While University of Kansas

graduate Jim Ryun lost his place in
Congress on Tuesday, another grad-
uate of the University earned a seat
in the U.S. House of Representatives
representing Colorado.
Doug Lamborn, who holds two
degrees from the University, was
elected from Colorados 5th district.
He graduated from the University
with a degree in journalism in 1978
and from the
School of Law in
1985. He worked
as a reporter for
The University
Daily Kansan, as
did his daughter
Eve in 2001.
In Colorado
Springs, Colo.,
Lamborn cam-
paigned on a socially conservative
platform that brought him a solid
victory against his Democratic
opponent Jay Fawcett, 59 percent to
41 percent.
Lamborns wife Jeanie said she
appreciated her husbands steady
outlook during a campaign that fea-
tured a series of personal attacks
against Lamborn.
He never wavered, she said. He
was very committed to running a
campaign based on the issues.
This election wasnt Lamborns
first brush with politics. Four years
after finishing his bachelors degree,
he attempted a quick run for the
Kansas legislature while he lived in
Lawrence.
Without any political experience,
Lamborn came within 10 percentage
points of representing a largely stu-
dent-populated section of Lawrence.
I was kind of a sacrificial lamb,
Lamborn joked. He said he was a
Reagan Republican, while the stu-
dent-dominated areas tended to lean
strongly toward Democrats.
As a journalism school student,
Lamborn enjoyed poking fun at his
fellow students irreverence. One
time he posted a flyer for a mock
prayer meeting, and the next day
someone had posted a notice for a
black mass next to his faux prayer-
meeting notice, Lamborn said.
Lamborn recalled the journalism
school as a place on fire after the
Watergate scandal.
Everyone was going out to
change the world, Lamborn said.
I probably shared some of the same
sentiment myself.
At the School of Law, Lamborns
professors remember him as a quiet
but effective student. Michael Davis,
professor of law, was the schools dean
when Lamborn graduated in 1985.
Davis said Lamborn was usually
not out in front but that he did a
nice job of oral argument.
Lamborn went from law into pol-
itics and the Colorado state legisla-
ture in 1995. Though hell represent
Colorado in Congress, he still keeps
track of familiar staples of KU life.
I love Jayhawk basketball,
Lamborn said. I remember watch-
ing Danny Manning and other KU
greats.

Former Secretary of defense donald Rumsfeld claps in appreciation for the men and women in service who attended his speechThursday at Kansas State University. Rumsfeld addressed the
current conditions of the country and the war. He took questions fromthe audience and declined to comment on his own performance as secretary of defense, sayinghistory will decide.His advice to
students was study history.While in Manhattan, Rumsfeld also attended a public ceremony to rename their military science building in honor of Gen. Richard Myers.
Rumsfeld evades topic of resignation
By danny luPPino
Earl Schweppe, founder of the KU
computer science program, said an
e-mail led him to embark last week
on what he called an archeological
dig.
The e-mail from Aaron Blanchard,
electrical engineering and comput-
er sciences lab director, informed
Schweppe that the remains of a com-
puter believed to be the first on cam-
pus had been found in the basement
of Learned Hall.
Blanchard told Schweppe, profes-
sor emeritus of electrical engineer-
ing and computer science, that he
could take the machine or it would
be thrown away.
I didnt like that idea because
its a significant piece of history,
Schweppe said.
Schweppe, who wanted to salvage
the computer six years ago and thought
it had been discarded, began moving it
to his home last week in an attempt to
restore the landmark machine.
The machine, an IBM 650, was an
important part of the development
of computing in the United States.
Schweppe called it the first mass-
produced computer in the world,
with about 2,000 made. Discounts
offered by IBM expanded its use on
college campuses.
Just about every major university
in the country had one, Schweppe
said.
The University first purchased the
computer in 1957, and Schweppe
said it remained the main computer
on campus for the next five years.

The sound of Savion Glovers feet
tapping in rapid rhythm against a
wooden stage coalesces with the
music of classical artists like John
Philip Sousa and Vivaldi in Glovers
show, Classical Savion.
Glover, a renowned tap dancer
and choreographer, will perform the
show at 7:30 tonight at the Lied
Center.
He won a Tony award for his cho-
reography in the Broadway hit Bring
in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk. He
has performed internationally with
two dance companies he created, Not
Your Ordinary Tappers and Ti Dii.
He has also performed on Sesame
Street, the 1997 opening to Monday
Night Football, a Nike commercial
and for President Clinton.
He has been consistently called
probably the best dancer there has
ever been, said Willie Lenoir, pro-
fessor of dance, who saw Glover on
Broadway.
Royce Matthews, a local tap danc-
er, said combining tap dance with
classical music created an extraordi-
nary experience for audiences.
You think theyre exact oppo-
sites, Matthews said. Somehow he
puts them together.
Rachel Sanner, Lawrence sopho-
more and dance student, said stu-
dents shouldnt be turned off by
the classical music in the show. She
said the show was fast-moving and
captivating.
Its more than dancing to the
music, Sanner said. He makes his
feet an instrument.
Matthews said most people have
not seen the type of rhythmic tap
that Savion performs. Rhythm tap
involves fast, complex foot work,
rather than hands, arms and smiles,
Matthews said.
Glover radiates energy during
his performances, Matthews said.
Glovers dreadlocks flail around his
head and sweat soaks his bent body
as he dances.
His footwork is amazing,
Matthews said. He makes it look so
easy and so fun. Hes got a smile on
his face, hes getting down and loving
it. Thats the coolest part of it.
Tickets for students are $19.50
or $24. For more information, call

Former secretary
of defense talks
at K-State campus
about Iraq war,
fghting terrorism
lamborn
By JacK WEinstEin
Donald Rumsfeld chose not to
address his Wednesday resigna-
tion nor Tuesdays midterm elec-
tions when he spoke Thursday at the
Kansas State University campus.
The former secretary of defense
did joke that the events of the past
couple of days, including his resigna-
tion, put the lecture series for which
he was speaking on the map.
I hope you all appreciate how
skillfully I managed the public affairs
for this event, he said.
Rumsfeld, who directed the
Department of Defense after the Sept.
11 attacks and helped wage the war
on terror, delivered the 146th Landon
Lecture at Bramlage Coliseum on the
Kansas State Campus. He addressed
the war in Iraq, a war he said was
unfamiliar and not completely
understood, even today.
He compared the Iraq war to the
Cold War, noting that Thursday was
the 17th anniversary of the breach
of the Berlin Wall. He addressed the
similarities between the two wars,
specifically that it would take years
to resolve the Iraq war as it did for
the Cold War. He also said the U.S.
needed to adapt and change its strat-
egies as it did with the Cold War.

A 20-year-old KU student
bicyclist struck a car hard
enough to substantially dent
it Wednesday at the intersec-
tion of Jayhawk Boulevard and
Sunfower Road. The car had
stopped because a pedestrian
was crossing the street as the
driver waited to turn right. The
student said that he initially saw
the car as his bike approached
the intersection and that after
looking in one direction, he
assumed the car had proceeded
from the intersection.
The student started pedal-
ing and struck the rear driver-
side panel. The impact made
a large dent in the side of the
car, a 1995 Cadillac Seville, and
catapulted the student onto the
trunk. The student sustained
scratches on his elbow and
declined medical treatment.

She entered the world of stand
up comedy when she was 16. She
has written best-selling books. She
tours nationally, and has taken up
belly dancing. She won the ACLU
First Amendment Award.
She is Margaret Cho, and she
will be performing her comedy
routine at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at
Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.,
in Lawrence.
The show is open to all ages,
and tickets are available both at the
Liberty Hall box office and through
Ticketmaster. Ticket prices range
from $30 to $40 with floor tick-
ets ranging from $36 to $40, and
balcony seats are available for $30
to $40.
As of Thursday, there were about
100 tickets left for sale, but Cho is
expected to perform in front of a
packed house Saturday night, so
do not count on getting tickets at
the door.
Shes popular, Kristin Soper,
Liberty Hall employee, said. I
think shell do really well. It will
probably sell out.
According to Chos official Web
site, she was born in 1968 and grew
up in San Francisco. Her comedy
career began when she performed
at a comedy club above her par-
ents bookstore. Not long after that,
she won a comedy contest and
opened for Jerry Seinfeld. Since
then, Cho has been in TV sitcoms,
written books, including best-sell-
er, Im the One That I Want,
toured nationally and has taken a
stand politically. Cho has blogs and
has been a part of campaigns sup-
porting gay marriage and human
rights.
Lawrence is a liberal town,
Soper said, and shes a liberal
comedian. I think its something
students would enjoy.
According to Lawrence.com,
Chos performance at Liberty Hall
will include comedy about her fam-
ily, politics, the news and sexuality.
Shes funny, Julie Heschmeyer,
Lawrence sophomore, said. I
think its great that shes coming to
Lawrence.

Free food in exchange for
reducing campaign clutter
CHARLESTON, S.C. With the
election season over, campaign
signs are now worth their weight in
spinach dip.
So says the Southeast restaurant
chain Sticky Fingers, which is ofer-
ing a free appetizer to anyone who
cleans up the campaign clutter and
brings in a sign.
Just think of those leftover cam-
paign signs as oversized, roadside

Nevadans vow to fght

RENO, Nev. Backers of a
move to legalize small amounts of

the polls.
If anything, they were encour-
aged by the voters support and
pledged Wednesday to try again.
The reality is, in the history
of this country, no pot initiative
has gotten the vote total were
going to end up getting, said Neal
Levine, campaign manager for the
Committee to Control and Regu-
late Marijuana.
Nevadans can expect the issue
to appear again in 2008 or 2010,
he said.
Its 100 percent certainty that
we will be back on the ballot,
Levine said. Weve been working
this state for fve years, and were
not going anywhere.
Voters rejected the question,
56 percent to 44 percent. It passed
only in tiny Storey County, by a
mere 95 votes of 1,851 cast.
Buy the naming rights
to an artifcial coral reef
KEY WEST, Fla. Call it an op-

An online auction began
Wednesday for naming rights to
an artifcial reef project organizers
hope to establish of the Florida
Keys.
The reef is to be created by
sinking the retired 524-foot U.S. Air
Force missile-tracking ship General
Hoyt S. Vandenberg, which moni-
tored NASA space launches from
1963 to 1983.
Since 1984, the ship has been
among other decommissioned
vessels at the James River Naval Re-
serve Fleet in Virginias James River.
The so-called Ghost Fleet is being
thinned because of environmental
concerns.
Bidding on the online auction
site eBay Inc. starts at $900,000,
with a reserve price of $1.3 mil-
lion, said Joe Weatherby, a project
organizer with Artifcial Reefs of
the Keys.
Its the last piece of a funding
puzzle needed for the $5.7 million
project. ARK has already gathered
$3 million, but needs the rest to
avoid losing the ship to scrap yard.
This is for someone who is look-
ing for a legacy,Weatherby said.
Its something for an individual or
a company that is permanent and
positive for the environment.

Responding to requests and rec-
ommendations, KU Dining Services
is offering some organic foods at
The Market in the Kansas Union.
The Market carries a line of organic
snacks, a spring mix and fruit.
Ann Chapman, Watkins
Memorial Health Center dietitian,
said it was sometimes advantageous
to purchase organic foods.
For example, Consumers Union
recommends organic beef because it
greatly reduces the risk of mad cow
disease, she said. But for other foods,
such as breads, pastas and oils, there
may not be many benefits to buying
organic food, she said.
Offering organic and sustainable
food options on campus is becom-
ing a trend in the Ivy League and
at many other universities, but the
University of Kansas is still weighing
its options.
Organic refers to food that is
produced without synthetic pes-
ticides, herbicides or fertilizer.
Sustainable food uses practices that
emphasize ecology, the seasons and
humane treatment of animals and
workers, according to the Center
for Agroecology and Sustainable
Food Systems at the University of
California-Santa Cruz.
According to the Yale Universitys
Sustainable Food Projects annual
2005 report, Brown University,
Harvard University, Stanford
University and Wesleyan University
are on their way to implementing
some version of sustainable food pro-
grams. The University of Nebraska is
using information from the report to
develop a similar program.
Josh Viertel, director of the Yale
project, said the idea to serve organic
foods came from a class. He said that
students learned about the toxicity
of certain foods, then realized they
were a captive audience, having to
eat those foods in the dining halls.
The students formed an organiza-
tion and talked with the administra-
tion about serving more sustainable
and organic foods, he said.
In the last year, there have been
more requests or questions about
serving organic food, but the
University is just in the infancy of
looking into organic food on cam-
pus, said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant
director of KU Dining Services.
Three factors are important in
evaluating whether organic food
would be a good choice for the
University: availability, price and,
most importantly, quality, Kidwell
said. The testing is being done at The
Market so dining services can gauge
what the entire University popula-
tion wants rather than just students
at the dining halls, she said.
If the University did start an
organic food program in the dining
halls, Kidwell said the cost of organic
products would reflect in their retail
price. Organic foods are often more
expensive than regular ones.
Chase Schultz, Goessel sophomore,
said he grew up eating organic food
and chose it as a health choice first,
but also for the local community.
He said it would a good for the
University to serve more organic
food.
I would love that, he said. It
would be great.
The University of Colorado-
Boulder established a successful
organic food program by opening
a small store that sells only organ-
ic food. Kidwell said she thought
that would be a good idea for the
University as well.
Valerie Skubal, Shawnee fresh-
man, said she would buy some
organic food if it were offered on
campus, but only products she was
already familiar with.
A good reason to eat organic food
is because it was healthier and helps
to support the community and social
values, she said.
Kidwell said dining services was
proceeding slowly with organic food
to make sure what were doing is
what customers really want.

University tries organic food
KU Dining Services considers offering eco-friendly choices

GALVESTON, Texas BP
PLC settled on Thursday the last
remaining death-related lawsuit
from the 2005 Texas City refin-
ery blast that killed 15, wounded
170 and brought accusations of lax
management at the oil company.
Just as jury selection was begin-
ning in what would have been the
first civil case from the explosion
to go to trial, the woman whose
parents had been killed in the blast,
and who had refused to settle,
relented.
Eva Rowe, 22, walked away with
an unknown amount, but the set-
tlement also called for London-
based BP to continue to release
documents related to the case and
to donate millions to schools and
medical facilities, including one
where victims were treated after
the March 2005 explosion.
In the weeks leading to the trial,
Rowe steadfastly contended that
she was suing BP to focus atten-
tion on the accident and to prevent
others from happening after the
deaths of 48-year-old James Rowe
and his wife, Linda Rowe, 47, of
Hornbeck, La.
Brent Coon, Eva Rowes attorney,
stressed that efforts to settle the
case always included stipulations
that BP make the refinery and other
facilities safer.
Money did not solve all the
problems, Coon said.
The donations, which could total
$38 million, include $1 million for
the school system in Hornbeck,
where Linda Rowe was a teach-
ers aide. The adult burn unit at
the University of Texas Medical
Branch at Galveston, which treated
victims of the blast, will get $12.5
million.
I am very satisfied to be able to
help so many people in the commu-
nity, Eva Rowe said. I dont want
my parents to be forgotten.
Rowe also sued former Texas
City plant manager Don Parus and
J.E. Merit Constructors Inc., which
employed her parents. Both were
released from the lawsuit in the
settlement.

The military is equipped for
a conventional war, not an asym-
metrical one, he said.
Rumsfeld added that it would
take the cooperation of all depart-
ments defense, diplomacy and
developments because the mili-
tary couldnt win the war alone.
He addressed ways in which the
government needed to be strength-
ened and said, Our grandchildren
will look back on this war as defin-
ing a moment in American history
as World War II was.
He said it would take some time,
but eventually Americans would
find answers and overcome the
lethal threats that challenge our
country.
He concluded by saying that he
thought America would persevere
in the war if it made the right
choices to understand the war.
In spite of everything the enemy
tries to make the world think other-
wise, America is not whats wrong
with the world, Rumsfeld said.
Let there be no doubt we are on
freedoms side.
A brief Q-and-A session fol-
lowed his speech. One audience
member asked Rumsfeld to grade
his performance as secretary of
defense.
Ill let history worry about that,
he said.
Paul Mintner, Kansas State fresh-
man, said he was indifferent to the
former secretary of defense before
his speech but that he thought
Rumsfeld seemed more genuine
because he was out of the con-
straints of office.
I appreciated his optimism for
the war on terrorism, he said.
Manuel Corona, a member of
one of the military teams attending
from Fort Riley, said he thought
the former secretary did an out-
standing job while in office, but he
was surprised his resignation didnt
come up during the lecture.
I expected he would talk more
about his resignation, he said.
Gen. Richard Myers, the for-
mer joint chief of staff, introduced
Rumsfeld. Myers served as the
principal adviser to the president,
Rumseld and the National Security
Council when he served in the
position from 2001 to 2005.
Rumsfeld also attended the dedi-
cation of the military science build-
ing Thursday afternoon at K-State,
named in honor of Gen. Myers.
The Landon Lecture Series on
Public Issues is named in honor of
former Kansas Governor Alfred M.
Landon, who was the first to give
the speech in 1966. Recent speakers
include President George W. Bush
and Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan).
The audience was limited to
about 6,000 K-State students, fac-
ulty and staff, Landon Lecture
patrons and a contingent of mili-
tary service members from nearby
Fort Riley.

Much of the credit for getting
the machine on campus went to
the late mathematics professor G.
Bailey Price and former Chancellor
Franklin David Murphy.
It was the point where the
University recognized the impor-
tance of computers in mathematics,
Blanchard said.
He also credited the computer
with playing a major role in causing
computers to become smaller. The
IBM 650, though 6 feet tall and 5 feet
deep, was smaller than its predeces-
sors, which Blanchard said occupied
entire floors.
The machines capabilities were
limited. Schweppe said the memory
was capable only of holding 1,000 ten-
digit numbers. Despite those limita-
tions, he said the computer was used
for more than simple tabulation and
helped lead to significant advances in
fields like chemical engineering.
You wouldnt believe what was
done, Schweppe said. It was lim-
ited, but it was absolutely amazing.
Blanchard said his department
now had about 500 computers, each
with 2-gigahertz processors.
To put it another way, we prob-
ably have about 100 million times
the computing power of the IBM
650 in the department right now,
Blanchard said.
But the 650 started the comput-
er revolution on campus, and that,
Schweppe said, made it worthy of
being salvaged.
This machine was a big step for
the University, Schweppe said.

NEW YORK Ed Bradley, the
award-winning television jour-
nalist who broke racial barriers at
CBS News and created a distinc-
tive, powerful body of work during
his 26 years on 60 Minutes, died
Thursday. He was 65.
Bradley died of leukemia at
Mount Sinai hospital, CBS News
announced.
He landed many memorable
interviews, including the Duke
lacrosse players accused of rape,
Michael Jackson and the only TV
interview with Oklahoma City
bomber Timothy McVeigh.
Bradley was tough in an inter-
view, he was insistent on getting an
interview, said former CBS News
anchor Walter Cronkite, and at the
same time when the interview was
over, when the subject had taken a
pretty heavy lashing by him, they
left as friends. He was that kind of
guy.
With his signature earring and
beard, Bradley was considered
intelligent, smooth, cool, a great
reporter, beloved and respected
by all his colleagues here at CBS
News, Katie Couric said in a spe-
cial report.
Bradleys consummate skills were
recognized with numerous awards,
including four George Foster
Peabody awards and 19 Emmys, the
latest for a segment on the reopen-
ing of the 50-year-old racial murder
case of Emmett Till.
Three of his Emmys came at
the 2003 awards: for lifetime
achievement; a report on brain
cancer patients; and a report
about sexual abuse in the Roman
Catholic Church. He also won a
lifetime achievement award from
the National Association of Black
Journalists.
Bradley joined 60 Minutes
in 1981 when Dan Rather left to
replace Cronkite as anchor of The
CBS Evening News.
His reporting ability was matched
by his interviewing finesse. When
he spoke with McVeigh in February
2000 at the federal prison in Terre
Haute, Ind., the convicted bomb-
er told Bradley that he was angry
and bitter after fighting in the Gulf
War. In December 2003, Jackson
said he had been manhandled
when arrested on child molestation
charges a few weeks earlier.
Ed could get people to say the
damndest thing because he put
them at ease, said former NBC
News anchor Tom Brokaw said
Thursday.
Though he had been ill and
had undergone heart bypass sur-
gery about a year ago, he remained
active on 60 Minutes. In one of
his last reports, an investigation of
the Duke case that aired last month,
he broke new ground with the first
interviews with the accused.
Born June 22, 1941, Bradley
grew up in a tough section of
Philadelphia, where he once recalled
that his parents worked 20-hour
days at two jobs apiece. I was told,
`You can be anything you want,
kid, he once told an interviewer.
When you hear that often enough,
you believe it.
After graduating from the his-
torically black Cheyney State
College (now Cheyney University
of Pennsylvania), he launched his
career as a jazz DJ he was a life-
long jazz fan and news reporter
for a Philadelphia radio station
in 1963. He moved to New Yorks
WCBS radio four years later.
He joined CBS News as a stringer
in the Paris bureau in 1971, trans-
ferring a year later to the Saigon
bureau during the Vietnam War.
He was wounded while on assign-
ment in Cambodia. He was named
a CBS News correspondent in early
1973 and moved to the Washington
bureau in June 1974. He later
returned to Vietnam, covering the
fall of that country and Cambodia.
Cronkite recalled first meeting
Bradley in Vietnam: He seemed
to be fearless, an incredibly smart
reporter in getting the story.
After Southeast Asia, Bradley
returned to the United States and
covered Jimmy Carters successful
campaign for the White House. He
followed Carter to Washington,
in 1976 becoming CBS first black
White House correspondent.
He jumped from Washington to
doing pieces for CBS Reports, trav-
eling to Cambodia, China, Malaysia
and Saudi Arabia. It was his Emmy-
winning 1979 piece on Vietnamese
boat refugees that eventually landed
him on 60 Minutes.
Bradley recently served as
a radio host for Jazz at Lincoln
Center, where he won one of his
four Peabody awards.
Wynton Marsalis, artistic direc-
tor of Lincoln Centers jazz depart-
ment, called Bradley one of our
definitive cultural figures, a man of
unsurpassed curiosity, intelligence,
dignity and heart.
Accepting his lifetime achieve-
ment award from the black jour-
nalists association, Bradley remem-
bered being present at some of the
organizations first meetings in New
York.
I look around this room tonight
and I can see how much our profes-
sion has changed and our numbers
have grown, he said. I also see it
every day as I travel the country
reporting stories for 60 Minutes.
All I have to do is turn on the TV
and I can see the progress that has
been made.
But, he added, There are many
more rivers to cross, and many
more stories to cover and, I hope, a
lot left in this lifetime.
Bradley is survived by his wife,
Patricia Blanchet.

Klines memo
called worst
abuse of religion
By JOHN HANNA
AssOcIAtEd PREss
TOPEKA A memo Attorney
General Phill Kline wrote outlining
a plan to fully tap his support among
churchgoers was the worst abuse of
religion in American politics during
the 2006 election cycle, a national
group said Wednesday.
Klines directions to his campaign
staff included making sure friendly
pastors brought money people to
fundraisers and signing up church
members to help with passing out
campaign literature. It said one goal
was to form a pro-Kline committee
at each church.
The memos designation came from
the Interfaith Alliance, a Washington-
based group that promotes the separa-
tion of church and state and govern-
ment neutrality on religion.
Kline already faced criticism over
his activities involving churches.
Former Attorney General Bob
Stephan, a fellow
Republican who
broke with Kline
politically, asked
the state ethics
commission to
investigate church
activities, and
Americans United
for Separation of
Church and State
filed a complaint
with the Internal
Revenue Service.
The internal campaign memo,
dated Aug. 8, became public the
next month when someone leaked it
anonymously to news organizations.
It likely contributed to Klines loss
Tuesday to Democrat Paul Morrison,
the Johnson County district attor-
ney, because many voters thought
it showed Kline used religion for
political enrichment.
I think the memo that Phill Kline
wrote to his staff demonstrated how
drastically he wanted to use pastors
to raise money for his campaign,
said William Blake, a spokesman for
the Interfaith Alliance.
Kline repeatedly insisted that inspi-
rational messages he sometimes gave
at churches werent connected to cam-
paign activities. For years, Kline has
spoken during services and to church
groups about reconciling with his once-
estranged father and the importance of
people having God in their lives.
He and his aides also have said
Kline was careful to see that neither he
nor churches would run afoul on fed-
eral tax laws against nonprofit groups
intervening in partisan campaigns.
Kline spokeswoman Sherriene
Jones said she had no reaction.
But GOP State Chairman Tim
Shallenburger questioned whether
Kansans would care about the assess-
ment of a group whose sole effort is
to separate God from country.
How fair is it? I guess my ques-
tion is what difference does it make?
Shallenburger said. I dont think
you can look at the Kline election
from either side, from a variety of
issues, and find the word fair.
Kline already had received national
attention for his two-year effort to
obtain records of 90 patients from two
abortion clinics.
The alliances
list chided both
Democrats and
Republ i cans,
including Rep.
Nancy Pelosi,
D - C a l i f . ,
expected to
become House
speaker. The
alliance includ-
ed her because
she encouraged
Democrats to couch campaign argu-
ments in Biblical terms to appeal to
people of faith.
People of faith dont deserve to be
treated like members of a labor union
or members of the business commu-
nity, Blake said. They deserve a lot
more respect than that because they cut
across all sort of partisan, ideological
lines, not to mention theological lines.
Inside Klines campaign, his memo
became known as the Slimfast
memo because in it, the candidate
told his staff that if he had free time,
he should be taken to a quiet place so
that he could make phone calls.
Feed me Slimfast, Kline wrote.
Do not need a sit down meal. Takes
too much time.
People of faith dont deserve
to be treated like members of a
labor union or members of the
business community.

FDA fnds metal
in acetaminophen
By ANdREW BRIdGEs
AssOcIAtEd PREss
WASHINGTON Check your
medicine cabinet: Millions of bottles
of the widely used pain reliever acet-
aminophen some sold as long as
three years ago are being recalled
because they may contain metal
fragments.
The recall affects 11 million bot-
tles containing varying quantities
of 500-milligram acetaminophen
caplets made by the Perrigo Co. The
pills were sold under store brands by
Wal-Mart, CVS, Safeway and more
than 120 other major retailers, the
Food and Drug Administration said.
At least two chains CVS Corp. and
SuperValu Inc. started pulling the
pills from store shelves Thursday.
There were no immediate reports
of injuries or illness. The contami-
nated pills included metal fragments
ranging in size from microdots to
portions of wire one-third of an inch
long, the FDA said. The FDA could
not describe further the type of metal.
Perrigo discovered the metal
bits during quality-control checks
done after the company discovered
its equipment was wearing down
prematurely, the FDA said. Agency
officials declined to say whether the
metal found in the pills caused the
damage or resulted from it.
A company investigation found
metal in roughly 200 pills of the 70
million it passed through a metal
detector, according to the FDA.
Consumers who take any of the
contaminated pills could have minor
stomach discomfort or possible cuts
to the mouth and throat, the FDA
said, adding that the risk of serious
injury was remote.
The recall does not affect prod-
ucts sold under the Tylenol brand.
Perrigo said the retail pain reliever
market is worth more than $2 billion
a year. The company is the worlds
largest manufacturer of store-brand
nonprescription drugs.
The 129 retailers that could be
affected by the recall include Wal-
Mart Stores Inc., CVS, Safeway
Stores and SuperValu. They typically
sell the Perrigo-made pills under
their own or other private labels.
Perrigo, based in Allegan, Mich.,
said the pills contained raw material
purchased from a third-party supplier
and affected 383 batches. Messages left
Thursday with two company spokes-
men were not immediately returned.
The agency does not suspect the
contamination was deliberate, said
Dr. Douglas Throckmorton, depu-
ty director of the FDAs Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research.
The FDA did not know in which
states the pills had been sold, but
recommended that customers deter-
mine whether products they bought
are being recalled by checking the
store list on the FDA Web site, http://
www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perri-
go/perrigocustlist.html and the batch
list, http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmre-
calls/perrigo/perrigobatchlist.html
The batch numbers appear on the
containers label.

This weekend starts the
long-anticipated mens basket-
ball season when Kansas takes
on Northern Arizona Saturday
night. And while the buzz con-
tinues to grow about the men,
lets not forget to support our
womens basketball team.
The womens team tips it off
Saturday afternoon against Seton
Hall in Kansas City.
Last year, coach Bonnie
Henricksons team jumped out
of the gates by winning its first
12 games, including the Big 12
opener against Texas. With a 17-
13 record, the team got an invite
to the womens NIT and earned
a postseason win before getting
bounced in the first round.
The Jayhawks are turning the
corner in the past two seasons
the team has more postseason
wins than the mens team. They
have lost some scorers from last
year but have replaced them with
exciting freshmen. Both Danielle
McCray and LaChelda Jacobs
have averaged double figures in
two exhibition games.
With national attention and
high expectations placed on the
men this year, its hard not to get
excited.
But it shouldnt take a 12-0
start or a trip to the postseason
for fans to start supporting the
womens team as well. The sup-
port should start this weekend
and continue throughout the
season.
Louis Mora for the editorial
board
Its hard to beat the feeling of a
true adrenaline rush. Your heart is
pounding in your ears, your hands
are shaking, your blood runs cold
and your whole body feels light and
tingly.
In the past, this much-desired
feeling could be achieved right in
front of your television set, while
watching a scary movie. However,
that heart-pounding, blood-racing,
shaky feeling has slowly given way
to stomach-churning, lost-my-appe-
tite-for-popcorn nausea.
What were once brilliant story-
lines and twisted resolutions are
now disgusting plots and predict-
able endings: Everyone dies except
the repulsive antagonist because he
must return for two or three more
movies where, again, everyone dies.
What has happened to scary
movies?
Some of the first frightening
films date back to the 1920s, when
audiences were petrified by the
massive frame of Frankenstein and
the Counts horrifying fangs.
Gradually, the movies started to
shift. Monsters and zombies were
replaced by the likes of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde and the many dis-
turbed characters born from the
mind of Alfred Hitchcock.
All these films planted fear in
the audiences without, amazingly
enough, tremendous amounts of
blood and guts. Viewers were capti-
vated by the characters creepy man-
nerisms and dialogue. Hitchcock
was proclaimed the master of sus-
pense because he held his audience
in an constant state of wonder.
Somewhere, this genre lost sight
of that wonder and suspense that
Hitchcock mastered. It seems that
the whole idea behind these movies
has changed. Back in the days of
werewolves and crazed ravens, the
intent was just to scare people, to
give them the heightened adrenaline
they craved.
Now, it appears the intent
behind scary films is to display the
many different ways a body can
be maimed and to see how many
people can be induced to vomit.
The genres of scary movies used
to include thriller, scare and
horror movies, but have recently
expanded to include slasher mov-
ies and the latest genre of torture
movies to encompass the scintillat-
ing Saw trilogy.
The presence of violence in these
movies is getting progressively
worse, and people are becoming
progressively more comfortable
with seeing it painted in their living
rooms. Why has the film industry
become so driven by gore?
One reason why movies may
have lost intelligent story lines and
gained bloody ones is that it costs
a substantial amount of money to
make a good movie.
It does not cost a lot of money
to make a really bad movie. In a
film centered on violent acts, spe-
cial effects can be less perfect, less
believable, less expensive. If the
script calls for limbs being sawed
off, chances are Tom Hanks and
Paul Newman arent in line to take
a part, so you dont have to worry
about paying an arm and a leg, pun
intended, for high-profile actors.
Gruesome horror films are low-
budget all around: low-paid actors
and actresses, cheap effects, cheap
wardrobe and a cheap set since
todays psycho torturers probably
wont be staying at the Ritz Carlton.
Cheap or not, the scary movie
business needs some work. Im tired
of starting a movie and shutting it
off after 15 minutes because I cant
stand all the abhorring effects. Im
tired of seeing previews for mov-
ies that fall right in step with the
revolting DVD I just returned to its
case. I challenge filmmakers to take
a few steps backward.
I challenge them to return to a
time of sharp suspense and unfor-
gettable characters. I challenge them
to scare me, not disgust me.

Support womens team
Dear Congressman Dennis
Moore:
Congratulations on your re-
election Tuesday. You probably
feel pretty secure in your seat after
trouncing your challenger to secure
a fifth term as a U.S. Representative
from Kansas Third District. And
you should feel secure, with nation-
al momentum swinging your partys
way.
But Im writing to tell you that,
as a constituent of yours, I wont be
giving you a free pass. Ill be paying
close attention to you during the
next two years. And I want you to
take action to end the conflict in
Darfur, Sudan.
As many as 400,000 people have
died in Darfur, 2.5 million have
been driven from their homes and
countless women have been raped.
This issue means a lot to me
so much that I sound like a bro-
ken record on the subject at times,
as Im sure more than a few bored
University Daily Kansan readers
would tell me. But I cant help but
write about it.
When Leonard Pitts, a Pulitzer
Prize-winning columnist, stopped
by the Kansan newsroom during
his visit to the University this fall, I
asked him how he decided what to
write about.
I write about whatevers pissing
me off at the moment, Pitts said.
Sounds reasonable enough to
me. And, for lack of a better term,
Darfur is whats pissing me off most
of the time.
People are needlessly slaughtered
by the day, and we barely raise
an eyebrow or lift a finger. Now,
according to BBC News, the conflict
is spreading into the neighboring
country of Chad, where even more
people are dying.
But the U.S. mainstream media
would rather alert us about Britney
and K-Feds divorce.
As much as my heart cries out
for Britney, I think genocide is a bit
more important. This is why Im
angry.
And this is why I want you,
Congressman Moore, to act to end
the deaths in Darfur.
Youve voted for several pieces of
legislation aimed at helping Darfur.
Thank you.
But DarfurScores.org gives you
a C for your action on Darfur
because you havent done much else.
I challenge you
to be a leader
on the issue of
Darfur. There
are several ways
you could do
this.
You can help
ensure protec-
tion for states
and universities
that decide to
remove their
investments
from companies
operating in
Sudan.
The
Darfur Peace and Accountability
Act, championed by Sen. Sam
Brownback from Kansas, was signed
by President Bush in October. But,
thanks to lobbying by the National
Foreign Trade Council, the law
lacked a section that would have
guaranteed states the right to divest
from companies operating in Sudan.
The National Foreign Trade
Council represents more than 300
multinational corporations, accord-
ing to The Washington Post. The
Council has already sued the state
of Illinois for its divestment law.
You, Congressman Moore, could
help push for legislation that will
protect states rights to invest their
money as they see fit. Send the mes-
sage that this country cares more
about innocent lives in Sudan than
it does about the stock prices of
international corporations.
You can also lobby the state
legislature to divest all the states
pension funds from corporations
doing business in Sudan. I know the
thought of our states money helping
to fund genocide troubles me great-
ly doesnt it trouble you as well?
You should reach out to Sen.
Brownback for help pushing for
Kansas state divestment. Help put
Kansas money in places where it
wont fund the taking of innocent
lives.
Countless other steps can
be taken to end the atrocities
in Darfur.
Nicholas
Kristof, New
York Times
columnist, sug-
gested several
in a recent col-
umn.
For instance,
you could push
for more talks
with China
about Darfur.
According to
Kristof, China
has sold Sudan
the guns its
soldiers use to
shoot children.
You could join with other people
in the House and the Senate to
tell President Bush he should have
talks with other Arab and African
countries about the atrocities their
neighbor Sudan is committing.
The possibilities are many.
Whats important is that you take a
powerful, public stand on Darfur.
No change can happen until
someone publicly points out the
need for change. The U.S. media,
who should perform this job, have
been asleep on the Darfur issue.
Will you help Congress wake up?
If so, you will have my vote come
2008. If not, Ill be listening awfully
closely to your opponent.

Late Show gives preview
of new opera production
NEW YORK Opera fans got
a preview of the Metropolitan
Operas new production of Rossinis
The Barber of Seville on David
Lettermans Late Show.
An abbreviated performance
from the fnale of the operas frst
act marked the frst time the CBS
late-night talk show had presented
a scene from an opera in full cos-
tume, the Met said.
A 22-piece orchestra, 16-
member chorus and six principal
singers crowded onto Lettermans
signature blue foor Wednesday at
the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the
show is taped.
They ofered viewers a nearly
three-minute preview of the Mets
new production of Barber, which
premieres Friday at Lincoln Center.
Letterman said he was honored
and very excited to have the Met
perform on his show.
Maybe Ill learn something, he
said. These are, like, as good as it
gets in the world of opera.
Peter Mattei, the baritone
who stars as Figaro in the Bartlett
Sher-directed opera, said the Late
Show appearance was very cool,
according to the Mets Web site.
You can call your friends who
know nothing about opera, but
they know Letterman, Mattei said.
Malawian of cials laud
Madonna for adopting boy
EDINBURGH, Scotland Two
senior Malawian of cials have
praised Madonna for adopting a
child from their country and
rebuked those who have criticized
the pop star.
Madonnas eforts to adopt a
motherless 13-month-old boy,
David Banda, from the African
country have set of a media storm.
The 48-year-old singer and her
husband, flmmaker Guy Ritchie,
who have a home in London, were
granted an interim adoption order
by Malawis High Court last month.
Some critics have said it would
have been better for the child if
Madonna had helped his impov-
erished father, Yohane Banda, to
care for him in Malawi. Madonna
has said Banda refused her ofer
of fnancial assistance to help him
keep his son.
What Madonna has done is
great, said Education Minister
Anna Kachikho during a visit
Thursday to a school in the Scottish
capital. Here is Madonna who
has picked a son from a Malawian
father who has lost a wife and
nobody takes care of, and she says,
`I would like to educate and bring
home that child.

LONDON The ancestry of some
famous Americans, including Tom Cruise,
Halle Berry and Donald Trump, is revealed
in immigration records posted on a British
genealogy Web site.
On Thursday, the Web site Ancestry.co.uk
launched more than 100 million U.S. im-
migration records from England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales, showing a list of passen-
gers on voyages from the British Isles to the
United States between 1820 and 1960.
The millions of names in the Ancestry
passenger lists represent brave and color-
ful individuals who played a signifcant
role in shaping what has become modern
America, said Simon Harper, the Web sites
managing director.
The records include date, departure
port, destination, and age.
Cruises great-great-grandfather, Dylan
Henry Mapother, emigrated to Louisville,
Ky., in 1850 from Flint, Wales.
Berrys grandmother, Nellie Dicken,
sailed with her family from Liverpool, Eng-
land, in 1912 to settle in Philadelphia.
Trumps mother, Mary MacLeod, traveled
from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, to America
onboard The Transylvania in 1935.

Actor arrested, taken to jail
on suspicion of stealing car
SANTA MONICA, Calif. Dan-
iel Baldwin has been arrested on
suspicion of stealing a sport utility
vehicle.
Baldwin was stopped Wednes-
day by of cers in Santa Monica
who saw him in a white GMC Yu-
kon reported stolen in neighboring
Orange County, authorities said.
The 46-year-
old actor was
taken to jail
and booked for
investigation of
grand theft auto.
Bail was set at
$20,000.
The car
belongs to an
acquaintance of
Mr. Baldwin, but he had no permis-
sion to take it, said Jim Amor-
mino, a spokesman for the Orange
County sherifs department.
An after-hours call to Baldwins
attorney wasnt immediately
returned.
Baldwin made news in July
when he drove a rented car at
more than 80 mph through Los
Angeles traf c and crashed into
two parked vehicles. Baldwin,
brother of actors Alec, Stephen
and William, has appeared in the
television series Homicide: Life on
the Street and the movie Car 54,
Where Are You?
Pop band postpones tour;
no new dates announced
LONDON Culture Club an-
nounced they are postponing a
reunion tour, days after criticizing
former frontman Boy George.
Three founding members of
the 80s pop band drummer
Jon Moss, bassist Mikey Craig and
keyboard player Phil Pickett had
been due to start a British tour Dec.
7 with new singer Sam Butcher
replacing George.
A statement issued Wednesday
by Culture Clubs manager, Tony
Gordon, said the tour was being
postponed until next year so the
band could fnish recording tracks
for a new album.
No new dates were announced.
Band members said they wanted
to begin the tour with the release
of a hit comparable to our world-
wide hits `Karma Chameleon and
`Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.
Moss and Craig told The As-
sociated Press last week that they
were fed up with criticism from
Boy George, who declined to join
the reunion tour and declared new
singer Butcher was dreadful.
The only person George loves is
George, Moss told the AP. Hes like
a nightmare ex-wife.
Dances with Wolves author
goes on tour in Oklahoma
WEATHERFORD, Okla. Okla-
homans should honor the land
and those who came before them,
said Michael Blake, who won an
Academy Award for the screenplay
version of his novel Dances With
Wolves.
Blake returned Wednesday to
western Oklahomas Southern
Plains, which inspired the novel, as
part of a three-day speaking tour.
Blake recounted how history in-
spired him to chase his own dream
of becoming a successful writer.
For 27 years, I worked every
odd job imaginable so I could
become a writer, Blake said. Then,
in 1986, I began writing my frst
novel.

Richards destroys laptops,
injures patrons in process
RICHMOND, British Columbia
A spokeswoman for Denise Rich-
ards blamed aggressive paparazzi
for a run-in that prompted the
Hollywood actress to toss a pair of
laptops from a balcony, causing mi-
nor injuries to two elderly women.
Howard Blank, a spokesman for
the River Rock casino resort in the
Vancouver suburb, confrmed an
incident took place Wednesday
evening.
Global TV reported Richards
was flming a scene for the movie
Blonde and Blonder when she al-
legedly confronted a photographer
trying to take her picture. Richards
threw the laptop computers of a
balcony, hitting two elderly women
sitting in the lobby below.
Paramedics were called but the
women did not appear to be seri-
ously injured.
Based on the actions of the
paparazzi, they are lucky their lap-
tops were the only things that were
thrown of the ledge, Richards
publicist, Nicole Perez, said in Los
Angeles on Thursday.
A statement from Blonde and
Blonder producer Dean Bornstein
indicated that a number of unau-
thorized persons got onto the set
and began harassing members of
the cast.
While trying to stop the
paparazzi, Denise Richards was in-
volved in an altercation, Bornstein
said.

ACC footbAll
By TIM REyNOLDS
ASSOcIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. A
few minutes past noon Tuesday,
Anthony Wollschlager was asked a
simple question about the state of
Miamis football season.
Can anything else go wrong?
The Hurricanes center shifted in
his chair and thought for a moment,
possibly review-
ing all the issues
that his team
faced to that
point, includ-
ing:
A pre-
season shoot-
ing where a
teammate was
lucky to come
away with only
minor injuries.
The sus-
pension of a top
receiver after
he was involved in a fight with a
woman.
Four disappointing losses that
prompted speculation about coach
Larry Cokers job security.
Injuries to several key players,
including many starters.
An ugly bench-clearing brawl
that had some pundits calling for
the elimination of Miamis football
program.
Wollschlager took a breath,
looked up and began delivering his
answer.
Usually when you ask that,
something else usually does go
wrong, he said, so Im not going
to ask it.
He laughed, as did everybody
standing around him, all unaware
that the Hurricanes would experi-
ence a true tragedy about seven
hours later, when something else
would go horribly and unbeliev-
ably wrong.
If you coach very long, youre
going to have all these things hap-
pen, Coker said. Theyre all going
to happen to
you. But not in
the same year.
By all
a c c o u n t s ,
Bryan Pata
was living out
his dream at
Miami.
A 6-foot-
4, 280-pound
frame made
him an impos-
ing physical
s p e c i m e n .
Everyone on
campus, it seems, either knew him
or knew of him some because
he was a local kid who played at
Miami Central, others by recogniz-
ing his dread-locked look when he
was near.
He had a girlfriend and was set
to join the NFL ranks next year
after graduating with his criminol-
ogy degree. He wanted to work
with the FBI one day.
All those plans ended Tuesday
night.
Pata was gunned down at his
apartment complex around 7:30
p.m., police said, about two hours
after playing football for the last
time. The murder left his family
devastated, his university stunned
and his teammates in shock.
I tell you, this is a tragedy.
Theres no doubt, said Miami
quarterback Kirby Freeman, wholl
make his first start Saturday when
the Hurricanes with Patas num-
ber 95 on their helmets visit No.
23 Maryland. It is unexplainable.
Were such a strong family as a team
and when you lose one of your fam-
ily members, youre not sure how
to react.
So they play on, having decided
as a team to continue with Saturdays
game as scheduled, a move Coker
and the people who knew Pata best
say was the right one.
We have strong kids here,
Coker said. But theyre young.
Theyre very young. So this is a
tough experience for all of us,
young and old. ... The decision to
play is not so much about football.
I wish I could have told them this
would be the toughest thing theyll
ever experience in their life.
The problems that have plagued
the Hurricanes this season are unre-
lated, yet its the cumulative effect
that seemed to be adversely affect-
ing the teams psyche at times.
And now, obviously, the collec-
tive mood of the team may be at
rock bottom.
Absolutely, its frightening,
Freeman said. But I really believe
that the way things have happened
with our football team this year and
the struggles weve had, this could
just as easily happened anywhere in
the country.
Another tragedy in Miami

Chiefs lose another player to injury
By GREG BEAcHAM
ASSOcIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. The
San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland
Athletics have started a new gold
rush, south to the open spaces and
financial bounties of Silicon Valley.
The 49ers and As each hope to
build new stadiums in the south-
ern reaches of the San Francisco
Bay Area. Though the As yet-to-
be-announced plan appears closer
to fruition than the 49ers move
announced Thursday, both clubs
seem determined to leave behind two
of their sports
worst stadiums
for sparkling
new ballparks
in accommodat-
ing new home-
towns.
The 49ers
have abandoned
their decade-
long attempts
to build a new
stadium and a
massive com-
mercial-residential development
on Candlestick Point, their San
Francisco home since 1971.
Owner John York has decided he
wants a stand-alone stadium built on
20 acres across the street from the
teams longtime training complex in
Santa Clara, a suburb 30 miles south
of San Francisco.
I think its just an accepted fact
that our fan base has grown out,
and there are a number of our fans
throughout the Bay Area, York
said.
Meanwhile, the As have reached
a deal with Cisco Systems Inc. to
build a new high-tech ballpark in
Fremont, about 25 miles south of
Oakland. The field is expected to be
the home of a Major League Soccer
franchise as well.
The As hope to open their park
by 2011, while the 49ers have much
more work to do to meet a self-
imposed 2012 deadline to replace
the NFLs oldest unrenovated sta-
dium.
The teams intentions spotlight
the geographical migration of
money, power and influence in the
Bay Area in the six decades since
the 49ers were founded: Everything
is going south, where the NHLs San
Jose Sharks currently are the only
major sports franchise.
The South Bay region is anchored
by San Jose itself, already the big-
gest Bay Area city with more than
900,000 residents, and among the
fastest-growing in the county. Its
residents have the highest per-cap-
ita income of any big city in the
United States, due largely to the
regions role as the high-tech hub,
home to the headquarters of Intel
Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Apple
Computer Inc. and dozens of other
marquee companies.
York insisted the 49ers never will
leave the San Francisco Bay Area
or change their name. But he cited
several factors making it impossible
to continue planning for a stadium
and an accompanying commercial
complex which would help fund
the arenas construction on a thin
strip of land in the Hunters Point
neighborhood of San Francisco.
We truly wish that the results
were different, said York, who wrest-
ed control of the
storied franchise
from his broth-
er-in-law, Eddie
DeBartolo, in
the late 1990s.
We were the
last to be con-
vinced. We made
this decision as
a family, and in
the end we were
able to come to
this conclusion
by thinking about the challenges
from the fans perspective.
Still, York said he wouldnt com-
pletely slam the door on the pos-
sibility of a stadium in San Francisco
an indication the 49ers have years
of planning to do before construc-
tion could begin.
This legendary football team has
called the Bay Area home for 60
years, York said.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom said he hasnt given up
hope that the city will be able to
keep the 49ers. Every time the city
has been needed to secure the future
of the team, the city has stepped
up to the plate, he told reporters
Wednesday.
Donald Strickland, a defensive
back who grew up in Hunters Point
and signed with the 49ers last week,
is among the locals with bittersweet
emotions about the announcement.
Its been there for my whole
lifespan, Strickland said. Thats all
Ive known. It was always a place I
wanted to play in, and thats what I
used to train myself for. I used to run
around the whole stadium and up
the hill during my childhood, ever
since Pop Warner. I really dont want
to see it leave from that area.
The proposed move also jeopar-
dizes San Franciscos quest to host
the 2016 Olympics. The stadium was
to be used for opening and closing
ceremonies and track and field.
Well look at any and all options,
said Jesse Blout, San Franciscos
director of economic development.
The mayor wants to win these
Olympics.
The 49ers will meet soon with
Santa Clara officials who seem sur-
prised and flattered by the clubs
intentions but wary of the plans
vagueness. The club provided
few details of the projects poten-
tial financing but insisted no tax
increases or city money would be
necessary.
The only downside is the
unknown, said Steve Van Dorn,
the president of the Santa Clara
Chamber of Commerce. We still
dont know how this is going to be
financed, so theres still serious work
to be done.
The As will make a formal
announcement Tuesday of their
plans for a stadium dubbed Cisco
Field in Fremont. City officials
there have many of the same ques-
tions about financing and resources.

Bay Area teams to relocate
Oakland As, San Francisco 49ers look at Silicon Valley
By DOUG TUcKER
ASSOcIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas
City Chiefs linebacker Derrick
Johnson will not play against Miami
on Sunday, joining several other key
starters on an injury list that gets
longer each week.
Already out were Pro Bowl left
guard Brian Waters, who injured
his knee during last weeks game
at St. Louis, and right tackle Kevin
Sampson. Johnson, Kansas Citys
best tackler and top playmaker at
linebacker, hurt his ankle in the vic-
tory over the Rams and has not
practiced all week.
I think the young guys we have
in there are going to play well. But
its going to be a little bit new, coach
Herm Edwards said Thursday.
You find out about your play-
ers. You find the players who can
step up to the plate and say, `Im
ready. There are some guys who
dont handle it as well. But you find
it out about your team, and thats a
good thing.
Quarterback Trent Green, out
with a severe concussion since the
Sept. 10 season opener, will miss his
eighth straight start, although he will
suit up for the second straight game
and be on the sideline.
Green, who will visit the doctor
late Thursday, hopes to be ready for
next weeks game at home against
Oakland.
Edwards said he did not know
how long Johnson might be side-
lined. He and linebacker Kawika
Mitchell are tied for the team lead
with 54 tackles.
Safety Greg Wesley, another casu-
alty in the Rams game, was listed as
questionable.
Chris Bober, a sixth-year pro in
his second stint with the Chiefs, came
in for Waters last week and probably
will start Sunday, although Edwards
would not confirm that Thursday.
Kyle Turley will start at right tackle
for Sampson and Keyaron Fox, a
third-round pick in 2004, will get his
first NFL start in place of Johnson.
Fox has been a key contributor on
special teams.
This is my first NFL start. I hate
that it had to happen like this. But its
the chance Ive been waiting for and
Im going to do my best to go out and
take advantage of my opportunity,
Fox said.
I really believe that the way
things happened with our
football team this year and the
struggles weve had, this could
have happened anywhere in the
country.

The Jayhawk volleyball team
signed two outside hitters Thursday.
With fve seniors on the current
roster, the team adds two highly
touted high school seniors.
Coach Ray Bechard announced
Karina Garlington, from Denver,
and Jenna Kaiser, from Wichita,

Females, athletes earn
highest grad rates
INDIANAPOLIS College
athletes continue to graduate at
a higher rate than other students,
and female athletes again outper-
formed their male counterparts,
according to data released by the
NCAA on Thursday.
The latest measure-
ments showed incoming
athletes from the fresh-
man class of 1999-2000
held a 2-point advantage,
63 percent to 61 percent,
over their peers who did not
play sports. Athletes also had a 1
percent overall increase since last
years fgures.
Under the NCAAs new Gradu-
ation Success Rate formula, which
considers students who transfer
into and out of schools but still
graduate something left out of
the federal data 77 percent of
athletes supposed to graduate did
graduate for the one-year calcula-
tion.
The NCAAs numbers were
consistently higher than those
calculated under the federal
guidelines.
Among the more notable
fndings during a four-year period
were that female athletes earned
diplomas at a signifcantly higher
rate, 71 percent, than their male
counterparts.
Four schools Boston College,
Bucknell, Duke and Northwestern
graduated at least 90 percent
of their athletes over the one-year
period. Duke, at 91 percent, had
the highest rating.
The lowest scores belonged to
Florida A&M (19 percent), Texas-
Pan American (21 percent) and
Lamar (30 percent).

sport with the earliest starting
date, follow with games against
Army on Saturday and Stetson on
Sunday in the round-robin event.
The Tigers are favorites in all
three in their opening weekend,

6-23, Army was 5-22 and Stetson
fnished 14-18, but will not ap-
proach overly confdent.
Anderson has not settled on a

WACO, Texas A backup
quarterback is like a vice president.
Blake Syzmanski was Baylors Dick

Shawn Bells season ended early
when he went down with
a torn anterior cruciate
ligament Oct. 27. With the
Bears at 4-5 and needing
just two wins to get to a
bowl, Syzmanski suddenly became
commander-in-chief.
With no starts and just fve
passes thrown in his collegiate
career, the freshman signal caller
said he was anxious heading into
his frst start against Texas Tech
University.
He ended up throwing for 191
yards and one touchdown, com-
pleting 16 of 30 passes, Syzmanski
also scored twice on three-yard
runs.
Senior cornerback C.J. Wilson
said the defense needs to do a bet-
ter job giving Syzmanski and the
ofense a chance to win.
The Bears play their fnal road

they head to Stillwater, Okla., to

Paterno told his staff Thursday that
he would not be at Beaver Stadium
for Saturdays game against Temple.
The 79-year-old coach had surgery
Sunday to repair a fractured shin-
bone and two torn knee ligaments
in his left leg, injuries sustained in a
sideline collision in a loss last week
to Wisconsin.
His left leg fitted with a tempo-
rary brace, Paterno spoke with his
assistants Thursday morning dur-
ing a meeting at his Mount Nittany
Medical Center room.
You guys know what youre
doing and what I want enough that
I dont need to be there creating a
huge distraction Saturday, he told
them. Enough on me; lets get back
to football.
Paterno remained in good condi-
tion Thursday and was described by
a team spokesman, Guido DElia, to
be in good spirits, with his recovery
from surgery proceeding well.
Paterno is eager to check out,
but he wont be released until team
doctor Wayne Sebastianelli is satis-
fied with the progress of his recov-
ery. Its unclear whether Paterno
will watch his squad Saturday from
home or from his room at the hos-
pital, just down the street from the
stadium.
The coach just realized hes got
to be proactive, DElia said, that
in this condition it wasnt safe to be
out and about.
So JoePa and his rolled-up kha-
kis will be missing from the Penn
State sideline for the first time since
1977, when he missed a game after
his son, David, was involved in
an accident. Paterno also missed a
game as an assistant in 1955 after
his father died.
At least one thing hasnt changed:
Paterno wants to win.
His sights are set on a New Years
Day bowl game in Florida, a des-
tination that Penn State can likely
lock up if they beat Temple on
Saturday, and Michigan State in the
regular-season finale on Nov. 18. A
decision on whether Paterno can
coach against the Spartans from
a coachs box high above Beaver
Stadium will be made next week.
Doctors have said Paterno might
be allowed to coach from the side-
lines for a bowl game as long as
his recovery is going well and he
can stay off his feet. It might be six
weeks until Paterno can put weight
on the left leg.
The school didnt name an act-
ing head coach, though Bradley,
an assistant to Paterno for 28 years,
will make any tough decisions come
game-time.
NBA
Fans criticize LeBron for leaving court
BY JIM LITKE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Being tabbed the next Michael
Jordan is great for as long as it lasts.
Theres fat contracts and sneaker
deals, commercials by the dozen, an
invite inside every velvet rope and
endless adulation.
If those things dont trip you
up, well, theres always the cameras.
Always, as LeBron James should
know by now, there will be cam-
eras.
One caught him walking off the
floor Tuesday night in Cleveland
with about 15 seconds of overtime
left in a game against the Atlanta
Hawks. James just had missed a
3-point shot, the Cavs were nine
behind, and the Hawks were headed
the other way up the floor.
Like more than a few players on
more than a few nights, he started
toward the tunnel before the final
buzzer sounded. All James has heard
since beyond endless replays of
an astonished Hawks announcer
chirping, What a great sport he is!
is how he let everyone down.
The list starts with his teammates
and fans and extends on up to NBA
commissioner David Stern, whos
caught in the throes of an etiquette
campaign that would make Miss
Manners blush.
Anytime someone doesnt have
anything to talk about, theyre going
to question anything that you do,
James said before tip-off Thursday
night at home against the Chicago
Bulls. He was still in a defiant
mood.
Say if we were winning the game
and I did the same thing that I did
when we lost. Would it have been
mentioned? James added without
waiting for an answer. I dont think
so.
What he did offends old-school
sensibilities, no doubt. We say keep
hustling to the end of every game,
no matter how bitter. But its anoth-
er thing to lecture a professional
who just played 47 tough minutes in
a tough loss, knowing there are 75
more games and who-knows-how-
many postseason series left.
Its hardly a reason to take some-
one whose precociousness on
and off the court has invited
comparisons to Jordan, Magic
Johnson and Oscar Robertson and
suddenly demote him to Randy
Moss classroom.
Not that James felt slighted:
Randy Moss is a guy who has been
unfairly treated sometimes ... but
hes one of the best players in the
game.
Unlike Moss, James has been
a model citizen. His talents have
been tempered by humor and a
well-developed sense of diplomacy
that make it easy to forget hes still
21 years old. James instincts have
taken him this far without so much
as a serious hiccup.
Hes handled the spotlight as
capably as defenders since high
school, and thats without the ben-
efit of even one season on campus,
let alone with somebody like Dean
Smith in his corner.

Kansas fans shouldnt be fooled by
the directional name of the Jayhawks
first regular season opponent.
Northern Arizona will be a chal-
lenging team for a vulnerable Kansas
squad that played without junior
center Sasha Kaun and junior guard
Jeremy Case for the entire preseason
and without sophomore guard Mario
Chalmers against Emporia State.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that
because of everything his team has
had to deal with, hes pleased with
where his players are, but said the
team definitely wasnt where he
expected it to be to start the regular
season.
Were not close to being where
we should be, Self said. But Im not
sure its possible to be close to where
we could be if we dont have Sasha,
Mario and Jeremy out there.
Self said Case was doubtful
for Saturday, but had better news
about Chalmers and Kaun. He said
Chalmers had been battling blis-
ters in addition to his sprained toe,
but expected him to play against
Northern Arizona.
As for Kaun, Self said the three
to six week timeline for the start-
ing centers return appeared to be
accurate.
The trainers and doctors tell me
hes doing great, Self said. But great
means, still, at least three weeks, but
hopefully not the latter part.
He said Kaun isnt able to do any
work on the court. Instead, hes been
rehabbing in the water.
Hes spending a ton of time in
the pool, learning how to swim, Self
said with a smirk.
With Chalmers likely to return,
Kansas should have its start-
ing backcourt of Chalmers, junior
guard Russell Robinson and sopho-
more guard Brandon Rush intact.
Sophomore forward Julian Wright
and junior forward Darnell Jackson
should start in the frontcourt.
Freshmen Sherron Collins and
Darrell Arthur should be the first
Jayhawks off the bench at guard
and forward, respectively, and junior
guard Rodrick Stewart will also be
a key contributor off the bench for
Kansas.
The Northern Arizona
Lumberjacks are coming off a 12-
point victory against Fort Lewis in
its lone exhibition game. Northern
Arizona returns four starters from
a squad that went 21-11 last season
and won the Big Sky regular season
title. Like Kansas, Northern Arizona
is the preseason favorite to win its
conference.
As a team, Northern Arizona
made eight of 21 three-point attempts
against Fort Lewis. Its this ability to
score from the outside even by
Lumberjack big men that has Self
concerned.
Their big guys can all step away
from the basket and, at least, stretch
the defense in that regard, Self
said.
Even if Kansas gets out to an early
lead, Self knows the Lumberjacks are
the type of team that can chop away
at a lead.
If they get on a roll, they could
shoot nine balls and have 18 points
very easily, Self said. I would say
that would be a big concern.
While Self is worried about being
upset by a mid-major in Kansas
home opener, Northern Arizona
coach Mike Adras isnt exactly over-
joyed that the season he gets to play
Kansas is the season its ranked No. 3
in the nation.
I need to have my head exam-
ined, Adras said in a Big Sky tele-
conference. Theres no question
about that.

WBCA Classic to start in K.C.

Jayhawks move from exhibition games to regular season
By CAsE KEEfEr
This weekends WBCA Classic
may be in nearby Kansas City, but
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson
will be treating it like any other road
trip.
Were going to go up there Friday
night, she said. Its a good opportu-
nity to give these young kids an idea
of what its like to travel.
The Jayhawks first regular season
game is at 2 p.m. Saturday against the
Seton Hall Pirates, the first round of
the WBCA Classic. The Jayhawks
will look to build on a rough exhibi-
tion game where they had to rally to
defeat Washburn.
The team also struggled to finish
strong in the first exhibition game
against Fort Hays State. These incon-
sistencies make for an all-too-famil-
iar goal to bring into the Seton Hall
game.
We still have to play better both
halves, freshman forward Danielle
McCray said. The last game, the
first half was bad and the first game,
the second half was bad.
McCray led the team in scor-
ing during exhibition play, with
13 points per game despite having
not started in either game. McCray
will continue to split time in the
backcourt with junior Jamie Boyd,
junior Taylor
McIntosh, and
fellow freshman
Sade Morris.
After playing
38 minutes and
committing only
one foul against
Wa s h b u r n ,
sophomore for-
ward Marija
Zinic will con-
tinue to have a
big role in the tournament. Zinic
led Kansas in points, rebounds and
blocks in the game.
The Jayhawks will need another
strong performance from Zinic
on Saturday. Seton Hall returns
its leading scorer and rebounder,
senior Monique Blake. The 6-foot
forward received All-Big East
Honorable Mention accolades after
last season.
The only other senior on the
Pirates roster, Heta Korpivaara, is
the only return-
ing player to
start all 27
games last sea-
son. The match-
up between
the 6-foot-2
Korpivaara and
the 5-foot-11
Taylor McIntosh
should be an
interesting one.
Sophomore
Ivana Catic
started both exhibition games at
point guard but had difficulty on
the defensive end of the floor. This
resulted in more time for freshman
guards Kelly Kohn and LaChelda
Jacobs.
Kohn and Jacobs are the quick-
est guards on the team and increase
defensive intensity when subbed into
the game. The two will have to con-
tinue this on Saturday against a pair
of play-making Seton Hall sopho-
more guards, Shantel Brown and
Brittney Messina.
The Jayhawks will rely heavily
on underclassmen to carry the team
into the regular season. Of the nine
players to see action in the exhibi-
tion game against Washburn, six of
them were freshmen or sophomores.
This cant be the typical young team,
however, and Bonnie Henrickson
knows it.
We cant use youth as an excuse;
if we do that, well have to excuse the
whole year, she said.
Kansas will play again in the sec-
ond round Sunday against either
Missouri State or Iowa, depending
upon the outcomes of both first-
round games.

Chiefs, Jayhawks on eerily parallel paths
Only a short drive away from the
big city and a Kansan for a sizable
chunk of my life, being a Kansas
City Chiefs fan simply comes with
the territory.
Im aware that the number of
Jayhawk lovers probably more than
quadruple the Chiefs nation on
campus, but for those of us that lie
within both categories, this season
has taught us a lesson or two in
stress management.
The football programs that much
of Lawrence holds near and dear
seem to be progressing through the
season on parallel paths.
Crazy, I know, but think about
it.
In the first half of both seasons,
both the Jayhawks and the Chiefs
put their postseasons in doubt.
While Kansas City opened its sea-
son with an 0-2 start, Kansas was
in the middle of a four-game Big 12
Conference slide.
Aside from the losses, the mis-
fortunes also eerily correlate. Chiefs
fans mourned the loss of two-time
Pro Bowler Trent Green in the sea-
son opener against Cincinnati sec-
onds after the infamous helmet-to-
chin hit on the franchises starting
quarterback.
Finally done with the great
quarterback debate of the previ-
ous season, true freshman Kerry
Meier stepped into the full-time
starting quarterback job in time
for the Jayhawks to kick off their
season. Meier suffered an injury of
his own against Toledo, and sud-
denly Kansas was short a starting
quarterback as well.
While senior Adam Barmann
made his blip on the backup radar
screen, coach Mark Manginos
decision to shed freshman Todd
Reesings redshirt and start him
against Colorado opened the door
for what resulted in a quality back-
up, as Reesing threw for a pair of
touchdowns and ran for one to lead
his team to victory.
What a coincidence.
Kansas Citys temporary quar-
terback, Damon Huard, has now
become the definition of a quality
backup. Without completing a pass
in the National Football League
since 2000, Huard is currently 5-2
as a starter.
With both Huard and Reesing
put in positions to save their
respective teams seasons, each has
stepped up to the task.
At 5-3, Kansas City is currently
in the early stages of the AFCs
wildcard race, a spot even us die-
hards couldnt have predicted when
Green went down indefinitely.
Consequently, when Kansas sat at
a dismal 3-5, Reesing stepped in
and won what may have been a
huge game for the Jayhawks against
Colorado and had a hand in last
weeks victory at Iowa State.
The Jayhawks are now just a sin-
gle victory away from being bowl
eligible.
Luckily, Reesing and Huard each
had a right-hand man to aide in
their success. Senior running back
Jon Cornish broke 1,100 yards
rushing last weekend at Iowa State,
while Huard had the powerhouse
known as Larry Johnson to consis-
tently move the ball.
Not to mention the go-to
tight ends. Last Saturday, Meier
and Reesing both connected with
junior tight end Derek Fine for
a pair of touchdowns. How did
Kansas Citys tight end fare last
weekend? Thats right, the phe-
nomenon named Tony Gonzalez
had a couple of touchdown recep-
tions himself.
As stressful as our lives may be,
living and dying by our teams suc-
cesses and failures, at least theyve
the courtesy to synchronize their
ups and downs.

Both Kansas and the Chiefs quarterback situations have not turned out exactly as planned. Freshman Kerry Meier and traditional
starter for Kansas City Trent Green, were both injured earlier in the season. Their backups, Todd Reesing and Damon Huard, have been winners.
Northern Arizona enters the
game a big underdog to No. 3
Kansas. The Lumberjacks will
have to depend on their deep
backcourt. Emporia State was
able to exploit Kansas perim-
eter defense. If the Lumberjacks
sophomore point guard Josh
Wilson, who led the team with
195 assists last season, can get
into the lane and kick the ball
out to the Lumberjacks prolifc
three point shooters, they could
surprise the Jayhawks. They are
the type of experienced mid-
major team, like a Ball State or
Richmond, that can provide a
big time program like Kansas an
early head-scratching defeat.
6 number of seasons spent in
college by senior guard Steven
Sir, who earned a sixth season
from the NCAA after missing
one season for transferring and
another season to an injury.
2 number of seasons it took
Sir to rank ffth on the career
three-point feld goal list at
Northern Arizona.
8 number of seasons spent
by Mike Adras as the coach of
the Lumberjacks. Adras was the
coach of the year last season in
the Big Sky Conference.
516 number of assists for
Northern Arizona last season.
Point guard Josh Wilson had
195 assists, more than doubling
Tyrone Bazy, who was second
on the team with 79 assists.
Nathan Geiser, a 6-foot-4
transfer from Northern Oklaho-
ma College,
came of the
bench in the
lone exhibi-
tion game
for Northern
Arizona and
was the lead-
ing scorer
against Fort
Lewis College. Geiser comes of
the bench to provide the scor-
ing punch that Sir brought last
season.
Will Northern Arizona be
able to shoot three pointers
against the Kansas defense?
Last year Northern Arizonas
Stephen Sir led the nation in
three-point feld goal percent-
age. Against Washburn and Em-
poria State, Kansas has held its
opponents to only 26 percent
from three-point range.
Expectations are high for the
Jayhawks in their regular season
opener. Kansas made it through
exhibition play with a pair of
lopsided victories against Wash-
burn and Emporia State. How-
ever, the Jayhawks were chal-
lenged in both games and didnt
really pull away until the second
half of each. Kansas led Emporia
State, which was picked to fnish
ninth out of 10 teams in its con-
ference, by only four at halftime
Tuesday. The Jayhawks were un-
stoppable after halftime in their
exhibition games, though, scor-
ing a combined 99 points and
holding opponents to 55 total
second half points.
4 number of straight home
games Kansas has to begin the
regular season.
6 number of Jayhawks who
averaged double fgures during
exhibition play.
34 number of consecutive
home-opener victories Kansas
would have with a win.
77 total number of points
Kansas has outscored Northern
Arizona in two all-time meet-
ings.
Freshman forward Dar-
rell Arthur stole the show in
his exhibition debut, leading
all Jayhawks in scoring with 21
and nabbing an astounding six
steals. He
even threw
in six boards,
two blocks
and a three
pointer. How-
ever, in near-
ly as many
minutes on
Tuesday, he made only three of
11 feld goals on his way to 12
points. Arthur did bring down
10 rebounds, but that was
against an undersized Emporia
State team. Kansas fans will get
a better idea of who the real
Shady is Saturday against a
taller Northern Arizona squad.
How will Kansas frontcourt
fare against Northern Arizo-
nas?
Kansas out-rebounded an
average sized Washburn team
by only one and allowed Icha-
bod big men to score 55 points.
Kansas performed better down
low against Emporia State, but
the Hornets were drastically un-
dersized. This Northern Arizona
team is bigger and better than
Washburn, so Kansas frontcourt
had better be ready.
Ofense
Ofense is not a problem for Kansas. The Jayhawks shot 44.7 per-
cent from the feld as a team during exhibition play. Even without
sharpshooter Jeremy Case, Kansas also proved dangerous from
behind the three-point line. The Jayhawks three-point percentage
was also 44.7 against Washburn and Emporia State. Kansas has ben-
efted from second-chance shots and forwards Julian Wright and
Darnell Jackson are a big reason why. The two combined for 20 of
Kansas 40 ofensive rebounds during exhibition play. The third pre-
dominant member of Kansas frontcourt is forward Darrell Arthur.
Arthur was the Jayhawks leading scorer in the preseason, posting
33 total points against the Ichabods and Hornets. Turnovers werent
really a problem for Kansas in its exhibition games, but it should be
wary of getting careless with the ball on Saturday. Northern Arizo-
nas only exhibition opponent committed 32 turnovers.
Defense
Arthur put on a defensive clinic against Washburn. In 22 minutes,
he had six steals, two blocks and four defensive rebounds. Guard
Mario Chalmers wasnt far behind with three steals and three de-
fensive boards. Against Emporia State, guard Sherron Collins led
the team with three steals. In just two games, Kansas nabbed 24
steals and Washburn and Emporia State combined for 47 turn-
overs. Kansas defense has picked up in the second half of
games. While Washburns feld goal percentage dropped
slightly in the second half, Emporia States percentage
fell nearly 35 percent. Where Kansas clearly needs to
improve on defense is rebounding. Washburn had
two more defensive rebounds than Kansas. Last Tues-
day, Kansas had only four more defensive rebounds
than Emporia State. Kansas also needs to play
balanced defense. Washburns post play-
ers combined for 55 of the Ichabods
69 points. The next game, Emporia
States starting guards combined for
30 of the Hornets 55 points.

Momentum
Kansas didnt have the most productive pre-
season. Although standout freshmen Arthur and
Collins look like the genuine articles, veterans have
been dropping like fies. In a matter of days, starting
center Sasha Kaun injured his knee, guard Jeremy Case
pulled his groin, Chalmers sprained his toe, and center
C.J. Giles was dismissed from the team. Chalmers is
the only one expected to play on Saturday. On the
bright side, the Jayhawks should no longer have
to deal with the distractions Giles brought to the
team and now that they are playing for real, coach
Bill Self wont be mixing and matching lineups as
much. The key (healthy) elements of this team play-
ers like Russell Robinson, Chalmers, Collins, Brandon
Rush, Wright, Arthur, and Jackson should play better
on both ends of the court the more minutes they play
together.

Ofense
Northern Arizona lost its best player from last season in Kelly
Golob to graduation. Golob was an all-conference forward and
led the team in scoring last season. But it isnt a stretch to say
Northern Arizona will fll his scoring void with relative ease this
season with a combination of inside play and long-range bomb-
ing. Four of the Lumberjacks fve starters from last season return
from a team that won the regular season Big Sky title and was a
win away from the NCAA tournament. Three players return that
averaged double fgures last season. Ruben Boykin, a 6-7 senior
forward, was all-conference last season, averaging 13.3 points
per game and 7.2 rebounds. Senior guard Tyrone Bazy was the
conference newcomer of the year and averaged 11.5 points per
game. Bazy scored 17 points in the Lumberjacks lone exhibition
game but can be stopped if teams force him to shoot behind
the arc. He was 0-3 shooting threes in the opener and hit only
6-of-60 three pointers a season ago. Senior guard Stephen Sir
more than makes up for Bazys ineptness beyond the arc. Sir,
a sixth man last year, led the nation in three-point shooting
percentage, hitting 48.9 percent of his three-point tries. Junior
newcomer Nathan Geiser, a 6-4 guard from Northern Oklahoma
College, shot 45 percent beyond the arc last season at NOC and
averaged 17 points per game.
Defense
It wasnt defense that won Northern Arizona the Big Sky
championship last year. The Lumberjacks gave up 70.7 points
per game and their opponents shot 45.2 percent. In compari-
son, the Jayhawks gave up only 61.3 points per game and
held opponents to 37 percent. In the lone exhibition
game, Northern Arizona gave up 74 points to a
Division II team, Fort Lewis College.
Momentum
Northern Arizona opens the regular
season with a 1-0 record in the exhibi-
tion season. The Lumberjacks ended
last season in a funk. After winning
the Big Sky regular season title, they
lost their fnal two games of the sea-
son both at home. The frst loss was to
Montana 70-63 in the Big Sky postsea-
son tournament championship, which
would have earned Northern Arizona
a spot in the NCAA tournament. The
second was a season-ending loss to
Delaware State in the frst round of the
postseason NIT.
Florida Atlantic at Oklahoma State, 8 p.m. Friday
Jayhawk fans will see some familiar faces in this game. Former
Kansas guard Rex Walters is in his frst season coaching FAU.
Walters, who led the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1993, took
over this season for former KU assistant Matt Doherty.
Sean Sutton, Oklahoma State coach, is also in his frst full season
as the head coach. Sutton took over midway through last season
for his father Eddie Sutton.
Oklahoma State, led by junior guard JamesOn Curry, is picked to
fnish third in the Big 12 this season by the coaches.
FAU also has several other former Jayhawks on their bench. For-
mer Kansas basketball manager Justin Bauman is now the Director
of Basketball Operations at FAU.
Jarrod Gravatt, who was a Kansas student last year, is now a man-
ager at FAU.
UAB at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 5:30 p.m. Sunday
Mike Davis makes his debut with UAB after stepping down from
Indiana last season. UAB matches up with Wisconsin-Milwaukee in
the John Thompson Foundation Classic in Milwaukee, Wis.
Davis takes over for Mike Anderson, who left to coach Mizzou
this season. The Blazers have been to three straight NCAA tourna-
ments, losing to Kansas in 2004 in the sweet 16.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been to two straight NCAA tourna-
ments, making a sweet 16 run in 2005 and losing in the second
round last season to eventual national champion Florida.
Pepperdine at No. 16 Washington, 9:30 p.m. Sunday
McDonalds All-American and highly recruited big man Spencer
Hawes makes his debut for the Huskies.
Hawes, a freshman from Seattle, was recruited by Bill Self but
picked Washington over Kansas. Hawes joins another McDonalds
All-American in Jon Brockman to form one of the best young front-
lines in the nation.
Pepperdine, which lost to Kansas 63-43 last season, is usually one
of the top teams in the West Coast Conference, the same confer-
ence as west coast power Gonzaga. The Waves had a down season
last year, fnishing the season 7-20. Vance Walberg takes over the
program this year after Paul Westphal stepped down in March.
Pepperdine junior center Jarrad Henry played his high school
basketball at Bishop Miege in Kansas City.
