Bush promises to help rebuild
leadership in Justice Department
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
The dark curtain rushes up to the ceiling,
the electric energy of violins fills the room and
suddenly brightly colored dancers burst onto
the stage. Dancers in lime green, hot pink,
bright blue, orange and red fill the rainbow-lit
stage, as a Degas-like scene comes to life in
the ballet, Pas Trs Classique. This is just one
performance the University Dance Company
hopes to amaze and enchant audiences with at
its fall concert at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Friday
in the Lied Center.
This year, a show highlight is a dance
choreographed by nationally known dancer,
Twyla Tharp. Tharp has choreographed for
films such as Hair and Broadway shows
such as Singin in the Rain. She recently
has given dance companies permission to
use her choreography. The University Dance
Company will perform her dance Torelli,
which begins with eight highly structured
movement phrases that challenge dancers.
Nora Burt, Chicago sophomore and com-
pany member, said her favorite part of dance
was the out-of-body experience of perform-
ing on stage. Burt said Tharps piece was
challenging because the company had bought
the rights to the dance and learned it from
a DVD. Therefore, the choreography had to
be exact.
Michelle Hayes, associate professor of
dance, choreographed the dance Cradling
Persephone. She said the inspiration for
the dance came from the Greek myth of
Persephone, a young girl abducted by Hades.
She incorporated the myth with her experi-
ences mentoring young women in the dance
department, and watching them undergo the
challenges of adolescence and making it on
their own. She said when Kelsey Smith was
abducted and murdered in Overland Park in
June, she couldnt imagine what the family
went through, and wanted to weave the story
into her dance. Hayes said she wanted to
evoke the feeling of surviving and living after
trauma.
Burt, who is in
Cradling Persephone,
said part of the challenge
of the dance was express-
ing the emotions the piece
required.
When Im given a
character, thats a whole
other dimension, Burt
said. Im acting with the
dance.
The dance, which is
in three parts, transi-
tions throughout the story. Hayes said it
moved from a tranquil, innocent beginning,
to a dynamic middle section that exudes
the mean girl phenomena of adolescence.
Finally, it ends with a feeling of survival.
Toni Bolger, West Des Moines, Iowa,
senior, and dancer in Cradling Persephone,
said she enjoyed telling the story through
dance. Bolger said modern dance was her
favorite because it could be so expressive and
personal. As a senior, Bolger said the perfor-
mance was especially important to her, and
she was excited to show the audience what the
group had been working on since August.
I get to share my passion, Bolger said.
Performing is kind of like a high. Thats what
we love to do.
The concert will also include solo perfor-
mances. Hayes will perform a flamenco solo,
Sole, which will be accompanied live by
guitar and violin. She said the flamenco style
was challenging, because if her balance got off
one millimeter, she would lose the tempo of
the dance. Hayes said the dancers had been
committed to the fall concert since the begin-
ning of the semester.
They have no life dur-
ing this semester, Hayes
said. Theyve practiced
for three hours a week
since August, plus their
own personal rehearsals.
She said dancers spent
about 15 years of the lives
perfecting their art, plus
three hours a week this
semester all for a five-
minute dance on stage to
display their talent.
I think thats
the magic, Hayes said. I think the audience
realizes theres a sense of investment.
Hayes said she had a pre-performance ritu-
alin which she placed her hands on the floor.
She said she tried to meditate and soak up
all the talent that had danced across the Lied
Center stage.
Burt said she hoped more students would
attend the performance. She said the students
would be impressed and surprised with the
content of the show.
I think dance is under the radar, Burt
said. Its kind of a cultural experience, its not
just your little sisters dance recital.

Dancers to perform after months of rehearsal
Dont think Hollywood is the only
place where movies can be made. Kevin
Willmott, a professor of theater and film,
has also been a member of the Writers
Guild of America since 1996 and agrees
with the current writers strike.
Willmott, who has penned scripts for
Chris Columbus and Oliver Stone, said
writers should receive more compensation
for online downloads and DVD sales.
On Tuesday night, Katie Hunt,
Memphis junior, saw all of her hard
work pay off as a designer when she
was named winner of Student Union
Activities Project Runway event. As
a result, she won a chance to have her
worked displayed in a window at Epic
Apparel, a free subscription to Vogue and
a check for $200.
Hunt said winning meant a lot, espe-
cially since her mom and dad drove from
Memphis and Alaska to support her.
The New Hampshire St. Bistro is clos-
ing its doors Sunday. The restaurant,
located at 811 New Hampshire St., had
been in business there for a little more
than a year.
The close of the restaurant marks the
end of yet another small business in
Lawrence. The Mass St. Deli closed last
winter, Molly McGees closed this sum-
mer and Joes Bakery closed last month.
Chastity Romero-Latham, a 2006 alum-
na and employee of The New Hampshire
St. Bistro, said she was saddened by the
closing of the business and that she was in
the process of getting a new job.

When, in the 17th cen-
tury, cofee madness reached
Europe, Pope Clement VIII
declared the beverage to be a
devils tool and warned the
Christians against drinking it.
But that was only until he hap-
pened to tasted it himself. After
that, the Pope quickly changed
his mind and decided to baptize
cofee.

In the past, KU students have called
Elizabeth Miller Watkins the Fairy
Godmother or Lady Bountiful of
the University of Kansas.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Watkins
was the University of Kansas big-
gest benefactor. Her donations to the
University include two scholarship
halls, the Universitys health center,
and the chancellors residence.
Elizabeth never formally attended
the University, but she was enrolled
in the preparatory school until 1875
when she was forced to drop out
because of financial trouble.
After she stopped attending the
University, Elizabeth became the sec-
retary of Jabez Watkins, a local busi-
nessman. She remained his secretary
for more than 30 years, and in 1909
they married. She was 46, and he
was 64.
When Jabez died, Elizabeth
inherited a sizeable fortune, and
she turned her attention back to the
University. Her first contribution to
the University was $75,000 to build
the Watkins Scholarship Hall for
women.
The scholarship hall opened in
1926. Women who showed outstand-
ing character and financial need
could live in the hall for $27 a year,
but were required to pay for their
own food.
In 1937, Miller Hall, which she
named after her brother, opened as
another womens scholarship hall.
Both halls are still open, and resi-
dents are still responsible for stock-
ing their own kitchens.
Watkins was also responsible for
the founding of the student health
center. Before she donated the funds
to the University, there was no real
source of medical care for students.
According to KUhistory.com, a
student was diagnosed with small-
pox in 1905. There was no way to
quarantine him, and the local hos-
pital refused to treat him. So, the
University secured a cabin in the
middle of the Kaw River for him to
stay in and friends delivered food to
the island daily.
Watkins Memorial Hospital
opened in 1931. Watkins Memorial
Hospital was later moved to a new
facility and the building where it was
formally housed was renamed Twente
Hall, the School of Social Welfare.
Elizabeth also donated funds to build
Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
In her will, Watkins bequeathed
more of her fortune to the University.
After she died in 1939, Watkins home
became the chancellors residence.
She also donated a large piece of
land in Southwestern Kansas to the
University and set up trust funds to
ensure that her gifts would able to be
sustained.

University to send text
messages as new system
The University will test its new
emergency system by sending text
messages to students, faculty and
staf today.
The 11,000 people who signed
up for the text message system
should receive a message at noon
that says: THIS IS A TEST of the KU
Alert text messaging system for
situations of imminent danger on
campus. This is only a TEST.
Students can sign up for the sys-
tem at http://sa.ku.edu. According
to a press release, students who
signed up for the system this week
will not receive the text because
the database system updates itself
at the end of each week.
Todd Cohen, director of Univer-
sity Relations, said that if a student
does not receive a text tomorrow
but thinks he or she signed up
to receive one, that the student
should go back to the Web site and
re-enter their information.
The University paid $650,000
to Rave Wireless Inc. to set up the
system.
Cohen said that the messag-
ing system was instituted largely
because of the event at Virginia
Tech in April, in which a Virginia
Tech student killed 32 students and
faculty.
The University began inviting
students to sign up for the emer-
gency system in May.

Jail requests satellite TV
for football purposes
ATLANTA The warden of
the Clayton County Correctional
Institution wants permission to
spend money for a management
tool satellite TV to keep his
226 inmates occupied watching
football.
Warden Frank Taylor is asking
the Clayton County Commission
to let him sign up for direct-
broadcast satellite service for less
than $100 a month. It would be
funded with money collected at
the prisons commissary and pay
phones, which last year amount-
ed to $41,000.
The reason is Monday Night
Football is now on cable, he said.
Although it might seem funny,
when you have 90 percent of
inmates watching something,
it is a management tool for the
institution.
Currently, he said, inmates in
the prisons fve dormitories only
get two TV channels, often with
poor reception.
Taylor asserted that every state
prison already had cable or satel-
lite television, but the Georgia
Department of Corrections said
that wasnt so.
The Clayton County Commis-
sion will vote on Taylors request
next week.
Elvis is Alive Museums
collection to relocate
ST. LOUIS Dont count Andy
Key as one of those Elvis Presley
fanatics who insist the King never
died.
Key, 38, said hes open to the
possibility Presley is alive, but
hes counting on there being
enough skeptics out there to
make his new business a success.
With an $8,300 eBay bid, Key
won the Elvis is Alive Museums
collection and plans to move the
museum from its current site in
Wright City, Mo., to Mississippi,
where Key lives and Presley was
born.
If (Elvis) wants to come to the
opening, he can certainly come
back, he said.
Included in the collection are
photographs, books, FBI fles,
DNA reports and other memo-
rabilia that aim to support the
theory that Presley never died.
Bill Beeny, 81, who founded
the museums collection, said he
sold the collection hoping its new
owner would continue his work.
Ill certainly go down and visit
once it sets up, he said.
Key said hed like the museum
to complement the tourist at-
traction in Tupelo, Miss., where
Presley was born and bought his
frst guitar.

MLINDBERG@kANsAN.coM
While Hollywood is in an uproar
as writers picket outside movie and
television studios for contract nego-
tiations, at least one writer is trying
to stay out of the limelight. Kevin
Willmott, a professor in the depart-
ment of theater and film, has been
a member of the Writers Guild of
America since 1995, and he said
he understood the current writers
strike.
Willmott said the evolution of
media was the source of the strike.
The way people watch television
is completely changing, Willmott
said. We have new revenue sources
for how movies are made.
Willmott said that the Internets
ability to offer movie downloads was
a major factor in why writers want
more compensation, and that they
deserved more payments for their
films and movies when they went to
DVD or were downloaded online.
As a result of the strike, which has
been taking place since Nov. 5, major
television networks have been rely-
ing on re-runs for shows, and reality
shows, such as Dancing with the
Stars, are now unscripted.
Michael Good, California senior,
is a film major and hopes to become
a professional writer. He said he
understood the reasons for the
strike.
I understand why the studios
might have issues, but the writers are
completely right, Good said. They
deserve money for Internet sales and
for when they go to DVD.
Good is writing multiple film
scripts, so it is important for him to
follow the strike, he said.
Im definitely watching, because
in a certain amount of years Ill
hopefully be working profession-
ally, and this strike could very well
impact me in the future, Good said.
Willmott said show business
was bizarre because writers could
have long careers with little of their
work being produced. He said he
had worked with director and writ-
er Oliver Stone, whose film credits
include Scarface and Any Given
Sunday, and that he also wrote
scripts for Chris Columbus, the
director behind Home Alone, but
that none of the scripts had been
produced yet. In 2000, NBC picked
up and aired his mini-series, The
70s, which received critical acclaim.
Willmott said the last writers
strike, which took place in 1988, took
a toll on his family and helped him
make his decision to work indepen-
dently from movie studios. Willmott,
who grew up in Kansas, became a
professor at the University seven
years ago. John Staniunas, chairman
of the department of theatre and film,
said Willmotts experiences had made
him a great professor and helped him
to improve film students.
Knowing the business of writing
is as important as being a skilled
writer, Staniunas said. Having
Professor Willmott on our facul-
ty allows our students to not only
become good writers, but savvy writ-
ers.
Although hes a professor, Willmott
still makes time for his writing career.
In 2004, his film C.S.A: Confederate
States of America went to the
Sundance Film Festival before going
to DVD. Director Spike Lee saw the
film, and because he enjoyed it, he
introduced the film at Sundance.
Willmott said Sundance was an
event he would remember and use as
a stepping stone toward the future.
He said he is now working on two
films, The Only Good Indian and
Bunker Hill.
It was really a beautiful experi-
ence, and now Im making movies
in Kansas and trying to build on it,
Willmott said.

Full Student Senate met last
night and voted on several pieces
of legislation, including student
fees, raising funds for various
student organizations and decid-
ing on internal matters. Below is a
recap of the nights events:
REQUIREd CAMPUS FEES
Student Senate voted unani-
mously to increase student fees by
$19.15 per semester.
Riley Dutton, Pittsburg senior
and author of the legislation to
raise the fees, told senators that
the increase was to compensate for
infation rates.
Each semester, KU students
are required to pay student fees
to 17 entities in the University.
The entities that asked for a raise
in their fee this year are: student
recreation, student union, campus
transportation fee and legal
services.
Currently, students pay $377.75.
With the increase, students will pay
$396.90.
Because the fiscal year
changes on July 1, the new fee
rate will be implanted on a pro-
rated basis during the second
term of classes in summer
2008, and the new fees in their
entirety will be implemented in
fall 2008.
MUlTICUlTURAl
EdUCATIoN FUNd
Student groups seeking fund-
ing to travel to multicultural
events will now be limited to
$275 per member for domestic
events and $425 per member for
international events, according
to legislation Student Senate
passed.
The legislation also speci-
fies that groups may only go
to the Multicultural Education
Fund Board for money once the
Student Senate unallocated
account goes lower than 30
percent.
Currently, student groups that
pay for multicultural events or
travel may go to both Student
Senate and the Multicultural
Education Fund to be given funds
up to 75 percent of their event or
travel costs.
The Multicultural Educa-
tion Fund is in its first year of
existence at the University. KU
students pay $1.50 per semester
to contribute to multicultural
groups.
EXECUTIVE MEMBERS
MAy AlSo SERVE AS
SENAToRS
Student Senate rejected legisla-
tion that would prohibit members
of the student executive commit-
tee from also serving as student
senators.
Supporters of the bill said
that students should not be
allowed to have dual influ-
ence in both the executive and
legislative branches of senate.
They also said that prohibiting
students to serve in both roles
would open up seats for more
students to be involved in Stu-
dent Senate.
Currently, there are 14 seats
in Student Senate that are not
filled.
Those who voted the bill
down said that members of the
current executive staff were
among the most active members
of Student Senate, and it would
be unfortunate to lose their
voice in Senate only because
they accepted an executive posi-
tion after being elected to serve
in Senate.
MoNETARy CoMPENSA-
TIoN FoR EXECUTIVE
MEMBERS
Members of the Student Senate
executive staf are able to accept
monetary compensation from any
entity on campus.
Student Senate did not pass
legislation that would have
allowed prohibited executive
members from receiving pay
from sources outside Student
Senate.
The legislation was directed
at the tuition sponsorships
that are currently received by
the student body president,
vice president, treasurer and
legislative director and the
director, financial director and
communication coordinator of
the Graduate and Professionals
Association.
Those who said that the
money should only come from the
Student Senate said that it was
morally appropriate for executive
members to be compensated by
those they represent.

BALTIMORE Roman Catholic
voters and lawmakers must heed
church teaching on issues ranging
from racism to abortion or risk their
eternal salvation, U.S. bishops said
Wednesday.
Political choices faced by citizens
have an impact on general peace and
prosperity and also may affect the
individuals salvation, the bishops
said. Similarly, the kinds of laws and
policies supported by public officials
affect their spiritual well-being.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops overwhelmingly adopted the
statement, Forming Consciences for
Faithful Citizenship, as they ended
the public session of their fall meet-
ing.
They have offered similar guid-
ance to Catholics before every presi-
dential race since 1976.
While the 30-plus-page document
touches widely on Catholic social
justice teaching, the bishops said that
fighting abortion should be a prior-
ity.
The direct and intentional
destruction of innocent human life
is always wrong and is not just one
issue among many, the bishops said.
It must always be opposed.
Catholics make up one-quarter
of the electorate nationwide, but do
not vote as a bloc, and often do not
follow the bishops political guid-
ance. Surveys indicate that most
dont choose candidates based on
that persons position on abortion. In
the current election season, none of
the leading presidential candidates
has been reliably anti-abortion.
The bishops said that voting for a
candidate specifically because he or
she supports an intrinsic evil, such
as abortion or racism amounted to
formal cooperation in grave evil.
The document did not address
whether Catholics who violate this
guidance should continue to receive
Holy Communion.
When you look at eternal salva-
tion, God is the only judge, said
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, of the
Diocese of Brooklyn, N.Y. All we
have the ability to do is to warn
people.
The bishops said helping the poor
should be a priority in government,
providing health care, taking in refu-
gees and protecting workers rights,
and the bishops highlighted the need
for environmental protection.
However, they also opposed same-
sex marriage, euthanasia and embry-
onic stem cell research, in addition to
their staunch anti-abortion position.
The prelates, who oppose the
death penalty, said torture is always
wrong, and expressed serious
moral concerns about preventive
use of military force. But in a very
brief floor debate Wednesday before
the vote, they heightened their lan-
guage on terrorism, adding a sen-
tence acknowledging the continu-
ing threat of fanatical extremism and
global terror.
In recent years, some independent
Catholics groups have been distrib-
uting their own voter booklets, with
theological conservatives empha-
sizing abortion and liberal-leaning
groups highlighting church teaching
on war, poverty and social justice.
The bishops urged Catholics to
only use voter resources approved
by the church.

Huma Khan said she saw a posi-
tive future for Pakistan despite the
recent turmoil. She said there was a
chance to revitalize the leadership.
Khan, Kansas City, Kan., gradu-
ate student, along with four oth-
ers, participated in a panel discus-
sion Wednesday afternoon called
Turmoil in Pakistan: What are the
Options?
The discussion was sponsored
by International Programs as part
of International Education Week.
On Nov. 2, General Pervez
Musharraf declared a state of emer-
gency in Pakistan, halting general
elections until January, thus keep-
ing himself in power.
Elif Andac, assistant professor
of sociology, said there was a call
for the United States to do some-
thing about the situation, especially
because Pakistan is a U.S. ally.
What just happened in Pakistan
was a very clear violation of democ-
racy, Andac said.
Rauf Arif, Pakistan gradu-
ate student, spoke on the panel
from the perspective of the average
Pakistani. Arif worked as a journal-
ist in Pakistan before he came to
the University. He said Musharraf
appeared to legitimize his actions
by taking refuge under the war on
terror, and the United States had
not yet taken action because of a
vested interest in the regime.
Common people see President
Bush standing behind Musharraf,
a brutal dictator, Arif said. The
United States should try to make
friends from within the people of
Pakistan rather than the dictators.
Bill Lambert, assistant profes-
sor in the Department of Joint and
Multinational Operations at the
U.S. Army Command and General
Staff College at Fort Leavenworth,
said he predicted Musharraf s
actions during a lecture on Oct.
31. He said the Supreme Court
of Pakistan caused a constitutional
crisis by telling Musharraf he could
run for president again before rul-
ing whether it was legal.
Lamberts research suggested
that the greatest points in economic
prosperity were during times of
martial law, and he said he expected
another military coup in the near
future.

RALEIGH, N.C. Barack
Obama, whos been scolding Hillary
Rodham Clinton for not hastening
the release of records from her time
as first lady, says he cant step up and
produce his own records from his
days in the Illinois state Senate.
He says he doesnt have any.
I dont have I dont maintain
a file of eight years of work in the
state Senate because I didnt have the
resources available to maintain those
kinds of records, he said at a recent
campaign stop in Iowa.
Obamas statement that he has
no papers from
his time in the
Illinois state-
house he left
in 2004 stands
in stark contrast
to the massive
Clinton file stored
at the National
Archives: an
estimated 78
million pages
of documents,
plus 20 million
e-mail messages,
packed into 36,000 boxes. While any
file from Obamas time in the state
Senate would be far smaller, the idea
that no papers exist at all is ques-
tioned by one historian.
Most of those guys do keep this
stuff, especially the favorable stuff.
Theyve all got egos, said Taylor
Pensoneau, a historian who has writ-
ten about Illinois legislators and gov-
ernors and worked with them as a
lobbyist for the coal industry.
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt
said Wednesday that Obama has a
track record of leading the way on
reform and disclosure, adding that
correspondence with state agencies
and records of requests Obama made
to them on behalf of his constituents
are available to the public and have
been accessed by our opponents and
members of the news media.
Pressed for details, LaBolt said
Obama did not keep any correspon-
dence with the general public. Ditto
for letters to or from state asso-
ciations and lobbyists, memos on
legislation and correspondence with
Illinois state agencies. The campaign
said Illinois agencies had copies of
his requests for
i n f o r ma t i o n
or help, but
accessing those
records would
involve contact-
ing the agencies
and asking them
to comb though
eight years of
records to find
correspondence
from Obama.
Meanwhi l e,
the campaign of
John Edwards
Clinton and Obamas leading
rival for the Democratic nomination
said Wednesday it would release
the records from his single term
representing North Carolina in the
U.S. Senate.
Senator Edwards will release the
records from his Senate office and
is committed to getting this done
as quickly as possible, said spokes-
woman Colleen Murray.
Obama criticized Clinton during
a debate in Philadelphia at the end
of October, comparing her record
on records to the Bush administra-
tion and saying the country had just
gone through one of the most secre-
tive administrations in our history.
Clintons papers from her time as
first lady, including her work lead-
ing a controversial health care task
force in her husbands first term,
are held at the National Archives
and Records Administration. The
Clinton campaign has said that nei-
ther she nor husband Bill Clinton can
do anything to speed the process of
review at the National Archives that
must precede the papers becoming
public.
Every president can, and usually
does, exercise a right to withhold
some documents for up to 12 years
after leaving office. Bill Clinton
wrote in a 2002 letter that he did not
want the agency to release commu-
nications between the first lady and
him for that period.
Obama hasnt always claimed
there were no papers left from his
time in the state Senate. Earlier this
year, campaign spokesman LaBolt
asked The Associated Press to nar-
row a request for records on whether
Obama had ever urged clemency for
a convicted criminal.
Youre asking us to do an
extremely exhaustive search into
every record we have from the U.S.
Senate and state Senate offices,
LaBolt said at the time. At the news
conference in Iowa last week, Obama
said he didnt have a whole bunch of
records from those years, but told
reporters to let us know if there
are particular documents that you
are interested in.

A standardized exit exam is unreasonable
Graduation assessments could provide valuable insight, but must be tailored to diferent academic disciplines
O
n Oct. 29, the Uni-
versity Senate an-
nounced the pos-
sibility of learner outcome
assessments as a requirement
for future graduates. The Sen-
ate elected a task force that will
conduct research regarding the
variety of learner outcome pro-
grams.
The research will last until
the task force will make their
recommendation back to the
University Senate in December
2008. Learner outcome assess-
ments would require outgoing
students to complete either an
interview or test that would pro-
vide information regarding the
skills that have been developed
as undergraduates.
Tests would provide the
University with the answer of
whether graduates are prepared
to venture out into the work-
force and adulthood.
However, for this test to be
benefcial to all those involved,
it needs to be done correctly. In
order to give all students a fair
assessment, no one test should
be issued to every undergradu-
ate and different majors should
entail different outcome assess-
ments.
For example, it seems unrea-
sonable that an engineering ma-
jor and a history major should
be expected to take the same
test, given that their courses are
different. They each learn differ-
ent things for different purposes,
requiring different tests for dif-
ferent concentrations. How to
issue these tests will be part of
the work and research that the
elected task force will conduct
and complete.
Not only could the tests be
benefcial to the University on
assessing students knowledge
and skills developed, they could
also provide faculty and staff
with a way to assess their own
methods. Our skills develop-
ment directly correlates to the
information we are receiving.
Upon exit assessment, if a
student does not ft the profle
of a capable adult, according
the University, along with the
student and their studying hab-
its, perhaps one will begin to
look to other areas that might
need improvement to help fu-
ture students reach that profle.
We as students will succeed to
the standard in which we set for
ourselves. However without the
tools and the resources to reach
those standards, our success
could be halted.
The possibility of such tests is
still years off, but beginning the
process now, which is in part
practiced by various depart-
ments, allows the University
that much more of an advantage
in perfecting the process.

SUA events should
have broader appeal
Booking acts that have a narrow audience leaves
some students wondering what they paid for
Y
ou know, last time I
checked, when some-
body pays for some-
thing, it is not unreasonable for
that person to expect to receive
something useful in return.
Which is why I have been so
confused recently about the ac-
tions of Student Union Activi-
ties.
You see, when we pay our
student fees and a fraction of
that goes to them, we are con-
tracting them to use that money
to do things that should be able
to please as many of the stu-
dents at this school as possible.
Yet for some reason, they are
unable to comprehend this and
have repeatedly used it to bring
entirely too esoteric events to
our school.
I am not some tight-panted,
fancy-haired sissy, and neither
are the majority of KUs red-
blooded good ol boys. And as
a result, I am not interested in
listening to the music of those
people, live or otherwise. So
why is SUA using our mon-
ey to bring artists like Spoon
and Bright Eyes to perform? I
dont want to listen to any art-
ist named after a utensil. Except
for Foghat. They freakin rule.
If SUA wants to entertain those
people, why dont they just have
weekly Donnie Darko screen-
ings? That should keep them
satisfed.
No, instead SUA should be-
ing using the students funds to
fund entertainment the majority
of us would be likely to enjoy.
The following are a few sug-
gestions:
A demolition derby. Vastly
preferable to hearing some
ennui-soaked post-adoles-
cents that refuse to grow up
croon about their pain for an
hour, this would cause some
real, tangible and long-lasting
pain to a select few of the ar-
eas fnest, as they incur whip-
lash and other accident-related
injuries while attempting to ruin
the other drivers rides. Yes,
there is the derby at the county
fair, but that is only once a year.
And that is not nearly enough
for our needs.
Professional wrestling. Pro-
fessional wrestling is one of the
most popular American forms
of entertainment. How can SUA
deny the importance of a com-
modity that Donald Trump has
taken a stake in by purchasing
it? He is a shrewd man that
knows quality when he sees it.
And we would do well to emu-
late this mans entertainment
acumen.
Monster trucks. This may
seem a bit like the frst proposal
in the motorized mayhem, but
frankly they are independent art
forms, though their similarities
do allow a near magical com-
patibility. On another note, nos-
talgia has reigned in our culture
recently in TV shows and mov-
ies. And who doesnt remember
watching monster truck legends
like Bigfoot and Gravedigger on
an early morning Count Chocu-
la fueled rowdy couch jumping
festival of youth?
These are just a few of the
things the SUA could do to im-
prove their event calendars. Al-
though anything would be pref-
erable to the whiners they keep
bringing now.

well. Im one-third this mans
age, I think to myself. Yet hes

CouldI think I can, I think I
can. I call him a societal tran-
sistor; he seems to like that.
Im speaking with White
Owl, or Jimmy Neil Tucker, or
Saul (as hes known in Kansas
City). Whatever you call him,
it doesnt matter. Its still him.
I consider White Owl a so-
cietal transistor. You may see
White Owl and strike up a con-
versation with a stranger about
him. He makes people meet
other people just by existing.
He makes connections; theres
something important to that.
We spoke for two hours,
shifting from place to place as
buildings and rooms closed.
This man is no jive turkey. Hes
seen a lot. A previous student at
KU and a Vietnam War veteran,
he now does research on Agent
Orange for a book hes writing,
in-between going to classes for
free as an elderly person. Most
individuals know White Owl as
the man who hangs out on Wes-
coe Beach yelling, Wake Up!
I hope I create that in peo-
ple; the ability to think for them-
selves, not for me. I am not a
leader. I am just a messenger to
wake them up. Thats what my
wake up is about, White Owl
said.
I had always thought it was
to get people in motion to go to
class; I seemed to have this man
all wrong.
Contrary to what some stu-
dents believe, hes not homeless.
Hes well read, well versed in
biblical texts, hes not a pusher
of drugs or ideals and he loves
those who dislike him.
I dont care what they be-
lieve. I just want them to believe
in themselves, White Owl said.
Hes a staple of the University
as much as say the Campanile.
He represents what higher edu-
cation is supposed to be about:
thinking, learning, acceptance
and ideas that stretch outside of
the box.
He told me several stories,
ranging from beating prostate
and brain cancer with frank-
incense, myrrh and prayer, to
Russian double agents threaten-
ing his life, to attaining doctoral
degrees in music at Oxford
whether the stories are apocry-
phal or true is not what matters.
What matters is the message
he sent me. I left my meeting
with this man feeling sure that
I could do anything I damn well
pleased.
I felt inspired.

NEW YORK Gleaning stem
cells from cloned monkey embryos,
as a team of Oregon researchers has
done, is an impressive step. But it
probably wont lead to medical treat-
ments any time soon.
One hurdle is ethical and polit-
ical. Human embryos have to be
destroyed to produce stem cells. That
has aroused opposition to human
embryonic stem cell research, and
it led the Bush administration
to restrict federal funding for it.
Scientists say that has slowed the
effort.
Another hurdle is the inefficiency
of the process. Even if the method
described by scientists Wednesday
works in humans, it would demand
too much of a precious resource
womens unfertilized eggs.
The promise of producing stem
cells by cloning is that they can be
genetically matched to a particu-
lar patient. So theoretically, doctors
should be able to transplant tissue
created from them into that person
without tissue rejection. And pre-
sumably, such transplants could help
treat such conditions as diabetes and
spinal cord injury.
The process used in the new
experiment is quite inefficient,
Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon
National Primate Research Center in
Portland told reporters Wednesday.
He and his colleagues reported
getting two batches of stem cells that
required using about 150 monkey
eggs apiece. Thats far too many if
one hopes to use human unfertil-
ized eggs, which are cumbersome to
obtain from women.
If further work can get that down
to maybe five to 10 eggs per stem cell
batch, we will be closer to clinical
applications, Mitalipov said.
I am quite sure it will work in
humans, he added.
But then theres another issue
showing that such stem cells really
can be used to treat diseases safely.
Mitalipov said he planned to do dia-
betes studies in monkeys.
For now, he and other scientists
said, the new work was valuable
for showing that stem cells can be
produced through cloning in mon-
keys. Its been done in mice, but
scientists had long been frustrated
in their attempts in primates, where
the research would be more relevant
to humans.
The new work was published
online Wednesday by the scientific
journal Nature.

TRUJILLO ALTO, Puerto Rico
Back roads, gorges and garbage
dumps on this tropical island are lit-
tered with the decaying carcasses of
dogs and cats. An Associated Press
investigation reveals why: possibly
thousands of unwanted animals have
been tossed off bridges, buried alive
and otherwise inhumanely disposed
of by taxpayer-financed animal con-
trol programs.
Witnesses who spoke with the AP
said that, despite
pledges to deliver
adoptable strays
to shelters and
humanely eutha-
nize the rest, the
islands leading
private animal
control compa-
nies generally did
neither.
News that
live animals had
been thrown to
their deaths from a bridge reached
the public last month when Animal
Control Solutions, a government
contractor, was accused of inhu-
manely killing some 80 dogs and cats
seized from three housing projects
in the town of Barceloneta. A half
dozen survived the fall of at least
50 feet.
The AP probe, which included
visits to two sites where animals were
slaughtered, found the inhumane
killings were far more extensive than
that one incident. The AP saw and
was told about a scale of brutality
far beyond even what animal welfare
activists suspected, stretching over
the last eight years.
A $22.5-million lawsuit against
Animal Control Solutions and city
officials including those who
helped round up the animals was
filed on behalf of 16 Barceloneta fam-
ilies whose dogs or cats were seized
under rules prohibiting pets in the
city projects. The animals deaths
show a cold and depraved heart and
has stirred public outrage around the
whole world, the lawsuit says.
Julio Diaz,
owner of
Animal Control
Solutions and a
co-founder of
another compa-
ny, Pet Delivery,
declined AP
requests for an
interview but
told reporters
there is no proof
his company was
responsible for
the Barceloneta pet massacre. We
have never thrown animals off any
place, he said.
A police investigation into the
Barceloneta killings has not led to charg-
es, but police Sgt. Wilbert Miranda,
who heads the probe, said the informa-
tion gathered so far indicated Animal
Control Solutions was responsible. He
declined to give details.
Maria Kortright, a lawyer involved
in the suit, said it was clear the pets
Animal Control Solutions removed
from Barceloneta were the same
ones hurled off the bridge because
the survivors had been identified by
their owners.
Animal welfare activists have
complained to government agen-
cies for years about allegations of
improper disposal of animals, but
say officials didnt act. Preventive
action also is almost nonexistent:
Puerto Rico has at least 100,000 stray
dogs and cats and no island-wide
spaying or neutering programs.
Activist Alfredo Figueroa said the
animal disposal companies acted with
impunity because government agencies
ignored allegations of cruelty, rather
than investigate the companies or
address the overpopulation of strays.
There is apathy, Figueroa said.
No one wants to take responsibil-
ity.

WASHINGTON President
Bush welcomed Michael Mukasey
back into government Wednesday
and promised to help the new attor-
ney general rebuild the top lead-
ership of the beleaguered Justice
Department.
Speaking at Mukaseys ceremoni-
al oath-taking, Bush said the retired
federal judge will bring clear pur-
pose and resolve to the agency.
As he embarks on his new
responsibilities, Michael Mukasey
has my complete trust and confi-
dence, Bush told a packed ceremo-
ny at the Justice Departments Great
Hall. Agency employees filled the
hall and lined the balcony to watch
their new boss take the ceremonial
oath from Supreme Court Chief
Justice John Roberts.
Bush also promised to announce
today nominees to fill some of
the dozen vacant senior leader-
ship jobs in the department, which
has been in a state of upheaval
since a series of controversies
including the dismissals of federal
prosecutors led to the resigna-
tion of Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales.
When Bush praised Gonzales
as a man of integrity and decen-
cy, Justice Department employees
responded with sustained applause.
It got even louder moments later
after Mukasey took the oath, for-
mally ending the Gonzales chapter
in the agencys history.
Mukasey, who also worked in
the Justice Department early in his
career as a trial prosecutor in New
York, said its great to be back.
He promised to make sure the
Justice Department follows an
unswerving allegiance to the law
and the Constitution.
Though he was officially sworn
in last week to begin work, Mukasey
said he did not feel he had become
the attorney general until taking the
oath in front of his employees.
My job involves not only an
oath, but also a pledge, which I now
give you, Mukasey told the 110,000
Justice employees nationwide, some
of whom watched on the depart-
ments internal TV system.
And that is to use all of the
strength of mind and body that I
have to help you to continue to pro-
tect the freedom and the security of
the people of this country, and their
civil rights and liberties, through
the neutral and evenhanded appli-
cation of the Constitution and the
laws enacted under it.
He said he would ask myself
in every decision I make whether
it helps you to do that, to take the
counsel not only of my own insights
but also of yours, and to pray that
I can help give you the leadership
you deserve.
Mukasey, 66, inherits a Justice
Department struggling to restore
its independent image with more
than a dozen vacant leadership jobs
and little time to make many chang-
es before another president takes
office. He now has 14 months to
turn it around after almost a year of
scandal that forced Gonzales to quit
and cast doubt on the governments
ability to prosecute cases fairly.
An internal Justice inquiry is
investigating charges that, under
Gonzales, politics were allowed to
influence decisions about prosecut-
ing cases or hiring career attorneys.
The allegations stemmed from an
ongoing congressional inquiry of
last years firings of nine U.S. attor-
neys, and prompted questions about
Gonzales honesty.
Gonzales did not attend the cer-
emony, which lasted only about 14
minutes.

WASHINGTON Three leading
House anti-war Democrats said they
now back a $50 billion bill that funds
the war but calls for most troops
to come home by December 2008.
Their support paves the way for the
bills passage Wednesday.
The trio, California Reps. Lynn
Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine
Waters, represent a liberal anti-war
caucus that last week expressed
opposition to the measure on the
grounds it was too soft and did not
demand an end to combat.
The bill requires that President
Bush initiate troop withdrawals
within 30 days of its passage with the
goal of bringing home most soldiers
and Marines by Dec. 15, 2008.
The White House said Bush
would veto the bill if it comes to him.
Presidential spokeswoman Dana
Perino called the legislation the
height of irresponsibility, charg-
ing Democrats with merely trying
to appease radical groups such as
MoveOn.org and Code Pink.
Once again, the Democratic
leadership is starting this debate with
a flawed strategy, including a with-
drawal date
for Iraq,
despite the
gains our
mi l i t a r y
has made
over the
past year,
despite hav-
ing dozens
of similar
votes in the
past that
have failed,
and despite
their pledge
to support
the troops,
she said. Democrats believe that
these votes will somehow punish the
president, but it actually punishes
the troops.
A provision added to the bill,
to satisfy liberal caucus members,
states that the primary purpose of
the $50 billion included in the bill
should be to transition the mission
and redeploy troops in Iraq, not to
extend or prolong the war.
The measure is largely a sym-
bolic jab at Bush, who has already
begun withdrawing some troops but
fiercely rejects the notion of setting a
timetable for the war.
While this bill is not perfect,
it is the strongest Iraq bill to date,
the Democratic trio wrote in a joint
statement. This is the first time that
this Congress has put forth a bill
that ties funding to the responsible
redeployment of our troops, and it
also includes language mandating a
start date for the president to begin
the redeployment of our brave men
and women.
Woolsey, Lee and Waters said
they remained disappointed that the
2008 date was a nonbinding goal that
Bush could ignore. But, they said
they realized the provision made it
more likely that the Senate could
pass it.
This is a concrete step in the
right direction, and an important
marker for this Congress to lay
down, they wrote.
House Majority Leader Steny
Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters on
Wednesday that he anticipates the
bill will pass.
Similar legislation has repeat-
edly passed along party lines in the
House only to sink in the Senate,
where Democrats hold a razor-thin
majority and 60 votes are needed to
overcome procedural hurdles.
It is expected that if the measure
fails in the Senate, Democrats will
not consider Bushs war spending
request until next year.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid said Tuesday that if it does pass
and Bush rejects the bill, then the
president wont get his $50 billion.
The money included in the bill
represents about a quarter of Bushs
$196 billion war spending request
for the 2008 budget year, which
began Oct. 1.

Governor abandons illegal immigrant drivers license plan
AssociAted Press
WASHINGTON New York
Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced
Wednesday he was abandoning a
plan to issue drivers licenses to
illegal immigrants, but said that the
federal government had lost con-
trol of its borders and left states to
deal with the consequences.
I have concluded that New York
state cannot successfully address
this problem on its own, Spitzer
said at a news conference after
meeting with members of the states
congressional delegation.
Spitzer said overwhelming oppo-
sition led to his decision.
The Democratic governor intro-
duced the plan two months ago with
the goal of increased security, safer
roads and an opportunity to bring
immigrants out of the shadows.
Opponents charged the scheme
would make it easier for would-be
terrorists to get identification, and
make the country less safe.
The decision is another exam-
ple of the roadblocks that high-
profile immigration reforms have
faced this year. Less than five months
ago, Congress failed to pass legisla-
tion that would legalize as many as
12 million unlawful immigrants and
fortify the border with Mexico.
The federal government has lost
control of its borders, has allowed
millions of undocumented immi-
grants to enter our country and
now has no solution to deal with it,
Spitzer said.
Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff called Spitzers
reversal on the license issue a good
development and said immigra-
tion is a federal issue for which
his department has to ramp up
enforcement.

The culmination of Katie Hunts
two years of work came to an end
on Tuesday night, and the victory
was sweet.
When it was announced that Hunt,
Memphis, Tenn., junior, had won the
top spot in this years Student Union
Activities Project Runway event,
she felt excited, especially after losing
last years competition. As the win-
ner, Hunt received a chance to have
her work displayed in Epic Apparel,
located at 11 W. 9th St., a subscrip-
tion to Vogue and a $200 check.
There to celebrate was Hunts mom
and dad, who drove from Memphis
and Alaska to support what Hunt
said was a great victory.
It was such a whirlwind thing
so much went into the competi-
tion, Hunt said, from the models
helping me, to my parents coming
for support. It was and just is really
exciting.
Hunt said her participation in last
years show helped her in this years
competition. She said she took what
she learned and used the two models
she used last year to create her pieces
for this years competition, but didnt
buckle down to work until Nov. 8.
The past two weeks have really
been so crazy with finals coming up
and preparing, so I really didnt start
until Thursday, Hunt said. I really
just blocked out my schedule for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday and
spent all of my time working on my
designs.
Molly Gaeckle, Sioux Falls, S.D.,
said Hunts fashion style was great
and that she earned the top spot.
Everything that went down the
runway was impressive all of the
girls in the competition have great
talent, Gaeckle said. Katie created
classy garments, and it was obvious
she put in a lot of hard work and
thought into details.
Hunt said her designs were
inspired by Landing, a brand of
clothing, and her own sense of style.
I like Landing because their stuff
is classy but young and unexpected;
they have twists, she said. Hunt said
her own taste was similar.
I like to collect unusual and
unique things. I really just look
through my own stuff, and when I
want to wear a necklace, for example,
I base my designs around it, she
said.
Hunt said she was grateful to do
what she wanted for a career. When
Hunt grew up, most of her family
members were into sewing and were
her inspiration to try fashion design.
I was never pressured to rake
in the money, so I figured I cant
go wrong doing something I like,
Hunt said. I am very grateful of my
familys support.
While Hunt was glad to win
Tuesday nights competition, she said
fashion design was more of a hobby.
Hunt is majoring in textile design
and architectural studies and minor-
ing in French and art history, with
hopes of attending graduate school
to major in architecture. She said her
grandfather attended the University
and majored in architecture, which
played a role in her decision to earn
an architecture degree. She also said
fashion and architecture were simi-
lar.
I like to design things on a big
scale, similar to clothes, Hunt said.
I like to see how things go together
so I think the two mix.
James Larsen, Salina sopho-
more, attended the show and said he
thought Hunt had talent in fashion.
I think she has a great talent so
I would encourage her to pursue it,
Larsen said. I think she is a name to
look for.

at least three of its nonconference opponents.
Central Michigan, Kansas toughest noncon-
ference opponent, was the reigning MAC
champions and will be playing for the cham-
pionship again this year. No one knew Kansas
would blow out the Chippewas 52-7.
Now, Kansas is 10-0 and in the drivers
seat for the Big 12 Championship. After
starting the season unranked, Kansas is No.
3 in the BCS standings, and the only unde-
feated team from a BCS conference.
To highlight Kansas record, here are the top
10 unexpected reasons why Kansas is 10-0:
10. Kerry Meier
The sophomore quarterback looked to be the
future of Kansas passing game until sophomore
Todd Reesing beat him out for the starting posi-
tion. Many college athletes in similar situations
before would complain or even decide
to transfer after losing the starting
quarterback job. Instead, Meier
did everything he could to
help the team out, whether
it be filling in for punts
when senior punter Kyle
Tucker is having an
off day, or making a
key reception when
the receiving corps
is dropping passes,
or even making a
halfback pass to throw defenses off.
Meier is a jack of all trades.
9. White OWl
Kansas newest mascot/spiritual motivator
can often be found on Wescoe beach yelling,
Rock Chalk! Go KU! Go KU! His presence at
home football games this season has brought a
sense of optimism and pride that Kansas football
has quite possibly never seen. His cheers and
dances have been shown on ESPN, Fox Sports,
collegehumor.com and YouTube. Some may call
it a coincidence that Kansas is 10-0 since White
Owl came to Kansas, others would not. Either
way, for good measure, White Owl needs to be
at every game the rest of the season.
8. the fall Of traditiOnal
pOWerhOuses
No team that has been
considered a traditional
power in the nation
has gone through
the season
without some
embarrassing
losses. Some
of these tradi-
tional powers,
such as Notre
Dame and
Nebraska,
even have losing records.
Notre Dame may be
having its worst season
since the Protestant
Reformation. Michigan
lost to Appalachian
State and USC lost 24-
23 to Stanford. Even the
defending national champions,
Florida, have lost three games. Each
loss by these perennial powerhouses has
made Kansas 10-0 record look more and
more impressive and helped catapult Kansas
to the top of the rankings.
7. the Offensive line
With the graduation of three senior linemen
last season, there was a big question of whether
anyone would be able to fill the vacancy in
Kansas offensive line this year. Senior tackle Cesar
Rodriguez was thought to be a solid lineman and
junior tackle Anthony Collins was expected to
be phenomenal, but the question remained of
whether junior guards Adrian Mayes and Chet
Hartley and junior center Ryan Cantrell would be
able to perform. With Kansas offense ranked 10th
overall in the nation, after being ranked 33rd last
season, this years line has been crucial this season.
6. the dual threat running
gaMe Of jaKe sharp and
brandOn McandersOn
Sophomore halfback Jake Sharp and senior
fullback Brandon McAnderson have a combined
total of 1,654 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns.
McAnderson looks to be improving with each
step he takes this season, and with 15 touchdowns
this season, he is well on his way to breaking June
Henleys record of 17 touchdowns in one season.
5. highWay tO heaven
Before this season, the theme song
for Kansas football road games would
likely have been the hit AC/DC song
Highway to Hell. Before the season,
Kansas was 4-21 on the road under coach
Mark Mangino. This seasons 4-0 record
was the first time the Jayhawks have gone
undefeated on the road since 1968.
4. ed Warinner
Last season, Kansas scoring offense
was ranked 29th overall in the nation,
averaging 29
points per game.
Despite having the 29th
highest scoring offense, the
Jayhawks lost two games in
overtime and three games
in the fourth quarter. This
seasons offense, under
offensive coordinator Ed
Warinner, is ranked second in the nation, and
there is no doubt as to whether Kansas can score
at any given moment.
3. three defensive
bacKs WithOut the
jersey nO. 3
In the off-season, Kansas want-
ed to improve the worst passing
defense and No. 81 scoring defense
in the nation. Last season, Aqib Talib
was the only defensive back that quar-
terbacks were afraid to throw at. This season,
Kansas has been much better at defending the
pass, with the No. 2 ranked pass defense in the
Big 12 and No. 2 ranked scoring defense in the
nation. Junior defensive backs Patrick Resby and
Kendrick Harper and sophomore Darrell Stuckey
are three reasons why teams have had trouble
scoring against Kansas.
2. tOdd reesing
The sophomore quarterback is having the
best season of any Kansas quarterback ever.
Nicknamed Sparky by coach Mark Mangino
for his energetic personality and play, Reesing is
putting up better numbers than former Boston
College quarterback Doug Flutie. Flutie, known
for his legendary Hail Mary pass against Miami
in 1984, is regarded as one of the best short
quarterbacks in college football history. Judging
by how well Kansas defense has played this
season, Reesing may never have to make a leg-
endary pass to win a game.
1. MarK ManginO
While other teams on top of the BCS stand-
ings have lost games, Kansas has persevered
through 10 games undefeated. The main reason
for this is the sixth-year coach. Week in and week
out, Mangino has continued to show his genius
as a coach, which is reflected in all aspects of the
game. Kansas happens to be the least
penalized team in the nation, showing
how well disciplined the football team
is. Not even the service academies,
Army, Navy and Air Force, which
all rank in the top 10, have better
disciplined football teams than
Kansas. With Kansas having pos-
sibly its best season ever, itd be
absurd if Mangino were not given
the National Coach of the Year
Award.

When prompted to recall past match-ups
against Iowa State, Joe Mortensen bypassed
last years run-of-the-mill 41-10 trouncing
and thought back two years to Nov. 26, 2005.
A couple of years ago, to get bowl-eli-
gible, we beat Iowa State right before the Big
12 Championship, Mortensen said. They
were ranked and maybe already looking into
it. We came out and beat them and didnt
have too much to lose.
Its only natural for the junior linebacker
to cherish the 24-21 overtime victory: Not
only did it vault the Jayhawks into the Fort
Worth Bowl, but it also served as a breakout
game for some of the teams current stars,
including tight end Derek Fine and wide
receivers Marcus Henry and Dexton Fields.
Fine, a sophomore at the time, had estab-
lished himself as Kansas starting tight end
earlier in the 2005 season, but enjoyed one
of his finest efforts in the season finale. He
made three catches for 51 yards, including
a season-long 25-yard grab that set up a late
touchdown. On the ensuing two-point con-
version, Fine secured a pass in the end zone
that tied the game at 14-14.

Iowa State coach Gene Chizik hasnt
exactly turned the Cyclones into a national
powerhouse in his first year at the helm.
Iowa State, who plays at Kansas on Saturday,
is ranked last in the Big 12 North Division
with a 3-8 record. But Kansas coach Mark
Mangino, who knows a thing or two about
inheriting poor football teams, said Chizik
had done a good job in his first season.
They are much, much improved from
the beginning of the season, Mangino
said. Thats what you look for when you
are a new head coach, and thats something
they are doing.
No one would argue with Manginos
feelings on the Cyclones improvement
because the team has clearly played its best
football in the last two weeks. After a 1-8
start, it looked like it would be a winless
conference season for Iowa State.
But in consecutive weeks, Chiziks team
has upset both Kansas State and Colorado.
The Cyclone offense has started to click, scor-
ing 31 points in each of its last two games,
and the defense has come up with big stops
at critical times. So what does Chizik think is
making the difference for his players?
I dont really know, Chizik said. I
think you get into the season, and they
have a certain comfort level with what
youre doing and the system. They become
more familiar with what were running.
They also learned how to overcome
major deficits. The Cyclones started disas-
trously against the Buffaloes last week and
trailed 21-0 at halftime.
Chizik described his teams first half as
uninterested and said nothing was work-
ing, offensively or defensively. But Iowa
State came out in the second half calm and
determined and scored 31 points to defeat
Colorado, 31-28. Chizik even said he was
surprised by the games final 30 minutes.
We kind of refocused and regrouped in
the second half, Chizik said. We really didnt
see this particular team being able to come
back from a 21-0 deficit and win the game
after basically sleepwalking in the first half.
Iowa States victory the week before,
against Kansas State, came in a completely
opposite fashion. The Cyclones jumped out
to an early 21-3 lead in the first half behind
two touchdowns from freshman running
back Alexander Robinson.
But Iowa State found itself holding on by
a thread in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats
cut the deficit to a touchdown with one quar-
ter left before falling 31-20 to the Cyclones.
The past two weeks prove that Chiziks
team knows how to win games. The
Jayhawks wouldnt have it any other way.
Kansas junior defensive end John Larson
said the Cylcones victories have kept him
and his teammates focused.
Now weve seen what theyre capable
of, which is good, Larson said. Were not
going to be caught off balance.

Diving team to compete in
Houston Diving Invitational
The Kansas diving team will
compete in the Houston Diving
Invitational this weekend, just a
few days after claiming a team
victory at Drury University on
Saturday.
The Houston Diving Invitational
will feature top-level competition
in the biggest test for the Jayhawks
so far this season. Kansas is coming
of great success against Drury
University on Saturday, in which
the team swept all of the diving
and swimming events.
Kansas already has had two
divers, senior Jenny Roberts and
freshman Erin Mertz, qualify for the
NCAA Zone D Diving Meet, which
will be held in early March.
This weekends competition
begins today and will last through
Saturday. Preliminary competitions
will be held today and tomorrow,
along with the fnal competitions
for each event. The combined
platform fnal will take place on
Saturday morning.
Scott Toland
Kck the Kwnswn
Very little. Kansas is on the third

stage of its Tour de Kansas. The
Jayhawks played Pittsburg State
and Fort Hays State in the exhibi-
tion season, and now Washburn
travels into Allen Fieldhouse. The
Division II MIAA coaches picked
the Ichabods to fnish ninth in
the conference, behind both
Pittsburg State and Fort Hays
State, so dont expect much from
Washburn. The Ichabods do have
experience playing against a
good Division I program. They
lost at UNLV 77-47 on Nov. 6. This
game may technically be a regu-
lar season game, but its really
more exhibition-lite. Washburn
will simply want to play hard and
make the most of its trip into
Allen Fieldhouse.
Andrew Meile, 6-foot-2 senior
guard.
Meile played his high school ball
just up the
road at Olathe
South High
School, com-
peting against
the likes of
Matt Klein-
nmann, Brady
Morningstar
and Brennan
Bechard. Meile outplayed them
all in high school, earning frst
team all-state honors and leading
Olathe South to the 2004 6A State
Championship. Meile averaged
9.1 points per game, 3.1 rebounds
and 2.0 assists last season. With
Sherron Collins out, Meile could
give trouble to any Kansas guard
not named Robinson or Chalmers.
Will Washburn make Kansas
look bad?
Washburn fnished 8-19 last
season and are picked to fnish
worse than Pittsburg State and
Fort Hays. Kansas isnt going to lose
this game, but if they produce any-
thing less than a 25-point victory,
fans might be upset. Washburn is
catching Kansas at a good time.
Kansas is missing Brandon Rush
and Sherron Collins, meaning in-
experienced guards will get major
minutes. It is not inconceivable to
think that Washburn could keep
the defcit lower than 20 points.
They wont be intimidated
coming over here. Theyve been
here enough. Their guys know
all our guys through summer
time and things like that. I
anticipate a very scrappy game.
We were preseason No. 1 in the
country and they played us to
six or seven that year. Well get
their best shot and their best
shot is pretty good.
Kansas coach Bill Self
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Andrew Meile, 6-foot-2 senior guard
Meile is Washburns foor general. He can score if he
needs to he had 14 double-fgure scoring games
last season - but his job is to run the ofense. He was
also the only Washburn player to start all 27 games
last year.
Mario Scott, 6-foot-1 sophomore guard
Scott is a transfer from Grand Rapids Community
College. The Grand Rapids, Mich., native averaged
10.8 points, 7.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game
last season.
James Williams, 6-foot-5 junior forward
Williams, a Topeka native, played two seasons at
Cloud County Community College before transfer-
ring to St. Bonaventure last season. Now the former
Highland Park High School star is back playing at
home in Topeka. Williams averaged 3.2 points per
game for St. Bonaventure last season.
Paul Byers, 6-foot-5 junior forward
Byers is a Beatty native who started 19 games last
season for the Ichabods, averaging 7.1 points per
game and 5.0 rebounds.
Darnell Kimble, 6-foot-8 junior forward
Another transfer, Kimball played 25 games at for-
ward for Brown Mackie Community College, averag-
ing 15.0 points per game and 8.0 rebounds. Kimball
shot 58 percent from the feld.
The SixTh man
Grant Hargett, 6-foot-3 senior guard
Hargett, a Minnesota native, played 21
minutes of the bench for Washburn
against UMKC on Tuesday, scoring
12 points. Hargett started 13 game
and played in 25 for Washburn last
season.
A lesson. Kansas needs to learn
how play without Sherron Col-
lins during the next two games
before Arizona comes to town.
Its going to be tough without
Collins. He brings speed and
slashing ability that no one
else can match. Robinson and
Chalmers are quick, but they
cant go from one end of the
court to the other and make
an of-balanced lay-up like
Collins can. Now that Collins is
out, Kansas will lose some of
the speed from its fast-paced
ofense.
Tyrel Reed, freshman guard.
Reed had an impressive debut
last Friday, scoring 11 points
and mak-
ing three
three-point-
ers. Against
UMKC, he
went score-
less. Reed
has the
opportunity
to gain major
minutes now that Collins is
out. He said he never expected
this kind of an opportunity for
minutes early in his career, but
he will have to prove he is ready
to handle it.
Where does the name Icha-
bods come from?
For those who thought Wash-
burns mascot was a nod to
Ichabod Crane, the character
from Washington Irvings The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow,
consider this a free lesson. Ac-
cording to Washburn.edu, the
name actually comes from the
founder of the school, Icha-
bod Washburn. He was born in
Massachusetts in 1798, many
years after one of his descen-
dants arrived on the Mayflow-
er. Washburn is known as the
Father of Wire for his work in
wire manufacturing. Wash-
burn University took his name
because when soon after it
was founded in 1865, Wash-
burn donated money to help
save the school, then known
as Lincoln College.
Its kind of a fne line because
I have them a little screwed up
because the faster you play, the
looser the possession, so theres
not as much pride in getting
stop I thought in all honesty
our guards didnt guard theirs
at all. We have to get better in
that.
Kansas coach Bill Self on how play-
ing fast can be bad for the defense.
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Dont look now, but Robinson has been the best
shooter on the team. Hes made 8 of 15 feld goals,
including 5 of 10 from long range. If Robinson keeps
that up, hes an All-Big 12 First Team candidate.
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
Chalmers has been wonderful in the frst two games
of the season. Turnovers are the only thing bringing
him down. He leads the team with fve of them.
Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard
Self hasnt ofcially given the nod to Stewart, but
he said Stewart would likely start. Its a good choice.
Stewart is averaging 4.5 assists per game, almost as
much as the injured Sherron Collins was averaging.
Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
Arthurs inability to make shots close to the basket is
starting to get irritating. If he wants to be All-Big 12
and a top 10 NBA Draft pick next spring, he needs
to start being more consistent ofensively and that
starts with making the gimmees.
Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11
senior center
Kaun, usually known for
missing easy shots, has made
6 of 8 feld goals on the season.
The bad news is hes shooting
42 percent from the foul line.
The SixTh man
Darnell Jackson 6-foot-8 senior
forward
Outside of Collins, no Kansas player
has played as well as Jackson during
the frst two games. By scoring a ca-
reer-high 21 points last Friday, Jackson
showed he is ready to be more than
just a defensive presence of the bench.

allen FieldhoUSe will rocK iF...
The big men get the ball down low. Sure, Darnell Jack-
son scored 21 points in the frst game of the season,
but other than that, the post players have been a
non-factor. This team has made a living shooting
the long ball in the frst two games. Sherron Collins,
Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers have fred
up 36 three-pointers so far this season, making 16.
Nothing is wrong with that when the team makes
its shots, but trouble always follows when shooters
go cold. Robinson said after the UMKC game that
the guards need to start passing the ball more to
the big men. He said they were the main part of the
ofense.
Phog allen will roll
over in hiS grave iF...
The Jayhawks dont have the game in
control by halftime. The Ichabods are not
very good. Washburn is a Division II school,
just like Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State.
This should be Kansas easiest regular season
game of the year. To blow out Washburn
early, Kansas will have to give a better efort
than it did against UMKC. The Jayhawks made
mistakes and played with a lack of focus for
most of the second half of that game. If they
do that again tonight, the Ichabods could
make this game too close for comfort. They
are comparable with UMKC, evidenced by
their 79-75 loss to the Kangaroos on Tuesday
night.
89-53
The Jayhawks arent going to be able to put points up as quickly as they
did in previous games because Sherron Collins is out. He is the fastest
player on the team. This game should still be a cakewalk as long as Kansas
gives maximum efort.

Fast forward to 2007, and Fine is
a team captain and one of the teams
most well-rounded players. Through
10 games, he has contributed strong
blocking in the run game to go along
with 38 receptions.
In 2005, Marcus Henry was a
lanky receiver with plenty of poten-
tial, but not much to show for it. He
made a pair of key catches in the
final two minutes of the Iowa State
game, helping the Jayhawks march
down the field and force overtime
with 1:05 remaining in regulation.
In 2007, Henry is one of the bright-
est stars on the Kansas offense. Hes
still lanky, but he has outrun and out-
leaped cornerbacks on the way to 46
catches and 19.2 yards per reception.
Henrys transformation from a one-
star recruit to a nationally-recognized
receiver did not happen overnight.
Each and every year hes gotten
a little stronger and gotten a little
faster, Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said. He understands things a little
better. Hes a guy who has kept at it
and got better each and every year.
The Jayhawks No. 1 slot receiv-
er, Dexton Fields, also stood out
for the first time in the 2005 Iowa
State contest. Fields was a freshman
at the time who played in every
game but rarely took snaps with the
offense. When quarterback Brian
Luke found Fields in the end zone
for a 15-yard score to send the game
into overtime, it was his first career
reception. This season, Fields has
added 37 catches to his career total.
Iowa State also had a pair of young
receivers who made an impact in the
2005 matchup and have continued
to contribute. Todd Blythe caught
five passes in the Cyclones loss two
seasons ago and R.J. Sumrall added
a 10-yard reception. Blythe, a senior,
and Sumrall, a junior, have become
Iowa States most potent offensive
weapons. Each has 50 catches this
season and Blythe is averaging more
than 15 yards per catch.

Sherron Collins heard more than
enough sympathy from students when
he returned to class Tuesday after get-
ting surgery for a broken foot.
Im not the type of person to real-
ly get down on myself, said Collins,
a sophomore guard. But people will
be like, Ahhhh were so sorry, are
you all right and oh my God.
Collins doesnt feel sorry for himself
or his team. He said Kansas would do
fine while he was gone for six weeks.
The Jayhawks play Washburn at 7 p.m.
in their first game without Collins.
The foot injury happened Sunday
night against UMKC. Collins drove
hard to the basket for a lay-up and
landed awkwardly. He returned to
the game with his ankle taped, but he
didnt play with same explosiveness.
I knew when I got back out there
something wasnt feeling right, and
it wasnt my ankle, he said. It was
my foot.
Players need to step up for Collins,
who is the teams leading scorer at 16
points per game. Kansas coach Bill
Self said it started with the other two
guards, junior Mario Chalmers and
senior Russell Robinson.
Theres less margin for error in
that if Mario or Russell arent making
shots, then Sherron could, Self said.
Now, those guys need to play well.
They need to stay out of foul trouble.
Without Brandon being full strength,
and without Sherron, we need those
guys to be impact players nightly.
With Collins out, reserves Jeremy
Case, Rodrick Stewart and Tyrel Reed
will also be counted on to contribute
more. Stewart will start tonight against
Washburn and probably for the next
few games until junior guard Brandon
Rush works himself into shape.
Stewart, a senior guard, came off
the bench the first two games and
played well, averaging 4.5 points per
game and was fourth on the team in
assists. Earlier this year, Self called
him the best defender on the team.
No one would have guessed this a
year ago when he was barely getting
off the bench in his second season after
transferring from Southern California.
To be honest, I think last year, I
wouldnt deserve to start at all, Stewart
said. But this year, Ive put in the work
over the summer. Im prepared for stuff
like this. If he wants me to start or come
off the bench, Im going to be a spark
regardless. Im going to bring the energy.
Reed, a freshman guard, said he never
expected the opportunity for this much
playing time. Hell need to play more
consistently to make the best of his extra
minutes. Reed scored 11 points on 4-of-5
shootingFridayagainstLouisiana-Monroe.
It was a different story against UMKC. He
went scoreless innine minutes.
Not only do the Jayhawks need Reed
to become more consistent offensive-
ly, they need him to become a better
defender. Reed started off his college
career by getting burned by a Pittsburg
State player in the first exhibition game.
He said he was still adjusting to the
speed of the college level.
Its just a transition that I have to
get used to, Reed said. Its coming
along. The coaches are real good about
helping me out every day and helping
me get better. Every Division I player is
there for a reason, and everyone is such
a good athlete. Just me going from high
school to college is a big transition.
Reed will be challenged for minutes
by Case, someone who plays a similar
game. Like Reed, he is a shooter who
needs to work on his defense to get
more than the five minutes per game
hes been averaging to start the year.
Whether its Case, Reed or Stewart
who got the majority of the newly avail-
able minutes, Stewart said the team would
be ready to move on without Collins.
This is a time to pull togeth-
er and make this thing work, he
said. Weve been doing this without
Brandon, and now well have to do it
again without Sherron.

Kansas could get a boost from
injured star Brandon Rush against
Washburn tonight.
Doctors have cleared Rush to play
in games, but the final decision is up
to Kansas coach Bill Self. He said he
didnt know if hed let Rush play yet.
Id probably be saying too strongly
if I said one way or another, but hes out
there practicing, Self said Wednesday.
Well evaluate it after today, but I
wont announce whether hell play or
not. It will be a game time decision as
football coaches would say.
If Rush had it his way, hed be on the
court tonight against Washburn. He told
the coaches he wanted to play, especially
before big games coming up against
Arizona and Southern California.
He said he feels no lingering effects
from his May ACL tear and only has to
adjust to the injury mentally. Rush has
been wearing a knee brace since his
rehab started and during fall practices.
Hell have to wear it for at least another
month because of doctors orders.
I dont evenknowwhyImwearingit,
Rushsaid. TheytoldmeIhadtowearit. It
doesnt bother me at all. It gets loose every
nowandthensoI have topull it up.
Kansas success during the past two
years has come largely because of Rush.
He led the team in scoring as a fresh-
man and a sophomore. The Jayhawks
have won two Big 12 regular season
titles and two Big 12 tournament cham-
pionships since he joined the team.
Hes also the main reason they
advanced to the Elite Eight last season.
Rush shot 6-of-6 from the field and made
the final basket of a close 61-58 victory.
Rush still isnt in good enough shape
to be the same player hes been for the
past two years, despite practicing at full
contact for nearly a month. He said he
could play about 10 to 15 minutes and
needed to work on his defense.
After tearing his ACL while
attempting a lay-up during a May pick
up game, Rush was originally sched-
uled to return on Dec. 1. Self said his
only worry was playing Rush before he
was ready for the speed of the game.
Regardless of when he gets out there,
for the first time there will be an adjust-
ment for him, Self said. Hes very capable
of playing well but his timing hasnt been
great. He needs to get out there and get
out there under the lights and do some
things, but certainly were not going to
rush him out there. Weve been slowing
him down just out of precaution.
He wants to be out there. Whether
that happens tomorrow or not, Im
not going to say. But I do see it hap-
pening in the very near future.

Jayhawks compensate for Collins absence
lisa lipovac/KaNSaN
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins is out for six weeks after injuring his foot during the game
against UMKC Sunday. Collins said he knewhis teamwould be fne during his absence.
keeping of the weight
Sherron Collins came to
Kansas last year weighing 227
pounds. It fuctuated through-
out the year, and he played his
best ball in conference play
when he got his weight down.
Now, Collins faces the chal-
lenge of keeping his weight
down, hes at about 200
pounds. while hes injured. He
cant doing any exercise for
three weeks because he cant
get sweat on the cast around
his foot. Collins said hes mo-
tivated to eat right and work
out once he is able to.

Q. Describe the best soccer
game youve ever played in.
A. One of my favorites was the
state fnals championship game in
high school my senior year. It was
the fnal game of my high school
career, and with all the girls I had
played with since kindergarten. It
was the perfect end to a perfect sea-
son we fnished with a 30-0 record,
the frst time it had been done by a
guys or girls team ever in Illinois.
Q. If you could do anything
you wanted for one day, what
would it be and why?
A. Spin the globe with my
eyes closed, put my fnger down
somewhere and go there right
then for a day with all my good
friends. I love doing spur of the
moment and diferent things in
life. It makes life exciting.
Q. What is your favorite brand
of tennis shoes and why?
A. Im a big fan of Puma. I
have a lot of Puma wear. They
make great athletic wear, and it
doesnt hurt that it looks good.
Q. Who is your favorite pro
soccer player?
A. Mia Hamm, of course. She is
an amazing soccer player, great
romodel, and earns women a lot
of respect.
Q. Describe your best KU soc-
cer memory.
A. One of my favorites was na-
tionals two years ago in Tuscaloosa,
Ala. We were in double overtime
competing to play in the fnals,
and it was our last game of the
day playing at 9 at night under the
lights. The other team had a ton of
fans, and we had our guys team
screaming and partying on the
sidelines. We ended up losing in
the last minute with a cheap goal
but every person on our team,
even though completely beyond
tired and exusted, gave every last
shot, sprint down the feld and
everything they had inside of them
that last game of the season. It was
tough losing, but we had gave it
our all, and everyone knew that.
Q. What stereotype of women
soccer players would you like
people to know is NOT true?
A. That it doesnt hurt when
you chest trap a ball for girls even
though guys always think it does.
Just like it doesnt hurt when guys
or girls head a ball. You know the
right way, so it doesnt hurt.
Q. What are you more into, KU
basketball or KU football?
A. I love KU basketball and
always will, but the football team
has done an amazing job this
season, and I hope they take the
national title!
Q. Where is the best place
youve lived in Lawrence and why?
A. Right behind the crossing in
an eight-bedroom house for two
years. It was probably some of the
best memories Ive had in college
and with some of my best friends.
Q. Are you planning on play-
ing soccer after you graduate?
A. I will always play in leagues
and maybe even coach one day,
but no plans of going pro here
Im worth too much. They
couldnt aford me.
Q. If you could take a roadtrip
anywhere, where would it be?
A. Probably down the coast of
California over the course of a week
seeing all the diferent beaches.
Q. What is your favorite work-
out, aside from soccer?
A. I like running at night on
campus during this time of
season with good music.
Q. What is your favorite movie
of all time, and why?
A. One Fine Day George
Clooney is one of my favorites,
and its just such a classic movie.
I got to meet him once, and he is
very down to earth.
Q. If you could have any job
what would it be and why?
A. Working in Chicago (all my
friends and family are there) at a
top advertising agency or Media
buying frm living the good life!
Q. How long have you played
soccer?
A. Since I was fve years old.
Q. What is your favorite Law-
rence hotspot?
A. El Mez.
Q. How long have you played
on the KU club team?
A. Three years.
Q. Whats currently on your
iPod?
A. Hip-hop and all sorts of
other jams.
Q. What are your expectations
for the season?
A. To win nationals.
Q. Do you follow international
soccer?
A. Yes. I love watching interna-
tional soccer. Each individual player
has such a unique style, which
makes every game so fun to watch.
Q. Who is your favorite team
and why?
A. Barcelona is my favorite club
team. Brazil is a pretty sick team.
They have a romantic way of
moving the ball around the feld.
Q. Who do you draw inspira-
tion from and why?
A. Casey Aull. He plays on the
KU mens club team. He is an all
around amazing soccer player
who is inspired daily.
Q. What are you planning on
doing after you graduate?
A. Pursuing a career in nursing
and hopefully, being a traveling
nurse abroad.
Q. Do you think you will con-
tinue to play soccer?
A. Yes. I plan on always playing
on indoor teams and pick up
games since this is my last year
playing for the KU club team.
Q. What was the most interest-
ing class you took at KU?
A. Probably Anatomy. Some-
how I pulled out an A.
Q. What is your greatest indi-
vidual achievement in soccer?
A. I guess just continuing
playing through college. Sticking
with something that I love.
Q. Do you have any rituals that
you perform before a game?
A. A sesame seed bagel with plain
cream cheese and a Berry Propel.

Almost 1,000 miles stands
between the University of Kansas
club soccer teams and the nation-
al tournament. The mens team
opted to drive the 15 1/2 hours to
Pensacola, Fla., and left Tuesday,
while the womens team took
a plane there Wednesday. The
modes of transportation differ,
but the two teams share a goal:
to win the national club soccer
tournament.
The tournament gives the mens
team an opportunity to avenge a
loss in last years championship
game. The womens team sees the
national tournament as a payoff
for all of the its hard work during
the season.
The tournament is particularly
important to the senior players for
each team because it will end their
four-year participation in club soc-
cer at the University.
Katie Feeley, Chicago senior
and member of the womens team,
and Casey Aull, Libertyville, Ill.,
senior and member of the mens
team, will be playing in their final
national tournament. The two
players have led their teams in
four national tournaments, and
they both said they hoped their
last tournament would be a fit-
ting end to their college soccer
careers.
The mens team heads into
the national tournament with a
7-4-2 record, and the womens
team is 13-2-0. The tournament
is Thursday
t h r o u g h
Sunday, and
the teams
will compete
against about
80 other teams
from around
the country.
In the past
three years,
the club teams
have attended
national tour-
naments in Texas, Alabama and
Arizona. Members of both teams
described the national tourna-
ments as the highlight of their
seasons.
The teams are guaranteed three
games and keep playing until they
lose. Even with the busy game
schedules, the two teams still find
time to attend to and cheer at each
others games.
Sarah Pelster, Omaha, Neb.,
junior, said that one of her best
KU soccer memories was cheering
for the mens team last year in the
national tournament finals.
This year marks the seventh
consecutive national tournament
appearance for both club teams.
Sierra Winter, Manhattan,
Kan., junior, said that everyone
needed to be
in sync with
one another,
and that it
would take a
team effort to
s uc c e s s f u l l y
compete in the
tournament.
Kyle Glick,
Wichita senior,
said that his
team felt some
pressure after
last years championship game
appearance, but that playing in one
of the more competitive regions in
the country this season had helped
prepare them for the national
level.
Both teams said they wanted the
seniors to end their college careers
with a first-place medal around
their necks.

Kansas has played with a double-
digit lead in all four of its games this
season, and in three of those the
Jayhawks allowed their opponent
make a run at the lead in the second
half.
Wednesday night, Kansas led by
as much as 25 points in the first half,
only to let UMKC pull within four
before grinding out a 64-58 victory.
You would think that would be
enough that we could keep com-
ing and be more aggressive, but we
didnt. We just got softer and softer,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The inside game was working early
for the Jayhawks, with freshman center
Krysten Boogaard and senior forward
Taylor McIntosh teaming up for 19 first
half points.
For McIntosh, who scored just 3
points in regular season debut on
Sunday, the key was getting off to a
good start.
It gives me more confidence
when I score early, then I kind of get
going, McIntosh said.
Boogaard was solid in the first
half, adding five rebounds and a
block to her 10 points, but she failed
to duplicate that in the second half.
Kansas couldnt rely on sopho-
more Danielle McCray in the sec-
ond half either, because she was on
the bench in foul trouble.
It wasnt a very good experiment,
it blew up on me, Henrickson said
about her decision to leave McCray
in with two fouls early in the game.
The Kangaroos slowly chipped
away at the Kansas lead and brought
themselves back into the game. But
every time the Jayhawks needed a
bucket, they got one.
Sophomore guard Sade Morris
had 10 second-half points, which
helped Kansas keep UMKC from
taking the lead.
McIntosh also finished with 13
points, and pulled down a team
high 12 rebounds to prevent any
second chance opportunities for the
Kangaroos.
As far as an answer to why the
Jayhawks continue to relinquish big
leads, Henrickson had none.
I cant get a pulse on why we
arent being able to hold onto leads
and it is driving me a little nuts right
now, Henrickson said.
In the first half, Kansas held
UMKC to 25 percent shooting from
the floor and capitalized on its mis-
takes with 16 points off turnovers.
However, the Kangaroos matched
Kansas with 16 points off turnovers in
the second half and looked like the bet-
ter team for much of the final minutes.
McIntosh thinks her team may
need to add a killer mentality.
We get a team down and then
everyone kind of lets up, McIntosh
said. When we have someone
down, keep them down.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson
didnt try to hide her frustra-
tion. For the third straight game,
Kansas built more than a 15-
point lead in the first half. For
the third straight game, the
Jayhawks struggled to put the
game away.
Kansas extended its lead to 25
points with three minutes remain-
ing in the first half, only to allow
UMKC go on a 12-3 run to end
the period. In the second half, the
Kangaroos continued the onslaught
by outscoring the Jayhawks 36-26
and falling only six points short of
an upset. Its a trend that mystifies
Henrickson.
If youve got an answer, Im open
to suggestions, she said.
Its also a trend Kansas must
address before the Big 12
Conference season begins. Teams
like Oklahoma, Texas A&M and
Baylor wont let Kansas get away
with the kind of lackluster second-
half performances that it has put on
thus far.
For the most part, Kansas
first-half play has been accept-
able. Its after the break when the
team needs to try to extend leads
instead of just protect them. Its
last three opponents Emporia
State, Hartford and UMKC have
all outscored Kansas in the second
half.
Thats where this team has got
to grow and go for the jugular, so to
speak, Henrickson said.
Sophomore guard Danielle
McCray said the team had to
stay aggressive down the stretch
to maintain double-digit leads.
McCrays overaggression on
defense was one reason for
Kansas timid play in the second
half. Because of foul trouble, she
played only eight minutes in the
closing half, and 15 in the entire
game.
Henrickson said that without
McCray her team looked like it
was playing not to lose and that
the mentality showed in the sta-
tistics. Kansas led 16-3 in points
off turnovers in the first half.
After the break, UMKC outscored
Kansas 16-5 in points off turn-
overs.
Kansas has been fortunate not
to lose despite the second-half
woes. That could change quickly.
The Jayhawks have 11 more non-
conference match-ups to find
their second-half form. If they
dont, victories could become
scarce.

NO. 200
Wednesday nights victory was
the 200th in Bonnie Henricksons
10-year head coaching career.
I am proud for the coaches and
players that have been a part of it,
said Henrickson. You dont win this
many games without great players
and a great staf.
Henrickson started as the head
coach of Virginia Tech in 1997, then
came to Kansas in 2004.
TAKING TURNS
Sunday afternoon, freshman
forward Nicollette Smith was
lighting up the scoreboard with
game highs of 19 points and 10
rebounds.
Wednesday night, freshman
center Krysten Boogaard stepped
up with 10 points, fve rebounds
and a block, all in the frst half.

KLEIN STYMIED
Last season, UMKC senior center
Alysa Klein recorded 16 points, 13
rebounds and seven blocks. This
time around, Kansas was able to
neutralize Kleins ofensive output.
She fnished with fve points on
2-9 shooting, 12 rebounds and
four blocks. In spite of a number
of good looks underneath, Klein
never found her scoring touch.
Henrickson said the team was
prepared to double team Klein if
necessary.

Kansas sent Kansas State an early
message on Wednesday night, and the
No. 12 team in the country responded.
With Kansas holding a one game to
none lead, and leading 26-25 in game
two, K-State was four points away from
trailing Kansas 2-0 on its home floor.
But K-State rallied to take the next
five points, won game two 30-26, and
parlayed that momentum into a 3-1
(21-30, 30-26, 30-14, 30-26) victory.
Obviously a 2-0 game at the
break would have been a lot bet-
ter than a 1-1, Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. But for two hours we
really competed. We didnt always
execute at the best time, but we com-
peted hard and had some really good
efforts out of some players.
Bechard was probably thinking of
junior middle blocker Savannah Noyes,
who led Kansas with 14 kills and a .400
hitting percentage. Noyes did most of her
damage in Kansas game one victory.
But the Wildcats stormed to a
7-1 lead in game two and tied the
match at 1-1 with a 30-26 victory.
K-State performed better in game
three, dominating Kansas 30-14 to
take a 2-1 lead.
K-State continued its torrid pace
in game four as the Wildcats built
a 6-2 lead.
A kill from freshman outside hit-
ter Jenna Kaiser cut the lead to 12-9,
but K-State won the next two points
and pushed the lead back to five
points. A kill from senior middle
blocker Natalie Uhart cut K-States
lead to 19-13, but K-State cruised
from there, winning game four 30-
26 and clinching the match 3-1.
They lead the Big 12 in aces and
they had 12 tonight, Bechard said.
We hadnt seen that much short
serve on tape. They would drive us
back and then short serve us, and
they really took us out our offensive
rhythm. Even after game four we
were convinced we could get it to a
game five, but they just made a few
more plays in the end then we did.
Kansas dropped to 12-16 and 5-13
in the Big 12 Conference, while K-State
improved to 21-7 and 13-5 in the Big 12.
Freshmen outside hitters Karina
Garlington and Jenna Kaiser also
put up good offensive numbers for
Kansas. Garlington had 11 kills and
Kaiser had 12 in the loss.
The loss was the third in a row
for Kansas against K-State, and the
second this season. Kansas fell 3-
0 to K-State at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center on Sept. 12. The
Jayhawks dropped to 34-55 all-time
against the Wildcats.
