The student voice since 1904
BY JUSTINE PATTON

Four years ago Salon Hawk
owner Emily Willis watched her
best friend crumble from a strong-
willed, punky Lawrence police
officer to a young woman whose
life was suddenly at stake. The
reason? She was diagnosed with
breast cancer.
Willis said she witnessed her
best friend go through emotions
Willis described as shocking.
She is the toughest girl I know,
Willis said. I never had seen her
cry. She never wanted kids. She
never wanted any of that stuff.
And then I watched her go from
a very strong, almost guy-girl,
to actually going through, Well,
what if I cant have children? What
about this? I have so much left to
do with my life.
Willis decided to do something
to help her friend. She started sell-
ing pink hair extensions for $10
through Salon Hawk in support of
breast cancer awareness. And four
years later, at the kick-off of KUs
Breast Cancer Awareness Week,
Pink Hair for Hope is still going
strong.
All of the profits raised by Salon
Hawk are donated to Lawrence
Memorial Hospital. Willis said it
was important to her that all of the
money received stay local.
Anybody that helps us is help-
ing people here real people that
actually are going through some-
thing here, not just somewhere,
Willis said.
If rocking pink hair isnt your
thing, there are many other ways
students can involve themselves to
support breast cancer awareness
this week.
Jenny McKee, a health coordi-
nator at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said
e mp o we r -
ment was a
major goal of
Breast Cancer
Awa r e ne s s
Week this
year. She
said the goal
wasnt only to
inform, but
to get stu-
dents to take
the information and do something
with it.
We really want to get people to
a place where they can connect,
McKee said.
Three interactive tabling events
will give students the opportu-
nity to take their loved ones health
into their own hands. Students
can send stamped postcards to
remind their family and friends to
get their annual exams.
Its a nice way to tell some-
one, Hey, I care about you, and
I want you to go get your regular
check-up, said Annie McBride, a
graduate student from Omaha and
student intern with the Student
Involvement and Leadership
Center.
The tabling events, which
will run from Monday through
Wednesday, will also give students
the chance to take control of their
own personal health. Through
an organization called Bright
Pink, women
can sign up to
receive monthly
text messages to
remind them to
do their monthly
breast exams.
I think we
can do a lot to
educate people,
but October is
so pink, McKee
said. Its every-
where, and thats great, but these
are ways you can really make a dif-
ference for both yourself and for
someone that you care about.
McKee said many students
dont give breast cancer a sec-
ond thought at this point in their
lives.
A lot of young people, especial-
ly young ladies, arent even think-
ing about breast cancer, because
thats something that happens
to moms, aunts and grandmas,
McKee said.
People like Willis, however,
know firsthand that it can hap-
pen sooner than later. Although
she said her best friends story
had a happy ending she had
the cancer removed without hav-
ing to undergo any chemotherapy
and continues to serve the city of
Lawrence as a police officer
Willis said students need to recog-
nize breast cancer as a threat.
Its one in every four women,
and that could happen as early as
19, Willis said. My friend was
24, and to think there are seniors
that are 24 here on campus, that
really makes a big impact. You
could be one in four at any time
in your life.

One day during her junior year,
Chloe Alexander decided to dress
as a man. She didnt want attention
and she didnt want to cause trouble.
She just wanted to be herself. So
Alexander, a senior from Merriam,
bound her breasts and arrived in
class with mens clothing.
I started not seeing myself as
female anymore, Alexander said.
She said the first time she went to
class dressed as man she didnt know
what to expect. She didnt know how
they would react, if they would react
or if they would just pretend noth-
ing changed. To her surprise, her
fellow classmates were not alarmed
about the sudden change in attire.
She said she imagined the process
of coming out of the closet to be an
emotional roller coaster.
Alexander, who identifies herself
as queer, successfully came out of
the closet, and she said she hoped
many others would follow her.
Its rarely like the big dramat-
ic thing they show on television,
Alexander said. It was really reliev-
ing and fun.
In celebration of National
Coming Out Day, which is Oct. 11,
Queers and Allies will host Kate
Bornstein, a transgender activist
and author. Bornstein will perform
tonight in Hashinger Hall Theatre at
7 p.m. to promote awareness of gen-
der and sexuality issues. Bornstein
called her performance On Men,
Women and the Rest of Us. She
said she would raise more questions
on gender and sexuality than people
would expect. She said even most
heterosexuals have something for
which to come out of a closet.
Theres lot of closets to come
out of, not just gay and lesbian,
Bornstein said.
She said people needed to stop
lying to themselves and find out
who they truly are as sexual human
beings. At the age of 62, Bornstein
spent almost half of her life lying
to herself about her gender ori-
entation. In her thirties she went
through a sex change, yet she still
lied about her gender orientation.
Im not a man or a woman,
Bornstein said. Im just myself.
Sara Thompson, a senior from
Salina, fell in love with her fresh-
man-year roommate. She didnt
understand this sudden attraction
to her roommate. She said she didnt
want to ruin her friendship with
her roommate with her romantic
feelings. She had to come out of
the closet to herself first. She said at
first she was confused because she
didnt look like a lesbian. She often
questioned her sexuality after that,
and she wasnt quite sure what to
believe. It took her about six months
to fully understand her newly found
sexuality.
I was pretty sure I was straight
up until college, Thompson said.
Then I realized that I dont even
like dudes all that much.
Then she started to realize that
throughout her life she had always
been attracted to women. Whether
it was a small crush on another girl
from high school or falling in love
with her roommate, she knew she
couldnt lie to herself. She said her
openness with that one girl led her
to realize that she was attracted to
women. She finally told her room-
mate about her feelings after feeling
depressed and anxious about tell-
ing her, she said. Her roommate
was surprised and had no idea that
Thompson has feelings for her, but
she accepted Thompson.
It was the best reaction she could
have given me, Thompson said.
Although I secretly wished she was
passionately in love with me too but
she wasnt.
She said she felt great the next
day after her confession. She said
she felt like she was hiding from her
best friend and afterward she could
finally be herself.
Although coming out of the
closet can be a freeing experience,
Bornstein said if there was a chance
of injury, both physically and emo-
tionally, then a person should wait.
Joel Layton, a senior from
Overland Park, is bisexual. As a
sophomore in high school, he grad-
ually began to tell his friends and
mother about his sexuality. He said
he never felt a weight lift from his
shoulders afterward, but he did feel
a little relief.
I didnt have to play pronoun
games with people who I was
attracted too, Layton said.
The only person left to tell was
his father, but he never did. He said
his father was a very conservative
man and he was afraid that if told
him, his father would disown him.
He said that after all, his father was
his financial support, especially at
the age of 15.
It was a scary prospect, Layton
said.
Layton never got the chance to
tell his dad about his bisexuality
because he died shortly afterward.
Borstein said the best thing about
coming out was that a person didnt
have to stick to it. She said this
performance was all about National
Coming Out Day. Once someone
comes out, that person can come
out as something totally different
later the options are endless.
I hope you do, or life will be
awfully boring, she said.

State funding for higher edu-
cation has failed to keep up with
infation since 2005 as students
now pay more for their education
than the state, a report released
Tursday by the Legislative Divi-
sion of Post Audit found.
I think its really disturbing,
said Gary Sherrer, chairman of
the Kansas Board of Regents.
Te audits primary purpose
was to determine whether the
state has too many college stu-
dents with excess credit hours.
Excess hours occur when a stu-
dent has more credits than 115
percent of what is necessary to
graduate.
Te report found that one in
six students in Kansas had ex-
cess credit hours, but those hours
represented a small proportion
of all credit hours attempted by
students.
Neither the state nor Kansas
universities would save signif-
cant money by reducing excess
credit hours, the report said.
Te fnding that infation out-
paced state funding for higher
education is a frst for Kansas.
Universities have two main
sources of funding, state appro-
priations and tuition revenues.
Presently, the states six universi-
ties receive a higher share from
the latter category.
According to the report, tu-
ition revenues in 2009 were
$449,638,044 compared to state
appropriations of $428,301,065.
In 2005, state appropriations

were $399,929,966 while tuition
revenues totaled $317,907,310.
State funding for higher educa-
tion increased by about $25 mil-
lion, or 7 percent, since 2005. Tat
increase failed to keep up with in-
fation for that time period, which
the Higher Education Price Index
calculated to be about 16 percent.
In that same time period, over-
all tuition revenues increased by
41 percent. Tuition revenues are
infuenced by enrollment and
tuition rates. Between 2005 and
2010, enrollment increased by 5.5
percent. Enrollment at the Univer-
sity increased by 1.7 percent in that
stretch, an increase higher only
than that of Kansas State Univer-
sity.
Te Board of Regents approved
the Universitys latest tuition in-
crease in June. Citing more than
$40 million in budget cuts and un-
funded mandates, the University
raised tuition between 5.2 and 9.2
percent for students not part of a
tuition compact.
From 2005 to 2009, tuition at the
University increased by 49 percent
and 34 percent for resident and
nonresident students respectively,
the highest increase among all state
universities.
Sherrer voted against the latest
tuition increase, and called the in-
crease a terrible message to send to
students and their family.
Its hard to be very optimistic,
Sherrer said.
Vanita Jaseja, a freshman from
Overland Park, said if she cannot
keep up with the tuition increases,
her parents will not be able to pay
for her schooling at the University
and shell have to go to junior col-
lege instead. Jaseja said the gov-
ernment needs to help its colleges,
especially in times of economic
stress.
I think the state should give col-
leges more money because were
the future, Jaseja said. And if we
cant go to college, people arent go-
ing to be able to get jobs.
Even for students whose parents
can help cover much of the costs
of college, tuition hikes still add
stress.
Tat is frustrating to me because
tuition is already high enough as it
is, said Conner Brake, a freshman
from Salina. I feel like Im almost
worried enough right now about
student loans.
Brake said he feels blessed that
his parents can pay for most of col-
lege, but it only sofens the blow of
rising education costs.
Any time I have to pay more for
anything it is always a stressful situ-
ation, Brake said.
Tursdays report was inspired
by an audit of Floridas higher edu-
cation program that estimated the
cost of its students excess hours to
be $62 million in 2004. Kansas leg-
islators expressed concerns about
whether a similar situation existed
at its universities. In fscal year 2009,
the six universities spent more than
$1.8 billion to educate more than
73,000 full-time students.
Te audit found that of 2,792
students at the University who be-
gan in fall 2004 and were still en-
rolled in spring 2009, 400 had ex-
cess credit hours, or 14 percent of
students analyzed.
Diferences between Florida and
Kansas higher education funding
illustrated why there was little cause
for concern in the audits fndings.
Because Kansas doesnt fund its
six universities by credit hour, ex-
cess credit hours dont afect state
costs, the report said. Floridas
funding formula is based largely
on the number of credit hours the
universities teach.
Even with the most aggressive
assumptions, we didnt fnd any
meaningful, achievable cost sav-
ings related to excess credit hours,
the report said.

A guide to fying through your readings
Minute one: Memorize the title and the author.
Minute two: read the back cover, inside cover and recommendations. Check reviews on Goo-
dreads.com and Amazon.comthese will often give overall plot synopsis in addition to the users
reaction to the content.
Minute three: Scan the front cover. you can judge a book by its cover. Publishers are making
fashier covers that say a lot about the books
content. Typefaces, colors, and pictures speak volumes for what lies in the pages.
Minute four: read the foreword, introduction, and acknowledgements. This ofers a surprising
amount of insight into the rest of the book.
Minutes fve and six: Find the key chapter. Its not always the frst or last chapters. Often its chapter
3 or 4; sometimes its right smack in the middle. For non-fction or textbooks, it might be easier to
fnd the key paragraph within each chapter.
Minutes seven through sine: Look for clues to the plot. This takes practice. Scan through the book
fipping through the pages and look for words or dialogue that stand out. As you practice, youll
get faster at picking them out. Often its just the frst sentence of each paragraph or the caption
under texts with a lot of pictures and diagrams.
Minute 10: Summarize. Put it to memory. Writing it out helps to store the book into your mind so
you can recall it later for discussions or exams.
-One in six students in Kansas has excess credit
hours.
2005:
State funding for the University: $399,929,966
Tuition revenues: $317,907,310
2009:
State funding for the University: $428,301,065
Tuition revenues: $449,638,044
-university tuition for residents increased by 49 per-
cent between 2005 and 2009, the highest increase
among Kansas state universities.
Between 2005 and 2010:
-enrollment in Kansas universities increased by 5.5
percent.
-enrollment at the university increased by 1.7 per-
cent between 2005 and 2010.

Midterms are quickly approach-
ing and students are preparing to
complete that last test or paper
before fall break. For some stu-
dents, preparing for midterms
means sitting down and looking
over their notes. For others, it
means actually learning the mate-
rial for the first time. For those
students who fall into the latter
category, a new option exists. Kelly
Fann, an Information Services
Coordinator with the Lawrence
Public Library, is spreading the
word about a reading strategy that
allows people to finish a book in
only 10 minutes.
In my experience, the strategy
will work well with books that
youd read in classes like Western
Civ., Fann said. Its best for fic-
tion though.
Fann said she came across this
strategy while attending a library
conference. Librarians involved in
reader advisory programs spoke
highly of the technique. They said
it would allow readers to figure
out the plot, main characters and
basic ideas of larger books in a
short amount of time.
To accomplish this, a reader
must complete a set of tasks rang-
ing from memorizing the author
of a book to reading the mid-
dle chapter. By the end, a reader
will have read a books foreword,
introduction, acknowledgements
and more.
Whenever I use something like
Spark Notes, I feel like they make
up my mind about certain ideas in
a story, Fann said. I like how this
provides me with the opportunity
to make up my own mind.
John Bennet, a senior from
Tucson, Ariz., is a self-proclaimed
procrastinator. The idea of read-
ing a book in only 10 minutes
is appealing but unrealistic, said
Bennet.
I like the idea, but Id be con-
cerned that if I went too fast that I
wouldnt pick up on the things Id
need to know for a test, he said.
While the strategy might not
work for all students, the time-
saving possibilities are enough to
tempt some of them.
If there was a bit more time
to read the chapters I think it
would work fairly well, said Emily
Sis, a junior from Rogers, Ark. I
definitely think it would work for
some books and if it helps me to
read my assignments faster then I
think it would be worth a shot.

Some programs this fall are
delivering very strong ratings. Just
not new programs. If TV execu-
tives want encouragement from
the numbers, they have to turn to
football and returning series.
Two weeks into the fall TV sea-
son, the broadcast networks are
off to one of their most sluggish
starts ever. For the first time in
at least five years, not a single
new show has cracked the top 10
either among total viewers or the
advertising-friendly demographic
of adults 18 to 49, according to the
Nielsen Co. Even CBS remake of
Hawaii Five-0 has tumbled com-
pared with CSI: Miami last year.
Then there are the outright
bombs. After two airings Fox
axed its critically acclaimed drama
Lone Star. Two episodes were
all it took for ABC to yank the
critically unheralded youth soap
My Generation. Industry watch-
ers predict that ABCs legal drama
The Whole Truth and NBCs
Outlaw will be next on the road
to oblivion. As a result, Fox the
top network among young adults
for several years running and
ABC both saw their premiere-
week ratings slide by double digits
compared with a year ago.

Secretariat blends
sports, family fun
It didnt look like Secretariat
could pull it of. Coming out
of the gate at the 1973 ken-
tucky Derby, the chestnut colt
fell behind all but two horses
and dropped more than nine
lengths of the leaders down
the backstretch. under the whip
from jockey Ron Turcotte, the
thoroughbred suddenly blitzed
the feld, winning the Derby and
the nations adoration.
That stirring come-from-be-
hind race the opening leg in

Triple Crown triumph, the frst
such sweep in 25 years is at
the center of Secretariat, a Dis-
ney drama opening Friday about
the legendary equine, unconven-
tional owner Penny Chenery (Di-
ane Lane) and eccentric trainer
Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich).
Its the kind of feel-good family
flm Secretariat is rated PG
that evokes the quintessential
Disney flms of the era its set in:
Freaky Friday,Petes Dragon
and The Love bug. At the same
time, the movie recalls the stu-
dios rousing sports dramas of the
past decade, a slate that includes
The Rookie,Remember the
Titans and Miracle.
Disneys new top executives
believe Secretariat, a project be-
gun by their predecessors, distills
their creative and commercial
ambitions, and they are prom-
ising to make more modestly
budgeted, uplifting flms in its
hoof prints.
Its a movie that speaks to
who we are today and where we
are going, studio chief Rich Ross
said of the flm, which features
a gospel song and a bible quote
and has evident heartland appeal
the perfect inspirational flm,
he believes, for these recession-
ary times.

Te year is 1933. President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
announces the New Deal to recover
from the Great Depression.
John F. Kennedy announces that
Americans are going to the moon
within the decade.
Barack Obama announces what,
exactly? His intention to repeal
Dont Ask, Dont Tell or maybe
pass national health care. But
these are not the kind of grand,
long-term plans that will drive
Americans and their government
for the next decade. Until we can
fnd such a plan, we as a nation
will fnd it impossible to maintain
a competitive advantage over
countries such as China that are
making big bets in technology and
infrastructure.
Since the end of the Cold War,
the United States has been the only
true global superpower, and it took
upon itself the role of international
policeman. Since 2001, the
War on Terror has drained our
resources and become one of the
governments top priorities. But as
we have poured our resources into
Iraq and Afghanistan, we have lost
sight of our internal goals.
We support corrupt
governments with foreign aid
but leave our own people in
poverty. We need a commitment
to developing infrastructure, to
bringing 21st-century technology
to the entire country. We need
long-term goals that will inspire the
generation of American youth.
In a New York Times column
last week, Tomas Friedman
(author of Te World Is Flat)
compared the United States
investment in Afghanistan
to Chinas investment in
infrastructure and cutting-edge
technology. His conclusion: Te
contrast is not good.
Friedman is right. China is
investing in renewable energy and
high-speed rail, and its (mostly)
command economy means that
these investments can be supported
by the force of its authoritarian
government. Among the advanced
technologies Friedman discusses
are electric vehicles. China
has made such cars one of its
industrial pillars. But while
China and Europe are focusing
on innovative technologies for
transportation, the United States
seems to be making little progress.
Sure, political leaders make
speeches promoting renewable
energy and high-efciency vehicles,
but until their words are backed
by broad eforts, we will only see
incremental developments. And
while I do not intend to advocate
Chinas style of government control
for America, history shows that
our free-market principles and
relatively limited government
do not stop us from making big
bets that have big payofs. Today,
however, we are not willing to
make the investments or the
sacrifces necessary to achieve these
grand goals.
It may be that the United
States has outgrown its period of
accepting great challenges. We may
be too cynical, too skeptical of our
government to take big risks. When
President George W. Bush tried to
channel Kennedy and announced
that NASA would return to the
moon and continue to Mars, few
people thought there was any
chance of making his seemingly
arbitrary deadlines. Many doubted
the goals would be achieved at all.
As the last few months have shown,
we skeptics were right.
Truthfully, though, a literaal
moon shot is not what the
country needs right now. We need
something even more audacious:
a genuine change in the lives of
Americans everywhere. Te age
of Kennedy and Roosevelt, when
great dreams led to great results,
seems to be behind us. Yet if we are
to maintain our standard of living,
we have no choice but to begin
dreaming once more. We must not
be afraid to take risks. We must not
be afraid to fail. We must not be
afraid to make our own future.

October 4 begins Breast Cancer
Awareness Week here at KU. Breast
cancer is a health care concern
for all women, including young
women, and everyone should look
into their risk factors. Tis will al-
low you to take whatever preventa-
tive steps you can.
Here are some facts and fgures
about breast cancer risks and tips
for prevention:
Breast cancer is less likely in
younger/pre-menopausal women,
but its defnitely possible. If you
have a family member who has
been diagnosed (mother, sister,
child), it is likely you are at higher
risk for a breast cancer diagnosis.
Tis means that you may have
to start preventive screenings
earlier than women with no risk.
Its recommended that you start
getting mammograms every year,
starting at age 5-10 years prior to
the youngest breast cancer case in
the family, or age 40, whichever
comes frst.
If youre currently on birth con-
trol pills, it may increase your risk
slightly. However, within 10 years
of stopping the Pill, your risk re-
turns to that of never-users of the
Pill, so this shouldnt be too much
of a problem for young women,
like college students.
Now, with regards to preven-
tion, its important for women of
all ages to get to know our bodies
when theyre healthy. Ten when
something changes, were more
likely to notice it.
Take some time to conduct a self
breast exam; it may feel silly, but
we should be as aware as possible
of how our bodies work.
Women, even young women,
should have a clinical breast exam
(CBE) by a medical provider at
least once every 3 years starting
at age 20. Tis increases to once
a year starting at age 40. CBEs
are simply manual exams that a
provider can do to check for breast
changes. Ofen, medical providers
will conduct one during a regular
gynecological exam, but if they
dont, make sure to ask!
We have great mammogra-
phy technology, and not enough
women take advantage of it. In
particular, minority women and
lesbian women are less likely to go
for care, leading to later diagnoses
and worse outcomes.
Weve got better and better
imagery, and a wider variety of
medications and treatment options
for those who are diagnosed, so its
important to go for screenings! If
youre concerned about the cost of
mammograms, contact the Race
Against Breast Cancer in Topeka at
rabctopeka.org for free screening
sites.
Sure, going to the doctor isnt
fun. Mammograms arent either.
Tey are uncomfortable, and no
one looks forward to them. But
just like fossing your teeth, the
feeling aferward is worth it.
So, want to get involved in
Breast Cancer Awareness Week
this year?
Come by the Kansas Union
Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2p.m., and
Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
at Wescoe beach.
At our tables, you can pick up
some literature, a postcard for a
woman you love reminding her to
care for herself, enter a prize draw-
ing, or meet a woman who has
made it through cancer.
Take advantage of this week for
the sake of yourself and the women
in your life.

Health care law not best
option for the uninsured
HeALTHCAre
I have a friend named Adam
(Ive changed his name). In
an ultimate Frisbee game one
afernoon, he sprinted for
a catch. While catching the
Frisbee, he ran into someone at
full force. Losing his balance,
he fell to the ground with all
his weight on his ankle. To
shorten the story, he was taken
to the emergency room.
Im sure some of you are
wondering why I am sharing
this story in a health care
article. I believe there are a few
misconceptions about how our
current health care system is set
up. Te frst misconception is
about accessibility.
Te Emergency Medical
Treatment and Active Labor Act
states that anyone can go to an
emergency room for treatment
regardless of whether or not
they are insured, or can aford
to pay for treatment. In other
words, it is against the law for
anyone to be denied treatment
based on whether they can
aford to pay for it. If someone
can aford it, though, they will
have to pay for treatment.
Te next misconception is
about the quality of our health
care. Being from Houston, I can
brag that the M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center was voted for
four consecutive years to be
the single best place for cancer
treatment. Of course, there
are many other high quality
hospitals and doctors across
the country. A Boston Globe
article stated the wait to
see primary care doctors in
Massachusetts has grown to
as long as 100 days. Te state
government began mandating
policies relating to health care
and insurance. As a result,
doctors began going into early
retirement because they were
told how much money they
can charge patients, which
might not even be enough to
cover their costs. With fewer
doctors and still a high demand,
wait time goes up even more.
Tere is no way anyone can get
quality health care with doctors
retiring. President Obamas
health care plan will produce
the same efect, except on a
national level.
Te main misconception is
about afordability. Some people
simply just cannot aford to
purchase health care. Instead
of having a health care plan that
truly isnt afordable, we should
be using tax payer money to
purchase basic insurance plans
for people who cant aford
insurance. Tis is much more
efective than Obamas plan
because it eliminates this cost
issue. Obamas health care plan
is estimated to cost around 2.5
trillion dollars. If 5 million
people were covered, the cost
would be 5 million dollars
per person. With basic health
care from private insurance
companies at around 500
dollars, the cost would be only
10,000 dollars per person, which
is much less money. To do this
would only cost a fraction of
what Obamas health care plan
will cost.
Im not saying that our health
care system is perfect. What Im
really saying is that its much
better than anything that the
government claims that they can
provide for us.

If we have learned anything over the last few years, it is to
engage the media. This media outreach program definitely
helps us meet that goal. Ms. Stroda is part of a new generation
of journalists who will have keen insight to what we actually
do on a daily (or in her case - weekly) basis. As you can see
from the many military posts above, we view this media-mili-
tary interaction as part of our profession. You would not have
seen this kind of action (blogging) 10 years ago.
Av8r in response to Basic Training blog on Sept. 26.
I see a lot of extolling of the virtues of traditional medi-
cine and science - as if somehow, solely on virtue of being
establishment and scientific, theyre credible. Thing is,
just because its been approved by the FDA doesnt mean its
been scientifically tested out. And even if it has, medicine
is a progressive field - not a static one. Anybody remember
humors? The science of their time. Look at modern day che-
motherapy - treating cancer with radiation? Yeah, thats never
going to be looked back at as barbaric. Considering how much
corruption is in modern day medicine, keeping an eye out
for alternative treatments would seem to be the ideal, not the
dilemma. But in a system choked by moneymongering and
pretension, we cant expect real health care, instead subsisting
off of a painfully authoritarian model.

ATLANTA A veteran federal
judge faces drug and frearms
charges afer an exotic dancer at
an Atlanta strip club told authori-
ties he used cocaine, marijuana
and other illegal drugs with her.
Senior U.S. District Judge Jack
T. Camp was arrested Friday min-
utes afer he handed an under-
cover law enforcement agent $160
for cocaine and
Roxycodone,
a narcotic
pain medica-
tion, that he
intended to
use with the
exotic dancer,
authorities said
in a court doc-
ument released
Monday. Tey
said they also found two frearms
in the front seat of his vehicle.
Camp, 67, who has presided
over some high-profle cases, was
released Monday on a $50,000
bond. His attorney, William Mor-
rison, said afer a brief hearing
that the judge intends to plead not
guilty. Morrison said Camp would
probably take a leave of absence
and would not preside over any
more cases until the charges are
resolved.
Tis is really a case between
Judge Camp and his wife, said
Morrison. Its not about Judge
Camp being a judge. Its about him
being a husband.
Camps arrest set up an unusual
domino efect in the federal court-
house. Te districts federal judges
all recused themselves, so Mag-
istrate Judge Charles S. Coody of
Alabama was brought in to hear
the case. Federal prosecutors from
Washington also few in to handle
the governments arguments.
Te charges against Camp were
laid out in a shocking eight-page
afdavit released afer the emer-
gency hearing was fnished.
Camp met the confdential in-
formant, who recently began coop-
erating with the
FBI, at the Gol-
drush Showbar
in Atlanta in
early 2010 and
he soon began
paying her for
sex and buying
cocaine from
her at $40 to
$50 a pop, ac-
cording to the
records.
In June 2010, Camp followed
the informant to a drug dealer in
Marietta to buy Roxycodone. He
was also recorded in a wiretapped
telephone call on Sept. 28 talking
with her about getting together
over the weekend to split more
pills and cocaine with her, accord-
ing to the charges.
He showed up at a Publix park-
ing lot in northeast Atlanta around
7:15 p.m. Friday to meet with the
an undercover agent posing as
the dealer. When the informant
told her she was worried about his
safety, the judge told her, I not
only have my little pistol, Ive got
my big pistol so, uh, well take care
of any problems that come up, ac-
cording to the afdavit.
He handed over $160 in cash
to pay for the drugs around 7:35
p.m. Ten minutes later, authorities
arrested the judge and seized the
two guns from the front seat of his
vehicle.
Te judge faces four drug-relat-
ed charges and one count of pos-
sessing frearms while illegally us-
ing drugs.
Its a stunning turn for Camp,
a Vietnam War veteran who was
appointed to the bench by Ronald
Reagan in 1987. He is a former
chief judge for the Northern Dis-
trict of Georgia.
Known for wearing suspenders
around the courtroom, he handled
hundreds of cases before taking se-
nior status in 2008.
In 2004, he sentenced two men
accused of killing DeKalb County
Sherif Derwin Brown to life in
prison without parole. He also
handled litigation from voting
rights groups who sought to block
Georgia from asking new voters to
prove their identities and citizen-
ship before casting their ballots.
Te judge also handled several
high-profle drug cases, includ-
ing the May 2009 sentencing on
prescription-related charges of the
personal doctor to a professional
wrestler who killed himself, his
wife and their 7-year-old son.
Camp, wearing a pinstripe suit,
said little during the brief hearing
Monday but turned to fash a smile
at his family afer he walked in.
Judge Camps wife is an ex-
traordinarily strong woman and
shes going to stand by her hus-
band, said Morrison.

LAS VEGAS Actor Tony
Curtis was buried Monday with a
melange of his favorite possessions
a Stetson hat, an Armani scarf,
driving gloves, an iPhone and a
copy of his favorite novel, Antho-
ny Adverse, a book that inspired
his celebrity name and launched a
robust flm career that spanned de-
cades and genres.
Te 85-year-old Oscar-nominat-
ed actor who starred in such flms
as Te Defant Ones and Some
Like It Hot died Wednesday at his
home in Henderson, a Las Vegas
suburb, afer sufering cardiac ar-
rest.
More than 400 celebrities, fans,
friends and family members gath-
ered to say goodbye at a public fu-
neral service Monday in Las Vegas
honoring Curtis life.
Te funeral was to be followed by
the burial and then a reception for
200 invited guests at the Luxor ho-
tel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
A montage of Curtis famous
flm roles opened the sometimes
solemn, sometimes mirthful fare-
well service attended by California
Gov. Arnold
Schwarzeneg-
ger, actor Jamie
Lee Curtis, porn
star Ron Jer-
emy and Vera
Goulet, widow
of Broadway
singer Robert
Goulet. Te
crowd laughed
as an animated
Curtis appeared
in a scene from the television series
Te Flintstones and sparred with
actor Kirk Douglas in Spartacus.
Friends and fans lined up outside
Palm Mortuary & Cemetery well
before the funeral, with more than
a dozen photographers and televi-
sion journalists watching the scene.
Inside, seven colorful paintings and
three black-and-white drawings by
Curtis stood on easels while a pho-
to of the young, dark-haired actor
was projected on a screen. Te cof-
fn was draped with an American
fag.

need for attention, she joked.
Te father and daughter were es-
tranged for a long period but even-
tually reconciled. Curtis took pride
in his daughters on-screen credits
that include Perfect, Halloween,
True Lies and new comedy You
Again.
Rabbi Mel Hecht called
Schwarzenegger to the front of the
room for an impromptu farewell.
Te Austrian native recalled Curtis
as a generous mentor who encour-
aged his budding Hollywood career
when others told him his foreign
accent and name were too much of
a handicap.
Curtis, whose native Bronx ac-
cent initially earned him similar
criticism, could sympathize.
You are going to make it,
Schwarzenegger recalled Curtis
telling him. Dont pay any atten-
tion to those guys. I heard the same
thing when I came here.
Schwarzenegger said Curtis re-
fused to feel old.
I mean, who has the guts to take
of their clothes at the age of 80?
Schwarzenegger said, recalling
Curtis naked photo shoot in Van-
ity Fair in 2005.
Curtis sixth wife, Jill Cur-
tis, eulogized her husband of 12
years. She recalled how he easily
dismissed their 45-year age difer-
ence when friends asked if he was
worried about keeping up with a
younger wife.
If she dies, she dies, she said her
husband would deadpan in reply.
She urged family and friends to
dwell not on his death, but on his
extraordinary life.
He was, as one fan put it, a once-
in-a-lifetime man, she said.
Hecht led the room in a series of
Jewish prayers.
He is one of those greats of our
culture and our society who you
always knew, regardless of what
character he was playing, that he
was Tony Curtis, Hecht said.
Known for his transformation
from a pigeonholed pretty boy in
the late 1940s and early 50s to a
serious actor, Curtis reshaped him-
self over decades of work and made
himself impossible to typecast. Te
metamorphosis was completed in
1957s Sweet Smell of Success, in
which he played a sleazy press agent
manipulated by a ruthless newspa-
per columnist (Burt Lancaster).
In person, Curtis loved giving
friends and fans extra touches that
made their face-to-face moments
more memorable, longtime friend
and pallbearer Gene Kilroy told
Te Associated Press.
He had a certain way of mak-
ing everybody feel like they were
Spartacus, Kilroy said.
Kilroy, an executive at Luxor, said
billionaire investor Kirk Kerko-
rian, actor Kirk Douglas and singer
Phyllis McGuire were among seven
honorary pallbearers.
As the funeral ended Monday, a
second flm reel fashed before the
crowd.
Te montage fnished with the
words Te End cast on an image
of Curtis shaking his head, as if he
were disputing his own epilogue.
This is really a case
between Judge Camp and
his wife.

McDowell helps
Europe defeat
U.S. in Ryder Cup
in the last match
AssociAted Press
NEWPORT, Wales Graeme
McDowell capped off an unforget-
table year for himself and for
Europe.
In a Ryder Cup that came down
to the very last match Monday,
McDowell rolled in a 15-foot birdie
putt on the 16th hole, then closed
out Hunter Mahan to give Europe
the 14 points it needed to reclaim
the precious gold trophy.
It was the first time since 1991
that the Ryder Cup was decided by
the final singles match, a thriller
made possible by the Americans
getting big wins from their best
players and a stunning come-
back by 21-year-old rookie Rickie
Fowler.
Leave it to McDowell, the U.S.
Open champion, to deliver another
career-defining moment.
Under far greater pressure than
he faced at Pebble Beach, he turned
back the American rally with a
birdie putt that seemed to take
forever to reach the hole until it
tumbled into the cup and set off
a ground-shaking roar at Celtic
Manor.
Graeme McDowell was
put there for a good reason
hes full of confidence and that
showed, European captain Colin
Montgomerie said. That birdie
on 16 was just quite unbelievable.
Quite unbelievable.
So was the finish.
Europe, ahead by three points
going into the final round, took
the early lead in eight of the nine
matches and appeared on its way
to another rout on home soil. It all
turned so quickly.
Tiger Woods holed out from
the fairway for eagle during a sev-
en-hole stretch that he played in
7-under par. Steve Stricker won the
opening match and Phil Mickelson
built a big lead to win late. Then
came Fowler, the first PGA Tour
rookie to play in the Ryder Cup,
winning the last three holes with
birdies including putts of 15 feet
on the 17th and 18th to earn an
improbable halve against Edoardo
Molinari.
That gave the Americans 13
points, and they only needed a
halve in the last match to retain
the cup. Just as Fowler was being
mobbed by his teammates, Mahan
made a nervy birdie putt on the
15th to cut McDowells lead to 1
up.
The U.S. Open felt like a back
nine with my dad back at Portrush
compared to that, McDowell said.
I was really nervous there. Wow!
Its a different feeling. Its just so
much pressure.
It sure didnt look that way as he
blasted a tee shot down the middle
and hit his approach to 15 feet,
leaving him a quick putt.
The best putt Ive hit in my life,
McDowell said.
After a week of rain that forced
the first Monday finish in Ryder
Cup history, more showers soon
followed only these came from
bottles of champagne sprayed in
every direction.
Its been the best week of my
life, said Rory McIlroy, who holed
a 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole
to earn a half-point against Stewart
Cink that turned out to be crucial.
Montgomerie is renowned for a
career missing only a major. This
felt like one, maybe even better.
This is one of the finest
moments of my golfing wait
a minute this IS the greatest
moment of my golfing career, he
said.
Europe thrives on winning the
Ryder Cup, yet this year went
beyond the matches. McDowell
won the U.S. Open, and Martin
Kaymer of Germany won the PGA
Championship, the first time two
Europeans have won majors in the
same year since 1999.
For U.S. captain Corey Pavin,
it was a week where everything
seemed to go wrong, from forget-
ting to introduce to Cink at the
opening ceremony to rain suits
that malfunctioned to pairings that
blew up on him.
That changed in a two-hour
window that shifted momentum,
and almost the Ryder Cup, to his
side.
We nearly got there today, he
said. We started off a little slow.
We came back hard. We almost
got there. Im very proud of their
resolve, of their sportsmanship and
their fine play. I can only say its
been an honor and a privilege to
call them teammates.
His voice breaking, he walked
over to each of them at the closing
ceremony to shake hands.
The Europeans were inspired by
a phone call earlier in the week
from Seve Ballesteros, the catalyst
for European dominance in the
Ryder Cup. He is battling brain
cancer and could not travel to
Celtic Manor. They kept a poster
of Ballesteros in the team room,
then displayed it for the crowd at
closing ceremonies.
McDowell got the loudest cheer
when Montgomerie called out his
12 players one by one. They know
him well in these parts. In his
final tournament before winning
the U.S. Open, McDowell won the
Wales Open at Celtic Manor.
That birdie on 16 was huge,
Mahan said, choking back tears.
He beat me.
Mahan made a mess of the 17th,
memorable because it was the last
match. The bigger blow might have
been Cink. He was 1 up on McIlroy
and drove the par-4 15th green,
only to three-putt for par and lose
the hole.
Cink had a chance to go 1-up on
the 17th when he missed a 5-foot
birdie putt. McIlroy scratched out
a critical half-point on the 18th
when he hit into a bunker going for
the green in two, left his first shot
in the bunker, and made a 5-foot
par putt.
Luke Donald, who along with
Poulter won three matches this
week, twice made 20-foot bird-
ie putts when Jim Furyk was
inside 4 feet to halve the holes
and keep the lead, and keep Celtic
Manor humming with cheers of
Luuuuuuuuuke!
Poulter led the team in passion,
pumping his fists and screaming
above the din with every birdie.
We have played from the heart
today, Poulter said, his face soaked
with champagne. And do you
know what? We brought back this
trophy. This is a special day.
Woods had his best Ryder Cup,
winning his opening two matches
with Stricker and bouncing back
from his worst defeat to overwhelm
Francesco Molinari on the back
nine for a 4-and-3 victory.
Fowler and Jeff Overton, the first
Americans to play in the Ryder
Cup without ever having won on
the PGA Tour, won key points.
Overton didnt let out any Boom,
baby! shouts, but he won three
straight holes late to turn a deficit
into a win over Ross Fisher.

Boise States commanding 59-0
victory over New Mexico State on
Saturday night did not help the
Broncos retain their No. 3 spot
in The Associated Press or USA
Today Coaches polls released
Sunday.
Oregon, which was ranked No.
4 when it beat Stanford, 52-31,
moved to No. 3 in both polls. Boise
State is No. 4, behind Alabama,
Ohio State and Oregon.
Boise State is 38 points behind
the Ducks in the AP poll and 24
behind in the coaches survey. The
Broncos (4-0) could fall victim to
the same fate if major-conference
teams behind them Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Auburn, to name
three remain unbeaten. TCU
could conceivably make the leap
as well as it faces No. 10 Utah in
November.
Nevada (21) and Air Force (25)
are ranked in the AP poll.
Perennial powers Texas, USC
and Penn State all fell out of the
rankings this week.
Texas is unranked for the first
time since Oct. 15, 2000. The
Longhorns streak of 162 con-
secutive weeks in the rankings
was the longest active streak in
the country. Ohio State now has
the longest streak at 90 straight
poll appearances.
Top in both polls: 1. Alabama
2. Ohio State 3. Oregon 4. Boise
State
REPORT CARD
Offense
Grading the Broncos seems
futile after such a dominant per-
formance. Boise State handled the
Aggies with laughable ease, jump-
ing out to a 24-0 lead and never
going through a lull. One play, to
me, illustrated how in command
the Broncos were. On their first
possession, the Broncos faced a
third-and-4. QB Kellen Moore hit
Austin Pettis for an easy 5-yard
out. No NMSU defender was even
close to Pettis nor did the Aggies
bring pressure. Four plays later,
the Broncos were up 7-0 and off
to the races. Grade: A
Defense
The defensive line is becoming
the best unit on this team. And its
not just first-string guys like Shea
McClellin, who made an amaz-
ingly athletic play to bat down a
screen pass, and Ryan Winterswyk,
who caught the batted ball for an
interception. Second-unit play-
ers such as Mike Atkinson and
Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe are starting
to dominate. Defensive coordina-
tor Pete Kwiatkowski has not got-
ten the recognition he deserves
for his work with the defensive
line. Grade: A
Special teams
The Aggies did start three pos-
sessions beyond their own 40 after
kickoffs as the Broncos showed a
little weakness on kickoff cover-
age. Grade: B+
Coaching
Chris Petersen refused to run
up the score, taking a knee at
the end of the first half when
the Broncos took possession with
more than a minute remaining
and all three timeouts. Many
played at a high level. Grade: A
Monroe proves self as long-term solution for Texas team
COLLEgE fOOTbALL
Mcclatchy-tribune
One game afer watching D.J.
Monroe run the ball efectively
as a running back and potentially
provide a long-term solution at the
unsettled position, Texas coach
Mack Brown said the decision to
sit on the sophomore running back
has more to do with practice.
Namely, Monroe hasnt had
enough yet.
Playing against Oklahoma, Mon-
roe carried the ball four times for
65 yards with a touchdown. It lef
people wanting more. But Brown
has been careful, and sounds like
he will remain so, in using Monroe
until he has a better command of
the position.
D.J. didnt practice in the
spring; he had a pulled hamstring,
Brown said. I dont think he par-
ticipated at all, and if it was it was
a couple of plays. He played scout
team his redshirt year at running
back. He missed the next spring
because of academics. He spent all
of preseason at wide receiver.
It sounds as if Fozzy Whittaker
will still be receiving the majority
of the load, or at least until Monroe
proves he can handle the mental
rigors of the position.
Hes doing a good job and hes
trying to learn quickly, Brown
said. Its not plays as much as pro-
tections. Protections are compli-
cated ... D.J. is fnding his place.
Mack Brown did notice the dis-
parity in penalties during Satur-
days game, but because hed rather
keep his wallet the same size hes
not criticizing.
UT was penalized nine times
for 81 yards, and gave the Sooners
three frst downs via penalties. OU
was called for fve penalties for 29
yards.
Afer consecutive losses and en-
tering the bye week, Mack Brown
acknowledged that this Longhorns
team cant get away with some of
things his previous teams could.
Whereas in the past his teams were
so much more talented, this group
cant just show up and win.
With the bye week before going
to Lincoln to play No. 7 Nebraska
on Oct. 16, Brown delivered such a
message to his team.
We have to play with that heart
and passion and desire each week.
If we played like ( the Longhorns
did against Oklahoma) against
UCLA, it would have been a difer-
ent game, Brown said. Were not
the type of team that can go out
there and not play our best game
and win.

Jay Cutlers concussion keeps him benched for the Bears
Mcclatchy-tribune
Poke. Prod. Make Jay Cutler
recite the names of all the cast
members of Te Hills, if eventu-
ally thats what it takes to prove his
mental acuity.
But under no circumstances can
the Bears rush Cutler back to the
football feld, even for practice,
until he shows no lingering efects
from the concussion that knocked
him out of the second half of
Sundays 17-3 loss to the Giants.
Teres no hurry even if Cutler in-
sists to teammates hes fne.
Tere is no truth to the rumor
that the Bears knew Cutler really
was messed up at halfime when
he started hugging teammates.
Come to think of it, that may be an
additional test to see if Cutler has
regained his senses. Have Devin
Hester line up on the wrong side
of a formation, as he did against
the Giants, and if Cutler screams
at him again then everybody will
know hes back to being Jay.
In all seriousness, the Bears
must err on the side of caution
when it comes to Cutler. Tey
have solid medical people who
know this. Tey have football
people who have been encouraged
by league initiatives and new NFL
rules to accept this. Tey have
more at stake than beating the
winless Panthers.
Te decision should have less to
do with Cutler playing Sunday and
more to do with preserving him all
season.
It will be pointed out that Pan-
thers quarterback Matt Moore,
now Jimmy Clausens backup,
didnt miss a practice and started
against the Buccaneers seven days
afer the Giants concussed Moore
in the season opener. But I dont
recall seeing tackles Frank Omi-
yale or Kevin Shafer on the Pan-
thers depth chart.
R u s h i n g
Cutler back
to the same
pocket that has
collapsed more
than any other
in the NFL
through four
games would
be like sending
an air-trafc
controller back
to work days
afer a panic attack. One quarter
through the season, the Bears have
given up 18 sacks and are on pace
to break the team record of 66 set
in 2004, the last time they ran a
version of the Mike Martz ofense.
Te Qasim Mitchell Era is not one
worth repeating.
Maybe Cutler shouldnt return
until lef tackle Chris Williams
does. Maybe it
wont matter.
But the Bears
shouldnt be
criticized if
they take the
cautious route
and consider
time their ally
and not the
enemy.
Tough it
also dealt with
a concussion, linebacker Hunter
Hillenmeyers situation difers
greatly with Cutlers. Te bottom-
line mentality of the NFL made it
easier for the Bears to do the right
thing and place Hillenmeyer on
injured reserve because of tre-
mendous depth at linebacker. Te
thinking changes when it involves
a franchise quarterback whos the
diference between making a play-
of run and worrying about draf
position.
You have warring mentali-
ties, because both the team and
the player want him on the feld
next week but the Bears, in this
case, have to be the ones who look
long-term for the best interests
of Jay, said Chris Nowinski, the
President of the Sports Legacy In-
stitute. Nowinski, a Hersey High
grad whose playing career at Har-
vard was cut short due to concus-
sions, is considered an expert on
the topic.
Nowinski stressed the impor-
tance of players such as Cutler who
sustain concussions being honest
with their symptoms. Back in 2003
when Cutler was at Vanderbilt, for
instance, he later acknowledged to
a local newspaper not revealing
the concussion he sufered Sept.
20, 2003, against Texas Christian.
Players knew because Cutler called
the wrong plays in the huddle.
Te last documented concus-
sion Cutler sufered as a pro came
Dec. 31, 2006, with the Broncos
when he was knocked out in the
second quarter against the 49ers
afer a hit by current Bears de-
fensive tackle Anthony Adams.
Cutler returned in the third quar-
ter but still seemed woozy when
he burned three timeouts in one
series and threw an interception
Walt Harris returned for a touch-
down in a 26-23 loss.
You have warring men-
talities, because both the
team and the player want
him on the feld next
week.

2K11: The Jordan time capsule
MOrning Brew
W
hen consider-
ing the best NBA
players of all time,
Michael Jordan is a legend
hard to deny. In his career, he
played more than 1,000 games
and averaged a little more
than 30 points per game. And
hes certainly left his mark on
the league, leading his team
to six titles in seven seasons.
The dynasty built at Chicago
is something hard to contend
with.
I believe Jordan is the best
to ever play the game, but
some argue that Kobe Bryant
is also a major contender for
the number one spot. Bryant
has won five championship
rings, and averages more than
25 points per game so far in
his career.
Besides looking at just sta-
tistics, both Jordan and Bryant
have assumed the role of go-
to-guy in clutch moments.
Late in the game, Bryant and
Jordan both have produced
game-altering plays.
Their astonishing
talent has distin-
guished both players
to considerably elite
statuses.
The argu-
ment can
be made for
either Jordan
or Bryant.
But because
they played in different time
periods, the answer cant pos-
sibly be found on the court,
right?
Wrong. This year, with the
introduction of NBA 2K11,
fans and gamers alike finally
have the chance to simulate
this exact competition. This
is the first time in gaming
history that Jordan has been
featured in a modern game.
Hes even pictured on the front
of the case described as, The
greatest of all-time.
In the game, you can start
off with Jordan as a rookie and
create a new career
for him. Or if you
want to settle the
dispute with your
Lakers friend, you
can match up one of Jordans
championship teams from
Chicago against Kobe and his
latest gang.
NBA 2K11 also has a Jordan
Challenge mode. In this mode,
you get to play ten of Jordans
most storied games in his
career and then try to replicate
his success by completing cer-
tain tasks within the game.
The game also allows you to
ship Jordan around the league
to turn your favorite team into
an instant contender. But I
deem it unjust to add The MJ
to the Miami Heat.
So there you have it. This
is as close as basketball fans
can get to seeing how Jordan
matches up with todays play-
ers.

Marcus Morris gains
spot on national list
Marcus Morris has picked up
another preseason accolade.
Morris, a junior forward who
has already
been named
to several
preseason
All-American
teams, was
named to
the John r.
Wooden Award
preseason
watch list Monday afternoon.
The watch list consists of the
50 players deemed most likely to
win the Wooden Award this year,
given to the nations best player.
Morris is one of seven players
from the big 12 on the list, but
is the only Jayhawk. Colorado
is the only school in the confer-
ence to have two players on the
list, with senior guard Cory Hig-
gins and sophomore guard Alec
burks named. LaceDarius Dunn
(baylor), Jacob Pullen (Kansas
State), Kim english (Missouri)
and Jordan Hamilton (Texas)
were the other four.
Preseason watch list members
Nikola Vucevic of uSC and Der-
rick Williams of Arizona are also
on the Jayhawks nonconference
slate.
Freshmen are not eligible for
the preseason list.

Athletic director Mark Hollis

The Jayhawks defense continued
its solid play over the weekend, but
split its matches with one win and
one loss.
On Friday, Kansas held the
Texas A&M offense, which
had been averaging 2.64 goals
per game, to just one.
The Aggies totaled 27 shots,
but another strong perfor-
mance from Kansas sopho-
more goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau
kept them in the game. She
recorded nine saves, including
a few impressive diving plays.
Not even the combination
of Liebetrau at goal and the
strong defense was able to stop
the Jayhawks from falling to
the Aggies, 1-0.
On Sunday, the defenses
play paid off as Kansas beat
Texas 1-0 for its first victo-
ry over the Longhorns since
2005.
This also marked the
Jayhawks fourth shut out of
the year.
Senior defender Lauren
Jackson said the defenses abil-
ity to communicate was a key
factor in the win.
We are always on the same
page and we play good togeth-
er, she said.
Jackson also noted that the shut-
out was a team effort.
I think we played good solid
all around defense. Not just the
defenders, but midfielders play-
ing defense and forwards playing
defense, she said.
The concept of team defense was
displayed well by sophomore for-
ward Whitney Berry in the second
half.
At one point she sprinted from
her forward spot back to Kansas
side of the field to track down a
Texas player and get the ball back.
Francis said he has been able
to rely on the defense, and will
continue to look to them for help
in improving the teams 1-3 confer-
ence record.
The defenders are playing well,
but they have been pretty consis-
tent all year, he said. Those guys
are making it difficult for other
teams to score, which gives you a
chance to win the game.

Football coachTurner Gill addresses the media last month at the Anderson Family Football Complex. Several newteamrules such as cell phone and cursing bans have been discussed recently by several players.
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com

When Turner Gill held his
first press conference as the new
Kansas football coach, he empha-
sized that he was here to help
shape young men first and win
football games second.
Now Gill is turning heads with
some of his unorthodox ways.
Gill implemented numerous
new rules in the Kansas play-
ers manual after taking over this
spring. Among the rules are bans
on cursing and cell phone use the
day before games. However, it was
the ban on player interaction with
members of the opposite sex after
10 p.m. Gill defended Monday.
Were just teaching them dis-
cipline, Gill said during the Big
12 coaches teleconference. Im
not going to go into all the details
of what we have on our team
policies and all those things, but
everything that we do is all about
disciplining our guys and prepar-
ing them for life with football
and preparing for them for life
without football. Its just part of
our makeup.
The rule was implemented to
ensure players maintain self-dis-
cipline and avoid some of the
temptations that come with col-
lege life.
Weve explained everything to
our players, and were teaching
them about discipline and about
life and discipline also with foot-
ball, Gill said.
Almost all of the players asked
to adhere to the new rule are
holdovers recruited by former
coach Mark Mangino. While the
previous regime had its share of
rules, the current Kansas roster
is being asked to observe policies
they were unaware would be in
place when they were recruit-
ed. But these policies have not
harmed the team on the field,
Gill said.
There hasnt been any negative
reaction to anything, Gill said.
Weve just been inconsistent in
playing the game of football, just
like any other teams.
Gill said the policy, directed at
improving treatment of women,
should not scare away future
recruits from the program but did
not rule out the possibility.
I guess it could, but we can
explain, Gill said. Its not that
big of a deal. Its really just a situ-
ation of trying to teach guys how
to do things in the proper way
and be respectful to women and
be respectful to everything that
we do in our society. Its teach-
ing people all about things about
life.
Kansas coaches collect player
cell phones in Ziploc bags the day
before a game, as shown in the
weekly Kansas football documen-
tary The Gridiron. The policy
surprised players at first, but it is
a concession many are willing to
make to take the field.
Some guys, of course, like to
talk to their parents and family
members before the games, said
sophomore wide receiver Bradley
McDougald said, but its just a
small price you have to pay.
Senior punter Alonso Rojas
observed similar policies his
freshman year at Bowling Green.
Not everyone likes the policy, he
said, but keeping in line with the
coachs wishes is important to
everyone.
There are always going to be
guys who dont like it more than
others, Rojas said, but were a
team and our coach expects us
to do something, so were going
to do it.

Defense aids in victory and helps lessen defeat
BY MAX VOSBURGH
T
he biggest question
that remains after
Kansas 55-7 loss to
Baylor is how this team will
respond to such adversity.
We may already know the
answer.
You could make a case that
the Jayhawks historically lop-
sided loss to Baylor was just
as embarrassing as the loss to
Division I-AA North Dakota
State. Kansas responded the
next week by beating No.
15 Georgia Tech at home.
Kansas came out looking
inspired, ready to prove to
its fans they were better than
what they showed in their
first game.
The Jayhawks will have the
same opportunity to redeem
themselves in two weeks
when they play in-state rival
Kansas State.
The game, which was
moved from Saturday, Oct.
16 to Thursday, Oct. 14, will
be televised nationally on Fox
Sports Net.
It has been my personal
observation that when the
Jayhawks begin a game full
of passion and energy, they
win. In contrast, they havent
appeared to have that same
spark in games that theyve
lost.
If the Jayhawks can
respond against Kansas State
the same way they did against
North Dakota State, not all
hope will be lost.
For now however, the
Jayhawks will go into their
bye week watching tape to
determine if certain players
checked out of the Baylor
game early.
I dont think our guys
totally quit, coach Turner
Gill said. But we will look
at that some more on tape.
Obviously we were a step too
slow on a lot of things both
offensively and defensively.
The bye week comes at a
perfect time for the Jayhawks.
They have plenty of time to
refresh themselves mentally
and prepare for their biggest
game so far.
We will regroup and
I believe we will get that
together, senior safety
Olaitan Oguntodu said.
Kansas State plays at
Nebraska this week in a
match-up that may be the
early favorites to win the Big
12 North. It wont be an easy
game for the Wildcats and
they wont be nearly as rested
as the Jayhawks before the
Sunflower Showdown.
The Jayhawks have a big
week ahead of them. They
need to use the next 10 days
before that match-up to
motivate themselves from the
Baylor game. If they come
out asleep against Kansas
State, they might not be able
to save face this season.
