Where were you on September 11?

From the university daily Kansan associate sports editor:
In high school, Tuesdays during cross country season meant taking a trip to Topeka and running timed miles at cedar crest, the governors mansion. Tuesday, sept. 11, 2001, was a day that changed everything, but not cross country practice. I remember arriving at the governors mansion and seeing the flags flying at half-staff. after parking, cedar crest security officers came out to search our cars and to make sure that we were not carrying anything dangerous. we were finally allowed to continue with our practice, but it was not the same as the week before. The kansan is looking for what you remember about sept. 11. Visit Kansan.com/Sept11 and fill out a submission form. all submissions are due aug. 31. all will be posted on Kansan.com on sept. 11 and select submissions will be printed in the sept. 11 edition of the kansan.

Plan B will be easier to get

Emergency contraceptive will soon be available over the counter

and proof of identification will be required for purchase. Cathy Thrasher, Watkins Memorial Health Center Chief Pharmacist, said she thought the drug should stay prescription only. I think theres a benefit to being seen by a heath care provider to discuss issues of contraception because it ties into your general health and wellbeing, she said. With the drug available over the counter, Thrasher said people may miss out on discussing important health issues with their doctor. Nevertheless, the drug will be available over the counter at Watkins, 1200 Schwegler Drive, as soon as over-the-counter packaging is ready. Thrasher said for products to be sold over the counter there are strict federal guidelines about what needs to be on the label because the patient never visits with a doctor. Watkins currently carries Plan B by prescription only. Students now pay $14 for Plan B, which includes two pills. Thrasher said she didnt know if the price would change once the drug is sold over the counter.

Emergency contraceptive Plan B will be available over the counter later this year for women 18 and older, after a decision made by the Federal Drug Administration last Friday. If taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex, Plan B is 89 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. According to the FDAs Web site, Plan B will be available only in pharmacies or stores staffed by a licensed pharmacist. The drug will be kept behind the counter

Fiddlers still play on Saturday, downpour cancels Sundays competition at park

By DArlA sliPkE
People waited in the pouring rain huddled together under umbrellas, tree branches and the South Park gazebo for 45 minutes Sunday only to hear that the annual state fiddling and picking championship was canceled. The competition was called off for the first time in its 26-year history because of the deluge. About 50 people were registered to compete, but officials said people were still asking to sign up right up until the event was canceled. Diane Gillenwater, an instructor at the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Massachusetts, said that eight of her students were unable to perform. Im disappointed for them, she said. They worked really hard to get ready. The event was not a total washout. People were still able to celebrate their love of music at a jam session held Saturday evening in South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, as a prelude to Sundays competition. Saturdays jam session was a chance for everyone to play togeth-

er before competing the next day. Approximately 300 people showed up to listen. The musicians invited members of the audience to join them or request songs, and also wandered through the crowd playing their music. Children ran around through the maze of folding chairs and blankets scattered about the park lawn.

The Konza swamp Band (Caleb gardner, overland Park, Beth Watts, olathe, Chris DeVictor, Kansas City, Kan., garett White, Kansas City, Kan., and nick gardner, olathe) perform bluegrass tunes to open the 26th annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships. After a morning of overcast skies, rain began to pour during the bands second song. The decision was later made to cancel the competition, which will not be rescheduled. Competitors registration fees were refunded, and vendors were invited to return next year.

a crowd gathered in South Park for the ice cream social and past winner showcase of the 26th annual Kansas State Fiddling & Picking Championships. Although subsequent events were canceled because of rain, the opening event for the weekend featured an open jam session in which many artists performed.

A new plan for the redevelopment of the corner of 11th and Indiana streets would attempt to combine Yello Sub and The Crossing as a way to save the Lawrence landmarks. The proposal came about following the Historic Resources Commissions denial of the original proposal last Tuesday. The next step is to make changes to the proposal and appeal to the city commission either in September or October, depending when the proposal can be re-written. In response, Jeff Morrow, owner of Yello Sub, at an Oread Neighborhood Association meeting on Saturday, comprised of those living on the north side of campus, introduced a new building model he thought would be better received by neighbors. Morrows proposal had many differences from the original building in the proposal, but followed the same concept. His building is a prairie style structure that would incorporate the character defining features of the Hancock District, and would be 22 feet shorter than the new urbanism style building that was originally proposed.

A typical SWAT team comes armed with mace and high-powered rifles, ready to undertake a hazardous operation. However, the special weapons and tactics employed by members of KU SWAT include plot and setting, allusion and irony. Officially titled Student Writers Association, The, SWAT began in the spring of 2005 with the mission of fostering a richer creative writing environment at the University. Natalie McAllister, Topeka senior and one of the organizations founders, describes SWAT as a place to be heard. Whether searching for an audience, an opportunity to be published or a network of other budding wordsmiths, student writers can fulfill their creative whims through all things SWAT. McAllister calls SWAT a supplemental creative writing class because of the meetings workshops, in which writers can receive peer feedback on their work.

Lecture series season begins

By Darla slipke
The Humanities Lecture Series exposes students to other cultures and struggles within the global community and challenges them to think critically about the world around them, Maria Carlson, professor of Slavic languages and literature, said. Turn on your TV or go to your favorite news site, and you will see the potential and real costs of cultural illiteracy, Carlson said. Carlson is one of six speakers including an evolutionary theorist, a feminist, a post-modern Socrates raised in Ghana and a sociologist, who will be part of this years series. The series has brought speakers who discuss social, political and other issues to the University of Kansas for 50 years. National Public Radio personnel Andrei Codrescu is the first speaker of the 2006-07 series. He will speak about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Lied Center. Students should come listen to smart speakers because 98 percent of what they shovel into their brains is trash, Codrescu said. Pop culture now has bigger gobs of exploitative crap in it than it ever did. Carlson also emphasized the importance of attending lecture events. You dont have to agree with everything the speakers say, but you should let them challenge you; you should take that opportunity to test your ideas and world view against theirs, Carlson said. Thats how you grow. Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, located south of Stauffer-Flint, said this year theyve tried to make the series a community event, not just a campus function. We try to get speakers who the public know, not just faculty, Bailey said. Although a large portion of the audience were usually members of the Lawrence and campus communities, Bailey said people from nearby towns also come. Many factors play into the selection of speakers. Bailey said people

write letters suggesting speakers, while a committee meets to suggest more names and prioritize the possibilities. The committee also considers cost and then whether or not the speakers can come at a suitable time. In addition to speaking to a large crowd, many of the speakers in the series will also speak to a smaller, more intimate group in the Hall Center Conference Hall on the day after their lecture. All of the lectures are free. kansan staff writer Darla slipke can be contacted at dslipke@kansan.com. Edited by Kate Shipley

School of Engineering promotes diversity while designing robots

By Courtney Hagen
university in one of many efforts to increase the number of interested multicultural students in the sciences. The School of Engineering has also incorporated a diversity program to reach minority students. Arvin Agah, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, worked with both Arthur and Carmichael to design the robots. Agah said the program aimed to recruit minority students to work in the sciences following their undergraduate work. The ultimate goal is to get the students interested to pursue graduate degrees, whether it is at KU or somewhere else, Agah said. Even if they pursue graduate degrees somewhere else, weve succeeded. Through his years in engineering and computer science, Agah said he has noticed few minority students and even fewer female minority students. A report from the Office of University Relations and the National and 15.8 percent were Asian. Kelly Mason, project coordinator for CReSIS, said CReSIS and REU students were selected according to their promise of long-term commitment to research in the sciences, such as electrical engineering, geography, geology and computer science. Florence E. Boldridge, director of Diversity Programs for the School of Engineering, worked to recruit committed students into the sciences. Boldridge oversees many organizations at the University to encourage minority engineers to succeed, such as the National Society of Black Engineers and the American Indian Science Engineers Society. Boldridge said the University incorporated the diversity programs after realizing low enrollment from minorities. The School of Engineering employs a full-time recruiter with a special emphasis in recruiting multicultural students. Dawnelle Prince attends college fairs geared toward minority students as part of her work as director of recruitment for the School of Engineering. Prince also assists in a Celebration of Excellence and Diversity program. Potential multicultural engineering students receive $2,000 toward their education just for attending the event if they meet the School of Engineering admission requirements. Prince said programs like these are important to academic success on campus for all students, whether they are a minority or not. It provides current students with a well-rounded education, Prince said. It provides students from all backgrounds with experience and improves the level of education. kansan staff writer Courtney Hagen can be contacted at chagen@ kansan.com. Edited by Kristen Jarboe

Plane Crash

Jet attempts take off on wrong runway, 49 killed

By JEFFREy McMURRAy
THE AssociATEd PREss LEXINGTON, Ky. A commuter jet mistakenly trying to take off on a runway that was too short crashed into a field Sunday and burst into flames, killing 49 people and leaving the lone survivor a co-pilot in critical condition, federal investigators said. Preliminary flight data from Comair Flight 5191s black box recorders and the damage at the scene indicate the plane, a CRJ-100 regional jet, took off from the shortest runway at Lexingtons Blue Grass Airport, National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said. The 3,500-foot-long strip, with less lighting and barely half the length of the airports main runway, is only intended for daylight takeoffs and not for commercial flights. The twin-engine CRJ-100 would have needed 5,000 feet to fully get off the ground, aviation experts said. It wasnt immediately clear how the plane ended up on the shorter runway in the predawn darkness. There was a light rain Sunday, and the strip veers off at a V from the main runway, which had just been repaved last week. We will be looking into performance data, we will be looking at the weight of the aircraft, we will be looking at speeds, we will pull all that information off, Hersman said. The Atlanta-bound plane plowed through a perimeter fence and crashed in a field less than mile from the end of that runway at about 6:07 a.m. Aerial images of the crash site in the rolling hills of Kentuckys horse country showed trees damaged at the end of the short runway and the nose of the plane almost parallel to the small strip. When rescuers reached it, the plane was largely intact but in flames. A police officer burned his arms dragging the only survivor from the cracked cockpit. The flames kept rescuers from reaching anyone else aboard, including a newlywed couple starting their honeymoon, a Florida man who had caught an early flight home to be with his children and a University of Kentucky official among them. They were taking off, so Im sure they had a lot of fuel on board, Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said. Most of the injuries are going to be due to fire-related deaths. FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency had no indication that terrorism was involved in any way in what was the countrys worst domestic plane crash in five years. Its rare for a plane to get on the wrong runway, but sometimes with the intersecting runways, pilots go down the wrong one, said Saint Louis University aerospace professor emeritus Paul Czysz. The worst such crash came on Oct. 31, 2000, when a Los Angelesbound Singapore Airlines jumbo jet mistakenly went down a runway at Taiwans Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport that had been closed for repairs because of a recent typhoon. The resulting collision with construction equipment killed 83 people on board. Comair President Don Bornhorst said maintenance for the plane that crashed Sunday was up to date and its three-member flight crew was experienced and had been flying that airplane for some time. We are absolutely, totally committed to doing everything humanly possible to determine the cause of this accident, Bornhorst said. One of the most damaging things that can happen to an investigation of this magnitude is for speculation or for us to guess at what may be happening. Most of the passengers aboard the flight had planned to connect to other flights in Atlanta and did not have family waiting for them, said the Rev. Harold Boyce, a volunteer chaplain at Atlantas HartsfieldJackson airport.

Some people sat in the grass with their dogs while others danced along to the music. A free ice cream social complemented the entertainment. Shannon Criss, associate professor of architecture, was there with her husband and two children. We love the music. We come every year, she said. When it became too dark for musicians to play their stringed instruments from the stage area, they moved into the dim spotlight of a streetlight and continued to play until there were only five musicians and a handful of listeners left. When one song ended, the players gracefully transitioned into another one as if the performance was rehearsed. An older man with a white beard stood among a young boy from Colorado, a nationally recognized player in his 20s and several middle-aged men. Some of the players knew each other and others were strangers, but their harmony and jolly disposition suggested that they were old friends. At 9:15 p.m., a sixth man showed up. Yall arent quitting yet, are you? Mike Hall, Topeka senior, said. He joined the group, which continued to play into the night. Bluegrass usually has that sense of community, Hall said. Theres not many other types of music that can get an 11-yearold and a 60-year-old playing together. Steve Mason, Lawrence resident, said hes probably only missed three competitions since he moved here in 1980. Its a different language, Mason said. We can stand around and improvise fiddle tunes back and forth, and its like standing around in a cocktail bar. Kansan staff writer darla slipke can be contacted at dslipke@ kansan.com.

fire and impact marks are visible on the ground in a field west of Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Ky., where Comair Flight 5191 crashed during take off on Sunday. Forty-nine people were killed. One woman was there expecting her sister. The two had planned to fly together to catch an Alaskan cruise, Boyce said. Naturally, she was very sad, Boyce said. She was handling it. She was in tears. The only survivor of the crash was identified as first officer James M. Polehinke, 44, who was in critical condition after surgery at the University of Kentucky hospital. Hes very lucky, said Dr. Andrew C. Bernard, a trauma surgeon. The other crew members were Capt. Jeffrey Clay, who was hired by Erlanger, Ky.-based Comair in 1999, and flight attendant Kelly Heyer, hired in 2004. Polehinke has been with Comair since 2002. All 49 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage, said Stacy Floden, spokeswoman for the state Justice and Public Safety Cabinet. No positive identifications had been made yet, and preliminary autopsies had been done on 16 or 17 bodies, she said. The plane had undergone routine maintenance as recently as Saturday and had 14,500 flight hours, consistent with aircraft of that age, Bornhorst said. Investigators from the FAA and NTSB were at the scene, and Bornhorst said the airline was working to contact relatives of the passengers. Gov. Ernie Fletcher cut short a trip to Germany and was returning to Kentucky on Monday afternoon, spokeswoman Jodi Whitaker said. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said President Bush, who is spending a long weekend at his familys summer home on the Maine coast, was being briefed on the crash. The president was deeply saddened by the news of the plane crash in Kentucky today, she said. His sympathies are with the many families of the victims of this tragedy. Among those killed were a newlywed couple starting their honeymoon. Jon Hooker, a former minor-league baseball player, had just married Scarlett Parsley the night before the crash in a fairy tale wedding ceremony complete with a horse-drawn carriage and 300 friends. Its so tragic because he was so happy last night, said Keith Madison, who coached Hookers baseball team at the University of Kentucky and attended the wedding. Its just an incredible turn of events. Its really painful. The crash marks the end of what has been called the safest period in aviation history in the United States. There has not been a major crash since Nov. 12, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 587 plunged into a residential neighborhood in Queens, N.Y., killing 265 people, including five on the ground.

The Hancock District is Oread Avenue to Mississippi Street on West 12th Street. For my presentation, there was an attempt to speak to the rules associated with development in the environs of a historic district, Morrow said. Staff was kind enough to provide detailed descriptions of the historic nature of the district and in particular the character defining features of that district. Morrow said he decided to design his own building model because he felt the proposition put forth by the developers wasnt ideal. I have some knowledge and experience here at this location and it was an appropriate time for me to put my two cents in, he said. Debbie Milks, Oread neighborhood resident, said she approved of redevelopment, but she was concerned with the massive size of the originally proposed building. Morrows model got a more favorable response from members of the Oread group, with the exception of some outcry from members when Morrow said he wanted to expand the outdoor drinking area The Crossing currently had. Developer Robert Pottroff, the Manhattan attorney who initially proposed the reconstruction, was not present at the meeting. The original plan called for the demolition of The Crossing, Yello Sub and a house at 1142 Indiana to make way for a five-story, mixeduse building that would combine 15 luxury condominiums and three retail shops. The Historic Resources Commissions report stated that because the proposed building was located within the environs of the Hancock District and the Snow House, 706 W. 12th St., both listed on National Register of Historic Places, it would not be approved. The report alluded to the proposed buildings lack of character defining features and the demolition in a historic area as the main reasons for its denial. Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio and author of the original plan, wasnt surprised the initial proposal was denied. We really werent nave enough to think that we were going to come in and get this thing done right off the bat, Foxworthy said. He added that some compromises would have to be made.

PlAn b (continued from 1A)

Wal-Mart pharmacies will also carry Plan B. Michelle Donaldson, relief staff pharmacist at several Wal-Mart pharmacies in Lawrence, Bonner Springs and Leavenworth said she expected over-the-counter Plan B to be available within a month. As a prescription, Plan B costs $39.88 at Wal-Mart, but Donaldson said most drugs go down in price when they become available over the counter. Prescription Plan B isnt in high demand at Wal-Mart pharmacies. Donaldson said shes only filled one prescription for the drug in the past six months, but shes sure that will change once its available over the counter. Weve already had someone come in and ask for it today, she said on Saturday. Donaldson said as a pharmacist, its important to tell patients how to use Plan B. She said she will be more detailed giving patients information about Plan B because it has to be taken exactly right for it to work.

PAGE 5A

A drunken driver in an old, beat-up truck weaves through traffic on a crowded highway. The truck smashes into another vehicle, causing several cars to crash. Minutes later, paramedics wade through the wreckage, attending to the wounded. Traffic backs up several miles. Residence hall occupants who forgo ResNet connections and instead use wireless access points could cause similar havoc to the KU network. It was recently discovered that several students were using wireless routers to set up personal wireless networks in Templin and McCollum halls, and Watkins, Sellards, Douthart, Stephenson, K.K. Amini and Margaret Amini scholarship halls. By setting up a personal wireless network, one student can buy Internet service and then provide it to other students without charge. John Lewis, director of network and telecommunications, compares the Lawrence campus network to the U.S. highway system. Both have standards that must be followed to ensure security of their users and public resources. Lewis says the security of the cheap, student-installed wireless

access points can be breached in less than a minute. Students using wireless networks would not be the only ones affected by a security breach, he says. Someone with baleful intent could infect multiple computers with viruses, which could lead to individual computer damage, campus-wide network shutdowns and incredible financial loss. Residence hall occupants are getting a relatively good deal. ResNet charges only $83.25 per semester for Internet access, which costs less than Sunflower Broadband charges for a similar product. ResNet also provides free, on-call tech support, unlike Sunflower Broadband. Students will get wireless Internet soon anyway. The University plans to install wireless access points in residence hall common areas probably by this time next year, Lewis says. The University spends about $10 million dollars a year on computer technology. So dont be that drunken driver who crashes our information highway.

commentary Dont forget to have fun

By SAM SChnEidEr
kansan columnist opinion@kansan.com Were at the beginning of a new school year and the sidewalks on campus have filled with masses of people. The drive across town is once again punctuated by red lights and congested streets. The empty shops and relaxed feeling of summer have fled and the need to study grips us all over again. So, as we prepare to dash through another semester of stress and late nights at Java Break, I want to offer a reminder that we should be careful not to lose our focus about the important things in life. Though we should certainly work hard, we shouldnt spend a ridiculous amount of worry on achievement. Somewhere in the middle of each semester I begin to think that all this stress of school will make me more successful in life. When I sit at my computer in the early morning, punching out the final edit for some paper, I remind myself that it will be worth it in the long run, that Ill be a better person for having done the extra work. I certainly agree that hard work has its benefits. Yet, in thinking back to my favorite moments here at the University of Kansas, none of them have been success-related. I have rarely found true joy in passing a final, but quite often experienced intense happiness in seeing the upper windows of Allen Fieldhouse ablaze with the excitement of 16,000 people. I was on my way to class the other day, caught no doubt in the midst of pursuing another day of academic success, when I chanced to look up at Allen Fieldhouse. At first, I admired the way the new addition blends into the structure, the stone work, and the classic statue of Phog Allen. How fitting a place, I thought, to host such a thing as Kansas basketball. Then I lowered my eyes away from the stone and down to the stretch of lawn between me and the Phog. Apparently the University and I both forget to care for the little things sometimes. The entire lawn lies cracked and broken, shot through with weeds. Here stands this majestic structure, yet when viewed from a distance, it appears shabby and unkempt. It looks this way not because of a single problem with the building itself, but because of a lack of care for something as simple, but important, as a stretch of grass. So heres what I think: While we should work hard, we should also slow down a bit. Maybe we ought to volunteer for fewer organizations, maybe study less for a test every now and again. Lets focus on tending to those simple, happy moments. Certainly there is a time for work, and in that time we should work hard, but lets be careful not to allow work to dominate times that should be for other things. I am not advocating flunking out of school, only that in the midst of trying to be successful, we should remember that life consists of far more important things than success.

Oh, those birds, bees and STDs

By TErESA Lo
kansan columnist opinion@kansan.com does not provide information about contraception or STDs. Apparently adults are not only prudish about their childrens sexuality, but their own as well. Sites such as www.inspot.org provide an example of this. Through this site, one could send anonymous e-cards to past sexual partners, informing them that the sender has an STD and that the recipient should seek immediate testing. Imagine checking your e-mail to find an anonymous message stating, You have The Clap and possibly syphilis! You might be tempted to discard it the way you would if you read that someone could increase your penis size to rival Ron Jeremys or that you won a billion dollars and an iPod. Yet, you might also be incredibly terrified. The idea of the site is noble enough, but one important problem with it is that because of its anonymity, there is no way to monitor e-mails sent as pranks. Furthermore, I question the ethics of a site such as this. Although contracting an STD may be humiliating, is it really fair to your partners to send them an anonymous warning inalong, please? n when i have something funny, why dont you print it? n so you know, i am really high or i just saw a guy in a giant bunny outfit walking around wescoe beach. n to the idiot who put the soap in the chi-o fountain again, do you know how much that costs to clean that up? n all right, so you have an article in the paper about how they found a stash on the floor in mccollum. n i just want to say to the girl who dances every tuesday and

Of a million ways to read The Kansan, here are a few

Ive got news for you: The University Daily Kansan isnt just a newspaper. Its a Web site: Kansan.com. Its entertainment: the crossword and Sudoku. Its your voice: Free for All and letters to the editor. Its a watchdog: 15 news reporters looking out for students interests and catching those who would misuse the power they have. Its sports: A reporter covering each KU varsity sport as well as reporters dedicated to club sports and intramurals. Its information: Thousands of words, hundreds of stories, dozens of pictures produced for students by students every semester. The Kansan has put a lot of time into the physical appearance of all its products. Weve redesigned our printed product to be more inviting to the eye and so the stories jump off the page. Weve redesigned our Web site to put content out front. Bottom line? We know you turn to us for what we provide, not the way it looks. But in order to get that information, you have to be able to find it. We want to be the place you turn to for information about campus and the community. We offer you information presented with a unique perspective: the student perspective. All of our staff go to class, many of them work other (paying) jobs and all of them sacrifice sleep and time for studies in order to put this paper together. No one here is working for the money and its certainly not for fame or recognition. People who work at The Kansan do so because its their way of contributing to the community. Its their way of being involved with campus. And frankly, its often a lot of fun. That being said, the sense of involvement and the fun we have pales in comparison to the responsibility we take by becoming

My parents, conservative Chinese immigrants, never felt comfortable talking to me about sex. The only real discussion about sex that I remember my father and I ever having was when he pointed at a scantily clad woman in the mall and told me she was nasty. Years later, my older sister, a medical school student, took it upon herself to teach me what she felt was essential when it came to the birds and the bees. Her way of doing this was as heartfelt and tender as an after-school TV special. When I was a freshman in college, she showed me medical school textbooks with pictures of various STDs and asked me to study them. You can get Chlamydia in your eye, she said as casually as one would comment on the weather. No way! I said. You can get herpes in your eyes too. When I cringed, she continued with vivid stories of disgusting, infected penises and vaginas that she saw during her week working at a sexual health clinic. Dont have sex, she said seriously as I stared at her, terrified. Looking at the United States abstinence-only education, it appears that my family was not in the minority in this country when it came to an uneasiness about the topic of sex. The current sex education curriculum consists of advocating abstinence until marriage and

stead of telling them it was you who possibly infected them? Another thing that bothered me about this site was that it didnt have any statistics of the people who used it, which made me wonder, are tons of kids my age using this? Or worse, are they not bothering to tell their past lovers at all? How alarming. After all, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 19 million new STD infections a year and that half of those infections occur in the 15-to-24-year-old age group. What can we as college students do? The best solution is to practice abstinence or be in a monogamous relationship, but for those whose horniness just cannot be contained, a HealthyLife guide provided by the KU Web site lists a few suggestions: For one, always use condoms or latex dams, and dont use oil-based lubricants. Next, dont have sex while drunk or high and limit your number of sexual partners. Lastly, discuss your sexual history with a new partner and avoid anyone whose health status and past are unknown. One can choose to follow these tips, or one can choose to have drunken sex with some hairy dude from the bar. Please choose the former. It would suck to get that www. inspot.org e-mail for real.

Fox Drama 24 takes home three, front-runner Greys Anatomy none

thE associatEd pREss LOS ANGELES The groundbreaking action series 24, which turns one dangerous day into a season, found a satisfying end Sunday as it won three Emmys, including for best drama series and best actor for star Kiefer Sutherland. The Office was honored as best comedy. One Emmy front-runner, sexy medical drama Greys Anatomy, was shut out in the awards. Every once in a while youll have an evening that just reminds you that youre given too much and this is

By LyNN ELBER

that evening, Sutherland said. This experience on `24 has been nothing but remarkable for me. Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Julia Louis-Dreyfus of the freshman comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine struck Emmy gold with lead actress awards for drama and comedy, respectively. Well, Im not somebody who really believes in curses but curse this, baby, Louis-Dreyfus said hoisting her trophy and making a veiled reference to the so-called Seinfeld curse that kept three of its stars from launching successful new series.

The Emmy ceremony initially followed a predictable path Sunday as Tony Shalhoub won his third acting trophy for Monk and departed series Will & Grace, The West Wing and Huff earned bittersweet toasts. I just want to say its gratifying to be chosen from such a distinguished group of losers actors, Shalhoub joked in accepting the award for best actor in a comedy. Winning didnt take the sting out of cancellation for at least one star. Its not supposed to work this way, is it, when you say goodbye to something? said Blythe Danner,

named best supporting actress in a drama for Huff. I guess I have to thank Showtime, even though they canceled us, Danner said, with a smile. Megan Mullally was honored for her supporting actress work in the sitcom Will & Grace, which wrapped up its eight-year run. And Alan Alda was named best supporting actor in a drama for his role as a Republican presidential candidate on The West Wing, canceled after seven seasons. Alda wasnt on hand to accept the award. His win was the 26th Emmy for the White House drama, a drama series record. The show had been tied with Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law with 25. Jeremy Piven of Entourage was named best supporting actor in a comedy. The surprises in the ceremony were courtesy of host Conan OBrien and his inventive comedy bits, including a running gag that had Bob Newharts life threatened if the show ran long. Its my second time hosting. And as youll see tonight, the third times the charm, OBrien said. Aaron Spelling, the prolific producer who died in June at 83, was paid often-tearful tribute by his onetime stars, including Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson of

Charlies Angels and Joan Collins and Heather Locklear of Dynasty. Throughout the ceremony, veteran comedian and TV star Newhart popped up occasionally for OBriens gag. The show has rarely has come in on time. Why? Because theres no real consequences, OBrien said as Newhart was wheeled onstage in what Conan warned was an airtight container with just three hours of air, the ceremonys scheduled running time. Yes. Its very simple. If the Emmys run one second over, Bob Newhart dies, OBrien said, as Newharts famous deadpan expression showed a tinge of alarm. So keep those speeches short, ladies and gentlemen. Bob Newharts life in your hands. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,

the satirical newscast, reaped two Emmys, for best variety, music or comedy and the writing award for that category. Stewart was moderately selfeffacing in his speech, saying after the first honor: I think this year you actually made a terrible mistake. But thank you. American Idol, the blockbuster TV talent show, lost again in the reality-competition category as The Amazing Race picked up its fourth award. Barry Manilow collected an Emmy for the special Barry Manilow: Music and Passion. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, presenting the reality award, took the opportunity to vent about being eclipsed by Manilows special in the variety, music or comedy program category. I lost to Barry Manilow ... I lost to the Copacabana, wailed Colbert.

Freshmen to fill Vince Youngs Texas-sized shoes

By shawn shroyer
Success hasnt changed Texas coach Mack Brown since getting the proverbial monkey off his back and winning the national championship last season. Coach Brown is the same guy that recruited me however many years ago, since he showed up on my doorstep, senior cornerback Aaron Ross said. He hasnt changed one bit since we won the national championship. The Texas roster, on the other hand, has changed since last year but not much. The Longhorns return seven starters on each side of the ball, although the few losses stick out like a sore thumb. The loss getting the most publicity is the loss of Vince Young at quarterback with only a pair of freshmen to fill his Texas-size shoes. After taking a redshirt last season, freshman Colt McCoy is the leading candidate to succeed Young. Freshman Jevan Snead, who enrolled at Texas in January, will be McCoys competition at quarterback. Even after Texas spring game, no clear-cut No. 1 emerged. McCoy was 7-for-11 for 75 yards, barely outdone by Sneads 9-for-13 for 97 yards, onetouchdown performance. season and rushed for 461 yards and eight touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Limas Sweed has started 20 straight games and leads a trio of returning starters at the receiver position. Last year, Sweed collected 545 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Texas offensive line will feature three senior returning starters who garnered All-Big 12 honors last season. Justin Blalock returns to his right tackle spot, Kasey Studdard returns to his left guard spot and Lyle Sendlein will be at center again. Heading into the season, the line knows what their first priority will be. With youth and inexperience at the quarterback position, its really important for us to give them protection, Blalock said. On defense, the Longhorns will have to replace defensive tackle Rodrique Wright, cornerback Cedric Griffin and safety Michael Huff, who are now in the NFL, and linebacker Aaron Harris, who was named thirdteam All-American last season. Seniors Tim Crowder and Brian Robison combined for 108 tackles and 10 sacks from their defensive end spots and junior defensive tackle Frank Okam will look to build on his 48 tackles and one sack from last season. Linebackers Robert Killebrew, junior, and Rashad Bobino, sophomore, return after combining for 120 tackles and six sacks last season. Junior Drew Kelson appeared in all 13 games last season, starting three, and could be the leading candidate to fill the third linebacker spot. Although known more for his punt returning skills, Ross will try to make a name for himself on defense in 2006. Ross started just two games at corner last season, but still recorded 62 tackles and three interceptions. Ross will join returning starters and seniors Tarell Brown, cornerback, and Michael Griffin, strong safety. Griffins brother Marcus could fill the free safety spot. We have a couple guys in the slot for free safety and theyre doing a great job in camp so far, Ross said. More important than finding new starters, the Longhorns are searching for a new leader. Young was the teams unquestioned leader last year. Now Texas needs a new leader to step up. Despite the losses, Ross said the team believes in itself. Instead of a single player, an entire unit might lead the team. With added pressure on the defense, Brown said it might

We do think now with Young leaving that itll motivate our defense to play better because he would pull you out of some trouble and itll make us protect the ball better, Brown said.

texas freshman quarterback Jevan snead looks toward a receiver during practice Aug. 8 in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns havent started a season with a freshman quarterback since 1993. At the Big 12 Media Days in July, Brown said McCoys extra semester of experience gave him the advantage and made the rest of the offense more comfortable with him. Colts just been there longer, Brown said. So, its a very difficult thing for Jevan to come in in January and be pushed right into the offense. The Longhorns also lost sophomore running back Ramonce Taylor when he left in July, but have two players returning who started at the position last season. Sophomore running back Jamaal Charles started three games last season, rushing for 878 yards and 11 touchdowns. Senior running back Selvin Young started five games last

I played okay, helping the team, Correa said. I feel really good about my knee. The Jayhawks dominated the Bulldogs from the beginning. In the first game, Kansas started with a 60 run before Alabama A&M scored their first point. Kansas recorded 10 aces, nine blocks and a .512 attacking percentage in the first game. In game two, the Jayhawks scored 18 straight points, holding the Bulldogs to single digit points. To complete the sweep, Kansas started the third game 16-0, cruising to the victory. Correa had a career high .765 attack percentage in the game. Saturday the Jayhawks had to comeback after losing the first game, to beat Miami 3-1; 23-30, 30-28, 30-25, 30-23. Correa led the team again with 16 kills and 10 digs. Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, had a career high 14 kills. Brown added 11 kills and 26 assists helping the Jayhawks comeback for the win. Saturday night did not go the Jayhawks way. Host Alabama swept Kansas, 21-30, 20-30, 18-30. The first match was close, tied 16-16 at one point, however, five late errors proved to be costly for the Jayhawks. In game three, Kansas committed 15 errors, and had a -.122 attacking percentage, as Alabama was able to down Kansas. The Jayhawks home opener against UMKC is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@kansan.com. Edited by Kristen Jarboe

Jones, C.J. Hunter, Gatlin and Montgomery, have tested positive for a plethora of performance enhancing drugs. If one athlete testing positive is an accident and two is a coincidence, three might show some tendencies, but 11 is a bird flulike epidemic. Graham is banned from using the United States Olympic Committee training facilities and is connected to the BALCO disaster engulfing Barry Bonds. But he has somehow managed to avoid being banned from the sport altogether. While Grahams former athletes serve life sentences, he continues to skate free and denies any wrongdoing. Removing Graham will not solve all of track and fields problems, but it is a step in the right direction for a sport that is desperate for some press and attention that does not result from needles, testosterone and cheating.

Less than 10 minutes later, senior forward Lacey Novak scored the Jayhawks third goal on a pass from Gault. Gault stole the ball around midfield and continued dribbling up the right side, while Novak trailed. Gault maneuvered past the only defender to beat her and fired a pass backwards to Novak, who scored from the middle of the box. Weve got a lot of people who can finish, Francis said. It makes us a little bit harder to defend against. Kansas also proved hard to score against. The Paladins mustered only four shots and had trouble penetrating the mid line the entire game

because of the Jayhawks midfield play. In addition to rarely letting a Furman player reach the offensive end, midfielders Gault and sophomore Missy Geha also combined for nine of the Jayhawks 25 shots. The offensive outpouring was an improvement from last weeks disappointing exhibition game against Drake in which Kansas managed only eight shots. I think it was our commitment to work hard in the box, Francis said. As a coach you just look for the team to improve. Sophomore Julie Hanley won the goalkeeper job for the Jayhawks for at least the Furman game. Hanley played all 90 minutes, saving both of the Paladins shots on goal. Hanley and junior Colleen Quinn were both competing for the starting job during practice. Kansas was scheduled to play another game Sunday against Loyola Marymount, but the game was canceled because of unsafe field conditions caused by rain. The game will not be rescheduled.

Golfers gain experience in summer play

By Asher fusco
Two top-five finishes propelled senior Gary Woodland to 22nd place in the national amateur golf rankings this summer. Woodland and his teammates on the Kansas mens golf team used their summers to hone their skills and gain experience by competing in various tournaments across the nation. Woodland finished second in the medal play competition of the Western Amateur in Benton Harbor, Mich., and made the trip to Niagara Falls, N.Y., where he tied for fourth place in the Porter Cup. Woodland was already among the most experienced golfers on the Kansas roster. He used his time away from Lawrence to build on an already impressive repertoire, and his work with a sports psychologist could lead to heightened confidence on the course. This summer I worked on the mental aspect of my game, Woodland said. Its important to have the confidence to know I can compete with the best players in the world. Offseason events like the Western Amateur and the Porter Cup provided the Jayhawks with the opportunity to tee off against some of the nations Woodland most formidable golfers.

Fans meet, greet seven freshmen at picnic

Jayhawk enthusiasts gather for the 2006 Welcome Back Picnic
By cAse Keefer
Around 100 eager Jayhawk womens basketball fans gathered at Centennial Park Saturday. The 2006 Welcome Back Picnic was an opportunity for enthusiasts to interact with the team and anticipate the upcoming season in the beautiful weather at the park, Ninth and Iowa streets. Mother Nature was a Jayhawk today, not a Wildcat, coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Early reports of possible afternoon showers were nowhere to be found. After having a chance to meet, converse and eat lunch, fans were treated to a brief program in which all the players on the roster, including the seven freshmen, introduced themselves. One by one, all the players had a chance to briefly tell a little about themselves and what they did this summer. Senior guard Sharita Smiths introduction received the biggest reaction from the crowd. Smith shared her most exciting summer experience: bungee jumping. It was just something I had always wanted to do, Smith said. Henrickson shook her head at that statement. Smith insists she has nothing to worry about and that although exciting, bungee jumping comes no where close to being on the basketball court. Freshmen Rebecca Feickert said that she is just enjoying being a Jayhawk. After the program ended, the children at the event played water balloon games and ran sack races with the team. During this time, the tight-knit group of womens basketball fans stuck around to visit with the coaches. By the time people started to leave, their mood was ecstatic in hopes that this season would be a special one. Today was important for both groups, Henrickson said. It gives our players a chance to thank the fans for their tremendous support and for the fans, its a great way to get to know these players and say thank you. Smith enjoyed the event and loves interacting with the people who will be in the stands watching the team compete when the season starts. It feels good to be around people that really support us and want to talk to us. They want to talk about basketball, what classes were taking, and everything. Smith said. The picnic was a great way to wrap up the summer as the team enters the next phase of preparation. Until November, the fall semester will be all about getting into the daily routine of classes and practice. Weve been on the court for a week now and were already excited and anxious, Henrickson said. Smith is also eager as the season rolls closer and is sure her team feels the same way. Were learning a lot as we go. The freshmen are really getting good at learning the system, Smith said. The teams togetherness and competitive spirit shined even in something as small as a game of catching water balloons. The women laughed and challenged each other until senior Shaquina Mosley outlasted the rest and won the game. The womens basketball team hopes these elements translate into a successful season come November. Kansan sportswriter case Keefer can be contacted at ckeefer@kansan.com. EditedbyKateShipley

Toronto pitcher doesnt put up a fight this time, Kansas City still loses
the AssociAted press
TORONTO This time, Ted Lilly gave up the ball without a fight. Lilly won in his first start since tussling with manager John Gibbons, and Bengie Molina hit a grand slam that led the Toronto Blue Jays over the Kansas City Royals 10-6 Sunday. Last Monday, Lilly refused to hand Gibbons the ball during a pitching change against Oakland. They later scuffled in the tunnel leading from the dugout to the clubhouse, and Gibbons wound up with a bloody nose. This time, one fan yelled out Fight! Fight! when Gibbons went to the mound to replace Lilly in the sixth. What happened last start was unlike both of us. I think we learned a lot from it, Lilly said. Its good to come back and contribute a little bit, enough to help us win. Lilly (11-11) allowed six runs five earned in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out six and walked three. Gibbons told Lilly he did a great job when he removed him in the sixth and gave his pitcher a pat of encouragement. Its all behind us. We get along just fine, Gibbons said. Its just one those things that happens. Its gone. You know what, he showed me something today. He bounced back today with a big win and he deserved it. Molina connected against Odalis Perez (1-2) in the third inning for his first slam of the season and the third of his career. Gregg Zaun and Vernon Wells also homered for the Blue Jays. Zaun hit a two-run homer in the fifth off Todd Wellemeyer and Wells hit his 30th in the eighth off Joel Peralta. Mike Sweeney homered for the Royals, who have lost three of four. We beat the best in baseball yesterday in (Roy) Halladay. We came into today thinking, Lets win a series. We knew Lilly was coming off a pretty emotional start, Sweeney said. We swung the bats pretty well, but we just didnt make it happen. Kansas City has not won a series in Toronto since Aug. 19-21, 2002.

The University of Kansas mens basketball program has released information for the 2006 walk-on tryouts. Tryouts will be held oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in allen Fieldhouse. Full-time students at the University are eligible to try out, but must first pick up forms at the Basketball office, room 250 of the wagnon Student athlete Center, adjacent to allen Fieldhouse, and turn the forms back in by oct. 12.

Emily Brown garners award, helps team to 2-1 record

By DrEw DAvison
Emily Brown was named to the all-tournament team at the Academy Sports/Crimson Tide Invitational. When asked about being selected to the tournament team, Brown said jokingly, Can I say no comment? Brown, junior setter, said being named to the team was more a reflection on the Kansas team than on her. The Jayhawk volleyball team started its season in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and left with a record of 2-1. I think we played well, said Jana Correa, senior outside hitter. There were our ups and downs. We still have a lot to work on. Kansas swept Alabama A&M Friday to start the tournament, 3017, 30-8, 30-14. Kansas beat Miami in its first game on Saturday before being swept by host Alabama in its night game. The tournament was held at Coleman Auxiliary Volleyball Extension on Alabamas campus, known as the CAVE. We were hot and cold Saturday, coach Ray Bechard said. We beat a good team Saturday but Bama was really good Saturday night. Overall, we learned a lot. Bechard said serving and passing are the two areas he would like the Jayhawks to excel in. Throughout the weekend, Bechard said the serving was solid, however, their passing gave them problems against Alabama. Another question mark heading into the season was the middle-blocker position. After junior Natalie Uhart suffered a season-ending injury, the team looked to freshman Brittany Williams to become the starter. She had freshman moments, Bechard said. That means she did a lot of good things for us, but at times she looked inexperienced out there. Her learning curve is sharp and shell improve as she grows more comfortable. In the Alabama A&M game Friday, Correa showed she is fully healthy this season, after recovering from a knee injury, leading the team with 14 kills.

Steroid use mires track and fields integrity

By DEjuAn AtwAy
kansan sports columnist datway@kansan.com The mythical title of worlds fastest man was once a coveted and prestigious title. Now, that honor and its sport, track and field, lie in the dark and shady waters created and contaminated by constant steroid abuse and allegations. Justin Gatlin, the reigning 100 meter dash Olympic and world champion, tested positive for an increase in testosterone levels and steroids shortly after competing in the Kansas Relays on April 22. Last week, Gatlin decided to cooperate with doping investigators and accept an eight-year ban from competition. He avoided a lifetime ban for his cooperation but the eight-year ban will essentially end his career. It is equivalent to Lebron James being suspended from the NBA or Peyton Manning sitting out the next eight years in the NFL. How does a sport recover when its youngest and arguably brightest superstar is suspended for steroid abuse? Gatlin, along with Tim Montgomery, two of the last three men who have held the title of worlds fastest man, have tested positive for banned substances and the only similarity between the two is their coach, Trevor Graham. If track and field wants to clean up its sport and retain some of its integrity, it must find a way to rid itself of Trevor Graham. Graham continues to attract some of the worlds elite track and field athletes despite the fact that 11 of his athletes, including past world champions Marion

Sara Rogers couldnt have picked a better time to score her first career goal. With Kansas struggling throughout almost the entire first half, the sophomore forward scored the first goal in Kansas 3-0 victory against Furman on Friday. Senior defender Nikki Alvarez controlled the ball just past midfield, while Rogers streaked toward the goal. Alvarez fired the ball in Rogers direction as the Furman goalkeeper rushed in to cut it off. Rogers barely snuck past the goalie and tapped the ball in. I got a good pass from Nikki, Rogers said. Luckily the goalkeep-

er gave me a good angle to slide it into the far post. Even with Rogers goal, Kansas coach Mark Francis was far from pleased with his teams effort in the first half and let his team know with a fiery speech at halftime. Senior midfielder Holly Gault said, We came out slow because we thought we were better than this team and could go half speed. But coach definitely got us going in the second half. Monica Dolinsky was the first to answer Francis call. The freshman forward knocked the ball in after receiving a pass from senior defender Afton Sauer directly in front of the net.

Inexperienced wide receivers look to step up, help lead offense

By ryAn schnEiDEr
They just might be the most anonymous group on the Kansas football team. With no true No. 1 guy, identifying three starting wide receivers is certainly a challenge. But its a decision Kansas coach Mark Mangino will have to make this week, with only five days remaining until Saturdays season opener against Northwestern State. At least six different players have seen time with redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier and the first-team offense in practice. Among the players competing for a starting spot is senior Brian Murph, who is the Jayhawks top returning receiver. As a starter last season, Murph recorded 33 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns. Mangino said he thinks Murph will be the leader of this years crop As the teams leading returner in rience on the field. Any time you lose players like several statistical categories, including total yards, receptions and touch- Mark Simmons who have been in downs, it was assumed that Murph your program as a four-year starter would be the teams top receiver. and a player like Charles Gordon, However, Murph sees the situation you feel like you need to get the next guys ready, he said.

Herford, Henry and Roux all saw action in 11 games last season and each averaged nearly 10 yards per catch. Fields may be best remembered for his touchdown reception against Iowa State, the first of his career, which helped tie the game and send it to overtime. Kansas went on to win the game, its sixth of the season, and advance to the Fort Worth Bowl. While the receivers are fairly inexperienced as a group, Mangino still has high hopes. I think those kids are coming together and theres a lot of ablebodied kids there, Mangino said. kansan senior sportswriter ryan schneider can be contacted at rschneider@kansan.com.
