Students could not pay tuition
for part of Tuesday because of a
temporary glitch with the new
software that monitors financial
information for the University of
Kansas.
The glitch has been attributed
to problems with the newest ver-
sion of PeopleSoft, which powers
many of the online services for the
University, that was implemented
during the summer. According to
the Bursars Office, students will
not be charged late fees for tuition
payments until Friday.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of
student success, said that the sys-
tem was slow because of a taxing
amount of activity.
PeopleSoft is used not only by
students but by faculty and staff as
well, she said. It was an issue of
capacity that caused the problem,
not the product itself.
The system has been functioning
since 6 p.m. Tuesday, but adminis-
trators and tech support personnel
are monitoring it to make sure
more problems do not arise.
This PeopleSoft/Oracle upgrade
of the Enroll and Pay system cost
the University $70,000. The new
version has been operational on the
KU campuses since early July.
The new software underwent
fine-tuning throughout the sum-
mer. This first week of the fall
semester, with the number of stu-
dents, faculty and staff suddenly
spiking from the comparatively low
usage during the summer, overly
stressed the new system.
Jeff Stocker, Leawood senior,
spent the afternoon trying to com-
plete the required registration for a
replacement KUID.
It was frustrating, he said. I
know the University is a bureau-
cracy, but they knew that this day
was coming and a server overload
should have been planned for.
Stocker spent two hours in lines
at the Bursars office and the KU
Card Center.
We are really disappointed that
we could not provide people with
the proper service, Roney said.
The University plans to upgrade
PeopleSoft again later this year.

About 300 students showed up
each day for the HAWK Link block
party on Tuesday and Take Over

were provided by the HAWK Link
program and coordinated by the
Office of Multicultural Affairs.
The events were

Many students moving to
Lawrence or just into a different
house or apartment are wonder-
ing why their mail is taking so
long to arrive.
Andy Garner, Liberal senior,
understood that it would take
some time before he started get-
ting mail at his new house, but
was surprised it took so long.
He ordered a memory card for
his Playstation 2, but the card did
not arrive until Monday. It was
postmarked July 31.
But hes not very concerned.
He hasnt even asked the post
office why his mail was taking so
long to be delivered.
The only thing I really need is
my credit card bill, and I can get
that online if I need to, he said.
Lawrence postmaster Judy
Raney said that the office had
received a lot of calls asking why
it was taking so long to receive
mail, but no serious complaints.
She said the delay was not the
local post offices fault. An inter-
nal problem occurred within the
national system that scans and
enters change of address requests,
she said.
Terry Penland, customer
relations manager with the U.S.
Postal Service, confirmed that
there was a small glitch within
the national system that added
to the delays. The glitch has since
been corrected.
Raney said that this was espe-
cially problematic now, with the
influx of students moving and
coming back to Lawrence.
There is no doubt that this is
the busiest time of year, Raney
said.
Raney said students not
knowing how to file a change of
address form was one of the post
offices biggest problems.

Students will no longer be able
to drop a class on the last day of
the semester because of a new
drop policy signed by Provost
Richard Lariviere on Aug. 14.
The new policy, created by
University Governance, will be
implemented for the fall semester
for all schools except the School
of Law. By the terms of the pol-
icy, a class can no longer be
dropped after the 60th day that
classes are in session. Previously,
a class could be dropped any
time before final exams.
That made it just too easy
to bail out of a class, Kathleen
McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice
provost for academic affairs,
said. If you slept through a test
or blew something, you could
really escape the consequences.
The new policy also changes
what will go on a students tran-
script during the second drop
period, which begins after the
15th day of classes. Students will
receive either a WP if they are
passing the class at the time of
the drop or a WF if they are
failing. Neither grade will count
toward the students grade point
average.
Its pretty much a common
nomenclature across universi-
ties, Marla Herron, associate
registrar, said of the new grades.
Under the previous policy, a
grade of W would appear on
the transcript regardless of the
students grade at the time of
the drop.
Administrators hope that the
change will encourage students
to decide earlier if a class is right
for them and possibly open up
spaces for students who werent
able to initially enroll in those
classes.
They need to really try to
plan ahead and get in the right
classes and stay in those classes,
Herron said.
The policy change is one result
of a report from the graduate
in four task force in September
2005. The report examined ways
in which the University could
increase the number of stu-
dents graduating in four years.

Small cups not a good idea
in a Texas city
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas Up-
set at unruly, drunken behavior,
the City Council didnt exactly ban
Jell-O shots it went after small
cups.
An ordinance passed Monday
does not specifcally address
alcoholic gelatin, but was crafted
to focus on containers of 5 fuid
ounces or less.
Concerns about rowdy tubers
downing shots and tossing the
cups into the Guadalupe and Co-
mal rivers spurred the ordinance.
Already this year, foating par-
ties provoked the City Council to
increase fnes for noise-ordinance
violations and to ban volume

as beer bongs.
The city already has two litter-

Wild boar on campus
leads woman to sue
FORT MYERS, Fla. A Florida
Gulf Coast University student is
suing the college for failing to
control wild boars on campus.
Donna Rodriguez, 52, said in a
lawsuit fled Monday that a wild
boar chased her on campus in
October 2004, causing her to fall
and sufer serious injuries, the
News-Press of Fort Myers reported.
The suit claims the school knew
the boars were a hazard and its
failure to control them resulted
in an unreasonably dangerous
condition.
Rodriguez is seeking more than
$15,000 in damages.
Thieves attempt to rob ATM
machines in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
Thieves tried to use a backhoe
to yank ATM machines from a bank
in northeast Malaysia but were
forced to abort their scheme when
the vehicles arm got stuck in the
building, a report said Wednesday.
Closed-circuit TV footage
showed one man sporting a
ski-mask and another wearing a
helmet tying two cash deposit
machines to a harness, the New
Straits Times said.
But they left empty-handed
because they couldnt maneuver
the backhoe through the banks
entrance and abandoned it there,
it said. Several gadgets and a knife
were found at the scene.

An Oliver Hall desk manager
found a small amount of marijuana
Sunday in the hall lobby during the
weekend move-in.
If the person who brought in
the drug had been caught and
convicted, he or she could have
been expelled from the University
and denied access to future federal
financial aid.
Desk manager Katelyn DePenning
didnt see who dropped the bag-
gie, which contained about a gram
of marijuana, according to the KU
Public Safety Office.
Officer Alissa Counley identi-
fied the drug and flushed it down
a womens restroom toilet in Oliver
with DePenning as witness, accord-
ing to Counleys report.
If an officer cant determine who
may have dropped an unattended
drug packet, then the investigat-
ing officer destroys the drugs and
the case is considered closed, said
Schuyler Bailey, University of Kansas
Public Safety Office spokesman.
Forty-five drug-related offenses
were reported by the KU Public
Safety Office in 2005. Marijuana
appears to be the most common
drug at the University, Bailey said.
Merely possessing a hallucino-
genic drug like marijuana could get a
student kicked out of the University
in addition to penalties under fed-
eral or Kansas state law.
The University can discipline
students and athletes caught with
drugs, including putting them on
non-academic probation if the situ-
ation warrants it, said Jane Tuttle,
assistant to the vice provost for stu-
dent success. She added that offend-
ers could be removed from student
housing as well.
Violating probation can lead to
being expelled.
Possessing drugs while employed
by the University is clear grounds
for dismissal, said Ola Faucher,
director of Human Resources and
Equal Opportunity.
Possession of illegal drugs is a
crime and also misconduct, but we
never dismiss people without hear-
ing their side of the story, Faucher
said.
The punishment might not end
there, though. Being caught with
even a small amount of marijuana
on University property is a Class A
misdemeanor and could result in
a year in state prison and a $2,500
fine.
Manufacturing or selling drugs
is far more serious; fines for manu-
facturing can reach $500,000 along
with up to 17 years in prison.

The University of Kansas Mount
Oread Scholars took their first
steps toward graduation Monday
by walking the opposite route grad-
uating students take in May.
Nearly 70 freshman wearing
matching white T-shirts that read
What goes up, must come down
hiked the Mount Oread hill to mir-
ror their goal of graduation. Only
158 freshmen are in the program.
During the 10th annual walk,
KU faculty members congratulated
the success of students previous
work and prepared them for the
work that lies ahead.
Youve all achieved academi-
cally, said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle,
associate vice provost for student
success. You are among the best
students that come to KU.
As members of the scholar pro-
gram, these freshman students
have chosen to embrace the chal-
lenges of college before their col-
lege careers have begun. Many felt
that the program would lead them
in the proper direction.
I have to maintain a high GPA
in the program, said Heather
Dietz, Hays freshman. Ill stay more
focused, and it looks good on a
rsum.
Led by the banner of the 2006
spring graduating class, students
began their trip from Memorial
Stadium by walking to the Rock
Chalk Cairn, home of the torch-
lighting ceremony used during
Traditions Night. Gathered around
the fire pit, faculty members read the
expectations and foundations of the
program. Students proceeded to the
entrance of the Campanile, where
Tuttle discussed the myths and tra-
ditions surrounding the Universitys
World War II monument.
Following a brief history of sev-
eral of the Universitys achievements,
monuments and distinguished his-
torical guests, Tuttle urged students
to positively influence the University
in their years ahead.
My challenge to you, is when you
leave this university, you leave it a
greater, stronger place, she said.

A new plan by Student Senate
will allow students at the University
of Kansas access to wireless Internet
from more spots on campus than
ever before.
Student body president Jason
Boots has been working with
Information Services and Network
and Telecommunications Services
to expand the availability of wire-
less Internet to approximately half
of campus buildings without it. The
expansion of a campus-wide wire-
less network was one of Boots cam-
paign platforms during last springs
Student Senate elections.
Academic classrooms will be the
first to receive wireless networks.
Second will be student lab areas
such as physics or chemistry labs.
Third will be common areas such as
the hallways in Budig Hall or meet-
ing rooms in the Burge Union.
The cost will be determined after
a survey reveals how much equip-
ment will be necessary.
In the next three weeks well get
a decent estimate, Boots said.
He added that by October there
would be a plan to expand wireless
zones to academic classrooms.
Aude Negrete, Lenexa junior, said
that during the school year she uses
wireless zones on campus an average
of three times a week. Negrete finds
the wireless zones helpful because
they make finishing her assign-
ments easier.
Negrete primarily uses the wire-
less zones at Watson and Anschutz
Libraries, but sometimes visits other
wireless zones such as coffee shops
for a change of scenery.
Negrete said that the libraries
were her first chioce, but that she
got tired of them and went else-
where.
Boots is still working to deter-
mine how to pay for the expan-
sion. Ideas include using depart-
mental funds and fees or student
tuition to pay for the new wireless
zones.
Negrete said she wasnt opposed
to paying for the wireless expan-
sion through tuition as long as the
amount were acceptable.
I would be willing to pay if it
was a reasonable amount. Negrete
said. Probably $70 or less.
As technology becomes more
wireless-capable, campus-wide
access is a necessary improve-
ment, Boots said.
This will do a lot for students,
Boots said. In two years, students
will be able to capitalize on the
infrastructure we already have in
place.

At a morning rehearsal of the
Marching Jayhawks, some people
grumble to themselves, others race
to their next starting positions with
admirable energy, but everyone does
his or her best to get through the
motions efficiently. At this point in
the day, the band has been practic-
ing marching formations for three
hours.
Through the heat and the fatigue
that accompanies marching, one
mans voice is heard calling out
instructions and coaxing the band
along: David Clemmer, the new
director of athletic bands and assis-
tant band director.
Clemmer took over this month,
succeeding James Hudson, who left
the University of Kansas to pursue a
job at Arizona State University.
My arrival has been full throt-
tle, Clemmer said. I jumped on the
saddle when I arrived.
Clemmer, who came from
Sam Houston State University
in Huntsville, Texas, has had to
learn many of the traditions at the
University of Kansas. He said they
were some of the greatest traditions
in college athletics and hopes to
build on them.
I was impressed with all the
many facets of school spirit and pag-
eantry, he said. My intent is not to
change any of that, but to strengthen
it. The pageantry that has always
been will always be.
He is working to create a unique
sound for the band, one that will
serve as its identity.
Hes very picky about how each
instrument sounds, said Aaron
Brizuela, a Killeene, Texas, graduate
assistant, who has known Clemmer
for six years. His concept of sound
production is really simple, but really
effective. I think the musicianship of
the ensemble is going to go up a lot
with Clemmer directing it.
In addition to improving on exist-
ing practices, Clemmer has added a
few traditions of his own. This year
the band will perform a pre-game
concert. The band will still march
down the hill, but it will stop at the
bottom to perform for fans before
heading into the stadium. Also new
this year, at the end of each rehears-
al, the band will play the fight song
as a way to end practice on an
enthusiastic note.
Hes very positive, said clari-
net section leader Meredith Allen,
Shawnee senior. He has definite
goals for us and he sees where hes
going with us. So far its been a lot
of fun.

New director marches toward a better band
By Mark vierthaler
The proposed Wakarusa Water
Reclamation facility faced a hurdle
as the city commission addressed
concerns with the facilitys location.
The facility, proposed to aid the
city of Lawrence as it approaches a
population of 150,000, has been dis-
cussed by the city commission for
the past several months. During a
special session at City Hall, the city
commission announced it would
recommend a location less than a
mile southeast of Lawrence.
The site is bordered by the
Wakarusa River. The closest resi-
dential neighborhoods include the
areas around Prairie Park in south-
east Lawrence.
Lisa Patterson, Lawrence com-
munications manager, said the larg-
est concerns were odor and the
environment. She said those invov-
led would take pains to make sure
there were no environmental infrac-
tions and no odor problems.
The city commission hired Black
& Veatch, an engineering, consult-
ing and construction company, to
design the new facility. According
to the companys proposal, the site is
recommended because no residents
require relocation, there are few
close neighbors, the floodway pro-
vides a natural buffer to the north
and east, prevailing winds minimize
the odor, the waste water will drain
downhill to the facility rather than
being pumped in and the site pro-
vides room for expansion.
The site also has no apparent
environmental issues, Patterson
said.
This is a facility that will be used
decades down the line, Patterson
said.
Initially, the facility will process 7
million gallons per day.
Patterson said the site could be
equipped to handle up to 50 million
gallons per day after expansion.
The sites proximity to homes
isnt an issue either, she said.
The current facility is less than
a mile from city hall, Patterson
said. I would encourage you to go
outside and take a big, deep breath.
With our current facility, there are
probably four, five, six days a year
where odor is a problem.
The city commission will receive
a list of public concerns, as well as
Black & Veatchs recommendation
within the next several commission
meetings. Patterson was unable to
put an exact deadline on when the
documents will come before the
commission.
Mike Amyx, Lawrence mayor,
said when the proposal came before
the city commission it would look
closely at the concerns of odor,
environment and residency.
Well make sure that site works
well, Amyx said. We need to make
sure we can serve as many future
residents as possible.

Twenty-three suspects held for alleged
plot to blow up trans-Atlantic jetliners
City council to hear proposal for location southeast of town, which could minimize odor concerns
By Matt MOOre
assOciateD press Writer
LONDON A district judge ruled
Wednesday that British investigators
had until next week to investigate
the suspects arrested in an alleged
plot to blow up as many as 10 trans-
Atlantic jetliners, saying they could
be kept in custody without charge.
It was the first major test of a new
terrorism law that allows suspects
to be held for as many as 28 days
without charge so investigators can
solidify their cases.
The hearing, which addressed
the cases of 23 suspects arrested
in Britains initial sweep last week,
was held behind closed doors and
attended only by the suspects law-
yers, investigators and government
officials.
Scotland Yard said that 21 of the
suspects could be detained for ques-
tioning through Aug. 23 and that
another two could be detained until
Aug. 21. No reason was given for the
difference in the length of time.
The final suspect, who was arrest-
ed Tuesday, was not involved in the
hearing, Scotland Yard said, adding
that he remained in police custody.
Experts say police could use near-
ly a month to complete a probe pri-
marily because of the complexity of
investigations into the alleged plot to
smuggle liquid explosives hidden in
hand luggage aboard flights.
Youve got laptops, you have to
bring in translators to translate all
the documents in there, and some-
times its inopportune to release all
your suspects particularly ter-
rorism suspects while all that is
being downloaded and translated,
said Cliff Knuckey, a retired police
detective who has worked on terror-
ism investigations.

Business minor makes its debut this fall
By AnnA FAltermeier
To the dismay of pro-life groups,
the Food and Drug Administration
is considering making the emer-
gency contraceptive drug Plan B
available without a prescription to
women 18 and older.
Plan B, also known as the morn-
ing-after pill, is an emergency
method of birth control used to
prevent pregnancy after unprotect-
ed sex or contraceptive failure. If
taken within three days after sex,
Plan B is about 89 percent effective
in preventing pregnancy, accord-
ing to Watkins Memorial Health
Center. The pill can be effective for
five days after sex, but effectiveness
decreases with time.
If Plan B is available over-the-
counter, women would not have to
visit the doctor for a prescription.
Kathy Guth, womens health
nurse practitioner at Watkins, said
Plan B would likely be available at
pharmacies like Target and Wal-
Mart if available over-the-coun-
ter. According to Watkins, Plan
B works differently depending on
where a woman is in her menstrual
cycle. The pill can stop the release
of an egg from the ovary, disrupt
fertilization by the sperm or pre-
vent a fertilized egg from implant-
ing in the lining of the uterus.
Controversy has surrounded the
drug since its development.
In May 2004, the FDA denied
Duramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.s
request to make Plan B a pre-
scription-only product for women
younger than 16 years of age and
a nonprescription product for
women 16 years and older.
The FDA said the company had
not yet provided adequate data
that the drug would be safe for
adolescent women without profes-
sional supervision.
Its not an abortion of any kind,
Guth said of Plan B. It just makes
the environment not suitable for a
pregnancy.
Campus groups have mixed feel-
ings about the news.
Katy Cortese of Students for Life,
called the drug an abortifacient, or
something that induces abortion.
Cortese said that the drug would
promote sexual promiscuity.
Cortese cited recent studies link-
ing birth control to some types of
cancer.
Studies are being conducted all
the time, but no link between Plan
B and cancer has been found. Nikki
Harrop, a member of the executive
board for Students for Reproductive
Rights, said she thought Plan B was a
better choice than abortion because
the drug eliminated the psychologi-
cal stress of waiting.
I hope it gets more acceptance
in a lot of anti-abortion groups as it
becomes more mainstream, Harrop
said.
If the drug is made available over
the counter, Harrop said she hoped
the legislation would be seen as a
victory for womens health and not
just for pro-choice groups.
Plan B can cause nausea, slight
headache and bloating, Guth said.
Plan B costs $20 including
the required pregnancy test at
Watkins and is covered by insurance
companies on a case-by-case basis.
A pregnancy test is required when-
ever Plan B is prescribed in case a
woman is pregnant from a previous
incident.
Guth is paying close attention to
the FDAs decision.
I think itll pass, she said. Its
always been brought up and then
theres always the controversy about
it, but now it seems like its closer.

For the first time, this semester
the School of Business is offering a
business minor. Enrollment num-
bers are currently low, but expected
to increase as more students learn
about the option.
Ted Boone, director of the busi-
ness minor program, estimated
that 50 students had enrolled in the
minor so far.
He said it was difficult to know
the exact numbers because one of the
classes, Survey of Accounting, was
not being offered this fall because
there were no teachers available. The
class will be offered in spring 2007.
Financial Accounting I
and Introduction to Business
Computing, classes which non-
majors can take, count for the minor
as well. Students could take those
classes for the minor or for other
purposes, which makes figuring
out an exact number of students in
the minor difficult, Boone said.
Lisa Bergeron, a lecturer with
the school, who is teaching the
Survey of Finance class for the
business minor, said she didnt
think many students knew about
the minor yet.
I found out about it in my
accounting class, Marco Griego,
Alma junior, said.
Currently only one section of
each class is being offered, but
Boone said more sections would
be added as the demand grew.
Bergeron said the pre-business
students she had talked to were
excited about the new option.
Griego said he was happy
about the minor because he had
wanted to major in business, but
had majored in sports manage-
ment instead. He said the busi-
ness minor gave him the chance
to revisit his original interest.
Boone said other univer-
sities that had business minor
programs had done well so he
thought it would be good for the
University.
The only potential problem for
students is that it may not count
toward the graduation require-
ments for other schools.
For example, in the School of
Journalism, the business minor
counts for elective credits only,
not graduation requirements.
Boone was unable to give a
list of which schools would be
affected.

AssoCIAtED PREss WRItER
YORK, Pa. President Bush
hopped on a Harley-Davidson at
a motorcycle factory Wednesday
as he made an election-year pitch
for Republican stewardship of the
economy.
The president was in Pennsylvania
to raise cash for a GOP hopeful in
the states gubernatorial campaign.
Cheers and applause erupted
inside the Harley-Davidson Inc.
vehicle operations plant here when
Bush straddled a high-end model
painted blue and white and revved
its engine again and again. Climbing
down, he ripped off blue-tinted safe-
ty glasses that he insisted made him
look like rock star Bono and jokingly
struck a pose intended to show a
hip side.
Im just looking so far, Bush said
during a tour of the plant where 3,200
employees work around the clock on
shiny motorcycles that move slowly
around the assembly floor on tracks.
Ill let Josh Bolten ride these things,
Bush said of his chief of staff, a
motorcycle enthusiast.
After the tour, Bush held a
round-table discussion with Harley-
Davidson workers about the econ-
omy, which has showed signs of
slowing. The president said he dis-
cussed with the workers the need for
government to open up markets for
U.S. products around the world.
The more Harleys sold in a place
like Vietnam or China or India, the
more likely that somebody is going
to be able to find work, Bush said.
An AP-Ipsos poll in early August
showed about 37 percent supported
Bushs handling of the economy. That
matches his lowest level in May 2006
and November 2005, but not that
different from the last few months.
Later, Bush flew by helicopter
to Lancaster to raise an estimated
$650,000 in much-needed cash for
former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn
Swann, who is carrying GOP hopes
for an upset over incumbent Gov. Ed
Rendell, a Democrat. Swann trails
Rendell in fundraising and in the
polls.
When Bush landed in Lancaster,
he was greeted by about four dozen
Amish men in straw hats and women
wearing traditional white head cov-
erings who were holding babies.
After being windblown by the presi-
dents helicopter, they rushed toward
him to shake his hand and pose for
pictures.
At the fundraiser, Bush said
Swann was running for governor for
the right reasons.
Hes had plenty of accolades. Just
ask the Dallas Cowboys, Bush said
of the football star. Hes not running
for his ego. Hes running because he
wants to serve the people of this state
and hes got a platform that makes a
lot of sense.
Swann, who was co-chair of the
Bush-Cheney campaigns African-
American steering committee in
2004, says hes not worried about
Bushs lukewarm popularity.

BOSTON Two fighter jets were
scrambled Wednesday to escort a
London-to-Washington flight to an
emergency landing in Boston after a
disturbance in which passengers said
a woman in a jogging suit paced up
and down the aisle, peppering her
incoherent mutterings with the word
Pakistan.
The federal official for Bostons
Logan International Airport said
there was no indication of terror-
ism, but passengers said they were
unnerved by the woman and by
the military response, just a week
after authorities in London said they
foiled a terror plot to blow up flights
to the U.S.
It was a harrowing two hours,
said Antony Nash, 31, who was on
his way home to San Diego and was
seated near the woman.
I noticed F-15s next to the plane.
I said, Oh my God. And then we
saw the emergency vehicles waiting
on the tarmac, Nash said.
Gov. Mitt Romney said the 59-
year-old woman was from Vermont
and became so claustrophobic and
upset that she needed to be restrained.
The FBI in Boston said the woman, a
U.S. citizen, was arrested on charges
of interfering with a flight crew.
Passengers said two plainclothes
men on board and flight attendants
ran up the aisle and tackled the
petite woman, slamming her into
the bathroom door, throwing her to
the ground and putting her in hand-
cuffs, passengers said.
The disturbance was enough of
a concern that the pilot declared
an emergency, which activated two
fighter jets to escort the plane into
Logan, said George Naccara, secu-
rity director for the Transportation
Security Administration for
Massachusetts airports.
Two F-15s were sent from Otis Air
National Guard Base on Cape Cod
to escort the airliner, said Master Sgt.
Anthony Hill, spokesman for the
North American Aerospace Defense
Command in Colorado Springs,
Colo. He said the fighter pilots can
intercept, shadow or escort commer-
cial aircraft and, if ordered, shoot
down an aircraft deemed to be a
threat.
State police and federal agencies
took control of the plane after it
landed.
Passengers were taken off the
plane, put on a bus and taken to a
terminal to be interviewed, Naccara
said. Their luggage was spread
out on the tarmac, where it was
rechecked by security officials and
trained dogs.
Joan Bartko, of Manassas, Va.,
said everyone on the plane did as
they were told.
It was sort of surreal, she said.
You just know the best thing to do
is stay calm.
Officials expected the pas-
sengers would be allowed onto
another flight to Washington later
Wednesday.
Nash said he noticed the wom-
ans oversized handbag appeared
to contain items such as lotion that
he believed should not have been
allowed on the plane since the
new safety regulations were put in
place after last weeks terror plot
revelations.
Romney said a search of the
womans bag turned up matches
and a gelatin-like substance, which
he did not define, but there was no
indication the items were related
to terrorism. Naccara said he did
not believe any items she was car-
rying were the cause of the emer-
gency.
An airport spokesman, Phil
Orlandella, previously confirmed
broadcast reports that the woman
was carrying Vaseline, a screw
driver and a note referring to al-
Qaida, but later backed off the
statement. Naccara said it was not
true.
The woman was to remain in
federal custody overnight and was
expected to be charged in a federal
criminal complaint early Thursday,
the U.S. attorney and FBI said in a
joint statement. The statement did
not elaborate on specific charges
expected, except to say there was
no evidence the incident was relat-
ed to terrorism.

BOULDER, Colo. A for-
mer schoolteacher was arrested
Wednesday in Thailand in the
slaying of 6-year-old beauty queen
JonBenet Ramsey a surprise
breakthrough in a lurid, decade-
old murder mystery that had cast
a cloud of suspicion over her par-
ents.
Ramsey family attorney Lin
Wood identified the suspect as
John Mark Karr, 41. Federal offi-
cials, speaking on condition of
anonymity, confirmed the name,
and one law enforcement official
told The Associated Press that
Boulder police had tracked him
down online.
Wood said the arrest vindicated
JonBenets parents, John and Patsy
Ramsey. Patsy Ramsey died of
ovarian cancer June 24.
John and Patsy lived their lives
knowing they were innocent, try-
ing to raise a son despite the furor
around them, Lin Wood said. The
story of this family is a story of
courage, and story of an American
injustice and tragedy that ultimately
people will have to look back on and
hopefully learn from.
The attorney said the Ramseys
learned about the suspect a least a
month before Patsy Ramseys death.
Its been a very long 10 years, and
Im just sorry Patsy isnt here for me
to hug her neck, Wood said.
Karr was a teacher who once lived
in Conyers, Ga., according to Wood.
The attorney said the Ramseys gave
police information about Karr before
he was identified as a suspect.
Wood would not say how the
Ramseys knew Karr. But JonBenet
was born in Atlanta in 1990, and the
Ramseys lived in the Atlanta sub-
urb of Dunwoody for several years
before moving to Colorado in 1991.
A source close to the investigation
said Karr confessed to elements of
the crime. Also, a law enforcement
source, speaking on condition of
anonymity, told the AP that Karr
had been communicating periodi-
cally with somebody in Boulder who
had been following the case and
cooperating with law enforcement
officials.
District Attorney Mary Lacy said
the arrest followed several months of
work, but she said no details would
be released until Thursday.
U.S. authorities said Karr was
being held in Bangkok on unrelated
sex charges, but Thai police Lt. Gen.
Suwat Tumrongsiskul said he was
unaware of any criminal charges the
suspect faced in Thailand.
Karr was arrested in his apart-
ment in downtown Bangkok at the
request of U.S. officials, and was
being held until they arrived in the
country, Thai police said. Suwat said
he expected U.S. officials to bring
Karr back to America soon.

It could be the end of the world
as we know it if we dont act quickly.
We need to reduce emissions
worldwide by 60 percent to slow
down the process of global warm-
ing, according to John Whitelegg,
professor of sustainable develop-
ment at the University of York, in a
recent BBC article.
To understand exactly how
significant a task this is, take the
Kyoto Protocol into consideration.
It is the United Nations measure to
lower emissions of greenhouse gases
by obligating the 146 nations that
signed it to reduce their emissions
of six greenhouse gases by an aver-
age of 5.2 percent below their 1990
levels by 2012.
In Al Gores documentary, An
Inconvenient Truth, scientists are
in agreement that global warming
is an issue and we are affecting it.
Global warming is the increase of
temperature caused by the release
of greenhouse gases such as carbon
dioxide. These gases are thickening
the earths atmosphere, thus trap-
ping infrared radiation and increas-
ing temperatures globally.
Global warming has caused the
Atlantic Ice Cap to decrease by 40
percent in 40 years; within 50 more
it could be completely melted. It
has also allowed 30 new diseases
to come into existence in the past
25 years, and others, such as West
Nile, to resurface, according to the
documentary.
Americans account for 25 per-
cent of the worlds emissions with
only 4 percent of the population.
We are not part of the Kyoto proto-
col and have actually increased our
emissions by 15 percent since 1990,
according to another recent BBC
article.
If we as a nation insisted upon
zero percent emission, as lofty as it
may sound by todays standards, we
could reduce the worldwide output
by one-fourth and put the world
considerably closer to the necessary
decrease of 60 percent.
When aerosol sprays were affect-
ing the ozone layer, the Clean Air
Act was amended in 1990 and
Congress created a plan to mod-
erate or stop production of such
chemicals. We need to create a zero
tolerance plan now for greenhouse
gas emissions.
Scientists warned that Hurricane
Katrina could be disastrous. If we
had listened to them, 1,070 lives
could have been saved. We need
to learn from our mistake. The
scientists are warning us again. Ice
masses will melt. Land masses will
be submerged underwater. Species
will become extinct.
To make headway on reducing
worldwide emissions by 60 percent,
we need to act now and act boldly.
After reviewing a study of 52 cli-
mate models looking at the effect of
greenhouse gases, Richard Betts of
the Met Offices Hadley Centre for
Climate Prediction and Research
came to this conclusion, according
to the BBC: If we wait for the per-
fect model we will be too late.
First, stay informed and talk
about this issue with others.
Second, learn how you can support
non-profit organizations such as
American Council for an Energy-
Efficient Economy, even if just by
going to their Web sites and learn-
ing how to save energy in your
home.
Also, stay updated on such
conferences as the one that drew
40 scientists in July to the Kansas
Geological Survey on West Campus
to discuss carbon dioxide sequestra-
tion the removal of carbon diox-
ide from the atmosphere by moving
it underground.
Our actions have affected the
world that we live in. Winston
Churchill was onto something when
he said The era of procrastination,
of half-measures, of soothing and
baffling expedients, of delays, is
coming to a close. In its place we are
entering a period of consequences.
The truth is scary.
Hughes is a St. Louis senior in
journalism.
Few things are more exciting
than the start of a new semes-
ter during an election cycle. Te
campus political parties kick into
high gear, students join campaigns
for meaningful ofce, and the entire
University engages in good-natured
debates on public policy.
Well, scratch that last one.
Nothing heats up the political
junkie quite like an argument about
the merits of afrmative action, the
constitutionality of gun control, or
the possible efects of a universal
health care system. Were willing
to tolerate people who believe in
diferent deities or hail from difer-
ent ethnic backgrounds, but if we
have diferent opinions on whether
tax dollars should support an art
museum, it might get ugly.
As I say this, I recognize that I
take these political disagreements
just as seriously as anyone else. I
recognize the ridiculousness of
getting so riled up about people
disagreeing with my view on the
federal minimum wage, but I do it
anyway, and I dont intend to stop.
What I do intend to do, however,
is to clarify some of these public
policy debates well all be exposed to
on these pages in Te Kansan, in the
classroom, and in bumper sticker
slogans chalked on campus side-
walks. In my experience, the debates
on this campus are largely one-
sided. Tis is a liberal campus in a
historically liberal town; we have a
liberal student body and most of our
professors are liberal.
In principle, theres nothing
wrong with any of that. Te problem
comes when the political debate
heats up and the conservative side
of the argument is flled in by a
liberal-leaning student or professor
on campus, as happens quite ofen.
Because most students here are very
rarely exposed to a well-articulated
conservative argument on an issue
they feel strongly about, they fail to
grasp the logic behind the conserva-
tive point of view. As such, they of-
ten assume that conservative views
are either illogical or grounded in
intolerance and selfshness.
Tis leads to fallacious explana-
tions of conservatism. It is explained
to us that conservatives oppose
welfare and universal health care be-
cause rich conservatives dislike the
poor and would rather keep their
money. Conservatives oppose rais-
ing the minimum wage because rich
conservatives do not want to pay
their workers more and take home
less themselves. Conservatives op-
pose abortion because conservatives
support the continued oppression of
women. And the list goes on.
Te funny part is that the list
of positions I just described seems
ridiculous to me, yet I know a lot
of students at this university and at
other universities across the country
that would have nodded their heads
in agreement at that logic. Tey see
conservatives as either greedy, bigot-
ed, or both. Any moral, economic or
logical explanation is just a cover for
that greed and hatred. And so the
conservative position is discounted
and mocked, and campus debate is a
liberals-only afair.
Tis semester, I hope to give a
perspective to which this campus
and this newspaper are much too
rarely exposed. I want to analyze
current events and time-honored
controversial political issues from a
right-leaning perspective, so that the
word conservative might refer to
a viable political perspective rather
than an ideological slur to reference
backwards-thinking peoples. At the
very least, I hope to give those fery
political debates were all anxiously
awaiting a second point of view
so that our intentions might be
better understood and our political
debates might be a bit more good-
natured.

cal science and economics.

myers: Think conservatives are a bunch of greedy, big-

KU. But guess what? Conservative is not a dirty word.
hughes: Yes, youve heard it before (and probably
ignored it). But if we dont do something drastic, and
soon, about global warming, the future looks bleak.

Te planned addition of 70
new ofces to the patio on Wes-
coe Halls south side is the most
recent in a series of bad decisions
concerning the unattractive and
possibly unsafe edifce.
Te original blunder was the
construction of the building.
Named afer the late W. Clarke
Wescoe, dean and chancellor of
the University in the 1950s and
60s, Wescoe Hall sits on the for-
mer site of Robinson Gymnasi-
um, where basketball was played
and lectures were given.
Wescoe could look worse. In
1967, KU alumni Art Woodman
and Claude Van Doren designed
a 25-story, 270,000-square-foot
humanities building. But the
University lacked the funding for
both the $5.8-million skyscraper
and a scaled-down 15-story ver-
sion in 1968.
In 1970, another architecture
frm designed a building like the
current Wescoe Hall, which in-
cluded a smaller tower and two
levels for parking. Lack of fund-
ing became an issue again, so of-
fces were substituted for parking
spaces before its completion in
1974.
Te Universitys latest building
project, referred to as the Wescoe
Infll, presents several concerns.
Te University has begun to
renovate Wescoe before inves-
tigators have completed their
safety report. Te University
commissioned the study in June
in response to a complaint that
fve people with ofces in Wescoe
had been diagnosed with brain
tumors, both malignant and be-
nign. Te University expects full
results from the study in early
2007.
Don Steeples, vice provost for
scholarly support, said that if in-
vestigators fnd unsafe levels of
pollutants in Wescoe, it will be
remodeled. Te University can-
not build a new building because
of a lack of funding, he said.
Students already have to put
up with increased construction
noise this year because of work
that the University should have
completed during the summer.
Students shouldnt have to put up
with noise again while attending
class in the renovated portion,
which will contain unique heat-
ing and ventilation systems.
More troubling is the disagree-
ment among federal agencies
about what levels of pollution
are acceptable. A University Re-
lations press release states that
formaldehyde levels in eight out
of 13 rooms in Wescoe exceed
guidelines of the National Insti-
tute for Occupational Safety and
Health. In contrast, the formalde-
hyde levels are far below the stan-
dards of the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration.
Despite the disagreement
among the agencies, the Univer-
sity has continued to insist that
Wescoe has poor airfow but
poses no health risk, as stated
in the University Relations press
release.
No important health or eco-
nomic decision concerning Wes-
coe and its occupants should be
made without the essential in-
formation the fnal report will
provide, nor should students be
inconvenienced if the building
must be remodeled again.

MAIL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
She said that students who hadnt
filed change of address forms would
show up at the post office as many
as three months after they moved
looking for their mail. But the post
office can only hold mail for 10 days
before it is returned to
sender.
The Lawrence post
office has been work-
ing on ways to educate
students about chang-
ing their addresses.
Raney mentioned that
they had contemplated
sending a post card to
addresses where they
knew students lived.
She said that earlier
this month, processing a change of
address form took up to 14 days, a
process that typically takes four to
seven.
Penland said the process usually
takes about a week, and when back
up occurs it can take up to two
weeks, but added, that is very rare.
So far students at residence halls
havent had the problems receiving
mail that Garner has.
Kyra Sims, Memphis Junior,
works as a
desk assistant
at both Oliver
Hall and
Ha s h i n g e r
Hall. She said
neither of
those two res-
idence halls
has had any
mail prob-
lems yet.
W e
havent had any passionate com-
plaints, Sims said.
She added that it was probably
too early to know whether there
were any problems with delayed mail
because the dorms just opened last
Sunday.
According to the Postal Service,
three ways are available to submit a
change of address form: At the local
post office, online or through the
Postal Service call center.
Its amazing how many people
move each year, Penland said.
Penland said that the Postal
Service doesnt keep statistics for
individual cities, but Raney esti-
mated between 25,000 and 30,000
change of address forms were filed
in Lawrence last year.
Thats a conservative estimate,
Raney said. I dont want to over-
state it.
Kansan staf writer Jack Weinstein

More than 320 students have
signed up for membership in the
HAWK Link program at orienta-
tions during the summer, while
more were expected to sign up
during the two events.
Juan Izaguirre, HAWK Link
program director, said the program
was founded in 1998 to help keep
multicultural students coming
back to the University after their
freshman years. Izaguirre said that
most recently HAWK Link added
a sophomore transition program,
which would ease sophomores into
their junior and senior years.
HAWK Link attracted multicul-
tural student organizations to pub-
licize events and issues at Take Over
The Beach. Those that showed up
included the Office of Multicultural
Affairs, the Black Student Union,
the Hispanic American Leadership
Organization, NPHC and others.
Amanda Ostgulen, New Student
Orientation special projects assis-
tant and Lenexa senior, said the
Office of Multicultural Affairs has
supported the HAWK Link pro-
gram for many years to help ease
the transition for first year multi-
cultural students.
These events are very impor-
tant to the Hawk Week schedule,
Ostgulen said. We are always excit-
ed to have their programs included
in Hawk Week because they are
very important to the University
and they help promote diversity on
campus.
Ostgulen said the events were
also useful as a social transition for
new and returning students.
Jonathan Lathan, Omaha, Neb.,
freshman, used the block party
on Tuesday night as such. Lathan
attended the block party after he
finished moving into his residence
hall and said the event was mean-
ingful to him as a new out-of-state
student.
This is a good chance to meet
new people, Lathan said. I didnt
know anyone coming here when
I got here, but then I met a new
group of people.

Leak causes safety scare
in Malott Tuesday night;
no gas leak discovered
About 10:30 Wednesday night
custodians working in Malott dis-
covered a leak in an air pipe inside
a lab room on the third floor and
thought it might be a gas leak.
A fire truck and ambulance
arrived on the scene minutes later
and the custodians were evacuated
from the building.
Fire captain James King said a
split in a hose connected to an air
dryer caused the leak. King said
that the leak posed no danger and
that the building was safe to con-
duct classes in.
He said that even though fire
alarms existed in the building he
was not aware of any other systems
to detect possible gas leaks.
Head custodian Henry Wilkes
said there were eight custodians
working on different floors in the
building at the time of the leak.
Wilkes said many of the employees
had just started their shifts and
were entering the building as it was
being evacuated.
Custodian Judy Bryant said she
was just coming off of a break
when she noticed flashing lights
from the fire trucks and employees
filing out of the building.
Courtney Hagen
McCluskey-Fawcett, a member
of the task force, said the elimina-
tion of late drops combined with
the threat of the WF would make
students stay in classes they start-
ed.
Students will persist rather
than take the WF, McCluskey-
Fawcett said.
Thomas Powell, Tonganoxie
senior, said he was comfortable
with the change to the policy.
Itll make people get a better
idea of how theyre going to handle
their classes, he said.
Powell had dropped a class on
the last day because he said he had
been lazy, but he didnt expect the
changes to affect him in future
classes.

There is not a bigger time for
speculation in college athletics than
the final few weeks of summer. Even
the slightest ripple of news about
the two big sports at the University
football and basketball cause
major waves this time of year.
Why?
Because there is nothing else to
talk about.
There is very little going on in
the sports world right now. Major
League Baseballs regular season is
wrapping up and NFL teams are in
training camp.
In a little more than two weeks,
college football will begin. That is
when all the speculation will end.
Can Kansas continue its winning
ways on the gridiron and go to its
second-straight bowl game? Fans
will see whether Kerry Meier is, in
fact, the quarterback of the future,
or if Mike Rivera can fill the shoes
of the trio of linebackers who gradu-
ated last year.
While Kansas first two contests
will give an indication as to where
individual players are, the Jayhawks
will not be tested until the third
week of the season when they travel
to Toledo to face a team that is
consistently in the top of its confer-
ence. It will be a difficult task for the
Jayhawks simply because of Kansas
recent inability to win on the road.
The Jayhawks have won just three
road games in the past four seasons
and have only one road victory in
conference play.
The Rockets have lost just twice
at home in their past 36 games.
Toledo will certainly be a tough task
for the young Kansas players, but
the trip will help the team prepare
for the difficult environments on the
road in the Big 12 conference.

is still a few months away, there are

er year of college
football took two
hits on Tuesday.
First, the NCAA
St udent - At hl et e
Reinstatement Committee denied
the final appeal by the University to
give the defensive lineman an extra
year of eligibility.
Later, a judge in the U.S. District
Court refused to award Butler an
injunction that would allow him to
continue practicing with the team
while a pending lawsuit is resolved,
according to officials in the Kansas
Athletics Department.
Butler has sued the University
and the NCAA in an effort to gain a
sixth year of eligibility because of a
pregnancy waiver that allows female
athletes an extra year of eligibility if
they become pregnant at some point
during their college career.
After the birth of his daughter
in October 2001, Butler took a year
off from school before attending
Avila University in 2003, where he
played football. Butler is arguing that
because he took a year off to care for
his family, he should be allowed leave
like a female athlete would have. By
not giving Butler an extra year, he is
arguing the NCAA is violating his
Title IX rights.
Butler, who played all 12 games
last season with the Jayhawks, started
his eligibility clock in 2001 when he
enrolled at DeVry in Kansas City,
Mo. Athletes are allowed five years
to play four seasons once they begin
college. Butlers fifth year ended after
last season. However, Butler is argu-
ing that he deserves an extra year.
The NCAA did not agree with
that reasoning. Erik Christianson,
director for public and media rela-
tions for the NCAA, would not com-
ment beyond the NCAAs previous
statement on the issue.
The pregnancy exception is
explicitly written for female students
whose physical condition due to
pregnancy prevents their participa-
tion in intercollegiate athletics, and
therefore is not applicable in this
case, the statement reads.
The athletic department first
appealed the ruling to NCAA staff
in June, and the NCAA denied the
appeal. The final appeal was to the
NCAA Reinstatement Committee. It
told the athletic department Tuesday
that the rule was written for female
students only.
We are disappointed in the NCAA
committees decision, Marchiony
said. We think the young man
accepted responsibility as he should
have and hes a good kid trying to do
the right thing. Its unfortunate that
hes not going to get another year to
play. Wed like to see that happen.
The only chance Butler has now
to continue his career is if he wins his
lawsuit. When reached Wednesday
by The University Daily Kansan,
Butlers attorney, Tarun Mehta, would
not comment on whether they would
continue with the lawsuit.
Were disappointed and respec-
tively disagree with the ruling, Mehta
said of the refusal of an injunction.

Player sues for alleged Title IX violation
By MiChAEl PhilliPs
Te summer months are a
slow time for college sports,
but that doesnt mean noth-
ing happened of importance.
Te University Daily Kansan
kept tabs on Jayhawk sports
throughout the summer, in-
cluding these stories and
many more available online at
Kansan.com.
Randle transfers to SIU:
Former Kansas running
back John Randle transferred
to Southern Illinois Univer-
sity in Carbondale, Ill.
Randle led the Jayhawks
in rushing in 2004, but was
plagued by of-the-feld legal
problems. Randle was sus-
pended from the team before
the 2005 season. He remained
on scholarship during that
time.
Randle will be eligible to
play immediately at SIU and
has two years of NCAA eli-
gibility remaining. In a state-
ment released by the Univer-
sity, SIU coach Jerry Kill said
he envisioned Randle playing
as a multi-purpose back.
Afer sitting out last year,
its going to take him a little
while to get into it, Kill said.
But he could make an impact
later on in the season.
Gordon injures knee:
Former Jayhawk football
player Charles Gordon injured
his left knee in a preseason
practice with the Minnesota
Vikings. He will be unable to
play for the remainder of the
preseason.
Gordon left Kansas before
his senior year to jump to
the NFL but was not selected
during the leagues draft. The
Vikings brought him to their
training camp to try out for
the team. Gordon could still
be named to the teams prac-
tice squad.

Brittany Williams was in
Lawrence, like most KU students,
the weekend Hurricane Katrina hit.
Unlike most students, Williams, a
New Orleans native, was on her offi-
cial recruitment visit with the KU
volleyball team.
Hurricane Katrina was coming
into the Gulf, and it was coming in
around Friday, Williams, a 6-foot-1
freshman middle blocker, said of the
weekend. By the time I was ready to
go home, it was at least eight or nine
hours outside of the city. We had to
wait and see if it was safe for me to
fly home, and I was able to get back
home. At the calm of the storm, I
was able to get with my parents, and
we drove to Atlanta where we stayed
the rest of the year.
In Atlanta, Williams said the hos-
pitality she received was a blessing
from God.
Her school in
Atlanta, Marist
School, took in
more than 10
Katrina refugees
while it contrib-
uted to Habitat
for Humanity and
numerous food
drives for Katrina
victims.
They gave
us free uniforms and free books,
Williams said. It was just such a
blessing and such an opportunity. I
made sure I took the opportunity the
fullest, and I even made sure I played
volleyball there for them.
Williams joined the Marist vol-
leyball team midway through the
season, and helped them to a run-
ner-up finish at the Georgia state
championships.
While the hospitality in Atlanta
was overwhelming, Williams said
it was still emotionally difficult to
deal with day-to-day life after the
hurricane.
It was very hard, to the point, at
one point, I just shut down, she said.
I watched television that very first
week and saw family members and
friends at the convention center and
the Superdome.
While her two homes were still
standing, Katrina took nearly every-
thing from Williams and her family.
Williams said after the hurricane her
dad was in New Orleans trying to fix
up their property, so her mom stayed
with her and her brother, Byron Jr.,
in Atlanta. Because her mom devot-
ed herself to her children, she was
not able to get a job in Atlanta dur-
ing the school
year.
Wi l l i a ms
said that now
her parents
have switched
roles, because
her mom has a
job and her dad
is still looking
for work.
Through it
all, Williams
said her parents have been there for
her and her brother.
Theyve been very great, keep-
ing us feeling normal, she said. We
feel like a family. We feel like noth-
ing ever happened sometimes. Youd

Jankovich considered
for Sadlers UTEP job
The University of Texas-El
Paso lost coach Doc Sadler
to the Big 12 early last week
when Sadler was hired to fll
the mens basketball coach-
ing vacancy at Nebraska.
Later in the week, UTEP
tapped the Big 12 and nearly
found Sadlers replacement
in Kansas assistant Tim
Jankovich.
ESPNs Andy Katz report-
ed that UTEP interviewed
Jankovich in Dallas on Fri-
day. Kansas coach Bill Self
confrmed Jankovichs con-
tact with the school and said
Jankovich was very excited
about the opportunity.
UTEP ultimately hired
Memphis assistant Tony Bar-
bee to lead the program.
UTEP interviewed seven
other candidates for the
coaching position. Barbee
is the schools frst African-
American mens basketball
coach. In addition to Jankov-
ich, candidates from the Big
12 included Texas A&M assis-
tant Alvin Brooks and Texas
assistant Rodney Terry.
Jankovich is heading into
his fourth year on the Kan-
sas coaching staf. Self told
the Lawrence Journal-World
that Jankovich was just as
excited to be sticking around
at Kansas for the upcoming
season.

Women wind up frst
in academics
Balancing academics and
athletics can be tough to
accomplish, but the Kansas
swimming and diving team
excelled at it last season.
The teams 3.39 grade
point average was higher
than any other athletic team
at the University of Kansas
last season. Among swim-
ming and diving programs,
Kansas GPA ranked frst in
the Big 12 and 22nd in Divi-
sion I.
Every semester, our
number-one goal as a team
is to have the highest GPA,
said coach Clark Campbell
in response to the teams
academic success in a press
release. We are very happy
with both our team and indi-
vidual honors.
Individually, eight KU
swimmers earned All-Ameri-
can status in the 2005-06 sea-
son. Sophomore Ashley Lei-
digh was the only Academic
All-American while seven
others earned Academic All-
American Honorable Men-
tion, including two of last
seasons seniors, Emily Rusch
and Lindsey Urbatchka, cur-
rent senior Jenny Short, ju-
niors Lauren Bonfe and Terri
Schramka, and sophomores
Molly Brammer and Danielle
Herrmann.
Coaches Campbell and
Eric Elliot will lead the team
during the 2006-07 season
and hope to continue the
success witnessed last sea-
son.
The team opens the sea-
son Oct. 6 with the intra-
squad meet and will travel to
Lincoln. Neb., for the Big 12
Relays on Oct. 13.

The Houston Astros and Chicago
Cubs played on and on, long after
Roger Clemens left and Brad Lidge
blew another save.
Nine innings, 12, 15 ... 18!
And they werent alone.
For the first time in major league
history Tuesday night, two games on
the same day lasted 18 innings. The
other was in Colorado, where the
Arizona Diamondbacks pulled out a
2-1 victory at 12:26 a.m. MDT.
About 45 minutes earlier, Chicago
outlasted Houston 8-6 thanks to two
big swings by Matt Murton. He hit
a tying homer off Lidge in the top
of the ninth and a two-run single in
the 18th.
I was a little tired, Murton said.
Thats just part of the game. You
have to find a way to get over it. It
was a great night in the sense we
were able to win a game like that.
At Coors Field, the longest game
in Rockies history finally ended
after Luis Gonzalezs RBI single off
Ramon Ramirez (3-3).
There were 15 pitchers and 514
pitches. Gonzalez was 0-for-7 before
his decisive hit.
This, Colorados Cory Sullivan
said, was a war of attrition.
Same thing in Houston, where the
Cubs and Astros played the longest
regular-season game in the six-year
history of Minute Maid Park.
By the end, Chicago manager
Dusty Baker was down to his last
pitcher and player Rich Hill,
who was slated to start Wednesday
afternoon. Thanks to Murton, Hill
(3-5) only had to throw 28 pitches,
shutting out the Astros in the 17th
and 18th.
The teams used 18 pitchers in
all, tying an NL record. Hill finally
ended it after 5 hours, 36 minutes,
by striking out Morgan Ensberg at
12:41 a.m. CDT on the games 542nd
pitch.
The Cubs and Astros werent
going to get much sleep, either. The
finale of their three-game series was
scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. CDT
on Wednesday.
We played hard and had great
pitching performances. It was just a
tough one to lose, Houston manager
Phil Garner said.
It was Houstons third 18-inning
game in 10 months. The Astros out-
lasted Atlanta 7-6 in a home playoff
game last October to advance to the
NL championship series, and lost
8-7 in 18 innings at Pittsburgh on
May 27.
Murton sent this one to extras
with a leadoff homer in the ninth
off Lidge, who blew a save in a game
Clemens started for the second time
in a month.
The Rocket was long gone by the
time Dave Borkowski (1-1) came
on to pitch the final six innings for
the Astros, who lost their fourth
straight.
Fans streamed out of the ball-
park by the hundreds after each half
inning, and only a few thousand
were still around to see Murtons
go-ahead hit.
In Denver, only about 3,000 fans
among the announced crowd of
22,076 remained for the final out of
Arizonas victory.
Brandon Medders (5-2) struck
out four in three hitless innings
for the win. Diamondbacks reliev-
ers allowed six hits in 12 shutout
innings, striking out 13 and walking
four in a game that lasted 5 hours,
21 minutes.
Research by the Elias Sports
Bureau determined it was the first
time two games on the same day
lasted as long as 18 innings. Still,
they were not the longest games
in the majors this season the
Chicago White Sox beat Boston 6-5
in 19 innings on July 9.

Broncos Dayne hopes to
return to starting lineup
By Pat gRaHaM
assOCIateD PRess
DENVER The limp betrayed
Ron Daynes attempt to act like he
was feeling all right.
Dayne, who injured his toe in the
preseason opener against Detroit,
struggled to climb the steps leading
to the cafeteria Wednesday, using
the railing for support.
Im feeling better, said the
Denver Broncos running back, who
has missed the last four practices
with the turf-toe injury. Its getting
stronger.
But its not strong enough to
play in Saturdays preseason game
against Tennessee.
I dont think (Ill play), Dayne
said. Well see.
Given the way the Bells Mike
and Tatum are running, Daynes
aspirations of being the feature back
in Denver may be fading. Still, hes
not quite ready to give up, holding
onto hope that its not too late for
him to make a push for the start-
ing job.
Hopefully I can get back and be
ready to go, Dayne said.
Mike Bell, the rookie who was
handed the starting job last week,
is turning heads, as is Tatum Bell.
Cedric Cobbs is coming along and
newcomer Damien Nash is looking
solid in practice.
Frustration hasnt set in with
Dayne yet. The former Wisconsin
great, who rushed for an NCAA
Division-I regular season record of
6,397 yards in his career and won
the 1999 Heisman Trophy, is main-
taining a cool and calm demeanor.
At least on the outside.
I cant complain, Dayne said. I
can just try to get better; try to get
it feeling stronger.
Denver coach Mike Shanahan
figured Dayne would be back by
now. A few days off and hed be
back to work.
Its a temporary setback,
Shanahan said on Sunday. But he
should be OK.
Dayne cant even say how the
injury occurred. He thought some-
one may have fallen on the toe dur-
ing the Lions game, when he had
five carries for 12 yards.
One of the reasons Denver
cut ties with Mike Anderson was
because of his similarity in style to
Dayne, who showed flashes of what
he could bring to the field last sea-
son. His 55-yard run in overtime
against Dallas on Thanksgiving
Day set up a game-winning field by
Jason Elam.
Dayne also had a crucial 10-
yard carry on a fourth-and-1 play
against San Diego on Sept. 18 that
put the Broncos in position for a
winning kick.
Once Anderson was out of town,
it looked like a two-back race for the
starting job Dayne and Tatum
Bell. Then Mike Bell squeezed his
way into the mix, and Dayne fell all
the way to third string.
I had a couple bad days (of
practice) and I think thats what
kind of set me back, Dayne said.
Ive just got to get back on track.

Trio of champions prepare to meet
in the fnal major of the season
By anDRew selIgMan
assOCIateD PRess
MEDINAH, ILL. Tiger Woods
remembers the encounter. It was
epic, a real back-and-forth contest
with Phil Mickelson at a big event.
They were playing pingpong at
the Presidents Cup.
Phil and I went at it quite a few
times, Woods said. We had fun.
Jeff Sluman remembers Woods
and Mickelson sweating it over
three hard-fought games.
Imagine the intensity when
they square off today at the PGA
Championship, considering how
rarely Woods and Mickelson go
head-to-head in a major.
I think that the PGA has every-
thing under control safety-wise,
Mickelson said. That would be the
only concern. But I think it should
be fine and a lot of fun.
The PGA Championship tra-
ditionally puts together the three
major champions of the year for
the first two rounds, and this year
it has a doozy.
Woods, the British Open cham-
pion, is fresh off consecutive vic-
tories that brought him his 11th
major at Royal Liverpool and his
50th career PGA Tour title at the
Buick Open.
Mickelson, the Masters cham-
pion and last years PGA winner,
is the greatest threat to Woods
throne.
And somewhere in the mix is
U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy.
The ruthless Woods and fan-
friendly Mickelson have been rivals
for the better part of the last decade,
but this will be only the 14th time
they have played together and their
third meeting in a major.
They last met at a major in the
final round of the 2001 Masters,
where Woods was going for an
unprecedented fourth consecutive
major and Mickelson, who had
stopped two of Woods streaks, was
one shot behind. Woods pulled
away with mistake-free golf on the
back nine for a two-shot victory.
I was lucky enough to win, but
to be able to go down the stretch
in a major championship is always
fun, Woods said. With a talent
like Phil, you always know you
have to play your best in order to
come out on top.
According to Mickelsons
coach and short-game guru, Dave
Pelz, told the Chicago Tribune in
Tuesdays editions that might not
be enough.
Im thinking nobody can beat
him, Pelz said.
And that includes Woods, who
has 11 majors to Mickelsons three.
I think Im pretty tough to beat
when Im playing well, too, Woods
countered.
For now, Woods and Mickelson
arent putting much stock into the
matchup.
When youre playing against
... those guys in a major, down
the stretch on Sunday, now weve
got everything on the line, Woods
said. But on a Thursday and
Friday, youre just getting started.
Mickelson said, What I would
love to see happen is to see both
of us play well, and both have
a chance, and be paired in later
groups.

Jake Sharp takes everything seri-
ously.
Whether its taking snaps at run-
ning back with the offense or just
running sprints before wrapping up
practice, the freshman is intense.
I guess thats kind of the way Ive
been brought up, Sharp said. Its
how Ive been taught the game of
football. Its not a game for boys.
That intensity doesnt mean he
cant have some fun, though.
I go out there and focus on the
task at hand and try and balance it
with as much horseplay as possible,
Sharp said.
All games and horseplay aside,
Sharps intensity at practice is hard
not to notice. For him KU Football
is a learning experience, a chance
for one of the most successful run-
ning backs in the history of Kansas
high schools to prove himself at the
college level.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said
he had already seen Sharps game
face in practice.
He is so serious in practice every
day, Mangino said. Ill be inter-
ested to see what he looks like on
game day.
Mangino has certainly been
impressed with Sharp in practices
so far this month. At Big 12 Football
Media Day in Kansas City, Mo. last
month, Mangino called Sharp the
hardest-working freshman hed ever
seen.
He wants to get in the mix and
play, Mangino said. He is certainly
competing.
In an open practice for fans and
media on Aug. 5, Sharp took several
reps in the backfield with the third-
team offense. His speed was evident
as he made cuts to the right side
of the offensive line and exploded
through holes for long downfield
runs.
Sharps work ethic during less
than a month of practice has already
impressed his teammates, includ-
ing redshirt freshman quarterback
Kerry Meier.
These first couple of practices,
hes showcased his talent, Meier
said. Hes a very talented man and
Im looking forward to great things
from him.
While its possible for Sharp to
see some time in the backfield this
season, its more likely that hell
play on the special teams unit or
possibly take a redshirt. In addition
to his running back duties, he has
already practiced as a punt and kick
returner. Sharp said hed be open to
the possibility of being a Jayhawk
for five seasons.
If I would redshirt, Id get anoth-
er year here, Sharp said. But then
again, if I wouldnt redshirt, itd be
nice to play because Im not a guy
that likes to watch from the side-
lines.
Watching from the sidelines was
hardly a part of Sharps high school
career.
Sharp arrived in Lawrence as
one of Kansas top high-school
running backs. He was named the
Gatorade Player of the Year for the
state of Kansas in 2005. The Salina
native also set a state record with
63 career touchdowns and is the
second leading rusher in Kansas
state high school history. His team,
Salina Central High School, went
undefeated last season and captured
the Kansas 5A state title.
The adjustment from high school
to college hasnt been easy, despite
his success and reputation. Practices
have been long, but Sharp admit-
ted it has been a valuable learning
experience. He said the transition
has been made easier because of the
workload in high school.
Coming up here, its much more
of a challenge, Sharp said. Im
lucky, coming from a program where
we lifted and ran a lot, but some
guys arent lucky enough to come
from a big school, so it takes a little
longer for them to make gains.

Editors Note: This is the first in a
series of Big 12 previews by Kansan
football writer Shawn Shroyer. Look
for his previews in the next 11 issues of
The University Daily Kansan.
Two seasons ago, Oklahoma State
played Ohio State in the Alamo Bowl
and lost 33-7. The two OSU pro-
grams have gone in opposite direc-
tions since.
This season, Ohio State is consid-
ered a national championship con-
tender, whereas Big 12 media predict
Oklahoma State will finish fifth in
the Big 12 South.
Nevertheless, Oklahoma State
coach Mike Gundy is confident his
second season will be better than his
first, when the Cowboys went 4-7
overall and 1-7 in the Big 12.
Were a better football team than we
were at the end of the season, Gundy
said. Were more mature in areas that I
think make a big difference.
Those areas include quarterback,
running back, wide receiver, tight
end and center. Oklahoma State had
freshmen starting at each of those
positions last season. Some struggled,
while others flourished, but all are
trying to improve as sophomores.
Sophomore Bobby Reid appeared
in seven games last year, starting five.
The highlight of Reids season was
leading Oklahoma State to an upset
victory against Texas Tech when he
completed 10 of 18 passes for one
touchdown and no interceptions.
For the season, however, Reid
completed just 48.1 percent of his
passes, threw four interceptions to
two touchdowns and was sacked 15
times.
Those sacks were a result of inex-
perience on the offensive line, as
center David Washington was only
a freshman. Reid hopes the year of
experience translates into him stay-
ing on his feet more often.
What could complicate matters
on the line again this year are fresh-
men Brady Bond, Noah Franklin and
Jacob Secrest, who are fighting for
the two guard spots.
Despite their youth, senior offen-
sive lineman Corey Hilliard said
theyre looking good and, as a result,
Reid has looked better this spring.
Theyll be all right, I have all
the confidence in the world in those
guys, Hilliard said.
In the backfield, sophomore Mike
Hamilton is coming off a freshman
campaign that left him just 39 yards
short of a 1,000-yard rushing season.
Hamilton averaged five yards per
carry and was the teams second-
leading receiver with 20 receptions,
but he was only able to break into the
end zone once.
Reid should have more receiving
options this season. Receiver DJuan
Woods is entering his senior season
after racking up nearly 900 receiv-
ing yards and eight touchdowns last
year.
Joining Woods are sophomore
Ricky Price and junior Adarius
Bowman. Price had 16 catches for 238
yards as a freshman, while Bowman
had to sit out a year after transfer-
ring from North Carolina. In two
years at North Carolina, Bowman
caught 28 balls for 510 yards and five
touchdowns.
Gundy is eager to see what extra
element Bowman can add to the
offense.
When theres guys that make
plays with the ball in their hand, that
makes you look a lot better, and hes
the guy that can contribute to that,
Gundy said.
Also getting into the mix will
be sophomore tight end Brandon
Pettigrew. Pettigrew had 11 recep-
tions for 128 yards and a touchdown
as a freshman.
This combination of experienced
youth with seniors like Woods and
Hilliard has the Cowboys looking to
tear up defenses in 2006.
If we get in and protect Bobby
and make lanes for Mike, I think
well be one of the best, if not the best
offense in the Big 12, Hilliard said.
Oklahoma States defense should
be more experienced than its offense,
but not by much.
The Cowboys have seven return-
ing starters on defense, but only four
of the seven are seniors and all four
are on the defensive line. To fill in
behind them, Gundy will be throw-
ing some youngsters on the field and
moving players to new positions.

is Oklahoma States top returning
tackler from 2005, but joining him
will be freshman Chris Collins and
junior Jeremy Nethon, who took a
redshirt last season and is converting
to linebacker from safety.
Sophomore Calvin Mickens and
junior Martel Van Zant are returning
starters at corner and sophomore
Jacob Lacey should see significant
playing time with them.
Junior Donovan Woods is a retun-
ing starter at strong safety, but along-
side him will be freshman Andre
Sexton.
Opposing offenses may take
advantage of Oklahoma States young
secondary, but the Cowboys should
be able to stuff the run with the
likes of senior defensive tackle Ryan
McBean.
I think weve got some of the best
ends, Hilliard said. And in Ryan
McBean, hes probably one of the
best d-tackles in the conference. Hes
going to have a breakout year.
In 2006, the key to success for the
Cowboys will be avoiding the kinds
of mistakes young teams are prone to
committing.
Last season, turnovers killed the
Cowboys on offense and the defense
gave up too many big plays.
Gundy and Hilliard say the team
has improved in the turnover cat-
egory. If it hasnt, the Cowboys will
be at home for the second straight
winter.

straight practices because
of a hamstring problem, was

Wednesday in Oxnard, Calif.
he did ride the stationary

Coach Bill parcells wasnt

That doesnt mean he

he has missed a lot of time.
It wouldnt be so much

how much he practiced and
did he get enough practice
to make a good judgment

ALBANY, N.Y. More than
two years after appearing in his
last game and 18 months after
having a tendon transplanted in
his elbow, Rob Johnson will try
to show the New York Giants
he still can play quarterback.
Chiefs coach Herm Edwards
also will be making his return to
Giants Stadium in East Ruther-
ford, N.J., tonight, but he has a
lot less to prove.
Johnson will continue his
comeback from Tommy John-
style elbow surgery when the
Giants (1-0) play host to Kan-
sas City (0-1) in a preseason
game that marks the return of
Edwards to the New York-met-
ropolitan area after fve up-and-
down seasons with the Jets.
Oh, I am going to be ner-
vous, said the 33-year-old
Johnson. If you are not ner-
vous, its not important.
This is a very important game
for the 10-year veteran who last
played on Dec. 22, 2003, ap-
pearing in relief for Oakland in
a Monday night game. That was
the game Brett Favre threw four
touchdowns a day after his fa-
ther died.
Johnsons career was in doubt
at that point. A severely frayed
elbow tendon left him with little
feeling in his right hand. It was
so bad he couldnt pump gas.
He needed rehabilitation, sur-
gery and more rehab to get back
into football.
The Giants signed him in
May.
Ill go in there and play like
I used to play, try to make some
plays, try to make big plays,
Johnson said. Thats what I
like to do. I am not going to go
in there with a negative mind-
set that I cant do this and cant
do that.
Johnson has been inconsis-
tent battling Tim Hasselbeck
and Jared Lorenzen for the No.
2 spot behind Eli Manning.
Johnson has made quick deci-
sions, but the two-a-day work-
outs have tested his arm. His
long passes have been wobbly.
Hes rusty, obviously, be-
cause he hasnt had an entire
couple of years of being at
this, said Giants coach Tom
Coughlin, who also had John-
son in Jacksonville in the mid
1990s. Hes very hard on him-
self, very impatient. He does
some good things, and then,
of course, he does some things
that are not so hot. Hes getting
there.
Manning will start the game.
Johnson will replace him in
what might be his only chance
to impress the Giants, since
Manning will see the majority
of action against the Jets next
week.
Edwards has a lot less riding
on the game.
Im going to enjoy going
back, he said. Ive got a lot of
friends that are still there. I had
a great stay there and enjoyed it
there, but things changed.
While Edwards led the Jets
to three playoff appearances,
he was ushered out after a 4-12
mark last season. Kansas City
gave New York a fourth-round
draft pick to get him released
from the fnal two years of his
contract.
Edwards is trying to lead the
Chiefs to the playoffs for the frst
time since 2003. They missed
last year under Dick Vermeil
despite 10 wins.
Kansas City did not play well
in a 24-14 loss to Houston last
weekend. The defense, which
Edwards has sworn to improve,
allowed the Texans to hold the
ball for nearly 36 minutes.
The Giants expect halfback
Tiki Barber and tight end Jer-
emy Shockey to play this week,
putting all 11 starters from last
year back in the lineup.
That should test Kansas Citys
pass defense, which supposedly
was upgraded with the addition
of cornerback Ty Law.
Both teams need help at de-
fensive tackle.
Baltimore averaged 5.3 yards
rushing last weekend against
the Giants, which means the
Chiefs Larry Johnson might
have a big night, even with Pro
Bowl left tackle Willie Roaf re-
tired and Pro Bowl guard Brian
Waters hurt. Barber could be a
headache for Kansas City.
Whatever happens, Edwards
intends to enjoy the game, like
he did coaching in New York.
Its not hard. Its fun. Its
New York, Edwards said. I
think if youre honest with peo-
ple, forthright with people and
do things your way, youre fne.
I enjoyed it. I learned a lot being
the head coach up there.

Watching games
away from home
By PAT EATON-ROBB
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW HAVEN, Conn. When
Yale football coach Jack Siedlecki
goes on a national recruiting trip, he
hears the same questions over and
over from parents.
They always want to know, Are
you on TV? Can I get the games?
Siedlecki said.
With the exception of the game
against rival Harvard, the answer is
usually, No.
The big TV networks simply arent
interested in the little Ivy League.
But the Ivy League and other
small conferences may have found a
way around that the Internet.
Many schools, and now some
conferences, have begun showing
football and other sports on their
Web sites.
We can produce our own televi-
sion and reach, literally, the entire
world on the Web, without having
to go through the issues of, is there
cable availability? Is there satellite
availability? Is there advertising sup-
port? said Jeff Orleans, commis-
sioner of the Ivy League.
He expects most of the leagues
sporting events will be online within
seven years.
Big Sky Conferences Northern
Arizona offered webcasts of home
football games last year. Using the
four cameras already set up to pro-
vide replays on the stadium score-
board, the school added audio from
its radio broadcasts along with con-
tinually updated statistics.
Our fans love it, said Steven
Shaff, a spokesman for the schools
athletic department. We had people
in Alaska, parents of students in
Canada, watching our games last
year.
This season, the entire nine-school
Big Sky Conference will webcast all
football, basketball and volleyball
games, using technology from Salt
Lake City-based SportsCast Network
LLC.
Fans will be able to choose which
teams audio feed to which to listen.
Games will be archived and can be
downloaded to portable devices like
Apple Computer Inc.s iPod.
This is the future, Big Sky
Commissioner Doug Fullerton said.
The fan will decide what they are
going to watch and when they are
going to watch it.
Contrast that with television,
where only a handful of games each
week are chosen for national broad-
cast, primarily featuring Top 25
Division I-A teams.
The financial setup is different
from traditional television contracts,
in which networks pay a flat fee
for broadcast rights. In the Big Sky
contract, the schools keep the rights
and provide feeds to SportsCast,
which processes the video for view-
ing online.
The schools sell advertising and
charge a subscription fee its $60
to follow one Big Sky school all
year. The schools share profits with
SportsCast.
Until recently putting sports
online had not been practical. Not
enough people had high-speed
Internet connections.
Thats changed. According to the
Pew Internet and American Life
Project, 62 percent of U.S. Internet
users now have broadband at home,
compared with 21 percent just four
years ago.
Online video technology also
has improved, allowing for bigger,
sharper pictures that take up much
less bandwidth, said Michael Begley,
the CEO and founder of SportsCast.
SportsCast isnt alone.
The NCAA last year contracted
with Charleston, S.C.-based Penn
Atlantic LLC to help show some of its
Division II and III basketball cham-
pionships. The Division III semifinal
games last March had 49,000 people
log on, said Jack Pennington, the
chief executive of Penn Atlantic.
His company will be webcast-
ing 39 Western Athletic Conference
football games this year.
Fans of larger schools will see
more games as well.
This fall, ESPNs new online
channel, ESPN 360, will show 30
football games, 10 of them, involving
teams such as Virginia Tech, Purdue,
Miami and Minnesota, exclusively
on that Web site. The site, available
to about 6 million homes, will also
have such features as chat rooms,
statistics and online polls.
It truly is interactive televi-
sion, said Tanya Van Court, ESPNs
vice president and general man-
ager of Broadband and Interactive
Television. It really gives you all
the best things about the Internet,
with all the best things about televi-
sion.
For several years, ESPN also has
offered games that are televised only
regionally to cable and Internet view-
ers on a pay-per-view basis.
Even with the number of net-
works that we have on television, we
still dont have the capacity to put on
every sporting event that we think
our fans want to see, she said.
She said schools willingness to
show their own games online indi-
cates demand not only for the games
but also for the new platform.
The schools also dont see the
Web replacing television. Major con-
ferences make millions of dollars
from their football and basketball
television contracts, but many also
plan to webcast other sports, such as
volleyball or swimming.
The Big Ten Conference
announced plans this summer cre-
ate its own cable channel for minor
sports. The Big Ten Channel also will
be available through the Internet,
iPods, cell phones and other tech-
nologies, the league said.
Theres still nothing like sitting
in your chair and watching high-
definition football on TV, said Jon
Kasper, a spokesman for the Big Sky
Conference. Conference. But for
our fans that dont have that option,
this is the wave of the future.
The Internet allows small colleges
to televise their games nationwide

The San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds watches his solo home run against the San Diego Padres during the frst inning of their baseball game
Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2006, in San Diego.
Bonds ends homerless streak
Giants slugger now 31 home runs shy of Aarons record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Barry Bonds hit his 724th career
home run Wednesday night, a solo
shot leading off the second inning
against San Diegos Chan Ho Park.
Bonds is now 31 shy of tying
home run king Hank Aarons record
of 755. Bonds has 16 homers this
season for the San Francisco Giants.
Park has allowed eight career
homers to Bonds, tying him for
the most with Greg Maddux, Terry
Mulholland, Curt Schilling and John
Smoltz.
The 42-year-old Bonds hadnt
homered since Aug. 4 against
Colorado.
The homer gave Bonds 1,903
RBIs, tying him for seventh on the
career list with his godfather, Willie
Mays.
It was Bonds 84th homer and
208th RBI against San Diego, his
most against any opponent.
His 44 homers in San Diego are
his most in road city. It was fifth in
three seasons at Petco Park.
Orioles 3, Yankees 2
Adam Loewen beat the Yankees
for the second time in August, and
four Baltimore relievers combined
for shutout relief in a a 3-2 victory
Wednesday night that stopped the
Orioles five-game losing streak.
New Yorks AL East lead over the
second-place Red Sox was cut to
two games. After playing the Orioles
on Thursday, the Yankees head to
Boston for a five-game series that
opens with a day-night doublehead-
er Friday.
Making his 14th major league
appearance, Loewen (3-4) threw a
career-high 107 pitches, allowing
two runs and four hits with five
strikeouts in 5 2-3 innings. On Aug.
5, he yielded one hit over 6 1-3
innings during a 5-0 win over New
York at Camden Yards.
Todd Williams, Tim Byrdak,
LaTroy Hawkins and Chris Ray fin-
ished, with Ray getting six outs for
his 28th save in 30 chances. The
bullpen, which has the worst ERA
in the American League, blew a two-
run lead for Erik Bedard on Tuesday
night in a 6-3 loss.
Baltimore built a 3-0 lead with
runs in the first three innings against
Cory Lidle (1-2).
Red Sox 6, Tigers 4
David Ortiz hit his major league-
leading 42nd home run and David
Wells pitched into the seventh, help-
ing the Boston Red Sox avoid a
sweep.
Coco Crisp put the Red Sox on
top with a two-run double in the
sixth for Boston. Ortiz hit a two-run
shot off Justin Verlander (14-6) into
the Red Sox bullpen in the fifth to
give Boston a 3-1 lead. He also leads
the majors in RBIs with 113.
Magglio Ordonez and Brent
Clevlen homered for the Tigers.
Wells (2-2), making his fourth
start since coming off the disabled
list July 31, gave up four runs on
10 hits with one walk and three
strikeouts.
Craig Hansen got four outs and
Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth
for his 32nd save in 37 chances.
Devil Rays 8, Blue Jays 3
James Shields threw six solid
innings to stop his six-game losing
streak and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays
ended their seven-game skid.
Shields (5-6) allowed three runs
one earned and four hits in his
first win since June 21. He had been
winless in nine starts after winning
four straight outings.
Damon Hollins hit his career-high
14th homer for the Devil Rays, who
are 9-22 since the All-Star break.
Toronto got a solo home run from
Bengie Molina. The Blue Jays are 7-
3 since a season-worst seven-game
losing streak.
Jonny Gomes and Jorge Cantu
had consecutive RBI doubles before
Hollins hit a two-run homer off Ted
Lilly (10-11) to put the Devil Rays
ahead 4-0 in the first.
Phillies 3, Mets 0
Jon Lieber pitched his first shut-
out in more than five years, Chris
Coste hit a two-run homer and the
Philadelphia Phillies won their third
straight over the New York Mets.
The Phillies thumped the Mets
by a combined 24-4 score in the first
two games of the series hardly
indicative of a team that trails NL
East-leading New York by 12 games.
Lieber (5-9) was terrific, putting
together his third straight solid start
since an awful outing against Florida
on the day of the trade deadline.
He scattered five hits, walked none
and struck out four for his second
complete game this season and first
shutout since May 24, 2001, with the
Chicago Cubs.
Lieber threw 72 of his 101 pitches
for strikes in a game that took just 2
hours, 3 minutes.
Tom Glavine (12-6) took the loss
despite an effective seven-inning
stint.
Nationals 9, Braves 6
Ryan Zimmerman homered and
singled to raise his rookie-leading
RBI total to 78, and the Washington
Nationals handed John Smoltz his
first loss in more than two months.
Eight members of Washingtons
starting nine reached base against
Smoltz (10-6), and the Nationals
batted around in a four-run second
inning. Zimmerman drove in one
run with an infield single in that
inning, and he hit a two-run shot in
the fourth for his 16th homer.
Brian Schneider padded
Washingtons lead with a three-run
shot off reliever Ken Ray after two
walks in the seventh, the catchers
first homer since July 9.
Washington starter Billy Traber
(3-1) earned his second consecutive
victory despite allowing five runs
four earned over 5 2-3 innings.
He gave up six hits and one walk and
hit two batters.
Reds 7, Cardinals 2
Bronson Arroyo ended a 10-
start winless slump and Edwin
Encarnacion hit two of Cincinnatis
five home runs, leading the Reds
over St. Louis 7-2 Wednesday night
and cutting the Cardinals lead in the
NL Central to 1 1/2 games.
All of the Reds homers came in
the first five innings. Ken Griffey Jr.
hit his 24th to tie Pete Rose for 20th
place with 1,041 extra-base hits, and
Rich Aurilia and Adam Dunn also
connected.
The Reds are 9-5 against the
Cardinals headed into Thursdays
series finale, also the final game
between the teams this season.
The Cardinals, who scored
both of their runs on bases-loaded
groundouts, are 26-31 against a divi-
sion they dominated last year with a
51-29 record.
Arroyo (10-8), who represent-
ed the Reds at the All-Star Game,
allowed one run on four hits in seven
innings to win for the first time since
June 19. He had been 0-5 with a
5.29 ERA during the drought, and
gave up three homers in a loss to the
Cardinals in his last start.
Arroyo twice got the best of
Albert Pujols, helping keep the Reds
in charge. Pujols grounded into a
double play in the first after Arroyo
walked the first two batters, and
grounded into a run-scoring fielders
choice with the bases loaded in the
third to cut the Reds lead to 4-1.
Encarnacion hit two homers for
the second time in his career, and
second time in five games. He hom-
ered well over the visitors bullpen
in left leading off the second against
Anthony Reyes (4-6) for the games
first run, and hit a three-run homer
in the third for a 4-0 lead.
Aurilia hit his 17th leading off the
fourth, and Griffey and Dunn hom-
ered off Jorge Sosa in the fifth for a
7-1 cushion. The five-homer game is
one off the Reds season high.
Reyes, who made his 12th career
start, endured his shortest outing. In
3 1/3 innings he allowed five runs
on four hits, and gave up three of
the homers.
Royals 10, White Sox 4
Mark Grudzielanek hit a three-
run homer and finished with three
hits only hours after agreeing to
a contract extension, and Adam
Bernero pitched six shutout innings
to lead the Kansas City Royals
past the Chicago White Sox 10-4
Wednesday night.
The defending World Series
champions have lost two straight
to the Royals, who have the worst
record in the majors. Just before
that, Chicago won five in a row _
including a three-game sweep of the
Detroit Tigers, who own the best
mark in the big leagues.
The White Sox trail Detroit by
6 1/2 games in the AL Central.
Kansas City, which roughed up Jose
Contreras, had lost five straight
before beating the White Sox on
consecutive nights.
Ryan Shealy also homered for the
Royals, who won for just for the fifth
time in 17 road games.
Alex Cintron hit a grand slam in
the ninth for the White Sox, who set
a franchise record with nine slams
this season.
Bernero (1-0) won his first game
as a starter in the majors since May
31, 2003. His last win came June 18,
2005, with the Braves in Cincinnati.
Bernero, making his second start
of the season, held the White Sox to
five hits. He struck out six and didnt
allow a walk.
DeJesus hit a two-run single in
the eighth and Mark Teahen added
an RBI double to give the Royals a
10-0 lead.

includes Kansas in the top five.
Why shouldnt those publica-
tions include the Jayhawks? They
will arguably be the deepest team
in the country next season, with all
key players returning.
Kansas brings in two McDonalds
All-Americans who will fight for
playing time, which will be hard
to come by, a good problem for
coach Bill Self. He will have the
option to give ten players signifi-
cant minutes.
Come November, though, the
talk ends about who should start,
and whether Darrell Arthur is
as sick of an athlete as has been
described. The Jayhawks will take
the floor to determine if all these
players can co-exist for 40 min-
utes and begin working toward
winning a national championship.
They will be tested early in Las
Vegas when they face the defend-
ing national champions, Florida,
over Thanksgiving weekend.
Florida is a team that Kansas
will want to emulate in the com-
ing season. Last season the Gators
were led primarily by sophomores
much like this years Jayhawk
team and won a national cham-
pionship.
Kansas will not be able to trav-
el under the radar at the begin-
ning of this season. Everyone will
expect the Jayhawks to be good,
and opponents will be gunning
for them.
Speculation will also continue
for a few more weeks as to the
nature of the NCAA sanctions for
the football and mens and womens
basketball teams after University
officials met with the NCAA last
week. Additional sanctions could
include loss of scholarships and
even postseason bans, which are
detrimental to a program.
Until then, it is all just specula-
tion. Fans can watch training camp
updates of who looks good and
who has struggled, but fans now
mostly wait until the football sea-
son opener against Northwestern
State on Sept. 2.
In the meantime, just sit
around, wait, and speculate about
the Kansas City Chiefs second-
ary after their great performance
against the always stellar Houston
Texans.

think we just moved.
While her family has held togeth-
er, Williams used volleyball as a way
to get away from the aftermath of the
hurricane.
Every time you get a kill, it just
lifts your spirits, she said. You dont
think about things so much, you
just think about the game, whatever
is outside you deal with after the
game.
Coach Ray Bechard said Williams
had a great senior season, all things
considered, and was excited to have
her on the team.
Brittany is, number one, a great
kid to coach, he said. Her ath-
leticism is a little bit ahead of her
technical level, but when those two
things collide, or peak, then shes
going to be an outstanding player
here at Kansas and in the Big 12.
Bechard said Williams had a
chance to compete for a starting
position in the middle this season.
Williams chose Kansas instead of
schools such as Baylor, Georgia Tech
and Florida because it was the only
place she could see herself at.
Williams seems to be enjoy-
ing herself at Kansas. Even though
Hurricane Katrina took nearly
everything from her, she learned
never to give up.
Things can slow me down but
cant stop me, she said. I have to
find a way to get around it. I have to
keep going towards my goals.

He had surgery last week to
repair the injury, which was
described as cartilage damage.
Gordon is not the only former
Jayhawk hoping to make an NFL
team. Linebacker Nick Reid is
playing with the Chiefs and wide
receiver Mark Simmons is hoping
to make the San Diego Chargers
roster.
Defensive ends Charlton Keith
and Jermial Ashley also partici-
pated in NFL camps. Keith failed
a physical, however, and Ashley
was cut.
Sprint Center receives big

Kansas Citys new Sprint Cen-

Te Big 12 Conference mens
basketball tournament will be held
in the arena in 2008. Te Big Eight
tournament was held annually at
Kansas Citys Kemper Arena, but
the Big 12 has rotated its tourna-
ment between Kansas City, Dallas
and Oklahoma City.
Assistant Big 12 Commissioner
of Communications Bob Burda
said that Kansas City could again
become the permanent home of
the event, although such a move
has not been discussed at length.
Te American Airlines Arena
in Dallas drew rave reviews for its
modern facilities, but the tourna-
ment received little fan support.
Kansas City is a terrifc site for
the Big 12. Te fan support is great.
Te city really gets behind the tour-
nament, associate athletics direc-
tor Jim Marchiony told the Kansan.
Dallas was a good host city, but
there wasnt as much fan support.
