Sunflower Showdown toned down

Still. Big 12 Conference schools must give visiting schools 4,000 tickets. Kansas State sold its 4,000 by the end of September and requested and received 1,000 more. K-State fans now are being referred to the Kansas ticket office.
Last weekend's 33-17 victory against the then 17th-ranked Colorado spurred fans to purchase about 1,000 more tickets Monday, said associate athletics director Richard Konzem
One KU student said it's a lack of support in Lawrence, not in Manhattan, that has caused the rivalry to fizzle.
"Down there, the whole community gets involved," said Bill Hill, Topeka senior.
Hill attended Kansas State his freshman year in college.
"At KU, football doesn't really have a place in Lawrence," he said. "It's not even comparable."
Former Kansas State football player Erick Harper said the lack of Kansas fan support doesn't say anything about the rivalry with a Wildcat's perspective.
"I don't think it's lost its flare," Harper said. "I know from our fans perspective, it's still one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, of the year."
For those that will be playing Saturday, no sentiment rinks truer.
"This game is probably the biggest, if not the most important game, of my college career." Glasgow said.
So maybe the rivalry hasn't fizzled out, but even Harper agrees that it is diminishing.
"Maybe a little bit, but nothing to where I sense that the rivalry is going to fade away," he said. "Not even close to that. As long as you've got alumni that are from the state of Kansas, that rivalry will always be there."
Fraternities look past rivalry to support charitable cause
Kansan staff writer
By Sarah Hale
The negative aspects of the University of Kansas and Kansas State University rivalry, such as pranks and unsportsmanlike attitudes, often overshadow the positive parts of the match-up.
One example of this is two fraternity chapters, one from each university, working together to raise money for leukemia research.
Members from both chapters of the
Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity will run along Highway 24 today from Manhattan to Lawrence to bring a football game ball to Memorial Stadium.
The 70-mile relay-style run marks the 25th annual Fiji Run for Leukemia.
"It's a great opportunity for our fraternities to come over a rivalry and support a worthy cause," said Mark Fleske, KU Phi Gamma Delta philanthropy chair.
Fleske said that the chapter members have been collecting donations
After the first quarter of tomorrow's football game, fraternity members will present a check to the society. Last year, they donated $19.95.
Each university is expecting to raise $14,000. Fleske said.
During the last 24 years, chapter members have donated more than $320,000 for leukemia research, which makes them Kansas' largest contributor.

Democrats advocated in speech

He said Republicans were trying to override the voice of the American people who had elected Bill Clinton.
"It's a scary proposition that the president has to answer questions because he stained a $39 dress from the Gap," Moore said.
Living up to his outspoken reputation, film producer Michael Moore did not mince words as he harshly criticized congressional Republicans at a political rally held last night at Douglas County Democratic Headquarters. Sivith and New Hammett streets
A primary reason Moore decided to get involved in this year's elections was because of the legal inquiry of President Bill Clinton.
Moore went on to issue a blanket plea for Americans to vote a straight Democratic ticket, even though Moore
admitted he did not vote for Clinton in his second campaign.
He said voters should fight cynicism and apathy to ensure Democratic victories that would send a message to Republicans.
He did endorse Dennis Moore, D-Lenexa, against U.S. Rep. Vince Snowbarger, R-Olathe. The two Moores are not related, and Dennis Moore did not attend the rally.
"This is the time you can really stick it to them." Moore said.
After his public speech, Moore said he did not think voters should listen to people from outside their district. But in this case, he wanted to speak in broad terms to draw attention to issues like the environment, campaign finance and the economy.
About 65 people attended the event including high school and college students.
Jim Kelly, Olathe sophomore, said he
found Moore to be entertaining and open minded.
"He looks at things from a different perspective." Kelly said.
Kelly said Moore was an advocate for workers because he has spoken out in the past against the irresponsibility of big corporations. Kelly is president of International Association of Students in Business and Economics.
Sarah Donegan, Olathe junior and KU Young Democrat, said she agreed with Moore's position to vote Democratic in retribution to Republicans investigating Clinton. She also supported Dennis Moore for his views on the environment, education and gun control.
Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition organizer Wes Beal attended the event to show support for Dennis Moore's position on GTAC. Beal said Dennis Moore supported GTAC's right to be unionized as state employees.
Eight car tires slashed in fraternity parking lot

At least eight tires on seven cars parked in front of a University of Kansas fraternity house were slashed early yesterday morning, causing more than $500 in damage. Lawrence police said.
The slashings occurred at the Phi Kappa Psi
house, 1602 W. 15th St. between 12:20 and 12:55 p.m.

house, 1620 w. 15th st., between 12:20 and 12:25 p.m.
Police only had processed reports of seven slashings, but a fraternity member who was one of the victims said that there might have been as many as
Police said that at least five of the cars belonged to KU students.
Witnesses standing across 15th Street at the Jayhawker Towers told police that they had seen three men fleeing west down 15th Street.
"They said the three men appeared to be intoxicated and running with some difficulty," said Lawrence Police Srt. George Wheeler.
Cary Smalley, Leawood sophomore, said he wasn't sure why his house was a target but that it might have been someone angry at the fraternity.
"It was kind of weird," he said. "They mostly only sliced the tires of cars parked in the front, and most of those weren't ours."
He said that only two of the cars with slashed tires belonged to fraternity members.
Smalley said that someone had been shooting paint balls at the house from the Jayhawker Towers three or four hours before the slashings.
Smalley said that police were investigating the paint ball incident in connection to the slashings, but Wheeler said he could not confirm the incidents were being investigated together.
