Jayhawks prepared to take on K-State
Coach and players think game is crucial because of rivalry and mid-season slump
By Rob Wheat
Kansan sportswriter
People used to joke that the Kansas-Kansas State game would decide who end up being ranked ninth in the Big Eight Conference.
Football
The annual rivalry between the two schools would be named the "Toilet Bowl" by a few jeewing fans.
But Kansas coach Glenn Mason doesn't think any of those jokes are the least bit funny as he prepares for the big game. He's prepared for a season Saturday against the Wildcats.
It's a game that Mason and many players hope will leave the Kansas offense and defense with the last laugh, after they find that spark that will help dispel the team's mid-season blues.
"It is a sad state of affairs when people want to make fun of the Kansas-Kansas State, game," Mason said. "I think the last two games between us have been healthy for college football."
Mason said that as far as the players were concerned, the rivalry with KState was just as big as the Ohio State Michigan rivalry.
"You've got a bunch of kids getting together and playing their hearts out, just for the sake of playing." Mason said. "If we have accomplished anything, I now see very little of that." And they are very anxious and I think that's a good one.

Mason said that although tough competition would make the Jayhawks better in the long run, his team also needed victories to gain confidence.

and end up with Missouri.
"We're like the salesman that keeps knocking on the door and doesn't make a sale." Mason said. "It hard to sell your as a better eam like that. When it s all said and you know where to ask how you many you've won."

Quarterback Chip Hilleary the team felt as if they had taken a couple of steps backward in the last two games. He said he wanted this game to be better.
"It itdn't even feel like we were playing last Saturday because of the emotional tempel of the game." Hillary said. "Everybody was just there. I wasn't in the swing of things. The wold game, things did not feel right."
Dana Stubblefield said the defense needed to improve its game and

Team, at 3-3 in conference, travels tomorrow for match with Sooners
'Hawks lose to Jennies despite leads
By Chris Oster
The Kansas volleyball team lost in three games last night to Central Missouri State in a match that brought Kansas coach Frank Abitz to doubt the Jayhawks' killer instinct.

"I just don't think we're mean enough," Albiz said after the 13-15, 5-15, 11-15 loss in Allen Field House. "We put these lead, and then no one
The leads she referred to have been built and lost by Kansas in numerous matches this season. Against CMSU, she came in the first and third game.
In the first game, Kansas came back from a 3-7 deficit and led the Jennies 13-10. After a CMSU timeout, the Jennies rallied to take the game without allowing the Jayhawks another point.
"We get a lead and then hit two or three serves out." Abtzat said. "It's not like we're acting them. When we pass them, they are just passing them around."
Senior April Chavey, who led Kansi in digs with 2), said the loss may have been because of the Jayhawks preparation for Friday match with
In the third game, Kansas took the first three-point lead of a tight game at 11.8 before again shutting down often-situated and failing to score at 11.8. Kansas had two consecutive career opportunities that went wide.

With the loss, Kansas record fell to 12-10. The Jayhawks are fourth in the conference at 3-3 and travel tomorrow to Norman, Okla., for an important meeting with the Sooners. Oklahoma is still leading Eight and currently ranked fifth.
Albitz found no such consolation.
Chavey said that although the Jay hawks were defeated last night, their hitting had been a bright spot in the match.

"I told them in practice that if we lost the first game again I would do something drastic," she said. "I said they would fire up and play better."
Junior Adrian Powell led the Jayhawks in kills with 14 in seven attempts. Kansas had of 46 kills, while CMSU's totaled 56.

REVIEWS
Now Tom Savini has remade the original just in time for Halloween. He has retained the first film's characters and dialogue but failed to create the same claustrophobic atmosphere.
Twenty-two years ago, George Romero marched the country with his new novel "Night of the Living Dead." It became an instant classic and has become one of the best.
virtually the same as the original, but Barbara, the heroine, is now a female Rambo instead of a sniffing dog. The ending is also a decidedly 1980s ending.
The remake is well-made, but no better or worse than most of the other zombie movies on video store platforms. The movie is humorous than others, the new "Night of the Living Dead" is a diverting 90 minutes but offers nothing that you haven't seen before. Bree J. Tache, Special to the Kansas

Belushi is his usual comic self as Larry Burrows, a suburbanian who becomes fed up with the trials and tribulations of his everyday routine.
He wants to change his lackluster life and Mr. Destiny, played by Michael Caine, assists him in his wish.
Burrows is convinced that as a teen-ager, his life was cast into the abyss of mediocrity when he struck down a bully in school world series. The duo travels back in time, and Mr. Destiny changes Burrow's tragic adolescent strike out into a heroic home run, forever altering the course of his

Mr. Destiny* is not an innovative story of story telling. In fact, its characters are often backdating back to the legendary Jimmy Stewart movie, "The A Wonderful Life." The movie is not an example of a story of story telling. In times the dialogue is corny and true.
The movie's greatest appeal is that, in a warm and humorous fashion, the director knows the person is, and no matter what befalls a person in life, things are not always as bad as they seem. And be careful what you wish for, you just might get
