Its been called Stalkerbook, peo-
ple have claimed its part of a govern-
ment conspiracy and some even go
so far as to call it the first step toward
Big Brother the idea of constant
surveilance.
No matter what you call it,
Facebook is now in hot water with
almost 1/16th of its online commu-
nity. The networking site recently
unveiled the News Feed feature.
The feature created a drop down
menu on a users main profile, detail-
ing their past actions including whose
wall theyve written on, relationship
status changes and what parties they
are planning on attending.
Ben Parr, a student at Northwestern
University, created the Students
against Facebook News Feed (Official
Petition to Facebook) to actively
protest the update, which he said was
too-creepy and too stalker-esque.
The group has had an immediate
following. The group had 620,714
members as of 2:30 p.m. Thursday,
with approximately 1,500 users join-
ing every two minutes. More than
500 University of Kansas users have
joined the group.
The issue has polarized users of
the online social networking ser-
vice, which has become the online
equivalent of a student commons
room since its February 2004 debut.
A quick search of Against Facebook
News feed on the Web site reveals
more than 500 groups either protest-
ing or promoting the feature.
Privacy is the biggest concern
raised both in the largest group and
across campus.
Andrew Algren, Lawrence junior,
said he joined the protest group
because the News Feed had gone
one step too far.
It feels like were constantly being
monitored, Algren said. I could
see people getting stalked on their
Facebook profiles. It makes it easy
to see everything the person is doing
right up front.
Samer Adra, Wichita senior, said it
was creepy that anybody could click
on their profile and see what theyd
been up to. It just seems privacy is
going in the wrong direction, Adra
said. Theres no point to the feature
other than stalking.
Others think the feature is simply
unnecessary. Phil Adam, Kansas City,
Kan., sophomore, said it was frustrat-
ing because people didnt have to work
to find the information anymore.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark
Zuckerberg responded to the group
in an open post.
And we agree, stalking isnt cool,
Zuckerberg said in the post. But
being able to know whats going on
in your friends lives is.
Zuckerberg said administration
was looking at the problems, but he
was confident the update was for
the best. Calls to the Facebook office
were not returned by press time.

Amanda Bearly enjoys her time
with her 10-week-old beagle, Baxter.
The Overland Park senior,
received Baxter for her 21st birth-
day. While she enjoys the perks of
a welcoming and wagging tail, she
also realizes the potential problems
that lay ahead.
Hes a little monster, Bearly said.
Hes in the biting stage and started
chewing my houses baseboards.
Many University of Kansas stu-
dents are finding out that the hard-
ships associated with owning a dog
often outweigh the moments of hap-
piness they spend with their furry
friends.
Midge Grinstead, executive direc-
tor at the Lawrence Humane Society,
said that college students often
bought pets for the wrong reasons.
They think theyre just cute and
adorable, she said. But god, its like
having a baby.
Grinstead expects an average of
50 dogs to be handed over to the
shelter from frustrated student-pet
owners each semester. Most claim to
have been unaware of the responsi-
bilities of their investment.
Damage to houses and the task
of cleaning are often the greatest
challenges for students with pets.
D.J. Webb, Olathe senior, has strug-
gled to keep his basset hound, Tobi,
under his roof since he first moved
off-campus.
Living at home with three dogs,
I wanted one of my own when I got
my place, Webb said.
Although he admits to getting
Tobi while living in a house that
didnt allow pets, he managed to
keep the dog secret from his land-
lord for several months.

The Center for Campus Fire
Safety ranked the state of Kansas
fifth in the nation for the number
of campus fire fatalities at all state
universities.
The national non-profit organi-
zation, dedicated to reducing the
number of fire fatalities in student
housing, examined the number of
fires that occurred in universities
across the country between Jan. 2000
and July 2006 and released an evalu-
ation on its findings.
The center identified 89 fire-relat-
ed deaths nationwide that occurred
in student housing off campuses, five
of which were in Kansas.
During the academic year 2005-
06, the center identified one fatal-
ity in an off-campus fire at the
University of Kansas.
Since the year 2000, about 80
percent of fire fatalities occurred
in off-campus housing. The center
reported the common factors in a
number of the fires included lack of
automatic fire sprinklers, missing or
disabled smoke alarms and alcohol
consumption.
As one way to increase aware-
ness and decrease the number of
deaths, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and
Jack Alexander, state fire marshal,
declared September as Campus Fire
Safety Month. The State Fire Marshal
Fire Prevention Division will encour-
age cities and towns across the coun-
ty to provide fire-safety educational
programs to students throughout the
month.
Off-campus housing is also a
main concern for Karl McNorton,
Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal. He
said he wanted to make people aware
of safety measures such as checking
the smoke detector and having an
escape plan to get out of a building.

Amanda Bearly, Kansas City, Mo., senior is one of many KU students who sacrifce cheaper rent for the comfort of living with a pet. In order to facilitate life with her 10-week-old beagle, Baxter,
Bearly paid a $200 safety deposit and a nonrefundable $200 pet fee in addition to her share of $730 monthly rent on a two-bedroomapartment, which she shares with a roommate.

To continue at the University
of Kansas, Suzette Runyon had to
take out a $2,000 loan from the
Kansas University Endowment
Association this semester. She
had exhausted all her options for
federal aid and had borrowed
another $2,000 from the associa-
tion last year.
Runyon, Lyndon senior, also
took a job as a desk attendant
at Corbin Hall this semester for
the extra pay. She said her sister
chose to drop out because she
couldnt afford tuition and room
and board.
Tuition increases that KU stu-
dents experienced over the last
four years have vastly outpaced
the rate of inflation in Kansas.
The increases, which the
Board of Regents votes on each
year, are part of a five-year tuition
enhancement plan University
administrators and Student
Senate collaborated on several
years ago.
To help students afford tuition,
the University has proposed a
four-year fixed-rate tuition plan
next year. Eakin said an increase
of 5 to 7 percent was factored into
the tuition bill freshmen would
receive next year.
Inflation figures for the state
have hovered between 1.7 per-
cent to about 4.2 percent since
2001, according to the Kansas
Department of Revenue.

Speeder destroys camera,
gets 4-month sentence
MANCHESTER, England His
driving was swift, but his thinking
wasnt.
A 28-year-old man who blew
up a speed-trap camera was sen-
tenced to prison for four months on
Wednesday.
Craig Moore, 28, from Doncaster,
said he had seen a fash of light
from the camera, indicating that it
had detected him speeding on Aug.
14, 2005.
He claimed he feared his drivers
license would be suspended, mak-
ing him unable to work to support
his family.
So, he drove back to the site and
employed materials that he uses
in his work as a welder to melt the
cameras metal body in an explosive
fre.
That backfred because images
of his speeding survived the explo-
sion, as did images of him returning
to attack the camera. He pleaded
guilty to a charge of damaging
property.
The defendant accepts that
he has created a mountain out of
a molehill by behaving stupidly.
He fnds himself in a great deal of
trouble rather than the little deal of
trouble he would have been in,said
defense lawyer Andrew Bailey.
In fact, he would have been in no
trouble.
Ofcials confrmed that the cam-
era Moore sped past was only to
monitor trafc patterns and was de-
signed to deter speeders, not catch
them. It fashed only as a warning.
Squirrels steal dozens of
American fags for nest
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Groundskee-
pers at Forest Hill Cemetery thought
it was kids who were stealing doz-
ens of American fags. That is, until
one found a giant squirrels nest.
I was mowing, looked up out
into the distance, and something
caught my eye, said Dave Ender, a
groundskeeper employed by the
Eau Claire Parks and Recreation De-
partment.
He drove his riding lawnmower
to a nearby street intersection and
looked up a tree.
Lo and behold, I found the miss-
ing fags, Ender said.
They were ripped and serving as
the foundation of a giant squirrel
nest.
Those little rascals, theyre just
amazing, he said.
Police use macadamia nuts
as decoy in drug bust
MOBILE, Ala. Police have
found a new use for macadamia
nuts: undercover work.
Ofcers used chopped macada-
mia nuts to resemble rocks of crack
cocaine during a drug sting Friday
and Saturday on a street corner
near downtown that has been the
subject of repeated complaints
about illegal drug activity.
As part of the sting, police ar-
rested six people on charges of
distribution of a controlled sub-
stance. Police seized crack cocaine,
prescription pain medication, and
more than $4,000 in cash at one lo-
cation, Johnson said.
The people caught buying fake
crack were charged with a misde-
meanor: attempting to possess a
controlled substance.
A University of Kansas employ-
ee reported the theft of a 3-foot
by 5-foot exercise mat from just
inside the main entrance of the
Student Recreation and Fitness
Center. The incident occurred
between Sept. 3 and Sept. 6.
A KU student reported crimi-
nal damage to a car parked near
Hashinger Hall. Someone pur-
posefully rammed the vehicle
to create more space to park in
the lot. Damage was estimated
at $1,000.
A KU student reported the
theft of a yellow parking permit
from the windshield of a car.
The drivers side window had
been left half-way rolled down.
The incident occurred between
Sept. 1 and Sept. 4.
The Public Safety Ofce will
hold an open house from 4 p.m.

Students looking for information
about campus activities need only to
look above their heads in some of the
Universitys most popular areas.
Flat-screen monitors display-
ing campus information have been
installed in the Kansas Union, The
Underground and the Student
Recreation and Fitness Center.
The main purpose is to get mes-
sages out about things going on in
the Union, said Mike Reid, direc-
tor of marketing services for Kansas
Memorial Unions.
Reid said the monitors were pur-
chased this summer and had been
operational in the Union for about
two months.
Three were placed in the Union,
one in The Underground and one
in the recreation center at a cost of
$40,000.
The monitors display upcoming
activities taking place in the Union,
Student Union Activities events and
weather information contained in a
ticker running across the bottom of
the screen.
Chris Blackstone, communications
director for Student Senate, said stu-
dent groups would also have access to
free advertising on the monitors.
Student groups must be registered
with the Student Involvement and
Leadership Center and be open to all
students.
Blackstone said the only advertis-
ing allowed on the monitors would
be announcements for events and
activities by student groups. Regular
weekly meetings would not be placed
on the monitor system.
Liz Cohen, Leawood junior and
president of KU Hillel, said the orga-
nization had already taken advantage
of the free advertising space provided
to them in the newspaper.
Cohen said that having advertise-
ments for student groups in the Union
would be good because it was a place
where people gathered to hang out,
and the advertisements would have a
high visibility to students.
Its just one more thing to get your
name out there, Cohen said.
In the future, Reid wanted to add
monitors to other campus buildings
such as Budig and Fraser halls. Reid
said he also wanted to expand the
service to Strong Hall.
The monitor on the third floor of
the Kansas Union has already been
vandalized. Security cameras caught
two men cutting wires on the moni-
tor in an attempt to steal it. When
the men discovered the monitor was
wired and locked to the wall, they
gave up, leaving an expensive repair
job.

When Kathy Gragg decided to
adopt her dog, Luna, the animals
court-deemed dangerous-dog sta-
tus didnt affect her decision.
Now, after her dog escaped
and allegedly attempted to attack
neighbors, Gragg is advocating to
save her dogs life by having the
city review its dangerous-dog ordi-
nance.
While some cities, including
Overland Park and Dodge City,
ban specific breeds of dogs, both
Lawrence and Douglas County tar-
get dogs on an individual basis.
This means students in possession
of a dog that has been reported for
attacking a human or another ani-
mal are liable for their pets action.
During the Aug. 29 Lawrence
City Commission meeting, Gragg
appealed to the city commission
to review the ordinance. She said
animal control does not do enough
to test each dog to make sure they
are a significant threat to the public.
She added that her dog did not bite
anyone after her escape.
The Lawrence Humane Society
reported a 52 percent decline in
dog attacks over the past fiscal year.
Neglect cases are also down 40
percent.
Commissioner
Dennis Boog
Highberger said
there was no need
to revise the ordi-
nance. He said the
procedures seem
to be sound, but Gragg does have
the right to appeal if she wishes to
continue her complaint.
The city code states court-
deemed dangerous dogs must be
registered with the city. A $50
annual registration fee is charged
to the owner and they must follow
enclosure regulations. A list of dan-
gerous dogs is available from the
city clerks office.
With student finances notori-
ously tight, any type of fine can put
them in the red. The initial fine for
having an unregistered dangerous
dog is $250.
According to the county resolu-
tion, the definition of a dangerous
dog includes dogs that cause death
or some types
of injuries to a
human beings;
dogs that have
been trained to
fight; dogs that
have the poten-
tial to attack human beings without
provocation; and dogs that have
the physical qualities necessary to
cause serious injury.

Fine arts students and faculty will
share their work with the community
and one another at the seventh annu-
al Collage Concert at 7:30 tonight at
the Lied Center.
The concert helps the School of
Fine Arts kick off the new school
year and preview various works. This
year, the concert will feature 13 pre-
sentations from representatives of
the four departments in the school:
dance, art, design and music.
Meggi Sweeney, Carrollton, Mo.,
senior, said having classes in sepa-
rate buildings tended to isolate the
departments, but the concert helped
unify them. Sweeney is a dancer who
has performed at the concert for the
past four years. She said she enjoyed
watching her friends from other
departments perform while support-
ing them backstage.
Every year it
is so refreshing
to re-establish
the bond that is
inherently there
our love for
art, Sweeney
said.
Joshua Frans,
Mc P h e r s o n
junior, has also
performed at the
concert before.
This year, he will
perform a snare
drum duet with
Shane Nickels,
Hu t c h i n s o n
junior.
The concert features eight other
musical performances, as well as a
contemporary East Indian dance by
Patrick Suzeau, associate professor
of music and
dance, and mul-
timedia presen-
tations by the
art and design
depar t ment s .
Each act will
last about four
minutes.
Larry Mallet,
chair of of music
and dance,
said the con-
cert would use
the entire Lied
Center audito-
rium. The mens
glee club will
open the night from the stage, but
following acts will rotate between the
balconies and stage.
The Marching Jayhawks will line
the balconies, stage and aisles to
conclude the concert. Steve Hedden,
dean of Fine Arts, said that the expe-
rience would be emotional and that
the audience would be surrounded
by sound.
A fundraising reception will
take place after the concert in the
Seymour Gallery of the Lied Center.
The receptions proceeds will go to
the schools Student Opportunity
Fund, which provides funds for stu-
dents to travel and exhibit their work.
Hedden said that the fund allowed
nearly 40 students to travel nationally
and internationally last year.

Danny Anderson, new associate
dean of interdisciplinary and area
studies of the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, has had to adjust to
more than just a new office.
It was the first time in my entire
professional life where I had been in
a work environment where English
is the language that we speak all
day long, Anderson said of his new
position.
Anderson studied at the
University of Kansas as a graduate
and worked in the department of
Spanish and Portuguese for nearly
20 years. Going to an environment
where English is the primary lan-
guage spoken has taken some getting
used to, he said.
It struck me as really odd that
Ive lived in the United States most of
my life and yet all of my professional
life that Ive been able to spend a big
part of it speaking other languages,
Anderson said.
Anderson has a long history with
the University. From 1980 to 1985,
he was a graduate student in Spanish.
Then he went to the University of
Texas at Austin and served as a fac-
ulty member from 1985 to 1988 in
Spanish and Portuguese. He came
back to the University in 1988 and
has been part of the Spanish and
Portuguese faculty ever since.
Jill Kuhnheim, professor of
Spanish and Portuguese, said
Anderson, who was department
chair for five years, had made great
contributions to the Spanish and
Portuguese department because he
was good at making positive changes
but also easing those changes with a
smooth transition.
She said that Anderson was
knowledgeable, but not imposing
with his knowledge and very open-
minded about other cultures.

A discussion of Americas surveil-
lance efforts and a recap of recent
Supreme Court cases highlight this
years September Project events.
The events were designed to allow
University of Kansas students and
the Lawrence community to reflect
on Sept. 11 and discuss Americas
healing process.
Shannon Portillo, Shawnee doc-
toral student and a member of the
September Project committee, said
the project started in Washington,
D.C., four years ago to commemo-
rate 9/11 by talking about democra-
cy, patriotism and community. The
event began at the University in 2003
and will take place at the Lawrence
Public Library, 707 Vermont St., this
year, in addition to 417 locations
around the world.
Maria Butler, community relations
coordinator for the Lawrence Public
Library, said she anticipated that the
session on surveillance would spike
the interest of students and faculty.
Security versus freedom is a very
big question right now, Butler said.
Students should be concerned that
the balance has shifted and will con-
tinue to shift. It is up for citizens to
stop that or live with it; it is up for
everyone to decide.
Butler helped coordinate the event
with KU students. Butler said the
library wanted to get involved with
the project to bolster greater under-
standing and civic engagement.
The September Project topics are
of crucial interest to people right
now, Butler said.
Portillo said she wanted the proj-
ect to cause the campus community
to be more proactive in their recog-
nition of different perspectives and
cultures.

The University Daily Kansan emphasizes the First Amendment:
A recent ruling by the Federal
Communications Commission
serves as reminder that the gov-
ernment will continue to fight
the war on terror at the most
unlikely of fronts: the University
of Kansas.
First, some background: In
August 2005, the FCC expanded
the Communications Assistance
for Law Enforcement Act of 1994
to include Internet communica-
tions in addition to telephone
wiretaps.
In fall 2005, The University
Daily Kansan reported that the
University was one out of hun-
dreds of universities whose com-
puter systems the FCC ordered
upgraded. The ruling, which
universities must comply with by
May 14, 2007, would allow law
enforcement to monitor commu-
nication over the Internet with
greater ease.
Federal investigative agen-
cies that obtained a court order
would be capable of effortlessly
monitoring communications of
students and faculty.
KU officials told the Kansan
that the University already com-
plied with court orders for access
and that the mandate would be a
waste of money and could result
in cuts in programs and resources
for KU students.
In July 2006, the FCC issued
a final ruling stating private
networks would not be subject
to the requirements of the act,
Denise Stephens, vice provost
for Information Services and
chief information officer for the
Lawrence campus, said in an e-
mail. So the University will not
have to pay millions to upgrade
its private network, she said.
However, the University
along with several other Kansas
universities will have to share
in the costs of upgrading its
regional network, which it relies
on to connect to the Internet,
she said.
We condemn the FCCs man-
date. Neither students nor tax-
payers should have to pay a cent
for the governments spy games,
especially on University prop-
erty.
Meanwhile, the government
will persist in its bid to make you
pay for the resources it may use
to spy on your Internet activi-
ties.

OUR VIEW COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Grant snider/kAnsAn
Mahatma Gandhi once said that
the greatness of a nation and its
moral progress can be judged by the
way its animals are treated.
By Gandhis standards, Kansas
has recently displayed true greatness
and moral progress with the reform
of its animal cruelty laws.
As of July 1, anyone accused of
intentionally and maliciously kill-
ing, injuring, maiming, torturing,
burning or mutilating an animal
will face felony charges. The new
law, called Scruffys Law in honor
of a terrier beaten and burned to
death in 1997, entails penalties of
at least 30 days in jail and a fine of
$500. Those found guilty will also
have to complete a mandatory psy-
chological evaluation and an anger
management program.
The long awaited enactment of
such a law added Kansas to the now
42 states in which animal cruelty is
considered a felony.
Residents of Douglas County
now have the opportunity to see
the reform in action. A Lawrence
man faces felony charges for killing
his and his roommates pet rabbit,
Melvin. Austin Newport reportedly
put the rabbit in a plastic bag and
tried to break its neck on July 27.
Newport, according to the police
report, said he thought he could
no longer care for the rabbit and
intended to eat it.
That makes perfect sense. I know
when it seems I cant clean up one
more of my dog Masons presents,
my initial solution is to eat him.
Congratulations to Douglas County
for recognizing a potentially sick
individual when it sees one.
I have seen the effects of animal
abuse firsthand. I once saw a cat
that had been doused with lighter
fluid and set on fire, then had devel-
oped horrific bacterial wounds. I
was not able to discern if it was,
indeed, a cat.
Yet that cat, who now proudly
carries the name Leo the Lion-
Hearted and struts around the
Animal Care ER in Salina, could
not be more loving. For Leo, and for
all the countless others like him, I
commend this law.
The new law contains several
exceptions concerning the killing
of animals for authorized hunting,
research experiments, approved vet-
erinary practices and the slaughter-
ing of farm animals for food. I agree
that it is necessary to have these
exceptions; it is necessary to draw
the line somewhere.
I am glad the task of marking
that line was not mine, as I would
not be able to definitively set its
stopping point. The court systems
would be hopelessly overloaded
with cases of squirrel slaughter.
Instead, I will sit back and watch
with a satisfactory smile as Kansas
locks em up, one bunny killer at a
time.

College students are the targets
of countless scams and schemes, but
perhaps the most sketchy and costly
proposition comes from a fairly
reputable corporation: College Pro
Painters.
Each year, College Pro hires 600
franchise managers all college
students to run house-painting
businesses across 38 U.S. states and
seven Canadian provinces.
Several students at the University
are among those who bite at the
valuable experience and huge
chunks of cash that College Pro
dangles in front of students faces.
The companys marketing
department tells homeowners to
book painting jobs with College Pro
so they can benefit college students
in the area.
But College Pro ripped an entire
summer away from Kevin Simpson,
Olathe sophomore, and left him
thousands of dollars in debt. I saw
it happen this summer, because I
worked for Simpsons franchise in
south Overland Park.
While recruiting Simpson,
College Pro told him he would
probably make at least $13,000
during a summer as a franchise
manager.
Instead, Simpson, the broke col-
lege student, ended up $4,400 in
debt, while College Pro, the multi-
million-dollar corporation, made
$11,000 in royalties.
This was after Simpson spent
almost all of his weekends during
the spring semester marketing and
worked as much as 60 hours a week
during the summer.
College Pros Web site does say
there is a risk involved with manag-
ing a franchise. However, it says
College Pro provides people who
will work closely throughout the
year to deal with any problems that
may appear.
Simpson soon learned that this
was hardly true in his case. His
training involved three days
in a classroom spent watching
PowerPoint presentations, followed
by one day of painting.
I was a job site manager for
Simpson, heading one of his paint-
ing crews. College Pro gave me a
few days of ineffective, disorganized
training.
My instructions on my first
house were simple: Paint the house,
with little to no supervision or help,
while training two painters with no
previous experience, without mess-
ing anything up. And stay under
budget.
Of course, a semi-experienced
painter and two people who had
never held a roller before could not
meet a time budget designed for
professional painters. We werent
even close.
College Pro tells franchisees to
pay workers according to the time
budgets set for each house not
the number of hours they actually
work. However, because Simpson
cared about his workers, he decided
to pay us for the extra time.
Simpson already had to pay a siz-
able royalty to College Pro, so this
extra labor cost gobbled up his prof-
it and caused him to lose money on
the house.
This situation repeated itself for
the rest of the summer. We could
not beat budgets, no matter how
hard we worked.
College Pro did virtually nothing
to help Simpson out. He received no
concrete advice or hands-on help.
Near the end of the summer,
Simpsons general manager told him
he could work for the rest of the
summer without paying royalties.
By this time, however, Simpson
had little time to make money back.
His general manager didnt help
when he took workers that Simpson
had worked to recruit and gave
them to another Johnson County
franchise.
A job site manager for this fran-
chise told me his franchisee had
a profitable summer. However, he
said several painting crews quit,
largely because of low pay.
So, to be clear: Pay poor wages
and College Pro will take others
workers to replace yours, but pay
respectable wages and College Pro
will take your workers and leave
you helpless. Seems fair.
College Pro put Simpson in a
position where he had to choose
whether to cheat homeowners, pay
terrible wages or take a financial hit
himself. Being an honorable person,
he chose the last option.
Maybe nothing College Pro
did was illegal. But much of what
College Pro did was unfair, careless
and downright coldhearted.
So, to anyone considering a fran-
chise manager position with College
Pro Painters, heres something
College Pro tends to gloss over: You
can work as hard as you can and
still lose thousands of dollars.
Perhaps thats College Pros fault,
or perhaps thats just the way the
business world works. Either way,
good luck.

Fred Davis NCAA cant deny
joy of being a father (8/30) hit the
nail on the head when pointing
out the NCAAs Title IX hypocrisy.
In an effort to appear woman-
friendly, the NCAAs policy does
not set a strong example of asking
its student-athletes to take respon-
sibility for their lives. How tragic
it is that the NCAA only allows its
female student-athletes to partici-
pate in raising their children and
excludes males from the child-rais-
ing responsibility and experience.
According to the NCAA Web
site, the NCAAs core values express
a belief in and commitment to
the collegiate model of athletics in
which students participate as an
avocation, balancing their academic,
social and athletics experiences. If
the NCAA acknowledges social
experiences as a key part of a stu-
dent athletes college life, why not
acknowledge responsibility? After
all, having a child is not a tempo-
rary experience.
In a world with increasingly
absent fathers and the knowledge
we have about the sad effects on a
child in a fatherless home, I com-
mend Eric Butler for his commit-
ment to his child. Butler is a man
wanting to take part in his childs
life. Shame on the NCAA for its
one-sided policies.

The fixed-rate plan will do little
to ease financial pain for students
who paid tuition between 2002 and
2006 through the five-year tuition
enhancement plan.
Revenue from KU tuition
jumped from $112 million in
2002 to more than $160 million in
2005, an increase of about 42 per-
cent, according to financial docu-
ments from Office of Institutional
Research and Planning. Overall,
tuition at the University has risen
10 to 17 percent each year since
2002.
KU administrators said that
tuition was only a minor portion
of the average students bills each
year, and that the University was
eager to keep tuition affordable.
Were here to offer some plan-
ning and stability, said Lindy
Eakin, vice provost for adminis-
tration and finance. You have to
ask yourself the lifestyle question
at some point.
The money the University
receives from the state has not
significantly increased for years,
Eakin said.
In 2005, the University received
$240 million, a 3 percent increase
from the year before. Some money
taken in during the five-year
tuition enhancement finances
scholarships and grants, including
the KU Tuition Grant.
Tuition prices have increased at
universities across the country. At
the same time, the College Board
reported a dramatic increase in
the amount of non-federal student
loans taken out from 2001 to 2006.
The College Board is a non-profit
organization that collects data on
financial aid and tuition costs.
Students and parents also bor-
rowed $13.8 billion from banks
and credit unions in 2004-05, up
more than 153 percent from $5.4
billion in 2001-02, according to
the organization.
The University benefited from
a 2001 change in the way state
universities are allowed to handle
tuition revenue, Eakin said.
The University now can col-
lect and allocate tuition revenue as
needed, rather than simply pass-
ing tuition checks onto state gen-
eral funds that would be disbursed
later.
KU tuition ranks in the middle
of Big 12 schools, according to the
Columbia Missourian.

He said the renters and landlords
should work together to make these
things happen.
Candles, cooking and overuse of
extension cords are the prime ignit-
ers for house fires, McNorton said.
The University has worked to
improve fire safety by installing
sprinkler systems in residence halls
during the past five years, McNorton
said.
Eric Grospitch, interim executive
assistant to the director of Student
Housing, said McCollum, GSP-
Corbin and Oliver halls did not
have sprinkler systems yet. Instead
of installing them now, he said it
was best to wait until the building
could be renovated, which is part of
the master plan Student Housing is
working on.
Grospitch said the fire alarm sys-
tems are state-of-the-art as far as
immediate response to public safety.
In some ways sprinklers are more
property protection than people pro-
tection, he said.
Grospitch said accidents in resi-
dence halls across the nation often
occur because people didnt leave
during a fire alarm.
Grospitch said the most com-
mon reason a fire alarm goes off in
the University residence halls was
from microwave cooking.

Family Weekend, the annual
event that invites students and their
families to experience traditions of
the University of Kansas and inter-
act with the campus community,
begins tonight and lasts through
Saturday.
The event, which first occurred
in 1932, features a variety of activi-
ties such as free cosmic bowling and
movies, live entertainment, depart-
mental open houses and access to
sporting events on campus.
Margey Frederick, director of
special events and visitor services,
said Family Weekend was geared
toward students who normally
wouldnt have the opportunity to
be with their families.
During freshman new stu-
dent orientation, information was
handed out about the event, but
Frederick said its not intended just
for freshman and new students.
Two years ago special events and
visitor services began mailing post-
cards to the families of sophomores,
juniors and seniors to ensure more
people found out about the event.
This year they have sent out about
13,000 postcards.
Frederick said that having the
event so soon after Labor Day was
a result of scheduling complications
having to work hand-in-hand with
the football season. Usually it is
held later in the semester after stu-
dents have been away from home
for a while, she said.
The football game would be
the biggest draw of the weekend,
Frederick said. The more you
have going on, the more people
are interested in coming to visit the
campus.
Kathy Talbot, adviser for Student
Union Activities, said they were
pleased to be presenting comedian
and magician Brian Brushwood,
who has appeared on The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno. He will be per-
forming his Bizarre Magic show
Saturday afternoon at Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The event also coincides with
Band Day, the KU tradition that
invites high school bands from
across the state to come to Lawrence
and march with the Marching
Jayhawks.
Tom Stidham, associate director
of bands, said that 35 bands would
be performing during halftime of
Saturdays football game against
Louisiana-Monroe.
Stidham said he thought that the
two events were a wonderful oppor-
tunity for high school students to
get a bit of Jayhawk flavor and for
visiting families to enjoy the spec-
tacle of 1,000 students out on the
field at halftime on gameday.

By RyAn SchnEidER
Four years ago, Mark Mangino
wondered whether people even
knew when his football team
played.
On the mile-long bus ride from
the teams offices at Allen Fieldhouse
to Memorial Stadium on gameday,
the Kansas football coach often
noticed just a sparse crowd of tail-
gaters surrounding the stadium.
Our first couple of years here,
people would be walking down the
street and would wonder if some-
thing was going on in the stadium,
Mangino said.
How things have changed in just
a few short seasons.
Now, that bus ride that used to
take less than five minutes takes
much longer. As he rode on the
teams bus with offensive players to
Saturdays game, Mangino couldnt
help noticing the changes in the
gameday atmosphere.
Thousands of fans crowded the
tightly packed areas surrounding
Campanile Hill. Families grilling
pregame meals, father-son football
games and Jayhawk flags waving
high above makeshift tents now are
familiar sights on Saturday after-
noons in Lawrence.
Suddenly, Kansas football games
are an event.
That is a 180-degree turn from
our first couple seasons, Mangino
said.
Fueled by the gradual improve-
ment of the program over the last
few seasons, Kansas set an all-time
season ticket record, selling more
than 29,000 tickets for all seven
home games. Of those tickets sold,
nearly 8,000 belong to students.

Ofensive changes
After a sluggish start to last
weeks game, Kansas coach Mark
Mangino vowed not to be as con-
servative with his teams offense
against Louisiana-Monroe.
Redshirt-freshman quarterback
Kerry Meier started last weeks
game handing off the ball to
running back Jon Cornish on
the teams first possession and
threw two incompletions and
took a sack on the second series.
Despite the slow start, Mangino
said the offense wouldnt be
dulled down because of Meiers
inexperience.
Were not going to have a
vanilla offense just because of
Kerry, Mangino said.
He added that Meier has
already run all of the plays in his
playbook at some point during
preseason training camp.
No changes made
to special teams
Despite last weeks struggles
on special teams, Mangino said
there would be no changes to the
roster. Senior Zack Hood will
retain his spot as long snapper
for field goals and point-after
attempts and redshirt-freshman
Kayl Anderson will continue
long snapping duties for the punt
team.
His first one wasnt great,
Mangino said of Andersons snap
to punter Kyle Tucker. Weve got
a lot of confidence in him, hes
very good at snapping the ball.
Whitaker ailing
Senior left guard Bob
Whitaker, who has battled knee
problems for most of his career,
has had his playing time scaled
back. While he still remains the
starter, Mangino said hes given
Whitaker a few series off each
game to help keep Whitaker
available.
Bobs a tough custom-
er, Mangino said. Hes been
through a lot here, health-wise,
and he just keeps going every
day.
Whitaker said hes able to
continue to make the moves he
needs to on the field, but he
occasionally needs to take time
off to rest his ailing knees. The
Mt. Lebanon, Pa., native was
named to the preseason All-Big
12 Conference Second team.

Big hitters lead Jayhawks to sweep
Kansas defeats No. 16 BYU to open the Jayhawk Invitational
By dREw dAviSon
Kansas swept No. 16 Brigham
Young on Thursday night in the
ideal game to begin one of the
toughest stretches of the season.
We came into tonight needing
a win against a real quality oppo-
nent, coach Ray Bechard said. We
needed to win to really anchor in
some positive thoughts of where we
could go this year, and thats a great
start tonight.
The Jayhawks defeated the
Cougars 30-26, 30-24 and 30-23 at
the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
It was the first game of the Jayhawk
Classic, which
continues through
the weekend.
Bechard said
he was impressed
with the Jayhawks
.437 hitting per-
centage.
Thats pretty
u n b e l i e v a b l e
against a team that
is holding oppo-
nents to around
.120 to .125 hitting efficiency, he
said.
Emily Brown, junior right side
hitter/setter, led Kansas with 20
kills.
I told her afterwards I thought it
was a great performance, Bechard
said. The key for her is to continue
to play at that level, because thats
what we need from her.
Brown had a career-high 25 kills
at Texas A&M last season, but that
match went five games, making this
performance mathematically more
impressive. She wouldnt say it was
the best performance of her career,
though.
I dont know about that, Brown
said. It was a great game for Kansas
volleyball; every single person
played a great game and everyone
was on tonight.
But she said she was not expect-
ing Kansas to sweep a top 25 team.
I knew
we were
ready to go,
she said. We
had a good
practice the
last couple
of days, but
you never
know what
to expect
from a great
team like
that.
Kansas swept No. 15 Texas A&M
last season at home, so last nights
victory was the highest against a
ranked opponent since then.
Brown said the fans also played a
part in helping the Jayhawks. There
were 917 fans at the game, even
though the Jayhawks do not usually
play on Thursdays.
Freshmen Jayhawks played well
against the Cougars.
Katie Martincich ended the night
with 57 assists, had five kills on six
attempts and eight digs.
Brittany Williams, freshman
middle blocker, had some notable
plays as well.
In game two, she finished the
match with a kill.
Williams said she needed to
make up for her kill attempt earlier
in the match when she was totally
stuffed.
In the final match, she ended the
longest volley of the match with a
teardrop kill, giving the Jayhawks a
23-16 lead.
I was trying to end the volley,
Williams said. End it, right now.
Next up, Kansas finishes the
Jayhawk Classic at 1 p.m. Saturday
against Arkansas. The game is at
Horejsi Family Athletic Center,
and admission is free with a valid
KUID.
Brigham Young will face
Arkansas today at 3 p.m.

The womens golf team will travel
to Colorado Springs on Saturday for
its first tournament of the season.
The five-member roster was set
in four qualifying rounds. The top
five scores were put on the travel-
ing team roster. This type of system
helps prepare golfers for the upcom-
ing tournament.
Qualifying is like a mini-tour-
nament in itself, said coach Erin
ONeil. Its a way to get ready for
actual tournaments.
The course, which is at Ptarmigan
Country Club, is a good season open-
er, said Annie Giangrosso, junior.
The team roster includes return-
ing players Amanda Costner, senior,
and Giangrosso, along with three
freshmen: Emily Powers, Camilla
Svennson and Meghan Gockel. Jill
Womble will also travel with the
team as an individual competitor.
The team will keep this roster
through September until it faces
another qualifier in October for
the Marilynn Smith Sunflower
Invitational, its only home tourna-
ment of the season.
The young team has started with
high expectations.
I think its a great squad,
Giangrosso said. We all are com-
ing off great summers, and I think
we could finish in the top three or
four.
Focus is one of the areas that the
team has worked to improve.
Ive been taking care of things
like my clothes and homework early
so I can spend the weekend just
focusing on golf, Svensson said.
The tournament host Colorado
State has brought teams from all
around the country, including Cal
Berkeley, Baylor, San Jose State and
Fresno State.

Courtney Wilson had every
intention of joining the greek com-
munity when she arrived to the
University of Kansas.
Though shes wearing the same
designer sunglasses and skirts as
some of her greek friends, Wilson,
St. Louis junior, has chosen to strut
hers on the lacrosse field in addi-
tion to the campus hills.
For some women, the lacrosse
club has provided a social alterna-
tive to the greek community.
Through the lacrosse team,
Wilson, the team president, found
the friendships she originally
intended to get by joining a soror-
ity. She said she enjoyed not hav-
ing the responsibilities of weekly
chapter meetings, and the other
commitments that come with being
a part of a chapter. With lacrosse,
she has practice and travel com-
mitments, but she enjoys getting
outside during the week after time
indoors for classes.
Joining a house is something Im
glad I didnt do now, she said. Ive
found other things, like lacrosse,
that have worked out great.
Wilson planned to join formal
fall recruitment when she arrived
at the University. She hadnt been
sent the recruitment paperwork
before arriving at school like she
had requested, and was told a few
days into the process that she was
too late to join.
I knew several older girls
involved with the process, she said.
And I was never under the impres-
sion that I could still have joined.
By the time the open recruit-
ment process had begun, she had
decided to pursue lacrosse for her
extracurricular activity.
But Lindsey Leonard, Pittsburgh
sophomore and member of the
womens lacrosse team, joined a
chapter last year. After dropping
the fall formal rush in the second
round because she didnt like her
available choices, Leonard joined
Alpha Delta Pi, 1600 Oxford Road,
during open recruitment.
I came to KU wanting to join a
house and wasnt planning on play-
ing sports, Leonard said.
But its on the playing field that
Leonard found her home at the
University, rather than with her
sisters at Alpha Delta Pi. By the
end of the school year, Leonard had
quit the chapter and was pursuing
lacrosse.
Once I joined the house, I want-
ed that automatic friendship thing,
Leonard said. But I realized these
werent the girls. With lacrosse, I
have a relationship much closer
than in the house.
Jason Krone, associate director
of recreation services, said the team
fit nicely into the club sports pro-
gram by providing a connection
to members on campus in both an
athletic and social manner.
Theyre kind of a tight-knit
group, he said. They are still com-
petitive and have the social aspect
as well.
Wilson and Leonard arent the
only members of the team who
found lasting social relationships
with teammates.
Celie Wall, Greensboro, N.C.,
sophomore, went through the first
few days of this years fall formal
recruitment process before walk-
ing away.
Recruitment just seemed unnec-
essarily long, Wall said. Thats the
real reason I walked away.
The time commitment of an
active member of the greek com-
munity can be rather consuming,
depending on a womans involve-
ment within her house.
Laura Bauer, program director
of fraternity and sorority life, said
active members were expected to
invest two to five hours a week into
their chapters, in addition to keep-
ing study-hour logs on a weekly
basis. Both Wilson and Wall would
have also been expected to attend
new-member education meetings
weekly if they had joined.
The womens lacrosse club prac-
tices three days a week in the fall
and save several weekends for travel
and games. Practices average five to
six hours per week.
With the fall season underway,
all three women are excited to see
how the year shapes up with many
new freshmen faces and personali-
ties joining the team.
Wilson sunglasses and all
cant wait.

DENVER Denver Broncos
wide receiver Rod Smith quickly
doused any discussion about the
fact hes three catches away from
800 for his career.
Im not worried about it,
Smith said Thursday. Ill worry
about it when my career is over.
I like wins. I want the stat for
the most wins
as a receiver,
thats what I
want. Thats
more impor-
tant to me
than any-
thing.
With three
more catch-
es, though,
Smith can
become the
15th play-
er in NFL history to reach the
800-catch milestone and the first
undrafted player to do so.
Smith is already the undis-
puted receptions leader among
undrafted players. The former
Division II Missouri Southern
University star has 797 catches,
which is 217 ahead of Wayne
Chrebet (1995-2005).
With 10,877 career receiving
yards, Smith is 16th on the all-
time yardage list. Jerry Rice heads
the category with 22,895 yards.
Hes also 15th all-time in catches,
again trailing Rice (1,549).
Enough with Smiths personal
stats, though. Hed rather talk
about his teammates. Ask Smith
about them and his eyes wont
roll, but light up.
In Smiths opinion, the
Broncos receiving corps this sea-
son is going to be electric.
Were only as good as the
weakest link and our weakest
link is pretty good, Smith said.
Were all the same, were all one.
Were going to go out there and
were going to ride together no
matter what.
As for the Broncos major off-
season acqui-
sition, Javon
Wa l k e r ,
Smith cant
wait to see
him in a
game situa-
tion.
Hes a
humble guy
but at the
same time he
has a swag-
ger that you
like, Smith said. Like I told
him (Thursday), when you score
a touchdown, the first person
youre probably going to see is
me. I celebrate because I get to
get off the field when you score.
Although the Broncos made
it to the AFC Championship
game last season, Smith thinks
this team can scale even greater
heights.
Somehow we have a better
football team than we had last
year and we had a pretty good
team last year, Smith said. A lot
of guys are hungry.
You see guys around here
smiling a lot. (These) guys are
ready to get back on the field and
go at it again.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Its one
thing to compete for the Heisman
Trophy with someone a couple of
time zones away. Its quite another
when that other person is in the same
locker room.
USCs Reggie Bush and Matt
Leinart know what thats all about.
Leinart won the Heisman two years
ago, Bush last season.
Now, Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr.
take their turn. And Bush has some
advice for the two Ohio State stars,
who could put their candidacies into
overdrive with big games when the
No. 1 Buckeyes play at No. 2 Texas on
Saturday night.
Matt and I werent competing
against each other, said Bush, now
with the New Orleans Saints. There
was no animosity or anything like
that. We were just two guys trying to
win a championship.
Smith and Ginn good friends
and high school teammates in
Cleveland say all the Heisman
talk is secondary to team goals and
victories.
Its cool, said Ginn, a lightning-
quick junior wide receiver and kick
returner.

Last Saturdays announced atten-
dance of 44,025 was the largest
opening-day crowd in 12 years.
Mangino, who has traditionally
greeted students in the first few rows
of the student section before games,
said the number of students was the
first thing he noticed Saturday.
It was packed, and it seems like
its getting bigger, Mangino said.
Ive said all along that part of the
college experience for students is
football games on Saturday after-
noons on your campus. Its all part
of the college experience.
He credited the students support
as part of the reason his team was
riding a seven-game home-win-
ning streak. A victory on Saturday
would tie the program record of
eight straight home wins, set during
the 1951 and 1952, and 1967 and
1968 seasons.
Aside from the pregame atmo-
sphere, Mangino said hed noticed
Kansas fans becoming more foot-
ball-smart. Instead of begging for
noise to help his defense get a key
third-down stop, Kansas fans are
beginning to rise to the occasion on
their own.
Good crowds, if you have a
couple of bad breaks, they just keep
going, Mangino said. Our fans are
starting to do that now. They real-
ize that when things arent going
right, theyve got to jump in and be
a factor.
The crowd has certainly been a
factor in a number of memorable
wins under Mangino, including the
2004 victory against Kansas State
and in last seasons streak-busting
game against Nebraska.
In his first game back on the
sidelines at the stadium, Bill
Whittemore, former Jayhawk quar-
terback and now graduate assistant
coach, estimated 20,000 more fans
attended Saturdays game than the
number attending his first game
in 2002.
Its night and day, Whittemore
said. When we came out, thered
be no one in the first 10 to 15 rows.
Now, its just amazing to see all the
students there when we were warm-
ing up.
Riding just a few rows back from
Mangino on the bus filled with
offensive players on Saturday, fresh-
man running back Jake Sharp made
sure to take in the atmosphere on
the way to his first collegiate game.
The blue-clad fans crowding into
the yards and parking lots surround-
ing the stadium, Sharp said, provide
added motivation for the team.
On your way to the battle, you
see all the fans there, Sharp said. It
kind of reminds you why you play.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. If
Marvin Lewis is mad at the Kansas
City Chiefs, hes not letting on.
Leave that to Rudi Johnson.
Still fresh in the mind of
Cincinnatis star running back are
bitter memories of KC holding a
30-3 lead in the final three min-
utes but still chucking passes into
the end zone, and hitting one.
It left a bad taste in our
mouth, said Johnson. Nobodys
forgotten that game.
Now eight months later and
buoyed by Carson Palmers
remarkable recovery from
reconstructive knee surgery,
the Bengals will open the sea-
son Sunday in the very stadium
and against the very team that
mauled them 37-3 in last years
regular-season finale.
The Chiefs had already been
shut out of the playoffs because of
Pittsburghs victory that day over
Detroit. But in Dick Vermeils final
game as head coach, they wanted
to see Trent Green get 4,000 yards
passing and Larry Johnson erase
the team rushing record.
So they kept pouring on the fire
and, at the Bengals expense, both
did. Greens 4,014 yards made him
the fourth quarterback in NFL
history to post three consecutive
4,000-yard seasons. Johnson had
201 yards and three TDs and a
team-record 1,750 yards.
Weve had this game marked on
our calendar for a year, said Johnson.
Were looking forward to going out
there and putting on a great show.
Nonsense, says Lewis.
Theyre a different football
team coached by a different
person than last year, said the
Bengals coach. Were a different
team. Theyre a different team.
This is a new season.
In Kansas Citys defense, the
Bengals had already wrapped
up their first playoff berth since
1990 and Palmer and many other
starters played only a few series.
Nevertheless, it stung.
They scarred us for 200
yards, said defensive end Bryan
Robinson. We know what they
did to us last year.
But as Chiefs defensive end Jared
Allen points out, Vermeil has been
replaced by Herm Edwards and
Edwards that day was not within
1,000 miles of Kansas City.
That has nothing to do with
us, he said. Thats the coachs
decision. Hes the one calling
plays. Were out here to win.
Palmer, injured in the first
few minutes of the Bengals play-
off loss to Pittsburgh, thrilled
Cincinnatis fans the way he
rebounded from an injury that
some felt might end his career.
A perfect 4-0 preseason record,
Cincinnatis first, also has fans
looking forward to a second
straight division title.
The Bengals, for the third
straight year, also return every
offensive starter. Acquisitions
of massive defensive tackle Sam
Adams and safety Dexter Jackson
could strengthen a defense that
gave up almost 400 yards a game.
Under Edwards, the Chiefs
have also made a big effort to
shore up a leaky defense. The
offense that led the league from
2001-05 with 30,470 yards and
262 touchdowns probably will
not be the same, either. Gone are
several key operatives, including
left tackle Willie Roaf, running
back Priest Holmes and fullback
Tony Richardson.

You probably havent realized it,
but the Jayhawks have already been
selected to play in the Insight Bowl
in Tempe, Ariz., on Dec. 29 against
the Purdue Boilermakers.
Well, kind of.
The Web site CBSSportsLine.com
is attempting to predict which teams
will play in specific bowl games this
season, and following the first week-
end of games, it released its first
predictions Tuesday.
I dont know about you, but I
think its too early to be predict-
ing what bowl Kansas will be play-
ing in, especially after basing a pre-
diction on watching Kansas play
Northwestern State.
The Insight Bowl would definitely
be an upgrade from the Fort Worth
Bowl, but lets not kid around. The
Jayhawks need to prove themselves.
Yes, the Jayhawks have the poten-
tial to win a lot of games this season.
Yes, they even have a realistic chance
of winning the Big 12 North, but
until we see them play a few games
and see what we have, those predic-
tions wont mean much of anything.
We have a lot of players with high
expectations that are expected to
contribute this season, but havent
done anything yet to prove them-
selves.
Most people expect Kerry Meier
to be our savior at quarterback and
immediately fix a position that has
recently given Kansas some trouble,
but we really dont know how good
he is. He has played one game in the
past two years, and that was against
a Division I-AA opponent.
The defense may be the most
unproven group of them all. They
are being hyped as being better than
last years defense, which was statis-
tically one of the top defenses in the
country; but once again, they have
nine new starters who have yet to
prove that they really are as good.
I am not saying that Kerry Meier
or the Kansas defense are not as
good as they are being hyped up to
be. Heck, they might even be better
than people think.
All I am saying is that we need
to sit back and let them prove to us
how good they actually are, before
we go out and predict how well the
Jayhawks will finish up this year.
As of now, the Web site has Ohio
State playing West Virginia in the
National Championship on Jan. 8.
In the other BCS Bowls, they predict
Texas will face LSU in the Fiesta
Bowl, Auburn will face Notre Dame
in the Sugar Bowl, USC will play
Iowa in the Rose Bowl, and Florida
State and Oklahoma will meet in the
Orange Bowl.
Thats right, two Big 12 Conference
teams in BCS bowls.
Other Big 12 teams selected
to appear in bowls are Nebraska,
Cotton Bowl; Texas Tech, Gator
Bowl; Missouri, Alamo Bowl; Iowa
State, Holiday Bowl; Texas A &
M., Texas Bowl; and Kansas State,
Independence Bowl.
For those of you counting at home,
thats nine Big 12 teams headed for
bowl games. Only Baylor, Colorado
and Oklahoma State are predicted to
be left out of the post season.
Remember, these predictions will
become more accurate as the season
goes on. Also remember that until
the Jayhawks prove themselves, the
talk and hype surrounding this team
will be just one thing: a prediction.

ASSOCiATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. If John
Welbourn can talk the brass into
taking him back, hell get a warm
welcome from his old Kansas City
teammates.
In the executive offices, however,
there seems to be skepticism about
a player who will have missed 10
games in two years for violating
the NFL policy on performance-
enhancing drugs.
I think John could help the team.
Hes obviously a gifted player and
started a lot of games for us, quar-
terback Trent Green said Thursday.
If he comes back and is ready to
play and can help the team, I think
everybody would be pretty open to
that.
The NFL announced Wednesday
that Welbourn, who retired in June
but later asked for reinstatement,
had been suspended for six games.
After sitting out a four-game sus-
pension at the beginning of last sea-
son for the same reason, Welbourn
wound up starting nine games and
was an important part of a 10-6
season.
The Chiefs hold his rights for the
next three years. But general manag-
er Carl Peterson seemed lukewarm
to the idea of taking him back.
Specific to what his status will be
with the Chiefs after the suspension,
well address at that time, Peterson
said.
Like just about any other team in
the NFL, the Chiefs could make use
of an experienced lineman.
The unexpected retirement of left
tackle Willie Roaf on the eve of
training camp tore another hole in
their offensive line, which has long
been a strength of the Chiefs.
Kyle Turley, who had been signed
to compete for the right tackle spot
Welbourn vacated, was quickly
switched to the left side. But Turley is
trying to come back from a two-year
absence brought on by a back injury
and no one knows whether hell hold
up through an entire season.
John could help this team, said
defensive end Jared Allen. Hes
proven in the NFL that he can get
the job done. Anytime you can bring
a guy back and add depth to your
tackle position, I think definitely it
would help.
Id like to have him back on this
team. Hes a neat guy.
The NFL said Welbourn would
be eligible to return Oct. 23. His
absence would actually be seven
weeks because of Kansas Citys bye
in Week 3.
He started nine games for us last
year and he played pretty well, said
left guard Brian Waters. He helped
us win some games. I would hope
the door would not be closed.
Head coach Herm Edwards said
he was going to defer to Peterson
and owner Lamar Hunt.
Obviously, the doors are always
open for players. Well just see what
happens, Edwards said. Carl has
to comment on all that. Thats not
my forte. When something like that
happens to a player, I work for two
other people. They have to make that
decision.
If Welbourn does rejoin the
Chiefs, hell be working under a new
head coach, since Edwards this year
replaced the retired Dick Vermeil.
As a coach, Ill say this you
always want good players, Edwards
said. But you never want to put the
team in harms way. That will be dis-
cussed by Carl.
There might also be a concern
about Welbourns physical shape. He
missed all of training camp and has
not been practicing with the team.

ASSOCiATED PRESS
Marion Jones career of triumph
and suspicion is back on track.
Though she probably wont run again
this year, the strongest doping allega-
tions against her are now defunct,
and her sights are firmly set on next
years world championships and
the 2008 Olympics.
Shes a hell of an athlete, her
coach Steve Riddick told The
Associated Press on Thursday, and
I think people should just leave her
alone.
Once the darling of her sport,
Jones successful fight against her
first positive drug test is the latest
twist in a career of extreme highs
and lows.
I would hope that now that its
over with she can relax the rest of the
year and come back and represent
the country at the world champion-
ships, then go on to Beijing, Riddick
said.
After competing for years under
a cloud of suspicion, Jones tested
positive for EPO June 23 at the U.S.
track and field championships in
Indianapolis, where she won the 100
meters, her 14th national title.
Jones immediately requested a
B sample be tested. Her attorney
released a statement on Wednesday
that the second test was negative, a
result Jones said she was ecstatic
about.
The tests were conducted at a
UCLA laboratory that routinely
examines samples for the U.S. Anti-
Doping Agency. Lab director Don
Catlin did not return a telephone
request for comment.
Riddick said he didnt expect
Jones, who turns 31 on Oct. 12, to
raced again until next season, when
shell aim for another U.S. title and a
berth in the world championships in
Osaka, Japan.
Arne Ljungqvist, chairman of the
International Olympic Committee
medical commission and a mem-
ber of the World Anti-Doping
Association executive committee,
called the reversal of the B sample
quite unusual.
Its happened only a handful
of times in the last 30 years I can
remember, but it does happen, he
said in a telephone interview with
the AP. One needs to seek an expla-
nation from the lab. ... For the time
being, we can only speculate.
In 2003, Kenyan distance runner
Bernard Lagat pulled out of the 2003
world championships after news
leaked that he had tested positive for
EPO. He was later cleared, though,
when the B test was negative, and
won the national 1,500-meter title in
Indianapolis this year.
USA Track & Field, the sports
national governing body, had little to
say about Jones case.
We respect the USADA pro-
cess, spokeswoman Jill Geer said,
and when an athletes `B does not
confirm the `A there is no doping
offense. So in Marions case, there is
no doping offense.
Ljungqvist defended the EPO test-
ing system.
The science of the method as
such has been validated and con-
firmed as absolutely safe and OK,
but its not unusual in the life of a
laboratory that incidents may occur,
he said. The test does have some pit-
falls as respect to the interpretation.
It remains unclear which test
the A or B ultimately is
accurate.
We certainly know there are
situations where the A and B may
not necessarily look the same,
Ljungqvist said. One doesnt know if
the A is the correct analysis and the
B is incorrect, or vice versa. Thats the
open question.
Jones negative B sample has
done nothing to shake USADAs faith
in the testing process, general coun-
sel Travis Tygart said.
We have full confidence in the
EPO test, we stay abreast or ahead
of the science involved, and well
continue using it going forward, he
said.
Under U.S. regulations, an ath-
letes `A test results are supposed to
remain confidential until not only
the `B sample is tested, but a review
hearing is conducted. However, IAAF
rules require the provisional suspen-
sion of the athlete following an initial
positive drug test, and that often
leads to media leaks especially on
high profile athletes.
Jones has been a person of interest
to USADA for years. She testified to
the federal grand jury investigating
the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative
in San Francisco. Her boyfriend at the
time, former world 100-meter record
holder Tim Montgomery, also testi-
fied and later was suspended from
competition for two years, although
he never tested positive for a banned
substance.
Montgomery announced his
retirement but has resumed training
and would be eligible to compete
again next summer.
I think he will, Riddick said. He
aint training for his health.
With a mix of charm and talent,
Jones was the sports biggest person-
ality in the late 1990s. At the Sydney
Games in 2000, she became the first
woman to win five Olympic track
medals, three of them gold.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker is hauled down by Miami Dolphins linebacker ZachThomas, bottom, and Kevin Carter, top, in the
opening game of the NFL football season at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh won the game 28-17.
NFL
Steelers win season opener against Dolphins
Pittsburgh marks
first win with
sideline kiss
By ALAN ROBINSON
ASSOcIAted PReSS
PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh
Steelers needed two big plays from
unlikely sources to pull out a sea-
son-opening victory behind their
backup quarterback.
Maybe Miami Dolphins coach
Nick Saban should be flagged for a
costly delay, too.
Tight end Heath Miller chugged
his way down the Steelers sideline
on an 87-yard touchdown pass play
midway through the fourth quarter,
fill-in QB Charlie Batchs third scor-
ing pass of the game, and the Super
Bowl champions beat the Dolphins
28-17 Thursday night in the NFLs
first game of the season.
Only Miller didnt really score
TV replays clearly showed him
stepping out between the 2 and 1-
yard lines. However, Saban waited
until too late to throw his red chal-
lenge flag, which fell to the turf
sight unseen behind and referee
Walt Coleman watching the extra
point kick. That meant the Steelers
didnt have to try to get the ball into
the end zone from short yardage.
Saban apparently thought he
could throw the challenge flag at
any time before the kick went off,
but no official saw him and thus
there was no replay.
And no Dolphins upset, either,
even though the Steelers didnt look
particularly sharp in their first game
that counted since the Super Bowl
despite Willie Parkers 115 yards
rushing, Millers 101 yards receiv-
ing and Batchs first three-TD game
since Nov. 18, 2001, with Detroit.
Miami had a chance to come
back, but new quarterback Daunte
Culpepper was intercepted on con-
secutive series, with linebacker Joey
Porter scoring on a 42-yard return
with about three minutes left.
We knew we had put them in a
situation where they had to pass the
ball. I had my chance to make the
play and I made it, Porter said.
Porter was so excited, he ran to
the sideline and kissed coach Bill
Cowher on the cheek the Steelers
first known sideline kiss since
Cowher planted one on Kordell
Stewart during a 1997 comeback
victory in Baltimore.
Id go to war for him, Porter
said.
The Dolphins, trying to build
off the momentum of their six con-
secutive victories to end last sea-
son, never led until Ronnie Brown
scored on a 5-yard run to make it
17-14 in the third quarter.
Marty Booker, sidelined with
what appeared to be a concussion
in the first half, came back to make
a 50-yard catch of Culpeppers pass,
aided by safety Tyrone Carters slip,
to set up the score.
Culpepper was mostly effective
in his first start for the Dolphins,
until his late-game mistakes. He also
was intercepted by Troy Polamalu
immediately after Millers catch put
the Steelers up. Culpepper finished
18-for-37 for 262 yards.
The Steelers also overcame a
costly mistake when Batch fumbled
Jeff Hartings snap at the Miami 1
and Will Allen recovered, keeping
the Dolphins in the lead temporar-
ily.
For the first 2 1/2 quarters, the
Steelers looked much like they did
in the Super Bowl seven months
ago without Ben Roethlisberger,
of course.
The quarterback made an unex-
pectedly fast recovery from a June
motorcycle crash, only to need
an emergency appendectomy on
Sunday that kept him out of his fifth
game in two seasons.
Just like in that 21-10 win over
Seattle in the Super Bowl, there was
a Hines Ward touchdown catch, a
long Parker run and a favorable call
from an official, helping the Steelers
go up 14-7.
Ward, who sat out the preseason
with a sore hamstring, caught a 7-
yard touchdown pass from Batch
late in the first half.
Parker used his speed to get loose
on a 32-yard run to the Dolphins 35,
and cornerback Andre Goodman
drew a 23-yard pass interference
call on Cedrick Wilson. Goodman
started because of Travis Daniels
ankle injury.
Batch, making his first sea-
son-opening start since 2001 with
Detroit, looked rusty for two drives,
only to settle in and throw a 27-yard
scoring pass to Nate Washington
to finish off a 75-yard drive early
in the second period. It was the
first regular-season catch for
Washington, a 2005 free agent from
Tiffin University whose only other
career reception came in the AFC
title game.
Batch was 15-for-25 for 209
yards.
Miami couldnt get a running
game going until the second half
at one point, Brown had 11 yards
on nine carries but tied it at 7
when Wes Welkers 47-yard punt
return set up Browns 2-yard run.
The Steelers unveiled their five
Super Bowl championship banners
during a pregame show highlight-
ed by fireworks and an in-stadium
concert, but the mood in Heinz
Field wasnt entirely celebratory.
A moment of silence was held
minutes before the opening kickoff
for the late Pittsburgh Mayor Bob
OConnor, who was buried earlier in
the day. OConnor died in office last
week of brain cancer. His son, Corey,
was introduced to the crowd.

AssocIATED PREss
LONDON Prime Minister
Tony Blair, his reputation in Britain
badly damaged by his refusal to
break ranks with President Bush,
gave in Thursday to a fierce revolt
in his Labour Party and reluctantly
promised to quit within a year.
Blair, whose popularity began
sinking when he committed his
nation to the U.S.-led war in Iraq
three years ago, had long resisted
calls to publicly set a timeframe for
his departure from office. He feared
such an announcement would make
him a lame duck and sap his remain-
ing authority.
But ultimately, the foreign leader
best known to Americans could find
no other way to end days of public
turmoil that were severely damaging
Labour, which has been in power
for nearly a decade but now trails
the opposition Conservatives in the
polls.
I would have preferred to do
this in my own way, Blair said, as
he conceded that the partys annual
conference this month would be his
last. Next years conference is sched-
uled for September 2007.
He refused to set a specific depar-
ture date, saying, The precise time-
table has to be left to me and has to
be done in the proper way.
Blair appeared to have struck a
deal with his expected successor,
Treasury chief Gordon Brown, who
signaled his support in a statement
minutes before Blair spoke to tele-
vision cameras at a north London
school.
The key question is whether the
prime ministers exit strategy will be
detailed and speedy enough to sat-
isfy the impatient Labour legislators
who forced his hand.
Early signals were that it would
buy the 53-year-old Blair time
but not much. Hes eager to reach
the 10-year anniversary of his 1997
assumption of office, which would
be in May.
White House spokesman Tony
Snow said Blair and Bush still had a
lot of work to do together.
Hes a valued ally, Snow said.
And at this point, were not sitting
around writing encomia for Tony
Blair. Were instead busy working
with him.
With the outbreak of the Iraq
war in 2003, Blair began to lose the
iron control he once exercised over
his party.
Long derided by critics as the U.S.
presidents poodle, he suffered a
further blow at Julys G-8 summit
in St. Petersburg, Russia. An open
microphone caught a chat in which
he seemed embarrassingly subser-
vient to Bush, who greeted him by
shouting Yo, Blair!
Anger over his handling of this
summers Mideast fighting and anxi-
ety over the partys slide in the polls
fueled the rank-and-files impatience
for him to leave quickly, or at least
to say when he planned to go. Blairs
refusal to call for an early end to the
Israel-Hezbollah fighting in Lebanon
was the final provocation for many
once-loyal supporters.
It served as yet another reminder
of his close alliance with Bush a
friendship widely detested within
the Labour Party and stirred bitter
memories of Blairs decision to com-
mit Britain to the Iraq war despite
intense public opposition.
That conflict is the root of his
political problems, and continued
bloodshed in Iraq keeps it in the
headlines. The war has severely dam-
aged his credibility and was widely
seen as the reason Labour suffered
a sharply reduced majority when he
led it to a third straight election win
last year.
Blair promised before that vote
that he would not seek a fourth
term.
A resurgent Conservative Party
with a dynamic young leader, David
Cameron, has added recently to his
woes.
Cameron, benefiting from
Labours troubles, said the govern-
ment was at war with itself.
Whats happened today isnt
going to end the uncertainty, he said
in a statement. It will probably only
add to the paralysis. And frankly
Britain deserves better than this.
Browns statement, though,
seemed aimed at showing Labour
remained united.
Opening a childrens sports tour-
nament in Glasgow, Scotland, Brown
said that although he has had ques-
tions about Blairs plans, he would
support his decisions.
When I met the prime minister
yesterday I said to him ... it is for him
to make the decision, said Brown,
who looked relaxed and cheerful. I
will support him in the decisions he
makes.
Chris Bryant, who organized a
letter in which 15 Labour lawmak-
ers called this week for the prime
ministers resignation, said he was
encouraged.
I hope we can get on with an
open and transparent process of
appointing our new leader sooner
rather than later, he said.
Eight junior officials quit
Wednesday rather than remove their
names from the letter.
Their revolt had raised the pos-
sibility that Labours eventual change
of command would be rancor-
ous and messy reminiscent of
Margaret Thatchers abrupt, invol-
untary departure from office in
1990 at the hand of rebels in her
Conservative Party rather than
the stable, orderly transition that
Blair has long promised.
The prime minister apologized on
Labours behalf for the tumultuous
week, which also reportedly includ-
ed shouting matches with Brown.
With everything thats going on
here and in the world (it) has not
been our finest hour, Blair said.
The two men, now fierce rivals,
jointly overhauled Labour in the
1990s, dragging it to the political
center and making it electable again
after 18 years in opposition.
Political legend says they struck
a deal about the partys future at
a chic north London restaurant
shortly after then-leader John Smith
died suddenly in 1994. Brown would
stand aside and give Blair a clear shot
at the top job, the gossip goes, if Blair
committed to step down midway
through a second term as prime
minister and let his old competitor
take the job.
Both have refused to comment
on the rumor, but more than a year
into Blairs third term Brown and
his allies were clearly growing impa-
tient.
Eager to prevent the eventual
handover from getting even uglier
and throwing the elections expected
in 2009 to the Tories many party
heavyweights strongly backed Brown
as the next Labour leader and prime
minister.
I have no doubt that when the
time comes next year, the party will
choose Gordon to succeed Tony
and its right that he should,
said Peter Hain, Blairs secretary for
Northern Irish affairs.
Theories about the exact timing
for a leadership change abound.
Speculation focused on May but
Blairs spokesman said widespread
guesses about a specific date were
just plain wrong.
British governments usually serve
maximum five-year terms before
the House of Commons must face
re-election. The prime minister is
almost always the leader of the party
that commands a parliamentary
majority.
But an election can happen more
quickly either because the prime
minister loses majority support in
the Commons, or chooses to call an
early election in hopes of increasing
the governments majority. If a prime
minister resigns or dies, an election
is not required; the new leader of the
governing party can become prime
minister if backed by a Commons
majority.
Brown, 55, keeps a low public
profile.
Politically, he has been described
as a brilliant thinker who has kept
a steady hand on Britains previ-
ously fickle economy in his role as
Treasury chief and masterminded
Labours landslide election wins in
1997 and 2001.
But he lacks Blairs gregarious
nature and polish and some Labour
supporters worry he wont score as
well with voters.

No. 1 Ohio State at No. 2 Texas,
Saturday 7 p.m. on ABC
Considered by some to be a national championship in September, the
winner of this game will control its destiny as to playing in the actual na-
tional championship game in January. The loser can only hope to climb
back into national championship contention by the end of the season.
Ohio State is coming of a 35-12 victory over Northern Illinois, where
Heisman Trophy candidates senior quarterback Troy Smith and junior wide
receiver Ted Ginn Jr. had impressive 2006 debuts. Smith completed 18 of
25 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns while Ginn caught four
passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
Texas will be without its top cornerback, senior Tarell Brown, after he
was arrested on misdemeanor drug and weapon charges Monday morn-
ing. Junior linebacker Tyrell Gatewood was also charged with misdemean-
or marijuana possession and will not play Saturday.
No. 19 Penn State at No. 4 Notre Dame,
Saturday 2:30 p.m. on NBC
Both teams won their season openers, but neither did so in impressive
fashion. As a result, Notre Dame dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 and Penn
State remained in the No. 19 spot. A loss for Notre Dame could spell an
exit from the Top 10 for the Fighting Irish and a loss for Penn State could
bounce the Nittany Lions from the Top 25 altogether.
Penn State held Akron to 225 total yards on ofense last week, but man-
aged only 282 yards of its own. Although junior quarterback Anthony Mo-
relli had three touchdowns, he completed just 50 percent of his passes and
senior running back Tony Hunt averaged just 2.6 yards-per-carry.
Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn completed 23 of 38 passes
for 246 yards last week, but his only touchdown came on the ground. Ju-
nior running back Darius Walker led the Fighting Irish to victory with 122
total yards and the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter.
Washington at No. 15 Oklahoma,
Saturday 2:30 p.m. on ABC
Washington and Oklahoma were rusty last week. This game will prove
which team could actually contend in its respective conference.
Washington had to fend of San Jose State in a 35-29 victory last week
at home. The ofense proved potent with 468 total yards and fve touch-
downs, but also careless with three turnovers. At the same time, the de-
fense allowed 373 yards and failed to force a turnover. Junior running back
Louis Rankin clinched the victory with his touchdown in the fourth quar-
ter.
Oklahoma was tied with UAB for most of the game last Saturday and
even trailed momentarily. Like Washington, Oklahoma ultimately won
thanks to its running back junior Adrian Peterson. On top of 143 rush-
ing yards, his 69-yard touchdown reception gave Oklahoma the lead on its
way to a 24-17 victory.
Ofense
Kansas ofense put together a fairly bal-
anced attack last week, with Jon Cornish rush-
ing for 140 yards and a touchdown, and Kerry
Meier throwing for touchdowns and running
for two scores, as well. After a slow start, the
ofense seemed to fnd its stride, especially in
the second half, scoring touchdowns on three
of six possessions. The Jayhawks ofense is a
drastic improvement over the units per-
formance last season, but will need to be
crisper early in the game.
Defense
The Kansas defense fared
surprisingly well in its
opening game of the
season, despite nearly
half of its players mak-
ing their frst career
starts on Saturday.
Throughout the ofsea-
son, Mangino has been very optimistic
about this seasons defense. Although
they made a few key stops early in the
game, against a team like Northwestern
State, the secondary shouldnt be giving
up more than 200 yards passing.
Momentum
After an ugly start to the North-
western State game, Kansas rallied
and eventually put up 49 points, the
most in a season opener since 1992. Not
only did the special teams get Kansas into an
early 6-0 hole, the ofense sputtered in its frst
two possessions. The defense fared well, but
the secondary allowed too many long passing
plays for a team like Northwestern State. As
the season progresses, the Jayhawks will not
be able to aford to get of to such a slow start.
This team has much work to do still - and fast
as a national television date with Toledo is just
a week away.
Ofense
The Warhawk ofense was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
act last week. While racking up 320 total yards, the of-
fense reached the endzone just twice because of four
turnovers. This ofense will go as far as sophomore
dual-threat quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster can take
it. Seven players had at least one reception last week,
so Lancaster will need to continue to spread the ball
around, but not too much, as he threw two intercep-
tions last week.
The Warhawks can relieve some of the pressure
on Lancaster with a successful rushing game. Ju-
nior Calvin Dawson and senior Erroll Hogan com-
bined for 115 rushing yards last week, averaging
4.6 yards-per-carry.
Defense
The Louisi-
ana- Monr oe
defense sur-
r e n d e r e d
just 40 rush-
ing yards last
week, which
is impressive
considering its
inexperience
up front. All
four starters
on the line
are new to
the starting
lineup this
season. Loui-
siana-Monroe also has three new
starters at linebacker from last sea-
son. True freshman Cardia Jackson
had the most impressive debut of the
Warhawks linebackers. He was second on the
team with fve tackles and recovered a fumble.
Louisiana-Monroes strength on defense is its sec-
ondary where all four players started in 2005. The
Warhawks defense recovered three fumbles and
picked of two passes last week. Junior cornerback
James Wright returned his interception 33 yards for
a touchdown.
Momentum
Louisiana-Monroe is 1-0 for the frst time
under fourth-year coach Charlie Weatherbie.
In addition, Saturday will be a homecoming
of sorts for Weatherbie, who was born in
Sedan and graduated from Fort Scott High
School. This week, Weatherbie said his team
would need to improve on its special teams, but
his special teams units performed well last week.
Junior kicker Ragan Walters converted his only feld
goal attempt and all three of his extra point attempts.
Senior Kevin Payne averaged 42.2 yards-per-punt
with a long of 60 yards, and junior running back Cal-
vin Dawson averaged 22.5 yards per kickof return.
Louisiana-Monroe defeated
Alcorn State in its season open-
er, 24-6. The Warhawks posted
14 points in the fnal quarter to
clinch the victory and gained
310 total yards to the Braves 205
total yards. Saturday will mark
the frst meeting between Loui-
siana-Monroe and Kansas, and
Kansas is the only Big 12 school
Louisiana-Monroe will play this
season. However, Kansas is the
frst of four BCS-eligible teams
Louisiana-Monroe will play. The
other three are Alabama, Arkan-
sas and Kentucky, all from the
SEC.
4 The number of posi-
tions senior Kevin Payne played
last week: punter, punt returner,
safety and kick returner.
5 The Warhawks forced
fve turnovers last week, but had
four of their own and almost lost
two more fumbles.
27-23 The score when
Louisiana-Monroe lost to North-
western State in its 2005 season
opener.
139 Louisiana-Monroe
gained 139 more yards rushing
than Alcorn State last week.
2006 The frst year Loui-
siana-Monroe has used the nick-
name, Warhawks. Formerly the
Indians, Louisiana-Monroe had
to change its nickname to com-
ply with NCAA mascot restric-
tions.
Sophomor e
quarterback Kin-
smon Lancaster
Lancaster has
plenty in com-
mon with Jay-
hawk quarterback Kerry Meier.
Last week, Meier was 8-of-18
for 110 yards and rushed for 62
yards, while Lancaster was 8-of-
17 for 100 yards and rushed for
67 yards in the Warhawks vic-
tory. And while Meier left the
Northwestern State game be-
cause Kansas had the game in
hand, Lancaster was forced out
of his game against Alcorn State
because he lost a contact.
Lancaster will have to be the
better dual-threat quarterback
this week for Louisiana-Monroe
to have a chance.
Turnovers The Warhawks
proved they were capable of
forcing turnovers with two in-
terceptions and three fumble
recoveries last week. Sopho-
more Kinsmon Lancaster threw
two interceptions and Louisi-
ana-Monroe put the ball on the
ground four times, losing two of
the fumbles.
As Kansas continues its non-
conference competition, the
foes get tougher each week.
The Jayhawks will meet their
frst Division I-A opponent this
season Saturday, taking on
Louisiana-Monroe. Because its
competition continues to im-
prove, Kansas cant aford to
get of to the slow start it did
last week. Mangino said it was
good to see the team face ad-
versity early in the season, but
he wont be happy if his team
continues to fall behind early
on a weekly basis.
3 The number of consec-
utive victories by the Jayhawks,
the second longest streak of the
Mangino era.
23 Consecutive starts by
senior center David Ochoa.
9 Jayhawks that made
their frst career start against
Northwestern State.
140 Rushing yards last
week by senior Jon Cornish, a
career-high.
7 Consecutive victories
for Kansas when playing at Me-
morial Stadium.
F r e s h ma n
running back
Jake Sharp ran
for nearly 40
yards in his colle-
giate debut last Saturday. As the
main backup for Cornish, Sharp
should see signifcant time in
the backfeld throughout the
season. Sharps size enables him
to squeeze through small holes
created by the ofensive line.
He was able to do that against
Northwestern State and turn
what would have been short
runs into big gains.
Secondary Kansas may
still be without preseason All-
Big 12 cornerback Aqib Talib,
who was reportedly suspended
for the teams frst two games.
Even with senior safety Jerome
Kemp returning last week, Kan-
sas secondary gave up nearly
220 yards passing. With several
new starters this season, the
secondary might take a few
more weeks to develop.
Specialists Both punter
Kyle Tucker and kicker Scott
Webb struggled in the season
opener. While Mangino said
that both would be working to
correct the errors that caused
several miscues on special
teams last week, more prob-
lems this week would signal a
bad trend.
