Volleyball earns first success
By Adam Herschman
Kansan sports writer
After losing to Ball State, Purdue, and Oregon State, the Kansas volleyball team rallied to defeat Weber State for its first win of the season this weekend at the Oregon State Tournament in Corvallis, Ore.
"The thing I was really pleased to see is that we were really aggressive," Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise said. "They worked and they earned that match."
Tied at two games apiece, the Jayhawks took a 10-7 lead in the fifth and decisive game. The Jayhawks (1-3) won the fifth game 21-19, after Weber State battled back and forced a couple of game points.
Schonewise said the team was not
competing hard on Friday against either the Cardinals or Boilermakers, but turned around their performance on Saturday.
"I think they're still learning how to push themselves," Schonewise said. "We really only competed hard for a match and two thirds."
Kansas' freshmen had a positive showing this weekend.
Freshman outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht led the team with five kills against Ball State, and had six against Purdue. Kansas redshirt freshman Anné Kreimer had four kills in both matches on Friday against the Cardinals and Boilermakers.
Kreimer said the final game felt good to win because it seemed it was never going to end.
"When you lose three games it's
kind of unsetting." Kreimer said.
Junior middle blocker Maggie Mohrfeld and junior right side hitter Kendra Kahler each recorded 10 kills against Purdue.
Kahler was forced to play left side hitter during part of the tournament because sophomore Moira Donovan wasn't at full strength.
Schonewise said Donovan had a sore throat and fever, but still managed to play in some of the matches.
After the tournament the Jayhawks spent Sunday touring Portland, Ore. Among the activities was a tour of a Japanese garden, as well as free time to walk around downtown.
The Jayhawks are predicted to finish second to last in the Big 12 Conference in a preseason vote by the conference's volleyball coaches.
Kansas sophomore setter Laura Johde said that the team is a better ham than how they played this weekend.
"Hopefully, we can prove those calls wrong." Robbie said.
Kansas will participate in the St. Louis tournament this weekend gainst Alabama, St. Louis, Butler, northeast Missouri State.
Albrecht said it was good leaving he Oregon State Tournament with a win.
This weekend will be special for albrecht because she will be going to St. Louis to compete in rent of her family for the first time is a Jahawk.
"We just need to be confident," Albrecht said. "We have nothing to ose."
Freshman swimmers choose Kansas for sports and academics
By Matt Woodruff
Kansan sports writer
The freshmen swimmers don't have to wait until their first race on Sept. 14 to find out just how tough the NCAA is. Just ask Jennifer Fox or Sherry West, who have been through a week of Kansas swimming practice.
"I've been overwhelmed," West said. "It's been very hard to get used to."
"It's definitely a lot tougher than high school," Fox said. "I guess I was kind of expecting it, but it's a big adjustment."
Although the practices have been brutal, both Fox, who is from Ohio, and West, who moved to Kansas from North Carolina, feel that they chose the right school.
Both swimmers said that one of the reasons they chose Kansas was the reputation of Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf.
"I love the team, the campus, and the student support here is great." Fox said.
"I really like him a lot," Fox said. "He's very energetic, straightforward, and he's a great coach."
Although Kempf has a reputation for being strict, both swim
mers said he had been easy to get along with.
West and Fox have similar majors and said that the academic side of Kansa attracted
Garv Kemdf
Just as much as swimming. "Swimming attracted me, but Kansas has a very good sports medicine program, which is what I want to do," West said.
Fox is undeclared, but plans to major in athletics training.
They have each set short-term as well as long-term goals for themselves.
Fox wants to place in the top six at Big 12 Conference meets and do well academically, while West wants to make the NCAA Championships.
"I would like to do well at conference (meets), and make the NCAA's, if not this year then the next." West said.
"I just want to give everything I've got, in school and in swimming," Fox said.
Satellites give golfers a global advantage
By Cameron Heeg Kansan staff reporter
Golfers escaping their fast-paced lives by hitting the links need to beware of the satellite technology that is making its way into the golf experience.
Government systems used to help hackers map out courses
An increasing number of golf courses are installing monitoring systems in their golf carts to benefit both the players and course management.
and give a birds-eye view of the course.
Leading Edge Technologies' system, called ProLink , uses the Global Positioning System of satellites in connection with receivers in the clubhouse and golf carts. The Global Positioning System is a collection of 24 government-owned satellites that continually transmit precise time and their position in space to receivers on the ground. The player can get a detailed course layout, individual hole presentation, view of the green and pin location, weather conditions, distance of last shot, distance to the hole and pro tips on how best to play the hole. The clubhouse receiver can determine the location of the carts
The location receiver in the cart also allows the course managers to communicate and receive information from the golfers. Managers can use the system to respond to a range of concerns from medical assistance to refreshment requests as well as monitoring the speed of play.
Koko Pelli Golf Course in Chandler, Ariz., recently installed the satellite positioning system.
"It has been well received by the players," said Tim Gray, course general manager. "It gives them great tips and a great view of the hole. We can also check on how long it is taking people to play each hole. If it took too long for a hole to be played, we might take a look at adjusting the course to help play on those holes."
Bart Patterson, assistant managing director for Leading Edge Technologies, said there had been a large demand for the system.
"Sales have been excellent and customer feedback is pleasantly surprising," he said. "Course owners are looking at their golf courses more as businesses. It can be used to help the course and the golfers."
Patterson said the product would soon find its way to many local 18-hole courses.

Yankee Cone's return to mound just misses historic mark
Jose Herrera ruined the no-hitter chance with an infield single
OAKLAND, Calif. — David Cone's first start since having an aneurysm removed from his pitching arm was dramatic — and nearly historic.
The Associated Press
Cone, coming back from shoulder surgery four months ago that some thought might end his season, pitched seven hitts innings yesterday in the New York Yankees' 5-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
His chance to join Mariano Rivera,
who closed the game, on the first combined no-hitter in the major leagues since 1991 was ruined when Jose Herrera got an infield single with one out in the ninth.
Cone, whose fingers were numb and blue after his previous start on May 2, struck out six and walked three before Yankees manager Joe Torre removed him after 85 pitches. Cone (5-1) had been on a 100-pitch limit, but allowed two hard-hit balls in the seventh.
A couple of defensive plays in the seventh kept the no-hitter alive.
"If Joe was going to leave the decision to me, I'm going back out there and throwing caution to the wind," Cone said.
Third baseman Charlie Hayes dove to his right to snare a grounder by Mark McGwire, and Bernie Williams reached over the center.

Cecil Fielder hit his 33rd homer, a solo shot in the eighth, and drove in another run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the sixth. Fielder reached 100 RBIs for the fourth time in his career.
Hayes hit a solo shot as the Yankees scored three in the seventh. It was Hayes' first homer since joining the Yankees last Friday in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He had 10 homers for the Pirates
Ariel Prieto (4-7) allowed four runs on eight hits in 61-3 innings for the Athletics.
