said that he encourages his students to share their personal experiences in class discussion and that no topic is taboo. Ali Free, a junior from Blue Springs, Mo., and co-coordinator of the Universitys Sexuality Education Committee, said that the course offers students and the Lawrence community valuable lessons for couples in relationships. Trial and error works, but its not very efficient and it causes so much pain, she said. He addresses a lot of the underlying issues that plague a lot of relationships. Dailey taught his course on human sexuality at the University for more than 30 years, attracting hundreds of students to enroll in the class each semester. However, the course encountered controversy throughout its history at the University, including protests from the Westboro Baptist Church. In 2003, Kansas Sen. Susan Wagle alleged that Daileys course was obscene and that students experienced sexual harassment, according to University documents. But after an investigation conducted by former University Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor David Shulenburger, Sen. Wagles complaints were deemed

Learn, love your body

BoBBy BurCh
bburch@kansan.com For students in Dr. Dennis Daileys course Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, eyeballing six-foot photographs of penises and vaginas is simply a method to understand the human body. The exercises objective, according to Dailey, professor Emeritus of the Universitys School of Social Welfare, is to normalize and desensitize attitudes about the human body. People particularly women because they are so objectified in our culture become detached from their bodies. They dont understand their bodies and they dont live with them graciously, he said. If you see enough bodies, you see enough genitals, all of a sudden it will occur to you in the general flow of things theres nothing wrong with it. Daileys non-credit 10-week course on human sexuality, which begins next semester at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., examines a variety of topics, ranging from human physiology and anatomy to masturbation. The course, organized by the Universitys Sexuality Education Committee, opens with an indepth conceptualization and definition of human sexuality. Dailey

Moving with grace and precision across a stage is no easy feat. Learning and practicing several complex routines while going to classes, working and trying to have a social life makes it an even tougher achievement, but the University Dance Company made three months of hard work look fun as they performed on the Lied Center stage last night. The University Dance Company is a student organization run through the dance department. Students began preparing for this performance at the beginning of the semester and have been working on each piece for three to four hours per week, said dance company president Libby Ingram, a senior from Tulsa, Okla. Im in four of the pieces and its a really great concert this semester just because theres a really large variety, Ingram said. In terms of style, there is a vast range. Several different types of ballet were represented as well as modern dance and moments of jazz, step and folk dancing. Music pieces ranged from polka to Celtic, delivering climactic crescendos and eerily quiet passages. One dance, And Now, did not include any music at all.

Kaplan, a professor at the Harvard Business School, spoke to more than 350 people at Dole Institute of Politics Thursday evening about his management role at one of the worlds largest investment banking firms. Leadership is not about having all the answers its about asking the right questions, he said. And being willing to ask questions and seek help and be open to learning. Kaplan spoke, about a variety of topics, but focused primarily on the qualities of leadership described in Kaplans book, What to Ask the Person in the Mirror. Kaplan also answered audience members questions regarding the erosion of the middle class in the United States. As a leader you have to articulate a vision an aspiration, he

Against the backdrop of anti-austerity protesters clashing with riot police, Italys new premier appealed to Italians on Thursday to accept sacrifices to save their country from bankruptcy, but pledged economic growth and greater social cohesion in return. Mario Monti is under enormous pressure to boost growth and bring down Italys high debt, not only to save Italy from succumbing to the debt crisis but to prevent a catastrophic disintegration of the common euro currency. Europe is experiencing the most difficult days since the end of the Second World War, Monti told parliament in his debut address. Lets not fool ourselves, honored senators, that the European project can survive if the monetary union fails.

A female activist who posted nude pictures of herself on her blog to protest limits on free expression has triggered an uproar in Egypt, drawing condemnations from conservatives and liberals alike. Some liberals feared that the posting by 20-year-old university student Aliaa Magda Elmahdy would taint them in the eyes of deeply conservative Egyptians ahead of Nov. 28 parliamentary elections in which they are trying to compete with fundamentalist Islamic parties. Nudity is strongly frowned upon in Egyptian society, even as an art form. Elmahdys posting is almost unheard of in a country where most women in the Muslim majority wear the headscarf and even those who dont rarely wear clothes exposing the arms or legs in public.

Israel has identified eastern Africa as an important strategic interest and is stepping up ties with nations in the region in a joint effort to control the spread of Islamic extremists, officials said Thursday. In effect, Israel would become a player siding with Christian-led African nations in conflicts with Muslim movements, a fault line that has sharpened around the continent in recent years. Israels prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, hosted the leaders of Uganda and Kenya earlier this week, following a meeting at the United Nations in September with the president of the newly liberated South Sudan, the mainly Christian and animist nation that gained independence from Muslim Arab-led Sudan in July.

Russia is facing a heightened risk of being drawn into conflicts at its borders that have the potential of turning nuclear, the nations top military officer said Thursday. Gen. Nikolai Makarov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, cautioned over NATOs expansion eastward and warned that the risks of Russia being pulled into local conflicts have risen sharply. Makarov added, according to Russian news agencies, that under certain conditions local and regional conflicts may develop into a fullscale war involving nuclear weapons. A steady decline in Russias conventional forces has prompted the Kremlin to rely increasingly on its nuclear deterrent.

Dolls, trucks, Pillow Pets and action figures are just a few of the toys that have already been donated to Toys for Tots in Lawrence so far. The national campaign is designed to help families that cant provide presents for children this holiday season. Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union Programs said that helping families at this time of the year is important to her. A mom or dad is going to get to come through and pick out toys that they think are great for their kid, she said. And they get to spend so much time at different areas picking out not just one toy, but a couple toys to really make their holiday special. Train cards with present ideas, gender and ages on them are located on drop-off locations on campus at Mrs. Es Dining Hall, the Kansas Union

lobby, Anschutz Library and the Ambler Student Recreation Center. Students who participate take trains off the walls and donate a present suited for the age range printed on the card. In December, all the gifts will be sent to a store at Sixth and Wakarusa streets to be distributed to those in need. Douglas County Toys for Tots coordinator Mary Jones said the campaign is about helping families come together. If somebody comes to us and gives toys, maybe thatll take a little burden off and they can then pay their rent or not have to worry about their kid not having anything, she said. We think all children should have a Christmas. To donate a gift, visit the Toys for Tots website at www.toysfortots.org to find a drop-off location near you. Steven Small

WASHINGTON Republicans have listed North Carolinas Blue Dog Democrats as an endangered species, but Reps. Heath Shuler and Mike McIntyre say they have some bite left in them. Under a Republican redistricting plan approved this month by the U.S. Justice Department, the two moderate Democrats are on the short list of the most vulnerable members of Congress in the 2012 elections. Republicans, who refer to the pair as Obamas lapdogs, are investing heavily in the races and see North Carolina as ground zero in their efforts to increase their House of Representatives majority. A loss by either man would further deteriorate the conservative Southern wing of the national Democratic Party, as moderates in both parties are being dr-iven toward extinction. The once-powerful Blue Dog Coalition is down to 26 members and stands to be cut in half again in 2012. So far, four members have announced they will not run for re-election. The moderates demise comes at a time when Congress is plagued by historically low approval ratings and voters are calling for an end to partisan bickering. Edwin Grant, a Republican who voted for Shuler, said he was frustrated with the

vitriol in Washington. Everyone seems to be worried about their own agenda instead of doing the right thing, said Grant, 48, who lives in the mountain community of Franklin. you got Democrats on one side and Republicans on the other. There is no common ground in the middle. Its always a battle to the last minute before they do the right thing. The former game warden said he has voted for Republicans like John McCain for president and also Democrats like Gov. Bev Perdue. He said hed like his leaders to do the same: be independent and not toe the party line. Its a sentiment shared by some members of Congress as well. Compromise is not a dirty word, said Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., a fellow Blue Dog. you diminish the Blue Dog members, and you let the crazies on the left and the right take over, and thats not good for anybody. The Blue Dogs were formed in 1995 after sweeping Republican victories in Congress to give more-conservative members in the Democratic Party a unified voice. The name was chosen because members said they felt choked blue by the extremes in both parties. McClatchy-Tribune

Celebrating 50 years of culture on campus

CLAIRE mCINERNY
cmcinerny@kansan.com The Center for Latin American Studies is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week by hosting a series of lectures that honor the Center and Latin American culture. The growth and success of the Center are main focuses of the celebrations, said Anita Herzfeld, director of undergraduate studies at the Center. The Center was created 50 years ago, when Chancellor Franklin Murphy and former dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, George Wa g g o n n e r, wanted to int e r n at i on a l ize the UniHerzfeld versity. The two worked to establish relationships with universities in Latin America and eventually created the Center for Latin American Studies. At its creation in 1961 the center offered only three majors but now offers 30 majors and 50 minors. Zach OBea, a junior from Leavenworth, said having a Latin American Studies major is very laid back. There is no set curriculum, so students can choose to study whatever aspect of Latin American culture interests them. OBea studies the politics of Latin American countries and Portuguese, and hopes to continue this passion after college. Ive always been interested in Latin America and I have a lot of friends who live there, OBea said. My family and I have been to Argentina to visit friends many times, and I wanted a major that would allow me to learn more about the region and hopefully get a job that would let me travel there more. Herzfeld said the Center for Latin American Studies offers learning opportunities to many students at the University, even if they dont realize it. A lot of students study Spanish and they dont ever think of getting a degree in Latin American Studies at the same time, Herzfeld said. The events on Friday and Saturday include speeches from well-known professors, government officials and business people who are involved with or know a lot about Latin American culture. There are also speakers traveling from Latin American countries to help the center celebrate its anniversary. Herzfeld said she hopes the various speeches and celebrations this weekend help promote the Center to students who might not already know about it, and to also recognize the people who started it and the accomplishments of the past 50 years. Its also important to promote the idea that a Latin American Studies degree is interdisciplinary, therefore it offers the chance of a lifetime for people to find out something about the cultures

For me restoring the middle class in this country should be job No. 1, I think its directly related to the unemployment situation and the housing crisis. Kaplan received a bachelors degree in accounting from the University and graduated in 1979. After receiving an MBA from Harvard in 1983, Kaplan was hired at Goldman Sachs, Inc., where he served multiple roles, including global co-head of the investment banking division between 1999 and 2002. Goldman Sachs was among several firms to accept government bailout money in 2008. In July 2011, the firm agreed to pay $550 million to settle fraud charges with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, conducted an open interview with Kaplan. Lacy said that Kaplans book is a useful tool in developing management skills.

Files of medical records stolen, four million people affected

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The theft of a computer containing information on more than 4 million patients of a major Northern California health care provider may be among the largest breaches of health care data in recent years, but its far from the only incident of its kind. Over the last two years, health care organizations have reported 364 incidents involving the loss or theft of information ranging from names and addresses to social security numbers and medical diagnoses on nearly 18 million patients equivalent to the population of Florida. A thief stole medical information on more than 4 million patients of Sacramento-based Sutter Health last month by the simple act of breaking a window with a rock at the affiliated Sutter Medical Foundation. Stolen over the weekend of Oct. 15 were monitors, keyboards and a desktop computer containing patient information dating to 1995. Employees reported the theft to Sacramento police when they returned to work that Monday, Oct. 17, said Sgt. Andrew Pettit, though they didnt notify the public until Wednesday, a month later. The company said in announcing the theft Wednesday that some patients might not receive mailed notices until early next month. If that machine is that valuable, then there should be more security measures where that is protected. Theres got to be something in place to make sure that that doesnt happen, Pettit said. Police were investigating the burglary as a routine smash-andgrab property theft, he said, and so far there is no indication that the information in the computer has been used. Since federal health care data breach notification rules took effect in 2009, Health and Human Services records show that the Sutter theft was exceeded only when the U.S. militarys health insurance program lost backup tapes in September containing information on more than 4.9 million patients. While Sutter said the computer was password-protected, the data on patients was not encrypted, drawing criticism from privacy and computer security experts.

StocKton, calif. a high school teacher is under investigation after school officials said she was maintaining a pornographic website from her schoolissued laptop computer. Lincoln High School teacher Heidi Kaeslin is on paid leave while the district investigates whether she violated its code of ethics, the Stockton Record reported. the investigation also involves former Stockton police officer Richard Fields, who was assigned to the school as a resource officer. He told the newspaper he

had acquired domain names including mysluttyteachers.com to develop them into websites. Fields said Kaeslins involvement was limited, and he eventually abandoned the venture. the newspaper reports that one of the websites was active for only one day in February, which could indicate a test run. Fields said the allegations are overblown. Kaeslin and her attorney declined to comment. Kaeslin, a special education teacher and former girls soccer coach, has been with the district since 2002. Fields retired from the police department in May. the

two are romantically linked, according to the paper. Lincoln unified School district has hired a computer expert to study the content on the laptop. chet Quaide, an attorney representing the district, said the school adopted an ethics code in 2003. the code calls for teachers to adhere to the highest ethical standards and to attain and maintain the highest possible degree of ethical conduct, he told the newspaper.

LOS ANGELES MTV will air a one-hour special in tribute to Ryan Dunn, who died in a car accident in June. The special, which will air Nov. 28, gives viewers a look at Dunns life from his early years in Ohio to his rise as one of the stars of Jackass to his death and feature interviews with Johnny Knoxville, Rob Dyrdek, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Jeff Tremaine and Bam Margera, among others. Its a surreal thing to undertake, doing a tribute to our brother Ryans life, Knoxville said in a statement. I still cant believe hes gone, but we wouldnt trust anyone else with this, so we are doing the best we can for Ryan, his family, friends, and everyone who loved him, Knoxville said. Never-before-seen video from Dunns days on Viva LA Bam and Jackass will also be shown. Before the Ryan Dunn Tribute Special which is produced by Tremaine, Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Derek Freda MTV will air a new episode of Ridiculousness, which guest stars Dunn in one of his final TV appearances.

happy Feet Two has two left feet

MCCLATChy TribuNe
LOS ANGELES Its hard to resist dancing penguins, but Happy Feet Two may make you want to try. Though it features tens of thousands of Antarctic types toe-tapping their way across the screen, it doesnt have a clear idea of what else it wants them to do. George Miller returns to direct and co-write the sequel to Happy Feet, but the clean, focused story line of a penguin born to dance that won the first film the best animated feature Oscar in 2006 has not found its equal here. Instead Happy Feet Two hopes the things it does well like making all those penguins dance with as much precision as the Rockettes will encourage audiences to overlook how random and haphazard its narrative is, the way it jolts along from one episode to the next without providing anything that ties the pieces together. Perhaps sensing that this randomness is a problem, Happy Feet Two begins with a mission statement that sounds suspiciously like an apology for a lack of focus: Everything in this world, no matter how big, no matter how small, is connected in ways we never expect. Returning to the sequel from the first film is Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), the misunderstood penguin who danced when all the others sang. Now he and mate Gloria (Alecia Moore, otherwise known as Pink) are parents themselves, and Mumble has to deal with Erik (Ava Acres), a tiny son who has self-expression problems similar to his dads. Back as well is Ramon (Robin Williams), the amorously inclined Adelie penguin who has been spending time with Mumble and his fellow emperors. Fed up with his romantic prospects, he decides to return home, unaware that Erik and two pals are going to tag along for the ride. Sean Powers

Coffee has clearly carved out a large portion of the population and nabs more and more people every day. The ready availability of coffee shops and the frequency by which we visit them also points to this larger trend. Think about the last time you were asked by a friend if you wanted to go grab a cup of coffee and catch up, or chose a study location on campus or downtown only because there was a barista within reach.

Around 50 percent of the adult population of the United States drinks coffee regularly, according to the National Coffee Association. I count myself among the most religiously-addicted coffee drinkers of the population; somewhere along the line of my college education, being a full-time student and working around 30 hours a week instilled enough curiosity in me to eventually try it out, and my need for a daily caffeine fix was born. The fact that I even tried coffee in the first place points to something larger in our culture. I saw others drinking it and heard how others see it as a studying savior. In terms of these drinkers, there are ritual drinkers who need those cups to get through their day

bsalsbury@kansan.com become so popular in our culture? I have some friends who will only drink it cold, and others who prefer it as steamy as possible. Then, I have certain friends who barely even like coffee, yet still drink it anyway. I would compare it with watching a certain TV

show just because of its extreme popularity with friends (Jersey Shore, anyone?). As social beings, we dont want to be left out, and well watch something that we dont enjoy just because we want to be a part of the conversation. Once something takes root in a certain culture and manages to retain popularity over a sustained period of time, it becomes standard and changes at a very slow pace. We see this not only with TV shows, but with legislation and current fashions. Prolonged change is difficult. Because of how our culture is structured, coffees essential spot wont be broken anytime soon: Rough work hours and the amount of schoolwork to be accomplished

breeds the need for a cup of Joe. But wait, coffee costs money? Well, thankfully you have a job. Coffee isnt going anywhere. Coffee will live for ages in shops, grocery stores, your kitchen counter, and as a necessary accessory to the fabric of your day. It isnt a fad like certain drinks of choice and other material objects. Its hold on us has led it to be a cultural staple, no matter if we prefer it black, iced, as watered down as possible, or, dare I say it, not at all.

Bringing back memories through old CD collection

You can say Im a music nerd; my iTunes library holds 19,369 songs from 1,624 albums by 622 artists. Music is pretty much my life. I was once called out of school my freshman year of high school to take care of a downloading problem that Cox Communications had with my familys internet connection. Cox must have realized that I was downloading some music illegally. But of those 1,624 albums, not all of them were downloaded illegally I have at least 400 of them in my closet on compact disc. I end up buying the CDs that I listen to most. When I decided that I was bored with the CDs in my car, I dove into this box in my closet of my apartment to switch up the music I was listening to. I practically had a heart attack of nostalgia for this music and the memories they brought up. I wanted to listen to all these different bands at the exact same time. Once I realized that the human brain cant possibly endure such a concept of enjoyment, I was deeply saddened. The problem with having so much music is that most of it gets forgotten. My real sadness came from the realization that these CDs are more like a yearbook. Every

dlysen@kansan.com CD points back to a different phase of my life. I was once told that smell was the strongest sense attached to memory, but the sound of these songs threw me through a memory tumble. When I listen to my Led Zeppelin CDs, I think back to my middle school years when I started making my own decisions on the music I listened to, no matter how badly MTV wanted me to listen to 50 Cent. I hear a song by Thrice and I remember my freshman year of high school and a friend changing my perspective of emo music. I started to freak out and search through this box and play songs that seemed to have a serious impact on my life. The Devil Wears Pradas first album changed my belief on music that used screaming vocals instead of singing. When I look at my 3OH!3 CD, I remember breaking my nose at Warped Tour

while watching them perform, and how all the hipsters had decided they werent cool anymore because they had soldout. Hearing songs by Story of the Year that takes me back to the days of driving around the country roads that surround the Greater Wichita Area. It just seems crazy to me that songs about so many different subjects can sum up my life. How songs of immigration (Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin), punk life (Fat Lip by Sum 41), dealing with heartbreak (Nothing In My Way by Keane), dog collars (Choke Chain by 3OH!3), or straightedge anthems (Still Here by H2O) mean more about my life than they do as stories in songs. After finishing the switch up for my car stereo, I packed up the CDs and put them back in the closet. They will have to wait for another day of heart attacks of nostalgia. I may not use them much, but these hard copies of the music I love mean more than just stories. But for now, the memories of my life live in a box in my closet.

Check your facts on the Confederates

I was disappointed and dismayed to read Lou Schumakers Confederacy article today. The article was filled with historical inaccuracies and clear cut prejudice. In the article, Mr. Schumaker slanders the Confederate South as nothing more than slavery-loving traitors. He completely ignores the (inconvenient) fact that the Confederate Army was made up of poor, slaveless subsistence farmers, and not rich plantation owners. He also seems to forget that the Civil War started over a fear of protective tariffs destroying the Southern economy, not of their slaves being freed. Lincoln himself said throughout his campaign and up to the early days of his presidency that he had no intention of freeing the slaves. In fact, Lincoln didnt even consider freeing the slaves until mid1862, a full year into the war. Furthermore, the only reason the Emancipation Proclamation was issued was to damage the Souths credibility and cripple its economy. Some of the most fervent abolitionists: William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, and even Lincoln were opposed to the idea and immorality of slavery, but, as most Americans were at the time, were very racist. Most abolitionists wanted to free the slaves in order to send them back to Africa, not to give them equal rights. Mr. Schumaker complains about the positive portrayal of Confederate Southerners in TV and film, yet seems to forget that we are taught from elementary school up that the sinless North crusaded against the evil slave-owning South, and emerged victorious. The history books teach us this, yet Schumaker seems to think that we are all being brainwashed into believing the opposite. I find this insulting on many levels. First, he completely ignores history in favor of his prejudiced view. Second, he seems to believe that our generation is made up of complete idiots that are being fooled into believing the opposite of his view of the Civil War. I ask that the editor please consider favoring the truth over opinion next time. Connor Sullivan is a freshman in philosophy and political science from Topeka.

Coming off a devastating 31-30 overtime loss to the Baylor Bears, the Jayhawks missed their best chance at taking a Big 12 game. It doesnt get any easier for Kansas now, with its two remaining games against Texas A&M and Missouri. Traveling to one of the best football stadiums in the country in Kyle Field, the Jayhawks will have their hands full. With Turner Gills future in question, the Kansas football team doesnt have anything going for it right now, and there will have to be an extreme reverse in fortune to come away with a win this week.

The Kansas offense showed some life for the first time in its last two games, after scoring 30-points against a lowly Baylor defense. After scoring 17 first-half points, the Jayhawks could only muster 7 in the second half, helping Kansas blow its 21-point, fourth quarter lead. The offense goes as the run game goes, so Kansas will have to hope for a big ground performance against a stout Texas A&M rush defense that ranks 20th in the nation. pos.

The Aggies will attack the Jayhawks with a balanced approach. They have two runners who are close to eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark this season, Cyrus Gray, who needs 49 more yards and Christine Michael, who is 101 yards away.

Currently the teams second leading tackler, junior safety Bradley McDougald has emerged as a defensive leader this season. Hes recorded double-digit tackles in the Jayhawks last three games all games in which Gill said the defense was a positive aspect.

Holding Baylor, the nations second best offense, to just threepoints in the games first three quarters is no small feat. But the Kansas defense still sits firmly in last place in the nation in points and yards allowed per game. Led Gray Tannehill by dual-threat, senior quarterback Ryan Tannehill and senior running back, Cyrus Gray, the Aggies have the sixth best offense in the nation. The defense will have to show its side that held Baylor to three-points for the first three quarters, and not the side that allowed 21-points in the fourth quarter. pos.

Sophomore punter Ronnie Doherty assumed the role of field goal kicker in the Baylor game, sinking a 37-yard attempt early for the Jayhawks first score.

The Jayhawks will face a heavy blitz from the Aggies front. If Jordan Webb can find the holes left by the blitz, he can make it a long day for the Aggies defense. The Aggies are tough in their run defense, but have allowed teams to score against them, allowing 31 points per game.

coachINg
At this point, Turner Gill cannot catch a break. His team took a 21-point lead into the fourth quarter and decided to hand the game over to its opponent. Mixed in with two questionable calls that changed the nature of the game, the ball just did not fall Gills way. Now 5-17 in his two years at Kansas, Gill and most of his staff could very easily not be returning to Lawrence next season.

Giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter and losing by one point in overtime to Baylor would normally be a crushing blow to any college football team.

babY jaY wILL cheeR If ...

The rushing attack has a successful day against A&Ms tough run defense. Freshman running back Darrian Miller had 147 rushing yards against Baylor and the Kansas offense scored the most it had in its last six games. If the environment at Kyle Field doesnt throw the team out of whack and the defense plays like it has the last two games, Kansas will once again have a shot to win its first Big 12 game of the season. A lot of ifs there.

babY jaY wILL weep If ...

The Jayhawks run offense gets stopped by the Aggie defense, forcing the Jayhawks into third and long situations that they do not convert. With the offense not moving, the Jayhawks will get run out of College Station faster than the Aggies can leave for the SEC.

With his uncertain future, this may be Gills last shot at getting a road win while hes at Kansas. While the Jayhawks last road game was a three-point loss to Iowa State, the next closest road game for Kansas was a 42-point, blowout loss at Georgia Tech suffered early in the season. Gill will have the chance to prove that Iowa State was no fluke if his team performs well. The only problem is that Kyle Field may be the toughest venue in the Big 12.

Can the Aggies hold a second half lead?

Three times this season the Aggies have entered the half with a double-digit lead and have gone on to lose the game. If the Jayhawks dont give up at halftime, despite what the scoreboard says, they could make it a fourth time.

Syracuse police look into coaching sex scandal

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Just two weeks after Penn State was rocked by a child sex-abuse scandal, ESPN reported Thursday that police were investigating an assistant basketball coach at Syracuse University on allegations of child molestation. Shortly afterward, Syracuse placed longtime assistant coach Bernie Fine on Fine (AP) administrative leave in light of the new allegations and the Syracuse City Police investigation, the school said. Sgt. Tom Connellan told The Post-Standard that police received information on the case Thursday but would not say who provided the information. ESPN reported that Fine is accused of molesting a former Syracuse ball boy, who is now 39. The alleged victim told ESPN the abuse occurred at Fines home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four. Fine is in his 35th season as an assistant to coach Jim Boeheim. Phone calls by The Associated Press to the police were not immediately returned. Associated Press

Editors note: Just to clarify this is a hypothetical situation and not an actual press conference.
hrongs of nosy know-it-alls who call themselves reporters lined the walls of a sweaty high school gym in a midwestern town that boasts only one star. His name is J.O. Gimpson and he is the infallible running back with legs chiseled by Zeus and a stiff-arm that could halt a freightliner. I want to thank everyone for coming today for J.O, Gimpson said in his usual thirdperson address. He sat behind a wide table topped with a cloth of his schools royal purple but his omnipotence couldnt hide. J.O.s got a hard decision today, Gimspon said, as reporters inched toward the table with ears agape and pens ready to dance. J.O. just wants to make the best choice for J.O.s family and J.O. Gimspon called a press conference to announce the school of his choice; an institution that would toss a full-ride scholarship at his feet so he could run over defenses with the schools name on the front of his jersey. The conference was televised on every sane

Before Mr. Gimpson makes his decision, the floor is open to questions, a media athletics comrade said. J.O., said a slimeball from a skyscraper paper. Whats the most important part of this decision? J.O. wants to get paid. Silence fell upon the sweaty high school gym. The once bustling reporters sat dumbfounded and afraid to speak up. A colossal reporter from the Opera Sporting News crashed to the floor with a falsetto bellow.

Then another reporter in the back of the gym challenged this view. Get paid, J.O.? College athletes shouldnt be paid. You will be a student-athlete next year, not a professional one. J.O. deserves the money for J.O.s family and J.O. The same reporter fired back. Shouldnt the money be for the school you choose? Why do you deserve it? A smile curled up on Gimpsons face before he responded to the questions. It was the same smile he snuck under his helmet for each of his 38 rushing touchdowns this past season. J.O. runs with the football, not you, your uncle or any athletic director, Gimpson said. J.O. fills up the stands with students and alumni. And because of J.O., those same alumni buy your stadium hot dogs and soda, then spill dollars on your floor so J.O. can run behind the finest blockers on a perfectly illuminated Astroturf Mecca. The crowd of reporters didnt know what to do except keep asking questions. Isnt this wrong J.O.? What makes you so special? said another reporter. J.O. knows how to run the football,

Gimpson said. Have you not been paying attention? Its gonna be J.O. on the cover of your video games. Below the name of your school, J.O.s number will sit on the front of your best-selling jersey. J.O. will be a fulltime student and a full-time football player at once. So wheres the paper? Gimpson reached for a hat, just one of the hats from whatever school, and fit it cleanly on his head. He would run all day, score and score as he always has, then get his money. Edited by Josh Kantor

Time to let go of the Morrii

COMMENTARY

bring on the noise

MiKe Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com Just 10 seconds into talking about the atmosphere at Texas A&Ms well-respected football stadium Kyle Field, Kansas offensive coordinator Chuck Long stopped himself. He shouted a simple request across the room to the director of football operations George Matsakis. By the way George, we need a noise-maker by Thursday, Long said. While the Jayhawks have used noise in practice before, they may have never had to use their machine like this. The Texas A&M fans refer to themselves as the 12th man. The words Home of the 12th Man are forever cemented into the stadium across its upper deck. When Turner Gill was an assistant coach at Nebraska, he was up in the press box to experience the famous event that occurs during every home game at Kyle Field. He said what he remembers about Kyle Field was the press box shaking during the Aggies chants and cheers. The widely reported story in College Station is that during the Texas A&M fight song, the Aggie War Hymn, the press box sways as each individual row of the crowd sways right and left, arm-in-arm, during portions of the song. And word has spread from the coaches to the Kansas players about the noise factor theyll be facing on Saturday. Senior defensive tackle Pat Dorsey, along with the majority of the Kansas team, has never been to Kyle Field before. Long said the atmosphere is one of the best in college football. Dorsey and the Jayahwks are well aware of the challenge ahead. Dorsey said that the team just has to be together and hold each other down in an environment like that. Being from Houston,

t some point during the Kansas mens basketball teams 75-65 loss to the No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday night, Markieff Morris had seen enough. No, not of the No. 14 Jayhawks, but of the tweets he was bombarded with during the teams first loss of the season. Stop wit the wish yall was playing tweets, Markieff wrote on his Twitter account, @keefmorris. We not playing just root our boys on keep faith. His twin brother Marcus is fed up, too. One more thing ... Lock out or no lock out WE STILL would have LEFT FOR THE DRAFT, Marcus tweeted on Monday from his account, @mookmorris2. The Morrii are right. To steal a line from Louisville Cardinals coach Rick Pitino, the Morris twins arent walking through that door, fans. And while they wouldnt exactly be gray and old if they did, its time for Kansas fans to move on. Because if their Twitter accounts are any indication, the Morris twins moved on a long, long time ago. Make no mistake, that doesnt soften the blow of their departure that many Kansas fans are obviously still trying to cope with. The fact that the Jayhawks were out-rebounded by lowly Towson in their season opener on Nov. 11 probably didnt help matters much either. And getting out-rebounded again by the a blatantly superior Kentucky squad on Tuesday had fans shoving each other over to get to the panic button. But its time to stop thinking about what could have been if the No. 13 and 14 picks in this years NBA draft stayed for just one more year. Trust me, as a Kansas City Chiefs follower, I can sympathize with fans who clamor for players no longer playing for the team. I wish Jamaal Charles was still around. I wish Eric Berry was still around. I wish Thomas Jones was still around. (OK, that last guy isnt hurt, but my point stands.) The Chiefs lost their best player on defense and on offense in the first two weeks of the season. The team has been an eyesore to watch ever since. But hopelessly wishing the players could pull a Lazarus and magically heal their seasonending injuries is foolish. And so is sending patronizing, 140-characters-or-less messages to two of the best basketball players in Kansas history. The Morris twins chose the uncertain waters of the No Basketball Association (NBA) over a senior season and a legitimate shot at a national championship at Kansas, and its time to respect that decision and stop harassing, chastising and begging the brothers about it. Desperation is a bad look for any fan base, especially for one as storied as Kansas. Edited by Mandy Matney

coach Turner Gill yells angrily at one of the referees for a bad call against Kansas during the game at Memorial Stadium last Saturday against Baylor. Kansas will travel to college Station, Texas this weekend to play Texas a&M.

Dorsey is well aware of the Aggies large fan base. On Saturday, hell be playing in a stadium that normally sells out at a capacity of 83,002. It ranks up there, playing in College Station, Dorsey said. Itll be a big deal for me. One player who witnessed a game at Kyle Field is senior center Jeremiah Hatch. Hatch traveled, but did not play against Texas A&M in 2007 because he was a redshirt his feshman year. In that game, the Jayhawks traveled to Kyle Field and beat the Aggies 19-11 for their first ever win in College Station. The game was played on national television at night and the environment is one that Hatch clearly remembers. It was a football atmosphere, its what you want, Hatch said. You couldnt hear anything. The Jayhawks have played in tough road environments on multiple occasions this season. Playing against Texas in Austin, Texas, Georgia Tech in Atlanta and Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., were not easy tasks. Kansas lost all three games by an average of 42.3 points per game. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb will have to be the leader for the Kansas offense on the field Saturday. Webb said hes heard that the stadium ranks equally with the other big venues in college football and that hes excited for the opportunity to play there. But while hes excited, he didnt seem the least bit concerned as the team has already seen it all 10 games into its season. Its just another thing for us, Webb said. Were going to have our crowd noise throughout the week. Were going to be prepared for it and the coaches are going to have us ready. Edited by Josh Kantor

Davis stays determined to get back on the court

Kathleen gier
kgier@kansan.com Carolyn Davis strips down to her spandex and climbs into the pool. As she prepares to work out on the underwater treadmill, a group of football players walk in. They exchange some awkward greetings, but Davis is determined to complete this workout and get one step closer to her return to the starting lineup. As the 6-foot-3 junior forward knows, you have to make some sacrifices for the sport you love. Davis was forced to work out at the Anderson Family Football Complex instead of the usual basketball facilities at the Anderson Strength Center across campus because the pools were too shallow. She said she is friends with many of the players, so it was not quite as uncomfortable as it would seem. After sitting out for a week to rest a stress fracture in her right foot, Davis returned to the Kansas womens basketball starting lineup for the second game of the season. Her minutes will be about how she feels. If it hurts, she is going to come out and we will shut her down, coach Bonnie Henrickson said of her Preseason All-Big 12 forward. Though she played slower and more hesitant than usual, Davis hit her stride with 14 points after shooting 5 of 7 from the field and a perfect 4 of 4 at the free throw line. She played only 18 minutes, but started and jumped the ball for the Jayhawks. It is a confidence builder because I wasnt feeling 100 percent and I wasnt fully confident about how I was gonna play because of stamina and running and stuff, so it was good to make some shots and get my confidence up, Davis said. Kansas now prepares for its first road contest against Wake Forest on Sunday. Sophomore guard Keena Mays played minimal minutes in exhibition and did not see any playing time in the first game because of struggles with Henrickson in practice. I told you I was more stubborn than Keena, Henrickson said. It is not about being right. It is about getting it right. Hopefully that was a message heard. Mays said she heard it loud and clear. I got it, she said. I want to play. With nine points and five rebounds in 19 minutes of play, Mays returned to the court to deliver sparks like two back-toback steal and layup possessions in the second half. It feels great. That is what I wanted the whole time, Mays said. We finally got on the same page and hopefully I get to stay in the game. Kansas seems to have found its rhythm with renewed energy and anticipation following the return of Davis and Mays. But in Davis absence, the team tapped into the potential of freshman forward Bunny Williams. Davis has been impressed with Williams early success in the program. Bunny works hard every day in practice, so I just know when she gets into the game that she is gonna continue to work hard, Davis said. She posts up really well and she is a really great finisher. The one factor that disrupted an otherwise impressive outing was the Jayhawks 25 turnovers. Henrickson said this has been a trend in practice and that the team has become antsy. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland said the team needs to slow down and focus. We just need to learn how to handle pressure, Sutherland said. They pressured us really hard. After the Wake Forest game, Kansas will have five days off before hosting the BTI Tip-Off Classic, which runs Nov. 25-27. Edited by Sarah Champ

Junior forward carolyn Davis puts up two points during the first half of the game wednesday night. Senior forward aishah Sutherland scored a total of 16 points for the team and junior forward carolyn Davis scored a total of 14 points for the 73-59 victory.
