    BY JEFF DETERS
    jdeters@kansan.com
    Julio Mata Jr. has never set foot in a tan-
    ning salon.
    But his business plan for a bilingual tan-
    ning salon has won a national award and
    earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year
    scholarship.
    Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman major-
    ing in business management, won first place
    at the United States Hispanic Chamber of
    Commerce Foundations Bizfest, a competi-
    tion and training program for high school
    and college students interested in a career in
    business. The competition, which ran from
    Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required
    students to create a business plan complete
    with financial information. But Mata was, at
    one time, without a plan at all.
    In regionals last spring, Mata, a then-high
    school senior, was still searching for the right
    business idea just hours before presentations
    were due. One of his trainers opened a phone
    book and on it were ads for tanning salons.
    Mata began his research at about midnight
    and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new
    plan. Matas late-night work paid off, however,
    as he finished second at regionals.
    I was confident in myself when I pre-
    sented it, he said. So thats what helped me. I
    didnt think I was going to place second, but I
    thought Id be in the top three.
    Mata said the concept of a bilingual tan-
    ning salon was incorporated because he
    speaks Spanish and English and thought the
    salon would be better equipped to serve
    customers.
    At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata
    was again up until the wee hours of the morn-
    ing getting more accurate financial numbers
    in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other
    expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this
    time with the first-place award.
    I guess I work better under pressure, he
    said.
    In addition to the award and scholar-
    ship, Mata has been offered an all-expenses-
    paid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative
    Conference in March, an internship this sum-
    mer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C.,
    and another summer internship with Sprint.
    Mata said one of the things he learned
    from the competition was the importance of
    networking. He said meeting people from
    Sprint and Google helped him learn a great
    deal about managing finances of big busi-
    nesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to
    work in international business.
    Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan., fresh-
    man, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a
    French and pre-medicine major, submitted a
    business plan called HealthCARE for All. It
    featured a clinic for Hispanics and uninsured
    people.
    She said she chose that idea because a year
    ago her dad was diagnosed with muscular dys-
    trophy and his medical coverage expired, mak-
    ing his doctor visits difficult and expensive.
    Rodriquez did not place at nationals but
    said she made new friends and enjoyed net-
    working with business professionals.
    In Puerto Rico I met so many people that
    I have a lot in common with, and we still keep
    in touch, she said.
    Carlos Gomez, president and CEO of the
    Greater Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of
    Commerce, said that during the past five
    years Kansas City-area students had routinely
    placed in the top three of the competition but
    never first until this year.
    They did tremendous, he said. We are
    very proud of them.
    Rodriquez, who might someday want to
    open her own clinic, offered a suggestion to
    those interested in a business career: Always
    ask for the business cards of people you
    meet.
    You never know when you might need to
    contact them, she said.

    crime BrieF
    Employee fred after
    misuse of credit card
    An employee of the Kansas
    Union was terminated for mak-
    ing improper purchases on the
    Unions credit card.
    According to KU Public
    Safety reports between Oct.
    12 and Oct. 28, the employee,
    a purchasing assistant, used
    the Union credit card to make
    $1,080.61 worth of purchases.
    He used the credit card at
    Target, Rays Liquor Warehouse,
    Wal-Mart and Motel 6. The
    employees job was to purchase
    items necessary for the Unions
    dining operations.
    David Mucci, director of the
    Kansas Union, said they caught
    the employee when Nona
    Golledge, director of food ser-
    vices, saw that receipts from the
    credit card contained purchases
    from improper places.
    Im not sure what pre-
    cipitated this development,
    Mucci said. It happened in a
    concentrated period, and the
    good news is we saw it quickly.
    We should be able to avoid the
    charges.
    Mucci said he was unsure
    how long the employee had
    been working for the Union
    but it had been a while.The
    employee typically made
    purchases with the credit card
    every week. Mucci said this was
    the frst time a credit card had
    been improperly used during
    his eight years at the Union.
    To prevent an incident like
    this from happening again,
    Mucci said the Kansas Union
    was reviewing its procedures
    and would reduce access to its
    credit cards. He said the Kansas
    Union would likely start using
    credit cards that can only be
    used for one specifc vendor.

    As the University gears up for
    homecoming 2007, students are
    coming together to show off their
    school spirit.
    Today is Crimson and Blue Day
    on Wescoe Beach. Anyone wear-
    ing crimson and blue on campus
    can stop by for free goodies from
    10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This years items
    include Jayhawk stickers, pompoms,
    Jayhawk tattoos, hot chocolate and
    crimson and blue beads.
    In addition to winning prizes for
    showing their school spirit, students
    can wish the football team good
    luck by signing the good luck ban-
    ner. The banner will be featured in
    the Homecoming Parade the next
    day.
    Morgan Shirley, Overland
    Park senior and a member of the
    Homecoming Steering Committee,
    is confident that the event will pump
    up students for the homecoming
    game the following day.
    This event is low-key but intend-
    ed to keep spirits high prior to the
    big football game and help increase
    school spirit, Shirley said.
    Matt Galbraith, Leawood sopho-
    more, already has his outfit picked
    out for Fridays events.
    I am going to wear a crimson
    T-shirt and a blue hat, he said. I
    want to make sure both colors are
    represented.
    However, the colors mean more
    to him than just a potential outfit.
    Our traditions and chant are next
    to none, which makes our school so
    much more charged with spirit than
    other universities, Galbraith said.
    Participating in her first home-
    coming, Kirsten Devin, Omaha,
    Neb., freshman, is enthused for the
    various activities throughout the
    week, especially Crimson and Blue
    Day and the signing of the good
    luck banner.
    KU spirit goes deeper than the
    symbol of the Jayhawk, she said.
    Crimson and blue run in my blood.
    Dressing up in my Universitys col-
    ors is an outward sign of my great
    KU pride.
    Tonia Salas, Wichita freshman,
    agreed with her sentiment.
    I take personal pride in being a
    student at KU, and I jump at every
    opportunity I get to show my KU
    spirit, Salas said. I am excited to
    dress in my best crimson and blue
    apparel on Friday.
    Frances Lafferty, Overland Park
    freshman, will be one of the stu-
    dents at Wescoe on Friday to sign
    the good luck banner.
    It is good for them [the football
    players] to know that the students at
    KU are behind them no matter what
    happens during Saturdays game,
    Lafferty said. The encouragement
    and support of the students is moti-
    vation for the football team. Chea
    Peterman, a redshirt freshman from
    Little Rock, Ark., cant wait until
    next year when he gets a chance to
    play in front of the University fans.
    Playing with a full student sec-
    tion will definitely get me pumped
    for the game, he said. KU students
    have a lot of spirit which makes me
    want to win.

    He pokes fun at college life and
    sports when hes writing columns
    for SportsIllustrated.com and appear-
    ing on various
    ESPN shows, but
    comedian Steve
    Hofstetter will
    bring his come-
    dic views to cam-
    pus this weekend.
    Alpha Epsilon
    Pi is holding a
    fundraiser with Hofstetter as the
    host at 4 p.m. Sunday in Woodruff
    Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
    Barak Krengel, Dallas junior and
    member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said
    the profits would be used to help pay
    the houses future costs.
    Its specifically targeted to raise
    money for our house repairs and for
    new programming events for our
    brothers, Krengel said.
    Marc Kingston, Wembley,
    England, sophomore and Alpha
    Epsilon Pi rush chairman, began
    planning Hofstetters show and a
    fundraiser as two separate events a
    year ago before deciding to merge
    the two together.
    We thought it would be a fun idea
    to use his show as a fundraiser for
    our fraternity, Kingston said. Most
    fundraisers usually are involved with
    selling T-shirts or something along
    those lines. We thought we could do
    something a little different and use a
    well-known comedian to help raise
    us money.
    Hofstetter, who graduated from
    Columbia University in 2002 as a
    member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, is a reg-
    ular columnist for SportsIllustrated.
    com. He also has written for Maxim,
    ESPN and Sports Illustrated For
    Kids magazines in the past. Each
    year he tours more than 100 college
    campuses to perform his comedy
    routine. In 2004 he was nominated
    for Comedian of the Year by the
    Association for the Promotion of
    Campus Activities.
    Krengel said word of mouth
    among college students had increased
    Hofstetters popularity.
    Steve was referred to us by many
    other campuses, and we only heard
    great things about him, so we want-
    ed to have the chance to bring him to
    KU, Krengel said.
    SUA employees said tickets were
    still available at the SUA box office.
    Tickets cost $5 for KU students and
    $8 for the general public.

    Finding and identifying remains
    of American soldiers, such as teeth,
    bones, medals and letters, is the goal
    of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting
    Command.
    Eighty-eight thousand
    Americans are still missing or
    unaccounted for from previous
    U.S. conflicts. The command has
    recovery and investigation missions
    in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and
    Europe. Michael Flowers, brigadier
    general and U.S. commander of
    the accounting command, negoti-
    ates with leaders of foreign coun-
    tries about doing excavations and
    searches for remains in their coun-
    tries.
    Its important because folks in
    the military are pretty much told
    that the army will not leave anyone
    behind, Flowers said.
    Flowers, a 1977 KU graduate,
    spoke to the Army ROTC yester-
    day about his job, leadership and
    the important things to remember
    while serving. Flowers, along with
    two other alumni, Edward Reilly,
    chairman of the United States
    Parole Commission, and Judge J.
    Miles Sweeney, vice chairman of the
    Circuit Court Budget Committee,
    will be inducted into the Army
    ROTC Hall of Fame on Saturday.
    When I graduated my inten-
    tions were to serve my four years
    of commitment and get out of the
    service, so this is an honor, Flowers
    said.
    The three inductees will attend a
    ceremony before the football game
    and will join the Hall of Fame.
    Eleven other alumni have been
    inducted into the hall since it was
    started two years ago.
    Tyler Able, Billings, Mont.,
    senior and Army publications offi-
    cer, said, We want to get them to
    realize that their achievements have
    not been forgotten.
    John Basso, ROTC professor and
    lieutenant colonel, said that the Hall
    of Fame was created to help foster a
    strong sense of tradition.
    We want the cadets to realize
    that they are certainly not the first
    to go through this program, Basso
    said.
    Sweeney has tried more than
    300 jury trials and has imple-
    mented local improvements in the
    jury system. Reilly is also a mem-
    ber of the American Correctional
    Association, the Association of
    Paroling Authorities International
    and the National Association of
    Chiefs of Police.
    Flowers was deployed during
    several military operations, includ-
    ing Operation Desert Storm. He
    continues to travel and oversee the
    mission of the Joint POW/MIA
    Accounting Command. The com-
    mand was the only organization
    in the world working to discover
    soldiers remains, until it helped
    Korea form its own organization
    last January. More than 1,300 sol-
    diers have been identified through
    dental records, DNA samples and
    other methods and returned to
    their families.
    When we do ID someone, its
    very rewarding to sit down with the
    family, Flowers said.
    Flowers said the command
    needed DNA references from fam-
    ily members of missing soldiers.
    Anyone who has a missing relative
    can go to the commands Web site
    at www.jpac.pacom.mil for more
    information about how to donate
    DNA.
    We will be doing this mission
    until the president says were not
    going to do it anymore, Flowers
    said.

    Mary Chappell, a University of
    Kansas employee for 26 years, always
    looked forward to reading The
    University Daily Kansan, but that
    became a challenge when she lost
    most of her vision about a year ago.
    C h a p p e l l ,
    director of
    R e c r e a t i o n
    Services, solved
    her problem and
    can now listen to
    The Kansan over
    the phone. She
    requested that
    Audi o-Reader,
    a telephone and
    radio print and
    information ser-
    vice for the visu-
    ally impaired, add The Kansan to
    its daily recordings. In January, fac-
    ulty at Audio-Reader were able to
    accomplish this, and they now have
    a full staff of volunteers who record
    The Kansan Monday through Friday
    mornings and Jayplay on Thursdays.
    Audio-Reader now also carries
    the Oread magazine, a publication of
    the Office of University Relations.
    Chappell now listens to The
    Kansan every day.
    With a large campus like KU, you
    never know about all the services out
    there until something big impacts
    your life, Chappell said.
    J e n n i f e r
    Nigro, Audio-
    Reader volun-
    teer coordina-
    tor, said that the
    service added
    The Kansan
    to its record-
    ings because
    of Chappells
    request but
    that they had
    received a lot of
    positive feed-
    back from others.
    Audio-Reader, which is available
    in Kansas and western Missouri,
    already had publications such as The
    Kansas City Star and The Wichita
    Eagle available through its telephone
    service. Listeners can call into the
    telephone line and enter their user
    ID numbers and security numbers to
    access the newspapers.
    George McCoy, Audio-Reader
    telephone reader supervisor, said he
    thought The Kansan provided an
    interesting change from commercial-
    ly owned publications.
    Offering the UDK on telephone
    reader allows listeners all over Kansas
    and parts of Missouri to keep up with
    campus events and campus life and
    also gives a viewpoint on KU thats
    not always available in the main-
    stream media, McCoy said.
    Each weekday, a volunteer comes
    into the studio between 6 a.m. and
    9 a.m. to record The Kansan, which
    takes one to two hours. McCoy said
    he tried to have the material recorded
    on the telephone line by 10 a.m.
    We want the listeners to be able
    to experience the morning news in
    the morning when its still fresh, if we
    can, McCoy said.
    Students who want to volunteer
    with Audio-Reader can visit reader.

    Bush to veto health insurance bill
    politics
    Army ROTC honors alumni
    AssOCIATED PREss
    WASHINGTON A defiant
    Democratic-controlled Congress
    voted Thursday to provide health
    insurance to an additional 4 mil-
    lion lower-income children, and
    President Bush vowed swiftly to
    cast his second straight veto on the
    issue.
    The legislation cleared the Senate
    on a vote of 64-30. It passed the
    House last week, but supporters
    were shy of the two-thirds majority
    needed to override Bushs threat-
    ened veto.
    Were convinced that the presi-
    dent has undermined an effort to
    protect children, Senate Majority
    Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said
    shortly before the vote.
    Congress has known for weeks
    that the President would veto this
    bill, White House press secretary
    Dana Perino countered in a state-
    ment shortly after the vote. Now
    Congress should get back to work
    on legislation that covers poor chil-
    dren and stop using valuable floor
    time to make partisan statements.
    In a situation of unusual political
    complexity, Republicans dictated
    the decision to pass the legislation
    speedily. It appeared their goal was
    to short-circuit attempts by sup-
    porters of the bill to reach a com-
    promise that
    could attract
    enough votes
    in the House to
    override Bushs
    veto.
    Attempts by
    Reid to delay
    final passage of
    the bill until next
    week or longer
    drew objections
    from the GOP.
    I believe a
    deal is within reach, said Sen. Max
    Baucus (D-Mont.) the chairman of
    the Senate Finance Committee, a
    participant in meetings with two
    senior Senate Republicans, Sens.
    Charles Grassley of Iowa and Orrin
    Hatch of Utah, and several mem-
    bers of the House GOP.
    Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) who
    supported Bushs first veto and is
    involved in the discussions, said
    we are pretty close to an agree-
    ment but that several issues remain.
    For example, she said, the two sides
    had narrowed their differences on
    the issue of ensuring maximum
    coverage of poor children before
    those in slightly
    higher-income
    families can be
    brought into the
    program.
    Baucus said
    the negotiations
    would resume
    next week.
    The veto-
    threatened mea-
    sure would add
    an estimated
    4 million ben-
    eficiaries to an existing program
    that provides coverage for children
    from families who earn too much
    to qualify for Medicaid but cannot
    afford private insurance. The pro-
    gram currently provides benefits to
    roughly 6 million children.
    At a cost of $35 billion, the
    bill would be paid for through an
    increase in tobacco taxes, including
    a 61-cent rise
    on a package of
    cigarettes.
    Bush vetoed
    an earlier chil-
    drens health
    bill this fall, and
    Republican crit-
    ics said it failed
    to give a high
    enough priority
    to covering poor
    children, marked
    a Democratic
    attempt to expand government-run
    health care, and did not take suf-
    ficient steps to prevent the children
    of illegal immigrants from receiving
    benefits.
    Democrats failed to override
    his veto on a vote of 273-156, 13
    short of the two-thirds majority
    they needed.
    In response, Democrats launched
    a replacement measure, incorporat-
    ing changes they said were designed
    to meet Republican objections to
    their first offering.
    But Bush dismissed those efforts
    this week, telling a business audi-
    ence, If Congress sends this bill
    back to me, Im
    going to veto it
    again. He pre-
    dicted his sec-
    ond veto would
    be upheld.
    A day ear-
    lier, the presi-
    dent told House
    Republicans in a
    private meeting
    that he would
    veto any mea-
    sure that raised
    tobacco or any other taxes, a signifi-
    cant hardening of the administra-
    tions public position on the issue.
    Political polls show the childrens
    health issue enjoys widespread sup-
    port, and Democrats and their allies
    have moved quickly to exploit it
    for their advantage with television
    and radio commercials attacking
    Republicans who opposed the leg-
    islation.
    The result has been a grow-
    ing nervousness among House
    Republicans looking ahead to the
    2008 elections. The partys top lead-
    ers, Reps. John Boehner of Ohio
    and Roy Blunt of Missouri, joined
    the compromise negotiations in
    recent days.
    It is unlikely either of them would
    support a bill that raises taxes.
    Rather, officials said their intention
    was to coax as many concessions
    as possible from the Democrats so
    that the next measure would be
    one that other Republicans among
    the rank-and-file could comfortably
    support.
    Were convinced that the presi-
    dent has undermined an efort
    to protect children.
    harry reid
    Senate majority leader
    Congress has known for weeks
    that the President would veto
    this bill. Now Congress should
    get back to work on legislation
    that covers poor children.

    I
    hate local music.
    I saw this on a T-shirt
    on Massachusetts Street, and
    immediately I knewthe man
    wearing it knew what he was
    talking about. Maybe he was
    trying to make a statement, or
    perhaps it was just a joke, but I,
    for one, can relate to the senti-
    ment. Local music is a term
    used much too often around
    Lawrence and other hip college
    towns that just isnt worth much
    anymore. Ive come to the
    conclusion that its just an-
    other name for subpar musi-
    cianship; a hollow buzzword
    that has little meaning or an
    excuse to be indie-pop-rock-
    folk-inspired (whatever the
    hell that means). Walk into
    any bar downtown on any
    given night and youll hear
    what Im talking about.
    I must have heard the phrase
    support local music at least
    1,000 times in the last year, and
    every time I hear it I am confused
    as to what they really mean. Is
    music some sort of domestic
    product that must be subsidized
    to get the Lawrence economy
    back on its feet? Is there some
    sort of pseudo-farmers market
    where we should be shopping
    instead of the record store? Or
    do they mean that we, as citi-
    zens of Lawrence, should culti-
    vate homegrown bands so that
    future generations can be just as
    good at it as we are, like foot-
    ball? Perhaps it simply means
    that we should attend concerts
    because our roommates girl-
    friends new puppys veterinar-
    ian is in a band, and they are,
    like, totally far-out, man.
    The problem with support-
    ing local music is that, quite
    simply, most of it is awful. To be
    fair, there is a small amount of
    musicians who are talented and
    dedicated to producing quality
    work, but for every good band
    there are at least 10 bad ones
    whose only draw is that they
    dress in gaudy leftover Hallow-
    een costumes with homemade
    instruments or warbling singer-
    songwriters doing their best to
    imitate Jack Johnson. Is it good
    to support something that is just
    plain bad?
    But I do not wish to discrimi-
    nate just against Lawrencian
    mediocrity. This town is a mi-
    crocosm of the global descent
    of popular music in recent de-
    cades. So much has changed
    since the golden age of rock.
    Instead of eminent and charis-
    matic frontmen, we now have
    American Idol wannabes and
    singers who sound like crying
    pre-pubescents, and instead of
    virtuosic guitar riffs and drum-
    mers playing until they pass out
    (R.I.P. Keith Moon), we have
    accordions and girls dressed in
    giant banana outfts. This is not
    music. This is cheap theater.
    After the glorifed outbreak
    of pop in the 1950s and 60s,
    things slowly went downhill. Af-
    ter the excess and decadence of
    70s music, the 80s were a quick
    descent into hair bands and Mi-
    chael Jackson, two things that
    are best forgotten, lest one have
    constant nightmares. The early
    90s were a grungy glimmer of
    hope quickly quashed by big
    label ferocity. And now, while
    the Indie scene is burgeon-
    ing, rock n roll is quietly dy-
    ing. Why must we continue to
    propagate the dead genre that
    once was Indie? It was a nice
    thought but has long since run
    its course. Indie is no longer an
    innovation. Sounding vaguely
    like a Lennon/McCartney tune
    does not make a good melody.
    Volume does not equal rock n
    roll. Having a glass-shattering
    falsetto or indestructible vocal
    chords does not make you bet-
    ter than Bob Dylan. And nei-
    ther does not being anything
    else. Just because you claim to
    defy genre (hear me now, Beck!)
    does not make you, by default, a
    good musician.
    So dont be browbeaten into
    thinking that just because you
    arent into the scene around
    town, that you dont know mu-
    sic. Its a terrible lie supported
    by cooler-than-thou hipsters
    who have nothing better to do
    than make you feel bad about
    yourself. So turn off the new
    Devendra Banhart album and
    any local band that has more
    than three made-up words in its
    name, and turn up your Stravin-
    sky, Coltrane, Robert Johnson
    and Rolling Stones records. You
    wont be disappointed. And
    then perhaps we can get to the
    task of recognizing and creating
    some decent music for the next
    generation.

    tive, we acknowledge that there
    is some youth that are apathetic
    toward politics, but there are
    many who are not. The article
    that was run in the Kansan re-
    garding apathy among young
    voters was not only offensive to
    those of us who are politically
    active, but simply not news.
    This country knows that youth
    from the ages of 18-24 have
    the lowest voter turnout rate,
    but according to the Center for
    Information and Research on
    Civic Learning, in 2004 youth
    reversed a historic decline with
    an 11 percent voting increase.
    The unprecedented involve-
    ment and excitement amongst
    youth is the real news of the day.
    Students are playing a much
    more integral role in presidential
    campaigns as there are currently
    three offcially registered groups
    on campus dedicated to presi-
    dential candidates. Campaigns
    are for the frst time ever insti-
    tuting entire divisions of their
    campaigns dedicated to stu-
    dents. Students on this campus
    are volunteering for campaigns,
    canvassing student housing ar-
    eas and traveling to Iowa to
    canvass. While some students
    are still abstaining from civic
    engagement, this is the perfect
    time for all students to realize
    their ability to bring about posi-
    tive change. It is becoming pop-
    ular and exciting to be involved
    in our countrys future.

    CARACAS, Venezuela
    Soldiers used tear gas, plastic bullets
    and water cannons to scatter tens of
    thousands who massed Thursday to
    protest constitutional reforms that
    would permit Venezuelan President
    Hugo Chavez to run for re-election
    indefinitely.
    Led by university students, pro-
    testers chanted Freedom! Freedom!
    and warned that 69 amendments
    drafted by the Chavista-dominated
    National Assembly would violate
    civil liberties and derail democracy.
    It was the biggest turnout against
    Chavez in months, and appeared to
    revive Venezuelas languid opposi-
    tion at a time when the president
    seems as strong as ever. Students
    promised more street demon-
    strations over the weekend, but
    no opposition-led protests were
    planned for Friday.
    This is a dictatorship masked
    as democracy, said Jorge Rivas, an
    18-year-old student. Chavez wants
    our country to be like Cuba, and
    were not going to allow that to
    occur.
    Authorities broke up the pro-
    test outside the headquarters of the
    countrys electoral council, report-
    ing that six police officers and one
    student were injured. But students
    said dozens of protesters were
    hurt during the melee. The local
    Globovision television network
    broadcast footage of several police
    beating an unarmed protester with
    billy clubs.
    Student leader Freddy Guevara
    said it was not immediately clear
    how many students were arrested,
    and he urged local human rights
    groups to help verify the number of
    detained protesters.
    Students hurled rocks and bot-
    tles, and a few lifted up sections of
    metal barricades and thrust them
    against police holding riot shields.
    Students retreated later when police
    fired plastic bullets.
    Rock-throwing between students
    and Chavez supporters continued at
    a nearby university campus.
    Chavez wants to remain in
    power his entire life, and thats not
    democracy, said Gonzalo Rommer,
    a 20-year-old student who joined
    protesters marching to the National
    Elections Council.
    Deputy Justice Minister Tarek
    El Aissami blamed students for the
    violence, saying they forced their
    way through police barricades.
    But Vicente Diaz, one of five
    National Election Council direc-
    tors, accused National Guardsmen
    and police of using excessive force
    to disperse protesters. We abso-
    lutely condemn the behavior of the
    authorities, Diaz said.
    The amendments would give the
    government control over the Central
    Bank, create new types of coopera-
    tive property, allow authorities to
    detain citizens without charge dur-
    ing a state of emergency and extend
    presidential terms from six to seven
    years allowing Chavez to run again
    in 2012.
    To take effect, the reforms must
    be approved by voters in a Dec. 2
    referendum.

    WICHITA Sedgwick County
    District Judge Clark V. Owens will
    hear arguments Friday on a motion
    by abortion provider George Tiller
    to dismiss the 19 misdemeanor
    charges Attorney General Paul
    Morrison filed against him.
    Morrison filed charges against
    Tiller in June for allegedly failing
    to get an independent second opin-
    ion on some late-term abortions
    as required by Kansas law. Tiller
    maintains his innocence.
    The hearing is scheduled for 3
    p.m. Friday at the Sedgwick County
    Courthouse.
    The bulk of the arguments at
    issue already have been made in
    hefty court filings now before the
    judge.
    Attorneys for the embattled
    Wichita doctor argued in court
    papers that Kansas law, which
    requires a referral from a second
    physician before a viable fetus can
    be aborted, creates an unconstitu-
    tional burden on a physicians right
    to practice medicine.
    They contend no other medi-
    cal procedure requires a concurring
    opinion, and argued the statute as
    applied violates a womans right to
    obtain an abortion. They also called
    it unconstitutionally vague.
    In voluminous court documents,
    Tiller also raised numerous other
    arguments.
    Among them, Tillers lawyers
    told the judge the Kansas referring
    physician requirement violates a
    citizens liberty to travel in interstate
    commerce. They called it an uncon-
    stitutional restriction on privileges
    and immunities guaranteed every
    citizen. And they claimed it vio-
    lated the due process clause under
    the 14th Amendment of the U.S.
    Constitution.
    In response, Morrison argued
    that the Kansas Legislature, through
    statute, expressed a strong inter-
    est in protecting potential life, and
    chose to demonstrate that interest
    by requiring an unbiased second
    opinion before a viable fetus could
    be legally aborted.
    Morrison said requiring a sec-
    ond opinion regarding the injury a
    woman would sustain if she carried
    a pregnancy to term was not an
    undue burden on a womans right
    to choose. He contended the statute
    was constitutional.
    The Kansas attorney general
    cited the recent U.S. Supreme Court
    decision upholding a nationwide
    ban on an abortion procedure. The
    divided court ruled in April that the
    Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that
    Congress passed and President Bush
    signed into law in 2003 does not
    violate a womans right to choose.
    That decision had been widely
    seen as an opening for additional
    restrictions on abortion rights.
    In his court filings, Morrison
    cited that case and others to bolster
    his contention that the state has
    a substantial interest in protecting
    human life especially once the
    point of viability is reached.
    Morrison also cited a federal
    court ruling that upheld a similar
    law in Montana that requires a sec-
    ond doctors opinion before a viable
    fetus can be aborted.
    As for Tillers argument that no
    other medical procedure requires a
    second opinion, Morrison respond-
    ed that no other medical procedure
    involves the purposeful termina-
    tion of a potential life.

    Students protest derailed democracy
    By LAURIE KELLMAN
    ASSOCIATEd PRESS
    WASHINGTON President
    Bush sought to save Michael
    Mukaseys troubled nomination for
    attorney general Thursday, defend-
    ing the retired judges refusal to say
    whether he considers waterboarding
    torture and warning of a leaderless
    Justice Department if Democrats
    dont confirm him.
    If the Senate Judiciary Committee
    were to block Judge Mukasey on
    these grounds, they would set a new
    standard for confirmation that could
    not be met by any responsible nomi-
    nee for attorney general, Bush said in
    a speech at the Heritage Foundation,
    a conservative think tank.
    That would guarantee that
    America would have no attorney
    general during this time of war, the
    President said.
    Nonetheless, opposition con-
    tinued to grow. Sen. Edward M.
    Kennedy, D-Mass., became the
    fourth of 10 Democrats on the 19-
    member Judiciary Committee to
    declare he will vote against Mukasey
    when the panel decides Tuesday
    whether to endorse or reject his
    nomination.
    Kennedy said Mukaseys unwill-
    ingness to say that waterboarding, an
    interrogation technique that simu-
    lates drowning, is torture increas-
    es the chances that it will be used
    against U.S. troops.
    Judge Mukasey appears to be a
    careful, conscientious and intelligent
    lawyer and he has served our country
    honorably for many years, Kennedy
    said in a Senate speech announcing
    his opposition. But those qualities
    are not enough for this critical posi-
    tion at this critical time.
    Judiciary Committee Chairman
    Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., planned to
    announce Friday how he will vote
    next week.
    Bush framed Mukaseys nomi-
    nation with the familiar theme of
    national security and the attorney
    generals role in it.
    Its important for Congress to
    pass laws and/or confirm nominees
    that will enable this government to
    more effectively defend the country
    and pursue terrorists and radicals
    that would like to do us harm, the
    president said earlier Thursday dur-
    ing a rare Oval Office session with
    reporters.
    The comments raised questions
    about whether Bush would nomi-
    nate anyone else to succeed Alberto
    Gonzales as the nations top law
    enforcer. Bush could bypass Congress
    by filling the job with someone serv-
    ing in an acting capacity or appoint-
    ing someone while lawmakers are in
    recess to serve out the last 14 months
    of his administration.
    Asked if Bush was saying he would
    not nominate anyone if Mukasey
    is rejected, White House spokes-
    woman Dana Perino said, We dont
    believe it would come to that. No
    nominee could meet the test theyve
    presented.
    There is a way for Mukasey to
    get a full Senate vote even if com-
    mittee Democrats are united in
    opposing him. The Senate Judiciary
    Committee could agree to advance
    the nomination with no recom-
    mendation, allowing Mukasey to
    be confirmed by a majority of the
    100-member Senate. Several vote-
    counters in each party said Mukasey
    probably would get 70 yes votes.

    W
    aking up on a Saturday
    morning and watching noth-
    ing but information about
    college football is almost like Christmas
    once a week with ESPNs Chris Fowler,
    Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso discuss-
    ing a full array of information all morn-
    ing.
    Kansas football fans have tried to
    catch a mere glimpse of their teams
    mention in years past on ESPNs College
    GameDay, and of course, it was rare.
    Fast forward to this year, as the Jayhawks
    enter this week 8-0. If the record were
    not impressive enough, the Jayhawk
    offense ranks No. 5 nationally in scor-
    ing and No. 11 in yards per game, while
    the defense is No. 2 in scoring defense
    and No. 5 in yards allowed per game.
    Although these numbers are stunning,
    Corso still is not impressed.
    Last week Corso made a statement
    when making his prediction that, Texas
    A&M will win because Kansas has not
    played outside the state yet and, I am
    going to continue picking against them
    until I am right.
    Little did Mr. Corso know, we beat a
    decent Colorado team in Boulder, Colo.,
    and would later that day beat a good
    Texas A&M team in a hostile College
    Station, Texas. The lack of respect Corso
    gives the Jayhawks stems from the same
    superiority complex that the rest of the
    media has for historically good pro-
    grams.
    Corso loves to give his two cents
    about how good the Florida Gators
    (5-3), USC Trojans (6-2) and Auburn
    Tigers (6-3) are, but has the guts to say
    that the Kansas Jayhawks are not for real
    but rather a joke. Even after the Kansas
    defense gave up only 74 yards on the
    ground four in the second half to
    a rushing-offense juggernaut in Texas
    A&M, which averaged 260 yards per
    game entering the contest, I doubt Corso
    will change his derogatory tune.
    In further discussion, Corso
    announced that Boston College was
    the best team in college football. When
    trying to decipher the difference, look
    at the first major knock on Kansas: its
    strength of schedule.
    But much like Kansas, Boston College
    has won three games on the road
    Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Virginia
    Tech. Currently, only Virginia Tech is
    ranked. Three of the Eagles home vic-
    tories were against Army (3-5), Bowling
    Green (4-4) and Massachusetts (an FCS
    school). So is Boston Colleges schedule
    really that much better than Kansas?
    And although Kansas ranks high in
    statistical categories, Boston College
    trails and is out of the top 25 in all four
    mentioned earlier. That should count for
    something, right?
    So what is the basis for Corsos ideas?
    His biased opinions are formulated on
    the basis that the Jayhawks were once
    a terrible team, are not in the SEC and
    that the SEC is the nations best confer-
    ence. In case he hasnt noticed, the Big
    12 North is flourishing without any
    recognition or respect, with two teams
    ranked in every top 10 poll and poten-
    tially five that could become bowl-eligi-
    ble, if Nebraska can find another victory.
    So for those who endeavor to find
    real college football entertainment,
    look no further than the resurgence
    of the easy-to-enjoy Kansas Jayhawks.
    Although Corso will continue to be the
    guy at recess who goes double or noth-
    ing until hes lost his lunch, you should
    pick Kansas because it has shown supe-
    riority through its record and the stats
    the team has put up. Although this is not
    a ploy to retreat from watching College
    GameDay, it is my call to arms.

    This week provides an interesting prism
    with which to view the progress of Kansas
    football resurgence. Behind the Jayhawks
    are the stumbling Texas A&M Aggies (6-3),
    a once-proud program that must beat either
    Oklahoma, Missouri or Texas in the seasons
    waning weeks to be guaranteed even an invi-
    tation to a bowl game. Looming in front of
    Kansas are the fallen Nebraska Cornhuskers
    (5-6), a former powerhouse that could easily
    end its season with a losing record.
    Both schools are rumored to be mov-
    ing closer to firing their coaches, Dennis
    Franchione and Bill Callahan, respectively,
    in the offseason.
    Franchione has gotten himself into trouble
    off the field after selling a high-priced secret
    newsletter containing information about the
    A&M football program to boosters, unbe-
    knownst to the athletic department. The act,
    a possible NCAA violation, has brought as
    much scrutiny to the school as the teams
    poor performance.
    Callahans departure, meanwhile, seems
    imminent. Nebraska fired Athletic Director
    Steve Pederson in mid-October, citing a
    lack of progress from the football program.
    Pedersons signature hire, Callahan, arrived
    in Lincoln four years ago. The school hired
    former coaching legend Tom Osborne as
    interim athletic director.
    Calls to the Nebraska Athletic Department
    by The University Daily Kansan seeking
    comment for this story were not returned.
    And then theres Kansas, 8-0 and off to its
    best start since 1909. The Jayhawks will be
    nearly three touchdown favorites when they
    take the field against the Cornhuskers on
    Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
    Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim
    Marchiony said the Athletics Department
    was not surprised by the teams start.
    Its obvious that we havent looked this
    good in at least a decade, Marchiony said.
    But if we start thinking about that, thats
    when bad things start to happen. We are
    focused on Nebraska not being 8-0 or
    where we are going to end up this season.
    It appears the impatient fan bases of
    Kansas most recent and next opponents are
    focused on anything but the games.
    In College Station, Texas, the calls for
    Franchiones head have grown to a cre-
    scendo, according to Renee Bogard, a Texas
    A&M senior from Kansas City, Mo. Bogard
    frequently sees Fire Fran bumper stickers
    across campus. On Saturday, Bogard went
    to a Halloween party where a guest dressed
    as Franchione complete with a maroon
    Adidas A&M shirt, slacks, a head full of
    spray-painted gray hair and the Fire Fran
    bumper sticker adorning his chest.
    Bogard, who said she was in tears leaving
    Kyle Field after the Oct. 27 loss to Kansas,
    said the expectation at Texas A&M was to
    win every game.
    Most students blame the problems on
    the coach, Bogard said. What Coach Fran
    did, it might have taken the players minds
    off their main focus. Us fans, we want all or
    nothing if we dont get what we want, we
    start pointing fingers. Maybe the team cant
    handle the pressure.
    Brett Himmelberg, a University of
    Nebraska senior from Lincoln, Neb., said
    the season appeared to be a catastrophe
    before Pedersons firing. Himmelberg said
    the students had rallied behind the idea that
    Callahan would be fired.
    Its everybody here now, Himmelberg
    said. Its all over the radio. They arent talk-
    ing about if Callahan will be fired they
    are talking about who the next head coach
    will be.
    Himmelberg said Nebraska fans would
    switch spots with Kansas if they could, a
    sentiment that even a year ago would have
    been laughable.
    I was down there two years ago when we
    lost, Himmelberg said of the Jayhawks 2005
    40-15 home victory against the Cornhuskers.
    It was unbelievable to see the change in
    times with Kansas at the top of the Big 12
    and Nebraska at the bottom. As a kid, I was
    used to seeing Nebraska beating Kansas by
    40 or 50 points. Kansas is a good team, and
    Nebraska just isnt anymore.
    While fans in Lincoln and College Station
    pine for the jettisons of their high profile
    coaches, Kansas might soon have the oppo-
    site problem, one that it hasnt experienced
    since Glen Mason bolted for Minnesota
    in the mid-90s: keeping a miracle-work-
    ing coach, in this case Mark Mangino, in
    Lawrence.
    That is the highest compliment that can
    be paid to a coach and his coaching staff
    that other programs are interested in
    him, Marchiony said.

    After stealing the ball 15 times and forc-
    ing 24 turnovers in a 94-59 victory against
    Pittsburg State last night, did the defense
    look any better?
    Nope.
    People think stealing the ball is playing
    the defense sometimes, Self said. Ill watch
    the tape. I think we tried for the most part
    and were better, but when we really play
    well defensively, the team doesnt shoot 44
    percent.
    Pity the Jayhawks opponent when they
    do figure out how to defend. For not being
    good enough, it showed
    flashes of brilliance.
    The Sons of Steal,
    Sherron Collins, Mario
    Chalmers and Russell
    Robinson, did most of
    the damage defensively,
    swiping the ball nine
    times. Those Jayhawks
    arent first-time felons.
    They perfected the craft
    of thievery last season, combining to average
    about five steals per game last year. Junior
    guard Mario Chalmers even set a school
    record for steals with 97.
    But Rodrick Stewart may have been the
    most impressive.
    Stewart tied Collins and Robinson with
    four steals Thursday night. It shouldnt
    have come as a surprise given that he loves
    defense. Stewart, a senior guard, boxed twice
    a day this summer. The sport put him in bet-
    ter shape and helped his hands.
    My hands are so much quicker now, he
    said. Its definitely helped with the defense.
    But outside of the steals, Self said the
    defense wasnt tight enough. Pittsburg State
    scored several baskets when Kansas players
    didnt rotate in the post quickly enough.
    A lack of defense was also apparent by the
    rebounding margin. The Gorillas, who have
    no player taller than 6-foot-8, bullied the
    Jayhawks on the boards all night. They out
    rebounded Kansas 36 to 33. Self estimated
    that his players only rebounded the ball five
    times on the 30 shots they missed.
    Collins said Kansas didnt box out well
    enough. Self said it was worse than that.
    Thats what Sherron said. Heck hes 5-
    foot-9, hes never blocked anyone out in his
    life, Self said. But I would say thats part of
    it but also just being active and going after
    the balls. A lot of it was rotation rebounding
    too when you help a teammate and the help
    doesnt help the helper.
    The game wasnt all full of negatives.
    Kansas jumped out with a 15-4 run to start
    the game and led 55-29 at half. The three-
    guard starting lineup that included Collins,
    Robinson and Chalmers
    dazzled offensively, com-
    bining for eight three-
    pointers and 15 assists.
    Sophomore forward
    Darrell Arthur didnt
    attempt a field goal in
    the first half before scor-
    ing eight points in the
    first six minutes of the
    second half. He finished
    with 12 points. The Jayhawks werent perfect.
    They didnt rebound or play the best help
    defense, but the positives were there. Kansas
    showed a penchant for stealing like it has in
    the past, Arthur showed he could be a go-
    to-guy when he gets the ball, and the three
    guard lineup looked like a success.
    After one exhibition game, the players
    know they arent where they need to be yet.
    I think we took a chance, Collins said.
    We cant waste any days. Every day you have
    to get better during these games. I think we
    took a step to getting better defensively. I
    think we did a pretty good job tonight. This
    team was a good team, but were going to
    play a lot better teams.

    Thats what Sherron said. Heck,

    tomorrow in Robinson Natatorium
    after playing host to the Arkansas
    Razorbacks in a dual competition
    yesterday.
    The Jayhawks are hoping to
    continue improving after getting
    of to a solid start this season.
    Kansas opened with a fourth place
    fnish at the Big 12 Relays on Oct.
    19 and a victory at Northern Iowa
    before falling to the Missouri Tigers
    in its frst Big 12 meet of the sea-
    son. Several records already have
    been broken by Kansas swimmers,
    and two divers already have quali-
    fed for the postseason NCAA Zone

    This weekend the womens row-
    ing team travels to Chattanooga,
    Tenn., to compete in the Head of
    Chattahoochee. The regatta is the
    second of the season for the varsity

    The regatta will be on Saturday
    and Sunday and the team will com-
    pete against several teams that will
    later face Kansas in the South/Cen-

    Tennis star Martina Hingis
    tests positive for cocaine
    In an out-of-nowhere end to
    Martina Hingis comeback, the
    fve-time Grand Slam champion
    revealed Thursday she tested posi-
    tive for cocaine at Wimbledon and
    will retire for a second time rather
    than fght what she called a hor-
    rendous accusation.
    I am frustrated and angry, the
    27-year-old Hingis said at a news
    conference in Zurich, Switzerland,
    her voice breaking as she fought
    back tears. I believe that I am abso-
    lutely, 100 percent innocent.
    She read a statement ending
    with the vow, I have never taken
    drugs, then left immediately.
    WTA Tour chief executive Larry
    Scott said he recently found out
    about Hingis doping test from the
    players representatives word
    had not reached him through
    ofcial channels because its an
    ongoing case in which a hearing
    has yet to be held.
    Although Hingis said she was
    retiring in part because she doesnt
    want to spend years dealing with
    the legal process, Scott said he
    expected the case to continue.
    She said she hired an attorney
    who found various inconsisten-
    cies with the urine sample.
    He is also convinced that the
    doping ofcials mishandled the
    process and would not be able
    to prove that the urine that was
    tested for cocaine actually came
    from me, she said.
    Hingis tested positive June 29,
    the day she fell out of the tourna-
    ment.

    The highlight of the weekend will
    be the match-up between the last
    two undefeated teams in the NFL,
    New England and Indianapolis.
    Here are the players who will play
    big on Sunday and those who will
    play poorly in NFL games.
    Show Time
    Wide receiver Lee Evans, Buffalo
    Bills Its obvious that Evans strug-
    gled early on, but he has gotten back
    on track the past couple of weeks. He
    had a big performance against the
    Jets Sunday and went for more than
    100 yards receiving and a touchdown.
    This weekend Evans plays against
    a Bengals secondary that has been
    poor at best. Evans will be able to hurt
    Cincinnati on the field all day.
    Running back Reggie Bush, New
    Orleans Saints Bush hasnt had
    the same production this season as he
    did in his rookie year. The Saints have
    played better in the past few weeks,
    though. The success of the passing
    game may open up the running game
    for Bush. The Jaguars have a medio-
    cre rush defense and may be without
    one of their run-stuffers in Marcus
    Stroud on Sunday. This should open
    up the middle of the field for Bush,
    who could have a big day.
    Quarterback Philip Rivers, San
    Diego Chargers Rivers has been
    fairly consistent this season for the
    Chargers, which is good, considering
    reigning MVP LaDainian Tomlinson
    has struggled at times this season.
    This week the Chargers play the
    Vikings, who have one of the worst
    pass defenses in the NFL. Rivers
    should be able to spread out the ball
    to his receivers well. He has one of the
    best tight ends in the NFL in Antonio
    Gates, and he has the newly added
    Chris Chambers in his offense. Rivers
    and the passing offense should be able
    to take advantage of an already poor
    Minnesota secondary on Sunday.
    Denver Defense Denver has
    the sixth-best passing defense in the
    NFL. But they have a terrible rush-
    ing defense. Denver plays Detroit on
    Sunday. Detroits rushing game has
    been inconsistent at best. The Detroit
    passing game has struggled at times
    as well. The Lions could have prob-
    lems creating any offensive momen-
    tum against a solid Denver defense.
    No Time
    Wide receiver Joey Galloway,
    Tampa Bay Buccaneers Galloway
    has performed pretty well with Jeff
    Garcia at quarterback for the Bucs
    this year. On Sunday, though, he
    faces an underrated Arizona defense.
    The Cardinals have the eighth-best
    passing defense in the NFL, and they
    get good play from their safeties like
    Adrian Wilson. Arizona will be able
    to hold Galloway in check and not
    allow the deep ball on Sunday.
    Running back LaDainian
    Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
    Tomlinson has struggled through
    parts of the season so far, and it
    doesnt get easier on Sunday. As bad
    as the Minnesota secondary has
    been all season, they have a great
    rushing defense, the third best in
    the NFL. The Vikings have been able
    to shut down each running back
    theyve seen this season. Tomlinson
    will be no different. The Vikings will
    not be able to win the game, but they
    can shut down the Chargers No. 1
    offensive option.
    Quarterback Matt Schaub,
    Houston Texans Schaub strug-
    gled to get anything going in the
    passing offense against the Chargers
    last Sunday, and the hard times will
    continue against the Raiders this
    Sunday. The Raiders have the third-
    best passing defense in the NFL
    and are overlooked because of their
    recent history of mediocrity. As bad
    as the Raider offense has been, the
    defense puts them in the position
    to win games. The Raiders defense
    could cause big problems for Schaub
    all day on Sunday.
    New England Defense New
    Englands defense has been great all
    year, as it is the third best in the NFL.
    On Sunday, though, the Patriots
    have to play against the third-best
    offense in the NFL. Peyton Manning,
    Reggie Wayne and Joseph Addai will
    lead the Colts against a tough New
    England defense. This game could
    become a shoot-out, especially if
    Marvin Harrison is healthy. The
    Patriots defense is one of the best in
    the NFL, but they are sure to give up
    a lot of yardage on Sunday.

    Struggling Big 12 teams need statement games

    GameS of The weeK:
    No. 14 TexaS (7-2) aT
    oKlahoma STaTe (5-3)
    Senior running back Dantrell
    Savage has rushed for an average of
    138 yards per game since losing to
    Troy five weeks ago. Oklahoma State
    is tied at the top of the South stand-
    ings and would be alone in first if it
    wasnt for a one-point loss to Texas
    A&M, its only one in-conference.
    Standing in the way of the
    Cowboys potent rushing attack
    are the Longhorns massive defen-
    sive tackle Frank Okam and speedy
    defensive end Aaron Lewis. Okam
    and Lewis have led a Texas defense
    that ranks 13th in the nation against

    Texas A&M has lost two of its
    past three while the vultures con-
    tinue to circle around coach Dennis
    Franchiones job. After a 19-11 loss to
    Kansas last week, at least one Aggie
    player said he still expected to make
    it to the Big 12 Championship in
    December.
    The road to San Antonio, site of
    the championship game, goes through
    Norman, Okla. Junior quarterback
    Stephen McGee found some suc-
    cess in the air against Kansas late in
    the game last week. Franchione may
    use more vertical passes to combat
    Oklahomas one surprising weakness:
    its pass defense.
    Despite standout defensive backs
    Reggie Smith and Nic Harris, the
    Sooners are allowing 230 passing
    yards per game this season.
    No. 3 lSU (7-1) aT No. 17
    alabama (6-2)
    When Nick Saban took the
    Alabama coaching job, Saban and
    Tiger fans alike particularly looked
    forward to this game.
    Saban takes great pride in point-
    ing out that he built the LSU program
    to where it is now, having brought in
    high-profile recruits and a national
    championship. He even alluded to
    it in his first press conference as the
    new Alabama coach. Tiger fans want
    to prove to Saban that theyve moved
    on and coach Les Miles is every bit
    as capable of doing the job.
    The last time the Tigers visited
    Tuscaloosa, Ala., they ruined the
    Crimson Tides undefeated season
    in 2005. To leave with similar results
    this year, LSU will have to slow down
    Alabamas powerful rushing duo of
    freshman Terry Grant and sopho-
    more Glen Coffee.
    The Tigers will likely have to do it
    without quarterback Ryan Perriloux,
    who often provides a spark off the
    bench. Miles said Perriloux would
    probably not play Saturday because
    of his involvement in a bar fight.

    season game would not feature the
    Trojans of Southern California?
    Instead, the Sun Devils and Ducks
    will do battle in Eugene, Ore. Oregon
    quarterback Dennis Dixon and run-
    ning back Jonathan Stewart have both
    gained considerable Heisman hype
    following big games in the victory
    against USC.
    To add to their resume, they meet
    one of the nations most surprising
    defenses in the Sun Devils. Arizona
    State senior defensive backs Troy
    Nolan and Justin Tryon have inter-
    cepted eight passes.
    Sun Devil quarterback Rudy
    Carpenter is tenth in the nation in
    passing efficiency and throws to a
    number of different receivers regularly.

    Badger running back P.J. Hill,
    who left last weeks game with an
    injury, is expected to return against
    the Buckeyes. Wisconsin will need
    him at full strength.
    No team has scored more than 17
    points on the Buckeyes and only one
    team has eclipsed 300 yards of total
    offense. The Ohio State offense had
    been unspectacular until last week.
    Apparently, quarterback Todd
    Boeckman and running back Chris
    Wells werent fond of all the criticism
    of the offense. Boeckman let loose
    for 253 yards and three touchdowns
    through the air, and Wells ran for
    133 yards against a highly touted
    Penn State defense.
    No one has given the Buckeyes
    more trouble than the Badgers the
    last few years. Wisconsin has won
    three straight at Ohio Stadium.

    the postgame wrap-up
    BY RUSTIN DODD
    rdodd@kansan.com
    After growing up in Kansas and
    dreaming about playing inside Allen
    Fieldhouse, Tyrel Reeds first posses-
    sion as a Jayhawk is something hed
    rather forget.
    With Kansas leading Pittsburg
    State 29-13 early in the second half,
    Pittsburg States Keith Windom
    drove down the right sideline on the
    Jayhawk freshman. Windom turned
    the corner on Reed and burned the
    freshman guard for a layup. Kansas
    29, Pittsburg State 15.
    My defense was not very good at
    all tonight, and they scored way to
    many on me, Reed said. Thats one
    thing I need to get better at. That is
    one thing I know with a little experi-
    ence guarding all of our guards, it
    will get better in the future.
    But Reed showed glimpses of the
    game that made him a Top 100
    recruit out of Burlington High
    School in Burlington.
    Reed played 15 minutes and fin-
    ished with three points and four
    assists in his Kansas debut.
    Reed also showed he has a short
    memory. After surrendering the lay-
    up to Windom, Reed sparked Kansas
    to a 9-0 run that gave the Jayhawks
    their first 20 point lead of the day.
    After fellow freshman Cole Aldrich
    pulled down a rebound and threw
    an outlet pass to Mario Chalmers,
    Chalmers found Reed spotted up in
    the corner and Reed sank his first
    three-pointer in a Kansas uniform.
    Reed returned the favor on the next
    possession, finding Chalmers on
    the wing for an open three pointer.
    Kansas 35, Pittsburg State 15.
    Reeds talent wasnt a secret com-
    ing out of Burlington Roy Williams
    recruited him to North Carolina
    but some people had doubts about
    how much Reed could contribute
    right away to a Kansas team stacked
    with talented guards.
    We have such great guards, I am
    just going to do what Coach Self tells
    me, Reed said
    And then there were those pesky
    Kirk Hinrich comparison. Whether
    its the hair, the height both are
    6-foot-3 or the ability to play
    both guard positions, Reed just cant
    get away from comparisons with the
    former Kansas star.
    Everyone compares me to Kirk
    Hinrich, and thats a great compari-
    son to have, and I try to mold my
    game after him I guess you could
    say, Reed said.
    Whenever my name is men-
    tioned with Kirk Hinrich it kind of
    sends chills through your body, but
    hes such a great player, Im not even
    in his league.
    Reed played both guard positions,
    manning the point guard spot for
    a length of time in the second half,
    and managed four assists in 15 min-
    utes with no turnovers. But he still
    has a way to go before he gets words
    of praise from his coach.
    I thought Tyrel played fine,
    coach Bill Self said. Ive got Tyrel a
    little screwed up right now because
    Ive got him thinking instead of just
    playing.
    But for Reed, the key word is
    playing, and Reeds finally doing it
    in Allen Fieldhouse.

    reed overcomes jitters
    after frst possession
    A redshirt?
    Think everyone played last night?
    Wrong. Sophomore guard Brady
    Morningstar never left the bench
    even in the waning minutes. He
    might not get off the bench all year.
    Morningstar is considering using
    a redshirt, meaning hed sit out this
    year to preserve an extra year of
    eligibility. Self said he talked with
    Morningstar and his family and they
    would make a decision soon.
    I think Brady can help us but
    when Brandon comes back and if
    hes 100 percent, there are some tal-
    ented guys that are ahead of him,
    Self said. Thats something he needs
    to think about.

    Arthurs slow stArt
    Sophomore forward Darrell
    Arthur has been the most improved
    player in practice so far, according to
    Kansas coach Bill Self. Surprisingly,
    he hardly touched the ball during
    the first half.
    We were disappointed at half
    time because he had zero attempts,
    but he had been fouled three times,
    Self said. We were disappointed
    because we have to play through
    him. In the second half, to start the
    half I told our guys that is what we
    are going to do, play through him.
    They listened. Arthur scored 10
    of his 12 points in the second half.

    All five seniors
    Russell Robinson, Jeremy Case,
    Darnell Jackson, Rodrick Stewart
    and Sasha Kaun were on the floor
    together for a while during Thursday
    nights game. No seniors played last
    year. Now five seniors could play at
    the same time.
    Its going to happen because two
    of our big guys are seniors, Self
    said. That was unintentional, but I
    wouldnt be surprised if it happens
    a little bit.

    games are usually about as
    exciting as Disney on Ice
    performances. The year-after-year
    blowouts against helpless opponents
    have less meaning than Adam
    Sandler movies.
    Beyond rooting for Kansas to
    reach 100 points and harassing the
    other teams players for throwing
    up air balls, even the fabled Allen
    Fieldhouse student section seems to
    doze off. But not this season. Not
    in a 94-59 victory against Pittsburg
    State. Thats because the fans in
    attendance all wanted the answer
    to one question: How would senior
    center Sasha Kaun play accompa-
    nied by his new hairdo?
    Kaun growing out his hair has
    been the predominant story leading
    up to the season for the Jayhawks.
    Junior guard Brandon Rushs recov-
    ery from knee surgery and the loss
    of Julian Wright to the NBA clearly
    arent as significant.
    Coach Bill Self referred to Kaun
    as Screech from the classic tele-
    vision show Saved by the Bell.
    Teammates take pleasure in ridicul-
    ing the 6-foot-11 Russian for being
    a pretty boy. But few had seen the
    curly brown mop in action before
    last night.
    It didnt take long for Kaun,
    and his hair, to make an impact
    against the Gorillas. Perhaps the
    loudest Allen Fieldhouse got all
    night was with 17:55 remaining
    in the first half. Sophomore guard
    Sherron Collins saw Kaun under
    the basket and placed a perfect
    alley-oop for the center to take
    advantage of.
    It was just a loose ball and I saw
    Sasha and threw it up. I saw a guy
    there and I didnt know if he could
    jump that high, Collins said. But I
    knew Sasha could jump so I threw
    it up and knew he was going to go
    get it.
    Kaun did more than go get it;
    he ferociously threw it down and
    got to the free throw line to con-
    vert a three-point play. A couple
    of possessions later, three Gorillas
    surrounded Kaun near the block
    but he simply went over all of them
    to record another crowd-pleasing
    bucket.
    The Jayhawks looked slug-
    gish at times in the first half, but
    Kaun continually was the catalyst
    to pick them up. He sneaked up
    on Pittsburg State center Cory
    Abercrombie with just less than
    12 minutes remaining and laid a
    block scary enough to intimidate
    the Kansas football teams defen-
    sive linemen.
    Coach Bill Self said that with
    only four true big men, the low
    post defense must improve. It has
    to start with Kaun. His second half
    wasnt nearly as impressive, and the
    Pittsburg State big men found it
    easier to operate and doubled their
    points in the paint.
    Kaun can be the voltage that
    electrifies Kansas into defining
    spurts this season. Or he could
    wind up more like the Screech by
    being constantly picked on, except it
    would come from opponents below
    the basket instead of classmates in
    high school hallways.
    Either way, senior guard Rodrick
    Stewart said he would continue to
    pester Kaun about his hair.
    Yeah, to be honest, I want to see
    how long it is going to get before he
    cuts it, Stewart said. But its a good
    look for him.

    The Border Showdown starts at
    3 p.m. today in Lawrence against
    rival Missouri at the Jayhawk
    Soccer Complex. Today is also
    Senior Day, and after the match
    the teams five seniors defender
    Kelsey Archuleta, midfielder Nicole
    Cauzillo, defender Afton Sauer,
    midfielder Emily Strinde and goal-
    keeper Colleen Quinn will be
    honored in a ceremony. The first
    250 fans will receive a free Kansas
    soccer T-shirt.
    CATCHING UP
    Tonights showdown against
    the Tigers is the last game of the
    Jayhawks regular season. Next week
    the team heads to San Antonio,
    Texas, where it will battle for the
    Big 12 Championship title. Kansas
    is 6-9-4 overall, 4-2-3 in the Big 12.
    Last weekends win against Iowa
    State gave the Jayhawks a shot at
    competing in San Antonio next
    weekend.
    STACKING UP
    THE JAYHAWKS
    Kansas is in fifth place in con-
    ference standings. However, if
    Texas loses its next game, and the
    Jayhawks win against the Tigers
    tonight, Kansas could move to a
    second-place standing in confer-
    ence play. If Texas wins its next
    match, but the Jayhawks do win
    against Missouri, Kansas would
    move to third place.
    EYEING THE TIGERS
    Missouri, ranked No. 18 in the
    country, is 12-5 overall and 6-3 in
    the Big 12. Last weekend the Tigers
    lost to Iowa State, 1-0. Kansas leads
    in victories against Missouri, 7-6,
    and the Tigers have not seen a win
    in Lawrence since 1996. Missouri
    leads opponents in scoring 46-21
    so far this season, but has seen a
    decrease in its last five games, only
    outscoring opponents 8-7.
    AND THE AWARDS
    GO TO
    Going out with a bang, two
    seniors, Cauzillo and Strinden,
    were honored this week by being
    selected to the Academic All-
    District 7 Second Team by ESPN
    Magazine. This is the second time
    Cauzillo has earned the honor
    and the first time for Strinden.
    Cauzillo has scored the most goals
    this season with five and has three
    assists. Strinden has played 17 of
    19 games this season, and scored
    the first goal of the season for the
    Jayhawks.

    What does Kansas volleyball play-
    er Caitlin Mahoney have in common
    with University of Texas quarter back
    Colt McCoy? Mahoney and McCoy
    were both named to the Big 12 Fall
    Sports Good Works Team, a team
    that recognizes the community ser-
    vice efforts of Big 12 athletes.
    But while McCoy is on national
    television every week as the quarter-
    back of one of the top football pro-
    grams in the country, Mahoney plays
    in anonymity as a middle blocker on
    the Kansas volleyball team.
    McCoys higher prestige is no mat-
    ter for Kansas coach Ray Bechard. He
    said Mahoney exemplified what a
    true student-athlete should be.
    Any time we ask our players to do
    stuff off the court, shes the first one
    with her hand up, Bechard said.
    Mahoney, St. Louis, Mo., senior,
    is in her fifth season with the Kansas
    volleyball program. Mahoney has
    participated in Habitat for Humanity,
    helped coordinate the teams involve-
    ment in the campus canned food
    drive and volunteered and spoke at
    local elementary schools.
    Mahoney said she was excited
    when she learned that the University
    of Kansas and the Athletics
    Department selected her to repre-
    sent Kansas on the team. According
    to a Kansas Athletics department
    press release, Each member institu-
    tion selected a student-athlete for
    recognition based upon significant
    community service, good academic
    standing and participation in a Big
    12-sponsored sport.
    But Mahoney was also a little sur-
    prised.
    You dont expect to get awards
    for doing that kind of stuff. You do
    it because you want to help people,
    she said.
    Mahoney credits her mother for
    giving her some motherly instincts.
    I always feel like I need to help
    people, Mahoney said.
    And what about seeing her name
    next to McCoys on the Big 12 Good
    Works team?
    Thats awesome, Mahoney said.
    I havent seen the list yet. I like to
    know that others are out there doing
    things like I am.

    said she had been trying to keep
    the team from getting down
    on themselves. When you go
    through a stretch weve been
    through you just have to stay
    positive and i try to bring some
    enthusiasm, mahoney said.

    Mens lacrosse competes in Tillar Cup
    bY EmilY musKin
    emuskin@kansan.com
    Quite often seen as a coastal
    sport, lacrosse seems to be mov-
    ing to the middle. The Kansas
    mens club lacrosse team formed
    in 1982 and today has about 35
    members.
    This weekend the team hopes
    to extend its three-year domi-
    nance of the Kansas State Tillar
    Cup. Sophomore Matt Tingle
    described last years victory at the
    tournament as the greatest team
    achievement during his time on
    the club.
    Because of the sports popu-
    larity on the East and West
    coasts, the team has a wide vari-
    ety of players and backgrounds.
    Most of the members played
    other sports in the past and are
    now able to put these skills to
    use on the lacrosse field.
    Junior member and club
    president Jay Vaglio said,
    Lacrosse combines the finesse
    of soccer and basketball with
    the added bonus of being able
    to hit someone.
    Senior member Jarred Kolars
    switch to lacrosse was a result
    of the large amount of time
    he spent in the outfield or on
    the bench during past baseball
    seasons.
    A lacrosse game is four quar-
    ters and two hours of nonstop
    running and the occasional hit-
    ting as well. Ten men are on the
    field at one time, and the coach
    can substitute at any time during
    the game.
    Vaglio said that lacrosse had
    been called the fastest game on
    two feet.
    This year the team will get to
    test out its skills at tournaments
    in Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois,
    Texas and right here in Lawrence.
    Though the team is still work-
    ing on making it to the national
    tournament, Tingle, Vaglio and
    Kolar all received individual hon-
    ors for their excellent play on the
    field last year. Though Vaglio and
    Kolar are nearing the end of their
    college years, they can rest assured
    that they will not have to give up
    lacrosse any time soon. Leagues
    are all over the nation now, and
    Midwesterners are finally getting
    a taste of what the coastal states
    have enjoyed for years: lacrosse.

    Near the start of the fourth quar-
    ter of last Saturdays game, the Texas
    A&M Aggies looked asleep on their
    feet. Quarterback Stephen McGee
    struggled to control the ball after a
    poor snap and made a half-hearted
    attempt to hand it off to running
    back Mike Goodson. But Goodson
    and McGee were not in sync, and the
    ball fell to the turf.
    Kansas junior defensive end John
    Larson was alert enough to sneak
    between the Aggies and corral the
    football, short-circuiting a Texas
    A&M drive and putting the Jayhawk
    offense in position to score a touch-
    down four plays later.
    Its no wonder Larson was feeling
    fresh enough to beat his opponents
    to the fumble: Because of improved
    depth on defense, the Jayhawks have
    been able to play at a high level deep
    into the second half of games.
    Were using a lot of kids,
    Mangino said. Some of those guys
    that are quote-unquote twos are
    playing a lot of repetitions, and actu-
    ally becoming one-minuses, maybe.
    Those kids are getting a lot of play-
    ing time and playing well.
    On the defensive line, the Jayhawk
    one-minuses include freshman
    defensive end Jake Laptad and soph-
    omore defensive end Jeff Wheeler.
    Laptad occasionally slides into one of
    the defensive end spots to give either
    Larson or junior Russell Brorsen a
    breather. Wheeler is the teams pass-
    rushing specialist, a quarterbacks
    worst nightmare at 6-foot-7, 260-
    pounds. Wheeler has recorded just
    eight tackles this season, but three
    of those resulted in a loss of yardage
    and two were sacks.
    The Kansas defensive backfield is
    also overflowing with serviceable play-
    ers. In the teams third-down pack-
    age, senior safety Sadiq Muhammed
    and freshman defensive backs Justin
    Thornton and Chris Harris enter the
    game to supplement the pass defense.
    Harris, a true freshman, proved him-
    self by holding his own as a starter
    for seven games before becoming a
    one-minus last weekend. Thornton,
    a safety who ran into hard times as a
    true freshman starter last season, has
    improved measurably and is currently
    tied for the team lead in interceptions
    with three.
    The Jayhawk reserves have con-
    tributed something more than tack-
    les and interceptions this season.
    Their success has allowed Mangino
    flexibility in his personnel decisions.
    The coach feels comfortable putting
    freshmen such as Laptad and Harris
    in to keep his starters legs feeling
    fresh late in games.
    Our team has a lot of depth this
    year, Wheeler said. I think a lot of
    our guys have contributed a lot to
    this team and what weve done over
    the past eight games. Definitely the
    first and second teams have both
    put in their work to make our team
    what it is.

    Deprice Taylor. The 5-9 Taylor is
    the kind of foor leader that can af-
    fect every aspect of the game. She
    is a long, athletic guard that can
    shoot, rebound and pass without
    committing untimely turnovers.
    Taylor started 29 of 30 games for
    Barton County, quarterbacking the
    Cougars to a share of the Jayhawk
    Conference West regular season
    title and a twelve game winning
    streak. Kansas will have to stop
    Taylors dribble penetration and
    force her to exert energy defen-
    sively on Sunday to minimize her
    impact on the game.
    How quickly can the Gorillas
    14 new faces learn coach Lane
    Lords system? Lord was smart to
    bring a few key players from last
    seasons Barton team to Pittsburg
    that should ease the transition
    to a new system and coach. The
    Gorillas play Kansas and Missouri
    on back-to-back days, and if the
    players havent absorbed it by now,
    the results will be obvious against
    two Big 12 schools. Taylor should
    have no problem adjusting to the
    competition but it remains to be
    seen how the rest of the team will
    cope.
    PLAYER TO WATCH
    Offense
    Despite losing last seasons leading scorer, forward Candice Gilbert,
    the Gorillas welcome in a fresh infusion of ofensive talent. Junior
    college transfers Deprice Taylor and Brianna Buchanan bring stabil-
    ity and veteran savvy to the Pittsburg State backcourt. Taylor is an
    athletic point guard from Detroit, Mich., that averaged 11.8 points, 3.6
    rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season at Barton County Com-
    munity College. The Gorillas also added University of Idaho transfer Liz
    Witte, the second leading three-point shooter in the Western Athletic
    Conference for the Vandals as a junior. Witte should help Pittsburg
    State improve its three-point shooting after the team made only 3.3
    three pointers per game a year ago, the 239th lowest total in Division
    II.
    Defense
    For the most part the Gorillas were an average defensive team dur-
    ing 2006-2007. A revamped lineup characterized by a drastic increase
    in athleticism should help put more pressure on opposing teams. The
    loss of Gilberts inside presence leaves a gap in Pittsburg States interior
    defense. Her rebounding and shot blocking will be difcult to replace
    but the Gorillas will push the pace in an efort to create turnovers.
    One of the lone positives last season was the teams ability to
    defend without committing fouls. The Gorillas averaged 15.8
    fouls per game, 40th in the nation.
    cOaching
    Pittsburg State hired new coach Lane Lord on April 5 to
    make wholesale changes to a stagnant program that fnished
    11-16 last season. Lord did just that by bringing 14 new
    players into the Gorilla program. The haul included seven
    transfers and seven incoming freshman, many of whom
    followed him from his last coaching job at Barton County
    Community College. The Gorillas hope that Lords success
    at his previous stops at Wichita Heights High School,
    where his teams won two 6A state championships, and
    Barton, where the Cougars were 27-3 last year under
    Lord translates into success in the highly competitive
    MIAA.

    Offense
    If the end of the 2006-07 season is any indicator, the Kansas ofense
    should hit the ground running. Sophomore Danielle McCray and senior
    Taylor McIntosh were heating up down the stretch, and theyll have
    plenty of help. Sophomores Porscha Weddington and Sade Morris
    each impressed coaches with their performances on the teams August
    trip to Australia. Also, sophomore Kelly Kohn and junior Ivana Catic
    provide some pop from the point guard position. Freshmen Nicollette
    Smith, Krysten Boogaard and Chakeitha Weldon will each get some
    playing time and have a chance to see how they ft into the ofensive
    scheme.
    Defense
    This was a problem area last year, as the several freshmen who
    saw playing time struggled to keep up on the defensive end. Coach
    Bonnie Henrickson stressed better defensive position in the
    ofseason, but her players need to transfer that work onto
    the court. Low post players, especially, need to improve
    from last year because that position isnt deep enough
    to handle any serious foul trouble. This team has too
    many other concerns to worry about bad fouls
    down low. They wont face a real test on Sunday,
    but its important to do well now so they have
    confdence come time for the real thing.
    cOaching
    Henrickson had to cut her playbook in half
    last year because of inexperience and the lack of
    an inside post presence. Now she has her pieces in
    place, depending on the play of junior Marija Zinic and
    Boogaard. If her post players perform well, Henricksons
    ofense is 10 times better. If not, this team looks a lot like
    last years squad. Unless Henrickson is willing to change up her
    ofensive style of play, which she did with mixed results last season,
    then one of these two players will have to step up and perform to
    Henricksons expectations.
    freshman Krysten boogaard.
    Boogaard could be the diference
    for this team down the stretch.
    Henricksons preferred ofense
    runs through a dominant low-post
    player, something she didnt have
    last year. It will be interesting to
    see how the 65 Boogaard fts into
    Henricksons system, and that will
    depend heavily on her play at both
    ends of the court.
    Has fve months of cooled
    them of? The Jayhawks greatest
    success came at the end of the
    year when they won fve of their
    fnal nine games, including a Big 12
    tournament upset over Oklahoma
    State. The team looked solid on the
    Australia trip this summer, but will
    they be able to re-capture that fre
    from last season and turn it into
    another winning streak?

    Not that he cant carry it. Hes
    broken the
    100-yard mark
    four times this
    season and
    was the go-to

    doesnt fnd room to run. If Lucky
    can get past a vicious Kansas
    front seven early, look for him to
    keep Nebraska in the game.
    How efective can new
    starting quarterback Joe Ganz
    be? Its the million dollar ques-
    tion heading into the game for
    both teams. The junior obviously
    wasnt good enough in training
    camp because he lost the posi-
    tion battle to Sam Keller. But if
    Ganz can fnd a rhythm against
    the Kansas defense, he could
    haunt it because the Jayhawks
    were unable to scout Ganz lead-
    ing up to the game.
    How will Nebraska stop
    the Kansas ground game? Dead
    last. Thats where the Cornhusk-
    ers rank in rushing defense
    nationally. Jayhawk running back
    Brandon McAnderson enters
    fresh of of a game where he ran
    for a career-high 186 yards. Jake
    Sharps quickness to the holes
    makes for a mismatch against the
    Nebraska defense.
    An easy way to judge the
    success of a team is to count
    its media requests. Before this
    season, Mark Mangino s media
    request sheet usually contained
    four or fve items each week.
    After the teams 8-0 start, two
    pages worth of media outlets
    want to speak with Mangino,
    and the coach has struggled to
    meet all of the demand. If Kan-
    sas keeps winning, Mangino can
    count on having a full schedule
    for the foreseeable future.

    a Texas A&M front seven that
    had been decent against the
    run up to that point. Saturday,
    Sharp and
    his blockers
    will face the
    worst run de-
    fense in the
    nation. The
    Cornhuskers
    have allowed
    almost
    250 yards
    per game on the ground this
    season, and Sharp seems due
    for a breakout game against a
    molasses-slow defense.
    How will Scott Webb deal
    with adversity? The senior kicker
    has been exceptionally consis-
    tent during his entire collegiate
    career, but he missed three feld
    goals last weekend. The game
    may not be close enough to
    bring Webbs accuracy issues
    into play, but it will be inter-
    esting to see whether he can
    bounce back.
    Can the Jayhawks cover
    the spread once more? In 2007,
    Kansas has covered the spread
    in all seven of the games with
    a betting line. Vegas favors the
    Jayhawks by 19 points will
    they be able to rout the Corn-
    huskers?

    The Kansas ofense may have scored only 19 points last week
    against Texas A&M, but it probably deserved more. For the third
    consecutive game, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing did not
    throw an interception, and he completed nearly two-thirds of his pass
    attempts. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson displayed an im-
    pressive combination of power and speed on his way to a career-high
    183 rushing yards. Poor special teams play cost the Jayhawk ofense
    the extra points it should have put on the board.
    defenSe
    The defense is coming of of its best performance of the conference
    season. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton and junior linebacker
    James Holt stufed the formidable Texas A&M run game and the Kan-
    sas secondary did an admirable job of containing the Aggies option
    runs. With one of the nations best tackles in McClinton, a very solid
    group of linebackers and a star cornerback in Talib, the Kansas defense
    is sturdy on all three levels.
    SpeciaL teaMS
    Another week, another area of concern for the Jayhawk special
    teams. Senior kicker Scott Webb has been solid throughout his career,
    so there should not be too many worries about his perfor-
    mance. But the blocked feld goal in the frst quarter
    showed a crack in Kansas kicking game. Sophomore
    wide receiver Anthony Webb has not yet misplayed a
    punt, but his reckless style and hesitance to call a fair
    catch is a bit troubling.
    MOMentuM
    The Jayhawks are riding
    high for yet another
    week. The team started
    the season by proving
    it could win at home
    and has recently
    established national
    credibility by pulling out
    three road victories over respect-
    able Big 12 Conference opponents.
    ESPN is paying attention, Todd Reesing
    is a Davey OBrien Award semifnal-
    ist, and most importantly, the team is
    undefeated. Its beginning to look like
    Kansas isnt just a basketball school
    anymore.
    cOaching
    A great deal of the credit for the pro-
    grams turnaround has to go to the man
    in charge, head coach Mark Mangino.
    Since his arrival at Kansas, he has com-
    pared the process of building the pro-
    gram to sawing wood. During some
    of the more disappointing moments
    of Manginos tenure, it seemed all
    that sawing was for naught. Now
    that his team is competing for a
    BCS bowl bid and is heavily favored
    against the once-mighty Nebraska
    Cornhuskers, the hard work is
    paying dividends.

    OffenSe
    Exactly what Nebraska will do on ofense against Kansas remains
    a mystery because of quarterback Sam Kellers season-ending injury.
    Junior Joe Ganz will make the frst start of his career in Lawrence. In
    limited action this season, he is 3-for-4 with 75 yards and a touchdown.
    But Ganz adds a new dimension to the ofense because he can run the
    ball. The change of pace could actually be a blessing in disguise for the
    NU ofense, because the more it has run the ball, the better it has been
    this season. Junior running back Marlon Lucky exploded for 233 yards
    in the season opener against Nevada but has fallen to averaging only
    92 yards per game since. The running games efciency is credited to
    the ofensive line, anchored by center Brett Byford. The receiving corps
    is deep and talented with Maurice Purify, Nate Swift and Terrence
    Nunn each with at least 25 receptions.
    defenSe
    The Cornhusker ofense has been competitive enough to win
    games this season. The same cant be said for the defense. A lot was
    expected of this unit before the season began. The defensive line
    was an area of concern but was supposed to be shored up by highly
    recruited players such as sophomore Ndamukong Suh, whose frst
    name means House of Spears. But with only one sack this season, hes
    not spearing the quarterback nearly enough. Nebraska ranks 112th
    nationally in sacks. Some of the blame has to be on the linebackers. Bo
    Ruud, for example, looked like one of the Big 12 Conferences best. But
    with only four tackles per game, his season is as disappointing as Kelly
    Osbournes music career. Nebraska has experimented with many dif-
    ferent personnel combinations in the secondary. They all shared one
    thing in common: they couldnt stop the pass.

    At least the Cornhuskers are outstanding at one thing: kick
    coverage. They rank frst in the Big 12 in kickof coverage
    and have booted eleven touchbacks. Cortney Grixby
    is one of the better kick and punt returners
    in the Big 12 conference. Dan Titchener has
    handled the punting duties well. Alex
    Henry hasnt missed a feld goal yet but
    that could be because hes only at-
    tempted six.
    MOMentuM
    46 years is more than just a meaning-
    less statistic. The fact that its been that long
    since Nebraska lost four consecutive games
    provides a harrowing look at how far its fallen
    since the glory days. Nebraska led Texas going
    into the fourth quarter last week before letting
    all the positive momentum slip away. Longhorn
    running back Jamaal Charles rushed for three
    touchdowns in the fourth quarter in a shocking
    comeback victory for Texas. At this point, the
    Cornhuskers are simply trying not to stain the rich
    NU tradition any further.
    cOaching
    Bill Callahan has served as the scapegoat for the
    improbable losing season in Lincoln, Neb. It will almost cer-
    tainly cost him his job at the end of the season. But Callahan
    cant possibly be that bad of a coach. He is the same guy
    who led the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl appearance in
    his frst year at the helm. Defensive coordinator Kevin Cos-
    grove must shoulder the majority of the blame for failing to
    put a competitive unit on the feld despite undeniable talent.
