Kansas State fans attending last night's game at Memorial Stadium carry a portion of the goal post they tore down after the game. Several disturbances related to the game happened throughout campus last night after the game in which Kansas lost.
Post game thievery angers fans
Despite some problems students enjoy game
By David Wilson Kansan staff writer
So Kansas lost.
Bryan Dahms could accept that.
But Dahms, a 1988 graduate of KU from Prairie Village, couldn't stand the thought of Kansas State University fans kidnapping the one remaining goal post from the south end of Memorial Stadium.
Neither could his friend, Scott Frankum, Prairie Village freshman, who said Dahmus reached his boiling point after the goal post on the north end was torn down.
"He turned to me and said, 'We're not going to let that one go.' Frankum said.
Dahms then took to the field, yanking people away from the pole, egged on by screams from spectators who were pleading with the goal post-thieves from K-State
to drop the dislodged post.
"He laid on the pole so no one could take it," Frankum said.
Frankum said he and Dahms threw the pole over the crowd control gate inside the stadium to further prevent its theft.
The other post from the north side of the field was taken outside the stadium, but not much farther.
KU and Lawrence police on bicycles stopped a group of about 10 purple-clad men carrying the post on their shoulders through a parking lot on the east side of the stadium.
Before sunrise yesterday, a KU police officer caught eleven K-State students attempting to spray paint the front walk of the Kansas Union purple. The officer told the students to clean up the paint and leave.
Memorial Stadium wasn't the only area on campus threatened by Wildcat fervor.
One police officer took the post away and told the men to leave
But after the game, better-behaved K
State fans said they were pleased with the win. They attributed the 21-13 win to Chad May, K-State's quarterback, who passed for 379 yards.
"Chad May was the man," said Phil Holland, a K-State fan from Bucyrus.
Sullen KU fans agreed that May couldn't be stopped.
"We just couldn't get any pressure on Chad May, plain and simple," said Dan Harrison from Overland Park.
And KU's defense didn't help matters any, said Bob Weir, Chicago sophomore.
"Karsas' defense is horrible," he said.
But after the game, Phil Lesh, Chicago sophomore, gave a calmer analysis.
During the game, one KU fan looking through the fence on the south side of the stadium couldn't keep his opinion of KU's defense to himself. He bellowed obscenities at individual players and tossed a magazine in the air. The magazine landed on a ticket taker's shoulder just inside the fence.
"They just weren't playing well," he said.

Former football GTA sentenced to 73 months
Jeffrey Shanks gets more than six years jail time for rape
By Manny Lopez
Kansan staff writer
After addressing a full courtroom and asking the forgiveness of the Kansas City, Kan. woman he was convicted of raping, Jeffrey Shanks was sentenced to more than six years in jail yesterday.
"I am sorry for not being the kind of man in this relationship that I should have been," he said as his voice cracked.
Although Shanks received 73 months in jail, he could have faced from 68 to 77
--months in jail under Kansas mandatory sentencing guidelines.
"This case is on neither extreme," said Ralph King, Douglas County division one district judge. "But the degree of harm was great, even though he was not the mysterious lurking stranger he was a predator all the same. The fact that he knew her is the scarier part of it."
Shanks, 27, a former KU football graduate teaching assistant, was tried the week of Aug. 22 on two counts of rape. After almost two days of deliberation, a 12-person jury convicted him of one count.
Shanks will spend the next three days in the Douglas County jail before he begins his formal sentence, said Mike Warner, Shanks lawyer.
When Frank Diehl, assistant district attorney, called the case to be heard at 2:25

p. m. yesterday, Shanks' mother began to cry, Shanks, who looked pale and had dark circles under his eyes, kept himself composed while Warner asked the court to consider probation and rehabilitation instead of jail time.
After complimenting Warner on his resourcefulness and complete case
"Mr. Shanks sits in the world of the salvageable," Warner said. "We can't condone or take back the pain, but we ask the court to look at him more than from that conduct in March."
research, King said he thought Shanks was remorseful. Warner had asked King to consider case law from Minnesota that said judges could disregard mandatory sentencing guidelines if certain criteria were met.
The Minnesota factors that, Warner said Shanks met, including advanced education, work history, presence of supportive family and friends, a clean record before his conviction and employment potential.
But Diehl said he thought Shanks was a danger to women and should receive the maximum sentence of 77 months in jail.
"He is just as much a predator as someone who drags a victim off into the bushes." Diehl said. "Seventy-seven months would be a small price to pay for this felony. It only takes one rape to ruin someone's life."
