense, but just days after the quarterback had welcomed a son named Bowen.
Brees, who was intercepted 11 times last season, has thrown 10 already. The only other time Brees had four interceptions in a game was when New Orleans lost to Tennessee in September 2007.
"Whenever you throw a pick, you're going to be upset. ... Four interceptions are hard to swallow." Brees said. "I think we are all doing a little soul searching. We know how good we can be. Obviously, we aren't playing that way right now."
Scott Fujita and Sheldon Brown also had interceptions for Cleveland. Fujita, a defensive leader for the Saints last season and a former fan favorite in the Louisiana Superdome, snagged his interception at the Cleveland 3 to thwart a likely scoring drive. Fujita also had one of three sacks on Brees. He was constantly watching the Saints' sideline for substitutions, then relayed the information to his own sideline to help with pre-snap adjustments.
Afterward, Cleveland coach Eric Mangini gave Fujita a game ball.
"I tried to do my best early this week in practice to prepare our team for what we would face today, as it's no secret that I am familiar with the Saints," Fujita said. "It's one thing to plan the Xs
and Os, but it's another to come out and execute it. The way we did it was pretty impressive. ... I didn't think we'd shut them down like that."
The Saints outgained Cleveland 394-210, but the Brownss made big plays on defense and special teams in building a 20-3 halftime lead that had the crowd booing the defending Super Bowl champions as they went to the locker room.
Rookie Colt McCoy passed for only 74 yards but got his first win as an NFL starter — a desperately needed one for the struggling Browns (2-5). Peyton Hillis rushed for a 4-yard score for Cleveland's only offensive touchdown.
The Saints (4-3) never led and got no closer in the second half than 20-10 on Brees' 11-yard pass to David Thomas early in the fourth quarter.
First, Joshua Cribbss passed across the field early on his punt return to Eric Wright, who bolted up the sideline for 62 yards to the New Orleans 19. That set up Phil Dawson's 23-yard kick.
Late in the half, punter Reggie Hodges shocked the Saints by darting through a huge hole up the middle for 68 yards to the Saints 9. It was the longest rush by a punter since 1970.
Soon after, Dawson hit from 21 vards.
Hillis' short scoring run was set up by a pass interference call against Malcolm Jenkins on a long attempt to Cribbs.

Wilbert lost her first singles match, but bounced back to win her next match in the qualifying rounds. Pezotti and Lazarevic both lost their opening matches.

Khanevskaya rallied from a set down to defeat Oklahoma's Brittany Parks 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 to win the singles flight Sunday morning.

Beware Halloween sweet tooth
But that could creep up on students in terms of calories and fat.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she thought people don't realize how many calories were in fun-size bars.
"They often underestimate," she said.
"It really adds up," she said.
Lesley Ballinger, a junior from Winchester, said she tried to look at serving suggestions sizes so she was aware of what she was eating.
She also recommended that students skip candies they don't like as well to allow themselves to indulge in candies they love.
"Don't eat candy just to be eating it," she said. "Choose your two or three favorites and really enjoy them."

CAMPUS
CLAS hold pauses enrollment for seniors
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
When Zach Zastrow went to enroll in classes for the spring semester, he had a hold on his account from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He tried to find information about it, but anything he found was too vague.
Zastrow is one of 2700 seniors who had a hold placed on their accounts on Sept. 28. Students who were given the hold have completed 90 hours or more, excluding the hours they are currently taking. Students who are graduating this semester and have applied for graduation did not receive a hold. This is the first year the college is placing this particular hold.
"So far it hasn't been a great experience and I've missed my enrollment by a few days," said Zastrow, a senior from Overland Park. "A lot of classes I'm trying to get into, you have to get permission codes for them and they're small classes and competitive."
Kim McNeley, assistant dean for student academic services for the college, said she felt the hold was the best way to catch students' attention if their graduation plans were not on track.
The holds are the college's attempt to assess and communicate students' progress and status to ensure a timely graduation. The effort is part of the University's overall
"We just want to make sure you are making those last, final decisions," McNeley

up to 24 percent of students were denied graduation because they didn't meet the degree requirements. McNeley said the number is still at about 18 percent despite increased communication efforts through e-mail to encourage students to do an early audit the se-
goal to increase graduation rates. It's also the college's response to the overwhelmingly high percent of students being denied graduation over the last several years.
"We've had really disappointing graduation numbers," McNeley said.
McNeley said that in the past,

mester before graduation.
Administrators have said they hope the status check with graduation advisers will lower those numbers.
Students who received the hold were sent an e-mail notifying them of an academic notice available at the kyou portal. Students then are required to complete a survey as the first step in getting the hold re-
"If we're sharing in this responsibil
ity, we can't keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome," McNeyle said.
If there are any hours that didn't transfer or numbers that don't match up, students will be alerted that they may not graduate as expected.
Out of about 2700 holds, 1300 students have responded. McNeyley said 400 of those students have needed appointments with graduation advisors.
A few weeks ago, Josh Finnicum received the notification for the hold and said it hasn't really affected his enrollment.
moved. The survey walks students through a review of their ARTS form.
"Overall, it's not bad," Finnicum said. "It's just kind of a pain in the ass and more to deal with."
Finnicum, a senior from Omaha, Neb., did have to make an appointment to get the hold removed.
Lauren McEnaney, a graduate advisor, said she hasn't heard of any problems and most of the students she has met with have been appreciative.

Students report a man masturbating
Two students reported to the KU Public Safety Office at about 2 p.m. Monday that a man was looking at sexually explicit websites and masturbating in a computer lab on the fourth floor of Watson Library.
Two friends, Dylan Kingsley, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and Emily Preheim, a junior from Overland Park, were using the lab at the same time as the man.
Kingsley said she was sitting with her back turned to the man and her friend, Preheim, was
sitting on the computer next to him. Preheim and the man were separated by a pillar.
"I turn to look at her, and I see that a kid's looking at porn," Kingsley said. "Right next to her"
Kingsley said she called Preheim to tell her. They used calls and texts to discuss what the man was doing, and what they should do next.
Sgt. Gary Wieden, shift commander of the Public Safety Office, and Capt. Schuyler Bailey, its spokesperson, declined to comment on the case.

Man who reported faux pot may face criminal charges
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man called 911 to complain about some terrible marijuana he had just purchased, which turned out to be something other than pot.
Police say the man told officers he bought the substance earlier that day and that "it was nasty" when he smoked it.
police didn't say what Sgt. Wayne Brown tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the incident remains under investigation. The man could face a charge of possessing a counterfeit controlled substance.

Father of missing girl joins his wife in jail for suspected murder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HICKORY, N.C. — The father of a missing 10-year-old disabled girl was arrested Monday on several charges unrelated to the girl's disappearance, joining his wife who has been in custody for two weeks as investigators unsuccessfully searched wooded areas and a landfill.
because of both tasks.
Her father, Adam Baker, 33, is facing one count each of assault with a deadly weapon and failure to return rental property; two counts of communicating threats and five counts of writing worthless checks.
Police believe Zahra Baker, who was reported missing Oct. 9, is dead. She uses hearing aids and has a prosthetic leg because of bone cancer.
the timing of his arrest raises questions because the charges against him were filed over the last few months. Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins had said authorities delayed taking action because he was cooperating with police.
It was unclear if he was still cooperat ing. A telephone message left for Adkins was not immediately returned.
Baker, who is from Australia, was being held in a western North Carolina jail on $7,000 bond, Hickory police spokeswoman Libby Grigg said. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
The girl's stepmother, Elisa Baker, is at the same jail, facing charges including obstruction of justice. Police said she
admitted writing a bogus ransom note found at the scene of a fire in the family's back yard on the day Zahra was reported missing.
Police have said they think someone killed the girl, but have not found her body and haven't charged anyone with killing her. A three-day search of a nearby landfill last week failed to turn up any evidence.
Police had been looking for a mattress that belonged to Zahra that may have been disposed of in the days before her disappearance was reported.

HOLD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
For the 700 students who did not need appointment,s,the hold was removed within 48 hours.
"Maybe as enrollment dates open they may be more upset that they can't meet their enrollment date," McEnaney said. "But most of the time they're like 'Wow, I didn't know those hours didn't transfer.'"
Kevin Neslage, a senior from Wichita, said he took the survey and got the hold removed before his enrollment times.
Neslage said it's a little extra hassle for students who are on track, but he personally experienced no problems. Neslage said he does believe it is more of the students' responsibility to figure these kinds of things out for themselves.
1400 students still need to take the survey.
"We don't want to postpone their enrollment," McNeley said. "All of the effort is to get students moving and making sure that everyone is making the best, timely decisions."

Potter Lake's waters hid mysterious time capsule
CAMPUS
BY KATIE PRIEBE
kpribe@kansan.com
It's not determined how long the memories have been at the bottom of Potter Lake on campus, but a time capsule was one of many items discovered during this year's dredging. So far, the only clues to the identities of the capsule's creators are the names "James," "Barb" and "Allison," which were written on photographs included within the tube.
Management team, also included a bottle of wine, letters and a reference to a favorite bartender at G. Willikers Bar. All the items were found inside a tube on the East side of the lake. This is the only recorded time capsule found in Potter's Lake.
The time capsule, found by the Design and Construction
Jim Modig, Director of Design and Construction Management, said he hoped to discover more information about the time capsule.
"We know that the Alumni Association is going to be putting out an article that will get national distribution," Modig
said. "It will be interesting to see if the people who were associated with putting the time capsule get in contact the University."
Modig said there is still one piece left to recover from the time capsule. They plan on recovering the piece once the lake's debris settles. It's assumed that James, Barb and Alison are names of former KU students. It's also assumed that capsule was placed sometime between Potter Lake's last dredging in 1957 and now.

Healthier option keep coffee black
BY JUSTINE PATTON ipatton@kansan.com
Many students turn to hot, steamy coffee drinks to warm them up and wake them up during chilly fall mornings. But these yummy drinks may do more than give an energy boost — they can also add hundreds of calories to someone's diet before it's even time for breakfast. A peppermint white chocolate mocha from Starbucks, for example, has 470 calories in it.
Harmon said he pays attention to the number of calories in his daily coffee drinks, and that's why his drink of choice is usually black coffee or a latte. An 8-ounce cup of black coffee is only about 2 calories and actually contains some health benefits. Ann Chapman, the dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the caffeine in coffee could increase alertness. Also, researchers have found the antioxidants in the beverage may actually be good for the heart.
Chance Harmon, a senior from Caney, said he drinks coffee almost every day.
"I like the taste of it. I grew up on it, and, you know, it gives you that extra little jolt in the morning." Harmon said.
Black coffee is also cheaper than most flavored coffee drinks. However, not everyone is a fan of a straight cup of jo'.
Milton's employee Vanessa Peza said students could enjoy a flavored drink and reduce calories at the same time. Generally, the fewer ingredients the baristas add to the coffee, the fewer calories.
Chapman also said ordering drinks with nonfat milk could not only lower fat intake but add calcium to students' diets as well. Chapman said this was important because many college students fail to get enough calcium each day.
"Not adding a lot of flavors is going to be more beneficial to your waistline," Peza said.
"A skinny latte has about 200 milligrams of calcium," Chapman said. "That's not as much as a cup of milk, but it's pretty close."
Chapman also suggested not adding extra creamers to the drink after it's made and saying "no" to whipped cream.

Familiar formula for Swift album
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Three albums into her wildly popular, multi-platinum and globally successful career, Taylor Swift is still settling scores.
Either the 20-year-old singer-songwriter is terrificly thin-skinned or can't bring herself to write about anything aside from her romantic travails, but the "woman scorned" shitk is becoming quite tiresome.
With every new Swift song, a breathless round of speculation — Who incurred her wrath? Will she name names? How many fellas have really wronged her? — obsures the truth about Taylor.
While she has an admitted knack for melody and, very infrequently, a finely wrought turn of phrase suggesting depth beyond boy-hating, Swift has been turning out variations on the same theme (teenage love soured by melodrama) that first catapulted her to fame. "Speak Now," her latest studio effort, is no different.
The latest single, "Dear John," has already set tabloid tongues wagging, as it's a song supposedly about her brief dalliance with Mr. Sexual Napalm himself, John Mayer, whose most clever flourish — vaguely bluesy guitar licks aping Mayer's penchant for same — isn't lyrical.

Personal awareness, lighting both needed
For years the University and the city have talked about increasing lighting in oatric areas, and although

In a University Campus Plan released in
The university and the city have a lot of things to worry about and budget for,but student safety should not be pushed down on the list.
1997, it was proposed to add "the extension of improved lighting to include routes taken by pedestrians traveling to and from campus, perhaps in cooperation with the
student hang outs such as The Wheel and The Hawk, the dorms and other more better lit areas should not be the site of pedestrian-car injuries, such as the incident last week where a student
was struck by a car on Daisy Hill. Student safety is not just at the hands of officials and planners. If there are crosswalks, pedestrians need to use them and motorists
need to have extra caution around them. With people constantly walking around and popping out of seemingly nowhere on Daisy Hill and around the bars, inattentive driving and walking will inevitably get someone hurt.
CARTOON
If you are driving around these known dangerous areas, slow down and look around, if you are walking, (or stumbling as the case may be) make sure to be aware that you can't always be seen, especially at night. We are too young to have our lives ruined by stupid decisions.
Although the University and the city need to do what they can to increase student safety, ultimately it is the students' responsibility to watch out and make good decisions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Article portrayed city code, rental situations in unfair light
I won't pretend that I wasn't horrified by the article that appeared in The Kansan about my rental business. Publishing an article without making attempts to contact the person whom the article concerns is unprofessional. The article is riddled with misleading and downright incorrect information.
A security deposit is certainly not a "13th month's rent." Security deposits, as my leases state, are used to clean and repair dirty, damaged houses. Unfortunately for both Mr. Markowitz and myself, he and his housemates left his house in a truly filthy state when they moved out at the end of the rental year. It was not just a few dust balls, it was a year's worth of ingrained dirt, including an unplugged fridge in the basement full of rotting meat and maggot*
from some of the claims made in The Kansan's article. In fact, we put a great deal of time, effort and money into making sure the houses stay well cared for and remain in good condition. Why else would two-thirds of our houses be already rented in advance for next year?
Believe me, I would much prefer to have given Markowitz back his money, and not had to spend any of his security deposit on paying people to clean fifth. When renters leave their houses in good shape and we don't have to spend time and energy on cleaning them, to no profit of our own, everyone is much happier. At the beginning of the contract, our representative will walk renters through a house, and we (reenter and landlord) make a list of its condition. On return the house is expected to be in the same clean condition, with no more than normal living wear and tear.
Quotes attributed to Markowitz that the City of Lawrence inspector Mr. Jimenez found only three occupants at 1736 Louisiana St. are incorrect. What Mr. Jimenez, who said he was doing a safety inspection (and found no safety violations) discovered in 2008 was a second dwelling unit, with a kitchen. Single-family zoning allows three occupants per dwelling unit. This would be a total of six individuals in the case of 1736 Louisiana St. No statement was made about how many people were living in the structure. What was acknowledged during that inspection was that the house had more than three unrelated persons living there. After inspecting the second unit, which appeared "vintage" and original, Mr. Jimenez said that if it could be proved that the second dwelling unit was legally allowed, then 1736 Louisiana St. had the rights of a legally non-conforming property in a single family zoned area.
Our rentals are a very far cry
Currently, the city attorney is reviewing the historic evidence of a multiple family legally conforming house in the 1940s up until today. A building permit issued by the City of Lawrence in 1963 for a
second dwellings unit is on file as a public record.
The law affirms the right of a property to be "grandfathered" if its use predates zoning. A "grandfather" clause is an exception that allows an old rule to continue to apply to some existing situations, when a new rule will apply to all future situations. The City cannot enforce a code retroactually. The Lawrence Land Development Code (effective July 1, 2006) states that: "...all rights to continuance, maintenance, or repair of the nonconforming use shall be allowed regardless of registration as a nonconforming use".
And just in case anyone is wondering, because the reporter chose to leave it out, the bat was promptly removed from the house (and relocated to a safe place) within half an hour of the first phone call.

CIVIL LIBERTIES
Question 2 can protect against unfair language
In the upcoming election, citizens will vote on a new law (question 2)
referendum (question 2) to remove the language in the state constitution that allows legislation denying voting rights to a person based on a diagnosis of mental illness.
A vote of "yes" on this referendum, question 2, is a step toward getting rid of the stigma associated with mental illness.
This clause does not define mental illness any further than those words. As such a broad term, it could encompass illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The current language, which includes these illnesses, is a social injustice to those who have mental disorders but are still functioning members of society.
Any such legislation would infringe on the civil rights of many Kansas residents who are fully able to participate in elections. The fact that this encroachment is expressly permissible by the constitution is worrisome at best.
Question 2 is a nonpartisan issue; gubernatorial candidates Sam Brownback and Tom Holland have both endorsed the amendment striking the words "mental illness" from Article 5, Section 2.
The above mentioned are very common disorders. The Protect Voting Rights website (the campaign endorsing a vote of "yes" on question 2) says that one in five Kansas residents suffer from a mental illness.
ights for All
The constitution does not provide the legislature the right to restrict voting based on, say, I.Q. or a test on knowledge of current issues. The idea that mental health is singled out is a significant elucidation of the societal attitude toward these disorders.
BY KELLY COSBY
kcosby@kansan.com
Most obviously, the constitutional provision
discriminates against people based on a health diagnosis. Equally important, though, is the text's reinforcement of the negative connotation associated with mental illness.
The text of this clause groups together criminals and the mentally ill, as if those with mental illnesses have committed a crime against the state. This exclusion from voting could be viewed as a type of "punishment," further perpetuating the stigma that comes with mental illness.
Kansan editor-in-chief Alex Garrison recently wrote a poignant opinion piece urging everyone to recognize the struggles endured by those suffering from mental illness and to treat them with respect and consideration. I, too, believe that, as Garrison pointed out, an open discussion will bring about positive change in dialogues on mental health.
Another way is to acknowledge that those dealing with illnesses such as PTSD or ADD are capable individuals, just like everyone else, and are adequately competent to exercise the right to vote.
This referendum can and should serve as a vehicle for initiating conversations about mental illness. We should take this as an opportunity to reflect on how we view mental disorders and what we can do to help those dealing with them.

An editorial that appeared in the Oct. 20 edition of The Kansan, "Hazing code needs more clarity"/insuited that an investigation into possible hazing at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity following the death of KU student Jason Wren in March 2009 was not conducted by the University. However, according to Marles Roney, Vice Provost for Student Success, interviews with residents were conducted after the death to determine if hazing was involved. No evidence of hazing was found.
personally I think a large part of sexual "orientation" revolves around culture. Change the culture, and you change the norms. For instance, if you examine prisons or other places with all male or all-female populations, you will see homosexuality rates skyrocket. Clearly, that is not a case of being "born" one way, but "raised" a certain way due to culture - and when that changes, so can lots of things."

Class for casual Spanish learners offered at local church
BY SARA SNEATH editor@kansan.com
With an ever-growing number of Spanish speakers in the United States, some students wonder why the Spanish Department does not offer a Spanish minor. But a local community church has stepped in to fill the gap.
Twice a week, budding Spanish speakers of all ages gather in a classroom at Plymouth Community Church, 925 Vermont St., to learn and practice the second-most commonly spoken language in the United States.
Last year, Plymouth Church started offering English classes
aimed at the Spanish speaking community. Yet what they found was an equal number of English
speakers wanting to learn Spanish.
Westlander, the class coordinator, said many people have been interested in the classes.
"There are people from all

people from over - church members, community members, students and retirees," she said.
LIZ WESTLANDER Class Coordinator
The class is now in its sec-
level.
According to KU Spanish and Portuguese advising specialist Britta Ernst, the Spanish department has never offered a minor nor does it intend to soon.
Department chair Stuart Day said that the department did not have sufficient resources right now to offer a Spanish minor.
While there are many creative ways for personal practice such as reading children's books in Spanish, watching films with Spanish subtitles and listening to Spanish radio — there are fewer options for conversational practice, especially for those with shallow pockets.
For students who want to learn Spanish without majoring in it, Plymouth's classes are a viable option. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday classes focus on grammar and vocabulary and Thursday classes focus on conversations with a native Spanish speaker. Plymouth asks for a $35
to $50 donation for 18 classes and members are welcome to start and stop at any time during the session.

Canadian terrorist leader receives 16-year sentence
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRAMPTON, Ontario — The ringleader of a homegrown terrorist group was sentenced Monday to 16 years in prison for leading a terror cell plotting to attack Canada's Parliament buildings, electrical grids and nuclear stations.
Fahim Ahmad had pleaded guilty in May mid-trial to participating in a terrorist group, importing firearms and instructing his co-accused to carry out an activity for a terrorist group.
Ahmad and 17 others were arrested and charged with terrorism offenses in 2006. The group became known as the Toronto 18.
The court heard that Ahmad, 26, was the leader of a terror cell and held two training camps to assess his recruits' suitability. Under his direction, plans were made to attack nuclear stations
and storm Parliament, taking politicians hostage until Canada gave in to his demands to pull troops from Afghanistan.
Ontario Superior Court of Justice Fletcher Dawson ruled that even though Ahmad was the leader of the plot and the person who tried to put together an al-Qaidatype cell, he was not effective at it and was never close to actually carrying out any of his threatened attacks.
Dawson awarded Ahmad double credit for the four years he has already spent in custody, meaning the justice system will consider he has already served more than eight years of his sentence. He will be eligible for parole in another 3 1/2 years.
In his reasons for the sentence, Ontario Superior Court of Justice Fletcher Dawson said he took into account Ahmad has no previous criminal record, and shows remorse.
"I am not dealing with someone who remains openly defiant," Dawson said. "Perhaps I'm only optimistic, but I see prospects of rehabilitation."
Ahmad was emotionless as the judge read his decision, but later turned around to smile at supporters gathered in the courtroom. He declined to say anything before being sentenced.
The prosecution had suggested 18 years to life in prison, while the defense asked for about 12 years.
Outside the Brampton, Ontario courtroom, prosecution lawyer Croft Michaelson said he was pleased with the sentence. "We've sent out a strong signal to the community that these type of offenses will not be tolerated in Canada, and it reflects the seriousness of the crime," he said.

Ninja-inspired murder suspect on trial for leading attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Jury selection began Monday in the trial of a karate instructor charged with leading a group of armed men dressed as ninjas in robbing the home of a wealthy couple and killing the pair as their nine special-needs children cowered or slept nearby.
Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr., 36, could get the death penalty if convicted of organizing the break-in at Atyrd and Melanie Billings' home in a rural area near Pensacola on the night of July 9, 2009.
Gonzalez wore arm and leg chains as he was brought into the court Monday morning. His defense attorneys asked that their desks be moved so that the roughly 200 potential jurors would not see the chains. Sheriff's deputies later removed the his wrist chains. Gonzalez has also been charged with attacking another inmate in jail with a pencil.
to steal a cash-filled safe. Their adopted children were not physically harmed in the attack.
Seven co-defendants have been charged with first-degree murder. Several could testify against Gonzalez and name him as the man who fatally shot Byrd Billings and his wife.
Defense attorneys on Monday told potential jurors that Gonzalez was a married father of six and a longtime karate instructor who grew up learning martial arts at a karate studio owned by his stepfather and mother.
Several potential jurors said they did not feel comfortable deciding if Gonzalez should live or die. One man told the court that he felt strongly the death penalty was a waste of taxpayers' money because of the lengthy appeal process.
and Walton counties before considering relocating the trial.
Among the evidence expected to be submitted at the two-week trial is surveillance video taken from the sprawling home the night of the killings. The shadowy, timelapse video shows armed intruders dressed in black barging into the couple's living room. Melanie Billings is seen protectively grabbing what appears to be a child.
The Billinges were fatally shot in their bedroom, where there were no video cameras. A safe that was taken from the family's home contained nothing of value, but a second safe that wasn't stolen had $164,000 in cash, court records show.

According to autopsy reports, Melanie Billings, 43, was shot twice in her chest, and in the face and head. Byrd Billings, 66, was shot multiple times in the head and legs.
In his initial interview with investigators, Gonzalez suggested a group of car dealers with a grudge against Byrd Billings wanted him "whacked."
The crime scene photos document dozens of bullet holes throughout the living room and bedroom and a trail of blood along the living room floor.
Gonzalez also told investigators that he and one of Byrd Billings' grown sons, Justin, had worked together as "enforcers" to get payments from people who had gotten behind. His attorney, John Jay Gontarek, did not return calls seeking comment.
The nine children in the home, all between the ages of 4 and 11 at the time of break-in, have varying special needs ranging from Down syndrome to fetal alcohol syndrome and autism.
Previously released records of interviews by sheriff's investigators show that one child told investigators that he heard a knock on the door and that "two bad men" said. "You're going to die, one, two, three" and then, "no way, no way."
The silent surveillance video footage from the children's bedrooms shows two of children remaining still during the breakin. A third child is in her bedroom alone when the attackers arrive, and their van can be seen through her window. The girl walks to the window and appears to watch the men enter. The girl then gets back
in the bed and pulls the covers around her. She gets up a second time before returning to bed and putting her head on the pillow as the tape ends.
The records show that child was sleeping in his parents' bed when they were killed.
The Billingses' adult daughter told Winfrey that she and her husband are raising the children in the home where their parents died.

Jayhawks fall 2-1 in overtime after leading game during the first half
BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com
Kansas ended its Big 12 play yesterday by losing to Colorado 2-1 in overtime. Kansas led from the start, scoring the fastest goal in team history. Senior Kaitlyn
Cunningham assisted freshman Caroline Kastor, who recorded her third goal of the year in just 19 seconds of play. Cunningham gave Kastor a long pass down the right side of the field off of the kickoff and Kastor was able to beat the goalkeeper.
Later in the half, Kansas let a good opportunity slip by when sophomore Whitney Berry was fouled in the penalty box. Berry's penalty kick was blocked by the Colorado goalie to keep the Buffaloes within one goal.
Kansas lead at half 1-0, but
Colorado tied the game after a scramble in front of the net during the 75th minute.
Two minutes and 55 seconds into overtime, Colorado's Anne Stuller placed a shot in the top right corner of the net from 18 yards away to give Colorado its
third win in Big 12 play.
Sophomore Kat Liebetrau grabbed 11 saves to bring her season total to 114, the fourth-most in team history.

Quarterback is ready for a comeback
MCCLATCHY-TRIRUNE
SEATTLE — There remain a lot of lingering questions about what's in the future for the Washington Huskies as they pick up the pieces after Saturday's 44-14 loss to Arizona.
What's not in doubt is whether quarterback Jake Locker will see the field this upcoming Saturday when Stanford comes to Husky Stadium.
"I'll be able to play" the quarterback said confidently when he met
with the media Monday.
Locker later took part in much of Monday's non-contract practice, after which Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said on his radio show that Locker looked better than he had the previous two Mondays.
Locker admitted Monday that his ribs are "pretty sore," an injury the Huskies tried to keep quiet last week. For the second straight week last week, Locker was limited in practice, participating fully only on Thursday.
Locker is suffering from a thigh bruise suffered against Arizona State, and sore ribs incurred against Oregon State. While there has been speculation he may have at least one broken rib, Sarkisian denied that, saying flatly "no," when asked that question. Whatever the case,
Sarkisian said he hopes Locker will be able to do more this week.
"He was better than he was last week," Sarkisian said before practice of how Locker came out of the game. "Hopefully we foresee him practicing earlier in the week than he did last week to get him a few more reps."

Locker said he also hoped to do more this week, saying "I'll just take it day to day."
Indeed, Locker led the Huskies on two scoring drives in the first 22 minutes of the game but simply couldn't keep up with Arizona's offensive onslaught as the Wildcats gained 356 yards in the first half.
Locker said he was "close to 90 percent" during the Arizona game, and that the only real limitation was running the ball, specifically up the middle, where he would be more prone to hits.
Still, Locker's injuries have led some to wonder if the Huskies wouldn't be better off going with backup Keith Price, a redshirt freshman, if Locker remained limited.
Sarkisian said the injuries contained what the Huskies could do, however, though he added "that's not the reason we lost the game."
Sarkesian said simply "no," that for now, Washington's best chances rest with Locker at quarterback.
The injuries, however, have helped contribute to a senior season that so far hasn't developed quite the way anyone envisioned when Locker decided in December to return.
UW is fighting just to stay alive for a bowl berth at 3-4 and now facing Stanford and Oregon — maybe the two best teams in the Pac-10 — the next two weeks.
Locker ranks eight in the Pac10 in passing efficiency in the at 131.4 per game.

The kickoff time is 1 p.m.at Memorial Stadium, the first home afternoon kickoff of the season.
The Jayhawks go to Ames, Iowa Saturday to play Iowa State. It is also a 1 p.m. kickoff and won't be televised.

Early season hope disappoints
MORNING BREW
I rescued underneath the tree searching for any tags that read "To: Jackson." I scanned the presents, looking for a particular shape that would fit the gift I was looking for. My eyes flew from one box to the next, and finally, there it was. I picked up the package and started feeling it to make sure it was what I was hoping for, a Brian Urlacher jersey. After closely examining the package, I was positive on Christmas morning I would be donning a No. 54 jersey. I went around for the next couple weeks telling my friends how psyched I was that I was going to get the jersey I wanted.
Christmas morning came and I was excited, to say the least. After watching everyone else open presents, it was finally my turn to open my soon-to-be prized possession.
I grasped the perfectly wrapped gift and tore the paper to shreds to reveal what I had been waiting weeks to see. Sweaters?
My parents had given me two sweaters that cruelly felt like a jersey when wrapped. I threw on my best fake smile and said, "Thanks," although I would have liked to say a lot of other words.

I feel like this year Kansas football has given me sweaters. I would have never expected a jersey on Christmas morning, if it would have been wrapped in a box and disguised instead of just

wrapped in wrapping paper. I could have guessed, but I wouldn't have had the same hope.
Likewise, with a new coach and a dismal season last year, I didn't expect a great season from Kansas in football this year, especially after the first game. However, the Jayhawks had to follow that humiliating loss with a win over a ranked team. They had to win a game that resulted in me, and most of the student body, storming the field; a win that truly sparked an excitement in me for the football team that wasn't there before.
The Kansas football players did something by upsetting Georgia Tech that they can't take back: they gave fans hope. By showing how hard, and at times how well they can play, Kansas gave the fans foolish hope that had everyone
remembering when the Jayhawks made their storied run to the Orange Bowl.
THE
MORNING
BREW
So there was the hope, sitting underneath the tree, waiting for conference play. Finally the day came, a road game against Baylor for a Kansas team still trying to earn respect. I think we all know how the rest of the story goes, so I'd rather not go into details
Kansas followed that with uninspiring performances against rival Kansas State and Big 12 foe Texas A&M. The illogical hope that Kansas will perform as well as they did in week two still enters my mind each week, no matter how hard I try to rationalize with it. For some reason, even though I know the odds are stacked against the Jayhawks, this hope makes me think one of these games they will return to their
electrifying form and win a Big 12 game. By knocking off Georgia Tech early in the season, the players gave the fans a standard to hold the team up to, one that was too high, and that they have failed to achieve.
At least for now, this hope is still stuck in my head. However, if Kansas doesn't start competing, I wonder how long the student body and myself will still believe that the magic from that second game can come back to Memorial Stadium. And if it can, how long will we have to wait?

Questions arise for World Series
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
So hot youd swear he had been traded to the Texas Rangers.
How hot has Cody Ross been?
In a postseason built around outstanding pitching performances, the Rangers have been the only team to consistently put runs on the board. They turned in the only double-digit performance of these playoffs in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series and were held under five runs only three times — twice by Tampa Bay in the division series and once by the Yankees in the ALCS.
Given the Giants' trouble scoring, the Rangers may very well celebrate a championship on home soil in Game 5 of the Series. But the Giants get the edge if their pitchers continue getting more than 80 percent of the big outs, forcing Texas into an extended series full of the low-scoring, tense games that have replaced Rice-A-Roni as the
San Francisco treat.
No question will be bigger in the World Series than this one: Can the best pitching staff stop the best lineup?
Among the other questions awaiting answers:
Tim Lincecum ... or Cliff Lee?
The Yankees won the 2009 World Series despite losing twice to Rangers ace Cliff Lee, then with the Phillies. They kept him from completely making CC Sabathia a non-factor by using Sabathia on short rest in Game 4, when he beat Philadelphia's No. 4 starter Joe Blanton. Neither Lee nor Lincecum have much of a history working on short rest, so we could get a second head-to-head meeting in Game 5. Lee is auditioning for a run at a Sabathia-sized contract in free agency and the ring that his Philadelphia teammates failed to get him last year. Losing twice to a guy who looks like he's trying to find the local skateboarding park would sting.
Who does the Molina factor
favor?
San Francisco catcher Buster Posey probably will win the National League Rookie of the Year award and could get an MVP vote or two, but the Giants have left themselves Molina-free, which could be a mistake. Texas acquired catcher Bengie Molina from San Francisco on July 1 and now hopes to enjoy the traditional Molina World Series success. Teams with one of the three Molina brothers — Bengie, Yadier and Jose — have won three World Series in four tries, the only unsuccessful trip for a Molina coming for Yadier with the 2004 Cardinals, Yadier and Jose have two World Series rings between them; Bengie is trying to pick up his second.
ed to have active are a career 0-for-19 against Wilson. Their edge could be hitting coach Clint Hurdle, who has done a great job preparing the Texans to face specific pitchers.
This is a definite yes. San Francisco closer Brian Wilson is 5-for-5 in save situations in the playoffs, and Texas doesn't have a player who has had a hit off him. The guys the Rangers are expect-
Should Texas fear "The Beard"?
Will tradition survive Texas?
Win tradition surrive Teams. There are no cheerleaders dancing atop the dugouts, but still there a feeling of an NFL-style production at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington — most notably when flag-waving team employees race across the center-field berm after runs score. By contrast, AT&T Park is the hippest place in the majors.
Ross, fact or fiction?
Claimed on waivers from Florida on Aug. 22, the Giants seemed to be as interested in blocking San Diego from adding Ross to its lineup. They probably wouldn't have gotten past Atlanta and Philadelphia without him, however, as he's hit. 324 with four home runs and eight RBIs in eight games.

ROLE PLAY
Opurum is handed reins as defensive end
After starting the season at linebacker, Toben Opurum's skills are deemed most beneficial at defensive end
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
When deciding on where to play college football, sophomore Toben Opurum had the pick of the litter.
The former high school star from Plano, Texas was courted by football powers like Nebraska, Florida, and Notre Dame, among others throughout his high school career. Opurum was rated by Rivals.com as the third best fullback in Texas in 2009, and coaches Urban Meyer and Bo Pelini wanted the 6'2, 229 pound recruit in their backfields. There was just one problem. Opurum wanted to play running back at the next level. When former Kansas coach Mark Mangino offered him a spot at running back, Opurum signed his letter of intent and traveled to Lawrence, where he led the team with 554 rushing yards while adding 9 touchdowns last year as a freshman.

When Mangino was fired and Turner Gill took over last December, the new coaching staff emphasized speed at the running back position, and Opurum's bruising style was out of the equation.
After beginning the season at linebacker with minimal results, Opurum started at defensive end against Texas A&M Saturday. He had six tackles on the night, and Gill told reporters Monday that Opurum is staying put.
"He's definitely going to stay at the defensive end position. We decided last week that that's what his best asset is."
Opurum didn't get to Texas A&M quarterbacks jerrod Johnson
or Ryan Tannnehill, but Gill said he liked what he saw and his speed was a nice change of pace for the Kansas defense, who only has six sacks on the season.
the season.
Now at his third position in less than a year, Opurum sees his newest role as pass rusher as an opportunity to help the struggling Kansas defense.
defense.
"The coaches knew what they were doing and they are putting me in a position that I can better help my team," Opurum said.
The defense needs all the help they can get at this point. The Jayhawks are currently last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, turnover margin, and sacks. Opurum's speed on the edge was a factor in the position change, as coaches are trying to generate pressure on the quarterback.
Sophomore defensive to Tenb Oburum, jumps and tips a ball thrown by Texas A&M quarterback Jarrod Johnson Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Opurum, who made the move from running back to linebacker before the season, started at defensive end for the first time in his career Saturday. He finished the game with six tackles, five of those being assists.
quarterback. "He has good quickness and he'll continue to get better." Gill said of Opurum. "He definitely gives more opportunities to hit the quarterback a few more times."
With virtually no pressure on opposing quarterbacks thus far in the season, teams have had plenty of time to carve up the Kansas secondary. Big 12 QBs have had even more success, put up a combined 159 points against the Jayhawks the first three conference games.
Following the Texas A&M loss, Opurum acknowledged he still had a lot to learn on the defensive side of the ball.
"I think I have improved a lot but I still have a lot of work to put in to help my team."

ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
The men's golf team finished the first day of the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate tied for fifth place. The Jayhawks shot 295 in their first round Monday morning and 290 in the second round to put them at 17 over par for the tournament, tied with Boise State University.
Sophomore Alex Gutesha led the Jayhawks. Gutesha shot one over par for 72 Monday morning before he came back in the afternoon and shot a one under par for 70 to put him at even par for the day and tied for sixth place.
"He played really solid; really good day ball striking for him," coach Kit Grove said. "Obviously that's an advantage under hard conditions if you're hitting it solid and able to control the golf ball. A well struck shot is not affected as much by the wind as a mis-struck shot."
Senior Nate Barbee and sophomore Chris Gilbert finished the day at six over par. Barbee opened up with a 79 before shooting a 69 in the afternoon. Gilbert opened with a 75 before firing a 73 in the afternoon. Barbee and Gilbert are tied for 25th place.
"It was just kind of a strange morning for [Nate], but I'm proud of him for being able to fight through that and put together a really nice round in the afternoon," Grove said.
Senior Jeff Bell finished
the first day tied for 46th place. Bell opened up with a 74 before coming into the house in the afternoon with a 78. Junior Doug Quinones also opened up his day with a three-over-par 74. He came back in the afternoon with an 80 to put him in a tie for 60th place.
"Doug was actually doing well and then he made a triple late in his round and a quad on his last hole of the day," Grove said. "He ended up shooting 80 but he had two complete blow-up holes late in his round which is frustrating because he probably played the caliber where he could have shot 74 or five just as easily as he shot an 80."
COMMENTARY
Host New Mexico State finished day one in first place, shooting 574 to put them at six over par for the tournament. Timothy Madigan led the Aggies, shooting an eight-underpar 63 Monday morning. Madigan is six under for the tournament and has a two-stroke lead. Washington State is one stroke behind the Aggies and is in second place. UNLV is in third place at nine over par, Idaho is in fourth at 14 over.
The final round of the tournament will begin at 9 a.m. It is the final round of the Jayhawks' 2010 fall schedule.

Selby faces two options this spring
PETER TUBBLE
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDKbasketball
Josh Selby is running out of time. Not at Kansas He can
Not at Kansas. He can wait all year at Kansas. He's got a full ride. He's cleared to do everything but play in games.
But he's got another option. Selby is easily talented enough to make a living overseas for a year if he so chooses. Brandon Jennings, the No. 4 recruit in the class of 2009, already blazed that trail when he failed to make grades and signed on with an Italian team for a season.
All he did when he made it back stateside? Dazzle the NBA world with one of the best opening months any rookie has ever had. He finished third in Rookie of the Year voting.
Here's what Selby's two choices entail:
First, he can stay at Kansas and risk the wrath of the NCAA. If they can find any wrongdoing on his behalf, he could be out for the entire season. He'll still have a scholarship, but he may never be able to play basketball at Kansas.
If he's cleared, though, Selby becomes an immediate rock star on campus (not that he isn't already). He will undoubtedly be the starting point guard for the layhawks, and he will more than likely be a star.
His second option involves infinitely less fanfare. He'll be just another face in the crowd in Europe. Jennings, who blogged often during his Italian season, constantly noted how he was not celebrated, how he lived in a small apartment, and how the pay was good but the lifestyle lacked the opulence of the American sports superstar's. He averaged 17 minutes and 5.5 points per game off the bench, far from being a star.
Fans will love him, students will love him and he'll get smiles everywhere he goes on campus. If the NBA can't reach a new collective bargaining agreement and locks out the players,he'll run the town for two years.
The punch line to both options is the same. Come May, Selby becomes a lottery pick in the NBA draft, sign a contract for millions of dollars and goes on to whatever success he may have in the league.Not such a bad life.
But Selby's in a rough spot right now. As former layhawk Paul Rudd classically put it in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," though, "When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail."
Bailing, for Selby, would be Europe. But Euroleague play is already underway, and that window won't be open much longer.
Time to figure out what to do with those lemons, Josh.

COSTLY PROTECTION
Oral contraceptives pricier than in past
New federal laws and pharmaceutical business models prevent colleges from offering cheap birth control
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
Ten years ago, college women could purchase a
months worth of oral contraceptives for the price
of a Chipotle burrito — $7.
That's pocket change compared with what some women pay for oral contraceptives today. Popular brand name birth control pills such as Yaz
brand name birth control pills such as Yaz now cost patients more than $60 a month.
What's changed in the last 1 0
years. The difference lies in the federal laws regarding contraception.
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 removed college health centers ability to offer birth control pills at discounted rates. They had been able to offer the low prices for more than 20 years. Cathy Thrasher, the pharmacist in charge at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the act left that ability only to health centers that served communities with high poverty rates.
College health centers are not typically what you would call indigent care." Thrasher said. "It's true that students don't have a lot of money, but usually they have a back-up force, their parents, etetera. Usually, they are not truly impoverished."
prices, and now more than a year later. Thrasher said there had been no great move by any of them to lower their prices.
Thrasher said that the days of 87 birth control pills were probably finished and that she expected prices to keep increasing. Thrasher said the manufacturers were now more interested in spending their money on advertising and offering voucher cards rather than discounts.
Dr. Patricia Denning, the chief of staff at Watkins connected the rising costs with the large amount of profits the companies make, which include large salaries and annual bonuses for their CEOs.
Voucher cards allow a patient to receive a certain brand of birth control pills at a discounted price for a limited amount of time. When the vouchers run out, manufacturers hope that an individual will continue buying the product regardless of the increase in price.

Danielle Fuller, a junior from Olathe, takes Lutera, which is the generic form of a birth control pill called Alesse. Fuller, with the aid of her parents' insurance policy, pays only $10 a month for her birth control pills. However for a student with no insurance, Lutera costs more than $50 a month.
"I think if you're going to have a plan in life, then you have to make a decision about where you're going to spend your money." Thrasher said. "I think if you're not going to be abstinent, you need to prepare."
Despite the large price tags. Thrasher said she still thought birth control pills were worth paying for each month.
Denning agreed that there were many benefits to taking birth control pills in addition to pregnancy prevention. She said birth control pills helped minimize acne, regulated a person's menstrual cycle and lessened severe cramping as well.
back the ability to sell inexpensive contraceptives. The catch? Manufacturers can choose whether or not to offer these low prices.
Denning said the prices would continue climbing unless someone could shame the manufacturers into changing their way of thinking.
Whether a woman pays for a brand name price or a generic price really depends on her body. Thrasher said. Sometimes, a woman's body will react more favorably to a brand name contraceptive. Other times, a generic contraceptive will work.
There are some negative side effects of oral contraceptives, including dizziness; headache and nausea. More serious side effects can include weight gain and mood changes.
Thrasher said if students did not want to use oral contraceptives, alternatives included the birth control patch, NuvaRing, injections of progesterone, intrauterine devices and female condoms.

This Broadway rock musical received national acclaim in 2006 when it won eight Tony Awards and a Grammy. The popular adaptation of the 1891 Frank Wedekind play tells the story of three teenagers' self-discovery through puberty and sexual arousal in 19th century Germany
The passionate coming of age story "Spring Awakening" will show at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Lied Center.
Risqué rock musical comes to Lied Center
Parental discretion is advised for this production because of its mature content, including brief partial nudity, sexual situations and strong language.
Tim Van Leer, the executive director of the Lied Center, said in an e-mail that Spring Awakening was a powerful musical with a rock 'n' roll score that students were sure to enjoy.
One of the show's original actors, Lea Michele, now stars in Fox's television musical hit "Glee."
"Even though the setting is 19th century Germany, 'Spring Awakening' is a timeless story of self-discovery," Van Leer said.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Lied Center box office two hours before showtime. Adult tickets are selling for $42-$48 and student tickets are $21-$24.

while also engaging them in the election process.
KU collaborates on election site
With the midterm elections less than a week away, some students have been familiarizing themselves with the candidates and issues that will matter most this year. For those who haven't, the staff at the Midwest Democracy Project website wants to help out.
The website features candidate profile pages and a user-friendly section that shows where candidates stand on key issues. MDP aims to connect voters with the latest political news
The project is a collaboration of the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri and The Kansas City Star and launched last July with the support of a $100,000 grant received by the School of Journalism.The grant was used to hire recent graduates from the University for the project, as well as to fund student reporting projects and academic studies.

"We're hoping to find new online ways to engage voters, so they can be more informed while participating in their communities," said Anne Spenner, assistant
Pam Fine, professor of journalism and advisory board member for the project, helped secure the $100,000 grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. She said the project would be a precursor for national election coverage in 2012, which will be on a greater scale and attempt to capture the enthusiasm of 2008.
"It's important to give students an opportunity to get real world experience and help the news media in our region produce more and better coverage," Fine said. "This provides an opportunity for both."
In addition to the candidates and issues sections, the project features news and blog stories from around the region and nation, and allows users to engage in lively debates on major issues via comments. There is also a feature that shows candidate voting records.
"If students and journalists can get more enthusiastic about political coverage from projects like this, it will only serve the long-term interests of the public," Fine said.

Terror is in the territory with new 'Haunted Farm'
THE MAINTENANCE FAMILY
Jessica Janasz/KANSAN
BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com
Steve Cates, originally from Andover, discusses his most recent creation at his home near Clinton Lake where he runs his Haunted Farm. The Halloween event is for both kids and adults and will be open Friday and Saturday night.
It was a dark, chilly Friday night when five college-aged men walked up to the Haunted Farm. They told each other that they don't get scared. But Steve Cates, who overheard the conversation, just saw that as a challenge.
That's when Cates, owner of the Haunted Farm, got on his walkie-talkie and told his actors to give it 100 percent.
"They were running out of here crying like babies," Cates said of the formerly boastful boys.
This is the first year that Cates officially opened the Haunted Farm, 1029 N. 1156 Rd. For three years he's been scaring his neighbors and friends with witches, corpse, mad scientists, zombies and clowns in his barn. Before that, he scared trick-or-treaters with props on his front porch.
This year Cates has moved his attraction from his barn to a structure he built in his backyard. The Haunted Farm also includes a haystack maze, a vortex tunnel and cemetery.
His house is at the end of a country road and is surrounded mainly with fields. It's just 10 minutes from downtown, but it feels like the middle of nowhere. It's a long walk through a tree orchard from the maze to the cemetery.
Even in daylight, the property has a creepy feel.
But nighttime is when the show is really on. Last weekend about 200 people came to the Haunted Farm, and most of them were high school and college-aged, Cates said.
Cates' two daughters helped him to build the Haunted Farm, and they work as actors when it's open for business. Quincy, Cates' 12-year-old daughter, worked in the maze last weekend by simply sitting on hawkstacks in full makeup.
"It freaks people out if you just stare at them," Quincy said while taking a break from playing in the yard with her sister.
Quincy's young cousins and her little sister, 9-year-old Breck, haunt the graveyard.
"She says things like, 'Who dares enter my cemetery?' and then she raises my cousins from the dead — it's cute," Quincy said.
Cates' wife, who runs a salon out of their home, does most of the makeup for the actors. Quincy said she and her sister looked like characters in "The Children of the Corn."
Cates uses 10 to 15 actors, all family and friends, in the Haunted Farm. It's similar to the Kansas City haunted houses, Cates said. And he has lots of experience with that.
About 15 years ago Cates started working at the Beast and the Edge of Hell houses in downtown Kansas City. He played the old man in an upstairs room at the Beast.
"I've always enjoyed scaring people," Cates said.
That's because Cates' birthday is Oct. 30.
"It was the coolest thing to get presents one day and trick-or-treat the next." Cates said.
And Cates certainly doesn't scare easily. But he did utilize one of his few fears in the Haunted Farm: th
openness of the outdoors
"You can continuously run and there's nowhere to hide." Cates said. "In a building you could find somewhere to hide, but outside, what can you do?"
Cates plays on this fear by asking his actors to chase patrons. For inspiration, Cates asks people what their fears are and he builds props based on that. This year's theme is zombies and clowns.
Some proceeds from the Haunted Farm will go to the Lawrence Humane Society, Cates said it is an important cause to him and his family because most of their pets came from the shelter.
The rest of the proceeds will go to making the Haunted Farm better for next year when, Cates

said, he hopes to use a building on Massachusetts Street.
"The day after Halloween my mom thinks things will get back to normal, but Steve just starts working on next year," she said, calling her dad by his first name.

Kyle Flynn, a sophomore from Denver, walks down Massachusetts Street when he notices a panhandler following him. Flynn knows he has a few extra dollars in his pocket, and he feels bad that he has so much, and this man has so little. Flynn gives the man a dollar and goes into Jefferson's for dinner.

LAWRENCE
City looks for alternative to financing panhandlers
"I'd like to be optimistic about what he's going to do with that money," Flynn said. "But realistically I don't think it will be used for something good."
Downtown merchants, with help from the Lawrence City Commission, are asking patrons to stop giving spare change to panhandlers.
The Lawrence Community Shelter doesn't support panhandling either, said director Loring Henderson, but they still have a legal right to do it. If a person is a frequent panhandler or an aggressive panhandler then they may face consequences like not being allowed to stay at the shelter, Henderson said.
HOMELESSNESS IN LAWRENCE
Downtown Lawrence Inc. a non-profit organization for Lawrence's business district, started the program after hearing complaints from store patrons, said Jane Pennington, the organization's director.

The initiative instead asks patrons to give panhandlers resource cards that list local social
In 2009, the Lawrence community shelter took in 311 new guests into case management programs:
- 71 percent male, 29 percent female
- 7 percent under 19 year of age, 73 percent between 20 and 50,
20 percent over 50 years of age

Pennington said that the card, which would be about the size of a business card, would be available near the checkouts of downtown businesses. The cards would probably be available this spring, when the warm weather brings out more panhandlers.

service agencies where they can receive food, shelter, healthcare, and drug and alcohol treatment.
"Sometimes it's uncomfortable to walk down Mass Street, and it seems like lately there are more and more of them," Flynn said. "But it will make me feel better knowing I can give me something that can help them."
There are 300 to 400 homeless people living in Lawrence, Henderson said. This program is a good idea, he said, because it encourages individuals to give their time and money to agencies, not to individuals.
Henderson said that overall Lawrence is not a harsh city for
the homeless.
the homeless." "People are well meaning," Henderson said. "The Lawrence community in general is very sympathetic to the homeless."
According to Pennington, there has been an issue with panhandling in Lawrence for a long time. It was only in the last couple of years that it has been addressed.
"The money that they receive generally doesn't go to anything productive," Pennington said of panhandlers.
Henderson said there are other things you can give to the panhandlers - whether through an agency or right on the street.
"You don't have to give money to panhandlers, but understand that homelessness is not a choice." Henderson said. "Most of the people who are homeless have many complex issues, so treat them like human beings. Smile at them and look them in the eye."

Swift cuts new record with orchestra at famous studio
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Studio A at Capitol Records in Hollywood is the fabled place where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Beach Boys and other stellar names in popular music made some of their most beloved recordings over the last half century.
On an unseasonably pleasant day last summer, however, the artist sitting dead center in front of the imposing 60-channel mixing board was Taylor Swift, the erst-while teen queen of country-pop music who has dominated sales charts and captured the ears of her generation as firmly as any of her celebrated predecessors.

On the other side of the glass partition separating the control booth from the studio, leading an orchestra of 28 string players, is Paul Buckmaster, the veteran British conductor-arranger whose string arrangements contributed substantially to the sound and success of John Eldon's earliest records as well as more recent recordings by country star Tim McGraw and rock group Train.
Chapman, the producer she worked with on her multiplatinum 2006 debut album, "Taylor Swift," and its even bigger-selling 2008 follow-up, "Fearless," albums that have sold nearly 11 million copies combined.
It's the first time Swift has used an orchestra on a record, and she sounds thrilled with what she's hearing as the violinists, violists and cellists bow edy accents and dramatic countermelodies on two tracks — "Haunted" and "Back to December" — from her third album, "Speak Now," released Monday worldwide.

LIFE EXPERIENCE
Low-wage work dreary, but helps build character
I attended "Confessions of a Recruiting Director" with career expert Brad Karsh a few weeks ago because I was desperate for resume advice in panic of approaching summer internship application deadlines.
According to Karsh, if a job or extracurricular activity wasn't an award-winning leadership experience pertaining to the job you are applying for it is best to only briefly mention it in a single bullet point or don't mention it at all in your resume.
After listening to Karsh's do's and don'ts of resume writing, I quickly decided it was time to clean up my resume. As I deleted my high school jobs off my resume, I couldn't help but wonder if those two years of experience were actually worth it.
The money earned from those near minimum-wage jobs was certainly all blown on ridiculous teenage garbage (like Hollister shirts that now collect dust in my closet at my parents) and the experience doesn't add anything to the resume of my future.
Take, for instance, my job as a "safari guide" (also known to common folk as a hostess) at Rainforest Cafe. Long story short, I had a hard few months after I quit my previous (and less degrading) job at the family bakery, my boyfriend broke up with me and most of my friends moved away to college.
But when I really think about it, those first two jobs did more for me than any job that Brad Karsh would consider to be resume-worthy.

Texts in the City
BY MANDY MATNEY
But shortly after I was forced to wear the Steve Irwin-style uniform to work in an environment filled with demanding soccer moms, I understood why they were so desperate to hire people. But looking back, I learned a lot.
First of all, I learned the golden rule of life: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Before my time served in customer service, I never really realized the true effect a single complaint or rude remark can have.
After listening to hundreds of customer complaints and rude remarks, I've developed a remarkable skill for pretending to care and listen, smiling and nodding "yes ma'am/ sir," deep down inside. I just want to hit the customer in the head, ask where their manners were and demand an apology for treating humans with such disrespect. Turns out, this skill I perfected in my first jobs is unfortunately put to use constantly in my college life at school, work and play.
Secondly, through my first jobs I learned that it is impossible to get along with everyone although we are capable of respecting each other despite our sharp indifferences. To
say the least, Rainforest Café didn't exactly attract the type of people my stuck-up Johnson County self was used to. But I had to do what I could to get along with these people to make my paycheck.
For example, I worked with a strange man who took so much offense to the fact that I wasn't referring to the groups of people I was seating as "safaris" (as listed in our handy-dandy guides) that he told our manager and I was talked to because I was showing signs of "not taking the job seriously." I wanted to tell him he was a weirdo for being a 30-year-old host at Rainforest Cafe, but that wouldn't have helped our situation. I learned I had to treat the people I worked with the respect and decency I wanted from my coworkers in order to get through the hellish job and make the paycheck.
Finally, I learned the importance and respect of a hard-earned dollar. No feeling can replace receiving a paycheck you have put your sweat, blood and tears into.
A recent BusinessWeek article reported that only 46 percent of 16-to 24-year-olds are currently employed, which is the lowest it has been since the government starting keeping track in 1946.
Our generation needs to change this statistic and disregard previous negative beliefs of the less desirable jobs available. Low-paying jobs might not be "resume worthy", but they certainly give us a great taste of the real world and an altered, more mature sense of character.

Fraternity has changed since death
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to the editorial from October 22, "Hazing code needs more clarity," the KU chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon takes issue with the implication that there may have been hazing in the fraternity when Jason Wren was a pledge. The author stated, erroneously, that KU changed its alcohol policies, but nothing else was done in response to Jason Wren's death. However, the Lawrence Police Department and the university conducted thorough investigations. Evidence of hazing was never uncovered. Furthermore, this incident was cited in order to support the author's opinion that all hazing allegations should be enforced equally and without fail. In doing so, the author implied that the death of Jason Wren was not fully investigated and that the rules against hazing were not enforced as they should have been.
This implication is unfounded and completely false.
The KU chapter of SAE does not haze its pledges. Anything that could lead to the physical or mental harm of a pledge is counterproductive to building a brotherhood. As a result, we have no use for hazing. We want our pledges to take pride in being a member of SAE—harming them in any way makes that goal harder to achieve. While we vehemently refute the implications of the editorial; we agree that hazing allegations should be fully investigated and regulations should be equally enforced.
图
Since the death of Jason Wren, SAE has enacted sweeping changes to the rules and enforcement of house policies. Hard liquor is prohibited on the property and beer can only be consumed by members who are over the age of 21. This is in addition to the strict
enforcement of existing rules on underage drinking. On April 16, 2010, SAE held its first annual Jason Wren Initiative with the purpose of educating college students on the dangers of alcohol. SAE will continue to focus on philanthropic and educational events, just as it has done for many years. As a chapter, we have grown from our initial lack of knowledge to become fully aware of the dangers of alcohol. Hopefully we can use the tragic events of March 8, 2009, to encourage responsible drinking at KU and universities throughout the U.S. SAE hopes that the men of Phi Gamma Delta can learn and grow from their own experiences, and we wish them the best during this difficult situation.

POLITICS
Brownback needs clearer position on higher education
One can't help but wonder if Abraham Lincoln had gubernatorial
candidate Sen. Sam Brownback in mind when he said, "You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
Brownback, the Republican seen as the prohibitive favorite to claim the governor's office, has little incentive to stake out firm positions on issues the next chief executive will confront. Better to conceal from Kansans his true agenda than to say anything that may thwart his cakewalk to Cedar Crest.
Look no further than Brownback's refusal to support the Board of Regents' Kansas Commitment. As Student Senate President Michael Wade Smith told the Lawrence Journal-World, the plan represents "a much-needed and vitally important step toward re-investing in our higher education system."
The $50 million proposal would help make up the increasing cost of education since 2007, fund facility repairs, and increase efforts to recruit students to critical-needs fields.
To be sure, there's a great deal of skepticism toward increased spending during a time of budget woes. But the Commitment is just the sort of investment needed to deliver returns for students struggling to meet the ever-rising challenges of completing higher education and a state sorely in need of a vibrant economy and well-educated workforce.
State Sen. Tom Holland, Brownback's Democratic opponent, responded to Smith's plea for support of the Commitment with an emphatic endorsement. And Brownback? His campaign spokeswoman told the Journal-World that Brownback plans to "stabilize funding for higher education." I suppose that's better than the presumed alternative destabilizing state support for its universities.

the most critical issues facing the state and its universities rises to a new level of offense. It would be one thing if Brownback had countered the Regents' proposal with a plan of his own. But when pundits and prognosticators have pronounced you a lock to win the state's top job, why dabble in the details?
To be fair to the senator, he has stated his support for the University's effort to win designation as a national cancer research center. (In other news, Brownback has also come out in favor of baseball, apple pie and motherhood.)
Mario Cuomo, the former New York governor, had it right when he said that one campaigns in诗ait but governs in prose. But that axiom doesn't give politicians license to wage campaigns utterly devoid of substance.
Issues matter no more in 2010 than in any other year, but the lingering effects of the recession serve to underscore why elections matter. It's a shame, then, that so little attention has been devoted to Brownback's wishy-washiness on higher education.
Much discussion has centered on the unlikelihood of younger voters to replicate their relatively high turnout in the 2008 election, when they supported then-Sen. Barack Obama in droves. Polling supports the notion that young adults are more disengaged this year than they were two years ago. Persistently high unemployment and the inability of Obama to wave a magic wand and dispel all our national troubles largely explain this.
But the contrast in the two gubernatorial candidates' stances on higher education shows why, now as much as ever, students should make their voices heard on Nov. 2.

"Personally I think a large part of sexual "orientation" revolves around culture. Change the culture, and you change the norms. For instance, if you examine prisons or other places with all male or all-female populations, you will see homosexuality rates skyrocket. Clearly, that is not a case of being "born" one way, but "raised" a certain way due to culture - and when that changes, so can lots of things."

Students look at cause of vital aquifers water loss
RESEARCH
BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com
Here's the problem with one of the world's largest aquifers, which supplies about 70 percent of the water in Kansas: Scientists don't know much about it, like which parts of it lose water the quickest.
The High Plains Aquifer, also called the Ogallala Aquifer, is a vast layer of underground rock and sediment that holds water. It stretches from South Dakota to Texas. Water levels in some parts of it, including western Kansas, have dropped as much as 200 feet since the aquifer was first tapped into in the 1940s.
"Virtually every earth science student in the United States has been hearing for decades about the developing crisis in water supplies in the Oqallala Aquifer," said Greg Ludvigson, an associate scientist with the Kansas Geological Survey, who has been hearing about it since his education in the 1970s.
But now, recent technology and a $381,000 grant from the National Science Foundation has allowed the Survey to start working on answers. In the next few months, Survey scientists will be drilling in seven locations in southwestern
Kansas to collect samples of the aquifer sediment.
"We're looking at it from step one, the bare basics of it," said Jon Smith, assistant scientist at the Survey and principal investigator of the project.
Smith said the project is designed to help scientists understand how the aquifer's sediment is composed, how it holds water, and how different regions of the aquifer might be more or less productive.
"That piece of the puzzle isn't clear to us yet," Smith said. "That layering, that architecture of the aquifer."
Scientists have studied the aquifer for a long time - Ludvigson said it's a water source of strategic importance to the whole country but the problem has been collecting a reliable sample that doesn't fall apart.
But now, the Survey will be able to capture foot-long, two-inchwide samples from as much as 400 feet below the earth's surface. Smith said the Kansas Survey was the only one in the Midwest with a rig capable of that, and it will be
"You go to the beach and stick a coffee can into the sand. If you pull it up, all that sand falls out of the bottom." Smith said.
the first to gather these full samples from the High Plains Aquifer.
It's an "exploratory study to show what we're capable of, right now." Ludvigson said.
The aquifer is vital to irrigation, the lifeblood of farming in western Kansas. Learning which parts of the aquifer are losing water quicker than others can help policy-makers, farmers, and city managers decide how to handle their water supply quicker.
Smith said someone down the line will have to make some decisions about how much water can be drawn from a certain area. "And right now, there's really not a very good answer to that question," he said.
Scientists will be able to build off the Survey's research, take the same technology and drill other parts of the aquifer, and also apply the new knowledge to other aquifers around the world.
Now, in the months before the project starts, Smith said the Survey has used the rig north of Wichita, drilling into the aquifer, to "run it through its paces and deal with the kinks."

BEETLES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
new insects wasn't unexpected for Short.
But, scientists are also still discovering new insects in Kansas.
Last year, one of Short's students discovered a new species of beetle in the Baker Wetlands, located in south Lawrence.
Taro Eldredge, a graduate student from Tokyo, said he went to the wetlands last year to check out the collection sites around the area. He said he flipped over a pile of dog poop and found a beetle.
"I instantly, I knew it was a new species." Eldredge said.
Eldredge went back to the wetlands, set up traps and collected two more specimens. He published a paper describing the new species and it came out a couple of weeks ago, he said.
Zack Falin, collection manager for the KU Natural History Museum, said discoveries such as Short's and Eldredge's highlight the magnitude of entomology.
Falin said there are even specimens in the Snow Entomological Collection that are new to science. The problem, he said, is that there's no one to identify them. Falin said it's impossible to have experts available for every insect in the collection.
But, it's exactly that challenge that makes it fun.
"The idea is that we still know very little about life on the planet," Falin said.

He is one of two freshman in the top three of Rivals.com's national recruit rankings — Kentucky's Enes Kanter being the other — awaiting a ruling regarding eligibility for this semester. Another highly-touted recruit, Missouri's Tony Mitchell, has already been declared ineligible for academic reasons.
"My understanding — and I don't have first hand knowledge of Mitchell's case in the same way that I have knowledge of Selby's case — but from just speaking to the NCAA and seeing how they do things and talking to folks who are familiar with this stuff, it seems that Mitchell's case was easier to decide in the short-term," Torre said.
The worst-case scenario for the Jayhawks may be a Renardo Sidney-esque wait before an NCAA ruling comes down. Sidney, a sophomore power forward for Mississippi State, sat until March 5 while the NCAA investigated his case, before it finally ruled that he had to sit out the rest of the season and the first nine games of this year.
The longevity of the investigation, already grating for many
Jayhawk fans, may drag on well into the season.
"The NCAA is not going to hurry up for anyone." Torre said.
Torre said that in the last few years the NCAA had been more aggressive and proactive in its willingness to thoroughly examine a prospect before declaring him eligible. That is reflected in Sidney's case last year and Selby and Kanter's this year. Torre said the length of the investigation into Selby's eligibility was a reflection of that.
"What that points to is that the case is complex for whatever reasons," Torre said, "whether it's people who are unwilling to cooperate or just the number of people they have to interview, or any other factors. But, yeah, I would say that Selby's case is more complex than, you know, the Tony Mitchell case, for example, at least in the short term."
As for what the ruling could be or when it could come down, Torre offered little comfort for Kansas fans.
"Selby could not be cleared at all and he could be cleared today." Torre said. "I honestly have no idea in terms of the timeline."

Moore was 20 of 28 for 298 yards while coilyly directing the Broncos to 468 total yards. Tyler Shoemaker caught six passes for a career-high 124 yards and Doug Martin had 21 carries for a career-best 150 yards and two scores.
Moore threw a 6-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Austin Pettis, who snapped a three-game drought without a touchdown. He tossed a 32-yard to Shoemaker in the second to give the Broncos a 21-7 lead.
Pettis returned the favor in the third when he took a pitch on an end around and quickly fired a 7-yard pass to Moore all alone in the right corner of the end zone.
The Broncos (7- 0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference) also got a big boost from Martin, who had a 2-yard run in the first that made it 7-0 and a 20-yard scamper in the fourth that wrapped up the scoring for Boise State.
Boise State needed another convincing win to keep pace in the BCS standings. The WAC powerhouse is No. 3 behind Auburn and Oregon.
The Broncos never trailed.
building a 28-7 halftime lead thanks to Moore's accurate passing and some miscues by Louisiana Tech (3-5, 2-2).
The Bulldogs used their hurry-up, spread offense to roll up 394 total yards against the nation's top-ranked defense. But they hurt themselves with several costly penalties and mistakes.
Louisiana Tech had a chance to grab the momentum after a bold onside kick attempt in the first quarter following Lennon Creer's tying 1-yard touchdown run. The Bulldogs caught the Broncos flatfooted and recovered the kick, but the play was nullified by an offside penalty. The call angered coach Sonny Dyke, who was flagged 15 yards, forcing Louisiana Tech to kick from the 13.
The Broncos made them pay as Titus Young returned the kick to the Bulldogs 17-yard line. Four plays later, Moore passed to Pettis to make it 14-7 with two minutes left in the first quarter.
Ross jenkins was 24 of 39 for 222 yards for the Bulldogs, but was sacked four times. Creer had a career-high 157 yards on 33 carries against the Bronco defense.

The men's golf team came back from an eleven-stroke deficit in the final event of the fall season to win the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate. The tournament victory is the first for Kit Grove as coach of the Jayhawks.
"It's an awesome way to end the year. Two hundred seventy-three, 11 under is a really low score for college. I just couldn't be happier right now," Grove said.
Kansas shot a season-best eleven under par Tuesday as senior Nate Barbee and sophomores Chris Gilbert and Alex Gutesha all shot in the 60s for the final round. They shot 66, 65 and 68, respectively.
Gutesha led the Jayhawks in scoring, finishing in a tie for third place with a score of 210. Gutesha's final round score of 68 matched his career best.
"Alex played solid all week. He put himself in position to have a chance to win and he came up just a little short. But this is his careerlow and he played solid right from the get-go, and I'm really happy for him." Grove said.

LeBron stars in new Nike ads
MORNING BREW
It's probably shown up in your inbox or news feeds by now. This man who's been a prominent figure
inbox or news feeds by now. This man who's been a prominent figure in his business since he started is now the butt of plenty of jokes. Depending on how you look at him, you're saying, "That self-important nimrod did it again, and slammed America's media into another frenzy to feed his ego," or, "He's such a visionary and it's good he's not shying away from the spotlight." My take? Kanye West's 30-minute video should have more of the super-hot bird chick.
Actually this Brew is focused on the star of the other video slowing down servers across America, LeBron James' new "Rise" commercial. One of the most polarizing figures in sports today repeatedly asks, "What should I do?" throughout his minute-and-a-half ad for Nike, and I don't think he really wants to hear an answer.
First things first: I'm a fan of LeBron. For my money, I'd rather see a NBAer with a big ego physically dominate other professional athletes than the Spurs' team effort stuff. I watch college basketball for good basketball. NBA is for the big boy plays LeBron showcases every night.
Next, he didn't owe Cleveland anything but saving the world from that dreadful hour of television known simply as "The Decision." He played out his rookie

contract and, being one of the best in the game, had his choice of where to play next. You think because James grew up in Akron he owes it to Cleveland to stay? Not a chance. And you blame him for wanting to win in Miami? Think about it: you're almost guaranteed to succeed at 25 if you move to Florida and work with two of your good friends. People: that's not a bad thing. Question his competitiveness, not his judgment.
In the commercial, he's telling his jealous ex-girlfriend she needs to get over him. He's saying it's not that he didn't have fun, but it just wasn't working out and he's in love with someone else—sounds like a Kanye song. He's not apologizing to anyone (he's looking at you, Charles Barkley) for leaving Cleveland and not sorry for anything people might think because of it. James is happy with the decision he made and doesn't care what critics have to say, contradicting the
THE
MORNING
BREW
lines he's speaking in the ad.
People are going to catch up in the fact that LeBron James did something else, this time a commercial, that just seems so darn self-important. Those people miss out on this fact; at least he's being real. It's who he is and what he wants to do. Tell me you wouldn't do what you wanted all day long if you were LeBron-rich.
So I liked it. I liked it because he's the most physically gifted NBA player in my lifetime and he's pissed off now. I liked it because toward the end he spits some Maya Angelou. And I loved LeBron's new commercial because he'll win at least one championship to back it up.

Heat's Big Three lose opener
James, Bosh and Wade couldn't hold off Pierce and the Boston Celtics
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Not so fast,
LeBron.
Playing under Boston's 17 championship banners, the Miami Heat team put together to win its own NBA title couldn't win its first game, as the new Big Three lost to the old Big Three of the Celtics, 88-80 on Tuesday night.
Ray Allen led Boston with 20 points, Pierce scored 19 and Kevin Garnett had 10 points
and 10 rebounds. Those three joined together in 2007 and led the Celtics to the NBA title that season.
James scored 31 points, but the other members of the tri struggle. Dwyane Wade was limited to 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting and Chris Bosh added eight points and eight rebounds. They combined for 15 of the Heat's 17 turnovers — eight by James, six by Wade and one by Bosh.
Boston led 45-30 at halftime, but Miami cut that to 63-57 after the third quarter behind James' 15 points in that period. A layup by James made it 83-80 with 1:10 left in the game. But Boston, which once led by 19, got the last five points on a 3-pointer by Allen and two free throws by Pierce.
Boston led 16-9 after one quarter, the first time since March 15, 2009, at the Philadelphia 76ers that the Heat scored nine points or fewer in a period. The last time James' Cavaliers scored nine or fewer points in a quarter was February 2, 2007, when they managed nine in the second against the Chicago Bulls.
Things got so bad for the Heat in the first half that Shaquille
O'Neal, a notoriously poor free throw shooter, made the first two he tried as a Celtic. That boosted the lead to 41-22 with 2:13 left in the second quarter.
Miami then got a brief burst, scoring six straight points to make it 41-28. The last basket in that surge was a dunk by James on a backward pass from Eddie House, whose steal started their 2-on-none break.
That drew cheers from two Heat fans — one wearing a T-shirt with James' name on the back and the other with a jersey bearing Wade's name — but a fan wearing a green Celtics T-shirt, yelled, "He's supposed to do that. That is not impressive."
It was pretty impressive, considering how poorly the Heat shot in the first half against a quick, aggressive Celtics defense.
a paltry 26.8 percent. Boston went
17 for 38 (44.7 percent).
Miami missed 30 of its 41 shots
The Celtics lost Pierce with 4:32 left in the third period when he hit the floor and hurt his back as he was charged with a blocking foul on James, who made two shots and cut the lead to 55-45. Pierce returned with 10:43 left in the game with Boston ahead 64-57.
James came back to the building where he lost the last game of his Cleveland career in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. He then became a free agent after seven seasons with the Cavaliers and signed with the Heat.
That also was O'Neal's last game there, also with Cleveland. He was back in a Celtics uniform Tuesday and had nine points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes.

Recruit recommits to Kansas football
The Kansas Jayhawks football team actually got some good news Tuesday afternoon
Four-star running back recruit Darian Miller, who had decommitted from the Jayhawks earlier this year, reaffirmed his commitment to the Jayhawks after a visit last weekend. Miller, who played his high school football in Blue Springs, Mo., is rated the second best prospect in the state by Rivals.com and the 23rd-best running back in the class of 2011.
Miller ran for just shy of 2,800 yards and 37 yards last season.
Two-star cornerback Adonis Saunders of Olathe North also picked the Jayhawks Tuesday. A state champion in the Class 6A 100m dash, Saunders is one of the fastest players in the state and could fit in well with Turner Gill's speed-first approach.

Sl sheds light on Selby's eligibility

According to a Sports Illustrated report, Josh Selby's relationship with Robert "Bay" Frazier, the business manager of the NBA's Carmelo Anthony, may no longer be the focal point of the NCAA's investigation into the Kansas freshman's eligibility.
Torre confirmed to The Kansan that the night classes "100 percent" are a major aspect of the investigation, but did not know what exactly was the issue that triggered the probe.
Pablo Torre, who wrote the article, said from what he had gathered it seemed as though Selby's academic eligibility, not his amateur status, was the main focus of the inquiry. The NCAA is investigating, per Torre's unnamed sources, night classes that Selby took for high school credit.
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
"I don't know if he had done anything in those night classes or if it's the night classes themselves," Torre said by phone Tuesday afternoon. "My understanding is just that the night classes were themselves something that required more scrutiny, or increased scrutiny. I don't know exactly what about those night classes or what he did in those night classes was the problem."
Torre said he could only confirm that the night classes were in fact a part of the investigation now. He did not know whether or not Selby and Frazier's relationship, which was the impetus for the investigation, was still under scrutiny.
"As far as whether Bay Frazier is still a factor, my understanding is that he has been investigated for it, but that it may not be the biggest factor right now," Torre said. "This is just based on my intuitive understanding from interviews. I have had no one tell me on the record that Bay Frazier is not a factor, but my guess is that the academics is the bigger part."
Selby, the highest profile recruit Bill Self has brought to Kansas, is cleared by the NCAA to practice and attend classes; everything

playing time prior to Saturday. Gill said Mecham had been all smiles around the Anderson Family Football Complex this week, and it was imperative for Mecham to get the offense going early Saturday.
Jordan Webb is listed as Mecham's backup Saturday, but Gill said his status was doubtful. Kale Pick is also out after suffering a concussion late in the game against Texas A&M.
It's not hard to recognize Kansas' offensive woes this season. Untimely penalties, costly turnovers and lack of execution in the red zone have killed drives time and time again this season.

Gill tells fans it's all going to be OK
10
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Coach Turner Gill did something completely unexpected at the start of yesterday's weekly football press conference - but it was appropriate.
In a room full of media members, he addressed the fans.
"I want our fans to know that we're going through some ups and downs in our football program here," he said. "And part of that is the transition with a new staff, and our players are getting to know us in a better way."
In no part of his speech did he apologize. That would have completed the transcendent monologue by Gill.
But if you have watched the past three games, I am sorry.
Fans weren't expecting a great season. Beating Texas, Nebraska or Oklahoma for the Big 12 title just wasn't going to happen. But the team had a lot of expectations for itself at the start of the season and it has been worse than anyone could imagine.
Ask any fan. People have already moved on to basketball season and chances are they aren't coming back. Losing in Kansas football is not as engaging as last season: It was fresh and it was scandalous.
The Jayhawks have been outscored 159-24 in conference play this season. It's been brutal for the fans to come to the games, as seats have been emptier each week. And good luck getting anyone to stay past halftime. There is little draw to come to the stadium at this point.
At some point you have to question if "new" actually equals "good." There are plenty of new coaches, schemes, players and position swaps, but are they for the betterment of the team?
The football team has been hard to identify this year. There's so much "new" on the team and, yes, it does take a while to jell. Obviously, Gill and his coaching staff have yet to instill their methods on the players.
That is what makes this season so agonizing for the football team. Every week it's a new running back, a defensive position is switched and so on. The transition phase can't lead to good things when it takes place every single week.
"Through that transition phase," Gill said, "it takes time for our guys to understand how we need to do it and why we need to do it the way we want it to be done."
"We are very, very confident that we will come through here and have a winning program here on a consistent basis," Gill said. "That's why we all chose to come here on this staff."
But guess what, everybody?
Coach says it's all going to be OK.
Our actions define us, not our words. Right now, it's a week-to-week event and the Jayhawks aren't giving fans any sign of hope.
I'm glad Gill took the time to address those who are affected by the team. The message was more direct than we are used to seeing.
But we're still waiting for the apology.

BASKETBALL PREVIEW / WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM
Note from the editor
The face of Kansas basketball is faceless.
Many of you will say it's junior forward Marcus Morris, but he won't accept it.
"I want it to be 'us' instead of just 'me,'" Morris said.
With each magazine-cover photo shoot, he has demanded that his teammates be included, shining no light solely on himself.
This is precisely the reason the layhawks are better suited for a tournament run this year than last.
No matter how you play it, the Jayhawks were built for Sherron Collins last year. Even if he wasn't the hot hand that game, they always lived or died by his performance.
Morris isn't that type of player. If freshman point guard Josh Selby is cleared to play, coach Bill Self is not going to make him the focal point of the offense, either.
So the idea of "team" is more relevant than it was last year.
It's a weird time for Kansas basketball. The Jayhawks aren't picked to win the Big 12 after losing Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry. Those guys brought so many intangibles to the team, it's no wonder people aren't putting Kansas higher in the rankings now.
Kansas State is a solid team with a great coach. I'm just not convinced that it's better than what coach Bill Self has here.
If you were in that locker room after the Northern Iowa game last season, you'd feel the same way.
Instead of focusing on what the Jayhawks don't have, look at what they do.
I there were so many tears shed in that room, probably more than any other team in the tournament. A team expected to do so much accomplished so little. If people tell you that loss didn't mean anything, they are lying.
The Wildcats went where they expected. The desire to do better than finishing in the Elite Eight doesn't run as deep as the feeling of losing in the first round. Look what the Kansas guys did in the offseason if you don't believe that.
The Morris twins worked out three times a day during the summer: wake up early for a run, work out around lunch time and then do some more at night.
I'm assuming the degree of their training wasn't totally unrelated to the Northern Iowa loss.
Markieff's body ballooned, but in a good way. Marcus showed up some of the top college athletes at the camps he visited this summer.
As arguably the two most talented returning players, that is a statement for the twins. I never heard of Sherron Collins doing that.
So how do you go about
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
replacing the winningest player in Kansas basketball history? You can't. But it's not a bad thing. In all honesty, maybe some losses would do the team some good.
How do you replace one of the nation's most disruptive defenders in Cole Aldrich? Once again, you can't. But it will allow for the team to do different things that might be just as effective, such as guard on the perimeter and run the floor at a faster pace.
It's not better. Self said, but different.
"If we're able to do those things well," he said, "then maybe some of the things that Cole covered up won't be quite as important as what it was last year."
The quiet offseason might do this team some good, too.
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor is a year wiser and hasn't been in the news recently, which, for him, is a good thing. Bet on him to live up to his athletic potential this year.
The sophomore wonder-boys, guard Elijah Johnson and center Thomas Robinson, can go buck-wild in their respective positions. Johnson has those hand-is-quicker-than the eye ball-handling skills and Robinson has Dwight Howard shoulders. As far as the yet-to-be-proven players go, they have the highest ceiling.
Seniors Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar are the guys responsible for the intangibles, getting the team out of pickles with intellect rather than raw ability.
Sophomore Travis Releford and senior Mario Little redshirted last year so this will be a re-introduction for the veterans. They both appear to be integral parts to the rotation this season.
There is a lot here to suggest that this team will have a great season. Self agrees. In front of his own team during a fan question and answer, he said a championship was a realistic goal, given the pieces he has.
"Some of the best teams we've ever had were teams where we didn't really know who our best player was," he said.
The 2010-11 Jayhawks are a bunch made up of untapped potential and a whole lot to prove after last year. It's not unfair to anticipate greatness this season.

COMMENTARY
Releford ready to make an impression
BY MAX ROTHMAN
If you forgot about one of the areas top recruits from a few years ago, here's your free pass. But when the season rolls around, it will be a quick reintroduction. Travis Leeford is done waiting and ready to ball. The Kansas City, Mo., native starred at Bishop Miege High School and caught scouts' eyes while playing for the AAU team Kansas City Pump N Run. When he signed his letter of intent for Kansas in 2008, it seemed like the perfect marriage. After the national championship victory, gone were Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and other hindrances to playing time. It seemed as if Leeford would step right in and share shooting guard duties with Tyshawn Taylor.
But Taylor started and was named to the Big 12 All-Rookie Team, and Releford rarely looked comfortable on the court and played a meager seven minutes per game.
Last season was to be his time to play consistent minutes, but then Kansas plucked one-and-done Xavier Henry in the final stages of recruitment. Stuck in a muddled rotation, Releford opted to redshirt his sophomore season and refine his skills. He practiced with a game like intensity and worked on his jump shot for hours on end.
With a polished jump shot and an itch to prove his place, Releford is ready to shine this season. But on a team with offensive talents such as Taylor, Josh Selby and the Morris twins, Releford's calling card will likely come as a defender.
The loss of Cole Aldrich may slightly sting the defense, so the Jayhawks need all the defensive help they can get. Releford already has athleticism and a proper frame. With the mindset of a pit bull that's hungry for dinner, he could mold into a defensive stopper. Besides, it's about time he gets on par with the rest of his class.
Back in the days of new student orientation, there stood a tall and skinny freshman in front of me in the "R" line, ready to check in.
"Do you play a sport?" I asked the towering kid.
"Yeah, basketball. You?"
I had a good feeling about that one before I asked. I looked into the sky to respond.
"Baseball."
I left out the "club" part. He said his name was Travis Releford and that he was from around here, but the guys he was with weren't. He then pointed to the left where two tall twins with backpacks and flatbrim hats stood with shoulders shouced.
"I'm with them," Releford said. Since that day, I've kept close tabs on Releford. I haven't really needed to do the same with the Morris twins, because they've made plenty of headlines since their arrival.
As a slashing scorer or a defensive plug, Travis Reford, it's time to make your own headlines.

PROFILE
Marcus Morris puts team's success over accolades and NBA potential
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
It isn't so much that Marcus Morris doesn't think he's one of the best players in the country. It's just that he doesn't read about it when other people say he is.
After hearing that he had been named first-team All-American by The Sporting News and Blue Ribbon Basketball Yearbook about a week after the publications were released, Morris was legitimately surprised.
"Word? I didn't even know that," he said. "Damn. I gotta tell my mom. I don't know if she knows. I gotta tell Kieff, too."
Such is the manner of the Jayhawks' unassuming star, who was more excited because his mother would be than for any personal reasons.
"I need to be on that All-American list," he said with a laugh. "Not really, Honestly, I just want to win. I would rather win than be on any list."
Driven by a work ethic matched perhaps only by his brother's, Marcus has turned himself into one of the best players in the Big 12. He said he knows that if he chose to style himself as the face of the team he would be. But he'd
prefer not to stand out — at least, as much as a 6-foot-9 guy can help it.
but I'm real proud of how they've matured," Self said. "They get it. They've become some of our hardest workers."
"I can be, but I don't want to," he said. "I want this to be a family thing and a team thing where everybody is the face of
Part of that work ethic comes from his experience practicing with Team USA, Marcus said. He said he hadn't felt as overwhelmed since he first came to Kansas and now has even more drive to better himself for the next level.
"It felt like just coming to college," Marcus said. "When I first got here at Kansas, it was like, 'Damn, these guys are strong.' The game is fast now. I think it's just another adjustment. Another bump I can get over."
Morris is best suited to the NBA game as a small forward, rather than the power forward position he plays for Kansas. Self said he could be Kansas' best small forward, too, and that he may use Marcus there with Thomas Robinson, Markieff and Jeff Withey filling in the other two post spots. Robinson loves the idea.
"That'd be real big. Huge if we could put that lineup out there," Robinson said. "We've just gotta do what coach asks and hopefully we can get that lineup out there. That'd be scary. That'd be real scary."
MARCUS MORRIS Junior foward
"I've got to win every day here. I've got to. Go undefeated here and win a national championship. It'd be hard to leave here without one."
the program, not just one or two players. We need the whole team to play, not just one or two players."
"They're a unique twosome,
Marcus spent much of his summer away at camps — LeBron James', Amar'e Stoudemire's, and the Adidas Nations camp — but coach Bill Self said there were still at least 30 days when he would get to his office overlooking the practice court at 8 a.m. and the Morris twins would already be finishing up a workout on their own.
As Marcus works to get ready for the pro game —
works to get ready for the pro game — Markieff says his brother has become a better ball handler and more fluid outside player — Kansas fans wonder if he'll make the jump to the league a year early.
before that becomes a question, though, Marcus has some goals left to accomplish.

"The goal is just to win. Stay undefeated at home, too," Marcus said. "If I do leave, I can't, can't go out saying that they lost at home when I was here. Can't do that. My senior year, too. I can't. There's no way. I've got to win every game here. I've got to. Go undefeated here and win a national championship. I'd be hard to leave here without one."

Breaking down the best and worst Big 12 challengers
BAYLOR BEARS
BAYLOR BEARS (28-8,11-5)
Vs. Kansas: Jan, 17, 8:30 p.m.
Waco Texas
Key losses: Tweety Carter, Ekpe Udoh, Josh Lomers
Key additions: Perry Jones, Imison Morgan, Stargell Love
Morgan, Sargent.
Breakdown: The Baylor Bears were sitting on top of the world after reaching the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight for the first time in school history. Despite losing floor general Tewett Carter and big men Ekpe Udoh and Josh Lomers to the NBA, hopes were high for another memorable year. Then LaceDarius Dunn was suspended indefinitely because of assault charges for allegedly breaking his girlfriend's jaw.
K-STATE
32
The All-American slasher was suspended from competition by his school, but he is currently practicing with the team. Odds are that Dunn will miss a sizable portion of the regular season, handicapping a once definite top 10 squad.
Max Rothman
The outcome of this season truly hinges on Dunn's fiasco, but either way, it seems as if Drew has rebuilt a once downtrodden program (Dennehy tragedy, Bliss scandal, losing history) into a Big 12 power.
even with Dunn's mess, the Bears won't fall to the pit of the conference. Not with the leadership of coach Scott Drew and key cogs such as guard A.J. Walton, forward Quincy Acy, center Jmison Morgan and forward Perry Jones, Morgan, a capable shot blocker and interior presence, transferred from UCLA and was scouted by Drew in his high school days. Jones is a rare specimen with an endless wingspan. His skills are raw, but as a 6-foot-11 small forward who can shoot, dribble and rebound, he doesn't seem to have a ceiling. NBA scouts fall to the floor at the sheer thought of his potential, as his game projects to a stronger Anthony Randolph or even, dare I say, Kevin Durant.
COLORADO BUFFALOES (15-16, 6-10)
CUJ
Vs. Kansas: Jan. 25, 7 p.m., Boulder,
Colo.; Feb. 19, 1 p.m., Lawrence
key losses; Dwight Thorne II
key additions; Andre Roberson
Breakdown: Colorado is the only
school in the conference with two
players on the John Wooden Award
presseason watch list. Seriously.
Colorado. The traditionally lowly
Buffaloes have the chance to surprise a few teams this year with sophomore guard Alec Burks and senior guard Cory Higgins, who are both legitimate candidates for first team all-conference nods. Burks is projected as a lottery pick and Higgins is averaging more than 18 points per game over the last two seasons.
Past Burks and Higgins, though.
Kansas State forward Jamar Samuels screams after a Kansas timeout call. Kansas won 81-79 in overtime last season at Bramlage Coliseum.
Tim Dwyer
there's much to be desired. The Buffaloes lack a top-flight rebounder. Burks, a 6-foot-6 guard, led the team with five per game. They may be helped in that department by Andre Roberson, a 6-foot-7 freshman swingman rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com.
Last year Colorado lost both meetings against Kansas. The Jayhawks struggled in Boulder, winning 72-66 in overtime despite Burks being out with an injury. In Lawrence it was a different story. Kansas hammered the Buffaloes 94-74 in the rematch.
IOWA STATE CYCLONES (15-17,2-12)
STATE
Vs. Kansas: Jan. 12, 8 p.m., Ames,
iowa; Feb. 12, 3 p.m., Lawrence
Key losses: Craig Brackins, Marquis
Gilstrap
Key additions: Melvin Ejim,
Demparcus Phillips
Breakdown: The Iowa State men's basketball program is in shambles.
First year coach Fred Hoiberg is left to pick up the pieces. The former beloved Cyclone and NBA guard, Hoiberg, has experience in the Timberwolves' front office. The program has also suffered from a bevy of transfers, leaving the roster unproven. On top of that, the Cyclone's top two scorers, Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap, have both left for the NBA. Iowa State only returns three of its top 10 scorers from last year's mediocre squad. The Big 12 coaches have predicted Iowa State to finish last in the Big 12. The upside for Hoiberg is that there is nowhere to go but up for the Cyclones. Iowa State can look to build off of senior guard Diante Garrett. Garrett is an outside threat, and can also pass the ball. Garrett averaged 5.1 assists per game last year, good for third in the conference. Garrett's main target will be the sharpshooting guard. Scott Christopherson. Christopherson shot 42.9 percent from the three last year, and finished the season strongly averaging 12.1 points in his last seven games. If the 6-foot-11 big man Jamie Vanderbeken can stay healthy this year, he could be a huge asset to the team. If the returning players can come together and make things happen there might be a little Hilton Magic left in Ames this season — they might be able to catch a couple of teams off guard.

KANSAS STATE
WILDCATS
(29-8, 11-5)
Vs.Kansas: Jan.29, 6.p.m., Lawrence; Feb.14, 8 p.m., Manhattan Key losses: Denis Clemente, Dominique Sutton
Key additons: Freddy Asprilla, Nino Williams
Nino Williams
Breakdown: There's plenty to be excited about with the Wildcats this year, but the loss of Denis Clemente could prove to be a crippling one. Clemente, the departed lightning-fast point guard, has yet to catch on with an NBA team, but there's no denying his outstanding ability as a college playmaker.
The Wildcat's success in the 2010-2011 campaign rests almost entirely on preseason All-American Jacob Pullen's transition to point guard in an attempt to replace Clemente. If Pullen proves he can run an offense effectively and still get his points, the Wildcats will be a serious contender not just for the Big 12, but also for the national title. If Pullen winds up not being effective at creating his own shot, Kansas State will have difficulty repeating its Elite Eight run from last year.
The frontcourt of the Wildcats will be formidable, with Curtis Kelly, Jamar Samuels and Wally Judge all legitimate NBA prospects.
MISSOURI TIGERS (23-11, 10-6)
-Tim Dwyer
ALPINE SUN
Vs. Kansas: Feb. 7, 8 p.m. Lawrence; March 5, 11 a.m., Columbia, Mo. 11, 12 a.m.; J.T. Teller, Zaire Taylor Key additions: Phil Pressey, Ricardo Rattilfe
Breakdown: The Tigers are led by shooting guard Kim English, a preseason Naismith candidate who averaged just shy of 14 points per game last season. He'll be the go-to man for Missouri once more this year, but the man getting him the ball will be a new face in Columbia, freshman point guard Phil Presley. Tigers coach Mike Anderson has been raving about Pressey's ability since he got on campus, and the young speedster looks like he'll be a perfect fit in Anderson's 40-minutes-of hell offense.
If Pressey replicates what the departed J.T. Tiller and Zaire Taylor gave from the point — and junior college transfer Ricardo Ratliffe adds a post presence that was sorely lacking last year — the Tigers will be a dark horse to compete for the league title. If not, they'll need help to finish in the top half.
The Jayhawks should be able to make quick work of the Tigers when they meet in Lawrence in February, but expect the Tigers, as always, to give a battle in Columbia in the last game of the regular season.
Tim Dwyer
N
NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS (17-18, 2-14)
Vs. Kansas: Jan. 15, 1 p.m., Lawrence; Feb. 5, 3 p.m., Lincoln, Neb.
Key additions: Andre Almeida,
Caleb Walker
Key losses: Ryan Anderson, Sek
Henry, Myles Holley
Caledon Walker
Breakdown: The Cornhuskers, who were picked to finish 10th in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, are looking to rebound from a season in which they only won two conference games.
Nebraska will also be looking for someone to fill the shoes of former guard Ryan Anderson. Anderson finished his career at Nebraska in the school's top 25 all-time for scoring, rebounding and assists. He also finished in the top 10 all-time for three-pointers, three-point percentage, steals, games played and games started.
One candidate to replace Anderson is junior guard Caleb Walker, a transfer from Butler County Community College. Walker was named to the NJCAA All-America first team last year.

Doc Sadler will begin his fifth year as head coach of Nebraska. Sadler was successful early in his tenure as the head coach of the Cornhuskers, winning more games in his first three years than anyone else in the history of Nebraska. After a down year, Sadler will be looking to prove that the Cornhuskers are an improved basketball team.

Breakdown: Last year's 13-18 campaign marked the worst season coach Jeff Capel has had in his eight years of coaching. Even though it was such a dismal season, Tommy Mason-Griffin was one of the few bright spots, averaging 16.3 points/game and 4.1 assists/game. The 6-foot-8, 320-pound Tiny Gallon did more last year than star in a famous backboard-breaking YouTube video. He averaged 10.3 points per game, and led the team with 7.9 rebounds per game. However, that pair is gone, and Oklahoma will be playing this year without their top four scorers from last year: Willie Warren, Mason Griffin, Tony Crocker and Gallon
Capel will have to figure out where his scoring is going to come from, but starting fresh might not be such a bad thing after winning only four Big 12 games last year. Oklahoma only has five players on this year's 16-man roster that were also on last year's squad.

MEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 4)
Sooners heading into the season,
after averaging 9.9 points per game last year, including a .347 shooting percentage from three-point range.
Davis also recently suffered a facial
fracture during practice, but he is expected to be fully recovered in four to six weeks.
Sophomores Steven Pledger and Andrew Fitzgerald also saw time last year, averaging 18.9 and 15.7 minutes per game, respectively. If Oklahoma wants to improve from last year, these sophomores will have to help Davis in playing a veteran leadership role, having experienced playing under Capel, and having been at Oklahoma.
Since there are so many newcomers — the Sooners have seven incoming recruits — it is hard to pick out who might have a significant impact, but one player to keep an eye on would be the highly-touted freshman Cameron Clark. Clark averaged 23.7 points per game in high school and will have to perform at a high level to give the Sooners a chance at success this year. Rivals.com, which also ranked him as the fifth-best small forward, ranked Clark as the nation's No. 34 recruit.
Junior college transfer Nick Thompson has been named a captain despite not playing a game in an Oklahoma jersey yet. He will look to bring a winning attitude to the Sooners after coming off of a year in which he led his team at Eastern Utah to a third-place finish at the national junior college tournament.

If the Sooners were to pull out a .500 season it would be deemed successful, but it'll be difficult. They were picked to finish 11th in the league by the coaches.

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (22-11, 9-7)
Vs. Kansas: Feb. 21, 8 p.m.
Lawrence
Mike Lavieri
Breakdown: The Cowboys lost the Big 12's leading scorer, James Anderson (first round, 20th overall) to the NBA Draft. He averaged 22.3 points per game. He was the Big 12 Player of the Year and led Oklahoma State to the NCAA Tournament. Muonelo was the Cowboys' second leading scorer, with 13.3 ppg. It will be hard to replace Anderson and Muonelo. They return senior forward Marshall Moses and junior guard Keiton Page. Page is known for his three-point shot and putting the game against the Jayhawks out of reach. Oklahoma State's recruiting class is below average, bringing in two freshmen and two junior college transfers. The Cowboys will need their freshmen to overperform in order to finish outside the lower third of the Big 12.

TEXAS LONGHORNS (24-9, 9-7)
Vs. Kansas: Jan, 22, 3 p.m.
Lawrence
Key losses: Damion James, Dexter Pittman, Avery Bradley
Key additions: Cory Joseph, Tristan Thompson
Mike Lavieri
Breakdown: The Longhorns are coming off a season in which they started 17-0 and were ranked No. 1 in the coaches' and AP polls for the first time in the program's history. However, Texas went 7-9 in the second half of its season and lost to Wake Forest in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Longhorns lost James (first round, 24th overall), Pittman (second round, 32nd overall) and Bradley (first round, 19th overall) to the NBA draft this summer. The three were the team's leading scorers, averaging 40 points per game among the three. Joseph (No. 8-ranked player by Rivals) and Thompson (No. 17) will put this
team in the top half of the conference. The Longhorns are never to be overlooked, but they won't be as good as they have been in recent past. Joseph will compete with Kansas Josh Selby for Freshman of the Year.

Breakdown: Texas A&M is coming off of a second-place Big 12 finish last year and is predicted by Big 12 coaches to finish the 2010-2011 season in the middle of the pack at sixth.
The Aggies went to the second round of last year's NCAA Basketball tournament only to be edged out by Purdue. They are bringing most of that experience back this year, returning 10 lettermen and three of last year's starters.
The loss of key starters Brian Davis, who averaged nine points, and Donald Sloan, who averaged 17 points, is the reason the Aggies are slated to finish this year at sixth place in the Big 12. Derrick Roland, an NBA prospect, was supposed to be back this year after missing most of last season with a knee injury. His plea for eligibility to the NCAA was denied this summer, however.
The three leaving players were part of the winningest senior class ever at Texas A&M. With no incoming big names to add to the roster, the wins might be harder to get this year. However, if the Aggies finish sixth in the Big 12, it could propel them to a fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (19-16,4-12)
Vs. Kansas: Feb. 1, 8 p.m., Lubbock,
Texas
Key Losses: Nick Okorie, Darko Koh darevic
Key Acquisitions: Jamel Outler,
lazarez Willis, Paul Cooper
Breakdown: Red Raider basketbatt fans might know something the rest of the nation doesn't. One business day after tickets went on sale, more than 80 percent of last year's holders renewed for the 2010-11 season, marking the best renewal rate in recent history.
Failing to live up to his father's legacy, head coach Pat Knight holds a 37-42 record since taking over in 2008. Texas Tech did improve their 14-19 record from the previous year, which might leave room for hope for the upcoming season. Nick Okorie averaged nearly 26 minutes and 10.8 points per game and Darko Cohadarevic averaged 6.9 points per game and started in 31 games. Chances are the team will not be hit too hard by these losses.
More important than who is leaving the team is who will be returning to the team. Senior forward Mike Singletary and senior guard John Roberson were the only two players to start in each game in the 2009-10 season. Singletary led the team with an average of 15 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He also contributed 43 steals and 80 assists. Roberson followed closely behind with an average of 14.5 points per game. He also led the team with 190 assists and was perfect from the line in eight games, hitting 41 free throws. Expect those numbers to go up this year.
The upside for the Red Raiders is that they return nearly the entire team that finished ninth in conference play last year. Having the opportunity to return to the Big 12 with essentially the same squad is

Senior guard Sherron Collins forces Baylor guard Tweety Carter to call a timeout last season during the second half against Baylor. Collins had four assists and two steals along with a team-leading 28 points.
rare and gives Texas Tech a unique advantage in many ways, but don't expect the team to make a formidable improvement in Big 12 conference standing this season.

What to look for - Men's
SPEED
Losing Sherron Collins to graduation and Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry to the draft may not be the worst thing for the Jayhawks. Yes, they lost the winningest player in Kansas history. Yes, they lost a player who could come up with big defensive plays. But what they didn't lose was speed. The Jayhawks got faster this year by losing Collins and Aldrich. Kansas got smaller this year, which equates to speed. The offense went through Collins and Aldrich. This year it doesn't have to. All five starters will be able to push the ball down the court, something that will play into junior guard Tyshawn Taylor's style of play. Coach Bill Self said that this team is the closest to the 2007-2008 National Championship team in terms of athletic ability.
MARIO LITTLE
Senior guard Mario Little is finally 100 percent, according to Self. The 2008 National Junior College Athletic Association Player of the Year really hasn't shown what he is because he only played half of the 2008 season. Little redshirted last season, along with sophomore guard Travis Releford. Self thinks that no matter how much playing time Little gets, he will contribute some big numbers. He is one of four seniors and Little sees himself as a leader this year. He wants to be more vocal and wants to lead by example for the younger players so they can look up to him for guidance.
DEPTH
one Jaynawks are two deep at every position. Even if freshman guard Josh Selby isn't cleared, the Jayhawks still have guards junior Tyshawn Taylor and sophomore Elijah Johnson to play the point. Kansas will most likely play 10 men throughout the season. If Selby does get cleared to play, he along with the Morris twins, Taylor and Little should be the starting lineup. Guards Tyrel Reed, Travis Releford and Johnson would come off the bench along with sophomore forward Thomas Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey. Johnson and Robinson are going to be a large part of the success Kansas has this season with how much they improved during the summer. Self said that Robinson has grown up and has really bought into the system. Robinson has a high ceiling for potential. Self said that Johnson has been great in practice but needs to perform with the spotlight on him.
THE ELIGIBILITY OF JOSH SELBY
Whether or not the wunderkind freshman is cleared will play a massive role in the Jayhawks' fortunes this year. Selby was rated No. 1 overall by Rivals.com, and recruiting analyst Shay Wildeboor said he deserves that lofty rating. "It was between him and Harrison Barnes," Wildeboor said, "But Josh has the ball in his hands at all times. He's the real deal." If he is, the Jayhawks have a dynamic player that could rival what Sherron Collins offered the team last year. If he's not, the job will likely fall into the capable hands of Elijah Johnson. Johnson was impressive alongside Tyshawn Taylor in the Late Night in the Phog scrimmage in a 40-39 victory for his blue team.
SPOTLIGHT ON MARCUS MORRIS
Morris is the unquestioned star of the Kansas team, but there are no promises he'll be able to handle being the focal point of an offense. He was the fourth option last year, behind the departed Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry. He'll have help from twin brother Markieeff, Tyshawn Taylor and Selby, if he is eligible, but he'll have to deal for the first time with defenses keying to stop him. He's got plenty going in his favor, though. He can play on the wing or as a power forward inside. His versatility presents matchup challenges that may not allow teams to prepare for him.

KANSAS VS. ARIZONA, NOV.27,LAS VEGAS
Games to Watch - Men's
KU
The Jayhawks' finale in the Vegas Invitational will be by far their toughest test to date. Arizona is looking to start a new NCAA Tournament appearance streak after missing the dance for the first time in 25 years. The effort will be aided by a three-man recruiting class led by Rivalns.com's No. 75 overall recruit Daniel Bejarano.
KU
KANSAS VS. MEMPHIS, DEC. 9, NEW YORK
M
The Tigers will be without leading scorer Elliot Williams, who was selected No.22 overall in the NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. Freshman guard Will Barton, rated No.11 overall by Rivals, should be able to provide some of the missing offensive firepower. With a pair of double-digit scorers returning in Wesley Witherspoon and Roburt Sallie, the Tigers should push the Jayhawks in Madison Square Garden.
S
KANSAS VS. KANSAS ST, JAN. 26, MANHATTAN
T
Both games against the Wildcats will be must-win for the Jayhawks in 2011. If the predictions hold true, Kansas State, not Kansas, will be the No.1 team heading into the Big 12 Tournament in March. The Jayhawks will host the Wildcats on Jan. 29 when ESPN's College GameDay comes to Lawrence. It's a rematch from last year's GameDay at Bramlage Coliseum, in which the Jayhawks won 81-79, in overtime.
KU
KANSAS AT MISSOURI, MARCH 5, COLUMBIA, MO.
WE
The Tigers always play the Jayhawks tough even if the score doesn't reflect that. Missouri, who was selected fifth by the coaches, will test the Jayhawks, especially in Columbia, Mo. The Tigers are looking for payback, as the Jayhawks have won by an average of 22 points in the last three meetings. Kansas will travel to Columbia for the final game of the season on March 5. Kansas defeated Missouri 77-56 last season.

What to look for-Women's
GOODRICH'S RETURN
Junior guard Angel Goodrich will return to the team after two seasons plagued with injury. Goodrich injured her right ACL her freshman year and her left ACL during her sophomore campaign.Now,after working with trainers since her surgery in January,Goodrich is ready to get back out onto the court.Last season Goodrich started 15 games and led the conference in assists with 7.1 per game before her injury.After 15 games Goodrich already had 106 assists,and averaged 6.8 points,2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals.
Goodrich, who was the top point guard recruit in the nation, was cleared to play in July after six months of rehab. During that time she worked on strengthening both knees in an effort to complete her first full season as a redshirt sophomore. Goodrich is also looking forward to being more vocal and becoming a leader for Kansas.
LEADERSHIP
After the Jayhawks lost their leading scorer, Danielle McCray, to an ACL tear shortly after Goodrich's injury, they were forced to reevaluate the team and their roles on the team. They needed a new leader and it changed game by game with different players stepping up. One of the biggest questions still facing the Jayhawks is who will fill the scoring void left by the absence of McCray and Sade Morris, who were drafted to play overseas after McCray had been drafted seventh in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Signs point to sophomores Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis stepping up to take a larger role in the team. They contributed 7.5 and 10.2 points per game respectively last season and Engelman started for the team after Angel Goodrich was hurt and Carolyn started for the Big 12 season. The team will need consistent leaders and with the spot wide open almost anyone one the team could fill the void. Davis, Engelman and Goodrich were named team captains for the upcoming season.
Senior Krysten Boogaard, who averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, has the opportunity for an impressive senior year. The Regina, Saskatchewan native played all 33 games last season and started in 20 of them. Boogaard made 104 of 170 shots for a 61.2 field goal percentage. In the WNIT Boogaard hit her stride and averaged 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and shooting 70.8 percent of her shots from the field. She recorded double digits in 12 different games and had double figures in rebounding in three games. As the most experienced returning starter, Boogaard will have a larger leadership role.
OFFENSE
KANSAS 71
Over the summer, Boogard worked with assistant coach Tory Verdi on improving her offense around the rim. She also gained more muscle in preparation for her senior season. Henrickson is hoping to play Boogaard and Davis at the same time to improve scoring around the basket this season.
After two years of reaching the WNIT, the veterans now have the tournament experience to go further in not only the Big 12 Tournament, but also the NIT or NCAA Tournaments this year. Following a disappointing loss in the Sweet 16 to Illinois State in the WNIT last season the Jayhawks are hopeful to continue postseason participation. Coach Henrickson and the team are optimistic.
POSTSEASON
Coach Henrickson and the team are optimistic about their chances to advance to the NCAA tournament for the first year since 2000.

KU
KANSAS VS. MICHIGAN, DEC. 9. ANN ARBOR, MICH.
Michigan lost in the WNIT Semifinals last year to Miami (Fla.), but senior guard Veronica Hicks was named to the 2010 WNIT All-Tournament team. Hicks led her team in scoring with 13.2 points per game. As the lone senior on the roster, Hicks will play an important leadership role. This game should be a good matchup — the Jayhawks reached the third round of the WNIT tournament last year and the finals the year before.
MICHIGAN

Jays
KANSAS VS. CREIGHTON, DEC. 22, OMAHA, NEB. Jays
Kansas faced Creighton in both the regular season and the second round of the WNIT last season and won both games by a close margin. Creighton will be looking to avenge their loss in the tournament last year and the match-ups between the two teams on the perimeter will be challenging.

Though there are only three returning starters from last year's team, Iowa State is ranked 17th in the nation, according to a preseason poll released by The Sporting News. Expectations are high for the upcoming season, even though the team lost its star guard, Alison Lacey, who averaged 15.8 points, 6.2 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game last season. This year's recruiting class consists of freshman guard Elly Arganbright, who averaged 18.2 points per game during her senior season at Panorama High, in Panora, Iowa. One of last year's returning members is sophomore center Anna Prins, Prins averaged 9.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, and is expected to have a break-out season this year. The team will also rely heavily on 6-foot senior guard Kelsey Bolte, who averaged 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Breakdown: Missouri was ranked last in the Big 12 and projected to finish 11th this year. The Tigers struggled last season, 2-14 in Big 12 conference play — both wins at home — and 12, 18 overall.
The Tigers' averaged 61.9 points per game and 36.2 rebounds per game.
The Tigers have a new coach - Robin Pingeton from Illinois State. She said her focus is to cultivate relationships with players. Trust is a main point that Pingeton plans to use to make a successful team. Missouri may be a team to watch in the upcoming seasons. The coach plans on focusing on in-state recruitment and moving forward in that aspect, among others. The Tigers are hopeful, despite grim projections for the 2010 season.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Jayhawk post players step up on guard-heavy team
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
With only a handful of post players this season, junior forward Aishah Sutherland is ready to step up and make a difference for the women's basketball team, in the hope of earning the Big 12 Championship.
New assistant coach Tony Verdi, who specializes in post play, has had his work cut out for him with the guard-heavy team. He refuses to go easy on any of his posts, including Sutherland. She's thankful for it.
Sutherland and Boogaard were visibly excited while talking about their broadened offensive options, but they were even more excited to welcome teammate Angel Goodrich back to the floor after her recovery from a second season-ending ACL injury suffered in January.
"He's actually a great coach," she said. "He pushes us hard and makes us a lot better as post players."
Sutherland said she has seen significant improvements in her ability to knock down the pull-up jumper that she struggled to hit last season.
Sutherland said Verdi has spent a lot of time with each post player to improve their individual skills.
"I've been playing the same way, with my back to the basket, for three years, but he's helping me extend my game out so it's not so predictable," Boogaard said. "I'm getting to step out a little bit more and look for a mid-range shot."
Senior center Krysten Boogaard said she was excited about the more dynamic role Verdi has allowed her to fill on offense. Boogaard averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season, but said she expected her scoring ability to improve with the new offensive approach.
"She's a game-changer and she sees the floor like no other point guard I've seen before," Boogaard said.
Sophomore guard Monica Engelman said the energy in the gym changed the second Goodrich
stepped onto the floor for the team's first practice. Engelman said she was excited to see the offense catch up to Goodrich's quick style of play and knew the team would be better for it.
Engelman said Goodrich caught Sutherland off guard in their first season practice. With a momentarily lapse of attention, Sutherland laughed as she explained how she nearly missed a pass from Goodrich, even though she should have known it was coming.
"I went to the spot I was supposed to go in, but my hands weren't really ready," Sutherland said. "Luckily, I've got fast reflexes, though, so I caught it."
Sutherland may have been lucky once, but she said she won't count on it in the future. She said Goodrich told her she needed to be ready for that pass and she planned to from then on. She is ready to make more of an impact this year than she was able to last season.
Having Goodrich back on the court made her confident that she would be able to do so. She said Goodrich's ability to spread
the floor for both posts and guards made her a threat the team needed to advance to the NCAA tournament rather than the NIT.
"A ng el pretty much makes it easier for anybody," Sutherland said.
"I just lost concentration at the end," Sutherland said. "It's a mental thing for me, I just need to stay mentally prepared. Coach has been pounding that into me, 'Stay consistent, stay consistent.'"
Sutherland showed considerable potential early last season, but hit a rough patch in the latter third. Though she earned back-to-back double doubles in November, she reached 10 or more points only twice in the last 11 games. She said she learned from last year's inconsistency and has worked hard this offseason to make sure she did not repeat that performance.
Sutherland averaged 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds last year, but said she hoped to see those numbers go up after all her work with Verdi. She ranked second on the team in rebounding and said that would always be her number one role, but hoped to be an active offensive threat by finding gaps for mid-range jumpers. Sutherland said she hoped to average at least 10 points per game and to achieve "more than a few" double-doubles, but was glad to have Carolyn Davis there to pick up the slack.
"Her quickness makes up for anybody messing up"
"She brings a lot of energy, her finishing around the rim, everyone just gets excited about it," Sutherland said. "She'll make it even if you foul her, it's amazing the kind of power she takes it up with."
"We have great freshmen and we have people that know what we need to get done, so I'm expecting to have a great season."
With Goodrich recovered and ready to take the floor, Davis coming off of a record-setting season. Engelman having a consistent out-

WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 8)
Kelly, a Lincoln native, averaged 12.6 points per game last season while playing 24.6 minutes per contest. She'll be joined by sophomore guard Lindsey Moore, who averaged 28 minutes per game last season while averaging 6 points. Head coach Connie Yori welcomes in a highly touted recruiting class highlighted by forward Jordan Cooper, who Yori claims as "one of the best players to ever come out of our state." Cooper looks to replace the void in the post left by Montgomery and Griffin. The Cornhuskers open the season at home against Pittsburg State on Oct. 31.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS (27-11, 11-5)
Vs. Kansas: Noon, Jan. 23.
Lawrence
Key Losses: Amanda Thompson,
Abi Olajuwon, Nyeshia Stevenson
Key Newcomers: Aaryn Ellenberg
and Nicole Griffin
Breakdown: The Jayhawks will face the Oklahoma Sooners on Jan. 23. Oklahoma was predicted to finish third in the regular season by conference coaches in the Big 12 Women's basketball coaches preseason poll.
Oklahoma ended the season ranked No. 3 in the final ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll. It ended its season in the national semifinals. The Sooners lost three seniors to the 2010 WNBA Draft in Amanda Thompson, Abi Olajuwon
and Nyeshia Stevenson. Thompson was an All-Big 12 First Team and Academic All-Big 12 Second Team member. Thompson also served as a team captain for three seasons and became the first Sooner to record 250 assists, 100 blocks and 100 steals in a career. She ended her career with 1,202 points and 940 rebounds.
The Sooners will return State Farm Coaches' All-American Danielle Robinson and 2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Whitney Hand, who tore her ACL after five starts last season. Oklahoma will also introduce six new athletes this season including Aaryn Ellenberg and Nicole Griffin who were both high school All-Americans.

OKLAHOMA STATE COWGIRLS (24-11, 9-7)
Key Newcomers: Tiffany Bias,
Vicky McIntyre
Vs. Kansas: 7 p.m., Feb. 23,
Stillwater, Okla.
Key Losses: Andrea Riley, Tegan Cunningham
Breakdown: It will be tough for the Cowgirls to replace their top two scorers from last year's team, Andrea Riley and Tegan Cunningham. Riley led the Cowgirls with 26.7 points per game. Oklahoma State is coming off a second round NCAA Tournament appearance, and they hope to get back this year. Questions remain on whether the team can replace its huge loss in scoring with
its top returning rebounders and scorers, Precious Robinson and Toni Young. Robinson and Young look to pick up where Riley and company left off as they head this year's crew. It could be a tough year for Oklahoma State as it is projected to finish eighth in the Big 12. The biggest matchup for the Cowgirls will be when they face-off against highly ranked Baylor and Texas A&M. The key to this year's season will be whether or not someone can step in and replace the giant scoring void left by last year's senior class.
TEXAS LONGHORNS (22-11,10-6)
Vs. Kansas: 2 p.m., Feb. 5, Austin,
Texas
Key Losses: Erika Arriran, Kristen Nash, Brittaine Raven
Breakdown: With the graduation of Brittainey Raven, the team's leading scorer, and two other seniors, the addition of five freshmen makes the Longhorns a considerably younger team. The biggest asset that the team boasts this year is Kathleen Nash. The senior from Plano, Texas, averaged 11.7 points per game last year, the second highest total on the team (Brittainey Raven: 14.3 points per game). Nash has already earned a preseason All-Big 12 honorable mention, along
Key Newcomers: Chelsea Bass, Chassidy Fussell, Anne Marie Hartung, Shanice McKoy, Tiffany Moore
with junior teammate Ashleigh Fontenette. After losing in the first round of the NCAA Division I tournament, the Longhorns are looking to rebound from the disappointing end by returning the tournament for the third time in the last five years. Texas placed fourth in the Big 12 preseason poll behind Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Baylor.
Blake Schuster
TEXAS A&M AGGIES (28-8.10-6)
Vs. Kansas: / p.m., Feb. 12, College Station, Texas
Key Losses: Tanisha Smith, Damitria Buchanan
Key Newcomers: Karla Gilbert, Krista Grant, Kelsey Bone
Breakdown: Texas A&M's women's basketball team will look to build on last year's season. It had its third Big 12 Championship and fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
The season ended abruptly, however, in the second round of the NCAA tournament with a one point loss to Gonzoga. The team went 26-8 in the season and 10-6 in the conference.
A game that is sure to stick out in senior Danielle Adams' mind. The 6-foot-1 forward/center from Kansas City, Mo., was just named to the Preseason All Big-12 team last Tuesday. She led the team in assists last season and averaged a team-leading 16.3 points per game.

Key Losses: Ashlee Roberson, Tilmila Martin, Jordan Murphee Key Newcomers: Haley Schneider, Antiesha Corners, Shauntaal Nobles Breakdown: The 2010-2011 Texas Tech women's basketball team started its season as it spent eight days in Canada. The team won all four games during the tournament and all 15 players were able to suit up for the game. Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry has a lot to prepare for as the team is returning eight letter winners and has added seven newcomers to the roster. Texas Tech will return three starters, which were among the eight letter winners from last year. Kiera Mallard, Jordan Barncastle and Monique Smalls will return to the team. Mallard averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds during the 29 games played in last year's season. Smalls finished the season last year with a team-high of 135 assists, which is the second best all-time for a Texas Tech freshman.

Tyrel Reed balances basketball and off-court career
Senior guard focuses on physical therapy internship
BY MIKE LAVIERI

Tyrel Reed won't be strolling down Jayhawk Boulevard much this fall.
The senior guard is doing a physical therapy internship at OrthoKansas, 1112 W 6th St., during the fall semester.

Reed
said. "I have to be done around noon or one so I can get to practice."
Reed goes to his internship Monday through Friday.
He said that getting up early makes him feel
like an old man, but he is getting used to it.
Reed especially likes being a student without having homework to do at night or have tests to study for.
The internship accounts for all 12 credits of his courseload this semester.
"It's basically taking four classes that are three hours a piece," Reed said.
Reed must complete 600 hours of work to receive the credits.
He completed a lot of the hours during the summer to lighten the load this semester.
Reed thinks not having the stress of school will keep his mind freer so he can focus on basketball.
However, coach Bill Self thinks the internship will have the same affect as if Reed was taking class.
"He is going to spend the same number hours doing the internship as he does going to class," Self said.
Self praised Reed saying that he is a bright young man and that
Reed will graduate in December in 3 $ \frac{1}{2} $ years.
"Tyrel is so disciplined." Self said. "No matter what his schedule is, its not going to affect his basketball at all. He'll manage his time quite well."
Reed is one of four seniors and Self wants him to have a big year.
"No one deserves to have a big senior year more than he does," Self said.
But Self knows that putting up big numbers isn't Reed's main focus.
"What's most important to him is that our team has a great year," Self said. "If we do that, then he will feel great."
Junior Tyshawn Taylor and senior Brady Morningstar.
"He's an extremely hard worker," Self said.
Reed once again was the best-conditioned athlete after Self's "boot-camp."
Self says that Reed proclaims himself the team's best jumper with a 42-inch vertical.
Reed averaged 5.1 points in 15.6 minutes per game last season.
Those numbers should improve with it being Reed's last season as a Jayhawk.
He comes into the season with improved ball-handling and passing, which Self said makes him a more complete guard than he's ever been since he's been at Kansas.

BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com
The threats started when Sarah, a woman from Kansas City, Mo., started dating her first girlfriend when she was 16 years old. The threats weren't coming from her community or friends — they were coming from her girlfriend.
The abuse started almost right away. Her girlfriend threatened Sarah by saying she would tell Sarah's parents and church community about their sexual relationship. She also threatened Sarah's safety. Sarah said it took a while for her to understand that she was in an abusive relationship because her girlfriend never physically hit her.
"It's not the classic violence," Sarah said. "I struggled with identifying that our relationship was not OK."
Jessica Farmer, outreach and education coordinator at the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project, said domestic violence in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning, or LGBTQ, relationships is just as common as domestic violence in heterosexual relationships. She said that in one out of four relationships of all sexual orientations, people will experience acts of domestic violence.
Sarah's experience is an example of tactics of abuse other than physical that are used in LGBTQ relationships. Rachel Gadd-Nelson, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and director of educational outreach of Queers and Allies, said threats regarding sexuality, such as outing a person who has not shared his or her sexuality with friends and family, were common in abusive LGBTQ relationships.
When Sarah moved away to attend college in Atlanta, she said she promised herself she would never be in an abusive relationship again. That changed when she met a transgendered individual who was in the process of transitioning from female to male.
"Saying things like 'You're not queer enough' is incredibly damaging," Gadd-Nelson said.
Sarah's new relationship became abusive almost right from the start. She said he sped on the highway and forced her to take off her seat belt just to scare her. He threatened to hit her. He would hold her down and force her to perform sexual acts. And yet, Sarah didn't want to leave him.
"I thought I loved that person," Sarah said. "I thought if I did all of the right things, said the right things and tried
hard enough then it would get better. The thought of getting up and leaving broke my heart"
Sarah was a feminist, an activist and a victim of past violence, and taught students about domestic violence at her university. Because of this she was ashamed to talk to friends about her abusive relationship. She said she thought she should know better.
Gadd-Nelson said it was difficult for the LGBTQ community to admit that their relationships could be just as dysfunctional as heterosexual relationships.
"It's easier to talk about gay-bashing and the kind of violence that is happening against our community because it is something that can rally around," Gadd-Nelson said.

RESEARCH
Grant given for chlamydia cure
BY MEG LOWRY
mlowry@kansan.com
"In reality, that one million is actually only 30 percent of the people that actually have chlamydia," said P. Scott Hefty, assistant professor of molecular biosciences.
One million new cases of chlamydia were reported in the United States last year. In Kansas, 15- to 24-year-olds accounted for 74 percent of reported cases this year, and more than half of the cases reported in the nation.
Hefty received a $1.8 million grant from the National Institute of Health this year to further research chlamydia and its causes and treatments. Despite the prevalence of chlamydia worldwide, Hefty said he can count the number of scientists researching the gene regulation of the disease on two hands.
"Because 70 percent of people with chlamydia have no outward symptoms, they don't know they have it, and those cases go undocumented."
"Chlamydia isn't just a problem in the U.S., it's a problem worldwide," said Hefty. "It is the most common STD spread by bacterial infection by far."
there is evidence from tests preformed on pigs that the bacteria that causes chlamydia may be building a resistance to the antibiotic. Hefty is working to develop a new antibiotic to treat chlamydia.
Chlamydia is treated with an antibiotic called doxycycline, but
Sarah Kieweg, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is also working with Hefty. She is developing a gel that will help prevent women from contracting chlamydia to begin with.
The microbicide gel would be inserted into the vagina, preventing the transmission of chlamydia.
"The target market of the gel would be in countries where women don't have access to alternative methods like condoms, such as Africa. Even in the U.S. though, women don't always have that option," Kieweg said.
According to the Department of Health, the number of reported cases of chlamydia increased significantly last year by almost 14 percent. The Center for Disease Control now strongly advises that all sexually active women under 25 be screened yearly for chlamydia.
As part of a federally-funded initiative called the Kansas Infertility Prevention Project, clinics across the state are now

Prosecutors use "al-Qaida" to convict terrorists
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Lewin used the term more than 50 times
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The first Guantanamo detainee to face a civilian trial isn't accused of being a sworn member of al-Qaida at the time a U.S. embassy was bombed his native Tanzania, but that hasn't stopped prosecutors from mentioning the terror group — over and over.
In opening statements earlier this month at Ahmed Ghailani's trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney
Nicholas Lewin wasted little time before mentioning al-Qaida as he set the scene of the deadly attack in 1998.
A 2 1/2-ton truck bomb "has been sent to murder and to maim," he told jurors in federal court in Manhattan. "It's been sent by al-Qaida."
By the time he was done 30 minutes later, he'd said "al-Qaida" more than 50 times.
By comparison, at the 2001 trial of four other men convicted in the
plot, then-Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Butler mentioned al-Qaida fewer than half as many times in a significantly longer opening statement. Osama bin Laden was named more than 60 times, compared with eight mentions at the current trial.
The recent bombardment of al-Qaida references reflect the broad latitude prosecutors have been given to evoke terror groups' thirst for American blood.
At the earlier trial, prosecu
tors had the task of educating jurors about an unfamiliar threat. A decade later — with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks burned into the public's awareness — al-Qaida has become a terror brand name that prosecutors can exploit.
That advantage became especially important after a key government witness — a man who says he sold explosives to Ghailani — was barred from testifying because the CIA learned of the man's identity at a secret camp where Ghailani

Prosecutors allege Ghailani helped buy the truck used to bomb the Tanzania embassy and fit it with explosives. They say he also purchased TNT, as well as detonators used in both attacks.

Landlord clashes with student and city over homes
450 W. 26th St.
Midtown, NY 10030
At the address of 1736 Louisiana is the home of Brian Markowitz and five other KU seniors. Markowitz is heading a law suit against the landlord serena Heams who owns Rainbow Works, LLC.
BY STEPHEN
MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansas.com
Serina Hearn is smoking again.
She nights up after an hour of exploring her conflict with the city over its zoning laws and allegations made by a former tenant and current KU student.
Hearn and her husband, Tony Backus, live in what was once known as Briar Manor, an expansive Victorian-style home similar to the 25 houses the two have restored and now lease.
Their dining room table is blanketed by zoning maps, copies of KU student directory listings from half a century ago and books with pages she wants to show you.
The scene better befits a war room than a place for dining. Hearn has already said she feels like she's at war.
"This is the tip of the iceberg about the city undermining pre-existing uses of property that they would like us to have amnesia about." Hearn said.
She then flips to a page in a history book about Lawrence and points out a handbill from 1860.
Hearn said she has spent hours looking through old directories and making copies of selections from long ago. She is trying to provide evidence that her homes historically have been used by multiple families at a time.
THE CITY
Many of Hearn's properties, like 1736 Louisiana St., are zoned single-family, meaning no more than three unrelated people can live in the home. However, Hearn said that property has two dwellings with a kitchen in each and that six people should be allowed to live in it.
Brian Jimenez, codes enforcement supervisor for the city, previously told The Kansan that 1736 Louisiana St. is zoned as a single-dwelling residence. He said the city has given Hearn the opportunity to prove her actions (housing more
than three unrelated residents in the home) were not unlawful and that she has yet to do that. When contacted Monday, Jimenez said he had nothing to add on the matter.
THE INSPECTION
Brian Markowitz, a senior from Leawood, did not leave 1736 Louisiana St. in a happy mood. That's been clear — and at present, that's about where the clarity ends.
takes about where the clarity ends.
Markowitz said he and his roommates received an e-mail from the office of Rainbow Works LLC, Hearn's property management company, a few days before the city was to perform a safety inspection.
The March 2009 e-mail reads:
"Could you please not be at the house between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm during the inspection?" It goes on to say the air conditioning units from the attic bedrooms will be removed. That's not all Markowitz said was done to the house prior to inspection. In an Oct. 12 University Daily Kansan article, Markowitz said steps were taken to conceal the house's second dwelling.
"What the city does is they say they're coming to do a safety inspection, but what they're really coming to do is count heads," Hearn said.
Both Hearn and Backus refused to go into detail about those allegations, citing an ongoing dialogue with the city, but said they did anticipate Jimenez finding a second dwelling.
Added Backus, "We feel like they are making up the rules as they go along and we're afraid. We don't know what their motives are or where they're going so we're treading very carefully now."
The dispute between Markowitz and Hearn began when Markowitz's security deposit was not refunded. He said he and his roommates worked with family for three days to clean the home. Hearn said it was found to be filth upon the final walkthrough.
Trenda Reschke performed the walkthrough and said the tenants and some of their parents were
confrontational as she attempted to take notes.
She said she had to address their aggressiveness on more than one occasion. When they eventually went to sit on the porch, she overheard a furious Markowitz.
"I'm going to destroy her," Reschke remembers Markowitz saying in reference to Hearn. "If I don't get my deposit back, I'm going after her."
Markowitz said he wasn't even there that day.
THE BATTLE
"I showed you this because all you have to do is" replace the word 'student' in there, "Hearn said."
The handbill Hearn pointed to was handed out when a United States deputy marshal was going around Lawrence "negr hunting" in houses around the city.
The handbill ends with, "Know your rights and stand to them. He has no right to invade your castles."
The allusions don't end in the Civil War era.
"You've heard of ethnic cleansing urban renewal as ethnic cleansing," Hearn said. "Well, students aren't black or Hispanic but they're students."
Hearn said the city and organizations like the Oread Neighborhood Association — which will elect its members Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Plymouth Congregational Church
that they should be doing is saying we will support you restoring these houses," Hearn said. "Instead, all they do is beat us up. I'm right now the poster girl for this."
are trying to push students out in hopes that the properties zoned single family eventually give way to modern apartment complexes.

Sleepwalking man shoots self in knee
BOULDER, Colo. — Police say a Colorado man who told police he woke up to a "bang" and realized he suffered a gunshot wound to his knee likely shot himself while sleepwalking.
The Daily Camera reports that 63-year-old Sanford Rothman of Boulder told investigators he had no clear recollection of the incident early Tuesday. No one else was in Rothman's home at the time.
Boulder police Sgt. Paul Reichenback says Rothman keeps a 9mm handgun near his bed and takes prescription medication for pain. Police say no alcohol or illegal drugs played a role in the incident.
Rothman was treated at a hospital and released.
Longest captive snake dies at zoo
COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio zoo says the longest snake living in captivity has died.
The snake was named Fluffy. It held the Guinness World Record as the longest snake living in captivity. It was about as long as a moving van and as thick as a telephone pole. It weighed 300 pounds.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium says workers found the 24-foot python Wednesday morning dead from an apparent tumor.
The 18-year-old reticulated python had drawn large crowds since the zoo got it in 2007.
Reticulated pythons are named for the cross-hatching patterns on their skin and average 10 to 20 feet long. The largest recorded one was 32 feet, 9 1/2 inches long when it was killed in 1912 in Indonesia.

Board of Regents lowers credit hour requirements
Changes will be implemented differently in individual departments
BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com
The University and its schools have responded to last Thursday's decision by the Kansas Board of Regents to reduce the minimum number of credit hours required for a bachelor's degree. Instead of requiring 124 credit hours for graduation, the board has approved a reduction to 120 hours.
While this state requirement is effective immediately, the University of Kansas has not yet adopted the new minimum. The University will be working with each individual school to determine when, if and how to implement the rule.
Provost Jeffrey Vitter said the Regents' decision was made to keep Kansas' requirements in line with the majority of other state institutions across the country. Thirtynine other states have a 120-hour minimum and two others have considered adopting this requirement.
Danny Anderson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
said that many fields in the College will take on the 120 hour minimum after new approaches are reviewed and approved by faculty governance committees.
"We will be moving quickly to examine and implement appropriate changes." Anderson said.
For now, though, liberal arts and sciences students must fulfill the requirements currently approved for their degrees. Certain degrees require more than the minimum by the nature of the field, and that will not change.
Vitter said that the new requirements in some cases, however, may apply to current students retroactively if they choose to be governed by a later catalog.
Max Mickunas, a freshman from Atwood, hopes that the reduction will apply to him.
With fewer credits, it will mean less money spent, especially on textbooks. Mickunas said.
Anderson said this change will decrease tuition dollars for students, but it also means that the College will not have to spend money to provide these additional courses and programs, which saves
dollars.
Rick Ginsberg, dean of education, said that this will force the School of Education to try to limit the number of credit hours for graduation. Ginsberg doesn't have a sense yet, though, whether any education-specific hours will be cut.
cut.
"It will need to be determined by the faculty exactly where the reduced hours would come from," Ginsberg said.
This credit reduction is one of the recommendations that were offered by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's retention and graduation task force earlier this year to remove obstacles to timely graduation.
During the 2009-2010 academic year, 134 potential CLAS graduates, having completed between 120 to 123 hours, were denied degree certification due to the College's minimum requirement of 124. This demonstrates the potential effect of reducing the required number of credit hours, Vitter said.
new hires. Ann Brill, dean of journalism,
said that the School of Journalism will use the Regents' standards to
set minimum hours for students and is working with the administration to implement this.
"The change will likely improve our quality of education and is a good thing for students," Brill said.
good thing to.
Vitter said that the University's process for lowering the minimum requirement should take approximately three months. If the changes are made quickly, the new minimum would apply to incoming students in fall 2011.
The state's requirement was set at 124 in 2003 and had not been altered until now. The requirement of 124 at the University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, however, has not been changed since 1933, when it was increased in order to incorporate hygiene and physical education into the curriculum.
"These changes meet the demands of our age," Anderson said. "They will contribute to strategies that increase the value and quality of University of Kansas degrees."

University Governance will determine support for lowering the minimum requirement to 120 hours over approximately three months. if the process is done quickly, and changes could apply to incoming students in 2011.
Business: The school will consider how this change could affect its curriculum. It looks forward to University Senate discussions on the Regents decision and any recommendations that will amount from it.
CLAS: Many fields will take on the 120-hour minimum after new approaches are reviewed by faculty committees.
Education: The school plans to limit the overall number of credit hours. Faculty will determine where the reduced hours will come from.
Engineering: All undergraduate degree programs require more credit hours than this minimum requirement. At this point in time, the School of Engineering doesn't anticipate any changes in curriculum directly related to this rule change.
Journalism: The school will use the Regents' standards to set the minimum hours. It is working with the administration to implement the change.
Nursing: The faculty plans to discuss a change in the minimum number of credit hours required for the bachelor of science in nursing degree. Any changes would affect future students only. Social Welfare: The school plans to be in compliance with the Regents decision.
AWARENESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
She said when the community is smaller, a higher percentage of people will know about a person's relationship problems. She said a person feels alienated when so many others know about his or her personal problems, which made it difficult for victims to seek help.
At one point in Sarah's relationship, her partner threatened to kill her because he didn't believe she loved him enough. She said she decided enough was enough.
"Something had to give and it wasn't going to be my bones," Sarah said.
She said she reached out to an agency in her college town that worked with LGBTQ domestic
violence survivors. She said they helped her validate her experience and told her not to feel ashamed. At that moment, she said, she realized how unsafe her relationship was and how much she needed help.

"In retrospect, I think 'God, that wasn't love,'" Sarah said.

Gadd-Nelson said she thought there needed to be more resources for LGBTQ people in abusive relationships. KCAVP is the only resource center that focuses on the LGBTQ community from Chicago to Colorado, Farmer said. She said the community needs more resources that focus on issues in the LGBTQ community.
Regardless, Sarah said even if a person isn't sure if his or her relationship is abusive, the person should talk to someone.

"When it comes to STDs, people either don't want to know or they don't want to seek treatment," VandeVelde said. "Then the cycle just continues. Chlamydia just keeps getting passed on and on and on."
On average, one out of four college students who are tested for STDs will test positive. The number of chlamydia cases reported in Douglas county last year was 209. However, this is extremely inaccurate, VandeVelde said, because they are not reported to the state of Kansas if the student is not a Kansas resident.

Halloween celebration options available for students
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
Sam Callan has witnessed Halloween in Lawrence his whole life. He's seen the parties. He's seen the beer. He's gotten dressed up, and he's gone trick-or-treating. Now a freshman at the University of Kansas, he works at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., and is preparing for its annual Halloween costume contest.
Halloween weekend is full of choices for those costume-crazed students who are looking for a good time. Some are long-standing traditions, while others try to break out of the mold.
"The bars are always popular." Callan said.
Abe and Jake's Landing will host a costume contest Saturday. It has held a costume contest for 10 years, but this year it is giving out $4,000 in cash for the best costumes.
Ryan Lantz, manager of Abe and Jake's, said this year definitely
upped the ante concerning the amount of money being given out. There are four categories in Abe and Jake's costume contest: best group, best male costume, best female costume and the most creative costume. There will be one overall winner, who will receive $1,500.
The remaining $2,500 will be split up among the winners of the other three categories.
"It's one of the biggest events of the year," Lantz said.
Many students look for other places to spend their night. Jase Archer, a senior from Overbrook, said he never has trouble finding a house party to go to.
Archer is justified in thinking this. Lantz said that Abe and Jake's usually reaches capacity for the Halloween party.
One alternate option is the annual Mountain Dewds' Halloween party at 1115 Tennessee St. The Mountain Dewds have thrown

"I think a lot of people get tired of the whole 'drinking is a part of college culture' idea," Lauridsen said.
The residents do not allow alcohol inside the house but allow people who have been drinking to go in and dance. Lauridsen said
they usually get between 300 to 500 guests each year.
However, this year Halloween falls on Sunday, which isn't the ideal day to bring a crowd into a bar or a house party. Many bars, such as Abe and Jake's and The Cave at The Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., are holding their events on Saturday. The Cave is having a $500 cash prize for its costume contest.
One bar is not worried about a crowd showing up for some fun on Sunday. The Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., has held a Halloween party and costume contest for more than 15 years. Manager Chris Neverve hopes the tradition will overpower an off day for the bar.
"We're busy Saturday night anyway," he said. "We're trying to make Sunday the same."
The Red Lyon Tavern will also have a prize of about $100.

Museum x-rays Civil War dolls for traces of medicine
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Two Civil War-era dolls thought to have been used to smuggle medicine past Union blockades were X-rayed Wednesday, disclosing hollowed papier-mache heads that once could have contained quinine or morphine for wounded or malaria-streken Confederate troops.
The 150-year-old dolls, dubbed Nina and Lucy Ann, were likely packed with the drugs and shipped from Europe in the hope that Union troops would not inspect toys when looking for contraband, a museum official said.
Nina and Lucy Ann were taken to VCU Medical Center from their home next door, The Museum of the Confederacy, to see if the contours inside their craniums and upper bodies were roomy enough to carry the medicines.
The conclusion: yes.
The next step could be forensic testing for any traces of the drugs.
The dolls were given to the museum by donors who said they were used to smuggle medicine past Northern blockades to Southern troops.
Nina was donated to the museum in 1923 by the children of Gen. James Patton Anderson, who commanded the Tennessee Army of the Confederacy. She has red felt boots.
Lucy Ann, attired in a salmon-colored cape and dress, was given to the museum in 1976 by an anonymous donor. She is adorned with a coral necklace.
Lucy Ann has an open gash on the rear of her bonneted head, possibly made when its contents were emptied. Nina was likely disassembled then stitched back together.
Museum officials believe the dolls were in fact used for smuggling in the Civil War.
"In all of the research that I have been able to do, these are the only two confirmed smuggling dolls that I've been able to find," said Catherine M. Wright, collections manager at the museum. The X-rays were conducted as part of the museum's continuing research of its vast Confederate holdings, believed to be the largest in the U.S.
"People have been so interested in children's toys and dolls from the Civil War in general," she said. "The smuggling aspect is very captivating."
Wright carried the dolls, each 2 to 3 feet long, in a box to the radiology department of the hospital.
Registered technologist Lanea Bare gently placed each doll on the X-ray table, taking images of each facing up, then on their sides. Ghostly images were then displayed on a screen in the busy radiology department, drawing stares and wise cracks from passing doctors and technicians as the dolls lay neatly back in their box.
"Looking here, this looks like

Confederacy.
One theory is that they were purchased in Europe, then shipped to a Southern port with the medicines stuffed in their heads to avoid detection by the North's blockade of Southern ports.
"The idea behind the smuggling dolls is that even if a ship was boarded and searched, it was unlikely that they were going to do such a thorough search that they would find this medication hidden inside of dolls," Wright said.
The blockade from 1861 until 1865 was intended to thwart the delivery of arms, soldiers and supplies such as medicine to the South. Rhett Butler, the fictional rogue in Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind," was a blockade runner.
A well-known illustration from the period shows a woman tying bundles of medication under her hoop dress for delivery to Confederate troops, Wright said.

quite would be pressed into pills for Sout her n troops, Wright said.
Malaria was widespread among Union and Confederate troops. Some 900,000 Union troops contracted malaria during the war, leaving 4,700 dead, according to the "Medical and Surgical History of the Civil War."
Statistics for Southern troops were not compiled but malaria was probably more widespread, said Robert Krick, park historian at the Richmond National Battlefield Park.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
if you split your attention now, you seem to get a lot more done. However, part of what you do will need to be redone. Do one thing at a time.

Batman director announces title of trilogy film
LOS ANGELES-
FILM
Christopher Nolan's third Batman film will be called "The Dark Knight Rises" and though the Gotham City auteur isn't ready to reveal the villain of his 2012 film, he did eliminate one of the big contenders: "It won't be the Riddler," Nolan said in an exclusive interview.
Nolan was most eager to talk about the fact that Warner Bros. had agreed with his argument that the film should resist the
current 3-D craze and instead use high-definition approaches and IMAX cameras to strike out on a different cinematic path than the stereoscopic technology that, for better or worse, has become the dominant conversation in the blockbuster sector.
As for the title, it shows the writer-director's intention to keep his Bruce Wayne trilogy tightly stitched together.
What if Nolan somehow brings back Harvey Dent? The only reason I even mention it is because, back during postproduction on the second film, Nolan told me that the title "The
Dark Knight" was just as much about Dent and his fall from the status of shining-knight civic crusader. Dent was plainly dead at the end of the last film, though, and Nolan has been intent on keeping his Gotham City film firmly rooted in a gitty, gangland realism — this isn't a franchise that has veered off into the supernatural or even much super-science.
As with "Dark Knight," the new film has a script written by Nolan and his brother, Jonah, and it's based on a story by the director and David Goyer.

EDITORIAL
Equality achieved, lost as struggle continues
For a brief moment recently, gay men and women were granted equality in the United States armed forces. On Oct.12, a federal judge ordered an immediate halt to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy. On the following day, enforcement stopped.
The opportunity that the end of the ban provided was most acutely illustrated by Dan Choi, a lieutenant in the army and an Iraq war veteran. Choi was discharged after saying he was gay. On Oct 13, however, Choi walked into a Times Square recruiting station and started the process of re-enlisting.
That moment of opportunity was quickly dashed, however, when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an injunction against the policy last Wednesday, reinstating the ban, at least temporarily, during the appeals process.
It's unfortunate that the ban could not remain suspended while the judicial process moved forward. Although brief, the few days without DADT did not produce any of the nightmare scenarios that its supporters sometimes claim would occur if the ban was lifted. The military continued to function. "Unit cohesion" was not threatened.
More unfortunate, albeit somewhat understandable, was the Justice Department's decision to appeal the end of DADT. It is customary for the government to defend existing laws in court, which meant that ending DADT was quickly appealed. The executive branch of the government is charged with enforcing and carrying out laws passed by Congress and defending DADT is part of that process. Administrations should not be able to decide which laws it will or will
Nevertheless, this puts President Obama's government in the politically-awkward position of defending a law while simultaneously opposing it. Welcome steps, however, have been taken in minimizing the impact of DADT. Going forward only five military officials will now be responsible for discharging service members who violate the policy.
DADT may not truly end, though, until Congress repeals the law. Students must continue to pressure their representatives and senators to support repeal. The chance for legislative repeal may look slim, but it still represents the single best and effective way to end the discriminatory policy once and for all.

GUEST COLUMN
Race doesn't exempt from responsibility
I am brown, Muslim and Pakistani.
You'd think those credentials would normally make me immune from terrorist attacks, considering it is widely believed that most terrorists are also brown, Muslim and Pakistani.
Unfortunately, the war on terror, and terror itself, is all but normal. This is the story of a Pakistani struggling with that abnormality. The more we try to simplify the situation, the less we have in our arsenal against extremist ideology. The best I can do in this column is complicate things for you, since grappling with confusion is better than settling for simplification.
As much as most modern Pakistanis distance themselves from an extremist ideology, it only takes a trip to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport to remind me that we will remain connected to the so-called "fundamentalist tendencies" back home. After all the time I've spent there, the secondary inspection room is no longer something that I need to get used to. It has already become a place to catch up on reading and meet other people who are also perhaps missing their connecting flights and have a headache. The poor pilots aren't even spared.
"Did you go anywhere but Pakistan?" an officer asked me last December. "No," I said. "Have you ever been in a military?" "Have you ever owned a firearm?" Similar replies. This September, the whole charade lost its drama. The wait, much longer, was now quite anticlimatic. All they wanted to know was whether I lived on
We Pakistanis make jokes about everything. We learn ways to tune out all that goes on around us. Does that make me an innocent bystander? Or does that make me guilty of ignorance?
I've lived in Pakistan for 20 years now. The last few have been turbulent, perhaps dangerous. But I've never witnessed an attack first-hand. Does that mean I'm not from the Pakistan most people imagine? Does that mean I'm elite (or elitist) or just plain lucky?
campus. "All that waiting for nothing?" I thought. "At least give me some credit for the hippie garb I'm trying to pull off. Heck, even the Pakistani authorities send me to anti-narcotics until they realize I'm going to New York."
What do I make of the fact that these fighters, criminals (although heinous ones), are not granted the same rights that prisoners or combatants must be in all other situations? What are we to say about the people who are unfortunate enough to live in the same village as one of these "terrorists" and are killed in an unsactioned drone strike that was meant to eliminate the "threat"?
A few days ago, one of my father's colleagues was gunned down because of his continued public criticism of the extremist philosophy. He had been under threat, he knew what was coming, but he kept going, trying to get his word across. This was a great loss to the moderate cause and to humanity in general.
Does that episode make me more of a bystander? Or perhaps more of a victim?
Sure, our president is far enough from the reality of things to say that collateral damage does not worry him, but should that prompt us to forget the values that our country holds and apply separate standards to some segment of our citizenry?
What used to be sacred places are now battlegrounds. Every Thursday night, Sufi worshippers will worry whether they will come out alive from their shrines. The army, the police and the government are threatened, as are foreigners at times, but the individual citizen now bears the brunt of the threat. Every Friday, we no longer hug each other as we go to prayer; we pat each other down. Who knows where that suicide vest is hiding?
Dialogue in the United States about Pakistan, and about the Muslim world in general, is oversimplified. There are no dichotomies. Muslims are often the "other" in most discussions in this part of the world. Every now and then I hear how many Americans have never met a Muslim or a Pakistani but would like to meet one. And every now and then I hear a Pakistani saying that there's only so much they can do — of course a Pakistani will try to present the other side of Pakistan, but everyone's sick of that story.
I am brown, Muslim and Pakistani, and I'm confused. I hope you are too.
-From UWire, Zeerak Ahmed for The Daily Princetonian at Princeton University.

Sunday isn't fun day
This year Halloween again falls on a Sunday And if I remember
again fans on a Sunday And if I remember correctly what happened the last time Halloween was on a Sunday and I was of trick-or-treating age (1999, the year we had it all — "All That" that is) we ended up trick-or-treating in the town next to ours on Saturday and our town on Sunday.
In all honesty, I'm pretty sure my Mom got tired and we ended up only going on Saturday. I was raised an atheist, so I wasn't quite sure what was going on.
This year Halloween is on a Sunday again. Since The University of Kansas did not have the decency to give us a day off on Nov. 1 (also known as Christmas Commercial Day), most Halloween parties this weekend will take place on the 30th and 31st.
However, it's not just us. Many children around the United States will be trick-or-treating on Saturday the 30th instead of the 31st. That's right Sunday has won again.
When will Sunday stop its reign of terror? In history, Sunday has been evil for years. My mother told me the tale of one of Sunday's murders when I was only a child.
Wonderland, an amusement park on an island in Wichita, Kansas, may sound a lot like a farfetched fairy tale I mean, a place called "Wonderland" in Wichita, Kansas? But the story is true! Wonderland was built in 1905 and it featured a rollercoaster, a carousel, a theater, and other attractions. The theater showcased many popular vaudeville and musical acts like the Marx Brothers and John Philip Sousa.
In 1918, Sunday loomed over the horizon like the foggy, devil's day it was. Laws were put in place in Wichita in 1918 that disallowed businesses to
Oddities
BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL
operate on Sundays. The Sunday theater performances were key to Wonderland's revenue, so it closed down. In other words, Sunday destroyed "Wonderland."
I shudder now when I think about the joy that Sunday smothered,but folks,it's not done there. There are still many businesses so terrified of Sunday they close early or all day.I've never been quite sure why Sunday hates us,the human race,so much.
With research I found that Sunday's only a day of the week that we created, and there's no way it could destroy the fun of others on its own. I also found a horror that may shock you all. A zombie named Jesus rose from his grave on Sunday nearly 2000 years ago! I can only assume that people lock up their shops and stay inside all day on Sunday because they fear he and his zombie friends will come for them as well.
So, maybe it is a good thing that kids aren't out this Halloween on Sunday. The last thing we'd want is Sunday and the great zombie Jesus to ruin Halloween for everyone! But, on the other hand, I think taking this sitting down isn't right. So if you have children, prepare them in case zombies rear their ugly heads this Halloween. We have to take Sunday back - like that band tried to so many years ago. Don't let Jesus ruin Halloween for you!

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
Chatterbox
"Contrary to popular belief, if you get run over by a bus on campus you do not get free tuition. You'll probably be dead."
The amount of carelessness that students on campus take when walking across Jayhawk Blvd, baffles me. I've seen so many close calls at work (either when I was driving, or someone else was) that it continues to baffle my mind that we don't have a serious accident every week on campus!
Safety is giving yourself enough time and space to compensate for others' mistakes. People on campus do not seem to understand that basic concept, even though we are an institution of higher learning. Remember when driving to stay alert and keep your focus on driving. Leave extra room for that text messenger in the lane next to you. When you are a pedestrian, pause your phone conversation or text message to listen for vehicles and look for bicyclists. Take extra time to look at your surroundings and be aware of vehicles that could be crossing your path. Take a few extra moments for safety-it could save your life or someone else's.

It's a chilly Tuesday night and all is calm in the garage of the Wakarusa Township Fire Station. Fifteen students sit in neat rows of four while they listen to the first part of what will become a three and a half hour lecture on fire hoses and knots. The peace is quickly broken though, when their teacher, Amanda Britain, looks up from her book and says, "Gear Test."
"Gear tests are pretty fun," said Dillon Brown, a customer supervisor at the KU Bookstore. "For a real fire, minutes count and we need to be able to go as fast as possible."
In a flash, the students are up and racing across the garage toward their firefighting gear. They now have a minute to put on their shoes, pants, coats, gloves, face masks and helmets and to get ready for their oxygen tanks.
After one minute, a few students are still fumbling for loose straps and have yet to put on helmets.
"Let's do it again," says Lieutenant Greg Anderson.
Brown is just one of four University-affiliated individuals
who are enrolled in the Wakarusa Township's Volunteer Firefighter Program. The four-month long course meets twice a week and every other Saturday for four hours at a time to learn the technical, analytical and physical skills necessary to become a firefighter.
We usually have lectures during the week and then put what we learn to use on Saturday," said Becca Burwinkle, a senior from Overland Park.
education department.
"I learned that baseball bat swings are not an appropriate way to break a window," laughed Rafael Sanchez, an Administrative Associate with the School of Pharmacy. "Shards of glass probably wouldn't be the best thing if someone was trying to escape on the other side."
Forcible entry was the topic of last Saturday's class. For hours the students sawed, drilled and smashed their way into a special trailer provided by the University's community education department.
Program leaders warn that while it is fun, the high cost and time commitment are not for everyone.
"Almost every year we'll get people who sign up for the program and then realize that the time commitment is just too much," said
Chris Moore, chief of the Wakarua Township. "There is a lot of work like reading assignments or volunteering that can only happen outside of the classroom."
Readings require the students to memorize different knots, gauges, hoses and much more.
"You have to learn it," Burwinkle said. "PeopleLS lives depend on it."
Over the last four to five years. Lieutenant Greg Anderson notes there have been 100 to 115 deaths for firefighters in the line of duty.
"The majority of those that occurred were volunteer firefighters," Anderson said. "We have to stress to them to work as hard, as if they were firefighters who did this as a career."
Learning these skills is important for the students as well.
Despite the hard work and risk involved in becoming a volunteer; for these 15 people, the benefits will outweigh the risks.
"Right now I'm working towards a dream of mine I've had my whole life," Brown said. "There aren't many careers where your job is to help people."

BROTHERLY LOVE
A bulkier, more versatile Markieff
Morris hopes to leave his brother's shadow, become a force down low
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDkasketball
Pick up the college basketball preview issue of any national publication. Flip to the Kansas page. In all likelihood, there sits yet another Marcus Morris profile, and rightfully so. The junior forward was the most consistent player in a Kansas uniform last year and has, by all accounts, taken big steps forward in the offseason.
"Keef became a monster over the summer," he said. "Keef is going to surprise a lot of people. Nobody really got a chance to really see him come out because he always had Cole in front of him."
But in the shadows of that spotlight lurk Morris' frontcourt mates, perhaps most notably his twin brother and newly-listed center Markieff. Marcus is the first to tell you not to forget about his brother.
Markieff — or Keef, as friends and teammates call him — has bulked up over the summer to 6-foot-10 and 245 pounds (from 6-9, 232). The weight gain is most noticeable when the twins stand next to each other. Marcus has a fluid, athletic look to him, while Markieff's shoulders are a bit broader and his neck resembles a roedeo bull's more
PAGE 1B
than a basketball player's thick and full of muscle.
"He's got a really nice body," coach Bill Self said. "He's got some things that are really hard to guard from a move standpoint and
a size standpoint, I think he's finally understanding how to use his body in relationship to what he's got"
His role will likely change from an inside-out style player to a more pure post with the departure of Cole Aldrich, who led the layhawks in rebounding and blocked shots last year. Someone will have to fill that role for the layhawks, and for the moment it appears that burden lies on Markieff.
"I know the big fella's not here," he said.
weight gives him the versatility to play a power or finesse game and it could benefit him against a variety of defensive matchups.
With the size and role change comes a more well-developed post ip game. Markieff said the added
"It depends on the opponent," Markieff said. "If it's a strong guy I'll step outside. If it's a smaller guy, I'll put him in the basket."
Self said Markieff's biggest development has been in his inside game, where he has worked with assistant coach Danny Manning — also the best post player not named Wilt Chamberlain to ever play at Kansas — to develop his offensive repertoire.
"He's got good touch on the ball from range." Self said, "but he's become more of a play player to me. He understands that he can score on the block."
That's not to say he can't still hit the outside shot. Markieff was a 53 percent shooter from three-point range last year, and Self said he take more than the 19 attempts that he took last year. Since he came to Kansas, the Jayhawks have won nine of the 10 games in which he's made at least one three-pointer.
"Keef became a monster over the summer. Keef is going to surprise a lot of people."
Thomas Robinson, who will slide into Markieff's role of first big
"He'll shoot more threes this year," Self said, "because he'll play more. But he doesn't need to fall in love with it."
MARCUS MORRIS junior forward
off the bench, said he sees a different type of improvement.
KANSAS KU
"He's smarter," Robinson said. "He's always been a smart player, but right now I feel like he's a veteran when
it comes to this. He knows stuff. He thinks 10 times faster."
If what the twins say is true, they won't have to think faster around each other. Marcus said there is a connection between them on the court that helps them understand where the other is at all times, even if the fans or coaches can't see it.
“It's going to be passes that some people don't think that I know it's there that Keef's going to catch and dunk,” Marcus said. “It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun to watch us play together.”

Excuses won't be necessary very soon
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kqier@kansan.com
The traditional counterargument of "wait until basketball season" has never truly ended an argument. It is similar to chanting "overrated" when a team defeats a higherranked and supposedly more talented team.
Both of these thoughts insinuate that a fan's team is not talented enough to defeat whichever team they just lost to, or that it would not have been able to beat its opponents if they were as talented as the nation thought. The first argument is the weakest because it only puts up a smokescreen and deflects attention to another sport when a losing team can no longer be defended.
Kansas football has produced opportunities for both of these arguments with its shocking victory against Georgia Tech and subsequent losing streak. The Jayhawks have had tough seasons in the past, including last year, but the lack of hope seems different this year.
Maybe the pessimism is simply due to the Jayhawks' poor 2-5 record and their winless Big 12 streak. Or maybe it stems from the uncertainty around a new coach who was advertised as a miracle worker, but turned out to be just a man who still struggles to motivate college athletes and lead them to success. Even more disappointing was Kansas' failure to defeat in-state rival Kansas State. No loss hurts more than a rivalry game — you can ask athletes at any level and they'd probably agree. The main issue becomes pride, and once that is injured, it is one of the hardest to rehabilitate.
As we see the start of men's basketball on Tuesday, there will be added pressure on the program. Not that they can't handle it, but there will certainly be pressure after a disappointing football season. This campus thrives on victory. After all, the recruiting slogan is "Kansas: A great place to be a champion." Now that Bill Self has given this generation a taste of a championship, expectation increases to new levels for the basketball team.
Rivalries will be especially interesting for Kansas this year. The football team lost to Kansas State and is expected to lose to Missouri when they play on Nov. 27.
But when you turn to basketball, there will also be a challenge. For the first time, Kansas State is picked to finish ahead of Kansas at the end of the regular season, a result that would snap Kansas' six-year streak of regular season titles.
The fans should support the football team in their efforts the rest of the season and show up in force for the Border Showdown at Arrowhead, but they should remember that this team is not without challenges. There is a new coach in his first year at a program where he has not yet brought in a recruiting class. Football will get better, but in the meantime there is a basketball season to watch, and the Jayhawks will taste victory again on the court and take back the pride that comes with defeating their closest rivals.

Two more suspects arrested in Columbia
JENNINGS, Mo. — Authorities have arrested two more suspects in last weekend's killing of the cousin of a Missouri football player in Columbia.
KSDK-TV reports that brothers Darris Peal and Daron Peal were taken into custody Wednesday in Jennings near St. Louis on charges of second-degree murder and armed robbery.
Investigators already had arrested three suspects in the killing Saturday of 22-year-old Aaron Hobson while he was in Columbia to watch a cousin play in the Missouri-Oklahoma game.
A memorial service for Hobson will be at 4 p.m. Friday in Wichita, Kan., where his funeral is scheduled for Saturday.
Neither Darris Peal of Columbia nor Doran Peal of Moberly have listed home telephone numbers.

MORNING BREW
With NBA predictions, the Brew's history doesn't look too shabby. Last season, Tyreke Evans was indeed rookie of the year. The Celtics did face the Lakers in the final, Chris Bosh would be joining Dwayne Wade in Miami. However, forecasting LeBron's decision, the finals' outcome and Blake Griffin's rookie season were some true misfires. With a fresh season upon us, the Brew will predict the regular season standings, playoff outcome and award recipients with corresponding analysis.

(4) Chicago Bulls over (5) Milwaukee Bucks Analysis. No real surprises here, as there is such a clear talent difference between the first four teams and the second teams. With Carlos Boozer in Chicago (when healthy),
I don't see Derrick Rose losing to Brandon Jennings, Andrew Bogut and the Bucks.
Only John Wall has the ability to create a surprise playoff team.

(2) Boston Celtics over (3) Orlando Magic
Analysis: The Heat are too talented and the Celtics have done this before.

Analysis: Durant could push it to six or even seven games, but there's no way the Lakers don't win it.
NBA FINALS
(2) Boston Celtics over (1) Los Angeles Lakers
Analysis: Back to seven games, but the green get it this time. A Healthy Celtics starting five has never lost a playoff series. It feels like the 80's all over again.

Sacramento
Defensive Player of the Year: Dwight
Howard, Orlando
Sixth Man of the Year: Jason Terry, Dallas
Most Improved: Robin Lopez, Phoenix
Rookie of the Year: John Wall, Washington
Analysis:
Durant dethrones the king by leading a dangerous Thunder team. Westphal and his kids (Evans, Cousins) will surprise the West. I cannot wait to watch John Wall, who already looks like he's locked this award up. Turnovers could be his only kryptonite.

Self responded yesterday to media requests on the status of freshman Josh Selby. Selby is still not cleared to play.
"Josh's status
for competition hasn't changed," Self said in a release. "While he has met NCAA academic requirements to be on aid, practice and compete this year, we continue to work with the NCAA as we review his amateur status. We will not play Josh in games until that process is complete and a decision is rendered."
Self said the team is done talking about it until the NCAA has made their decision.

Cleveland OK without Lebron
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — LeBron's former team has already done something his new, super team in sunny Miami couldn't: Beat Boston.
Playing its first game in seven years without LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Celtics 95-87 in their season opener Wednesday night, a win that at least for one night gave local fans reason to believe that life will be OK minus the two time MVP
J. J. Hickson scored 21 points, Daniel Gibson added 16 — all in the second half — and the Cavaliers made several big, clutch plays to hold off the Celtics, who defeated James and the Miami Heat on Tuesday night.
Rajon Rondo scored 18, Paul Pierce 13, Ray Allen 12 and Kevin Garnett had 15 rebounds for
Boston, which led by 11 points in the third quarter but was outscored 27-14 in the fourth.
Gibson, who missed his first eight shots,
made four free throws in the final 17.2 sec-
ondes for Cleveland, dealt a devastating blow in July when James announced he was leaving as a free agent. The loss rocked a city that hasn't celebrated a pro sports championship since 1964 and triggered predictions the Cavaliers would slide back among the NBAs bottom dwellers.
Not just vet.
As the final seconds ticked off, Cleveland fans jumped for joy, owner Dan Gilbert pumped his fist and hugged those sitting near him, first-year coach Byron Scott smiled and confetti fell from the ceiling like it did so many times while James was around.
With the score tied 86-all, Cleveland's Anthony Parker drilled a 3-pointer with one tick left on the 24-second shot clock. Boston got a tip-in from Glen Davis, and during a timeout, the officials reviewed Parker's
No. 23 is gone, but hardly forgotten. He'll be back on Dec. 2, and Cleveland fans can't wait.

Missouri tops Kansas in three sets
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
missouri started strong on offense and out-blocked Kansas 13-8 Wednesday night to sweep the Border Showdown rematch in Columbia, Mo., with scores of 23-25, 21-25 and 26-28.
Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said all three of the sets were close.
"It was easy to let a couple of things go wrong, and you're right back to it being a tight score," she said.
Kansas' offense kept up with Missouri (14-8 overall, 6-6 BG 12) for most of the first set, where both teams hit with comparable efficiencies. Kansas managed a .333 hitting percentage while Missouri topped them at .342.
Toleffre led Kansas in that set with five kills.
In the second set, the Kansas offense ran into serious trouble. Kansas (13-10, 4-8) held a lead for the first half of the set, but when their lead reached 15-12, the momentum of the game reversed. Missouri answered with four unanswered points and carried the lead to end. Both teams saw their offensive numbers drop in the second set, but Kansas was the poorer for it. The Jayhawks hit for a 020 hitting percentage in the set, while the Tigers managed a team average of.111.
Missouri seniors Paola Ampudia and Juliana Klein and junior Brittney Brimage reached double-digit kills on Wednesday — 13, 11 and 10, respectively — while no Kansas players hit better
than nine. Missouri out-blocked Kansas and recorded three more than Kansas' 54 digs.
The third set came down to the wire, but ultimately went to the Tigers. Kansas was behind 17-20 when freshman middle blocker Caroline jarmoc served three aces in a row. Those points combined with senior outside hitter Karina Garlington's kill and a Missouri attack error gave Kansas the a 22-20 advantage. But Missouri scored three unanswered points to regain the lead at 23-22. The two teams went back and forth until Klein scored two kills and ended the match.
The middle blockers on the Kansas side had more success than the rest of the squad. Jarmoc had the team's second-best hitting efficiency, with .333 and the

"They were by no means an easy team - they were a team that we really needed to be good against," Tolefree said.
"We kind of put ourselves in a spot that we had to hit it into their hands. They did their part," she said.
She said the Missouri defense was boosted by good blocking.
Senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser contributed five kills and a career-high four blocks to the effort, while Garlington and Jarmoc led the team with nine kills each.
But, overall, the Jayhawks did not have a successful outing on offense; two players ended the match with negative hitting percentages and the team averaged 132 — much lower than usual.
Coach Ray Bechard credited Missouri with coming into the match with a good game plan.
their ability to block more balls than we did create some issues at the end of this game," he said. "We need to adjust a little bit better on the swings we were taking," he said. "And we were a little bit slow to do that tonight."
The Jayhawks return to Lawrence on Saturday to play Texas Tech.

Duncan, Ginobli lead Spurs in win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Indiana Pacers 122-109 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
Manu Ginobili scored 22 points for the Spurs, who blew an early double-digit lead and nearly their goal of starting strong in what could be the last season for their Big Three.
then big three.
Roy Hibbert led Indiana with 28 points and Danny Granger had 26. Darren Collison scored 19 points in his debut for the Pacers, who fell apart in the fourth quarter.
Tony Parker, starting the final year of his contract with the Spurs, had 20 points and nine assists.
No longer among the NBA favorites, the Spurs are mindful of beating the teams they should beat and not falling behind early in the West. San Antonio labored out of the gate with an overhauled roster last year and doesn't want to be so patient
to be so patient this time.
The Pacers, coming off a dreadful 32-win season, showed promise before squandering a close game. They erased an early 10-point deficit thanks
Ginobili gave the Spurs momentum for good with another 3-pointer.
But the Spurs pulled away in the fourth.
Collison was 7 of 13 and had seven assists. The Pacers hope they've found their point guard after years of shuffling at the position, acquiring the New Orleans point guard who filled in for Chris Paul when Hornets star was injured last season.
to Hibbert, who was 10 of 17 from the field, and carried a slim lead late into the third.
Ginobili was 5 of 9 from behind the 3-point line in a familiar Big Three-led win for the Spurs. How much longer the championship trio will be together is in doubt with Parker in the final year of his contract, though the star point guard has repeatedly said he wants to remain in San Antonio.
Unlike the Pacers, the Spurs didn't get to show off their prized new addition. Brazilian 7-footer Tiago Splitter watched from the bench in street clothes while continuing to nurse a calf sprain he got just three days into training camp.
The Spurs are mindful of beating the teams they should beat and not falling behind early in the West.
Richard Jefferson opened the final quarter with a 3-pointer from the corner, and after Mike Dunleavy missed two free throws that would have tied the game.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said before the game that Splitter would likely miss Saturday's game against New Orleans but would
probably play Monday at the Los Angeles Clippers.
"He's quite frustrated," Popovich said.
Even without Splitter, the Spurs still unveiled a
change in their frontcourt, starting DeJuan Blair at center. Blair was a 6-foot-7 spark plug off the bench as a rookie a year ago, but his debut as an opening-night starter was shaky.
Blair had nine points on just 2-of-9 shooting and three rebounds. He was the Spur's youngest opening-night starter since Parker was 20 in 2002.

FOOTBALL
Financial implications may play a role in scheduling
FBS schools pay FCS teams to play with varying results
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
North Dakota State Athletic Director Gene Taylor recognizes that Bison football is expected to be the patsy; an easy, early-season win for the opposition. He expects that was the case when Kansas scheduled North Dakota State for its opening game.
After losing to NDSU, 6-3, the Jayhawks managed to salvage a win against second-tier New Mexico State, 42-16. In all, Kansas paid more than $1 million to post a 1-1 record against what were to be two season-padding victories.
NDSU fared much better in the arrangement with Kansas. It not only won the game, but received a guarantee of $350,000 to travel to Lawrence. Taylor said $350,000 is a typical asking price for the Bison to play non-conference games against top NCAA schools.
A Football Championship Subdivision opponent looks like an easy win on any Football Bowl Subdivision team's schedule. That wasn't the case for KU this year when Larry Keating, Kansas senior associate athletics director, created the schedule, which is made two to four years in advance of the season. This season's schedule is a product of the Mark Mangino era. Current head coach Turner Gill has discussed scheduling with Keating for the 2011 season going forward.
Keating, who is in charge of scheduling for football as well as men's and women's basketball, has to schedule at least six home games a year. Four will come from the Big 12 schedule and the other two will be non-conference games — typically the home end of a home and home with a FBS team and a guaranteed game with a FCS team.
According to Keating, nonconference home games are not scheduled just for easy wins, but for financial reasons as well. Home games are profitable, particularly home openers that are expected to be victories.
In 2008, Kansas earned an average of about $1.36 million per game in ticket sales. The money goes directly to Kansas Athletics Inc.'s budget. Football has a budget that is for everyday expenses such as recruiting. In 2008, the football program's operating budget was about $17.7 million, which comprised of ticket sales, NCAA conference distribution and concessions.
"There is an operating budget for each sport, but it does not include grants and aid, travel and salaries and fringe benefits," said Susan Wachter, Kansas Athletics Inc. chief financial officer.
Part of the budget is used to offer a guarantee to a FCS school. A typical guarantee from Kansas for a FCS school is between $300,000 and $400,000, according to Keating.
On Sept. 25, the layhawks played FBS opponent New Mexico State and paid $700,000 for the Aggies to come to Lawrence.
Keating said a FBS school guarantee generally costs between $400,000 and $700,000. But that isn't always the case.
In the second home game this season, the Jayhawks hosted FBS opponent Georgia Tech. Next season, Kansas will reciprocate by traveling to Atlanta to play Tech. A "home-and-home" series usually exchanges a guarantee of about $150,000 to offset expenses, Keating said.
During a two-year period, two guaranteed games will net more money than a home-and-home
series. Having those games gives the home team an advantage.
The team paying the guarantee doesn't guarantee them a win a home, but history is usually on the favorite side.
FBS teams have a combined 842-104 (.890) record against FCS teams since 1996. The Big 12 is 88-3 (.967) in that time period.
Taylor knows his schools couldn't compete week in and week out with FBS schools.
"We don't have the allocation of scholarships like Division I-A," Taylor said.
However, the games against FBS teams are more beneficial to the Bison's athletic department.
"We make a little more with a guarantee than a home game," Tavlor said.
For NDSU, early-season guaranties generate more revenue than its home game. The Bison will earn about $100,000 to $150,000 per home game. The money they receive is also figured into NDSU's athletic department budget and does not go directly back to the football program. NDSU does not list the financial information on its athletics website.
The Bison try to schedule guaranteed games regionally. Taylor said this is because this is based on the fans — Bison fans travel well.
North Dakota State usually tries to schedule games in the region. It has played Minnesota (twice), Iowa State, Ball State, Wyoming and Central Michigan since 2006. NDSU is 4-3 in those games, notably beating Minnesota 27-21 and Central Michigan 44-14, both in 2007.

Pitchers batted around in Giants' 11-7 Game 1 win
WELCOME TO ORANGE OCTOBER GATTS s.com neweracap.com IEE 33
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants turned the World Series opener into an extra long round of batting practice — against Cliff Lee and the Texas Rangers.
Giants fans taut Cliff Lee as he head to the dugout in Game 1 of the World Series. Lee left the inning in the fifth innings during San Francisco's 11-7 victory to jump ahead in the series.
Freddy Sanchez sprayed balls down the lines. Cody Ross and Aubrey Huff hit line drives up the middle. Juan Uribe launched a shot far, far over the wall.
So much for the unbeatable Mr. Lee.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Giants battered him and the bullpen, with Sanchez hitting three doubles and keying a six-run burst in an 11-7 romp Wednesday night that looked even more lopsided.
What shaped up as a pitchers' duel between Tim Lincecum and Lee quickly deteriorated into a rout. By the end, the Rangers played like the World Series rookies they are — they made four errors, Ian Kinsler took a mistake turn around first base and manager Ron Washington may have waited too late to pull his ace.
Former Giants slugger Barry Bonds had plenty to cheer for from his seat next to the San Francisco dugout, especially when a tie game suddenly became an 8-2 thumping in the fifth inning. Rangers president and part-owner Nolan Ryan sat there glumly in a suit and tie, his prized pitcher a wreck.
Added up, the Giants improved to 10-0 against Texas at AT&T Park. Showers are in the forecast for Game 2 on Thursday night when Matt Cain and his 0.00 ERA in two playoff start takes on C.J. Wilson and the Rangers.
The Rangers did late damage, scoring three times in the ninth. Nelson Cruz hit a two-out, two-run double off Brian Wilson before the Fear the Beard closer finished it off.
Sanchez finished with four of
the Giants' 14 hits, which included six doubles. Right after Lee walked off the mound in the fifth, Uribe greeted sidearming reliever Darren O'Day with a three-run jolt that broke it open.
San Francisco had gotten through the NL playoffs because of their dominant pitching, plus an ability to win one-run decisions. None of that came into
play on this beautiful night for baseball.
Lincecum struggled at the beginning, making a strange mental error, but settled down as the game progressed. The shaggy-haired ace walked off to a standing ovation in the sixth, his glove in his right hand and his head down.

Mecham's two years of junior college experience in his home state of Utah give Gill confidence in Mecham's ability to weather the pressure of starting a Big 12 game on the road. As a sophomore at Snow Junior College, Mecham threw for 3,091 yards, 40 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions.
When Mecham committed to the University of Kansas, he knew there were two younger quarterbacks already ahead of him on the depth chart.
Mecham didn't think it mattered that his first chance at starting is going to be an away game. He was adamant that an opportunity is an opportunity, no matter where it is — Ames, Iowa, or at home in Lawrence.
Despite this week being the first time he is preparing for a Division I Big 12 game, the weight on his shoulders is not only bringing more energy to practices, but is improving his life at home.

Wade's 30 points give Heat first win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh have their first win with Miami, and the Big Three got help from some big 3s in the Heat's 97-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
Playing with purpose a night after an 88-80 loss in a hyped showdown with Boston, the three looked as if they still need some games to get used to playing with each other. Only Wade, with 30 points, looked particularly sharp against the Sixers. The Heat hit three straight 3-pointers in the third quarter to bust open an eight-point halftime lead.
James scored 16 points and Bosh had 15.
James and the Heat just couldn't squash the Sixers, who went on a 15-3 run late in the fourth to make it surprisingly competitive.
A James — not LeBron — led the Heat. James Jones hit 6-of-9 3s and scored 20 points. The Heat shot 50 percent from 3-point range — enough to make up for tough shooting nights from James and Bosh (combined 11 for 24).
Wade's tough driving layup gave him 30 points — on 10-for-20 shooting — and sealed the win.
Up next, Friday's home opener against Orlando.
For all the buzz surrounding the Heat, there were plenty of patches of empty seats in the announced sellout crowd of 20,389 in the
the game, but the volume was turned down and the noise mostly disappeared as the Heat pulled away.
One fan's sign called James "LeBum, the lyn' King" while another read "I witnessed no championship."
James was slow to warm up, and played the first quarter like it was a preseason game. He was whistled for a travel, an offensive foul and threw the ball out of bounds off a drive down the lane.
James drew a crowd of onlookers during warmups, including several members of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Before the game, James said he already forgot all about the Boston loss. He didn't seem to care about suggestions that teams were playing harder with a chance to shine against the marquee team in the NBA.

"I've been a friend of that bulls-eye for a long time," James said.
Jones was the one right on target.
"I've been a friend of that bulls-eye for a long time."
Evan Turner led the Sixers with 16 points in his first NBA game. Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young had 15.
He hit four 3s during a 16-2 run in the second quarter that gave the Heat a 49-14 lead at the break. For most of the first half, the fired-up Sixers gave Miami a bit of a run. In Doug Collins' first game as coach, the Sixers led 26-24 until Jones sparked a 10-0 run with the first 3
LEBRON JAMES Heat forward
James heard the loudest boos when he was introduced from fans that can deliver them as vociferously as any city in the league. He heard them occasionally during
of his spurt.
The Heat kept rolling from long distance in the third quarter. Jones hit two around one from Eddie House and the lead was 76-51. Miami was up
80-54 after three.
As for the Sixers, Collins said before the game his pieces didn't all fit. It showed when he started Jason Kapono — one of the team leaders in DNP-CD's last season. Kapono and starters Spencer Hawes and Jru Holiday combined for eight points.

Nuggets' coach returns to bench
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Arron Affalo added 22 and the Denver Nuggets opened the season with a 110-88 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night in coach George Karl's return to the bench.
Chauncey Billups chipped in 14 points and eight assists, while newcomer Shelden Williams grabbed 16 rebounds.
Deron Williams had 17 points for the Jazz, who finished 8-0 in the preseason for the first time in franchise history.
Anthony, the subject of trade rumors all summer, and Karl received the loudest ovations in pregame introductions.
Karl missed the final two months of last season after being diagnosed with throat and neck cancer. In his absence, the Nuggets stumbled and were eliminated by Utah in the first round of the playoffs.
Before the game, Karl described his energy for his return as "childlike" but said he was hoping that after the contest "things will calm down and we get back to normal."
Karl was his calm and composed self on the bench, his team in no real danger of losing this contest after jumping out to a 27-point lead early in the third quarter. Billups, who needed stitches after biting his lip early in the game, and Nene were given the fourth quarter off.
Anthony has been mentioned in trade speculation since he brushed off a three-year, $65 million extension with the Nuggets in June. He was in his white jersey with powder blue and gold trim Wednesday, but this possibly could be his final opener with the team.
Paul Millsap had 15 points and Al Jefferson, acquired in a trade with Minnesota over the summer, finished with six. Jefferson said before the game that Utah's pick-and-roll system fits him "perfect" and that he hopes to thrive like Carlos Boozer and Karl Malone once did.
Andrei Kirilenko, who was held to two points, has had his name surface in rumors as part of a deal that would land him in Denver and Anthony with the New Jersey Nets. Kirilenko is scheduled to make almost $18 million this season in the final year of his contract, making him an obvious trade candidate.
But Kirilenko shrugged off the speculation at shootaround, saying he's been potentially traded "so many times, but I still wear a jazz uniform. I'm still here."
Gordon Hayward, who led Butler to the NCAA last season, made his pro debut in the first quarter. He finished with nine points in nearly 21 minutes.
It was a painful first quarter for the Nuggets. Billups bit through his lip and trotted off to get stitches and Nene was poked in the eye. Both weren't out for long.
Denver started the game on a 9-0 run and kept up the pressure, leading 60-40 at halftime.
The Nuggets remain banged-up in the front court with Kenyon Martin and Chris "Birdman" Andersen recovering from off-season knee surgeries that are expected to keep them sidelined for a while.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 30 points, Russell Westbrook added 28 points and 10 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the newlook Chicago Bulls 106-95 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
Durant and Westbrook each powered down two-handed dunks during a late 11-0 surge that put the game away. Neither team had led by more than eight before Oklahoma City started pulling away in the final 3 minutes.
Westbrook raced down the court for his slam after Serge Ibaka swatted away Derrick Rose's shot, then turned it into a three-point play. The next trip down the court, Durant blew by Luol Deng for his own jam. Jeff Green's 3-pointer from the right corner made it 104-91 with 89 seconds left.
Rose scored 28 points to lead the Bulls in Tom Thibodeaux's debut as head coach. He had only four points in the final 21 minutes, his hot start cooled off by foul trouble.
Free agent acquisition Carlos Boozer sported a cast on his broken right hand, but the rest of the Bulls' overhauled roster kept it close throughout against reigning scoring champion Durant and the rest of the Thunder. Chicago brought in eight new players after last season's trip to the playoffs, while Daequan Cook was the only newcomer to get on the floor for Oklahoma City.
The Thunder got a brief scare at the end of the third quarter when Durant fell hard on his rear end after being called for charging into Chicago's Ronnie Brewer. He stayed down for a few moments before hobbling off the court. Trainers stretched his legs during the break between the quarters and then had him sit on an ice pack. Durant walked to the scorer's table to check into the game with only 3 minutes elapsed in the fourth quarter.
It wasn't long before he got fouled on the fast break and hit a pair of free throws to put Oklahoma City up 88-87, and the Thunder wouldn't trail again.
Rose answered Durant's jumper to get Chicago within 93-91 with 3:26 remaining, but Oklahoma City closed it out from there.
Jeff Green added 21 points and Eric Maynor scored 10 on a perfect shooting night — 3 for 3 from the field and 4 for 4 on free throws.
Joakim Noah had 19 points and 18 rebounds, Taj Gibson added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Deng scored 13 for Chicago.
Rose got the Bulls out to a hot start, hitting consecutive reverse layups in the midst of five made shots in a row, before heading to the bench with two first-quarter fouls. Oklahoma City then fired off a 13-4 run that featured dunks by Westbrook, Ibaka and Durant to finish the first quarter up by five.
When Rose returned, he immediately started digging the
Bulls out of an eight-point hole and put them back ahead 46-45 with a pair of free throws he earned by getting fouled on another reverse layup move.
The Thunder led 59-54 at halftime after Green scored 10 points in the final 2:38 before the break, but then gave up an 8-0 run to start the third quarter.

Knicks knock out the Raptors, 98-93

TORONTO — Wilson Chandler scored 22 points, Amare Stoudemire had 19 points and 10 rebounds and the New York Knicks beat the Toronto Raptors 98-93 on Wednesday night.
Chandler scored eight points in the final quarter and Stoudemire added seven for New York, which led 74-72 through three.
Andrea Bargnani scored 18 points in the first half but had just four in the second for Toronto,
which had won eight of its previous nine home openers. The Raptors were playing their first game without star Chris Bosh, who signed with Miami in the offseason. He spent seven years in Toronto.

Jack made two free throws, then added a layup with one minute left, cutting it to 96-93. Kleiza's 3-pointer rimmed out on the next possession and, after a New York miss, Barbosa airballed a 3 from
the corner, giving the Knicks the ball with three seconds remaining. Felton was fouled and iced it with a pair from the line.
Toronto trailed by 16 points early in the second but cut the deficit to one, 44-33, with an 11-0 run capped by a 3-point play by Kleiza with 3:52 left. The Knicks held firm and led 51-47 at the break.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Anthony Morrow hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 26 seconds to play and the New Jersey Nets gave Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov a win in his first game as their owner with a 101-98 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
Williams Eckert Prince, Rodney Tayshaun Prince, Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva
The Nets outscored the Pistons 13-3 in the final 1:40 to give Avery Johnson a win in his first game as coach — coming much quicker than last season, when they set an NBA record by losing their first 18 games.
Brook Lopez led the Nets with 25 points and nine rebounds, and Devin Harris added 22 points and nine assists. Morrow, who was signed a free agent in the offseason, added 13 points and Jordan Farmar and Terrence Williams each had 10.

Farmar cut the gap to 95-91 with a 3-pointer from the left wing with 1:31 to play, then stripped Ben Gordon on the other end. Harris created contact with Gordon at the other end and converted a three-point play with 57 seconds left to cut the lead to 95-94.
After Stuckey missed a shot under pressure from Farmar, Morrow put the Nets ahead 97-95 after Harris nearly lost the ball and flipped it back to him.
Villanueva missed a 3-pointer on the Pistons' next possession with 18 seconds to go and Harris pushed the lead to 99-95 with two free throws with 16 seconds left.
Villanueva cut the deficit to a point with a 3-pointer with 14 seconds to go but Farmar made two free throws for the Nets' final points a second later.

The Nets, who won a franchise-low 12 games last season, seemed headed for another opening-night loss when Richard Hamilton hit a 3-pointer from the left corner with 1:40 remaining for a 95-88 lead.
The Pistons had two chances to tie in the closing seconds. Villanueva missed a 3-pointer with 2 seconds to go and Stuckey missed a desperation heave from the corner at the buzzer after Williams missed two free throws at the other end.

Gordon had eight points in the spurt and Jason Maxiell added five.
The Nets, who have 11 new players on their roster, rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the third quarter behind two of the four leftovers from last year — Lopez and Harris. They combined to score 15 of 17 points in a 17-6 spurt that gave them a 62-61 lead.

Some people love getting thrills from haunted houses. I am not one of them I went to my first haunted house when I was 10 years old. I don't remember much of the experience, as I've successfully blocked it from my memory. But I do recall the last haunted house I went to a few years ago, and how it inspired me to never go back.
ANNA ARCHIBALD | ASSOCIATE EDITOR
I was 17 years old, standing outside the haunted barn in Altoona, Kan, with my best friend Sheridan. We were waiting for the group in front of us to go in. I was anxious for our turn, wondering why anyone would pay to be scared half to death, including myself. "It's fine," I thought, imagining how I could even drive down a country road when it was dark outside. I knew it would be fine as long as the spooky barn was void of the most horrifying thing of all: a chainsaw. (Texas Chainsaw Massacre made me irrationally afraid of meat lockers and electric saws.) As we walked into the eerily transformed barn, someone reached through the sheets hanging over the walls and grabbed my arm, eliciting a loud shriek — that's when I
knew that the only thing awaiting us was imminent death. "Chill out!" Sheridan said, rolling her eyes. She thought I was being too dramatic about the situation, and she got hers when we crawled through the werewolf tunnel a couple minutes later.
About 15 minutes in, and right before the exit, my worst fears came true like I knew they would. A masked man looming over us cackled and growled while holding nothing else but — dun dun duuuuun! — a chainsaw. I clutched Sheridan's arm like I would never see daylight again — it didn't matter that the chainsaw had no chain on it, rendering it completely harmless. It was the idea of the matter. I screamed again, but this time I couldn't be silenced and ran out of the barn. (If there's one thing I've learned from the movies, it's to run — because even if you don't you're probably going to die, so why not be proactive?) To read about real hauntings in Lawrence, check out Ashley's article on page 13.
Once Sheridan finally made it out of the place, her arm decorated with my fingernail indentations, I was still shaking. I've never been to another haunted anything. Now I know that "scary" can only happen in a controlled environment where there is a boy holding your hand.

FIVE QUESTIONS // PHIL CANTY & RASHEEDA
Two people. Five questions. See how they stack up. | BECCA HARSCH |
PHILCANTY
Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt. I remember going to the Virgin Megastore in Washington D.C. when you could still buy CDs.I played that record out and I stand by it to this day.
I'm partying on Halloween. I'm doing MINGLE at Eighth Street Taproom on Oct. 29. MINGLE is a 21+ dance party. It's hosted and DJ-d by me and my buddy. We will be having a costume contest. My Halloween costume is a surprise.
My first four jobs were as janitors at elementary schools in Topeka.
I hope to go on tour with the Bear Club boys next year. Bear Club is my company.I am the lead provocateur. We release music and do events. We also design this and that, and generally just get buck.
I love Drizzy. He shuts it down like computers.

RASHEEDA
It was Salt-N-Pepa. I wanted to be them so bad. I was way too young to get my hair shaved on the side, but I did it anyway and got in trouble. I was just doing Salt-N-Pepa.
I would shampoo heads for my mom at her beauty shop in Atlanta. I got $5 a head.
I think he's really dope. He's a great songwriter. He's both hip-hop and R&B. He mixes it together really well. He's extremely melodic with his hooks. I think he'll be around for a good minute.
I hope to get a No.1 single and continue to grow my fan base.I'm looking forward to taking being an independent artist and the Boss Bitch music movement to the next level.
I hope to have as much fun as I did last year. Me and my girls went out last year and had a ball. I may be performing on Halloween. If not, I just bought some masks in New Orleans and I am going to go out and party party party all night.

KANSAS IN HEAT // THE RULES OF RUBBERS
- Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Wednesdays at 11 p.m. on KJHK, 90.7im and at kjhk.org.
THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY, KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP.
0. Why do I sometimes lose my erection when I put my condom on? And why it is bad to double bag? — Anonymous
A. Losing your erection is commonly caused by the tightness of the condom. The good news might be your penis is too big for regular condoms. Try different-fitting condoms to see if your erection issues persist. "Her pleasure" or ribbed condoms have more room near the head
of the penis. If you still lose your erection, try putting on the condom during foreplay. Have your partner put your condom on for you. This might be more arousing than stopping and putting a condom on.
As far as double bagging (or putting two condoms on) goes — it's never a good idea. The rubbing of latex on latex can cause the condom to break or tear. It is also likely for you to lose your erection when using two condoms. The majority of people use two condoms to dull the sensation and last longer, but ejaculatory control condoms have a numbing agent on the inside to help dull the sensation.
Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat? Send it in to kansasinheat@yahoo.com or check out the Kansas in Heat Facebook page.
CATCH OF THE WEEK // MOLLY ILER
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I like to watch
movies, play with my dog, go to the Sandbar with friends and travel. I also really like to drive (too fast) while listening to really loud music.
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL
PARTNER: Height and eyes, obviously, and the way he treats strangers. Then, forearms. I know it's weird, but there's something about it.
confidence is a big one, but not cockiness. It's a fine line. A sense of humor is also really important. Motivation, positivity, and style are good, too. I look for a guy who can be his own person and who carries himself well.
TURN OFFS: A bad attitude, shyness, bad driving, peanut allergies and any kind of substance addiction. Bad grammar is a no-no. I have also been known to say a love for Star Wars is a deal-breaker, but that's negotiable.
HOMETOWN: Summit, New Jersey
MAJOR: English
YEAR: Senior
INTERESTED IN: Men
WHY I'M A CATCH: I'm really independent and I'm a good mix between a girlie girl and a tomboy. I'll probably embarrass myself (and you), but I'll make you laugh!

GET SOME CULTURE // GIRLPROV
> It's not all about fast food and beer pong..
Dressed in pink, GirlProv, an all-female improv troupe at KU, acts out scenes on the fly with the help of audience suggestions and their own imaginations. "Improv is all about being in the moment," says Jackie Koester, group member and Hoisington senior.
The troupe formed a year ago when GirlProv wanted to do long-form performances, unlike short-form, which resembles the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Long-form develops one scene for 30 minutes to an hour.
GIRL PROV
GirlProv's members are Maggie Cargill. Overland Park senior; Havana Mahoney. Manhattan junior; Julie Miller, Hutchison senior; Anna Smith, Lincoln, Neb., senior; and Koester, who take real-life situations and add a little vulgarity. From the opening "Shabooya" roll cell to a skit called "Dear Diary," audiences never see the same show twice.
Off the cuff GirlProv performs comedy without a script, just audience suggestions that spark a sketch.
With frequent performances at The Granda, The Barrel House, Roving Imp Theater in Bonner Springs and the Fishtank Performance Studio in Kansas City, Mo., GirlProv has been asked to perform in a regional college tournament Nov. 6 at the Westport Coffee House in Kansas
City, Mo. If the group wins, they will advance to the national competition in Chicago with 100 other troupes. "Students should come because it's fucking funny," Mahoney says. "And we're hot."

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // CARVING PUMPKINS
Go beyond the simple jack-o-lantern this Halloween and carve a scary masterpiece.
> in case of emergency, read quickly
Janet Schaake, owner of Schaake's Pumpkin Patch, 1791 N. 1500 Rd., says to look for a bright orange pumpkin that is hard and firm, without any bumps, which makes carving tougher.
Carve your pumpkin on a solid table covered in newspaper. For carving tools you can buy kits at the store, but Schaake says serrated knives or sheet rock knifes work well for cutting, and spoons work to clear out the insides.
After scraping for 30 minutes, Kelli Klecan, Topeka freshman, finally had her pumpkin cleared. "I forget how much work carving pumpkins takes," she says. The whole process can take up to two hours.
Now the creative part. Use a stencil such as KU Pumpkin Stencils at funstuff.ku.edu. For
To reach inside, cut a hole around the stem large enough to fit your hand and a candle inside. Remember to cut a wedge in the circle so you know how the lid fits. Start digging out the guts, removing all the slime.
personal creations, Jack Walliser, Mundelein, Ill., junior, says draw and create your own silhouette in Photoshop. Tape the stencil to the side of your pumpkin. Take a fork and make holes around the stencil. When you pull it off, it leaves a guide for you to cut. When cutting, start from the center. Use smaller knives to carve out details.
Carved pumpkins only last about five or six days, Schaake says. To add a festive aroma, Schaake says to sprinkle cinnamon around the rim of the pumpkin lid. Finally, admire your spooky, Halloween decoration by putting a lit candle or battery-powered light inside.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS // BEST DRINKS TO MINIMIZE HANGOVERS
> If you're going to do it. be smart.
KU
Cruisin for a boozin: If you play, you pay. To minimize a hangover, limit your drinks and steer clear of sugar.
Andrew Chavez loves to go out and drink with his friends, but he usually hates the way he feels the next day. "Having a hangover is the worst. It makes everything I do the next day so much harder," says Chavez, Ulysses, Kan., junior.
Chavez isn't the only one who suffers from hangovers. A 2006 study from National College Health Assessment revealed that 24 percent of KU students reported using alcohol between 10 and 29 days a month. Luckily, there are certain drinks that can help students ward off an
unwanted hangover.
Kara Schwerdt, a bartender at 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, says drinks with minimal amounts of sugar are your best bet to avoid a hangover. Sugar dehydrates the body and makes it difficult to tell how much alcohol you are consuming. Schwerdt recommends drinking a vodka soda. "The key is to limit how many you drink," she says. The body can only metabolize one standard drink per hour.
Rachael Cooley, a bartender at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., suggests sticking to clear alcohol and drinks that contain vitamin B12. "Alcohol absorbs your body's vitamin B12 as you are drinking, so when you have a hangover you also have a vitamin B12 deficiency," Cooley says. She says a Tequila Sunrise is high in vitamin B12 and will help minimize your chances of a hangover.
JACQUE WEBER
GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU // DREAMING
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Jenna Brunswick often struggles to stay awake during school. She says she blames her tiredness on dreaming. "I have a lot of crazy nightmares and they always wake me up during the night," says Brunswick, Kansas City, Mo., junior.
Dreams affect how our bodies function. Denise Sooter, clinical director at PM Sleep Lab in Derby, Kan., says getting the right amount of dreamsleepisimportant. "Excessive dreaming can cause fatigue, but fragmented sleep, usually caused by nightmares, can leave you feeling depressed."
D. B. P. R. A. M.
Nighty night: Dreams can be beneficial when they don't occur in non-REM sleep, which is fragmented and produces nightmares.
Dreaming occurs in both rapid-eye movement (REM) and non-REM stages of sleep throughout the night.
Cory Allnutt, supervisor of the Sleep Disorders Center in Olathe, Kan., says dreams during REM sleep are built around a plot, but dreams during non-REM sleep are more like Deja Vu. Dreaming about losing your keys would be an example of a dream during non-REM sleep, Allnutt says. A nightmare would occur during REM sleep.
Although nightmare-type dreams can negatively affect our day, they are a necessary part of life. "Dreaming is restorative and allows us to get rid of stress and emotions," Allnutt says. "If you didn't dream, all of those negative things would build up."
Verdict Good for you!

A PRETTY CAMPUS
EXPLORE NATURE AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH BY STEPPING OFF THE SIDEWALK
PHOTOS BY | CHRIS BRONSON, JESSICA JANASZ AND ADAM BUHLER
Tucked under a tall maple tree on Stauffer-Flint Lawn, the pink and yellow stripes of Sydney Silverstein's blanket rest against the green blades of grass. In the natural light of the mid-morning sun, she reads her anthropology book — shoes flipped off and sipping an iced coffee. "There is something nice about outside," says Silverstein, a graduate student from Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
As the breeze flutters the wisps of Silverstein's dark, curly hair across her forehead, she feels what landscapers and psychologists call a "connection with nature." Though Silverstein doesn't know the history or science behind that feeling, she embraces it. Amidst the chaos and stress of college life, stopping to watch the leaves fall could be just what the psychologist ordered. The KU campus was designed with that in mind.
The University's natural features, including trees lining Jayhawk Boulevard, Potter's Lake and Marvin Grove, were built into the 1,000 acres of campus from its beginnings in the 1870s. The open lawns in front of Stauffer-Flint, Lindley and Strong halls, the hill behind the Campanile, Potter's Lake, Marvin Grove, Prairie
Acres and Weaver Court at Spooner Hall were all designed for students to enjoy.
KU landscape architect Peg Livingood helps perserve campus's natural beauty amidst pressures to develop the land. In the 2008 Campus Heritage Plan, the University outlined how campus will continue to grow while maintaining the tradition of open spaces, which encourage connecting with nature. Livingood says."Open space on campus is important because many students don't experience much nature. They spend a majority of their day inside."
The nature woven throughout campus can help students with more than relaxation. "Nature helps present awareness and mindfulness," says Neil Christensen, a licensed psychologist. All of our senses engage in nature. We hear, smell, touch, taste and see every detail of our surroundings. This whole body sensing brings on a calm state. In those moments, the mind has time to reflect and probe deeper into feelings and thoughts.
As a counselor for Outback, a wilderness therapy center for teens in Utah, Christensen has learned that nature can help a person
connect with themselves. In the hustle of our high tech world, nature pulls us away from texting every two minutes or honing in on our favorite television show, "We get so absorbed in technology, we miss out on what's around us," Christensen says. When you blast music from your headphones, you miss the subtle sounds of the wind whistling or birds chirping. If you walk across campus and never glance up from your text message, you'll miss the row of red tulips just starting to bloom.
Though long periods of time outside can deepen your connection with nature and allow more self-reflection, any time spent outside, whether sitting under a tree or walking to and from class, can help with stress, anger, depression or anxiety.
Christensen, who is also a 2008 graduate, says students can enjoy nature while they work. He remembers spending hours by Potter's Lake reading textbooks or finishing papers. "Incorporating nature into activities can place a person's mind at ease," he says.
While experiencing nature a person has a greater ability to think. The touch of nature brings the whole body into the activity and
wakes it up. "Think about taking a walk for five minutes or sitting outside instead of gulping down a Red Bull," he says.
Katie Flippo, Wichita freshman, likes the focus the outdoors brings. "I sit outside because it is quieter. I am more relaxed and can concentrate on studying," she says.
Science verifies the positive effect nature has on people. At the University of Michigan in 2008, Marc Berman, a postdoctoral research fellow, did a study to test how nature affects college students. Groups of students took a 50-minute walk along nature corridors or busy urban areas. While walking in their respective environments, the students were asked to remember numbers. The results showed that the students who walked through the urban areas had no mental improvement, while the students who walked through nature improved by 20 percent. Berman says no matter the weather or how much the participants enjoyed the walk, the students who walked through nature always showed improvement, even if they were tromping through snow.
Berman says this happens because our brain has two different types of attention: direct and involuntary. Direct attention means the mind suppresses distraction and focuses in on one thing, causing mental fatigue. Involuntary attention is activated by environmental factors such as a loud noise. The events we have no control over automatically capture attention and don't fatigue the mind. This is how nature plays a role in campus. Every stick that snaps or brightly colored leaf that falls automatically captures our attention, not fatiguing our already worn out bodies and minds.
The psychological impact of campus is planned by architects. Kenneth Rupp, landscape architect at the University of Michigan, says all parts of campus should be functional. "Campus is planned to serve a higher purpose than be pretty," he says. Speed and efficiency are factored in on sidewalk design, and the open spaces should be used for activities such as studying and relaxing. When campuses are under pressure to develop, every square inch becomes even more important.
Because every tree, flower, path and bench has a function, Richard Dober, senior consultant at Dober Lidsky Mathy, a campus planning firm

in Massachusetts that assists colleges with campus development, says campus is an art form that should be appreciated. Having helped plan nearly 4,200 campus landscapes around the world, Dober says each campus offers different features. At the University of Miami the campus features palm trees, in Normam, Okla., monuments grace the grounds, and at New England colleges the range of seasons filters through the landscape.
KU alumni remember the beauty of the changing seasons on campus, says Marion Paulette, another landscape architect at KU. The leaves drift to the ground, soon snow will arrive and the blossoms of spring will emerge in April.
Fall reminds Jaime Andrews, 2008 graduate, of walking across campus, watching trees drop their leaves. Depending on the weather, Jaime says she would dip her feet in the Chi Omega fountain or relax under her favorite tree: a tilted, old walnut tree in Marvin Grove.
The natural, historic landscapes on the KU campus continue to offer memories and daily escapes for students.
While Silverstein sits on her brightly colored blanket propped up against a tree, she feels the refreshment brought by the outdoors. The rustling leaves and warm sunlight offer her more than just a pretty campus

A first time for everything. After two years of carrying a tray of goodies and her sales pitch through the crowd, Nicole Lane, Ottawa junior, finally got a show at being behind the bar.
I've been working there for two years, but tonight is different. Tonight I won't be working my way through the packed crowd, carrying a tray of shots. Drunken people won't nudge me from all sides as I annoy them with my salesman strategies. "Hey do you want a quick shot? It's just a dollar."
At first I enjoyed it, but being a shot girl at the Hawk is a lot of work, and I only made $60-$70 a night. Those shots don't sell themselves.
Tonight is my first night to put my limited bartending skills to the test.
By 10:30 p.m. I'm behind the main bar. The place is packed. I'm used to that. I'm just relieved to have this bar as a barrier between me and the crowd.
BY NICOLE LANE / AS TOLD BY MOLLY MARTIN
My biggest fear is that I'll break a bottle. I'm not used to my shaky hands. But I'm too busy to think about my nerves.
Customers fight for my attention, reaching over the bar and waving their money into my workspace.
"Make me your favorite shot!"
One Washington Apple, coming right up.
I mix together whiskey, cranberry juice and Apple Pucker, then add a splash of sprite.
"Strong."
The night goes by so fast, and I make mistakes. I get the tonic and Sprite mixed up about five times when making gin and tonics or gin and Sprites. Whenever I make this mistake I quickly throw it away and start again, not allowing the customer to see what I did wrong.
When the bar closes I'm exhausted. My back hurts. My hands are sticky. I look down and notice I have cranberry juice all over my white shorts. After I collect $120 in tips, I'm ready to grab a slice of Wheel Pizza and call it a night.

GOOD WILL HAUNTING
RUMORS, REPORTS AND PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS PROVE GHOSTS HAVE YET TO CHECK OUT OF THE ELDRIDGE H
ASHLEY BARFOROUSH
Meredith Laurie sips her drink, enjoying martini night at The Eftridge Hotel. Located on the most historic corner in Kansas, 701 Massachusetts St., the site dates back to the Civil War, and little does Laurie know, there may be more than just physical contact here.
"I had no idea The Eldridge was haunted," Laurie, Plano, Texas senior, says. "I think it adds to the atmosphere." The idea that The Eldridge houses non-living guests isn't new. The rumors are almost as old as the original building. The Free State Hotel.
In 1855, the New England Emigrant Aid Society built the hotel, wanting Kansas to enter the union as a free state. Pro-slavery sheriff Sam Jones burned down the hotel one year later. Colonel Shalor Eldridge not only rebuilt the hotel, but added a floor of rooms, promising to make the hotel bigger every time it was torn down. Seven years later, confederate leader William Quantrill and his raiders burned the hotel, and the city of Lawrence, to the ground. Col. Eldridge quickly restored and renamed the hotel. The Eldridge Hotel thrived until the building was converted into apartments in the 1960s.
Current general manager David Longhurst says his grandmother lived in the hotel when it was the Eldridge House apartments. He helped turn the building back into a hotel in 1986. The most recent multi-million dollar renovation took place in 2005, but the original ceiling, pillars and floors remain. "We brought it all back," Longhurst says.
He may have even brought back Col. Eldridge. The Colonel's chair sits in the basement near an old elevator shaft, and Longhurst says it doesn't collect dust no matter how many cobwebs form around it. A few years ago, a front desk clerk
had to see it to believe it. "He looked at the chair and there was somebody sitting in it smoking a pipe," Longhurst says.
The desk clerk never went downstairs again, but there are others who seek that sort of scare. "A lot of people specifically ask to stay in room 506," Longhurst says. "Other people say 'put me anywhere but 506.'"
Room 506 is deemed the most haunted room in the hotel because the original cornerstone remains there. Guests have reported flashing lights, drawers mysteriously opening and faulty elevator activity.
"They'll push B for basement and the elevator goes up to the fifth floor. The doors open and nobody is there," Longhurst says.
In 1989, someone took a picture of the lobby and spotted a ghostly man in the elevator after the photo was developed. The photo still sits on the front desk of the hotel. If The Eldridge is haunted, Longhurst hopes it is haunted by the ghost of the founder.
"I like the legend that Col. Eldridge cares so much for his guests that he's keeping an eye on the property," Longhurst says.
Vincent Porter, a paranormal investigator, brought his company, Unfinished Business, to The Eldridge on Oct. 13, hoping to settle some business with the other side. During the five-hour investigation he used electromagnetic field detectors, infrared cameras and digital voice recorders to scan for high voice frequencies.
"The frequencies are beyond human ears," Porter says. "The digital voice recorder gives us a helping a hand in capturing a conversation with another entity."
After playing back the voice recorder, he heard three different voices on tape. Porter also captured three energy orbs in the Crystal Ballroom and one in the Big Six Room. He says

one orb looked like a redish burst of electricity that came out of the middle of the ceiling and shot off to the right side of the room while others flashed like fireflies. "I haven't seen an orb like this in all my years," Porter says. "People might say it's creepy but I see it as exciting."
"There isn't any negative energy in The Eldridge Hotel," Porter says. "Everything in there has unfinished business, but it's all real positive."
He isn't certain who the ghosts are, but he is positive they aren't harmful.

orter sets the record straight.
**Ghosts** | People who died and have unfinished business so their spirit has yet to move on
**Demons** | Never human, but always wanted to be, surrounded by negative energy
**Mischievous Entity** | A separate existence that interferes with the living through a series of shenanigans like opening drawers and moving jewelry
Porter will reveal his paranormal findings from The Eldridge Hotel investigation on the Channel 6 News "Home & Away: Halloween Special."

MOVIE REVIEW // NEVER LET ME GO
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Never Let Me Go is not the first film about cloning and organ harvesting, but it's the first to do so seriously, and in the subtlest of forms. In fact, the film is less about cloning and more about the human condition, which makes it truly original and effective.
Knightley does a wonderful job as the spiteful Ruth who also manages to remain sympathetic. Mulligan brings an understated, yet powerful maturity to the tragic, introspective Kathy, who also narrates the film. Garfield steals the film as the most desperate of the three for some grasp on humanity.
Director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) and screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Weeks Later and Sunshine) go well out of their way to downplay the science-fiction elements of Never Let Me Go. Like the original novel written by Kazaou Ishiguro, the film is more of a haunting love story that discusses the nature of human beings.
Never Let Me Go tells the story of three people who experience life, love and loss just like the rest of us, and wonder, perhaps even more than the rest of us, what it all means in the end.
It should be noted that the term "clone" is never uttered in the film. Not once. This is done so that the film avoids falling into schlocky Clonus Horror-territory, but also because the film is not about cloning — it's about what makes us human.
B. S. HADLAND
The core of the film lies between the friendship and subsequent love triangle between Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley). The relationships between these characters provide a depth that drives the film.

MUSIC REVIEW //BELLE AND SEBASTIAN WRITE ABOUT LOVE (MATADOR)
> KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption
Belle and Sebastian's recent release, Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, is currently sitting in the #8 spot in BBC's Top 40 charts after only one week in stores. It's a mature and reserved album, but the group still belts out hooks better than most modern pop bands. I presume it's because Belle and Sebastian's sound has classical roots.
I can hear the band's connection to sunny 60s pop. Songs from the new album like "Write About Love" and "I Want The World to Stop" sound like they could have been Bryan Maclean songs on Love's Forever Changes. There are swirling vocal tracks, subtle horns and strings and unexpected chord progressions throughout the record.
The slow and emotional "Calculating Bimbo" is a blissful highlight with an apt title. The guitars, which aren't prominent in the mix, rock while remaining tasteful. I'm reminded of Simon & Garfunkel with the easy-going, wispy vocals on "Ghost of Rockschool." The slow "Read the Blessed Pages," which is similar to a Nico solo song, surprises with a heavily effected woodwind. The underlying tremolo guitar on "Sunday's Pretty Icons" shifts to a
real fuzzy riff behind the monotonous, upbeat rhythm parts. Give it a try, even if you aren't a pop fan.

BEHIND THE BREAK UP
MOVING ON AFTER A BROKEN RELATIONSHIP
What becomes of the brokenhearted: After a devastating breakup, Ellen learned how to cope with her heartache; the time-honored practice of patience.
I roll over, crushing the crumpled tissues that cover the better half of my bed. I look at the clock — it's three in the afternoon. The glowing red letters cast a glare in my shaded room. I sit up and rub my eyes, which sting from a combination of crying and a lack of sleep. I push my messy, unwashed hair out of my face and throw off the covers. I shuffle to the bathroom and flick on the light. Two days before I would have been using that mirror to make sure my lip-gloss looked okay. Now I stare at my dissipated appearance. The bags under my eyes seem permanent and my skin is drained of all color. I had crashed. My boyfriend broke up with me two days before. I couldn't believe this was how my senior year in college was going to be: lonely.
He had just graduated from the United States Military Academy and jetted off to Europe for a brief two-week vacation before he had to report to Ft. Benning, Ga. He chose to end our two-year relationship because we were headed in different directions. He was going to be a young officer in the army while I finished my senior year at KU. He was considering staying in the army longer than he had originally planned and I wasn't ready to sign my life over. I never thought he would actually end things, especially over the phone.
When we started dating, I promised myself I wouldn't become one of "those girls" who thought their lives were over once their relationships were. But the day he broke up with
me I felt like I was 16 all over again. I laid under a pile of covers as my mom tried to tell me I only had one day to feel sorry for myself. “You don’t know what this feels like. No one understands me,” I tried to scream. I had lost my voice from sobbing. All I cared about was how now I would never get married, and I certainly wasn’t going to have kids.
I'll be honest: I, like every other girl enamored with her boyfriend, thought my relationship was invincible. Sure couples break up all the time, but that would never happen to me. I told myself I would move on as quickly as possible. But what I thought was moving on with my life was really just burying my hurt.
Since we broke up this past summer I was home in Atlanta, going out every weekend, drinking away my sorrows and pretending I didn't hate my life. I tried not to think or talk about him. When I went out with friends without thinking about him, I thought I was completely over him. "This is great," I would tell my friends, who, now that I think about, knew I wasn't healing at all.
When I wasn't washing down my misery with a cheap shot of vodka I was working out. "The best revenge is looking good," I told myself. What did I plan on showing him? "Look asshole, I can lose weight because you made me miserable. Take that." I guess I forgot that we never saw each other, even though he used to come to Atlanta when he wasn't training at Ft. Benning. I was hungry and cranky, which didn't
help anyone.
I'd hear from my ex-boyfriend in random spurts. "I'm sorry how all this happened." "I can't just cut you out of my life." "Do you have my favorite jacket?" I didn't answer him all summer, and was proud of myself. I also felt flattered. While I was telling everyone I didn't think about him anymore, clearly he still thought about me, which meant he still cared.
When I came back to school all of those buried emotions rose to the surface. I saw my friends in happy relationships, and remembered how I had wanted this to go, but it somehow didn't.
I was lonely, and yes, I threw myself a few more pity parties. I would lie in bed the nights my friends wanted to spend time with their boyfriends and feel sorry for myself. Not being around my family and friends took a toll on how "well" I was doing. I couldn't drive home to Atlanta and I started to feel more alone than ever. I became a regular of the Lifetime channel and my pantry, eating just about everything in sight.
I can't remember the exact moment when I started to feel better about the break up. But after I established a new routine with school and friends, I began to feel more normal. I hated when people told me time was the only thing that would help, but after a few months of being back at school and keeping myself busy, I realized it was true.
It's been four months since the break-up and
I can honestly say I am doing better. If someone would have told me this days after the break-up happened, I probably would not have believed them. Yes, back ups are hard. But I've found the best way to get your life back is to live it. Coming from a girl who once pathetically carved "I will never have a boyfriend" into her desk at home, got a boyfriend and then got dumped, trust me, life goes on.

DEVIL'S DOOR
Dispelling the myth of Stull's famous 'portal to hell'
Small town's legend attracts unwelcome tourists and vandals
NO
TRESPASSING
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
STULL — Satan will not be appearing here Sunday evening, as previously reported by this paper over the last four decades and by websites of varying credibility.
smontemayor@kansan.com
Standing on her front porch and looking across the street at the town's cemetery, Julie Moses confirmed the Devil's absence Wednesday. For three years, Moses has lived across from the graveyard that has drawn unwanted revelry since the 1960s.
Multiple "NO TRESPASSING" signs line the entrance and fence of the Stull cemetery to ward off unwelcome visitors. The fence was put up in response to vandalism of the old church and the cemetery.
"We start dreading it about two weeks before Halloween," Moses said.
Dalton Gomez/KANSAN
Each year carloads of thrill-seekers from surrounding high schools and the University of Kansas pull up to Stull Cemetery late at night looking for the supernatural. The University Daily Kansan first wrote of an urban legend spread by word-of-mouth in a November 1974 article.
"According to legend, this graveyard is one of the two places on
Legend also has it that Pope John Paul II once ordered a flight en route to Colorado to avoid flying over Kansas because of Stull. It was reported in Time magazine, paranormal websites say. However Time's website — which features an archive devoted to the pope — has no record of this.
earth where the devil appears in person twice a year," the article reads. Retellings of the legend since that time have Stull as one of seven or eight "portals to hell," with both solstices as well as Halloween inspiring visits from afar.
Apparently no demon, witch or werewolf has so much as dropped by for a cup of coffee. In the event the devil was after anything of commercial appeal, he'd be better served haunting the neighboring cities of Lawrence and Topeka. There isn't a gas station, liquor store, Starbucks or McDonald's in Stull. The census stopped providing statistics for it as while ago (The Kansan had Stull's population at 20 in its first article — that number appears to have shrunk still further). There is a church and about all one can purchase is the day's paper for a few quarters in front of a long-vacant bait shop.

Symphony Orchestra hosts Halloween Bash

Imagine the "Halloween" movie series without the classic Michael Myers sound track. Imagine Freddy Krueger without his famous background music.
For professor David Neely, music defines a feeling that a visual simply can't. Neely will be conducting the second Halloween Bash tonight at the Lied Center. Presented by the School of Music and featuring the University Symphony Orchestra, the Halloween Bash will feature songs to get anybody's heartbeat racing for the approaching Halloween weekend.
There will be a costume contest before the concert for all who dare to dress up like the symphony itself. Neely himself will be wearing five or six different costumes throughout the performance to match each musical piece he will be conducting.

THE LAKE BEND OF THE CITY OF DUNHAM, MAINE. THIS AREA WAS USED FOR DISPOSING OF WASTE AND FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSES. THE LAND WAS USED TO PROVIDE FLOWER GARDENING AND OTHER HORTICULTURE. THE AREA IS NOW DESTINATED AS A PARK.
All that remains of the church that once overlooked Stull and its cemetery is a pile of rubble and a few cornerstones. The church walls crumbled in 2002 when it was torn down because of its unsound structure.
STULL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Carson Pedigo, a freshman from Wichita, and Max Mickunas, a freshman from Atwood, first heard of the cemetery's legend earlier this month and decided to investigate.
The two, and about three others,
walked around the grave.
yard at about 1 a.m., finding no evidence of the demonic but leaving a little spooked.
"It's a pretty creepy town in general," Mickunas said. "It's like one of those towns in a movie. Like

being dragged to hell, but also to the Douglas County Jail. At least one squad car will station itself next to the Moses residence or at the cemetery's entrance, ready to deliver misdemeanor trespassing charges.
"I've told folks out there that
everybody's in on it, keeping a big secret or something."
Pedigo said hed like to return one day but in a smaller group. However, neither plan on visiting on Halloween, when the devil is said to appear at midnight.
SGT. STEVE LEWIS Douglas County Sheriff's Office
"I don't plan on going back for Halloween," Mickunas said. "I just plan on getting crazy."
Those who show up Sunday do so at their own risk. With a late night visit one not only risks
out there that I've stopped that I'm the scariest thing they'll see up there," said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Lewis said he first learned of the legend as a freshman at the University in 1967. Lewis attributes the attention to teenage impressionability and the influence of 3.2 beer (which he's quick to point out was legal to drink at 18).
ENCOUNTER
Though fenced in and with a dozen "NO TRESPASSING" signs faded by sunlight dotting the
Well-worn markers from the 1800s share land with those from this decade that are adorned with flower arrangements that spell "D-A-D." The old church itself, built in 1867 and knocked to the ground in 2002, sits atop a hill. Its limestone rubble rests almost in a sinking position. If a portal existed, it's surely closed now.
property, Stull Cemetery can be accessed by simply opening its front gate. If you not supposed to be there, Moses' St. Bernard will let her know before any officer.
But then you turn and walk back to the entrance.
It speaks to you for nearly a minute in the whipping wind. You stop, frozen, and turn back to the old church.
You hear a voice.
It's not the Devil, it's Moses. You've hit your tape recorder and it's playing back her talking about her dog from your earlier conversation.
"He doesn't like people going over there," Moses says. "I think he knows that people aren't supposed to be over there."

COSTUMES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"You put a scary costume together with scary music, and you more than double the fright," Neely said.
Neely said his numerous costumes were fairly expensive to come by, but he simply felt inclined to wear them. One of the costumes is Darth Vader, whom he will be dressed as to the song "Imperial March," from the Star Wars film "The Empire Strikes Back."
Although Neely's list of costumes racked up a price, he said creative, self-made costumes can be just as good.
Greg Schleifman, a junior from Arlington, Va., said he spent $50 on an astronaut costume last year but thinks he went overboard.
"It's not like it's your wedding."
Schleifman said.
This year he is going to be the Miller High Life guy from the commercials, a costume he got for free after winning a wing-eating contest at Buffalo Wild Wings.
The University Theatre Department provided a cheap way for students and the community to buy inexpensive, decorative costumes Saturday. The theatre's Halloween sale happens only once every six or seven years according to Susan Rendall, a coordinator for the department. Rendall sold various pieces of costumes and whole costumes ranging from the price of a dollar to $35. The average item sold for $5.
"I really felt that people appreciated the prices." Rendall said.
And the sales reflected that. Of the seven banquet tables full of hats and accessories, only half of a laundry basket remained after Saturday's sale. Of the seven racks of hanging costumes, only half a rack remained.
Courtney Slone, a junior from Derby, made her own costume by herself. She said she wouldn't spend more than the $35 dollar price that the theatre's costume
sale was offering as its highest price.
"It's ridiculous unless you're going to wear it for more than five years," Sloan said.
She will not be entering a Halloween contest this year, but she will be proud of her costume.
The Halloween Bash, which begins at 6:30 tonight with the costume contest, will have prizes for the first place contestants in differing categories. The prizes are sponsored by The Eldridge and Oread Hotels and KU Bookstores.
Neely said the costumes can be very effective at a glance, but music gets under people's skin in a special way.
"You can't imagine a horror movie without the music," he said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Jayhawk bond valuable during negative situations
Since arriving on Mount Oread in Fall 2007, I have been amazed by the bonds felt by Jayhawks the world over. Having studied abroad three times and traveled domestically and internationally on my own many times more I am fascinated by the number of Jayhawks who are present on every continent and in every state, each screaming "Rock Chalk" at the top of their lungs when they see the familiar bird on a shirt, jacket, or cap. This bond has created a family for me, and for all Jayhawk students, across the world that want to invest in each of us and ensure our safety and success.
In reflecting on my time on campus, I am further started that
In the many negative situations we have seen happen on this campus over the last several years
(deaths, rape, alcohol abuse, cheating, other destructive behaviors). there is a lesson to be learned. That lesson is to remember your Jayhawk bond. Remember that you can make a positive difference in someone's life by not being afraid to address a situation with a solution, to step up and say something, to be the helpful hand that someone needs, or the reassuring voice to get someone through a negative situation. Don't forget why you're here—to be a part of the Jayhawk Nation, a community of friends!

The streets were in turmoil.
Argentine economy challenges
The streets were in turmoil. The banging of saucepans nearly masked the gunshots. Fireworks went off in all directions. Wood and tires were set alfame, blocking all vehicle traffic. Grocery store owners stood atop their buildings with rifles, trying desperately to protect their lifetime of hard work.
Those who had slaved away their whole lives were now povertystricken and unemployed.
The windows of the supermarket were covered. Fences and gates provided an extra layer of protection - but not enough for the angry Argentines.
"In glory we shall die!" They shouted.
They rushed the store,ripping the steel blinds apart and shoving one another out of the way. They snatched up shopping carts and took to the aisles,filling them up with boxes of pasta, grains,and meat - whatever the store had left in stock.
"I remember going to the grocery store when it was closed," said Gaston Santhia of Vision Media. "We had to knock on the door because they knew us. Everyone was extremely frightened, so the owners would lock their door. They only sold to us because we were neighbors."
With children to feed, the mob
tore the gates from the fence.
Bank accounts were blocked. The grocery stores were nearly empty. If one wanted a loan, they would have to pay it back within seven days at a sky-high interest rate.
The store owner, an Asian man in his mid-fifties, stood outside crying. He would kill himself later that day.
This 1987 scene in Argentina was not uncommon during hyperinflation or the economic collapse of 2001.
The cost of pasta and rice increased every half-hour. Employees were constantly on the phone, announcing price changes by the time one reached the checkout
counter.
Many Argentines were fed up. The costs of basic necessities were jumping up faster than their shape-shifting salaries. They had tried stocking goods, often buying 10 bags of milk instead of one, but the cost continued to double within the same day.
"The images of the looters were the exact same as of the recent earthquake in Chile," Santhia said. "People were stealing from the supermarkets trying to find basic food, you know? Pasta, rice, things like that. Not brands. People were fighting to survive."
On Dec. 19, 2001, several policemen began firing at the bottom of a school while a supermarket was being looted. A well-known social activist by the name of Claudio "Pocho" Lepratti climbed to the roof to protect the kids who were eating inside.
"Like the L.A.P.D., the policeman have an 'easy trigger' here," Santhia said. "I remember that we paid a lot of attention to when the policeman killed the black guy (Oscar Grant) in the California streets. A lot of riots started to appear in the United States. Imagine the same situation here but in a more reduced state. People were not destroying stuff. They were trying to find food."
Some jeopardized their survival to stop the fighting.
The hyperinflation-induced chaos occurred during a time of both renewed hope and distorted confusion. The military dictatorship had recently ended, democracy was restored and the people of Argentina were amidst a search for a conclusion of the Dirty War. When President Raul Alfonsin was forced to resign because of hyperinflation, Argentines looked for other individuals to blame.
"You sons of bitches!" shouted Lepratti. "There are kids eating in there!"
The policemen shot him without hesitation.
Some cursed the corrupt bankers.
Some cursed the International Monetary Fund.
Others cursed the USA.
They took one step towards the problems waiting on the horizon, but could not seem to walk as one unified nation: "A typical Argentine is like MacGyver - they can solve anything," Santhia said. "We don't use those skills for a national benefit, but rather just for personal gain. I think we have a lot of clever people, but they go to other countries to become doctors and engineers. We haven't found a way to use our talents altogether. You know? Synergy."
With a vehement distrust for the financial system, the country shifted its monetary exchange to something more off the grid. The rich bought real estate. The middle class bought dollars. Many started keeping their money "bajo el colchon," or "under the mattress." No one knew if they would have their money the next day.
One would imagine that a country that has been through multiple economic crises, incidents of government corruption, and a "dirty war" that killed thousands of its citizens would be hopeless about the future. As a professor of international marketing, Gaston Santhia sees it quite the opposite.
"Just because economic problems originate in the USA doesn't mean they are to blame," Santhia said. "The most clear example is when I receive American students on their first day in this country. The average American person thinks like us. We want similar things for the human future. We all want peace. We all want the same world. We all want to take care of the environment. We all think the same way."

POLITICS
Upcoming elections have effect on foreign policy
Who we elect on Tuesday will have the most power when it comes to our international relations and national security. President Obama has had to take a giant step back in the international sphere because of domestic needs and is unlikely to make any significant progress internationally in the remaining two years of his term. He's already canceled two major foreign trips in the past few months. A major Republican victory on Tuesday will leave him with very little political capital to accomplish anything of note.
With unemployment at 9.6 percent and the national debt at $13 trillion and rising it's no wonder foreign policy issues have been largely ignored by the candidates and talking heads alike this midterm season. Though tackling these economic problems is rightly first on voters' list of priorities, it's important to know what to expect should Republicans win back the House, as is predicted, or even the Senate.
As Christopher Preble from the CATO Institute puts it, "The question is whether it's worth spending political capital on foreign initiatives important to him but maybe not so much to the bulk of the American people"
START will not be the only victim of the likely Republican
So how will the new Congress vote differently than the current in regards to foreign policy? President Obama's unfinished business of ratification of the new nuclear arms control treaty with Russia, START, will likely be put on hold for a great while longer. Even a few more Republican votes in the Senate will put this treaty on hiatus. The importance of this treaty for our national security and the future of disarmament can not be understated.

Let's Talk Policy
victory on Tuesday. Withdrawal of troops in Iraq, the closing of our prison camps at Guantanamo Bay, and an international agreement on climate change will also be put on the back burner. A Republican Congress will also be more prone to increase sanctions on Iran and North Korea unilaterally and quick to punish China for its currency manipulation.
No one wants a return to the days of President Bush's "cowboy diplomacy." We need to be careful not to elect a Congress that will damage the new-found international credibility we've garnered. Many of the solutions our new Congress comes up with for international issues will be irreversible. And though bipartisanship has gone completely out of style, we need our legislators to be willing to cooperate with President Obama on his agenda.
If any of this sounds scary or new to you it's because foreign policy hasn't been an issue in this election like the economy has. Unfortunately, while our new Congress is busy solving unemployment the world will not stand still. The United States will be needed more than ever to help solve the many global threats. When heading to the polls Tuesday remember to elect the candidate you trust to solve issues at home and abroad.
Adams is a junior from Overland Park in international studies and political science.

Students traveling to D.C. for rallies
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scrollins@kansan.com
scollins@kansan.com
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are getting serious about the elections.
The two funnymen have paired up and planned a joint event, taking place tomorrow at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity" and Colbert's "March to Keep Fear Alive" have attracted some local interest — a group of students plan to attend the demonstration.
demonstrations Despite the comedians' sarcastic and satirical reputations, Conrad
Hudson, a junior from Topeka, said he thought that the rally was all about moderation. In Hudson's opinion, the event is meant to counter news about political extremists and remind people to have calm dialogues, not shouting matches, when it comes to politics.
when it comes to providing "So it's simultaneously providing an alternative, saner voice and at the same time poking a little fun at some people who take themselves a little too seriously." Hudson said.
little too seriously. He said he wanted to be a part of history, especially because two comedians were getting together to put on such an event.
"That got be a first," Hudson
said.
Emma Halling, a freshman from Elkhart, Ind., and president of the KU Young Democrats, said the rally was a way for like-minded people to get together and raise optimism for the future with a dash of good humor.
"It is worth mentioning that a serious goal of some group members is accumulating as many political buttons as possible," Halling said.
said.
Vincent Marshall, a freshman from Chanute, grew up in a conservative family but said he was a born Democrat. He said he was attending the rally and march because he
has been a long-time fan of both Stewart and Colbert.
"I knew I absolutely had to be there," he said.
In light of the Nov. 2 elections, Marshall said it didn't matter if a person voted red or blue as long as they believed in what they were voting for and weren't just following a trend.
"However, I personally believe that if one truly holds compassion for their neighbor and cares about progressing together, as a nation, I feel that person should vote Democratic," he said.

Students get the vote out for GOP
Chase Hems grew up in a liberal state with conservative parents. Surrounded by liberal people and thoughts in California, he kept his Republican roots solid in the ground. A small government, a helpful community and traditional values were all he wanted in his home state. He came to the right place because the KU College Republicans promote Republican campaigns in upcoming elections throughout Lawrence.
"I believe in keeping Kansas red, and hopefully I can take my political views to California," said Hems, a member of KU College Republicans and a freshman from San Diego. "I want to make that red too."
make that red 10%. KU College Republicans joined with a state-wide Republican campaigning program called Clean Sweep again this year to promote registered voters to vote Republican across the board.
Daniel Heady, vice president of KU College Republicans and a senior from Prairie Village, said the program provided a more organized way of reaching out to voters in the in third and second districts in Lawrence. Student volunteers walked door-to-door distributing packets of information about each Republican who is running in the election. Heady said the goal of this program was to "streamline the process" so that voters aren't talking to four different people about four different campaigns.
"Obviously Kansas is a red state and has been for some time," Heady said. "But we have some competitive races at the

same time."
Jacob Peterson, a member of KU College Republicans and a freshman from Osage City, said the group wants the best for all Kansas residents. A smaller government and more community action can be more beneficial than a large government miles away, he said.
"I think that people can help others more than the government can help others," Peterson said.
The group has also used phone banks from Kevin Yoder's campaign to call voters and encourage them to vote Republican. Yoder is a Republican candidate running for the third district's congressional seat. Hems said all students should get in the voting process, so anyone who wanted to help should help the group talk to as many Lawrence voters as possible.
"Students are the proud future of America and they need to make the best decisions." Hems said. "They need to stand up for who they are and vote for who they believe in."

Cult classic lives on three decades after its release
MARIA PELICAN
Kyle Reid, a junior from Wichita, presents his costumes in front of a casket before SUA's interactive showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" Thursday at the Kansas Union. Guests were given a free prop pack before the night's festivities. Activities for the night included a dance competition of "Time Warp Dance", a best costume contest and a showing of the feature film.
Halloween revives interest in film full of eccentricities
BY KELLY MORGAN
kmorgan@kansan.com
Few can forget the first time they heard "slut" lied in a theater.
"I was really surprised and had no idea what was going on," said Bea Kilat, SUA films and media coordinator. "But once I figured out what to do I started shouting along with everyone else and got really into it."
Kilat is referring to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a 1975 cult film that stars Tim Curry as a sweet transvestite named Dr. Frank'nFurter and Susan Sarandon as the naive slut Janet. The interactive film, notorious for its sexually charged plot and catchy tunes, played last night during an SUA showing in front of a raucous crowd of toast-throwers and time warp dancers.
"The group aspect to 'Rocky Horror' just really enhances the whole movie experience," said Douglas Redding, the video store manager at Liberty Hall. "It makes it more than a movie."
Thirty-five years after its initial release, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" remains a hit. With popular shows like "Glee" featuring Rocky Horror-themed episodes, University students are familiar with the film's role in pop culture.
"It sort of has this mystique about it because it is a classic and has been around for so long," said Kent Szlauderbach, a senior from Wichita. "The songs are really memorable and it's just a fun time when you go."
In addition to its popular soundtrack, many students look to the film for an opportunity to
temporarily break free from social norms.
"It's one of those things where you're not just allowed, and encouraged, to be loud and obnoxious," Kilat said. "It's just fun to do something that you normally can't do."
Even students who aren't "Rocky Horror" fans admit that the movie is a big part of Halloween.
"It's a tradition." Szaulderbach said. "It's just one of those activities that happens this time every year."
Students who missed SUA's "Rocky Horror Picture Show" can attend Liberty Hall's presentation this Saturday at midnight. Props are not included in the $7 entrance fee.

MBA students raise funds for health in rural Kansas
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughtonkansan.com
The University's women's MBA chapter is hosting a watch party tonight in Lawrence for the second annual "Hoops for Hope" charity basketball game in Coldwater.
According to its website, the WEPAC Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources and education to encourage women in these communities to take active responsibility for their health. The proceeds from the event will continue to bring preventative medical screening and cancer awareness to women in rural Kansas.
"Hoops for Hope" is organized by the WEPAC Alliance, which derives its name from the towns it serves: Wilmore, Englewood, Protection, Ashland and Coldwater.
Last year's watch party in Lawrence, which raised $1200, inspired four other watch parties in Topeka, Manhattan, Kansas City, Mo., and Iowa City, Iowa. All the watch parties will be competing to raise the most money. The winner will be announced during the game.
Benjamin Anderson, CFO of Ashland Health Center, said last year's event raised $70,000 and allowed the community to provide 100 mammograms, 25 colonoscopies and 50 pap smears. The goal for this year is $100,000.
Wayne Martin, co-owner of the bar, said it's always good to align with charities.
"Whatever avenues we can use to generate money for this is a good avenue," he said.
The watch party in Lawrence will be at Wayne & Larry's Sports Bar & Grill, 933 Iowa St.
LOCAL
Those who donate will also be rewarded. The Graduate Business Council will provide people who donate the suggested $10 with a WEPAC wristband and unlimited access to two kegs.
Debbie Filson, employee of Ashland Health Center and treasurer of WEPAC, said services can be expensive. She said that without insurance mammograms cost about $180, pap smears cost $139 and colonoscopies cost about $2600 at the Ashland Health Center.
Thanks to fundraising by WEPAC Alliance, women in these communities no longer have to drive an hour or more to Dodge City or Wichita for basic health services and are eligible to receive financial assistance.
"People couldn't afford it so they were just skipping them," Anderson said.
Boone Bradley, a second year MBA student from Wichita, attended the watch party last year and plans to go again this year. Bradley said it can be hard for men to feel a connection with the cause, but that the watch party is a way to get everybody involved while supporting a charity and having a good time.
According to Ashland city data, the 2008 estimated income per capita was $26,196, compared with Wichita, which had an income per capita of $38,552 in 2009, according to the CNN Money website.
Many students are not aware of these communities in need. Anderson said it may be hard for students to understand how they have affected communities that are hours away from Lawrence. But he thinks change begins on college campuses.
"Never underestimate what a student can do by showing up to
a watch party and having a beer and buying a T-shirt," Anderson said. "Students can move and change the world — they certainly changed ours"
The two teams will consist of current and former WNBA players, as well as high school and college female athletes. The University's band and cheerleaders, along with Kansas State cheerleaders, are participating in the fundraiser.
Ivanna Catic is a second year MBA student from Serbia. She is also a former Kansas basketball player and will be playing in the game for the second year. Catic said she has a different mentality during this game from "regular games."
"You're like, 'I have this gift and I'm really using it for the bettermeant of this community." Catic said. "We ask for very little but for those people it's like their life."
The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Midwest at 7 p.m.

Jayhawks prepare for own version of the World Series
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The lights will be on, the stands will be filled and the crisp new turf will be put to use when the World Series is held at Hoglund Ballpark this weekend. There aren't any Giants or Rangers in this World Series though, only Jayhawks.
This weekend will be showtime for Kansas baseball, as they will be playing in their Crimson and Blue World Series. This is the finale after a long stretch of fall practices for the squad.
"I thought we had been a little stale the last couple of weekends," said coach Ritch Price. "We try to make it a little more competitive for the final weekend."
Play will begin Friday at 4:15
p.m. Game two will be Saturday
at 2:30 p.m. and, if necessary, the deciding third game will be played Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
Senior pitcher Jimmy Waters is heading the Blue team as captain, and senior outfielder Casey Lytle is captain of the Crimson team. The captains pick the teams, make the lineups and will be making coaching decisions during the games. The competition between the two captains, who also happen to be roommates, is evident, as each believes his team is stronger.
Price made a prediction in regards to the competition.
"I've gotta give the edge this time to Waters." Price said.
to Waters. Price said. The event will likely be full of trash-talk between the teams.
"There's plenty of smack-talk going around in the locker room and there will be plenty going
around on the field when were playing." Waters said. "It makes people get after it"
The losing team has to arrive early to help set up and staff the jayhawk Fun Zone before the football game between Kansas and Oklahoma State Nov. 20. The winning team will sign autographs at the event and the losers will have extra running in practice.
"It just makes everything a little more competitive out there," Waters said.
But Waters' team could have trouble this weekend.
"Not to brag or anything but this past week my team was 3-0, and Jimmy had to run triangles everyday," Lytle said. "If trends hold true, he might be working the Fun Zone."

Jayhawks look to send their seven seniors off in style with a victory
BY JACKSON DELAY
jdelay@kansan.com
Through soccer Noble says that she has gained her 27 best friends.
Noble started all 18 games this year, and leads the team in minutes played. The senior from Overland Park has scored two goals this year and recorded an assist.
Senior forward Caitlin Noble will join seven of her fellow seniors in playing their last game in their Kansas career today.
Kansas will play its last match of the season as they take on SIU Edwardsville at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex at 3 p.m.
"I don't think it reflects the type of team we are, or reflects our talent. That is what is most frustrating about it," she said.
She also said that she has learned values that she will take with her.
"It has been such a growing experience. Athletics really treats athletes, like you can persevere when you think you can't run anymore — that kind of thing," she said.
Winning the seniors final game as jayhawks will take an improvement to the offense. Coach Mark Francis said the defense has improved this year, but he also knows good defense alone can't win games.
we've given up a lot less goals defensively this year, and our goal-keeper this year has been good," he said. "If you let a goal in, which against the teams we're playing it is probably going to happen, you have to be able to score some to make up for that."
Scoring is not something that Kansas has become familiar with this year. Kansas has been on the wrong end of eight shutouts this year.
ence in scoring from last year to this year. Last year the team had 47 goals at season's end, and with one game left this year, they only have 14.
Despite their lack of scoring, Francis feels like the team has been in most of the games this year.
Do you understand the basis of your political decision making?
"That statistic right there tells you how our season has went," Francis said. "We have played pretty well and we have competed hard. It really comes down to finishing."
"If you look at the results we have had, a lot of the games we lost this year have been by one goal. Monday was a classic example. We lost by a goal in overtime," Francis said.

The 2-1 overtime loss at Colorado on Sunday was déjà vu for Kansas. Throughout the season, the layhawks have competed in two overtime games, and two double overtime games, all of which they have lost. Kansas has had their fair share of close games, 11 of their 13 losses coming by two goals or fewer and seven losses being by just one goal.
Francis said it has been frustrating losing that many close games.
The only game we weren't in, in the entire season was Georgia. Every other game we have been in the game. That is the frustrating thing," he said.
Noble said that it is important for the seniors to try to go out on a win.
"To go out with at least the last game as a win, I think it would at least shine some sort of light on the type of class we have been," she said.

Jayhawks rank behind Wildcats in AP poll
The Jayhawks are ranked No.7 in the country in both polls, after the AP Top 25 poll was released yesterday.
Just like in the coaches' poll, Kansas sits four spots behind in-state rival Kansas State at No. 3. The Wildcats, who received two first-place votes, are the only Big 12 team in front of the Jawhaves in the poll.
Missouri checks in at No.15 and Baylor sits one spot behind them at 16. Texas and Colorado, who are both receiving votes but outside the Top 25, round out the Big 12 teams represented in the poll.
The six teams in front of Kansas, in order, are Duke, Michigan State, Kansas State, Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Villanova. It is the exact same top seven as the coaches poll.

Hate the game,not the coach
MORNING BREW
The most interesting matchup in Big 12 basketball might not exactly be on the court.
Sometimes it'll take place a couple feet beyond the sideline. Sometimes it'll be in comfortable offices separated by 85 miles of 1-70. Sometimes it'll be in the living rooms of high school seniors across the country.
It'll be between Frank Martin and Bill Self — a son of Cuban immigrants who was thrust into his position with little expectation and a native Oklahoma who worked his way into one of the most high-pressure college coaching jobs in the nation and thrived
I know that Frank Martin is supposed to be the enemy of all that is good in Lawrence I know he's thrown a wrench in the bigbrother-little-brother dynamic between Jayhawk and Wildcat basketball by earning the No.1 spot in the Big 12 preseason ranking.
But after watching Martin closely for a little while, it's just hard to dislike the guy. It may be easy for Kansas supporters to hate the purple he wears, the team he coaches and every W he puts into K State's record book.
But the man himself — that's just not so easy.
Last week at the Big 12 Media Day in Kansas City, Martin and Self took a break from interviews, kicked back with Texas Tech coach Pat Knight at his table and joked around for a little bit.
Watching the two share laughs with equal infectiousness made me wonder: If I were an all-star basketball recruit in Kansas this year, which one would I want to play for in college?
BY JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com
Right, right, it's a stupid question. Who
wouldn't want to come to the place where basketball was invented and play in an arena with five national title banners hanging from the rafters? Sometimes, however, it's more about the man who will be teaching you, prodding you and screaming at you for the next four (or three, or two, or one) years.
At first glance, Self and Martin seem like natives of different worlds. Two decades ago, Self was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State. Martin was an assistant at a high school in Miami, Florida. Ten years ago, Self had just taken over at the University of Illinois where he led the team to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. Martin had just left Booker T. Washington High School for an assistant coach job at Northeastern University.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Three years ago, Self was preparing for what would be his national championship year. Martin was being handed the keys to a program that was reeling from Bob Huggins' sudden departure. Many people expected him to be a temporary fill-in while a "real" replacement could be found.
Very few could have predicted how things would look two years later. Martin reached the Sweet 16, was named Big 12 coach of
the year, and received a contract extension through 2015 worth more than $1.5 million per year.
It's not easy to propel a program to the level of expectation that Martin has. But keeping a team at the top of the college basketball world is a different task — one that Self has fulfilled. As the gravitational pull of the two programs shifts the center of the basketball universe even nearer to the state of Kansas, there's no better place for a basket ball fan to be than the Sunflower State
But back to the recruiting choose-your-own-adventure — it'd be nearly impossible to turn down the experience of playing for a coach with a national championship ring and a program as storied as Kansas.
But then there's the guy who has, at least in the eyes of this year's pollsters, built a better team than the traditional powerhouse. And something tells me he'd be equally difficult to turn down.

Teams to compete in Big 12 Championship
BY LAUREN NEWMAN
Inewman@kansan.com
The men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Stillwater, Okla., Saturday to compete in the Big 12 Championship. This competition will be as tough as their last meet because there are at least four or five nationally ranked teams competing against the lajwhaws.
Sophomore Josh Baden from the men's team still feels that there is determination left within in the KU men's team to carry
"We've been very optimistic at how we want to do at the Big 12 meet. We have been thinking what teams we need to stay up with and continue to be competitive," Baden said.
As for the women's team, senior Amanda Miller feels that as a team they are physically there but they did not capitalize
them on to their upcoming meet Their main lesson thus far has been on how to work together as a team and knowing that they must pick up the pace this weekend in order to compete well against the other teams.
strategically in their last meet. The women's team hopes to use the last meet for motivation because there were teams from the Big 12, like Nebraska and Kansas State, who it feels are on the same competition level as them. As long as the team can use Miller as a vocal leader it can bounce back after its last meet.
"Coming back from the last meet wasn't something we wanted but we're trying to remain positive. Talking about the work outs and races is really key in trying to keep the team moral high," Miller said.
Another thing that the KU women's team has been working on and focusing on this entire season is running as a pack. As a team they hope to execute this plan early on in the race and come out strong.
Sophomore Kyra Kilwein agrees with Miller when trying to keep the positive vibe strong within the team.

transition to Turner Gill's system;
a bowl game would have been a surprise to many this season.
Excluding the surprise upset of
Georgia Tech in Week 2 and the win over abysmal New Mexico State (1-6), the Jayhawks haven't been able to score or stop anybody. The team is currently 112th nationally in scoring offense and 103rd in scoring defense.
When not worrying about mastering the new system, injuries
have plagued the Kansas locker room. Safety Keeston Terry is out for the season with a knee injury to go along with the injuries at quarterback.
Gill also announced the onegame suspensions of running back Deshaun Sands and kick-returner D.J. Beshears for Saturday's game.
Angus Quigley and James Sims will handle the rushing duties Saturday.
"We have two running backs who can handle the ball." Gill said. "Those guys have played quite a bit already, so it just means they're going to get more touches."
Beshears, on the other hand, has
been one of the lone bright spots in the Kansas offense this season. The sophomore kick returner/running back leads the team in all-purpose yards with 765 on the season.
With all the injuries and suspensions leading up to Saturday's 1 p.m. kickoff in Ames, Gill sees the changes in personnel
as an opportunity for players.
"We all know everyone wants to play here, so it gives an opportunity for someone to come in and see what they can do and make a difference on our football team."

STATE 4 KU 23
Junior cornerback Ryan Murphy sacks Iowa State quarterback Austin Arnaud for a two-yard loss during the Jayahwks' game against the Cyclones last season at Memorial Stadium. Kansas will face Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, Saturday at 1 p.m.
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads started his Big 12 coaching career last season much like Kansas coach Turner Gill, with a matchup against North Dakota State. Rhoads, however, beat the Bison on his way to a 7-6 record and a victory over Minnesota in the Insight Bowl. Gill's loss to North Dakota State is one of the many tough losses the Kansas football team has experienced in 2010, and a bowl game is all but out of the question for the Jayhawks. Rhoads advised that first year struggles are nothing new for coaching staffs.
"The transition year is a challenging one," Rhoads said during his Big 12 teleconference Monday. "You just have to get your philosophy and your program established, and sometimes it takes a little longer to get it done."
The Cyclones took one step closer to establishing their program last week, when they traveled to Austin and took out the Texas Longhorns 28-21, improving their record to 4-4 on the season. Kansas, on the other hand, is still looking for its first conference win. The Jayhawks have been outscored 159-24 in losses to Baylor, Kansas State and Texas A&M to open Big 12 play. The Jayhawks were going to be limping into Ames with a 2-5 record and no momentum. Crawling might be a better term, however, after injuries to quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Kale Pick last week.
Junior college transfer Quinn Mecham will get his first start as a Jayhawk. He relieved the injured quarterback duel late against Texas A&M, being sacked and throwing an interception on his pair of passing attempts. Now practicing with the first team offense, Gill has seen more excitement out of the team this week at practice.
STATE
As a two-year starter at Snow Junior College, Mecham threw for 3,091 yards and 40 touchdowns. He transferred to Kansas in December but hadn't seen any play time before last week.
"He's actually brought some energy to the team," Gill said of Mecham. "Our guys are excited and they've rallied around him, and he's ready to step in and get better."

Kansas aims to end four-game losing streak
The squad takes on the Texas Tech Red Raiders tomorrow
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The best chance for Kansas to break its recent losing streak may come tomorrow in Lawrence. The Jayhawks return to Horejsi Family Athletics Center for a rematch with the Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-18, 1-11 Big 12) after falling in three sets Wednesday at Missouri.
Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said the team needed a win.
"We have eight games left, and time's running out," she said.
Missouri previously losing to Oklahoma,
Texas and Iowa State.
Texas Tech's Oct. 2 win against Kansas was its first Big 12 win in three years, snapping the Raiders'
with an average of 3.49 kills per set, while junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield follows with 2.99 kills per set. The team has seen good performances from redshirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who has a hitting percentage of .270 and 80 blocks on the season. Jarmoc scored three service aces in a row on Wednesday.
On defense, freshman libero Brianne Riley leads the team in digs on the season with an average of 3.66 per set. Riley has recently returned to regular play after sitting several matches out because of a minor head injury suffered at Colorado.

COMMENTARY
Notre Dame death could have been prevented
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
I don't care that Brian Kelly, Notre Dame's coach, isn't winning in his first season on the job. What I do care about, deeply, is that he needlessly endangered the life of a 20-year old Notre Dame student so he could have football practice outside.
Declan Sullivan, part of the video crew that films Notre Dame's practices, was killed Wednesday afternoon when the 50-foot-tall scissor lift tower he was filming from was blown over in winds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
The worst thing about it? It's no secret: the danger faced by going up in a scissor lift tower in high winds. One company that deals with scissor lifts, HSS Hire, has a warning on its website with regards to the danger of a 32-foot tower: "Do not use if wind speed exceeds 28 mph."
Wednesday's winds were almost twice that. Sullivan knew the danger he was in. He was afraid of going up in that tower and he was afraid of staying there. Sullivan tweeted twice about the winds. The first, about two hours before the tower's collapse, was disturbing prescient.
I'll admit that I played only one season of football in seventh grade, but I find it hard to believe that practicing outside in gale-force winds is any more productive than being inside on a practice field.
"Declan was a diligent student worker in our video department and had a tremendous personality and great sense of humor." Kelly said in a press release. "He brightened the days for all that had the privilege to work with him, and the Notre Dame football family will dearly miss him."
Makes me sick to my stomach. Someone should have gotten that kid out of the tower. Someone should have had the sense and courtesy and the responsibility to say that practice should have been inside or, at the very least, that they could go without the film from on high. And that someone should have been Kelly
"Gusts of wind up to 60mph
well today will be fun at work... I
guess I've lived long enough :/ "
Kelly was forced to take practice inside Tuesday because of the high winds. Wednesday they blew with the same force, but practice was outside. What gives? Why the difference?
Some "family." Kelly was so worried about Sullivan's fate Wednesday that practice continued for almost half an hour after the tower collapsed and Sullivan was taken to the hospital, where he died.
"Holy fuck holy fuck this is terrifying."
The second was sent while he was in the tower, less than an hour before it toppled.
Declan Sullivan was wrong about one thing. He had not lived long enough.
Declan Sullivan didn't need to die.
