Two people died, one was injured

and three are missing after an early
morning fire Sunday at 1205 New
Jersey St.
As firefighters shuffled outside
the blackened hull, family mem-
bers stood off to the side. Neighbors
and passers-by pushed up against
the Fire Line Do Not Cross tape,
straining for a look at the still-smol-
dering remains of the house.
At a press conference, Mark
Bradford, chief of the Lawrence
Douglas County fire and medical
department, said the department had
positively identified the bodies of
Charles Glover Sr., 66, and Mariyana
Johnson, 13 months. Bradford said
the two were related, but he declined
to comment on the specifics.
Learlean Hooks, the owner of the
home, was rescued and hospitalized.
She was listed in good condition
Sunday evening.
Three children are missing.
The names and ages of the miss-
ing children have not been released.
Bradford said rescue workers are
working under the assumption they
are looking for three bodies.
The deadly house fire comes
just three weeks before the one-
year anniversary of the Boardwalk
Apartments fire, which killed three
people.
Red Cross helpers sat a desk diag-
onal from the remains as small semi-
circles of family members alterna-
tively hugged, cried and stared into
the distance.
As of 7 p.m., rescue workers were
still attempting to make the house
safe for entry. The investigation will
begin once the building is deemed
safe.
Terry Stafford, Glovers nephew,
stood with his infant son in his arms,
staring at the wreckage. He pushed
his hat back on his head and gazed
with somber brown eyes at the disar-
ray in front of him.
We lost loved ones, Stafford said.
Its huge. He didnt hurt anybody.
He helped out the best he could with
everyone.
My uncle cared a lot.
Stafford said he received a call at
about 2:30 a.m. that his uncles house
was on fire. By the time he arrived
at the hospital, he said his uncle had
already died.
Other immediate family members
declined comment to the media.
The two-story house was com-
pletely blackened except the south
wall. Wisps of smoke still crept out
from piles of rubble more than 14
hours after the blaze was under con-
trol.
The southern side of the house
had completely collapsed and the
front porch had caved in on itself.
Only beams and struts showed
through the north side. The front
facade of the house leaned precari-
ously against the remaining support
beams.
Kathleen McVay, Lawrence
resident and
neighbor of
the victims,
said she awoke
at about one in
the morning to
see what she
called a wall
of flames.
I went
downstairs and
I saw these massive flames, McVay
said. The air was so thick with
smoke it was impossible to see what
was happening.
Neighbors said they woke up to
what they thought was someone
dropping furniture in the home next
door. Two neighbors managed to
pull Hooks from the home after they
realized none of the family members
were outside.
The neighbors said they quickly
realized there was no way they were
going to be able to help anyone else
without professionals.
The investigation is still underway.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Hawks, Cops and
Kids program a hit
Law enforcement, KU athletes aid
in Big Brothers Big Sisters event
By david linhardt
Nicolas Johnson was sur-
prised when he stepped into Allen
Fieldhouse Saturday morning.
Johnson, a 13-year-old middle
school student from Leavenworth
had the opportunity to play bas-
ketball with several members of
the mens and womens basketball
teams. He didnt know they would
be there.
You get to see them on TV dur-
ing games, but seeing them in per-
son is even better, Johnson said.
Johnson came to Allen
Fieldhouse Saturday morning with
more than 150 other participants
in Big Brothers Big Sisters pro-
grams from the Kansas City area
for the third-annual Hawks, Cops
and Kids event.
Several law enforcement agen-
cies, including the KU Public
Safety office and the Lawrence
Police Department, took part in
the event alongside KU athletes.
The event was free for children in
Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Local businesses sponsored the
event and set out snacks for the
children as they arrived.
Organizers hoped the morn-
ing of learning stations and sports
drills would get the participants
better acquainted with their favor-
ite athletes and local police.
They usually see us in uniforms
and in cars, said Capt. Schuyler
Bailey, KU Public Safety office
spokesman. This gives them the
chance to spend time with us in a
very relaxed environment.
At 9 a.m., children waiting in
the bleachers at the Fieldhouse
were shouting at the mens bas-
ketball players, Dunk it! Cmon,
dunk it!
Freshman guard Sherron Collins
and freshman forward Darrell
Arthur held off at first, but soon
grinned and gave in to the dunk-
ing demands. After several crowd-
pleasing dunks from Arthur, one
Graduation rate in Kansas

State one of 24 to receive B-plus or
higher for college completion rates
By kiM lynch
U.S. colleges are falling behind
internationally in college comple-
tion rates, but the state of Kansas is
holding its own.
According to a study from the
National Center for Public Policy
and Higher Education, U.S. col-
leges rank 16th out of 27 nations
in the amount of students who
complete college degrees or certifi-
cation programs.
In the report, only 24 out of
the 50 states in the U.S. received
a B-plus or higher for college
completion rates. Kansas was one
of the 24 states.
According to the study, Kansas
received a B-plus in completion
rates for college because 74 percent
of freshmen at four-year colleges
and universities return for their
sophomore year.
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for
administration and finance, said
the study should prompt the U.S.
to look at structural problems
within its education system and at
how students are being prepared
for college.
Kansas received an F from
the study in affordability because
college in Kansas has become
less affordable, especially for low-
income families.
Eakin said the University is in
the last year of the tuition-enhance-
ment plan which increased tuition
for five years. The University tried
to meet the problem of pricing
out low-income students by setting

Bugling Jayhawk,has lived in Lawrence all of his 55 years, and is part of the Wescoe Underground staf.
By nate McGinnis
Crews have installed a temporary
generator at Wescoe Hall to restore
power to the building.
The power outage was the result
of a center coil failure in an electri-
cal transformer. The coil failed as a
result of age.
Todd Cohen, interim director of
University Relations, said the gen-
erator would remain in place until
a new transformer could be ordered
and installed in one to two months.
The new transformer is expected
to cost $60,000 to $80,000, Cohen
said.
Cohen said the building opened
for activities Saturday.
Classes were canceled Friday, but
will continue as scheduled today.

Moms car repossessed
with 5-year-old son inside
WILMINGTON, Del. A 5-
year-old boy took an unexpected
ride when the car he was in was
repossessed and driven to a car
dealership, authorities said.
A 27-year-old woman called po-
lice Friday morning to report that
her car had been stolen from in
front of her home, and that her son
was inside the vehicle, said county
police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad
Navarro.
Navarro said the woman had
strapped the child into his booster
seat, then went back inside her
home to make a phone call.
Believing that the 1997 Saturn
most likely had been repossessed,
ofcers called the dealership,
where an employee confrmed
the repossession but did not
know anything about the missing
child.
The employee then walked
outside and found the child crying
in the back seat of the vehicle,
Navarro said.
The 56-year-old repo man
was taken into custody but later
transported to Christiana Hospital
after complaining of chest pains.
The man, whose name was not
released, will not face charges,
Navarro said.

Carrying on the nations second
oldest homecoming festivities is not
a task that the 16 members of the
University of Kansas Homecoming
Steering Committee take lightly.
The group of students has been
hard at work since January to assure
that the week of Sept. 30 through
Oct. 7 will be special for both past
and present KU students, as well as
the entire Lawrence community.
People dont realize that its a
week-long event, said Jennifer
Denny, Homecoming co-director
and Plano, Texas, junior.
Such dedication has reversed the
recent fate of this autumn tradition,
which began in 1912. The event saw
its popularity wane in the 1990s
when responsibility for planning the
celebration was entirely in the hands
of University employees.
The student-led committee
emerged in 2000 and has since
revamped what was once just a foot-
ball game into a week-long celebra-
tion of Jayhawk spirit.
From choosing the theme to the
food people will devour on Wescoe
Beach during the eating contest
hot dogs this year, an intentional
departure from last years decidedly
rich pumpkin pie the committee
is responsible for shaping the atmo-
sphere on campus and enlivening
the present Jayhawk population.
Students know more what stu-
dents want, and homecoming
isnt just for alumni, Denny said.
The steering committee wants to
get current students excited about
homecoming so its something they
remember fondly when they move
on.
Denny said that she hoped to see
more student groups join in this
years Homecoming events, and that
she expected the recent changes to
the participation points system to
make involvement more appealing
to a larger number of organizations.
The points system encompasses
student groups and rewards them
with points for their participation
in homecoming festivities. Winners
are announced during the weekends
football game.
This year, groups will be split
into two categories: Greek Life and
Student Life. Denny predicted that
this adjustment would attract smaller
student groups that may have felt
overpowered amongst seasoned
greek competitors in previous years.
A representative from any orga-
nization interested in participating
should visit homecoming.ku.edu
to download the information
packet. Registration forms are due
Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. to Room
400 in the Kansas Union.
As kick-off day draws near, the
committee is in search of sub-com-
mittee members, whom Denny
described as the extra arms and legs
that help pull everything together.
Sub-committee members will work
primarily at the Spirit Sprint on
Saturday, Sept. 30, and the parade on
Saturday, Oct. 7. Students interested
in sub-committee positions should
e-mail homecoming@ku.edu.
And although this years home-
coming festivities have yet to descend
upon campus, applications for next
years committee will be available at
homecoming.ku.edu before the end
of October.

The members of Tri Mu at the
University of Kansas came together
by chance.
The group isnt a fraternity or
a registered campus organization.
Instead of formally recruiting mem-
bers, the 10 members of Tri Mu
came together mostly as strangers.
They now live together in a house at
1606 Tennessee St.
Chris Gorney, Wichita junior,
said he joined Tri Mu after he decid-
ed not to complete the pledging pro-
cess at a campus fraternity last year.
A few days after Gorney decided
not to pledge his friend from a class
called to ask him if he would like
to live with a few founding Tri Mu
members.
Everyone kind of knew some-
one, Gorney said. Guys came in
knowing at least one other guy and
it kind of grew from there.
Luke Thompson, Louisburg
junior, said Tri Mu formed in the
spring semester of 2005 as Mu Mu
Music, titled for the founding mem-
bers musical interests. The group
evolved into a collective of friends
interested in music and sharing a
Christian faith, but changed the
name to make the title shorter.
Tri Mu members said partici-
pating in the group and living at
the house has fostered a greater
relationship and understanding of
active Christianity. Paul Hefferon,
Overland Park junior, lived in the
house last semester and said it gave
him an opportunity to delve deeper
into his faith.
I probably grew more in my
relationship with Jesus while I lived
at Tri Mu than any other time in my
life, Hefferon said. God showed
me that He created so many differ-
ent people that play wildly different
yet equally crucial roles in His king-
dom, and He showed me the joy that
can be had in loving people for who
they are rather than what they have
to offer you.
At Tri Mu, members bond with
the Bible. Thompson said he enjoys
being able to hang around an alco-
hol-free and Christian environment.
Tri Mu members are also involved
in Christian campus organizations,
such as Campus Crusade for Christ.
Tri Mu is a relaxed environment
and members dont have formal
meetings or required events. Though
the group remains unstructured for
the most part, Hefferon said that he
formed relationships with his fellow
members.
No matter what happens in my
life, for the better or worse, I have
guys that will always love and sup-
port me and that I can fill that
role for them too, Hefferon said.
I love going over to the house just
to be around them because their
spirit and energy is contagious and
you can feel Gods love resonating
through the entire house.
Thompson agreed with
Hefferon.
I would not want to live any-
where else, he said.

of the kids said loudly that Collins
must not be able to dunk.
Collins then bounced passed
to himself off the backboard and
tried several high-flying dunks.
At 5-foot-11, Collins is nearly a
foot shorter than Arthur, and the
onlookers were suitably impressed
with his attempts.
Collins said he never had the
chance to do what these children
were doing, which was playing ball
at a major university with the teams
players.
We want to show them that to
get to the big stage, youve got to
work hard, Collins said. You have
to be dedicated to it.
Children listened to police offi-
cers give instruction about drug
abuse, Internet safety and strang-
ers. Athletes mingled with children
during the breaks between sessions
and held drills like running pat-
terns on a football field or dribbling
a basketball backwards.
Anytime you can give a posi-
tive message in a positive atmo-
sphere like this, its great, said Greg
Skelton, a narcotics officer at the

Eakin said the University suc-

ment for low-income students
was similar to the rates before the

in place.
Roland Friedmann, Stuttgart,

were probably a variety of reasons
involved. She said a few reasons
could be that colleges are becoming
more expensive, students are work-
ing more, pressure is being put on

police arrest a third person
Student steps forward to give name in school shooting plot
By ROBERT IMRIE
AssOcIATEd PREss
GREEN BAY, Wis. Police have
arrested a third person in a foiled
Columbine-style plan to bomb and
shoot students at a high school,
investigators said Saturday.
Two 17-year-olds were arrested
Thursday at East High School after
a student went to an associate prin-
cipal. A detective said Friday that
one boy wanted to enact the plan
Thursday but that the other talked
him out of it.
Bradley P. Netwal, 18, was arrested
Friday on suspicion of conspiracy to
commit homicide and conspiracy to
commit arson, according to a police
department news release Saturday.
Police learned from interviews
that Netwal, a former student at the
school and a friend of the 17-year-
olds, participated in the planning,
police said.
William C. Cornell and Shawn
R. Sturtz were arrested Thursday on
suspicion of conspiracy to commit
first-degree intentional homicide
and conspiracy to commit arson.

John Zakowski said he planned to
file charges on Thursday.
Court Commissioner Jane Sequin
ordered Cornell and Sturtz jailed
on $500,000 bond Friday, and the
three were being held in the Brown
County jail. Netwal was scheduled
to make an initial court appearance
Monday.
Cornells lawyer, Shane Brabazon,
did not immediately return mes-
sages Saturday. No one answered the
door Saturday at Cornells home and
no phone number could be found
for Netwal.
East High School Principal Ed
Dorff said Saturday he was not sur-
prised by the third arrest.
I dont know how much deeper
this goes, he said. We knew there
was contact with others. We didnt
know the level of contact.
Meanwhile, the mother of one
of the suspects told The Associated
Press on Saturday that the boys were
victims of bullying and harassment
at school.
Elizabeth Sturtz, 48, said her 300-
pound son who has a learning dis-
ability was often bullied and that she
understands how he could have been
angry. But she said she saw no signs
that he would plot such an attack.
Im glad they are in jail and I
am not going to their funerals. I
am sorry they are there, she said.
I am grateful for the kid who came
forward.
Superintendent Daniel Nerad
said that he didnt know the specif-
ics of the teens situation but that the
school district has made stopping
bullying a priority and has a strong
stance against it.
Police Detective Tom Molitor tes-
tified at a hearing Friday that the
17-year-olds, who are seniors, told
police they had been plotting the
massacre for several years.
They planned to set off bombs
near bathrooms, light exits on fire
with jelled gasoline so no one could
escape and shoot people they had
problems with, Molitor said.
Police found nine rifles and shot-
guns, a handgun, about 20 crudely
made explosive devices, camouflage
clothing, gas masks, two-way radios
and hundreds of rounds of ammuni-
tion at Cornells house, police Capt.
Lisa Sterr said. She said Cornell
had made several of the improvised
explosive devices about two months
ago.
At Sturtzs home, police found
knives and ammunition, Sterr said.
Police said they also found man-
nequin heads that appeared to have
been used for target practice, and
suicide notes.
No dangerous materials were
found at the school, Sterr said.
Tiffany Brittain, 18, said Saturday
that she hung out with Sturtz and
Cornell and that she heard them
talking about suicide and attacking
the school.
I thought they were joking. I
never took it seriously, she said.

Suspect arrested in kidnapping,
girl rescued after texting her mother
By JEFFREy COLLINS
ASSOCIAtEd PRESS
LUGOFF, S.C. A man suspect-
ed of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl
and keeping her in an underground
bunker was charged Sunday with
raping the teen, Kershaw County
Sheriff Steve McCaskill said.
Kershaw County Sheriff Steve
McCaskill said Vinson Filyaw had
eluded police with an elaborate
system of hideouts and bunkers
since November 2005 when he was
charged with criminal sexual con-
duct on a 12-year-old girl.
He surrendered Sunday morn-
ing to police as he walked along
Interstate 20 near Columbia, about
five miles from where investigators
found the teenager.
Police say Filyaw, 36, abducted
the girl as she walked home from a
school bus stop on Sept. 6.
Investigators arrested Filyaw in
neighboring Richland County about
24 hours after rescuing the girl, who
sent a text message to her mother on
Filyaws phone while he was asleep
Wednesday, McCaskill said. The
sheriff said Filyaw woke up and the
girl still had the phone, but she told
him she was simply playing with the
phone.
Investigators used cell towers to
determine a general location of the
phone and deputies began searching
for Filyaw on Friday night. McCaskill
said the girl cried out as searchers
approached the bunker.
This little lady getting that mes-
sage out was really the break in the
case, the sheriff said. She helped
herself as much as we helped her.
Police say they still have not inter-
viewed the girl, whose name was
previously released when she was
a missing person. The Associated
Press is not using her name because
police have identified her as a victim
of sexual assault.
The girl was found Saturday
about a mile from her home, hid-
den in a booby-trapped, 15-foot-
deep hole carved out of the side of
a hill and covered with plywood.
The bunker had a hand-dug privy
with toilet paper, a camp stove and
shelves made with cut branches and
canvas.
McCaskill said it looked like
Filyaw was trying to dig another
bunker under that one as a pos-
sible backup hiding place, but had to
abandon it when it filled with water.
Filyaw had dug two bunkers in
his own yard and two in the woods
and had used them to hide out since
he was charged in the assault case in
November.
His girlfriend Cynthia Hall has
been charged as an accessory and
with neglect in the earlier case,
McCaskill said. Investigators say she
allowed the earlier assault to take
place in her home and provided
Filyaw with supplies to live in the
bunker.
Police were tipped off to Filyaws
location Sunday after getting a call
from a woman who said he tried to
carjack her about 2 a.m. outside a
pizza restaurant, authorities said.
Filyaw was on foot about five
miles from his house carrying a pel-
let gun, a Taser and a long hunting
knife when police captured him. He
gave up easily, McCaskill said, add-
ing that he doesnt think the suspect
had any help escaping.
If he had help, he would have got-
ten much farther away, McCaskill
said.
Filyaw was being held Sunday at
the Kershaw County jail. The sheriff
said he was not aware of Filyaw hav-
ing an attorney.
Investigators said Filyaw posed as
a police officer when he met the 14-
year-old girl and the teen was walked
around in the woods by her captor
until she became disoriented.

Shuttle departs
from space station
By RASHA MAdKOUR
ASSOCIAtEd PRESS
HOUSTON Space shuttle
Atlantis pulled away from the inter-
national space station Sunday for
a return trip to Earth after its six
astronauts bade farewell to the resi-
dents of the orbiting lab with hugs,
handshakes and the traditional ring-
ing of a bell.
The crew of Atlantis is depart-
ing, station resident Jeff Williams
radioed to Mission Control in
Houston.
Pilot Chris Ferguson carefully
eased Atlantis through a tight cor-
ridor away from the station. About
450 feet away, he fired jets to maneu-
ver Atlantis around the space lab so
the crew could take photos of their
handiwork - a newly expanded sta-
tion. The space station gleamed in
the reflection of the sun.
I hope you guys have a nice view
up there, Mission Control radioed.
It has been years since NASA and
its international partners have gotten
a complete view of the orbiting space
lab, and the space station is quite dif-
ferent from how Atlantis crew found
it six days ago.
In three arduous spacewalks with
the blue-green Earth as a backdrop,
the crew unpacked and installed a 17
1/2-ton addition which contained a
pair of solar wings that will ultimate-
ly generate a quarter of the space
stations power.
The wings are the first addition to
the orbiting space lab since the 2003
Columbia disaster. NASA will affix
two more pairs of solar wings on the
space station before it is completed
in 2010.
The crew woke up to Kenny
Loggins Danger Zone. Pilot Chris
Ferguson, whose family request-
ed the song for him, told Mission
Control in Houston: Thats great
music for ... what will be a bitter-
sweet day for us today, undocking
from the station.
The crew spent the earlier part
of their day hauling supplies and
equipment from their spacecraft to
the station, and getting ready for the
undocking and fly-around.
Atlantis returns to Earth
Wednesday morning after 11 days
in space. The next space station
mission dedicated to construction is
slated to leave Earth in December.
Atlantis will return to Earth Wednesday
after work to expand space station

E. coli
outbreak
kills one
California spinach
sickens 102 people
By JUStIN M. NORtON
ASSOCIAtEd PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Federal
agents from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention intervened
this weekend to help investigate an
E. coli outbreak tied to tainted spin-
ach from Californias Salinas Valley.
The greens, which appear to be
grown by the worlds largest produc-
er of organic produce, have sickened
102 people, including the death of
a 77-year-old woman, according to
health officials.
CDC officials said Sunday theyve
started an Atlanta-based emergency
operations center to help state health
agencies with E. coli testing.
Epidemiologists are helping test
spinach samples and stool samples
of those who have been infected,
center spokeswoman Lola Russell
said.
The center is helping when state
health agencies cant perform the
tests or when a second opinion is
needed, Russell said.
E. coli cases linked to tainted
spinach have been reported in 19
states, with a majority of cases in
Wisconsin.
Other states reporting cases
were California, Connecticut,
Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico,
Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming, accord-
ing to the CDC.
The Food and Drug
Administration continued to warn
consumers not to eat fresh spinach
or fresh spinach-containing prod-
ucts until further notice.

KU playmates
dont represent
University
COMMENTARY
Annoying students everywhere
The wait ended last week
when Playboy released the Girls
of the Big 12 issue. The issue
had men ogling and, for some,
featured something to brag
about.
The issue is nothing but
cheap publicity for Playboy.
Unfortunately, it has come to
tarnish the good name of the
University of Kansas.
The issue has now become
some type of competition. As
throngs of people waited for
three of the featured women to
sign copies of the issue, many
took pride in the representation.
It was as though the nine KU
students featured represented
the image of the University.
Its unfortunate that people
will come to associate the
University with topless women.
The photos are not indicative of
the University or its qualities.
Playboys issue now has peo-
ple associating the University
with scantily clad women.
Those who think that hav-
ing nine women in the issue is
something the University should
be proud of should look around.
We have a pretty good mens
basketball team, some highly
decorated professors and nation-
ally recognized professional
schools. Theres more to the
University than just good-look-
ing women.
The college issues have
become way too over played,
anyway. Every year Playboy
picks a conference to feature,
and every year people go out
and buy it.
Its the same old song and
dance and its getting a little old.
Find a new way to market to
young college males and stop
sending the wrong image about
our University.
Louis Mora for the editorial
board.
In response to Adam Lockridges
letter Morals, law are one, he is
absolutely correct to assert that most
countries, regardless of political sys-
tem, have legislated morality. It is
important to realize, however, that
there are certain immoral actions,
such as murder, that are collectively
denounced by nearly all faiths, as
well as by both the religious and the
secularist. There is a clear pluralist
consensus on this issue.
To claim that depriving the coun-
try of its Christian humanism his-
tory would lead to the imposition of
a non-secularist morality. Under
this presumption, someone not fol-
lowing Christian teachings is a non-
secularist even if he may be Jewish,
Buddhist, or of any other faith. It
is absurd to claim certain values
and institutions are Christian-lim-
ited and anything different is non-
secularist, when so many morals
are shared collectively and transcend
religions and labels.
This sort of reasoning is unnec-
essarily polarizing and troublingly
flawed because it seems to claim
there is some sort of Christian man-
date that provides a moral blueprint
that everyone should follow, with no
consideration given to the severity of
the issue in question. Gay marriage
is a civil rights issue that should be
handled irrespective of Bible literal-
ism. Let us not forget the power true
religion can play in such a struggle.

Have you ever sat in class and
thought the person next to you was
really rude? Or how about that time
you were sitting on the bus minding
your own business and that girl next
to you was yelling on her cell phone
about how mad she was at Courtney
for stealing her Friends Season One
DVDs? You know these people.
Theyre all over. Now in my third
year at the University, Ive come to
see these people on an almost daily
basis, and I feel that, as a journalist,
it is my duty to report my findings to
you. Granted, it would probably take
an entire newspaper to report every-
thing, so instead I will just focus on
some of the major types of annoying
people around. Chances are youve
been guilty of behaving this way at
least once. I know I have.
The Last Night group
This is the most rampant group
on campus. These are the people
who for some reason insist on bor-
ing you for hours with their worth-
less and moronic stories from the
night before. Yeah man, I got so
wasted I came home and puked all
over my dog. In a given day, youll
likely hear about 10 of these stories.
Generally, these stories are all the
same. They first involve some place,
usually a bar or someones apart-
ment or house. Next, they include
consumption of alcohol, poor judg-
ment, immaturity and lack of sen-
sible actions.
The disappointing thing about
these stories is that they rarely fea-
ture anything original. No one got so
wasted they repaved their driveway.
No one drank so much that they
translated their entire physics book
into Arabic. So instead were left to
hear the same recycled stories over
and over again.
The people who need to relax
These are the people who are
constantly nervous in class. Any
assignment given to these people
will result in an immediate raised
hand and a slew of questions inter-
rupting class for a good five minutes
or so. You said the paper has to be
450 words. Is 455 ok? Can I have
more then two sources?
These are the type of people who
will study 12 hours for an open-book
quiz on the multiplication tables and
still be shaking nervously the entire
time.
Its not uncommon to see these
people slamming their desks in
agony after finding out their grade
point average was lowered to a 4.6.
Heres a typical conversation
between a nervous person and their
friend:
Nervous student: Ive got to do
well on this English paper or I just
dont know what Ill do!
Sympathetic friend: Wow, this is
a huge problem. But dont worry, you
can do it!
Nervous friend: No I cant! I got
a 93 percent on the last paper. I just
know that might happen again!
The cell-phone phenomenon
Most teachers prohibit cell phones
in class. But this doesnt stop a lot of
students from using them.
First, there are the kids who never
put their phones on silent. I cant
remember how many times Ive been
sitting in class and all of a sudden
I hear In Da Club coming out of
someones backpack. Then there are
the people who think we cant hear
when their phone is on vibrate, as if
we cant hear something vibrating in
your pocket or purse.
Second, there is text messaging.
I cant believe people still think the
teacher doesnt notice that youre
staring at your lap typing something.
Theres no laptop in front of you.
So, the logical conclusion is that
youre text messaging. And chances
are you arent typing to your friend
about what a kickass lecture youre
hearing.
But greater than all of these is the
phenomenon that happens the sec-
ond class is dismissed. Next time you
get dismissed from class, watch how
many people immediately reach for
their cell phones and call someone.
Its as if they were expecting a call
from President Bush or something.
The procrastinators
Procrastinators are funny people
because they tend to think they need
to brag about it, as if procrasti-
nating were difficult. They waited
until the last minute to write their
paper on igneous rocks and they feel
like boasting is necessary to prove
what an amazing student they are. I
didnt write this paper until five min-
utes ago! Well granted, there are
47 typos and Ill probably get an F,
but that doesnt matter because I did
the unthinkable I put something
off until the last second!
I guess all you can do is shake
your head and laugh at annoying
people. Either that or run really fast
across the street and just hope they
dont follow you.

Warning: This column is not for
anyone under the age of 18; anyone
who suffers from being too PC;
or anyone who lives righteously by
morals. I want to declare that ciga-
rettes make you look cool, but only if
you know how to smoke in the sexi-
est way possible. According to the
World Health Organization, tobacco
use is the leading preventable cause
of death, and that the death toll
caused by tobacco-related products
is at nearly five million people a
year. By the year 2020, the number
of deaths will double to ten million a
year if the current smoking patterns
continue.
But, to a smoker, do statistics
matter, or does that warm, oakey,
satisfaction in your mouth and
throat matter more?
Besides the taste, cigarettes and
smoke rings provide an air of mys-
tery. Why would one smoke if he
did not want to be the ultimate in
sexy? People arent stupid. I could
write about cancer, yellowed teeth,
bad skin and other disastrous effects
of lighting ciggies, but those effects
are already known and disregarded.
I could blabber on about being a role
model to children, but that argu-
ment is too clich.
The bottom line is that women
smoke to be as elegant and classy
as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at
Tiffanys. Men smoke to be wild and
mysterious like Brad Pitt in Fight
Club. Besides that, smoking is an
enjoyable activity after a stressful
day. The Marlboro Man embodied
that rugged sexiness one can create
while smoking cigarettes. Although,
ironically, the two actors who por-
trayed him, Wayne McClaren and
David McLean, died of lung cancer,
we as a nation will never forget how
the Marlboro Man taught adults,
teenagers, and children what it really
meant to be cool.
It saddens me to see smokers on
campus not enjoying their cigarettes
correctly. They walk, hunched over,
their cigarettes hanging out of their
mouths. They blow their smoke in
front of us non-smokers and receive
looks of disdain. Smoking while
walking is not alluring. Smoking in
a crowd of non-smokers is worse.
Being annoying is not seductive.
When a person is walking, they
cant really enjoy their cigarette, so
what is the point of wasting one of
those precious, expensive sticks of
wacky tobacky? Put a patch on if
you cant wait to savor the flavor.
Smokers are at their sexiest when
they are outside in a dark corner,
brooding and staring off into the
sky, away from public entrances. It is
at this moment when smokers really
channel their inner Johnny Depp or
Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the
City. Sometimes its sexy to smoke
when giving phone interviews or
creating artwork alone in a studio.
Sometimes its sexy to smoke in an
alleyway in the winter with a greasy
man and a haggard woman, while all
the happy non-smokers are inside.
That is where smoking belongs.
Either when the smoker is alone
or when the smoker is in a dark,
alluring area away from the general
public. Smoking should not be done
while walking on campus, or din-
ing out, or near building entrances.
Receiving dirty looks is not sexy.
According to a call to the Free for
All, the next person who smokes on
campus while walking is unsexily
going to get farted on. Keep that in
mind.
Lo is a cofeyville senior in his-
tory.

The University of Kansas
Monarch Watch held its annual but-
terfly tagging Saturday in front of the
largest crowd in the events history.
Id be willing to bet this beats
our all-time best of 2001, said Orley
Chip Taylor, professor of biolo-
gy. Theres easily been 400 people
today.
The watch is sponsored by the
Department of Biological Sciences.
The event was held at the 573-acre
HaskellBaker Wetlands on 31st
Street east of Louisiana Street, whose
goal is to provide a educationally
sponsored wildlife reserve.
Both students and Lawrence
locals found swarms of butterflies
in the conservations wooded areas,
where hundreds of monarchs floated
in between trees. Once a monarch
was caught, a circular, nine millime-
ter sticker was placed on its wing to
track its migration. The butterflies
will continue their migrating pattern
south, where some will have traveled
as many as 3,000 miles.
Michael Sanders, Topeka senior,
has been involved with Monarch
Watch since his sophomore year
in 2004. He helped with the event
Saturday.
Its an on-campus job thats bene-
ficial, Sanders said. And it gives me
experience doing real life research.
Sanders said its been exciting
to be involved with the program
throughout his college years while
also learning about the different
aspects of the monarchs migration
patterns specifically the timing,
origins and lifespan patterns of the
migration cycle.
Both The New York Times and a
German television crew were present
to film a documentary of Saturdays
event. Taylor hopes that both the
national and international coverage
will increase awareness for the mon-
arch population.
What were trying to do is con-
serve a species by knowing the
dynamics of the population, Taylor
said. To know this is to be able to
frame some sort of process thats
needed to conserve it.
Both Taylor and Sanders recog-
nize the scientific importance of
preserving the monarch population
through their findings and are hop-
ing that after this years increase in
media coverage the American public
will as well.
When youre on a continent
thats losing three to four thousand
acres a day just due to development,
were not going to have much of
a habitat left in another 50 to 100
years, Taylor said. If theres wildlife
out there we cherish, we have to do
something about curbing our appe-
tite for expansion.

Hurricane strengthens to Category 3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI Hurricane Helene
strengthened Sunday into a Category
3 storm in the open Atlantic, becom-
ing the second major hurricane of
the 2006 season, forecasters said.
Helene had top sustained winds
of 115 mph; hurricanes with top sus-
tained winds of at least 111 mph are
considered major hurricanes.
The hurricane did not threaten
land. At 11 p.m. EDT, Helene was
centered about 920 miles east-north-
east of the northern Leeward Islands
and moving northwest at 8 mph,
forecasters said.
Hurricane Gordon, meanwhile,
had been inching over the ocean at
3 mph but picked up speed Sunday,
forecasters said. Its eye was centered
about 1,365 miles west of the Azores
and moving northeast near 14 mph.
It had top sustained winds near
80 mph, up slightly from earlier in
the day.
The National Hurricane Centers
latest forecast for the season expects
between seven and nine hurricanes,
a slight reduction from earlier pre-
dictions.
Scientists said this week that weak
El Nino conditions had inhibited
hurricane development by bring-
ing higher ocean temperatures
that increase crosswinds over the
Caribbean. The winds can rip storms
apart or stop them from forming.
But National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration scien-
tists warned that the El Nino effect
on hurricanes has been small so
far.

overview
of season
Are difficult subjects like chemis-
try and literature getting you down?
Need to add a couple more hours to
your schedule this semester?
The University of Kansas School
of Football (FBAL) just released its
fall course schedule. Youll want to
enroll soon, as the most popular
classes are sure to fill up quickly.
Some highlights:
FbaL 722: the shovel pass
In this graduate-level course,
professor and offensive coordinator
Nick Quartaro will show you how
anyone can turn a simple run play
into an exciting adventure with two
simple words: shovel pass.
FbaL 503: second guessing
Professors Dave Pasch and Rod
Gilmore from ESPN2 will teach
you how to elevate second guess-
ing to an art form, and shame your
entire profession in the process. By
the end of the course, youll be able
to imitate gems like this one, after
Kansas fumbled in the first over-
time: Was that the right decision,
not to kick the field goal on first
down?
Note: Students must provide their
own foam swords.
FbaL 301: turnovers
Learn why the other team should
always be able to finish its drive,
no matter how easy an interception
might be.
Note: Class meets for extended
hours on Friday nights
FbaL 112: calculating your salary
Graduate teaching assistant
Charles Gordon will teach students
how to live cheaply as an NFL prac-
tice-squad player by clipping cou-
pons and asking starters, Are you
done with that?
FbaL 605: talk like a coach
A comprehensive study in saying
nothing in as many words as pos-
sible. Professor Mark Mangino will
guide you as you write your 15-page
thesis using phrases like we gave
110 percent today and weve just
got to keep sawing wood.
FbaL 308: the art of scheduling
Learn how small schools can
subsidize their athletics depart-
ment simply by losing at football.
Final exam will involve mak-
ing a mock schedule using only
schools named Tech, State,
International or any two cardinal
directions.
FbaL 410: agonizing road losses
Not quite ready to win on the
road? Mangino shows you how to
handle being within a year of turn-
ing the corner. Class meets five
times during the semester.
Prerequisite: FBAL 210: Ugly road
losses.
FbaL 002: criminology
Avoid common mistakes by
studying arrested athletes from
Jayhawk past. Professor Mario
Kinsey will lead a comprehensive
case study of Dion Rayford, the
270-pound defensive end who got
stuck in a Taco Bell drive-thru win-
dow after employees forgot to give
him his chalupa.

T
OLEDO, Ohio It was a loss two weeks
in the making.
After winning its first two games
despite turnovers and a sloppy offense,
Kansas was unable to overcome itself on Friday, fall-
ing to Toledo 37-31 in double overtime.
The Jayhawks turned the ball over five times,
including four interceptions at crucial times by
freshman quarterback Kerry Meier. Those turn-
overs led to 22 points for Toledo. It was the offenses
mistakes that kept Toledo hanging around until
overtime.
After Kansas defense had held Toledo scoreless
on the initial possession of the first overtime, all the
Jayhawks had to do was line up and kick a field goal
for the win. They had the ball at the 25 yard line,
well within range for junior kicker Scott Webb.
On a play that was confirmed by both Meier
and senior running back Jon Cornish as a run,
Kansas made the most critical mistake of the game.
As Meier went to hand off the ball to Cornish, the
handoff slipped between the two, bouncing on the
ground before it was recovered by Toledo.
It hit my hip, Cornish said. I wasnt expecting
him to hand it off.
Just like that, on a play Kansas coach Mark
Mangino called basic, an attempt at a nearly sure-
fire field goal was gone.
Just a week ago, critical mistakes by Kansas kept
Louisiana-Monroe in the game until late in the
fourth quarter. The same thing happened Saturday,
but this time those errors added up to Kansas first
loss of the season.
Mangino said he was baffled by his teams strug-
gle to hang onto the ball.
Youre not going to win any time you have five
turnovers in a game, he said. Weve just got to be
smarter taking care of the football.
While Kansas turnovers in regulation certainly
helped keep Toledo in the game, it was the turn-
overs in overtime that cost Kansas the game.
On Kansas drive in the second overtime, Meier
telegraphed his pass to Toledos cornerback Bo
Martin. Martin sat back in coverage at the near the
goal line watching the quarterbacks eyes. Martin
darted into the route and snagged the pass at the
about the five-yard line and ran it back to midfield
before Meier knocked him out of bounds.
Toledo scored the game-winning touchdown on
the next play.
The Jayhawks looked good at times on offense,
especially with Meier and Cornish running the ball.
But for too much of the night, mistakes in key situ-
ations cost the Jayhawks. Meier struggled with his
accuracy all night, throwing numerous passes short
or low of his intended receivers.

The football team wasnt the only team to struggle this weekend.

Texas Longhorns in front of a sellout crowd at the Horejsi Family
athletics center saturday night.
The soccer team came into the weekend ranked no. 18, but that
ranking will likely drop after the Jayhawks allowed unranked Pep-
perdine to score three second-half goals in a come-from-behind
victory. The team was able to end the weekend with a victory, shut-
ting out central Florida 2-0 in a sunday afternoon game.

Kansas splits weekend games
No. 18 Jayhawks defeat Central Florida, lose to Pepperdine
By Mark Dent
Jessica Bush put an exclama-
tion point on the Jayhawks victory
against the Central Florida Knights
in a slightly unorthodox fashion
Sunday. The sophomore midfielder
didnt even realize what was hap-
pening during the play when she
scored the final goal of Kansas 2-0
victory.
Gosh, everything happened so
fast, she said. It was kind of a weird
situation.
The strange circumstance started
in the 59th minute. Bush chased
down a high-flying ball that was
kicked from midfield all the way
to the goal box. The charging Bush
nearly collided with Central Florida
goalkeeper Jennifer Manis. Bush
distracted Manis with her attack
and caused the ball to ricochet off
Manis chest and toward the feet of
nearby Holly Gault. The senior mid-
fielder had an open look but passed
it to Bush in the center of the box.
Bush proceeded to kick the ball into
the wide-open net.
We just both kind of went in and
moved around the box well, Bush
said. I got open and it was lucky.
The goal was Bushs first of the
season, and the 2-0 victory gave
No. 18 Kansas (5-2-0) some breath-
ing room. The game helped Kansas
recover from a disappointing 3-1 loss
against the Pepperdine University
Waves Friday.
On Sunday, the Jayhawks had
possession of the ball for what
seemed like the entire game. Their
offense shot the ball 21 times, eight
of which were shots on goal. Gault
and Bush were also involved in
Kansas first-half goal.
Gault collected a pass from
Bush in mid-run, chipped it over a
defender and flipped the ball above
the goalie, who had tried to stop
Gault by running at her.
Id been working on tipping it
over the goalkeeper all week, Gault
said. I got the opportunity and
wanted to put it in the back of the
net.
The two goals were the highlights
of a game that Kansas coach Mark
Francis said was his teams best of
the season.
But Francis added that it was the
defense that did most of the work.
The offense was able to pos-
sess the ball for most of the game
because the defenders cleared the
ball quickly every time the Knights
invaded the Jayhawks backfield.
The Kansas defenders held
Central Florida to only three shots
on goal, which sophomore goal-
keeper Julie Hanley saved for her
second shutout of the season.
Julie commanded the box and
the defenders fed off of that, Francis
said. We forced them to make pass-
es they didnt want to make and
picked them off.
Kansas best 90 minutes, accord-
ing to Francis, came after its argu-
ably worst 90 minutes. The Jayhawks
could do little right against the
Waves on Friday night. Pepperdine
quickly dissolved a 1-0 Kansas half-
time lead by scoring three goals in
the second half.
We threw it away in the second
half, Francis said. We didnt play
with the same intensity and gave
them the game.
Fridays poor performance made
Sundays game against Central
Florida crucial, and Kansas response
was more than adequate in the eyes
of Francis. He said his team needed
this game before starting conference
play next weekend.
We talked about learning from
Fridays mental mistakes before
the game, Francis said. Today we
didnt make those mistakes, and that
is important for our confidence.

Volleyball 0-3
By Drew Davison
If everything is bigger in Texas,
then that surely includes volleyball
players. With six players listed at 6-
feet-3 or taller, No. 5 Texas (7-2, 2-0
Big 12) had no problem sweeping
Kansas (7-4, 0-2) Saturday night at
the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
I have not seen a taller team than
that, Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
After the match, Kansas players
said Texas was the best team they
had played so far. Bechard agreed
that Texas matched up favorably
with the Nebraska team that swept
Kansas earlier in the week.
I dont want to get Nebraska
upset, but theyre one of the best
teams in the country, Bechard said
of Texas. There is no question.
This season, Texas has defeated
defending national champion and
current No. 3 Washington, as well as
No. 4 Santa Clara.
The key now is, hey, who is
going to beat Texas or Nebraska
in this league anyway, unless they
beat themselves. Bechard said. Lets
move on and the next three or four
weeks, weve got matches that are
winnable if we play well.
Texas won all three matches by
the same score, 30-18. Texas com-
mitted just nine attack errors, for a
stellar .458 hitting percentage, com-
pared with Kansas .176.
We just played a team that was in
a real good offensive system tonight
and everything we tried just wasnt
good enough, Bechard said.
Texas also dominated Kansas in
blocks, Texas had eight team blocks
and Kansas had three.
Theyre so physical at the net
blocking, Katie Martincich, fresh-
man setter, said. At every position,
they just have strong players.
Martincich led the Kansas offense
with 23 assists.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter,
was the lone Jayhawk with double-
digit kills, a match-high 14.
Consistently during the match,
the Longhorns were able to string
together long runs, while the
Jayhawks never found their offen-
sive rhythm.
In game one, with the score tied at
11, Texas went on a 19-7 run, includ-
ing seven unanswered points to win.
Texas led by as much as 14 in
game two, thanks in large part to
freshman Destinee Hooker, who led
the team with five kills.
To complete the sweep, Texas
started game three with six unan-
swered points. Texas outhit Kansas,
.517 to .147.
After consecutive matches against
No. 1 Nebraska and No. 5 Texas,
Kansas will now face a less dominat-
ing stretch in its schedule.
Kansas will try to notch its first
conference victory when it takes on
Texas A&M (7-3, 0-2) at 7 p.m.
Wednesday at the Horejsi Center.
Game Notes:
With 14 kills, Correa has had dou-
ble-digit kills a team-high eight times.
Martincich was the only Jayhawk
to record a service ace. The ace tied
the second game at seven.

By Jeff Deters
Even a sold-out crowd of 1,300
could not propel the Kansas Jayhawks
to victory against the No. 5 Texas
Longhorns.
The volleyball team tried to get
fans out by offering giveaways such
as a signed volleyball, T-shirts and
rally towels. The effort was success-
ful, though the team was not.
Texas swept the game, 3-0, and
won all three games easily by a score
of 30-18. Though the Jayhawks had
trouble scoring throughout the game,
fans were still supportive. When
the Jayhawks made a point, the PA
announcer would say Point KU!
and the KU crowd would repeat the
phrase and loudly stomp their feet
twice, every time.
Many KU administrators and ath-
letes were in attendance to support
the women, including sophomore
forward Julian Wright.
Wright said he has been a regular
fan at home volleyball games this
season. He said showing his support
for KU athletics is really just himself
being part of the community.
Its a great atmosphere tonight.
Whether it is basketball, football or
whatever, everyone is real support-
ive, Wright said.
With Texas leading 17-11 in the
first game, the chant of Lets go
Jayhawks! echoed from the crowd.
Grant Taylor, Aurora, Ill., junior and
Dave Kaleba, Naperville, Ill., junior
led the cheer. The two would also
yell at the opposing team when play-
ers went to serve.
Kaleba said trying to disrupt the
opposing team is something he and
his friends have been doing since
high school.
Volleyball is the kind of sport
where you can get in the heads of
the players, Kaleba said. Theres
not 10,000 people like in football.
And the court is more conducive to
taunting and heckling.
Emily Brown, junior right side
hitter/setter, appreciated the packed
facility even though the teams per-
formance was not what the capacity
crowd had hoped for.
Theres so many people here,
Brown said. Its always nice to see
everyone up in the stands. We get a
lot of support, it really does help.
Coach Ray Bechard thought if the
Jayhawks could gain momentum,
the crowd would perhaps carry the
Jayhawks to a victory.
We just didnt get a chance to get
them engaged very much, Bechard
said. I told the team if we get to a
20-20 game or a 25-25 game, obvi-
ously the crowd gets more involved.
But it was great to see the stands full.
Thats for sure.

Kansas 31
Toledo 37
September 15, 2006
J.D. Pooley/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas Jon Cornish is stopped by Toledos Nigel Morris and Steve Morrison, back, during the football game Friday inToledo, Ohio. Cornish rushed for 89 yards against the Rockets.
quotable
I guess the upside is, if
we were losing at home
all the time, nobody
would talk about the
road losses.
Mark Mangino
Theres a lot of stuf we
need to do. Anytime you
turn the ball over six or
seven times, you cant
win the ball game.
Kerry Meier
Ill tell you the truth, its
my fault too. We made
those mistakes. Theres
no way I should have let
that happen.
Mark Mangino
We came over here
expecting a good game.
We under performed.
Jon Cornish
After playing well in his first two
games, Meier made some errors par-
tially because of his inexperience. He
struggled some, yet made a few key
plays, including a head-first dive to
tie the game late in the fourth quar-
ter. As quarterback, Meier said, its
his responsibility to run the offense,
and took blame for the mistakes.
Im the one trying to lead the
squad, Meier said. Well right this
ship, and put this one behind us.
The loss dropped Kansas to 3-18
on the road under Mangino. The
teams last road victory came nearly
23 months ago against Missouri. The
talk about his teams road struggles
appears to have become a point of
frustration for the coach.
Ill be very honest with you, Im
not obsessed with this road thing,
Mangino said. Did we fumble the
ball in overtime because we were on
a strange field? No, we just couldnt
execute.
Notes:
Junior kicker Scott Webb is now
0-for-2 on the season after missing
a 48-yard field goal Friday night.
The kick would have tied a career-
high. Tucker also missed a 28-yard
attempt against Northwestern State
in the season opener.
It wasnt all bad news surround-
ing Meiers performance Friday. The
quarterback was effective rushing
the ball, gaining 57 yards on 19
carries. Meier ran for the score on
Kansas first drive, a 12 yard scamper
down the left sideline.
Junior Marcus Henry started
at wide receiver instead off senior
Dominic Roux, who had started the
first two games. Henry finished the
game with four catches for 67 yards,
including a 33-yard touchdown.
Kerry Meiers four interceptions
were a career-high, and also rank as
the second most in a game in Kansas
history.

Schneider can be contacted at

fOOTbAll (continued from 1b)
By ShAWn ShRoyeR
University of Kansas alumnus
Dennis Blackwood had finished his
meal at Molly McGees nearly a half
an hour earlier, but instead of paying
his bill and going home, he and his
friends moved to a vacant table for
a better view of the televised Kansas
vs. Toledo game.
Even though Toledo went into
halftime with the lead and the
momentum, Blackwood had a feeling
Kansas would turn things around.
Toledo looked pretty cocky, so
hopefully we can make a comeback,
Blackwood said.
He added that the Kansas second-
ary would shut down Toledo soph-
omore quarterback Clint Cochran
in the second half and that Kansas
freshman quarterback Kerry Meier
would struggle as the pressure of his
first collegiate road game mount-
ed. He was proven right on both
counts.
Kansas held Cochran to three
completions on 18 attempts for four
yards in the second half and over-
time. As a result, Toledo didnt con-
vert a single first down during that
span.
Meier threw two interceptions in
the fourth quarter with the game
in the balance and was picked off
in overtime when he inexplicably
under threw his receiver in the end
zone.
A few blocks away from Molly
McGees, Larned natives Trent
Hagerman, junior, Realle Roth,
junior, and Sarah Best, sophomore,
watched from Roth and Bests apart-
ment as Kansas added yet another
loss to its road resume.
Hagerman noticed that Meier
looked tentative in all of his passing
attempts after his third interception
was returned 84 yards for a touch-
down by freshman cornerback Barry
Church. Roth and Best chalked
Meiers performance up to youth.
The road loss was nothing new to
Kansas football, although the Friday
night game was a change of pace
for Molly McGees, 2412 Iowa St.
The restaurant was at 60 to 70 per-
cent capacity, but an employee said
the Kansas game attracted a larger
crowd than the restaurant usually
had on Friday nights.
The crowd took a while to get into
the game, but grew louder from play
to play as Kansas marched toward
its first touchdown of the game.
Those cheers turned into cries of
anguish when Meier was taken down
in the end zone for a safety, and later
became shouts of disbelief when
senior defensive end Rodney Allen
was in position to sack Cochran, but
let him escape.
The most insightful comment
from the crowd came after Meier
completed an 18-yard shovel pass to
senior running back Jon Cornish.
The shovel pass always works!
the voice said. Its like our out.
College football on Friday was
also new to members of Blackwoods
group, like Sheila Orth.
If we werent here, wed prob-
ably be at home watching Netflix,
she said.
Although the Kansas game took
up Orths movie time, it did clear her
Saturday schedule so she could take
her pick of seven games featuring
ranked teams.
Orth said she lived in Nebraska
for several years and was looking
forward to watching No. 19 Nebraska
play No. 4 USC.
Fans relish rare Friday night televised game
from the press box
It was over
when...
Toledo running back
Jalen Parmele cut to the
right side of the Kansas
defense and strolled
into the end zone for the
game-winning touch-
down in the second over-
time. It was the fourth
touchdown scored of a
Jayhawk turnover.
Game ball
goes to...
Junior Marcus Henry
has quickly become one
of quarterback Kerry
Meiers favorite targets.
Henry had four catches
for 67 yards, including
an extraordinary 33-
yard touchdown that he
scooped up of the turf.
Game to
forget...
Kerry Meier wont soon
forget his frst road game.
The freshman quarter-
back had the worst game
of his young college
career Friday, throwing
four interceptions. He
stared down numerous
receivers, tipping of
defenders who started
watching Meier instead of
the receivers.
Stat of the
game...
Toledo scored 28 points
of fve Kansas turnovers.
If it wasnt for those
turnovers, this one would
have been a blowout.
Toledo didnt record a frst
down in the second half,
yet managed to score
two touchdowns. With
Toledos ofense looking
worse on each posses-
sion, the Kansas defense
kept the team in it.
Ryan Schneider
Dave Hochanadel/INDEPENDENT COllEGIAN
Kerry Meier takes ofrunning in Friday nights game against Toledo. Meier has nine touchdowns this season; he has run for four of them, including one at Toledo.
Up or Down
The Jayhawks couldnt solve
their road woes on Saturday.
With games ahead at Nebraska,
Iowa State, Missouri and Baylor,
there may not have been a
better chance for a victory than
Friday. How does Kansas future
look away from home this
season?
Few teams have enjoyed
success in Toledo recently,
but Kansas looked
embarrassingly bad
at times Friday night.
Kerry Meiers habit
of throwing to the wrong team
is exactly the sort of thing that
will result in tough road losses
as the season wears on. Until
the young Jayhawks mature
past the point of making foolish
mistakes, victories away from
Memorial Stadium will be few
and far between.
Asher Fusco
The Toledo game was dis-
heartening, but fans have to un-
derstand that Kerry
Meier and the team
must go through
hard times to
become better. If the team can
fnish 2-2 on the road, it will be
a huge improvement within the
last few years. The Jayhawks
can look at Fridays game and
know they had a victory within
their grasp several times, giving
them confdence the next time
they are on the road.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
The Jayhawks will win two
games on the road this year
because of the following
strong points. The
defense is solid, as
evidenced by Mike
Rivera laying people
out. The secondary missed
a few plays, but ultimately
stepped up in the second half. I
like how Kerry Meier is being al-
lowed to run the ball. He needs
to cut down on his intercep-
tions, but that should come as
he gains experience.
Kyle Carter
Kansas hasnt won
in Lincoln since
Lyndon Johnson was president,
and Nebraska is better than
theyve been the past few years,
and victories in Ames, Iowa,
are never easy to come by.
Baylor has improved recently
and has played well so far this
year, despite its record. The best
chance for a victory may be
against Missouri because coach
Gary Pinkels Tigers usually have
trouble against the Jayhawks.
Jack Connor
Kerry Meier is only
going to get better
as the season pro-
gresses. All he has to do is elimi-
nate the freshman mistakes and
Jayhawk fans will have a lot to
cheer about. If the ofense can
eliminate the careless turnovers
and the defense can create a
few, the Jayhawks should be
able to pick up a game or two
on the road.

Dave Hochanadel/INDEPENDENT COllEGIAN
Jayhawk defender Justin Thornton pushes Toledo quarterback Clint Cochran out of bounds during Fridays game. The Jayhawks lost 37-31 after the Rockets scored the winning touchdown in the second
overtime.
Instead of complaints about the

scheduling of the Toledo game, fans
criticized Kansas football promotions
as they watched Toledo fans pound
inflatable noisemakers together in
the Glass Bowl. Blackwood said a
similar promotion for Kansas fans
would help welcome the Jayhawks
back to Memorial Stadium this
week.
KU should give fans some of
those noisemakers, Blackwood said.
As loud as it gets in Memorial, those
would make it even louder.

R.E.M.s original members
inducted into Hall of Fame
ATLANTA The four original
members of R.E.M. gave a rare
performance as the group was
inducted into the Georgia Music
Hall of Fame.
The group, which formed in
Athens, Ga., in 1980, has won three
Grammys and sold more than 70
million records. It has performed as
a quartet only a handful of times
since 1997, when drummer Bill
Berry left the group after sufering
a brain aneurysm onstage in 1995.
This is going to be loud, front
man Michael Stipe said as the
group launched into Begin the
Begin from their 1986 album Lifes
Rich Pageant.
Saturdays reunion performance
was by far the largest and the frst
that was publicized in advance.
Many of the roughly 1,500 people
at the Georgia halls black-tie
induction ceremony clearly were
there to see the group.
Also inducted Saturday were
Allman Brothers founder Gregg
Allman, writer-producers Dallas
Austin and Jermaine Dupri, and
the late Felice Bryant. Bryant, along
with husband Boudleaux Bryant,
wrote country and rock standards
including Rocky Top,Wake Up
Little Susie and Love Hurts.

Chiefs lose to Broncos in overtime
Denver wins with field goal as neither team could score a touchdown
By ARNIE STAPLETON
ASSOcIATEd PRESS
DENVER Rod Smith was on
the sideline with a concussion, Jake
Plummer was having an awful day
and nothing Mike Shanahan and his
offensive staff came up with seemed
to work.
Javon Walker bailed them all out.
He led Denver to a 9-6 win against
Kansas City on Sunday by grabbing a
24-yard jump ball to set up Jason
Elams 39-yard field goal 5:10 into
overtime at Invesco Field.
Im finally getting back to how I
used to be, Im finally getting back
to how I was in Green Bay, said
the former Pro Bowl wide receiver
acquired from the Packers in the off-
season after missing almost all of last
year with a torn knee ligament.
Walker led Denver with five
catches for 79 yards and also had a
key 16-yard run on a fourth-and-1
reverse that set up Elams first field
goal. His biggest play came in over-
time, when he raced down the right
sideline, slyly shoved cornerback Ty
Law and hauled in Plummers pass at
the Chiefs 25-yard line.
Javon wants to make plays. He
wants the ball, Shanahan said. Its
exciting to see a guy who wants to
get the ball every play.
Shanahan praised Plummers
throw, but even Plummer admitted
he didnt do anything special.
There wasnt any timing on it,
there was no leading him, nothing
pretty about it. I was just throwing it
up there and making sure I gave him
a chance to come down with the ball,
and he did, Plummer said. And
thats why we got him here.
So Plummer finally quieted the
calls for his benching that began
with his four-turnover performance
at St. Louis and continued when
he threw an interception Sunday.
He guided Denver (1-1) to just six
points on its first eight drives.
This was the lowest-scoring game
in the 93 times the AFC West rivals
have met _ and the only one without
a touchdown.
Kansas City (0-2) kept it close
with an impeccable game plan.
Damon Huard, starting for the
injured Trent Green, completed 17
of 23 passes for 133 yards in his first
start in nearly six seasons, and Larry
Johnson gained 126 yards rushing
and 41 receiving.
We probably would have taken
more chances if Trent Green had
been playing, Chiefs coach Herm
Edwards said.
Denver didnt commit any penal-
ties for just the third time The others
came in 1967 against Kansas City and
1983 against Chicago.

Duquesne players
shot afer dance
Man shoots five players near dormito-
ry, at least two left in critical condition
ASSOcIATEd PRESS
PITTSBURGH Police
searched for a man who shot five
Duquesne basketball players on
campus early Sunday after a dance
at the student union, leaving at
least two of them in critical condi-
tion.
Two players were walking near a
dormitory and encountered a man
who apparently had been disrup-
tive at the dance, authorities said.
The players tried to calm the man
and walked away but were shot.
Players who rushed to their aid
were also shot.
The gunman and a group of
people with him were not students,
a university official said.
In critical condition were for-
ward Sam Ashaolu of Toronto, a
transfer from Lake Region State
College and a cousin of former
Houston Rockets star Hakeem
Olajuwon; and Stuard Baldonado
of Colombia, a transfer from Miami
Dade College who was considered
the schools best recruit.
Also hos-
pitalized was
Kojo Mensah,
a guard from
New York City
who averaged
nearly 17 points
last season at
Siena College
before trans-
ferring, school
officials said at
a news confer-
ence Sunday.
His condition was not available.
Treated and released were
Shawn James of New York City, the
nations leading shot blocker last
season at Northeastern University
before transferring to Duquesne;
and Aaron Jackson of Hartford,
Conn., a guard who is one of
only two returning players from
Duquesnes 3-24 team last season.
Witnesses reported seeing two
guns, said university president
Charles Dougherty, but he couldnt
confirm whether both were fired.
The second gun was seen on some-
one in a group with the gunman,
Dougherty said.
Six to 12 shots were fired, he
said. He did not know what sparked
the violence.
What motive can there be for
unloading a pistol into a group of
students? Dougherty said.
James, an NBA propsect expect-
ed to be Duquesnes top player
when he becomes eligible in the
2007-08 season, was shot in the
foot but no bones were broken.
Mensah was believed shot in the
shoulder. Jackson was shot in the
hand.
The entire Duquesne
University community is saddened
and shocked, Dougherty said.
Were shocked because an event
of this sort has never happened. Its
a safe campus
and known to
be a safe cam-
pus.
The down-
town school
has round-
t h e - c l o c k
police protec-
tion, which
was stepped
up Sunday.
Armed uni-
versity police officers guarded dor-
mitories and other buildings.
Duquesne coach Ron Everhart,
formerly at Northeastern, had
rebuilt the schools program after
being hired in March by bringing
