    When Rachel Hagen, a senior
    from Kansas City, Kan., woke up in
    the dark to a bat flying over her face,
    she was petrified. When her landlady
    offered her a book of self-written
    poems rather than an exterminators
    number, she thought surely she was
    dreaming.
    Just read the poem, her landlady,
    Serina Hearn, said. Then you will
    feel better.
    Because of questionable practices,
    Hearn, who owns more than 25 prop-
    erties in Lawrence has become infa-
    mous among rent-
    ers, many of whom
    are KU students.
    She is absolutely
    trying to stuff as
    many kids into
    houses as possible,
    Brian Markowitz,
    a senior from
    Leawood, said.
    She will do any-
    thing possible to
    make a buck.
    Markowitz and the five roommates
    he lived with at 1736 Louisiana St.,
    are filing a lawsuit against Hearn.
    The house had been zoned by the
    city of Lawrence as a single-family
    home, which means that no more
    than three unrelated tenants may live
    in it together. However, Markowitz,
    who had been unaware of the zoning
    code, claimed that Hearn knowingly
    allowed six unrelated people to live
    in one residence.
    On the day of the scheduled city
    inspection, Hearns assistant, Alicia
    Chance, e-mailed the six tenants and
    asked them to leave the house.
    She absolutely made an effort to
    hide how many people lived there
    that day, Markowitz said. She put
    numbers on one bedroom door to
    make it look like a separate apart-
    ment and she put a fake closet in front
    of the attic door so they wouldnt go
    upstairs and see three bedrooms up
    there.
    After their lease was up, Hearn
    did not refund the tenants their
    security deposit of $2,970. At that
    point, Markowitz discovered that he
    and his roommates had been liv-
    ing in the home
    illegally. He
    then submitted
    their lease and
    e-mails to city
    inspectors.
    B r i a n
    Jimenez, a codes
    enf orcement
    supervisor for
    the city, said
    the citys official
    position is that 1736 Louisiana St. is a
    single-dwelling residence.
    We can have this problem with
    any house, Jimenez said. It comes
    down to whether the landlord is
    going to be law-abiding.
    Markowitz filed a complaint with
    the city, but the case has yet to be
    prosecuted. If city does not pursue
    the case, Markowitz said that he and
    his roommates will file a civil suit.
    Weve given Hearn the opportu-
    nity to prove that her actions were
    not unlawful, and she has yet to do
    that, Jimenez said. We have dealt
    with this particular landlord on many
    occasions, and I can confirm that we
    have heard stories similar to what has
    been told to you.
    Tese similar stories include ones
    such as Ben Cohens, an MBA gradu-
    ate student from Overland Park and
    former Kansan stafer.
    I had heard rumors before I
    signed my lease that the security
    deposit should be considered a 13th
    months rent, Cohen said. To not
    give the security deposit back is just
    her practice.
    In addition to not refunding their
    security deposit of $3,960, Hearn
    charged Cohen and his eight room-
    mates an additional $1900.
    We havent paid yet, and I refuse
    to, Cohen said. She wont verify
    where the money is going, and I
    know it wont go back into the house.
    Her rentals are literally run-down
    dumps.
    However, Markowitz said the
    money isnt the main issue. Our
    lease had signature spaces for up to
    seven people, Markowitz said. She
    flat out lied to us.
    After the city received Markowitzs
    complaint in 2009, a second com-
    plaint was filed that more than three
    people were living in the house yet
    again. The property is currently
    vacant.
    I literally had no idea we
    were doing anything wrong, said
    Markowitz. At this point, I just feel
    that beyond what she has done to
    me, I guarantee she is going to do it
    to someone else.
    After an initial attempt to contact
    Hearn, her rental website was taken
    down. She was also unavailable for
    later attempts at contact.

    The Universitys to-do list of on-
    campus maintenance is long and
    growing longer.
    More than $225 million in repairs
    and renovations are expected to be
    included on the Universitys latest
    inventory of maintenance proj-
    ects, which will be completed in
    November.
    We are far away from where we
    need to be, Chancellor Bernadette
    Gray-Little said.
    Every two years, the University
    reviews its unaddressed mainte-
    nance projects and reports them to
    the Kansas Board of Regents. The
    regents then release their report on
    deferred maintenance the following
    January. The 2008 report revealed
    a 24 percent increase from 2006 in
    deferred maintenance projects at
    the six Kansas universities.
    Modig said the rate of deteriora-
    tion at the University is about 2
    percent of campus facilities replace-
    ment values per year. The University
    has about $1 billion in facilities.
    I do not look for that number to
    go down much because the rate of
    the funding we get does not match
    the rate of deterioration of the cam-
    pus, said Jim Modig, director of
    design and construction manage-
    ment.
    Cynthia Rodriguez is an admin-
    istrative assistant for pharmacology
    and toxicology in Malott Hall. She
    said the buildings running water
    is constantly shut down for main-
    tenance and elevators often present
    problems.
    Its just that everything is so old,
    Rodriguez said. So even the little
    things, you know, are a headache.
    Emily Cappo, a sophomore from
    Overland Park, said she would also
    like to see more maintenance on
    residence halls.
    I think better living spaces are
    the first step in creating a better
    learning environment for students,
    Cappo said.
    Modig said projects are priori-
    tized and that funding rarely keeps
    pace with on campus needs. He said
    those needs are primarily mechani-
    cal and electrical improvements.
    Modig said funding is still need-
    ed for mechanical improvements on
    Watson Library and Learned Hall.
    Lippincott and Bailey also need
    mechanical improvements, Modig
    said, which will be paid for through
    the the Universitys repair and reha-
    bilitation coffers.
    In the past year, projects have
    been completed in Dyche, Haworth,
    Malott, Wescoe and Murphy halls
    and in the campus utility tunnel
    system.
    Jack Martin, a University spokes-
    man, said the tunnel repairs were
    less visible but crucial to campus
    operations.
    If one of those collapsed we
    could lose water or lose power,
    Martin said. Now you dont nec-
    essarily think of it now that it is
    covered up.
    Money for maintenance will be
    even harder to come by since regents
    allocated the last of its Federal
    stimulus funding in June. Through
    the American Reinvestment and
    Recovery Act, the University
    received $12,853,922 for fiscal year
    2011.
    In September regents approved
    more than $5 million in state
    funds for projects to be com-
    pleted in Strong Hall ($2,867,000
    for heating, venting and air con-
    ditioning improvements), Art &
    Design ($1,601,415 for HVAC and
    central chiller improvements) and
    Lindley Hall ($600,000 for HVAC
    and electrical improvements).
    The state legislature approved a
    five year program in 2008 for fund-
    ing deferred maintenance at state
    universities. However the funding
    was on an annual basis and funds
    dried up, leaving no available money
    for the program in fiscal years 2010,
    2011 or 2012 the final years of
    the program.
    Grants or donations also help
    fund maintenance projects. Dyche
    Hall received a $1.5 million federal
    stimulus grant from the National
    Science Foundation in September.
    In May, former Chancellor Archie
    Dykes and his wife, Nancy, pro-
    vided $100,000 to support deferred
    maintenance projects.

    Hearing begins for
    Delta Chi suspect
    the preliminary hearing for
    a Delta chi fraternity member
    was held today.
    the suspect of an August
    alleged rape case at the Delta
    chi fraternity house, 1245
    West campus rd., had his
    preliminary hearing scheduled
    today, according to cheryl
    Wright, assistant to the Doug-
    las county District Attorney.
    He is scheduled to be in court
    December 20 at 1:30 p.m.
    According to a Lawrence
    Police Department report, an
    18-year-old Lawrence man
    sexually assaulted a female
    kU student after she fell
    asleep in the fraternity house
    the night of Aug. 20. the sus-
    pect was charged with rape
    and aggravated sexual battery
    Aug. 23.
    mariel Dryton, a sophomore
    from Leawood, was there the
    night of the alleged assault.
    She said there was a party and
    most people seemed to be
    having fun. Dryton said there
    wasnt any indication that
    anything was wrong.
    the international Delta chi
    fraternity announced in an
    Aug. 24 statement that it was
    investigating its University of
    kansas chapter, pending the
    suspects criminal case.
    the kansas chapter and its
    members have continued to
    fully cooperate with the local
    authorities in their investiga-
    tion, karl Grindel, assistant
    executive director for Delta
    chi, wrote in an email. Since
    there is currently an ongoing
    criminal investigation, Delta
    chi will conclude its review
    once the criminal justice sys-
    tem has taken its course.

    Data encourages
    graduate program
    A report from the National
    research council released in late
    September hopes to strengthen
    graduate programs at the University
    and at more than 200 other colleges
    and universities around the nation.
    the report, Assessment of re-
    search Doctorate Programs,is a data-
    driven study that has been compiled
    over the past fve years. Forty-one
    graduate programs at the Universitys
    Lawrence and medical center cam-
    puses were included in the report.
    the report collects information
    about multiple areas of education.
    Some of these include: number of
    students, number of faculty with
    research grants, incoming gradu-
    ate record exam, or GrE scores of
    incoming students and measures of
    diversity.
    Its a great benchmarking tool,
    said Sara rosen, dean of graduate
    studies.
    Programs are not ranked with
    a single number, rosen said, but
    instead with a range of rankings
    among the variables included.
    the report will help the gradu-
    ate education program measure
    progress and plan priorities inter-
    nally. Also, rosen said if prospective
    students have certain criteria they
    want for their graduate education,
    they can access the report online
    and gauge universities against each
    other.
    this is the third time this report
    has been produced. It was also
    released in 1982 and 1995.
    rosen said several programs that
    were evaluated in 1995 as being
    strong continue to fourish, according
    to early analysis of the report. these
    include Spanish and Portuguese,
    ecology and evolutionary biology,
    chemistry and clinical child psychol-
    ogy at the Lawrence campus.
    Strong programs at the kU medi-
    cal center include pharmacology,
    toxicology and therapeutics, anato-
    my and cell biology, and molecular
    and integrative physiology.

    Emporia State Universitys
    efforts to start an elementary edu-
    cation program at Johnson County
    Community College has sparked
    some concern from University offi-
    cials regarding the interests of stu-
    dents pursuing education degrees.
    I dont begrudge Emporia for
    wanting to work with Johnson
    County, said Rick Ginsberg, dean
    of the School of Education. But
    we in the business have to take a
    stand and do what is right by young
    people.
    Emporia State officials have been
    discussing the need for an elemen-
    tary education program for more
    than a year with Johnson County
    officials.
    Last Tuesday, during a meet-
    ing held by the Academic Affairs
    Committee of the Kansas Board of
    Regents, the topic came up for dis-
    cussion and recommendation.
    The committee recommended
    approval, according to the meetings
    agenda. But Kip Peterson, director
    of government relations and com-
    munications for the Kansas Board
    of Regents, said the committee
    didnt take any immediate action
    on Emporia States proposal.
    Marilyn Rhinehart, executive
    vice president for academic affairs
    and chief academic officer with
    Johnson County, said Emporia
    State proposed this program
    because it had become increasingly
    difficult for students to take advan-
    tage of education programs already
    in place in the Kansas City area due
    to full occupancy.
    Rhinehart said it is Johnson
    Countys goal to make higher edu-
    cation accessible to people who are
    either place or time bound.
    We need programs like this so
    people can have access, Rhinehart
    said. And that is probably the
    central feature of what Emporia
    State is trying to provide, espe-
    cially considering that they had
    so much success at Kansas City
    Kansas Community College with
    their program there.
    Ginsberg doesnt deny that stu-
    dents have probably been request-
    ing an education program. But he
    did stress that there are already
    multiple programs, either private
    or state, that could meet the needs
    of those students while being fair
    to them.
    You want students to pursue
    programs that they have a pretty
    good likelihood of getting a job,
    Ginsberg said. We already strug-
    gle finding placements for our
    students in the Johnson County
    region because the school districts
    are overwhelmed.
    In an e-mail sent by Jeffrey
    Vitter, per request for comment
    from the Kansas Board of Regents,
    Vitter outlined the concerns the
    University has with the approval.
    In the e-mail, Vitter said he does
    not oppose the program expansion
    but is worried about the significant
    budget cuts in K-12 schools that
    have resulted in the elimination of
    teaching positions.
    Both Vitter and Ginsberg
    describe the teaching market as
    over-saturated. Vitter said the
    term is in reference to college grad-
    uates seeking elementary teaching
    jobs, not potential undergradu-
    ates seeking elementary education
    degrees.
    For evidence of the market in
    the Kansas City metropolitan area,
    Ginsberg and Vitter refer to an
    informal survey conducted by the
    School of Education. According to
    Vitters e-mail, the survey of K-12
    human resources directors showed
    that very few elementary teach-
    ers are being hired. In the Blue
    Valley, Shawnee Mission, and De
    Soto School districts, there were
    68 elementary teachers hired last
    year, with more than 12,000 appli-
    cations filed for these openings.
    There was an average of about 175
    applications for every elementary
    position hired.
    If were having trouble finding
    placement sites for our current
    candidates, what sense is there to
    add more? Ginsberg said.
    Rhinehart said it is hard to
    believe that the market is satu-
    rated because there is a high rate
    of turnover, despite the fact that
    the financial situation is dire, as
    she put it.
    Bill Noblitt, director of mar-
    keting and media relations for
    Emporia State, declined to com-
    ment on the controversy sur-
    rounding the discussion.
    We want to make this a con-
    venient opportunity for education
    students and citizens in that area
    and this is pretty much the way
    that we see it, in that we are going
    to work with the Kansas Board of
    Regents for the approval process,
    Noblitt said.
    Ginsberg said while Emporia
    State may have done their research
    in terms of opportunity, the
    University is looking out for stu-
    dents in terms of job placement.
    I think we are the ones being
    fair, I dont think Emporia is being
    fair, Ginsberg said. If you dont
    mind just turning up people who
    dont get jobs in the field, you can
    do it and be successful but I think
    that is shirking our responsibility
    as a University to do that.
    The issue will be discussed again
    in the committees meeting next
    month.

    Last week, the United States
    issued an alert for U.S. citizens
    traveling to all European coun-
    tries. The State Department said
    mounting evidence of an immi-
    nent terrorist attack prompted
    the alert.
    There are currently 95
    University students studying
    abroad in European countries.
    Immediately after the national
    alert was issued, the students
    were e-mailed a second advisory.
    In a situation like this, it just
    provides students and parents
    with a platform to be more alert
    and prepared, Nancy Chaison,
    associate director of the Office of
    Study Abroad, said. We are hop-
    ing the alert will end Jan. 31, as
    the government has said, and not
    be extended.
    A spokesperson for the British
    government confirmed that evi-
    dence of an attack plot was being
    looked at very closely by the U.S.
    and its allies. The plot is said to
    mimic the 2008 Mumbai terrorist
    attack, which lasted three days
    and killed more than 160 people.
    A terrorist attack of this nature
    would target buses, trains or
    high-traffic areas. Ashley Curry,
    a junior from Leawood, is study-
    ing abroad in Barcelona and said
    she agreed that the warning was
    especially relevant for students.
    Ive been traveling almost
    every weekend, Curry said.
    Honestly, the thought that there
    would be a real danger there
    never crossed my mind.
    France, Britain and Spain all
    have a current travel advisory
    of high, but will not disclose if
    the classification is a result of the
    U.S. alert. A high travel advisory
    indicates a high, probable risk
    of a terror attack.
    Because there is no specific
    evidence as to where the attack
    may take place, a blanket advi-
    sory has been made for all of
    Europe. Curry said the warnings
    have led to fear and confusion for
    students.
    Last week, our classes were
    cancelled because of political
    protests going on in the city,
    Curry said. People were light-
    ing cars on fire. We werent even
    allowed to leave our houses, so
    obviously people were wondering
    if it was related to the alert.
    The protests were not related
    to the travel advisory, however,
    Grace Lancaster, a junior from
    Topeka, said she understood why
    students may be fearful.
    When I was studying abroad
    in London last summer, I trav-
    eled to Italy for a weekend,
    Lancaster said. There was a guy
    who kept trying to get me to get
    into a taxi, but it wasnt marked
    as one. When you dont speak the
    language, they really try to take
    advantage of your naiveness.
    The Office of Study Abroad
    instructs students to notify their
    resident director or the U.S.
    embassy before they leave their
    location to travel, and forward
    the office a number at which they
    can be reached in an emergency.
    The most important thing is
    to be aware of your surround-
    ings, Lancaster said. Weve
    heard stories about a guy who
    was offered a drink from an older
    man at a train station and woke
    up four hours later and all of his
    bags were gone. You have to trust
    the people you are around and
    talking to.
    Enrollment for the spring
    semester of study abroad ended
    Oct. 1, three days before the alert
    was issued. Chaison says if the
    alert is changed to a travel warn-
    ing, all University programs in
    the affected countries will be can-
    celled and any students there will
    be brought home immediately.
    Regardless of University policy,
    Lancaster feels the alert may deter
    students from going abroad.
    They dont really know if,
    when or where the attacks are
    going to happen, she said. Thats
    going to scare a lot of people. It
    may be a one in a million chance,
    but its still a chance.

    elementary 2+1+1Program
    will provide a quality elemen-
    tary preparation program to
    individuals residing in the
    Johnson County Kansas area
    who wish to complete the
    emporia State elementary
    teacher education program
    and KSde licensure recom-
    mendation through contin-
    ued engagement with JCCC.
    the program will allow
    candidates the ability to
    complete two years of
    general education course-
    work at the JCCC campus.
    In addition, the candidate
    would be able to complete
    the required eSU education
    course work taught by eSU
    faculty on the JCCC campus,
    meeting the needs of the
    placed bound candidate.
    the required professional
    feld experiences and student
    teaching requirement will
    be completed at elementary
    schools participating in the
    Professional development
    School (PdS) agreement
    established by eSU.
    Students likely to Enroll in
    the program
    based on a spring 2011
    start date, eSU and JCCC
    believe there are a minimum
    of 20 program candidates
    per student cohort. thus,
    by fall 2013, there is the
    potential for a consistent
    enrollment of 80 students a
    semester. Again, the poten-
    tial enrollment numbers are
    refective of students seeking
    face-to-face instruction and
    place bound in the Johnson
    County Kansas vicinity and
    are considered on the mini-
    mum end of the potential
    student learner.

    Halloween means
    adult dress up time
    st. LOUIs It might be the
    only night you will see teen heart-
    throb Justin bieber and snooki of
    "Jersey shore" out on a date or
    at least a guy with side-swept
    bangs and a girl with a sculpted
    pouf who look a lot like them.
    Halloween makes it acceptable
    to be outrageous. It's the one
    time of year when being the most
    outlandish, grotesque, risque,
    macabre or wacky person in the
    room is perfectly acceptable. And
    it's one of the few times adults
    get to indulge in make-believe.
    normally, there are so many
    fashion options that people feel
    overloaded with choices. rather
    than experiment and dress with
    abandon, it's much more typical
    for the general public to settle
    into a conservative niche and
    blend into the crowd.
    but on Halloween, we have
    license to throw caution, care and
    sanity to the wind.
    the guy in the ofce known
    for pleated chinos, brown belts,
    colored Polo shirts and loafers
    can be a mighty gladiator. the
    woman who lives in shirt dresses
    and low-heeled pumps can be a
    saucy witch.
    Let's not spend too much time
    considering the psychology of
    costumes. It would only spoil the
    fun.
    the only limits are your imagi-
    nation. ready-made costumes
    will save you from hunting or
    crafting. the options are endless,
    so we decided to ofer up some
    examples to help rev up your
    imagination.

    Lincolns cemetery
    to go eco-friendly
    the Lincoln tomb in spring-
    feld, Ill., one of the nation's most
    visited burial grounds, is about to
    get an underground heating and
    cooling system that is expected to
    cut energy bills, state ofcials said.
    "People may wonder, 'Why
    do you need to heat and cool a
    tomb?'" said david blanchette, a
    spokesman for the state capital
    development board, which au-
    thorized the project.
    the reason is the that Lincoln
    tomb has interior spaces, includ-
    ing a chamber. the body of the
    16th president rests beneath its
    foor, encased in a vault of rein-
    forced concrete.
    scheduled to start in late Oc-
    tober and be completed by late
    spring, the $376,000 project will
    replace an outdated system with
    one that relies on geothermal
    technology.
    the new system will bury a
    looplike network of pipes and
    wells as far as 300 feet under-
    ground. taking advantage of the
    constant underground tempera-
    ture, the system will draw heat
    into the tomb's interior in winter
    while cooling it in summer. It's ex-
    pected to help protect the tomb's
    historic fnishes.
    because the network will be
    located beneath the lawn in front
    of the tomb, the vault containing
    Lincoln's body won't be dis-
    turbed, blanchette said.
    Once the project is done, the
    lawn will appear as it does now,
    he said. "no one will know that
    there's anything underneath."
    state ofcials are touting the
    geothermal system as the frst of
    its kind at a state historic site.

    this newspaper
    I
    ts beginning to feel a lot like
    Halloween!
    Well, not really beginning,
    because Dillons has had that
    Halloween candy aisle since the
    dawn of Sept. 1, but Halloween is
    on its spooky way.
    Tis Halloween column goes
    out to all the ladies yeah, I can
    do that, just like a school dance
    D.J. Men, you can keep reading if
    you want I mean, it wont like
    de-masculinize you. And it might
    get a bit sexy!
    I went to a costume shop
    the other day to research what
    exactly Belle and Alice from
    Beauty and Te Beast and Alice in
    Wonderland, respectively, wore for
    a paper I had to write for my What
    Fictional Characters Wore: Jesus
    to Jacob from Twilight class.
    According to their costume
    selection, Belle and Alice were
    kind of scantily clad. In fact, if
    you were at the bottom of the
    rabbithole, you probably had an
    interesting show when Alice fell
    down it, and Belle wasnt so much
    playing hard-to-get as she was
    dressing like a stripper and staring
    of into space suggestively.
    But it wasnt just Belle and
    Alice, all of the costumes were
    a bit tight-ftting and lacking in
    fabric oh, Ill just say it they
    were all kind of whorey. So
    I promptly turned to the store
    clerk, yelled, Well, I never!, and
    stormed out of the store.
    Teres a scene in Mean Girls
    written by the brilliant Tina Fey in
    which Lindsay Lohans character
    shows up to a Halloween costume
    party dressed as the bride of
    Frankenstein. Her friends, dressed
    as whorey versions of mice, cats,
    and bunnies, are surprised when
    she shows up to the party not
    dressed like a total slut.
    Tis is true to life. Every
    Halloween, most of my women
    friends and even my sister, dress as
    scantily clad versions of referees,
    Batman, Robin, witches, nuns,
    etc.
    In fact, a friend of mine
    expressed interest in going as
    a banana one Halloween, but
    decided that it was not slutty
    enough, and she would be laughed
    at if she went through with it. And
    bananas are hilarious, people!
    Tis issue really plagues
    me, because its a cruel and
    unusual pressure for women
    to have. Victorias Secret even
    sells costumes now, which is
    funny, because DONT THEY
    NORMALLY SELL, LIKE,
    LINGERIE AND LOTION?
    And I dont think lotion counts
    as a costume! I think that females
    should have the same worries that
    I have to wear a costume thats
    sort of original and kind of funny.
    At this rate, women will all just
    wear red tape that spells out SEX
    over their breasts and crotch for
    future Halloweens.
    Its Halloween. Its about fun
    and candy. Youre women. And
    being a woman shouldnt just be
    about having a womans body.
    Women can be smart and clever.
    If you want to go as a drugged out
    Hannah Montana, do it! If you
    want to go as Oscar the grouch, go
    on ahead!
    Smart women, take back
    Halloween! It should be about
    what youre wearing, not how
    little.

    wenty-two million dollars.
    Its a large amount of money
    and its money thats coming
    to KU.
    Yesterdays announcement that
    the University is receiving $22
    million from the U.S. Department
    of Education to develop an assess-
    ment system for special education
    students is welcome good news.
    Trough the grant, a method
    will be created that assesses special
    education students during the
    learning proces rather than in stan-
    dardized tests. Te new method
    could ultimately be expanded to all
    students.
    Te grant is a major accomplish-
    ment for Chancellor Bernadette
    Gray-Little. Te assessment system
    will eventually be used in 11 states,
    undoubtedly raising the profle of
    the University in the area of educa-
    tion.
    Te grant also has the distinction
    of being the largest in KU history.
    Previously, the largest grant was
    $20 million for a new chemistry
    center. Tat grant was announced
    in 2008.
    For the typical student, it may
    be easy to dismiss the opportunity
    that the money represents. Afer all,
    its not as if the money will make
    tuition cheaper or directly beneft
    most University students.

    Cutting sodium intake
    now helps later in life
    HeALTH
    L
    ets face it, the average
    college student doesnt
    have the best diet.
    Convenient, cheap, tasty food
    that silences a rumbling stomach
    is all that matters afer a long
    day of class, or a late night cram
    session. Once hunger strikes the
    average student will either reach
    for a packet of Ramen noodles,
    or may splurge and order a sub.
    But one important factor is
    ofen neglected when students
    are deciding upon their next
    meal: sodium content.
    2,300 milligrams of sodium
    (equivalent to one teaspoon
    of table salt) is the maximum
    amount of sodium the average
    adult should consume in any
    given day, but according to
    webmd.com, 90 percent of
    Americans are getting far too
    much.
    Its easy to see why students are
    consuming too much sodium.
    One packet of Ramen contains
    1660 milligrams of sodium
    thats 70% of the recommended
    daily value! Jimmy Johns isnt
    any better; one of the healthier
    items on Jimmy Johns menu, a
    number 6 Vegetarian, has 873.07
    milligrams of sodium.
    So if a student eats one Jimmy
    Johns Vegetarian Sub, and has
    a packet of Ramen noodles
    in the same day, he or she has
    already consumed too much
    sodium, and thats providing no
    additional table salt was added to
    any of his or her food throughout
    the day.
    Consistently eating high-
    sodium foods can have serious
    health consequences, according
    to webmd.com, such as high
    blood pressure, heart disease,
    stroke, and kidney disease.
    An article in Science Daily, a
    science research website, cites a
    recent study that estimates that,
    reducing salt in the American
    diet by as little as one-half
    teaspoon per day could prevent
    nearly 100,000 heart attacks and
    92,000 deaths each year.
    Now most students are not
    going to die anytime soon from
    getting too much salt, but the
    fact is what we do with our
    health now can have serious
    consequences later in life.
    Cutting back on sodium is one
    of the easiest things students can
    do to improve their health.
    Unfortunately, limiting salt is
    no easy feat; salt is in virtually
    everything particularly
    those quick, convenient, go-to
    foods college students eat every
    day. However, it is possible for
    students to maintain a low-
    sodium lifestyle and eat quick-
    and-easy food that wont break
    their budget.
    Planning and patience is key
    to reduce sodium consumption.
    Many common foods have
    ridiculously high sodium
    content, so its important to read
    nutrition labels. When eating
    out especially at fast food
    restaurants check online
    for the nutrition facts before
    ordering. Even food that seems
    like a healthy choice can have
    high levels of sodium.
    Students should make lifestyle
    changes now, rather than waiting
    until their doctor diagnoses
    them with a disease related to
    their unsuspected cravings for
    sodium-laden foods.

    In Mondays UDK, there was
    an article which stated that belief
    in macroevolution was a good
    indicator for political eligibility.
    Te article then proceeded to
    lambaste Tea-Partiers based on
    the authors preconceived notions
    of how conservatives and fscal
    libertarians reason (via a question-
    and-answer segment between the
    author and his imaginary Tea-
    Party-supporting friend).
    Ignoring the (obvious)
    condescensions, Id frst like to
    inform the author that there are
    fscal libertarians who believe in
    macroevolution, and that belief in
    macroevolution isnt an exclusive
    attribute of any political party.
    I would also like to confront
    the authors assertion, ... Obama
    is not a socialist, hes a Neo-
    Keynesian. Does this author
    even realize that socialism,
    communism, Marxism and
    Keynesianism (and mercantilism
    and feudalism, while were at it)
    are all forms of collectivism? In
    other words, does the author
    realize that these aforementioned
    ideologies (and economic-based
    dogmas, i.e., Marxism) advocate
    some form of arbitrary market
    interference? To infer that they
    are antithetical to each another,
    or to propose that the diferences
    between each philosophy are
    widespread, is to ignore the truth
    that all of these philosophies
    favor the direct control of market
    interactions by political planning
    bodies (to varying degrees, of
    course). Tey are specie of the
    genus collectivism, to quote
    Friedrich Hayek.
    In saying that Obama is
    a Neo-Keynesian but not a
    socialist, the author displays a
    profound ignorance of general
    macroeconomic theory and the
    infuences of Keynesian thought.
    Since Keyness GT was infuenced
    by socialists like Gesell and
    Malthus, can one say, Obama is
    a Neo-Keynesian, not a socialist
    and be deemed knowledgeable?
    All this being said, Id like to
    mention that there are no specifc
    litmus tests for political eligibility.
    For instance, if a person believes
    in evolution but also believes
    in dogmas like a need-based
    economy, central-planning,
    class-warfare economics (i.e.,
    mercantilism), then is he really
    eligible for public ofce? Since
    Obamas president, I guess the
    answer is, sadly, yes.

    I cannot begin to comprehend
    why it is a shock to anyone that
    hazing occurs in the fraternities
    on campus. Most students who
    would disagree with the notion
    would be lying. Tat being said
    what can a student expect when
    joining a fraternity? It is ironic to
    me that hazing can make front
    page news yet its occurrence is
    almost secondary information to
    the general student body. What
    is disturbing is the fact that it
    literally takes a pledge to break
    his neck in order for there to
    be any action taken against this
    nonsense. As for the University
    Hazing code, it is a joke. I do not
    know how anyone can be ex-
    pected to take the code seriously
    when it takes only the harshest
    of outcomes for a fraternity to
    be put under scrutiny. I jump to
    a conclusion when I say most
    students know what really goes
    on but lets face it, it is not a big
    jump to make. If one fraternity
    is being investigated for hazing it
    would be an appalling assump-
    tion to make that it is the only
    one in which hazing occurs. Get
    real. Maybe a campus wide in-
    vestigation of all the fraternities
    should be held seeing as there
    is such a strict policy against it.
    Until then I, and Im sure many
    other students, will never be able
    to take this policy seriously.

    Fire alarms have sent hundreds
    of residents of Hashinger Hall,
    1632 Engel Rd, out into the park-
    ing lot five times this semester.
    According to a Lawrence Fire
    Department report, the alarm was
    pulled maliciously only once.
    The other four alarms were set
    off by steam in the bathrooms.
    Hashinger resident Christian
    Sparrow, a freshman from
    Leawood, said the RAs have told
    them to keep the bathroom win-
    dows open to allow the steam to
    escape. Sparrow said it would be
    helpful if the RAs put up signs to
    remind residents to keep the win-
    dows open. Students often close
    the windows because it becomes
    cold in the bathrooms, he said.
    Jennifer Wamelink, associ-
    ate director of student housing,
    confirmed that the alarms were
    caused by steam. She said the situ-
    ation was under control.
    Hashinger Hall was built in 1962
    and renovated in 2006. During the
    renovation the dorm was outfitted
    with a new mechanical, electrical
    and plumbing system. The dorm
    holds 358 students.
    The report said the fire alarm
    in Hashinger Hall has been unin-
    tentionally set off nine times since
    last October.
    Its really annoying, said
    Jessica Doane, a freshman from
    Olathe. Its always at the most
    awkward times. But its because of
    the showers. Were not all smok-
    ing in here.
    Doane said residents also get
    written up whenever an alarm
    goes off. She said their rooms are
    searched while they wait in the
    parking lot, and students who
    have alcohol, drugs or other pro-
    hibited items in their rooms are
    penalized.
    Doane said one of her friends
    had covered their smoke alarm so
    he could smoke in his room. The
    cover was found and removed
    and the student was written up.
    Everybody gets in trouble
    when it happens, Doane said.

    The U.S. Department of
    Education has given the largest
    grant in KU history $22 million
    to researchers at the University
    of Kansas. The grant will fund the
    development of a new assessment
    system for special education stu-
    dents.
    The system, called the Dynamic
    Learning Maps Alternate
    Assessment System, is led by
    Neal Kingston, director of KUs
    Center for Educational Testing and
    Evaluation.
    By using the new system, teach-
    ers can determine how each student
    is learning by using a learning
    map. The learning map details
    the thousands of skills students
    develop throughout their educa-
    tion in order to discover how stu-
    dents learn best.
    Its long been realized that
    when accountability is based on
    test scores, teachers will teach to
    the test, Kingston said in a press
    release. The new system will turn
    around that process and design
    tests to model good instruction
    to be driven by and be part of
    instruction instead of a stand-alone
    activity.
    Departments of education in 11
    other states will use the program
    beginning in the 2014-15 school
    year. These states include: Iowa,
    Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri,
    New Jersey, North Carolina,
    Oklahoma, Utah, West Virginia
    and Wisconsin.
    The Center for Educational
    Testing and Evaluation has been a
    leader in the development of assess-
    ments for K-12 students for nearly
    30 years, said Rick Ginsberg, dean
    of the School of Education, in the
    release. This new grant is yet
    another example of CETEs lead-
    ership nationally in developing
    assessments to assist educators with
    innovative approaches for support-
    ing teachers in working with all
    students regardless of their aca-
    demic abilities.
    In addition to the 11 partici-
    pating states and the Center for
    Educational Testing and Evaluation,
    the Dynamic Learning Maps
    consortium includes faculty from
    the Beach Center on Disability,
    Center for Research on Learning,
    Center for Research Methods and
    Data Analysis and Department
    of Special Education.
    Key external partners include
    AbleLink Technologies, the
    Arc, the Center for Literacy and
    Disability Studies at the University
    of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and
    Edvantia.
    Kingston said the new assess-
    ment model eventually could be
    used for all students.
    With this grant, the University
    of Kansas has an opportunity to
    improve the quality of education
    received by countless children,
    said Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
    Little in the release. By shaping
    the future of educational account-
    ability, Neal Kingston and his team
    will help teachers better connect
    with students.

    Te 2010 Kansas football team
    has been consistently inconsis-
    tent. When fans expected an easy
    win against North Dakota State,
    the team lost. When fans ex-
    pected an overwhelming loss to
    Georgia Tech, the team pulled of
    the upset.
    When the team headed to
    Waco, Texas, to open up Big 12
    conference play, a Kansas loss
    would not have been a big sur-
    prise as the Bears were home
    favorites. Te way the team lost,
    however, caused many to wonder
    how good (or bad) this team re-
    ally is.
    Fans hoping to fnd the teams
    identity in Tursday nights game
    might need to wait another week.
    First of all, strange things happen
    on Tursday night games in col-
    lege football. Teres no explana-
    tion for that.
    More predictable is the stress
    factor that the team will surely
    face against K-State.
    Tat rivalry is something that
    the players have been prepar-
    ing for. Even sophomore safety
    Lubbock Smith, who hails from
    Dallas, said
    he knows the
    game has a lot
    of magnitude.
    I think its a
    big deal for ev-
    eryone on the
    team, not just
    guys from Kan-
    sas, Smith said.
    We know its a
    big rivalry and
    we all want to come out with the
    win and make everyone proud.
    While Kansas has been on a
    roller coaster ride, Bill Snyders
    Wildcats started their season
    as smooth as ever. Wins over
    UCLA, Missouri State, Central
    Florida and conference foe Iowa
    State propelled them to 4-0 and
    on the cusp of being in the top
    25. Tat end-
    ed when Ne-
    braska rolled
    into Manhat-
    tan last week
    and handed
    K-State a 48-
    13 pounding.
    Te blowout
    loss landed
    K-States mo-
    mentum at
    ground zero next to the Jayhawks.
    Tursday nights winner will gain
    much needed momentum while
    the other will be lef sitting in the
    depths of the Big 12 cellar.
    Senior running back Daniel
    Tomas will be a primary chal-
    lenge for the Kansas defense.
    Tomas has racked up 691 rush-
    ing yards and six touchdowns so
    far this season, and coach Turner
    Gill has taken notice.
    Were not going to be able to
    stop him, he said. We just need
    to slow him down.
    Slowing down the nations
    eighth-leading rusher could go
    a long way in securing Gills frst
    Sunfower Showdown victory.
    Nebraska was able to hold Tom-
    as to just 63 yards on the ground,
    which proved it could be done.
    When not focused on the run-
    ning attack, senior cornerback
    Chris Harris hopes to cause
    turnovers while making K-State
    quarterback Carson Cofmans
    life miserable.
    Turnovers defnitely come
    with getting pressure on the
    quarterback for one, Harris said.
    We also need to make him make
    mistakes and confuse him all
    game.
    Tat goal is attainable for the
    Kansas defense. K-State is last in
    the Big 12 in passing ofense and
    Cofman is 11th in total passing
    yards this year.
    Redshirt freshman quarter-
    back Jordan Webb had his own
    troubles in his week fve start
    against Baylor, and the results
    were not pretty. His frst Big
    12 start ended with two inter-
    ceptions and three sacks to go
    along with his measly 171 yards
    through the air. Gill said the Bay-
    lor game was defnitely a setback
    for Webb. Against K-State, Gill
    wants Webb and the ofense to
    put up at least 28 points, some-
    thing theyve accomplished twice
    so far this season.
    Kansas has shown it can
    bounce back from a tough loss
    and stop a powerful running at-
    tack similar to what they will see
    against the Wildcats.
    History and home-feld side
    with Jayhawks.
    Talent and coaching favor the
    Wildcats.

    in-state rival Kansas State, a team
    with a 4-1 record and the nations
    eighth-leading rusher, Daniel
    Thomas. As coach Turner Gill
    outlined in a press conference on
    Monday, a main key to the game
    is tackling.
    During the bye week, scout run-
    ning backs took an extra load of
    hits and turf burns as first-string
    defensive players worked on tack-
    ling drills. This was all in an effort
    to have less than 10 missed tackles
    against K-State.
    Although there are no missed-
    tackle numbers to reference, tack-
    ling has undeniably been an issue
    for the Kansas defense. Opponents
    have run on Kansas for a total of
    938 yards in the first five games,
    which is just 10 yards less than the
    total number of pass yards against
    the Kansas defense. Whether that
    is due to missed tackles or missed
    assignments, the rushing numbers
    could be cut down with better
    execution of small details.
    Tackling is not a small detail.
    It is the foundation of defense.
    With every snap of the ball, the
    united goal of the defense is to
    get the guy on the ground. And
    although three teams have run for
    more than 200 yards against the
    Kansas defense this year, the team
    has shown the singular moments
    where the players show they can
    tackle.
    Against Georgia Tech, a team
    similar to K-State in its depen-
    dence on running, senior line-
    backer Justin Springer had 15
    tackles, including three for a loss
    and a sack. The Kansas defense
    rose up to bring down the Georgia
    Tech running back and quarter-
    back in a game that defined this
    season for the Jayhawks.
    Now, the Wildcats are bring-
    ing a similar challenge to town.
    Thomas has rushed for 691 yards
    this season, which is already more
    than half of what he rushed for
    throughout all of last year. The
    tough Nebraska defense slowed
    him down for his lowest rushing
    total in a game last week with
    relentless tackling and hustle.
    Kansas must do the same. In
    the press conference on Monday,
    Gill focused on the importance
    of intensity on defense and creat-
    ing turnovers, which all will stem
    from the first step of tackling well.
    When asked if the defense is more
    suited to suit a run first offensive
    attack, Gill showed some confi-
    dence in his teams ability to stop
    Thomas.
    It might be, Gill said, just
    because of what has happened
    here in the first four or five ball
    games in what our defense has
    shown in being able to play the
    run maybe a little bit better than
    the pass.
    If the defense can wrap up
    the legs of Thomas, which are
    essentially the foundation of the
    K-State offense, the Jayhawks
    might have a chance to bring
    down the house in this historic
    rivalry.

    Come Friday, its basketball
    season.
    At 6:30 p.m. the doors will
    open for Late Night at the Phog,
    and the 2010-2011 Kansas bas-
    ketball season will officially be
    under way. Freshmen guards Josh
    Selby and Royce Woolridge will
    step onto the Allen Fieldhouse
    court in front of 16,300 fans for
    the first time as Jayhawks.
    They cant wait.
    When Friday comes, at 6:30,
    oh yes, Im going to be excited,
    Selby said.
    Selby hasnt yet been cleared
    for games, so it will be fans first,
    and maybe only, look at how he
    will fit with the team.
    The team has had plenty of
    opportunities to play with each
    other. They spent the summer
    semester together. Theyve sur-
    vived Bill Self s notorious boot
    camp. Theyve played countless
    games of pickup.
    But Fridays different. Even
    for Brady Morningstar, a red-
    shirt senior who will turn 25 this
    season, Late Night at the Phog is
    something to look forward to.
    Yes, he said, throwing back
    his head and smiling. I cant wait
    to get the season underway.
    Morningstar said the team will
    do its traditional skit-and-dance
    routine, along with a scrimmage
    to close the night out. He wasnt
    sure what the seniors were going
    to have planned for the night
    though.
    Late Night always serves as
    a big recruiting night for the
    Jayhawks, as well as an experi-
    ence for the fans. This year is no
    different.
    Its big, Self
    said. Its prob-
    ably the biggest
    one weve had.
    Its an important
    weekend for us.
    According to
    Rivals.com, the
    Jayhawks will
    have 12 potential
    recruits, includ-
    ing three from the class of 2011,
    four from the class of 2012 and
    five from the class of 2013.
    The three 2011 recruits No.
    4 LeBryan Nash, No. 17 Ben
    McLemore and No. 76 Angelo
    Chol would likely all compete
    for immediate playing time if
    they came to Kansas. Nash, in
    particular, is Kansas best shot
    at signing a top-10 recruit in the
    class.
    Woolridge knows how big an
    influence Late Night can have. He
    committed to Kansas after visit-
    ing for Late Night in 2009. On his
    visit, the fans at Allen Fieldhouse
    gave a standing ovation to him
    and the other recruits.
    When I came here I just saw
    the huge lines and all that type
    of stuff, Woolridge said. I was
    like, Wow, this is real. This is
    amazing. I came in here and the
    crowd was clapping and partying.
    It was just amazing, something
    that youll never experience any-
    where else.
    Less than a month later, he was
    a Jayhawk
    commit.
    A lot of us
    came to Late
    Night, and
    thats mostly
    the main
    reason why
    most of us
    came here,
    he said. Its
    definitely a
    huge recruiting night.
    Now that Woolridge is part of
    the experience, hes looking for-
    ward to what hell have to do.
    Im going to have to show off
    my dance moves a little bit, so Im
    just excited, he said.
    What kind of moves does he
    have?
    I cant tell you. Its a secret,
    youre just going to have to see.

    Lets face it: Brett Favre is a prima donna
    who loves attention. And he finally got the
    shiny new toy that he wanted: Randy Moss.
    He wanted Moss so bad in Green Bay that
    when the Packers did not acquire him, Favre
    wanted to leave the team. Andrew Brandt, a
    writer for nationalfootballpost.com and for-
    mer Packers capologist, pointed out multiple
    times in his column that Favre announced
    his first retirement the day after Moss inked
    a three-year deal extending his time in New
    England.
    Growing up, I used to dread the day my
    childhood hero would retire, and wonder
    about the dark days that would surely accom-
    pany his departure. Thankfully, the Packers
    have found a very capable replacement and
    their future looks bright. But through the
    whole ordeal I have to give credit to my dad
    for giving me some of the best advice on Favre
    through the years.
    After Favres last game as a Packer, the
    bitterly cold January 2008 NFC champion-
    ship game against the Giants, my dad rightly
    remarked that in the second half Favre did
    not look like he wanted to be out there, his
    old body no longer able to handle the cold. He
    said how Favre would go straight to the side-
    line and bundle up while the much younger
    Eli Manning looked more willing to go out
    there and compete.
    He then said he would be surprised if
    Favre played more than one more year of
    football because at the time, we assumed
    he would retire as a Packer and wouldnt
    dare join the rival Vikings. We all know what
    happened next. Favre was traded to the Jets,
    struggled down the stretch in the cold, and
    then retired. Afer his realease, he signed a
    two-year deal with the Vikings.
    Now there were always reports that
    Favre was angry with general manager Ted
    Thompson for not going out and getting
    an impact-free agent and choosing to build
    through the draft instead. And I was always
    a little angry with him for this because I
    believed the Packers had a great group of wide
    receivers to throw to. And and even though I
    would have welcomed the signing of Moss, I
    was worried that it might hinder the develop-
    ment of the younger guys like Greg Jennings.
    In the end, I believe Ted Thompson did
    the right thing standing up to Favre. In the
    NFL no individual player is bigger than the
    team, even if he has thrown more than 500
    touchdown passes. So good for you Brett, Im
    glad you finally got what you always wanted.
    Although I will always cherish the 16 great
    years you have given me, I dont know if I
    will ever be able to forgive you for the slights
    you have taken toward the Green Bay orga-
    nization since your departure. And no, I will
    never be cheering for you again.

    ARLINGTON, Texas
    David Price and the Tampa Bay
    Rays worked hard all season to
    earn home-field advantage in
    the AL playoffs.
    This time, they need to make
    use of it if they want to keep
    playing.
    Tampa Bay forced a deciding
    Game 5 in the division series
    against the Texas Rangers with
    a 5-2 victory Sunday. The Rays
    avoided elimination twice on
    the road after losing the first
    two at Tropicana Field, setting
    up the chance for an improbable
    comeback.
    I feel a little better than 50-50
    going home at this point, said
    Evan Longoria, who homered
    and had two doubles in Game 4.
    Weve really battled to get back
    to even.
    Price, the Rays 19-game win-
    ner, takes the mound Tuesday
    night against Rangers ace Cliff
    Lee in a rematch of the Game
    1 starters.
    Lee equaled a postseason best
    with 10 strikeouts in a 5-1 vic-
    tory over Price, who relishes the
    second chance after giving up
    five runs and nine hits in 6 2-3
    innings last week.
    They got me back on the
    mound on Tuesday, so I appreci-
    ate it, Price said. It stung a little
    bit. I definitely wanted to give
    us a better chance to win.
    The winner hosts the wild-
    card Yankees in Game 1 of
    the AL championship series
    Friday night. New York swept
    Minnesota in three games,
    wrapping up that series with a
    6-1 win Saturday night.
    Tampa Bay is trying to join
    the 2001 Yankees as the only
    teams to win a best-of-five
    playoff after losing the first
    two games at home. New York

    The volleyball team will take
    the Big 12 Defensive Player of the
    Week with them against Baylors
    nationally ranked defense. The
    Jayhawks go to Waco, Texas,
    tonight after upsetting No. 10 Iowa
    State in Lawrence.
    Senior defensive specialist
    Melissa Manda earned the weekly
    honor after recording a career-high
    32 digs Saturday, which equals the
    most for a Big 12 player this year.
    Manda said the whole team
    was really, really happy about
    Saturdays win.
    Weve been playing really well
    at home lately, she said, so we
    know that we could just step up
    our game and push back a little bit
    and that wed have it.
    The Jayhawks
    have fared bet-
    ter at home
    (9-2) than
    away (1-4).
    They improved
    Saturday to
    12-6 overall
    and 3-4 in con-
    ference play.
    Manda said the
    team would
    try to keep its
    momentum and refocus on the
    road.
    For some reason, we havent
    been able to find the fire that we
    have at home, so we need to take
    that with us, I guess.
    Sophomore middle blocker
    Tayler Tolefree said after Saturdays
    match that consistency would be a
    key for the Jayhawks.
    Whether its three games or five
    games, just playing consistently
    and not falling behind or being so
    up and down, she said. It felt like
    we were in a rhythm tonight.
    Baylor, like Kansas, is 3-4 in
    conference play after sweeping
    Colorado on Saturday. The Bears
    are having more success on the
    road (5-2) than at home (3-4). The
    Bears offense hit for a .333 effi-
    ciency Saturday (Kansas averages
    .202) with eight different players
    combining to rack up 47 kills. But
    the Bears defense may present the
    bigger challenge.
    Baylors defense leads the NCAA
    in digs, averaging per set. Thats
    three more than Nebraska, their
    nearest competitor in the Big 12.
    Baylor defensive specialist Caitlyn
    Trice leads the Big 12 in digs with
    an average of 5.32 per set, while
    outside hitter and libero Allison
    King takes seventh in the league
    with 4.04.
    But Kansas has some highly-
    ranked offensive players to field,
    too. Senior outside hitter Karina
    Garlington is sixth in the league
    with 3.49 kills per set and has gone
    for double-digit kills in each of the
    past seven matches. Meanwhile,
    junior setter
    Nicole Tate,
    who has been
    starting match-
    es since confer-
    ence play began,
    is seventh in the
    Big 12 with 9.14
    assists.
    Manda is the
    second Kansas
    player this
    season to take
    Player of the Week honors. The
    league named Brianne Riley, also
    a defensive specialist, Rookie of
    the Week on Sept. 20. Riley has
    remained on the sidelines since
    a minor head injury at Colorado
    two weeks ago. Coach Ray Bechard
    said that Riley would return to
    play when she was able to and that
    he was pleased with how Manda
    had come through for the team.
    Match time is 7 p.m. Links to
    free radio through the Baylor

    This weekend, the soccer team
    hopes to put their disappointment
    from last weekends losses behind.
    The team will to Lubbock, Texas
    on Friday to take on Texas Tech
    (9-5-1 overall, 2-3-1 conference)
    and come back home to challenge
    the Baylor Bears (9-5-1, 2-4) on
    Sunday.
    Kansas is currently sitting at the
    bottom of the Big 12 conference
    with a 1-5 record. Coach Mark
    Francis knows that his team hasnt
    made things easy with their poor
    start.
    I told the players today, we have
    four games left. We can still win
    all four games and still be in good
    shape, he said.
    This weekend offers an oppor-
    tunity for the team to get a few
    wins against teams in the middle
    of the pack in the Big 12 standings.
    So far the Jayhawks have been up
    against some of the best in the Big
    12. Out of the six conference games
    Kansas has played, four have been
    against teams in the top five of the
    standings.
    Francis said that Fridays game
    will be an important sign as to how
    the team finishes out the season.
    We have to go into Fridays
    game knowing that right now our
    season is hinging on us getting the
    result, he said.
    Senior forward Kaitlyn
    Cunningham also said a win on
    Friday is important in getting the
    team back on the same page.
    Right now we arent necessarily
    down, just a little out of it having
    two losses this past weekend, she
    said. We need to get back in the
    swing of things.
    Cunningham, a team captain,
    said that she has responsibility to
    lead the underclassmen and keep
    them positive.
    Francis said the main factor
    in whether or not Kansas would
    have a successful weekend would
    be scoring when given the oppor-
    tunity.
    We have got to do a better job
    with the chances that we create
    and putting them away, he said.
    On Tuesday, the team practiced
    on a shorter field, with an empha-
    sis on scoring goals and work-
    ing on finishing around the goal.
    Cunningham notices the teams
    need to get better in this facet of
    the game.
    Ultimately we need to score
    goals. That has kind of been our
    plague right now, she said.
    Granted, without a good defen-
    sive game it wont matter how
    many goals they score, but Francis
    feels the defense has been solid
    overall.
    Defensively we have done a
    pretty good job for the most part,
    he said. When we have made
    mistakes we have gotten punished
    for it, and in the Big 12 thats what
    happens against good teams.
    On Sunday the Jayhawks will
    return to the Jayhawk Soccer
    Complex to take on Baylor at 1

    DES MOINES, Iowa No. 5
    Nebraska got a raucous welcome
    at Kansas State as they faced the
    Wildcats for the last time as a Big
    12 opponent.
    It didnt take long for the Husk-
    ers to quiet the crowd and turn the
    95th and potentially fnal meeting
    between the longtime rivals last
    week into a rout.
    Colorado? Te Big 12s other
    lame duck program is on the
    verge of going out on a much
    more silent note.
    Nebraska is of to a fantastic
    start in its fnal Big 12 tour before
    joining the Big Ten next year. Te
    Huskers (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) blew
    out Kansas State 48-13 and have
    things clicking on both sides of
    the ball heading into a huge date
    with Texas this weekend.
    All the noise in the world didnt
    bother Nebraska, which eas-
    ily survived its frst of two road
    games against Big 12 North oppo-
    nents. Te Huskers also visit Iowa
    State in early November.
    I wear headsets and dont hear
    the noise, but Im sure it was at
    least, until we fnished laying eggs
    I think it was probably quite
    vocal, Kansas State coach Bill
    Snyder said.
    Te Bufaloes fnal conference
    trip to Missouri was a dud.
    Te 21st-ranked Tigers (5-0,
    1-0) shut out Colorado 26-0, cap-
    ping their rivalry with the Bufs
    with fve straight wins by a com-
    bined score of 203-40.
    Colorado had bounced back
    from a 52-7 loss at future Pac-12
    rival California with wins over
    Hawaii and Georgia. But the Bufs
    lost their 13th straight road game
    against the Tigers on the 20th an-
    niversary of the infamous ffh
    down game at Faurot Field.
    Colorado coach Dan Hawk-
    ins said he didnt think the at-
    mosphere in Columbia was any
    crazier than usual. Te bigger
    issue for the Bufs (3-2, 0-1) was
    Missouris defense, which handed
    Colorado just its second shutout
    in 262 games.
    Were playing good team de-
    fense, Missouri coach Gary Pin-
    kel said. Were getting better each
    week, and with a lot of the little
    things, attention to detail things
    that we needed to do.
    Nebraska handled its fnal Big
    12 road opener in impressive
    fashion, rolling over the Wildcats
    behind another brilliant perfor-
    mance from freshman quarter-
    back Taylor Martinez.
    Martinez, who was named the
    Big 12s ofensive player of the
    week, ran for 241 yards and threw
    for 128 more, leading the Huskers
    on four scoring drives that took
    fve plays or less.
    Hes more than just a young
    guy that can run fast, Snyder said.
    We created some opportunities
    for him to showcase his speed and
    he took full advantage of it each
    and every time. I think hes a very
    talented player.
    Next, the Huskers host Texas
    (3-2, 1-1) in a rematch of last years
    memorable league title game.
    As few Nebraska fans will ever
    forget, the Longhorns were given
    an extra second at the end of the
    game afer a video replay. Tat al-
    lowed Hunter Lawrence to boot a
    46-yard feld goal and deny Ne-
    braska a trip to a BCS bowl game.
    Te game doesnt have quite the
    buzz it was expected to have afer
    the Longhorns fell to both UCLA
    and Oklahoma.

    Jayhawks focus on turnover opportunities
    BY MIKE VERNON
    mvernon@kansan.com
    There are certain mistakes a
    football team commits that can
    devastate not only the team play-
    ing, but also the fans watching.
    Penalties are one thing, missed
    tackles are another and then there
    are the dreaded turnovers.
    Something really important for
    us to get done is we must create
    turnovers, coach Turner Gill said.
    So far this season, Kansas has
    killed too many drives by either
    coughing the ball up or throw-
    ing it into their opponents hands.
    The defense has yet to bring fans
    to their feet by
    coming up with
    a thrilling turn-
    over either.
    The turn-
    over margin so
    far this season
    is not pretty.
    The offense
    has given the
    ball away eight
    times in four
    games, with four in their latest
    game. The defense has only taken
    the ball away from the offense
    three times all season with a turn-
    over margin of minus five after
    four games.
    During the bye week, the Kansas
    defense spent a lot more time
    working on their ability to create
    turnovers.
    We definitely did turnover cir-
    cuit every day instead of a couple
    of times a week, Chris Harris
    said. Its been a big emphasis this
    week.
    The secondary is ready to
    increase the low number of inter-
    ceptions they have had so far on
    the year. That starts with putting
    pressure on the opposing quarter-
    back as well as confusing him.
    Turnovers come with getting
    pressure on the quarterback, and
    making the quarterback make
    mistakes with the ball, Harris
    said. That has
    been the main
    focus really.
    F o r c i n g
    fumbles is not
    as easy for the
    team to prac-
    tice, but more
    a matter of
    players making
    the most out of
    opportunities.
    We just have to execute ripping
    the ball out, Harris said.
    Fortunately for the Jayhawks,
    they can recognize the problem,
    and they have seven more games
    to try to turn that margin into a
    positive number. Thursday night
    plays as an opportunity to test
    their turnover skills, especially if
    they want to defeat the Wildcats.
    We need to get three turn-
    overs, Gill said when going over
    his keys to this weeks game.
    The coaching staff has enforced
    the need to create turnovers into
    the defensive players minds.
    Thats what were going to need
    to get the offense back on the field
    and keep us off the field, safety
    Lubbock Smith said.
    The defense has put in the work
    during this bye week, and late
    Thursday night will be telling of
    these efforts. We definitely have
    gotten more turnovers in practice,
    Harris said. We just have to bring
    how we practice to the game.

    cROSS cOUNTRY
    Jayhawks hope to become chariot of fre in cross country tournament
    BY LAUREN NEWMAN
    lnewman@kansan.com
    This Saturday the mens and
    womens cross country teams
    will travel to Indiana to com-
    pete in the NCAA Pre-Nationals
    Invitational. This meet will have
    more competition than the
    Jayhawks have faced in their past
    meets.
    There will be a total of 70
    colleges from across the coun-
    try. The race will be held at
    two different locations because
    there are numerous colleges
    competing.
    Sophomore Natalie Becker,
    who had a breakout race at the
    last meet in Wisconsin, thinks
    that the time and effort that
    the women Jayhawks spent prac-
    ticing will be put to good use
    this upcoming weekend. During
    their two-week break they have
    increased the work outs and
    communicated more thoroughly
    about the goals of Pre-Nationals,
    she said.
    In workouts were supposed
    to work together and feed off of
    each other, Becker said.
    Sophomore Tessa Turcotte
    agrees with Becker.
    Our team is
    really close and
    we do a lot of
    things together,
    Turcotte said.
    We are trying
    to remain posi-
    tive and keep a
    happy attitude
    during our
    practices.
    Turcotte said
    she learned a lot from her last
    meet and hopes to use the expe-
    rience in a positive way. Turcotte
    also hopes for the team to jump
    out quicker
    than they
    have in the
    past.
    Our strat-
    egies mainly
    are getting
    out fast dur-
    ing our first
    mile and pack
    r u n n i n g ,
    Turcotte said.
    We also dont want to freak out
    because it is a big race.
    As for the mens team they
    have been trying to keep an
    upbeat attitude with competi-
    tion. Junior Austin Bussing, one
    of the three captains, believes
    that communication and pack
    running is the key to doing well
    in their next meet.
    I expect our race to be an
    indication of our resiliency
    because after the Wisconsin
    meet a lot of our guys, includ-
    ing myself, felt beat up, Bussing
    said. The whole season is a test
    of our resolve as a team and I
    think that we are finally going to
    do what we are capable of doing.
    Weve been knocked down but I
    believe that this upcoming meet
    will be one of those getting back
    up meets.

    Miami victorious against Moscow
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    MIAMI CSKA Moscow pro-
    vided one scare, then LeBron James
    gave Miami another.
    The Heat survived both.
    James scored 22 points in 26
    minutes before leaving with leg
    cramps in the third quarter, Chris
    Bosh added 17 points and eight
    rebounds, and the Heat overcame
    an early 10-point deficit to beat
    the Euroleague powerhouse 96-85
    in an exhibition game on Tuesday
    night.
    Im fine, said James, who
    will travel with the Heat to New
    Orleans but is not expected to play
    Wednesday which the two-time
    reigning MVP revealed postgame
    was the Heat plan even before the
    cramping issue. I can be ready to
    play the next game if I needed to
    play.
    Former Duke star Trajan
    Langdon scored 20 for CSKA
    Moscow, which got 17 from Jamont
    Gordon and 15 from Ramunas
    Siskauskas.
    It took a 23-4 run in the third
    quarter with James and Bosh
    combining for 19 of those points
    for Miami to create any sort of
    comfort zone over their Russian
    guests, who will also face Oklahoma
    City and Cleveland on their NBA
    preseason tour before returning to
    Moscow early next week.
    Second half, we just concen-
    trated on doing our jobs, doing
    what we do, doing it with effort and
    doing it right, doing it how weve
    been trying to do it since training
    camp, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
    said. And our focus and commit-
    ment was better.
    This one wasnt decided until the
    final minutes.
    Langdons jumper with 4:15
    remaining cut Miamis lead to five,
    but the Heat answered with four
    quick points. Kenny Hasbrouck
    fighting for a roster spot found
    Udonis Haslem for a layup on the
    next Miami possession, then added
    a driving layup in transition for a
    90-81 lead.
    Hasbrouck finished with 12
    points and four assists for Miami,
    as his long shot bid to make the
    team might have received a boost.
    Who knows? Spoelstra said.
    And thats what Ive told him. Just
    play. ... If you play poorly, nothings
    going to happen, so you only con-
    trol what you can control, and hes
    an attacking player
    Matjaz Smodis scored 11 for
    CSKA Moscow.
    Miami played again without
    Dwyane Wade, who is continuing
    to recover from a strained right
    hamstring suffered in the preseason
    opener on Oct. 5. Mike Miller
    started in his place again for the
    Heat, who were also without Carlos
    Arroyo and Jamaal Magloire, nei-
    ther of whom is expected to be back
    when Miami visits New Orleans on
    Wednesday.
    James reached for his right ham-
    string with 3:51 left in the third
    quarter, walking with a bit of a
    limp off the floor and then quick-
    ly through the tunnel toward the
    Miami locker room. He was fol-
    lowed moments later by Wade, who
    emerged moments later smiling
    a good sign.
    Alas, there was some big-time
    angst until the diagnosis came.
    Its not a great sight for a coach,
    Spoelstra said. Come on.
    Bosh took a lob pass from James
    and scored 15 seconds into the
    game. The lead Miamis only
    edge of the half didnt last, and
    the visitors werent the least bit
    intimidated, either.
    By the midway point of the
    opening quarter, it was 13-6. When
    Siskauskas hit a jumper with 4:24
    left, CSKA Moscow stretched its
    edge to 17-7. And after James hit
    a 3-pointer to tie the game at 34
    with 4:16 remaining until halftime,
    the Russian club peeled off the
    next seven points, all from the foul
    line, five of them coming from
    Langdon.
    At halftime, the lead was 44-39
    Eventually, James decided enough
    was enough.
    His acrobatic layup with 8:38 left
    in the third, while getting fouled,
    put Miami ahead 50-49. On the
    ensuing CSKA possession, James
    got a steal on the right wing, then
    found Miller for a left-handed
    layup and a three-point lead that
    had the Russian club quickly call-
    ing for a timeout.
    James hit a free throw with 3:53
    left, giving Miami a 63-53 lead two
