Five years ago, every-
thing in the united states
changed. as the four
planes crashed into the
world Trade center tow-
ers, the Pentagon and a
feld in Pennsylvania, we
shuddered to make sense
of the violence.
weve seen our fellow
students, our instruc-
tors, our families and
our friends march of to
foreign countries to fght
in the war on Terror. weve
seen gas prices climb to
more than $3 per gallon.
weve taken of shoes and
belts as weve boarded
airplanes.
a lot has changed since
that day in 2001. Today
is an appropriate time to
look back fve years and
ofer a tribute to those
whose lives were lost or
irreversibly changed. we
asked you to share your
refections, and we pres-
ent that here today.

56-year-old woman
shoots man in elbow
NEW YORK Margaret John-
son might have looked like an
easy target in her wheelchair.
So when a man tried to grab
a chain of her neck Friday, the
56 year old pulled out her li-
censed .357 pistol and shot him
in the elbow, police said.
Theres not much to it, she
said in a brief interview. Some-
body tried to mug me, and I
shot him.
Johnson said she was in Har-
lem on her way to a shooting
range when the man, identifed
by police as 45-year-old Deron
Johnson, came up from behind
and went for the chain.
Boa constrictor survives

NEW YORK Snakes alive! A
boa constrictor was recovering
Friday at a Manhattan animal

on a Brooklyn street, authorities
said.
The boa is resting, healing,
and our medical technicians
are keeping an eye on it, said
Richard Gentles, spokesman
for the Manhattan Animal Care
Center. The snake was brought
to the facility on Thursday with
an injury to its lower jaw, report-
edly when the man stabbed the
boa with scissors.
Elephant learns Korean
by mimicking keeper
SEOUL, South Korea A
16-year-old Asian elephant can

amusement park ofcials said.
The pachyderm produces hu-
manlike sounds by putting his
trunk in his mouth and shaking
it while exhaling similar to the
way people whistle with their
fngers. Park workers said its
unclear whether Kosik knows
the meaning of the sounds he
makes. Kim Jong-gap, who has
been Kosiks keeper for 10 years,
said he frst heard the elephant

The KU organization Alternative
Breaks regularly sends involved stu-
dents to places in Lawrence, outside
of Lawrence and often out of Kansas
to complete unique service work.
Ashley Bloom, Hutchinson junior,
and Katie Jahnke, Shawnee junior, are
co-directors of Alternative Breaks.
They describe the 11-year-old pro-
gram as a service learning organi-
zation dedicated to giving students
hands-on opportunities with service
work.
Alternative Breaks is easy to
find time for because its split into
three time frames of service work:
Weekend Breaks, Winter Breaks and
Spring Breaks.
Weekend Breaks take four trips
each semester, usually one per
month, to locations only in Lawrence,
Manhattan or Topeka. Approximately
40 students each semester participate
in Weekend Breaks. Food, lodging
and gas are covered by a $10 fee. The
fee is reduced to $5 after a student has
participated in a previous Weekend
Break. Service locations for Weekend
Breaks are in places like The Salvation
Army and The Ronald McDonald
House.
About 50 students go on a Winter
Break each year, which is from
January 6 to 13 this school year. A
student participating in a Winter
Break must pay $225, which covers
all necessities.
About 70 students each year par-
ticipate in a Spring Break. This years
Spring Break will be playing host
to 10 sites. The cost for attending a
Spring Break is also $225.
All students who are interested
must apply ahead of time and be
interviewed before being accepted.
The application deadline for
Winter Breaks is today at 5 p.m.
while the deadline for Spring Breaks
is Dec. 2. Weekend Breaks offers
many trips with varying deadlines,
with the next being on Sept. 29
for a trip to the Meadowlark Hills
Retirement Center in Manhattan
this Oct. 6 and 7.
Information and applications can
be found on the Alternative Breaks
website at www.ku.edu/~albreaks, or

Livestock producers to get
less aid than expected
HUTCHINSON An error by a
doofus at the U.S. Department
of Agriculture means livestock
producers in Kansas, Wyoming and
Arizona will get far less emergency
drought aid than they expected,
Sen. Pat Roberts told farmers Satur-
day at the Kansas State Fair.
Kansas producers had been in
line for $4.2 million from an $800
million drought assistance package
announced Aug. 29 by federal Ag-
riculture Secretary Mike Johanns,
said Roberts, R-Kan.
But the Kansas share will actu-
ally be closer to $900,000, Roberts
said.
Shell Oil Co. president
draws attention to U.S. oil
MANHATTAN There are still

them, the president of Shell Oil
Co. told a Kansas State University
audience.
John Hofmeister, a 1969 gradu-
ate of Kansas State, spoke Friday
as part of the universitys Landon
Lecture series.
Hofmeister said the United
States is especially rich in natural
energy resources.
However, he said, reaching
those resources can be politically
controversial because it would
involve drilling ofshore or in
wildlife refuges and other federally
protected areas.

CBS caused quite a stir in North
Lawrence on Saturday to promote its
new drama Jericho.
The show depicts the aftermath
of a nuclear attack and takes place
in the fictional western Kansas town
named Jericho.
Several network representatives,
including the shows star Skeet
Ulrich, were in attendance. Kansas
Governor Kathleen
Sebelius came from
Topeka for the pro-
motional event to
publicize the show.
The event included
the unveiling of crop
artist Stan Herds
depiction of a critical
scene in the shows
first episode of a boy standing on the
roof of a barn gazing at a mushroom
cloud in the distance. The design
covers 20 acres in a sweet corn field
at Bismarck Gardens, 1616 N. 1700
Road.
The meticulous Herd, who has
created his crop art throughout the
world, said he wasnt impressed with
his work, but considering the dif-
ficulty of the project, it turned out
okay.
I think people will get a kick out
of it, he said.
The show was premiered in front
of the Lawrence Visitors Center
Saturday and was followed by a per-
formance from local musician Kelly
Hunt.
The show will premiere on CBS
on Sept. 20. Gov. Sebelius proclaimed
that day Jericho Day across Kansas.
Anne OGrady, CBS senior vice
president of marketing, said an
attempt was made to do some-
thing different for the premiere of
Jericho.
We try to do things that are
unique, not run of
the mill, she said.
This is one of the
more unique events
we have this year.
Gov. Sebelius was
excited that the focus
was on Kansas and
excited to see it rep-
resented on TV.
It makes people think about the
heartland, she said.
The governor said during her
proclamation that she would be
looking forward to the second year
of Jericho being filmed in Kansas,
a proposition that Ulrich later
answered.
Thats a deal only if youre in it,
Ulrich said to the governor.
Ulrich plays Jake Green, who
returns home to Jericho in the first
episode before the nuclear explo-
sion. He described his character as
a wanderer who has nowhere left to
go and must come to terms with the
chaotic situation.
He said the shows premise was
interesting to him.
Pat Ross, whose land at Bismarck
Gardens was used for the crop art,
said he and his wife were hesitant
about letting their land be used as
a canvas, saying that they didnt
exactly jump into it.
They agreed to let their land be
used if it helps Lawrence.

A 19-year-old KU student was
arrested early Thursday morning on
charges of operating a vehicle under
the influence and for leaving the
scene of an accident.
The arrest was made in connec-
tion with an incident in which several
vehicles were allegedly struck on or
near campus.
Lawrence police arrested Jared
Hodgson, Overland Park sophomore,
at his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, 1602
W. 15th St. Witnesses said Hodgson
drove his Jeep to his fraternity and
did not immediately come out to
speak to police.
Lawrence police officers noted
damage to the suspects vehicle in
their report. Witnesses confirmed
that they had noticed damage to the
vehicle as well.
Officers were not permitted to
enter the fraternity, but waited an
hour for Hodgson to came out, wit-
nesses said. After speaking to police,
he was arrested.
Witnesses and police reports laid
out the alleged accidents this way:
Lawrence police received calls
referring to a vehicle that allegedly
struck five other vehicles in the area
near the 1600 block of Edge Hill
Road. The vehicle drove off after
striking the cars.
KU Public Safety officers respond-
ed to a call from Terrence Oben,
Lawrence senior, who said a vehicle
had nearly struck him on Naismith
Drive.
Oben was returning home early
Thursday after working in a KU com-
puter lab. He was driving southbound
on Naismith Drive when he said he
saw a vehicle coming straight at him
in the wrong lane. The vehicle didnt
stop at a stop sign, barely missed
Obens vehicle, and continued driving
northbound on Naismith, he said.
Oben turned around to follow the
vehicle and later called the KU Public
Safety office. He said he followed the
vehicle to Phi Kappa Psi.
Oben exited his car, approached
the vehicle and opened the door. The
driver did not immediately get out.
Oben and another witness said the
driver offered him money to not call
police.
Oben said he was somewhat shak-
en up by the incident.
Hodgson was released from
Douglas County jail Thursday on
$1,000 bond. He is scheduled to make
a court appearance later this month.

Beer and music make a nice com-
bination. At least they did for many
Lawrence beer enthusiasts this past
weekend.
The second annual Brewgrass
festival, a microbrewery and music
festival, was held at Burcham Park,
Second and Indiana streets, on Friday
and Saturday. Seven microbreweries
were on hand, and 29 bands per-
formed for residents, KU students
and visitors to Lawrence.
The band WAR headlined on
Friday night and Keller Williams
was the main attraction on
Saturday. Local microbreweries
Free State Brewing Company, 636
Massachusetts St., and 75th Street
Brewery, 3512 Clinton Pkwy., rep-
resented Lawrence. Boulevard and
McCoys were on hand from Kansas
City, Mo. Blind Tiger from Topeka,
Flying Monkey from Merriam and
Power Plant Brewery from Parkville,
Mo., were in attendance.
The festival was the brainchild
of organizer Jessie Jackson and
his friends Jeff Fortier and Micah
Weichert, head brewer at 75th Street
Brewery. Weichert thought Lawrence
needed a microbrewery festival.
Jackson, a musician and promoter,
added the musical aspect.
Im not a big beer drinker, but I
appreciate microbreweries, Jackson
said. The brewers are so passionate.
To me thats awesome.
Brewing beer is more than
a job, its a labor of love, and he
doesnt make much money doing it,
Weichert said.
Making beer is an art form,
Weichert said. Its about blood,
sweat and tears.
Weichert announced Friday night
that 75th Street Brewery would be
separating from its parent company,
KC Hopps, located in Kansas City.
The brewery will change its name
to the 23rd Street Brewery. Weichert
said that many of the beer recipes
were already different than the 75th
Street Brewery in Kansas City and
may change some more.
Jim Lyons, Boulevard district
manager for the state of Kansas, said
the festival wasnt as much about
publicity or exposure for Boulevard,
but about being involved in the com-
munity.
We do a tremendous amount
of events in Kansas City, he said.
We try to be involved with as many
events as possible.
Blind Tiger microbrewer John
Dean said he liked to educate people
about beer.
We love talking beer, talking to
people about beer and spreading the
beer gospel, he said.
Lisa Kennedy, Kansas City,
Mo., senior, and Josette Berryhill,
Circleville senior, won free tickets to
the festival from Lawrence.com.
We came for the beer, Kennedy
said.
Jackson said he never considered
having the festival anywhere else.
This is a microbrew drinking
town.

UP, UP AND AWAY; BALLOONS
COLOR TOPEKA SKY AT RALLY
Huf n Puf event takes place over Lake Shawnee
By Darla slipke
The 31st annual Huff n Puff
hot air balloon rally attracted
hundreds of eager families,
pilots and friends to witness
and celebrate a balloon-filled,
kaleidoscopic sky over Lake
Shawnee in Topeka this past
weekend.
Dozens of balloons were
launched during the designat-
ed one-hour launch windows
in the mornings and evenings.
On Friday and Saturday night,
pilots tethered their balloons
and created a glowing effect
as darkness fell by repeatedly
firing the burners of their bal-
loons.
All through the field,
onlookers cheered and waved
as balloons climbed into the
sky and slowly shrank against
the horizon.
A crowd of people circled
around the checkered, multi-
colored balloon Dreamtime
and watched as the pilot and
crew filled it with two tons of
air. A handful of people peered
up inside the balloon, which
was as tall as a seven-story
building. They jumped and
shrieked when the pilot fired
up the balloon, and a ten-foot
tall flame blasted out of the
burner.
Danielle Mills was a mem-
ber of Dreamtimes crew.
She has been involved since
she was young and came back
from school at William Jewell
last weekend to help with the
Topeka rally.
This is like Christmas for
me and my family, she said.
Mills wasnt the only veter-
an. Stevan and Gretchen Ryan
of Olathe have been ballooning
for 28 years and have made it
back to Topeka for the event
every year, even when they
lived in Dallas.
The best part is all the
friends weve met, Stevan Ryan
said. His wife agreed.
She and her friend Marsha
Mechtley sat on the tailgate of
her truck knitting a baby blan-
ket that was spread between
them. The two met 25 years
ago when Mechtley and her
husband Ken decided to spon-
sor an air balloon, and have
been friends ever since.
Mechtley said her favor-
ite flight experience with the
Ryans was flying over a field
of sunflowers in the morning
when they were opened and
facing the rising sun, and then
floating over them again in the
early evening when they faced
west.
Ryan said his flights usually
last 45 minutes to an hour and
he typically travels six to 10
miles.
Mechtley said people often
asked them where theyre going
to land, but there is no way to
tell for sure. Ryan said thats
part of the excitement.
We dont know, he said.
Its wherever the wind takes
us.

KU Army ROTC
performs raid
family wEEkEnd
By nate Mcginnis
The sound of a helicopter sliced
through the air. A voice squawked
loudly through the radio. Suddenly,
a rope dropped and eight men in
camouflage repelled from the air.
They formed a tight grouping and
slowly crept towards a door. They
paused slightly before they kicked-
in the door and tossed a dummy
grenade. After a loud pop, the unit
rushed in. The only sound was the
screaming of orders to soldiers.
A few seconds passed and a soldier
escorted a little girl costumed in a
burqa, an all-covering dress worn by
some Muslim women, out the door
to safety. More time and screaming
passed, and soldiers escorted a male
insurgent outside of the room. The
soldiers checked the mans pockets
for weapons and equipment, before
they arrested and led him away.
This raid could have happened
several thousand miles away in Iraq,
but took place inside the Military
Science Building at the University
of Kansas.
The scenario was a demonstra-
tion of a military operation on urban
terrain, or MOUT, and was executed
in front of an audience of friends and
family for KU Army ROTCs family
day Saturday.
Lt. Col. William Maxcy, battalion
commander for KU Army ROTC,
said family day was an opportunity
for families to learn about what their
childs life in the military would be
like.
Maxcy briefly addressed the
assembled audience and highlighted
the increase of ROTC involvement
at the University. Maxcy said two
years ago the program had 62 cadets
enrolled. That number is now up
to 92.
Dan Flynn, St. Louis junior, said
he had wanted to be in the Army
since third or fourth grade. He was
able to get a scholarship to attend
the University when he enrolled in
Army ROTC.
It was the best decision I have
ever made, Dan said.
Kevin Flynn, father of Dan, said
he thought his sons decision was
unique in part because he himself
had never served in the military.
Most people dont have the abil-
ity or desire to serve their country,
Kevin said.
Not every cadet in KU ROTC
is a KU student. The program has
partnerships to accept students from
other schools including Washburn
University, Mid-America Nazarene
University and Baker University for
training.
Tyler Abel is a junior at Washburn
University and participates in Army
ROTC through the partnership pro-

For Tyler, military service is a
family affair. Tylers father is also
in the Army and currently serves
in Iraq.
Cathy Abel, Tylers mother, said
at first she was surprised by Tylers
decision to join ROTC, particularly
because he had spent so much of his
life around the Army.
Tyler said he hadnt thought much
about joining ROTC until his fresh-
men year of college. He was won-
dering what to do with his life, and
thought about the moments when he
was happiest. It was then he realized
what he wanted to do.
The Army is where my heart
lied, Tyler said, Theres always that
feeling of togetherness.

Haskell
Artists convey culture to community
Traditional dances, art work displayed at annual Native-American art show
By Darla slipke
At the 18th annual Haskell Indian
art market, large white canopies cov-
ered the powwow grounds where
nearly 200 Native American artists
from across the country gathered to
sell their work.
Hundreds of people congregated
under the tents at the outdoor mar-
ket to view or purchase the works of
art that celebrated Native American
customs and cultures.
Several Haskell students also
shared their culture with the public
by performing traditional dances.
The rattling of several hun-
dred jingle cones accompanied the
pounding drum and the wail of men
as Kylene Denny stepped into the
circle. Wearing a dress laden with
elaborate bead work and coated with
conical adornments fashioned from
chewing tobacco lids, she performed
the jingle dance. The dance origi-
nated when a medicine man, who
was unable to cure a girl in his tribe,
received a vision telling him to have
her perform the healing dance.
Rebecca Jamison, Haskell junior,
also danced. She and Denny said
they thought of the good things in
their lives when they dance.
In addition to the performances
the market showcased art work that
reflected a respect for life, nature
and animals, and included pottery,
paintings, woodwork, clothing and
jewelry.
The Haskell volleyball team and
other student groups also partici-
pated in the event by helping out.
Don Cardinal, co-chairman for the
event, said the market was a way to
showcase the university and bring
many different artists together.
The artists work was inspired by
the traditions of their ancestors that
were passed down to them through
the generations.
Inez Toya learned the art of mak-
ing pottery when she was just a girl
from her grandmother.
She gave me a little mud and
asked me to start forming it, Toya
said.
Toya began selling her work when
she retired from her job at a nursing
home. Like her grandmother taught
her, Toya used pumpkin gourds to
mold her clay. She collected special
black rocks from the mountains near
her home in New Mexico, which
she mixed with seed weed to make
black paint, and soaked orange clay
for three days before straining it to
get red paint. She used individual
strands from a yucca plant to paint
intricate designs on her vases and
bowls. Her designs included hum-
mingbirds, which symbolize love
and beauty and turtle shells, which
symbolize long life. She also uses
arrowheads in her designs.
Painter Lynn Burnette was also
inspired by a grandparent. His paint-
ings tell the stories his grandfather
told to him as a boy. One painting,
Taking Away Their Power, showed
two Indians carrying the American
flag. Burnettes grandfather told him
that Indians use to carry the flag
away when they defeated an army.
Like many of the artists, Burnette
makes a living traveling to markets
to sell his work, although he said its
tough sometimes.
Rose Reano said it is important
to make unique work. She makes
jewelry and mosaics in a prehistoric
style the way the Hohokam Indians
did, using sea shells for a base, and
geometric designs. She learned to
make jewelry from her parents, who
used to make necklaces using melted
down batteries and vinyl records.

Despite rain, arts and crafs shine at annual festival
By Ben smith
Despite some early rain, the 27th
annual Lawrence fall arts and crafts
festival began Sunday at 10 a.m. in
South Park, 11th and Massachusetts
streets, offering interesting artifacts
from area and regional artists.
The fair featured glassblowers,
woodworkers, photographers, hat
makers, jewelers, basket-weavers
and many more artisans. Children
enjoyed moon walks, a train, craft
booths and many other activities as
parents walked in and out of tents,
studying the various works.
Maggie Garman of Princeton
makes Pysanky Ukrainian Easter
Eggs, which are decorated in fine
detail. She said she had been com-
ing to the festival for about 10 years
because it was one of the more prof-
itable shows for her.
Garman said that she liked the
festival because it was close and trav-
eling far for her has become a hassle
because of the price of transporting
and setting up her booth.
You just have to take off and try
out a few shows and if they prove to
be pointless then you just dont go
back, Garman said.
Duane Peterson, special events
supervisor and organizer of the fair
through the Lawrence Parks and
Recreation Department, said that
the number of vendors was down
this year. Last year, he said that
about 220 vendors attended but that
it had decreased this year to just
under 160.
Nonetheless, Peterson said the
fair season was a national event.
We sometimes get people from
as far away as California, Texas and
New Mexico, Peterson said.
Lawrence residents shuffled along
eating roasted nuts out of paper fun-
nels, drinking lemonade and chat-
ting up the many characters the fair
had brought from near and far, while
musicians such as the Billy Spears
Beer Bellies and Lonnie Rays Blues
Band played in the William Kelly
bandstand throughout the after-
noon.
Andrea Huff and her husband,
John, brought their scented soy can-
dles from Missouri to participate
for the first time in the Festival. The
Huffs said a lot of people came to
their booth.
Sherri A. Haupert, Kansas City,
Mo., photographer, said that crafts
fairs were excellent places to meet
people, even though she said she
disliked being at the mercy of the
elements.
At one fair I was at, I had a half
dozen people in my tent trying to
keep dry, said Haupert as she wiped
away stray droplets on her display
table. Still, its good to get out and
let people see your stuff.

tion information and activities

More than $1 million raised to help cancer patients
By AnnA FAltermeier
In its most successful money-
making year to date, Treads and
Threads, an annual benefit for the
University of Kansas Medical Center,
earned more than $1 million, only
$300,000 less than the events past
four years combined.
Proceeds from Treads and
Threads will go to the hospitals
Cancer Center. This years event cel-
ebrated the 100th anniversary of the
hospital.
Country singer LeAnn Rimes
headlined the sold out event Saturday
night at the Kansas Speedway, locat-
ed in Kansas City, Kan.
KMBC-TV anchor Larry Moore
emceed the event. Moore, a cancer
survivor, has emceed Treads and
Threads since its first year in 2002.
Every dollar that we raise here
helps to reduce the chance of cancer
and helps to increase the likelihood
of survival, Moore said.
About 15 years ago Moore under-
went treatment for non-Hodgkins
lymphoma, a form of cancer, at the
University of Kansas Hospital.
When you go through a chal-
lenge like that its a challenge that
you cant really describe, Moore
said. Its a life-changing challenge
and once you survive there really is
an obligation to give back.
The event was catered by 23
Kansas City metro area restaurants.
Besides performances from Rimes
and the Chicagos Bill Pollack Group,
a fireworks display and rides around
the track were part of the nights
entertainment.
Single passes for the event were
$175. Patron passes were $275 each.
Alicia Reed volunteered to work
at Treads and Threads with her hus-
band and sister this year. Reed said
she has several family members who
have suffered from cancer.
Everybody either knows some-
body or is related to somebody
who has cancer; its so pervasive in
modern society, Reed said. I think
research is the way to go.
The money raised at the event
will benefit the Midwest Prostate
Center, in Chicago, Ill., expand the
Patient Resource Center in KUs
Cancer Center and go toward educa-
tional training for cancer care team
members.

HAYS Dozens of swift foxes
have been rounded up in west-
ern Kansas for relocation to South
Dakota, where an Indian tribe wants
to reintroduce the little canines on
its reservation.
Native to Plains grasslands, the
swift fox small and speedy, aver-
aging less than 10 pounds disap-
peared over the decades from entire
swaths of North American habitat,
including the 221,000-acre reserva-
tion of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe
in central South Dakota.
We dont have any foxes on the
reservation, said biologist Shaun
Grassel, who led the tribes team.
About two-thirds of South Dakota is
the animals historic range, Grassel
added, but for a variety of reasons,
they pretty much went extinct.
Setting up camp Sept. 1 at Scott
State Park in Logan County, the
team spent several days trapping 20
male and 20 female swift foxes. Once
caught, each animal is vaccinated
and has a blood sample drawn.
The tribes effort is the third
in South Dakota. The Turner
Endangered Species Fund and the
Badlands National Park are also
working to reintroduce the fox.
Were all independent, Grassel
said, but were all working together.
Were all doing things simultane-
ously.
The tribes project has been in
the works since 2004, when Grassel
first looked at the feasibility of the
effort. Thats when he made contact
with other states, including Kansas,
that have surplus populations of the
swift fox.
Before he could start trapping,
Grassel needed a permit from the
Kansas Department of Wildlife and
Parks. He had nothing but positive
words for the agency and for the
state, which like South Dakota
is a member of the Swift Fox
Conservation Team.
Kansas has been wonderful to
work with, Grassel said. They
didnt require any other wildlife spe-
cies in return.
This years expedition was the
first of what Grassel expects will be
several trapping trips.
Candidates meet Saturday for their first debate, disagree on school finance
By roXAnA heGemAn
AssociAted press
HUTCHINSON Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius and Republican challenger
Jim Barnett drew starkly different
pictures of the Kansas economy
Saturday in their first debate ahead
of Novembers election.
Sharing a stage at the Kansas State
Fair, the Democratic incumbent and
the GOP state senator from Emporia
also clashed on school finance, and
traded some personal barbs.
Supporters of Sebelius outnum-
bered Barnetts backers in an audi-
ence of more than 2,000, with the
governors crowd chanting four
more years and drowning out
Barnett with boos at times.
Also on hand were two abortion
opponents in cockroach costumes
and Sebelius masks pretending to be
the governors campaign mascot. The
display was meant to bring attention
to allegedly unsanitary conditions at
abortion clinics a connection few
in the crowd seemed to understand.
You have to ask yourself: Are we
better off today than we were four
years ago? Sebelius, elected to her
first term in 2002, told the audience.
Our economy was struggling,
she added. We had a billion-dol-
lar deficit. Our schools had been
neglected for years by the Legislature.
And our health and safety concerns
had been overlooked.
She said Kansas now has a robust
economy, and she credited a top-
to-bottom review of government
spending that she ordered in 2003
for helping the state avoid a tax
increase. She also took credit for
bringing legislators together to make
a commitment to public schools.
We are on the path of a real
economic boom in Kansas, Sebelius
said. And that shows up with the
U.S. Department of Commerce say-
ing we are moving ahead of the
nation, we are moving ahead of
neighboring states.
Barnett disagreed, repeatedly
asserting the Kansas economy was
not doing as well as neighboring
states or the nation in general. He
said Kansas should have better-pay-
ing jobs.
Why is our economy lagging
behind? Why havent we not been
keeping up? The number one issue
business will tell you is the high taxa-
tion state we live in, Barnett said.
He vowed if elected to abolish
estate taxes, give businesses a 10
percent investment tax credit and
boost the income tax exemption for
dependents by $500.
Sebelius responded that Kansas
already will be phasing out its estate
tax over the next three years. And she
noted a state law enacted this year
eliminating inventory taxes on new
business equipment and machinery
that will spur greater investment by
the states businesses.
At one point in the debate, Barnett
called the governors recent trip to
the U.S.-Mexican border a photo-op.
Kansas National Guard troops had
been sent there to help build a fence
and patrol the border.
Sebelius shot back that Barnett
did not understand the governors
role as commander.
School financing also proved
a contentious topic. Legislators,
responding to a Kansas Supreme
Court ruling in a lawsuit brought
by several school districts, approved
a large increase this year in state
funding.
Barnett said he would deal dif-
ferently with the court, which is
appropriating money, and it has no
business appropriating money. He
also said he would work to change
the way Supreme Court justices are
selected, so they would better reflect
what he called Kansas values.
But Sebelius said the state has
made a commitment to its school
children, and it cannot back off.

Wildlife
Tribe tries to save endangered fox species
By tom rAUm
AssociAted press
WASHINGTON Vice
President Dick Cheney on Sunday
defended his lightning-rod role as
a leading advocate for invading
Iraq, for a warrantless surveillance
program and for harsh treatment
of suspected terrorists.
Part of my job is to think about
the unthinkable, to focus what in
fact the terrorists may have in store
for us, Cheney told NBCs Meet
the Press when asked about his
dark side.
Cheney said he now recognizes
that the insurgency in Iraq was not
in its last throes, as he said in May
2005. I think there is no question
that we did
not anticipate
an insurgency
that would last
this long, the
vice president
said.
Its still
d i f f i c u l t .
Ob v i o u s l y,
major, major
work to do is
ahead of us.
But the fact is,
the world is better off today with
Saddam Hussein out of power.
Think where wed be if he was still
there, Cheney said.
Cheney shrugged off news
reports that his influence was
waning, partly as a result of for-
eign policy miscalculations and
partly as other advisers, especially
Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, were getting more attention
from President Bush.
The vice president said the
reports were about as valid as the
ones that said I was in charge of
everything.
Rice told Fox News Sunday
that these stories float around
Washington whos up, whos
down. The vice president remains
a crucial adviser to the president.
His role is different than my role.
... These stories are simply ridicu-
lous.
Cheney challenged polls sug-
gesting that a majority of people in
the United States do not believe the
Bush administrations claim that
the war in Iraq is the central front
in the fight against terrorism.
I think weve done a pretty
good job of securing the nation
against terrorists. You know, were
here on the fifth anniversary (of
the 9/11 attacks). And there has
not been another attack on the
United States. And thats not an
accident, because weve done a hell
of a job here at home, Cheney said
in the broadcast interview. I dont
know how much better you can
do than no, no attacks for the past
five years.
He said the U.S. had done a
good job on homeland security, in
terms of the terrorist surveillance
program we put in place, the finan-
cial tracking we put in place, and
because of our detainee policy.
Cheney disputed that he ever
directly said Saddam had any role
in the Sept. 11 attacks.
He defended his past state-
ments both on links between Iraq
and the al-Qaida network, and on
the existence of weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, saying the pro-
nouncements
were based
on the best
i nt el l i ge nc e
he had at the
time. No such
weapons were
found, nor
is there clear
evidence of
links between
Saddams gov-
ernment and
Osama bin Ladens organization.
Cheney cited various statements
by former CIA Director George
Tenet, both on Iraqi links to al-
Qaida and weapons programs,
including Tenets often-quoted
comment to Bush that it was a
slam dunk that Iraq had such
weapons.
The vice president was asked on
NBC whether there were more ter-
rorists in the world now than there
were before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Its hard to say. Hard to put
a precise number on it, Cheney
said.
Asked whether the U.S. still
would have invaded Iraq had the
CIA told Bush and him that Iraq
had no weapons of mass destruc-
tion in 2003, Cheney answered yes.
He said Iraq had the capability of
obtaining such weapons and would
have done so once U.N. penalties
were eased. Democrats pounced.
Vice President Cheneys influ-
ence over our nations foreign pol-
icy has made America less safe,
said Senate Minority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev. Vice President
Cheneys appearance today proves
that he just doesnt get it.
Host Tim Russert asked Cheney
whether he should be relieved that
the vice president did not show up
for the interview with a shotgun.
I wouldnt worry about it.
Youre not in season, Cheney said.
I think there is no question
that we did not anticipate an
insurgency that would last this
long.

The University Daily Kansan emphasizes the First Amendment:
Not only is the United States
second-best in basketball these
days, we have fallen in the
ranks of higher education. The
National Center for Public Policy
and Higher Educations report
released last week shows a decline
in the number of young adults
receiving college degrees, with
the United States lagging behind
other developed countries.
The United States ranked 16th
out of 27 countries in graduat-
ing those between the ages of
18 to 24, according to the study.
This is a dismal number with all
the resources this country can
provide.
With increases in tuition and
the endless debt that engulfs
students, its no wonder fewer
students are taking the college
path.
The report also graded the
50 states, and Kansas received
a failing grade in the area of
affordability. This comes during
the Universitys five-year plan to
more than double tuition rates.
In-state students taking 15
credit hours pay $4,824 a year
while out-of-state students pay
more than double that amount at
$13,098. That price tag does not
include the astronomical cost for
textbooks, along with the cost of
living.
The report noted that on aver-
age, one year at a public four-year
university would cost a students
family 31 percent of its income.
In states that performed well,
college completion numbers
were still subpar. Less than 70
percent of students at four-year
institutions finished a bachelors
degree within six years.
More than four years for
an undergraduate degree has
become the norm, even if the
University has pledged to curb
the number of students exceed-
ing the four-year mark.
A study by the National Center
for Education Statistics indicates
that nearly half of recent college
graduates have accumulated stu-
dent loans, with an average stu-
dent loan debt of $10,000. This
explains why students are just
as focused on finding a part-
or full-time job as they are on
their studies. For a number of
students, taking the necessary 15
hours a semester to graduate in
four years just isnt an option.
This trend could lead to the
start of a generation of undered-
ucated people. The United States
and the state of Kansas should
quit failing their students.
Louis Mora for the editorial
board
On this day five years ago,
everybody knew what was happen-
ing would affect the world forever.
Five years later, I think we tend to
remember the events of September
11 more than we remember the les-
sons we learned from it.
Im going to venture a guess
that most people at the University
of Kansas werent touched directly
by the attacks, and that like most
Midwesterners we saw their effects
mostly through the way people
acted. All of a sudden people were
nice. They smiled at random strang-
ers on the street, said hi to people
when they passed them. Church
attendance shot up, and people
spent more quality time with their
families.
My question is this: Why do
we need a huge disaster to remind
us how important people are? We
should be trying every day to make
meaningful connections with fam-
ily, friends, roommates, co-workers
and professors. Im not saying that
everybody should like everybody
else, nor am I promoting universal
hippie love.
Im just asking you to think
about how many times youve
walked down Jayhawk Boulevard
with your iPod on, your head down
and not looked at a single person on
the way to class. How many times
have you ducked out of your dorm/
apartment quickly so you didnt
have to say anything to your room-
mate? Were all guilty of it.
As we all do our duty as
Americans today by reflecting,
include in your Sept. 11 musings
a thought or two about how you
could connect better with those
around you. Do you actually know
the name of the person you always
sit near in your econ class? Try talk-
ing with the person. Do you always
walk straight past the guy mopping
up the nasty floor in your residence
hall? Ask him how his days going.
Those little things make a big
difference in other peoples lives as
well as yours. Dont take people for
granted. Go out there and make
someone smile today.

Sex sells and it seems that
The Kansan has fully embraced this
successful marketing concept. The
fact that my column starts with the
word sex will most likely draw
more readers.
Friday, an ad ran in The Kansan
that pictured the buns and (rather
attractive) legs of a young woman.
Nothing but a skimpy laced bikini
covered her. The ad promoted The
Kansan feature Sex on the Hill
and the slogan read, We Mount
Oread. (Ha. Clever!)
Although the ad was rather cre-
ative and well designed, it made my
heart sink.
The Kansan is the student voice
of KU. Although the first amend-
ment protects its right to write
about (and picture) such vulgari-
ties, it makes me wonder why The
Kansan chooses to do so.
The message that the paper is
sending is that the degradation of
our bodies is normal and accept-
able. The womans face in this ad
was cropped out. Much of her true
beauty was hidden. This ad and
feature promote premarital sex as a
pleasurable game that has no seri-
ous consequence.
Our University and our culture
have come to believe that sexual
indulgence is a right. At the same
time, however, we wonder why
rape, molestation, abortion, STDs,
divorce, pedophilia, adultery and
poor self-image are so prevalent.
Some even go as far as to say
that suppression of sexual desires is
unhealthy. Yet, if that is true, what
separates us from animals who
have unrestrained sexual license?
Our ability to suppress pleasure for
a later, more beneficial pleasure is
what makes us human.
Our human dignity is compro-
mised each time a message appears
that suggests sexual promiscuity.
The woman in that ad deserves
more respect than the ad gives her.
In praise of The Kansan, Sex
on the Hill always includes a story
about chastity or premarital purity. I
look forward to reading that article
each year.
If the paper keeps promoting dis-
tasteful sexual advertising, it helps
condition our community to see
each other solely in terms of physi-
cal qualities. However, if the paper
would choose not to promote sex
so vigorously, we could create an
atmosphere of self-respect and true
sexual joy.

For those of you who are not
users of Facebook, the following
will likely not be of much interest to
you. For everyone else, I think we
have something in common.
We hate the new Facebook.
On Sept. 5 Facebook introduced
two new features to its Web site:
News Feed and Mini-Feed. News
Feed displays on your home page,
the page you are taken to immedi-
ately after logging in. Among the
things described on the News Feed
are new friend requests, new group
invitations, recent photo tags, and
the like. This is essentially a more
streamlined version of Facebooks
previous notification system and
a novel (and fairly well-designed)
improvement.
Mini-Feed is a different story.
Mini-Feed shows up on your
Facebook profile and displays your
most recent Facebook actions to
anyone who views your profile.
Information displayed here includes
notes that youve left, photos youve
been tagged in, your new friend
requests, any changes to your profile
and the like.
Although much of this informa-
tion was visible before, it has never
been consolidated in a single loca-
tion. Profiles only displayed last
updated information, not pointing
out which information had been
changed. Friends were viewable
by network, but it was not before
possible to track friend updates.
Now, everything you do or change
is catalogued and displayed for any-
one to see.
In short, Facebook has become
Stalker Central.
Weve all done it: read someones
profile multiple times in one day,
gone through someones entire
photo album, read someones entire
wall, or gone through someones
list of friends. Wed joke about
Facebook Stalking and obsessive
addiction to Facebook.
We were harmless.
The introduction of Mini-Feed
introduces a very shady, very dan-
gerous aspect to the Facebook com-
munity. Where we once had safety
we now have doubt. Who is reading
our profile? Who is paying a little
too much attention to what weve
been saying, doing or changing?
In short, Facebook has made a
grave and unsettling mistake.
The outlash speaks for itself. In
the space of a few days, massive
online groups, petitions, and other
forms of community action have
spread like wildfire. My own sta-
tus reads Craig is hating the new
Facebook. People I never speak to
write on my wall just to agree with
me.
When notified by Matt
Newsome, senior at American
University in Washington, D.C.,
that the new Mini-Feed feature
was not being well-received by his
peers, Facebook issued an official
response. Although the company
understands that some people are
unhappy or concerned about the
recent changes to Facebook, the
letter reinforces the companys deci-
sion by describing the Mini-Feed as
a way to make it easier than ever
before to see interesting, relevant
pieces of information from the
world around you.
Unfortunately, having all this
relevant information available at
a mouse-click means that anyone
can easily track your activity on the
Web site.
In short, the issue boils down to
this: There are little tiny xs that
can make this feature moot. No one
is making you use Facebook or per-
form actions that are routinely cata-
logued. Laziness or the otherwise
unwillingness to circumnavigate
this new feature could potentially
increase the chance for unwanted
data to be distributed to your peers
but anyone who is actually
Facebook-stalking you is probably
going to do so regardless of whether
you make it easy or difficult.
Im disappointed in the new
Facebook (in fact, I hate it) but
I realize that I have and have
always had the ability to control
my own exposure on this Web
site. When this right disappears,
Facebook will have gone a step too
far.
But in this case, I find it safe
(though perhaps also regrettable)
to say that Facebook has merely
made a mistake in reading its users
expectations. There is no constitu-
tionally-granted right to Ultimate
Facebook Privacy.
Facebook may not have broken
any laws, but it has broken our
trust. Shame on you, Facebook.
Shame on you.

University of Kansas graduate
Matt Toplikar isnt sure if he believes
the conspiracy theories surround-
ing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but
hes passionate about challenging
the governments official story.
Toplikar worked for weeks with
friend Tim Hjersted to bring the
controversial documentary Loose
Change to Lawrence. The con-
spiracy film will be screened at
7 p.m. today at Liberty Hall, 643
Massachusetts St., on the fifth anni-
versary of the attacks on the World
Trade Center. Admission is $2.
Loose Change was originally
created by three 20-something men
on a Compaq Presario laptop with
Adobe video editing software. The
film uses news footage, declassi-
fied documents from decades past
and open-ended questions to try to
debunk the governments version of
Sept. 11.
Movies are good about certain
things, but even from our own
research we think it might have got-
ten some things wrong, Toplikar
said.
Filmmakers Jason Bermas, Korey
Rowe and Dylan Avery finished the
second edition of the film this year
after Avery did much of the work
on the original version, which cost
only $2,000 to produce. The second
version, which will be shown in
Lawrence, cost $6,000.
USA Today attacked the film, but
Vanity Fair magazine promoted it.
The three filmmakers were in New
York this weekend to promote their
work and the pending third ver-
sion, Loose Change: Final Edition,
which will arrive before the end of
the year.
Averys first idea was a short
story about him and his friends dis-
covering that the government had
covered up its role in instigating
the terrorist attacks. He found that
his research seemed to point to the
story actually being true.
Bermas, one of the films produc-
ers, saw the same vision of Sept. 11
that Avery did, though Avery and
Rowe did not meet Bermas until
they had already partially finished
the first version of the documen-
tary.
For the film to be successful, we
really need a college movement,
Bermas said.
Bridget Franklin, a KU student
activist, said she hoped the film
didnt try too hard to take sides.
I believe we could have done
more to predict that Sept. 11 was
going to happen, said Franklin,
Topeka senior. I think we were just
too busy neglecting whats going on
in other parts of the world.
The showing has been promoted
by Tribal Vision, an activist group
in Lawrence, and by 911Truth.org,
a sprawling consortium of chal-
lengers to the governments story of
Sept. 11s events.
Janice Matthews, executive direc-
tor of 911Truths steering commit-
tee, is also a KU graduate. She said
that though her organization wasnt
directly overseeing the screening
of Loose Change in Lawrence,
she was thrilled to see students re-
examining the events of Sept. 11.
Im just so angry, Matthews
said. We cant live in a country
where people cant ask questions.

Even though they each stand
more than 10 feet tall, its hard to
notice the two steel beams from the
World Trade Center towers because
of an impressive American flag
stained glass window drawing the
viewers attention away.
The flag and columns will set
the backdrop for the traveling
Associated Press photo exhibit
9/11 Five Years Later, which has
been on display for two weeks at the
Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
The last day to view the display is
Sept. 12.
The exhibit features photographs
taken of the World Trade Center on
the day of the attack and at the same
site in June 2006.
Its chilling, Jean Bischoff,
senior archivist at the Dole Institute,
said. To me, the most interesting
thing is how all the photographers
responded as humans.
A video telling the story of what
it was like for the AP photogra-
phers on that unforgettable day is
on display. The photo screens were
packaged in a container that will be
mailed to various locations across
the country throughout the year.
In the video, five or six photog-
raphers shared the sights, sounds
and feelings they experienced while
capturing the story and images.
In the chaos, dust and rubble,
Mike Silverman, managing editor
of AP, explained his dedication to
the work that took the forefront of
many photographers minds despite
the feeling of terror in their stom-
achs.
Former senior staff photogra-
pher Marty Lederhandler was 84
years old when the attacks took
place. He described how he could
not walk fast enough to be close
to the towers so instead he went
to the top of the General Electric
Building to photograph the scene
from above.
Its a strange feeling. You look
at one picture with the building,
and the current picture, no build-
ing. Just an emptiness in the sky,
Lederhandler said in the movie.
As the video plays on the screen,
visitors can see the dirt and rubble
still on the towers columns. They
were not cleaned or restored before
arriving at the Dole Institute in
April 2003. According to a state-
ment prepared by Bischoff, they
appeared exactly as they were when
they were removed from Ground
Zero. They were still coated with
flame retardant foam, jet fuel and
debris.
The four-foot-wide steel col-
umns, which weigh approximate-
ly 1,500 pounds, were part of the
perimeter of the towers. John M.
Barson, World Trade Center engi-
neer, stated in a letter to Stan Rolfe,
professor of civil and environ-
mental engineering professor, that
one of the columns was installed
somewhere between the 58th and
61st floors. The other tapered piece
came from one of the mechanical
equipment floors, he said. There
were three mechanical floors in
each tower.
Andrew McKelvey shipped the
columns to Lawrence from New
York City. McKelvey worked with
Senator Bob Dole and former presi-
dent Bill Clinton on a Families of
Freedom Scholarship Fund for chil-
dren of Sept. 11victims. New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg pre-
sented them to the Dole Institute.
The memorial cases in which the
columns are encased, were a gift
from KU alumni Fred and Virginia
Merrill.
Bischoff said the Dole Institute
would soon make the plaque with
the donors name more prominent
in the display.

When 9/11 happened, I was
in boot camp for the Marines
at Marine Corps Recruit
Depot San Diego. MCRD San
Diego is right next to the air-
port in San Diego. Everyday
we would run by the airport
and hear the planes take off.
That morning, we thought
there might be trouble when
we heard no planes taking
off.
The second sign was when
we were on our way back
to where we stayed was all
the other men who where at
training were in circles. We
were sent to take a shower
and change clothes and then
our senior drill instructor
came and told us what had
happened. At first we were
shocked, then we all felt the
anger.
A couple days later, we were
shown some pictures and the
anger instensified. We used
that anger and trained to
become Marines even harder.
Ill never forget that shock
or the anger. 9/11 changed
the lives of everbody in the
United States, but for me, it
was a change that helped me
become a Marine and defend
the United States.
Anna Phillips, Kansas
City, Mo., sophomore
Sitting in class that day I
had to come to grips with
the fact that my mom was
in New York. My mom
travels a lot in her job so
this wasnt rare, but that
day was different. She was
staying in the Marriot
World Trade Center.
I called my dad, and he
assured me that she was
ok. The truth is he didnt
know. He thought she was
on Long Island, but she
wasnt. She was standing
under the towers when
the first plane went in and
when the first tower came
down. Everything that
happened that day was her
story. But her being there,
and the week it took for
her to get home is mine.
Samantha Hersh, South
Orange, N.J., senior
I was sitting in homeroom
at my school and the news
was on TV. I watched in
shock as they described the
first plane hitting the tow-
ers and then out of nowhere
the second plane hit. The
only thing going through
my mind as I witnessed this
was, Oh my God, I hope my
father is ok!
My dad worked only two
buildings down from the
World Trade Center and I
was terrified that something
bad had happened to him.
After homeroom was fin-
ished I gathered in the choir
room with a bunch of my
friends. We were all using
our cell phones to try and
contact our parents, most of
whom worked in New York
City. I finally got ahold of
my mother and she came to
pick me up at school. She
had heard from my father
who was heading towards
the ferry since the subways
were shut down. We drove to
Newark to pick him up and
I will never forget what we
saw. The towers were on fire
and smoke was everywhere.
Newark was a traffic jam,
because everyone had to get
out of New York City through
the ferry. People were stand-
ing on the streets waiting
for their loved ones to come
home. I started crying when
my dad finally found us and
got in the car.
He was coughing and was
covered in soot, but he was
alive. He was lucky and I
thank God everyday that he
survived such a horrible trag-
edy.

Bush vows to never forget lessons from Sept. 11
By JEnniFEr lOvEn
assOCiatEd PrEss
NEW YORK President Bush
and his wife Laura stood in som-
ber silence on Sunday after laying
wreaths at the site where the twin
towers of the World Trade Center
once soared. He later pledged
renewed resolve to remember the
lessons of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The Bushes set floral wreaths
adrift in reflecting pools that mark
the former location of the north and
south towers at the beginning of a
fifth-anniversary tour that will take
them to all three sites of devasta-
tion.
They uttered no words at the
ceremony, and walked hand-in-hand
on the floor of the cavernous pit,
after a slow procession down the
long, flag-lined ramp from the street
level four to five stories above.
The Bushes then attended a ser-
vice of prayer and remembrance at
nearby St. Pauls Chapel and stopped
by a rebuilt firehouse to greet fire-
fighters.
Laura and I approach tomorrow
with heavy hearts. Its hard not to
think about people who lost their
lives, Bush told reporters after meet-
ing with relatives of 9/11 victims at
a visitor center near the firehouse.
The original firehouse, on the rim
of the pit, had been destroyed in the
attack.
Tomorrow is a day of sadness for
a lot of people, Bush said. I vowed
that Im never going to forget the
lessons of that day. ... So tomorrow is
also a day of renewed resolve.
They were the first stops of nearly
24 hours of observances at the three
sites where terrorists wrought death
and destruction and transformed his
presidency. Nearly 3,000 Americans
were killed in the attacks.
On Monday, the anniversary, he
was to visit with firefighters and
other emergency workers at a fire-
house in lower Manhattan; attend a
ceremony at the field in Shanksville,
Pa., where one of the hijacked planes
hurtled to the ground; and partici-
pate in a wreath-laying ceremony at
the Pentagon.
He also was to speak to Americans
during a prime-time address Monday
night from the Oval Office.
Accompanying the president and
first lady at ground zero were New
York Gov. George Pataki, New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and
Rudy Giuliani, who was New York
mayor at the time of the attacks.
Across New York, residents
marked the day at other ceremo-
nies large and small. From a ser-
vice of remembrance at St. Patricks
Cathedral in midtown Manhattan
to a chant at a Buddhist temple on
Staten Island, New Yorkers observed
the somber anniversary with prayer
and reflection.
Bush and his wife wore grim
expressions as they took their plac-
es for the interfaith service at St.
Pauls. The 240-year-old Episcopal
church, across the street from the
site, escaped damage and became
a center of refuge for weary rescue
workers.
Sitting next to Bush in the pew
was Jane Vigiano, who lost two sons
in the attack Joe, a policeman and
John, a firefighter. Sitting next to
Laura Bush was Bob Beckwith, the
retired firefighter who handed Bush
a bullhorn on the presidents first
ground zero visit.
On their way in, Bush and his wife
greeted Arlene Howard, the mother
of 9/11 victim George Howard, a
New York Port Authority police offi-
cer, with a kiss on the cheek. Bush
keeps Howards badge as a constant
reminder of the attacks.

Kansan staff reports
The nature of college athlet-
ics requires constant travel and
relocation. On the fifth anniver-
sary of the Sept. 11 attacks, The
University Daily Kansan asked
some Jayhawk coaches where they
were when they heard the news.
Womens basketball coach
Bonnie Henrickson:
On Sept. 11, Bonnie Henrickson
was just miles from the Pentagon.
I couldnt see the plane hit, but
you felt it, she said. Then, after
a few minutes, you could see the
smoke.
At the time, she was the head
coach of the Virginia Tech Lady
Hokies. Sept. 9 marked the first
day of the 2001 recruiting season.
By the 11th, Henrickson was in
Washington, D.C., making school
visits to meet with prospects. She
was making her way northward
toward Pennsylvania when she
called an Amateur Athletic Union
coach she had planned to meet
with later that day.
AAU coach Linda Genther told
coach Henrickson that she needed
to turn on a TV immediately.
Right as Henrickson was learn-
ing of the collapse of the World
Trade Center, a plane struck the
Pentagon.
Henrickson recalls her family
frantically trying to get a hold of
her. When her sister was reassured
that Bonnie was safe, her sister
burst into tears.
Henrickson also remembers
the first day airlines were cleared
to fly again.
Accompanied by her staff, they
were the only three people aboard
the commercial flight.
Being a head basketball coach
on the collegiate level requires an
abundance of travel.
After that day, Henrickson says
her thoughts on traveling will
never be the same.
Baseball coach Ritch
Price:
Ritch Price may have been the
farthest from the attacks of any
Jayhawk coach. Price and his wife
were in the midst of a 10-day vaca-
tion when they heard the news.
I was running on a treadmill
on a cruise ship in Istanbul, Price
said. I was watching the news, so
I actually saw the second plane hit
live.
Because of the worldwide airport
closings, the Prices were forced to
stay an extra three days on their
docked ship with no way to get
home to their three young sons.
Its not that youre scared for
yourself, but whos going to take
care of your family, Price said.
Often being the source of rally-
ing wide varieties of people togeth-
er, Americas pastime had a hand
in giving hope to a nation stunned
by tragedy.
The New York Yankees, along
with several other teams from
various sports, postponed games
because of the attacks, but Price
feels they did this country a world
of good upon their return.
The first time we watched God
Bless America during the seventh
inning of the Yankees game, it
chokes you up, Price said. I think
it choked up an entire nation.
Volleyball coach Ray
Bechard:
On Sept. 11, Ray Bechard was in
his office preparing for an upcom-
ing volleyball match. Tracy Bunge,
Kansas softball coach, then entered
his office to inform him about the
news.
Bechard said Bunge asked him if
he had seen the television, and he
replied no.
I turned it on, and, obviously, I
was fixated for the rest of the day,
he said. I know we canceled our
next match and rescheduled.
Jayhawk coaches remember
where they were on Sept. 11
Patricia Schroeder,
Lenexa senior
Unlike most students, I
wasnt in high school when
the attacks happened. I
had just been married in
July, and my husband and
I had overslept. He called
his boss to let him know
he was going to be late
before we had even turned
on the news. His boss said,
Considering whats hap-
pened, no one is going in
today. That was when we
turned on the TV.
We spent the whole day
glued to CNN, like most
Americans. Since we had
slept till noon, we thought
that my husbands boss was
exaggerating.
Surely the towers werent
completely gone. Within
five minutes of turning on
the TV we saw the rubble.
I dont really remember
much else from that day. I
dont even think we even
ate lunch or dinner, we just
kept staring at the TV.
Kyle Rohde, Delafeld,
Wis., alumnus
I was just beginning my
freshman year at KU, living
on the 7th floor of Templin.
My roommates were all at
class already and I woke up
around 9:30 in the morn-
ing and got in the shower.
I turned on the radio and
heard something about the
president being secured in
his location.
I then rushed out to the
living room and turned on
the TV just in time to see
the second plane hit the
twin towers. I then ran into
the dorm hallway to see
if anyone else was around
before returning to my
room and calling my dad.
He and I talked quickly
before I headed to class.
Id considered skipping
class but I went to anthro-
pology anyway. In that
class, we spent the period
discussing what had hap-
pened. Towards the end,
a student raised his hand
and began talking about his
sister, who worked in the
building as a translator for
German business people.
In the middle of talking,
he burst into tears and told
us that his sister had most
likely died in the collapse.
Ive never heard 120 people
go so silent so quickly.
That day is vivid in my
memory and will be for the
rest of my life. It was indeed
a somber day in the begin-
ning of my college career.
Joe DeLissio, Staten
Island, N.Y., sopho-
more
I am from Staten Island,
NY., and I was in my sec-
ond period class when
the towers were hit. My
teacher, Mr. Manzo, had
told us that something had
happened but he did not
tell us specifically what. In
my next class my history
teacher, Mr. Gus, told the
class that the World Trade
Center had been hit by two
airplanes. It wasnt until
later on that I found out
they collapsed.
A lot of students par-
ents worked in Manhattan
and I remember everyone
being nervous about their
families.
My dad works right
under the Brooklyn Bridge,
just across the river from
the World Trade Center.
Luckily he took off work
that day because he was
supposed to take my mom
to get dental work done.
After my third period class
my father came to pick me
up at school. On our way
back from picking up my
older sister from her school
we could see smoke filling
the sky across the Hudson
River in Manhattan.
Everyone was shocked.
It didnt really hit me until
later in the day watching
the news with my family
how devastating the attack
was. The terrorists had
taken lives and destroyed
a part of the greatest city in
the world.
Jessica Christenberry,
De Soto senior
Senior year of high
school, and we were start-
ing to research for some
important paper or another.
We had all trucked into the
library, and were mainly
talking at tables. Someone
was on the CNN Web site,
and said that a plane had hit
the Pentagon. We thought it
was a joke. How could that
happen?
Then we hear that a
plane hit one of the World
Trade Center towers, and
it seemed more serious.
One by one we filed into
the media center where the
librarians recorded news for
the journalism teachers. I
distinctly remember stand-
ing there with my arms
crossed, watching the news
in silence with five or so of
my classmates.
That was when we saw
live the second plane hit the
second tower. The rest of the
day was a blur of watching
the news and being in fear.
Nothing could happen to us
in Kansas, but we could feel
for the people of New York
and Washington.
Amanda OToole, Wich-
ita alumna
As we did every Tuesday
morning, my roommate
and I watched Good
Morning America while
we got ready for our his-
tory discussion.
I had just gotten back
from brushing my teeth
when the station showed a
live coverage of the towers.
Only one was on fire.
I wasnt sure what was
going on. Was it an attack?
An accident? And then I
saw the second plane hit.
My experiences through-
out the next few weeks still
give me chills: awestruck
and sometimes crying, I
watched 9/11 coverage in
the lobby with everyone
else on my floor; I watched
even the most liberal of
students avoid walking on
a giant chalked American
flag by stepping off Wescoe
Beach and onto Jayhawk
Boulevard and I chanted
USA with thousands of
other Jayhawks at Late
Night with Roy, which was
only about a month after
the attacks.
I cant believe its been
five years and there are
still days I cant believe it
ever happened.

Fans of KU basketball tradi-
tion and 70s glam rock took a
hit Thursday when the Athletics
Department banned Rock and Roll
Part 2 from all sporting events.
The song, written by Gary Glitter,
includes the controversial phrase,
Were gonna beat the hell out of
you, and you, and you and you and
you, and is better known as The
Hey Song. Glitter was convicted in
March of molesting two Vietnamese
girls he claimed to be teaching
English.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics
director, said banning the song was a
direct result of Glitters conviction.
Theres just plenty of other songs
we can play, Marchiony said. We
dont need to play a song by Gary
Glitter.
Earlier this year, the National
Football League asked its teams
to stop playing the popular arena
anthem. Marchiony said the deci-
sion to ban the song at KU sport-
ing events was not influenced by
the NFLs decision. He also said
the NCAA had not contacted the
department about the song.
Despite Glitters conviction, some
dont think it should automatically
lead to the ban.
Tom Stidham, associate director
of bands and former conductor of
the Kansas basketball band, said he
saw the complexity of the issue.
Its a decision Im glad I dont have
to make, Stidham said. Because I
dont have much patience for child
molestation, but at the same time
the song isnt exactly condoning that
behavior.
In past seasons, Stidham had the
band play the song at every basket-
ball game during pregame warm-ups
and after a Kansas run forced the
opposing team to take a time out.
Some students said they would
miss that tradition.
The song didnt molest anybody,
Tyler Childs, Joplin, Mo., senior, said.
I doubt most people here even have
any idea who Gary Glitter is. I think
its just the Athletics Department
making an empty gesture and in the
process theyre taking away a song
that the fans love.

As the Kansas cornerbacks
allowed Louisiana-Monroe to
convert a third and 16 on what
could have been the game-tying
drive, it became painfully obvi-
ous what the Jayhawks needed:
Aqib Talib.
The Kansas secondary looked
disoriented and out of place all
night. There was no leader on the
field, and sophomore Raymond
Brown proved he is not yet ready
to take the field on Saturdays.
In the end, Kansas squeaked
by with a 21-19 victory that
was based solely on mistakes by
Louisiana-Monroe, including a
missed extra point and a receiv-
er-wide-open-in-the-end zone
but miraculously incomplete
two-point conversion.
Next week against Toledo,
Kansas will need Talib to come up
big in his return to the lineup.
The sophomore cornerback
has the opportunity to follow in
the footsteps of Charles Gordon
and be at the heart of the new-
look defense. He has the talent to
intercept anything thrown near
him. He has the showmanship to
be on the SportsCenter Update
at :28 and :58. Hes also been
conspicuously absent from the
first two games.
Talib was suspended at the
coachs discretion the week
before the first game. He spent
the game, as he did last week,
chatting it up with junior cor-
nerback Michael McCoy on the
sideline.
Coach Mark Mangino was
elusive on the issue, but hinted at
Talibs return to the lineup.
If I decide to, well play him,
Mangino said. I think that he
may play; theres a good chance
that he will, but well see how he
does and how things are going
for him.
The time for Mangino to send
a message is done. Kansas can-
not defeat Toledo without Talib
anchoring the secondary.
Without him, all Kansas has
is senior safety Jerome Kemp. He
has performed admirably, but his
health is still not at 100 percent.
Im banged up here and there,
but Im always ready to go when
it comes game time, Kemp said.
The fragile secondary hurt
Kansas in other ways, too.
By RyAn SchnEidER
Mark Mangino talked all week
about his team making its biggest
improvement between the first and
second game.
That didnt seem to be the case
this week.
Kansas squeaked past Louisiana-
Monroe 21-19 Saturday, staving off
a serious upset bid. The Jayhawks
offense looked inept for most of the
game and the defense was lit up for
nearly 400 yards passing. With a
national television date with Toledo
looming on Friday, Kansas must
improve and fast.
Mangino said he didnt think
his team overlooked ULM, but that
the game was a valuable experience
before its first road game.
Ive talked to them all week that
I thought this was a good football
team, Mangino said. I thought
they had a lot of talented kids, espe-
cially at the skill positions, and we
learned that we have to earn them
one at a time.
Although Kansas never trailed,
ULM had numerous opportuni-
ties to at least send the game into
overtime and possibly sneak out
with the victory. ULM kicker Ragan
Walters shanked a 43-yard field goal
and also missed an extra point.
Despite the blown chances,
ULM had a chance to tie the game
with less than four minutes left in
the game.
Late in the fourth quarter, the
Warhawks drove down the field,
aided by Lancasters 28-yard pass
to running back Calvin Dawson on
a critical third down and six play.
Dawson took the ball into Kansas
territory and ULM would score
the touchdown a few plays later,
making it 21-19. The Warhawks
missed the two-point conversion
that would have tied the game
when Lancasters pass in the end
zone to tight end Zeek Zacharie
sailed wide.
With numerous chances tie the
game, ULM players knew they
missed their chance to upset a BCS-
conference team.
We did dominate the game,
Zacharie said. It was just a few
missed opportunities for points. Its
a big disappointment.
Kansas secondary, which is still
without suspended starting corner-
back Aqib Talib, sophomore, strug-
gled throughout much of the game.
Talibs replacement, sophomore
Raymond Brown, was burned on
several passes, including a 59-yard
touchdown pass to tie the game at
7-7, late in the first quarter.
Kinsmon Lancaster, the
Warhawks quarterback, finished
the game 24-of-41 passing for 377
yards and two touchdowns. It was
the most passing yards Kansas had
given up in nine games.
After giving up 377 passing
yards and more than 420 yards of
total offense, Kansas defenders said
they had mistakes to correct before
their first road game next week.
We definitely need to pay more
attention to our packages, our cov-
erages and to our opponents, senior
safety Jerome Kemp said. We didnt
necessarily overlook them, but we
were caught off guard.

Late goal pushes
Kansas past Duke
Kansas freshmen forwards lead
Jayhawks to victory against No. 15 Duke,
tournament title at UAB Nike classic
By Mark Dent
Strong performances by young
and experienced players alike led
Kansas to an unexpected victory
against No. 15 Duke at the UAB
Nike Classic.
Shannon McCabe blasted
the game-winner off a pass from
Monica Dolinsky with 26 seconds
left, as the freshmen forwards led the
Jayhawks past the Blue Devils 4-3 in
Birmingham, Ala.
The girls showed a lot of heart,
Kansas coach Mark Francis said.
This was one of
the best perfor-
mances Ive seen
since Ive been
here.
The Jayhawks
(4-1-0) had a goal
kick in the 90th
minute that went
to Dolinsky. She
collected the pass
around midfield
and forwarded the
ball to McCabe.
Her fellow freshman caught it on the
run, beat a defender and fired the
ball into the net from barely inside
the goal box to give the Jayhawks
their first win against a top-25 oppo-
nent since 2004.
Kansas victory against Duke
Sunday, paired with a 2-1 victory
against Alabama on Friday, meant it
won the UAB Nike Classic.
McCabes goal was her first of
the season, and it gave Kansas its
first lead of the game, after trailing
1-0 early and 3-1 for much of the
second half.
Dolinsky did more than just set
up the game winning shot. She also
tied the game eight minutes ear-
lier. Dolinsky and another fresh-
man forward, Kim Boyer, passed
the ball between themselves deep on
the offensive side of the field. Their
game of back and forth ended when
Boyer made a final pass to Dolinsky,
who knocked it in from the center
of the box. It was her team-leading
fourth goal of the season.
A slow start made the Jayhawks
comeback necessary. The Blue
Devils scored in the second minute
and then again in the 62nd minute
to take a 2-0 lead. Senior midfield-
er Holly Gault ignited the Jayhawk
resurgence.
Gault tallied her second goal of
the season on a pass from sopho-
more midfielder Jessica Bush. Duke
added another goal to extend its
lead to 3-1, but
it didnt have
much time to
celebrate. Gault
r e s p o n d e d
eight seconds
later to pull
Kansas within
one.
Senior for-
ward Lacey
Novak passed
the ball to
Gault on the
ensuing kickoff. A streaking Gault
received the pass, sprinted past her
defender and squeaked the ball past
the goalie.
Gaults goals kicked off a 24-min-
ute span in which Kansas scored
all four of its goals, culminating in
McCabes game winner.
Offensively, this was our best
game of the season, Francis said.
We showed intensity consistently
throughout the game.
Kansas has a chance to defeat
another quality opponent when it
plays former top-25 team Pepperdine
this Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer
Complex. It will be the Jayhawks
first home game in three weeks.

Arkansas tops Kansas
in fve-game match
By Drew Davison anD
Michael PhilliPs
In a match where every point
mattered, KU serving errors allowed
Arkansas to take Kansas to a fifth
game, where the Razorbacks edged
the Jayhawks for a key early-season
victory.
The Jayhawks lost the match, but
still left the weekend as the champi-
ons of the Jayhawk Classic, thanks
to a victory against BYU earlier in
the weekend.
Kansas and Arkansas provided a
thrilling conclusion to the weekend
of volleyball at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center, as all five games
were up for grabs through the final
points. The final score was 33-35,
30-27, 26-30, 30-25 and 11-15.
The Jayhawks committed 16
serving errors, each of which result-
ed in an automatic point for the
Razorbacks.
Serving is just one of those
things, Emily Brown, junior right
side hitter/setter, said. Its either
our biggest weapon, or biggest
weapon against us.
In the first game, Kansas made
errors on three straight serves,
allowing Arkansas to fight back for
a 35-33 victory to open the match.
The game also ended on an error.
In the fifth game, with the Jayhawks
down 14-11 and at match point,
Linsey Morningstar, senior defen-
sive specialist, ended the game and
match with a serving error.
Coach Ray Bechard said
Morningstar was in a situation to
serve aggressively, and didnt fault
her for being aggressive.
Other than serving, Bechard said
the team needed to play better in
close situations.
In in-game situations we need
to be better, Bechard said. I mean
at 25 all, we need to be very, very
good.
On the brighter side for Kansas,
Savannah Noyes, sophomore
middle blocker, had a career-high
20 kills against Arkansas. Jamie
Mathewson, senior libero, also set
a career-high in digs with 24. And
Katie Martincich, freshman setter,
set her assist career-high with 67.
Arkansas may have had the
edge in experience, but both teams
matched up well in a physical
early-season game. Kansas ended
the game with 23 more kills than
Arkansas.
Brown said that the Jayhawks
must look at the weekend as a
whole, and not just the final game.
We were upset we lost, but at
the same time, we had a good week-
end, she said. It was a good match,
its not like we didnt play well and
get killed. Its just hard to see right
now, but we came away with a lot
from this weekend.
Next up, Kansas begins Big 12
Conference play when it travels
to Lincoln, Neb., to battle No. 1
Nebraska.

Kansas State improves
despite kicking blunders
MANHATTAN After miss-
ing two of three field goal attempts
in Kansas States 45-0 win against
Florida Atlantic on Saturday and
going 3-for-6 during his first two
games, KSU kicker Jeff Snodgrass
is going to be churning them out
during practice this week as Kansas
State prepares to host Marshall.
But while making kicks was a
problem for the Wildcats, return-
ing them wasnt. Justin McKinneys
88-yard touchdown return on the
opening kickoff was the Wildcats
first game-opening score since Red
Elder did it against Oklahoma on
Nov. 7, 1936. It was Kansas States
second kick-return TD in as many
weeks, after Yamon Figurs ran back
a punt against Illinois State in the
Wildcats opener.
But after managing just 207
yards of offense and not scoring
a touchdown in that game, the
Wildcats rolled up 346 yards on
the Owls (0-2). Meanwhile the
Wildcats defense had three sacks
and nine other tackles for loss,
holding Florida Atlantic to 202
yards. The Owls have yet to score a
touchdown this season.

HoMe winning StreaK extended
Kansas extended its home winning streak to eight games, tying the longest streak in school history.
the Jayhawks own the Big 12s second-longest home winning streak, trailing only texas tech, who
has 10 straight home wins. texas, the previous leader, had its 16-game streak ended Saturday by ohio
State.
KanSaS StreaKing
the Jayhawks have nowwon four straight games dating back to last season, tying its longest streak
under Mangino. the teamhas won four straight on three diferent ocassions.
SoLdierS recognized
Kansas athletics inc. celebrated Heroes night at Saturdays game, recognizing members of various
armed services divisions. among those recognized were several Kansas students returning home from
duty in afghanistan and iraq. Students recognized were Sergeants davidwarren, Jason neal, Jennifer
Jones, adrian Motta and Specialist Susan Massey.
The Jayhawks first blitz of the
night resulted in a 40-yard comple-
tion for the Warhawks. After that,
defensive coordinator Bill Young
seemed trigger shy for the rest of
the night, knowing that if a blitz was
picked up, one of the Warhawks
receivers would be matched up
favorably against a young Jayhawk
cornerback.
Junior cornerback Blake Bueltel
has performed adequately, but will
benefit from not being the go-to
guy while also trying to learn the
defensive schemes. Bueltel trans-
ferred to Kansas fromButler County
Community College before the start
of the season.
The Kansas offense can also pitch
in by using senior running back
Jon Cornish to eat up clock and
produce longer drives. In the first
half, Kansas had six drives with no
first downs, and on the other two
drove the length of the field for a
touchdown.
Freshman quarterback Kerry
Meier is skilled, but also inexperi-
enced. Cornish will have to be able
to provide gains in big third-down
situations to help keep the defense
off the field.
After last weeks game against
Northwestern State, Mangino offered
his team a mulligan for various
blunders on both sides of the ball.
No such clemency can be offered
after Saturdays showing.
There are no more sure-fire victo-
ries for Kansas, and there is no more
sure-fire solution than Aqib Talib.

Phillips is a Wichita senior in jour-
nalism. He is the Kansan sports
editor.
After faring well in his first col-
legiate game last week, freshman
quarterback Kerry Meier strug-
gled at times on Saturday.
Meier appeared flustered by the
blitzes by ULM, causing numer-
ous passes to receivers to be over-
thrown or short. One of those
passes, midway through the sec-
ond quarter, sailed over the head
of senior receiver Dominic Roux
and was intercepted by ULM
defensive back Josh Thompson at
the 15 yard line, who was one of
two defenders covering Roux.
All three of the Jayhawks scor-
ing drives came on possessions of
80 yards. Other than those three
scoring drives, Kansas offense
sputtered for most of the game.
Kansas went three-and-out on
four of its first five possessions
and followed that with an inter-
ception on the sixth drive. On
seven drives, Kansas couldnt
record a first down.
Those drives, theyre great
confidence boosters, Meier said.
Coming off those, to have a three-
and-out, its not good, its not what
you want.
One of Kansas lone bright spots
in the game was the play of senior
running back Jon Cornish, who
rushed for 110 yards. After rushing
for 140 yards against Northwestern
State, Cornish is now nearly one-
fourth of the way towards his 1,000
yard goal.
With a tough test against
Toledo on Friday fast approaching,
Mangino said his team had work to
do, but made enough plays to earn
the victory.
The bottomline is we won, well
take it and were not giving it back,
Mangino said.

Kansas secondary gave
up a nauseating 377 yards
passing. uLMquarterback
Kinsmon Lancaster had
his pick of wide receivers
for most of the night, with
three ending up with at
least 80 yards receiving.
Lancaster and his re-
ceivers connected for six
passes of at least 20 yards,
with four of those coming
in the second half.
Kansas played without
starting sophomore cor-
nerback aqibtalib, who
might be back next week.
with or without him,
Kansas secondary has
some serious problems to
correct this week.
Stat of the
game
Lancasters 377 passing
yards ranks in the top 15
all-time for most pass-
ing yards given up by a
Jayhawk defense.
Last week against
northwestern State, the
secondary gave up 217
yards passing. Lancaster
had that many yards by
the second play of the
third quarter. He was the
frst quarterback to pass
for at least 300 yards
against Kansas sincetexas
techs cody Hodges threw
for 333 yards last season.
Ryan Schneider
By SHaWn SHRoyeR
Living by the bend, but dont
break philosophy, the Kansas sec-
ondary was stretched to its break-
ing point by Louisiana-Monroe
quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster.
Two plays into the second
half, the Kansas secondary had
already surrendered more passing
yards than it did during the entire
Northwestern State game.
For the game, Lancaster complet-
ed 24-for-41 passes for 377 yards,
two touchdowns and no intercep-
tions. His performance was one of
the 15 best all-time by an opposing
quarterback against Kansas.
Unable to find an answer for
Lancaster during the game, Kansas
had even fewer answers after the
game to explain why it couldnt stop
Lancaster.
Although the Jayhawks watched
film this week to get an idea of
what the Warhawks strengths were,
Kansas coach Mangino said the film
didnt do justice to what Lancaster
and ULMwere capable of.
The Alcorn game was not a
good game to measure Monroe,
Mangino said. It wasnt a tough
game for them at all.
As a result, Lancaster looked like
a man among boys for most of the
game, excelling in high-pressure
situations.
On nine occasions, Lancaster
was faced with third-down and at
least seven yards, and four times he
converted one time hitting tight
end Zeek Zacharie for a 59-yard
touchdown.
Other times, needing eight yards,
he passed for 16 and needing seven
yards, he passed for 28. Even facing
a third and 16, Lancaster completed
a 17-yard pass.
Senior strong safety Jerome
Kemp said the secondary made
adjustments throughout the game in
an effort to stop the plays Lancaster
was having success with. He said
faults in the defensive schemes were
the cause of Lancasters success.
Our defensive schemes, I think,
are perfect for any offense that we
go against; its just getting the right
call, Kemp said.
However, the statistics showed
that Kansas adjustments in the sec-
ondary werent enough. Lancaster
completed 67 percent of his passes
in the second half, compared to 52
percent in the first half.
And despite having less space to
work with in the red zone, Lancaster
found holes in the Kansas defense.
Lancaster connected with Zacharie
once again for a three-yard touch-
down that put ULMin a position to
tie the game in the fourth quarter.
Instead of focusing on what the
secondary did wrong against the
Warhawks, Mangino said the game
would be a great learning experi-
ence for his inexperienced second-
ary.
Kemp said he was still comfort-
able with the players around him
in the secondary, but gave a short
list of what the secondary needs
to improve on to avoid making the
same mistakes against pass-happy
Toledo this week.
We definitely need to pay more
attention to our packages, our
coverages and to our opponents,
Kemp said. We didnt necessarily
overlook them, but we were caught
off guard.

Shroyer can be contacted at

Freshman quarterback Kerry
Meier finished the night 16-for-27
for 185 yards, with two passing
touchdowns and two interceptions.
How was his performance com-
pared to last week?

The offense as a
whole looked sluggish
and did not produce
when it had to. There
were key third downs late in the
game that if the Jayhawks con-
verted, they would have put the
Warhawks away. Someone needs
to step up and be a vocal leader
for everyone else to feed off of,
and this needs to be Meier no
matter his age or year in school.
The offense cannot look sluggish
again at Toledo on Friday or the
Jayhawks will be 2-1.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer

Kerry Meier
looked a lot better
on Saturday, espe-
cially with his abil-
ity to scramble and run when he
was pressured. He was able to stay
in the pocket and give his receiv-
ers time to get open downfield,
but more impressively, he was able
to pick up the first down with his
legs when no one was open. His
comfort level will continue to rise
as he gets more experience under
his belt, but his seven touchdowns
in two games proves that hes the
real deal.
B.J. Rains

Meiers final stats
looked decent on
paper, but he looked
every bit a freshman
in his second game. He failed to
make good reads and find second-
ary receivers. Instead, he chose to
force the ball to receivers who were
not open. This resulted in easy
interceptions for Lousiana-Monroe.
Meier will have to improve as the
team moves into Big 12 Conference
play.
Asher Fusco
Meier looked
more comfortable
this week despite
constantly being under pres-
sure and playing with a limited
playbook. He threw two beauti-
ful touchdown passes and made
plays with his feet that Jayhawk
fans have not seen since the days
of Bill Whittemore. He still tends
to telegraph his passes but will
improve with more experience. We
will learn a lot more about Meier
under the bright lights Friday night
at Toledo, where offensive coordi-
nator Nick Quartaro should give
Meier more chances to throw the
ball down the field.
Kayvon Sarraf
Last week, most
of the Jayhawks
touchdowns were
set up by defense
and special teams, which led to
short fields for the offense to work
with. This week, the three touch-
downs came on 80-yard drives,
all of which were capped by Kerry
Meier touchdowns.

football quotes
Louisiana-Monroe coach
charlie weatherbie on
what cost his team the
game:
We had three missed kicks
two feld goals and a missed
extra point. We make that ex-
tra point and its a tie ballgame
with three minutes left in the
game and were right where we
want to be in the fourth quar-
ter.
weatherbie on where he
thinks both teams will be
by the end of the season:
Theyrea physical, Big 12 team.
Theyll win a lot of games. I told
our players today that thats a
bowl team. I really believe that,
and I believe we will be too.
Senior defensive end
Paul como on what
success the Kansas
defense had against uLM
sophomore quarterback
Kinsmon Lancaster:
He was pretty fast, so it was
a big challenge, but I thought
we contained him pretty well.
He threw for a lot against, us,
but he didnt run the ball too
much.
Kansas coach Mark
Mangino on what
positives came from
allowing Lancaster to
pass for 377 yards:
you never like to give up 377
yards passing, but when you
take into account some of the
kids who were back there, this
was a good learning experi-
ence. Watching themselves on
tape with the coaches critiqu-
ing them will be a good learn-
ing experience. I think we will
be a better secondary for hav-
ing played this game.
Mangino on uLMs
pressure against
quarterbackKerry Meier:
They had a blitz fest out there
for a while. We saw everything
out there.
Mangino: We told the kids,
youvegot to toughenup, get in
there and keep sawing wood.

Green sufers head trauma
Chiefs quarterback taken to hospital, doesnt remember brutal hit
By DAVE SKRETTA
ThE ASSociATED pRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Trent
Green was taken from the field
on a stretcher after a brutal hit by
Cincinnatis Robert Geathers, and
while the Chiefs said their quarter-
back sustained pretty severe head
trauma, he was awake and moving
shortly after Sundays game.
Actually, when he did wake up,
he remembered every play except
the one that knocked him out,
Kansas City general manager Carl
Peterson said. So were being very
optimistic and hopeful.
Peterson said Green was taken
to a hospital where preliminary X-
rays of his neck and head were
negative.
Green was injured when he went
into a feet-first hook-slide at the
end of the third quarter.
Geathers charged in and
appeared to hit Greens head or
chest with his shoulder.
Greens neck snapped back hard
into the turf and he lay motionless
for a few moments. He then was
taken off on a stretcher, with an
attendant holding his hands under
Greens helmet.
There was no penalty on the
play.
His family, including his wife,
Julie, is with him, Peterson said.
The Bengals won 23-10.
Dick Whipple/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green lies motionless after being tackled by Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Robert Geathers during the third
quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Green was injured and carried of the feld after the tackle. The Bengals won 23-10.
