Jayhawks sign center for 07, 08

Bloomington, Minn., Aldrich was the only player to sign a letter of intent with Kansas on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period. Aldrich, who orally committed to Kansas in November aldrich of 2005, chose Kansas over such schools as Minnesota and North Carolina. We are especially happy to officially welcome Cole and his parents, Walt and Kathy, to the Kansas basketball family, Self said. We are very appreciative of the Aldrichs loyalty to Kansas and are excited about him being a Jayhawk. Cole has been committed to Kansas for more than a year and has visited campus many times. Our fans should be very excited about a player of his ability and love for this University. According to Rivals.com, a site that provides player evaluation, Aldrich is a five-star recruit, ranked fifth among centers and 25th among all recruits. Scout.com, which also provides player evaluations, has Aldrich listed as a four-star recruit and 27th among all recruits. Scout. com ranks Aldrich the fourth best center in his class. As a junior, Aldrich averaged 16.5 points and 13 rebounds per game. As an AAU player, Aldrich was a Reebok ABCD All-Star in 2005 and 2006. Last summer he played in the Schweitzer Games in Germany. Scout.com states Aldrich is a strong center with good finishing skills scoring around the basket and rebounding skills. As for areas of improvement, Scout.com says Aldrich needs work on his mid-range game, speed and quickness, and needs to become a better player in transition. Although Kansas could use Aldrich right now, following an injury to junior center Sasha Kaun and the dismissal of junior center C.J. Giles, the Jayhawks wont get to see Aldrich in their frontcourt rotation until next season.

American Lung Association, will allow researchers to further develop a program created and tested on a small scale during the past year. Won Choi, associate professor of preventive medicine and a lead researcher for the program, said researchers had seen significant results from pilot programs. After the completion of a twelveweek program, 65 percent of participants had quit smoking. Six months later, 28 percent remained non-smokers. Choi said Native Americans had the highest smoking rate among all ethnic groups. About 40 percent of Native Americans smoke, compared to a national average of 22 percent.

Rumsfeld resigns one day after GOP loses congressional control to Dems
By roBErt Burns
AssoCiAtED PrEss

WASHINGTON After years of defending his secretary of defense, President Bush on Wednesday announced Donald H. Rumsfelds resignation within hours of the Democrats triumph in congressional elections. Bush reached back to his fathers administration to tap a former CIA director to run the Pentagon. The Iraq war was the central issue of Rumsfelds nearly six-year tenure, and unhappiness with the war was a major element of voter dissatisfaction Tuesday and the main impetus for his departure. Even some GOP lawmakers became critical of the wars management, and growing numbers of politicians were urging Bush to replace Rumsfeld.

Author to address womens roles in hip-hop

By CourtnEy HAGEn
public. Pough said she wanted to help educate the KU community by exposing it to the different cultural and social elements of hip-hop. A lot of the sexism and misogyny that exists in the larger culture exists in hip-hop, Pough Pough said. It is a maleheavy field. It is hard for women to break through those barriers. Maryemma Graham, professor of English, was Poughs former teacher at Northeastern University and helped bring her to the University. Graham said she wanted Pough to lecture because she thought Pough would appeal to a younger generation to teach about hip-hop in an academic context. She represents a scholar of a new generation, Graham said. Shes demonstrated a particular kind of vision of how you can combine more public and activist concerns with academic concerns. I think there is an idea that if you are an academic you have to stay away from public issues. Graham said she thought Pough expressed a controversial message through her work to examine the role of feminists in hip-hop culture. Poughs visit is sponsored in part by the KU English Department. William J. Harris, professor of English, said he thought Poughs visit would engage the community. I think her visit will be useful and gratifying to see her in terms of the topic of hip-hop and viewing it in terms of a gender perspective, Harris said. Secondly, as an English department, its interesting to have someone whos talking about the effectiveness of language, and the hip-hop culture is made up of language. Pough wrote Check It While I Wreck It: Black Womanhood, HipHop Culture, and the Public Sphere in 2004 about the roles of gender awareness and feminism in hip-hop culture. Pough is also the author of several fictional books, under the pen name of Gwyneth Bolton, about a hip-hop feminist heroine. Kansan staff writer Courtney Hagen can be contacted at chagen@ kansan.com.

Millions of snails found, compared to size of hand

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados A breed of giant, ravenous snails that first appeared in Barbados five years ago is destroying crops and prompting calls for the government to eliminate the slimy pests. A nocturnal snail hunt recently found millions of giant African snails swarming the central parish of St. George, the countrys agricultural heartland. Farmers had

complained of damage to crops, including sugar cane and potatoes. We saw snails riding on each others backs and moving in clusters, said David Walrond, chairman of the local emergency response office that organized the nocturnal hunt. In some cases we saw areas of 20 to 30 square feet with hundreds of thousands of snails. The Barbados Agricultural Society said the count revealed the scale of the problem for the first time and urged the government to set up a task force to eradicate the

snail population. The snails, which are about the size of a human hand, are known to consume as many as 500 different plants, and their mucous can transmit meningitis and other diseases.

Former mathematics professor dies after decades of dedication

By Darla slipKe
from 1978 to 1999, said Price was instrumental in bringing great educators to campus during that period. Jack Porter, chairman of the department of mathematics, said Price was forward-thinking. When he thought he had a good idea, he would move on with it, Porter said. He was a real innovator. He was willing to start up programs that still exist today. Price played a significant role in the development of New Math, a revolutionary approach to teaching mathematics that taught concepts, rather than memorization, so that students would understand skills and be able to apply them. His service to the math program is famous, Porter said. He was a real legend and an amazing person. Prices colleagues said he was devoted to the program. Himmelberg said Price would have stayed on as chairman longer if not for a strict policy that required people in administrative posts to retire from the post at the age of 65. Porter said even after Price retired, he would discuss the department with Porter at University events. Former colleagues said Price was kind and helpful to them in their careers. Fred Van Vleck, professor emeritus of mathematics, wrote two books with Price during a three-year span. During one of his first years teaching in the 1960s, Vleck said he and Price taught sections of the same math class. When the classes carried over into the second semester, some students wanted to switch to Prices section. Van Vleck said he has never forgotten the support he got from the experienced professor when he talked the students into staying in his section. Himmelberg said Price was like a fatherly figure to him. He said he learned a lot from Prices example. Price was straight-laced and very correct in everything he did, Himmelberg said.

assOciateD press WASHINGTON Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994. Jim Webbs squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesdays elections. The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance. Webbs victory ended Republican hopes of eking out a 50-50 split, with Vice President Dick Cheney wielding

G. Baley Price, a former professor of mathematics and former chairman of the department, died Tuesday at the age of 101. Price taught at the University from 1937 to 1975, except from 1943 to 1945 when he worked for the U.S. Army Air Corps, the precursor to the Air Force, to test the use of radar to help World War II bomber pilots improve their accuracy. He was the chairman of the department of mathematics from 1951 to 1970, during the Sputnik Era, when there was a large push for the study of mathematics.

tie-breaking authority. The Associated Press contacted election officials in all 134 localities where voting occurred, obtaining updated numbers Wednesday. About half the localities said they had completed their postelection canvassing and nearly all had counted outstanding absentees. Most were expected to be finished by Friday. The new AP count showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Virginia has had two statewide vote recounts in modern history, but both resulted in vote changes of no more than a few hundred votes. An adviser to Allen, speaking on condition of anonymity because his boss had not formally decided to end the campaign, said the senator wanted to wait until most of canvassing was completed before announcing his decision, possibly as early as Thursday evening.

Publisher to analyze dictionarys evolution

By Ben smith
the first American lexicographer and his first dictionary, which incorporated the words skunk and porcupine into the English language and eliminated the letter u from the words labor and color. The lecture will cover the evolution of the American dictionary from the 1806 version to the 1847 edition, revised by George and Charles Merriam after Websters death in 1843, and finally to the contemporary versions, which are working to incorporate words like mouse potato, (noun, slang: a person who spends a great deal of time using a computer). Lisa Eitner, Oread Books supervisor, said she received e-mails and phone calls that expressed interest in the lecture. Oread Books will sponsor the lecture, along with 11 other lectures this semester. Morse said the dictionary was a quintessential American document from its first publication through today. He said Websters dictionary was revolutionary because it was the first to incorporate terms from science and technology, rather than just literary terminology. One of my main messages is that it is a very powerful glossary of life, Morse said. Many people dont seem to realize that. Arthur Bicknell, MerriamWebster senior publicist, said the lecture was designed to show people how important the Webster Dictionary had been to American culture. The lecture will focus on early versions of the dictionary. Prior to 1806 we had used only English dictionaries, Bicknell said. This didnt seem right. We were our own entity and Webster saw that. Bicknell said some American words didnt exist in a dictionary before Noah Webster wrote them down. Words like hickory, chowder, and applesauce that were commonly used in the United States had been basically ignored by English lexicographers.

Former CBS anchor stands by words about documents

RALEIGH, N.C. Former CBS anchor Dan Rather once again defended his discredited 60 Minutes Wednesday report about President Bushs military service, insisting the story was accurate. Rather narrated the September 2004 report, which alleged that

President Bush skirted some of his duties during his National Guard service and that a commander felt pressured to sugarcoat Bushs record. The story was true, Rather, 75, told radio station WPTF-AM on Tuesday. We were vulnerable on taking responsibility for it. Pressed further on the authenticity of the report, Rather lashed out at radio host Donna Martinez,

saying she had a political agenda. Rather stepped down as CBS Evening News anchor in March 2005, and the network cut all ties to him in June. He is scheduled to produce and host a weekly news program beginning Nov. 14 on HDNet, a small network aimed at owners of high-definition televisions.

Cosby assault case settled Wednesday

PHILADELPHIA Bill Cosby settled a lawsuit Wednesday with a woman who said the entertainer drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home outside Philadelphia. Terms of the settlement will remain confidential, according to a

one-paragraph statement released jointly by both sides. Cosbys publicist, David Brokaw, said there would be no further comment. A telephone number for the plaintiff could not be determined Wednesday and she could not be reached for comment. Her lawyer, Delores M. Troiani, declined further comment. The woman claimed that Cosby,

69, assaulted her at his mansion in Cheltenham in early 2004 after giving her pills. Attorneys for Cosby say the comedian gave the woman Benadryl after she complained of stress and sleeping problems. The federal judge presiding over the case earlier denied Cosbys request for a gag order and the plaintiff s request to shield the names of a dozen other women who say

Cosby assaulted them. Some of the accusations raised by the other women go back for decades, and none of the women have pending lawsuits filed against him. The accuser also sought damages for defamation after Cosbys representatives allegedly suggested that her family had asked him for money before going to police.

OUR VIEW
The results of Tuesdays elections are mostly in, and while we endure the medias hyperanalytical focus on the Virginia Senate race, we can examine the races that are already decided. Does Tuesdays big night portend any sweeping change in the future of our country? It is famously said that success has a thousand fathers, and the Democratic Party is currently reaffirming that maxim. The rush of self-congratulation has begun in earnest, with everyone from Howard Dean to Bill Clinton celebrating the recapture of the House. The Republican Party, meanwhile, begins a round of finger-pointing and blaming. This election may finally be the point when the rift between business and social conservatives exposes the party to the kind of fractious infighting usually reserved for their opponents. But based on exit polls, voters widely believed that this election was a referendum not just

OPINION
on President Bush but on the direction of the nation under his partys rule. Democrats spoke loftily Tuesday night of the demand for a new direction, but exactly what that direction will entail remains to be seen. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the ranking Democrats in the House and Senate, respectively, are probably not the ideal public symbols their party wants, and their agenda of progressive programs will encounter stern opposition from the White House. Sadly, gridlock seems more likely than bipartisan consensus. Regardless of personal party views, many Americans will and should be happy to see the effective end of one-party rule in Washington. Any party that dominates all branches of government creates an echo chamber and quickly becomes convinced of its own self-righteousness. The Democratic takeover of the House, and potentially of the Senate, creates an invigorated opponent to the Presidents agenda, and at the very least forces him to reckon with the opposition party. This is in stark contrast to the past few years, when the ruling party took steps to cement the irrelevance of the Democrats. Locally, the reliably red state of Kansas looked decidedly bluer Tuesday night, but that can be deceiving. While there were big victories for Democrats, the victors are hardly facsimiles of their coastal brethren. Nevertheless, the results bode well for the state. Perhaps Kansas, mocked and pilloried for so long by so many, is on the brink of a new era of progress, led by moderate public officials willing to work with representatives of all stripes to move the state forward. For our own sake, let us hope that is true. McKay Stangler for the editorial board.

Tuesdays elections bode well for Kansas, America

COMMENTARY

Recent events illustrate studentspower

Presidents are falling, all over this land. Last month, at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., protests by hundreds of students and faculty ended the incoming presidents tenure before she could even take office. At Johnson County Community College, in the spring, a news article toppled the 25-year-old presidency of Charles J. Carlsen. (Full disclosure: I previously worked at the JCCC student newspaper, The Campus Ledger, and I have worked with Miguel Morales, the reporter who broke the story on Carlsen.) Both of these are powerful examples that students can still change the world, or at least their own worlds. At Gallaudet, a college for the deaf, students protested the appointment of Jane K. Fernandes as president because they didnt believe she represented them. Opposition began last spring with the announcement of her appointment and continued after the fall session started. There were arrests, hunger strikes, people camping out on the lawn of the school. On the flip side of a mass uprising is Morales. Morales was one voice instead of many. He spent more than a year compiling infor-

mation, interviewing sources, following leads before he felt ready to run a story that focused on an allegation that Carlsen had sexually harassed an employee. Carlsen has repeatedly denied the accusation. Seven months later, the fallout of that article is still being felt. Carlsen resigned. The colleges board of trustees launched an investigation, but chose not to reveal all of its findings. Later, the board revealed the investigation had found other women who reported similar conduct from Carlsen. Theyre still looking for a new president. Since the circus started, many students and faculty have supported Morales and The Campus Ledger. But, on production day, it was Morales and the staff of the paper who decided they had a story that needed to be told; that they would pit themselves against a quartercentury-old administration and take the consequences. In both cases, there were people

who criticized the student voices. At Gallaudet, some say a radical minority wouldnt give change a chance. At JCCC, some have bemoaned the fall of the man who built a community college powerhouse. When students are not treated as stakeholders in the schools they attend, they need to make their presence and views known. Ive met many administrators at our University and other colleges who deeply cared about the students they served. However, when the bureaucracy turns its eye our way, too often we become numbers, trends, tuition payments and statistics rather than members of our community. We may only be in our schools for a few years while administrations last decades, but that doesnt mean we dont have the right and the power to change our campuses. Schools exist to educate students, not maintain the administrations that run them. When facing the often mindnumbing challenge of standing up against powerful bureaucracies, whether in government, school or business, the little voices can still make themselves heard and win.

Immigration problem lacks comprehensive approach

The U.S. government would have us believe that illegal immigration is a dire and threatening issue. Americans are continuously bombarded with warnings about the effects of illegal immigration, yet none of the proposed solutions, such as mass deportation or a wall, will effectively end illegal immigration because none consider the root of the problem. Illegal immigrants are no great threat to America and many would have stayed home if not for the negative effects of U.S. trade policy. Eleven to twelve million illegal immigrants currently reside in the U.S. Most came because policies such as NAFTA and CAFTA, so-called free trade agreements with Mexico and Central America, benefit large corporations and subsidized American industries, while demolishing the smaller, independent businesses and farms of Latin America, which are unable to compete. As a result, NAFTA and CAFTA devastate struggling econoDave Ruigh, associate opinion editor 864-4924 or druigh@kansan.com Kyle Hoedl, business manager 864-4014 or khoedl@kansan.com Lindsey Shirack, sales manager 864-4462 or lshirack@kansan.com Malcolm Gibson, general manager, news adviser 864-7667 or mgibson@kansan.com Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or jweaver@kansan.com

The effects are clearly evident in immigration patterns: According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Mexican immigrantion to the U.S. decreased 18 percent in the three years prior to NAFTA, but increased a whopping 60 percent after NAFTA was implemented. As immigrant numbers grew, so too did the desire to maintain pure American culture. Politicians took the cue, using illegal immigrants to improve their own popularity

by demonizing them. Immigrants are now familiar with the same anti-immigrant rhetoric and xenophobia that has historically plagued America. Proposed solutions to address the dilemma include the cattle method, rounding them up and sending them back, as well as the separation method, building a wall between the US and Mexico. So what, exactly, is the issue? Anti-immigration campaigns often cite $10 billion as the yearly cost of illegal immigrants for U.S. taxpayers. At best this number is fuzzy math. For obvious reasons this estimate disregards the economic benefit of illegal immigrants. America employs millions of illegal immigrants yearly whose removal from the workforce would be initially ruinous to the American economy. Additionally, the estimate does not consider that many illegal immigrants have fake social security numbers and pay taxes, but rarely use tax services. The average tax-

paying immigrant and his or her family pay approximately $80,000 more in taxes than they receive in benefits over a lifetime. Despite the ambiguous nature of the problem, the American population is convinced that illegal immigration is a serious threat. Steps to treat the disease are under way, but lack a comprehensive knowledge of the issue. Deportation, for one, would cost billions and harm the U.S. economy. Because the flow of immigrants will never be stagnant, deportation would also have to be repeated multiple times, and would cause severe psychological harm to affected families. Similarly, a wall would not solve the issue. Two weeks ago President Bush signed a bill to build the Great Wall of Mexico that will cost nearly $2 billion. But money for the border patrol has been increased multiple times since 1986, and the population of illegal immigrants has nearly quadrupled since then. A wall will not stop the flow of

immigrants. Throughout history the creation of walls has stood for conflict, hatred, exclusionary practices and separation. Not ironically, these are all reasons that individuals become terrorists. Separation has simply never improved faltering relations. As citizens it is important that we understand the need for a more comprehensive approach to illegal immigration. Dialogue regarding solutions must consider U.S. history of immigration, the benefit of immigrants, and ways in which U.S. policies drastically affect immigration. We must question why illegal immigrants leave their countries, homes and families to make the treacherous journey to the U.S. Only then can a more effective solution can be found.

Bush said Robert Gates, 63, who has served in a variety of national security jobs under six previous presidents, would be nominated to replace Rumsfeld. Gates, currently the president of Texas A&M University, is a Bush family friend and a member of an independent group studying the way ahead in Iraq. The White House hopes that replacing Rumsfeld with Gates can help refresh U.S. policy on the deeply unpopular war and perhaps establish a stronger rapport with the new Congress. Rumsfeld had a rocky relationship with many lawmakers. Secretary Rumsfeld and I agreed that sometimes its necessary to have a fresh perspective, Bush said in the abrupt announcement during a postelection news conference. In a later appearance at the White House with Rumsfeld and Gates at his side, Bush praised both men, thanked Rumsfeld for his service and predicted that Gates would bring fresh ideas. The secretary of defense must be a man of vision who can see threats still over the horizon and prepare our nation to meet them. Bob Gates is the right man to meet both of these critical challenges, Bush said. But underscoring that he would not bow to those pushing for a quick U.S. withdrawal, Bush also said, Id like our troops to come home, too, but I want them to come home with victory. In brief remarks, Rumsfeld described the Iraq conflict as a little understood, unfamiliar war that is complex for people to comprehend. Upon his return to the Pentagon after appearing with Bush and Gates, Rumsfeld said it was a good time for him to leave. It will be a different Congress, a different environment, moving toward a presidential election and a lot of partisanship, and it struck me that this would be a good thing for everybody, Rumsfeld told reporters. There was little outward reaction among officials at the Pentagon,

Looking ahead to 2007-08, Self will add Aldrich to a frontcourt that could include Kaun; forwards Darrell Arthur, Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson, and center Matt Kleinmann. Aldrich wasnt the only high-profile recruit on Kansas list. Last week Derrick Rose, a five-star guard according to Rivals.com and Scout.com, committed to Memphis over Kansas. On Wednesday, James Anderson, a five-star forward according to Scout.com, committed to Oklahoma State over Kansas. Scout.com lists three other Kansas recruits for the 2007-08 season who have yet to sign letters of intent. Four-star guard Tyrel Reed, from Burlington High School in Burlington, is the highest ranked player left on that list. The site lists Reed as the tenth-best point guard in his class. Nevertheless, Self is focused on the player Kansas did sign, rather than the ones it didnt. Cole will be an excellent addition to our frontcourt, Self said. He has terrific size and a very high ceiling for his future. He is a true five man that is very skilled. We believe he can anchor our play on both ends of the court.

beyond surprise at the abrupt announcement. Asked whether Rumsfelds departure signaled a new direction in a war that has claimed the lives of more than 2,800 U.S. troops and cost more than $300 billion, Bush said, Well, theres certainly going to be new leadership at the Pentagon. Voters appeared to be telling politicians that the sooner the war ends the better. Surveys at polling places showed that about six in 10 voters disapproved of the war and only a third believed it had improved long-term security in the United States. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Rumsfeld was not leaving immediately. Rumsfeld planned to deliver a speech on the global war on terrorism at Kansas State University today. Just last week Bush told reporters that he expected Rumsfeld, 74, to remain until the end of the administrations term. And although Bush said Wednesday that his decision to replace Rumsfeld was not based on politics, the announcement of a Pentagon shake-up came on the heels of Tuesdays voting. With his often-combative defense of the war in Iraq, Rumsfeld had been the administrations face of the conflict. He became more of a target and more politically vulnerable as the war grew increasingly unpopular at home amid rising violence and with no end in sight.

Choi said Native Americans used tobacco for traditional purposes, such as in medicine and for ceremonies. He said the program was designed to stop Native Americans from smoking commercially, not from using smoking for cultural purposes. Typical smoking cessation programs portray tobacco use negatively, which could alienate Native American smokers, said Christine Daley, a research assistant professor of preventive medicine who helped develop the program. That can be very insensitive, she said. We tried to honor the cultural use of tobacco and at the same time emphasize the negative factors of commercial smoking. Jerry Briscoe, a participant in the smoking cessation group All Nations Breath of Life, said tobacco was sacred to his people. Other programs that depicted it as all bad are ineffective and culturally insensitive, he said. Briscoe, also a research associate at KU Medical Center, said he liked the parts culturally specific to Native Americans, such as the emphasis on family and family support, and a talking circle that involved storytelling. Briscoe has four sessions remaining in his program, which he said was empowering for him. Daley said the development of the program had been a community effort. Its more about the community telling us what they want and how we can help them, she said. Participants meet in groups of ten once a week during the first four weeks of the program, then they meet every other week for four more sessions. They also receive a phone call between sessions from a group leader. Daley described this interaction as motivational interviewing that allowed participants to make decisions about how they would quit. The grant money will fund resources for a full test, including more counselors, participant reimbursement, nicotine patches, gum and lozenges.

Exhibition games showcase talent of freshmen players

By RyAn ColAiAnni
kansan sports columnist rcolaianni@kansan.com Remember last season when everyone in America knew which way Rush was going? Well, Rush has shown signs of driving to his left during the two exhibition contests. Against Emporia State, Rush drove to the basket, using his left hand, showing some quick moves switching hands. Rush eventually missed the shot, but the use of his left hand leaves room for optimism.

It is difficult to gauge much from Kansas two exhibition victories, simply because of the level of competition. But there were five things that caught my eye during the past week.

Emporia State, Collins was nearly perfect. He showed aggressiveness driving to the basket. He hit difficult driving layups and had highlight reel moves on some double clutch layins. Collins also showcased an outside range, connecting on four three-point shots. His aggressiveness on defense will complement Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson nicely. Arthur impressed me with his defense at times in both exhibitions, making spectacular blocks and showing tremendous effort. Arthurs speed as a big man is something to be noticed because when Kansas runs, he is usually at the front of the break. Arthur was also able to knock down 10-foot jumpers against Washburn. He will be relied on immediately because of the absence of Sasha Kaun, who is out with a knee injury, and the recent dismissal from the team of C.J. Giles.

difficulty running a half-court offense in the first half against Emporia State. The team opened it up in the second, thanks to quick transitions, which led to easy points. Kansas is one of the deepest teams in America and needs to use that to its advantage every week. I understand Bill Self s philosophy of running a half-court offense, but he said that his team would run more this season. Kansas likely will not face another team as deep as it is this season, and running opponents into the ground certainly appears to be an option every time Kansas takes the floor. Come the second half, Kansas will have extra legs and will have had the opportunity to rest its players until the game matters the most.

Colorado out-kills Kansas by 17, sends Hawks away with six straight losses
By DREw DAviSon
The Kansas volleyball team wore its alternate red jerseys, watched a psych-up video, changed its warm-up routine and had its pregame meal catered instead of going out to a restaurant. But these changes werent enough to propel the team to a victory Wednesday night against Colorado. Colorado (14-9, 10-6 Big 12 Conference) swept Kansas (10-15, 3-13 Big) 30-25, 30-28 and 32-30 at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center in front of 981 fans. We were trying to find something to work, Emily Brown, junior right-side hitter, said. But we couldnt close out game three, and we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot. Brown had a team-high 12 kills on .333 hitting efficiency. Kansas has lost six matches in a row, and although coach Ray Bechard is pleased with the effort his team gives he said they were playing without both Es. The effort is there, but the execution is not. But Colorado pulled away late to take the game two by two. The Buffaloes had 17 kills compared to the Jayhawks ten. Colorado needed to go to extra points to complete its sweep of Kansas in the final game. The Jayhawks had a 28-24 advantage late in the game, but could not come up with the final two points to win the game. Colorado took the match by two, with a .327 hitting efficiency compared to Kansas .279. I was very disappointed, Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. I was kind of surprised we couldnt finish that game. Correa had a double-digit performance with 10 kills and 11 digs. Kansas has a week off before it travels to Waco, Texas for its next match against Baylor (16-11, 4-10). The Jayhawks have yet to win a road conference match this season, but they did defeat the Bears earlier this season at home. Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@kansan.com.

Until Kaun returns, Kansas may often be at a disadvantage defending the post. Too often during the exhibitions, Emporia State and Washburn were able to execute successful post moves against Arthur, Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson. These players will need to improve quickly if Kansas hopes to compete with the size of Florida in Las Vegas in a few weeks. Arthurs lean body and long arms give him the ability to move quickly while blocking shots and give him the best chance to compete with the size the Jayhawks will see in Las Vegas. Other players should feed off of Arthurs enthusiasm and his overall effort on the floor.

2. the Kansas post defense needs to improve.

every time you saw Self switch out proven players with younger guys, dont worry, its not going to happen that often. Self said before the season that he envisioned a rotation of eight to nine players. Against Washburn, 10 players played 10 or more minutes and that was without Kaun. Dont expect that to happen during the season. Now, Self must discover which players are going to make up that rotation. The minutes of the starting lineup from last season Robinson, Chalmers, Rush, Wright and Kaun are safe within the rotation. Collins and Arthur also will likely be in that rotation, along with Jackson. That leaves potentially one spot in the rotation for players like Rodrick Stewart, Brady Morningstar and Jeremy Case to fight for those final minutes.

Waterskiing team finishes fourth at nationals, despite slow start

By KAyvon SARRAf
The University of Kansas waterski club peaked at the right time. Following a regular season marred by injuries, the team squeaked its way into regionals. Then it hit its stride, advancing from regionals and finishing fourth overall at the National Collegiate Water Ski Tournament in Sacramento, Calif., Oct. 12 to 14. Everyone really skied their best at the end of the year, coach Kelley Scharosch said. This years results were completely opposite from the year before, when the team did well all year long then struggled at nationals. With injuries to some of its top performers, the team had to work hard just to qualify for the regional tournament in Decatur, Ill., by finishing in the top eight in the Great Plains conference made up of 22 teams. Kansas finished fifth. We kind of under-performed all year, said Christian Scharosch, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and the coachs son. We finally started to put it together at the end of the year. At the regional tournament, normally five teams qualify for nationals and Kansas barely missed out, finishing sixth. But this year two other regions each had a team advance that was unable to participate in nationals. Half the Jayhawks already had plane tickets and were planning just to watch. Then a week before the event, Kansas was chosen as one of the substitutes. On the way to the teams fourthplace finish, Amy Bing, Wichita senior, led the way with a first-place overall finish. Jackie Allred, Leawood senior, placed fifth in the womens slalom and seventh overall. On the mens side, Christian set the pace for the Jayhawks with a second-place overall finish while Chris Carr, Wichita sophomore, placed fourth overall, including a second place finish in the Mens Jump. Other standouts include Caitlin Gillian, Chicago junior, 11th overall, and Joel Hamilton, Bucyrus freshman, eighth overall. Kelley said in water skiing, the top four finishers score points based on placement, so competitive teams need depth more than just a few great performers. Even though it appears to be an individual sport, this team showed that solid depth is the key, she said. The club will put its boat away until the spring season, when competition resumes. The club will compete in tournaments throughout the spring, but instead of a national tournament, an All-Stars competition will take place, where four regions send their top 10 skiers to Seattle. Christian said the Jayhawks should be able to send three skiers from both the mens and womens sides. The club is open to all KU students who love the water no matter their skiing abilities.

Michael Beasley signs intent

AssOciATED PrEss ing high school players entering the draft. Beasley was so prized that Huggins fretted until the last minute that another school might swoop in and steal him. There are people who have tried to get in on most of them, said Huggins, who was hired after a highly successful run at Cincinnati to resurrect a mens basketball program that has fallen on hard times. Beasley, who had verbally committed to Charlotte when Huggins was hired at Kansas State, changed his mind after AAU coach and Charlotte assistant Dalonte Hill joined Huggins. The athletic big man has averaged a double-double at four different schools in as many years. This season he will be play for Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., after leading perennial powerhouse Oak Hill Academy of Virginia to a school-record 40 wins last year. Huggins called Beasley one of the most polished high school talents he has seen, comparing him favorably to Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony. Mike is probably better taking it off the dribble, quite honestly, Huggins said. Mike shoots it. I think when it comes down to winning and losing games, Mike probably feels more comfortable taking it to the basket. Hes bigger than Carmelo. Walker, a 6-foot-6 swingman, is considered part of the 2007 class, but he took an accelerated academic course load during the fall and becomes eligible when the second semester at Kansas State official begins. Walker signed an official aid agreement with the Wildcats on Nov. 3 and will be eligible to play Dec. 17 against Kennesaw State. Ive watched him a bunch and he really can shoot it, but he just has so much confidence in taking it to the goal, said Huggins, who recruited Walker during his year away from coaching. Hes kind of been that kind of player his whole life. Hes just been attack oriented and attacks the rim, which is terrific. The duo is joined by shooting guard Fred Brown of Dwyer High in West Palm Beach, Fla., point guard Jacob Pullen from storied Proviso East in Maywood, Ill., and forward Dominique Sutton of The Patterson School in Durham, N.C. All three signed letters of intent on Wednesday. This is going to wind up as the marquee basketball recruiting class in the history of Kansas State basketball, said Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep, who ranked the class No. 1 in the country. This is truly new territory for this program to sign two players that rank in the top-10 nationally at their respective position. This class will define the Bob Huggins era at Kansas State.

Kansas State will welcome top-10 nationally ranked 6-foot-10 forward

By ANTHONy MENDOZA
MANHATTAN The No. 1 high school basketball prospect in the nation was true to his word. Michael Beasley, a 6-foot-10 forward from Washington, D.C., followed through on a verbal commitment to play for new Kansas State coach Bob Huggins by signing a national letter of intent on Beasley Wednesday, the first day of the fall signing period. Beasley is the jewel of a class that also includes Bill Walker, another top 10 player, and three other highly regarded perimeter prospects. Together they represent the top class in the nation, according to several recruiting services. I had a lot of guys tell me he was the best guy theyve seen, Huggins said of Beasley. Not just the best guy theyve seen, but the best guy theyve seen in a long time. Theres been guys who are more athletic and do flashier things, but its hard to find something Mike cant do well. Beasley rivals Texas freshman forward Kevin Durant as the most sought-after recruits ever to enter the Big 12, and was considered by many a sure lottery pick if the NBA had not changed its policies regard-

Baylor looks to offense, defense ranks 11th

WACO, Texas Through the first five games of the Baylor football teams season, the Bears defense was seen as their strength while their offense was considered somewhat of a liability. Five weeks later, that perception has changed. After allowing just 14.8 points through its first five games, the Baylor defense has given up an average of 43 points in its last five contests. While the team has two wins in each of the five-game stretches, more pressure has been placed on the Baylor offense to keep the Bears in games. The offense, which averaged 21.6 points through the first five contests, has scored an average of 28.8 points in its last five games. Senior defensive back C.J. Wilson said the defenses play in the recent weeks is not acceptable and that the unit desperately needs to regroup. Ten games into the Bears 12-game schedule, their defense ranks 11th in the Big 12 in scoring defense, ninth in pass defense and last in rush defense. While the Bears, 4-6, could still receive a bowl bid if they win their last two games, a bowl game at this point appears unlikely.

According to Rivals.com, CU currently has the 21st ranked recruiting class in the nation. But there is still a long way to go before signing day in February. According to Rivals.com, eight recruits visited CU last weekend and two offensive lineman Matt Bahr and running back Brian Lockridge made a verbal commitment to CU and Hawkins on Monday. Lockridge and Bahr are teammates at Mission Viego High School (Calif.) CU will say goodbye to 23 seniors this weekend at Folsom Field when CU plays Iowa State at 1 p.m in its home season finale. This weekends game could be considered as the battle for last place in the Big 12 as Iowa State comes in losing its last five games has yet to win a conference game. Given the current situation, it might seem easy to look forward to next year. Hawkins, though, is adamant he remains focused on the task at hand.

have a football family who doesnt care about one another or the coaches, then its not that big a deal. But thats not the case here. Although Athletic Director Jamie Pollard has said he will wait until the end of the season to make a decision about the football programs future, McCarney wanted to make sure the attention during the final two weeks of the season was on his team and players, not on whether there will be a different face prowling the ISU sideline next season. Now Iowa State is on the verge of finishing 0-8 in the Big 12 for the second time in four years. The Cyclones final two games come against 1-9 Colorado and 7-3 Missouri. I just want to do everything I can to finish this up strong for these kids, McCarney said.

Culbert makes big plays against Missouri

Despite losses, Colorado still able to recruit well

BOULDER, Colo. CU football is a program in transition. The Buffs have just one win in more than a years time a victory against Texas Tech in October. The offensive side of the ball has ranked statistically among the worst in the nation for the 2006 season, and a promising defense has started to show signs of wear and tear due to injuries. Boulder as it now stands is not exactly a prototypical football haven for incoming recruits. But CU football coach Dan Hawkins said Tuesday the Buffs struggles on the field havent translated to meager returns on the recruiting trail. (Recruiting has) been fine, it really has, the head coach said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. I think that those kids know whats going on and

Football coach tired of media negativity

AMES, Iowa ISU football coach Dan McCarneys message to the gathered media at his weekly Monday press conference was simple this is about me, not my players. And please leave them out of it. All this negativity can be almost overwhelming to young kids, and Id really appreciate it if when you talk to the players and the kids on this team that you would stay away from asking them about my future and my coaches future, McCarney said. Id really appreciate it if youd zero in on these last two games, instead of trying to get a vote out of the kids whether they believe in us or trust in us or whats here for the future. Its a burden they dont need to bear right now. With all the uncertainty surrounding McCarney and his assistants jobs, its starting to interfere with the players focus. Its a complete distraction, McCarney said. Theyre emotionally sapped right now. When you

LINCOLN, Neb. Major Culbert said he became a player on Saturday. Appearing in Nebraskas 34-20 win over Missouri as a joker linebacker, the true freshman roved the field in the Cornhuskers nickel defense, notching six tackles against the Tigers. But the first tackle is the one that stood out. Before the game, I was a little nervous, but when I went in and I had a tackle, I became a player, Culbert said. I didnt want to let the fans down; I just wanted to play. I just wanted to have fun. And when you have fun, you play. I dont think about my assignments, and hopefully, I dont mess up. NU Coach Bill Callahan said Culbert looked mature on the field, not just in the physical plays he made but also in his concentration and focus. But Callahan said Tuesday morning he did not yet know if Culbert would fit into NUs scheme this weekend against Texas A&M. He said the decision would depend on what aspects of the Aggies offense the Huskers decide to exploit and what defensive schemes that will require. To Culbert, there is no reason why Nebraska should walk out of College Station, Texas, without a win.

Evan Hengels
The Kansas City Chiefs have a quarterback controversy with fantasy implications
Theres a heated debate about who should be the Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback for the rest of the season: Damon Huard or Trent Green. Its gotten to the point where, because its been election season, Ive been half expecting to see commercials on TV where Huard questions Greens voting record on Medicare then says Im Damon Huard, and I approved this message, because Kansas City needs a leader you can depend on. Earlier in the season Edwards said that Green would come back to be his starting quarterback when he was healthy. But earlier this week he wasnt sure, saying that he didnt have to make that decision yet. Being the geek that I am, Ive been asking myself who the better fantasy football quarterback is. And, when you think about it, a good fantasy football quarterback is one who throws touchdowns, limits turnovers and moves the ball down the field. Those are all qualities that you would look for in a real quarterback as well. So, perhaps analyzing the quarterback controversy from a fantasy perspective will help coach Herm Edwards make the right decision Nov. 19 when Green is healthy and ready against the Oakland Raiders. Using a scoring system of 30 Without Roaf, Huard has been proyards per point, four points for a tected by a patchwork offensive touchdown and minus two points line featuring the likes of Jordan for a turnover, Huard has averaged Black, Kevin Sampson, Chris Bober 11.8 fantasy points per game this and Kyle Turley. Hes been giving year. Astonishingly, during Greens the ball to Larry Johnson, whos tenure in Kansas City, he has averbeen held to 68 yards or fewer in aged exactly 11.8 fantasy points per almost half of his starts, and he has game as well, with a high of 14.1 an offensive coordinator Mike per game in 2004. Well, there goes Solari who would rather repeatthat idea. edly pound the Perhaps the ball between numbers above Perhaps analyzing the the tackles than could be put into take a chance context. Green quarterback controversy from throwing the was protected by Willie Roaf, a a fantasy perspective will help ball downfield. pro-bowl-caliber coach Herm Edwards make the Given these circumstances, offensive lineits practically men. He handed right decision when Green is a miracle that the ball off to healthy. Huard has Priest Holmes, equaled Greens and later to stats so far. Larry Johnson. He also threw close Looking beyond the fantasy footto 40 touchdown passes to tight end ball perspective, Huard is 5-2, a .714 Tony Gonzalez, who was the best winning percentage, in his career as in the league. And, perhaps most Kansas Citys starter, while Green is importantly of all, he had offensive 44-38, a .537 winning percentage. guru Al Saunders in the booth Huard has proven to be a fiery leadcalling his plays.

Starting Green would leave Edwards with nothing to gain and everything to lose. If Green plays well, hell probably only match Huards stats. If Green plays poorly, Edwards will be ripped apart by fans for switching quarterbacks and ruining the chemistry of a Chiefs team that seems to be peaking. Taking the previous factors into consideration make it obvious that Huard is the Chiefs quarterback with the most fantasy value. That being said, Greens goldenboy status in Kansas City combined with Huards looming free agency at the end of the year will complicate the situation for Edwards. Edwards could be pressured to show loyalty and appreciation to Green for all hes done in Kansas City. But Edwards wasnt brought in to be a nice guy. He was brought in to win football games, and Huard gives him the best chance to do that. The coachs only saving grace could be that with Johnson plowing through defenses and Gonzalez turning back the hands of time to find his 2004 form, it might not matter which quarterback he starts. Hengel is an Overland Park senior in finance. Edited by Travis Robinett.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY

Kansas City Chiefs Damon Huard has performed well in place of injured-starting-quarterback Trent Green. When comparing fantasy numbers, Green and Huard are exactly the same, averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game as Kansas Citys starter.

NFL quarterback conveys 2006 election toss-ups

ASSOCIATED PRESS Former NFL quarterback Heath Shuler had a theory about his win in a U.S. House race. They talk about these sports analogies that I use, but let me tell you what, Shuler said in his victory speech. It is about teamwork. Shuler beat a Republican incumbent for a congressional spot in North Carolina, track great Jim Ryun lost his race and Super Bowl star Lynn Swann fell short Tuesday in elections involving ex-athletes. Shulers race had been considered a tossup, and was one of the closely watched campaigns in the effort by Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives.

BY FRED LIEF

Ryun, a Kansas Republican and once the world-record holder in the mile, lost in his bid for a sixth term in the House. I am really, really grateful for all that you have done, Ryun said in conceding. There are so many rich stories and rich memories. I cherish those. Swann, the Hall of Fame receiver whose football career was one long string of successes, was beaten in his bid to become Pennsylvanias governor. Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning, the Hall of Fame pitcher, does not go before voters until 2010. Tom Osborne, the former Nebraska congressman and longtime Cornhuskers football coach, lost in a gubernatorial primary.

Miami Hurricane team mourns loss of player

Police investigation continues for Bryan Pata
BY TIM REYNOLDS
ASSOCIATED PRESS total shock. We had practice, then we had dinner after practice with the players. Just total shock. Players returned to the athletic complex shortly after learning of Patas death and stayed for several hours. They met with team chaplains and grief counselors, and several teammates were interviewed by Miami-Dade police detectives. The Hurricanes have dealt with plenty of problems this season, including a July shooting in which safety Willie Cooper was slightly injured and a sideline-clearing brawl last month in a game against Florida International. Its spiritual, but Gods not going to give you more than you can handle, Coker said. And Im just disappointed that he trusts us so much, because weve been getting a lot to handle. Miami players were not available for comment after practice Wednesday. They walked off the field nearly in total silence, with some peeling off their orange, green and white jerseys before shuffling into the locker room. Pata was the second UM student to be killed in the last week; senior John Warnecke died last Thursday in a car crash. A memorial service for Pata was scheduled for noon Nov. 15, and former teammates expressed shock and outrage over his killing. Its a product of ignorant individuals and stupid people who dont care about life, said Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle, a former Miami standout and a South Florida native. Its tragic. I feel for him and his family. Well-wishes also poured in from around the Atlantic Coast Conference. Commissioner John Swofford released a statement offering prayers to Patas family and the UM community, while many of the leagues players and coaches expressed their condolences to Coker and the Hurricanes. CORAL GABLES, Fla. The plan called for the Miami Hurricanes to have a normal practice, two hours of working on third-down blitz packages and kickoff returns. Normal wasnt possible Wednesday. Less than 24 hours after Bryan Pata, one of the Hurricanes mostrespected players, was killed outside his apartment, his team was back on the football field, preparing for Saturdays game at No. 23 Maryland. They felt like Bryan would want to practice. They felt like Bryan would want to play, Miami coach Larry Coker said. Thats a decision that we respected, and I think its the right decision. Weve talked to a lot of teams that have had tragedies, and the thing that theyve all said is Youve got to get back. Pata, 22, was shot to death Tuesday night outside his offcampus apartment, less than two hours after practice and an informal team dinner ended. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman was found dead in the apartment complexs parking lot when police arrived, and detectives ruled it a homicide. Det. Roy Rutland, spokesman for the Miami-Dade County Police Department, said police searched Patas apartment after the shooting. He would not provide any details about what officers sought and what was found. No other details were released. The investigators are following all leads, and the release of any information at this time could compromise the investigation, Rutland said Wednesday. Coker said two assistant coaches came into his office and told him the news shortly after the shooting. Its something you never anticipate, never, Coker said. You expect maybe a sprained ankle but nothing more than that. Just

Whats this guy smoking today? Schiano said this week. But the alternative is to sit there and say, Well, I dont know, well see. So I think that kind of thinking is what carries you through the tough times, and it gives you a consistency that in the athletics world is hugely important. Thursdays game will be the second in consecutive weeks that pits

two undefeated Big East teams, after Louisvilles 44-34 defeat of then-No. 3 West Virginia last Thursday. The win vaulted Louisville (-0) to thirdplace in the Bowl Championship Series standings, but detractors still question the conferences strength. What we feel is that we went out on the field and played great football, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. Weve played everybody we went up against and did a nice job. Our players here listen and are certainly motivated. We probably need to get (ESPN analyst) Lee Corso to keep talking about us. Louisville (8-0) has already entered uncharted territory with its highest ranking and spot in the thick of the national title race. A win by Rutgers (8-0) would dash Louisvilles title hopes and move the Scarlet Knights into the national championship discussion. While Louisvilles win over West Virginia is viewed as a defining moment in the programs history, Rutgers is coming into the game off one of its worst performances of the season. The Scarlet Knights beat Connecticut 24-13 two Sundays ago with only one offensive touchdown.
