A young man with wide, unfo-
cused eyes who was holding a
cup of beer bolted down an alley
behind a house as a Lawrence
police officers flashlight beam
followed him.
His girlfriend hissed his name
and told him to stop running.
Austin! Austin, get back here!
Get out of here! Go home!
the officer shouted to the running
man and to the small crowd that
was now scurrying from a bro-
ken-up house party.
The officer knew that some of
the young people fleeing the party
could be underage drinkers.
It was the weekend in Lawrence
and for some students that means
alcohol
Thats what it means for
Sheigh. Thursdays or Fridays, the
18-year-old freshman gathers up
his friends from their residence
halls and they all walk to The
Crossing.
Being underage never stops
them, Sheigh said. Employees
watch the door and sometimes
check IDs. But Sheigh never needs
to use a fake ID.
Even the cops know we drink,
he said. Everyone knows.
Its something most freshmen
find out quickly: Consuming
alcohol in Lawrence often doesnt
even require a fake ID. To prove it,
Sheigh pulls out his own drivers
license and holds a constantly full
cup of beer in his other hand.
He wont be 21 until 2008. His
friends Cole and Jess seem ner-
vous as Sheigh and others loudly
admit to being underage. The
Crossings employees are busy
elsewhere.
Aaron Blair, manager of The
Crossing, said the popular bar
had received at least 10 minor in
possession (MIP) citations from
Alcohol Beverage Control since
the semester began.
Blair said that The Crossing
wasnt supposed to serve patrons
who werent yet 21, but that under-
age drinkers inevitably slipped
through.
He said that when the bar
got busy, things got confusing.
Bartenders could serve a patron
of legitimate age, who could turn
around and give it to an underage
friend.
Or sometimes underage patrons
simply walk up and buy beer
themselves. Sheigh and his friends
usually do that, though they said
it was easy to get fake IDs if nec-
essary. The general chaos of a bar
on the weekend also helps savvy
underage drinkers slip in.
When I want beer, I can get
beer here, Sheigh said.
On Friday night, The Crossings
patio was stuffed with young
patrons. A marching pep band
stopped by after 10 p.m. to blast
cheering drinkers with rousing
anthems.
Eric, another 18-year-old fresh-
man, admitted to buying alcohol
at The Crossing, but he also said
venues like it were important to
the student community.

Everything was going well for
Michael Woody Woodring. He
had just opened The Bull, 1344
Tennessee St. It was opening day,
a Thursday in February. The sun
was shining and it was 70 degrees.
There was only one problem:
Nobody showed.
This isnt going to work out,
he said at the time.
But two hours after he turned
the neon signs on, the bar was
packed.
Woodring opened The Bull,
formerly Bullwinkles, after taking
control of the bar in mid-January.
He graduated from the University
of Kansas last December.
Brothers Jon and Paul Peach
and Phil Peck opened Pita Pit,
1011 Massachusetts St. on Jan.
20. Jon graduated from William
Jewell in 2001. Paul transferred
to Arizona State after attending
the University of Kansas for a
year. He graduated in 2004. Peck
graduated from ASU in 2003.
The three were sitting together
a couple summers ago, brain-
storming, trying to figure out
what to do with their lives, Jon
said. A Pita Pit had been suc-
cessful on the ASU campus.
After talking for a month about
opening a restaurant, the friends
went to a bank to discuss their
options.
Jon said they were rejected
by 25 banks and were told that
a majority of new restaurants
failed.
There was a point when this
wasnt going to happen, Jon said.
Paul made a final call to another
bank.
The banker believed in us, he
took us under his wing, Jon said.
The three secured the loan, but
there was some initial nervous-
ness about opening a business.
You graduate and youre try-
ing to figure yourself out, Jon
said. And we took on a $250,000
project.
Unlike the Pita Pit owners,
Woodring didnt have to struggle
to secure a loan to open The Bull.
He was eating lunch at The Wheel
when he overheard the owner,
Rob Farha, talking to someone
on the phone about Bullwinkles
being for sale. Woodring walked
outside and called his dad.

weeknights dont stop crowds fromgathering at The Crossing, 618W. 12th St., where they flled the deckTuesday night. The bar is popular among college students, including some who arent 21.
Aaron Blair, manager of The Crossing, said the bar has received at least 10 minor in possession citations since the beginning of the semester.

Four KU students appeared
on the cover of the September
issue of Veterans of Foreign Wars
magazine, but what spawned
from the photo shoot was an
idea for a group at the University
of Kansas called the Collegiate
Veterans Association.
Dan Parker, McPherson
sophomore, Evan Hoyt,
Neodesha sophomore, Charlie
House, Garnett junior, and Ben
Lockwood, Prince George, Va.,
junior, were all featured in an
article titled From Combat
to College: War Veterans on
Campus.
During the shoot, Parker and
Hoyt discussed how there was
no social support system for vet-
erans on campus. From there,
the University group, which was
approved recently by the Student
Involvement and Leadership
center, was born.
The club provides one voice
thats been missing on this cam-
pus for a long time, Parker, the
groups president, said. We are a
non-partisan group. We are not
pro-war, we are pro-veteran.
Parker said he wanted the club
to mobilize the veteran base, so it
could become active in protect-
ing veterans rights. The group
will help cut through red tape
and provide a central point of
contact, Hoyt, the groups vice
president, said.
Parker said the government
did not always keep its prom-
ises to veterans. For example,
Parker said the Montgomery GI
Bill, which is an educational and
financial benefit for veterans,
was not always paid on time, set-
ting some students back.
Parker also said that because
the U.S. department of Veterans
affairs, which hands out the GI
Bill, lacks enough resources, his
tuition isnt even close to cov-
ered. He said during the last
five years, the GI Bill had only
increased about 15 percent, a
minimal percentage compared to
the amount tuition has increased
at the University.

Five freshmen cast their lots
with Student Senate on Wednesday
after two days of elections.
Mason Heilman of Lawrence,
Adam McGonigle of Wichita,
Scott Toland of Iola, David Wilcox
of Manhattan and Alison Zeigler
of Los Banos, Phillipines, won the
spots set aside for freshmen after
a one-and-a-half week campaign
encompassing 33 candidates.
Andrew Payne, Garden
City senior and Student Senate
Executive Committee chairman,
said 2,702 votes were cast dur-
ing the voting period on Tuesday
and Wednesday. Each student is
allowed to vote for five candidates,
making the actual number of stu-
dents voting difficult to know,
though likely substantially less.
Payne estimated about 700 stu-
dents, or 15 percent of the fresh-
man class, voted. He said voter
turnout was similar to last years
freshmen elections.
Heilman studies political sci-
ence and education and is a mem-
ber of the Marching Jayhawks
and the First Baptist Student
Fellowship. He is interested in pol-
itics and hopes to pursue a career
in the field. He said he wanted to
make sure freshmen were aware
and informed of everything avail-
able to them.

ALLIANCE, Neb. Talk about
extra innings.
A baseball game that began
at 10 a.m. Saturday in Alliance
ended Sunday at 4:05 p.m.
Thats 30 hours and fve min-
utes between the frst pitch and
the fnal out.
Forty players, ranging in age
from 18 to 44, rotated in and out
of the 84-inning game in hopes
of setting a Guinness World
Record for the longest baseball
game.
The record stands at 25 hours,
set in Canada nearly three years
ago.
Alliance organizers tried to
beat the record last year, but
that game ended at 24 hours, 16
minutes.
This years game was won
by the Alliance Times-Herald
Dragons, which beat the WESTCO
Knights by a score of 120 to 114.
SUFFERN, N.Y. The dog
paddle will be the stroke of the

in Ramapo, N.Y., will be opened to

Canine swim day is an end-
of-summer tradition in the town
northwest of New York City. A
dip in the pool will cost resident
pooches fve dollars. Out-of-town
dogs or their owners will
have to pay $10.
The K-9 Pool Party benefts the
local Humane Society. Last year,
nearly 200 dogs got their paws
wet. Local ofcials say the retriev-
ers seem to enjoy it the most and
are always the frst dogs in the

ALLENTOWN, Pa. Imperfec-
tion can be valuable at least in
the world of stamp collecting.
Later this month, a 10-cent
stamp from the 1920s will go
up for auction at the Stamp
Center near Wilmington, Del.
The stamp carries the likeness of
President James Monroe, but its
the stamps border that makes it
unique. Instead of the usual 11
perforation holes, this stamp has
only 10 across the top due to a
production error.
Its the only known stamp like
it.
The owner, retired electrician
Charles Jacobs, could get as
much as $50,000 for the imper-
fect stamp.
MINNEAPOLIS Theres a
lot of Web activity at the new
Guthrie Theater no high-speed
connection needed.
These webs are being spun by
spiders outside a window high
on the side of the Guthries new
playhouse along the Mississippi
riverfront. The silky webs extend
four stories.
Were very aware of the spi-
ders, said Guthrie spokeswoman
Melodie Bahan. Its hard not to
notice them.
Bahan said Guthrie employ-
ees spotted the spiders about a
month ago.
Most stafers arent bothered
by the arachnids, but one stafer
is keeping them out of sight
by putting Post-it notes on the
window of her third-story ofce.
When the spiders move, so do the
Post-its, Bahan said.
An entomologist with the
University of Minnesota said
the Guthrie is in prime spider
territory. Jeff Hahn said spi-
ders are more plentiful near
water because thats where
their food source insects
often start out life as
aquatic larva.

City approves trafc

Pedestrians who risk crossing
busy intersections close to cam-
pus may fnd relief in the upcom-
ing months.
The Lawrence City Commission

On Red When Pedestrians are
Present sign at the intersection
of 19th and Tennessee Streets
Tuesday, 4-1, with Mayor Mike
Amyx in disagreement.
Amyx suggested completely
forbidding right turns on red at
the intersection.
Members of the trafc safety
commission said such a policy
would be hard to enforce late at
night and on weekends.
City Commissioner Sue Hack
said it was an important deci-
sion because the sign would force
drivers to look both ways at the
intersection.
Safety commission members
also cited the campus area of 21st
and Kentucky streets as a danger
to pedestrians because of the
streets lack of sidewalks.
The trafc safety commission
will meet again to review the re-
sults of the trial in approximately
four months.

Hoyt also pointed out another
problem. Because veterans are
given their current months money
at the beginning of the following
month, they have trouble paying
for things like books at the begin-
ning of each semester.
He said he wanted the KU book-
stores to offer a 90-day credit so
veterans could receive their books
on time, then pay for them after
the GI Bill arrives. He said that
Wichita State University had a sys-
tem like this in place and that he
would attempt to implement this
plan through the group.
Hoyt said he talked to several
veteran students who were inter-
ested in joining the group, which
is open to anyone regardless of
veteran status. About 15 people are
now interested, Hoyt said.
Joan Hahn, assistant registrar
at the University, said approxi-
mately 250 students attending the
University were eligible for veter-
ans benefits.

BEERWAH, Australia
Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin,
killed in a stingray attack this week,
knew the risks involved in his work
and often discussed the possibility
he might die doing it, his father said
Wednesday.
The 44-year-old star was being
filmed for a new TV program as he
swam with a stingray on the Great
Barrier Reef Monday when it lashed
out with its tail, plunging a poison-
ous barb into his chest. He died
within minutes.
In the first public comments by
Irwins family since the tragedy, Bob
Irwin, who started the wildlife park
that his son turned into a major
tourist attraction, said both were
aware of the inherent dangers of
their occupation.
Both of us over the years have
had some very close shaves and we
both approached it the same way, we
made jokes about it, he said. Thats
not to say we were careless. But we
treated it as part of the job. Nothing
to worry about really.
Thousands of fans have flocked
to Irwins Australia Zoo wildlife
park in Queensland state, creating a
shrine of flowers, candles and writ-
ten tributes. Stuffed animals poke
out from between flags of Australia,
the United States and England, and
some visitors signed and left khaki
shirts similar to those worn by Irwin
in lieu of a condolences book.
Bob Irwin, 66, thanked fans for
their messages of support and reas-
sured them his son had died doing
what he loved.
Queensland Premier Peter
Beattie has offered a state funeral,
and Prime Minister John Howard
said that would be appropriate,
calling Irwin a great ambassador
for Australia. But Bob Irwin said it
wouldnt be what Steve wanted.
Hes an ordinary guy, and he
wants to be remembered as an
ordinary bloke, he said. The state
funeral would be refused.
Michael Hornby, the head of
one of Irwins wildlife charities,
Wildlife Warriors, said the stars
wife, Terri Irwin, was consid-
ering the state funeral offer, but
Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio
later reported that she had decided
against it.
Hornby said Terri Irwin was
thinking about having a smaller,
private ceremony at an Outback
location and approving a separate
large event at a stadium in the state
capital, Brisbane.
He also urged people to be care-
ful in sending donations to Irwins
charities as a tribute, saying two or
three bogus Web sites had been set
up attempting to divert some of the
money.
Separately, Irwins manager and
close friend John Stainton said the
videotape showing him being fatally
stabbed should never be publicly
aired.
It should be destroyed, Stainton
told CNNs Larry King Live. He
said he has seen the footage and it
shows Irwin pulling the barb from
his chest in his last moments.
The tape is in the possession of
police as evidence for the coroner.
The Discovery Channel, which
produced and aired Irwins pro-
grams to a reported global audience
of more than 200 million, said it will
not show the footage.
Police have said there are no
suspicious circumstances in Irwins
death, and no decision has been
made about whether a coroner will
hold a formal inquest or simply
accept the police findings. No formal
cause of death has been announced.
Terri Irwin briefly addressed
park staff late Tuesday over a public

She was very choked up. It was
a very frail comment, Hornby told
The Associated Press Wednesday.
But she wanted to say to the staff
how grateful she was for their sup-
port and how much it meant to
her.
Bob Irwin said he had just spent
nearly a month with his sons family
on Cape York in tropical northern
Australia doing crocodile research.

Two suspects added to alleged plot, eight released
By DAVID STRINGER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON Authorities
charged two more suspects
Wednesday in an alleged plot to
blow up passenger-laden jetlin-
ers bound for the United States,
bringing to 17 the number formally
charged.
Three other suspects were
released. The five have been held
for nearly 28 days without being
charged the maximum length of
time allowed under Britains new
anti-terrorism laws.
Police said the two suspects,
Donald Douglas Stewart Whyte
and Muhammed Usman Saddique,
24, were charged with preparing an
act of terrorism.
The five suspects were rounded
up with about two dozen others
in raids on Aug. 9-10 into the
alleged plot to assemble and deto-
nate improvised explosives on
board as many as 10 U.S.-bound
planes carrying hundreds of pas-
sengers. Eight others have since
been released.
The purported attack would
have caused mass murder on an
unimaginable scale, police as said
they announced arrests in early
August leading to major ter-
ror alerts in the United States and
Britain, and causing major disrup-
tions to air travel.
Eleven suspects have been
charged with conspiracy to commit
murder and also with preparing
acts of terrorism.
Whyte and Saddique are also
charged with preparing terrorism
acts. Four others are charged with
lesser offenses, including withhold-
ing information about planned ter-
rorism.
Prosecutor Colin Gibbs told
a hearing at Londons Central
Criminal Court on Monday that
11 suspects facing the most seri-
ous charges would not be brought
to trial before 2008 as officials sift
through evidence from across the
world.
Investigators continue to study
evidence including alleged explo-
sive materials, computers, travel
and phone records and other docu-
ments, Gibbs said.
Peter Clarke, Londons chief
counterterrorism detective, has
disclosed that police seized hydro-
gen peroxide, bomb-making com-
ponents and six martyrdom videos
during searches of 70 homes, busi-
nesses, vehicles and open spaces,
including a stretch of woods in
High Wycombe.
British Home Secretary John
Reid has signaled he now intends
to seek parliamentary support to
extend the maximum detention
limit for people arrested on suspi-
cion of terrorism beyond 28 days.
Lawmakers agreed on the limit
last December, after Prime Minister
Tony Blair failed to persuade legis-
lators to agree to a 90-day deten-
tion period his first ever defeat
in Britains House of Commons.

Despite murky claims from
several Crossing employees,
no one under 21 can purchase
any type of alcohol in Kansas,
according to Kansas state law
and Alcoholic Beverage Control
director Tom Groneman.
Other bars in Lawrence have
also struggled with underage
drinking. The Hawk, 1430 Ohio
St., was cited for 43 MIPs from
2003 to 2005. Quintons, 615
Massachusetts St., was cited for
10 MIPs from 2004 to 2005 and
paid $10,000 in fines.
Groneman said the Board paid
close attention to Lawrence bars
because of the large population
of underage drinkers who came
to the University each year.
Kyle, a 19-year-old sopho-
more, said the majority of
underage KU students he knew
drank regularly. The best ways to
get away with it are to go to bars
with lax ID checks or to hit them
at busy times, he said.
Kyle paid $472 for a diversion
to get an MIP removed from his
permanent record after getting
caught at a house party that
Lawrence police broke up last
year. His friend David, sopho-

paid the same fee.
Kyle, David and their friend

hol was just a part of college
life.
Zak and David said they
enjoyed going out to a place

KANSAS CITY, Kan. A fed-
eral judges ruling that appeared
to allow a tribal casino to reopen
in downtown Kansas City, Kan., is
heading back to court.
The Justice Department said
Tuesday it will appeal U.S. District
Judge Julie Robinsons decision last
month that the National Indian
Gaming Commission erred when it
determined the Wyandotte Nation
of Oklahoma had no legal right to
operate the tiny casino in trailers
attached to an old Masonic lodge.
State authorities shut down the
7th Street Casino in 2004 following
the commissions decision, cart-
ing off more than 150 gambling
machines and $500,000 in cash.
The tribe hauled off the deterio-
rated trailers last year, leaving an
asphalt pad.
The commissioners determined
that the half-acre tract, purchased
in 1996, was not qualified for a
casino under federal rules prohib-
iting tribal casinos on land pur-
chased after 1988.
Robinson said the casino fit
through a loophole in those rules
because the tribe had bought
the land with money it received
through an Indian claims court
proceeding.
Kansas Attorney General Phill
Kline, city officials and other tribes
with Kansas casinos have appealed
other rulings connected to the
case, such as Robinsons decision
upholding the federal governments
land-trust action.

Jackson involved in child
custody case
LOS ANGELES Michael
Jackson must pay $60,000 in attor-
ney fees for his ex-wife as she
pursues a custody case against the
pop superstar, a judge ordered
Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge Robert
A. Schnider gave the entertainer
until Sept. 28 to meet the order. He
did not rule on whether to grant
Deborah Rowe visitation rights
to the couples children, Prince
Michael and Paris.
Rowe had sought $195,000
toward her attorney fees but
Schnider declined to award it, not-
ing that she had received an $8
million divorce settlement.
Marta Almli, an attorney for
Rowe, said after court that Jackson
stopped making the annual pay-
ments in the divorce settlement in
2003. He also sued Rowe in 2004
for allegedly breaching a confiden-
tiality agreement.
Rowe, a former nurse for
Jacksons dermatologist, married
him in 1996 but filed for divorce
in 1999 and later gave up custody
rights. She asked a judge to rein-
state them in 2003 after Jackson
had been arrested on child moles-
tation charges. He was acquitted
last year and now lives in Bahrain.
In February, a state appeals
court ruled that her parental rights
had not been properly relinquished
under the law.
Jackson also has a third child,

By AnnA FAltermeier
Melissa Nichols, Kansas City, Mo.,
junior, started smoking her junior
year of high school. Since then shes
tried to quit but hasnt been able to
go more than two weeks without a
cigarette.
Its addicting, Nichols said. You
just want one.
According to a new study, it may
be harder to quit today than ever
before.
The level of nicotine smokers
consume per cigarette rose 10 per-
cent in the last six years, according
to the Massachusetts Department
of Health. Higher levels of nicotine
make it easier for smokers to become
addicted and harder for them to
quit.
The study found that Marlboro,
Newport and Camel the three
most popular brands among young
smokers had increased most in
nicotine levels.
According to Abnormal
Psychology by David Holmes,
professor of psychology, nicotine
absorption into the blood increases
heart rate and blood pressure and
causes blood vessels to contract.
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms can
include irritability, nausea, dizziness,
headaches, increased appetite and
weight gain.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
smoking greatly increases the risk of
dying from lung cancer, developing
coronary heart disease, suffering a
stroke and developing several other
types of cancer.
Nichols said she realized smoking
was bad and wanted to quit smoking
some day.
Shes not alone. According to the
National Institute of Drug Abuse,
most smokers admit smoking is
harmful and want to quit but only
about six percent who try to quit
stop for more than a month.
Nicotine activates reward path-
ways in the brain and causes feelings
of pleasure.
Not everyone is upset about the
rise in nicotine levels. I think Im
getting more for my money, said
Amy Hughes, St. Paul, Minn., fresh-
man.
Tobacco cessation programs are
available through Student Health
Services. The Kansas Department
of Health and Environment oper-
ates a 24-hour Quitline, which offers
screening, counseling, support
materials and referral information
to quit smoking. The Quitline can be
reached at 1-866-KAN-STOP.

New site raises concerns
Note repository could be an excuse to skip class
By Kim lynch
Facebook now has a scholarly
twin at the University of Kansas: A
site called Noteswap.
Ryan Grush, founder and CEO
of Noteswap, said he hoped that
Noteswap would become the aca-
demic counterpart to Facebook.
As of Tuesday, KU students can
join Noteswap a site for sharing
lecture notes by registering at
noteswap.com with a KU e-mail
address.
Grush, a junior at Louisiana
State University, created Noteswap
after students who had left because
of Hurricane Katrina sent him
messages through Facebook ask-
ing for lecture notes. It was then
that a light bulb went off in my
head, Grush said, and Noteswap
was born.
The site was launched at
Louisiana State last November and
during the spring semester added
four more colleges. Grush expects
to admit more colleges soon.
Some new features, not yet
available, will allow users to cre-
ate profiles and post on message
boards for specific classes, Grush
said.
The site already allows users to
post lecture notes and rate pro-
fessors and notes. Students must
post notes in order to see other
students notes, he said.
Grush said he was also trying to
make Noteswap professor-friendly
so professors could use it as a com-
munication tool.
Grush said there was con-
cern that students would abuse
Noteswap by posting inappropri-
ate material. The site relies on its
users to report any problems, he
said. If users are reported to the
site, they receive a warning; repeat
offenders will be banned.
Another worry is that students
will substitute Noteswap for going
to class.
Megan Greene, assistant pro-
fessor of history, said she did not
think getting notes off of Noteswap
would encourage students to skip
class. The only concern she had
was the possibility of students
posting exams, Greene said.
Grush said he didnt want stu-
dents using Noteswap to go against
a universitys or professors poli-
cies. He said that the Web site
would rely on professors to report
any problems and that the com-
pany would deal with issues on a
case-by-case basis.
Tracy Russo, associate profes-
sor of communication studies, said
she thought Noteswap was risky
because it would be hard to know
if the notes were good or bad.
The only benefits she saw were
that a student who missed class
would be able to get notes and
a student could check a piece of
information against anothers
notes.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associ-
ate vice provost for student suc-
cess, said that lecture notes were
not reflective of what happened
in class and that students would
be shorting themselves by using
Noteswap instead of attending.
Virginia Heinen, Leavenworth
freshman, said students who didnt
make the effort to go to class prob-
ably wouldnt make the effort to
get the notes off of Noteswap. She
said she would use Noteswap only
if she got sick.

Business
Restaurant takes risk
Grush, a junior at Louisiana State
University, created Noteswap after
students who had left because of
Hurricane Katrina sent him messages
through Facebook asking for lecture
notes.
Deli moves to historically unfavorable downtown location
By JAcK Weinstein
Westside Deli and Market will
attempt to do what restaurants
before it have failed to do: Stay in
business at 811 New Hampshire St.
It opens at that location on Oct. 1.
Currently at 4931 W. 6th St.,
change locations after five years in
business to become the fourth res-
taurant at the New Hampshire loca-
tion during the past five years.
The move allows the deli to take
advantage of a bigger space and
to be in downtown Lawrence,
owner Michael Levy said.
The deli will change its
name to the New Hampshire
St. Bistro, and will feature an
expanded menu. The new loca-
tion will also include a bar that
will be open until 2 a.m. and
feature specials.
The space at 811 New
Hampshire, owned by Grubb
& Ellis|The Winbury Group,
was most recently occupied by
Krause Dining from 2005 to 2006
on a temporary basis while the
restaurant tried to work with the
city to solve a zoning problem at
its previous location. Before that,
Captain Ribmans Meat Market
occupied the building from 2003
to 2004 and The Blue Jacket was
there from 2001 to 2003. Prior
to being renovated for restaurant
use, the building was the home of
a flea market.
Despite the sites history with
short-lived restaurant stints, Levy
isnt concerned about the future of
his business.
Those were different entities
and different situations, he said.
Allison Vance Moore, a vice
president at Grubb & Ellis|The
Winbury Group, is the leasing
agent at the location. She said she
thought Westside Deli and Market
would be successful in its new
space.
I absolutely believe this restau-
rant is the right fit for this loca-
tion, she said.
operate from its current location
until Sept. 21.

Computer hardware problems
that led to the failure of the KU stu-
dent system in August have spurred
Information Services to invest more
in the computer systems so that the
same error does not occur again.
The student system includes
software used in enrollment, fee
payments, financial aid, recruiting
and admissions information, tran-
script records, grades, graduation
records and more. Allison Lopez,
s p o k e s wo ma n
for Information
Services, said that
when so many
people were using
the different func-
tions of the sys-
tem, the amount
of traffic outdid
the capacity.
The student
admi ni st rat i on
system, which includes Enroll and
Pay, was upgraded during the sum-
mer. During enrollment, the sys-
tem was still having problems with
capacity, causing slow performance.
Several factors, including some
hardware that was damaged during
the microburst in March, caused the
slowness in the system.
Lopez said the student system was
a series of about 10 different large
software modules that included mil-
lions of lines of code.
All of these modules serve differ-
ent functions, but all basically talk
to each other, so that each students
information is stored in one, huge
record, Lopez said.
The first ten days of the fall
semester are always the most taxing
on the system, she said. The crash
was unacceptable. That is not the
KU experience we want students to
have.
Terry Peterson, Overland Park
senior, works
in Anschutz
Library and
said that com-
plaints slowly
declined as the
semester pro-
gressed.
We were
getting a lot
of complaints
in the first few
weeks, he said. Mostly people were
having trouble accessing Blackboard
and Enroll and Pay.
Peterson said it was not unusual
for there to be a lot of problems at
the beginning of the semester, when
programmers try to adapt software
to students who are adjusting to it.
Its also rough when the time
comes around for a password
change, Peterson said.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of
student success, said though some
departments were still catching up
after Aug. 15, there hadnt been a
recurrence of the problems. Spring
enrollment, which is set to begin in
October, however, has the office pre-
paring for more slow-downs.
Our goal is that we never experi-
ence a similar failure, she said.

Like many students, Rebecca Blackburn, Fort Leavenworth sophomore, has experienced problems with KU online applications. At the beginning of the semester the surge of users logging on to
enroll was slowing the system, which didnt have the capacity to handle the number of users. As a transfer student, Blackburn said she has also had problems navigating Enroll and Pay. I knowit was worse
before, but its still kind of annoying,she said.
Our goal is that we never

Missing woman tells abduction story, eight years later
By VeROniKA OLeKsyn
AssOCiAteD PRess
VIENNA, Austria A young
woman abducted 8 1/2 years ago told
Austrian TV viewers Wednesday
of her anger and frustration that
she hadnt simply crossed the street
to avoid her kidnapper or gone
to school with her mother on the
morning she was seized.
Repeatedly shutting her still-sen-
sitive eyes against the glare of TV
lights, Natascha Kampusch, now 18,
recalled her first horrific minutes
inside the dingy, windowless cell
beneath her captors garage where
she was held for years.
The first time I didnt see the
cellar room at all because it was pitch
black. No lamp was screwed in. He
only brought that after several min-
utes or half an hour, Kampusch told
public broadcaster ORF in a tele-
vised interview that gave Austrians
their first glimpse of the young
woman whose abduction has riveted
a nation.
She recalled how she sometimes
threw water bottles at the wall in
frustration and despair and occa-
sionally also pounded it with her
fists.
I was very distressed and very
angry, and I was angry that I didnt
cross to the other side of the street
and that I didnt go to school with my
mother. It was awful, Kampusch said.
Kampusch bolted to freedom
Aug. 23 while her captor, Wolfgang
Priklopil, was distracted by a cell
phone call. The 44-year-old commu-
nications technician killed himself
within hours of her escape by jump-
ing in front of a commuter train.
The wheezing sound of a ventila-
tor that pumped air into her win-
dowless room was unbearable, she
said.
She said she would have gone
crazy if Priklopil had not occasion-
ally allowed her upstairs, although
those trips did not start until six
months after she was abducted from
the street as a freckle-faced 10-year-
old.
Earlier Wednesday, the weekly
magazine News and the mass-cir-
culation daily Kronen Zeitung pub-
lished separate interviews in which
Kampusch said she thought only
of escape during her entire ordeal
and had once tried to jump out of
Priklopils car.
When Priklopil took her out on
errands, he always wanted me to
walk in front of him, not behind
him, apparently to minimize the
chances of her escaping, she said.
Kampusch told the newspa-
per how she had tried to leap from
Priklopils car, but he held me back
and then sped away.
She did not specify when that
escape attempt occurred, saying only
that she felt it was much too risky
to try it again because she feared
Priklopil would kill her if she failed.
But she said that didnt stop her
from dreaming about beheading
him with an ax.
I always had the thought: Surely I
didnt come into the world so I could
be locked up and my life completely
ruined, Kampusch was quoted as
saying by News. I always felt like
a poor chicken in a hen house. You
saw on TV how small my cell was
it was a place to despair.
The magazine printed a large
color photograph of a pensive-look-
ing Kampusch on its cover, show-
ing her with piercing blue eyes and
a pink scarf covering part of her
strawberry blond hair. In the TV
interview, she wore a loose, glittery
purple blouse and the scarf.
Since her escape, Kampusch said
she slipped away incognito to enjoy
some ice cream.
It was nice to smile at people,
and no one recognized me, she said,
dabbing with a tissue at her eyes.
The magazine said it interviewed
Kampusch at Viennas General
Hospital, where a cardiologist exam-
ined her for possible heart trouble.
She said she had suffered during her
captivity from heart palpitations that
at times made her dizzy and blurred
her vision. It was unclear whether
she has been diagnosed with any
chronic problems.
Kampusch also said she often
did not get enough to eat. Another
Austrian magazine, Profil, had
reported that at the time of her
escape she weighed just 92 pounds
the same weight when she was
taken on March 2, 1998, while walk-
ing to school.
Kampusch called her escape
from her captors house in suburban
Strasshof completely spontaneous.
I was there behind the gate to the
garden and I felt dizzy. I realized for
the first time how weak I really was,
she said.
But Kampusch added that she felt
well enough physically, mentally
and no heart problems to make
a run for it.
Once she had run out onto the
street, I saw a window open and
someone busy in a kitchen, and I
asked the woman to call the police,
she said. At first, she said, the woman
refused to let her inside: She didnt
want me to step on her lawn.
ORF said Kampusch had decided
which questions to answer and had
refused to be asked anything inti-
mate. Police have said she may have
had sexual contact with her captor,
but have refused to elaborate.
Kampusch told News she regret-
ted that Priklopil committed suicide,
because he could have explained so
much more to me and to the police,
but added that she no longer wished
to talk about him.
She said she wants to complete her
high school education and is consid-
ering a range of possible careers,
including journalism, psychology,
acting and art, and that she has not
yet decided whether to write a book
about her ordeal.
Kampusch also told the magazine
she loved her parents, who divorced
after she was taken, and denied there
was any controversy. Psychologists
treating her have said she has been in
touch with her mother, but has not
asked for her father since they were
briefly reunited after her escape.
It was worse for them than it was
for me. They thought I was dead,
she said.

Ooh look, John wrote on
Suzies wall. Didnt they break
up? Oh man, Helgas spent a
lot of time updating her profile
lately
On Tuesday, facebook.com
launched a series of new features
that have turned every Facebook
user into a dreaded Facebook
stalker.
Now every time a user chang-
es something on Facebook,
whether its writing a message on
someones wall, adding favorite
quotes or adding a friend, it
is tracked for every Facebook
member to see. The site even
publishes when the changes were
made. Creepy.
Also, Facebook now tracks
stories, which show how a users
profile has changed over time. If
Josie switches her relationship
status to single, then switches
back to in a relationship with
Joe a day later, everyone can see
theyve had some problems. Sure,
you cant erase the past, but you
used to be able to ignore it on
Facebook.
What makes Facebook appeal-
ing, and separates it from blog
sites like MySpace and Xanga,
is that its not highly personal.
Rather than an online diary, its
a bulletin board where students
can post pictures, keep in touch
and create lists that are fun to
read but shed little light on the
users private life.
Facebook used to show only
the face users wanted people
to see. Change it back, Mark

have often overshadowed the true
goals of those who call themselves
feminists.
Judging groups based on the
actions of a few members rarely
leads to greater understanding.
Can you define, for example, the
entire religion of Christianity, based
solely on a fundamentalist sect or
individual? Islam? Any religion or
political belief for that matter, by
the behavior of a few extremists?
I am not criticizing extremists,
especially since I wouldnt have the
opportunities I do today were it not
for the actions of women extremists
in the past, and I am not defin-
ing what a feminist is in broad or
general terms, but I am going to tell
you about a dedicated and diverse
group of people on campus known
as the February Sisters.
The February Sisters Association
was founded by a group of
University women who took over a
campus building in 1972, demand-
ing equal resources for women on
campus. They called for hiring more
women in the University admin-
istration, the establishment of a
campus daycare and the creation of
a womens studies program, among
other things.
Their spirit of igniting change
lives on. The feminists of today
come from diverse majors, includ-
ing biology, business, computer
science and fine art. Many come
from different religious and ethnic
backgrounds, and vary in sexual
preference. The vast majority are
not lesbians, and do not hate men
in the slightest. Some of you might
be surprised to learn that feminists
arent always women, and that men,
both straight and gay, can be femi-
nists.
Despite the differences, all
University feminists share a com-
mon goal: to organize feminist
educational, political and cultural
events.
So what does that encompass?
First of all, during February, the
February Sisters Association coordi-
nates a series of concerts, speakers,
theatre productions, and perfor-
mances, including the popular
Vagina Monologues. These events
support domestic violence shelters
and other organizations for women.
If youre curious about what
else the organization has planned,
or if youre a closeted feminist who
thinks there are no battles left to
be fought, you should consider
attending the next February Sisters
Association meeting on September
21 at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Unions
Walnut Room, or e-mail februarysis-
tersassociation-owner@yahoogroups.
com for more information.
You might be more of a feminist
than you think. If you are a person
who cares about womens issues and
wants to help, then you can proudly
call yourself a feminist. An impor-
tant part of being a feminist is being
active, so enter with an open mind
and a desire to ignite change.

Feminism at KU
misunderstood,
continues to evolve
OUR VIEW COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
As hard as some may try, no one
will ever convince members of the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-
gender community to change their
sexual orientation. They will be here
today and in the future, just as they
have been in virtually every culture
since the beginning of time.
That being said, there are several
arguments often used against the
ever-popular issue of gay marriage
that need to be addressed. Because,
despite the fact that moral issues
such as gay marriage have become
the most common concerns in
politics, we cannot, and should not,
legislate morality.
One argument frequently used
to dispute gay marriage is that gays
are too promiscuous to be married.
This is an interesting proposition
because marriage is, in fact, a prom-
ise to remain loyal to one other per-
son. Thus, two men or women who
want to be married generally want
to have a monogamous relationship.
Another argument is that by
allowing LGBT couples to marry we
are opening the door for a number
of awkward arrangements. Imagine,
for example, a young man and a
goat. Unquestionably, this is an
awkward situation. But besides the
fact that the partnering of a young
man and a goat has never been a
common or natural human occur-
rence and is solely attributable to
severe mental issues, I say, why not
let the young man and the goat live
happily ever after, since surely no
woman in her right mind would
get along with this particular man
anyway?
The important point here is that
people have loved other people of
the same sex for quite a while, and
the idea that individuals might one
day be able to marry an animal or a
minor is quite an improbable story,
in which morality would not be the
sole concern.
A third argument bemoans the
tragedy of letting two men or two
women adopt a child. Children are
just so impressionable, so the argu-
ment goes, and having two mothers
or fathers must really confuse them.
Of course, there is an alterna-
tive to letting LGBT couples adopt,
keeping in mind that not all chil-
dren who need new families are
adopted. Children in need of loving
homes can reside in orphanages
(yes, they still exist) or bounce
between dozens of temporary foster
homes that can simulate love but
not stability. Unfortunately, many
children in these situations, particu-
larly older, damaged or less attrac-
tive children, will face problems
with homelessness or drug addic-
tion as they grow older.
In these cases, it is absurd to
outweigh the need for a stable lov-
ing environment with the need
for a traditional marriage environ-
ment, particularly since the latter
is not always normal or healthy.
According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, nearly 50 percent of all
marriages end in divorce; these
statistics are extremely damaging to
the emotional stability of our next
generation.
So what if we do give LGBT
couples the right to marry and have
families? On one hand, we might
set a better example of true love
and commitment for todays hetero-
sexual couples. And on the other,
we might just give others the right
to be miserable married couples as
well. If this is the case, then I think
we should be less stingy when it
comes to who we allow to marry.
Perhaps the most important rea-
son that gay marriage should not be
fought as a moral issue in the U.S.
is because our country was created
as a beacon of religious freedom,
and of freedom of choice without
persecution. If people choose not to
follow a specific religious denomi-
nation, that is their prerogative. If
they choose to be committed to a
member of the same sex, to love or
be miserable with that person, and
to provide a loving home for a child
who needs it, then this is also their
prerogative.
As for the issue of morality in the
U.S., I would suggest that we focus
on our own lives. Our countrys
marriage record could certainly use
improvement.

One heart, one way
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Beer cans
of all shapes and sizes, signs from
long-defunct brands and even busi-
ness cards from microbreweries were
among the items collectors sought as
they gathered this week for an event
dubbed the CANvention.
John Ahrens
recalls when
he was sucked
into beer-can
c o l l e c t i n g .
The 63-year-
old suburban
Phi l adel phi a
man, who was
among the
more than 800
people attend-
ing the 36th
annual con-
vention of the Brewery Collectibles
Club of America, was a student at
Yale University when his classmates
began lining a ledge with cans. The
CANvention started Wednesday and
goes through Saturday.
By graduation, Ahrens had 250
cans, and he kept adding to them.
The collection eventually grew to
include about 30,000 cans win-
ning him a spot for about 15 years
in The Guinness Book of World
Records.
Ahrens said he has since whittled
his collection down to about 2,000
cans.
Some things are unmanage-
able, the law book salesman said
Wednesday.
Many club members are profes-
sionals, including physicians and
pharmacists. They are visible from
the T-shirts they wear, toting the
wares of lesser-known brewers,
including Moose Drool, a product
of Big Sky Brewing Co. of Missoula,
Mont.
They come from across the coun-
try and the world, including Japan,
Germany, South America and New
Zealand. Some ship their cans in
advance, packing hotel elevators as
they haul boxes to their rooms and
the exhibition
space at the Hyatt
Regency Crown
Center just south
of Kansas City.
Each is hop-
ing to fill dif-
ferent gaps in
their collections.
Some are seek-
ing one beer can
from each coun-
try in the world.
Others specialize
in memorabilia from brewers from
specific cities or eras.
The group started in St. Louis in
1970, when about six people began
meeting to discuss their collections.
The first convention was held a year
later in a suburb of St. Louis.
The groups membership peaked at
about 10,500 later that decade and has
since shrunk to under 3,000. Many
members are nearing or well into
retirement. Only 24 are under 30.
Its the nature of our society, said
Rich La Susa, of Gold Canyon, Ariz.
Young people dont collect.
Member bylaws discourage sell-
ing memorabilia, though it still
occurs in the hotel rooms. Purists,
members explained, believe cans and
other collectibles should be traded
or given away.
In the main exhibition area,
members must trade to add to their
collections.
But in the past 10 or 15 years,
people started selling their cans, and
the prices they can fetch are grow-
ing. Marcia Butterbaugh, a former
president of the club, said one can
recently sold on the Internet auction
site eBay for $23,000.
Butterbaugh, 63, said the high-
dollar can was produced in the
1940s by Anheuser-Busch Cos. and
featured a cone-shaped top. But
Butterbaugh said many cans can still
be bought for about 50 cents.
She is one of the small number
of women in the group and special-
izes in flattop cans that had to be
punctured to free their contents. Her
husband, Craig Retchless, collects
specific types of signs.
Their collection is spread through-
out their home in Kearney. Even in
the bathrooms, Butterbaugh said.
Another longtime member, Lew
Cady, 69, of Denver, wrote Beer
Can Collecting, an out-of-print
book that profiles several early col-
lectors and features tips on restoring
dented and rusty cans. About 80,000
copies were sold.
He said the hobby can be cheap.
You can start a collection walk-
ing along a country road, he said.
One chapter of the group, the
Rusty Bunch, searches for cans at
former camp sites and along ravines
- sometimes using metal detectors.
Members of that branch are bringing
their extra cans to the convention.
They plan to dump their finds on the
ground Saturday and allow attendees
to dig through the rubble.
In between trading, convention-
goers also will tour Kansas Citys
Boulevard Brewing Co., which is
contributing beer to a tasting event
that will feature drinks from several
other smaller breweries.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind, is seen shortly after his capture during a raid in Pakistan March 1, 2003 in this
photo obtained by the Associated Press. In a speech fromthe White House Wednesday, President Bush announced 14 suspected terrorists who had
been held secretly in CIA custody including Sheikh Mohammed, have been transferred to the United States naval base at Guantanamo Bay.

President Bush reveals
secret overseas prisons
Locations undisclosed for security reasons
By DEB RIECHMANN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President
Bush on Wednesday acknowledged
for the first time that the CIA runs
secret prisons overseas and said
tough interrogation forced terrorist
leaders to reveal plots to attack the
United States and its allies.
Bush said 14 suspects includ-
ing the mastermind of the Sept. 11
attacks and architects of the 2000
bombing of the USS Cole and the
U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya
and Tanzania had been turned
over to the Defense Department
and moved to the U.S. detention
center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
for trial.
Bush said the CIA program has
helped us to
take potential
mass murderers
off the streets
before they were
able to kill.
R e l e a s i n g
i n f o r ma t i o n
declassified just
hours earlier,
Bush said the
capture of one
terrorist just
months after
the Sept. 11 attacks had led to the
capture of another and then anoth-
er, and had revealed planning for
attacks using airplanes, car bombs
and anthrax.
Nearing the fifth anniversary of
Sept. 11, Bush pressed Congress to
quickly pass administration-draft-
ed legislation authorizing the use
of military commissions for trials
of terror suspects. Legislation is
needed because the Supreme Court
in June said the administrations
plan for trying detainees in military
tribunals violated U.S. and interna-
tional law.
These are dangerous men with
unparalleled knowledge about ter-
rorist networks and their plans for
new attacks, Bush said, defend-
ing the CIA program he autho-
rized after the Sept. 11 attacks. The
security of our nation and the lives
of our citizens depend on our abil-
ity to learn what these terrorists
know.
The presidents speech, his third
in a recent series about the war on
terror, gave him an opportunity to
shore up his administrations cre-
dentials on national security two
months before congressional elec-
tions at a time when Americans are
growing weary of the war in Iraq.
Democrats, hoping to make the
elections a referendum on Bushs
policies in Iraq and the war on
terror, urged anew that Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld be
made to step down.
With the transfer of the 14 men
to Guantanamo, there currently are
no detainees being held by the CIA,
Bush said.
A senior administration official
said the CIA had detained fewer
than 100 suspected terrorists in the
history of the program.
Still, Bush said that having a
CIA program for questioning ter-
rorists will continue to be crucial to
getting lifesaving information.
Some Democrats and human
rights groups have said the CIAs
secret prison system did not allow
monitoring for abuses and they
hoped that it would be shut down.
The president declined to dis-
close the location or details of the
detainees confinement, or the
interrogation techniques.
I cannot describe the specific
methods used I think you under-
stand why,
Bush said in
the East Room
where families
of some of those
who died in the
Sept. 11 attacks
gathered to hear
his speech.
If I did, it
would help the
terrorists learn
how to resist
questioning, and to keep informa-
tion from us that we need to prevent
new attacks on our country. But I
can say the procedures were tough,
and they were safe, and lawful and
necessary.
Bush insisted that the detainees
were not tortured.
I want to be absolutely clear
with our people, and the world:
The United States does not torture,
Bush said. Its against our laws,
and its against our values. I have
not authorized it, and I will not
authorize it.
Bush said the information from
terrorists in CIA custody has played
a role in the capture or question-
ing of nearly every senior al-Qaida
member or associate detained by
the U.S. and its allies since the pro-
gram began.
He said they include Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed, the accused
Sept. 11 mastermind, as well as
Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged
would-be 9/11 hijacker, and Abu
Zubaydah, who was believed to be a
link between Osama bin Laden and
many al-Qaida cells.
Were it not for this program,
our intelligence community believes
that al-Qaida and its allies would
have succeeded in launching anoth-
er attack against the American
homeland, Bush said.
He said interrogators have suc-
ceeded in getting information that
has helped make photo identifi-
cations, pinpoint terrorist hiding
places, provide ways to make sense
of documents, identify voice record-
ings and understand the mean-
ing of terrorist communications,
al-Qaidas travel routes and hiding
places,
The administration had refused
until now to acknowledge the exis-
tence of CIA prisons. Bush said
he was going public because the
United States has largely completed
questioning the suspects, and also
because the CIA program had been
jeopardized by the Supreme Court
ruling.
Bush also laid out his proposal
for how trials for detainees should
be conducted, a plan he says ensures
fairness.
His proposed legislation was
hailed by some Senate leaders, but
other lawmakers said it would cur-
tails certain rights of terror sus-
pects.
Its important to remember these
defendants are not common crimi-
nals, said Senate Majority Whip
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Rather,
many are terrorists, sworn enemies
of the United States who would
gladly use any information to harm
us, and any opportunity to strike
us again.
However, Rep. Ike Skelton of
Missouri, senior Democrat on the
House Armed Services Committee,
said Congress was being pushed to
make a hasty decision on the plan
for special military trials.
Skelton questioned wheth-
er Bushs approach would meet
the requirements laid out by the
Supreme Court.
The proposal is likely to prompt
a showdown on the Senate floor
among Republicans. GOP moder-
ates John Warner, John McCain
and Lindsey Graham have drafted
a rival proposal.
Their version would guarantee
certain legal rights to defendants
common in military and civilian
courts that Bushs proposal omits,
including a defendants right to
access to all evidence used against
him.
Graham, R-S.C., said withhold-
ing evidence from an alleged war
criminal would set a dangerous
precedent other nations could fol-
low. Would I be comfortable with
(an American servicemember)
going to jail with evidence they
never saw? No, Graham said.
Also on Wednesday, the Pentagon
put out a new Army field manual
that spells out appropriate conduct
on issues including prisoner inter-
rogation. The manual applies to
all the armed services, but not the
CIA.
It bans torture and degrading
treatment of prisoners, for the first
time specifically mentioning forced
nakedness, hooding and other pro-
cedures that have become infamous
during the war on terror.

Face it, the sporting world is
obsessed with the extraordinary.
Shows like SportsCenter provide
a constant stream of home runs,
touchdowns and slam dunks.
Athletes enjoy making these
plays too, so it should come as no
surprise that senior Holly Gault is
relishing her new role as an attack-
ing midfielder, where she has rou-
tinely been making some offensive
highlights of her own.
I think its more fun, Gault said.
You get to score some goals.
Gault has successfully moved
from the defensive side of the ball
to the offensive side this year.
Analyzing Gaults move could
lead to the conclusion that Kansas
coach Mark Francis is crazy.
Gault was a first team All-
American and three-time All-Big
12 selection at her right back posi-
tion on defense. She also played as a
defender on the U.S. U-21 National
team.
But Francis had his reasons.
We felt like we had more depth
on defense, and we wanted to utilize
her attacking skills, Francis said.
Gaults offensive skills were
always apparent when she played
defender. She tied for second on the
team with four goals and six assists
last season even though she played
in the backfield.
The real indication of Gaults
ability to play up front came dur-
ing the Jayhawks spring exhibition
season.
She erupted with five goals and
two assists against Yale, in her sec-
ond career game at forward. The
game didnt count for the record
books, but if it had, her five goals
and 14 points would have shattered
the school records of three goals
and seven points.
We were just playing really well
as a team that day, Gault said. My
teammates were feeding me the ball
at the right times and I just had to
knock it in.
The forward experiment worked
in the spring, so Gault has stayed up
front this season. But instead of lin-
ing up as a forward, she is playing
attacking midfielder.
She already leads the team with
two assists and she scored her first
recorded goal against Saint Marys
last Sunday. The offense is currently
averaging 2.33 goals per game with
Gault up front, compared to 1.79
goals per game last season.
Holly is a dynamic player and
makes things happen, Francis said.
When she gets the ball and runs at
you, its kind of scary.

The KU volleyball team will
begin its toughest week of the
season tonight.
It might be the toughest
week of the century, coach Ray
Bechard joked.
Kansas (6-1) will face three
teams this week that made the
NCAA tournament last year:
Brigham Young, Arkansas and
Nebraska. BYU is ranked No.
16; Arkansas is a top-25 caliber
team according to Bechard; and
Nebraska is ranked No. 1. All are
currently undefeated.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, Kansas
begins the Jayhawk Classic at the
Horejsi Family Athletics Center
with its match against BYU.
Although the Jayhawks are off
to a decent start, Bechard said
Kansas needed to improve in
some areas.
He said he would like to see
improvement in Kansas serving
ace-to-error ratio as well as in
the initial line of defense, which
limits the number of kills against
the Jayhawks.
Theres a lot of little things
keeping us from being the team
that we need to be, Bechard
said.
Last weekend, BYU (6-0)
swept the BYU Molten Classic in
Provo, Utah, including an upset
victory against No. 4 Stanford.
It had to be a confidence
boost, Bechard said. Theyre
the most competitive team well
play to date.
Look for the Cougars Erica
Lott, junior right side hitter, who
was named MVP of the BYU
Molten Classic, to lead the team.
She was also named Mountain
West Player of the Week on
Monday.
In Jason Watsons first year as
head coach of BYU, he led the
team to a 24-5 record and an
NCAA tournament berth last
season.
Watson comes in with knowl-
edge about Kansas volleyball
because he was an assistant
coach at Kansas State in 2000
and 2001.
He is a highly respected
coach, Bechard said. He got
that program going after they
were going through some chang-
es last season and it appears
theyre headed for another great
season.

last season: Most goalposts torn
down by fans.
After the Jayhawks final three
home victories of the season in
2005, against Missouri, Nebraska
and Iowa State, the goalposts inside
Memorial Stadium went for a swim
in Potter Lake.
But thats not a distinction Jim
Marchiony, associate athletics direc-
tor, and the Athletics Department
is proud of and theyre taking a few
steps this year to ensure KU fans
celebrate victories from the stands
and not on the field.
Somebody could get killed or
seriously hurt, Marchiony said.
The department is trying to
send students this message at every
opportunity this year.
Before every home game a video
will play reminding students to
stay in the stands after the game.
The video has been sent to the Big
12 and will be shown before every
game if its approved by the Big 12.
Not only is the risk of injury
great when students rush the field,
but the damage also proves costly
for the Athletics Department.
A pair of goalposts cost $6,000
and last season the celebration
after the game against Nebraska
nearly cost the Jayhawks one of
their top players.
Former KU standout Charles
Gordon had to be helped off the
field by trainers after he was tram-
pled by fans following the Nebraska
victory.
How stupid is that for fans to
rush on the field and hurt a foot-
ball player? Marchiony asked.
Marchiony said several fans suf-
fered minor injuries and a KU
facilities worker came within a foot
of a goalpost landing on his head
during the on-field celebrations
last year.

In the past, Kansas has
struggled against BYU, with
an all-time record of 0-3. Most
recently, Kansas lost 3-1 at BYU
in 2005.
After BYU, Kansas will
take on Arkansas at 1 p.m. on
Saturday. Arkansas (6-0) comes
to Lawrence after winning the
Arkansas Invitational last week-
end, with three players named to
the all-tournament team.
Denitza Koleva, outside hit-
ter for the Razorbacks, leads the
team with 3.79 kills per game and
has recorded a double-double in
all six games.
Bechard said this weekend
would be a great opportunity
for fans to come see competitive
volleyball because two talented
teams are coming to Lawrence.
Fans in attendance will receive
Jayhawk volleyball schedule mag-
nets and posters.
After the Jayhawk Classic,
Kansas will play at No. 1 Nebraska
on Wednesday Sept. 13, then
host No. 7 Texas on Saturday
Sept. 16.

emily brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, spikes the ball towards UMKCs court during
the Aug 29 game at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Sometimes sports can be so
much more than just a game. They
can make us cheer, they can make
us cry, and they can make us forget
about our problems.
This was no more apparent than
nearly five years ago, following the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Remember Mike Piazza hitting
that home run in the eighth inning
during the first baseball game since
Sept. 11? That home run gave the
New York Mets the victory and gave
New York something to celebrate for
the first time in weeks. The stadium
erupted with cheers as he rounded
the bases and showed that America
was, in fact, ready for sports. We
used sports to help us mourn the
loss of thousands of lives.
Following the attacks, football
players ran out onto fields carrying
massive American flags as firefight-
ers and policemen watched.
Athletes werent the only heroes
at those sporting events; those
everyday people, whom wed taken
for granted, were our heroes too.
Former Chicago Cub Sammy
Sosa, born and raised in the
Dominican Republic, raced onto
Wrigley Field holding an American
flag. Sosa showed how much
America meant to him and it was
one of the kindest gestures ever
performed by an athlete.
Remember every ballpark in
the country singing God Bless
America during the seventh-
inning stretch? Tears rolled down
the cheeks of fans from Los Angeles
to New York.
For the first time probably ever,
America actually united behind the
New York Yankees in their drive
to the World Series. There were
the clutch home-runs that kept the
Yankees title hopes alive. There
were the great defensive plays, espe-
cially the one by Derek Jeter against
the Oakland As when he flipped
the ball to catcher Jorge Posada, to
get Jason Giambi at the plate, saving
a victory.
All of these great plays were
cheered by fans around the coun-
try. It didnt matter if you were a
fan of the St. Louis Cardinals or
even the Boston Red Sox. Everyone
thought the Yankees deserved to
win that year.
We were all united. Remember
when President Bush arrived at
Yankee Stadium during the World
Series to throw out the first pitch?
The crowd gave him a standing
ovation and the cheers were even
louder when he threw a perfect
strike. No one cared about politics
in that moment. Games later in the
season would stop during Bushs
speech declaring war on terrorism.
We used sports to show the ter-
rorists and the rest of the world that
we were not afraid. We crammed
into stadiums, filling them with
thousands of Americans, confident
an attack wouldnt happen.
The feeling of unity, unfortunate-
ly, has been lost. No one cheers for
the Yankees anymore. The scene of
thousands of fans waving American
flags at sporting events is also gone.
If President Bush were to arrive at a
stadium to throw out the first pitch,
there would not be raucous cheers,
there would be mixed feelings.
This weekend and especially
on Monday let us once again
unite as Americans. Let us remem-
ber why we are able to watch these
games: Because of those who are
enduring dangers abroad so we can
have freedom and safety at home.
Remember, we are all
Americans.

NEW YORK Her shots spar-
kling as much as her silver sneakers,
Maria Sharapova gritted her way to
yet another Grand Slam semifinal.
Sharapova defeated 27th-seeded
Tatiana Golovin 7-6 (4), 7-6 (0) in
a U.S. Open quarterfinal that lasted
more than two hours Wednesday
night, setting up a showdown with
No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo.
Shes the one to beat right now,
Sharapova said. I feel like I have
nothing to lose.
Sharapovas victory came in
straight sets, but it was anything but
easy. She played for long stretches,
even resorting to a left-handed shot
to keep a point going.
She was broken in each of her
first two service games, and fought
off two set points while trailing 6-5
in the opener. Then she overcame a
concentration lapse after a trainer
attended to Golovin for a big blister
on the bottom of her right foot, and
recovered again after getting broken
while serving for the match at 5-3 in
the second.
Sharapovas father, Yuri, kept a
close eye on all the proceedings. He
appeared to signal Sharapova at one
point by pulling a banana out of his
bag; shortly thereafter, she pulled
out a piece of fruit and ate it.
Is it a coincidence? Probably,
she said.
The first set alone lasted 1:18,
more than Mauresmos entire 6-
2, 6-3 victory over No. 12 Dinara
Safina. Sharapova ended any sus-
pense by shutting out Golovin in
the second tiebreaker.
I think I just kind of lost my
focus, Golovin said. She hit a cou-
ple of good shots and I was never
really able to get back into it.
The other semifinal will be No.
2 Justine Henin-Hardenne against
No. 19 Jelena Jankovic.
Henin-Hardenne beat Lindsay
Davenport 6-4, 6-4. Davenports
loss meant that for the first year in
the Open era, which began in 1968,
no American woman reached any
Grand Slam semifinal.
Davenport exited her 16th U.S.
Open with a quarterfinal loss to
Henin-Hardenne and a quick walk
off court. There was no on-court
interview. No glance around the
stadium. No moment of soaking
it all in. No opportunity for a pro-
longed Thank you and goodbye
from the fans of the sort many lav-
ished on Andre Agassi.
Then again, whos to say how
many more U.S. Opens are left for
Davenport? Shes certainly unsure.
Davenport, at 30 the oldest female
quarter-finalist, first broached the
possibility of retirement more than
two years ago, but she also knows
shes capable of playing well enough
to contend on tour. So she answered
simply, I dont know, when asked
whether shell be back at the Open.
I still feel like I would have beat-
en most players today, Davenport
said.
Henin-Hardenne won in a match
between two women who used to
be ranked No. 1 and have won this
tournament.
Im just out here still playing,
still trying to figure things out, still
enjoying it, still being successful,
the 10th-seeded Davenport said.

The last time the KU mens golf
team played in a tournament, it
left disappointed. The Jayhawks
finished eighth in the Big 12
Championship last spring and
were hurt by an all-around poor
showing in the final round.
If the last several weeks are
any indication, things have been
looking up for Kansas as it pre-
pares for the first tournament of
the fall season: The Rich Harvest
Farms Intercollegiate this weekend
in Sugar Grove, Ill. Coach Ross
Randall put his players through
eight rounds of qualifying in order
to establish a five-man lineup.
Randall was pleased with the
low scores and consistent results
the Jayhawks posted in the two
weeks of practice leading up to the
season opener.
We understand that we have a
lot of work to do, but we feel pretty
good about where we are right
now, Randall said.
Seniors Gary Woodland and
Tyler Docking have been the most
impressive during qualifying, com-
bining to shoot 79 under par in the
eight rounds.
Rounding out the line-up will
be senior Barrett Martens, sopho-
more Zach Pederson and freshman
Bobby Knowles, who will make his
first appearance this weekend as a
true freshman.
Freshmen dont usually play
but hes going to, which is great,
Randall said.
All of the Kansas players, how-
ever, will be equally inexperienced
on Rich Harvest Farms, the course
they will play this weekend. None
of them have played it yet. Rich
Harvest Farms is the same course
where the 2007 NCAA Regional
Tournament will be played, giving
the Jayhawks some experience that
could come in handy this spring.
The 12-team field is not excep-
tionally strong and could allow the
Jayhawks to come away with an
early season boost in confidence.
Kansas will be joined at the
tournament by three fellow Big 12
schools: Kansas State, Colorado
and Missouri.

There will be many parallels
between Kansas and Louisiana-
Monroe when the two schools meet
for the first time ever on Saturday.
Like Kansas, Louisiana-Monroe
is 1-0, has a quarterback making his
second collegiate start this week and
features new starters at nearly every
position on defense.
But the storylines run even deep-
er with these two schools.
Louisiana-Monroe coach Charlie
Weatherbie is a Kansas native. Born
in Sedan, Weatherbie graduated from
Fort Scott High School. Weatherbies
Warhawks will be reunited with
former Jayhawk quarterback Bill
Whittemore, who worked as a grad-
uate assistant for Louisiana-Monroe
last semester.
Whittemore, who is now a gradu-
ate assistant at Kansas, worked with
the Louisiana-Monroe defense,
but even with his insight he wont
be leading practices this week for
Kansas.
Its going to be the same week for
me as it was last week: Getting the
film ready, Whittemore said.
Against Alcorn State last week,
Louisiana-Monroe scored the final
14 points of the game on its way to
a 24-6 victory.
Leading the way for the Warhawks
was a defense that forced five turn-
overs. Senior safety Kevin Payne
caused one of the five turnovers with
an interception and also led the team
with seven tackles.
Louisiana-Monroes secondary
features all four starters from last
season, but the rest of the defense is
made up of first-year starters.
They have some really talent-
ed guys at the cornerback position
with good speed and good change
of direction, Kansas coach Mark
Mangino said. I also like their play
at the safety position, and their over-
all secondary is pretty decent.
Freshman linebacker Cardia
Jackson was second on the team
with five tackles and had one of
three fumble recoveries the defense
recorded.
Senior defensive end Christiaan
Cambridge led the defensive line
with four tackles, 2.5 of which were
for losses.
Overall, the defense held Alcorn
State to 40 rushing yards and 205
total yards of offense.
On defense, they are physical
up front and like to play physical
football, Mangino said. This will
be a much more physical game than
last week.
On offense, the Warhawks post-
ed 310 total yards with sophomore
quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster pro-
viding more than half of that total.
Much like Kansas freshman quar-
terback Kerry Meier, Lancaster is
a dual threat under center. While
Meier had 110 passing yards on eight
completions and 62 rushing yards,
Lancaster had 100 passing yards on
eight completions and 67 rushing
yards.
Hes got all the talent it takes
to get it done, Weatherbie said of
Lancaster. I think he will make a
ton of improvement from his first
game to his second game.
So, with all the similarities
between Louisiana-Monroe and
Kansas, the Warhawks carelessness
with the ball they had four turn-
overs compared to one for Kansas
could make all the difference.
Nevertheless, Kansas wont
underestimate the emotional boost
Louisiana-Monroe might get from
Weatherbies homecoming.
They are going to be ready to go
because this is a big game for them,
Mangino said. Coach Charlie
Weatherbie is coming home, so Im
sure it has extra meaning to him.

FREE TO THE PUBLIC
And at Minnesota-Morris last
year, a student was killed during a
postgame celebration.
The tradition of fans tearing
down the goalposts after an upset
is practiced across the country.
Its a tradition that is usually
reserved for fans of a team that has
pulled off a major upset. Shelby
Scholz, Atchison senior, said fans
werent thinking about the dangers
of rushing the field after a big vic-
tory.
Its real exciting for every fan
and its hard for people outside
to see how the students are, just
because theyre not there, Scholz
said. Theyre not in the moment.
Whether the Jayhawks three final
home victories last season were
upsets is up for debate. The victory
against Missouri was the third in a
row by Kansas. The Cornhuskers
were only 5-3 last year before the
Jayhawks defeated them 40-15, but,
it was Kansas first victory against
the Cornhuskers since 1968. Iowa
State was 7-3 when Kansas defeated
it to qualify for a bowl game.
But Marchiony and Scholz agreed
that they wouldnt have called any
of the three victories upsets.
We need to act like weve been
there before, Marchiony said. We
need to send the team a message
that we expect them to win. Every
time the students come on the field,
were telling the team, Hey, you just
won a game we didnt think you
could win.
KU Chief of Police Ralph Oliver
said that he didnt plan to increase
security and
that he wasnt
taking any
drastic mea-
sures this
year to pre-
vent students
from rush-
ing the field.
A l t h o u g h
Oliver couldnt
disclose his
departments
plan for deal-
ing with fans
who rush the
field, he had a
message to send to the students.
Its not a God-given student
right to tear down the goalpost,
Oliver said. It is illegal. It is crimi-
nal damage to property and it is
trespassing to come out of the
stands.
Oliver echoed Marchionys sen-
timents that KU students should
be used to winning home football
games. The team went undefeated
at Memorial Stadium last year.
Marchiony couldnt pinpoint one
game as a potential tearing-down-
of-the-goalposts game, although
he said he anticipated every game
being a problem until fans proved
otherwise. If Marchiony had his
way, the only
students on the
field would be
the student ath-
letes.
The way we
should celebrate
is the way we cel-
ebrate in Allen
Fi e l d h o u s e ,
M a r c h i o n y
said. We dont
have this prob-
lem in Allen
F i e l d h o u s e .
We just stay in
the stands and
scream and yell, sing the alma
mater with the band and go out
afterwards and have a good time.

Whats really scary is how Gault
can still influence the defense at
her new offensive position. The
midfield line might as well be
a force field when Gault is in
the game. She prevents opposing
attackers from moving the ball by
using her old defensive skills. Her
impenetrable play in the middle
is part of the reason the Jayhawks
opponents have been averaging
only seven shots per game.
One play during the second
half of the Furman game on
Friday, Aug. 25, showcased how
she could combine her attacking
and defending talents at her new
position.
Gault picked the ball clean
from a Paladin attacker at mid-
field and sprinted down the right
side of the field.
She weaved in and out of a
few defenders then flipped the
ball into the center of the box to
the trailing Lacey Novak, senior
forward. Novak easily scored
and Gault was credited with the
assist.
The early success of Gaults
midfield play makes it look like
shes been playing midfield for
her entire career but her progress
stems from the help of others.
Weve had great midfielders in
the past, Gault said. Just being
able to watch them has helped me
out a lot.
The season is still young but
Gault has helped lead her team to
a 2-1-0 record, with the only loss
coming against nationally ranked
California. Gault wants to guide
Kansas to a Big 12 Championship
and an NCAA Tournament berth
this season.
Each week gives us more
time to fine tune, she said. The
attacking side just comes with
experience.

ASSSOCIATED PRESS
RIVER FALLS, Wis. Their 23
new players represent only a frac-
tion of the big changes coming this
season to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gone from the NFLs most pro-
ductive offense of the past five
years are the head coach, offensive
coordinator, left tackle, running
back, fullback - and approach.
Anchored by those men, Kansas
City from 2001-2005 rolled up
more yards (30,470), scored more
touchdowns (262) and rushed for
more TDs (131) than any team in
the league.
There was the year they shat-
tered the NFL record with 398 first
downs, and the game they scored
eight touchdowns rushing.
Priest Holmes broke the NFLs
single-season record with 27 TDs
since surpassed by Seattles
Shaun Alexander. Tony Gonzalez
set the reception mark for tight
ends with 102.
But although they guzzled yard-
age and pigged out on points, Dick
Vermeils Chiefs never even caught
sight of the Super Bowl. Their only
playoff appearance was a 38-31 loss
to the Colts.
Now it will be more ball con-
trol. When holding a 10-point lead
midway through the fourth quar-
ter, the Chiefs will no longer be
chucking it Vermeil-style down the
field.
I anticipate if were playing
with a lead, were going to run the
ball more than we did last year and
not worry about continuing to try
and get a 17-point lead, new coach
Herman Edwards said.
You cant always go three-and-
out and put your defense back on
the field.
Even if Edwards were as devot-
ed to the offense-first, defense-
second philosophy as his predeces-
sor, winds of change would still
be gusting through Arrowhead
Stadium.
Imaginative Al Saunders is now
drawing up plays on cocktail nap-
kins for the Washington Redskins.
First-year offensive coordinator
Mike Solari, promoted from line
coach, admittedly lacks experience
in the nuanced passing game thats
been so key for KC.
Holmes is probably done. From
2001-05, he averaged more yards
from scrimmage (136) than any
other running back in the league.
But hes now listed as physically
unable to perform, and probably
headed for retirement.
His absence was expected. But
Willie Roaf s was not. The Chiefs
were 3-3 without their 11-time
Pro Bowl left tackle last year and
7-3 with him. His retirement on
the eve of training camp stunned
everybody.
Former Pro Bowler Kyle Turley,
trying to resurrect his career after a
two-year absence brought on by a
back injury, was signed to compete
at right tackle. But he was quick-
ly shifted into Roaf s spot while
everyone hopes for the best.
If Turleys back holds up and
he performs well, it will be one of
the great comeback stories of the
season. But slimmed down to 275
pounds, he looks awfully light try-
ing to beat back 325-pound defen-
sive ends.
Another key loss could be
former Pro Bowl fullback Tony
Richardson, a locker room leader
and one of the steadiest blocking
backs in the league.
There still are stars. Trent Green
is back for a sixth straight sea-
son after passing for more yards
(20,117) and touchdowns (111)
from 2001-05 than anybody but
Peyton Manning.
And hell be handing off to
Larry Johnson, who had a bril-
liant nine-game spree after Holmes
went out last year with neck and
spinal trauma.

New coach not KCs
only change to team
By ARNIE STAPLETON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Safety John Lynch
had a good feeling about this sea-
son when the Denver Broncos
gathered for the first time since
their fantastic flop in the AFC title
game at Invesco Field.
On a brilliant blue March morn-
ing, Lynch looked around the lock-
er room and almost everybody was
there for the start of the teams
offseason workout regimen.
That was an awesome sight,
Lynch said. I think we got better as
a team just by our personnel and by
the way we went about our work.
The Broncos simply couldnt
wait to get started on 2006 fol-
lowing their disheartening loss to
Pittsburgh in the conference cham-
pionship.
I was proud of this team
throughout the entire offseason
because theres a couple ways you
can respond to how devastated we
were after the Pittsburgh game,
and one is to go into the tank,
and right away, Lynch said. We
saw that wasnt the case because
our offseason program set, I think,
league records in terms of guys
being here.
Everybody was there except for
recalcitrant receiver Ashley Lelie,
who decided Denver wasnt ever
going to give him a shot at being
the primary option in the passing
game. So he got a new agent and
asked for a trade.
The Broncos eventually accom-
modated him, but not before he
agreed to pay the Broncos about
$1 million in fines and a prorated
portion of the signing bonus he got
in 2002.
They sent him to Atlanta last
month in a three-way trade that
could net Denver yet another first-
round pick from Washington.
Lelie led the league in yards
per catch the last two seasons. But
in newcomer Javon Walker, the
Broncos have a player who can go
over the middle much more adeptly,
which they figure will make them
more proficient on third downs
because defenses cant converge on
Rod Smith anymore.
Coming off a 13-3 season in
which quarterback Jake Plummer
played the best ball of his career
only to revert to his old ways and
turn the ball over four times in the
AFC championship the Broncos
sent a second-round pick to Green
Bay for Walker.
He missed the final 15 games
last season after tearing a ligament
in his right knee in the opener.
Walker quickly returned to form
in Denver, routinely making spec-
tacular, leaping grabs like he used
to with the Packers that were all the
rage in camp.
I think playing with Brett Favre
really helped him learn how to do
that, because he has the height and
athletic ability to go get those balls,
cornerback Champ Bailey said.
And Walker is determined to
show both his new team and his
old one that hes back to being the
player he was in 2004, when he
made the Pro Bowl.
New city, new atmosphere, he
said. And the old Javon Walker.
Last year, the Broncos tail-
back tandem was Mike Anderson
and Tatum Bell. They dumped
Anderson in a salary cap move, but
it appears Bell is still second on the
depth chart, this time to undraft-
ed rookie Mike Bell. The rookie
parlayed his head-turning training
camp into the starting job during
the preseason, something he hopes
to keep going when the Broncos
open at St. Louis on Sunday.
The Broncos also got rid of tight
end Jeb Putzier and pass rusher
Trevor Pryce in the offseason.
Fourth-year pros Stephen
Alexander and Nate Jackson, sec-
ond-round pick Tony Scheffler of
Western Michigan and free agent
Chad Mustard will vie for action
at tight end, a position that often
serves as the Broncos No. 3 receiv-
er.
When the Broncos jettisoned
Pryce, a nine-year starter at defen-
sive end, they knew exactly where
to go for another pass rusher:
Cleveland, where they landed
Kenard Lang.
In four separate transactions last
year, the Broncos signed former
Browns linemen Courtney Brown,
Gerard Warren, Ebenezer Ekuban
and Michael Myers, along with the
man who coached them, Andre
Patterson.
The Broncos hope their lat-
est Brownco will help them put
enough pressure on the passer with
their front four rotation that they
wont have to resort to heavy blitz-
ing to try to force turnovers.
All wasnt positive for Denver in
the offseason, however.
Plummer, who has first-round
draft pick Jay Cutler of Vanderbilt
looking over his shoulder, was cited
in a road rage incident while on
his way to give a $100,000 check
to charity.
Punter Todd Sauerbrun was sus-
pended for the first month of the
season for using the banned dietary
supplement ephedra.
Second-year pro Paul Ernster,
coming off surgery on his kicking
leg, will fill in during Sauerbruns
suspension.

COLUMBIA, Mo. It didnt take
long for the new and improved Will
Franklin to show himself.
Six plays into Missouris season-
opening 47-7 win over Murray State
Saturday, the junior wide receiver
took a short pass from quarterback
Chase Daniel, made a quick move
around the cornerback and ran
untouched 60 yards for a touch-
down.
Franklin also caught a 34-yard
scoring pass later in the game among
four catches for 138 yards. For team-
mates and coaches, it was an exten-
sion of what theyve seen from the
St. Louis native since the beginning
of preseason.
Franklin was second on the team
with 40 catches for 413 yards in 2005.
But there were still a few things he
needed to change before he could
turn into a consistent threat.
Im not going to say I was imma-
ture, he said. Just knowing that Im
going on the downhill of college, the
last two years, it was time to mature.
It wasnt a choice or an option. It was
time to be a leader for the younger
guys.
Franklin lost two mentors after
last season with the graduation of
quarterback Brad Smith and receiv-
er Sean Coffey. When senior Brad
Ekwerekwu was forced to miss the
first three weeks of fall camp after
undergoing an emergency appen-
dectomy, Franklin became, tempo-
rarily, the most experienced member
of the receiving corps.
Thats when the light went on
for Franklin, receivers coach Andy
Hill said, the realization that the
guys you looked up to, the guys
you counted on for motivation or
guidance and counsel are now gone.
You either accept the role or you shy
away from it. Hes done a good job of
accepting it.
Evidence of Franklins maturity
came in how he evaluated his perfor-
mance after the Murray State game.
He was critical of himself for two
drops that could have been touch-
downs.
I dont accept that as a good
performance I dropped two balls,
Franklin said. Next week, when I
get those opportunities again, Ill
make the best of them.
Coach Gary Pinkel was plen-
ty pleased with what he saw of
Franklin.
What you saw is what weve been
seeing all through spring and two-a-
days, Pinkel said.
Daniel, speaking at the teams
weekly news conference Monday,
said it is obvious Franklin wants to
be considered a dependable target.
There is just something a
sparkle in his eye or something
that tells you he really wants the
ball and he really wants to be a play-
maker in this offense, Daniel said.
Franklin has had other big games
in his career, including the 2005
opener when he caught eight passes
for 116 yards and a touchdown in
a 44-17 win over Arkansas State.
Coaches say the key is keeping it up.
Were shooting for consistency
every week, Hill said.

Marion Jones sprints on her way to placing second in the womens 100 metres at the IAAF Golden Gala Interna-
tional track meet, in Romes Olympic stadium, in this July 14, 2006 fle photo.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The backup drug test for sprinter
Marion Jones came back negative,
clearing the five-time Olympic med-
alist of doping allegations that have
dogged her for the past month, her
attorneys said Wednesday night.
I am absolutely ecstatic, Jones
said in a statement released by her
lawyers. I have always maintained
that I have never ever taken perfor-
mance enhancing drugs, and I am
pleased that a scientific process has
now demonstrated that fact.
Jones tested positive for the
banned endurance enhancer EPO on
June 23. She withdrew from a meet
in Switzerland hours before reports
of the test result were revealed.
The backup test, conducted at the
same UCLA lab using the same sam-
ple, came back negative, however,
meaning the 30-year-old sprinter has
been cleared of any wrongdoing. She
faced a minimum two-year ban.
I am anxious to get back on the
track, Jones said.
The statement, released by attor-
ney Rich Nichols, said the U.S. Anti-
Doping Agency informed Jones
that the test had come back nega-
tive. USADA does not comment
on active cases and never acknowl-
edged Jones positive A test.
USADA general counsel Travis
Tygart did not immediately return
messages left late Wednesday by
The Associated Press. U.S. Olympic
Committee spokesman Darryl
Seibel said the federation had no
comment on the news.
Questions have long been raised
about the reliability of EPO testing
in the past, and this negative B test
will spark further debate.
I believe there are issues with that
test, said Howard Jacobs, another
Jones attorney who has defended
several athletes on doping charges.
Its a difficult test. From what I saw
on the `A sample, it was questionable
as to whether it shouldve been called
a positive. I cant say I was shocked
that the `B came back negative based
on what the `A looked like.
As he has in the doping case
involving Tour de France winner
Floyd Landis, Jacobs derided the
leaking of positive tests. Doping
cases arent supposed to be made
public until they are resolved, but
most become public through the
media once a positive A test is
confirmed.

Nadal loses to 54-ranked Russian in upset U.S. Open mens match
By HOWARD FENDRICH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Rafael Nadals
shots were off the mark and, more
shockingly, even his boundless
energy seemed to fail him. After
one miss-hit, the man usually in
perpetual motion hunched over,
hands on knees, to catch his breath.
No. 2 Nadal and No. 1 Roger
Federer will not become the first
pair of men to meet in three con-
secutive Grand Slam finals during a
season: Nadal was upset in the U.S.
Open quarterfinals by 54th-ranked
Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-3, 5-7,
7-6 (5), 6-1 on Wednesday.
Unbelievable, Youzhny said. I
cannot believe I beat Rafa in four
sets.
He wasnt alone. After all, Youzhny
never before had been beyond the
fourth round of a major tourna-
ment. What was most remarkable
was the way Nadal, the two-time
French Open champion and this
years Wimbledon runner-up, suc-
cumbed at the end, hanging his head
at changeovers in the fourth set after
wasting a 5-4 lead in the tiebreaker.
I am trying to fight, but I
wasnt, Nadal said. I was not my
best in the fourth, no? I know I lost
a big opportunity. And after that,
Mikhail is playing unbelievable ...
all winners.
It was the biggest news on a busy
day following Tuesdays almost total
rainout. And its probably safe to say
that Youzhnys semifinal opponent
either Andy Roddick or Lleyton
Hewitt, two past Open champions
who were to meet later Wednesday
would be relieved not to have to
face Nadal.
On the other side of the mens
draw, the top-seeded Federer moved
into a quarterfinal against No. 5 James
Blake, both winning in straight sets.
That half s other quarterfinal will be
No. 7 Nikolay Davydenko against
No. 14 Tommy Haas.
If I play my best, then I dont
see any reason why I cant win. If
hes playing his best, then I can see a
reason why I might not win, but its
possible, said Blake, trying to reach
his first major semifinal. Hes lost
before. He is human.

sports 6B
By JOANN LOVIGLIO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA Rocky Balboa
or more specifically, a statue of the
Hollywood palooka, boxing gloves
raised in triumph is being restored
to a spot outside the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, the winner by a split
decision in a bout between fine art
and pop culture.
Despite complaints that the stat-
ue is piece of kitsch undeserving of
display near Renoirs and Monets,
the city Art Commission voted 6-2
Wednesday to move the 2,000-pound
bronze out of storage and put it
on a street-level pedestal near the
museum steps.
The steps were the setting for one
of the most famous scenes in Sylvester
Stallones 1976 movie Rocky and
have been a big tourist attraction ever
since, with visitors to Philadelphia
imitating the Italian Stallions sweat-
suited dash to the top. (Of course,
after bounding up the 72 steps and
pumping their fists in the air like
Rocky, the tourists often turn around
and leave without setting foot in the
museum.)
The 8-foot-6 Rocky is expected to
be on his granite pedestal in time for
a dedication ceremony Friday.
Were thrilled, said city
Commerce Director Stephanie
Naidoff. What more wonderful a
symbol of hard work and dedication
is there than Rocky?
The two commission members
who voted against the move, artist
Moe Brooker and University of the
Arts president Miguel Angel Corzo,
said the site was inappropriate.
Its not a work of art and ... it
doesnt belong there, said Brooker,
a professor at Moore College of Art
and Design. Rockys battle to the top
is a concept, it is an idea, and ideas
dont need justification in terms of
objects.
Corzo suggested that he might
resign from the commission over the
vote, saying that placing the pugi-
list near the museum goes against
the commissions desire to raise the
standards of the city.
He said the issue for him was not
whether the statue was art, pointing
out the debatable aesthetic value of
some of the Philadelphia museums
works for example, a porcelain
urinal by avant-garde artist Marcel
Duchamp. But he questioned wheth-
er Rocky deserved to be neighbors
with sculptures such as Rodins The
Thinker, which sits nearby on the
Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
But the majority of commission-
ers who approved the move said
Rocky has become synonymous with
Philadelphia.
This is not art as it has been
defined by aesthetic standards, said
commissioner Emanuel Kelly, who
scored the fight for Rocky. But in
terms of this as a cultural icon over
30 years, it has beared the test of
time.
The sculpture by A. Thomas
Schomberg was commissioned by
Stallone for a scene in Rocky III
(1982) and also appeared in Rocky
V (1990). After the third Rocky
installment, Stallone donated the
statue to the city and the real fight
began.
The statue was installed at the
top of the museum steps, but was
removed after just a few months
when museum officials and art afi-
cionados argued that it was merely a
movie prop and that its exaggerated
proportions and caricature would
sully the internationally renowned
museums image.
After much bobbing and weaving,
Rocky was moved to a spot at the citys
sports stadium complex in South
Philadelphia. It was moved again and
eventually warehoused after filming
began on the latest installment of
the saga, Rocky Balboa, which hits
theaters in December.
