students. Ron Paul kids, crusty Ralph Nader devotees, here is your chance to vote for a fifth-party candidate. Just think how cool and counterculture that will make you feel.
And no matter which selection you make,you will be voting to replace a controversial incumbent that is hated at home and abroad and is primarily supported by a vocal (and frequently drunk) demographic.Hm,that's nothing
like this presidential election.
Our generation has been given a bad name. It's time to change that perception and show everyone that we're not just crazy kids with backward hats and hippityhop music.
The so-called Greatest Generation had to face the Great Depression and a world war. Until now, our generation had no comparable challenges to face down.
The challenge of our age has appeared, and we must defeat it. Apathy is no longer an option — not when the reputation of our saintly University athletics program is on the line.
No longer.
It's time to get angry and get active. After all, who needs "change you can believe in" when we've got change you can sarcastically belittle?

"We all know we're going to be good," Aldrich said. "It might take a little while to get there because we have such a young team and don't know how to play with each other yet. It's all going to come."
The Tar Heels,however,reload.
Perhaps a better comparison than last season's Florida team for Kansas would be the 2005 North Carolina Tar Heels. North Carolina returned only one of its top eight players a year after winning the national championship.

Henrickson said that Goodrich's teammates were upset but that she knew they would be able to regroup.

If the surgery and rehabilitation are successful, Goodrich will return as a redshirt freshman for the 2009-10 season.
The Jayhawks will take the court for the first time this season on Nov. 2 against Fort Hays State for an exhibition game. The regular season begins Nov. 14 when Kansas plays Sacred Heart.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Parking & Transit office of the University of Kansas solicits public comment on the following matter regarding the Park & Ride Express. Due to overcrowded buses leaving the main campus en route to the Park & Ride Lot, the Transit Commission is proposing to eliminate the outbound stop at the intersection of Irving Hill Road and Engel Road between the hours of 6:30 am and 5:00 p.m. on days when classes are in session. This change will reduce passenger overcrowding by forcing passengers, whose destination is one of the Daisy Hill residence halls, to use the Campus Express Route 21. Park & Ride Express buses will stop at the intersection of Irving Hill and Engel Roads after 5:00 pm on class days and on days when classes are not in session but service is provided.
Comment from the public will be taken at a meeting scheduled for October 30, 2008, between the hours of 4:30 and 6:00 pm in The Regionalist Room on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union on the campus of the University of Kansas. Comments can be e-mailled to kupar@ku.edu or mailed to Parking & Transit Public Comment, 1501 Irving Hill Road, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, by 4:00 pm, October 30, 2008.
